there’s something so desperately miserable about the lyric “buy me some peanuts and cracker jack / i don’t care if i never come back”

I've found myself intrigued by the nature of blood in deltarune, and its often contradictory mentions, and have thus decided to compile every textual mention of "blood" or "bleed" within the first 4 chapters, to serve as a reference. These are listed with context to the best of my ability, and presented in approximate order of when the player would encounter them. Made with the help of the deltarune text dump and the wiki. Some of these dont occur within normal gameplay, for example some of Noelle's reactions to items used on her when it's normally impossible to have her in the party when the items are found. There's also one instance of unused sprites, included because I find it noteworthy. Screenshots of dialogue are not included because it would take TOO LONG 🎃 and because tumblrs image limit prohibits it.

If you find anything I've missed, please let me know so I can include it!

i thus present to you:

THE DELTARUNE BLOOD COMPILATION

Chapter 1:

"YOUR FAVORITE BLOOD TYPE (A, AB, B, C, D)" (The Voice, vessel creation)

"It's stained." (Narration, referring to the large bloodstain on the carpet of Kris's room)

"That thing was BLOODTHIRSTY!!!" (Susie, after C. Round fight)

"'Cause my GUYS are about to smash you into blood! Lots of blood! Splooshing blood! Very gross and bad!" (Lancer, showing off his new scary routine)

"And saying you'd turn us into blood is, uh, cool" (Susie, same scene)

"It's to put the blood in." (Lancer, same scene, explaining bucket)

"I'll take the blood, and you take the skin!" (Lancer, splitting a Hearts Donut with Susie)

"Look, if no one else will eat it, I'll try it! ... there's a jar of... Blood...? In here" (Susie, if Kris declines to try the salsa)

"Mmm, blood!" (Feeding Susie a Hearts Donut)

"Everybody bleeds, right? don't worry about it." (Susie, assuring Lancer that she'll be fine fighting King)

"But my BLOOD is BOILING FOR BATTLE!!!" (The warrior, telling Kris why he's in the hospital)

"Does it hurt to be made of blood???" (Bunny Kid in apartment, asking Kris about being human)

"W-wait, this isn't another trick, is it, Kris? Like when you put ketchup on your arms and told me it was blood?" (Noelle, if Kris tells her Susie is a nice person)

Chapter 2:

(unused sprites of Injured Susie after falling off the trash heap in the Trash Zone)

"Heh, ask me again when it's, like, blood explosion magic." (Susie, discussing learning healing magic with Ralsei)

"Mmm... what!? It's blood!?" (Feeding Noelle a Hearts Donut)

"I guess i do like slime and blood..." (Susie relating to Noelle's description of horror movies as "comforting" on the ferris wheel)

"We'll make your bed with sheets blood red." (Swatchling, in battle)

"Kris, your deep concern for me... is dextrose. But stay sanguine, my fellow bluebird." (Berdly, spoken to after being freed from the wires. sanguine means blood which is why this is here)

"THE PIZZA'S SAUCE IS BOILING RED. BURBLING, BURNING LIKE MY BLOOD YEARNS FOR BATTLE!!!" (The warrior, making pizza at ICE-E's PEZZA)

"GAMER BLOOD ENERGY DRINK" (soda flavor at ICE-E's PEZZA)

"Hahaha, Kris, you READ that nerdy stuff? Heh! Giant swords, hammers, bloody battles... ... uh, so if there's any cool parts, you'd tell me, right?" (Susie, when Kris investigates the Lord of the Hammer series at the library)

"So what are we gonna marathon tonight? Blood Crushers 3? Hell busters? Invasion of the Cat Petters?" (Susie deciding what to watch on Kris's living room TV)

"I better not see you move until your eyes are bloodshot!" (Susie upon deciding she and Kris will watch a giant monster movie marathon)

Spamton Sweepstakes:

Nothing within the livestream itself is included, because it's noncanon. the link maze is canon, however, and includes one mention of blood:

"Listening to: Blood Crushers The Band - Raise Up Your Bat" Noelle's blog on the page deltarune.com/code

Chapter 3:

"Think YOU could survive BLOOD CRUSHERS 2, Ralsei?" (Susie, during the conversation at the beginning of the Dark World

"... obviously isn't real blood." (Feeding Susie a TV Dinner on save slot 3)

"I can hardly tell it's not, um, real blood." (Feeding Noelle a TV Dinner on save slot 3)

"WHEN THE DEMON HEART IS CRYING / AND THE BLOOD IS GUSHING BRIGHT" (Raise Up Your Bat lyrics, sung twice within the song)

Chapter 4:

"... what the hell is this giant bloodstain? Just use VINEGAR, dumbass. Vinegar and hot water. Cleans it up." (Susie, noticing, and helping clean, the bloodstain in Kris's room)

"It looks like blood. (Noelle: Definitely! Haha! That's why I'm! Always drinking it??????????) Yeah. Too bad they just ran out. Of blood." (Susie, discussing the Fruit Juice with Noelle)

"Blood of Power" (100% red fruit juice item description)

"Noelle, run! She'll drink your blood / Get closer! She'll drink your blood" (Dialogue options to warn/tease Noelle about Susie? unsure if used in-game)

"Faha, is that a Blood Crushers 2 reference?" (Noelle, discussing the noise from the basement with Susie)

"Kris, you... the glass, I didn't notice... it... You're bleeding... Umm, I'll... Here, let me heal it!" (Susie, noticing Kris bleeding after falling through the glass in the dark sanctuary)

"BLOOD POWER ACTIVATE!" (Equipping the Power Band to Susie)

"That red... is that blood?" (Attempting to equip the Absorb Ax to Noelle)

And, there isnt any text to accompany this, but Susie bleeds after destroying the Final Prophecy:

I am disheartened by the way westerners talk about Iran. Even some of the pro Palestinian ones. Many talk about Iran as a force of resistance against the west being “under attack” by Israel. Which is true but more importantly, hundreds of innocent civilians were slaughtered by Israel (and the US by proxy). My grief is as it’s always been indescribable.
