This is my second blog. Wowie! Hello again.
I've recently read about the "Asriel's dust" theory by Jaru. It's this theory by the aforementioned claiming that Asriel was apparently murdered by Kris and that his dust ended up settling onto whatever object Ralsei ended up being. Therefore, Ralsei is some type of half-Lightner, half-Darkner homunculus created from the dust of some dead goat kid. It was also claimed that Kris is possessed by Asriel through the SOUL, the one the player plays as, and that the reason Kris opened up a Dark Fountain at the end of Chapter 2 is because they're on some secret quest to resurrect Asriel from the dead.
Yeah, I don't really believe it. I mean, that's kind of a common consensus among most people in the Undertale/Deltarune community really. It just makes no sense. Why the fuck would he be dead this whole time when it's quite sternly said that he's pissed off to college? I am aware Jaru claimed Kris is covering up Asriel's death by pretending that Asriel pissed off to College in the dead of night and telling anyone who wants to speak to him (I.E, Burgerpants) that Asriel's phone is "broken", but it still feels flimsy. Why wouldn't Toriel ask any questions? She is a VERY overprotective individual, as can be seen in Undertale. Wouldn't she have smelled bull by now and/or questioned Kris?
Also, why would Asriel be dead too? Dess (Noelle's missing sister) already fills in the "dead/missing ghost kid" role, so why have another dead monster kid running around causing havoc in Hometown? Plus, Asriel being dead was already done in Undertale, so why do it again? Perhaps someone could hypothetically say it could be done as a "callback" to Undertale. Or perhaps, like his parents, Asriel is doomed to have something miserable that happened in Undertale happen to him once again in Deltarune. Still though, I doubt he's pushing up daisies, at least for now.
I can somewhat imagine a more plausible version of this theory, one that can perhaps be more convincing to the average Underrune (Undertale/Deltarune) fan, though I doubt the theory in any form is true regardless, as like I said earlier it'd make no sense for 2 ghost kids to be causing havoc at the same time.
Perhaps, instead of Asriel being dead, he at some point before pissing off to College injured himself, which resulted in a bit of his dust flaking off onto whatever object Ralsei ended up being. After all, when Papyrus is fatally injured in Undertale, his body is the first to dissolve while his head remains intact for a short while. Therefore, it's entirely possible that Monsters can have some of their dust flake off when they're hurt/injured in some way.
In my eyes, this version makes a bit more sense than the original theory, as you can have the "best" of both worlds. You can not only have Ralsei still be some Half-Lightner, Half-Darkner abomination, but on top of that, you can also have Asriel be alive and at college. You'd also have Dess be the only dead/missing ghost kid in Deltarune as well, which in my opinion makes far more sense than there being 2 dead/missing kids at the same time.
This sub-section of the blog is dedicated to whatever random thoughts come up in my mind on a daily basis about various fictional characters from whatever media I have a hyperfixation on at that moment in time. Many of these might not make any sense, and many might be insanely stupid. However, I need to dump these thoughts somewhere so they can be remembered by me, and maybe by you as well. This sub-section will probably be in every blog henceforth.
