'Tenna coded' no he didn't. His ass can't even use google right.

[ripe harbor]

glad more people are talking about this, or at least reads closer to this

"Kris is meaningfully different from 'usual' humanity in some way" seems like one of the more likely crack theories, in that it would click in very neatly with a lot of the vague mystery stuff & forms a strong parallel with Darkners in general

as well as providing an answer for 'why is their relationship to the Soul so odd compared to any other character'

[low surge]

Continuing my UTY play-through

[rain lotus]

wow it even has the fancy wrods

what musical stings do you think play here

sped up version of the quiz theme and then abrupt discordant piano chord

[crimson badger]

I can see an extremely bitcrushed scare/shock chord (maybe even a synth voice), a beat, and an audience reaction before continuing

[crimson badger]

it fits neatly with a lot of our meanderings here I think, or at least mine, would be really messed up and feed to their fears of being used up if the soul IS the soul they were meant to have because its out Soul, and just now manchurian activated to execute deltarune

there would be no soul they were getting back and no fallback, and if connection is lost do they keep living with the Soul as theirs, or do we leave, soul and all?

[rain lotus]

this game broke my brain i was listening to unrelated sludge metal and thought "huh there's a lot of ocean imagery here i think it's pretty knightcoded" and then realized what i was saying

[rain barn]

I was listening to shadows rising from stranger of paradise and thought "yknow this is pretty kris-coded"

[sour mesa]

lol

[serene loom]

chara pap and rory too

[lusty cypress]

Literally me

You know, "you can't choose who you are in this world" really applies to kris and the player

The question of self specially, as kris seems worried about the intersection of their will and the soul's

[ripe harbor]

bitcrushed gunshot or maybe a johnny test whip crack

[ripe harbor]

though audience gasp is really good too

[crimson badger]

going back to this humans are such an enigma to the dreemurrs that I could totally buy Toriel thinking human children start off gray before getting 'colored in'

[velvet olive]

Asgore Is Banging Gaster Theory

[low surge]

It’s me! Your eggs-royal scientist!

[low surge]

If I was Kris and both my parents were cracking Sans I’d start the roaring myself

[ripe harbor]

yeah I really like how it would serve to underline their fears and concerns. What if they were actually 'intended' to be a blank slate, and their personhood is accidental or an uneeded byproduct

Would it make them any less of a person?

What makes someone a human - is it the soul? Is Kris meaningfully 'human' without us?

is it the parts? Is the vessel a complete and full human person too, regardless of where we come in?

When did you start being yourself?

[crimson badger]

when did you- ah

sniped

[ripe harbor]

I think one place a lot of gaster-y device theories fail is not being meaningfully situated in the world itself

like - ok. Gaster built a 'device' to connect us, sure: where. What did he build in the world / setting he exists within to create that.

[crimson badger]

DEVICE_KRIS

[ripe harbor]

HERO_SWORD

I wasn't even thinking on those lines but thats interesting

I mean moreso it becomes indistinguishable from just assuming Gaster as a literal wizard

[low surge]

I do really like this theory yeah

[ripe harbor]

he cast 'GonerMake'

If you want to situate the device stuff as existing within the fiction, given the claims, I think you gotta at least consider its origins as existing there too

[low surge]

I think it would be an interesting twist if Kris was the Vessel, but they became their own person through the love and care of others

[crimson badger]

wait, what happens if a monster already capable of magic, gets exposed to dark world magic?

[low surge]

Which makes our possession of them all the worse

[ripe harbor]

well, I guess the single example we have is W.D. Gaster, so

[low surge]

Console commands

[crimson badger]

you reach outside the bounds outside your bounds

[ripe harbor]

It would definitely fit the underlying themes that keep cropping up in the solo Kris sections

lock-in on a video game enough, the game 'becomes' real. Color in copies, they become indistinguishable from the originals.

Find someone whos 'just' emails come to life, decide their personhood matters still

[crimson badger]

care enough about something, and no matter its unreality its importance cannot be denied

[ripe harbor]

The interesting thing is what the Burning Eyes boss sort of implies

care about something enough - look at it hard enough - and its reality can't be denied. Even if you want it to be.

You can't put the nightmares back in the box.

[low surge]

Hell it’s kind of perfectly emblematic of UDTR as a whole and how it has so much life outside of its bounds through the community

I mean the entire speech at the end of the anniversary stream after all

Toby may have created the games, but it’s the love of those outside of it that have made it what it is

[ripe harbor]

actually wouldn't be surprised if this is the 'power' of the soul Gaster is interested in, as well

the ability to make things real

[crimson badger]

yeah, I am fully convinced the community layer is an explicitly intentional part of interacting with the text/metatext in DR

[ripe harbor]

(and maybe apply that to 'fate' as well? Tilt / force specific outcomes?)

[ripe harbor]

anime IS real......

[crimson badger]

Gaster's Roaring

[ripe harbor]

I think the timeloop theories might have a point, but not nessasarily in an actual time loop sense

I just could believe that "shattered across time" W.D. "related to Save files" Gaster might be sending the soul 'back' in some way

The world is covered in darkness in endings where you give up, it could've already happened in some way

HM... ACTUALLY, THERE ARE STILL DINOSAURS... IS IT MIXED UP?```

Is it the future, or is it the past, or does the difference really matter when everything gets indistinct enough

[sharp lodge]

so i'm sure ya'll know about the theory that ramb was "supposed" to be the secret boss of chapter 3 but the knight didn't get there in time
i think i've already said that i don't like it
but i do think a small part of it might be true
which is that ramb isn't a secret boss because kris made the fountain
but not for the reason that that theory says so
we know from chapter 4 that fountains are influenced by the people who make them, look at the difference between susie's fountain and the other 2
and we know the knight made the fountains in chapter 1, 2, and most of the fountains in chapter 4
which means that the knights thoughts and feelings probably influenced those dark worlds
and those 3 chapters are the only ones to have a secret boss with themes of freedom

i think that freedom might be more of a hangup for the knight than kris, given that they take the soul back every time they remove it, so they're at least willing to endure our presence to accomplish their goal
also, i think that kris's freakout after the pacifist end to the spamton neo fight might relate more to the knight than themself, at least if this theory is accurate
because what ever literal or metaphorical strings might control the knight, the implication is that freeing the knight from their situation will lead to their death
and we know the knight is someone important to kris, and their situation is likely a cause for guilt for them

[ripe harbor]

They're also unhappy with what traps them, given their reactions whenever they're torn between Susie and Mysterious Phone Voice

but it could definitely also mirror the knight

especially if Spamton & the Shelter (aka the Knight) end up connected to

[low surge]

Damn you know what I never considered that

[ripe harbor]

yeah instead you get Ramb whos an unmemorable outcast outsider who never properly fit into their home until they unceremoniously get used up and dissappear & nobody cares at all in the slightest

moral: Kris is british

||and not alright||

I was wondering the other day is part of Kris' angst with the secret boss quests is that it implies a Soul that is curious and seeking deeper answers

which, they're working to run whatever's going on with the conspiracy

which at least partially seems like its based on tricking the soul

[low surge]

Ramb was just theory bait duh

[strange cloud]

The Mikes were about all those other theories

And not mine

[sharp lodge]

having trouble putting this into words but
i think there's something there with ramb being like, the outward facing part of kris's issues
and eram being the stuff that's more internal
and how eram ends up being the secret boss despite not being the guy who keeps talking about freedom

[ripe harbor]

I agree

though I didn't bring them up as directly because it doesn't quite seem like Eram was made with Kris' Dark Fountain

at the very least, the Shadow Mantle was taken before TV World was created. Though Dark Worlds are already kind of acausal

like how the chapter 4 Darkners for Susie's fountain already exist in the first sanctuary, just as statues.

[rain lotus]

kris' biggest outward facing issue is being british

[low surge]

Fatal flaw

saw someone reply to this with the comment that "Dess" short for December can also stand for "Destiny" and honestly?

let them cook

👀

thats one of those reads that I'm not staking high confidence in yet but. Check on it after the whole things done see how it plays out.

[strange cloud]

Uhhh… maybe?

[ripe harbor]

I dont think its particularly meaningful yet

but UT does fucked up things with names. I straight up don't believe 'Serial Murderer' was intentional, sorry

[strange cloud]

[ripe harbor]

I could see it as possibly true, if December Holiday ends up representing 'the way things have to be' as the knight or whatever

[strange cloud]

It may not be intentional

But it does go hard

[ripe harbor]

in the same way I doubt the Weird Route is named that after the old english word for fate

but idk. maybe it is.

[ripe harbor]

I dont even know about that lol

[ripe harbor]

not just a serial killer a serial murderer

my OC...... john killspeople....

[strange cloud]

Like Asriel wouldn’t make that?

[ripe harbor]

true.....

[strange cloud]

An unfortunate aspect of Asriel’s character that needs to be acknowledged to understand him

[sour mesa]

Dreemurr rearranging to Murderer feels appropriate for the initial Asgore reveal

[strange cloud]

Is that he would absolutely make a Jeff the killer OC

[sour mesa]

we've got Toriel warning about Asgore, Papyrus saying "oh I'm sure King Dreemurr will help"

and then the twist that nope they're the same guy

you're not getting help

[strange cloud]

Yah especially with how it’s an extremely weird spelling otherwise

As like, it’s just a misspelling of Dreemurr

The two rs really make me think it

Because like, the more natural spelling is Dreemure

It’s still phonetically dreamer while not reusing the same letter twice

[sour mesa]

Asriel->Serial isn't necessarily a "this is the source of the name," there's plenty of other reasons to propose

but i can at least imagine Toby thinking "huh that does rearrange to that"

"neat"

[strange cloud]

Yah

[ripe harbor]

Its a little alien to me but I don't tend to put a super huge amount of thought into character names when I make them

[strange cloud]

Oh same

[ripe harbor]

I never assumed Kris or Susie had particular reasons to their names

[strange cloud]

Most I do is name shit after stuff

[ripe harbor]

but idk Toby could be built different there I'd believe it

[ripe harbor]

I can get a little finicky with titles or chosen names because those have characterization involved (what does it say about them to self-describe as X instead of Y)
but not as much in a meta sense

[ripe harbor]

Undertale Nominative Determinism theory

he killed those kids because his name was Murderer.....

[sour mesa]

actually if i really want to get speculative

i think it's most likely that Asgore and Toriel were named after Asriel

Which makes acronym puns on "Asriel Dreemurr" significantly more likely than if his name came second

[rain lotus]

i remember hearing about this in high school english class lol

it comes up during the beowulf curriculum i think

[rain lotus]

tbh kris feels really apt

a kris is a sacred possessed dagger

[ripe harbor]

I've always wondered how this plays into Ralse(i) as a name being older than Asriel, according to Toby

did he name Asriel after Ralsei, or did he change Ralse's spelling to add the I later when it was nearly a match?

[ripe harbor]

weird guy with weird forbidden name techniques

[sour mesa]

"if you rearrange this guy's name you get the angel of death" idk

[ripe harbor]

why is ralsei named after the angel of death

[crimson badger]

obviously its because ralsei is the deltarune actually

[rain lotus]

no i am

[ripe harbor]

Theres also Tenna's whole thing where he mirrors Asgore in some ways (only other character that calls Toriel 'Tori', I think, at least in DR) and also deals with fear of irrelevance and being discarded

(which ironically causes him to self isolate by driving all his workers away with his desperation)

probably similar to Asgore doubling down on his 'investigation' at the expense of his personal life

[low surge]

(Also old man yaoi)

[ripe harbor]

true

[low surge]

Good catch

[ripe harbor]

Old Man Yaoi with rudy COULD fix Asgore, so we can conclude yaoi WOULD fix Tenna

[low surge]

[ripe harbor]

keep making those noses kiss

[low surge]

I do wonder though what that means for dear old dad if he keeps paralleling the very very super doomed people

[ripe harbor]

I'm kind of excited to see the flowers not because of the whole

human soul trait thing

but because a lot of the major darkners so far parallel important adult characters (like Queen to Noelle being similar to her implied issues with her mom)

so

I want to see if Asgore's surrogate family in the flowers he literally talks to instead of real people mirror Toriel or Kris or whoever

Asriel

seems fun

[ripe harbor]

he's so cooked

from either direction - I don't get the feeling he's aware of Kris' role in the conspiracy stuff

[low surge]

God please I can only handle feeling so bad for Asgore

Yeah

[ripe harbor]

him finding out would very easily put him into conflict with the Knight

and uhhhhh

[low surge]

I think he’s involved in it but I doubt he knows the full scope

[ripe harbor]

you can hope the Tenna parallels only go so far

[low surge]

Tunnel visioned as he is on getting things back to the way they used to be, I can’t imagine a scenario where Asgore would willingly endanger Kris

It’s why I personally am banking on no Asgore boss fight, at least not of his own free will

[ripe harbor]

also would be a good plot beat to raise the stakes I think

Tenna was kind of the first main-story unskippable Darkner getting injured

Asgore getting seriously injured even in the Light World, after important plot stuff goes down? I could see it

[low surge]

Yeah

[ripe harbor]

probably not dead, but maybe worse than Berdly's optional arm thing

[low surge]

Berdly is the only case we’ve really seen of actual physical harm transferring to the Light World

I guess Noelle too with the thorn

But no way that isn’t set up to not appear again

[ripe harbor]

^

and so far its completely missable

[low surge]

And of course parallels to Undertale with Asgore only surviving in true pacifist

[low surge]

Didn’t even know about it my first time because I always do pacifist so I freed Berdly

[ripe harbor]

Back when chapter 2 was released, that + the encounter with Spamton Neo changing the computer check text was stuff that got me 👀

because the implication for me, immediately, was like ok
burned arms and crashed computers are one thing

but whats the upper limit?

Fantastical things can happen in the dark worlds, and cause actual change in the Light World... thats big! thats scary!

The church kind of followed through on this, its completely trashed after your fight with the Titan

same with Tenna breaking ofc

[crimson badger]

this makes me feel that Asgore will Fall Down or near Fall Down after getting Swooned bad after attempting to be the cavalry for Kris

[strange cloud]

Toby writes in such a way that I can only assume he was once a teenage lesbian daughter of divorce

[ripe harbor]

its not a strictly one way relationship, is I guess what my takeaway was

[low surge]

I’m banking on Asgore v Knight

[ripe harbor]

it would go a long way to replenishing his critically low aura-supplies

[low surge]

I saw a neat art piece where like the knight impales Asgore as hes manic that he’s finally found Dess and like man that would go insane

[low surge]

Asgore nation lock in our goat is not yet washed

Buy Asgore stocks now folks

[ripe harbor]

Me when the knight is about the start the roaring, the whole party lies defeated, they're laughing as they raise their knife - and from off-screen, a lone voice:
And don't forget me, your eggs-police chief!

[low surge]

I’m telling you

[low surge]

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-12869046600151364058

“Get away from them you bitch” floors his truck into the knight

Trust the process

[ripe harbor]

Im interested to see how his arc goes emotionally

[low surge]

Absolutely

Asgore has always been one of my favorites

[ripe harbor]

because like: he is isolating himself, he refuses to let his case go, he thinks he can make it right if he just solves it

but he's right. He's one of the characters most trying to 'find her'

Is his desire to put his family back together by going back in the past any different from the idea that bringing Dess back will magically make everything good again?

Is it going to challenge Kris or Carol or whoevers choices?

[low surge]

So much of his character is rooted in the past, in events we never get to see. Which like sounds dumb because that’s all characters but for him the past is absolutely essential

[strange cloud]

Here’s my thing right, I feel like if he does find hard evidence of what happens to Dess, and does somehow convince Toriel

[low surge]

I do wonder

[strange cloud]

I feel like it’s key that the family remains broken

[ripe harbor]

ya

[low surge]

Police sacrifice of course could mean Undyne, but I mean Asgore was the police chief

Oh yeah even if he’s totally right about everything and Toriel at least forgives him they’re not getting back together

[ripe harbor]

(its for the same reason I don't think Dess, if she is the roaring knight, should go back to her old self completely, at least by the end of the game. It should stick with her if she even makes it out)

at least emotionally? She should be clearly affected by what happened: you can't just ignore and undo all that

[crimson badger]

irreversibly changed but capable of moving on is my happy ending headcanon

[strange cloud]

Unironically I do kinda feel like if there’s one way Dess to come back, it’ll be via the weird route. Don’t ask me why. It’s just the vibe right now

[ripe harbor]

bold but I respect it

[crimson badger]

or if she does go back she goes back and is teenage dess, age and memories from just before The Incident, stuck in a world she doesn't know, and with almost everyone having passed her by

[ripe harbor]

I could see the shadow crystals also giving her closure, but idk it that'll be happy ending or just 'she regains her identity and talks to Kris before dying as herself'

you know. like Mother 3.

[crimson badger]

there is no fix button for her

and like asriel

[strange cloud]

Oh yah even in my hypothetical “Dess comes back in the weird route” it should feel wrong and like something is bubbling you don’t quite know under the surface

[low surge]

Divorces don’t just come out of nowhere, and while I don’t remember if it’s ever described how Toriel and Asgore were in DR, if UT parallels apply they were basically perfect for each other. So whatever precipitated that falling out had to be bad and even if Toriel realizes “yeah Asgore wasn’t crazy he was just trying to help” noting is gonna undo that

[strange cloud]

If I were to give like, an actual reason

It’s because the weird route focuses so much on the idea of nostalgia and returning things to how they should be with Kris and Noelle, that it just kinda fits that idea that Dess is also “made how she should be”

Kris and Noelle have so much history that makes it kinda clear, they were always sorta, expected to get together you know?

The stuff about the Ferris wheel especially

[ripe harbor]

versus accepting the Knight as a person capable of new & worthwhile relationships? interesting

[strange cloud]

Ferris wheels mean romance in this game, and Kris and Noelle riding one as kids, especially one Noelle now looks back on as “forced” makes me feel like it was something that was always assumed was gonna happen eventually, if only for Dess’s disappearance

[ripe harbor]

I think theres something too in the way the Weird Route might be encouraging Noelle to be more like the Knight? If its the only way the bring Dess back (and wrongly) it could be following what Dess thinks would work (and then showing why it wouldn't, really)

[strange cloud]

And now, in the weird route, we’re continuing that relationship

By force

Ergo, the one thing that stopped them from that relationship, Dess’s disappearance, needs to be fixed first

That’s just the vibe though

[crimson badger]

its always the past, it feels so nice that its the past, haunting everyone, changing everyone

[low surge]

You’re cooking

Grade gourmet

[strange cloud]

[ripe harbor]

I like how this read hooks onto the constant struggle with identity and fate all the main cast has, too

the past as a weight that determines your life and future

already they're all dealing with issues based on what they or other people assume 'should be' true. Desire to turn back the clock plays right into that

trapped by the shadow of the past, trapped by the shadow of prophecy, trapped by the expectations and people currently in your life

[strange cloud]

Also, this is more tenuous, the weird route already reduces characters to stock RPG roles

And like, Dess kinda is a damsel in distress

She’s the one also causing distress

But she’s also very much a character who in an otherwise stock story, is in need of saving

Like some kinda, cursed sister in dragon blazers

[ripe harbor]

forced to dragon blaze,

born to blaze my shitty teenage weed stash with my garage band

😔

[crimson badger]

born to deltarune, forced to dragon blaze

gaster crashout when instead of deltarune we recreate one of its derivatives

[strange cloud]

Turns out Gaster just really hates dragon blazers

[crimson badger]

he didn't like the changes made to lord of the hammer

[ripe harbor]

internets down in the town because he felt like he had to respond to Alphys' shitty video game forum takes

but forgot to swap his username

[strange cloud]

Lol

[strange cloud]

But also yah I feel like that’s such a core aspect to the game in general but the weird route in specific

[crimson badger]

logged in as gaster, accidentally causes the prophecy, instead of astral projecting into library bird

[ripe harbor]

'derivatives' and reinterpretation are another big, big theme I think is slept on

[strange cloud]

The weird route is like, a rejection of change

[ripe harbor]

not just re-interpretation of stories, but the way pretty much every piece of fiction in fiction is derivative

[strange cloud]

It’s doing so much to do nothing at all

Everything needs to stay stagnant, and the same, and frozen

[ripe harbor]

but its 'yours'

exerting control on a narrative by reducing it to stock paint-by-numbers tropes

[crimson badger]

peeps seem to be more aware now that we're post anniversary stream era, can't help but feel DR will never be quite right to gaster because we're there making it ours either within the bounds, or breaking out of them, the original is still a derivation (which you can even argue on a meta point if you go through the memetic genealogy of "??? background psychogoop > fever dream > DR Proto > UT > DR > Us playing DR"), and any attempt to go back to it only creates a copy

to remember a memory is to necessarily overwrite it

[ripe harbor]

I'll even go further: I don't think the game even puts stock in the idea of 'originals'

its like everythings a copy, and then it doubles down on that not meaning it isn't 'real'?

I think about the Old Man a lot regarding that

How I didn't quite catch it at the time, but if Susie was trying to copy his letter in her version, he wrote it from the perspective of a bystander who knew Alvin's father but isn't him

How he never says he wrote Lord of the Hammer, how he never calls himself Gerson Boom, and the way the community at large treats him. Sometimes even inventing new special metaphysical categories for him!

[crimson badger]

there is an infinity of possibility literally trying and bubble out, you (the fiction), objectively, are not only not real, but one of infinity, but you still matter, because you matter to me, as do the other fictions that bubble out

[ripe harbor]

He's a copy. He's Gerson in wants, and how he acts, and what he knows: but he's a copy.

He's a Darkner, unambigiously.

[crimson badger]

I love the Old Man, the Knight clearly cherished him, and the Gerson that came out is not really the person that was there, but all the warm memories of the beloved teacher and writer + darkner memories

[ripe harbor]

but how do people develop themselves, anyway? Its all relationships and environment

[crimson badger]

so you're saying we put titans and titanspawn on pens until they stop being mean (only half joking)

[ripe harbor]

Memories = copies (or perceptions in general being 'copies' of the world) is someplace I could see it going

[ripe harbor]

this is hopefully what purifying them does lol

[crimson badger]

hopefully

[ripe harbor]

I think a titanspawn thats just not mean would probably be a Darkner

but thats just speculation as to what's going on with all that

Titanspawn being little dark blobs without identity, Darkners being 'shadows' that definitely have an identity (and a specific role in the world, being patterned off / reflecting real objects)

[crimson badger]

like darkness coalescing into the memory of the world and the things in it and becoming distinct from the ink and from each other, stabilized by a fountain, and if not a fountain of pure dark, tinted by the engendering lightner's will

[ripe harbor]

And fears, worries, trauma, intrusive thoughts & all the rest can sneak into someones perception of the world unnoticed, and shape their memories

[crimson badger]

yes YES exactly

all the memories, and all the impressions

[timber widget]

Re persistent harm to darkners, it's interesting how the attack on Tenna translated to his screen being smashed and antenna broken

Wonder what that will mean for the pumpkin decoration

...Okay chances are it's just smashed. Forgot the worst thing that happens to Jackenstein is he falls and that those black puffballs aren't chasing you there

genuinely I still think "the deal was made with tenna ch1" is the funniest possible theory. the knight is hovering ominously in the living room issuing threats to an inanimate tv. the TV is playing late night infomercials. kris is on the couch steadily working their way through the whole pie while occasionally offering a quick "yeah what they said" to try to back the knight up

[crimson badger]

went back to this because I had idle thoughts on snowgrave + the snowstorm +

[crimson badger]

this

feels like a false positive but also the idea of an unfathomably strong spell in a dark world causing something akin to a localized ice age for a short period

and the jumbling of future and past, and the possibility of the listed events being in opposite order of description

brain keeps getting snagged here but I can't see much coming from this (other than reinforcing Dark with Deep with Water + The Roaring)

it doesn't feel like even if it was something it'd have much information to reveal/contextualize and yet

[ripe harbor]

I think its probably describing broadly, and vaguely enough to not specifically say much, the Roaring

theres already very, very strong evidence for lots of ice coming up

[crimson badger]

yeah, its just that my brain feels snagged on it as if there was more but that's all I can resolve

[ripe harbor]

you can read into 'dinosaurs' as referring to Susie if you want. but theres nothing particularly pointing to that, besides the other two statements seeming to relate to the main plot (so Dinosaurs still 'being there' might as well)

besides lizard-people existing at all being why he probably says "wait nvm theres still dinosaurs."

I think the order of events / time being mixed up is probably connected to all the other things that get mixed up or rearranged

like Spamton quoting UNUSUED in his shop, the Forgotten Man is taking information from elsewhere

Chapter 5 there's just jarringly a photorealistic t-rex like in Mario Odyssey

saw someone drop their take that chapter 4 had the worst music the other day and my immediate thought was "but guardian tho"

SUCH a banger

[inland hare]

I think they should be put to death for badmouthing Sanctuary

[ripe harbor]

also true

they specifically said only third sanctuary was alright lol

but you need the build up! the later song's payoffs work because they were set up!

Guardian is better because you had Ever Higher, Crumbling Tower, and Sanctuary to cue up the dunk!

[sharp lodge]

absolutely! those songs build on each other in a way that's really cool!

[ripe harbor]

I'm also a big fan of the everpresent bell-ringing in chapter 4

Dark Sanctuary, Crumbling Tower (and I think Guardian?), Hammer of Justice- lots of ringing

which makes sense. Its a church lol.

but I like how they rachet up in intensity for the climactic songs, really feels like its do-or-die

I dont think I could pick worst chapter for music either btw

it'd be like picking 'worst gourmet meal' man idk. Its all tasty.

I might've said 3 right after playing it, but its grown on me a lot after I learned just how many ways Tenna's theme gets mixed around and re-used.

[crimson badger]

if you were forced to run the osts tournament style there'd be a bunch of "oh but THIS track is in there dude", been there when me and some other peeps had to trim down tracks to rec a friend with

[ripe harbor]

ya

like I'm not a huge fan of the start of Chapter 2, but

I can't give an unbiased opinion on the latter half

(which includes Pandora Palace! underrated song.)

I didn't like Black Knife at first

but after a couple hours versus the pre-nerf knight it starts to become an old friend

[low surge]

Anyone that dislikes Dark Sanctuary is not ensouled

Chapter 4 has some of the best music

Genuinely got goosebumps first time listening to dark sanctuary it’s so good man

power of yaoi....

(||theres a more serious discussion here about sidelining of women in fandom but my hot take is the work itself is partially to blame there. Theres like 3 female darkners with any relevance, period.||)

the girls come back in the main plot though, with the holidays + main 4

[ripe harbor]

funniest part of Suselle is that Noelle is honestly a little scarier than Susie.

maybe more than a little

and shes still the one that says "ehrm.... excheese me?". thats depth.

[strange cloud]

This is because the dark world is misogynistic

[ripe harbor]

#noticing how its Kris' dark world that only has one woman (Elnina) and she falls apart without a man 🤔

Kris Dreemurr Misogyny theory?!?

even the water spirits forced to cover up their bodies as if theres something wrong with them

[strange cloud]

Kris has uhhh…. Internalized misogyny…. Because of… trauma from Toriel?

[clear frost]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHGHGHGGCHGDBYBDGHCVGBHDGGH NOT AGAINNNNN

WHY MUST YAOI OVERTAKE

god i hate fandom misogyny i just want my yuri

[sour mesa]

do you want a historical explanation regarding the specific history of Ao3 and the retreat of m/m slash to fanfiction sites

[clear frost]

fuck it why not

[sour mesa]

m/m slash was subject to more scrutiny because penetration was a prominent "we gotta clamp down on that" for censorship, so dedicated fanfiction sites formed stronger m/m communities. femslash didn't draw fire in quite the same way, so they didn't get herded in as tightly

I'd also suggest that using Ao3 as a proxy for fandom as a whole is like, using the SCP wiki as a proxy for Weird Fiction writing communitiesin general. it's a major community for it but it still has its own specific site culture instead of being a perfect representative of the whole

[ripe harbor]

I wonder how much lower Ralsei / Susie is compared to her other ships

obviously it would be lower, but is it going to be moderately or extremely outpaced

[ripe harbor]

fingers crossed chapter 5 secret boss is a woman because once it gets to Seam / Gaster / That Weird Cat-Face-Thing the opportunity might be missed

[sour mesa]

i'm getting 115 works in Ralsei/Susie

[ripe harbor]

Asgore as ch. 5s main boss(?) means there won't be another female 'ruler' I think. Hard to imagine chapter 6 or whenever the shelter is as having one in the first place.

[ripe harbor]

thats pretty drastic yeah

I dont know if the minor canon support it gets helps or hinders

[sour mesa]

You don't see Dess as running a Dark World?

[ripe harbor]

depends on if shes the Knight

I don't see the Knight as really being able to talk tbh

whatever it was doing in chapter 4 almost-counted, I guess?

but more involved than that, not sure

[strange cloud]

I mean at the end of the day it’s the least popular of the main Susie ships

It’s gonna get massively outpaced no matter what

[ripe harbor]

yeah and I get why. Her others are good

I personally think its probably Ralseis best ship

but not Susies. Get that goat boy some more friends

[sour mesa]

huh i thought it would have susie/berdley beat

[ripe harbor]

thats not a real ship thats a demon walking among the righteous

thats evil

[strange cloud]

Ok the thing is I’ve never seen serious shipping of them

Art, fanfic, anything

I’ve only seen Susie berdly in the context of a joke

[ripe harbor]

I have unironically seen more serious Ralsei / Berdly shippers and I don't know if they have any dialogue or lines about each other

[zenith iron]

krispy chicken has legs but any other berdly ship actually just feels Wrong

[strange cloud]

I think berdly calls him Kris’s lackey once

[zenith iron]

(kris and berdly feels wrong but in a funny way)

[ripe harbor]

true and true

maybe its best for ralsei to not be in a relationship until he works on those self-esteem issues

[manic parrot]

something something "how can i love you when you don't love yourself"

[ripe harbor]

it would just be disastrous for him to only feel valuable in service to someone else

he needs to go down the plushie path & get more selfish, unironically

[low surge]

Spamton 10 seconds before Chara gets his ass:

[rain lotus]

why would chara make him do that

[low surge]

Why would chara make me shoot a big rainbow laser beam to spend just one more second with them

[crimson badger]

because I also wanted to spend just one more second with them

[inland hare]

I did it for the love of the game

You know

I always found it deeply ironic

That pretty much the only reason why you would do the genocide route

Is out of genuine love for the game

[restive comet]

I think it was more to have a bad ending with actual repercussions

[ripe harbor]

Ive seen discussion about whether putting really cool unique bossfights in geno undercuts its message

[rain lotus]

its message was dont kill people

[rain barn]

I think it contributes to the idea of "is it worth seeing everything in a game just because it's technically an option?"
pushing these characters to the edge just for a cool fight

[ripe harbor]

mmm I can see that yeah, I don't have a stance on it either way

there is an interesting thing I noticed for DR where a lot of the community doesn't seem to think Weird Route should be 'rewarded' in some way?

or that you should be 'punished' for doing it?

[sharp lodge]

i think it'll have consequences but they may not apply to us

but instead to kris

[ripe harbor]

yeah I dont think it needs to wag its finger at the player to still be horror

It can get you what you want and the message can still be 'this is horrific'.

I've just seen quite a few people act like they'll be mad if it leads to anything at all that you couldn't achieve better in the normal route

[inland hare]

I think the story only works if Weird Route indeed can achieve a kind of freedom that you can't in the normal route haha

whatever that may be

but as you certainly know

fate isn't actually a cage

[ripe harbor]

mhm

its just sometimes unpopular because it seems like its not uncommon for people to think getting something like that would be 'rewarding' a player for doing weird route

imo, it doesn't do much good to flatten media into moral judgements like that

[inland hare]

as jadis discourse tells you

very few people can comport with immutability of fate

and its relation to moral judgment

[ripe harbor]

it is fucked up, tbf

[inland hare]

indeed

[ripe harbor]

a lot of effort has been put into Deltarune of setting up the importance and unbreakability of the prophecy- I don't think it could ever be as simple as 'it actually was never real / already broken' and still be satisfying

which doesn't bode well for breaking it on the main path, especially when its underlined often that the weird route is deviating

[inland hare]

yeah

way I see it

normal route won't be able to break the prophecy

but may be able to allow for enough uncertainty that multiple interpretations are possible

and certainly the prophecy no longer becomes accurate past the events that it predicts

the prophecy predicted that the Black Knight would destroy Tenna

but didn't predict that others you saved would band together to save Tenna in turn after his destruction

prophecy leaves a lot of blank spaces that you can fill out if you are capable of seeing the negative spaces

weird route might be able to deviate completely from the prophecy

but at such a terrible cost that it might've been preferable to complete the prophecy

[ripe harbor]

I'm interested in how the prophecy is currently presented less as something that forces characters to act certain ways,

and more something that happens because all the people involved are themselves

Their actions are fated because they would make those choices

[inland hare]

i mean there are certain evidence that it does skew the odds in a certain way

[ripe harbor]

but I think you mentioend GoW Fates last time so you get the idea lol

[ripe harbor]

yeah, seams dialogue is very questionable there

[inland hare]

like Seam agrees to a card game over his shop

because he knows he's never going to lose (probably because he's fated to be the shopkeeper)

[ripe harbor]

at the same time, the game is 'fine' with you as the soul giving up, even though that breaks prophecy

I'm not sure how much it acts as insurance against bad endings for the party

or if its only describing what will happen that doesnt reach a bad end

[inland hare]

my guess

bad ending will be inevitable

at least for the first playthrough

unless you are the kind of weirdo who does weird route for the first playthrough hak hak hak

[ripe harbor]

about the choice bit I'm more talking about how Kris + the Knight + Tenna played out their prophecized roles in chapter 3

most of the decisions and reasons they did what they were all doing spring from understandable motivations-

its just collectively it leads to The Lord of Screens getting Cleaved

I guess what I'm saying its the prophecized actions aren't outside of the characters as an imposing force. Often they 'choose' their fate, even if they wouldn't and would never have chosen anything else.

meanwhile Seam is playing strip poker, so idk lmao

[strange cloud]

I really disagree that we’ll inevitably get a bad end, just because flat out I don’t think that’s how Toby writes

[inland hare]

Neutral ending the

Like in original Ut

[strange cloud]

Thing is neutral, isn’t actually a bad end really

It’s unsatisfying yah but objectively it’s just, alright

Obviously it depends on what you get

But like, undertale definitely pushes you towards pacifist on your first time

It’s not like how it’s being set up in Deltarune where it’s an inevitable tragedy which cannot be avoided

[inland hare]

Yeah I meant more neutral ending

An unsatisfying, open ended ending

[sharp lodge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaUAEIKPxPY

[ripe harbor]

I personally suspect a 'good' ending overall with unavoidable personal tragedy

at least with the current set-up, I'd buy the prophecy getting broken on normal but it would need to really work for it. Right now it seems like it will be 'true-but-vague'.

Does seem like at least part of the motivation for the weird route is going to be preventing something that players would not generally want to have happen, that occurs in other routes

and its definitely not uncommon in jrpgs for party member death

Its actually a mistranslation, its real name is Frien D. Gaster

like One Piece

(Its father, of course, being Wing D. Gaster)

[strange cloud]

Man, it kinda sucks when an analysis of Deltarune that I agree with for the most part becomes the new big analysis that analyzing the same thing from a different angle is now seen as ignoring that analysis

(Aka just because the weird route can be analyzed through the angle of the horror of heteronormativity doesn’t mean that’s the only thing you can talk about it or can’t disagree with that reading)

[timber widget]

Oof, yeah

[ripe harbor]

I like it as a read & think its got some very interesting things to say, though I wish I saw more combined reads that take the prophecy-breaking elements into account

not even in a 'oh people aren't talking about the real juicy stuff way'. I just want to see peoples thoughts on why the heteronormativity-horror path would also (seemingly) be the fate breaking one & if theres any sort of broader point that connects those two parts, becuase I don't feel super confident in my own thoughts there atm.

(though many of the takes I've seen with that read think the Weird Route is the 'original' prophecy, so I don't blame them - they don't think its a fate breaking path.)

[timber widget]

Quelle surprise, fiction can mean multiple things

[ripe harbor]

True, but I'd just want to personally connect it more directly to the motive or specific elements of the Weird Route

[timber widget]

(this was not aimed at you btw, rather the people insisting on that one reading on the route to the exclusion of others)

I could honestly see Gaster's whole situation similar to Thomas Zane's

a 'creative' who sought to use a weird psycho-reactive meta-fictional anomaly, who ends up ||writing a specific, powerful, final story as a hail-mary to keep the world from being subsumed by by nightmares after they specifically meet a bad end & get semi-erased.||

Something that stands out about how Tenna talks about Spamton in the manhole dungeon is that he directly quotes Spamton in this line.
Whether you believe Spamton was being genuine or deceiving Tenna here, telling him to wait gives the implication that he was going to come right back after he took the phone call.
"Then he suddenly said, 'I'm gonna answer the phone, so hang on a minute'?!"
Evil for putting this detail in

[low surge]

Hey scout why didn’t you tell me you had a YouTube channel

[ripe harbor]

I think the most -pilled take I have, sincerely, is that I think its possibly the Spooky Voice on the phone with Kris in chapter 4.

Carol with a voice changer or Mysterious Shadow Entity, call it

its either using the Giygas static sfx (that Gaster uses too) because its a good sound effect or because the caller is In Hell. & right now it could be either lol.

[timber widget]

I just don't see the phone voice being a darkner, with how well Kris' phone works to call home while in the dark

[ripe harbor]

thats actually an element that makes me suspect the call possibly being related to dark worlds

Kris phone everywhere in the dark worlds plays the 'garbage noise' smile.ogg file, which contextually seems to also be related to how Spamton got into contact with his mysterious phone benefactor

(at least its the most prominent phone-related noise that could be called 'Unintelligible Laughter', given that the file is literally an edited laugh sfx)

and theres this tertiary static thing that gets related to strange faces and speakers in the dark - Gaster has the Giygas static, Friend appears in 'Airwaves', the Shadow Mantle Holder & the Glaceir Sweepstakes foreshadowing appear only after choppy static

theres even a bit in Crumbling Tower where the music cuts out for a sec to make a channel changing noise

So I'm not sure their phone isnt working in the dark so much as picking up on something else, like maybe theres an interaction between wave transmission and the Dark or something (possibly why the internet in town is out?)

and from there I'd buy it as maybe a way for that something else to interact with the Light World from the Dark. maybe.

what gets me more than almost anything is how perfectly timed the phone call in Chapter 4 is. Right as they're about to leave, immediately into voice after one ring, without them answering?

Immediately phrased like a warning or a reminder?

[low surge]

Ceroba I love you but || your boss fight pmo so bad ||

[ripe harbor]

It could just be dramatic timing & Carol is doing some villainous aurafarming.... or Kris is being watched by something or someone. And its not like the Dark World they just made in their house didn't involve a suspicious unseen speaker who appears to have existed and interacted with multiple Dark Worlds, with specific knowledge of Kris

[ripe harbor]

is it hard?

[ripe harbor]

(I guess I could say 'Eram is phone' but that sounds somehow like even more of a shitpost than saying Friend is doing it.)

[low surge]

For someone who’s good at these games probably not, I just suck

[ripe harbor]

rip

[ripe harbor]

best counter-evidence for this not being the case is this, probably, followed by Carol showing up

so I don't know what to think. Carol with Voice Changer seems like it works well enough, yeah.

but I feel like I can't rule out something weirder. maybe like 20-30% chance theres some magical phone stuff going on.

Has anyone made a Noelle version of this

[ripe harbor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8iEdjD70Pw

I got this

[low surge]

I’d like to see Kris paint up a whole battleforce of Emperors Children their lazy ass ain’t gonna do any better

[strange cloud]

Nah they’d love warhammer

[low surge]

What faction would everyone play

Susie is Tyranids for sure

[sharp lodge]

i kinda think noelle gets into a chaos faction
not sure which one

[ripe harbor]

Berdly gets into one of the Tzeentch ones no question

[low surge]

Chaos Undivided/Black Legion imo

[strange cloud]

Kris plays whatever Berdly hates playing against the most that edition

[rain lotus]

kris doesn't even play they just think about playing

[strange cloud]

Honestly, with Noelle I feel liked she’d own like 10 armies lol

[delicate cave]

Khorne is death metal, Slaanesh is hot and emo, Nurgle would be maximum gross and sludge, Tzeentch fits her "just break the game" instincts a bit.

[delicate cave]

Using those mayor bucks

Kris's army is inevitably defined in reference to Asriel's extremely extra anime army. Either they get hand me downs, imitate Asriel, or pick something as different as possible

[ripe harbor]

Orks would make him mad

anything that relies on '''rng''' to win (unfair, basically cheating)

(this is different from Smartgenius Braingamers who use Tactical Probability though.)

Though I actually think Noelle would play Eldar or Tau

I feel like she would like the grosser and more horrific factions but not be brave enough to lean into it while playing

[low surge]

Tau feels Berdly coded

Smart, mecha inspired, smug sense of superiority

[ripe harbor]

slightly weebish

[low surge]

Noelle would do Eldar but want a forge world chaos demon army with the real nasty looking ones

Or night lords

[ripe harbor]

Night Lords feels Kris coded to me

I have seen darkness, witnessed it in my dreams. I am standing at the edge of a chasm. There is no escaping it, I know my fate. For it is the future and nothing can prevent it coming to pass. So I step off and welcome the dark

and they're very edgy

but I wonder if their feelings on humanity would push them away from Imperium stuff

(though its not like the Space Marines are human)

Their weird thoughts on being human clashes with their ability to ragebait berdly (he hates space marines because GW favors them and he thinks they’re basic)

[low surge]

Kris plays Leagues of Votann because they’re short

[low surge]

Really though I could see them playing Orks, I think they’d enjoy the sort of wild and free nature they have, plus they’d absolutely do some crazy scratch-bashing with random junk and create a horrible amalgam darkner as a result

[serene loom]

okay but consider the master play

showing up with a full and correct WHF army even though nobody else in town even plays

kris then spends six hours trying to ragebait berdly into playing anyway by insisting its the same thing

[low surge]

This had occurred to me, I’m glad I’m not alone

They would do that

“Just let me proxy it for Eldar bro”

[serene loom]

not even that

straight up "kris theyre different games!" "but its warhammer though theyre literally the same"

[low surge]

Everyone gets into fantasy because of this, Kris then comes with an Eldar army during fantasy day

While making their way through a maze of books, Kris and Susie are separated from the rest of the Fun Gang by a mysterious figure! Even more mysterious...it's the first other human Kris has come across in the Dark World! He seems to have his own ways of dealing with their environment...

Yaaay, since this won the last poll, the meeting Gerson scene is finally here! Gotta love the coolest old man!

This is a two-parter, the second part will be up tomorrow!

Panel 1 - A closeup on a full bookcase, shrouded in shadow.

Panel 2 - The bookcase scatters into flames, cinders and sparks as Susie blasts through it with a massive breath of fire from her mouth.

Panel 3 - A wide overhead shot of the whole fun gang: Kris, Ralsei, Susie, Noelle, Berdly, and Cattington. The group walks through a massive maze of bookshelves and tall stone pillars. Kris lays on Susie’s back as she takes...

Oh now this looks interesting

I’ll have to give these a read

[ripe harbor]

incredibly funny to me that Susie in this is some sort of demonic bloodbourne beastie but still has the personality of a cringe new-england teen

its also pretty funny how close this mirrors canon, kind of?

there is a mysterious shadow cult trying to breach darkness into the Light World, and suspicious pacts that Kris made in the past (possibly relating to their Soul and/or demons)

Chatroom

The fact that greenster kinda makes sense is starting to piss me off

I’m not supposed to take the “gaster will be green” theory seriously

[velvet olive]

what

[sharp lodge]

i haven't heard of this, what is it

[strange cloud]

Best resource is a Twitter thread so I can’t post it here

But essentially, it’s that a bunch of green shit is associated with Gaster

Just find this Twitter thread if you want more details

It’s a long one

[manic parrot]

i dunno seems pretty self-explanatory

sands is blue, paper is red

so green completes the triad

[low surge]

The snowman being the Room Between really convinced me I’m not lying

[rain lotus]

r slash arkham asylum tier

the theories aren't even theories anymore

[ripe harbor]

I'm kinda down with Greenster

[ripe harbor]

this one is actually probably closer than most tbh

the theory is "most specific mentions of green work to foreshadow or parallel Gaster, especially in contexts related to the skeletons or Deltarune" I think

so its putting forward that when you read this,

its a reference to Gaster

[rain lotus]

this is dodging the important fact that kris eats crayons like me :DDDD

[ripe harbor]

Kris Ate Gaster (He's Eggs) theory?!?!

[rain lotus]

green eggs

       and

[low surge]

https://tenor.com/view/gaster-disappear-gasterpeared-undertale-gif-23212822

[ripe harbor]

for my money this is the most blatant "I know its a parallel to Gaster I just can't prove it"

you know,

I havent read that thread so idk if they mention it

[ripe harbor]

but if you got the RGB triad it would fit into the CMYK one showing up elsewhere pretty consistently

maybe its like a dark world / light world sort of thing

He's Greenster because he taught his chud Darkner son how to smoke the marijuana cigarette

I'm ride-or-die that this screen is the Upstairs Mirror

and you know you got the

god the shelter is going to be so fucked up

I hope it straight up pulls some yume nikki visuals out

[low surge]

I’m a scardey little bitch but I would looooove if the shelter was just straight up as close to a horror game as possible

[sharp lodge]

https://www.rxddit.com/gallery/1oa64x4

idk why it's not embedding
anyway it's 3 cat gifs made to look like friend

[ripe harbor]

too fat in the fist one
so full of LOST CHILDREN yum!

EVIL and intimidating cat:

I still wonder if it means anything that the song that plays when you first encounter it is a math pun(?)

The digital root of a natural number is the single-digit value obtained by an iterative process of summing digits, on each iteration using the result from the previous iteration to compute a digit sum.

adding together digits in a way that ultimately removes information

and the second time this track plays is in a video game, with the association of 'bits' as small units of information

or its association with glitches and bugs in coding, from Noelle's blog & its (probable) connection to spamton, as well as literally appearing in the 'Junk Data' basement

lots of data corruption

[crimson badger]

doing something over and over again, trying to add or resolve information, until only a line of ones/a fully black sketch remains (you draw a tree over it).

[ripe harbor]

(actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the 'roots' stuff is a dual pun, where it means roots in plant & origin sense, and in a division sense.)

[ripe harbor]

yeah its weird!

I wonder if its the representation of all of this lost info, kind of collectively

or maybe just something like a glitch / bug in 'DELTARUNE' ie: Gaster's 'creation'

its got some connection to 'small bits of things' and 'glitched code' and 'things unwanted' (through the Oddcontroller and Spamton / PinkYellow stuff)

[low surge]

Honestly tho I hope we get something like this in the shelter itself that would be so fucked

[ripe harbor]

so....
collective small bits of unwanted information? Literally Noise, in the signal processing sense? Something unexpected, the error when you try and trace something and mess up?

its super connected to wavelengths, though sometimes only in cut content

(If people drawing it with a pointy tail can use cut graphics though so can I 😈)

[crimson badger]

makes me feel like the unused pointed tail was meant to be unused.

[crimson badger]

possible connection with roaring/gaster/DR being as a memory?

[ripe harbor]

unused spamton attack - hands make flowing wave patterns
Switch Airwaves minigame - background is literally textbook wave interference gif, you block mismatching waves of linked-circles
PC Airwaves minigame - Only shows up with the sides of the box get squiggly / you get enough points, needs to be making a wave.
Chapter 4 - only visible in profile as the soundwave passes over it

not even counting the 'garbage noise' connection, where its implied to speak garbled data you can just pick up ambiently with a phone - its in the static. Its in the 'noise'.

[ripe harbor]

I'm not sure what it would mean to be a memory, but theres definitely something going on with the save-load system

something something 'memories of events are always just copies of what actually happened' idk

but investing enough in copies makes them real(?)

maybe its like

something born from echoes, or the bits 'put out there' whenever creative work is made

https://youtu.be/AxcOdxsPjr0?si=Av-Dxo3smO-ivi2k&t=41

like this scene,

you can play a melody, but after its put out into the world and bounces around, the sound gets more & more distorted

eventually its unrecognizable. Information is lost, even though (maybe even because!) more has been added. It can't be retrieved, its drowned out.

but thats just vibes for me idk if I'm onto anything or if Toby Meant All That or whatever

Jevil 'repeating' his words, Spamton stealing quoting from elsewhere, Mantle / ERAM as 'the reflection' or nightmare 'mirrored', Old Man / Gerson being a copy of someone who was once alive....

theres something!

Where do forgotten things go?

[crimson badger]

gensou wrong game

might tie into the "darkners embody and personify the memory of the world when differentiating from Dark" angle, esp with how the main plot revolves around a past bursting out of the depths with/and all those left behind by it

like nothing being truly forgotten, or washed away, always lying there, until something sets it off and its strongest elements shoot back into the surface

[ripe harbor]

Falls into the ambient cosmic microwave radiation

Or maybe cosmic mike-rowave radiation?

[velvet olive]

you come across this room with the puzzle and manage to solve it like normal, puppeting around the shadow being
the shadow being proceeds to ❕

[ripe harbor]

I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of the Physics-Science inspiration for Dark Worlds & Gaster is based on Dark Matter / Energy

so I could see the static or snow bits pulling on CMB Radiation

[crimson badger]

that makes it extra funny that we're asserting that the metaphysical voice running the Deltarune experiment has to be Gaster even if we don't really know

we know something's going on behind the scenes that are behind the scenes, but we don't quite know what and we have tentative characters to explain this hole in the narrative

[ripe harbor]

everyone has different ideas about what it even means for Gaster to be involved in an experiment too lol

I've seen everything from "He's just recording a pre-existing prophecy" to "He literally made the Deltarune Universe"

but definitely the room_gaster Undertale thing is him, which is more what I mean with the physics element

The DR Darkness hasn't really been presented as scientifically, I think

"What if it could get Darker? Darker than Dark." versus "PHOTON READINGS NEGATIVE"

[sour mesa]

nobody's been really dealing with the science side of things at all iirc

[ripe harbor]

I think it'll for sure come back with the shelter

[sour mesa]

alphys is a teacher not the royal scientist, no labs yet

[sour mesa]

Very plausible

[crimson badger]

he really is the

character

[ripe harbor]

in some ways I think less than he used to be

I never was confident in him as the strange someone who met Jevil or especially Spamton, mostly for motive reasons

but even then I was like "Well theres not really anyone else, and Toby definitely knew that putting in the weird sound from room_gaster would make people think its Gaster, so if its anyone its probably Gaster?"

now the Knight, Carol & Co, and give you other options for randomly assigning plot elements to theories about mysterious figures

[crimson badger]

yeah

[ripe harbor]

I'm primed to be sympathetic towards him at least

being shattered across time and space seems like it wouldn't be fun

at the same time, strange boat-people giving cryptic forewarnings are usually pretty trustworthy about this sort of thing

[crimson badger]

yeah

Unrelated, but I am trying to confirm something because I can't find alt sources and I don't wanna set up decomp for just one thing
but part of me wants to look closer at the CORE from UT, mainly from an interpretation of "hardmode monsters appear [idealized, fantasized variants]" and "one of the overworld sprites is literally called darknesstotem" but it feels like a too good to be true sitch (most likely a false positive coming from proto DR ideas rather than "Gaster Literally Created a Dark World to Power the Underworld and Then Fell Into the Deep Dark")

[sour mesa]

oooh

[ripe harbor]

Darkness Totem is real but there is a brighter version just called totem, I think

[crimson badger]

accursed manual lighting

[ripe harbor]

there definitely is quite a few stuff you could tie to Deltarune though

both obvious

and maybe a touch more speculative

I've seen people point out those colors in the tubes as relating to Kris, Noelle, and Susie. Idk if I buy it.

🤷

[crimson badger]

what if deltarune is gaster making sure the CORE is stable

[ripe harbor]

I think the Final Froggits do have a Deltarune on them

hard to tell, theres some triangles and a three pattern

[crimson badger]

and the cross eyes

[sour mesa]

It reads like one to me yeah

[ripe harbor]

what the hell toby

this one is scary!

[sour mesa]

yoooo

[ripe harbor]

reminds me a bit of the Asriel concept art

definitely a bit of a different style from what the final game went with

[ripe harbor]

(this ones wings are purple-pink, cyan, green, and yellow)

that one I could believe is intentional lol

because he's literally turned into the Deltarune shape too

[crimson badger]

and with the toby trademark "I'll just put a face here and here and here :)"

[ripe harbor]

probably nothing and won't ever come up in DR as a concept

[crimson badger]

I know its the background but the spooky froggits look like they fade more into the background which does trigger my darkness/bumpinthedark receptors

[crimson badger]

https://tenor.com/view/deltarune-friend-jumpscare-image-friend-cat-gif-6339952604681273867

[sharp lodge]

i don't see what you mean

[sour mesa]

Above the door is a stylized angel emblem and the pillars have triangles on them

forming a Delta Rune

[ripe harbor]

yeah the deltarune is stylized over the door

obv in UT its also the symbol of the Kingdom, but

metatextually its probably the symbol of the Kingdom because of the game-idea-concept 'Deltarune'

I dont even think the pillars are needed

so thats a big-ass Deltarune in the big 'creation' that Gaster built

ofc the Deltarune also just shows up everywhere in both games

Undyne the Undying, Asriel's boss form, Mettaton (And Spamton) Neo,

which is funny because its kind of unwieldy as a symbol.

[ripe harbor]

following from this, the interference-pattern of white light creating really striking bands of pink and yellow might be relevant

especially because pink isn't a spectral color - theres no pink wavelength in the light spectrum

its also why you see the same colors in bubbles or oil, its caused by wave interference of light through the material

so idk maybe thats why its those colors specifically. I'm just saying shit.
