@No1IsSleeping@psyclonesgay@HugoTheWaffle@kralsusielover No, those are most often Kris, gaster is the ALL CAPS text that appears in-between things. The beginning of the game, some death screens, at the end of chapter 4, and generally commentating on our actions. It refers to the game as "MY DELTARUNE" so we can assume it is the creator
@No1IsSleeping@psyclonesgay@HugoTheWaffle@kralsusielover "The Voice" as the fandom calls him lets us use to interact with the world inside. It might be an isolated ecosystem that only exists where we can see it, or it might be a window into a much larger world. It's hard to say.
@No1IsSleeping@psyclonesgay@HugoTheWaffle@kralsusielover DELTARUNE is this "game" that we're being provided by our mysterious benefactor who talks and acts exactly like we know W.D. Gaster to act but I legally can't say is Gaster because it hasn't been said out loud yet. It's some sort of...system, with rules that can be broken, that-
@No1IsSleeping@psyclonesgay@HugoTheWaffle@kralsusielover Which is all easily fabricated, so it's entirely possible Hometown is an isolated testing ground for DELTARUNE, albeit that means all of asgore, toriel and rudy's college memories, all sans, alphys and susie's memories of their former homes, are all implanted and false.
@psyclonesgay@HugoTheWaffle@kralsusielover In hometown. Specifically. We don't know about worldwide, or in the country, or even just outside of the bounds of hometown specifically.
@RUB1NATOR God, the attention to detail. The player stops to decide which way to go, so kris stops getting inputs for a moment, and relaxes briefly before being dragged along again.
@gonergnostic Of course, that's assuming this truly is the dream, and we truly are at the end. It may be an end. An end. But will it be the end? Or will fate remain...UNALTERED.
@spookylinguini Does she fucking live that long? The gut-wrenching "a noelle is just a noelle" scene where she's practically in a fugue state going through the motions with susie and the lack of a side_bfail jingle indicates to me weird route isn't aborted in ch5, either way.
@aceofdarts68 I do like when the fandom keeps in constant mind sans "can inexplicably teleport" gaster's ability to inexplicably teleport. Every camera change that guy should be in a different place. 60% of his appearances in the games have him doing it on the same screen!!
@Br0cK689@777_peaches@SmanicDaHotdogg Well yes, obviously. But "don't forget your resentment" and "don't forget what happened" are very different statements. Of course he misses the people he cared about, the chances he had, the life he had. That doesn't mean he can't also be wary of what took them from him.
@SmanicDaHotdogg We got a taste of that [BIGSHOT] energy when the new FRIEND lore dropped, but I'm still yearning for the glory days. Still one of the most fascinating characters in the game. Top 5, at least, alongside kris, carol, flowery, and ralsei.
@_senby_ Plausible result of ch5 aborted weird route, given there's no jingle and it's clear we're too far gone and the crushing ending sequence with "a noelle is just a noelle" btw.
@777_peaches@SmanicDaHotdogg I think his immediate hostility towards a determined human might speak to, assuming it was intended as foreshadowing, something sincerely fucked happening by our hands or kris' in either route. "I've seen this shit before, not fucking around this time." attitude.
@CaptainDizzyDX People are ripping you really hard for this, but I consider "Sonic, dead or alive, is m-m-mine!" to be metal sonic's most iconic line that he should always use in his first appearance in a timeline, and that's a line that appeared once and he might not have even said. So I can't.
