In the end not a single one of these theories comes true and the game is just straight-up twenty hours of JRPG save-the-world storyline stuffed with good fun characters and Toby Fox dialogue and music and my youtube recommendations are no longer cursed with gamer clickbait

When the game's done, they'll just find another theory.

They have to. Because they have to justify their wages.

even if the full game comes out and is a completely unrelated monster dating sim with no ties to chapter 1 or Undertale we'll still see loving Chara and Gaster clickbait videos for the next 4 years

This is why I'm hoping the Gaster = Rouxls Kaard theories/jokes are true because it helps deflate a lot of the excess mystique around Gaster if it turns out, yeah, he's as much of a moron as everyone else in this game.

My favorite theory thing is a small little post that pointed out Monster Kid and Goner Kid have their head spikes and little eye bruise on opposite sides and Monster Teen has his on the Goner Kid side, not the Monster Kid side.

What does it mean? WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?

God it's going to be really funny to me if he manages to never get a name through a whole another game. Especially because he seems to be the only other kid besides Noel with a preestablished friendship with Kris.

Poor Asgore. His job sucks, his wife hates him, all his friends are dead or dying, one of his kids fled town rather than hang out with him any more, the other one has to be dragged against their will by a nebulous possessive force to just go check in on him for five minutes and he sleeps on a cardboard box. Life sucks for Goat Dad.

His job doesn't suck(he genuinely seems to like gardening and raising flowers), he just gives away too much product instead of selling it. Although I'm not sure there'd be enough of a market for flowers in that small of a town to save him anyway.

Poor Goat Dad.

Look, if he would just start selling flowers instead of giving them away things would turn around for him.

Also, at least Kris's teacher thinks he's hot, so it's not all doom and gloom.

problem is you go in to get flowers for your mom's grave or to bring to your hospitalized dad and he just starts bawling and tells you they're on the house before giving you a big hug

Cultures thrive on their myths and legends...and snuggles!
Asgore's only character trait from Undertale was "too nice to do his job properly" so being a shop owner who's failing because he just gives his product away seems like a perfect fit.

I thought that was the way to get through the encounter and then went “Oh god no” when the projectiles veered away from me...but drat was I happy when it didn’t end with Lancer getting killed.

That's not true, because the point of them is that they aren't you. They're their own characters. The games make a pretty big deal of that, so they pretty much are NB.

right, they're not you, and it doesn't matter. "undefined" is not the same thing as a specific gender identity outside the binary. "undefined" means "whatever the hell you want it to be, it's your call, go hog wild because it is Not Relevant."

with Kris it might actually be relevant! we don't know! because Deltarune is not finished yet! unlike Undertale!

I don't think it really means anything. The characters in Deltarune are almost all based on Undertale's, and share the same characteristics in looks and personality, but are slightly different nonetheless. Mettaton doesn't have a body, Undyne has both her eyes, Monster Teen's bruise is on the other side of their face.

Honestly I'm not very fond of the implication that Asgore's a grown man who can't even do basic adulthood tasks without a wife or the status of being royalty helping him do it. He was all sorts of messed up in Undertale as well, but he at least took care of himself and his home on a basic level. That's one of the things I'm not looking forward to with this game, the commentary it makes/will make on the characters in Undertale, be it "Asgore's just inherently kind of a manchild" or "Sans is a Darkner" or whatnot.

pretty much everything involving Chara was by far my least favorite part of Undertale and the discourse thereof, so :same:
It got obnoxious real fast how quickly Chara fans would attribute jokes or personality traits to a character who's not even there.
