if it is.. then that means her hope was “burned” possibly from trying to defy her fate but failing to create a new future

but susie hopes for a better world and i feel as though there’s a contrast of the knight’s burned hope vs susie’s burning hope

3/3

susie, a character constantly paralleled with dess, has a “white pen” of hope

and interestingly enough, she is also associated with burning imagery

i wonder if the sword in the prophecy panel is that white pen. and i wonder if dess had it as well at some point 2/3

#DELTARUNE

thinking…

the knights knife is “blackened” implying that it was made black through burning which makes sense since that’s smth dess has been associated with both directly and tangentially

1/3

i should cross post to here more

toby if you’re going further with the “how long did it take her smile” page pleaseee give the people who didn’t do the original in may a chance to do it now 😭 i’m a truck freak but i had exams in may so it feels unfair that i’m now perma locked out of whatever it is that you’re doing

Now that's Winter, I'm thinking about NEWSLETTER. But I haven't written anything for one yet...

Right now, my energy is going towards preparing Chapter 5 for localization. The translation process begins next week. We have extracted all the English text and we are now annotating it.

delta western fans really b calling anything theories nowadays. i am part of the problem

irredeemably evil toby fox character theory officially DEBUNKED

ok that’s it i crossposted this from twitter bc i want ppl to give me their thoughts

also i jst want to say this isn’t a prediction on what i think will 100% happen this is more of a what-if scenario.

i could be completely wrong and that’s fine but i just needed to get this out or i’d go insane.

this line is also very curious under my theory, because it’d make sense if sans knows this world will be destroyed because he’s seen it happen before in deltarune first hand.

he doesn’t want to lose it all again and have this world forever destroyed.

that’s why i think sans says “i know your type” when describing the player’s completionist instincts.

he’s talking about gaster, a morbidly curious scientist experimenting with worlds because he think he can derive a new outcome from it.

now i’m not sure what sans is gonna be doing in the future chapters but whatever it is i think he’ll get to know gaster and by extension the nature of the player and their morbid curiosity

now this is a bit of a shot in the dark but i think the two ppl trying to fix the machine are gaster and the player and the “machine” is the DEVICE layer gaster uses to connect to the player.

it might even be the same one we see in sans’ lab

it makes me wonder, if what i’m saying is right and we’re heading towards reaching the ‘absolute’ of deltarune i think we will reach the same fate. the world will be destroyed irreparably, it also makes me think about this tweet

and once you’ve done everything, the world is destroyed, because there’s no point in keeping it around anymore when every possibility has been explored.

you can still replay the game of course but that experience is just left hollow and in the words of andrew cunningham:

and if you choose not to listen? if you reset and try to 100% the game? you’re punished. because you’re destroying your investment to this world and it’s characters because of curiosity, bc you decided a happy ending wasn’t enough. nothings enough until you reach the “absolute”

this is opposite to undertale, once you’ve completed pacifist the game wants you to stop playing and be satisfied with what you’ve done, even if you haven’t seen everything you could, even if you can’t meet your friends again on the surface

then i realised that’s why we have 3 save slots.

gaster literally says “PREPARATIONS ARE COMPLETE” when overwriting the ur file to all 3 save slots. he’s planning for you to replay them. to find every secret in order to create the “new future” he so desperately wants.

what’s also interesting is that like 60% of deltarune’s lore heavy scenes are completely optional and that always left me wondering how can someone who’s not found any secret have the same experience as someone who’s found every secret.

this is bc deltarune seems to encourage players testing the limits of what they can find in the game. (secret bosses, eggs, sweepstakes, noelle’s blogs abt finding secrets in dragon blazers, datamining secrets etc.)

maybe he’ll tell the player to forge a different path to achieve a different ending (weird route) but when that also ends the same gaster will tell the player to do an aborted weird route??

maybe not exactly this but i feel gaster would encourage the player to find secrets.

but i’m sure gaster, a scientist who’s interested in “creating a new future” will probably want to explore all the possibilities.

maybe the normal ending is unsatisfying, and gaster js left wondering why things turned out this way, why the ending is unchanged

the main gist of my “””theory””” is that maybe you need to do both the weird route and the normal route
(and maybe an aborted weird route?) to achieve a true ending.

my reasoning is that UT pacifist ending ends with flowey asking you to let go and leave the world as it is.

#deltarune read this thread if you want to hear my half baked thoughts on how deltarune might end.

i reference device theory but it’s not needed to understand this.

i plan to make a more cohesive thread later but this is just my sprawled out ideas.
