So
(And how it may relate to Chapter 3’s setting and theme!)
I don’t think I’ll be doing a lot of theorizing on this game as we’re just on 2 out of 7 chapters, but the underlying background to this group of characters and how they relate to our protags and influence the story felt *really* interesting to me and I hope to see it being talked about more.
You can find Asgore’s alarm clock dialogue about Rudy here and it’s a trip to read so I recommend it: HERE
I made it for a local artbook (unpublished), Determination Artbook with the theme : Soundtracks, but I’m not sure if it’s going to continue anymore lmao - it’s dying, it’s hasn’t been published yet but eh. It’s following Toby Fox’s request of it not being mass-produced and sold, if you were wondering - also, it’s not a known artbook project. Either way, that doesn’t really matter since it’s not published anyway lmao. I’m honestly disappointed that it’s been delayed for so many months but stuff happens. I could’ve submitted this for the UT Charity Artbook instead but it’s too late now since I learned about it way past its deadline.The theme of the DT Artbook is soundtracks and I chose three soundtracks : Alphys, Bonetrousle, and The Choice.
All three were done in less than a day because they’re rushed and done in one sitting. I also streamed them on picarto.

image description under the cut
[ID: A four page comic with a mostly monotone dull dark blue pallete, with accents of a bright red and electric blue color.
The first image shows Noelle and Kris from Deltarune approaching the electric barrier puzzle. Noelle walks off and says "Looks like you need to hold it down. Kris, you keep standing on that one!" In red, Kris's soul repeatedly tells them to Step off of the button that turns the barrier off. Kris is distressed by this, whipping around to look at their soul in an empty space (now dressed in their light world sweater) and says "I CAN'T. SHE'LL DIE."
Image 2: The soul keeps insisting on stepping off, so Kris does so, their eyes turning black and blank as the soul takes over their body. In red text is the word "Proceed" twice. The next panel is of Noelle, with closed eyes and a smile (even though she looks nervous) saying "Kris!! Stay on the switch! Stay! Stay!" Kris sighs in relief that she's alright, and when she asks "Gosh, do you need a dog treat or something?" they respond with "yes" with a smile. Noelle walks off the page, saying "My turn!"
Image 3: Noelle beckons Kris over and is grinning to herself. As Kris walks over, she snickers, and hops off of her button and activates the barrier. We see a shot of her giggling and one of Kris, whose back is turned to the audience, the electric barrier right in front of them.
Image 4: Noelle asks "How'd you like that?" with a grin, Kris's face is obscured. She continues more cheerfully "You should've seen the look on..." And Kris's face is revealed, looking upset and heartbroken. Noelle's text ends with "... Your face..." The background is a gradient from the bright red to the dark blue. End ID]
