Alright! I’ve pieced together my views on Deltarune and its connections to Undertale, and I think I can present it now as a theory.
So the most important question concerning Deltarune is where does it take place in the Timeline? Is it a prequel, a sequel or an Alternate Universe in itself?
So obviously, Deltarune has to take place in a separate Universe, since Catty and Bratty hate each other, Undyne doesn’t know Alphys, Asriel is Alive etc etc.
But I think in its connections to Undertale that Deltarune is a prequel to Undertale, but ONLY for the characters of Sans and Papyrus. I think that this is the Universe Sans and Papyrus originally came from before they ended up in Undertale.
And there is a whole lot of Evidence to Support this.
So firstly Undertale. It’s obvious in the game that Sans and Papyrus comes from a different universe to the Universe presented in Undertale. Sans mentions it himself that he might not have originated from this world in the Genocide run.
And then theirs Sans hidden Lab. This Lab has SO many connections to Deltarune.
Firstly the Blueprint.
Isn’t this the exact same blueprint that we see Lancer and Susie working on?
Of course, this could just be Toby Fox reusing files, but knowing him and the amount of effort he puts into these games, especially these little lore secrets, I’m inclined to think differently.
And then there’s the drawing.
Don’t Forget. It’s a line repeated throughout Deltarune. Over and over and over, through the music and the litemotifs. And three people that we don’t recognise? Could it be Kris, Susie and Ralsei: The supposed heroes of Deltarune?
And one final thing. Sans seems to have an unwarranted hatred towards humans in Undertale. Plus the fact, that unlike most of the monsters in the game (Except for the ones who knew of a human presence) Sans recognises you as a human from the moment he meets you. So why does he hate humans so much? Perhaps… Perhaps in a previous timeline, something happened with him. Something that ripped him away from his home and landed him in the Undertale world. Perhaps something bad concerning a human, who we can see isn’t exactly the most trustworthy.
When Deltarune finally comes out, it’s very likely that our choices don’t matter. They didn’t matter in this demo (Well they did to the tiniest extent), and we’re constantly being reminded of the fact that everything in this game is fate and that we have no control. So I believe the final ending of Deltarune will have Timebending, Universe bending impacts that we have no control over. Something that will greatly impact Sans and Papyrus.
Anyway that’s just my theory on Deltarune.
Hope you all like it.
That’s exactly what I was thinking
it would explain this
sans knew what the sun was and wasnt surprised BUT that also brings one hole in the theory. Papyus DIDNT know what the sun was. So may i propose a little amendment to the theory? Sans is from the deltarune universe but papyrus isnt. The papyrus that sans does everything he can to make happy isnt the same papyrus he grew up with.
Seeing John Mulaney do his ‘Robot Test’ bit has given me a strong desire to see him play a live action Riddler.
But not like, as any character other than John Mulaney? Like, let’s make a John Mulaney version of Edward Nigma. Just this socially awkward disaster man who somehow becomes a supervillain because of a misunderstanding he couldn’t correct without ‘seeming rude’. And now supposedly he’s committed to killing Batman but he doesn’t actually want to be the cause of a man’s death so he just obfuscates things with ‘clues’ and ‘riddles’ and ‘battles of wits’ until Batman inevitably defeats him and he’s just like ‘oh thank god please don’t hit me’.
Batman’s like ‘you need help Nigma’ and he’s just like ‘yeah that’s fair, I should probably look into seeing somebody at this point, I became a supervillain because of social anxiety and that might just be a red flag you know?’
“Hey, Batman, think you’ve seen everything, huh? Well, figure out how to deal with this! You know Gotham General Hospital? Yeah? Well you’ll never guess what I let loose in there!”
“Riddle me this, what has four hooves and presents a massive health and safety violation?”
“I see you there, Batman. And I also don’t want me to be doing what I’m doing.”
It’s absolutely critical to acknowledge that Texas didn’t just Almost Swing Blue out of nowhere, it was with a progressive Democratic candidate who spent the TIME to campaign and energize voters. I will always have criticisms of democrats and frankly the electoral system in general but I really feel like Beto did this in the best way that he could and it WORKED. Even if he didn’t win, he established a huge blue voter base in a state where voting democrat has felt pointless for years. It’s actually kind of cool.
