I know why GUARDIAN is named that way

The Titan is the boss of the Third Sanctuary. The boss theme for the sanctuaries in Earthbound is called Sanctuary Guardian. It’s a disguised Earthbound reference.

(Sanctuary Guardian isn’t technically the official name for the song or the group of bosses, but it’s such a prevalent fan name there’s no way Toby hasn’t heard it before. )

(Horrible written version of the funny part of that song)

Also that song is legitimately really good, the meme isn’t the only reason I love that song

Holy crap
@Random_Kirby_Fan938 mother reference

I thought it was because it was Guarding the Angel’s Heaven, which is the prophecy’s other name for dark fountain

No.

Only they can seal the fountains
And banish the ANGEL'S HEAVEN.

Ralsei's prophecy refers to them as two different things.

maybe the Angel’s Heaven is the grand fountain or the titan fountain (because technically speaking titan’s are dark fountains that are sealable)

I doubt it would have no connection to lore

this should be listed in trivia on the wiki I think

On one hand, we already do that for Undertale's Another Medium (just under Creation and Development instead of Trivia).

On the other hand, this feels more speculative than Another Medium somehow.

Actually, Another Medium's name origin might not be less speculative after all. I only thought that way because I have been hearing about it since I was a child.

Another Medium is pretty solid, in my opinion. It’s an adaptation of a song he made for a Land in Homestuck, which reside in a space called the Medium, and I don’t know what else it could mean.

really
wow
