all the updates are and will always be found in section 4. LAST MINUTE THOUGHTS AND ADDITIONS. i also want to shoutout @XGluonBackup who had an awesome discussion with me in my replies about this theory; they are mentioned in the doc!!!
@XGluonBackup woah i actually didnt know that very interesting... well doesnt that prove weird route is still canon? it doesnt make sense that toby would make only some normal routes canon while the weird route is always 100% going to be canon to undertale no matter what(choices dont matter👀)
@RubyPncake Noelle Knight (or Noelle + Kris Knight) wouldn’t work because Chapter 4 makes it perfectly clear that Kris knows EXACTLY who the Knight is.
@XGluonBackup i can see them doing so if noelle feeds even MORE into her jevil freedom motif "i can do anything with kris by my side" shenanigans, and she also learns that the world isnt real/is a game similarly to sans gaster or, more accurately, flowey
@XGluonBackup while u are right i feel like if this theory does end up coming true, this problem could be rectified by making weird route required gameplay. sort of In the same way where the neutral end/omega flowey fight in undertale is required for true pacifist/asriel
@XGluonBackup maybe the knight killed dess (more bootstrap paradox self fulfilling prophecy shenanigans) and is lying to carol saying they can bring dess back so the knight can have the most powerful person in hometown (status wise) on their side
@XGluonBackup also dess being disregarded is a fair critique to have, but i also think a reveal of why shes important to the knight mystery that we dont have a true lead on yet can fix that
like on one hand, cool my theory i thought up is being validated, but on another more selfish hand if i just got this theory out the day i made it instead of waiting i could have beat everyone to the punch
@XGluonBackup well, the bleak connotations is sort of the point, no? it turns the knight into a tragic character that we, the player created by doing the weird route
@XGluonBackup personally, im not a fan of krisknight or kris+noelleknight, and was mainly referring to noelleknight. ur paradox statement is valid and actually sound when attributed to noelleknight as neither the knight or noelle have appeared in the same room or vicinity
