With Noelle's calendar, given that all other items are meant to be from the search results of the rooms' owners-- It's likely that Noelle's been obsessively searching up **December Holiday** in an attempt to find information about her missing (or otherwise declared deceased) sister.

[@LittleMisZorua]

@Solibrae Yeh, I’ve a theory regarding Dess and the bunker myself. I had a thought that maybe whatever was in there left Dess trapped or something, that she sacrificed herself so Noelle and Kris could escape. Feel like that could explain why Noelle has such a strong desire to ‘get stronger’ in the Snowgrave route and tie into the fact Kris has been inside the bunker before.

There's a cool little theory which I think is a fairly good explanation for Dess. You know how everything in Queen's mansion rooms is personalised and from people's search results? The calendar with only 25th of December might come from a search "December Holiday". Since there is no gravestone for her in Hometown, it's very likely Dess is missing rather than deceased, and it would make a LOT of sense for Noelle to search for information regarding her lost sister on the internet.

There’s one Easter egg you missed. When you enter the hospital, there’s a toy on your left.

[@jarrav8186]

Two things about Toriel that are not really Easter Eggs but still funny or interesting to know: Firstly, as you said in the last video, if you leave Toriels house after giving her Asgores flowers, the "flowery scent of the trashcan has increased" after you come back in. However, this is also the case if you give her the flowers, dont leave the house, go to sleep and load your chapter 2 with that save. When you come downstairs after Toriel wakes you up, itll have that line on the trashcan as well. Secondly, this might have been pretty obvious to a lot of people, but when Susie goes to sleep over at Kris' house, Toriel tells her she can sleep on the couch and says "its been used to having people sleep on it", very casually implying to basically a stranger the fact that Asgore had to sleep on the couch before he moved out 😬 I feel so bad for him lmao

[@marseillejoh]

Yeah in Deltarune she basically hates him for no reason. I hate this version of Toriel.

[@jarrav8186]

@@marseillejoh i mean... they divorced and Asgore is constantly sending her flowers. I feel bad for Asgore but of course Toriel is getting annoyed with him constantly trying to make up lmao Plus, Asgore might possibly have divorced bc of something serious, maybe with Dess, and that could also be why he was kicked off the force. We dont really know

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

​@@jarrav8186 Toriel as a character seems to have always disliked Asgore looking for any moment to ditch him and blame it on something else... be it Toriel abandoning her people and not standing up to an emotionally broken Asgore abandoning her role and ensuring many would die... or whatever happened with Dess. Her annoyance at his behavior seems to suggest... she never really liked him in the first place.

One quick thing I see most people missing, the banana isn’t just a random joke, it’s subverting your expectations of a racing section in a video game: Usually in these type of games, such as Mario kart, hitting cars would be negative, and hitting bananas would slow you down. But in deltarune, the queen actively encourages these things and the banana gives you POTASSIUM. Keep up the great work Left Thumbs!

I've never liked how she treats Asgore in any game tbh. I like her even less in this one.

@@softsounds8453 In Undertale, Asgore was a child murderer, so even if I didn't like his treatment I could understand why she acted coldy towards him. Here however, I don't know what he did but I seriously doubt it's enough to justify how horrible she's been every time she even thinks about him.

[@softsounds8453]

@@coranbaker6401 Asgore did some bad shit for the sake of his people yeah, but at least he didn't abandon them in their time of need. She just left instead of trying to help Asgore, who was also greiving the death of their two kids, come up with a middle ground that would still give the Underground hope without being so murderous. And then she snubs up her nose at what he's done in the end when she could've been there to stop it. She's no better than him in my eyes. Maybe even worse. I have a feeling what Asgore did has something to do with why he was fired from the police force and the strained relations between the Dreemurrs and the Holidays. Maybe it had something to do with Dess?

[@coranbaker6401]

@@softsounds8453 True. Though Asgore was extremely wish-washy too. He wanted his people to stay hopeful, but he didn't want to kill humans if he didn't have to, so he avoided doing so unless he had no excuse. Toriel is correct when she points out that Asgore could have freed the monsters years ago if she wanted.

[@pancakes8670]

It's interesting because we no longer have the context for why she doesn't like him. Maybe we'll get it in Chapter 3, considering Toriel might be stuck in the Dark Fountain with Kris and Susie, but this time it really is weird seeing them split up despite not having the same context as in Undertale What could have caused her to do a 180 on Asgore like this?

[@lizwilliams7160]

Whenever the "man" gives you an egg, I believe the game is talking about everyman. Everyman is supposed to represent a bird embryo, and birds lay eggs, and it just doesn't make sense for gaster to give Kris an egg.

[@FernandoRafaelNogueiraReis]

The more I read about this Everyman and learn how it was around since the Amalgamates makes me think how they are some form of Gaster. He was, after all, shattered across time and space. What if he became just like anyone else, an everyman?

[@sayonarrioneiriar]

There is a theory that if egg is written in capitals and translated to windings, it will be 3 hand gestures which show how knight moves in chess. But I really like theories of yours! They are connecting Reaper Bird and Gaster, and eggs, and Everyman!

I wonder WHO made that Everyman graffiti on the wall in Hometown? And how does Jevil know about him? Also, is this Everyman character on the internet as some kind of omnipresent force? Remember that in Queen's attack with people saying things, Everyman just scrolls down with nothing to say.

[@sayonarrioneiriar]

@@CaptainCoolzCT- maybe Everyman could represent kind of puppet (like on the Internet, the puppet account!). I brought this up because all of Deltarune relies on puppet metaphors like Kris is a Puppet, Spamton is one, and maybe these puppets are representation of how players control them (Reaper Bird attack - Everyman get butterflies all over its head).

The old eletronics closet in the library is actually the mansion's basement, where you get the old machine for Spamtom. Makes sense because Kris tends to go alone there, since only a single person can fit inside. Because it's filled with old electronics, there's probably a hard drive of an old computer lying around with the old machine file inside it. My theory is that Happstablook used to go to the library and either doodled their dream NEO body in a drawing app or used to keep their diaries on a file. Then probably the computer became obsolete and replaced by a new one.

The "Barrels falling from the ceiling, we have to smash them with karate chops" thing Swatch mentions could also be a reference to Street Fighter 2, which has that happen in a Bonus Stage.

[@cactusalucano4013]

All the baseball references could be about Dess. As Noelle says: "Dess smacked you with a wiffle bat." meaning that her sister might have been a baseball fan. Maybe just as the Queen reflects her mother, the world reflects her sister. Also, if Dess would be death they most probably would not talk to her as easily. She is probably lost since lost is a current topic with Noelle and "December Holiday" must be the search that gets to the 25th of December, meaning that she searches for her sister online a lot.

[@midlemannn3095]

It could also be a reference to the Peanuts ‘Baseball Fever’ episode.

[@Kango234]

I'm really shocked no one else has brought up how Queen is most likely created by Noelle or affected by her in some way. She's an over protective mother figure and the climax of the story is Noelle standing up to her. You later learn that Noelle's mom is also very strict so I don't think that is a coincidence.

Btw, it could be that Dess/"December", being an older sibling, broke with the rest of her family on Christmas Day due to some argument or disagreement, and kinda vanished into the ether as a result. Maybe something to do with how some folks portray Noelle's mom (the mayor?) as super strict and stuff, which might prove to be a seed for such a bout of strife between family members. Also, with Noelle's older sister absent, and how close Noelle and Kris used to be, it could also be a source of anxiety for Kris given _their_ older brother, Asriel, has been gone for so long...

Also when talking to sweet, cap’n and k_k they say that they got a job off a small, weird that wanted them to break into the mansion and this would probably be Spamton.

[@pnuemicking7347]

22:00 I noticed that in chapter 1, the blue and yellow guy was blocking the upstairs. Now, in chapter 2, he’s blocking all but the first two books. I think that with each subsequent chapter, he’ll move a little further to the left and we’ll be able to read more about human souls. Keep in mind, too, that prior to Deltarune, he only existed as a Gaster follower, so he has significance for sure.

[@elidoz9522]

I found another easter egg: in undertale, in the tem village there is a tem watching an egg, saying it's a proud parent the tem also says the egg will hatch one day, and if you interact with the egg it will say it's an hard-boiled egg in the prison room where queen put susie, you can see susie had a search query about hard-boiled eggs being able to hatch

[@1Alchemist]

yes! and to build up on that, in chapter 1 when you're sent off to go with susie, you can still talk to all the classmates and they'll all have different things to say about susie tem says that she's very mean and told her the egg would never hatch so this implies that tem told susie the egg will hatch one day, and susie was like HM... and went to the library and looked it up and THEN made fun of tem JKDFKLDS

About that baseball/soccer ball thing, Jockington in in chapter 1 apparently printed off a million pictures of a soccer ball and threw them in the trash in the computer room (the ones that says spam emails were printed off) and I guess that means he printed off just soccer balls but painted them to look like other sport balls?? Also spamton's room is the room that later becomes jockington's room, Also also in the files of the games there are 7 face cards for Jockington that all look exactly the same.

Two small Easter eggs: -In the final mech boss fight, doing a full crit punch (timing the hit on the line) will do 255 damage.

Going over 255 would cause an integer overflow and revert back to 0 -In Chapter 1, looking into the computer room it details that the dog is working and when he's done you can go in, but it quite literally meant you will go into the computer room for chapter 2

Thanks ^-^ It's been a while, but I thought of something that goes along with this theory. But what if the characters became bosses because of how close they were to the fountain's creation point? Basically the closer to that point a character is the more power gained from it. It would also explain why Ralsei can travel to different dark worlds, due to being born from the what we know as the first fountain.

Edit: oh yeah, as far as I know, you haven't mentioned the only knockable door in the city, right? I figured that one out immediately because of the hint in the moss room. It says "the room between" and that doesn't only allude to the egg room but to the door between other doors. It's situated in the alley towards the moss room. Edit 2: is it possible that the flowers Asgore is keeping from withering away are actually the flowers Toriel had in her bouquet on their wedding day? If you call a bird's wing an arm, you're correct. You're correct either way because the front limbs of all vertebrates are anatomically arms. The exact same arm anatomy we have exists in horses, dogs, birds, bats, dolphins, seals, frogs, etc. Even ray-finned fishes have the basal bones of our arms, that's also why ray-finned fishes and lobe-finned fishes all have two pectoral fins (arms) and two pelvic fins (legs). A bird's wing is just an arm evolved for flight, a horse's front limb is an arm evolved for walking, a dolphin's flipper is an arm evolved for maneuvering through water. Now, Birdley isn't a bird taxonomically. He might be a monster who looks like a bird, but he still cladistically ISN'T a bird because a bird is an animal who belongs to the class Aves, while he is not that. For example, a human is an ape, a bird is a dinosaur, a dinosaur is a reptile but is not a lizard, a Dimetrodon is neither a reptile or a mammal but a protomammal. A hexapod dragon (4 arms, 2 legs) would not be a lizard or a reptile at all due to the fact that a dragon has 6 limbs, something completely unseen in vertebrates. A dragon would have to exist on a sister phylum to all other vertebrates which would require an entirely separate evolutionary tree. Yes, I am specialised in this sort of stuff HAHAHA.

[@spinningredchair8092]

I just love the subtleties of the Snowgrave route. Noelle becoming more confident and her animation changing when she enters a fight, her character sprite moving as she contemplates stepping off the button to kill Kris, enemies running away from you as you coerce Noelle kill more and more, and above all the fact that you as the player never kill anyone directly, meaning technically for you the game still sees you as the good guy, something that never happens in the Genocide Route

I think his car by the flower store is rusty and barely used, right? Maybe Toriel divorced and keeps away from him because of it? Idk, really dark theory. But maybe? :0

[@furrykittens9312]

Yeah I've seen this theory before. The one thing that doesn't line up is that nobody outright says Dess has died, and the possibility that the calendar in Noelle's room may indicate she's searching for news of December Holiday, which might make us think she's just gone missing. However, some evidence in favor is that Noelle looks afraid when crossing the streets with Kris. Now I know being a fraidy-cat (fraidy-deer?) is part of her character, but that's a very specific interaction that would make sense if she lost her sister in a car accident. Of course, it could just be that she's a deer and traffic is just like their natural enemy. We also know that Asgore was kicked off the police force, and Kris seemingly doesn't want to read the article in the police station about it, which makes me think the memory is painful for them. It might just be that dad losing his job isn't a good memory, but it would make more sense if it was something traumatic as your friend's sister being run over on accident.

[@aaajeear8654]

how about maybe something a bit less dark? it seems like Dess is missing rather than dead, what could've happened is that Asgore, being the police chief, was tasked with finding Dess when she went missing, but he certainly wasn't able to and gave up the search (maybe Dess fell into the Dark World or was dragged by whatever the heck is behind that massive door in the south part of the town) , that could've made Toriel get so frustated she divorced Asgore, probably because of something like "if one of your own children went missing, would you also give up searching for them?", and also, Noelle's mother is the mayor, being a small town's police chief tasked with finding the mayor's kid and failing to do so would sure as hell make you lose your job.
