Mama miba! Mom AMOEBA! Kate and Sophia talk Carol and Toriel, the two main moms of Deltarune, and how their stories intersect with the game’s view of family.

Topics: OFF. Baggage from Undertale. Madonna-whore complex. You might be worried because your room doesn't have stuff in it, but your family loves you in this game. Alarm clocks and alcohol. Fantasy villains versus real bad parenting. Parallels between Dark World bosses and the adults of Hometown. Kate says “frumpkin” and “multiphoner” within two minutes of each other. T-Rank and C-Rank. Why the heck does Toriel believe in sin??? What Asriel and Dess tell us. It’s like she’s having some kind of “knightmare.” [[HeartShapedObject]]. Carol’s role in the weird route. What are the relationships between the four Holiday and Dreemurr adults? A highly important final question is answered. We finish with some Star Wars talk.
