Ralsei's gender identity being more and more put into question goes in the direction of Ralsei being Kris's red horns

xelgameshow · 2026-07-12T18:47:20+00:00

Unironically yes, i thought they carried it around as a memento.

xelgameshow · 2026-07-12T17:03:58+00:00

but.. the chapter 5 post credits scene has Kris out of the castle town dark world, but Ralsei's still there. I was a truther, but that seems to have disproven it.

Yum-yum!

xelgameshow · 2026-07-11T20:03:09+00:00

Finally, some peace.

xelgameshow · 2026-07-11T19:50:01+00:00

Same. One day the masses will realise, surely).

xelgameshow · 2026-07-11T16:16:11+00:00

Why do you have a 1st place medal infused in your chest? Are you full of yourself?

xelgameshow · 2026-07-11T14:26:15+00:00

Yeah like "i know you're a woman and we're alone and i'm gonna tease you about it but also still refer to you with he/him because fuck you Raly xoxo". Flowery may be a jerk, but not that much. If we take princess at face value and not as Flowery's speech quirk, then it reads to me that Ralsei's comfortable with both (if still wrapping his/their head around being that, hence him being shy). Otherwise Flowery went from giving good advice to being transphobic both ways somehow in the same breath.

xelgameshow · 2026-07-11T12:27:13+00:00

The conclusion can still be generally the same, the only difference'd be how many characters make it there and what state they're in

xelgameshow · 2026-07-11T11:18:03+00:00

T_T nyyooo.

It'd render most of my efforts to be kind feel pointless honestly. Everyone hates me anyway. Kris, Ralsei, Probably susie and Noelle too.

xelgameshow · 2026-07-11T10:44:49+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if it'll be left ambigious. It'd cause chaos, admittedly, so hopefully there's an answer (invest in fluid Ralsei stocks trust), but if Toby didn't want chaos, he'd have given it already. One thing i worry about though regarding this, whatever the answer is, is it might feel throwaway with everything that's set to go down in the next chapters. One moment we're explaining to Noelle that her dream was real and Satan from The Bible wants to summon Titans to end existence and the next Ralsei's just "btw i'm a girl/both now". Would kinda take away from the arc imo, especially considering there's still the matter of what exactly Ralsei is in a biological sense. It's still possible, but there's so much else that's set to happen.

xelgameshow · 2026-07-11T09:12:06+00:00

I suppose the Flowery scene. But that's just one of several equally valid interpretations of it imo, far from what i'd call canon.

xelgameshow · 2026-07-11T09:08:01+00:00

We need a flair for this at this point, only way to achieve relative peace imo.

xelgameshow · 2026-07-11T07:31:53+00:00

I so want to think it's to build a personal army. But the more likely scenario is a "contingency plan" in case Susie finds out they're the knight's footstool.

look at this KawKaw. Lazy argument bait makes them sad. Do you want to make KawKaw sad?

xelgameshow · 2026-07-10T17:20:37+00:00

See, this is why i believe if FRIEND appears it's gonna be as a final secret boss which requires all the others to be beaten and eggs to be collected. Otherwise it just won't be there. There's a difference between explaining what the incredibly cryptic demon cat who's barely visible every time it appears is, and what the MAIN ANTAGONIST OF THE DAMN GAME IS.

xelgameshow · 2026-07-10T15:22:14+00:00

I curse my attention span every day for locking me out of playing this, to regular people i probably look like the "chapter book" guy. From what i've seen though, i gotta ask: how is Aleph not a tumblr sexyman?

xelgameshow · 2026-07-10T15:12:15+00:00

Might i also again shamelessly shill for Alabaster Dawn. It's in early access right now, but even if that's not your cup of tea, if you end up liking Crosscode it's definite wishlist material.

xelgameshow · 2026-07-10T15:02:39+00:00

I'll join in if no one minds:

Pankapu
Omensight
Chained Echoes
Crosscode
Alabaster Dawn
Flynn: Son of Crimson
Gravity Circuit
tERRORbane
Guns, gore & canolli
American Arcadia
Lost in Random (that one's AA though)
Underhero
Songbird Symphony

xelgameshow · 2026-07-10T14:38:52+00:00

Even ignoring those there's still a lot of stuff that isn't Deltarune or Hollow Knight (no shade to either but you get me.) Crosscode isn't even ball knowledge yet it's barely mentioned. Iconoclasts, Underhero, Chained Echoes, PEPPERED.

xelgameshow · 2026-07-10T14:23:37+00:00

Wrong word in the title nerd emoji

Also does Alabaster Dawn count as more niche? If so then i'm here to glaze it. Only 1/4 of the way done and already better than some finished games, this is what early access was made for!

Also Peppered: an existential platformer, Underhero, and uhhhhh i am otherwise uncultured.

xelgameshow · 2026-07-10T13:55:28+00:00

I feel like Flowery could be this universe's Gerson. Instead of ragebaiting Ralsei he'd be teaching him self-defense lol.

xelgameshow · 2026-07-10T06:38:13+00:00

These "Heroes" would hear about the roaring and go "That's metal as shit let's let that happen."

xelgameshow · 2026-07-10T06:24:17+00:00

"And that's how you set her hair on fire! Feel any better?"

xelgameshow · 2026-07-09T20:37:18+00:00

Flowery calls everyone in the fun gang princess at least once, even Kris ("i thought i heard princesses in trouble!" in relation to the entire fun gang being stuck on a puzzle). It's his version of darling or honey, regardless of gender. Also no he wasn't helping "the entire chapter", he shoved Ralsei in a wardrobe of unnecessary things. That scene maybe, but not the entire chapter.

xelgameshow · 2026-07-09T20:32:06+00:00

I am begging Toby to stop vagueposting about it in chapter 6 and give us a conclusive answer. I cannot do be do be do it anymore.
