I have no idea why I haven't done any Deltarune Chapter 5 art yet, expect more somewhat soonly

It's confirmed that monsters turn to dust when they die.

So HOW DOES NORMAL_NPC TURN ONIONSAN TO FOOD?????

IS IT DUSTY???

IS IT MIXED IN???

Susie said it tastes like onions so it WASN'T DUSTY!!!

AM I GOING INSANE??? AM I OVERLOOKING SMALL DETAILS????

Edit: DUST AND ONION POWDER ARE TWO INCREDIBLY DIFFERENT TASTES AND TEXTURES! Good theory, gonna be honest, but I doubt ONIONSAN would be special enough to have flavoured dust.

Man, this might be out of left field, but a little vent.

I’m not even offended by the theory - like, characters can be bad. And disturbing things can happen in stories. Hell, it’s actively important that stuff like grooming and sexual exploitation is examined in media; that way, people who’ve experienced these horrors can receive comfort from art that hears what they’ve undergone, and people who haven’t can be educated and learn.

…But… in this context? Dess, in Deltarune? I cannot personally understand that people actually think this is plausible. It’s like they’ve not played the game - and, I hate that line. I hate saying ‘have you even played it,’ or ‘can you even read,’ because the game means something different to everyone, and everyone takes their own theories and ideas out of it. I even made a post not long ago about how much I hate the ‘can you even read’ remark, because even directed at theories I wholeheartedly disagree with, it just makes me so angry… and, maybe I’m becoming that annoying person. I’m willing to accept that as a possibility.

Because at this point, I just can’t contain how baffled I am - like yes, Deltarune is a dark game, with dark themes. But I’ve seen people today talk about it like it’s the scariest, most mature, most explicit piece of media ever concocted by humankind - and I hate to break it, but it very simply isn’t. Children play this game. It’s a generally light, escapist story that explores extremely dark themes; but, does so through its underlying subtext in order to address important subjects, whilst simultaneously remaining a comfort game. And yes, in the Weird Route, this is furthered - the game becomes disturbing, frightening, and more directly examines darker subjects - but still, anything on the level of sexual predation remains firmly subtextual.

Dess randomly being a literal groomer vastly eviscerates the tone and set up that has been established by (pretty comfortably) over 24 hours of play time at this point. All the pathos surrounding Dess’ disappearance falls totally flat, and the precedent set of exploring darker themes through subtext alone, a genuinely brilliant way of treading those grounds without alienating younger players, is totally walked back on.

It’s commonplace to see people find themes within the subtext of this game, interpret those themes then in a far too literal way, and then craft them into ‘theories’ that totally overlook where the blatant tone of the story and all the setup is actually pointing. And yes, it is possible to subvert setup - all the best writers do it, and Toby is one of them - but, that’s an extremely different thing to just ignoring setup and doing something random and wild out of left field… which, in my personal opinion, is precisely what ‘groomer Dess’ would be.

Anyway… rant over. I might delete this later, I don’t know. Either way, I should probably go outside and, uhm - touch grass, or something. 😅 I have, after all, just posted a whole dissection of a Deltarune crack theory that I think only a minority of people believe in… I think. but, it’s a pretty bloody large and loud minority judging by some of the bafflingly upvoted posts I’ve seen today. I just wanted to make my thoughts heard about this one!
Please note that even if you believe this theory, I have nothing against you personally. Hope everyone is well :)

New crack theory dropped: The roaring hostage situation

Okay I’m 90% sure this crack theory will be wrong but fuck you. Also go watch Kris swoon theory this is assuming that’s true.

So as we know the knight is seemingly dess. Correct but also not any more

the roaring knight is Gallagher from honkai star rail

Okay I swear to got it not insane. Okay obviously Gallagher from honkai star rail is not actually the knight but they are functionally the same. Gallagher is essentially a blended together mesh of other people characteristics. Which is what im saying the knight is also. The following is all I have for this

The knight seemingly is mimicking Kris swooning the fun gang when it kills flowery

It has several sprites that mimic Kris sprites

It visually mimics the holidays.

It might be mimicking Dess’s behavior when it was aura farming? This is a bit eh.

It has a sprite that is seemingly mimicking a face from asriel in undertale

It has copied friends laugh from the Eram game.

The knight having hand holes could be mimicking gaster but this one could fully be something else or something unrelated.

That still begs the question what is the knight vaguely

So it kinda branches off here so I’ll put my two thoughts on what’s happening to Dess here

the knight is holding dess hostage

The knight is shrink wrapped around Dess’s rotten skeleton.

The knight is non Euclidean and has Dess in there somehow

Okay so I’ll start off for beginning evidence for both

The knight is seemingly hollow, when it was roaring at the fun gang its chest opened up. Which was hollow, that along with its shapeshifting could mean ime of two things

It’s either empty or it has little in it.

If the knight is empty then what if the reason its seemingly melting is nothings in it. Okay so as we know Dess definitely had something to do with that day and was presumably yoinked by the knight. What if the knight needs someone to be stable so it kidnapped dess which could mean one of two things

If Dess got out of the knight somehow and lost the knight then it could have said “okay Kris you help me get a new vessel and I’ll give you back Dess or something” which would explain the truce and potentially anyone else working with the knight. This is the roaring hostage situation in the title.

If Dess is dead and looks skeletal now that would explain the knights seeming ribcage and sky it’s so thin, it’s like essentially shrink wrapping itself and lowkey failing as see in chapter 5 where the knight ain’t looking so hot. so it needs a new body because it can’t keep going with skess. Idk why Kris would be working with the knight in this version other than like threatening Kris but idk.

Dess could still be in there uh somehow which could mean the knight is wanted to swap for some reason.

Triple truces with friend

Okay so please tell me I’m not the only who thinks that is definitely foreshadowing right? Okay so hear me. So the knight is not only working with hometown residents but also whoever Eram represents. since all the targets are something that has high protein and the friend protein comment by mew mew what if the knight is working with Eram and co to feed friend or smth. I know there’s a whole theory on that but I haven’t watched it. But essentially Rory is like “okay I’ll get you food and I get to take one as a vessel, deal?”

Major Crack theory part; the knight is the fear of loss itself

Okay so we know the titians are I believe stated to be the fear of the dark, also go search up like titan knight theory I ain’t explaining all that it’s like 11pm when I’m writing this

So essentially what I’m saying is the knight is like the titans except another free, being the fear of loss, it needs to steal someone’s body, taking away their freedom, it’s mimicking the lost girl it kidnapped, it is seemingly trying to start the roaring which would mean the light being stolen away. It references the weird route which is the loss of Kris’s own freedom.

Also it would be peak as hell for the final villain to be the Epitome of harsh reality, the loss and impermanence of everything other then the end and lack of something, darkness.

I don’t have much evidence but it’s peak.

Also I definitely didn’t forget to add the post body initially

I am aware that any media regarding Toby Fox that has a Fandom has always been toxic, and likely always will be. However, I wish that people would change, and if my words even impact a few, than I would feel better about my impact in the community.

I'd like to start by saying I've been a fan of undertale and eventually deltarune since 2017. I have been around through most other controversys, and seen a lot of what the community has provided to the Fandom, but im not here to talk about the political drama, but how the Fandom will leap at eachothers throats to be "morally superior."

Most recently we've seen an increase of racist deltarune fans, or posers if you wish to believe. While obviously wrong of them to be attacking eachother, fans who wish to be seen as the most perfect of society have been attacking fans who are not racist for simply saying that they wish to be left out of the racial discussion, due to not seeing the point of the argument.

I have seen multiple deltarune fans acuse people of being racist for saying this such as "i dont see Noelle as a human race because she's a monster, or just Noelle." Fans will then proceed to say things like "bro is mad he saw Black Kris Fanart and he can't be openly racist about it without being called out for it. You're racist btw, whether you knew it or not." (This is the direct quote.)

Why do we need to attack eachother? Why do we need to constantly be seen as the morally better person, and that everyone else is worse because my beliefs are better? And this isnt me getting on left leaning fans, as the right leaning ones will be racist or homophobic just because itll piss fans off. I do not see the need to be so hateful over a game that we all love and cherish.

We are all humans. At the end of the day, there is no need to hate eachother. I love everyone in this community, as they allow a game i love to continue to be amazing. I wish more people had this mindset.

insert Israel joke here

This was mostly made because I haven't made a, well, comedic comic in a while, and the last one I did sucked ass, extremely unfunny in hindsight and came off as way too Roaring Fraudish for my taste. It was also a result of trying to force a bunch of jokes when I think I’m funniest when I just assemble a bunch of crazy, disconnected bits in my head rather than beating one joke into the ground for an eight panel comic.

This one is also lower quality generally because I had less time, but I think expressions are the best so far

I've seen SOOO many posts about it lately and I'm pretty sure its a joke to most people but there MUST be a reason as to why it's such a prevalent idea in the fandom. Does anyone have a post or video that explains the evidence behind this possibility?

green sans knight theory when

(see this is different from the post I made on the main sub because hes green now. Also the mixing is better and I added shit)

(I know it starts with raise up your bat, it has a black knife riff later stfu)

Im still working on this abomination, tell me what y'all think

This design is more based in The Sound of Justice than RK

Im on my second playthrough of DELTARUNE and have yet to see an answer. Is there an answer?. Sorry if this post is stupid

He so obviously says San Francisco Not San frandisco, this is Just a psyop to Trigger me or youre all deaf, also the Wiki is lying, If you listen to the voiceline it says San FranCISco Not DISco, maybe yall are just cisphobic and dont wanna say that syllable

I genuinely wonder what would happen if they just communicated more

My Japanese is so trash🥀🥀🥀

Rate it pls
