Kris specifically intended to start weird route to get the thorn ring, but abort before the Berdly fight.

Lemme explain. This does pertain to the new chapters.

Even before these latest chapters came out, I’ve noticed… things. Firstly, the fact that you could get the thorn ring and abort weird route before bringing it to fruition was already suspect. Secondly… there’s something about the dialog prompts in Deltarune. Specifically the ones with two responses. And it’s this:

The right side choice is Kris’ intended response. The left side choice… I guess we’ll call that the soul’s choice. Kind of a wild thing to just claim in brief, I know, but bear with me.

At first in weird route its like, we’re just beboppin’ along, picking the dick responses cuz its fun/interesting to see what happens with them.

But then we get to this prompt after the electric barrier button puzzle thing.

Now, the right side choice is the correct one to continue the route. Kris now has input in the route.

From there, it’s the “Proceed” prompts.

Interesting how this is where the soul responses suddenly get really apologetic. But that’s beside the point. Kris is hitting the gas hard on weird route here, all of a sudden.

After this is when you get the rest of the darkner freezing done, and then get the thorn ring, and then face Berdly. But here’s what’s always bothered me, and part of why I’m saying left vs right matters:

Why is “proceed” inconsistently on the left side all of a sudden? Also, what is up with “I’m protecting her from you!” When was that established? To me that’s always felt like a weak justification for… whatever is actually happening here in Kris’ brain. Being on the right side, it’s Kris saying it. And it’s the option that aborts the route, with the thorn ring still in your possession.

Weird route is, in it’s totality, basically DR’s genocide route equivalent, I think we can agree on that. But if that’s the case… then why is there currently at least TWO instances of the regular playthrough having a character say something that actually directs you to do weird route? Spamton in chapter 2, if you beat his first fight with violence, he says

"WHEN KIDS LIKE YOU ARE [Beating People Up],

[Spitting] IN THEIR EYES, THROWING SAND IN THEIR [Face],

[Stomping] ON THEIR TOES, YANKING THEIR [Noses],

AND NOT EVEN GIVING THEM A SINGLE CENT FOR IT!?

YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE ALL THAT EARLIER!

AND BEEN THE FIRST TO OWN MY [Commemorative Ring]

TOO BAD! SEE YOU KID!"

And then in the chapter 3 shadow mantle side quest, in the ice dungeon, there’s that one room with text that says

If weird route was intended as a “you’re supposed to choose not to do this” kind of option like genocide was, you’d think the game wouldn’t outright encourage it, right? The only way I can really square that is that the game DOES want you to start weird route, but only to a point.

The egg room in chapter 4 interests me in this. Namely in this part while Kris is drawing:

Why does Kris seem okay with doing weird route up to a point, but then seem absolutely infuriated about it in chapter 4? Why do they seem… not necessarily evil, but quite jaded and not really interested in darkners?

This game is moving in a direction of asking us to find a particular sequence of chapter save files that are completed in a particular manner, in order to accomplish… something, we can’t really know yet. But it’s something.

And Kris knows the proper sequence already, and knows what the end goal is. And god knows how long they’ve been fucking around with all this to figure that out. It’s no wonder they’d cease caring about peripheral details.

What would you do

What would you do if you showed up for a date with me, and instead of a guy like I said in my dating profile, I was a small injured deer?

And you asked me why I didn't say I was a small injured deer in my profile, and I said I was worried you would hate me for being so small and injured?

And then I got a salad and slowly nibbled on it, flapping my ears while you told me about warhammer 40 thousand. And then when it came time to split the bill, I told you I had no money because I'm a creature of a forest, but that I would pay you for my portion in song?

And so I sat up on my hind legs, and sang the most beautiful sonata you've ever heard in your life. I sang of the valleys and the rivers. In the first part of the song, you could hear my voice waver from the pain of my injury. But then it crescendoed with fire and determination, as if in the middle of that very song I decided that I must keep living no matter what happens, and that you must keep living too?

Then, when you came back to your senses from being entranced by the beauty of the song, there were tears streaming down your face? I was nowhere to be seen, leaving behind only a single autumn leaf on the table? You looked down at your hands, and in your hands was a small note with your childhood dream you had long forgotten on it, written by your own hand?

What would you do?

Would you be mad?

Couldn't have said it better myself

Hi Lavender,

It seems you want to play the victim and send "anonymous" hate into people's inboxes and I've tried really hard to be supportive and guide you in some pseudo-soft parent type of way, but I think I really just need to put my foot down here.

1.) What's the point of cutting off people who only ever helped you? Why take constructive criticism as an attack when you've recognized the pointed-out problems on your own and said that you need to stop those behaviours.

2.) You being a minor does not mean you cannot be held accountable for your words and actions. Your words will still reach ears and your actions will always be the flap of a butterfly's wings. And on this note, you are at an age where you are trusted on the road, with a vehicle, with serving people food, with being in charge of those younger than you. You will not be a minor for much longer and you have a lot of growing up to do.

3.) You're nowhere near as slick as you think you are. Posting some "I am God and people must repent" bullshit is so fucking stupid on so many levels. You posted that literally right after you blocked people as if no one would put two and two together. Also, this is really just a bullshit way of highlighting just how fucked up your self-perception is. You're not God, a deity, or some other perfect being; you're just a dude who pushes everyone who supports you away for the sake of dramatic self-isolationism.

4.) I know you've been faking DID/OSDD. We've known and I refused to believe it because I cared about you like you were my daughter. I've spent time and money trying to make sure that you had a safe place to be if things with your parents got any worse. Now I don't really know whether I should have believed anything you said at all. I trusted you with family losses and you just threw everything away for your own self-centred attention-seeking.

If you can help, I desperately need it!

To make a long story short, I am not in a good place in general. I had to stay with family during covid, and its not an emotionally healthy place at all. I'm constantly judged and watched wherever I go, what I eat, how much i eat, how much I'm working/helping out. And jts always never enough

My mental health has nosedived to rock bottom. I haven't drawn or written in I don't even know long, and I don't wanna get out of bed to face the scrutiny anymore

I have been threatened with homelessness constantly for the past month and a half, but now it's finally happening. I have been given to the end of August to move

I have a job and I'm trying to save, but there's nobway I'm going to have enough in time to move

So please. I need your help.

asexuals before realizing they’re ace: isn’t it weird how we call people “hot” when we just mean, like, pretty? it makes it sound like you actually feel hot when you see them. which isn’t a thing. anyway
