"chad" (hehim or theythem) welcome to my BLOGE !!!!!!!!!!

[deltaruminations]

hello i'm a gay adult and i love delta's rune!!!!

i'm kind of an incorrigible lore guy at heart but i also like nice art and shitposts. also i guess i just post a lot about gaster now unfortunately

check out my gastor playlisdt… if u want…..

i have bluesky now. also

this is a sideblog, comments from @generative-adversarial-nitwit are me :)

tag reference:

$ Speculation Station

theory, analysis, and readings by others addressing general UTDR topics. this can include any ideas or opinions that i find valuable, regardless of the degree to which i specifically agree with them. i have a certain affinity for any perspectives that engage with lore in thoughtful and meaningful ways

$ Chad’s Farts (Fanarts)

dumb pictures i drew lol

$ Chadley Deltaruminations Original Lorepost Corner

my own theory, analysis, and/or readings. i try to reserve this for posts that i think others might actually find valuable. if a post has this tag, it means it's a sincere opinion, even if it sounds stupid as hell

$ 666 Mystery Man Lore Hell

a catalogue of my descent into Gaster Simp Madness. includes sincere opinions (overlapping with previous tag), shitposts, and also sincere opinions disguised as shitposts. this tag largely exists because i think it funne but also to draw a distinction between actual lore exploration and goofy fanfiction Bull’s Shit (see next tag)

(addendum: $ 420 Non Gaster Lore Hell is a more generalized version of the above)

$ Wingdings the Boy (deprecated)

posts that explore the single most important question in all of UTDR: what if WD Gaster was a teenager who went to high school and made friends and it was cute. this headcanon space or whatever is informed by some genuine lore opinions but is not representative of them lol

$ Fault Lines

sort of an evolution of the previous tag that takes itself a little more seriously (unfortunately). Teen Gaster Bullshit Ahoy. kind of a vehicle for embarrassingly sincere dess/gaster content. sorry

$ Waltz of a Shattered Man

secondary gaster analysis tag because i guess im just that much of a fucking Gaster Guy (the worst kind of theory guy) now lol. this is meant to collect opinionated character analysis in particular moreso than lore/story stuff, but could overlap with 666 Mystery Man Lore Hell. these are also sincere opinions unfortunately

$ Cringe Jail for Fandom Fail (deprecated — see #Headcanon Zone)

dumping ground for deranged headcanons. feel free to filter this one out lol. you should read the tag name to the tune of the bill nye theme btw

$ shitpost zone

self-explanatory

$ deltatunes

musique

(the '$' in my tags is a flag to distinguish personal metadata from fandom tags & tagtalk)

drew some blellow a bit ago, today I decided to fix that redesign I did.world is beautiful

I adored them the second they appeared together

[deltaruminations]

you know that episode of venture bros where hank finds the titty armor. asriel knight to me is like hank venture in titty armor

[deltaruminations]

i think it's disingenuous to hand-wave broster on the basis of it only having "1% more evidence" or whatever when the difference in evidence between broster and dad/grandpa/etc is A Little Bit versus None. like sorry but that's not "broster is slightly in the lead" it's "broster is the only possibility that has even a whiff of something approaching evidence for it" lol

[deltaruminations]

it's important to know. i'm on asriel's side about the ska

[deltaruminations]

dess holiday acting like she didn't watch kablam as a kid and have a crush on june AND henry

[deltaruminations]

[deltaruminations]

i like to think dess's preoccupation with coolness is partly out of embarrassment over being weird and cringe when she was younger... warrior cats RPer on the neoboards making bad ref sheets in mspaint for her sparklecat mary sue warriorsona out of those blank character bases and posting them on deviantart. she had kind of a reputation for powergaming and being a bad sport and spam-reporting other kids when RPs didn't go her way so she made asriel join neopets to play with her and be her "mate" but then would get frustrated with him for not knowing the Warriors Lore and getting windclan and skyclan mixed up or trying to name his cat rainbowstar because he thought it sounded nice even though the "star" title is for CLAN LEADERS ONLY and HER CHARACTER FURYSTAR is ALREADY THE LEADER OF SHADOWCLAN!!!

[deltaruminations]

a funny not-too-not-important thing i've had in the back of my head for a while is that tasque manager is kind of a roaring knight resonance

design-wise: diamond head with two ears/antlers and short hair out the back, smile position and shape, lanky build with snatched waist, pauldrons forming triangular upper body silhouette, similar raised knee pose

character traits: dominating enforcer of order, sexyperson. sings in the café. maybe notable that she hangs out in queen's gallery. maybe also notable that tasque manager has a shitload of cats and also, is a cat,

anyway i was thinking about this again today and it occurred to me that TM has a man type counterpart in swatch and i was like. oh. lmao is swatch gaster. because it kind of makes sense when you think about it. the MS paint thing resonates with goner shit. swatch's own design juxtaposes literal black-and-white with pops of color. he calls his black and white outfit the "monochrome look." "swatchlings" as in "hatchlings" as in eggs. mettaton in DR creates his dream body with swatch's help, like how a royal scientist builds him a body in UT. what IS gaster to us really but our elegant, well-spoken chippendales butler. on that note, maybe significant that tasque manager and swatch are both high status servants (see: "knight," "angel")

anyway x2 if tasque manager foreshadowed the general flavor of the knight's penumbra titanform design vibe, then. well. heh. you know ;) #BeefyGasterTheory #HereComesDaddy

sorry to keep reblogging this but i forgot about the funniest part

also worth noting this chapter we got pink as a knight parallel and flowery as a gaster parallel - the two sort of "older siblings" of the bunch. cute catgirl with a domineering side and an elegant, college-educated anime boy who is charming and kind and desperately trying to serve someone else.

and if we're talking other knight-gaster parallels, lanino and elnina end up having a pretty similar dynamic…. hotheaded girl and elegant guy duo. this definitely seems like a pattern.

also, in addition to being a deconstruction of small-town americana bullshit, it's potentially a deconstruction of how those saccharine love stories are usually written. i'm not actually going to go into detail on that right now though, because i just want to talk about my concept of how fucked gaster is for writing a d*ssr*el lmao.

because it's fucking funny, right, imagining this guy doing crazy meta recursive metonymy, becoming the hegemonic system and town religion, and then at least partly using his ambiguous god powers to write modern domestic au unproblematic conflictless fan fiction of a deer girl and a goat boy. pulling strings, making them (wedding bells) ring, etc, with the aim of getting a real messy motherfucker to be in a cute fluff dynamic. and yes, maybe she does feel genuine love resulting from that (where's the line between a genuine feeling and one engendered by circumstance? is it even possible to tell? does it matter?). but she also senses that something is very wrong. she is trapped in a gilded glass cage and wants to be let out. she needs to be challenged (but only in the ways she likes) and feel like she's achieving something on her own merits, and this whole relationship is kind of the antithesis of that. so, her only recourse is to, like, run as fast and far as she can into the dark and twisted woods on the edge of the quaint suburban town to see how far she can go before she hits a wall, and then turn right back around to dive into the lake and swim towards the song of the thing awaiting below. just bullshit like that.

basically, gaster is trying to complete DOCUMENT_COFFEESHOP_2_9_FINAL.docx, but one of the characters keeps pulling total jackass stunts with no input from him, and it is driving him up the fucking wall. he's like "THIS IS. A HAPPY END. DO YOU NOT. ACCEPT IT?" and then (if you subscribe to this or similar) the terrifying antlered wraith that is playing deltarune against him pings him telepathically to say "nah, this is a horrid prison. you knew that. you're doing this because of that. anyways, i'm loose again, lmao. coming to shove you in a locker rn. try to stop me." and he goes "YOU SADDEN ME. ☹︎. DO YOU SEE. WHAT YOU HAVE DONE? NOW I AM SAD. ☹︎☹︎☹︎." but it already blocked him again and doesn't hear. this will keep happening. he will never finish his fan fiction because one of the characters is doomed. he's owned. he's been owned

[deltaruminations]

dating game VN sequence with gaster where he cooks dinner for the player and asks them what they think of it and which parts they like or don't and why, etc., and eventually has kind of a breakdown when he has to admit to himself that the player can't actually taste it and they're just sort of playing along

[deltaruminations]

i do personally believe that the new shop dialogue was already intended to be there and toby just withheld it for a couple weeks because he wanted to see drawings of flowery grabbing asgore's ass etc before all discussion descended back into penumbra kibby madness forever

[deltaruminations]

yeah okay like i was saying a while back i think maybe gaster made a bunch of "cats" ultimately in pursuit of something else and discarded them catpetterz style but garbage data doesn't truly get destroyed in this system so they were just Around. now the roaring knight is rounding them up to be its little buddies. this might track with TRK being some amount of "experiment gone awry" itself who knows. imagining rory nite happy drooling with its arms full of grinning cats with human teeth D.. <3 aww awww

[deltaruminations]

sometimes i like to think that catpetterz is to FRIEND what squiddles is to hometuck horrorterrors

[mayrine]
