since its heavily implied if not just already true that the red soul (the analogy/representation for the player) in deltarune is the same one from undertale and since presumably deltarune’s still going to be more of a “game mechanics just kind of exist in sort of a magic way in universe” kind of meta like undertale is rather than a “ohhh creepypasta the video game is alive” thing that would basically make it so that “Varyingly amoral floating heart thing that can hop dimensions and keeps possessing children to do rpg battles” is just sort of like, a "character” that exists in these games. As a very literal player-insert yes but still just kind of like there as a thing that exists. I do wonder if they’ll ever give some sort of in-universe context for it now that deltarune’s made it more of a focus or if we’re just meant to accept that part and concentrate more on just like the effects of it
#in undertale it wasnt that like flowey was aware you could save and load a video game file#it was that saving and loading were just diegetic mechanics of the way the world functioned.#so presumably dr isn't literally going to have someone go Hi person who is pressing keys on a keyboard playing this video game#though very on the nose metaphors that read that way at first glance aren't out of the question i suppose#That's also why i think the people overanalyzing ralsei telling you about keyboard buttons are a little silly#the froggits in undertale do that too. i think that's just because you need to know what buttons to press#making a video game with absolutely no explanation of what buttons to press for lore reasons would be. a bit confusing#mypost#dt
