The Only Human Document

Hello. For the past few months I have been working on a document deconstructing the dynamic between UNDERTALE's protagonist and the various factors surrounding them. After replaying the game I've had a revelation of sorts regarding this topic that I'd like to share with you.

For theorists in this community, I only hope that this proves useful going into DELTARUNE.

SCREAMS AHHHH SHAKING YOU

OKAY SO

for starters i love the art im giggling at the huge chip (i may suck at proportions)

"FLESHLING" refers to any and all creature of flesh and blood, something not exclusive to humankind. It feels wrong for him to say "HUMANS" when truly he means not monster, as he is already so fascinated by mortal remains and "THE INTERDEPENDENT SYSTEMS OF THOSE MADE OF FLESH".

Conclusively, as flesh-like a monster can look, their bodies are still mostly, if not entirely magic. Himself included. Either way, this guy is the king of weird, yet oddly fitting terms for everything.

I promise he's much more polite in person and won't be so uncreative as to limit himself to calling human children FLESHLINGS over and over.

"INFANT" or "LITTLE LADY" do well for a tiny cutie who doesn't really care what words you use.

So is "LAD", if you're more boyish and grown up.

Or, if you're feeling adventurous, "SUPREME OVERLORD OF THE NETHERWORLD" for making fun of an old man who often takes things literally and immediately regretting it because it got corny very fast and now he said it in front of your parents.

Definitely all of the old-fashioned terms and strange wording you can think of, yes.

i am so glad you've noticed and bothered to look up the meanings of their names i was so cooking here

FOLLOWING BELOW: More on SOUL dynamics (with art!), Wingding's centuries of research, getting shaken like a snowglobe

I think it is also important to establish that none of the fallen humans could save, load and reset. Otherwise, we'd not only have a lot of issues with the overall story progression and worldbuilding, but it also undermines the role of the anomaly and flowey's contributions to the narrative.

Long story short, the universe's mechanics said there is a cut one has to make. If there was one(1) single monster left in the entire world, that single monster would not be able to load or save - as it is not simply a ranking thing. DT varies within each individual amongst the category of lifeform they fall into and it is, well, not usual (abnormal, even) to concentrate so much.

"The chosen one" is a common narrative trope and Frisk is special in that sense - and along with Flowey, they fulfill the angel's role in UNDERTALE's prophecy.

Then, what was Toriel hinting at here?

Well, personally? I like to think that for the others, the dynamic was much like retro games, where you have a set number of lives. One run, one timer, one true death.

Once a life is consumed, loading respects an automated programming of restarting a level until you're done for. No such thing as a menu screen with choices. The same appears to have been applied to Chara, as they seem to be somewhat familiar with the world's mechanics when awakened with enough LV – like they've gained an extra life for a brief moment. It is also odd how they specifically asked for Asriel to take their body to the surface once they were bound together, as if trying to avert the effects of automated revival within the Underground's barrier.

This way, we work out both the conundrum of keeping the timeline linear and their reasons for being stuck at the game over screen as spectators.

With this out of the way,

how the FUCK would these two of all children get so far in the first place.

quite simple. they've got the most CHEAT of all soul modes. one doesnt even have to move, and all the other has to do is keep moving.

why would any member of the royal guard make you cyan or orange. much easier to just immobilize you with a cage of either colour

something something DT or whatever

We know that whatever SOUL research was being done, Wingdings preferred to apply it in new technology to improve monster life underground rather than actually finding a way to bypass the barrier — probably because of his relationship with the royal family and how distant of a reality it seemed after the tragedy. Instead, how about investing on automating security? Good and quick food for everyone? Optimizing transportation? Wouldn't it be nice if you could just open a door and already be somewhere else far, far away? But then population grew even more, and suddenly the confined space of the caverns isn't enough anymore, so now we have to resource to crazier ideas.

I feel like the extraction machine does not do the work of isolating and refining the substance we know as DT, because every soul is unique – each light is unique. In Deltarune, we see how Dark Worlds change depending on the creator of the fountain even if it's the very same place. That is applied SOUL POWER, something we will define as the raw determination that was purified for other purposes during Alphys' research.

it fucking POSTED INSTEAD OF SAVING. MY DRAFT. I WILL WRITE MORE LATER.

The Bravery SOUL. so normal about it Shotout to n4rval's Gaster who got me thinking about the two humans‼️ Stares

(Patience not included as it's just plain good ol 'Your Best Friend' throughout) Why does the theme sound so NERDY. All the other SOULs, even Kindness, sound serious. And it would be logical for Perseverance to sounds like that, but nope: it's Bravery's theme.

When I listen to Kindness' theme, it associates with defending oneself, Perseverance with calculating your next moves, while Justice focuses on the opponent's.

Integrity is hard, its creepiness strays me from my line of thought, but most fitting would be 'attacking'. The dustiness of the tutu doesn't play a role in my choice and it's likely that neither of the humans killed anyone, as it would instill at least some fear into monsters and, y'know', be mentioned at least somewhere. But self-defense is still an option, though! Doesn't have to go as far as murder. Nerdy, and many people have pointed out the presence of Gaster's leitmotif in there.

(The video it's taken from)

And, well, these. Just some silly things. Personally I think Gaster could've dealt with two humans after Chara, namely Patience and Bravery. The Patience and Bravery weren't used for the reason of being excessive (I feel like 4 SOUL modes is enough) and Toby not having ideas about how such a SOUL mode could be even executed (the OVERTIME one has a special place in hell). But if looking at it from an in-universe perspective, what if Gaster utilized the SOUL power for lasers? I think a monster's SOUL combines every human trait in it, making it white. Like RGB. So they can also use colored attacks, which have a unique effect. The Royal Guard uses blue attacks to hinder the movement of their target, or, more specifically, a human. Same goes for sentries like Sans and Papyrus. Woshua uses them so you could stand still and let it cleanse you. Hard to say why Gyftrot would, but hey! It's a personal choice, so why not? Orange attacks are very scarce and only one monster exclusively uses that type of attack, and not a combo. Tthat monster being Pyrope. When it comes to switching between these two, Mettaton uses both because of the lasers prominent in the CORE and Hotland, while also being a robot, which, I suppose, makes the utilization easier. Asgore, unlike Undyne, isn't adamant on his target being still to the point of rendering it immobile, so he uses blue attacks instead like the rest of the Royal Guard, while also mixing them with orange ones to disorient the human. So Sorry is a weird case. They attack you but are also sorry for that. (Asgore-style) ..They're quite the character. Green attacks are self-explanatory. Also got a silly idea: what if, since a monster's SOUL is all traits mixed together, white attacks damage you since that is also applicable to them? If you make an orange and a blue attack into one, then it turns into an attack that damages you upon contact either way. But strong monsters, like the main cast, can turn your SOUL a different color. Which, too, is connected to the fact that a monster SOUL consists of every trait, so it can be any color. I already talked about Undyne above. Sans rarely even fights, but in the one instance that he does, it's the sins weighing on our SOUL. Papyrus views the whole fighting thing differently, so for him it's about the challenge. The art of fighting. The purple and yellow modes are a bit weird, the latter one especially. But Muffet uses the former one over the green one due to her playfulness. The purpose of the yellow mode is hard pin down, because it doesn't inconvenience you in any way. But a SOUL is a SOUL, so naturally, SOUL magic would affect them as well. The yellow mode could be used to aid monsters and allow them to get more precise hits? My point is, monsters using either of these (colored attacks and SOUL modes) is natural. What Gaster did was to use that power a bit differently, fusing it with technology.

I feel like Bravery stayed with Gaster for a bit longer than Patience, hence the amount of connections. But if we're going off of Flowey's order of the six SOULs, Patience died first. Bravery dies shortly afterwards. Very reminiscent of the Dreemurrs, isn't it? Ouch. Imagine searching for them and finding out that you arrived a bit late to the scene. Gaster, probably: human...... i know your BRAVE.

my deltarune

Anyone else notice how everyone calls it “The tale of DELTA RUNE” as in the symbol of the prophecy while Gaster at the end of the chapter calls it “MY DELTARUNE” as in the game
