I draw Deltarune every day until ch5 comes out.

DAY 7 - FRIEND

Since I’m moving out this fall for college, I wanted to start making some money on the side with my art as a physical product. And with Deltarune Ch5 just around the corner, I thought it’d be a perfect time to use some old IMAGE_FRIEND designs I’d had on the backburner for some time now!

It’d mean a huge deal to me if you were willing to support, or even share with anyone you think may be interested. I hope to create and sell more in the future, both fanwork & original, along with the usual commissions I always do (which are open as well, by the way), so any and all support would be incredible. Thank you so much!!

the appearance of an all-caps statement ("INTERIM RESULT") more directly connects this page to gaster, but it doesn't negate the fact that everything up to this point hasn't been all-caps, which in my opinion almost certainly rules out gaster being the speaker for ALL of this dialogue.

i think what's likely happening here is that gaster is facilitating someone else speaking to us, since he's seemingly the only one who has access to our actual reality - so if someone else wanted to communicate with us, they'd have to use him as a middle-man.

while we still know incredibly little about FRIEND, one of the main things we know about them is they're connected to gaster in some way. to me, they'd fit this role of being someone who's tied to gaster enough to have him connect them to us, while not being powerful enough to do it themself.

mainly though, in tandem with that, i think it'd make sense just logistically in terms of what exactly is being teased. this is all a big teaser for chapter 5, which we know will almost CERTAINLY have our first actual appearance of FRIEND, considering all of the pink and gold foreshadowing and stuff. plus, FRIEND already has ties to the weird route (which this page is specifically a teaser for) through the sword route and everything.

maybe it's a bit of a cop-out answer, but to me it'd only make sense that this other mysterious character being teased before chapter 5 is the same mysterious character who we're 99% sure will be formally introduced in said chapter.

i cannot feel it anymore.

i cannot feel.

it sees me

in the dark -

it smiles at me

it moves at me

not one hair away from me

it's tail around my sword.
