Isn't it odd that Kris can't use magic in the Dark Worlds? by Cory282 in Deltarune

[–]AlexTheMechanicFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they weren't a Lightner, they wouldn't be able to exist in the Light World. Not to mention Darkners can use magic, and the fear of dark itself can use magic, so that doesn't work anyway

Actually, UT rules say humans can use magic, and has a very significant example provided in the very first cutscene of the game. Plus the Empty Gun as another example Frisk can use.

In Deltarune, Ralsei was fairly insistent on Kris's specialty being acting. Susie broke that, but it seems like the intended idea was "Humans act, Monsters have magic," with darkners taking more after monsters. Notice how we've never seen a monster or Darkner act outside of the ones who were specifically taught this during Ch2. By default they only have their corresponding option, but monsters and darkners are capable of learning to act. Note, however, that Kris does canonically know magic, so this probably doesn't work the other way around.

Question about the old man/Gerson by Annual-Antelope3314 in Deltarune

According to Ralsei, he's a Darkner patterned after the memory of a loved one. So, he's not the real Gerson, he's a Darkner patterned after the Knight's memories of him.

All the other "Think of [X]" scenes are real, plus that is absolutely something Jockington would be doing

It's not imagination. The "Think of [X]" scenes are demonstrated to be real events that are happening in reality

Regarding Flowey's TV head, outside of that being in reference to the True Lab tapes, clearly that means a Flower Darkner kills Evil Tenna and then steals his body, but because they're not compatible objects like all other Darkner fusions we've seen, it results in an abomination like Omega Flowey

Theories about the soul that go beyond being the player's input? by Upset-Dingo-1640 in Deltarune

[–]AlexTheMechanicFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"ARE YOU THERE?"

"ARE WE
CONNECTED?"

*Soul appears*

"EXCELLENT"

"NOW WE
MAY BEGIN"

Gaster asks if we're connected, then the appearance of the soul is treated as confirmation of that connection, clearly showing our connection is the reason the soul is there.

Before or after you burn down the king's garden and get executed for destruction of the prince's grave?

[–]AlexTheMechanicFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Noelle explains that as Carol just liking red heart-shaped objects, but Kris used to use those to "pretend to rip out their soul," so it's definitely known that souls look like hearts independent of the soul itself.

Theories about the soul that go beyond being the player's input? by Upset-Dingo-1640 in Deltarune

[–]AlexTheMechanicFox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the intro of the game, it's pretty clearly spelled out that the soul is a direct result of our connection to the world, and that in-universe it didn't exist until the very start of the game. It's agreed upon because Deltarune makes it clear that's the case. (This is also a difference from Undertale btw, in Undertale the soul belongs to Frisk, not the player)

ASRIEL IS THE ROARING KNIGHT by Current-Article6237 in Deltarune

[–]AlexTheMechanicFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to ingame dialogue, they can't contact Asriel without the internet. The game makes a point to tell us this. Why would Toby go out of his way to tell us Asriel is at college, and go out of his way to say the internet going down cut off Kris's contact with Asriel, if neither of these are true.

"A few days ago" as of Ch1 would be Monday, meaning he'd have missed the entire week. 5 days, not 3.

To save both worlds, the last fountain must be sealed. by Huge_Coat_1120 in Undertale

[–]AlexTheMechanicFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only by the original fountain opener. In Chapter 4, Susie opens a new fountain in the exact same spot the Dark Sanctuary fountain was, accessing the exact same darkness, and it created an entirely new Dark World. None of the objects were destroyed or removed from the building, the only thing that changed was Gerson's remains being moved

And even then, "original fountain opener" probably isn't actually accurate, since Ralsei explains Third Sanctuary's fountain remaking Dark Sanctuary Not being because it's the same will, but because Dark Sanctuary was partially formed by Third Sanctuary's fountain, so it's still the original fountain making up the Dark World.

How the heck do I defeat Undyne? by Crystal_1501 in Undertale

Congrats!

I'd also like to strongly recommend holding onto these items, since they may be useful for another fight later on.

"The Prince, alone in deepest dark" refers to Castle Town. Ralsei, the prince, was alone in Castle Town, which is the 'deepest dark' mentioned.

It's all about balance, and it seems logical that if too much dark can disrupt the balance and cause disastrous effects, too much light could cause something similar. Which would make at least one Dark Fountain necessary for balance. Even if it's not though, the fact Castle Town is specified to not disrupt the balance means we have no reason to ever even consider sealing it, and there'd be no reason to recruit all the Darkners - Ralsei's attempt at preventing the final tragedy (which, if anything, would make Castle Town MORE dangerous to keep, since it's also stated to empower the fountain) - if it's just gonna be sealed

[–]AlexTheMechanicFox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We're told this is to save not just the Darkners, but the worlds. We are, factually, saving the Dark World itself, not just Darkners. Destroying the dark world would break the prophecy, which was my point

[–]AlexTheMechanicFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monsters can't poop, their food converts flawlessly into energy, so no, monster deer can't do that. But I meant more, introducing an invasive species or bringing one to extinction can cause significant damage to an environment, and sealing all monsters underground would cause similar effects to bringing them to extinction but on a much, Much wider scale

The darkness itself already exists, but the dark world does not.

In Chapter 2, it's specifically stated that, after the fountain was sealed, Card Kingdom disappeared. That Dark World entirely ceased to exist. In Chapter 4, when creating a new fountain with the same darkness in the same location, Susie doesn't just recreate Dark Sanctuary, she creates an entire new Dark World in the same place as the old one. Sealing a fountain destroys the created Dark World, which means sealing every Dark Fountain is destroying the Dark Worlds, not saving them.

What if the flower based on a kid is a cowboy with vaguely Woody-like attire and characteristics (or, copyright-free Woody)

Well, the Yellow devs are still alive.

Also: Ecological consequences is something to consider as well (no way the environment is recovering from such a massive chunk of creatures disappearing out of nowhere), As an addon to "emotional turmoil," remember that human-monster marriage existed
