#a question mark

[unlimitedhearts]

Im having a Deltarune thought.

Sans is not Deltarune Sans. He is Undertale Sans. We know this from context clues in his dialogue and the fact that his convenience store is fucking Grillby's from Undertale.

This leads me to believe that Deltarune - despite being a separate story and not a continuation of Undertale - is connected to that world by way of at least a few of its characters.

So my thought is this:

Ralsei is Asriel, but not Deltarune Asriel. He's Undertale Asriel.

Supporting evidence includes this lint I found in my pocket, meaning I have none. Its just vibes.

Like how the town in the Dark World is named after whatever name you picked in the Goner Maker when starting a new game.

Like how he's immediately attached to you, the player, and to Kris before even really getting to know either, as if he's been friends with one or both a long time. As if he knows you already.

Like how Ralsei is acutely aware of you the player being separate from Kris and how he has at present talked the soul into leaving him alone with Kris. When we come back to the pair, Ralsei is finishing a sentence always.

"So that's why, okay Kris?"

Like how he's aware of Kris' super special RPG abilities. (Which makes me think he's aware of saving and reloading, but I have less than the lint in my pocket for that one).

Like how Ralsei is shown to have a distinct like of Kris only while the player is around, but we see nothing of how he feels about Kris without the player. In the acid tunnel of love sequence, he says very specifically, "I like that you're you." This is done in front of the player. Implying he's not talking to Kris. He's talking to the player or maybe the soul that the player is piloting. This is moments before you can take a picture with him at the end of the ride where you can recreate the iconic hug between Frisk and Asriel (undertale version). Ralsei is both embarrassed and flabbergasted that Kris would even think to do that.

But it's not Kris doing it. It's the player. And he knows this. He's surprised the player would want to recreate that scene and be shy and embarrassed about being put in that position before ultimately going along with it.

Ralsei has all this information about Kris and the player. He's shown repeatedly to utilise this information, but we never see where he got the info from. He already had it. The second you entered the dark world, he had all that information and more. He had to have learned it from somewhere.

About you the player. About the souls mechanics. About your piloting of Kris. He's came preloaded with knowledge. Where would he have gotten it?

From Gaster? Maybe. But my explanation is simply that he got it by living it.

Ralsei is Asriel at the end of Undertale, having been put into the world of Deltarune. Just like Sans is implied to have been. Having lived his life as Azzy, then Flowey, then the God of Hyperdeath, then Azzy again. He's intimately familiar with the soul and its mechanics because of his life experiences.

Whatever his major plans and motivations are, I do not know. What he's talking to Kris about when the player/soul are not there, I don't know (though if i could have a less than evidence based guess it would be why Kris has to stumble around with the soul a little longer). Good, evil, neutral, I TRULY do not know, and I make no attempt to know. But I get major vibes that we have met him before. We have maybe fought him before. And he's using what he's learned for.

Something.

still one of my favorite bits i ever got to commit was pretending not to know who jesus is when a street preacher was evangelizing to me. he was like "do you know who jesus is?" and i had so much time before my next bus and i wanted to know what would happen so i said no. and you know what. he had clearly never been told no to that question before because if i hadn't actually known who jesus was, his baffled and fumbling attempt sure wouldn't have told me. literally reversed the roles. now you get to stand here feeling very uncomfortable and wishing you could be somewhere else because guess what buddy, this is my bus stop, im early (and can catch like five other buses from this exact stop), and im now thoroughly invested in hearing about this mysterious jesus figure. you're locked in here with me. im eating the key as we speak. i will kill us both before i let you out of here.

very highly recommend this bit if you can pull it off and if you have time to kill

you relate to monstrous characters because you have toxic shame and live in a society that has convinced you that innocent parts of yourself are grotesque. I relate to monstrous characters because I am evil. we are not the same.
