Some bullshit on deltarune and chapter 5 (but mainly dess posting lmao) megapost
Some ramblings and thoughts I have on deltarune before chapter 5 release I wanna toss out there before anything is revealed. Mainly on Dess and how Dess, moreso than whomst. May contain spoilers on things older than most of ya
Don't wanna make it long so imma keep it a buck fifty. Dess figured out she was a video game character, in a game where her death/disappearance causes a chain of events that would lead to the roaring and end of her world. She found something in the bunker (either in a dark world version or just in the bunker) and It drove her mad, made her angry, and ultimately set her on a path that would isolate her from everyone and force the prophecy to begin.
That's the general gist of it. Now for more derange ramblings.
Dess couldn't trust anyone. Her parents are part of it, the cops are a part of it, and the town religion is a part of it. She can't go to Noelle cuz she didn't want this burden on her, thinking Noelle is one part of the prophecy. She can't really go to Azzy since he's too deep into the religion. She can't really go to any of the adults in her life cuz they probably won't believe her, and the one who would just straight up dies (gerson).
She can go to Kris, but they're also too young and is (probably, to her) part of the prophecy. She can't rely on them too much, even if they can keep a secret and help her here and there. What she really needed was a FRIEND.
FRIEND is an instigating piece of shit conjured by dess out of her will and need to change the prophecy, but also to see it through (this rambling is gonna get more deranged trust). Her hopes and dreams that, if she plays her cards right, might save everyone. It didnt work out obviously but there was an attempt.
In the end her choices didn't matter. She was at the end and the only thing she could do was end it. She and Kris made a promise to never let the prophecy happen, and never let anyone know what was going down about her and the world. After that she disappeared. Either drowned herself at the lake or got lost in the code or both or neither. I wouldn't put it pass Toby to have a child want to kill themselves cuz they hated the world they lived in.
This is essentially the through line for Lake Mungo, btw. It's just Lake Mungo
That's the general idea. There's more but at that point it'll just be fanfic writing (1.like it ain't fanfic writing already lmao 2. it's literal fanfic i've been writing on and off for the past year. It differs from what I wrote above but it's close enough). I have more bullshit i can spew, but imma hold off until chapter 5. Just a quick thing:
As of the day before deltarune chapter 5, the arg is completed. We are given this funny lil image. Some are saying it's in the past or it's referring to Dess, some say it's the now and it's a way for Noelle to finally move on from Dess if she hadn't already.
Like I said above, this is sorta the through line for Lake Mungo. I don't think it's gonna go the same way, as there are 2 more chapters left and things can change, but this image kinda just does it for me.
Also, Kris might be heading the same way Dess is. This is their final want. To see Noelle happy with whatever or whomever. After that it's whatever.
