Thinking many thoughts about the fact that Ravi is a manifestation of bucks abandonment issues - in that he is essentially the ghost of Daniel - who always appears in the firehouse at moments when bucks abandonment issues are at their most pronounced.

Ravi first appears the episode after Buck finds out about Daniel in season 4 and has popped up at every critical point since - the sniper arc in 4 - at the moment when Buck is facing the possibility of losing Eddie.

He is there pretty much all the way through season 5 when Buck was facing Maddie being gone and then when Maddie returns, with Eddie leaving the 118 and breaking down.

In season 5 (defend in place) we also found out about him surviving childhood cancer and the parallels to Daniel become very obvious.

Then in season 6 he pops back up in the aftermath of bucks coma - when he’s wrestling with his own mortality and with the ghost of Daniel from his coma.

Then in season 7 he pops up during bucks bi arc - when buck is fearing Eddie’s abandonment (and his jealousy) because he’s hanging out with Tommy. Then he appears at the end of the season when Bobby is in hospital having had a heart attack. A representation of bucks fears around losing Bobby.

And now he’s turning up in season 8 when Eddie is going to be gone and buck is really having to face all of his abandonment issues - with Maddie being kidnapped, Eddie and Chris being gone and the end of his first queer relationship.

So Ravi seems to represent Bucks fears and issues rising to the surface - being consciously present and there for Buck to actually address. With Ravi disappearing again when Buck manages to rebury or repress them.

one of my favourite aspects of supernatural that you very rarely see in paranormal shows is that sam and dean are already versed in the world they live in. there’s no sudden discovery of ghosts and demons and now they have to learn about them along with the audience; they are born into it and already know all about it. it allows the audience to follow their personal story instead of also trying to figure out this new world and its rules

the first season is full of knowledge we never see them learn; “w*ndigoes are in the minnesota woods or- or northern michigan. i’ve never even heard of one this far west.” […] “great. well then this [his gun] is useless.” (1x02), “you don’t break a curse. you get the hell out of its way.” (1x08), d: “it’s a god. a pagan god, anyway.” […] “the annual cycle of its killings? and the fact that the victims are always a man and a woman. like some kind of fertility right.” […] s: “the last meal. given to sacrificial victims. d: “yeah, i’m thinking a ritual sacrifice to appease some pagan god.” (1x11)

almost every episode in the first season is a monster they’ve faced before that they then explain to the audience in a way that should feel patronising; like it’s the same speech given over and over again but instead, the audience almost feels included in the knowledge. it’s stated with such an innate confidence and comfort in said knowledge that it feels like we already knew it too; “spirits and demons don't have to unlock doors. if they want inside, they just go through the walls.” […] “the claws, the speed that it moves; could be a skinwalker, maybe a black dog.” (1x02), “it's biblical numerology. you know noah's ark, it rained for forty days. the number means death.” (1x04), “no no no, not the reaper, a reaper. there's reaper lore in pretty much every culture on earth, it goes by 100 different names.” […] “you said it yourself that the clock stopped, right? reapers stop time. and you can only see 'em when they're coming at you which is why i could see it and you couldn't.” (1x12)

they already know and, at least in the first season, already have what they need to kill whatever they’re hunting; already know to salt and burn bones for spirits, fire for a w*ndigo, exorcisms for demons, a silver bullet to the heart for shapeshifters. there’s only three times in the entire first season that they run into something new to them; 1x14 when sam gets his first vision that leads him to another psychic, 1x16 when dean calls caleb for help on the sigil he put together and he tells him about daevas, and 1x20 when they find out vampires are real- and they only don’t know that bc john thought they were hunted to extinction and not worth mentioning

(there’s also technically two half instances if you count one of them knowing something the other doesn’t - sam figuring out the tulpa in 1x17 and dean already knowing about the shtriga in 1x18 - but those still rely on sam and dean having prior knowledge)

even when they’re uncertain about facing something, it’s not bc they don’t know what it is; it’s precisely bc they know what it is and acknowledge that it’ll be a difficult hunt (“i don't know, man. this isn't our normal gig. i mean, demons, they don't want anything, just death and destruction for its own sake. this is big. and i wish dad was here.” 1x04)

so much of the tension in paranormal shows typically comes from the main character(s) not knowing what is happening to them/the people around them and having to find out how to resolve it. supernatural is unique in that it operates more like a police procedural. the tension comes from solving the clues and identifying patterns to figure out who (what) the killer is and intercepting before they can take another victim

it’s such a different tone to go for when compared to other shows that came both before, during, and after its run. it sets sam and dean on even footing with each other since they both have the same knowledge going in, and it puts them in a place of authority usually reserved for an outside character

the shows i compare spn to most is charmed, buffy and teen wolf; every main character in those shows are brought into the paranormal world knowing nothing, putting them on the same level as the audience, and they have their mc interact with others already knowledgeable about that world in order to overcome their problem/monster of the week. the audience organically learns about this new world as the characters learn about it. it’s a sound writing strategy that prevents “as we already know”-style exposition but something that complicates it is if your world building isn’t unique or intriguing enough, this slow introduction can become boring

we’ve seen shows like these before; sitting through the same tropes of characters learning to use their powers, struggling with no longer feeling normal/relating to the regular world around them, and not knowing how much they can trust the people already involved in this new world gets repetitive. all three shows eventually reach the same level of comfort with their new world that spn starts with but if the characters aren’t enough to draw you in, you can end up dropping it before they reach that point (and often, before the overarching plot can really kick in and evolve the show beyond the villain of the week format)

it’s the superhero origin movie in tv format; dragged out and overplayed. dropping the audience into an established world of course comes with its own problems but you also have the benefit of pre-existing established character dynamics that let the audience slot in like they’ve always been there instead of just getting to know all the characters while the characters also get to know each other

sam and dean already knowing about the supernatural lets the audience immediately get to the core of the story; the conflict between sam and dean, the search for their father, and the mystery of what killed their mother

Welcome to the Journalist!

I decided to open this blog because I love to manifest. It makes me feel grateful for what I have and for what I could have in the future. I've been exploring various methods to shift, and I thought, why not share them with others? (Plus, I might sprinkle in a little witchcraft here and there that helps with manifestation.)

With so many methods out there today, I realized it would be helpful to have a blog that explains them in a clear and concise way—without the overstimulation of a 6-second video.

When I searched for resources, I found that many blogs just didn’t meet my needs for several reasons:

They only covered the most popular methods.

Some explanations weren’t detailed enough for my ADHD brain.

And honestly, some hadn’t been updated since 1618.

That's why I'm here—to be the resource I couldn’t find.

I can’t help but wonder if Fritz was angrily thinking about BLU’s negligence for a moment. He had to collect himself before responding to Scout. It makes enough sense, if Scout just had a respawn failure that caused seizures.

Clearly he’s not doing well, even this early in the movie. We don’t know how many Mercenaries had life altering, scarring respawn failures that left them unable to work, but it surely happened. Fritz is really struggling to talk about it, even with Scout being a friend and a patient who needs to know. You can tell he hates to dwell on it.

The silent personality makes sense as a natural progression of that. Being stuck living with the memories and burden of Mercenaries getting mutilated despite your best efforts, being stuck reporting to people who don’t care like you.

Why not go silent and stare at the useless men to make them uneasy? To make them stop badgering you with ceaseless questions, to give yourself relief from having to revisit the trauma. Trauma that they didn’t care about or share, being the middlemen.

He was already fed up and angry, but not ready to lash out at the idiots “fixing” the respawn crisis.

He was capable of fighting well, but didn’t want to be violent. Not unless he had to be. So the injustice grew, and the anger and disgust simmered.

This was the only time Archibald and Ludwig were in the same room. He’s arguably the only merc on Blue who would have known Jules in real life, considering the respawn crisis. Soldier and Spy may have gotten their perception of Jules from what little they knew about the respawn crisis through their Medic’s words. Fritz looked at him with revulsion.

Soldier imagined Archibald as a calculating, greedy monster who let good people die, using them as pawns. Conspiring under the mask of being a good person, using that to fill his pockets with blood money. Conspiring with Redmond and Blutarch, the old fools.

Spy imagined Archibald as a simpering coward who made other people get their hands bloody while refusing to lift a finger. Someone who doesn’t care if his own men put themselves on the line, lying to them indiscriminately. Someone with cruel, evil men in his employ and those that were innocently getting used.

Fritz might not even believe that Jules is dead, considering the fact that Spy was talking/acting crazy and lying about how Scout died. That, and his quiet personality is the one who heard the funeral speech, not him. So that could mean that his natural response to a living, breathing Archibald is revulsion.

Can’t say I blame him. Jules Archibald was an awful man, and the Administrator probably had him killed like the director when he stopped making himself useful.

That still left the injustice of being used, and the rage that comes along with it. Whether Fritz preferred to be peaceful or not, those lingering emotions needed an outlet. And as RED mercenaries continued to target the healer with childish mockery and attacks; and Admin continued to be indifferent and cruel, that outlet emerged.

The personality that doesn’t hold back when it comes to a fight. The skill was there before, and so was the anger. But Fritz didn’t have a personality that was ready and willing to lash out at Users and Abusers. The vengeful one.

I think I know exactly what name he’d go by.

agree w everyone who said this ep felt more like a season premiere than a season finale - didn't make it bad, just lower-stakes than before and of course depressing to see deborah backsliding - but i think for the sake of a renewal it makes sense they ended it here. 4x09 felt very much like a series finale - everyone's arcs wrapped up, deborah and ava taking on the world together - and for the sake of another season you don't want it to feel tacked on. and of course the cycles and patterns! the cycles and patterns. the epic highs and lows of standup comedy and what have you

So like... gaster is at least a titan if not the angel, right? (THEORY)

[Note that this post needs major cleaning up, and I will be back to fix it up later, since i have not slept whatsoever, thank you for understanding c: For this reason, if anything is unclear, please don't hesitate to ask me to clarify/elaborate.]

Before I start explaining my thought process, I want to explain why I’m saying titan or angel, and not definitively just one of the two: I’m fairly certain that Gaster is at least a titan. However, due to how present he is in the narrative, and how subservient the titans seem to be, contrasting how vocal the Gaster character seems to be and how active he is, I’m inclined to believe that Gaster is the next possible thing in the hierarchy. (I don’t believe he’s the knight, I think it’s pretty damn certain at this point that the knight is Dess, and while the knight has hints of Gaster-like qualities, most everything that’s roaring related has Gaster-like qualities.)

(Some small credits: I got most of my screenshots from https://www.youtube.com/@mistysparkles and https://www.youtube.com/@ShayyTV , and one screenshot was provided by @sajdd on tumblr, who got it from @/pipislover1997 and @/playcentermd on twitter.)

Another thing I need to note: Some of these things are going to be really far-fetched arguments. This is mostly so that I can get this brainworm out of my head otherwise I will never find peace, and I’m not saying it’s the end-all-be-all answer that will solve the mystery of Deltarune: It’s just a theory after all. Anyway, with those two disclaimers, onto the stuff I have to say.

Please direct your attention to these elements of the titan:

On the right, we have the dark fountain coalescing into a new being that will later become the titan. On the left, we have the grey stone casing that the titan will later watch out of. The grey encasing will be important later, but first, I’d like to point out that the stuff that coalesces into the titan has the same texture as the background in the first cutscene of chapter 1, where someone, commonly assumed to be Gaster, directs us on how to create a vessel.

After that, once the titan starts hatching, we have the following:

First, the hand of the titan, that has a hole with an eye in the middle. Then, once Kris starts climbing on the titan, black and white eyes are revealed to be hiding within the grey cast, eyes that ooze some sort of droopy black liquid. Note how all of the elements of the true titan are black and white (aside from the magic they use.)

The knight can also use their eye as a mouth to laugh. Eyes in general appear in a lot of places in Deltarune; while they don’t appear in the dark worlds themselves, they appear in the in between places, like the area leading up to the pure dark fountain and Tenna’s dark world.

That is a place where I would argue another true darkness is, aside from Ralsei’s kingdom’s fountain. I mean there’s no toy equivalent to them, they seem to just… exist in the dark world.

Now. Where have I seen all that before?

Oh, and by the way, when I say that, I do mean all of that. Gaster is hidden within a grey room, and he is primarily black and white, he is droopy and formless, and his eye and mouth are the same slit, that is only sometimes seeing. (Unrelated by also related, he seems to disappear when Frisk touches him; the only thing that banished the titan was someone with a human soul disturbing its appearance. Gaster and the titan seem to react the same way to light, drawing yet another connection). And given that every single major character that we’ve seen thus far in undertale has in some way been referenced in Deltarune (even down to Muffet), and this is the last ‘major mystery’ of the game that remains, I think it’s pretty safe to assume that this mystery man doesn’t correspond to a general concept, but is an actual representation of a character that does/will appear in Deltarune at some point.

However, you will note that during this entire analysis, I’ve been taking the mystery man sprite as to be the definitive appearance of Gaster, and I think I have some evidence that at least strongly connects the mystery man, the titans, and Gaster all together.

Please remember how the casing hiding inside it the true titans’ form was cast in grey. Note also how before the cast formed completely, we have the same texture as the background in the create your character segment as the game, a vessel which in the files is dubbed “goner body”. Obviously, the goners, who talk about Dr. Gaster, are also cast in grey and disappear very similarly to the mystery man. Note however that when you create this grey body, it is called the “vessel”, and Kris is referenced as being a cage in the prophecy. The one responsible for creating the human vessel, in the same circumstances and processes as the titan was created, is Gaster. This possibly suggests that the gaster followers and the goner kid are a vessel for something, and here I would say that they are a vessel for knowledge, and the way they’re drawn and positioned in the game makes them look and feel very stone-like in disposition.

With all the above, I think it’s difficult to disprove that Gaster is, at least, a titan, but now you might also begin to understand why I’m going so far as to suggest he might be the angel.

First of all, he created the vessel in the first chapter, and the stuff used to create the titan has the same texture. It seems a little unlikely to me that a simple titan that needs this much help to collapse a fraction of the world would be capable of creating a stable vessel from scratch, so I’m inclined to believe that Gaster, in this aspect, is at least some sort of higher power than a titan. Another direct reference to Gaster and the angel stem from the him.png file that was uploaded to deltarune . com all those years ago: 

It’s notable to me how this phrase was specifically written in wingdings, since not only is that font usually immediately correlated to Gaster, but this phrase, without Deltarune as context, is already cryptic as it is - there’s no need to encrypt it further with a font like this, unless you want to hint at a deeper connection between the two concepts.

Gaster is also as far as I remember (please correct me if I’m wrong) the only character so far to directly correlate the dark worlds and the roaring to the angel, information that no one else seems keen on sharing or knows. The last thing I have to prove as a connection comes from the bunker.

Now, there’s three symbols on the lock on the bunker: A pine tree (Noelle, Dess, or Carol), a police badge (Undyne or Asgore), and the delta rune. The delta rune is an emblem comprised of three triangles (one darkner, two lightners), and a sphere with wings above them (the angel). Now, a lot of people attribute the symbol as belonging to Toriel, but I think this connection is tentative at best. The only connection Toriel has to the delta rune is the uniform she wears and the fact that she manages the choir of the school, but the delta rune is generally a symbol of worship everywhere. There are so many characters that are directly tied to the delta rune, like Gerson and Alvin, and so many characters that are only loosely connected to the delta rune. The symbol is absolutely everywhere, and Toriel is not the only one to wear a garment like that.

However, there’s only one character that notes that they have a direct connection to the delta rune. At the very end of the credits of chapter 4, the person speaking to us in chapter 1, aka Gaster, starts talking to us about our progress with the story, before dropping this bombshell of a phrase:

Firstly, to get it out of the way, I think Gaster is one of the potential people being alluded to with the third symbol on the lock (there are more candidates, one of which could be Asriel, but this isn’t about him). However, I will say that it’s a little intense to say that the emblem of an entire religion belongs to you. Unless, of course, you are the reason why the religion exists, and you are the one people worship, and you are depicted on said emblem.

With this in mind, I do have some strong inclinations that Gaster is the angel. Is this a definitive theory? Absolutely not, but I do think it has some really strong foundations. With this in mind, I think if I am to take this theory as “canon’ then I can make a pretty strong case about Kris being something of a Darkner instead of a lightner, but that’s another theory for another day. I never make theories. I am never this passionate about my own theories. Deltarune what have you done to me. Toby Fox I am outside your house, come outside.

Going back to this post here and just continuing to look more into things about the types of magic in Runeterra. That and chatting with @the-rebellious-one in the replies of it a bit! Anyhow just kinda observing the type of magic Viktor would have should things have gone differently and the most I thought so far was:

Chronomancy (Time)

A form of elemental magic involving time manipulation (seems to be considered a form arcane magic too?). Time and probability magic was something the-rebellious-one brought up in the replies. From what I gathered it can enable the user to speed up or slow down time buuuut if they're able to master it well enough then they can send themselves to different points of time depending on things or just remove something from the flow of time. This is primarily based on how Mage/Bad Future Viktor was able to travel to that specific moment of Jayce's childhood to save him and his mother's life and give him a different rune each timeline. Perhaps he developed that after realizing the consequences of his "Glorious Evolution" since there didn't seem to be traces of the magic he utilized with the Hexcore fused into him so maybe he could have awakened to or just gained that somehow? If he was born naturally as a mage but never harnessed or realized it then would have been pretty sad there. Not super, super sure about the possibility of also having the ability to stop or reverse time with this (most answers I see are "no" on that but then there's Ekko but I think his case is via Hextech) but who knows with the slight liberties Arcane took here and there.

Runic

It's described as a combination of Celestial and Elemental magic. Most commonly brought up character in League regarding this as an example is Ryze (who was also thought to be the mage who saved Jayce in the show until the twist reveal). Again, kinda based on Mage!Viktor since he seemed to have many different runes with him (besides the ones he gave to each Jayce) and there appears to be rune tattoos on one of his hands and fingers (oh boy that would hurt if that specific hand was the one that got augmented as a result of Sky getting killed which I think is his right? Based on where he's holding his staff it's most likely his right side).

Hell, when he performs the spell, he's surrounded by runes.

(Look at this fucking showoff I can't--!)

Anyhow, I guess another example would be when Present!Viktor actually carved runes onto himself while experimenting with the Hexcore as well so that can probably support it a bit even if it was from him probably studying about it. Now Runic Magic can vary it seems. It can kinda boil to what kind of runes you utilize and write/carve (whether on yourself or an item/stone/weapon). It can be say, firing arcane energy or even extending your lifespan or utilizing any element depending on the runes in your arsenal.

Both this and/or just Chronomancy can kinda fit Viktor a bit considering how part of his downward spiral was his desperation to live upon getting confirmation that he's dying. Especially in regards to time being a recurring theme of his it seems to be a bit. Especially in regards of how he has butterfly motifs as well (imho and you know, Butterfly Effect).

Healing

This is something that all forms of magic can have and I feel like considering his stint as a healer in Season 2 Act 2 I think it would work... Just without the disastrous results. For example, a user of Spirit Magic can have the potential to regenerate injuries via healing one's soul and even heal minds while Celestial Magic users can simply heal wounds and fully heal an individual.

But considering that he's considered a Battlemage (basic tl;dr: Strong in damage, crowd control, survival but lacking in terms of defense, cooldown, and range) in League it may not work entirely but hey, maybe in another universe perhaps! It can possibly fit considering his own goals.

The most common idea I saw was Void but I feel like it isn't? Namely since it involves the absence of magic. Granted, I can see why it was commonly thought or theorized to be such since it does involve a mortal's mind being shattered upon being shown a painful glimpse of unreality as a result of contact with it. And who's to say it was what was speaking to Viktor previously at the Hexgate. Personally, I don't think so but I can see the why here and who knows really.

That's the most I can gather so far. I'm slowly leaning towards Chronomancy personally but I'm not super sure. Another reason is that I do want to explore that concept in my Crossover AU (New Life, New Rebellion) as part of his arc. Like he starts out with the magic he got from Hexcore but it slowly starts to kill him and after a certain point where he ends up losing it or something he tries to tap into them but finds that he gains something different which was what he was naturally born with (along with gaining a proper Persona) and this time he would utilize it properly.

(These are the posts that actually inspired me to look more into the idea here and here)

[ceranovis]

So... the thing that IMMEDIATELY stood out to me in Fit's Dec 30th lore stream was the use of the nocom heatmap:

Like this is the exact version if the heatmap Fit uses in his 2b2t vid about the nocom exploit (which is a wild story in itself, please watch it if you haven't before).

But some musing about how nocom might be connected to the lore (which quickly spiralled into some theories about Madagio, the 2 Cucuruchos, and the eggs):

Nocom was an exploit that tracked players in real time, predict their movements, and allowed remote spying on physical changes to locations. Madagio being drawn in by the remenant signal of that could just be a nod to their interest in finding ways to collect information and why they would find Fit suitable for the job.

HOWEVER-- Nocom was built on a Papermc vulnerability that meant it could also work on other multiplayer servers that run it. While nocom was patched on 2b2t, that doesn't mean other servers have patched the vulnerability & the source code has been released by the creators. So Madagio could have been interested in going to 2b2t to get ahold of nocom to use on Quesadilla island so it could uncover the "secrets [it] must have at all costs"-- their POV when tracking down fit shows entity lines so they clearly have some tracking ability/tool.

Maybe they got the nocom code, but found they couldn't use it yet. It's been mentioned before that Fit tried hack clients on QSMP but they didn't work, and exploits get fixed pretty quickly to keep the server stable. Madagio said the only way onto thr island at the time was the Federation train-- presumably the Federation had thing heavily locked down and Madagio wouldn't be able to enter or run any sort of exploit.

2b2t's nocom was made possible because of social engineering-- Madagio could have hired Fit to collect information so it could find a way to successfully manipulate holes into the Federation's security and get onto the island/run nocom.

In the Dec 21st QSMP Info stream, Dark Cucurucho seems to be looking for something the Federation has hidden, and demands Cucurucho tell him where it is. Maybe Madagio is looking for the same thing? Nocom would theoretically allow someone to find hidden facilities/people anywhere on the server.

Where Dark Cucurucho seems tied to the Nether, and Cucurucho the overworld, its becomes pretty notable that Madagio has Fit go through a giant Ender portal.

Madagio being tied to the End also has some interesting implications if you think about the (ender?) dragon that supposedly inhabited the island & created the eggs. While the federation claimed the dragon left when the wall was blown up, there's no actual evidence it was there at the time. Perhaps Madagio is the dragon.

Fans seem to be interpretting the "i am a god" anagram of Madagio literally, which could fit with the ender dragon being a sort of godly being presiding over the End dimension.

BUT it may not be a literal dragon-- the eggs seem to be some sort of science experiements, so what if the anagram is a reference to a scientist playing god?

Maybe Madagio literally created the eggs from End-realm-DNA or something before fleeing/being kicked off Quesadilla, and the dragon story is just what the Federation made up to explain the eggs without having to bring up Madagio.

Maybe the experiements that led to the eggs were about opening up inter-server travel? Madagio said whatever made it leave Quesadilla also gave it server-hopping powers (powers which seems similar in reach to the Federation's ability to pull people to the island/send workers to other places).

The Federation can block interdimensional travel too-- we saw that with the Nether, which the residents eventually broke through with the train bug, implying hacks/bugs are needed to bypass Federation security.

Dark Cucurucho told Forever it wanted to leave, desired freedom, and that the Federation didn't want it to have that. Maybe the thing Dark is looking for is the thing that Madagio created that allows for interdimensional travel, which the Federation stole.

I think the only non-Federation example of cross-server travel we've seen is with the Watcher/Purgatory, but it may have actually been Dark Cucurucho who enabled that, not the Watcher. Aside from Dark being the one to give the residents their tickets to Purgatory via the dice game, Cucurucho claimed the recent security vulnerabilities were due to Dark, so maybe Dark found an exploit that allowed for limited interdimenisonal travel-- if it's tied to the creation of eggs somehow, maybe that's why there were 3 new eggs found on Egg Island?

The Unknown Egg diary Cellbit found could potentially be connected to Dark Cucurucho leaving & making contact with the Watcher prior to the purgatory arc, given the timing (about a month after the residents broke open the Nether, which may have created a door for Dark to get to the overworld despite Federation security and set things in motion). Maybe Cucurucho sent Cellbit to investigate because it suspected Dark was up to something? Cellbit assumed the egg's fate was the Federation's doing, but why would they send him to investigate it then? Maybe it was Dark making a cheap immitation of the Federation adoption center so it could travel, and then abandoning the egg once it had what it wanted?

Cucurucho also said that Dark didn't understand the potential of the eggs, which could explain why Dark would only be able to achieve limited travel.

Today's ep was wild, but HERE IS HOW SASHA JAMES CAN STILL COME BACK

[taamlok]

i can't stop thinking about how so many people fundamentally do not understand taash. they would not doodle on your face while you sleep they would put a blanket over you and shush anyone who comes in the room

[frameconfessions]

I don't think the Technocyte Coda "boys" are the original On-Lyne boys. I think the originals are long dead and these things are cloned from leftover DNA like hairbrushes and things like that (like one of Amir's datamined emails mentions in the mall). We know the Orokin like trying to do longevity experiments and cloning experiments later on in the timeline and if Gregory V is Alad V's ancestor, the motivations would certainly line up.

[dubious-solutions]

I find "gaster isnt evil" theories very silly as i feel like they often try to make him out to be genuinely ALWAYS trying to help, when that goes in the face of one of his only defining traits- being shattered. nobody is purely good of evil, of course, and if someone is shattered, different shards may have more pure intentions, other not so much! like the v-day letter, that seems like it could be a more goofy, slightly off-putting but well meaning grandpa shard of him, i mean it has many of the hallmarks of gaster, the suddenly appearing and disappearing strange inflection, all caps, very very very rare chance of appearing, just not all the personality (as if we KNOW what his personality even truly is in the first place in full lol)

Bottom line, we barely know anything about him concretely, that includes his intentions and motives and nature.

I could be wrong, but if theory crafting has showed me anything, its that toby seems to be setting up in DR for gaster to fill a similar role as flowey did in UT, and if theres anything i know about flowey, its that he is manipulative and not always to be trusted at face value.

This is just how i see it tho. gaster has ROTTEN vibes and im so excited to see what this could even play out as. i keep thinking about him as. also dont get me wrong i dont think he cant do "good" things in case you needed to hear it from me, i just think he's also capable of doing very very very "bad" things too. fuck, maybe he even thinks he's helping, but in reality is only hurting the situation, or whatever the fuck i dont know what he's doing all i know is that he might be gay but i didnt come up with that, i just think its neAT,, and i have evidence
