that's what I think, right now. the prophecy just didn't account for a girl like susie, girls like her do show up in JRPGs but theyre almost never the "lead" girl (and if they are they might become less tough and more feminine over time). I know a lot of people think noelle must be the "true" girl but when I look at all the evidence it just seems more likely to be a role meant for susie all along, that she just doesn't fit into quite right.

my current theory is that susie really is the destined girl, but weird route is about forcing noelle to take her place in order to unlock the "forbidden path".

I wanted to make a post compiling all the examples of something @krispdreemurr was talking about on their blog yesterday:

1. Hometown's internet has been down for the past few days

2. Tenna hasn't been receiving broadcasts of any new stuff for "a little while"

3. Though Gerson has been dead for a few years, the Booms only stopped receiving condolences for his passing "just recently"

What these together suggest: Hometown is, as of recently, not receiving any information from the outside world. It's not just that the town's Internet and TV/radio infrastructure is bad — taking the third point into account, it's not just those signals that aren't coming in, but also, presumably, physical letters. There's something weirder going on here. But why? Why now?

Well. You know what else has changed "recently"?

To put it plainly, Hometown losing its connections to the outside world coincides with the plot getting kicked into motion. It in fact is half the spark for Queen's villain era, and plays a part in Tenna's desperation as well; it is arguably a requirement for the prophecy playing out as it does. But where in the Chapter 2 days some made the argument that the Knight deliberately cut the Internet as part of their plans, what Tenna and (in retrospect) Alvin's lines imply is something bigger than they likely could have done themself. Which suggests one of two things:

A) Some higher power (Gaster) cut off this instance (or rather, taking the three save files with their small hardwired differences into account, these three instances) of Hometown from the rest of the world as part of the setup for making the current states of things, our interacting with it as a video game, possible

B) There was never a world outside Hometown; it's always been, diegetically, a simulation, with the town's borders as its limits. And now that it's time for The Game, The Story of DeltaRune, to begin, the energy being used to keep up the illusion for its inhabitants that there's more out there has been redirected to more pertinent purposes.
