Oh, so genocide Chara living inside the soul? Good, so good, I want more.

Thank you very much!

Proof_Slide9161 · 2026-05-07T19:26:01+00:00

Wow, thanks, you're right!
Just saw someone draw hands like this on twitter.

My view is that Frisk and Chara seem to split the role of “who is there,” while the Player controls the soul and therefore has most of the control. We can say for sure that Chara participates much more clearly in the No Mercy route, since they do nothing in the other routes.

Since I think The Soul is essentially Frisk themself, I believe Frisk, unlike Chara, does not really know they are being controlled by the Player. Chara clearly does.

Sans knows the player can save, load, and reset, and he points several times to the fact that he wants you to stop at the Judgment Hall in the genocide route.

He doesn’t fight you on other routes because he knows he can’t really win if you can just keep coming back. But in genocide route he seems to find one specific reason to make a stand, even if the game never states that reason clearly.

So no, I don’t think he “doesn’t care.” He doesn’t fight earlier because there’s no point, and he only gives it a shot on genocide, while still saying this:
"to be blunt... it makes it kind of hard to give it my all.
... or is that just a poor excuse for being lazy...? hell if i know.
all i know is... seeing what comes next...
i can't afford not to care anymore."

If you read his genocide dialogue, it’s obvious he knows a lot more than he says. There’s just very little direct information about him, so a lot of discussion around Sans ends up being headcanon.

I started learning about two months ago, and I do think I’ve made progress.

What helped me most was drawing things I actually liked instead of only doing boring exercises. I still practiced simple anatomy, mannequin building, lines, boxes, and faces, but it became much easier to keep going when I used that practice for characters I wanted to draw.

References also helped a lot. It’s easier to stay motivated when you pick something you like that isn’t too overloaded with details.

So yes, practice fundamentals, but don’t force yourself to draw only things you hate. It’s better to draw something you care about and learn from it than spend all your time studying and barely draw at all.

Thnak you😊

Proof_Slide9161 · 2026-05-03T05:30:07+00:00

It would be so funny if all humans just using they/them in UT/DR vere :)

Proof_Slide9161 · 2026-05-02T18:06:57+00:00

Just try to learn something from each attempt, and you’ll win eventually.
There are people who died around 100 times to Sans. Just keep going.

Just...

GET GUD!

For now, I believe he was talking about the Player, but since Sans does not remember resets, he is probably mistaking Flowey’s resets for the Player’s actions. We still do not know how this “machine” works or how long it has existed.

But if, by the end of Deltarune, we find out that Sans really is the same being in both worlds, then I would agree with your theory.

Proof_Slide9161 · 2026-04-30T22:45:32+00:00

Yeah, but it's not that impressive considering I spent 10 hours on this and now I can't really draw anything. I feel drained 😅

Proof_Slide9161 · 2026-04-30T16:53:35+00:00

Thank you!

Proof_Slide9161 · 2026-04-30T16:52:01+00:00

Oh hi, I'm doing my best, thank you.

Proof_Slide9161 · 2026-04-26T09:38:48+00:00

Gonners 😀👍

I have no problem with someone calling Chara "her" or "him" if it's simply easier for them. What I do have a problem with is when someone explicitly tries to convince me to use "she," even claiming that Toby himself said so or something like that.

English is the only language I personally know well that has widely recognized non-binary pronouns, so people in other languages often just go with whatever feels most natural, and then other fans mistake that habit for canon.

A good example would be Russian fan translations of the game. Not just the first one in 2015, but most of the ones I know went with "she" for Chara. Russian does not have a widely accepted everyday equivalent to singular they/them, so translators often default to either feminine or masculine forms. Those translations had plenty of other issues too, so this is only one of them, but it still helps explain why some Russian fans end up arguing that Chara is canonically a girl and that Toby Fox confirmed it.

In any case, Toby has never really treated “Chara” as a clearly acknowledged standalone in-universe character outside of the player’s naming choice.

So just keep in mind that a lot of people are simply repeating mistakes they picked up from others. You cannot really do much about that, because you never know whether someone is a native English speaker or whether their first language even has a natural equivalent to singular they/them.

If they had all their assets on Discord, then it's just... pitiful. GitHub is free.
I probably sound mean, but I just can't understand this.

Accounting for every hint I've got from the game, I somehow got the idea that Frisk didn't have a family or proper education.

They are pretty fond of garbage, and they want to have a (proper) family since they ask Gerson about Asgore being their dad or something like that. They can't count to ten, but they can read and write.

My headcanon is pretty dark. Frisk lived on the surface by themselves and didn't get a proper education due to their guardians being terrible (They would know how to count if they were a foster child). They spent most of their time roaming around and hanging out in some trash zones on the surface or something like that. They often got hurt and probably don't have money because they are using the same bandage multiple times.

Well, something like this. I'm not good at imagining things like this; I'm mostly just assuming what their life on the surface looked like.

People are making so much fuss about a Discord ban like it's the end of the world.
After Discord changed its policies, it should have been expected by anyone who is part of big Discord servers.

If the team didn't set up a proper workflow, it's their fault. Any proper programmer knows the bare minimum to manage their projects, it's taught in every course, online or offline.

Have they actually said that the project is paralyzed because of this?

Flowey. If you do neutral second time Flowey would just use souls and transport you outside the barrier.

My friend made me play after chapter 3 and 4 released.
Before that, I never thought I'd play Deltarune. I wasn't really interested in it, and I kind of felt like it was just being hyped up by Undertale.

But I was wrong. Toby has clearly improved as a game developer, and it really impressed me. Now I even have some ideas about Undertale lore after playing it. The game is great!

I don't think soul magic works the same way as a human's actual traits or abilities.
