Cosplay Detroit:Become Human

because APPARENTLY i just can’t get over doing underwater pictures heres rei, yep. there it be. 

photography by terra-time!

I’ve been thinking about how chalk dust probably looks a lot like monster dust. Probably why Toriel opts for a red dry erase marker.

So. Deltarune happened. (SPOILERS)

Or more specifically, the end of Deltarune happened.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love this new world and there is no doubt a deeper story to be uncovered from it (like, who is that Knight that everyone keeps talking about? Will we ever destroy that Darkness Geyser? Why was my sweet fluffy soft goat(?!) boy Ralsei in that get up the whole time? TOby pLS), but I’ll be focusing more on the more “UnderTale” side of the story.

I believe that Deltarune is set in an alternate universe. Not a different timeline, but a different universe altogether. Many of us assumed at the start of the game that Deltarune is the Post Pacifist Route world, because we’re shown to be living on the surface with Goat Mom. But a lot of stuff in the game doesn’t add up according to the UT universe that we’re familiar with. 

My main evidence is Asriel. When the game first mentions him I gasped out loud because how in the world is Asriel supposed to be himself and alive Post-Pacifist Run??? isn’t he supposed to be Underground as Flowey? The way they talk about him in the game suggests that our character Kris, Asriel, Toriel and Asgore were a family and that us and Azzy grew up together on the surface, which shouldn’t be possible Post-Pacifist run.

You could say that Deltarune was meant to be a prequel to UT rather than a sequel, but then how would Asriel be grown up and in college if that was the case? 

Furthermore, Undyne and Alphys dont even know each other (my poor Alphyne heart), which is a stark contrast to how they were Post-Pacifist, and Catty and Bratty hate each other, as opposed to their strong friendship we see in UT. There’s more evidence than that of course, such as how the Underground isn’t even hinted at or mentioned in the game as part of the monsters’ past.

Deltarune is most certainly not set in the same universe as UnderTale, much less the same timeline.

This brings me to my next point, regarding our favourite first fallen human, Chara.

I think its safe to say that most of us assumed that Gaster was speaking to us at the start of the game, given the Gaster references and hype Toby gave us on twitter 24 hours prior to Deltarune’s release. But if we were really speaking with Gaster, we would be seeing Wing Dings text, like in Entry Number 17:

However we see only see English text against a black background, which means that the one speaking to us must be Chara. No other character (other than Flowey, but his text font is different) has spoken to us directly in the manner Chara has.

Chara asks if we are connected with them, and a soul appears on screen.

This is OUR soul, not Frisk’s, not Kris’, but OUR, the PLAYER’S, soul. We can infer this from undertale’s genocide ending:

and the fact that when we SAVE in Deltarune, it saves under the name we gave ourselves as the player.

So now chara is connected to our soul, and they want to create an in-universe “vessel” for the soul to inhabit. One that they can control in the game itself. They don’t control it for majority of the game however, they only control it at the end of the game, when- well.

When they rip OUR soul out of the vessel. I can only assume that they were able to transform the vessel that we created into their old human form through determination or something like that, I’m not sure. But how were they even able to access and control our soul so freely in the first place?

We gave it to them at the end of the Genocide Run. And the reason why they are in this Deltarune alternate universe is this:

“and move on to the next.”

I assume that with our soul that they obtained from our Genocide Run endings, they are now hopping from universe to universe, from world to world,  creating “vessels” they can control in universe to continue their genocidal agenda. 

A genocidal agenda that we enabled. We’ve been over this countless of times for the past 3 years though, so I’m not gonna talk more on that.

They have now hopped into the Deltarune alternate universe, and I cant wait to see what they do next.

 I wonder how they would react if they saw university-aged Asriel in the Deltarune universe.

A thing of interest I just thought of: there are many instances in the game where our choices are openly dismissed. The most notable instance is in the starting of the game itself, when Chara discards the characterisation and name we gave to our vessel.

which, of course, reminds me of:

We are truly facing the consequences of our actions, huh. Good on you, Toby. 

There is probably going to be more content from which we get to see more of Chara’s action and motivations (and more of their CHARActer!!111!!!!11!1! //slapped) and i eagerly look forward to it.

Anyway, this is just my two cents on the matter uwu sory if i got sometuings wrong i only got back into undertale liek… a few days ago so im probably rusty as fuck. uwu + this is my first meta theory post so its prob shitty asf lol

i cant wait the next chapter, lesgeddit 🤠🤙

thanks for reading!
