so i’m pretty convinced every dark world in deltarune is tied to a specific lightner and their feelings about the real world. 

so noelle’s is pretty obvious right, i’m not the first one to say these things obvi 

- noelle is controlled by an overbearing mother figure

- cyber city is a place of sparkling lights that noelle always wanted dess to take her to 

- she learns to stand up for herself/know her own strength

we can infer that this is based off noelle’s own life because of things like berdly pretty much piggybacking off her even now, and noelle’s mom being implied to be the mayor, which means she’s probably very busy and may be a stricter parent 

we know a LOT less about susies personal life than noelle but i think its pretty reasonable to assume ch 1′s world is for susie 

- she’s shown kindness by lancer which allows her to lower her guard and befriend someone

- she learns to drop her bully facade 

cool, yeah, but if queen was like a dark world version of noelle’s mom, what does that make king?

- everyone in the card kingdom is reluctant to fight you, but king is forcing them 

- king doesn’t back down no matter what and takes everything as an invitation to fight, no matter how small or unrelated

- SAYS one of susie’s lines

that line is from this scene:

all kris did was walk into the hallway as susie ate the chalk- she’s taking anything as an excuse to go on the offense 

SO: king is supposed to be a reflection of the person susie is acting like now. if susie is able to see how kings actions affect card kingdom (and lancer, her friend) she can learn that always trying to fight people before they can fight you isn’t the way 

that being said the dark world i don’t see people talk about as much is castle town

SO. castle town huh??? its an entirely empty town, with only ralsei, the lonely prince, inside of it. What Does That Mean.

i think castle town is kris’ dark world. 

castle town is a small town, just like hometown, and it’s clear kris feels alienated from the other people in hometown: theyve expressed a desire to have horns grow just like their family, and theyre the only human in town, seemingly even not liking to look at other humans. they’re also usually quiet and reserved, especially compared to the town’s darling boy asriel, so 9 times out of 10, the people in town will talk about kris’ brother to them instead of talking to kris. 

so an empty town would be a pretty good representation of how kris feels about their hometown. 

about ralsei, a lot of people think he’s connected to asriel in some way or some form (reasonably), but taking a step back to look at ralsei:

- the only one in castle town

- a goat

- an anagram of asriel- it’s a different name, but it’s clearly just a diminuitive version of the original (asriel)

- asriel is college age while kris is a teenager; ralsei is kris’ age 

- the only darkner in the prophecy 

- 

has reddish-pink horns and eyes 

i don’t think ralsei is supposed to be asriel of some kind. 

i think ralsei is a reflection of kris. 

going back to the goat and the reddish horns and eyes, kris’ family are all goats, and kris wore a red horned headband for a long time to be like them- ralsei IS a goat, and the reddish horns and eyes are a trait unique to ralsei: asriel never had those traits, but kris does 

if a dark world is supposed to reflect a certain lightner’s feelings, worries, or problems, there’s a very good chance that castle town is meant to represent how kris feels alone in their hometown, and wishes they were more like their family and their brother 

(this may also explain ralsei getting somewhat pushed aside by the story and having a sort of ‘secret’ connection with kris- he’s a reflection of kris.)

(also im sorry but im a ralsei-is-kris’-headband truther)
