So, last post I mentioned Astel being able to Astel Project an image of themselves! To elaborate, they do have an actual physical form but that's up in the same layer of reality Gaster is.

Both the Light and Dark World can only handle small Soul Fragments of the larger deal, so here their true physical form in both worlds is the Red Heart. However, the SOUL can manipulate light, and so Astel uses it to project a version of their true form so they can express themselves.

Only Kris can really see them, alongside a few others.

The Soul typically projects it's true apperance but can take any shape they want. Granted, somethings like the Soul being on the projection somewhere, and the dark parts are constant and appear in every transformation.

*Kris doesn't like them, period. But they do find some forms tolerable.

PRESENTING THE KRIS SPECTRUM OF APPROVAL!

We have

-Don't Care. Literally do not care at all. A lot of Darkner NPCS fall under the list, alongside Jevil. Wanna LARP as a Pippins? Sure. They do not care at all.

-U serious? They don't care enough to stop you but are absolutely judging you. List includes: Berdly, Rouls Kaard, Spamton. I mean, LARPING as the deranged salesman who tried to murder them in the basement is certainly a.. choice? They are kinda uncomfy but don't have the energy to stop you.

-No. Get in the Bird Cage. Ralsei, Susie, Noelle, Toriel, Asriel, Asgore, anyone they care about or has a personal link to them.

Something something, a shoddy patch up work being the result of an eye-opening fight. Because of "losing" someone important or because of facts now engraved in one's mind, maybe neither maybe both.

What's important is that, at least for now...

... a little bit of hope is regained.

"Oz, The Child of Fate"

[As Stars danced across the Eternal Flow of the Night, One seeked to discover what was their own purpose. Choosen to be the vessel of fate itself, to discover what is like to live alongside mortal beings, to choose their fate, but even themself doesn't know that fate itself can lead to unexpected results....]

Anyways, This is the Oz, (Not my First) OC and showcase of his actual design, i'll be soon [or later] posting more of my OCs around here!! Feel Free to ask Questions about them or draw them!!

[losingmymindoverpixelsrn]

This is the player that exists in 55% of Deltarune fanfics/j- Seriously, though, they make Carol feel like a loony toons character and the Knight like an impudent teenager with the kind of aura they're giving off. Like, I need to gush here for a moment- That expression. The way they tower over Kris. The tone. Their utter authority over Kris isn't communicated via an actual possession so much as it is via the body language and tone. The Wings give them this regal, imposing aura that speaks to a level of otherworldiness, which just goes to cement their authority again. The real kicker here is how Kris is taking on the role of a subordinate entirely, not having any of that defiant spark when dealing with us, they do on the normal route. It just makes the player/angel's authority feel that much more absolute and chilling. It reminds me of TVTropes saying that if Kris had an inkling of what the entity controlling them was truly capable of, they'd be much, much more terrified of pissing it off than they are in the main route. The cheerfulness of them saying they should help Berdly with no hint of a double meaning or sarcasm on the panel. It looks like it's friendly. But anyone reading knows the context of the Weird Route, so even if the player/angel looks geuinenly friendly in that panel, the reader's feelings just communicate a sense of dread. We, the audience, know so well that Berdly wouldn't be here were it not for the playe,r which means the panel doesn't even have to communicate any sarcasm or irony- it just rises up to your chest as you read. The expressions also. Man, the expressions. I love how they give off that sense of detachment that the Weird Route is all about. This is someone who's mapped out every inch of this world, so they no longer see the Lightners as people so much as toys to be played around with and tugged at I tip my hat to you OP, this is a work of art.

The lore implications of this are wild. (also sneak peak of my Battat design!)

Bonus: the aftermath

The way his mind would explode if he got to talk to the player and realized a lot of us have no thoughts other than "funny green pippins should do sex with tv man"

this scene

[losingmymindoverpixelsrn]

the problem with Toriel discourse is that there’s a faction that keeps shooting down the idea of her doing anything wrong because they reduce any criticism of her behavior to “fandom misogyny” but at the same time there’s another faction that are acting like Susie and Kris walked in on her and Sans snorting lines of coke

[losingmymindoverpixelsrn]

*It's Angel. It's the Puppet Master. It's YOU.* Making my own Deltarune Soulsona! Their name is Astel, sorta going on what I put in the creator name. Their design is something they created themselves, after gaining awareness. They're not quite the player; more so an echo of them left in the program, which has gained a will of its own. But even then, the world treats them like the player, and they still consider themselves to be the player. The way this works is that they came into being after the program was left closed for a while, but the player was attached enough to Deltarune that this manifestation of them formed within the world. Whenever the player reopens the game, the two become one, but when the game is closed, Astel exists in the world and can interact with its characters. So they're not exactly the IRL world player, moreso an echo of them left in the game who treats themselves like they are the player.

The dialogue in the image above in case it's a bit hard to read: During the Knight Fight, Astel realizes Kris is sabotaging their attempts to win. *' KRIS!! BUDDY!! WORK WITH ME HERE!!!!' (That's what I was yelling during my 39th attempt at the Knight Fight.) The clock halo thing: Yeah, Gaster made it on Astel's behest. They're very proud of it even if they didn't do any of the work. It's an ornamental piece purely designed to be cool looking and intimidating. The explanation for how the Soul's appearance works: The Soul typically astral projects a desired form in the Light World, and they can be very fluid with it, but their true form is up in the layer of reality where Gaster is. Their possession of the SOUL is just a part of them.

Some extra stuff! -They go by any pronouns! I mean, they don't really associate any particular gender identity with themselves, and whatever people decide to use just works with them. They find themselves using They/Them the most, given they hear most people refer to them via talking to the possessed!Kris, so that set of Pronouns is the first to come to their mind. That being said, due to being an echo of a real person, they'll occasionally try He/Him or She/Her. Overall, they're fine with whatever people want to refer to them as. -Their voice is like three voices layered atop each other, creating a lot of reverb and echo. They have absolute control over how the voice can sound. -He's a pacifistic player, but mainly because he finds the endings of pacifism runs more fun. Whenever violence is a valid option, they will take it. -That being said, Snowgrave and the Weird Route is a bridge too far, so they're fine with just watching that on the internet -They're fond of all characters- yes, even Berdly. 'There's nothing wrong with him, even if he has the social skills of a crab'. -She's a lot more snarky and deadpan, given this is far from her first time going through the world of Deltarune. She's also prone to choosing meaner options of dialogue purely for the lols, or embrassing Kris on Tenna's Pop Quiz by choosing wrong answers. That being said, she still draws a line at stuff like 'Good, keep smiling.' -When there's downtime, they often find themselves hanging out with the MysteryVoiceTM (look, it's just friggin Gaster) at a layer of reality above the light world. These conversations are never particularly lore relevant, but they both mutually enjoy having someone to talk too. -They don't particularly miss the vessel right now, but they do wonder what the hell happened to it. SOUL and Kris specific

-The SOUL being able to talk outside of dialogue boxes came as an absolute jumpscare to Kris, but now hearing the entity controlling them be suddenly chatty just reinforces their annoyance with the SOUL. They still don't like the entity that much at all.

-Absolutely will get sassy with Kris, who obviously doesn't like them all that much. They're not exactly gonna take repeatedly being thrown into cages, cabinets, or hit with a hockey stick lying down. -That being said, he does get why Kris doesn't like them, and doesn't really resent them for any of the above. What annoys him the most is being yeeted around like a cheap plastic ball. 'You do realize this hurts you more than it does me, right?' -She will also critique Kris going behind their friends' backs via working with the Knight and Carol or hiding the bunker code. 'Even if I don't have much of a right to judge you... Don't say I didn't warn you when this blows up in your face.' -Every time they get a prompt like 'Let's just close our eyes and wonder how Susie's doing!' They groan because it's such a painfully obvious trick to divert their attention, but they click 'yes' every time because they know Kris needs a break for them as much as possible. -Secretly hopes one day they can be friends with Kris ~And that's all for now, folks!~

I imagine if I write any Deltarune Fanfics, they'll probably be starring as the player in those. I also wanted them to have a personality that's a bit more than just being nice to everyone, sorta capturing the detachment of an entity that's kinda trapped in the game and more or less knowing the consequences of every action about now. They're also a bit more of a little shit with Kris to reflect that a perspective of a player who didn't really ask for this, and is well aware of the fact Kris is using them as a pawn, even if they don't resent Kris for it, and still like them. Like, the Astel here has their own sense of personhood, so they will get blatantly annoyed when that's glossed over or disrespected. (And yes, they are very aware that's kinda hypocritical considering how their relationship with Kris usually pans out because even if they didn't ask for it, they are ultimately the thing suppressing Kris's autnomy and sense of self. Hence why they never actually get mad at Kris, only ever annoyed). They'd probably float into a bird cage if Kris asked politely,

[losingmymindoverpixelsrn]

Honestly, I've always gotten the vibe that Carol is actually a fair bit nicer once you get to know her. She's pretty nice to Asgore considering he just ate her whole snack tray and her only response is '...If you're gonna do that at least do it outside.' I read that as her wanting her house to herself and not wanting a mess when Asgore just cleaned the place. Considering the guy doesn't really have anything to eat most the time and Carol would probably know that, this is pretty sweet of her. Plus, she did let Kris come over when they were younger and also visted the Dreemurr Household before Dess vanished, doing a lot of normal family stuff presumably. Not to mention Dess was able to customize her room to her heart's content under Carol and Rudy found someone worth loving in her.

She's certainly flawed and still osteinsibly one of the main villians and antagonists and she could DEFINITELY be treating Noelle a lot better, but I feel like some people take her to be irredemably evil when I doubt that's the case. (Granted,Mrs. 'POLICE...SACRIFICE...NEXT WEEK' does not do much to help her case). I mean, she's still leagues better then Flowey in Undertale and even Flowey learnt to change for the better.

carol being the main breadwinner/decision-maker of the family is such an interesting character trait to me because it implies that she just buys her daughters whatever they want? dess couldn't have been older than college aged when she vanished and yet she has dozens of musical instruments, an excess of shoes, hockey sticks, a computer of her own, even weed just laying around. and carol clearly is protective over this stuff too, or at least she is over the guitar. that's not even getting into noelle's room. just colors their relationship in a really fascinating way.
