Right so something I found weird (and I can't be the only one thinking this) is HOW do the Dark Worlds have backstories if they were only recently opened?
I have the most crack theory of all time. What if all the dark world backstories were the stories Kris, Asriel, Noelle, and Dess came up with when they were kids? We know that they would play with the light world forms of many of the main darkners (as stated by Ramb) and when I think of that, I imagine what I used to do as a kid, assigning personality and stories to these inanimate objects... and even backstories.
Perhaps these things that happened before the dark world was opened... were just the stories they made up as kids? Of course, this theory gets a little hazy sometimes, but if you consider it more and more... I could see Asriel and Dess coming up with "Spam email big shot breaks up with TV man" type shite.
AND this would make way more sense than "Dark worlds have been opened before" since that's probably not true, but I dunno.
What do you guys think? Have I gone insane waiting for Sea of Sorrow, Ch5 AND Treachery layer at the same time? Has it finally broken me? Or is my theory actually decent?
I'd like to mention I have not watched a lot of Deltarune theory videos, so i'm not very Literate in the DR Lore world. I have a decent understanding of what's going on, but not much.
This is possible but I think that, since dark worlds run parallel to the light world, their history simply did happen there, shaped by the events of the light world
The playing of the children was definitely a big influence though
No my thought was that everyone (darkner, not lightner) had thoughts and stuff and so they could feel it they just couldn’t do anything physically (like let’s say Kris accidentally threw something at Tenna when they were younger. Tenna wouldn’t have been able to do anything at that time, but he could feel it, and could feel emotions involving the action. Then, when the dark world is made, Tenna would still feel that, but now, with physical, personal form, he can do something)
I think it's like this:
Dark Worlds existed as Parallels to the Light World since the dawn of time, but if a not-Darkner were to see it, it would be hazy and dark, very dark. However, Dark Fountains are means to the Lightners to acess and interact with it, but changing it heavily at the opener's will. Only the Grand Fountain truly shows a Darkner that isn't under a Lightner's DETERMINATION, since it exists since the birth of the Universe as we know it.
(SEA OF SORROW, TOMORROW!!!!!!!)
Personally I think dark fountains are doors to dark worlds which are influence by what happens in the light world and dark fountains also heavily bend/reshape the dark worlds depending on what the user wants/is
No this is kind of a bad theory because like
the darkners did actually do things in the dark world before the dark fountains were made
Spamton hung out with Tenna and signed papers and took phone calls
I’m assuming you mean they just lived as inanimate objects before the dark fountains exist to be clear
They are aware of the light world but I would say the dark world always exists
