You know what I really hate about making stuff inspired by popular pieces of media like Deltarune?

Whenever I make a character, and they seem just SLIGHTLY similar to another, more popular character, they are immediately compared and seen as

"Oh, so it’s just [insert famous thing] but worse?"

Like, I'm making some sprites for a character in The Flipside right now and I KNOW that everyone is just going to say

"YOU JUST RIPPED OFF TENNA!! YOU JUST MADE CAINE FROM THE DIGITAL CIRCUS!!! GET ORIGINAL IDEAS!!"

*inhale*

*exhale*

You're kidding, right? There are only so many character archetypes to choose from and combine together. Everything is just a version of something else.

Like can we just not say "Oh so this character is zany, chaotic and say weird stuff? It must be a ripoff!" and only compare when we should?

My point? I dunno. Just annoys me. Not even sure this makes any sense.
