"DELTARUNE: Life Advice" or "mY AWES;OME DELTARUNE THEERY*" is this website's eponymous essay, originally drafted in June 2025. It is long, dense, and dubiously organized (at least in the last 1/3), but I still stand by its core tenets. In particular, I am a firm believer in the message DELTARUNE is building toward. And the Knight's identity. Coughs

My primary goal writing this was to understand what Toby Fox wants to say. UNDERTALE had defined messages, so what are DELTARUNE's? I believe to this day that, rather than being intentionally opaque, DELTARUNE's thematic makeup has been consistent and clear since at least Chapter 2. Things like the secret bosses, the Knight, or Darkness aren't meant to be hopelessly enigmatic; they've always had a purpose.

If you're familiar with THE DEVICE THEORY by mollystars or similar pre-Chapter 2 works, you can expect iterations on those ideas in light of Chapters 3 and 4.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• The mindset and desire the Weird Route speaks to / critiques.
• The role of the Shadow Crystals.
• Why W.D. Gaster is still at the heart of the game. Wait Where are you going come b
• Thorough-ish analysis of Carol Holiday. For a more recent dissection, click here.
• Thorough analysis of December Holiday and "Raise Up Your Bat".
• My answer to the question: What does Toby Fox mean when he says "don't forget"?

If you have questions or would otherwise like to discuss the document, feel free to send an email or something. I'll try to respond as soon as I can. (probably pretty quick since I do jack shit with my time)

I've been working on this for several months, and thus will only update the document if something truly groundbreaking or showstopping comes up. The rest, as they say, is up to you.

It's not really all that special, but maybe you'll find something worthwhile.
