The amount of times I've planned a (sort of) plot for those guys in my head is funny.

Also, eldritchrune kris and Ralsei belongs to Lynxgriffin! (I'm not tagging the user because I've already shown them this before)

I feel like they deserve a sleepover. Susie is a better blanket than the actual blanket.

Guess I like this art style—

When I opened my eyes for the first time...

I was floating in a vast and dark void, without any coat, feeling the icy air crashing against my body, not even my soft and lush fur could make the situation less uncomfortable. A kind of cord was coming out of my navel (like babies when they are in their mother's womb) but I could never see the end of it, no matter how hard I tried...something curious, don't you think?

I don't know how long I must have been in there, I stretched myself in various ways for fear of never being able to move again (time is impossible to measure in there, maybe it doesn't even exist)

The darkness was occasionally interrupted by flashes of light in the distance, which caused me a deep sense of uncertainty as I pondered what they might be. On several expeditions through empty space, I eventually found out the hard way...today I wouldn't know whether to laugh about it or not.

I was terrified of wandering to nowhere...anywhere? and that the scant light available would allow me to see something as disgusting and repulsive as body parts (or even whole bodies) floating in nothingness.

Sometimes I think I was just starting to suffer the side effects of spending an eternity alone and others I'm almost certain it wasn't exactly that.

During one desperate occasion I took the infinite cord that was part of me, and since it was so long, I thought I could end my eternal suffering by strangling myself with it, but that didn't work, my rash actions caused it to break; then I was pulled by an invisible force (again) who knows where.

On the way I thought saw someone, or was it another corpse? I doubt it, at the time I swore it was moving too.

Logically afraid of the consequences of my "shenanigans" my second reaction was to (literally) dig my nails into the stranger's leg as soon as I was in range; in response, that person (of unknown gender to me) put up a terrible fight and instead of letting me hold on, they kicked me until I fell again.

And finally I ended up here, in my castle.

At least it's not completely dark, although the constant loneliness really seems to be driving me crazy.

That Deltarune sprite but without reference

[cheesebread-loves-ships]

deltarune spoilers I wanna talk about chapter 4 below is a pretty mundane theory about the knight's identity and their role in the narrative

Just writing some unimportant stuff in this line because Tumblr sucks and sometimes doesn't care about the break anyway let's go

I'm pretty sure at this point (and thus am probably wrong) that the Knight is Dess Holiday, but also that Dess was the original girl hero in the trio that's supposed to save the world.

First thing that catches my eye is the difference between what Ralsei tells us the prophecy is like, and actually seeing the prophecy for real in the church.

In Ralsei's version, this is how the monster looks like.

This is important because this is pretty clearly Susie. It's a dinosaur-like monster that wields an axe.

This is a depiction that comes up later; in Chapter 2 we see it in Queen's Castle, as a statue Susie can steal for her bedroom. Consider that Queen does not know about these things and is just adjusting and recreating things that people look up online, and that she knows about the protagonists. By and large she's probably just copying Ralsei's notes.

However, when we go to the Dark Sanctuary, we learn a couple of interesting things--

Ralsei is not telling the whole prophecy, and is in fact paraphrasing it for pacing and length.

Save for Ralsei, those are not the original symbols of the heroes.

This is how the hero looks:

Notice that instead of showing Kris, it's showing the player, the SOUL. It's a very specific difference; Kris is the cage and is included in the text, but the implication of showing the actual SOUL instead of them makes the prophecy ring a lot different.

The second hero, however, looks like this:

It's fun that they don't even call her a monster, just a girl, which could always mean some wild shit we don't know yet, but let's focus on the symbol-- if memory serves, this is the ACT symbol. For example, you can get this symbol on Kris's battle HUD if you call for Genson in the Dark Sanctuary:

It also looks a lot like Susie's Rude Buster, but not like the Rude Buster symbol, which is a magical flame.

Either way, then we go a bit further and get to the main point I'm trying to make:

That's not Susie.

Susie doesn't wield a sword. She has never wielded a sword. She has an axe.

The axe is so Susie's weapon that it materializes no matter what she's holding. It came pre-packed with her Dark World form, it's not something she chose-- she even has dialogue about how she doesn't know why she's carrying an axe, but, hey, axes are cool.

I believe this is supposed to be Dess, Noelle's older sister, for a few reasons

She's obviously a very important character who is absent, missing in such a way that has caused hurt on every character. We're shown that she's the first one to "leave" during Tenna's flashback to how it used to be in the Dreemurr/Holiday get-togethers, and her absence is deeply felt by everyone involved whenever her name comes up.

She's described as strong, incredibly cool, and overall the kind of person who would be a hero.

In conversations, Noelle mentions that Dess would hit Kris with a wiffle bat when they would lie to her until they stopped. Obviously two different weapon types, but a bat and a sword are a lot more like each other than a sword and an axe-- at least in how you hold it!

The rest of the Hero Girl prophecy mentions she would find love-- while Susie is obviously in love with Noelle, Dess is also pretty clearly flirting or secretly dating Asriel.

That's part one of the theory, part two is that instead of becoming one of the heroes, something happened to her (which seems to have involved a sacrifice?) that made it so that instead of becoming one of the three heroes, she became the Roaring Knight instead. Evidence for the Knight being Dess (as opposed to, say, Carol) is:

The Knight has antlers, the most obvious signifier that they're a Holiday. But also, did you notice what the sword looks like when the Knight summons it?

IT LOOKS LIKE A BAT. BAM BIG REVEAL MASSIVE PAYOFF. YOU THOUGHT I WAS STRETCHING BACK THERE. YOU THOUGHT I DIDN'T HAVE A PLAN. YOU'RE ALL STUCK IN HERE WITH ME.

Anyway the Knight also:

Attacks with stars -- like Christmas stars, above Christmas trees.

The Knight is horrifying-- and Dess was really into horror movies. She's in fact the reason why Noelle is into creepy things, even if they do genuinely frighten her.

The Knight is not physical-- it can obviously turn into a ball to fly around, but more important than that, it turns into pure static when you actually attack it. Garbage noise.

It almost looks like the Knight is some kind of distortion, like a hologram.

And then, one final thing related to both of these characters that I think is what's actually missing to understand what's going on between the Dreemurrs and the Holidays:

During Chapter 3, you can play the "real version" of a game Tenna has modified to be easier and more direct. In it, you control Kris, who goes through the game world doing a No Mercy run on enemies, then on their own friends, finally ending with a dungeon run where you slaughter a lot of monsters and flowers. This eventually rewards you with the Shadow Mantle you need to defeat the Knight. (if you're not a god and can perfectly dodge everything, that is)

In one of these, you encounter a different kind of enemy that has no equivalent in any other room. There's this thing that copies your movements, in a dark chamber.

If you go into the game's files, you can actually not only find out what this is, you can also lighten up this room.

It's a black deer.

This is probably the most direct reference to the Knight being a deer in the game (even if it's just in the files), but the final piece, the thing that actually makes me lose my mind, is the fact that there is actually a variable that turns the actual model into the "monster" you fight in this room. This variable is only used here. When you walk into the room, the variable turns to true, and the deer becomes the room's enemy.

The variable's name?

Toriel turns her into a monster.

So, here's my attempt at making sense of it all:

Dess was supposed to be one of the three heroes, wielding her bat as a sword.

Asgore and Toriel have something to do with whatever happened with Dess. Whatever they did tore apart their relationship with the Holidays, and their own marriage.

Whatever happened to Dess has been weaponized and whatever's left of her has become the Roaring Knight.

Susie's reaction to the final bit of prophecy likely has to do with someone dying by the hands of the Hero Girl, which she correctly points out would never happen in their specific group.

And she's right. It wouldn't. Because she's not the hero girl.

This also means Susie's going at this hero thing completely unaided by prophecy, 100% stoked on hopes and dreams, because she's the best. You can check out a video exploring more of the deer situation here.

now i know what you're thinking

if the hero is dess, why doesn't the church mural have antlers?

and the answer

might surprise you

OH SHIT A DOG

anyway that was it go away

[cheesebread-loves-ships]

No, you're not crazy. I bet it's Mrs. Holiday or something she has to do with.

They're teenagers, not evil.

They're teenagers, not evil.

[cheesebread-loves-ships]

Ralsei is evil? Broke. Ralsei is a Titan? WOKE.

Here's my design for Titan Ralsei, a theory I like exponentially more than Ralsei being secretly evil. He's the same lovely fluffy boy we all know and love, just entirely made of pure darkness and big enough to hold Kris and Susie in his hands.

[cheesebread-loves-ships]

Oh dear (TW: DELTARUNE 3-4 SOME SPOILERS)

The last few chapters of Deltarune left me thinking and...well, I need to organize my thoughts.

For now I only have a couple of things but nothing is certain (and this is the first time I've expressed myself in a long time about something VERY specific, so you probably won't understand much of what I'm trying to say)

AaaH here wE gO(???

First of all, Mrs. Holiday's behavior made me think, she probably has a lot to do with all of this. And judging by Kris's behavior at the end of chapter 4 they're probably being pressured by whoever's on the phone.(AKA: Mrs. Holiday (? I don't know, just look at her and everything, and the tone she uses while talking to us at Noelle's house)

Then, as for Ralsei and the fact that he was hiding things, I saw it coming from the beginning, I don't want to say that "he is evil" is more like what he said: he got carried away by fear and lied to us (which is not right either, but it is understandable at certain point) who knows if he was also forced to keep silence by someone too, one of his dialogues made me think about it.

My head is spinning right now and I have so many things to say about the game, It's so funny, I never thought I'd form some-kind-of-theory about something.

[cheesebread-loves-ships]

Awww the silly thing
