okay so I've been spiraling about a Gaster theory and I need to know if I'm crazy. everyone always thinks he's just hiding somewhere waiting to be found, right? but what if that's totally wrong.
When he fell into his creation, he didn't just get erased or sent to another dimension. his entire existence just... shattered. like, not just his body, but him. every part of who he was broke into pieces across time and space. Why would the creation even be the CORE?? Maybe it’s the dark fountain he made? Like, kris and susie also FALL into the dark fountains and not just walk into them
Like, he's not in one place, he's just everywhere/everywhen but as scattered fragments. that's why the followers say they "hold a piece of him" - they literally ran into different shards of him. and the "rude to talk about the person who's listening" thing?? if you take it literally it's actually insane because pieces of him are literally just... around. always.(so well… he is eventually where we are looking)
the grey room isn't even where he "lives", it's just a spot where a fragment happens to show up, and it disappears when you interact with it because you're only seeing a tiny slice. and his Deltarune stuff makes way more sense if he's just not bound by normal space/time anymore.
idk, am I onto something here or is this a massive stretch??
