Gonna be really funny when Sans sends us into his house to get something during the festival and this happens except that other brother named Aster shows up #deltarune
@Amalgam8Memory@frokiedude@tokidriffft this + the idea of wanting to stay special (in Kris's case, being the hero/most important despite feeling like a fraud) + jockington throwaway ch1 line about copying a ball 73 times sure does make me wonder
Feels like a lot of the importance of Kris’ character and being a copy was heavily stressed in chapter 1 in ways that were really difficult to notice. Surely 73 copies and SevenFour have no connection as ideas at all #deltarune
Did you guys know that this song existed??? I thought I was crazy for the 73 copies thing but this guy literally made a song where the lyrics talk about 73 heroes before talking about the 74th. Insane
@Amalgam8Memory@frokiedude@tokidriffft additionally, https://t.co/c58RyEnIrj ; the lyrics of this song describe a princess locked away in a tower who has witnessed 73 heroes try and fail to save her, all killed by the dragon

@Amalgam8Memory@frokiedude@tokidriffft the 74th gets so close it causes the princess to reveal that she, not wanting to lose what makes her "special" (being the princess locked in the tower), was/is also the dragon
@tokidriffft But if their origin was as a sort of copy or clone in the same way that the goner / vessel is just a collection of default options, them being a “copy” is less relevant because of what they literally are and more because of what it means for them as a person / character
@tokidriffft I would think it was! I also think it’s really hard to get a teenager to do anything you say let alone follow a convoluted Prophecy at the behest of someone who wasn’t themselves, so a lot of our friction with Kris has more to do with them trying to just be their own person
@tokidriffft@frokiedude Like it doesn’t HAVE to be something crazy but the sting of coincidence is wild. Kinda like it’s not too important, but not too unimportant, like many other aspects of the story
@tokidriffft@frokiedude I know! It’s just that the presence of those numbers together is randomly becoming more consistent in the narrative so I feel there might be more layered meanings (Toby also does stuff like this a decent amount). A perfect example is the newfound importance of 11 as a number. 7+4
@tokidriffft It’s not that the vessel we create IS Kris, but that whatever process created our vessel also happens to be how Kris was created. Writing this out I think back to Meat Factory the Sound Test track
