Re your tags - lol PLEASE share I only know of the Aerosmith one at Disney but I would love to learn more! (Niche interests? In MY neurodiverse website? It's exactly as likely as you'd think!)

I am looking at u with such wide eyes

I know more about the mechanics and safety features of roller coasters bc I think they are so cool.

One major safety feature of every roller coaster are their block zones. The end of every block zone has a way to completely stop a train if another train is in the block zone ahead. If there is ever a flat space on a ride with a walkway and stairs down, there are breaks there to stop the train. This is to stop a potential collision.

This is a very good system and very rarely fails. block zone detection is done by computer and requires a manual override to allow the trains to move ahead. the override can only be done once an engineer checks out the whole ride (and maybe electrical system). only then is an override is allowed.

one example of this system going wrong is with The Smiler crash in 2015 at Alton Towers in the UK. There was a lot that went wrong here. First, the ride shouldn't have been operating at all due to high wind speeds. However since it's the largest ride at the park and it was a very busy day, it was decided that it should run anyway. Next thing that went wrong was that there were more trains out than the operators knew about. I believe that there were 5 out when they knew about only 4. When an empty train got stuck and didn't return to the station, they didn't know, because they only knew about the 4 trains, and not the 5th. A train with people got stuck in one of the block zones, because the ride detected the stuck 5th train! it did its job! however, when the ride engineer came over, the operators told them that there were only 4 carts in operation. The engineers therefore, only checked to see if all 4 trains were accounted for. And 4 trains were accounted for. But the 5th undocumented train was still on the tracks. The engineers there did not do a thorough enough job because they assumed the operators were correct (and as an engineer in training, it's good to trust your operators, since they know a lot about the ride, but also when safety is involved, you have to check everything. no matter what. check the entire track, even if they said only 4 are in operation, just to make sure. safety is everything. checking multiple times is necessary for the safety of everyone). The engineers gave the go ahead to let the train into the next block zone, and there was nothing that could be done to stop the crash at this point.

The train full of people struck the other and it took probably around 5 hours to get everyone out of the crashed train. two riders (in the front center seats) had to have one leg amputated due to the injuries caused in this crash. Many had severe whiplash. There are videos that document the actual crash, and it is disturbing to hear screams of excitement turn into screams of pain. you can hear the moment that the train collided. it's one of the worst crashes I know about simply because of how preventable it was. A lot of other crashes I know about were caused by maintenance errors. not checking bolts in the train wheels, not checking upstop wheels, not checking braking systems, not checking whatever. But this was checked. There were multiple layers of safety, and they were all bypassed.

this became more about that one crash instead of mechanics LMAO I think it's so cool how the systems involved work and how they fail

i had a dream where deltarune chapter 3 came out and like

it started out just instantly, no menu, no title screen, no hometown, no castle town, just straight into chapter three dark world.

the whole thing was like in this massive parking garage, it was like the dark world was just this massive fucking parking garage. and for some reason ralsei was just this faint sillhouette barely resembling ralsei. for some reason whenever susie talked her sprite was like her slightly nervous face and the dialogue box was just completely blank

and after like five minutes of walkign around this massive parking garage rouxls just fucking shows up with his pirate getup from chap 2 and a fight started.

basically the fight would just be kris attacking these dummies of various farm animals on sticks, which in turn would do damage to rouxls like some weird voodoo dolls, and after taking down all the dummies rouxls would take off his shirt and put it on the same stick the dummies were on and that did the most damage when you hit it for some reason

then after beating him rouxls would join your party i guess????? and then the gameplay gets back to walking around a parking garage

after a while they reached like

the cars of a roller coaster on rails and they just got in and then the coaster started moving forward on the rails and the chapter just ended what the fuck does this mean im scared

Who’s driving this crazy contraption, anyway?

Yeeuh another new part for Paper Trail is here! In which the gang has to roller coaster their way to victory. It seems the only thing that could make roller coasters not fun is backseat drivers.

This will be the last part for this year, as it’s now holiday and relaxation time for me! New parts will be coming along soon in January, though! Have a great rest of the year!!

Pretty sure Kris likes their soul

Kris steps back in fear once Spamton shows interest in their soul.

(Notice how Kris changes places from being in between the two posters to standing at the edge of the first?)

Legendarily DO NOT like the Hearts Donut, which seems to mimic a soul.

Have hearts on their roller coaster

(Both Susie and Ralsei have straightforward caricatures of their preferred selves - Susie is fierce and on fire, similar to how she likes her cars, Ralaei is cutesy to the point of being weird.)

Have the noted trait of pointing and hearts appearing

(the other trait is eating moss, which they seem to like.)

All of the above seem to point that Kris values their soul,

like alot,

like,

wouldn't trade it to Spamton for freedom a lot

Two main explanations for this, as I see it:

1. Kris has experience being soulless, considers it extremely unpleaseant, to the point they'd rather have it on, despite controlling them

2. Kris's soul belongs to Kris. They value it because it's a part of them, and they don't want it to get hurt, because that's a way they get hurt too.

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

Ummm how about spamton x reader where spamton feels like finding true love from the reader made him free of his strings, he's finally free and they share a moment together and its all very sweet

I know its cheesy but 🥺🥺🥺🥺

No plot is too cheesy for me! (Under cut bc of spoilers)

......

"Spamton, that's enough!"

Silence rang throughout the basement's chambers as Kris, Susie, and Ralsei ceased their attacks and looked towards you. Even the roller coaster-like carts came to an abrupt halt as Spamton lowered his cannon, confused by your outburst.

"Don't you see it? We haven't been hurting you, we've been cutting your strings loose." You pointed out.

At first he didn't believe it, but as he wriggled around he realized...you were absolutely right. All but one wire remained hooked to his body. It was no wonder he was able to attack more freely during his turns.

"[Y/N]!! YOU..HAVE BEEN DOING THAT THIS WHOLE TIME?!! EVEN AFTER ALL THE [FREE KROMER] AND [LIFETIME SUPPLY OF] AGONY I GAVE YOU??" His grin faltered as a second realization hit him:

He was so blind to his obsession with acquiring your SOULs that he didn't see you were all trying to help him.

Yet he repaid you with bombs, spam mail, and pipis..

"I understand you're desperate, but you can be free without SOULs."

".....I can?"

"Here. If you'll allow me to finish this..." Glancing at Kris briefly, you smiled as they gave you a simple nod. A final ACT to snap the wire. And with your weapon you cleaved through the green string no problem.

Spamton landed on the tracks with a clunk, stumbling a bit to keep himself grounded. He was surprised his NEO armor didn't completely fall apart. But as you approached him, you stopped when he suddenly fell to his knees, looking down at you with furrowed eyebrows.

"I NEVER [Wanted This] TO HAPPEN, BUT...I-IF I DIDN'T [Shoot for the Stars] NOW I'LL NEVER GET THAT CHANCE AGAIN!!! YET....I REALIZED WHEN I TARGETED YOU AT YOUR WEAKEST, I HELD BACK."

"You did?" Come to think of it...he didn't attack you as ferociously as the others, even though you channeled your SOUL to produce many "big shots" to protect yourself. "I thought I was just good at dodging."

"[Y/N], I KNEW YOUR HP WAS SO LOW...MY PIPIS COULD HAVE KILLED YOU IN ONE SHOT. I-I DIDN'T KNOW [What You Were Doing] AT THE TIME BUT I COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO FINISH YOU OFF. AND I GET IT NOW..I GET WHY I DIDN'T: YOU SWEET LITTLE [Hot Single In My Area] WON A [Free Ticket] TO MY HEART."

"The hell's this guy on about?" Susie grunted in confusion, only to be shushed by Ralsei. "What? Kris tells us absolutely nothing about meeting this----woah dude, are you...crying?"

Sure enough, the robotic puppet was indeed crying. Tears trailed down his cheeks as his hands shook. You stepped closer, smiling a bit as you weren't afraid anymore. You didn't have to be.

"Y'know as they say "if you love someone, set them free"."

"LOVE. YES!! THAT'S IT! THE BEST DEAL THAT COULD'VE COME OUT OF [My Life Savings]. YOU MADE ME FEEL...LOVED." He put a hand to his chest, the mechanical heart looking like it wanted to burst out again. "THERE ARE NO STRINGS ON ME...SO LET ME...REPAY YOUR....GENEROSITY."

All of you stood on your guard in case it decided to malfunction, but you were stunned when something else happened:

Spamton was encased in a glow that made him shrink back down. When it receded, he was back to normal, being taller than before and his suit taking on a multi-colored pattern like his armor. No wings or cannon were in sight, but he didn't care about that.

Only the person who saved him. The Lightner who didn't abandon him like all the others.

You.

He ran over and hugged you tightly, making you drop your weapon. His body wracked with sobs of happiness as he held you in a death-grip, though Ralsei healed you to make it a bit more bearable while you hugged him back. You could feel your neck grow wet with tears, but you didn't care. He needed this badly.

"I'M BACK AND I'M LIVING FOR MYSELF NOW..A-AND FOR YOU." He cried. "I PRAYED EVERYDAY THIS DAY WOULD COME."

"Now it's here, Spam. You're free." You chuckled as you patted his back, before gazing at the others, who smiled as well.

Ralsei was pleased that the power of love resolved things.

Susie still had a dozen questions about this guy but was otherwise happy for you.

Kris was glad they went through with the bizarre "deals".

[a-concert-just-for-me]

idk if this is cringe but I have a lot of silly Deltarune asmr video ideas if you guys want to hear them

**Edit 1: these are free to use as long as you credit me and link back to this post (and send me your audio/video pls, I’d love to see them!!)**

**Edit 2: So far, we have 2 entries! I made a Noelle Gossips With You in the Library Computer Lab ASMR here and @mittensowo made a Susie Chalk-Eating ASMR here.**

Okay back to the ideas:

Queen is an acid wine sales rep and you’re a customer who keeps trying to politely decline her

Queen chastises you for your internet search history

Queen tries to recruit you as a peon

Noelle helps you make a Christmas list 364 days in advance

Noelle gossips to you about her crush on “someone.” She goes on about Susie for 20 minutes without ever saying her name (or, we could have her accidentally say Susie’s name at the end of the video and then rush to turn off the mic)

POV: You’re watching Berdly’s Minecrap Twitch stream

POV: You’re watching Berdly build his smart boy theme park in Roller Coaster Tycoon

Susie eats chalk (very crunchy sounds!!)

Susie heals you

Susie accidentally gushes about her new friends and her fun adventures

Susie talks about the weird quirks of the dark world that she finds cool

Ralsei explains the meta Deltarune controls to you

Ralsei gives you a tour of the Castle and/or Castle Town

Ralsei makes you a cauldron cake

Ralsei tells you about The Legend and other stories that he’s read from the castle library

Kris drops bath bombs into the toilet (very fizzy)

Kris moss tasting

ASMR where Kris just turns on the bathroom sink and you hear various crashes and damage noises for 2 minutes

Lancer shows you his room (slime sounds and hole-digging)

Lancer teaches you how to set your bike on fire

Lancer teaches you how to put your dad in a hamster cage jail cell while still trying to be ethical about it

Rouxls Kaard discusses his puzzles (the video is 2 minutes long and the sound of his voice fades away as you are implied to be leaving)

Seam shows you the items in his seap and also discusses the apocalypse while he’s at it

Jevil gives you a motivational speech. (You can do anything!)

Swatch and the Swatchlings prepare a dinner for you

You help Spamton renovate his dumpster

Spamton tries to sell you an NFT

[tenpixelsusie]

I had a dream last night about deltarune chapter 3 where kris, susie, and ralsei were on separate roller coasters and fighting godzilla !! and so the godzilla guy says something ??? I cannot remember but susie retorts "you're lucky kris is non-binary!! They'll kick your god damn ass for saying that!!" and that's how toby got kris mis-genderers to shut up

and the thing is the dream felt SO real i thought toby had released dr3 early

[susielesbianism]

Tbh on Ralsei's arc, I feel like, every characters arc is gonna make us cry lmao, Noelle, Susie, Kris, etc, Toby Fox is making the most crazy emotional roller coaster of a game and we're gonna be riding it lol.

Yeah true.

[purplechaosguardian]

Now I'm just imaging Player desperately to keep these kids from getting killed or hurting themselves. Wait. Wouldn't that mean that them turning the SOUL Yellow it can be interpreted as the Player being so angry about what Spamton Neo almost killing Kris that they decided to change the SOUL color to the most offensive one?

:)

You had a bad feeling about Spamton from the beginning. Whether because of his odd way of speaking, his really disturbing habit of projecting on to Kris, or just common sense that dudes who laugh maniacally before jumping out of dumpsters in alleys generally don't have your best interests in mind. Probably a combination of all three. Regardless, even after the two of you spared the little weirdo, you had the feeling that wasn’t the last you’d see of him.

But between the Queen’s antics and trying to keep the kids from seriously hurting themselves, he would soon be forgotten.

Hours later, you and Kris would be exploring the dungeon. It was their idea, that maybe the Queen had something down there that would make the surely upcoming fight easier, and you had agreed. The 4 barely managed to win the fight against Lancer’s sorry excuse of a father by the skin of your teeth. If the Queen’s fight was anything like his, that it was at least worth a look around.

The search was ultimately fruitless, unless the Queen’s weakness was vines or something. Kris sighed in disappointment as they made their way out but you mentally grinned. “it was still a really good idea, krispey kreme!” They chuckled at the incredibly stupid nickname.

Until something dropped from the ceiling and sent them flying. “kris! kris, are you o-.” You stopped at the cachopnic cackling.

“HOLY [[Cungadero]] DO I FEEL GOOD…

HERE I AM!! KRIS!”

You could feel Kris’s fear, and while you’d be lying if you said you weren’t afraid yourself, you shoved it deep down. You had to be calm. For them.

“BIG BIG, [[BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER]] HA HA HA ... THIS POWER IS FREEDOM.

I WON'T HAVE TO BE JUST A PUPPET ANY MORE!!!!

...

OR... so... I... thought.

WHAT ARE THESE STRINGS!?

WHY AM I NOT [BIG] ENOUGH!?

It's still DARK... SO DARK!”

The puppet continued to shriek, but the green threads remained, leaving him prisoner to whoever was on the other end. He lunged for them, and they barely dodged the swinging legs. “KRIS.

KRIS.

KRIS.

KRIS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU.

I NEED YOU.”

Another lunge, another dodge. TO BE BIG.

WITH ME.

VERY VERY BIG” This time, the kick did land. “kris!”

“SO BIG WE'LL STAND UP TALL AND SEE PAST THE DARK STAND UP WITH OUR HEADS IN THE CLOUDS AND LOOK INTO HEAVEN I JUST NEED THAT LITTLE, [[SOUL]] Y O U HAVE.”

The puppet laughed maniacally as he pointed the gun at the two of you, Kris weakly placing their hand over you, you powerless to do anything to protect themA flash of purple. Susie!

“Kris! The hell was that weirdo!?” To be fair, you really didn’t know yourself. “Kris, we were worried about you so…” And you were glad they came. A second too soon and Kris would have been…ugh.

You felt them to get up again. “easy kris. there’s no rush to get moving. you can take a breath.” And if the abomination was reading your thoughts or something, a voice destroyed the recently claimed relief.

“Y O U HAVE KRIS!!! YOU HAVE [Friends]!?

WHY DON'T YOU TELL THEM ABOUT MY [3 for One Specil]!

TODAY, THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN TAKE A LITTLE [Ride Around Town]...”

Roller coasters scooped up the trio, bolting down the track at breakneck speeds.

“[Attention Customers! Clean up on Aisle 3!] SOMEONE LEFT [There] SOULS, [Lyeing Around......]” Blue copies of his head headed straight for the cars.

“no.” You shot out of Kris, shooting and clearing their path, then Ralsei’s. Susie’s was a little more difficult, but not impossible.

Kris!?!? WAS THAT A [BIG SHOT] JUST NOW!?

WOW!!!

I'M SO [Proud] OF YOU, I COULD [Killed] YOU!

[Heaven], are you WATCHING?

IT'S TIME TO MAKE A VERY [Specil] DEAL...

You were beyond enraged. This little freak thought he could hurt Kris, and try to hurt Ralsei and Susie, and thought there would be no consequences? No backlash. You had enough.

“Kris!?!? WAS THAT A [BIG SHOT] JUST NOW!?

WOW!!!

I'M SO [Proud] OF YOU, I COULD [Killed] YOU!

[Heaven], are you WATCHING?

IT'S TIME TO MAKE A VERY [Specil] DEAL…” “kris!” They just pointed to you, eyes as round as dinner plates. “oh yeah, i’m surprised i can still do this. long story. but i’ll tell you later! do what you gotta do and don’t worry about the obstacles, this’ll be a cakewalk for me!” They nodded and began planning their strategy, while you focused on the puppet.

Time to make him pay.

[mar64ds]

At first I wondered how the festival Susie talks about to Kris at the end of Chapter 2 will presumably play a role in Chapter 3, but then I remembered there're a lot of carnival imagery in the Cyber World: the roller coaster fight with Berdly, the prize-winning game are Kris and Noelle regroup with Susie and Ralsei at, the Ferris wheel Susie and Noelle ride on, the teacup ride puzzles, and so on. The conversation about the festival happens right after Susie brings up the possibility of bringing Ralsei and Lancer to the Light World, so there's that too.

maybe not chapter 3 but in another future chapter, the festival doesn't seem to be the day after chapter 2, but it's definitely soon

it can't be a coincidence how much carnival stuff there is in chapter 2... i'm intrigued with how they are going to play with this. Maybe Susie and Noelle will take the ferris wheel again ^_^

Hopefully it's something cute and not... something bad that happens and interrupts the carnival of hometown

[smells-like-mettaton]

56 kris and susie?

Rating: G Word Count: 692 Prompt: Someone accepting the bad parts of you without judging Read on AO3: here Notes: but im not sure I really did the prompt accurately. Regardless kris and susie are friends. Also this is set after a theoretical chapter 7

---

It’s strangely empty, in their chest. Not that it’s a bad feeling—they don’t think it is?—but it’s… weird. No exaggerated thump-thump. No force seizing their limbs, pulling them in every direction. No weakness that normally comes when they tear themself free.

It’s just… them.

(Who is “them,” anymore?)

They lay in the mud at the edge of the lake, their feet dangling in the water. It’s cold. They like that. Something crisp and real, something that reminds them that they’re here. When they kick their feet, the splashes drown out the loud buzz of the festival coming from the middle of town.

Footsteps squish through the damp grass behind them, then squelch through the mud. The mud splashes them when she sits down.

“Nice mud angel,” Susie says with a smirk.

Angel. Kris winces at the word. Susie’s eyes widen.

“Uh, I mean—mud, bird? Or whatever. Whatever!” She flops back too, splashing up even more mud.

“‘S okay,” they mumble. They had to talk about it sooner or later. Susie wasn’t one to just ignore painful things, not like Ralsei or their mom. .

Kris had been controlled by the Angel. Puppeted around like a marionette on a string. Of course Susie would want to talk about that.

Kris doesn’t admit that they’ve been avoiding her. Technically they’ve been avoiding everyone, so it shouldn’t be a big deal, really. They ditched the festival, but they can still hear the laughter and general noise blowing through the trees.

Susie should be there with Noelle. Not here, trying to pry answers out of someone who= who might not even be her friend.

They dig their fingers into the mud. They don’t look over at Susie. The emptiness in their chest grows wider and wider by the minute.

“I, uh, brought you something. From the festival.” They hear Susie sit up and dig in her pocket. “I know you didn’t wanna go, but you can’t miss out on the food, right? Only comes once a year.”

Brow furrowing, Kris sits up a little. It’s enough to see Susie holding out what looks like a fried ball of…

“It’s moss.” She grins. “I made one of the Ice-E’s guys drop it in his fryer for us. I mean, if they can deep fry ice cubes and sell ‘em…”

She’s searching their face, looking for any trace of emotion beneath their bangs. Their red eyes are wide, their focus completely absorbed by the item on her hands.

She got them moss. She got them moss.

Their face feels wet with something that isn’t mud.

“D-dude!” She drops the fried mossball and grips their shoulders. “You’re… it’s okay. You don’t have to eat it. If you don’t like it. Or whatever.”

They sniff wetly, shaking their head. That’s not why they’re crying. They’re just… it’s so stupid.

Susie has no way of knowing that while the Angel had let them investigate the moss, it was Kris who had chosen to eat it.

They pick the mossball out of the mud and shove it in their mouth. It’s crunchy on the outside, but squishy on the inside. A perfectly balanced snack.

They realize too late that they should have saved some for her.

“Heh, guess you were hungry after all.”

“...Yeah.” They smile back, wiping their mouth with the back of their hand. “Sorry I finished it all.”

“Hey, you’re the LV 7 Moss Finder.” Susie elbows them. “I trust you to pay me back.”

Their throat tightens at the word trust. Even knowing what she knows—knowing that the Kris she fought alongside was hardly this Kris—she trusts them. She knows them. Maybe not perfectly, but enough.

“Yeah.” Their smile grows a little wider. “I bet there’s some good moss in the coaster cars.”

“In the…?” She blinks, and then she laughs loud enough to scare the fish that had been nibbling at their feet. “Hell yeah! Roller coaster!! It’ll be just like old times!”

She leapt up and held out her hand. Kris took it without hesitating.

It would be better than old times. Now, they knew that Susie really was their best friend.

DELTARUNE SPOILERS

Heyyy! I wrote a thing involving Jevil and the Chapter 2 Superboss! I'm going to put it under the cut, but at the end, there will also be an Ao3 link if you wanna support me there!

Thank you! Remember to Reblog if you wanna

The Lightner Trio walked down the stairs in the Queen's massive manor, their hurried footsteps echoing like a rough pitter-patter in the technological nightmare. The massive lair confused and bamboozled them, but they definitely wanted to figure out the mystery behind what the Fountains were about, what Queen's true intentions were… and what was in the basement?

"Uhh… Kris?" Ralsei asked, his soft voice echoing out. "Why are we even here? Aren't Queen, Noelle, and Berdly upstairs? And not here…?"

Susie quickly interrupted him, punching his arm lightly to get his attention. "Of COURSE they aren't here. But whatever is here is probably important. Right, Kris?"

"I guess!" The currently blue human replied. "I've been asked by some… guy, about doing these weird favors for him. He really wants me to be alone."

"We sure he ain't a p-" Before Susie could finish her thought, Ralsei muffled her mouth with his scarf. "Who is he? And why does he want you to be alone?"

"His name is Spamton, I think. I don't know much about him, but he gave me this Loaded Disk earlier, and--"

Suddenly, a strange, chaotic voice rang out. Everyone recognized it. The tail attached to Ralsei's cloak popped off, diamonds and hearts flying out with it. The tail spun and took form, and the chaotic Jester they quite literally put to rest yesterday was reawakened.

"Spamton? SPAMTON? The same Spamton who wished for me to go, to go, and be free, free?" Jevil laughed chaotically, with Ralsei caught quite off guard. "You know him?"

"That dorito chip was part of the reason why I was set free, he was! He used to rule this world, before the Queen I've been hearing oh so much about took over. Oh, I MUST know more of how you met that ridiculous lunatic! And that's coming from ME, ME! Spamton, oh Spamton, I'd like to have a word with him~!" Jevil looked quite pissed off, his normally jovial expression looking slightly stern.

"I didn't wanna go down there anyway. Just come back, okay? You're kind of carrying us with your defense boost." Kris, with a neutral expression, gave the clown the disk they were gifted by the malignant salesman, and watched as Jevil immediately sprinted off into the basement. They could hear an echoed "Buh bye~! I'll be back in a few hundred words!" As the jester descended into the decrepit basement below...

Jevil entered the musty, rotting cellar. Despite him rarely stepping on the ground, each step he did take left a haunting impact on his feet. It was silent, save for the occasional rustling of his clothes. He didn't have long to do this. His physical form only had a few hours to be out and about before he solidified, just like the young boy and the puzzle freak. Thankfully, that's all he needed. He was getting excited, almost giddy, to interact once more with his old acquaintance. Oh, what a wonderful conversation they'd have!

He didn't walk for too much longer before he found the train station that was buried deep below. Or was it a roller coaster? Whoever had this built clearly had some elaborate roundabout in mind… too bad they were still imprisoned, haha! Jevil walked and floated across the tracks, reaching a room with a decaying robot inside.

He knew this was a bad idea. But when did he ever have good ideas?

Without hesitating, the joker put the disk into the robot. At first, nothing happened, and he was getting impatient VERY quick. He gave the robot a swift kick in the lower area, before stepping back out of the room.

Step…

Step…

SLAM! The clown was admittedly caught off guard with how fast the silhouette from above came and pushed him onto his knees. With a small gasp for air, Jevil looked up slowly at the encroaching menace. The jagged movements, the glitchy, unsolidified form… this was him alright.

"KRIS… MY LOYAL [Sponge!] THANK… YOU. THE [Clown Around Town!] I REMEMBER YOUR [Disgusting] FACE. EVERYONE WAS SO [Thrilled] TO SEE YOUR [Calcified] FACE." The massive robotic behemoth loomed over Jevil, rage in his glasses. Spamton NEO.

The clown got up, a smug, shitfaced expression on his mug. He knew damn well that the dorito in front of him was pissed off, so he leaned back in the air to retort. "At least I drink plenty of milk, uee hee hee! As for you, you haven't changed one bit since we last spoke~! Or would it be a byte, a byte? Regardless, I do hope you've given up on the illusion of freedom, freedom~! The only one who can be free is MEEE!"

The robotic menace swung around to the other side of Jevil, making it very clear who was in charge of the conversation. A small concentrated blast of Pipis was fired at the jester, pushing him back with a surprising amount of force. "YOU ACT SMUG, BUT YOU [Crashed our stocks!] AND THEN YOU [Spoiled relations with our Esteemed Partners!] I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU… GOT IN HERE, YOU… [Tuna Fish,] BUT I'M NOT FALLING FOR YOUR [Roundabout!] AGAIN!"

Jevil laughed maniacally at this thought. This guy was mad! Over something that happened how long ago? Why even bother holding a grudge still? Petty, petty! He knew why, and it's why he came back too. "You influenced him. That pretty little kitty. You gave him enough funds to release me into that carousel of bliss and innocence! But I wasn't done, not one bit! And all those years, spent being free… they made me realize something, my dearest Spamton."

The oddly calm tone coming from the jester put Spamton NEO at an incredible amount of unease. "WHAT? WHAT COULD YOUR [Calcified Lump] THINK OF THAT WOULD MEAN ANY GODDAMN THING TO ME?"

"I CAN DO ANYTHING!"

The joker used his latent power to pelt the giant mecha with small white hearts. Spamton was caught off-guard, stumbling back a fair amount. Of course, you have to fight fire with fire, so the robot used his abilities to send out a Big Shot of blue Spamton Head Pipis.

"YOU [Saturated Marketshare!] YOU CAN'T SIMPLY ATTACK ME AND EXPECT IT TO WORK [As seen on TV!] I'M A [BIG SHOT!] [BIG SHOT!!!]"

Jevil hopped up onto the ceiling, clearing the first few Pipis on the lower row heading his way. Unfortunately, the higher row caught him clean in the face as he bounced between the two, making a small Jack-in-the-box melody as he pinged around.

"SPAMTON, MY BELOATHED! I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND, UNDERSTAND, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE TRAPPED IN A CAGE WITH A SHARK, A SHARK! YOU GET BITTEN AND CHEWED UP!"

The fool retaliated by running circles around Spamton, turning into a carousel of horse bullets! The robot, in a surprising feat of puppeteering, dodged the attack almost perfectly… until a stray horsie cut a string, sending the mech's right arm into the horse race. One thing about arms with cannons on them? They fire.

As soon as it happened, Jevil was face to face with a swarm of Pipis all around him. He was stuck. All of them exploded brilliantly, sending the clown flying clean across the rotting tracks and into the wall. Tauntingly, mockingly even, Spamton NEO retorted.

"I'M THE SHARK NOW, JEVIL! I'VE CHEWED UP SO MANY [Failed Buisness Partners] THAT I COULD MAKE A WHOLE [Presentation] OUT OF THEM! STAY OUT OF MY GODDAMN WAY, OR [Sparkle like new!] YOU BRAT."

The buisnessman charged at Jevil, his hands becoming phones. "IT'S FOR YOU." Suddenly, before either of them could react, loud blasts of garbage noise manifest expelled from the phones, attacking the court jester with white blasts of energy. There was nothing he could do to stop this robot's onslaught, it looked like.

"OH SPAMTON, IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK? THAT YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S SO POWERFUL RIGHT NOW, NOW? I'D SUGGEST YOU LOOK UP, UP! YOU'RE NOTHING WITHOUT THOSE STRINGS IMPRISONING YOU, UEE HEE HEE! YOU'RE NOT A BIG SHOT, YOU'RE JUST A LAZY FRAUD WHO CAN'T STOP HANGING ON TO HIM! I GUESS SLEEPING FOR 100 YEARS DOESN'T MAKE LITTLE OLD ME MISS MUCH, RIGHT?"

Without warning, Jevil was myseriously gone from his corner. The spamware looked frantically for his target, before being struck in the arm, the leg, and the chest by scythes. Devilsknives. The last knive cut a few strings clean off the puppet, who briefly hit the ground before rising back up.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! [Hyperlink Blocked.] I'M STILL HIS LOYAL ASSOCIATE! HE MAY NOT HAVE TALKED TO ME IN [Employee of The Month for 144 months!] BUT HE'S STILL THERE…"

Jevil interrupted him cleanly and concisely. "FACE IT. YOU'RE NO BIG SHOT ANYMORE, SPAMTON G. SPAMTON. ALL YOU ARE IS A FAILED INVESTMENT, UEE HEE HEE!"

With those words, a purple blast came from behind the clown, striking the robot right in the noggin. He flew back a bit, giving the joker enough time to turn around to meet his esteemed guests.

"Ah, my imprisoners~! Didn't you guys have a Queen to rock-em sock-em?"

Susie immediately cut him off, as she punched him in the arm (causing his head to spring up, naturally.) "Well, Kris over here couldn't shake the feeling things were off. So they forced us down here, and now they're right. Somehow?"

"I know I'm right.. Jevil, who the hell is Spamton?" Kris replied, their worry about the situation starting to rise.

"It's of no concern to you~! His screws were almost as loose as mine, and I don't think it's my job to tighten them~! Uee hee hee! Thank you for the help, but I can do anything~! Even tell you guys that 3 coasters are about to come down and force you guys along for the ride~!"

Ralsei immediately stuttered something out. "Three… what?"

And just like that, with a loud rumbling, the heroes were swept up into 3 old, rusty carts, barrelling down the track. Jevil laughed to himself, proud of what he got to do. "Ah well, it's a shame I can't finish him personally…"

"But oh well! Are you proud, proud? They took care of him…"

"Doctor."

Ao3 Link!

[redsoul-kris]

As Kris finishes answering that ask, what seems to be a ballistic missile shoots out from the castle, crashing to the ground in front of the three Lightners in a terrific explosion.

When the smoke cloud dissipates, a rotund spade boy and his bicycle lie completely dead on the pavement.

The teens are left in dumbfounded silence.

"Uh... hey, Lancer," Susie finally stammers. "You, uh, g-"

Lancer immediately hops up to his feet, stretching out his arms in a "ta-da!" pose and playing a jaunty tune on his MP3 player. "Susie!!! Soft cream!!! Blue person whose name I still know!!!"

Lancer jumps to hi-five Susie, sending both of them into joyful evil laughter.

"Hey!! Man, you had me worried for a sec!" Susie chuckles. "What's that song? It's catchy as hell."

"I call it..." Lancer does a dramatic spin. "... Lancer! Girldad helped me compose it! By the way, she made a roller coaster for you three and a room for the sweet little strawberry."

"Sweet little-? Oh right, you mean Red." Susie points her thumb back to Kris, who waves to Lancer. "Yeah, they're here too."

Noelle also waves hello, walking up to greet Lancer. "Hi, Lancer! Listen, we'd love to check out all that stuff later, but we need help."

"Yeah," Kris says, stepping forward as well. "Do you know where Ralsei is? We wanna talk to him about something."

Lancer spins a few more times, stopping once again in a "ta-da!" pose and pausing his music for dramatic effect. "Not here!"

"WHAT?" all three teens shout in unison.

"Yeah, he said he had somewhere to go. He went that-a-ways." Lancer points to the light that leads back to the Light World.

Kris, Susie, and Noelle stare at the light in confusion.

"What the..." Kris mutters. "Ralsei...?"

My thoughts on Chapter 2!!!

Of course!!! Spoilers under the cut!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

...Anyways!!!

Chapter 2 is SO good, I adore every part of it, the setting, music, characters, art, gameplay..... I don't think there's any part that I am not a fan of. But that's whatever!! I just want to dump how I feel about specifics!!!

Firstly, and most Celina-Related... Mew Mew. MEW MEW!!! I guess they're Maddie as of now but!! My sentiment is unchanged by their name!! We don't even get to SEE her and yet getting those few lines of dialogue made me so happy ::')

She deserves the WORLD. I hope we get to enter the ghost residence sometime. It'd be our first chance to see all of them interacting in-game.....

Hometown's residents in general are very, very interesting... Asriel II hearing a song from the sea??? Snowy and Monsterkid investigating the bunker, Rudy's worsening condition, Alvin visiting Gerson's grave.... It's all so much.

The idea that Asgore is a former cop and might've been the reason Dess is, not around. Is heartbreaking. Even if nothing's confirmed it still hurt, and with DR's setting and tone it feels so much more personal than the six fallen children. Tragedies pile up at Asgore's feet wherever he goes. There's too much mystery behind this to say for sure but god it HURTS.

Spamton NEO.

Spamton NEO.

WHAT A FIGHT. The return of soul modes??? The theme??? The roller coaster?? Everything is so over the top and I LOVE it. Spamton himself has some pretty bleak implications for a LOT of things, and the ending of his fight is Fucked Up!! To say the least!!!

Plus the fact that this battle uses The World Revolving's leitmotif... Honestly, it feel like that part of the song symbolizes Freedom more than Jevil or any other character who may use it. Both Spamton and Jevil has serious themes of corruption, abandonment and freedom, which, looking at Kris.... Is worrying.

SPEAKING OF THE WONDERFUL CHARACTER THAT IS KRIS DELTARUNE...

Kris... Every little bit of characterization they got is so wonderful and so, so upsetting. People have talked about their searches a lot already, but what really got me was the post-Spamton NEO scene... They saw a puppet cut off it's strings, only to become nothing more than a doll. With everything he says to them about being "Just a heart on a string," and the previously mentioned motifs of freedom and abandonment... It clearly really got to Kris. They have what seems to be a full blown anxiety attack!! They were obviously disturbed by what happened with Spamton and it seriously broke my heart ::'(

With that, and the ending. the ENDING.... I'm very unsure if Kris is the Knight. There's a handful of things that have me feeling that way, like Jevil and King's supposed encounters with Said Knight. But, there is SOMETHING up with them... I don't think they have evil intentions at all!! I more feel that they took the stance the others had before hearing of The Roaring and stuck with it. That the Dark World is a better place, and even IF the imbalance could happen, Kris has the power to seal the fountains. It's a way to keep seeing Ralsei, to keep having adventures with Susie, and to keep doing this even despite the consequences.

The only thing that's got me stumped is... Queen says a knife was used to open the dark world in the computer lab. And, of course, that Dark World didn't exist until that day, after the Pie Incident... Perhaps the pie isn't the only thing that was effected then??

Whatever's going on with them, I don't think there's world ending intentions behind it... I have SO many questions

Oh and, Ralsei is DEFINITELY hiding something. I know it's common knowledge but... He really can exist in other dark worlds and move freely between them huh???? Is HE pure Darkness?? Is he even a DARKNER???? All we know is that he's a fluffy boy.....

And finally!!! Gaster's presence being nothing but subtle hints is chilling, I can't wait to see what The Good(?) Doctor has cooking up in The Void/The Bunker/[[Hyperlink Removed]]!!!

An analysis of the Deltarune Dark Worlds

I wanted to share my thoughts on how Dark Worlds work and more specific ideas on the themes of them. (as of Ch. 2) Which I’m putting under a cut because long post.

Each Dark World, thematically, is built around the area it’s created and what objects reside inside. Each Dark World essentially has a handful of themes that build up its whole, and Darkners which match those themes can safely enter those Dark Worlds. Think of it like blood types, or Spectral energy in Paranatural, if you’ve read that. They don’t have to match perfectly to be compatible, but not everything will be. An easy way to figure out whether a Darkner can belong is just to consider if it would look out of place there.

Now, how about the themes of each Dark World?

Castle Town is essentially a hub Dark World, and can safely house any Darkner. The given reason for this is that the dark fountain that gives it form is pure, but in terms of theming, it’s because it’s a generalized storage closet. Nothing is reasonably out of place there. It was likely rather empty though, as it lacks many unique traits, being more reminiscent of what might just be considered a “default” Dark World, bearing emblems of eyes later seen in prophecies and only having piles of dust, pools of darkness or whatever the hell those wiggly things were (door stoppers?) as interesting entities. This may also be why we receive a prophecy here. There is not enough traits of the light world to create with, leaving much of what the Dark World has to offer.

Castle Town itself is barren, scattered only with abandoned shops or homes (most likely empty shelves) and Ralsei’s castle. The royal theming most likely comes from him. It gains much of its later personality from the Darkners that inhabit it, with the in-progress chess board and the shops.

Card Kingdom is an abandoned classroom most likely meant for children, as evidenced by the overall lack of actual educational material. As the name suggests, it’s largely themed around playing cards and other tabletop/board games, such as puzzles, Chess or Checkers.

As a world, it’s essentially a fantasy one or more kids would create for a game. You can explain almost every aspect of its design with that idea. Characters are made up of face cards from playing decks and then whatever else is lying around, like legos, puzzle pieces, chess pieces, checkers, and literal actual balls of dust. Kids can and will improvise. The King has become a horrible oppressive monarch who bans puzzles and thus former puzzle makers are forced to take whatever job opportunities they can manage, the chess kingdom has been taken over, and the evil mind control crown used on K. Round? I’ve probably played something similar to this with LPS before. Many of the more classic fantasy tropes are also easily explained by the fact that kids borrow ideas from whatever they’re familiar with, so you’d wind up with something half wildly creative and half entirely plagiarized.

Cyber City is extremely straightforward in most of its theming, focusing on the idea of Cyberspace. In execution it reminds me a lot of old cyberspace themed stuff I’d see on TV as a kid, like that one Scooby Doo movie. But it also incorporates aspects of the library and the space surrounding the computers in the computer lab.

The most notable not immediately obvious bit is that Cyber City is also amusement-park themed, with the Teacup rides, roller coasters, and obviously the Ferris wheel, which is all drawn from the poster advertising the festival. Stray wires, & loose electricity are also built around the surrounding environments rather than Cyberspace itself. The Speak & Spell puzzles also align with the idea of a library itself (with spelling and reading), although they may also be in reference to those typing games that kids usually had to do at school. (Also I’m pretty sure a Speak & Spell is a type of kids toy but I don’t see one of those bitches in the librarby and therefore I don’t care) (Also I think the massive supply closet may be a reference to GIGA Queen and not just. Hiding corpses.)

That’s about all I got for now but honestly if anyone else wants to comment neat stuff I will appreciate it.
