DELTARUNE; Gargy's Fairytale Theory

So, lately I've kind of had an itch in the back of my mind about DELTARUNE, more specifically the secret or hidden bosses in the game and a little correlation they all share. I'll try to keep this under 100 pages but i promise nothing (tee hee hee)

If you've played the game to the extent you're looking at a tumblr blog dedicated to it, you're probably familiar with the character's jevil and spamton. These are the two characters coined by the community as "secret bosses", since you have to stray away from the games intended path to find them (in most cases.)

When you defeat spamton in his 'NEO form', a neat little song will play with his dialogue "a real boy!", this is a nod to the fable/fairytale "pinochio" I'm sure everyone's familiar with. It's a story about a doll that comes to life in search of becoming 'a real boy'. This corrilation made me realize there are A LOT of similarity's between pinochio and spamton. The strings, his regular form being a mockup of a doll, even his goal to become "big", its almost like becoming a 'real boy'. He knows he's not 'real', and just like at the end of pinochio, he too becomes renewed (reneo'd).

This made me wonder if the other secret boss, Jevil, represented something other than the Joker card. Then I realized whenever he was hit in his fat empty head it actually sprung out like a jack-in-the-box. I initially discarded this since it wasn't really a fable or fairy-tale, but if you do some digging you'll find it actually is!!!@! back in the 1400's somewhat, the jack in the box was originally named 'The Devil in the Box', essentially it's a story about a man who trapped a devil in a boot in order to save a village in france at the time, kinda like that one story about the court jester who got locked away by his magician friend in order to save their kingdom (haha. hahahahha. thats from deltarune. hahaha.) just to run home my point, jack-in-the-box; Devil in the box. Jack; Devil. What way could you fuse them together? Dack? Jackil? maybe some other 3rd way that has some importance to Yea thats right you know you've always known its Jevil.

Obviously, in deltarune fashion, its easy to overthink most elements in the story. Granted, toby will make an entire 2nd game about a hypothetical character you've never met but no you've only ever POSSIBLY met through a 1/100 chance door where he'll show you his asshole and then disappear into a million pieces, but yea, it's easy to make certain correlations that aren't even really there. In this case however I'd say that there's one more correlation that seals the deal that makes this theory WORTH theorizing.

Yea gaster. even though he's not even technically a character yet, every piece of information regarding him seems to lead people to believe he's not only the narrator at the beginning of the game, but he's also the 'man' behind the tree (since the way you find 'his sprite' in undertale is almost exactly similar ['theres a room in-between, theres a room, in-between']). I'm assuming you know what there is to know about gaster so im not gonna go into it, so onto the correlation.

I've read before someone talking about how gaster represents easter eggs in video games, not only physically (egghead) but metaphorically (the way you find him, his implied involvment with the secret bosses, the fact he gives you an '''''EGG''''' when you DO find him). Well if he is technically involved with the secret bosses, wouldn't that make him a fable too? I'm here to tell you he is. he is HUMPTY DUMPTY from SECOND GRADE FAIRY TALE PLAY.

I've already gone over his physical and metaphorical symbolism relating to eggs, but the story of humpty dumpty is also very, haha, hahahaha, hahahhahahaha

Humpty dumpty sat on a wall (The Core)

Humpty dumpty took a big fall ("Fell into his own creation")

All the kings horses and all the kings men (Who did gaster work for again?)

Couldn't put Humpty together again ("He was shattered across time and space")

What could this mean? for the future it means that if this theory is right, EVERY secret boss we meet is gonna represent not only a lightworld object, but an actual FAIRTY TALE, a FABLE. I mean, how many fables are out there. I know theres one in particular, one that the game is named after, one that has to do with an ANGEL. an ''''ANGEL'''' with ''''TATTERED WINGS''''''.

but then again idk

EDIT: ALSO LITTLE MISS MUFFET THINK ABOUT THAT UNDER-HEADS LITTLE MISS MUFFET SAT ON HER TUFFET

Last edit: also this has no grounds as an actual theory but uhhh that mf that made the Undertale RED boss fight got hired on the team. Huh. I wonder what Red was a reference to. Huh.

more people have gotta hop on the dess knight train it would be fucking cool. Granted it's hard to discern the average opinion of the entire population from skimming whatever random posts i happen to see but in my experience i've seen more people who genuinely think papyrus is the knight than dess...come on. It would be fucking cool

[missowo]

uh. how do I explain this au.

Sans the doormaker. since I believe ut!sans is from deltarune, the darkner really wanted know who the hell building this travelling door?? And ralsei accidentally met the new lightner (sans) and accidently fell down, like, "Uh. where am I??" ralsei said,"You are in a dark world, sir -" and Sans just fucking created a travel door. he wanted to go home, lol. darkner like what. Then darkner starts calling him a doormaker, and sans literally have no idea, (actually sans aware someone other than him also can created travelling door, yup. it's was gaster created that door on dark world, lmao) (gaster is watching and sweat rn)

sans didn't have clothes when he first arrived, so ralsei made outfit for him about jevil and spam, sans accidentally found them, (anddd they stuck together lol)

[transesyourgranddukes]

going to post this before it begins to decay in my files

combine the redacted and mystery man sprites to get the best of both worlds

[ID: art of Frisk and Gaster standing next to each other. Frisk is about half his height, and looks up at him with a soft grin. Above both of them is a textbox saying “Smells like a waterfall.” Frisk is drawn as a brown skinned Southeast Asian child with dark brown hair. They wear a magenta and blue striped jumper with a dark brown collar and boots. Gaster is drawn as a vague silhouette, leaning his head down, his white watery hair cascading down and covering his entire front body. It crashes onto the floor in white foam. A horn protrudes from his head, under the water. Gaps in his hair near where his head would be resemble his eyes and smile drooping down. Gaps from the middle to the bottom roughly resemble the face of the Determination Extractor. End ID]

god that gaster “””theory””” video makes me so mad

[rodehereonthevines]

doatk cards, i will probably remake the old ones, i want the artstyle to remain mostly consistent, plus most of them probably need rebalancing anyways

I was digging for screenshots for the Gaster essay I’m writing and found this goofy thing from last August spawned from my frustration at drawing pelvises

The ukagaka are the ukaGaster, S the skeleton, and DTS

[twodragonsinatrenchcoat]

I still haven’t told the internet about my deltarune au but that’s okay here take this art for it :)

if you wanna ask some questions you can ask em here or go to @post-geno-dt if you want. I don’t care- I haven’t quite decided what i’m doing with the au yet aside from silly doodles sdfjklsdf
