#A World of Water and Crystal

[quotablefanfiction]

They were still in the part of the novel where Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky still had delusions of a cohesive plot with occasional titillating sexy-times and had yet to let the novel devolve into an elaborate game of Waifu Pokemon.

Shen Yuan has his own categorization of story timeline (chp. 3)

I was thinking about the legend, specifically this bit which is meant to portray the “WORLDS’ edge” (thanks to the linked post that I previously reblogged by @abandoned-quiche), and looking at these images again, my brain asked:

What landscape are we actually looking at here?

Cause my first assumption (and I'm fairly sure I'm not the only one) was that it's a desert, but what if the sepia tone is disguising the true nature of what we’re seeing (like how it helps players to confuse Chara for Frisk in UT)? I mean, Hometown certainly doesn't seem to be near any deserts.

So what if those lumps aren’t sanddunes, but something else? Like snow?

Or… waves?

I mean, look at the weird ripple affect on the ground at the base of the fountain in the third image. Consider that the fountains are just that - fountains, geysers. Liquid.

And it kind of makes sense, right? For the border between worlds, one light and one dark, to be physically represented by a border between land and lake/sea? Especially considering the song from the sea, and, well, all of this?

Just trust me on this one, guys. I’ve called it.

#deltarune #water theory #image descriptions in alt text #did this while watching a ut lets play #in which i noticed that the color of the crystals in the wall of gerson’s shop (and other spots in waterfall) #are the color of frisk’s shirt and kris’s dark world outfit #that observation is entirely irrelevant to this post but i felt like mentioning it anyway

THE EIGHTH SENSE EP 3

Honestly, I was a little afraid because the first two episodes blew me away so much that it felt almost ridiculous. I so wanted this to continue, and when I anticipate something to this extent the dread of it maybe falling flat, of it refuting me and my anticipation is sky high. My pulse legit rose before clicking on ep3 that’s how jittery and insane this show makes me. But I worried for nothing, the creators of this show clearly know what they want and what they are doing. Ep 3&4... all I can say is: 👏👏👏 solid follow-up

Episode 3 (and a part of ep4) is all about parallels and the contrast between these parallels: 1, like the entirety of whatever happened between Jaewon & Jihyun in ep2 vs. walking the same steps, doing those same motions but now doing it alone? Brilliant! Taking care of others vs. not taking care of them (so they have to take care of themselves) and the reason for doing all of that...it’s all about perspective.

2, another parallel is the dynamic of Jaewon/Yoonwon vs. Jihyun/Aeri Jaewon and Yoonwon are what Jihyun and Aeri could be in the future (down to the detail of one of them thinking the other liked them bc they acted so friendly, or that they didn’t like the other but found a true ally) I'm a friendship maniac I love it more than anything. Now I want to make a separate post all about the importance of friendship for Jaewon and Jihyun and their character arcs

3, Joonpyo aka the heavenly hand of fate Joonpyo being obedient for once and not saying a thing just like Jihyun asked him to when meeting Aeri vs. Joonpyo introducing himself and chatting up Jaewon in the middle of the cafeteria without anyone asking him to... both of those times, at that moment, what Joonpyo did was the opposite of what Jihyun wanted (and what he felt he’d be saved by) yet as we can see in ep4 both of those times his roommate (enter Jihyun’s voice *and menace of a childhood friend*) actually helped Jihyun

4, the evolution of Jihyun and Jaewon’s interpersonal relationships Jihyun collects people after careful deliberation or is it the other way and others are the ones collecting him? broadening his circle (a place of support and care) is, in fact, in parallel with Jaewon slowly slipping out of others’ circles whilst tightening his own. They are both treading towards the same ideal but while Jaewon has to cut ppl out Jihyun has to let ppl in to get to that place where they are seen and valued for who they are

5, the cherry on top was the closing sequence. I’m in love with the visual, the music score, all the details building up, the parallel lines and symmetry in every single shot, seemingly playing on different sides and directions but colliding in the most breathtaking and intense harmony to complete all the unsaid things in a nonverbal way. But it is a quietness that screams

#and yes the joy jihyun felt when he could stand on the surfboard only to look at the beach and realise the absence of jaewon cut like a knif #also jaewon panicking when him kissing someone gets mentioned #yeah my man was so drunk off his ass he didnt know what he was doing #thats why his memory is crystal clear only so he can gay panic at the right times #pls he never once says he was drunk only that he drank a lot #on another note #the cinematography takes my breath away every other minute #having all those shots of jihyun like its a secret to look at him #the opening with t8s logo on it going from cold water to the heat of a fire #the therapy session and that reflection shot #where we still cant see jaewon #but hear him like he’s looking out at the world #reflected in spheres #guess what else is a sphere #u guessed right a fishtank #the eighth sense #여덟 번째 감각 #ep rundown

Hello, hey, dropping in with a query.

Since CS has officially concluded (congrats by the way!) I wanna ask about your own interpretation of Mother Nature.

She is absolutely my girl, I adore her, queen, but I wanna know how exactly she fits into the CS world structure. How does she keep looking so young when everyone else ages normally? What was her relationship to Mother Gaia? What kind of magical creature is she and was mother Gaia also the same kind? How does she fit into the government structure? HOW IS SHE SO TALL???

Idk, she's been on my mind a lot and I'm assuming we'll know a bit more about all that at some point but I can't wait that long lol

Thank you!! You know, it's so funny, bc while I was oot and aboot yesterday/Friday I was like "I can take a breather from writing, just focus on other things--" and not 24 hours later I had the Into the Shadows plotting doc open, as I finally figured out what happens in Chapter 7 🫠🫠

I WILL NEVER KNOW PEACE! But what can I say, I love this world and I love writing. Shit's FUN

ANYWAY. YOUR QUERY MY GOOD FRIEND. I COME WITH ANSWERS IN POINT FORM NOTES

It's all kinda rough tbh??? More like scattery thoughts if anything but HERE YOU GO! HAVE SOME CS LORE!

Okay okay so Mother Gaia was essentially the personification of ALL nature, and as such, could wield all Nature :) She looks like a sprite, tho, and for all intents and purposes would call herself a sprite--same with Mother Nature

This also checks out bc in CS, sprites are specifically fae who can control weather/nature/the elements! :)

Gaia was the Goddess's connection to the people, and got a little lonely when the Goddess was like "everyone is safe, things are going well, take it easy, Gaia!" so, she created a companion. A fellow personification of nature that she named Tara, who could do everything she could do

The Goddess gave her a light life, which is like a little ball of life that brings things to life (I am soo creative at naming things I swear) and Gaia used it to give Tara, well. life!

So, Mother Gaia was in all senses of the word, Mother Nature's Mother! Tara called her Mother and meant it in all the ways :)

Gaia trained her, raised her, loved her very very much and eventually started training her to take her own place one day

And that day came faster than expected for Tara when Mother Gaia fucking SNAPPED mid fae war and scorched the land to stop the fighting, in a stretch that has since NEVER GROWN BACK. It's known as the scar. Autumn lives close to it in modern-day CS.

Once that happened, Gaia was like APPALLED. She'd been just as bad as the fae fighting over who was best, using her powers for what she wasn't meant to use her powers for: hurting the Earth

She was beside herself; went to go talk to the Goddess and was gone for DAYS. All the fighting stopped, tho!

Then she and the Goddess came up with Rosehaven and the Call, and Gaia went with the old fae during the Call, leaving Tara to be the Next Mother Gaia

And she chose the title Mother Nature and here we are!

SO. In modern day CS, she is: the connection to the goddess for the magibeans, if they need her to be; guards the magic of creation/life/balance??? (a system I'm still trying to figure out lol, I'll have to dig up those notes at some point), and heads the Council with Father Time.

She's on the Assembly because when it was formed NOBODY felt right not having her on there, so she's kind of like. She's the approver of decisions lol. She lets them do their thing but if they ever come to an impasse they turn to her, and her word is essentially law

That's sort of why when the Twin Princes were born she was called to choose who'd rule next! Well, Gaia was, but Gaia left the decision to Tara as they were at That Point in training: POLITICS. If magibeans had an issue that couldn't be solved amongst themselves OR by the royals, MN/MG would be called upon and what she'd say, GOES

Which left for a lot of last minute swerves bc Gaia was clever and MN is just as clever. See: that story about the two people fighting over the chicken???? I forget what it was, anyway, the person presiding went CUT IT IN HALF and one was like okay cool! And the other was like SOB NO MY CHICKEN and the person deciding was like GOT EM LOL. That sorta shit.

In the event of an emergency, Mother Nature and the CS Governor (so Blaise since this mans just can't seem to lose an election, and he has TRIED some years) become de facto co-rulers and both have to agree on decisions before acting on them. This would be like. In a nasty war or like. end of the world circumstance kinda thing

SO YEAH SHE'S BASICALLY JUST THE HEAD BITCH IN CHARGE. KEEPS MOTHER FUCKERS IN LINE. WILL TELL PEOPLE IF WHAT THEY WANNA DO IS STUPID. ALSO, CONTROLS ALL NATURE AND KEEPS THE SEASONS GOING AND THE LIKE.

Why is she so young looking compared to everyone else? Well, if you asked her, she'd say you're only as old as you feel and offer no explanation. In terms of height, she'd look at you quizzically and go "Why not?" and that'd be her answer

this is Dani for "bc she can choose how to present herself and that's how she chooses too!"

kinda like Steven's gem reacting to his mindset sort of thing.

and also, tall Mother Nature just fucking SLAPS. She SHOULD be tall as FUCK! I subscribe to that! I LOVE tall MN. EVERYONE looks up to her--quite literally!

Except for like giants and trolls and other very tall magibeans and folklore creatures and the like 🤭🤭🤭

Hopefully I got all your questions! Thank you for asking! I LOVE thinking of early CS lore, it's so FUN and Mother Nature is one of my FAVES. I get so ragey in tsc fics where's she's written as a HUGE MEANER, super angry, etc etc and even borderline villain? GOD. I JUST. SHE'S A BADASS AND VERY SWEET AND EVERYONE FORGETS THE SWEET BIT!!! SHE WAS SO KIND TO SANTA AND THE OTHER LEGENDS IN THE MOVIES AND EVEN WHEN JACK WAS JACKING ABOUT, SHE WAS GENTLY CHIDING HIM!!!!!!! FUCK MAN! I'M GONNA EXPLODE JUST THINKING OF BAD MN CHARACTERIZATION! AH!

Please excuse the rant and uh, enjoy the heckin answer 😅😅😅

#dani answers #alpharra #cs lore #ask box shenanigans #crystal springs #and i GUESS i'll tag it as #tsc #as well. but not the full tag; this is way more cs lore than it is fanlore tbh lol #there's also two types of sprites! seasonal sprites and elemental sprites #the seasons and the frosts are all seasonal sprites--they have the whole entire season at their fingertips #elemental sprites are more like benders--can manipulate water or ice or fire or rocks/earth or make plants grow #i've got a lot going on in this big ol world i've found myself in lmao #ANYWAY THANK YOU FOR THE ASK!! I LOVE ASKS! ASKS ARE MY FAVOURITE! ESPECIALLY ONES THAT DETAIL ALL THE LORE FOR CS!! #CS ADJACENT ASKS IN GENERAL! AH! #i actually have a lil story planned that's about half (re) written that introduces the call and light lifes and how the seasons came to be #maybe I'll square it up and post it this summer!! :) #long post #sorry for the lack of read more i didn't know where it would best fit without breaking up the text #APOLOGIES TO YOUR DASHES

Yue Qingyuan caught Shen Qingqiu by the elbow and somehow did not lose a hand so truly Shen Qingqiu must still have a soft spot for his Qi-ge. Somewhere. Deep down. That was filled with acid and razorblades.

Shen Qingqiu reacts to unwanted physical contact like a rabid badger (chp. 7)

shadow crystals are so confusing like i know thats the point cuz we have like the bare minimum of information abt them rn but also what the hell are they intended to look like outside of being invisible. “their shadows move like water” what does that mean toby. is that supposed to be a darkworld equivalent to refraction or something. are the crystals translucent or do they just have a bumpy texture. what is your deal toby

#deltarune #shadow crystals #since the light world equivalent is glass #(which makes sense since all crystals are considered glass but not always vice versa) #i would imagine it would need to refract light thats similar to its darkworld description #like that would make sense right? that if it were transparent its light refraction would need to look similar to water right? #so itd have to be bumby right? #but then i think what if its not completely transparent. #because the shadow is also described as sharp right #so itd probably have a more angular shape right? so if it had a water like pattern inside or something instead right? #<-- guy (ungendered) who is getting confused over nothing #but also what is your DEAL mr fox #im typing this cuz i spent like hours researching crystals and light refraction #in order to determine a shadow crystal design for my fanon #but i say this all very affectionately /gen i am also just very confused though #like. i know realistically we'll probably find out as more chapters come out but #its also kinda fun to get confused thinking about it! if that makes sense
