WHAT IS DELTARUNE EVEN ABOUT?
I’ve been a man ablaze with passion since 2018, when “DELTARUNE” first released. I was but a young jit back then, but already I was consuming Undertale content at a very alarming rate. The doctors said that my brain was decaying, that my growth was stunted, and that higher education was probably not in the cards for me. While they may have been right, I had no need for school anyways, not when I had Undertale…
So, when “DELTARUNE” came out, it felt like my world opened up in a way that I never could’ve imagined. A new Toby Fox game!? New and returning characters?! A whole new world to explore?!! I was over the moon. This was it, this was what would save me!
Until I realized that this was only one chapter of a much larger game. Then I saw the truth: this was no ordinary Toby Fox game; this was a mystery, a mystery that I fully intend to solve no matter what it takes. I’ve scoured high and low to find the most likely theories, and I’ve even decided to present some theories of my own.
Today’s the day that we finally understand what “DELTARUNE” is all about.
W.D GASTER IS SECRETLY TEMMIE
The infamous W.D. “◻♓■♑ ☝♋⬧⧫♏❒” Gaster, a character that has eluded me for far too long. For years I have searched for clues to understand this… thing’s existence. Is he an easter egg, or an important piece of the puzzle? Is he a villain or an ally? These are all questions that I couldn’t answer before today. But now all that changes, for I have awakened my true self. I have come to terms with the truth, the reality that looks me in the eye, looks us ALL in the eyes.
W.D. Gaster is actually… Temmie.
Now you may be thinking, “Temmie? Really? That’s insane! Did you take your meds today?” And while you may be right to ask every single one of those questions, I ask that you simply think it through for a moment. Just take a single moment, and you’ll understand that there is so much in common between the two of them that it couldn’t possibly be a coincidence. They both have eyes, a mouth, even hands — all features quite rare for the average monster in either Tobias Foxington game. Truly, their resemblance is uncanny and unmistakable.
THE EGGMAN IS FROM SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
Now, many theorists have tried to understand the infamous “egg man.” He appears every so often and gives away an egg, along with some rambling nonsense about being “forgotten” or whatever. I mean, he’s so boring it’s a wonder no one has forgotten him. No one seems to understand who this guy is, though. Is he Gaster? Is he Kris’s long-lost therapist which they so desperately need again? Or could he be something else entirely? I seem to have figured this one out all by myself yet again. It all lies in the name — Eggman. And where have we heard that name before?
That’s right, the villain of the same name from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. The egg man of this game is simply a part of a crossover, and he will reveal himself to be the secret final boss of the “Gotta Go Fast” route, which you’ll be able to earn by finishing the game in record time. Truly, Tobiathon “Radiation” Foxelius the Fourth, you are a genius of the highest magnitude. I kneel before your radiance (silksong reference).
THE ROARING KNIGHT IS REALLY MY THERAPIST ROARING AT ME TO TAKE MY MEDS
This revelation is the most shocking one of all, but the Roaring Knight, the primary antagonist of “DELTARUNE,” is none other than my therapist, whose name I am not allowed to legally disclose here. I witnessed them take the black mask off after beating me to a pulp 348 times in a row. For context, I was attempting to no-hit the Roaring Knight so I could earn the shadow crystal, but they simply beat the shit out of me repeatedly while saying things like “There’s no such thing as a shadow crystal, it’s just a piece of glass,” and “Eating a random piece of three-week-old candy and calling it a ‘healing item’ won’t help you, idiot!” After they removed their ghastly visage, they force-fed me my meds, which finally removed me from the dark world and reawakened me in the light world, where I realized I was now locked in a padded white room. Smart move on their part since nobody would become a Darkner within the dark world if I created a dark fountain here. Well played, world-class psychiatrists… well played.
SO….?
Now that I’ve been stuck in this padded cell for the better part of three months, I’ve come to a few new understandings. Perhaps the most clear of them is that I probably should’ve played through more than just the first chapter of the game if I wanted to understand what was happening. Those other three chapters turned out to be really important, actually. The second most important thing is that I’ve been approaching this all wrong.
Now that I’ve seen the other chapters, I know EXACTLY what I need to finally solve these mysteries! I just need Toby Fox himself! If I want to know what happens, why not ask the creator himself? It’s so obvious, I can’t believe I didn’t think of this earlier! What’s better is that the voices in my head are telling me it’s a great idea, that the normal pills are holding me back, and that if I stop taking them I can begin the pilgrimage to Toby’s abode. The next time you all see me, I’ll know the truth. Toby will tell me everything… and then I’ll tell all of you what “DELTARUNE” is really about.
