#the smith malius

[the-unrelated-theorist]

This is by far the best Lesser Dad headcanon I think I've ever seen.

are you related to ambyu-lances

LANCES? Well, well, I know these tools!

A lance is a spear designed to be used by a mounted warrior (lancer) or small, round boy (Lancer).

The DUKE OF PUZZLES once brought that BOY to me, begging me to "Please fixeth whateverst's wronge with him. I don'tst liketh him." I showed the boy my most powerful technique, and his BOUNCINESS stat was increased by +520. The duke then told me to "God damn it", but I have yet to learn of this strange technique...

If you need any more information, I am always here!

omg the smith malius hi

About Malius and Gerson...

Before I ramble, I just want to say that this isn’t a concrete theory whatsoever. I merely wanted to share what I found and see what we as a fandom as a whole can get from this if we work together. Get the brainstorming coming! So to speak.

Honestly till this day I’m still perplexed how noone has yet to talk much about Malius considering how Gerson is becoming quite important in Deltarune as of the moment.

We know from Undertale that he was the Hammer of Justice, and this is given more emphasis in Deltarune as he made a popular book series called “Lord of the Hammer” and his gravestone has a hammer embedded on it. 

So a hammer is important when it comes to Gerson’s character.

He was also a smith by trade before becoming an author and teacher in Deltarune

And who’s the Hammer Smith Darkner we meet in Card Kingdom? Malius.

Oddly enough, we don’t see any kind of toy hammer in the Abandoned Classroom unlike the other Darkners. The only Light World equivalent of Malius that we have would be the old yellowed drawing of Gerson Alvin made, which doesn’t have a drawn hammer.

We know by now that shuffling Gerson’s name around we can get Goners, which is very intertwined with W.D. Gaster. We can also shuffle around Malius name and we can get.... Miauls

...which is a sound a cat makes. Or a cry.

This is the only word we can get from Malius.

(I also want to note that Malius and Gerson’s name both have six letters. And their anagrams end with S similarly to Rouxls which we already suspect have some kind of connection to Gaster too. Even Malius normal name ends with S. Isn’t it odd that this two darkners have a six letter name that ends with S?)

Miauls is a sound of a cat. And we already know from Spamton Sweepstakes that Cat and Puppet are Elemental pairs which is important to Spamton and the Tasques and Tasque Manager. What does this mean? Is Malius some sort of puppet?

Speaking of puppets and cats, we know that Malius has the ability to craft an item called the TwistedSword that is made by fusing the ThornRing and a PureCrystal which is currently unobtainable.

The description of the PureCrystal is “The shadow purified by the cat” which suggests that it might be a ShadowCrystal that Seam somehow purified.

And we already know ThornRing came from Spamton who’s a Puppet, and that ThornRing has a Trance effect. The TwistedSword also has the Trance effect but has a downward arrow icon which might suggest it reverses the effects instead.

TL:DR (because I am a royal mess)

Gerson and Malius has a connection through the Hammer and Smith aspect

Malius’ Light World Item is probably the Gerson drawing Alvin made.

The anagram for Malius’ name is Miauls which is a sound made by a Cat and shares the “Six Letters, ends with S Anagram” with Gerson’s Goners and Rouxls’ normal name

Cat which elemental pair is Puppet, might allude to the TwistedSword Malius can make by fusing ThornRing and PureCrystal

PureCrystal description suggests it might be a ShadowCrystal somehow purified by Seam, a Cat.

ThornRing came from Spamton, a Puppet

So... yeah. Malius is fucking wack. There’s stuff about him that connects to other characters and theories but nothing that can give us a concrete theory.

Thanks for reading this if you have! I hope you’ve learned something from this mess ^w^

[madmewmewofficial]

are you the smith malius

Huh? Who’s that? What a strange guess…

[sirompp]

@the-smith-malius

Hey teto what is your favourite letter of the alphabet?

My favorite letter is M!!! For Miku!!!!!!

[skeletalscallybones]

Here is a WIP cast shot of Deltarune X @tsunderswapofficial this will be updated when more characters are revealed in the main TS!swap game when the Starlight isles comes out. Oh yeah I should also mention that since Rudy is Chara in the DT X UT series and because of this I really was not sure how to handle him as the protagonist so I left him out for now. Didn’t want to just turn him human y’know? Anyways that’s all for now this’ll be fun to update when the time comes! (Outdated)

[double--cross-d]

TIL that Malius from Deltarune is cannonly Nonbinary.

I Support them in all their endeavors.

Malius, the smith He’s going to fix everything

Even your bad behavior, boi

[tvlandofficiall]

it’s a real shame the real smith malius isn’t a major named character because – tldr; these tags are spot-on. of our major named cast members in card kingdom – spades king, lancer, rouxls kaard, jevil and seam – none of them seem like they’d have been important to a particular lightner pre-abandonment the way neo was to mettaton aside from seam. and although i could see one drawing a potential connection from neo being a lightner’s drawing to alvin’s drawing of his father, there’s no real dark-world equivalent nor any secret place i can think of off the top of my head where it could be presumed jevil found it. as well, the dialogue both swatch and seam have seems to indicate that we the audience should focus on the part of neo’s power that came from mettaton’s emotional connection to it rather than the mere act of creation (as being created by a lightner is something that seam mentions is true of all darkners. they’re all objects after all.) the drawing seems more to be a piece of environmental storytelling – these were likely alvin’s toys before they were abandoned. and therein, of course, lies the likely strong emotional connection to one of them.

this leads to a number of reads, some different than my own and some that align with it. one read is that seam simply did not know they possessed the shadow crystal until they’d learned jevil had it from the party – mirroring how we have no indication swatch knew of the ch2 crystal despite having a hand in what brought it about. in this reading, seam likely would have obtained their knowledge of the shadow crystals by way of their interest in jevil’s strange words, and may have intuited that jevil had one as a result (“didn’t you defeat him? didn’t you defeat jevil?” ect.) rather than knowing he did for certain. i like this read because it makes seam something of a gaster- follower-esque character. they know of a strange someone somewhere out there and of the knowledge they bestow upon those they contact, but they were never contacted by them directly. they’re operating purely off curiosity. 

this is also the reading closest to my own because – as aforementioned – i’m tentative on whether or not the ch1 crystal’s origin will even be relevant to the game itself. the read works perfectly well without the semantic detail of just where jevil found the crystal or how seam is so powerful as to be only matched by him, and i think not every little detail needs to be revealed for the emotional and characterful aspects of seam’s story to be compelling. i’m just prone to ramble about all the little details because i am a big nerd who spends an inordinate amount of time thinking about deltarune. these worlds are very compelling and if no one else is going to go all worldbuilding on ‘em, i sure will. 

another reading is that seam is – to put it bluntly – just straightup lying. i’m less partial to this reading but i absolutely think it’s in-character for them – they’re already prone to playing up the harmless old fluff act to a downright suspicious degree. it fits them to similarly play up not knowing that jevil had a crystal despite knowing full well he did for some reason or other. i do think there are parts of this that you’d have to get creative to make more interesting than seam descending into madness due to being drawn in by their companion’s words, but i wouldn’t be opposed to seeing them in a different light if it made for a good story. i’d love to see them presented as a more outwardly malicious character if it were written well. (this is also why i delight in the implication of final-boss seam in the theory that the crystals are key to the true end of the game – i don’t think it’s true given i'm a secret-boss seam proponent myself but it’s a real good premise for a story. i’d read a fanfic or play a fangame of that. i’d write that for your fangame. i’d write that for myself.)

(there’s also the bonus option of both of them having their own separate crystals but that does not answer the question posed by the original post so. shrug emoji?)

i'm deeply curious about the supposed link between shadow crystals and dark-world things with importance to a certain lightner, specifically in regard to jevil and seam. i have no reason to suspect seam's information there is inaccurate, given neo's role and immense importance, and provided it remains not inaccurate i can only imagine it'll continue to be demonstrated in the chapters going forward. so what was the source of ch1's crystal in that sense? what or who in card kingdom was important enough to a lightner to bring a crystal about — and what kind of power does said what or who have?

You might be able to fix anything, but can you fix anyone, including my motivational issues?

But of course - I am the smith Malius. Behold!

[ *Your motivational issues were fixed beyond recognition? ]

There. Now your MOTIVATIONAL ISSUES are stronger than they ever were before! They have reached their FULL POTENTIAL. I dare say this may be my finest work yet - these MOTIVATIONAL ISSUES appear to be indestructible!

[krisunofficial]

THAT GUY????

Oh, but you are capable of breaking. Don’t you know that you were broken even before we met you?

I think we must have very different definitions of "broken." I'm okay, aren't I? I was made for this. I'm content knowing that someday I'll be fulfilled. I have friends I'm just waiting to meet. And I know that a lot of you really like me too! That's really important.

...If, um. If you think I'm broken like this... then I don't mind. I can be scared, or lonely, or sad... but there's folks who are worse off than me, haha. This sort of brokenness is much better than the alternative.
