in a room in between.

also, Mew Mew mentions that "the cats are not too smart," and that "when they find a target, they never stop chasing it until they get bored." it sounds like FRIENDs are entities who could only realistically track down the Forgotten Man by sheer coincidence or chance, like at best they could maybe stumble into one of the rooms in between if they got lucky, but they don't have the intellect or patience to deduce how to find him the way a Player does. they may be able to actively alter maps and even create/delete whole rooms on their own, but the Forgotten Man seems to navigate space in a way that's fundamentally different to anyone else they'd be hunting. and if they don't know (and are incapable of even remembering) that their target or the room he's in even exists, then their abilities might be little to no help in that regard.

Guess who was FUCKING right. Look what she did.

Lemme lay this out for yall.

Jevil is hard and obscure to beat violently, but if you do he tells you about Queen from chapter two.

Spamton’s dialogue is strange to parse and very cryptic, as well as having a ton of additional material in a freaking arg, but he very much foreshadows Mike and Tenna from chapter three.

The Roaring Knight is literally the main villain of chapter four, and Eram talks about the weird route which comes to a bit of a head in chapter four as well.

Now we have Pink talking about Image Friend being a scary ass pack of evil violent cats who wanna come eat your eggs (or well protein but you need the chapter five egg in order to get the scene and Lancer has already talked about the nutritional value of eggs so it checks out)

So obviously Image Friend is the secret boss of chapter six and we need to get all the eggs to lure them into attacking us.

That or they’re the main boss and by having all the eggs we make them way harder that’d be funny

To elaborate even more, Friend is really properly seemingly an Easter Egg in all of its appearances outside of chapter three (which uh cats have 9 lives 3^2 is 9 idfk) and Friend also has always been a force that is OPPOSED to the prophecy, which eggs are considered an “issue” for proper completion of a chapter.

The fact that this scene got dropped on the fandom right when we were settling into pirate Gaster and butcher of hometown shit….

I already thought this chapter had enough I’ve already made a theory video for the first time in my whole life because of this chapter and I have more in the oven and then they drop THIS SHIT on us.

Taking in a lot of the themes about creation in deltarune and thinking about Pink in chapter 5 had me thinking about her cousin and how he’d want to get in on making his dream come true as well (who wouldn’t?). It would be nice if MTT and Tenna could come to Castletown with Pink in chapter 6, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

I puzzled over drawing Pink as another ghost in the early part of the comic since ghosts in utdr lore dubiously can’t un-possess a vessel once they’ve chosen/bonded with it, and post-ch5, she’s possessing Asgore’s Mew Mew figurine, BUT for the sake of emoting/gesturing and showing her and MTT coming from the same place, I just had her as her ghost form. One last “HEY GUYS IM MOVING. GONNA GO LIVE AS MY REAL SELF BYE” before she’s gone. Gotta get her goodies, you know? And take her depressed cousin with her.

When MTT and Ralsei meet in the comic, I had Ralsei ask his name and pronouns, not only because it’s a first introduction and Ralsei is polite like that, but because he’s sensitive to the emotions of the Lightners. I also just like to see this greeting expressed in media because it should be so normal and natural, but with certain people in my life (even not explicitly anti-trans people) it turns a conversation tense or awkward. There’s nothing weird or wrong with asking someone’s preferred name and pronouns! And as a trans person, it doesn’t feel awkward to receive the question if it’s out of genuine respect and curiosity to get to know me. In fact, (like MTT in the comic) I’d be pleased to be extended that question in an introductory conversation. It’s no big deal to answer, just like answering “what’s your name?” Or “what are your hobbies?” It’s just another part of me, my gender identity. Nothing to be afraid of!

As for trans Ralsei, I see that trans coding within that goat… I don’t know what his gender identity is (since it seems even Ralsei has not figured that out about himself yet), but it’s there. Maybe we’ll see him explore more about himself, what he likes, who he feels he needs to be, and who he wants to be. And maybe Ralsei will realize she’s a girl or that they’re nonbinary (my personal headcanon leans Ralsei demigender—demigirl, demiboy, idk. But some kind of in-between) But that’s for Ralsei to figure out! I can only speculate… Whatever happens next for Ralsei, I hope he comes to love himself as an individual.

And Spamton. He enters the comic since he also has ties to MTT, but like with the rest of his life, he’s excluded, and worse, defeated by the reality of his world. It’s fiction, all of it. You might be able to draw the perfect you, might be able to imagine a body that would perfectly align with who you really are, but it’s all imaginary. An image. A dream. He’s trans despair (at least in this comic) for that discrepancy between body and mind that will always remain in some degree. His despair is the same as Mettaton’s despair, who narrates alongside Spamton’s visuals. They’re in unison there because they’ve both experienced the same feeling, only now with the help, care, support, and love of his community, Mettaton is able to feel more like himself—the true him through creation. It might be an imaginary Dark World, but it came to life with the love they all share, with the excitement they bring together to see Mettaton’s dream come to reality. When he leaves Castletown, he might just be a drawing of a fancy body, and Pink may just be a figure of a catgirl, but everyone they love helped them feel more themselves than they have their entire lives. And that made their real selves a reality.

And THAT’s why you share the pen with Spamton. He may be little and weird, you may not know him very well, but wouldn’t you have wanted that olive branch extended to you? Wouldn’t you have wanted someone to hand you the pen and tell you “I see you.”

When we first crossed paths, he was excited to see a "human" and declared his intent to capture me. I immediately thought of the guardian of Zone 1, Dedan, though I cannot pinpoint why.

what’d she mean by that 🤔 missed the vtmb vampire lesbians so
