I genuinely just. Love how hard and how much and how always Toby Fox says "hey remember that I want you to create something. I want you to create something so bad. Everyone please play my game and then keep making it more than it ever was yourself as much as you can. there's always more."
Genuinely so heartwarming. I hope more than anything people remember to make things. To explore and not get so fussed over what's "real" and "not," I gotta remember this too. Everything has a place and can be there because the whole world is out there...
There's a time and a place for "being accurate" vs "creating something new" to me. To some degree, it's important for people who are there and who exist to be as they are (pronouns are as they should be, personality traits are in line as much as you can, etc), but not to the exclusion of all else (people know other people we never see, interact in ways we never see, and we should be able to fill in the gaps. any gaps)
it's about making something together I think. Playing with toys together. and I love that a lot. It's always been the most important part of Undertale to me...
also toby fox says aus pog
buncha Neon J sketches I did while trying to draw that ref I made as well, this guy's just a pose machine. How are you supposed to do anything besides have infinite fun!!
Posting A ref of Neon J as I like to draw him. So mostly canon except I make his sleeves real big so there's slightly more flowy action :)
What if I fucking exploded.
One day I'm going to have the most public and violent crash out this world has ever seen over people who call themselves theorists and analysts and still earnestly (or at least publicly) believe that the mysteryman sprite is not Gaster or that goners (like goner kid) have no relation to Gaster or even those that say we can't be certain he's a skeleton.
Fuck it that day IS TODAY.
"He's not a skeleton"
I am going to bite my own fingers off so as not to be as condescending as my most angry inner self desires but. The only two other characters in this entire game with font names are skeletons. Those two characters are inspired by the comic "Helvetica" which is ABOUT A SKELETON. NAMED HELVETICA.
You're right, Gaster happens to speak wingdings but is Not named Wingdings Gaster, since nobody actually fucking calls him wingdings, unlike the other two font-named font-speakers, his real name is William Derek Gaster and he's a 60 lb wheel of parmesan cheese wearing a lab coat. Of course, it is so simple, how were we so blind before.
"He's not linked to Goners"
People say this because for some reason they want Gaster to not have been erased/forgotten, as Goner Kid implies in their dialog but like. Let's think about this logically, starting from UT only evidence and then building into DR evidence for why THIS IS FALSE.
Literally why the fuck would the only grey fun event character that existed on launch that's not explicitly labeled a "Gaster Follower" not be Gaster related at all? "But why is the sprite labeled differently! They must not be related!" bro if you walked into my fucking house and my clothes didn't all have my name on them despite the fact that I am the only motherfucker who lives here WOULD YOU ASSUME THEY BELONG TO SOMEONE ELSE?
UT Pre-DR release update: Goner Clam
Deltarune is super Gaster related and if you argue against this then I will put a plague upon your home. Gaster announced the release, the Deltarune Website in 2016 had a black image with barely visible WINGDINGS that said "THREE HEROES APPEARED AT WORLD'S EDGE", the opening, WE WILL GET TO THE OPENING. But, Clamgirl, the only fun event that previously was not even tangentially related to Gaster and seemed relatively normal, was updated (in the Switch release I believe) to tell us that "The time you will meet [Suzy]." (turns into a goner in front of our very eyes) "Is fast approaching" which foreshadowed the release of the very first DR demo, the "SURVEY_PROGRAM"
Deltarune opening sequence: IT'S LITERALLY NARRATED BY HIM AND EVERYTHING IS LABELED "GONER MAKER"
Arguing that Goners are completely unrelated to Gaster at this point does not seem enlightened, it does not even seem reasonable, it makes you sound like a fucking contrarian who doesn't actually care about evidence, you just want to throw out a hot take that goes against "fanon" (which, like, you all fucking know I HATE fanon, but COME ON, EVEN A BROKEN CLOCK, MAN)
People seem to only want this connection to not exist because they don't want him to be forgotten when:
Gaster is literally a functional piece of meta-commentary on cut content, he IS FUNCTIONALLY FORGOTTEN IN EVERY WAY THAT MATTERS
Literally what fucking contradicts this
"MysteryMan isn't Gaster! It's not even labeled Gaster!"
Get a load of this sterling, brilliant observation. You're right. The mysteryman sprite is not labeled Gaster. BECAUSE THAT'S THE FUCKING MYSTERY!!!!!! Literally are there any other men who are mysteries and associated with sixes since that's the fun event number the sprite shows up at IN THIS WHOLE GOD-FORSAKEN GAME? Additionally:
Gaster is important in Deltarune
There are continued references to the appearance of the MysteryMan sprite in DR such as:
The poem hidden in the code of the first chapter
Is that a cut on your face or part of your eye? The gash weaves down as if you cry The pain itself is reason why*
(*this part is the corrupted Latin Lorem Ipsum when roughly translated, the only other place lorem ipsum appears in these games, IIRC, is the MemoryHead amalgamate fight, the amalgamates that we never learn the origin of and that look like melted, fused together Gaster Blasters)
Knight has holes in their hands LIKE HOW BASICALLY EVERYONE INTERPRETED THE MYSTERYMAN SPRITE
So hey if the mysteryman sprite is not Gaster, but Gaster is important to DR in some way, then what does it mean that the mysteryman sprite seems to be too
What if I fucking exploded. What if I lost my fucking mind.
If your only defense to any of this is "It's not spoon fed to me via sprite file names that any of this is true" THEN YOU ARE NOT ANALYZING OR THEORIZING, YOU ARE TURNING YOUR BRAIN OFF WHEN THE NAME GASTER IS UTTERED
WERE YOU EXPECTING TOBY FOX TO PRESENT THE MYSTERY OF GASTER TO US ONLY FOR HIM TO NAME THE MYSTERYMAN SPRITE "WingDings Gaster The Skeleton Who Was Forgotten" LIKE BE FOR REAL
hey! im yacub, a utau creator on tiktok (username: @yyy.cb) what i tend to post are canon information on sans aus. i honestly cant get fresh right since most of cq's stuff can be outdated or conflicting (ex: one post said hes capable of feeling romance just doesnt understand it, a more recent one says he cant feel at all). i was hoping you could make a post and ALL the stuff yk abt fresh or just correcting common misconceptions! (if u can ofc, i will 100% give credits) ty <33
Hey!! Nice to see someone take an interest in Fresh- I don't use tiktok, but I don't mind helping to spread some correct information about the Freshman himself to anyone who'd like to see it!
The first post I'll link is actually a Reblog addition I made to someone else's post; here! This post has an EXTREMELY thorough, well crafted video that tells you just about everything there is to know on Fresh at a baseline and getting into more specific niche details, AND shows a lot of the relevant posts on-screen while talking about different factors!! I added on additional information in my reblog of it, but frankly I'd say the video alone is a lot! (It is a long watch though so be prepared to strap in!)
The second post I'll link is actually the first post I made about Fresh, and while it has a lot of information in it and was made to clear up misconceptions, it's also... a bit aggressive in tone, so you super do not have to use it- it also additionally doesn't have sources linked and brings up other people's interpretations of Fresh which, while it's used as a way to illustrate a point, also kind of muddles things in some cases- BUT, it does have information, and I'm not one to be ashamed of my past! You can read that here!
Thirdly, this isn't quite what you asked for, but! I have multiple analysis posts on Fresh as seen in Underverse, through the lens of someone extremely familiar with his canon- so while what's happening in Underverse is not inherently canon to Fresh, this could be nice to see from an "Analysis and understanding of character" point of view! I'll link each part I wrote in order I wrote it; Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
Fourth thing is, it's worth noting CQ has been inconsistent with Fresh for quite a while. Even years ago, the information about Fresh has ALWAYS been inconsistent, given CQ did a lot of character development mid-rp or highly improv'd elsewise. So... In some ways, what's canon is kind of debatable- even MORE so when CQ often was inspired by the fandom!!! Ideas kind of got echoed around back on themselves within the fandom in that time, and that's worth taking into account! A variety of people have contributed to how Fresh is portrayed, both officially and unofficially!
And, finally- I might try and make a proper post here in a while!! I've been pretty deep in the deltarune sauce atm (As you can see in my most recent post or so) BUT I love Fresh so much :D :) I would love to make a more proper informational post with links and such to source asks, I'm pretty experienced at finding them on CQ's blog (I've gone digging around so much by now XD)
Some info, it's hard to directly source. Some is told to people directly whom CQ interacted with- I know Alainaprana talked with CQ a few times, I believe Feth had direct communication at one point as far as the general species that fresh is went, Neon--nightmare was at one point in an rp server alongside CQ and was able to get feedback occasionally on the writing done in that server for fresh... and who knows how much more! I have been lucky enough to meet CQ in person, and ask questions directly- I have some information I know that I CAN'T source, because it was gained from an interaction like that!
So, Fresh is a bit enigmatic and difficult to get perfect information on- my biggest recommendation to people who want to know how to write Fresh, is to look at whatever you can find! Try and find the information you can, look at some of the things people have made, and figure out what you'd like to do with writing him! A lot of people have contributed to his character, and it's worth trying to keep that in mind! (This is part of why I'm not a huge fan of that old post of mine, hahah, I try to be a little nicer nowadays)
...Though, I do appreciate people trying to stick to details that have been talked about directly, personally. I'd say the most important details to Fresh's character are, by far, his existence as a parasite (and what being a parasite means for how he approaches relationships and morality), his nature as a low or no emotion creature (and what having extremely limited emotions means for his... everything), and how much he's affected by the attention he gets from... us! From the audience!! (He didn't have an existential crisis for nothing, after all!)
I could talk about him for ages- and I HAVE, hahah! And will again <3 just talking about the little I have here has already made me excited to think about him again- let me know if this helped, or if you have any more specific questions to ask later!
Deltarune Chapter 3 Song analysis
That's right! Just singular song analysis. There's a lot of music in Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 that are MASSIVE, musically speaking, to the point where a keen eared listener could practically get spoiled just listening to it and especially knowing the titles. With that being said, my focus today is not on all those songs! Just one, singular song, with ties to something I feel like no one will care about, but can actually mean so much...
So! Chapter three spoilers only below! It's not huge spoilers, all things considered, but still looking to respect those who want to go in fully blind.
TVs that old have settings? I thought it was a metaphor for Kris only being allowed to watch the indecent music channel with Dess. There's a mention of Toriel not allowing Kris to watch it but allowing Dess to do so. Hence, the door with Toriel's face on it and the code being 1225, December Holiday.
I agree with the season thing. What do you think the Cold Place represents? I thought it was the fridge, now I don't know.
A TV is ultimately just a display system, occasionally having other functionality built in. I think in this case, the proof that it has a settings menu IS the parental lock itself- the fact that Kris inputs the code "Knowingly" implies to me that this is a very REAL code in the light world as well, one Kris already knows (likely from inputting it so many times to get around said light world parental lock) and thus doesn't need a puzzle to solve. The puzzle is really only for us to figure it out because we don't know- but why would the puzzle be there at all? Because the knowledge of how to get through is already in the dark world, and hey, who could have put that knowledge in... Also Kris, right? Given it IS their dark world?
Additionally, Dess DOES have a musical theme, I think if it was something directly tied to Dess it'd be more tied to that theme rather than a more general theme, ESPECIALLY one that has its roots in Undertale rather than Deltarune.
The Cold Place area is something I've thought about, but that I'm not fully sure about. It's possible it could be the vents of the tv though, right? a TV that old WOULD have some sort of cooling system, not seen on the front near the screen, and that place would be both cold and dusty (easily translatable to snowy as well) given I doubt it's cleaned often. Not to mention- There's a WHOLE christmas tree there! (Holiday tree I guess?) No one is putting Christmas trees in the fridge, or in the kitchen at all given how much space you need in there to cook-
...But in the flashback, we already know where the Dremurr family puts their tree, don't we? Right next to the TV- Beside it, where any vents would likely be. Of course Tenna (or the dark world itself) would similarly put a tree there, that's just where it belongs!
Deltarune Chapter 3 Song analysis

There's a lot of music in Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 that are MASSIVE, musically speaking, to the point where a keen eared listener could practically get spoiled just listening to it and especially knowing the titles.

Hey, not tagging this post w anything because it's just for my followers, but!
After a full week has passed since Deltarune Ch3/4's release, I'm gonna be making a post about one of the songs of the chapters! As is a Toby Fox Classic, SO MANY of the songs have leitmotifs of other songs, or the same baselines of other songs, and like yeah most are pretty obvious
...but there is one
One that kind of requires you to be a special kind of insane to hear it, and then know what it is, and then perhaps even make a post about it.....
......
I'll see y'all then!!! If you're wondering why I'm waiting a week, two reasons! Reason number one is so I can keep replaying the game and finding more information- Reason number two is so that more people will have the chance to have played the game, and the post I make will be far less likely to get lost in the shuffle of everything else! I'll still be tagging w spoiler tags as appropriate of course, but a week feels right for the kind of analysis this'll be
and maybe if fellas like it I can try and make a more general informational post about other leitmotifs? I'm not an expert at them, but I do tend to have pretty good pattern recognition and a ridiculous degree of familiarity with Undertale's soundtrack- and, a more reasonable amount of familiarity with deltarune's of course
Hello again tumblr! I have no idea what happened but yall suddenly liked my Ink video so please have a radical Fresh one!
HEY Y'ALL as someone dedicated to sharing about Fresh and in general being a big fan of him, take a look at this sicknasty video on the topic of the man(?) himself!!! If NOTHING else, this is a FANTASTIC overview of the history of Fresh that takes a LOT of genuine searching to find- I applaud how thoroughly this was researched and massively appreciate the effort put in!!
Honestly- there's details here that not even I've been able to dig up in my own very passionate research, which is CRAZY to me- I'm thrilled to bits to see it!!
There are a few things I didn't see mentioned in the video though- I realized halfway through typing this part that I absolutely must put this under a read more because, as is true of Every Time I've Talked About Fresh On This Blog, this is far too long to reblog raw. TL;DR I talk about one amendment, and two rps EDIT: LIKE 5+ RPS that didn't get mentioned whatsoever here (still from the BestFresh90sMess official Fresh Blog!)
A little background as to why the Markiplier fandom is panicking about The Edge of Sleep.
So YEARS ago. Mark was in a podcast called The Edge of Sleep, which was adapted into a TV series... Which was never released
Until
Mark made a movie adaptation of a video game, Iron Lung. He's put all his energy into this film, directing, producing, editing, even starring in it. the movie is done, and he's working to get it released in theaters.
We, the public don't know why, but we know that some doors have been locked on the release of Iron Lung, however some big wigs somewhere have promised that if his popularity alone can put Edge of Sleep in the TOP TEN a lot of doors will open for Iron Lung. He wasn't allowed to even say where it would premiere, nor was it advertised AT ALL
So now, Edge of Sleep has shadow dropped on Amazon Prime in the US. Three days BEFORE they even told Mark it would air. In order to get this man's work out in theaters this thing has to get to the top ten by word of mouth alone.
So. Watch Edge of Sleep! It's an apocalyptic horror. There are some mild gore warnings (blood, knife mutilation, brain dissection, self harm). Even if you can play it in the background and let it run just so it gets views thatd be helpful.
Stick it to the Hollywood Bigwigs! Show them YouTubers can have an audience! Open some doors for creative people trying to show their work to a bigger audience!
So who is ready to crash a streaming site through sheer numbers this october 18 watching The Edge of Sleep? WE ARE.
for those unaware:
Mark Fischbach, aka Markiplier, has been making progressively more ambitious projects for the last several years, including starring in a television show for the Qcode podcast The Edge of Sleep. The podcast is excellent; it's a sci fi apocalyptic medical drama about a mysterious disease causing people to fall asleep and never wake up. The TV show went into production around 2018 and fell into development hell.
It's finally being released, but with a pair of truly upsetting conditions:
- No one involved in the project is legally allowed to say where it will air before the day it debuts, and
- The company releasing the show is holding Mark's most recent project for ransom. His film, Iron Lung, which he's spent the past two years working on almost exclusively, will have a path out of development hell through this company -- but only if Edge of Sleep debuts on their platform in the top ten.
That means zero marketing outside of Mark revealing the air date, and the audience's prior knowledge of the podcast. The company is dangling Mark's future as a filmmaker above his head at a truly frustrating height, and he's asked his fanbase to get him there, because his hands are tied.
If you're not already following Markiplier's work, go check out A Heist with Markiplier, In Space with Markiplier, and the podcast of The Edge of Sleep. And on October 18, help this incredibly dedicated filmmaker convince a film studio that his work is worth investing in.
I will personally watch edge of sleep into the ground to get him his iron lung goal
And for those of you who don't know or care for markiplier- This is just an EXCEPTIONALLY scummy thing to do by this company. The fact that a creator of ANY kind is being disrespected and limited in their work like this, and shown such blatant disrespect, is appalling.
A very cynical part of me is sure this kind of outrage is, likely, exactly their intent. That they feel like they can get away with not giving any marketing or respect to Mark because of his position as an arguably very famous youtuber. And they would be right as well which is infuriating.
But on the other hand, if I can stop people like this from killing a production before it's even left the ground? I absolutely intend to. Me and everyone else on our way to crash the site it's hosted on with how many of us show up to see it when it drops. Someone so genuinely trying to get into film, and who's so clearly passionate about his work, deserves so, SO much better than he's being given.

An artfight attack I made for @ejsuperstar ! I don't plan to post all my attacks (Or even most), but a friend requested it and the image also has a reversed version I wanted easily visible, so here we go! :D
Happy Artfight!! I've gotten the card done with a teeny bit of time to spare, yahoo! Good luck t'everyone else!
Damnit Fresh Sans is growing on me (which is kinda ironic since he's a parasite I think??)
I still don't understand his angle in Underverse (the whole Ink vrs Fresh fight confuses me as does everything else in underverse god I do NOT have the brainpower to understand anything in this Multiverse bs) but he's kinda funny, kinda wacky, A little silly if you will
His design is fun too so yeah
maybe I'll draw him tomorrow, and maybe error too :b
(Don't hold me to that tho my art motivation and focus have been all over the place as of late)
I see in your tags that you'd love for someone to explain about fresh owo I have a variety of posts about him myself- ESPECIALLY explaining his actions in Underverse 0.7 Part One, since you mention it! It is a LOT to read through, but I'm always happy to talk about Fresh to anyone who'll listen
Sketch page where I figure out how to draw the man from Ghost Trick!!!
Yeah I may have gained a whole new cool guy to add to my favourite guys collection =v=' VERY cool game, I was thrilled to find out I enjoyed it so much given even before I had played the game, I'd been inspired by the MC's appearance with one of my own designs! If you like puzzle games and mysteries, and enjoy characters who are very funny, you'll probably love the game!
Rarely before have I ever heard an audio and immediately needed to make an animatic. In fact never before I'm pretty sure. Anyways, enjoy!
