Puts lorehead hat on People are already running w the assumption that Oh Oldman is not actually Gerson but rather a Darkner based people's memories of Gerson. Which might be true... but I also think it's interesting how it's specifically his dust within the dark fountain, not just his photo or hammer. Like they go out of their way to make that clear, and that Gerson's dust is not buried, like is usually done with monsters. Is it a reach to assume that the way monster dust interacts with dark fountains is different than regular items? That the soul of monsters come to life again in darkness??
Another lorehead thought I had is The Knight definetly feels related to Dess, but I don't think Dess straight up Is The Knight in an easy straightforward way. Maybe the relationship between Roaring Knight and Dess is similar to the relationship between Asriel and Ralsei. Whatever that relationship is....
Third lorehead idea I had is I think prophecies are written in stone but I have a feeling like... whenever there's ambiguity, there's wiggle room. As long as something fits the prophecy, the prophecy can be satisfied. Like, "The Girl"? there's so many "Girls". The silhouette in the prophecy is so ambiguous too..(When Susie was on about how she's never been picked for anything, I kept thinking man, what if it's not her? Wouldn't that be sad?) and when you beat roaring knight in ch3 too and according to you kris gets knighted??? now there's two candidates that can fill the roll of the knight w a black blade in the prophecies, right?
anyway. takes off lorehat. this really deltas my rune
One: PEOPLE ARE DOING THAT??????????? I thought with the fact that we Literally find his goddamn dust in like Alvin's desk or whatever that it was VERY clear dark world Gerson IS basically just him. Or. his dust. Whatever. I think you Could be onto something though that dust doesn't interact like a normal object in the dark worlds... Especially considering the association with Dark worlds to dreams, and your imagination running wild to see things that aren't really there..... like.... Maybe?????
Two: I DO AGREE WITH THAT. LIKE I SAID DESS KNIGHT IS MY FAVORITE CANDIDATE AND THE MOST LOGICAL CANDIDATE IMO—BUT THERE'S STILL SO MUCH THAT DOESN'T LINE UP. That's a really interesting thought actually that it's similar to the confusing and vague relationship between Ralsei and Asriel?? I HAVEN'T EVER SEEN THAT BROUGHT UP BEFORE.... And i don't know if i have any particular thoughts about that at the moment.....? BUT I *WILL* BE PONDERING IT.
Something something....... Maybe Dess is the person in the unused code, trapped in some strange deep darkness, but either a part of her, or other people's perceptions of her, or, Whatever the fuck Ralsei is, also somehow came into existence and that's what the Knight is? Or this is total bullshit. Roaring Knight more like SNORING KNIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Three: ......I DID NOT REALIZE THE. KNIGHT WITH A BLACK BLADE. PROPHECY THING AND. .....HOW THIS CAN ALSO BE KRIS. ERM.....
OKAY ALL THE STUFF WITH THE PROPHECY AND WHO REALLY FITS IT DOES CONFUSE ME A LOT THOUGH. I can so understand where you're coming from, but I'm not totally sold on Susie not actually being "the girl" in the prophecy myself, because like Yeah no the silhouette does NOT look like her at all 😭😭 But if she's not it, Why does Ralsei instinctually know her name and call her a "Delta Warrior" at the beginning of chapter 1?
.....Also the fact that Susie who's never been picked for anything and has so much hope and is already being lied to by her 2 closest friends turning out to not even be in the prophecy would make me too sad. How can we do this to Susie deltarune
