Do You Know The Chess Theory?
Do you know the chess theory?
In very short summary, it says that Deltarune's bosses are based on chess pieces. You should find it on YouTube if you aren't familiar with it.
As someone who believes it's true, I noticed that the king and the queen are the only pieces that appear only once on each side of the board. The others appear twice, not counting pawns.
I got the idea that future chapters could have two final bosses and two secret bosses. Maybe the route you're taking (pacifist/neutral) would determine which one you're fighting.
But then...! I remembered...! The Woody Theory! (The next s. boss is based on Woody from Toy Story and Toby's "Friend Inside Me" shitpost) If the next secret boss would have a sentient speaker box inside them, that could count as two people! And therefore two pawn pieces.

I've been thinking about this for quite some time, and I have more ideas about it.
I'll start with my design for Ralsei, who is renamed to Flares (it's almost an anagram to Ralsei/Asriel)



Sorry for not making good drawings. (The eyes on his wings are not real images. However, they are more realistic and detailed then the rest. And they're either pink or black.)
In this AU, there is a blockade on the computer which prevents users from changing its settings (so people can't for example change the wallpaper to something weird or change the language). This means that if Flares wants the main character to help him turn dark, we need to disable the blockade by entering a password to access the settings. So the KeyGen should be replaced with something password related. (I don't know what.)
In his dark mode, he starts overusing Internet abbreviations and slang terms and doesn't use proper punctuation anymore ("4 example smth like this") since I guess that dark mode is more popular among young people than old people, and young people care less about typing properly.
I don't want to focus only on Ralsei, so here are the other roles: Kris - Jevil Susie - Seam Ralsei - Spamton Noelle - Asriel Berdly - Sweet, Cap'n and K_K Lancer - King Rouxls - Queen
I swapped the characters based on them having similar colors. You can call this AU Hueswap. I don't know if I'm even going to make more posts about it, but I probably will since I have some ideas for Kris.
If Ralsei was Spamton in some AU I think he would be the light mode.
Because few people use it.
It's mostly old people, so he will act like a boomer and not understand humour.
There are jokes about light mode burning people's eyes, so he would be really bright. Made out of light, perhaps.
And he can eat batteries because white colour takes more energy to display.
Oh, and he can use a textbox with inverted colours, and every time he'll try to say someone's name, we wouldn't see it, because it would be white, therefore invisible on the background. (I got this idea from using Discord light mode and people having white roles XD )
For Spamton NEO's equivalent we would enable dark mode somewhere deep in the settings, and then he would be black.
Of course this references the difference between his Chapter 1 and Ch 2 designs.
And then he would talk about wanting to be (yet) darker. This is kind of referencing most dark modes being dark grey (and there being a black mode option sometimes)
I can't find any motif of freedom here though, sooo.. maybe it's not the greatest idea, but I don't think it's bad neither!
Update: His dark form will allude to shadows. They are stuck to the ground and have to mimic their owners.
I drew this about two months ago, I don't know why I haven't posted it anywhere



I noticed the only Outerrune Spamton drawing is made with MSPaint areograph, so I decided to draw it.
Silly idea: Duo, the duolingo owl, as Spamton.


Someone stopped using it (maybe Dess?? Because she went missing) but they still have an account.
As a speech quirk he replaces some words with their spanish (or other language) counterparts, as long as it's understandable.
He talks about Lingots instead of Kromer.
He could relate Kris' SOUL to these hearts that you loose when you make mistakes, not sure how.

As a Spamton NEO replacement he would turn into Super Duolingo, that is the name of the premium subscription.

He could could have a space suit like it Duolingo Plus, which is basically Super Duolingo but older.

(Plus - when Spamton says he will turn into Spamton EX when you defeat him by fighting, that would be replaced with Duolingo Max I think.)
And when you defeat him, the subscription ends.
And... wait, what is this thing?

Streak freeze? Like in the weird route, where Noelle has to freeze enemies? There should be something related to that thing.
Maybe he could call freezing darkners a streak but Idk what to do with the Streak Freeze then. ...Wait, OK, I know. He would call this a Freeze Streak. (The words are swapped.)
That's all the ideas I have


Damnit.
