My MIKE design for Deltarune

The basic idea essentially comes from the theory that MIKE is a cat, more specifically the Mi Ke Japanese Bobtail Cat, which is a symbol of good luck! And that wide grin of his reminds me of a Cheshire Cat, so why not make him a Mi Ke Japanese Cheshire Cat?

I have digital drawings with the exact colors my design of him would use, so I’ll find those later :p

Also it’d be really funny if he ended up being Gaster’s pet cat….

Tricky Tony gives us the best little guy and takes him away,,, not even a leitmotif to his name

BONUS: Ramb speaks up

Why is there a part that sounds like his song on your theme

Why do you have the freedom motif in your minigame

Maybe he just invited himself into the Mike "fanclub"

A mystery man can be lonely

I THINK I FIGURED OUT MYSTERYMAN

back in 2015, the official undertale account released a blogpost with someone assumed to be sans giving us “important info”. the post has a near-direct quote from one of the gaster followers

so the next clue that sans gives us is assumably relevant to gaster

we’ve know that shyren’s “lower body” is actually a Second monster

(source)

but how does this relate to Gaster at all? well, we can see that shyren bares a striking resemblance to mysteryman

so then the implication is that mysteryman’s lower body is a separate being

It’s a cat.

Deltarune Theory: Do you know who your FRIENDs are?

A while ago I made this whole chart about who FRIEND might be and then I just straight up forgot to post it.

And I think I did like, an okay job here, although there are some assumptions and confusions. It's actually the bonus drawings I did that now I think might be closer to the truth.

Well maybe not the second one, maybe the second one, idk, but the new Spamton Sweepstakes stuff does seem to imply FRIEND is Noelle's missing digital pet, with it appearing in the cat petterz minigame and all. But hey, what can we actually do with that information?

Well, let's look at the assumptions we've had before. Obviously this being the "egg" page on the website, along with multiple red trees linking back to it across the website, it gives us the impression that the man behind the tree gave Noelle this egg. But who's the man behind the tree?

Well if you've read my other posts you'd know I agree with Spookydood's hypothesis that neither the man behind the tree nor the mysterious Valentine's letter are Gaster. But the man behind the tree and the mysterious Valentine ARE the same person. Go go gadget evidence compilation:

That seems pretty straightforward, yeah? Very deliberate writing choices. But can we determine who this is even further?

The speaking patterns of the Valentine are very... Alice in Wonderland. A sort of rhythmic speaking in confusions and wordplay. And honestly? I think that tell us everything we need to know.

FRIEND appears as a floating smile in the darkness. He's associated with Noelle's cat game. The egg man is associated with a tree and an odd manner of speech. A cat in a tree that turns into a floating smile and has an odd manner of speech? That's the fucking Cheshire cat, straight up.

I don't think Noelle's game created FRIEND, I think FRIEND was interfacing with it the same way Spamton did. That would explain why the sweepstakes stuff doesn't have to be canon, if it was actually FRIEND's backstory from Noelle's game that would have to be reiterated in the game itself. But if he was just giving her the egg, the same way Spamton gave her the Pipis, that's just a thing he did, not vital backstory.

"But is he Mike though?" Uhhhh. Good question? I'd probably lean no still since FRIEND's name seems to have been forgotten while Spamton just knows Mike's name straight up. Maybe Spamton is special, he does have the glasses in FRIEND's colors. Why would Tenna be looking for FRIEND anyhow? I don't really know or care if FRIEND is Mike right now, I'm pretty satisfied with the conclusions I came to. Thanks to my buddy Victor for helping me reach said conclusions.

Just one last thought though... Is FRIEND from the Card Kingdom? The tree they take with them certainly is. And after all, Chapter 1 is a fantasy forest with a playing card theme and a cruel ruler, that's Alice in Wonderland as hell. If FRIEND is a strange, powerful cat darkner from the Card Kingdom... Well, so is Seam. Seam, who has been our guide to the secret bosses. FRIEND, who''s face has only ever been seen in game guiding us to the Spamton fight. Hm.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Mike is an angel?

"In the Book of Revelation, Satan appears as a Great Red Dragon, who is defeated by Michael the Archangel and cast down from Heaven. He is later bound for one thousand years, but is briefly set free before being ultimately defeated and cast into the Lake of Fire."

"MIKE" dialogue:

All right. I admit it. None of us are actually Mike. We're just kind of... In charge of Mike's room. Unofficially. Tenna's always talking to Mike, right...? Well, ya see, sometimes he wants to come to this room and... "visit" him. It's been that way since TV world! But he gets really moody if Mike isn't there... and takes it out on us. Now, here's the thing about that. Mike has never been here!!! NOT ONCE!!! [...] We just started taking turns pretending to be him! And you know what the weird thing is!? It actually worked!!! As long as there's a Mike, Tenna actually believes it!!

"The Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel usually refers to one specific Catholic prayer to Michael the Archangel, among the various prayers in existence that are addressed to him. It falls within the realm of prayers on spiritual warfare. (concept of fighting against the work of preternatural evil forces. It is based on the belief in evil spirits, or demons, that are said to intervene in human affairs in various ways.)"

(note the heavenly light representing Mike)

Who's Mike?! Who is he?! 'cause none of us have ever seen him! None of us! Ever! Every time Tenna asks Mike to do something, it's either like... He just does it himself, we do it secretly, or... It just sorta happens! So who is Mike!? Who is he!? Is he just Tenna's imaginary friend!? [...] And why the hell does he get so much love and attention!? if the weather guys are second-in-command, what does that make him?! [...] Uh, what if it's us? [...] we been pretending to be Mike doin' stuff... What if when we pretend to be Mike, we're actually Mike? What? It's ALWAYS been us!? Then where'd the idea of Mike come from in the first place? [...] Ahhh, I give up! As long as someone's Mike, it'll work out!

Im going crazyyyy!!!!! Im fucking losing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
