I was named temmieinacar but I changed it to something else. Professional Deltarune crack theorizer. I like Undertale, Deltarune, and Hollow Knight. I hope you enjoy. BTW if I post a theory someone already thought about it's an accident I would never, great minds think alike yknow
The balance of light and dark in Deltarune, and where Dess is.
Chapter 5 spoilers (its probably fine to post it no spoilers by now I'm just making sure)
So, in deltarune we have the light world and dark world right? For explanation purposes, the dark world has a light value of -1 and the light world has a value of 1. Based off of this, total darkness in the light world (like if you sat in a completely dark room) would be 0. This is the balance of light and dark. When you are in the light world, you see things as they are, because there is light so you can see. But as it gets darker, things get harder to make out, a chair suddenly resembles something scary, and doesnt look like a chair that much anymore.
As we go darker than dark, we get the dark world, where no light reaches and your mind starts to fill in the blanks, turning objects into living beings. This was all explained by Ralsei in chapter 3. But what if we could go lighter than light? That is the world we live in. An existence higher than the world of Deltarune. As Spamton called it, [HEAVEN]. If the light world is 1, our world is 2. This has already been covered by someone else. But that doesn't add up. If there were two worlds of light, then the singular dark world wouldn't balance it out. One could say that just means the knight is trying to keep the balance instead of ruin it. But I have a more interesting idea
We need to go dark, darker, yet darker. (Pun intended) A world where not even your brain can make out anything, and so everything goes dark. This is the -2 in the equation. This is where I believe Dess could be stuck. Gone in the deepest depths of the old dark world Asgore talked about, she ended up in The Void. Or as we see it, The code of the game. Hidden in the code we see unused dialogue, presumably from Dess, about being stuck in a dark void, which backs up this theory.
This is also presumably where gaster resides. In entry 17, he says "Dark, darker, yet darker" so he may have been knowingly (or unknowingly) experimenting with dark worlds, and accidentally sent himself even further, beyond the dark world, when he fell into his own creation.
This void, the core of the game is probably also where our vessel is. So maybe in a part of a future chapter, when Kris joins the evil gang to start the roaring, Gaster puts us in our old vessel and we escape the void together with Dess? (Honestly that would be a sick idea for a chapter 7 opening)
It was honestly such a good call from Toby to delay chapter 5 and only release chapter 3+4 together.
First of all if Toby hadn't done that, we would either have gotten chapter 3+4+5 a couple weeks ago, which would SUCK because trying to play 3 chapters spoiler free sounds really hard. 3 chapters at once is also too much to unpack. I mean we would have gotten the knight reveal, titan fight, Noelle's House weird route, festival, LAKE SCENE, and the lovable characters in every chapter to name a few. We (yes we) would also have gone clinically insane due to the time it would take.
Alternatively we could have gotten them earlier but that would have led to the chapters feeling rushed in one way or another. Perhaps we wouldnt get the fight against the Mike's. There probably wouldn't be as many secrets and easter eggs. Generally things might just not have played as good. Lacking sprites, bugs perhaps, none of those cool ass dialogue portraits in chapter 5, and probably more.
But tricky tony was so smart and tricky, so he delayed chapter 5 by like a year so he could perfect chapter 3 and 4. Deltarune probably would t have been as good if he didn't do that.
So it's implied Ralsei and flowery have similar abilities. Especially at one point in chapter 5 where Ralsei says "You can't just set all your stats to the max!" And flowery responds "Oh cause you are the expert on that rally" or something like that. That could just be because Ralsei knows a lot about the mechanics and stuff, so obviously he is the expert on that.
But maybe, while Ralsei was waiting for the heroes to show up, he started messing around. Trying out different personas to meet the heroes of legend. So Ralsei could very well have set all his stats to max. But if he shares that ability with flowery, that could very well mean that he can use all of flowery's other game breaking abilities and also: FLYING.
This isn't a flowery specific ability either, the other flowers do the exact same (except for Seth because they want to be a human and they have done research to know that humans can't fly.)
Would also tie into the theory that Ralsei is a plant.
But like imagine we head to castle town and Ralsei is just posted up like this:
How awesome would that be bro.
Unfortunately Ralsei Is holding back for some reason.
Like Raly where was fireshock during the battle against the WORLD ENDING TITAN
So during the first light world section of chapter 5, we hear that Rudy "fell down"
Now this could very well just be that he fell down while trying to put up the lights, which in his fragile condition that would be pretty bad. But the darker meaning of "falling down" we have heard is in Undertale, basically meaning you die.
Now I don't think he died, but him I saw a post about this being the set up for a Gerson type of situation. Now this would be really sad, but especially so if Noelle is in the dark world with Rudy.
Now what if Noelle doesn't want her father gone. They go to seal the fountain, but Noelle just can't let go. She just really doesn't want us to indirectly kill rudy. What if, she gets so outraged about having to say goodbye to her father, that she starts fighting us to save Rudy. Causing Noelle to be the final boss of chapter 6.
