Thinking about how implied it is that Gaster created deltarune or atleast our connection to it. Thinking about how it's always Toby's account that he hijacks. Thinking about creator of prophecy vs creator of game. Thinking about how those have the same name. Thinking about the parallel's between Toby and Gaster. Thinking about how Toby INSISTED there is only one ending. Thinking about how the prophecy ending is set up as something to be defied within the story.
Toby created both the game and the prophecy. A writer that wrote a story and yet urges those that come after it to reinterpret and change it. Thinking about the 10th anniversary livestream. Thinking about how Toby is both Gerson and Gaster. Creating one script, a controlled variable, and yet challenging us to improvise. An experiment where we are the independent variable and our interpretation and performance of the script is the dependent.
And somewhere along the way the roles shift. We become the dependent variable, changed by the changes we created.
Like how the anniversary stream was both about the changes we make to the game and how those changes and our involvement with fandom change us. I mean, just look at all the echo flower messages. Alot of them are about how the game and it’s fandom impacted them and the trajectory of their lives.
Something to think about
