dletarune, undertale, major spoilers, theorycrafting
so i was thinking about the way chapter 1 ended and what the significance of that might be, and also about some things from undertale. i know toby made that post that said the two games are only loosely connected, but i think it might be more than that. it's pretty much confirmed that they are alternate universes with the same characters living different lives, but i feel like events of one universe have or will affect events in the other.

nice job spelling that cw idiot. anyway.
i feel like what we have going on here is a homestuck type situation, both universes' continuity has been affected by things in the other. let's look at the ending stinger, those were some pretty massive chara vibes, yeah? what if deltarune's universe was one of the "next worlds" they wanted to move on to? if that universe is truly independent from undertale, the events of the genocide route-

-but also possibly the true pacifist route, and maybe even every other route, could have all happened as well.
you know what other character might also have the ability to transcend, or at least influence other universes? sans. we're pretty sure the stuff in his secret lab alludes to deltarune.
so what if, from sans' perspective, the events of deltarune, whatever they may be, happen first for him (possibly because of chara)-

-and then he is transported somehow to undertale's universe, which, if we make an assumption, would explain why somebody with such a keen insight into timeline shenanigans, at the point of deltarune, doesn't seem to recall any of undertale. by the time he's in undertale though, he basically knows exactly what is going on.
chara in possesion of kris maybe could have catalyzed those events, giving us a sort of circular stable time loop.
self re: deltarune, undertale, major spoilers, theorycrafting
people who are familiar with homestuck will probably understand exactly what i'm talking about, toby would be no stranger to cross-universal time travel shenanigans.
either that or i'm reading way too hard into it. anyway.
