#toby fox and his fucking anagrams

[bendablerune]

Hey guys I just need to tell you that “Father Alvin” is a near perfect anagram of LEVIATHAN.

Y’know. The biblical sea monster.

Just letting you know.

[paledoptera]

fucked up deltarune dream i had last night

i had a dream toby fox released a troll game that he said "is the next game in the undertale series!!!" the logo was completely incomprehensible, some kind of anagram of undertale that made no sense

i booted up the game and it's a fucking scratch game which looks kinda similar to this

toby fox actually said that he prided himself on his "new and innovative characters, rangle chutley and fish". they were literally just shitty jpeg sprite edits of the fun gang

the boss was the vessel with snowgrave noelle as its fucking stand or spirit body. the only attack it actually did was the one berdly tornado attack from his chapter 2 fight

during this, a bitcrushed version of the fucking throwaway ice palace boss theme played at deafening volume while bowser jr sounds played on loop

[a-v-j]

Oh well, fuck it. So here's anti_pj or mapjaper(anagram-em "paperjam")

Imma just release a character that i was supposed to release earlier this year lmao.

His debut(along with AJpamper(lust!paperjam))was supposed to be in that animation i still haven't finished yet and im not quite sure WHEN im actually finishing it but here's the story board

Intentionally overlapped so not much spoiler lol

And the progress of the animation so far

Short description for MJ

* he finds catharsis in destroying than creating(not that he likes to just for the heck of it, it's just a whole lot more easy than creating for him)

* has really great memory, photographic even

* on constant art block and so gets frustrated and destroys what he creates in the process

FUCK I MISSED THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAILS OF HIM

*full name: Map Grammarly Japer

Enjoy for now lol

Fourth (and Final) Impressions of Deltarune Chapter 2

Edit: forgot to put a readmore. Forgive me! Spoilers under the cut!

- So I wasn’t even in the palace very long before we got to a series of puzzles that Berdly couldn’t solve, much to his frustration. I figured Berdly was building up to something, either a boss fight or a growth moment, and it was the second one. Turns out when you thrive off of praise, you develop a bit of a dependency... good on him to be self-aware.

- In the flashback sequence with the spelling bee, I noticed the word Noelle got nervous and stuck on - “December”. See, I remember another sequence in the city where we had a character moment with Noelle while pressing a series of switches that spelled out “December.” Clearly the word is significant to her in some way, and probably a negative way considering how it made her freeze up. Either something big happened in December, or something big happened involving a person close to her named December, since I remember her mentioning a “Dess”. I’m looking forward to where this goes.

- The theme in the Queen’s palace slaps, just gotta say that before we go further.

- So backtracking a bit, Lancer has been stone-ified, and Ralsei knows exactly what’s up: the dark fountains create worlds, the dark fountains that was sustaining Lancer’s world is gone, and that’s why Lancer is stone now. He���ll be fine, though, if we can get him back to Ralsei’s castle town and the fountain there. Good of him to offer a solution, except...

- ... hold the fuck up, Ralsei. So you’re telling me that this happened to Lancer because of the loss of his dark fountain - which Ralsei encouraged us to go through - and because of that, the Dark World that Lancer comes from is no more? And what’s more, Lancer now depends on the Castle Town fountain - that is, Ralsei’s fountain - to live. He is now life-bound to your town, Ralsei. He literally cannot leave you and still live, and even if he could, the world he knew is gone. Oh, but it’s ok, because you conveniently have a place for him to live under your roof now. 

- And, hold on, who was it who told us we had to go through the Dark Fountain to get home?? I played through the first chapter just recently, that was you, Ralsei. I definitely remember Ralsei saying we had to do that, he gave us that quest in the first place, and I definitely do not remember him mentioning at any point that this would end with Lancer’s world being destroyed. This is absolutely not fine, Ralsei. Oh, and considering how conveniently us getting isekai’d in the library lines up with Ralsei suddenly insisting we had to go and do homework... Ralsei, are you the one isekai-ing us???

- *deep breath* Okay. I’m calling it now. There’s something Ralsei isn’t telling us. I joked earlier about how he wants to bake us into cakes and eat us, but to be clear, I think whatever’s going on here is more complicated than “Ralsei was the bad guy all along”. I get the feeling that Ralsei’s desire for friendship, especially towards Kris, is very genuine. It’s just... this whole situation is reminding me of Asriel’s deal in Undertale. Fitting considering the whole anagram situation... I wonder how Deltarune!Asriel is going to play into this.

- Okay, back to more current stuff in the game. I met up with Roulsx Kaard (idc how to spell it) again and he’s facing me in... the thrashing machine I made in the first chapter. I’m serious. Same color and everything, holy shit.

- behold the majesty

- COMETH FORTH, MY SQUEAKY DUCKY!!!

- ...whut?

- this is excellent. I’m going to die of excellent.

- ohh, now he’s gonna transform... aaaaand...

- oh. ... you know, I wondered when it was gonna catch up to him?

- ice cold, Ralsei. Ice cold.

- “Why don’t we close our eyes and imagine how she’s doing now” Just like last game... is Ralsei actually activating some kind of power when this happens?

- “I wish Dess could see this”? I knew it! I’m on to something!

- taking a moment to acknowledge the shipping energy in the air

- Noelle (paraphrased): “Where are we, anyway?” Me: say “Dark World” Susie: “You’re just having a dream” Again with Susie thwarting player intentions...

- .. a heart-covered Ferris Wheel. Okay, Toby Fox, we’re doing this now!

- Susie has a tail???

- BERDLY WHAT

- And again, we return from a Susie Sequence to Ralsei apparently explaining something to Kris and finishing with a variation of “so that’s why-” before getting cut off by Susie. What are you explaining, Ralsei.

- Checked a calendar in Noelle’s palace room. “Every page is the last month, every day is the 25th”... what??

- another banger of a final battle!! let’s do this!!!

- See, I had a feeling that the Queen didn’t actually want to hurt anybody, but she has a... funny... idea of what constitutes helping. It clicks with her being basically a personified search engine - she literally wants nothing more than to give people what they want and make them happy, but she’s not always great at figuring that out based on what they search. She mentions Noelle’s “sad and lonely searches”... Noelle, honey, are you ok?

- Excuse me, Queen, this Dark World was created *today*? ... And it was created by the Knight... and I already suspect that Ralsei is “isekai-ing” us... Ralsei, are you the knight?

- New important info: “Lightners” are apparently necessary to create Dark Fountains due to their determination, and unlike Undertale, determination isn’t exclusive to humans

- BERDLY!!! BERDLY IS PUTTING THAT REDEMPTION ARC TO GOOD USE!!!

- ...

... this game just became perfect

- Oh hey, White Diamond, what’s up?

- “Oh Damn I Did Not Know That” WELL NOW YOU TELL US, RALSEI!

- Susie doesn’t have a tail? Make up your mind, game!!!

- Phew. Okay. Okay. The actual game part is over. Time to process some thoughts...

- So we’ve seen two Dark Worlds so far, Lancer’s world based on games (cards, checkers, etc) and the Queen’s world based on computers and the internet. The running theme I notice so far is escapism. During her fight, the Queen monologued about a desire to fulfill the desires of people who turn to the internet to dull their pain or look for new distractions. And as for Lancer’s world... well, it’s implied to literally be made of abandoned toys. Both of them things people turn to when they need a little entertainment or escapism to avoid their real-life problems for a bit. And I think it’s been mentioned that Darkners are essentially made to serve Lightners; perhaps helping them cope with the difficulties of life? 

Even putting aside the symbolism here, Susie and Kris literally escaped to this world to blow off their classwork, and Susie in particular seems to think the Dark World is better than anything in the Light World. In the final battle, Susie, Noelle, AND Berdly were all just about to open up a Dark Fountain themselves and make themselves better lives in the Dark World and only stopped when Ralsei very firmly informed them about the Roaring. Is this going to come up again? Are these kids going to struggle with the temptation to abandon their real lives to go play eternally in the Dark World?

And isn’t that just a perfect microcosm of the relationship that people have with video games in general - including this one? The perfect opportunity to just forget about your own life for a bit and temporarily live in a different world altogether, one with battles and magic and adventure?

Just what the fuck is going on here, Ralsei? Was I too quick to accuse him of being a secret villain earlier? Is Ralsei just trying to get us to process our shit in the Dark World, and then destroy it so we move on to the Light World with renewed hope in life? .. or is he just trying to make himself the center of our fantasies?

- HOLY SHIT THE QUEEN IS HERE! THE QUEEN IS HERE AND SHE’S GONNA BE A MOM FOR LANCER!!! (or “girldad” as Lancer puts it)

- ...have the Queen and King met? I mean, it would make sense, but they haven’t been mentioned as having a relationship of any kind or even knowing each other. Is this another Toriel/Asgore kind of situation?

- HOLY SHIT I KNEW IT SHE IS HIS MOM

- So I’m just talking to NPCs around Castle Town, right, and I meet up with Seam again. He just told me to be careful not to stay in there too late and that I don’t want to get caught when the sun goes down... DAFUQ YOU MEAN, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN???

- This is wonderful, I’m now witnessing Toriel and Sans having a joke-off in person.

- (Sees Kris going in to wash their hands) (Hears Toriel say “they do that sometimes”) ...so Kris has like... a condition? The heart-ripping thing has happened before?

- (Sees last thing before credits) ...okay then!!! I think that’s all the things I can get into one post, haha! Forgot to mention some things, but I can only type so much!!! Can’t wait to talk about this later, haha!!! (holy shit)

cathper replied to your post: cathper replied to your post: ...

i would love to hear them

ok! little ralsei-related ?? snippets i noticed

obv the anagram that everyone and their mom noticed, but i like to think of ralsei as his own person, related to asriel in an AU/extension kind of way

i mean he does have colored horns, which boss monsters don’t have, but then there’s the speculation on them being related to kris’s fake red horns they wore as a kid

big shoutout to uuuuuuh the delta rune symbol being super important both here and in undertale

more asriel-related things are, in the practice fight/tutorial ralsei sets up for u he says almost the same exact lines as flowey does when he first shows u the battlebox in undertale. he also seems to have fire-related healing magic which is boss monster-related. 

he ALSO sings as one of his spells- father alvin the preacher in hometown notes that asriel use to sing a lot in the choir.

the fact that ralsei just??? lives in this completely empty village and says he’s always been alone his whole life. did he just raise himself as a baby? did he and the town just manifest when needed? has his own timeline been reset in a way he doesn’t remember something???

his castle is just like on the edge of this fucked up oily silent dark world whats up with that. NOTHING living or sentient seems to exist here and it seems ancient with the eye glyphs but the metallic wiggly things are??? its completely detached in terms of atmosphere and appearance to the card land (or whatev u wanna call it).

he DEFINITELY knows somethings up with the whole “player possessing” theory. he gives u a manual which u (the player) can’t read. it says something like “its too dense for you to make out”. the manual is still in the files and had something that REALLY stood out to me

“seizure” first comes up in the vessel creator*** and in this case seems to stand for it’s definition of “to control or use by force”. the “coveted seizure-related” options here are things like game volume etc, things the game characters cant control and undertale didn’t offer, but of course, the player possessing and controlling kris can.

also lightly asriel-related. the manual cover has macaroni art which was in asgore’s castle/home back in undertale as artwork that said “for king dad”, assuming from asriel (chara drew the flower).

another time ralsei seems to notice kris is not themself is in the prison. he’s testing something. first, he asks kris to help susie with a puzzle on the other side of the wall. he KNOWS kris can’t see it. but kris “talks susie through” the puzzle anyways. because the player can see it. so then, no matter what option we make kris say, ralsei will ask us to close our eyes and imagine what susie is doing, prompting us to focus on her and semi-control her for a bit while, i’m assuming, ralsei voices his concerns or questions kris when we can’t hear.

ppl have pointed out that other characters group ralsei in with the lighteners, he’s NEVER called a darkner or calls himself one. i tried to fact-check bc i swear one person might’ve referred to him as a darkner but i can’t find it now. even jevil calls him a lightener and if anyone would know he would.

like ralsei’s entire introduction (if u wanna pick at every single word or phrase, which toby fox just BEGS us to do). the prophecy is “foretold by time and space” didn’t sans and pap refer to this? “is he pranking you across time and space?” “a massive anomaly in the timespace continuum”. also, does ralsei ever directly refer to himself as the prince from the prophecy?? does he just insert himself???? someone else pointed out it could be lancer, an actual prince from the dark.

when u return to hometown/lightener’s world and you show up in the unused classroom, the whole card land is shown as toys and boards and stuff.... but the locked door is the great door and where ralsei is from??? is the pitch black supply closet with no form.

the only thing that would support ralsei being a darkener is his manual stating the darkness gives him his form- but does he just not know any better, or does everything living in the darkner world just have to rely on the fountains?

*** i have like a whole book on vessel creator theories too half of them came up just typing this out 

BUT THATS JUST A THEORY A GAME THEORY

[azuresquirrel]

Mr Fox, you will pay for my therapy (BIG SPOILERS)

So multiple choice, which of all that was the most upsetting

The entire ‘vessel creation’

it’s only you

your choices don’t matter

realizing halfway through what fucking anagrams are

Undyne saying “WHO’S ALPHYS”

the distant trousling of bones (LET ME!!!! SEE!!!!! MY SON!!!!!!!!)

‘we’ve never met before’ don’t fuck with me, sans

knowing that Toby designed all these new characters with the full, horrible knowledge that people are going to absolutely write and draw about fucking them (sorry but you know I’m right)

THAT. ENDING. (??????????????????????????)

Toby lists his location online as Boston so he is either lying or I have shared a train car with this man who has personally fucked with me repeatedly through the medium of video games

The answer is all of the above

[bloodborne-on-pc]

Sooo how ‘bout that Deltarune?

Imma be straight with y’all, I’ve never even played Undertale. I just heard that the dude who made it had a new game, and it was free to download, so I downloaded it. ‘Cause I heard Undertale was good, so I figured this new game was gonna be good. And it was. But I’m pretty sure it’s related to Undertale somehow. I dunno how - probably doesn’t help that I haven’t played Undertale yet - but I’m thinking it is. It’s got some of the same people, like Toriel the goat mom, and the skeleton that everyone’s horny on main for, and a few other folks - just characters I ended up being aware of due purely to how much people talk about it, making not knowing of at least a few of them basically impossible. And I imagine at least a few, if not most or all, of the other characters, are also in Undertale. So, pretty sure this game is related to Undertale, but no idea as to how, exactly. Probably a sequel, but maybe Toby Fox decided to pull a George Lucas and make a prequel. Or maybe it’s some kind of alternate universe. I dunno.

But I think I got the bad ending. I know UT had multiple endings, so I’m guessing this one also does, and I just finished my first playthrough. I pretty much went out of my way to not kill anything, and I largely succeeded. I think I might have killed one by accident, but aside from that, I didn’t really kill anybody - well, the King, but I even tried to be nice to him until the game straight up told me “you cannot reason with him”. Then I died, then I came back and beat the snot out of him. I tried really, really hard to be a decent person, but the ending just seemed really sinister. Like, it was pretty innocent at first, just walking around town chatting with people, giving Toriel the goat mom flowers, and going to bed for a bit so I could have some pie. But then, I see Kris trembling in bed, and then he throws himself out, and walks to the center of the room like a zombie. At first, I think, “Oh, he’s just having a nightmare”. BUT THEN HE RIPS OUT HIS OWN HEART AND CHUCKS IT INTO THE BIRDCAGE. Then he just pulls a knife out of nowhere, and smiles evilly, and his eyes are glowing red. Then the credits roll and then it’s like “The story continues in Chapter 2.” Actually I forget which of those two happened first, I was still in shock from watching a pixelated child tear his own heart out

Like, what the fuck? What did I do wrong? Did I do anything wrong? Does killing even one(1) enemy ruin the ending? Is this the only ending? Don’t actually like, tell me though - I’m gonna play through it again to see what happens. The next playthrough I’m probably just gonna kill everything, and make Ralsei disappointed in me. And only now am I realizing that’s an anagram of “Asriel”. Which is just raising even more questions I don’t feel like asking. I’ll, uh, report back on what happens after I finish the murder spree.

[thegeminisage]

HI OH MY FUCKING GOD SORRY ONE MORE POST

I WAS THINKING THAT IT WAS REALLY FUNNY THAT DELTARUNE WAS ONE WORD ON TOBY’S TITLE SCREEN

AND THEN I REALIZE WHY

IT’S LIKE FRISK AND KRIS

LIKE ASRIEL AND RALSEI

IT’S A FUCKING ANAGRAM: FOR: UNDERTALE

I AM LOSING MY MIND TOBY FOX WERE YOU PLANNING THIS FOR ACTUAL LITERAL YEARS???

[theunamazingginger]

DELTARUNE SPOILERS

Ok. So, Undertale 2, aka Deltarune Chapter One, is out? For free? On Deltarune.Com?

I've played it, and HOLY FUCK, I am so sorry to Toby Fox, but I cannot wait 24 hours.

Asriel was my favourite Undertale character. Now, we play as Kris, who is apparently a younger, human brother to Asriel? In a new timeline where Asriel is alive? And in University on the Surface?

You then descend into The world of the Darkners, where the Darkners live, and you are introduced to my fluffy cuddly adorable innocent friend, Ralsei. FIRST thing I noticed? Ralsei is an anagram of Asriel. When he had a hood over his face, I SO expected that hood to reveal a goat boi, but instead? It reveales a fluffy black and green cutie, still referred to as male, idk about the official gender? He wears a dress, but refers to himself as male, which is what confuses me. So, he is a fluffy boy, who refers to himself as a Prince, and has an Asriel anagram as a name.

Now- as you get to the end of the Darkners land, Ralsei makes another change. He takes off his hat and scarf revealing he IS a white furred goat monster.

He still isn't asriel however. He's much to short, considering Asriel is apparently old enough to be a University student, and the protagonist, Kris, isn't even out of school yet.

Plus, in my opinion Toby Fox has made specific feminine features to Ralsei's face to differentiate him from Asriel.

And of course, since Kris doesn't recognize him as looking even SIMILAR to asriel? We can presume asriel looks very different.

Overall? I can't wait until chapter 2 comes out, and GOD DAMN THAT POSSIBLE CHARA APPEARANCE AT THE END THAT WAS HINTED AT THROUGH THE ENTIRE GAME

You are told at the start not to create a character, but to create a VESSEL. You are then told your choices don't matter, and you're playing as Kris. This means Kris is a VESSEL to something else, not a character.

Then at the end... Kris rips out his own soul, throws it in a birdcage, and he has brown hair, red eyes, chara's tshirt, a knife, ans an unearthly grin? I'd say we've seen Chara in Deltarune Now.

Anyway, Great game, can't wait for ch. 2, and I hope that's free as well because I have 0 munz.

[a-girl-called-bob]

It took me until this fucking moment 30 hours after beating Delta Rune to realise that Ralsei is an anagram of Asriel, despite the fact that that is just toby fox being on his usual bullshit

[phonepastry]

Ok so Im back and ho boy!! This theory!! Is awful!!

Ok so I'm just gonna compress the arguements I made on a comment on this video, but these are baiscally his arguements and my reasonings for why this is Dumb

Be Warned For Big Deltarune Spoilers

I'm gonna start this out by mentioning he went on and on about how many people were mad at him for saying Ralsei was revealed as a girl, and how everyone was gonna be sooo "triggered" for this video, and he ended up saying he'd be crucified like Jesus or some shit. Got annoying real fast.

Ok, to the points.

• Ralsei is not Asriel

Well... duh. This one actually makes sense. Asriel is in college, and Ralsei is a being down in the Dark World. Ralsei may be a boss monster, but that doesn't mean he's Asriel, even with the anagram. Still uh. It never gets better than this.

• Susie Reacts Weird to Ralsei Taking His Hat Off Because She's Been "Assuming" He's a Boy But Now Sees He's a Girl

Hm. Hey, what the fuck? For starters, Toby Fox would never misgender a character, like, EVER, and this guy has the gall to say that there's no way she's shocked that he's a boss monster because she... knows Toriel. Ok. We can all agree that you'd be shocked too if your travelling companion took off his hat and his black fur was suddenly white? I can explain another time why I think that whole thing happened but its midnight and I'm tired so let's keep going.

• Ralsei Was Lying About Being a "Prince" Because Lancer is The Prince of Darkness

Ughhhhhhhhh. Ok so. His justification was that we don't see any boss monsters locked up in jail with the other suit kings, so he isn't a prince at all, and Lancer is more likely the prince of darkness. However.....

Ralsei has his own goddamned kingdom, Castle Town.

His subjects have all fled, but he has his own castle, town, shop, and, if you want to count it, its own spewing geyser behind a castle. The kingdom Lancer belongs to is the Card kingdom, which used to have 4 rulers until King Spade locked up the other 3. Given how empty Castle Town is, it was likely already ransacked or had prepared for it and fled, leaving Ralsei behind. Ralsei's "parents" would not need to be locked up because they have no power over the Card kingdom anyway.

Also Lancer is literally in the prophecy as a seperate character, the spade shaped darkener next to the Kris shaped lightener. It's mentioned if you skip the prophecy, when he's trying to explain who he is.

• Kris or the Player is Simply "Assuming" Ralsei is a Boy At The Start

This is it!! The most bullshit excuse! As I mentioned before, Toby Fox would never misgender a character. He is consistent about Frisk and Chara's they/them pronouns, as well as Napstablook's and monster kid's, and wouldn't use he/him on Ralsei if he wasn't meant to be a kid identifying as a boy. Ralsei is referred to as a Fluffy Boy. He is the Lonely Prince, the Prince of Darkness, and Toothpaste Boy.

And also, as someone who's like... ftm, the basis of Ralsei secretly being a girl based on such weak defences, especially appearance and the claim that he's somehow lying about being a boy set off some awful dysphoria!

I'd say don't watch this video unless you wanna hear his arguements more in depth. Arguably the worst 12 minutes of my week.

Treesicle going to my personal hit list

[bendablerune]

Also when I say near perfect I mean one letter away.

Just remove the f.

Hey guys I just need to tell you that “Father Alvin” is a near perfect anagram of LEVIATHAN.

Y’know. The biblical sea monster.

Just letting you know.
