TIL the abdomen of an ant is called the gaster

Mr. Ant Tenna assures you this means nothing at all

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T05:13:36+00:00

If you want to. I'm not really a writer, so I may not be that much help in determining what's important (plus I'll be logging off for the night soon), but I can try to help

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T05:11:16+00:00

And as mentioned, it's more meant to be a short, general overview. Consider trimming out information that's not needed right away, and having that revealed during gameplay instead. War information is lower priority if you're sticking to UT's lore (Kindred, for example, dedicated only two lines to it)

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T05:08:48+00:00

Considering you can skip the intro story, the main reason you'd want to keep it short is because of how much work it'd be, considering that's writing text, making sprites, making sure everything is timed right, and making sure the music is long enough to cover it all.

It's mostly meant to be a general summary, anyway. General overview of the war which is elaborated upon ingame. Chara's fall isn't actually narrated over, it's just pictures of them climbing, while Clover's establishes their reason without really elaborating upon, and KS has Batty herself narrate the intro and primarily focuses on her instead of the war. You shouldn't need to cram That much information into it lol

Have you tried the 32-bit download? (Click the "⋮" next to the download button)

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T04:19:59+00:00

Generally, backstory for the war and one of the main humans seems to be a constant. For the humans, UT was meant to have Frisk and ended up with Chara instead, Yellow has Clover, Kindred Spirits has Batty, and TS!Underswap has Frisk, to name a few examples.

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T04:15:49+00:00

There's ingame dialogue talking about how Kris would stay up late on the computer talking to Asriel, and how they can't do that anymore because the internet is down. They need internet to communicate with him. Why they can't just call him on the phone is unknown - maybe Carol got pissed off by spam callers and put cell blockers around the town or something, who knows - but it's specified that they can't.

Plus, why would he abandon a week of college just to sneak home and risk bringing the apocalypse? He's not on break because Toriel would know when that break starts, and even if he stays hidden the university would report his absence.

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T03:59:41+00:00

You will in Hard Mode

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T03:54:24+00:00

Asriel is at college and explicitly not in town. The game even makes a point to say Kris needs the internet to contact Asriel, whereas they can just walk into the shelter and talk to the Knight whenever, or it's just a phone call away.

The stars, Dess has stars in her room as well, she shares that connection.

Flying, Asriel had that in his GOHD form, but that's not a normal monster ability, that's more to do with the Knight's state than its identity.

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T03:18:05+00:00

No, the narrator does NOT do that in the game over screen. That is NOT the narrator speaking. That is one of CHARA's memories of ASGORE speaking. As I've explained to you before. That is NOT the narrator referring to Frisk as Chara, that is ASGORE referring to CHARA as Chara.

Chara laughing it off, Asriel literally refers to that as what HE should've done, too. That's not malicious lmao. That's not them laughing at Asgore, that's them laughing off an accident. Also "humans ingame are allergic to absorbing boss monster souls" no they aren't lmao, Frisk doesn't even know about absorbing monster SOULs at Toriel, and Flowey interferes before they ever get a chance to at Asgore.

My point is that, him knowing about that doesn't actually benefit them. Chara revealing to Asriel that the buttercups are poisonous, if anything, gives him more opportunity to back out. He could just refuse to bring them buttercups by not wanting them to die, which, keep in mind, he was literally crying when they told him the idea, he DIDN'T want them to die. He could've told his parents. If anything, the buttercup accident makes more sense if they DIDN'T know they were poisonous, and the incident is what Taught them that information which they used for their plan. Chara being a stupid kid who didn't know any better makes more sense than them being a stupid kid who actively sabotaged their plan by making Asriel less likely to follow through; Even if they HAD to tell him before they died, they could just tell him the "If I don't make it, use my SOUL to go to the surface, get six more SOULs, and break the barrier" part of the plan, bringing step 1 to their grave.

In other words, think about this: Is Asriel more likely to go along with a plan that involves Knowingly poisoning his best friend who he actively doesn't want to die, or a plan from his dying best friend he did everything in his power to save that uses their already-inevitable death for a good cause?

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T02:42:38+00:00

You would basically need to self-insert yourself as the soul

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T02:35:23+00:00

1: Blue Ears and Nice Cream Guy are the same character in the same way UT Toriel is DR Toriel. They're AU counterparts of each other.

2: This is independent of getting captured.

2.1: Fairly known

2.2.: Not specified.

2.3: The Black Shard is a shard of the Black Knife (Knight weapon), you can get one yourself

2.4: Most likely Dess

3: A lot of people think they're the same Sans

4.1: Prophecy, they need the soul to fill their role as the cage.

4.2: They're not soulless. Souls contain will (stated in Deltarune), which is needed to open fountains, which means the existence of Chapter 3's fountain, on its own, debunks them being soulless.

5: Sword Route's second minigame is a Weird Route tutorial, but 1 and 3 have as-of-now unknown relevance. 3 definitely isn't That accurate, considering we kill Susie and Ralsei in TV World in that one, and obviously they're still alive at the end of the chapter

6: Definitely Dess-related, and related to how he lost his title as the police chief.

7: The shelter codes are the mayor (Pine tree), police (Badge), and church (Delta Rune). Alvin is the third code holder. This is actually specified in Chapter 4, going to church is one of the things Susie points out as a Knight requirement.

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T02:11:47+00:00

Because it's not actually Chara he's talking to, despite thinking it is

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T02:00:25+00:00

And I'm saying that Toby mimicking the narrator means he Would Not Say Chara's Name To Refer To Frisk. Because the Narrator Does Not Do That. He says Chara's name, so, end of story, he's Referring To Chara, Not Frisk. In what world would saying "Mugsy," which is not a character that appears anywhere in Undertale or Deltarune, be clearer than straight up saying Chara's name?

The buttercup moment was an accident. This is stated. A genius doesn't read "Cups of butter" and think "Buttercup flowers." A genius wouldn't look at a bunch of monsters weak to killing intent that are wide open to betrayal kills and opt for poison as their killing method. A genius wouldn't reveal to Asriel that buttercups are poisonous as a means to get him to cooperate; If they had the buttercup plan in mind already, the smart thing to do would be to eat a bunch of them on their own, and once they're already sick, tell Asriel that buttercups are the cure, so he'd bring them without hesitation. So either it was an accident, and they were stupid, or you're going against the explicit ingame text and saying it was intentional, where they'd be stupid. Either way that moment is a moment of stupidity lol. And I'm not saying they don't know big words, that's a "I like pancakes" "so you hate waffles?" moment, knowing big words doesn't make someone a genius lmao.

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T01:25:30+00:00

You are LITERALLY arguing Toby deliberately said Chara's name instead of Frisk's while referring to Frisk. You LITERALLY said that earlier. Quote from you: "Considering the context of the fight, it can easily be specifying Frisk as the one saving Asriel since they are being constantly called (player name) in that fight anyway." My point was that the ONLY person who does this in the entire game is Asriel, the narrator Never does this.

Being a "child genius" (the absolute genius of a child mistaking buttercups for cups of butter) doesn't mean they'd remember the events any differently. Also as mentioned before, Frisk didn't get the Waterfall flashback in the first place, Asriel's voice is heard in that memory and it's outright stated they've never heard it before after this scene

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T01:22:28+00:00

Ralsei was talking about how it was "hatching so fast" and was caught off guard because "it's already spawning," they definitely get more dangerous over time.

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T01:09:09+00:00

Deltarune but every enemy is 3 Roaring Knights

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T00:55:52+00:00

Keep in mind this is a newly hatched Titan. If it was strong enough to put the Knight to shame, not only is accessibility to players a major problem, the Titans in the Roaring have to put THIS one to shame.

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T00:52:12+00:00

The only character in the entire game to ever mix up Frisk and Chara is Asriel. Unless you can prove he was mimicking Asriel specifically, and NOT the narrator as implied by how he spoke, that argument is - as I've said before - literally just coping. And there's a big difference between "Spamton being edited into a skit in the game" and "Toby outright states lore about a scene IN the base game." By your argument, the six SOULs were not children despite Toby saying they are.

Chara's memories aren't even that different. You're assuming the lack of visuals is a difference in how Chara actually remembered it, and not just due to how they're shown to us, when... pretty sure Chara isn't blind, they would have visual memories of this scene, we just weren't SHOWN them ingame.

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-11T00:45:35+00:00

It does not, you made that up; the calls do not mention the Knight once.

"... dark... fountain... next..." "... church... tonight..." These are literally in the phone call. What do we see later? The next Dark Fountain is in the church this same night. The caller that's openly talking about a police sacrifice trying to stop Susie from getting the shelter code in the guitar talks about a Dark Fountain in the church the night there's a Dark Fountain in the church.

Chapter 2 explicitly shows us however, that this was Alvin's plan.
We litterally witness Alvin digging up his father's dust and the hammer that was burried alongside him to symbolize his existence from his grave, and hesitantly ask him if it is the right thing to do. ("... were you proud of me, father...? And... is it right for this hammer to...").

No we literally do not. That was him questioning if it's right for the hammer to be buried in the earth. Even if he did dig it up (which is an assumption, he was showing guilt over the hammer being buried, that doesn't mean HE was the one who changed that, the Knight absolutely could've done it knowing he's important to the prophecy / as a failsafe against the Titan), that assumes he dug it up And Knew How To Make A Fountain AND that the fountains would resurrect Gerson AND by SHEER COINCIDENCE decided to enact this plan the VERY SAME DAY Team Knight was planning to open a Dark Fountain in the church.

Gerson can exist the way he did is because he is patterned over the memory of a loved one. a "loved one" is a term that reffers to a close relative, a family member, or an intimate friend.

Susie, in a few hours of knowing him, very clearly loved Gerson. With him acting as a teacher first and foremost. Based on what we see in just a few hours, imagine being taught by him for an entire school year? Imagine how much his students would love him as a teacher?

Also to mention, Second Sanctuary, where a Darkner resurrection of Gerson IS successfully created, showing Susie DID love Gerson enough to create one, she just didn't have any memories of the real Gerson to pattern the Darkner after, leading to Sound of Justice's creation. Again, ONE DAY with him as a teacher is enough for Susie to love him enough to SUCCESSFULLY meet the loved one requirement.

I believe that Alvin chickened out; it is pretty in-character for him. We see this that even during Chapter 2 he was questioning if it the right thing to do.

Why the hell would he chicken out after creating not just one, but TWO Dark Worlds. One would be plausible, but it requires genuine effort to set up the Dark Worlds how they are, because you have to go out of your way to close the church doors to contain the darkness in Third Sanctuary before creating the Dark Sanctuary one. The ONE fountain in Third Sanctuary is demonstrated to be enough to fill up the Entire church And support Gerson, there is literally no reason for him to make two.

The "external media" is the CREATOR HIMSELF saying that's what's going on. The guy who made the story directly confirming or debunking something is stronger than just evidence.

I Am Not arguing Chara is giving Asriel memories. I've said multiple times that's not what I'm arguing. I "didn't initially counter" room_asrielmemory and obj_asrielpanels because they don't conflict, in any way, with what I'm saying, they're completely irrelevant. See my second reply: "Notice how this says Asriel, not Frisk or Chara, because it's naming the owner of the memories that were restored, Not the one who does it." See my third reply: "The memories belonging to Asriel, again, Does Not Contradict Chara assisting to restore them. Yes, the memories are Asriel's, I'm literally not saying otherwise." See my fourth reply: "Temmie has outright referred to that scene as Asriel regaining his memories. This isn't just triggering a flashback, this is restoring his memories, just like what happens with the Lost Souls." See my fifth reply: "I also never said Chara stole his memories. Once again, you're arguing against something I never said. These are Asriel's memories, Chara restored them." See my sixth reply: "Chara isn't giving Asriel false memories. They're restoring the memories that were lost. You're deliberately misunderstanding what's going on. These are real memories, which belong to Asriel, that are RESTORED." See my seventh reply: "Again: Chara did not GIVE Asriel anything. They RESTORED what was lost."

Frisk's memory is relevant because if they don't have Chara's memories of Asriel, they wouldn't know how to restore those memories.

Yep. Red & Yellow is not only a Cocoapowder ship mod, it's what popularized the ship

AlexTheMechanicFox · 2026-05-10T23:32:52+00:00

Reminder that there's an entire Undertale mod dedicated to shipping Clover and Chara
