May I ask why exactly you like worms so much? Do you just collect them?

*a large wooden wagon arrives at your doorstep, pulled by two oxen. it seems to contain several large barrels, which smell like damp soil. the driver steps down and tips his hat to you*

"Uh, yeah, I've got one shipment of worms for a Mr. Kaard, from an anonymous donor?"

made a deltarune oc after seeing the bunch of them after ch 2

i got good amount of vibes from ch 1 ost and thought that would be a great idea to make one for ch 1

this is a baby messenger pigeon, i think i don't need to introduce his name

doves is a baby boy, kinda similiar to ralsei but much more energetic and childish

before the spade king became a new ruler of the dark world 1 doves was a messenger for a clubs king (his suit is clubs so), but after the spade king just basically locked everyone in cages he was just walking around and giving people random letters with the most random text, it could get from poetry to grocery list bc he just doesn't have anything to do, but he do tries to find some business, for example he started to write short poetries

also he was living in a castle before but the king just kicked him out of castle bc he thought he was really pathetic and before susie and kris appeared he just roamed around the dark world 1 almost living in trash

he supposed to be smaller then ralsei

if he was in deltarune now he would've live in the new an empty town with everyone else at one of the random houses near the shops or smth

thats pretty much all

I fuckin adore these theories but two brief things

1. Just because we never see monsters use magic doesn’t necessarily mean they’re *unable* to - it could be that they simply choose not to, in my opinion likely in relation to their respect and worship of the Angel, as the town seems to be very religious and perhaps magic is seen as blasphemy. (Yes I’m inserting my ‘Kris has religious trauma’ theory into this, fuck off /lh)

2. Whether or not Spamton has a soul, the allegories to Flowey ARE there - Flowey being a result of one royal scientist’s actions and Spamton being another. What’s interesting though is that Spamton wasn’t JUST an object before he was granted knowledge of the nature of his world; he was an Addison - a being whose entire existence was meant to be chasing the Lightener’s attention. This has some interesting parallels to Flowey’s existence also chasing Frisk’s attention, however for the sake of committing a lotta murder instead of buying from a crappy infomercial.

Overall, absolutely love this a ton!!

Some Deltarune connections to Undertale

Aight so since I literally can’t stop talking about this game, it’s time to talk about DETERMINATION and its importance in Deltarune and Undertale. Undertale’s focus on determination is very clear. It’s present throughout the game in every save point, and it’s an important plot point as well since it is a power only human souls possess. It’s something that monsters lack and that Asgore entrusted Alphys (as well as Gaster before her) to research and study. Gaster probably built the DT Extraction machine and Alphys used it for her research. In Deltarune, however, determination is largely absent. The save points speak of some vague power that the Dark World emits, but the only main reference to it comes from Queen. 

In Undertale, no monster naturally possesses determination, or at the very least no monster has a large amount of it. Undyne is the only one confirmed to have a large amount, and eventually her body melted just like Alphys’s experiments. In Deltarune, however, we now know that every Lightner, including both monsters and humans, has determination. It’s not something unique to humans in this universe.  Also of note, monsters in Deltarune don’t seem to be able to use magic at all. There’s no mention of it and no visible magic usage anywhere in Hometown, yet most of the monsters we see living there are magic users in Undertale. I don’t really have a theory on this, apart from my idea that the Light World and Dark World are both results of Gaster’s experiments with Dark Fountains and his desire to literally create a new world, one where monsters are on top and don’t NEED to use magic.  Anyways, onto the next part, where I will talk about everybody’s [number1ratedsalesman1997]… Spamton G. Spamton. Ok so, from the Spamton NEO boss fight and just talking to him in general, it’s clear that Spamton’s goal is to obtain a SOUL so he can escape the Dark World, possibly so he can see the Light World, but maybe more broadly he just wants to escape from the game itself, into “heaven” or OUR world. The world that we, the player, exist in.  I’ve noticed a lot of similarities between Spamton and Flowey. First off they’re both two soulless characters. A line from one of the entries in True Lab made me think about this connection. 

Spamton is without a SOUL. and he gained the will to live. Unlike Flowey though, neither Spamton nor Jevil nor anyone else in the Dark World have the ability to SAVE or RESET their worlds. Both Jevil and Spamton do know that they’re living in a game, so they have a similar amount of general awareness as characters like Sans and Flowey, and probably Gaster as well. Gaster is definitely the catalyst in all of this, the one pulling the strings. He gave Jevil and Spamton the knowledge that they’re living in a game.  Finally, let’s talk about the Gaster followers. In Undertale they give the only dialogue that tells us anything about Gaster’s life and creations. Gaster follower 3 says this “One day, his experiments went wrong, and…Well, I needn’t gossip. After all, it’s rude to talk about someone who’s listening.” Their accounts of Gaster’s death vary somewhat but it’s safe to say something he was working on killed him.  The Gaster followers very much resemble the vessel you create at the start of Deltarune. I don’t know if this is a coincidence but there may be some connection between Gaster’s followers and the vessel that’s discarded in Deltarune. It would make sense considering Gaster is literally the one talking to the player at the start.  They both have the same general color scheme. Perhaps there’s a connection, perhaps not. If I find more interesting connections I’ll make a part 2 to this :)

Quick art of the sillies

♥️Deltarune Interlude♥️ Again, really excited for when the new chapters drop, but let's draw some of the beloved lil' Sillies in the meantime~!! Jevil and Spamton were no-brainers, and Hatless Ralsei is here to fill up the final spot! I think I also want to try some bigger buttons for perhaps the Queen, it would be a great pairing with perhaps the Tasque Manager and Swatch/Swatchlings!
