q: kris what is your secret to being so cool and awesome and remarkably good at the charleston

a: i stay humble

[ballpitbitch]

i think a lot of the reactions to the end of chapter 4 can be explained as those who had alcoholic parents and those who didn’t

[gabyiisart]

What are your thoughts on heh tenna

He is surprisingly such a charismatic and interesting character, he is totally different from what I expected and was imagining.

My theories for chapter 3 were Tenna and Mike being the most biggest selfish, scoundrel brothers. Them two would be characters who would compete with each other maybe to give a dazzle or some kind of parallel to Kris and Asriel reference. Or anything that represents a part of Kris.

But honestly, I'm completely in love with the original Tenna! The fact that he's a 3D model is so funny and unexpected, his personality is definitely striking, funny, but the way he connects so well with Kris but hasn't had as many interactions with them as I expected just makes me a little sad 🥹

Overall, Tenna's concept is so interesting and fun... he's a TV, traumatized by family fights - he knows so much about the family and just doesn't want to be obsolete... made me sympathize with him, a lot!! And I can't wait to work on fanarts for him.

I wonder since Oren and Ravion was friends does it mean there is a chance for the bird lady(I think Paloma was her name?) and Corry are being is also friends?

:) take a guess

DELTARUNE SELF-INSERT MOD

Deltarune Self-Insert Mod (DR-SIM) is a Deltarune AU in-development with its main major change being that the player and the vessel are the same person, instead of Kris being controlled by their own SOUL.

⬇️ QNA BELOW ⬇️

Comics:

Reddit mini-Ask Series / RedSoul Introduction (discontinued/non-canon)

Party Bad Omen (in-progress)

Q&A:

Is this actually a fangame/Deltarune mod?

How long has DR-SIM been in development?

Despite the title of the AU, this isn't a fangame nor a mod. It's a YouTube animated series in development. Currently there isn't any way to follow the main story.

A full year (post updated in 03/2024). The concept, theme and story took me a long time to properly flesh out. Hallucinating a Deltarune AU to the same J-pop songs over and over demands a lot of energy, you know?

Who is Pinkle?

Is Pinkle YOUR self-insert?

Pinkle(OC) is the main character of DR-SIM. She steals Kris' role in this AU, being taken into the Dreemurr family instead and leading both Susie and Ralsei as the main trio.

No.

Where is Kris in this AU?

Who's Kris?

Why does Pinkle look like [insert character here]?

It's intentional.

What is the main story of the AU?

Pretty much Deltarune's story but with a valley emo girl as the protagonist.

That's it...?

Obviously I wouldn't leave it like that, the storyline also features a sub-plot happening a few years into the past, which is why there's a lot of young Asriel and Pinkle art on this blog.

Are Pinkle and Asriel siblings?

As much as Pinkle likes to refer to Toriel and Asgore as mom and dad, she doesn't like the idea of Asriel being her brother, to his dismay. He learned to accept that (she's gonna be creepy either way).

What are the headcanons featured in this AU?

I try to be close to the original Deltarune as possible, leaving its mysteries unsolved unless the plot calls for an answer, although anything added from me will be discussed and be considered exclusive to DR-SIM.

Do existing characters get redesigns?

Most of them only get tweaks, but a lucky few need more attention for the sake of storytelling. (ie: Ralsei)

Aside from Pinkle, are there going to be other original characters?

If there are, they need to wait for their turn, we already have a very colorful cast of characters from the original game.

Any ships?

Although this AU was born from a very restless hyperfixation on a ship, romance is not a focus.

[cinnamuff]

Something I'd love to do during the next SQ hiatus (not anytime soon!) is to share like lil infographics of the planets and aliens that the crew would encounter during their quest!

[akanemnon]

Ok I'm not sure how to word this the greatest, so please bear with me...

I know that Chara has that sort of 'quirk' type thing that they start to contract words when they get emotional. Does Kris do that as well? Like they use 'em instead of them when they get emotional? In the recent qna question they used contractions like that, and I'm curious if that connects to the fact that it was kind of an emotional question + answer.

Again, I apologize if this doesn't make that much sense!

No, Kris doesn't share this quirk with Chara. Kris uses contractions very frequently, actually.

The only person who shares this quirk with UT Chara, funnily enough, is DR Chara. But in their case, this quirk is turned on it's head. DR Chara talks extremely casually and uses slang and contractions very liberally. But for them it's also a way to hide and distance themself. They don't get close to people, but if they did, they would talk very formally.

So excited you're back! I've been dying to know your thoughts on spam's appearance in chapter 3 and if your thoughts on him have changed at all/been solidified

Hi charrfie!! :^D

Before I played the new chapters, I was trying not to get my hopes up about getting anything Spamton. Imagine my surprise when it turned out chapter 3 was set squarely in Spamton’s shadow! Spent the whole chapter just missing him lol. (That “H-AY HAY HAY!” bit made me jump.) Tenna’s pettiness towards him was hilarious too. AND THEN HE ACTUALLY SHOWED UP??!! The bonus room scene made me laugh so much. Man I’m just glad to see he’s alive and well! Could not be happier, so many new questions!! And tidbits of answers! Oh the HAY bit also solidified for me the fact that Kris likes/misses Spamton, if they’re imagining what he’d say… I thought he would be overcome with anger, seeing Tenna again, but I guess Tenna’s care for the pipis made him soft… It was nice to see Spam so hopeful before he got foamed. I know he said he’s never doing that again, but man I hope he does come out again somewhere. It was so so interesting meeting another character who knew Spamton in the past. Anyway, my thoughts about Spamton haven’t changed much. I adore him more than ever. And actually, Tenna’s reaction to him solidified in my mind how strange and off-putting Spamton appears to other Darkners, which is sometimes hard to remember, seeing the wide variety of weird and wacky Darkners. And with how much Tenna resembles Spamton in mannerisms and looks, I really wonder how he looked before he met Spamton! Who copied what from who?? Has Spamton just been masquerading as whatever figure is most popular at the time? Like, first he copied Tenna and then he copied Swatch…? But yeah, it was crazy to look through a foggy window into Spamton’s big shot days! And man… what Spamton said about Mike in the Sweepstakes QnA proved to be true so far. “YOU GUYS KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MIKE!! NOTHING!!! AND THAT'S THE WAY IT'S GONNA STAY!!!” (I have gone through the Mike room btw) Whew… it’s a lot to think about, and that’s just considering Spamton’s story!

q: kris who is your greatest foe

a: weird al yankovich

[wpmz]

a little ramble about the "ralsei is kris's old horn headband" theory (and why i don't think it's true):

i think the biggest issue i have with it/piece of evidence against it is the darkners are shown to have some memory of when they're objects. for example, chapter 1 darkners like seam and the spade king talk about being abandoned by the lightners, i.e. being left in the abandoned classroom, sweet cap'n cakes talk about what queen was like before the fountain showed up in their shop dialogue, in the spamton sweepstakes twitter qna it's implied that spamton knows noelle because she would always check her spam email despite this being well before the chapter 2 dark fountain could have been created, and there's probably others that i'm not thinking of off the top of my head.

so keeping all that in mind, if ralsei were the headband i feel like there would be some implication of him recognizing kris or at least having known lightners previously, but instead he talks about never having had friends before and waiting his whole life in castle town for the heroes in the prophecy to show up. this would only really make sense to me if he spent all his time as an object in the supply closet, or what feels more likely to me, that he is purely darkness, purely imagination, and not tied to an object at all.

i guess you could say that maybe ralsei forgot or lost his memories, or was told by someone else that he has to keep his identity a secret, but to me there just currently isn't enough evidence for why that would be the case, at least compared to what feels like the simpler explanation that being an object just might not apply to him, in the same way that turning to stone doesn't apply to him or being able to travel to other dark worlds does. ralsei is more different from the other darkners than he is similar in a lot of regards, and i think it would make sense for there to be a slightly deeper explanation for that than simply the fact that he's from the castle town fountain.

of course none of this explains why he's implied to look like asriel, which i think is the question most easily answered by the theory that ralsei is the headband. my best guess right now would be that it has something to do with connecting him to kris who is in turn connected with the player, but honestly i don't have much in terms of ideas on this one, at least until we possibly learn more about how ralsei or castle town even came to exist in the first place.

and of course, all of that said, this is all still just a theory and maybe i'm wrong! even while typing this up and thinking of possible counterarguments i've considered things i didn't think of before, and i do think it's a cute headcanon and it'd be fun if it did somehow end up being true, even if i don't think it's the most likely explanation at this point.

⭐1a. What is the Great Brilliant Radiance AU about ?

“Upon destruction of Frisk and Chara’s world, they visit Kris’ world and join them for a short walk.”

This is a short dream-like surreal comic focused only on Kris , Frisk , and Chara .

Story is closer to canon with slight differences and out-there scenario . Odd differences here and there . Takes place after Undertale and before Deltarune . It's like self reflective and atmospheric in between

This tells an original story and doesnt repeat canon , and is a more serious comic

This is Not an interactive ask comic and is more of a normal graphic novel . however we love usual ask questions !

--

⭐1b. GBR is a reboot/spiritual successor to Haunted Hearts AU

Haunted Hearts @hauntedhearts-au is an AU we made back in 2019-2020 which was an ask comic that reached 60 pages , however had to be cancelled due to life stuff and will not continue . So 5-6 years later we decided to reboot this :]

That AU is no longer canon to GBR , so that plus everything getting major overhaul , you don't need read to read HH to understand this .

copy pasting my knight papyrus take from my main

ok so im bored and i know no one will probably read this so im gonna lay out my papyrus knight theory/au timeline

for simplicity ill break it into three segments: what happened before to set up this chain of events, how and why papyrus does it, and bare bones evidence

1 before deltarune

generally this is working off my "gaster is bad at math theory" which, to summarize, basically says gaster started as a scientist in deltarune with 2 kids (sans and paps) accidentily fucks up the math and teleports to undertale, uses deltarunes superior tech to create the core, fucks up the math and falls in, frisk/player pulls up, after a bit sans and paps dip but gaster fucks up the math postmortem and they get stuck in deltarune resulting in papyrus becoming a hermit who accidentally opens a darkworld in his closet and then does the fucking grinch smile and causes a ruckus

2 why tho

how papyrus does it: something something prophecy, destiny, gaster fuckery, what have you. effectively via the same plot convenient saving grace that allows us to close the darkworlds and control kris

why does he do it: same reason he spares frisk in geno. he sees that characters like kris, berdly, susie and noelle and knows that they can do better, they just need to try. and what better reason to try than life threatening adventure? (sidenote: i fucking despise when people make the excuse of "Oh HeS bEiNg ~MaNiPuLaTeD~ bY ______" like no shut up let papyrus be morally ambiguous dammit) he is also likely aware of the titan situation and is just deadass like "NO I CAN TAKE THEM IN A 1V1 I THINK" also it makes sense narratively due to his incomplete character arc

3 DA FAX

the closet the chapter 2 darkworld was likely started from can fit and i quote "a large person" (especially combined with the skeletons in my closet line in undertale), he has been set up by sans to have a late game appearance, no alibis in chapter 1 or 2, in chapter 2 the "trousling bones" mentioned when interacting with the door of sans' house grows distant as another darkworld closes, as mentioned in section 2 his arc is still incomplete and as mentioned in my papyrus backstory post we dont even have a clue as to half the shit he's hiding, as a more meta reason bonetrousle was originally the main theme of deltarune, the "secret name" line from papyrus qna 2, the jevil reference dialogue in papyrus qna 2, and probably the most solid motive out of the candidates. that being the fact he believes so much in that people can do good if they try, to exercise that from a more cynical perspective of these beliefs (i.e people wont try unless they have to) could look like forcing them by way of obscure supernatural prophecy and lifechanging perilous adventure

bonus: why other candidates are dumb

gerson is fucking dead

gaster, while likely behind the secret bosses, seems a bit occupied with fucking with reality and would rather cast someone else (like his son????)

dess is currently entangled in the code and likely cant have much effect on the actual world

mrs. holiday seems like a better candidate for character development by darkworld than creator of darkworld

asriel is at college

kris has been controlled by us for most of the game and i aint see them open a darkworld beyond the one post chapter 2

player, i dont know about you guys, but i have not opened a darkworld

new character sounds REALLY boring tbh

ralsei, rouxls, and any darkner candidate are ruled out due to queens speech

[san-gl6]

OKAY SO ABOUT MY PAPYRUS' THEORY OF HIM BEING ON CHAPTER 4-

I know I'm not the only one that thought about it and maybe I'm being delusional bc I'm obssesed with this man but hear me out anyways-

So, first things first, why don't I think that Papyrus is going to appear on chapter 3? Well, we know that this chapter starts on the dark world, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. When that fountain gets sealed is probably going to be morning time, and WE ARE NOT GOING OUTSIDE TO EXPLORE AFTER ALL OF THAT-

(Also, we know that chapter 4 has a longer light world segment so yeah-)

SO- A THING ABOUT PAPYRUS BEFORE TALKING ABOUT HIM APPEARING-

(Again, not the first or only one that has thought about this-)

I think that Papyrus is the only UT character that's going to be younger than his UT counterpart. I think that bc of somethings that Sans says to Kris on chapter 4.

Sans is talking like HE'S responsible for Papyrus, and yeah he's the older brother but.. In Undertale he never talked like that, Papyrus was an adult and he could take care of himself. So the fact that he talks about NOT LETTING HIS BROTHER HANG OUT WITH A STRANGER?? WHAT IS HE?? A CHILD??.... a child?

WHAT IF PAPYRUS WAS ALSO A TEEN???? This would have to go along with the "Sans is WAY OLDER than Papyrus and took care of him" headcanon, but I feel like it's starting to feel more canon than headcanon y'know? AND this also goes along with "deltarune BEFORE undertale", which is something that a large part of the fandom thinks and believes by now-

NOW THE OTHER THING

PAPYRUS IS A SHUT-IN

HE NEVER LEAVES THE GODDAMN HOUSE-

"THE DISTANT TROUSLE OF BONES"???? THIS MAN IS AN ANXIOUS MESS

He knows no one, and no one knows HIM. He hasn't left the house since he and Sans came to town, has he? Sans said that he wanted Papyrus to have friends. HE SPECIFICALLY SAYS THIS

He NEEDS friends??? And after that he's super cold. Like just right after this he says "thanks for hanging out with him. see ya." And like, Am I the only one that finds that super weird??? He talks like Papyrus need someone else to get him out of that damn house. Or maybe he has really bad social anxiety and being on a "one on one" situation might be easier for him. But pls tell me that I'm not the only one that feels desperation coming out of sans-

So, what do we have for now? Papyrus might be a teenager and desperately needs friends (might be anxiety or that he feels very down, like in Undertale when Sans says "My brother's been feeling a little down lately", who knows). We also know that Sans is trying to get him friends so the job is easier. What does that let us think?

FINALLY ON THE THEORY ITSELF

(again, I might not be the first person or only person to think about this, but I'd really like to present my take on the matter)

So, I don't think that Papyrus is going to appear on the larger section of chapter 4. We know that we can explore the light world but we are with SUSIE now, and Sans doesn't exactly knows Susie like he knows us (they haven't talked alone so-). I don't think that Sans will let us hang out with Papyrus if we are with Susie ;-;

So! Let's skip to CHURCH TIMEEE!! We know that the town goes to church every week, and it has proven to be a safe environment for the kids! What if Sans brought Papyrus to the church without him knowing? I mean, we have proof that Sans lies to Papyrus so he can try new things (Papyrus QnA reference-).

Sans knows some people already, bc he runs a convenience store, he knows Toriel and Alphys too! So who's to say that he doesn't know other adults that have kids? I believe that Sans thought that this would be a great opportunity for Papyrus to know people and being comfortable (since everyone is happy it could bring a warm feeling)

BUT I don't think that Papyrus will see it that way. I really think that he'll get scared or mad at Sans for lying to him and he will go home. Making his first appearence short. Which I see very fitting bc of the "Papyrus? No sorry... he's busy" stunt from Tobias Fox. This could bring more mistery around Papyrus and who knows? Maybe we CAN befriend him later!

--------------------

Sooooo- Maybe this whole thing didn't make sense and is a bit weird that I'm posting this just A DAY BEFORE DELATURUNE RELEASES but still-

I needed to talk about this man.

It's amazing to me that this man has so many mysteries around him and things that TOBY DOESN'T WANT US TO KNOW-

LIKE WHAT IS HE DOING? WHY IS HE BUSY?? IS HE CODING? IS HE AN ANXIOUS MESS? IS HE THE FUCKING ROARING KNIGHT?-

Just ignore and let the Papyrus brainrot slowly consume me...

Except maybe don't bc I need to know that I'm not the only crazy one.

So um, reading over the Umbrashard QNA, I found funny that both times Kris and Birdly I mean Berdly we're asked about each other they say:

Basically:

(Also, I put no real effort on Kris since they just didn't worked like I wanted to so clear anatomy and accurate dress structure go down the drain.)
