>>730804138yeah you wish buddy
>>730802330My Crant?
>>730804193Time will show who wins.
>>730804121>Final Boss has a secret final phase if you beat all the schizo bosses.Honestly this would be a good way to add difficulty to the game if Toby really sticks to the one ending thing.
>>730804121>That musicFUAAAAARK I NEED CHAPTER 7 NOW
>>730802785Toby could simply have renamed Ramb into Mike instead.>>730804138>>730804193>>730804289Imagine all our Mike arguments but happening on Xwitter, and several hours long video essays about it. This is what the fandom will turn into by chapter 7. I'll apologize to Tobert if he criticizes himself for his author role in the game, and/or pokes fun at theme essayist types
>>730804853>I'll apologize to Tobert if he criticizes himself for his author role in the gameI mean, that seems like it could be what he's going for so far with the whole "fell into his creation" thing
>>730804972I think that's a part of it but Gaster seems more like a critique of the type of player who break games to get what they want like how flowey was critiquing players who start doing challenge runs out of boredom
eggs aunt
>>730804972Yeah but I want Susie/Noelle/whoever to go full "you're our god a made everyone suffer for your amusement" at Gaster. I want something as mean as Chara was.
>>730805190I never felt Chara was a mean take on anything. It's just a take on the RPG protagonist as a pure gameplay vessel, just as Frisk is the RPG protagonist as an actual person>>730804972I think Gaster is just going to be Toby's role as the dude that wanted to do his dream game for a long time he couldn't. That's why Gaster "fell into his creation" and completing Deltarune is his main goal.
>>730804853>Toby could simply have renamed Ramb into Mike instead.I think Mike being a character that only does things offscreen is actually really good. It's a genuinely funny gag. The main problem is just the Mike room. He should have been kept as an off-screen guy that only shows his presence via his actions. >>730805098Gaster isn't a player, he's an author. He's supposed to be a fanfic writer and Deltarune is his Undertale fanfic.
>>730805547Gaster has intervened too much with the story to solely be the author.Like the player in weird route desperately looking for that new ending, Gaster has ruined lives to achieve his goal of a new future.I believe he's commentary on people that break games to complete them even at the cost of the game and the lives of the characters themselves, similar to flowey but that was born out of boredom while the weird route was done out of intrigue and the desire for answers. In a way its more perverted than genocide because the player is pushing the game past its limits just to get a "better ending" and is basically willing to rape the characters to do so, people who play genocide no longer care. People who do weird route will claim to care while doing terrible things, which is worse
how will the full version of Vs.Susie play out? And where will we hear it
Gaster is a professional Twitch streamer
>>730805945it'll just be the same thing but freedom motif

>>730806606>WHAT A FUCKING DARKNER
>>730806606>6606>666this is canon
>>730806019>>730806606
>>730805857I disagree. I don't necessarily think Gaster has "intervened" that much. I am almost certain that the entire prophecy and maybe the Deltarune world itself was made by him. I think the "new future" might not be a new ending per say but actually finishing Deltarune, which he failed when he was alive. Similar to how Gerson never could finish Lord of the Hammer and used Susie to give Alvin a letter so that he would finally continue his legacy.I don't know if Gaster has ruined lives itself or not, either. I don't know if Spamton or Jevil were connected to him. FRIEND could have been the one behind it. In fact, I feel like FRIEND, Eram or whatever made Mantle is the more obvious weird route player parallel as they literally guide you to it.
>>730807265>FRIEND could have been the one behind itNothing but garbage noise and the bunker having gaster noises means its gaster. If all these gaster hints ammounted to friend (who only showed up twice) then it'd be a huge let down narratively, i'm pretty sure friend is just the result of viewing darkners under a darker lens like that cutscene implied.
>>730807123>All those posts of Gaster watching us fight the Knight like a livestream, and going mental as we beat a scripted loss.I miss the 3 & 4 release threads already.
>>730807401The garbage noise is not necessarily a Gaster hint nowadays. It plays in all Dark Worlds. It playing in Entry 17 could be because Gaster made a Dark World. Even then, even if Gaster turned the schizos insane, I still won't say he "ruined" people's lives for his Deltarune as Jevil and Spamton aren't relevant to fulfilling his prophecy. Making them into schizos hasn't helped his goals.
i miss my vessel guys. I just want the characters to know it wasn't Kris who was screwing with them all...
>>730807762>Making them into schizos hasn't helped his goalsThey are a byproduct of the experiment. He got his results from them and left, he doesn't care about the lifeforms he toys with as long as he gets his desired data from them. He's the personification of a dataminer.It's the sort of detached engagement with media I can see toby resenting in comparison to the fun gang who engage with the dark worlds sincerely treating the experiences, good and bad, seriously.
>>730808014It will return in one more chapter. Chapter 6 will be its grand return.
>>730808086Your argument is getting too much into headcanon material. We don't know what Gaster got from Jevil and Spamton. Not even if it was "data" (and what data, even)?Gaster doesn't seem to be detached from Deltarune. He cheers you up when fighting the Knight and keeps talking about how much Deltarune grows and glows from your hope and power on twitter. He clearly is attached to it and to its completition. The main thing is that he doesn't seem to care at how Deltarune is going to be completed as he doesn't care for the weird route.If Gaster was like Flowey he should be happy about you doing the Weird Route as Flowey is happy for you doing genocide.
>>730798403Bad game Undertale should've been a free flash game.
Gaster doesn't turn people Schizo™, the Knight does. The Knight is the one creating the Fountains and therefore writing the "fiction" of the Dark World. The Knight wanted a schizo boss with a Shadow Crystal in its worlds, and so there was. Gaster definitely wants you to get Shadow Crystals though, hence why he helps you re-fight the Knight in Chapter 3.
>>730808536He doesnt really care for the other secret bosses, the game just skips repeated cutscenes without anyone saying anything
>>730808342>Your argument is getting too much into headcanon materialI suppose but I 100% believe that in the end, Gaster will be used to make some sort of statement about the player's behaviour in the same way Flowey was a commentary on predicting the mentality behind neutral-pacifist-genocide players.The specifics of it aren't clear but it'd be a waste not to do that in some form or other considering that flowey moment was the most genius thing about UT
>>730808536Shadow Crystals aren't necessarily what make you schizo. Jevil became insane and got his before the Knight arrived (made it even clearer in King's chapter 4 dialogue) and Spamton found his crystal in the NEO machine after the phone guy contacted him.The only one the Knight might have given a crystal to is Gerson.
>>730808704I feel like Gaster will be more of a statement of game devving and writing your own story. But we will have to wait for Chapter 7 to see who will be right.
>>730808882Shadow Crystals dont even do anything too. Like maybe they show you something maybe not, darkners would only see the light world anyway At best we know the Pure Crystal can be used to craft the Twisted Sword which reduces trance, if anything pushing you away from weird Gaster shit
>>730807401The "Gaster noises" are the background noise of ENTRY #17 (room_gaster). Notably, it is just the background noise, without Gaster's actual talk sounds speaking over it as in ENTRY #17.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpneLl7ohUsThis "music" is labelled "mus_smile" in Undertale (and the actual sound is the same sound clip used for Muffet's laugh, extremely slowed and distorted).FRIEND is at least tangentially related to Gaster, based on it being initially identified with "DEVICE_FRIEND" and "IMAGE_FRIEND," following the same naming scheme as objects found only in the intro and menus of the game. Its sprites in Chapter 3 are even outright redacted with blanks/underscores in their filename rather than a proper name.FRIEND could be a direct agent of Gaster in some way, or it could be another creature from "the depths." Being identified as "THE TAIL OF HELL" could support either interpretation, given Gaster's own 666 theming.FRIEND is associated with (creepy) smiles and laughter, something again at least somewhat associated with Gaster ("mus_smile," mysteryman's permanent smile, the Memoryheads' smile) and something more generally associated with villainous characters in Undertale (Flowey, Chara). It may also be worth noting that "to laugh" and "to smile" can be synonymous in Japanese (笑う, "warau," the reason Japanese people type "wwwww" as their version of "LOL"), something that Toby has used in at least one significant place ("How long did it take her to smile?")All of that is to say Gaster is 100% inescapably a major part of Deltarune already, he has been from the very start (pic related archived from Deltarune's website in December 2015), and if it turns out that FRIEND = ERAM and is the one who's been making the schizos (as strongly evidenced by its appearance with Spamton) it wouldn't diminish Gaster's importance whatsoever.
>>730809162Friend is a discarted Gaster concept from when the player would make a friend for the Vessel, thats the best thing I can possibly think by its name. It being related to Gaster makes me think it being on the world of Deltarune must be recent, as recent as the player. It being responsible for the incident with Kris and Dess years ago wouldnt make much sense with it being related to Gaster
I can't believe Tricky Tony ripped off & plagiarized this japanese short story.
>>730808536>The Knight is the one creating the Fountains and therefore writing the "fiction" of the Dark WorldI don't think Dark Worlds are that convenient. If they were, Kris wouldn't have had such a terrible time in Chapter 3 and Susie would have gotten what she wanted out of her Dark World in Chapter 4.>The Knight wanted a schizo boss with a Shadow Crystal in its worlds, and so there was.That doesn't make sense, because we know why Spamton went crazy and we know where his Shadow Crystal came from, and both of them were things outside of The Knight's control.Gerson also was not crazy, and simply refused to use the Shadow Crystal offered to him. He even helps you defeat the Titan summoned by The Knight at the end of the Chapter.
I dont trust what Ralsei said about that fake Gerson that thing was not just a statue it didnt act like any Darkner
>>730808704Flower's lecture failed for one reason. He implies that he went for Pacifist first run, and that only alter wanted to kill monsters. That was not the case with me. I far prefer the Neutral Routes over Pure Pacifism and wanted to kill the likes of Undyne and Mettaton and the Royal Guards the first chance I got.There was no "I don't like this" in playing the Neutral Route. the whole Mettaton storyline is about trying to find his weakness so you can actually harm him beneath that shell, something that is greatly dampened if you just spare him from the start.
>>730809752That whole battle was strange. That being was significantly stronger than a regular Darkner.And the music. I seriously thought I accidentally entered the Weird Route event for the chapter.
Games are supposed to be fun. I get fun from playing as a noble knight, gathering a party and taking turns attacking, going on epic quests and saving the world from a calamitous threat. That is my entertainment, that's why I play adventure games, why I play fantasy games, why I play role-playing games. You cannot compromise the entertainment for the sake of a lecture that I don't want to hear.
>>730809136I think they show you the truth. But darkners probably only see the Light World, yeah.
>>730810026Ralsei just fucking kills him hes only like that to the Titan and its spawn hes lying about that Gerson thats something else that wasnt just a common darkner
>>730809413It's just an inspiration, and more proof of a Seam and FRIEND connect (Cat with a LANTERN that makes his shadow a different person)https://youtu.be/cUermn1BMSg
>>730810279Seam just having the Shadow Mantle is odd, its not like a Royal treasure of the kingdom or anything they just had it
>>730809958Flowey didn't want to kill people because he is Asriel, the prince of monsterkind, and the monsters are his people. Not shit he would want to befriend them first.
>>730810031Oh bitch bitch bitch
>>730810405Yeah, and I don't. The human child that is not responsible for a single monster. There is nothing connecting Flowey and the human, at all. For this reason alone. The paralell does not make sense.
>>730810385Seam is an odd character in general but all theoryfags ignore them, despite being who we are giving crystals to.
>>730810469Subversion is poison. It is the targeted murder of entertainment and culture.
>>730810195I asusmoe it's some kind of darkner corruption or something like that
>>730810529Flowey's speech in genocide is directed at his best friend who literally died together with him, so they are indeed connected. There's a reason he doesn't talk like that with Frisk.
>>730809347>It being responsible for the incident with Kris and Dess years ago wouldnt make much sense with it being related to GasterBut it might explain why Gaster and the other schizos seem to have an interest in Kris and Noelle. And The Forgotten Man, who seems to be Deltarune's own counterpart to Gaster, is certainly close to Kris and plays some role here.It's possible that Gaster is motivated by some sense of responsibility for what's happened to Kris and the world of Deltarune, and by introducing us to the world (and putting us into Kris specifically, which I have to believe was always the plan) we can "CREATE A NEW FUTURE" and gain a better outcome for everyone. The Prophecy says that the worlds will be saved, but only at some great tragic cost to the Heroes. It may be that we are the only one with the power to avert that.Of course, the Weird Route calls this into question. If Gaster is already familiar with us from Undertale he should be aware of our capacity for cruelty, and it's hard to argue his motives are altruistic when he congratulates us on a job well done even after we torment Kris and Noelle.
>>730810727It doesn't work when talking about "the player" either. This may shock you, but I'm allowed to dislike the antagonists of the story. I never wanted to play Pacifist, ever. I hate the gameplay of pacifist. I hate the pacifist-exclusive sequences which lack gameplay or even a way to attack enemies. Its only saving grace is that is is 100% optional.
>>730810709Maybe something that eventually happens to all darkners? Or something I dont know theres nothing like it in the game and Ralsei wants to move along quickly when talking about it
>>730810937It's not literally talking about the player. It's just allegorical. But in-universe Flowey is just explaining his backstory to Chara.Also, put your name back on, CoL
>>730808882>Shadow Crystals aren't necessarily what make you schizo.Correct.>Jevil became insane and got his before the Knight arrivedNo, that's impossible. "Jevil" didn't exist until the Dark World was created by the Knight. The Knight "wrote" a character named Jevil based on a playing card and gave him the backstory of having gone insane by a "mysterious someone" a long time ago. >Spamton found his crystal in the NEO machine after the phone guy contacted him.Yes, and phone guy is the Knight. A lot of people have correctly pointed out that Spamton is meant to parallel Kris in that they are both being puppeted by external forces. Strings, hearts-on-chains, and now with Chapter 4 mysterious voices on phones. I'm saying that the voice on the phone controlling Kris AND Spamton is the same person, i.e. the Knight. My take is that people are misinterpreting how Dark Worlds work. Darkners do not exist until they are created by a Dark Fountain. Any sort of memory/backstory they have before the Dark Fountain is a fabrication "written" by the author, i.e. the person creating the Dark World. The Knight has been giving the schizos these backstories to create this narrative that they are some master manipulator pulling the strings.
>>730810761>we can "CREATE A NEW FUTURE" and gain a better outcome for everyone.I think Gaster's plan isn't to make a "new" ending but just complete the prophecy. After all, there's plenty of evidence of Gaster creating the prophecy but failing to fulfill it until we arrived. And it would fit with the Gerson parallels, who also failed to finish his story.
>>730811193Tell that to the fanbase more than willing to ruin the experiences of players who don't want a lecture.
which side anon
>>730811369Then he should have provided allies who can actually fulfill their duties instead of this coward, who breaks at the first sign of danger.
>>730811287>Jevil" didn't exist until the Dark World was created by the KnightDarkners somehow exist and somehow do stuff even before the fountains thats how Spamton and Jevil know each other
>>>/vg/go back
>>730811462All hail the holiday administration
>>730809623>If they were, Kris wouldn't have had such a terrible time in Chapter 3A Dark World that they were coerced into creating BY THE KNIGHT didn't give them a good time? Who would have thought?>and Susie would have gotten what she wanted out of her Dark World in Chapter 4.Susie was trying to recreate a Dark World created by someone else, and failed horribly because the "lighting of the mind" was different. She had no idea about the religion/prophecy and about Gerson IRL, unlike the Knight. She essentially made a remake with no SOVL.>Gerson also was not crazy, and simply refused to use the Shadow Crystal offered to him.Reviving Gerson is part of the Knight's plan. Not 100% sure how, but Alvin spells out that he put the hammer in his desk because he knew a Dark World would be made in the Church. Seems likely that Alvin is in on the Knight's plan.
>>730810195Maybe that's that happens with dustners when there's no personal connection to the dead individual. You don't get a person, you get a ghoul.
>>730811382The fanbase doesn't affect your enjoyment of a game. Toby already said our own interpretations are what matters.
>>730810654Kill yourself, oikofaggot
>>730811576Tell them that. Rein them in, those "player bad" nuts needed to be reined in 10 years ago, and you did nothing but defend them.
>>730811287Kris made a deal with Tenna before he made a fountain. Darkners still exist without the fountain.
>>730811547But thats not right either since he got destroyed and later on regular Gerson still showed up
>>730811463Sorry that Ralsei actually grew beyond the drone you wanted him to be.
>>730811469They were WRITTEN to have known each other. They were GIVEN the memories of each other by the creator of the Fountain.
>>730811617That's Crusader of Light. Wrong schizo.
>>730811789Gandalf was not a drone. He did what he needed to do, despite his fears. And he is rewarded for his courage.
>>730811795What are you talking about you just stab the ground to make a Dark World theres no process of having to come up with it before
>>730811629Put. Your. Trip. Back. On.Nigger.
>>730811629I didn't do shit, CoL. I also dislike player bad but this fandom is retarded and I just ignore them rather then having them live in my head rent free.
>>730811926why should i. you know who I am
>>730811681see>>730811795Tenna was given the memory of making a deal with Kris when Kris made the Fountain.
>>730811965Having a name means people can filter you at least.
>>730811287>No, that's impossible.Jevil explicitly went insane and was imprisoned before The Knight appeared. That is directly stated in Chapter 1.>"Jevil" didn't exist until the Dark World was created by the Knight.You have not been paying attention since Chapter 2. Darkners inherit the history of the objects they're created from.>>730811795>They were WRITTEN to have known each other. They were GIVEN the memories of each other by the creator of the Fountain.Did you miss the part of Chapter 3 where Ramb explains this to you?The objects that become Darkners had real history with each other. The Darkners in Chapter 3 were not made up by Kris, they're real objects in Kris's house whose personality and role in the Dark World is informed by Kris's history with them.Kris did not "write" Ramb to have seen Kris make the fountain, ask Kris about it and question their motives and intentions, Ramb did all of that on his own. Kris did not "write" Tenna to be constantly fucking annoying to Kris, bring up uncomfortable memories and blow Kris's cover to the player, Tenna did that on his own.
>>730811964Their most prominent talking heads love spouting it. They don't live rent free, but they're everywhere. It pairs well with the "I can't read" shite that I despise.No, actually, you have no business at all telling children that they're enjoying their game wrong. They tried to do it to me 10 years ago, and their tactics are being used on other people 10 years later.If I was Toby Fox I would purge these cretins from the fanbase completely. Deny any and all playershit so they would have nothing to cling to.
>>730812446You'll do nothing and like it.
>>730812887There is one thing I can do. Go on the internet, and make videos publicly denying all of their lies.I would love nothing more than to deny the playershit on camera.
>>730813005They cant read, do you really think they can hear?
>>730811529>Susie was trying to recreate a Dark World created by someone else, and failed horribly because the "lighting of the mind" was different. She had no idea about the religion/prophecy and about Gerson IRLBy your logic none of that shit should matter. She created the Dark World purely motivated by wanting to see Gerson again.If the Dark Worlds are just an imagined fiction of the creator where everything goes the way they want, then she should have gotten her wish. But they aren't, they're just another side of reality, and that underlying reality matters much more than "the will of the creator."
>>730813097They can read, despite what those parasites love screeching. They just say that to shut down criticism of the game.
>>730813169Been 8 years, gonna do it or not?
>>730812446Those people also flame others for enjoying drawing the characters hot and calling people pedophiles despite being pedos themselves (Shayy), but I am not going out there to argue why 2016 human designs were actually good. I will just enjoy my own content while avoiding and ignoring them. I like that Toby doesn't policy the fandom.
Don't feed the schizo, retards
Can he always see what's happening in the game?Why doesn't he react to THORNING Noelle?Does he know who the second voice is that discarded the vessel? Does he care? What the hell
reposting my schizo theory here for greater visibilityschizo theory I came up with.Dess isn't the Knight but she is the hand that pushes Kris away."Perfectly out of view" implies knowledge of the Player's POV, which if Dess was stuck in the code, she would be aware of it. "With you in the Dark." Implies that Dess, like Ralsei, is always there, always following the player and Kris. Dess lives outside the bounds of the playable areas, unable to enter but aware of what's going on. She's the spectator in a Quake match.
>>730813490Eh, there's not much going ITT for it to matter to much.
She weird on my route till I proceed
>>730811916Dark Worlds are a reflection of the person creating them, and they require intention. You can absolutely form a Dark World to your whim based on what you want. Hence why the Dark Worlds created by Kris and Susie were so different to the Worlds created by the Knight. The creation of Dark Worlds is meant to be an allegory for creating fiction, the creator of the Fountain is the creator of the World. The worlds did not exist until the creator made it so.>>730812338The OBJECTS exist and have a history. The DARKNERS are fictional characters come to life based on the objects. They are not the same thing. >The Darkners in Chapter 3 were not made up by Kris, they're real objects in Kris's house whose personality and role in the Dark World is informed by Kris's history with them. These are the same thing. Kris made up their personality even before making the Fountain, and when the Fountain was created Kris' ideas about the objects were imparted to their respective Darkners.>Kris did not "write" Ramb to have seen Kris make the fountain, ask Kris about it and question their motives and intentions, Ramb did all of that on his own.Kris wrote Ramb's personality when they played with the power strip, and then imparted that personality to Ramb when they created the Fountain. Kris may not have written the dialogue, but they created a character that WOULD do these things.>Kris did not "write" Tenna to be constantly fucking annoying to Kris, bring up uncomfortable memories and blow Kris's cover to the player, Tenna did that on his own.Actually, this sounds exactly like something Kris would write, it probably hits really close to home.>pic related
>>730813571He probably doesn't care because Deltarune is still going to be completed anyways. He probably likes seeing us struggle and overcome things with our determination. Both Vessel being discarded and Weird Route might not be part of the plan, but they are making things more interesting so he lets them happen.
>>730813629She Delta on my Rune 'til I Project
>>730813490Or what? is he going to ddos the site?
>>730813635I am starting to get what you mean. The main issue I see is darkners from other worlds being able to exist in fountains made by other people, even if for awhile. Like Roulxs and Lancer existing and being the same in Kris's fountain despite being Knight characters.
>>730813635I dont think Kris wanted to be reminded of the divorce of their parents
>>730813842CoL is a harmless schizo. He is just a autist that spams the same complaints
>>730813882I don’t think he intentionally made Tenna like that but subconsciously his feelings about the divorce seeped through into Tenna, some buried part of Kris is a screaming child wanting his family back
>>730810992I don't think it's something that happens to all darkners, if that was the case it would have affected other darkners, I think it has to do with the dark crystal
Backstory isn't generated when a Dark World is created. Most Darkners don't see an important difference between when a fountain exists or doesn't. It's just a handful of schizo-pilled Darkners like King and Spamton who recognize that controlling a dark fountain allows them to try to exert influence on Lightners.We know Kris didn't make the chapter 2 fountain, while Kris did make the chapter 3 fountain, and yet Tenna and Spamton share an agreed upon recollection of dark world history. When Noelle brought Queen's laptop over for one of her playdates with Kris, the two were in the same space and thus were able to meet each other. No dark world required. The lives of darkners go on without a dark world existing; what the dark world provides is the ability for Lightners and Darkners to directly interact on the same plane. Otherwise Lightners seem to be perceived perhaps more like gods, based on Seam's dialog. Tenna outright prefers to be a TV in the light world as long as people are watching him.
>>730814505That's why Tenna would rather stay with Mettaton than stay in Castle Town. Darkners exist even if they aren't under a fountain, the fountain just allows them to exist on the same plane as Lightners.
>>730810992They talk about how Darkners are made up of shapes in the dark. Outlets look like faces in the shadows, so in a dark world of make-believe, they're people with plug faces. Everything keeps their basic shapes but become what you imagine they are.In the deeper dark are the primal fears. Fear of death. Fear of dying. Susie knew Gerson was dead, and when she made her dark world, she was afraid he'd be dead. In the darker part of the world, there he was, the thing she feared.Ralsei doesn't like talking about it because those things are made by your fears. If he creates fears in Kris and Susie, he'll create those things as well. They won't just be strange human shapes, the fears will have names and forms like Darkners do. It's safer not to talk about it, not to think about it.
>>730813871I mean the Darkners still "exist" in a sense, I'm just fighting back against the idea that they existed BEFORE their Dark Fountains were created. What Darkners do after they are created is a different matter entirely.>>730813882It's the "lighting of the mind" again. I think there are parts of the Dark World that you can really, truly manipulate if you focus on it enough, and there are some parts that are based on your subconscious. Making a Dark World is like asking ChatGPT to write your story: you can give it ideas and structure, and steer it in certain directions, but ultimately you're going to have to put your faith in a black box to fill in the gaps.
>>730813635>You can absolutely form a Dark World to your whim based on what you wantThen why didn't that happen with Susie? All she could get was an alternate take on the same Dark World, without the one thing she actually wanted in it.How does Susie's Dark World make sense at all in your framework? She had no familiarity with anything in the Church, how could she have intended anything for the new Darkners she created? Why do the old Darkners turn to stone in her world, isn't she already familiar with them, wouldn't she assume they should be there and continue the role that they already had?>Hence why the Dark Worlds created by Kris and Susie were so different to the Worlds created by the Knight.Kris's Dark World is identical to the worlds created by The Knight. There's nothing strange about it compared to Susie's. They share the same environment and even some of the same Darkners.(This is because Kris and The Knight are willing collaborators with a similar mindset, and The Knight is in fact December Holiday, "that girl" who played make-believe with Kris and created the imaginary characters that would become these Darkners years ago)>Kris may not have written the dialogue, but they created a character that WOULD do these things.If what the creator wants their creation to do doesn't matter then you've abandoned your argument.It is the history of these objects that matter.The Fire Extinguisher in the Church knows the code to the door because it was written on it, and has a sense that it is "the most important" based on its history in the Lightners' church services.This is information that Susie has zero fucking knowledge of. Susie did not make it up or imagine it to be the case, when she examined the fire extinguisher she imagined some dumb bullshit with it shooting whipped cream. The Darkner gained that personality and volunteered that information on the basis of the object's own experience.
>>730814976That fits with Titans and spawns being fear of the dark itself. Maybe there's more evil fucked up darkners created out of fears.
>>730815091>(This is because Kris and The Knight are willing collaborators with a similar mindset, and The Knight is in fact December Holiday, "that girl" who played make-believe with Kris and created the imaginary characters that would become these Darkners years ago)And she has Kris's soul and the same WILL of his btw
>>730815173>>730814976Shelter dark world could be so kino. Basically all the adults + Monster Teen & Kris are explicitly afraid of it.
>>730815290It's the sequel to True Lab. The Shelter Darkners will look terrifying, but they all actually care deeply about protecting Lightners and keeping them safe, because that's what their actual purpose is, it being a shelter.
Do I autisticly obsess over how the knight glitches out when getting hurt like the titan spawn and titan too much?
it's crazy to think the Gaster Blaster is officially in Smash Brothers
>>730815290It'll probably be similar to the Underground Lab from Undertale. It's a dark, unfamiliar space full of who knows what. Ghosts, rabid animals, spiders, jagged metal, access tunnels leading to the sewers, the bodies of those kids that guy in that weird costume killed. It'll have that creepy vibe, probably.
>>730815471Sans is just too popular. Everything associated with him is mainstream. Back in 2016 every character that was part of his circle was a sexyman, even if they were minor NPCs like Grillby's.
>>730815290The Shelter is the RUINS mirror, so I assume all the roots shit is going to come full circle there, as the RUINS had a bunch of leaves around and a big ass dead tree in front of Toriel’s house.
>>730815257>Kris Knighters are still mindbroken
>>730815471Feels wrong, Gaster adjacent objects being acknowledged like that
>>730812887>pic
>>730798403Well, there's an amalgam knight theory here>If the knight was a holiday, it would not be referred to as an it. An amalgam would. While the knight is referred to with they/them pronouns sometimes, Ralsei, the person most knowledgeable on the prophecy, referring to them as an it is real telling.>>Amalgams are shown to be able to shapeshift. No of the other Knight candidates have the correct build or ability to shapeshift.>They are created using determination, the substance that enables the creation of darkworlds. The shadow crystals being pretty much confirmed to be containers of determination only further solidifies the connection the knight has to determination and thus being an amalgam.>It would explain why the knight is kept secret, Carol running unethical experiments and creating abominations like these would be a major cause for concern>The knight is animalistic while also clearly being sapient, traits amalgams have.>This would explain why the knight has different voices. A shrill scream, a Noelle like yelp, and a laugh that sounds like friend. Amalgams have weird voices.>Amalgams are really strong so it's no wonder why it was able to carry Undyne so easily.>The knight has an affinity towards Kris because it views them as a comrade in arms against Carol's oppressive hand.>A lightner being created and treated as an object (darkner) with no freedom or agency of its own is the perfect set up for an emotional ending. An ending with Susie forgiving the knight and allowing it to live with her in castle town.The knight is capturing people to take their powers. It is also opening dark fountains to empower the soul. Together, the empowered soul and empowered knight will go into the depths and find Dess.
>>730815945I shall cope, I shall hope, and I shall await vindication. If not that, then Kris pawn promotion theory baybe!
>>730804121Phase's theme is the Freedom Theme.
>>730815984Gaster became a Tumblr sexyman simply because he was associated with Sans. There's no way Toby could have avoided putting Sans most iconic weapon in his costume.
>>730815461Dess being turned into something like a Titan after being lost in the Dark for years makes senseAnd it would also make sense if (You)r light was the only power that could banish the darkness and save her>BECAUSE I'M WITH YOU IN THE DARK>WITH YOUR HEART AS MY MARK>WHICH SHALL GUIDE YOU THE WAY
>>730815461That's because it's Dess's soulless body who became a darkner in the shelter and saw past the dark with Kris's soul.
>>730815091>All she could get was an alternate take on the same Dark World, without the one thing she actually wanted in it.What she wanted was that same Dark World and same Gerson, but she could not get it because she has a completely different perspective on these things from the Knight. I said you CAN manipulate Dark Worlds, not that it's foolproof. >She had no familiarity with anything in the Church, how could she have intended anything for the new Darkners she created?Notice how in the first Dark World, the Darkner enemies are based around the religion? Spirits, eucharist wafers, bibles, incense burners, etc. What are the Darkner enemies in Susie's Dark World?>WingladeA quill/pen. She just got finished writing the message from Gerson to Alvin.>Organikk>WicabelMusic-based. The only thing she knows about the religion relates to the music, i.e. the Church choir. She didn't pay attention at all to the rest of the Church service.>Sound of JusticeThe facsimile of Gerson she tried to recreate. The Darkners in her world actually make perfect sense.>Kris's Dark World is identical to the worlds created by The Knight.Are you on fucking crack? Kris' Dark World is BY FAR the most different. You spend most of it in one place playing video games whereas the other three chapters have you going on a huge trek through mysterious lands. >If what the creator wants their creation to do doesn't matter then you've abandoned your argument.Again, the subconscious plays a part in it. And I think that some Lightners are "better" at creating Dark Worlds than others (like how some people are better writers.)>The Fire Extinguisher in the Church knows the code to the door because it was written on it>This is information that Susie has zero fucking knowledge of.The Knight created the Fire Extinguisher Darkner, not Susie. If the Knight knew the code was there then this knowledge was imparted to the Darkner, and therefore was able to tell Susie in her Dark World.
I think The Knight can move through the Dark Worlds through the ROOTS that run underneath the town. A dark fountain was created underneath a tree. Not just any tree. I suspect hometown's trees are something like pic rel.
>>730814505>Backstory isn't generated when a Dark World is createdexcept that contradicts everything in chapter 4 retard
>>730817204That's why the shelter is the roots place. It's the underground of the town.
>>730817023>implying Kris lived without xir soul for several years with out suffering from eating shit and dying syndrome
>>730817436The Knight and Kris losing his SOUL is a recent thing. Otherwise the Dess darkner was stuck in the shelter Dark World.
>>730814058>his familyKris isn't that delusional.
What if Gaster really does look like the Mystery Man with his cracked egg headWhat if the Knight really is Dess, and Dess really looks how she's depicted in all of the fanartWhat if FRIEND really is a Cheshire cat with a pink eye and a yellow eyeWhat if Rudy really does die and it causes Noelle to snap and cause The RoaringToby wouldn't be such a level of predictable where his entire game's plot and characters have been completely deciphered years in advance to all of the Chapters being out, right? He will pull out a Genius Creatividad and be tricky and really get us all, right...?
>>730817689Idk basically https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uwhQNYv8aEk&pp=ygUSc2lyZSBzcXVhd2tzIGFmdG9uAlso the fuck is the deal with Asgore talking Balux an old friend and having a black shard
>>730818208Asgore getting a black shard is also a recent thing, which is why he believes people will believe him now.
So what's the ETA on ch5? It's my understanding that the next chapter is basically done, with just translation and bug testing left, no?
>>730817204>>730817412I'm with you guys, Dark Worlds are definitely connected via something underground. I think we've been there already, too.
>>730817023Do you actually PREFER this theory over it being just Dess or...?
>>730818554I think this theory IS just Dess, but focused on what has been established rather than fanon "being in darkness makes you warped". Or do you think Chapter 4 Gerson isn't Gerson?
>>730818554Not op but personally no. I'm banking the knight being a titan spawn that took dess' soul
>>730818508Since the 10th anniversary newsletter, it's been projected to come out in the second half of this year. Per the most recent newsletter last month:>Localization has begun; testing of the chapter itself will begin once that's in its final stages.>This month, they'll consider examining how Chapter 5 will operate on consoles.>All rooms in the chapter are "more or less" done, minus background polish.>Almost all cutscenes are done, and less than 10 need visual polish.>Most battles are done; the ones that aren't are functioning from start to finish, but just need pacing and bullet pattern adjustment.>Still no definite release date, but Toby says it will take "several months".
>>730817204remember toby was an environmental science major
>>730818742doesn't ralsei say that ch. 4 gerson is a darkner based on a very specific kind of darkness
>>730818186Undertale was pretty predictable and most people guessed the relationship between Toriel and Asgore before the game came out. That just means Toby is good at foreshadowing. We are halfway through Deltarune, we should be able to at least predict the vague plot beats.
>>730818960Yeah, and that was the shelter for "Dess". But then she can exist in the Light World due to Kris's soul
If you believe in time loop bullshit the knight can be Kris the skeleton
Evil smiley faces have been a disaster for Undertale discourse
>>730819273The beginning of Undertale has a flower with an evil smiley face
>>730819371And?
>>730819273>Every character with a smiley face BREAKS the fandom (Chara, Gaster, FRIEND)Checks out.
>>730819175time loop makes no sense. I think the simplest answer is Carol, Kris, the Knight and Asgore have the same amount of information as Ralsei about the prophecy. Of the three heroes Kris and Susie are the only ones who are speculated to be stand ins. I.e our vessel could just as easily take Kris's place and Noelle could just as easily take Susie's. Judging by Susie's reaction to the prophecy my guess is it predicts her death. Going back to the Roaring gang they probably want to prevent the girl's death so what better way to stop that than just toss someone in, Susie, who most people don't care about. I also think everyone in the Roaring conspiracy all have their own agendas. I'm guessing Carol wants to get Dess back and protect Noelle unless she's just evil. Kris wants the same things as Carol. Asgore wants to prove he isn't crazy to Toriel and the town. the Roaring Knight if we go by the simplest answer of them being Dess who's just being possessed by darkness and the other three are just going along with the plan until they can save her it all makes sense.
>>730800237>Frisk with blue highlights instead of yellow.Huh, it kinda fits.
>>730819273:D
>>730819970I was joking mainly but the problem I have with dessknight is that 1. She needs to be found and 2. How fuckjng amorphous the knight is. Does it make the most sense wirh the evidence we have? Yes but the same time there's manly little problems with it that add up and why bullshit like the "knight is dess' dead body with Kris's soul filled to the brim with determination while friend is puppeting it"
>>730820697>1. She needs to be foundI think that can be solved if you assume the current dess is in a similar state of flowey. Not literally, but morso they're only technically Dess and have been warped or corrupted in some way that's barely recognisable.
>>730819994Shame this artist deleted all her socials so her art is LOST MEDIA now.
>>730820697i agree with you but I think the simplest answer is Dess's soul is all screwed up because of some shenanigans then Kris gave her body his soul to do something and someway, somehow Kris yoinked our soul as opposed to being soulless. the player's soul specifically has the power of purification so I'm guessing all this bullshit is going on so we can purify Dess's. Maybe Kris thinks the player wouldn't help them. Who knows. Toby needs to give some definitive answers for stuff in chapter 5.
>>730819970Darkness being able to possess people is complete headcanon so far. There's nothing in the game that indicates it.
Post doe
>>730819665It makes you look stupid, kill yourself.
>>730818742>focused on what has been establishedMonsters don't leave behind soulless bodies, they still turn to dust when they die, and their SOUL dies with them.The whole convention of a monster's dust ensouling an object with their "essence" and enabling them to be revived through that is only possible because their SOUL shatters and turns to dust with their body.>* ... When monsters die, their dust will be spread over what they loved. An object that symbolizes their existence. That object will be buried... And in such a way, their soul be able to rest, within that object, and the earth.The idea that Dess is a monster who left behind a corpse, which became a Darkner and then absorbed a human SOUL is completely unprecedented and more abnormal than anything in Undertale or Deltarune's established canon. We have absolutely no idea if such a thing is possible or what the result would be.Dess being warped by the darkness into a Titan-like monstrosity would also be an anomaly, but there is evidence to support it. The Titan Spawn "Appear in places of deep dark." They are compared to glass (* It sputtered in a voice like crushed glass.) and have unusual sensory battle text similar to The Knight fight (* You hear your heart beating in your ears.) They are all-black with a white outline, take different shapes, and "glitch out" when struck, all qualities shared with The Knight.The Knight's weapon, which has the same appearance and properties as their body/armor, is made of the "Black Shard," described as small shards of extremely hard black glass.
>>730818517>digital roots>bit rootsThe underground of the town is definitely the actual ROOTS.
>>730821551>Monsters don't leave behind soulless bodies, they still turn to dust when they die, and their SOUL dies with them.My idea is that something physically ripped Dess's soul away from her body without killing her. Something supernatural. That's why she's the "lost girl" and the voice in the code. Her body and soul are different, just like how Kris and his SOUL are different. It's headcanon and speculation, but it's just as much as your second paragraph about darkness warping Dess, somehow. Except mine has Undertale as an example of it happening in the Asriel fight. But neither of us can prove who is right until Chapter 5.
>>730819273We LOVE our demon children here anon
>>730821551There's a microscopic president for monster souls remaining after death for a short time in undertale but that's only for boss monsters
>>730821471yeah I know I'm just speculating cause the only thing other thing that makes sense if that knight whoever it is is just evil.
How do I find a Deltarune gf
>>730821868What was her major malfunction
>>730821868I can confirm this. We love humans here.
>>730821276Oof
>>730822078Couldn't let go of her hatred and thus made a retarded plan for revenge. Frisky saved her so it's all okay.
>>730821551I don't even think there's a president for a lightener without a soul being able to turn into a darker since the soul was outside of his body to ass blast the titan and he was fine during the whole thing. Or maybe I'm just being retarded
>>730822219Phone voice says in Japanese that Kris can't enter Dark World without SOUL. The SOUL is still connected to Kris during that scene.
>>730819058but why not just count out the middle man and make it just dess
>>730822139Thankfully I downloaded most of the solo Frisk and Chara's of the artist. Still sucks, though.
>>730822219But that might mean Kris could have not just us but his soul too which throws the bone into the knight being dess' ran over corpse with kris' soul if he still has it.
>>730821572My theory is that the Digital Roots of Chapter 2 is a literal part of the larger ROOTS under the town. Making a Dark Fountain is essentially poking a hole in the floor to let the Darkness seep out, and where is the Digital Roots area located? At Queen's Mansion, where the Dark Fountain is. You would think the Mansion would be at the same "elevation" as the computer lab's floor, right? So how does it have a basement? I think that the basement actually goes deeper than the floor, through the floor hole made by the Knight, and into the ROOTS proper. Then the Knight could simply fly through the ROOTS to any other Dark Fountains and use that to get around the town.
>>730818869i did not know this fascinatin
>>730822267Oh ok I'm just retarded then
>>730822360Mainly because I think it's too straight forward, so there must be a twist. Just like how Flowey is Asriel’s dust laid on top of a flower that got determination injected into and not just Asriel transmutated into a flower.
>>730822385 Honestly that explains how Ralsei travels around as well
>>730821248i mean it fucking has to be that because otherwise why does toby refuse to translate "lost girl"
>>730798403I KNOW EXACTLY what will hapen based on the story so far>Susie actually forces Kris onto ferris wheel, killing Suselle>Noelle finally realise she's cucked (all those past cuck moments were forshadowing)>She's the one burning her Holiday mansion garden, while the story will try to frame Asgore after he also gets jealous of SansBasically Suselle time is up in chapter 5 and normal route is confirmed for krusie
Undyne was BETRAYED and TRAPPED in the bunker for TEN THOUSAND YEARS
>>730822802>yes I am a cuck I like when people fuck on Susie>so I became a schizo boss BITCH I'm the villainnnnnNigga Heil Gaster
>>730822802this but pivot to kriselle
>>730822971Buts Susie’s to dense to realize either kris or Noelle wanted to fuck her so who would be the seething cuck in that case?
>>730822971Weird route will become one giant Kriselle route with some grimdark ending. But they will end up romantic at least. I don't think Suselle was ever developed to become a real thing in any route.
>>730810620People immediately memory hole the previous chapters once the new ones come out.
>>730822385It would explain why entry number 17 is also in the holiday basement. It's the darkness underground
>>730823046kris(initially)
>>730823046Susie is coping that she's actually into apple shampoo. I think she will figure it out after another round of battle bonding, that's she's actually crushing on Kris
>>730823089it's kind of hard not to considering how long the wait is.im still thinking about that strange instance where Susie fights Lancer solo in Ch.1.How the SOUL moves to Susie's battle
>>730822971there is no kriselle. It's YOU doing the weird route and you want Noelle...for something.
Chapter 5 will end with the Roaring and chapter 6 will skip ahead 11 years.
>pink and flower garden will burn in the flames of jealousy>eram(heavily connected to kris) is called "Burning Eyes" Kris will be the cuck.
>>730823201This already happens in Chapter 4, twice. It's because we are seeing Susie’s PoV
>>730822553>>730823093Exactly. The Darkness is underground and always has been, making a Dark Fountain is simply bringing it to the surface.

>>730824332
>>730823676>>730824459>>730824461Proceed.
>>730824470I do wonder about Kriselle posters and if they realise the game is doing everything to point out it’s not gonna happen
>>730823676the girl reading this
>>730824548And then. When all hope is lost for the tale.The final tragedy unveils.To save the worlds, there is only one wayThe cage must fuck away the gayOnly then, will the worlds be saved.
>>730824559Like what? Suselle being the main focus? You do realize that there's gonna be Suselle complications in the next chapter, right.
>>730824461>>730824459Oh no?!
>>730824559I'm a Kriselle faggot since 2021 and I"ve been trying to warn everyone it's not happening. (Weird Kris isn't Kris, it's (You))
>>730824559Get fucked. I will make it happen if that dog doesn't.
>>730824706(You) didn't ask for this
>>730824725This guy gets it
>>730824706extremly based
>>730824459>>730824461>implying i want to fuck the delta-teens
>>730824923yeah I'm gonna get Carol for myself while I help my nigga kris get sandwiched
>>730824923>it's always daughters only
>>730825190That's what's known as a two-for-one special
>>730824923your daughter is kind of hot...
>>730824559Both Kriselle and Krusiefags are delusional and we like them for it.
>>730822365Was the artists Japanese? They always tend to nuke they're stuff for some reason.
>>730824923This. Thankfully my waifus know and like (me)
>>730825352I am not delusional. You just don't have the vision.
>>730825393Bingo.
>>730825687Figures.
I want to go back in time and use my Vessel to groom Kris when she was a little girl.
>>730825562CoL, you are the biggest example of what I said and the fact shipfags have a warped view of Deltarune.
>>730825770It's a shame because her art is genuinely good and artistic and I remember it being posted a lot during the Chapter 1 era.
>>730825937Dess called dibs already, sorry.
>>730823676Dess
I like the idea of Rudy knight but I feel like the bat-turning-into-sword sprite is too obvious to ignore.
>>730827539What stops Rudy from playing baseball?
>>730825937>Fighting against Dess, Carol, Asriel and several other Hometown citizens Good luck.
My crackpot theory, since everyone has one, is that FRIEND was made my Gaster to be the original prince from the dark and was supposed to help and guide the player along the game.Maybe FRIEND got a good whiff of FREEDOM and went rogue forcing Gaster to make Ralsei as a replacement.We see Ralsei got extatic when you let him play and chose for himself in chapter 3 so maybe FREEDOM is like crack cocaine to darkners.
>>730826995Then we'll just have a groomer battle, duh.>>730827687Nah, I'd win.
>>730827453At least her and Kris can bond over their shared hatred
>>730827686the fact that that's never been established
>>730827804>Nah, I'd win.I'm pretty sure a Deer can seriously maim a person.
>>730827836I wish we got a protagonist that actually liked the soul...
>>730827836christ that pic is angsty
>>730827836Why are they like this?
>>730828352Edgy teenager that doesn't realize he needs a strong father figure in his life to make good choices.
>>730827968Would it suddenly be ok if he had a throwaway line in ch5 about playing baseball in college?
>>730828337Kris loves his soul. It's the only thing that keep the monster inside him at bay.
>>730828749it *might* work
>>730828749>Played college ball, you know.>Could have gone pro if I didn't go to college.
>>730826652It's always shame. Looking this art, i imagined the amount cool stuff the artist could of drawn for chapters 3 and 4. Sucks to know i'll never see that.
If you rearrange the letters in GERSON, you get NEGORS
>>730829396suddenly ralsei's actions towards the fake gerson make sense
>>730828337Kris isn't enough of a cat-not-cat for that.
>>730798403>I like to make fanfic>I like Deltraune>For the life of me I can't think of a single good concept for a Deltarune fic.Honestly my main gripe is that Kris is by far the most interesting character but we just don't even know a bit of his personality.How can I make him flirt with Berdly if the only thing I've seen about him is that he really fucking hates me?
>>730827968>>730828749I've seen some speculation from the fandom that Rudy used to be rich and famous, like an ex-movie star or athlete. Would be pretty interesting if Rudy paid for that mansion with a career in pro baseball.
>>730829119Yeah, but she didn't upload since 2021 so it wasn't going to happen, deletion or not. Still a shame.
>>730829679Make it so that the SOUL is forcing Kris to flirt with Berdly, but then Kris gets genuinely into it.
>>730829679hes also a prankster, hates anime, and hates himself
>>730821551WormwoodCHADs keep winning
>remember posting ´´7 YEARS´´ posts back when ch1 was released>we are entering year 8 right now and we are in middle of storyI pray that toby atleast wroten down plot synopsis incase he kicks bucket before last chapter release also what we feel will happen in ch5?I think there will be long moment between just us by that I mean without kris and Susie where we will have choice to wingman for kris or mindbreak her in weird route
>>730827453>azzy fucked the angelSurely Toriel would be against this
last prophecy panel:sorry kris but the chud soul will steal the girl. susie only punched it to hide her excitement
>>730830371Kris and Noelle would go columbine on the school if this happens
>>730824559Susie will not let Suselle happen, though
>>730824559>Hears Kris real voice after ages, gets really happy>Invites Kris and by proxy Susie to her house>Instead of spending time with Susie she decides to invite Kris to her room alone>The whole weird romatic vibes before you make your presenceI'm safe here bruh>But the playerNoelle didn't had the thorn ring before the couch scene so she wasn't influenced by it, she did it herselfNOW Kris being the one actively preventing it because most likely it will end in a tragedy? That's another topic, plus some people like tragedyslop
Reminder that Asriel is the Knight and Dess is his armor.
>>730830371Based. Susie and Noelle should be (ours), not Kris's.
>>730830321That's not Noelle, though.
All Knight theories need an explanation for why the internet is cut and who is the large person in the closet of ch2 and ch4
>>730830578like she died in his arms and turned to dust and it got on him?
>>730830760Something happened to her in the Bunker and she got shattered across the Dark, and became part of it.She's the Darkness that makes up the armor, attached to Asriel like a symbiote.
Who will be the one breaking Suselle in chapter 5?>Kris acting by himself to date Susie?>YOU needing to pick options for kriselle or krusie?>Susie forcing Kris for the date?>Noelle actually waking up to Kriselle by herself?

>>730830876Susie rejecting Noelle due to being scared of the prophecy/wanting only to remain friends with her
>>730830558>(You) force Kris to stop being a faggot and talk to his friend without the sovl for the first time in ages>(You) get him laid to make him work through his Doe trauma after Desster the Molester took his v card >imbibes him with the confidence to unlock chapter 8 which is a hgame where you seduce SusieCinema
>>730830935>Noelle won't wear the Mantle>but Ralsei who is shorter than her willWut

>>730830846if monster dust is considered an object in the dark world then its possible
>>730830743It's not just the internet. Tenna only plays reruns on the TV. Hometown is cut off from the rest of the world.
>>730830237>also what we feel will happen in ch5?more subverted expectations
>>730831130Honestly I never considered the dust angle.I was going for a "There's a Proto Core in the Bunker and Dess got Gastered/Danny Phantomed"
Can the self-inserters try to be more subtle? This is pathetic.
>>730831075Maybe Noelle isn't refusing to wear it because it's too big.Maybe she feels like it belongs to somebody else.
>>730831204but the game is about about self inserting yourself into kris against his will
>>730831204Chapter 5 will destroy self-inserter shiptards. Be patient.
>>730831168There is no rest of the world.
>>730831197well I like to think about what the story has already established rather than inserting headcanon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LWjzWFpzQY
>>730831286You sure about that? Toby could easily be wishy washy about the whole issue and keep the train rolling for years
>>730829726Yeah.....
>>730831361I don't think the story would bother introducing the concept of dustners to use it only once
>>730831286>>730831442Toby came from Homosuck. He knows shippers are where the game is. He will stretch it to chapter 7.
>>730831442I feel like the festival blueballing us would be lame.
>>730831361Is it really headcanon if it hasn't happened yet?There's gotta be some sort of machine in the Bunker, perhaps a Core, or maybe the machine that Sans has in his workshop, that connects the universes.Perhaps Gaster was trying to connect the Light and Dark Worlds and instead got obliterated across all the timelines. Maybe there's a Fountain in the Bunker that's Undertale.
>>730831286>wait who's self-inserting? isn't the whole point o \f the game that the player isn't kris?
>>730831204>>730831286What is this about?Haven't selfshippers already won hard? Snowgrave is literally about (You)r fixation on Noelle
>>730831505I agree with you. learn to read
>>730817204you're so close yet so farTREEsei is the ultimate slowreader theory
>>730831301Or maybe there is and Gaster just closed off hometown for his experiment. After all, if Asriel does end showing up like he's expected to, then he's definitely gonna tell his family about his college experience.
>>730831625Kriselle is blantly painted in an extremely bad thing in that route and will end horribly. I hardly call that "winning" unless you have an abuse kink.

>>730831572yeah maybe, but maybe not. lay off the youtube theory slop. if you have to start assuming things from Undertale are exactly the same in their design and execution in Deltarune you're already fucking the dog
>>730831782>KriselleBut Kris didn't put the ring on her finger. I did.And she thanked me for it.
>>730831625gotta agree. If you did weird route you introduce yourself to Noelle and she puts two and two together that there's some other voice in Kris
>>730831582Every thread we have self-inserts who think Deltarune is about who Kris will fuck.
(I) will fuck THE GIRL.
>>730831885She thanked you because you psychologically mindraped her. Not because she genuinely likes or appreciates you as a person. It's a hollow manipulative "love"
I'm glad none of you are writing Deltarune, all these theories fucking suck.
>>730832062think about it for a second Kris did say Berdly was going to get better so I'm sure there's a way to fix him. Was mindbreaking Noelle really that bad? Maybe. Probably. Gotta wait til chapter give to find out.
>>730831204>>730831782Damn so it was about my post lmao, okay how about instead of name calling, try to subvert this focus shift on Noelle>Extremely bad thingBut that what makes it interesting
>>730832062She likes the power of not having to make decisions for herself, someone else calling the shots makes you stronger and more confident but you never have to try for yourself. You never improve or learn how to be independent, it’s an empty feeling brought on by abuse. Noelle got physically stronger but mentally she is weaker
>>730832062>It's (love)I accept your concession.
>>730832198Kris is clearly coping and lying to her to make Noelle feel better.
>>730832208Why is she such a bitch in the regular route
>>730832062you're arguing with people who think that's based
>>730832043here's your THE GIRL bro
>>730832386Because Kris is ghosting her all the time for no apparent reason in her pov. So she's just giving him what he wants.
>>730832062She enjoyed it. Remember this is the girl who wants Susie to shove her in lockers or eat her. She’s a masochist
>>730832208>chapter 2>"i gotta figure out whats going on with kris!">still truly did those things out of her own will in the end>chapter 4>"yeah i wanna fuck kris!" >any and all good writing with noelle following us out of her own will (and the personality changes that come along with it) is overwritten by mindbreaking her>will jump to susie like nothing happened if you abort itWeird Route had so much fucking potential. No wonder S-Rank room wasn't planned, Toby straight up is winging it.
>>730832386It's implied multiple times Kris was the one that distanced from Noelle, i think it's fair to say she is upset
>>730832043This but fucking the gray sexdoll.
>"holy shit i love this guy i cant wait to recruit him">is literally the only darkner you cant recruit>there is a non-zero chance he wont ever appear again
>>730832386She wants to fuck Susie, a character trait you would forget if you only knew Deltarune from here.
>>730832890No one will shed a tear for him
>>730832785It must be part of the plan to replace the sacrifice. Ralsei must know this and plays along and tried to also include Susie as the "girl". Possibly Kris and Dess forced him to comply. This is why Ralsei act like a servile cuck to Kris and Kris can tell him to keep smiling like a cuck.
What did you name (You)r player/vessel?
>>730831204Why should I? every second of my playing the game is me self-inserting as Kris.
>>730832890Not shearing a tear for him. I actually forgot he existed.
>>730832974>love kris>"HOLY SHIT WOOOOOOOOOW FUCKING KILL YOURSELF KILL YOURSELF NO ONE WILL SHED LE TEAR FOR HIM"unironically what did toby mean by this
>>730830578You telling me Dess has a friend inside of her
>>730832236i'm gonna go out on a limb and say Toby won't make Noelle just a stock puppet for the player to use. Remember her boldness stat she might just turn on the player if they try to cross a line too soon...
>>730831582Crusader of Light is doing that
>>730833025i used my real name for the player and a nickname for the vessel so they could both be (Me) while still letting me tell when the game is pulling from the player name or the vessel name
>>730833125Probably to show how nobody cares what Kris wants or thinks
>>730833025Kanye West for both
