Chaos

What i AM interested in, is the fact that your choices do matter perhaps not because of the ending, but because of how they affect the journey you take to get to that ending. Which would actually be even crazier if it does all somehow lead to one ending with all the shit that went down in the last chapter (no weird route spoilers bc you really do just have to watch it i cant describe it at all)

Anyways this all got me thinking abt Gerson for some reason and how i think a lot of his dialogue is actually really relevant for the plot of deltarune. Specifically when he talks about the “Lord of the Hammer” story that was written based off the prophecy.

All of the quotes he uses to describe each chapter are actually pretty accurate to whats happened if you dont take it too literally

(ie. chapter 1 the fun gang stopping the chaos king and “the dragon” aka susie from going down a dark path, chapter 2 the fun gang saving the queen from starting the roaring ((or saving her from berdly in the chariot scene which i personally think is more accurate and funnier)), chapter 3 traveling between islands and discovering a darkworld of old lost forgotten toys and memories Kris had in their childhood (and just the literal darkworld being made of islands and themed around kris’ past), chapter 4 having gerson (the smither) give you a weapon ((its funny how chapter 4 matches least to its description because gersons all about not caring about predetermined story lines)), and chapter 5 being a literal melting pot mess of jealousy from all characters (seriously, why tf was that chapter so messy emotion and relationship wise jesus christ small town bullshit really goes crazy))

Whats even more interesting though, is what he says about the rest of the chapters

“…What happens next?”

“Gehehe! Who knows?”

“There was only one more chapter…After that,”

“It all stopped.”

“That next book, it never did get written.”

“The story, it became so grand, so overwhelming,”

“Some say it swallowed up the author himself.”

“The ones who could write the next, the youth, the pen was lying there for them to pick up.”

“To make the next page”

“…they never did.”

.

“But…there is one thing that can overwrite the dark.”

“A white pen, known as hope.”

This may be inaccurate but i believe that this can allude to one of two things,

Either A) the roaring DOES happen at some point

Or B) We’re going to be forced to go into the depths and seal them somehow (possibly finding where Dess went)

The wording “it all stopped” and, “the story became so grand so overwhelming. Some say it swallowed up the author himself.” To ME, feels like it means the story will abandon the prophecy completely. Not in the sense of the roaring or anything but i mean in the way of the roles being so liberated and morphed that it completely breaks the limitations of it.

That and the bit of hope being the only thing to overwrite the dark, makes me think that perhaps the ending will be rewritten by the hope of the fun gang in some way or another, saving the world and all that jazz.

But, who knows! Maybe there will be different endings! Maybe the ending doesnt necessarily have to happen with you? Maybe it doesnt matter at all.

All i know is that predicting deltarune is practically impossible because there’s always something happening that you’re not in the know about. Your knowledge is limited to whatever kris is doing and usually to whatever they allow you to know anyhow.

The thing that matters most before these last two chapters is the kind of journey you decide to take to whatever ending is in store and how those decisions affect everyone around you. And maybe that’s all that matters.
