NTA and idk if this anon is still around. No one really knows what the remake is about, they're talking about the Mac version, namely Infinity.

At some point the character you're playing as has access to the dev tools and is warping himself around the level. You, the player playing as that character, watches it happen with no clue who is doing it. It's only revealed by the end that all of the universe-hopping and attempts to patch-together a universe where the bad guy wins results in the Player; who is the single solitary needle that is holding all of the multiverse and time traveling calculus together, is the one that gets the power he was seeking in the form of saves/reloads and when you beat the game: The level editor that gets unlocked.

I didn't make the Marathon parallel to DR but the idea this is a closed, stable time loop with people trying to manipulate it to make their specific outcome the true end but failing every time because the prophecy wasn't made for them, it was made for (You), was proposed before. It's not a bad interpretation of it.

thematically some kind of point-of-advancement for kris, it's also notable using the black shard as a weapon is also tantamount to gaining a miniature version of the knight's sword with the same colored slash effects

with being an RPG, the dark world's heavy, heavy, heavy dragon blazers theming, the existing final fantasy references and the silly class changes in status windows already like "moss finder" or "bed inspector" it probably does very literally represent kris becoming a knight in their own way

Short games are easier for normies to get each other interested in, and also make it easier for Toby to change things up on different playthroughs, which in turn leads to more normie chatter as they talk about the differences on each others' routes.

It's not. The slash doesn't have a clear direction and doesn't even move. Neither does Kris. It's extremely autistic to insist that Kris is secretly an anime DBZ ninja who can cut people at light speed while appearing to stand completely still. Even moreso to suggest that his friends would just ignore that betrayal afterwards and act like it didn't happen.

Honestly the most soul Homestuck ever had was right around Cascade. It had stakes, an actual crescendo, and that perfect mix of nonsense and gravity that made it fun. Everything after felt like Hussie was just seething at his own creation. The retcons, the meta, the bizarre tonal shifts-it stopped being a story and started feeling like watching a dev have a breakdown in real time. You got out at the last breathable airlock, anon.

I think this is a convoluted way of saying Toby bends the rules for our control to best fit individual scenes. Kris chooses not to open that door in the church at the end of Ch4 without any issue--that's what he wants to do, and it emphasizes his agency. He also totally complies with the "script" in Noelle's room on weird route--clearly not what he wants based on his face in the abort where he runs away with Noelle and the "please don't" dialogue choice specified to be his words, but he still puts the ring on Noelle. Our agency is emphasized. All I can think of for an in-universe explanation for the moment-to-moment changes in our power struggle with Kris is that something about the weird route innately empowers us to control. Also,

>Think of the hand-washing scene. Imagine if that scene wasn't interrupted with Kris tugging you out and going to slash the tires. You could put the scene like this:
>Kris starts washing his hands
>gap
>Kris stops washing his hands

not sure what you're getting at here
Anonymous No.716448571 >>716449974 >>716451673
>>716447342
It's not really convoluted, it's just a bunch of gabbing before saying, "Kris has free will within the rails of a larger narrative (the game you lost script).
Also this thought example is to show you that in that gap, Kris could technically do anything. If you think of it as a script where he washes his hands, and finishes washing his hands, he can do anything he wants in-between.
But if you also applied this logic to the couch scene then it basically comes up to this:
>Kris is talking with Noelle
>YOU appear
>Gap. [Kris can do anything within his free will in this time.]
>YOU rape Noelle

Then logically the scene would only possibly end when he rapes Noelle. So there wouldn't be any point to resisting or fighting back, even if he doesn't want to do it.

Really though, you can categorize this as pure cope to explain why Kris allows you to do things he doesn't want to do.
Personally I don't see how someone who so easily usurps your control, defies your orders, and alters them to his benefit can be considered totally under control. I also don't think you can obtain MORE control just by BEING SUPER DUPER EVIL. Because you, as a player, aren't doing anything that would justify such an evil-based powerup. Between the rape and Snowgrave, nothing happens.

I see. I'm taking the "pure cope" stance here; I doubt Toby has ever thought of his scenes in the way you've described, and any inconsistencies in your framework (how long can a "gap" be, exactly?) seem to be best explained as the result of Toby bending rules to make scenes that he thinks are cool.

Are there people that think Kris is totally under control? He isn't. And he isn't totally in control. And, sometimes, the world seems to screw him over, and whatever amount of weight he represents in a balancing act between himself, us, and the Delta-Gods isn't enough to keep the people he cares about safe

My interpretation is that all prompts come from Kris's thoughts, either consciously or subconsciously. Maybe the SOUL can force a train of thought sometimes, but not reliably. Kris can't (easily) outright refuse commands through these prompts, but he can subvert them. For example, he actually does look into the room detailing Asriel's search history, but he closes his eyes. He actually does turn the knob of the door in the church, but does not open it. Taking out the SOUL requires a very strong strength of will, so he almost always does it when the SOUL's guard is down.
I think this interpretation also explains why we can act out Kris's zany behavior, because those actions are the first things that occur to him. Other actions like >rape are against his conscious will but are possible because a dark part of him wants to act him out; the game outright tells us that Kris guiltily enjoyed the Snowgrave route. We're sort of a reverse demon in C.S. Lewis terms; we don't introduce thoughts to Kris, but our will takes precedence and act out what he's already thinking.

Another point behind my autistic babbling about YOU not being in control of Kris is because of what we're shown. It's not enough that Kris can seemingly remove you whenever he wants and you can't stop him because you're a little bitch. Toby went a step further to show you that this isn't actually that serious or difficult and Kris can do this whenever he really wants.

Kris removes you to drink a glass of chocolate milk.

He digs into his own chest, grabs you by the soul, and rips you out. So he can have a glass of chocolate milk.

Deltarune's story is a fun ride for sure but I'm still kinda disappointed we didn't get Jockington or Temmie in the dark world. It could still happen but it feels like the story has moved in another direction and the main cast is pretty much fixed.

If by "moved in another direction" you mean the direction it was obviously moving in to begin with.

Anon no one thinks you're smart, you're just vaguely annoying.
First chapter started in a classroom full of different characters. One is established right away as important, then in chapter 2 another two classmates have major roles. Then chapter 3 ditches that entirely for something else. Which is fine, but the idea that that was "always" the direction things were going in is obviously bullshit. Stop jerking yourself off.

I feel like I haven't seen any theory explaining why you can't get the Chapter 2 Egg in Weird Route, but you can get the Chapter 3 and 4 Eggs anyway

If I had to guess, it's because the normal dumpster room and the Snowgrave dumpster room are separate rooms and the transition to the egg room simply wasn't added to the Snowgrave room.

The true ending of Deltarune will be locked behind the all eggs + weird route combination, which will only be possible through save editing.

If you assume the Lightner/Darkner duality from Deltarune is analogous to the Player/NPC duality from Undertale, you will see that Ralsei essentially has a very similar worldview as Flowey: fictional characters are just toys meant to played with until they're broken or until you get bored, and there is nothing more to them. They're beings meant to serve our desires.
Ralsei just expresses that in a way that isn't overtly spooky like how Flowey does, and unlike him Ralsei seems to be aware he is also just a fictional character.

>Spamton knows a lot of background information and all you see him doing during chapter 2 is acting on it (he almost spoils who the knight is, drops tons of future information which sounds schizo in the moment, etc.)
>The alleys which all seem like good candidates for an egg room are all going to the left
There's a dumpster in all of those alleys, meaning that Spamton has made all of them his territory just for this moment.

You can't get the egg in chapter 2 because Spamton intentionally sabotaged you. Next question.

Yes anon, the other two classmates who were also established as significant. People already guessed Noelle was going to be a party member back in Chapter 1 because of how much of a focus there was on her. There wasn't ever a focus on the other class members. The only other classmate I ever made an exception for was Catti, because she had her own portrait sprite and wasn't a joke character. And she's still probably going to be significant later down the line, but she's basically the only one to have that potential.

Chapter 1 was just a demo, but the broad plot summary for the entire game was finalized before chapter 2 was released, and hasn't changed.
