guys new knight candidate just dropped

[damagedspinach]

It's TV Time! sounds kinda...

(played in the same BPM, key, and instrument for clarity)

[damagedspinach]

what is wrong with this weird little freak

what the hell is this fuckers deal actually i dont know

is it literally the shadow mantle or just wearing it or something???

because it LOOKS like its literally just the shadow mantle

but it says "... and the SHADOW MANTLE that I'm holding!" so it is it wearing it and just really small or something???

what's up with the mouth??? why is there a mouth???

it summons device_friend to attack you so it's related to that i some way apparently???

why is it in the bunker shelter???

it uses fire magic for some reason which is the dreemmurr's thing???

the shadow mantle itself gives a 66% reduction to dark/star attacks so its also got something to do with gaster somehow???

mostly unrelated i cant tell if gaster and the knight are on the same team or not

because gaster seems perfectly content to let us retry the knight fight as much as we want

and again the mantle gives a 66% reduction to dark/star attacks

but also the knight has mysteryman hand holes???

tl;dr: please help me im very confused

[damagedspinach]

when you think about it gerson being in the chapter 4 dark world is more evidence for ralsei being piles of asriels dust

[damagedspinach]

WEED REFERENCE!!!

WEED REFERENCE!!!

WEED REFERENCE!!!

[damagedspinach]

nevermind seems like dess just breaks things

cracked huh?

[damagedspinach]

HELLO????

very very weird im not sure what to make of this

[damagedspinach]

cracked huh?

[damagedspinach]

TOBY

in the YEAR OF OUR LORD TWO-THOUSAND AND TWENTY-FIVE

FUCK YOU

[damagedspinach]

very very weird im not sure what to make of this

[damagedspinach]

nvm its totally him

i find it very odd that the narration specifies golden stars here

because like. what golden stars do we have in ut/dr?

(notably, the deltarune save points ARENT golden)

gold is also definitely the colour of determination, considering the flowers in asgores shop, which makes it even weirder that the save points in deltarune arent gold

[damagedspinach]

HAHA DUMBASS FORGOT TO PUT THE )

it literally has a physical aura

the knight has so much aura its fucking bonkers. easily one of the coolest aspects of this game visually. all its animations are fluid and radiate so much damn personality you can just FEEL the smugness and certainty

[damagedspinach]

gaster and the dark fountains

okay so first and most obvious thing is that the fountains and the goner maker bg literally are the same image

(which is also just the ocean but i wont get into that)

but we've known that for ages

(spoilers and speculation below)

what we DIDNT know is what it looks like if you go inside a dark fountain:

...thats literally just the gonermaker, huh?

ralsei explains that dark worlds are what happens when it gets "darker than dark"

which is kind of gasters entire thing in entry 17???

"DARK DARKER YET DARKER

THE DARKNESS KEEPS GROWING

THE SHADOWS CUTTING DEEPER

PHOTON READINGS NEGATIVE"

photon readings negative? as in negative light?

weird

not to mention the knights obvious mysterman hand holes

i think dess is the knight

i think mayor holiday is also kind of the knight

i also think theyre the "YOU TWO" from entry 17

but ill explain that later im bored of writing

(its so fucking weird how this is absolutely a bat like dess has and then it enigmatically becomes a big katana like the mayor has for the rest of ever)

[damagedspinach]

i forgot to actually put any examples of penumbra in deltarune so here are those (played in the same key bpm and instrument just so theyre easier to hear)

(not mentioning how its in hopes and dreams/save the world this is about deltarune)

so it kinda seems like penumbra phantasm in deltarune theory is dead right?

i mean thats a quote from toby literally saying it wont be used.

...right?

yeah probably

BUT WHAT IF.

okay hear me out here but i dont think penumbra was ever meant for homestuck

its not like there isnt a precedent for this; get a load of THIS SHIT!

plus NORTHERNLIGHT is just legally distinct saviour of the waking world (the intro at least)

"BUT WHAT ABOUT DOCTOR ISNT PENUMBRA PHANTASM JUST DOCTOR"

yeah kinda. but do you know what WASNT in doctor that IS in penumbra phantasm???

THIS SHIT:

AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE ONLY INSTANCES OF PENUMBRA IN DELTARUNE ARE?!?!?!

they are also the aforementioned shit!
