THE REAL ULTIMATE SEAM MANIFESTO
AKA: why the fuck are they like that what’s their deal!!!!
i’ve been a huge deltarune fan since release, and one of my favorites (if not my most favorite) is seam. and, as anyone does when their favorite is a character with not too much screentime and not too much content, I’ve ended up going down my own rabbithole of obsession and analysis of their dialogue and appearances. However, this has led me to a conclusion that i believe to be separate from my own biases and grounded somewhat in evidence:
seam is a deceivingly important character. and the following text is my manifesto on the topic. i am sure some, or even much, of the info presented in this has been documented or theorized on by other people, but i hope this can serve as a convenient summary of seam info, and that i can provide some new bits of info or speculation for anyone reading. i hope you will give it a read! (art below by me)

people need to stop misgendering seam in my notes please.
in-game, seam never once used he/him pronouns or was referred to as a man or any masculine term—that is entirely a fandmade concept. same goes for she/her pronouns and feminine terms, though i’ve only known maybe two people ever to do that. the closest thing to a gendered term we have is seam’s personal pronoun in the japanese translation, but even that has historically been used by both binary genders.
dialogue describing seam in-game seems to purposely exclude pronouns, particularly the royal coat rack’s “there wasn’t any interest.” in a stream, toby once corrected someone who referred to seam as “he” by saying “they are a good character.”
seam uses they/them or no pronouns. or if you want to use it/its or neos that’s cool too. but using she/her or he/him is misgendering. this isn’t an attack—seam is tragically not a fan favorite so a lot of people just don’t know—but i would really love if whenever a seam post of mine got a ton of notes it didn’t have a bunch of he/hims mixed in.
