@Kirwithdot This is a crack theory that in the end doesn't mean anything but, what is Ralsei is somehow similar across all "darknesses" like, including imagination? What if every dark fountain creates a different Ralsei that shares the memories of all the other Ralseis?
@Kirwithdot In my opinion cringe culture is holding back art alot of the time, "Ralsei is evil" is an AU idea that inherently will get picked apart by weirdos with no whimsy, but it's not like Toby Fox is gonna kill you for mischaracterizing his characters, I think he loves AUs
@lebonk123 If you don't like a part of a story, just make fan works where things went differently, if Gerson is anything to go by, Toby sure as hell is okay with it.
@lebonk123 Do people realize there is nothing stopping them from still making fanart fan fic etc. for any two characters as long as it's not problematic? Canon is not "reality" as some people seem to think, it's just as much fiction as anything you make as a fan
