I Always Saw The No Mercy Route Chara As Not Actually Being Chara Themself, But Instead Being A Demon

I always saw the No Mercy Route chara as not actually being chara themself, but instead being a demon that took possession of chara's body at some point or another. And here's the kicker: I believe they started existing in Deltarune first.

Not only does chara calls themself "the demon that comes when you call its name" if you play No Mercy twice in a row, but every single big mystery in the game has ties to demonic symbolism somehow. From gaster's "666" type value to spamton suddenly having extreme success due to a "mysterious man on the phone" and then skyrocketing back to the bottom of the barrel awhile later. Does that not sound like a pact to you? Not to mention how Ralsei calls himself a "good devil" if you give him one of Jevil's items.

Everything revolves around demonic symbolism, and I think that's 100% intentional. It may be controversial to say this, but I view gaster himself as being the devil of this franchise, the being who lives between the worlds of light and dark and the one responsible for Spamton's call and Kris's strange entity (or multiple entities) in control of their body.

I might elaborate on this later, but my current theory is that Kris, as a kid, always wished to be a monster, and that desire ultimately brought them to making a pact with the devil to achieve that, maybe with the help of Catti. Unfortunately, though, it did not work the way they wanted to. I guess we could say it was a "deal gone wrong", that ultimately caused a demon to enter kris's body instead — the same demon that would go on to possess chara in undertale. This is why I so heavily believe Kris and Ralsei will fuse together by the end of the game, making a direct parallel to Chara and Asriel fusing together in undertale. Kris would finally be the monter they always wanted to be.

Anyway, what do you think? I'd love to hear your takes on this!

you get weekly spamton emails advertising hot humans in your area, and the first letter of each email forms the sentence "Mike is the love of my fucking life" finally confirming their canon romance

alright utdr fans what do truck freaks get wrong answers only

I wanna take a closer look at the scene where Kris makes a new fountain.

First of all, those little sparkles before they stab the ground. Are those important? Maybe, maybe not! Here are my observations.

My first thought was, of course, SAVE points. They're little white twinkles, right? And you need Determination, which is also associated with the ability to SAVE and LOAD, to make a dark fountain. Makes sense to me!

They start out looking like the ones on the right in this image, and then change to look like the ones on the left. It's also worth noting that their position is randomized - thank god I realized that before trying to translate them to notes in a song like that youtube comment hypothesized.

Ok, now, this might be a stretch, but they also kind of look like Titan eyes, don't you think?

What with the crosses through them and stuff? Actually, come to think of it, the Titans have SAVE points for faces, don't they?

In fact, that same cross pattern from the sparkles also emanates from the ground when they actually stab it.

If it's too hard to see in that image this one might also help.

So... cool, we found a possible connection with the sparkles and the save points and the titans, but, like, is there any meaningful conclusion to be drawn from it?

...

Not that I can think of!

I like to call these kinds of posts "theorist food". I don't have a theory, but theorists should probably know this in case it winds up being helpful for one of their theories!

...

Ok! Bye!

Artists of all kinds, especially new artists. I am gripping you by the shoulders right now. Listen.

It is impossible to be completely original.

It simply cannot be done. No matter how hard you try, there will always be something out there at least slightly similar to what you do. And that's okay. We always stand on the shoulders of the giants that came before us, and they stand on the shoulders of the ones before them.

The first art drawn, the first song lyrics created, the first story told, were all of facts of life humanity already knew. Don't twist yourself into knots trying to create techniques, subjects or styles that have never been used before.

IT'S HAPPENING

ITS FUCKING HAPPENING

HOLY SHIT SANS UNDERTALE EMAIL??? REAL??????
