now they'll NEVER let me out of this zip file

Ranttu, they/them, adult. I should hire someone to perch beside my desk holding a giant chisel to clock me with whenever I start drafting a post that's too pretentious. 🇵🇸

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO

HOW MUCH LONGER NOW...? MY

DELTARUNE

Happy 1 year anniversary to chapters 3 and 4! This game means so much to me in ways words cannot describe. Instead I redrew one of the first pieces I made post chapters 3+4 as a little tribute to the game that changed my life.

Original piece is here

[egwegman]

(Un)happy pride month to these two… In celebration of June, let me know if there are any queer characters and/or ships you want me to draw in my asks! It doesn’t have to be limited to just Deltarune btw!

Also, it’s not too noticeable but version with vest in honor of the new ch3 art

[egwegman]

Ranttu and I were talking and joked about there being a sliding scale of people who think Dess was like Mari vs people who think Dess was like Vriska. Whenever I see fan content she’s either the sweetest older sister figure or the most abusive scum of the earth.

[acs-karanttu]

personally in the scale of mari to vriska i like my fandesses about 40 percent mari and sixty percent vriska, but a more 30/70 ratio is good too.

[egwegman]

Had this sitting in my folder and finally decided to start working on it again (WIP)

[egwegman]

Sneak peak of things to come!

quick sketch

Kris Soul/Kris knight/ERAM! I love drawing this goober! Their design came up shortly after the first splitting paths comic so I held on to this until I reach comic 4. I doodle them a lot during work.

DELATRUNE THEORY SURVEY FOR CHAPTERS 3&4 THEORIES:

DELTARUNE THEORY SURVEY (CHAPTERS 3&4 THEORIES) by ShirubaGin

I am glad to see someone just as interested in Deltarune theories as me here. For each theory you'll be rating them from 1/10 to 10/10. You'

Yes that's right you get to rate theories from this era. This time it's also a little shorter. Much less ground to cover with just these chapters, plus we've only had it for a year. Instead of 300 it's right about 100 theories. Everything from Carol Knight to Friend is Gaster to Neo Woody Theory. I am releasing this quite late into this era so I'm hoping for people to share this around as much as possible. Please do! I'd really appreciate it. I want the results to be as good as they can be!

Thank you for taking your time with this 🐐

pre-deltarune chapter five theory tierlist incoming! (ish)

to anyone following me for my yt channel, i'm working on a casual "pre-chapter five theory tierlist/ final prediction wrap-up". @egwegman has prepared me a list of popular theories to rank- i'm also taking suggestions for any theories you'd like me to include! if you have one, I'll credit you by @ when I read it out. drop them here or on my yt post!

[kittensnax]

I think about this all the time

[bees-pees]

finally finished this steven universe crossover (so far)!!!!! decided to post the fun gang etc and chapter 4 together cus i drew them almost back to back

ideas for everyone below the cut (if you care)

kris: the soul being their gem is pretty self explanatory. them being the only human in deltarune felt comparable to steven being the only gem hybrid in su so i went with that

susie: shes purple and shes strong. shes obviously gonna be an amethyst

ralsei: i know hes a prince so itd make sense for him to be a diamond but i did not want to do that. so i just made him a high ranked gem and because his whole thing is knowing the prophecy aka the ‘future’ i made him a sapphire

noelle: thought about making her a lapis because of her snow powers but a pearl felt more like her. especially because her story involves following peoples orders and learning to defy that

berdley: hes blue hes annoying hes a bird hes intellectual. aquamarine was an easy pick

the roaring knight: made sense to make them a corrupted gem i feel like thats kinda the vibes in deltarune at least. making them a SNOWflake obsidian was very intentional as well!

jackenstein: a jasper made sense for his build and colour palette but also because i could give him a helmet to represent his pumpkin head. i think he was corrupted and then the fun gang reverted that

miss mizzle: very self explanatory. shes different to the other mizzles so i made her a fusion

gerson: his armour, hammer and anvil reminded me of bismuth’s blacksmithing. i feel the vibes are pretty similar here

LOVE FINDS ITS WAY TO THE GIRL.

[abandoned-quiche]

i had a dream where as spamton was desperately begging to the receiver, the garbage noise cut out and was replaced with what seemed to be the input and output of some kind of machine. being fed into the machine was everything spamton ever said in his life from the moment his benefactor made contact onwards, and the output was a robotic voice making one-word assessments of each thing he said, like it was grading him. so it was like

"Hey, everyone!" ........................................ ADEQUATE

"It's me! Spamton G. Spamton!" ............ ADEQUATE

"Number 1 rated salesman, 1997!" ........ EXCEPTIONAL

"Has THIS ever happened to you?" ....... OK

"Abandoned for the slime you are?" ..... MEDIOCRE

"Sales, gone down the drain, drain?" ... MEDIOCRE

"Now's your chance to be a big shot!" .. PERFECTED

"My eyes are burning!" ............................ ABYSMAL

"Can anyone hear me? Help..." ............... UNACCEPTABLE

and it just went on like that as he was left to wonder what all of this was for and if he ever mattered at all

The Splitting paths

(Content warning: Implied suicide )

[acs-karanttu]

Like everyone else, I am waiting in fear of the inevitable Susie crashout that will occur when she learns that Kris is both possessed and a traitor. And while I do think that "this means I've never had any real friends" will be a part of it, I don't think that'll necessarily be the first thing Susie jumps to in anger. Susie's developed a lot since ch1 and she's more aware than we give her credit for. I also think realistically, in a situation where you find out your first real friend has been possessed by an eldritch time-god for your entire friendship, the more immediate reaction would be more at the "then who the fuck have I been interacting with?" part than the "rejection" part. There's "having no real friends", and then there's realizing the person who you thought was your real friend was actually fucking Cthulu.

[acs-karanttu]

Warning: I am about to descend into complete, wild speculation here. Mostly, I'm not really afraid of that outcome because I have an even bigger Susie-related Fear. As of now, with Ralsei still hiding his knowledge and Kris working with the Knight, and them both having ulterior motives for completing "main" DW adventures, Susie is the only character whose goals align with the player's. She's the one whose main objective is sealing fountains, befriending Darkners, and stopping the Roaring in the same way ours is. I am TERRIFIED that, when Kris's betrayal and possession come to light, Susie will correctly perceive us as "still on her side" and for a time, on better terms with us than Kris. Especially since the soul is so vital to sealing fountains/ beating titans that Susie (and Ralsei?) will probably need the soul to be somehow in their party in order to make any progress. What if Kris, at some point post-betrayal-reveal, leaves the roaring group chat and comes crawling back to the fun gang, who are forced to let Kris back on their team because they need the soul, even though they don't yet forgive Kris? What if Kris is allowed back to the good side under the pretense that Susie is letting back their soul, not them, and that she still hates them, and a guilt-ridden Kris just agrees? and we just have to pilot them around a section of the plot in the world's most miserable silence. Any remotely human-like dialogue option is gone. Kris is back to chapter-one levels of giving us nothing. That's the situation for a short time until Susie decides to forgive Kris. What if there's a section where we're encouraged or Ralsei-triggered to grab control of Kris in a situation where we usually wouldn't, because the FG don't trust Kris to act on their own, but do trust us? Wouldn't that be the worst? I'm losing my marbles. I need chapter five. 

[acs-karanttu]

there's no universe where I expect susie and ralsei to be best buddies with the blind idiot god azathoth whose puppetting around their friend's body but the fact that us and susie are like two of the only beings with motivations that match even a little regularly makes me Genuinely Afraid of where the hell deltarune is going with that
