KERDLY CANON???
'GAMERS DON'T DIE THEY RESPAWN' / 'BERDLY THE DEFROSTED' CANON???
no one ever talks about how erie and wrong the aborted weird route feels, like you simply do anything but using snowgrave on berdly and then suddenly it's almost entirely like nothing ever happened, the cheese is still not there, and the addisons are still gone, but all the frozen darkners have gone elsewhere, the cars have returned to the streets, you can get the egg, kris can eat the moss, everything moves on like it never happened, spamton seems to have somehow completely forgotten everything that happened... but that feels wrong, we talked to spamton we bought the thorn ring, he said how many were left, but now he doesn't recognise kris anymore, he doesn't remember anything.
i fear for what could lie ahead in future chapters on an aborted weird route, it feels like the game will just fall apart, or you'll get softlocked somewhere with no way to progress. the weird route feels complete, it feels like part of the universe, everyone acts and everything happens in ways that make sense given everything that happens, but if you just abort it then it all breaks, spamton doesn't remember what happened, he doesn't remember selling you the thorn ring, it just feels completely wrong, like you're truly breaking the game, not breaking the progression of the in universe story, breaking the game. i just can't reconcile spamton not remembering any of the weird route shenanigans as soon as go leave it, it's not like it's awhile between him giving you the thorn ring and then him talking to you in a regular route context, you get the thorn ring, don't snowgrave berdly, and then he's just there, same as the regular route, like nothing ever happened.
pony.town is fun
can't believe toby killed my tea, does he hate us? is there a lore reason? but actually, is there a lore reason, is this because of all the time that passed between the release of the chapters, and is evidence that that is causing the in universe time to be fucky, outside of jokes, because the off handed lines from sans and susie in chapter 2 could very much be written off as meta jokes, but this could be proof that there's more to it.
edit: i am very aware of the scope and balancing reasons that toby might have done this for, but those don't require the tea to rot, lancer could've just drank it all or something, like he did to multiple items toby didn't want us having in chapter 2, this is a specific choice toby made, he's not had an item rot before, he's used other ways of getting rid of items he doesn't want you to have,
