#Deltarune thoughts

[yourlocaltiredartist]

alright more deltarune posting! this time the theory is “susie was raised in a human town/city”. this is gonna be a longgg post. let’s look at the evidence (and my own overanalysis lmao):

1: she’s weirdly insecure abt her tail. when noelle points it out, she immediately gets defensive and claims she doesn’t have one, and then admits, “i… just don’t like people knowing about. it.” she then says she doesn’t have one two more times, once when with the rest of the group, and again when they’ve convinced noelle it was all a dream. this is odd because for monsters, tails are as normal as arms or legs - every other monster in alphys’ class has one. but it’s also a very non-human feature, one that human kids would probably pick on. additionally, unlike her teeth or claws, it’s something she can’t use to act scary and play up her role as a scary monster, so that combined with it being very non-human might make her see it as making her appear vulnerable, which we know she hates.

2. she uses human phrases. she says some things referencing monster biology, like “crush you into dust” (iirc?), but at one point says “everybody bleeds, right?” we know monsters don’t bleed bc of aforementioned phrases referencing dust, and the kid in the apartment who says “does it hurt to be made of blood?” so it’s likely she instead picked this up from humans.

3. in chapter 1, she has the mindset that she is inherently bad and can never be good, so she leans into her role as The Bad Guy and rejects being a hero. we know the other students don’t help this, one example being how monster kid describes all her actions as malicious in their handball anecdote despite them just seeming more awkward than anything. but susie is like, pretty deep in this mindset - it’s clearly been going on longer than hometown. if she was in a human environment, she wouldn’t just be the weird kid, she’d be the scary kid, the, well, monster, especially considering she seems to be a type of dinosaur or dragon and has a lot of more monstrous traits, like her teeth - which, coincidentally, are what she uses to make herself seem like a scary monster.

4: it would be a perfect parallel to kris, a human who grew up in an all-monster town and grew to wish they were a monster and develop complex feelings about their own humanity.

5: speaking of kris, it would explain why she hated them specifically. she may not be the nicest to the other students, but we know from the_n3w3st_g1rl_g1rl that she specifically hated kris and relentlessly bullied them. it could have just been because of their mother, but this seems unlikely - kris can’t be the only kid in class with good parents. the only thing that really separates them from everyone else, at least to an outsider, is them being the weird creepy kid and them being human, specifically a human raised by monsters in an all monster town where almost everyone is fairly nice to them. you can see why that might bother susie.

anyways that’s all for now! might have missed something but i’ll just edit or reblog if i need to add anything later

Deltarune Thought I Just Randomly Had

What if the ‘knight’ we keep hearing about though out the chapters is actually the character you got to customize but then discard at the start of the game?????

[kooki914]

Haii Kooki!! First, i want to say that I love your theories, fanfic and yt videos!!

I came to ask what do you think about the possibility of Ralsei being a titan, if you think it's possible in any way?

Thank you if you see this!! Have a good day/night ✨💕

Hi, thank you for the compliments, and I hope you have a great day, too!

The idea that Ralsei could be a titan (the big one with horns specifically) was actually something my friend Shadowhaxor (@downlowbroyouknow) proposed on a server we're both in, and it kind of stuck with me since. I'm not sure if I fully buy into it yet (as there's no evidence for OR against it so there's no real arguing on the topic) but the symbology surrounding that idea just feels so specific to me that I think it might be intentional.

"The evil within" and "I choose to help when I was made to destroy" could be REALLY interesting roads to take Ralsei's character, and "your actions DO have consequences" being revealed through Ralsei turning into a titan himself would be a hell of a gut-punch and a really effective way to subvert the "your choices don't matter" beginning statement of the game. PLUS with Ralsei's inconsistent design choices there's really no telling if the resemblance to the largest titan is far fetched and impossible, or uncanny and undeniable - it can really swing both ways depending on which of Ralsei's sprites you're looking at, and I think that adds to the overall vibe of this "theory" as it adds potential layers to Ralsei's existence and identity that we wouldn't have otherwise.

He's both mysterious and malleable, he's well-meaning but not incapable of causing harm, and he was made for the prophecy but that doesn't mean he can't embody its ugliest side as well.

(I think there's also something between "The Legend" and "The Dark Truth" that feels like we're missing a piece between them, almost a missing link between the two songs that tells us the full story when we put them all together, but I'm not musically literate enough to expand on that idea.)

Again, as things stand right now I don't think this is 100% canon (no evidence = no concrete conclusion), but there's a lot of imagery and symbolism here that makes me feel like its justified to speculate about, especially knowing how neatly it could fit into Deltarune's overall narrative.

Ch 3-4 predictions let's gooo

I'm still so hyped from the newsletter

[mildlybizarrecorvid]

Jevil was disproportionately popular for how long he was there.

Spamton was arguably the most popular Darkner in Chapter Two.

If the popularity increases continue at this rate, I fear what will happen with Chapter Sevens secret boss.

[homosexual-canine]

I wanna see something

[goat-and-coat]

I don’t care what anyone says. Noelle x Kris is a good ship.

[mintytealeaves]

OK OK OK HEAR ME OUT

A robot au of deltarune where they’re all different like models of different things

like Seam could be a steampunk wind up bot

and Rouxls could be one of those see through gaming controllers

And istg if you say I’m just talking about chapter two I will explode you with my very big and wrinkly brain

Dawgs Peakest deltarune thoery

What if the knight is actually

KNIGHT KNIGHT FROM THE CORE IN UNDERTALE

[iotakaptur0]

reposting my silly deltarune prediction/theory/speculation/idk whatever on tumblr

recently I thought about the fact that Toriel called the police in the ending sequence of chapter 2, leading some to think that Undyne or Napstablook might get into the dark world with Kris opening fountain and leaving the door open, BUT, after the call she was already sleeping when Kris opened the fountain. So if police didn't show up right after the call in the evening, why would they show up possibly in the middle of night, possibly hours after it? And knowing the police of the hometown, it is weird that Undyne, who's so desperate for at least something at least remotely related to crime to happen, hasn't showed up immediately after the call, which makes me think that the one answering phone was Napstablook, who, uhm, at least doesn't seem as enthusiastic for his job as Undyne is.

so my silly speculation and prediction is that they will show up maybe in the morning (I also thought that maybe someone might have already showed up, before Toriel fell asleep, but it would be weird if this happened off screen), after the fountain has been already closed thus not taking a part in another dark world journey (plus creating a possibility of another silly scenario like in the beginning of the chapter 2 with the knife and pie, you know)

ok so pretty much everyone seems to associate darkness and dreams in deltarune with, well, dreams/fantasy, but I saw someone point out the puzzles in chapter 1 and looking at it now it seems like there's tons of times they symbolise the opposite.

like, those puzzles. iirc, the hints for them are “in this world, only eyes blinded by darkness can see the way" and "the darker it gets, the more you can see". this is associating darkness with seeing/understanding more. and dreams are also associated with being more aware, with queen in snowgrave saying Noelle has "awakened too much" and must fall into a "darker yet darker dream". also when Noelle casts snowgrave, her eyes are wide open and completely white - blinded by light. and this is at the point in the game where she's super out of it and blacking out every other minute. and like I know they convince Noelle and berdly the dark world was a dream, but isn't the whole point that that's... not true?

also just like... the light world sections during the day are so far mostly just going around talking to people as if nothing is wrong (except that one hospital scene). the times we see hints towards the truth of what's going on are in the dark world or at night. in the dark. and also the character in the code talks about it being so dark they can't see. which is all much more reaching but anyway it seems like darkness is closer to symbolising truth/reality rather than fantasy in quite a few cases, which. has very interesting implications imo.

Hot take: there IS only one ending to deltarune. Toby said it himself. The story will end the same no matter what; presumably that the prophecy is fulfilled, and balance is fully restored to the light and dark worlds respectively.

The differences in routes, like snowgrave, will only serve to complicate the story. Berdly, whether he dies or not, will ultimately have no impact on the outcome of the story. It will seem different, yes, and there will probably be different ways to beat the game, sure.

But the outcome will never change.

Chapter 1 is a clear example of this. If you spare every enemy, they overthrow the king due to their wanting to protect a cool new friend. If you fight everyone, however, they start to riot. They want the main characters gone. You cant look back on the friends you made, you just leave.

But the outcome stays the same. You still seal the fountain, you still get to see hometown.. And kris still regains control in the end scene.

The same goes even for snowgrave in chapter 2. Even if you kill berdly. Even if you twist noelles sense of control. The ending stays intact.

Sure, spamton NEO causes an entirely new end to the dark world, but.. thats still not the end to the chapter. You still seal the fountain, you still see hometown, and kris still regains control.

I think this will be a recurring pattern for every chapter. At least every early chapter. No one can really say anything definitive about the last few chapters unless they worked on the game themselves, and even then the team is completely secretive and clever about avoiding spoilers.

Sure there are side quests in hometown, like Onion or Mettaton, even Sans asks you to see his brother. But even with those light world stories, the main story remains intact. The ending stays the same.

You could even go as far as to say that Rouxls being in every chapter wont change. He’s confirmed to be in chapter 3 already with the newsletter, confirming a pattern, a set part of the story that wont change.

Your choices, whatever they may be, don’t matter to the world of deltarune. No matter how you impact the lives of those pixelated fictional characters, the overall story will always remain the same.

Hey so, if the "DT sans is UT sans" theory is true

Does that mean Matpat was kinda right? I mean obviously not about him being Ness, but if Sans was from DT that would've meant he hit the nail on the head about Sans being from a different world. Had DT existed at the time would Matpat have...

[kooki914]

Finally uploaded another theory video to my channel! This one's more interpretative and leans a lot into metaphysics and transcendental idealism as a way to analyse the dark world, but I think I made as solid of an argument as possible with what little we have of the worldbuilding so far

[paledoptera]

the ONE thing im worried about with deltarune is that it's gonna have some weird fiction vs reality pr0shipper themes later on. if that happens i will die actually
