Art by  dweet-tea - a single panel of a much, much larger project I have been hinting at for literally years now. Or as the current Deltarune meme would go: "YOUR TAKING TOO LONG"!

I will post the full details of what that is and when it's expected to be done after Anthrocon 2025 - but those who follow me in other communities have already seen the damn near complete WIPs. If you want to know what this project is just a bit earlier, just have to poke your head into the community which is represented by the archery equipment.

So everyone's on the Deltarune kick, as am I. Undertale comes out, a number of the tracks from it become part of my identity for a long time, and some of those have stayed with me during moments of great significance. Deltarune Chapters 1 and 2 come out, and some tracks from that (mostly the expected ones) do the same, but in different ways. When Chapters 3 and 4 had their release date announced, I pretty much just had the question "okay, what from this game is going to permanently integrate itself into my personality and persona?" It didn't hit me right away, but when it did, oh boy did it.

For those who have made it through Chapter 4 and fought the secret boss...there are a number of things that can be said about him:

-Fighting on the good guys' side
-Extremely powerful
-Shows up in moments of significance for others to clear the way for their victory
-Has had an impersonator do evil "under their name" previously
-Has spars with allies, not seeking to do actual damage, but test others' strength and help them complete their own character arc
-Very, very good at dodging/not taking damage
-Spends an inordinate amount of time during their chapter seeking to write their story
-Old

And to top it all off, the "(Weapon) of Justice" thing, for which my particular sub-community focuses on the symbol of a particular weapon, but fighting on the side of good?

Yep. That'll do it.

Lucas is somewhat a tangent of Gerson, and Hammer of Justice --> Bow of Justice.

The rest of the project details go public in 2 weeks, as does the target release date.
