My AUs and works

- Data Mind: A crossover AU that mostly takes place in Just Shapes and Beats, but also directly includes Geometry Dash and Project Arrhythmia. It's a more slice of life paced world focused on a GD player forming a new life in Paradise, while also focusing on all the individual kontentsu's lives.

- Distant Reality: A Worldless AU where Edda and Aven are outcasted from society and teach eachother how to survive and live through their opposite views on life.

- Reject: A DVC AU where the dragons thrive alongside people in a more equal manner. It also includes my own dragon species OCs living in the world.

- Pokemon Permafrost: A original work where the pokemon region faces strange and harsh weather patterns, where the protagonist trio teams up with a strange Luxray variant to save the region from becoming an inbabitable land full of mutated pokemon species.

- Pokemon Connected: A slice of life paced world where trainers have been swept out by a physical infection, and many have moved their intelligence and personalities into their partner pokemon. Pokemon now live advanced lives, many branching into unique subspecies and gaining strange typings. The suspicious labs that transfered minds are now quietly running experiments on the many new mutations pokemon are taking.

Barracuda is a mechanic (or engineer? Idk xe makes metal and robotic things) and is the one that rebuilt Blixer into her main corrupted form. While xe isn't the quickest at strategy or the best at fighting, Barracuda works on most of the constructing aspects to the plans the others work on, along with caring for the other burrowed corrupts medically.

Something I've seen debated a lot now is what could be beyond Hometown in the light world. There has to be more to the world because Asriel isn't here, he's in college in another city or town. And Susie has mentioned that she's moved homes several times.

I, however, think that Hometown IS all of the lightworld. The exit/entry to the town is blocked by police tape making it so no one comes or goes. Noelle said how no one has been on the other side of the lake, though they can see land past it.

Ralsei breaks a 4th wall a bit in chapter 5, and we now know that he (along with Flowery and maybe Susie) can see the menu screens. Because of the way this is presented I think that this isn't just a normal in-world thing where all characters have menus. Its only brought up when the player is around so I think they can only see it when the player is there and using them.

This feels. very strange to me, not in a bad way. Because now who knows how much of the 4th wall will be broken, how far will the rules to this world go. So, acknowledging that, I think that all of around Hometown is nothing. Out of bounds. Their world ends when you reach a place the player isn't meant to go.

However, the world ends when you reach a place the player isn't meant to go. NPCs in all games often go off to places that the player can't follow, and that's true for Deltarune too. The easiest example for me is with Kris leaving the player in the sink while they slash the tires at the end of chapter 2. They are not the player, so they go places on their own and we can't follow. Because to us, there's nothing there. If we were to leave, anyways. That's not intended place for us to go.

But again, there's a few places in the world that mention or show places outside of the town. The best way I've been imagining it is like Gummigoo in TADC. When he realizes his world is made up, he starts realizing that the memories he has, like his mom being unwell, don't feel complete. Like it was code given to him but it doesn't actually exist. I think it could be a similar case for Susie moving homes. With Asriel off at college, I imagine it in a lot if RPG games or NPCs in general when you don't see them for a while and they return with new skills or items or intel. They went to a place that isn't real to the player, out of bounds, and were given code as an NPC. Of course, NPCs are unharmed by the nothingness because they don't exist after leaving the screen.

So what I'm trying to say is, NPCs go places the player can't and they are unharmed and unaware by going out of bounds because that's what's intended for them. So what happens when a player follows to a place they shouldn't?

In the weird route for chapter 5, Noelle takes Kris into the lake to try and get to the other side. Usually, the player wouldn't be able to go into the lake, so of course there's nothing over there. Its not intended to go far out into the lake. Noelle theoretically could go into the lake alone and be okay when she's off screen. But because she took Kris and the player far into the lake, they reached the actual end of what's made of the world.

For the whole sequence of the two drowning in the lake, Noelle's sprite for the talkbox shows her going deeper into the water until she's submerged. But the very last talkbox of the whole sequence, the sprite isn't her underwater, its a different one. I think this means that is the point where the water and world ends and they truly fell out of the boundaries of the world. If you stop proceeding before that last talkbox, you seem to abort the route as the two return to shore.

So I think this. Deltarune's world will have the 4th wall broken COMPLETELY down in the continuation of the weird route, and we will continue off somewhere we were never meant to be. The weird route is how you stop the prophecy from being fulfilled as you as the player have gone somewhere entirely unintended and the story can't normally continue on.

I got six critters, Kazu, Mikah, Dubwoofer, Arum, Dezmond, and Trace. Four shapes, a player and an anthro. I started first with Kazu and the game immediately tried to feed him an apple in the tutorial which he's allergic to canonically </3

Mikah and Dubwoofer are in a relationship and I've been tweaking out over that /pos love me some silly gays

This is a good time to mention that things on TL are not canon. If that wasn't caught already. My island is also called Timeskipper, I'll be referring to things that happen in the game as TL Timeskipper

Kazu and Trace are also somehow in a relationship despite half their conversations saying that their interactions weren't enjoyable. Kazu just really liked her and it ended up working out

I made a foam apple food so Kazu doesn't get himself killed by a fruit, and I don't think he liked it anyways. So there's foam apples to eat on the island and tomorrow ima make them sheet metal to eat because funny

Tomorrow I'm also adding Zyres and Andez to the island and we'll see if ChallengeZone thrives in all universes

So. Amazing game. Might doodle some of the things that happen. I kinda suck at making miis and their voices but shhh it's fine you can tell who's who
