Deltarune equipables: an analysis/theory.
(Why Winglade is the key to understanding transformation.)
I’ve noticed a pattern with the lightners’ weapons beside the “Kris has pencils and Susie has hair things- and a ladle.”
To start, a lightner’s perception of objects makes them change accordingly in the dark world. Hence why TV world is so much more personal. It’s Kris’s fountain, so Kris’s perception of the darkners changed them in that way.
So if we apply this logic to chapter 4, and what we know about Susie, we can figure out more about how a perception can truly affect a darkner.
From the sanctuary, we learn that the Wicabels are petrified for being too “fun.”
And from this, we can estimate that-
1. The church’s bells were put away because they were “fun”.
2. As such, they don’t belong in the first dark world.
3. The knight knows about the bells being put away.
But then… in the next dark world…
They’re fightable. They’re free. Because Susie doesn’t know about that. She doesn’t know about the bells being put away. And she wouldn’t have any reason to think they don’t belong, heck, if they weren’t put away, she would have messed with them too.
What else appears in both dark worlds… but has different forms.
Well, quill pens- the winglade’s lightner form- are kind of complicated to use. Actual quill pens require a specific angle to write with and a certain writing style to not smudge the ink, often also needing a writing table with the same angle to let things come out properly... Something an author would have, but unless you’re more formal with writing, you’d probably not know how to use them.
Additionally, most of the knight candidates are likely to actually know calligraphy. Carol, Rudy, and Asgore are older. It’s a skill they might have learned over time. And Dess? She’s Carol’s daughter. Carol would definitely have made her learn it at some point.
But unequivocally, there’s a character who never would have learned calligraphy. Someone whose handwriting is messier, who never got the chance to learn. Susie.
And in Susie’s dark world, Susie’s perception, the quill pen turns from a weapon to a darkner.
Aligning this with other weapons and darkners and even equipment, we see a pattern.
Weapons are things seen as tools.
Susie can’t use a quill pen. So in her dark world, it’s not a weapon. It’s not usable. It’s a thing, not a tool. The knight can.
Pencils. Erasers. Brushes. Razors. Hell, even the ladle (AbsorbAxe). They’re tools, utensils.
What else can this mean…?
Well, if weapons are tools, I wonder what a REAL weapon could do…
