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.
#i completely agree with your commentary from the tags and i think its worded very well actually#and also youre the first person to call out the strange specificity of the prophecy without making it sound like#ooo ralseis super evil and a master manipulator har har har#like this is a genuinely good take and im adopting it wholesale#could you fucking imagine. the prophecy calls for a human a monster and a titan. and he fights for balance even if he only exists without i#AUUGHHHH ITS JUST SO GOOD#long post#rambles#reblog
