      kind of solid, actually. Since the internet is down, they wouldn't be able to order more from outside. This is assuming that 1. nobody had extra batteries lying around or 2. that the internet has been down for so long that they've already ran out. Or 3. people don't really have many extra batteries, and the internet has been down long enough that they've ran out of the few they had. I am interested to see if the reason the clocks all appear to be broken is explained in canon, though. Be pretty neat.

    3:33 saw this point get made on twitter so ill make it here, but the fact that clock has only 1 hand sprited and it is pointing straight down implies the time is 6:30, but it would be impossible for an analog clock to have both the hour and minute hand directly on top of each other for 6:30. Which gives alot more credit to the clocks having more meaning then shown.

  • @jcoxeye9200
    @jcoxeye9200 7 месяцев назад +42

    I note that it's also entirely possible for the meta reasoning for the specific positions of the clock hands to simply be 'Toby needed analog clock times and chose some at random' or 'Toby drew something mostly reasonable' or even 'Toby told someone else to draw some analog clocks and they (without specific knowledge of the timeline of events or what Toby hypothetically had in mind) drew some analog clocks with random, unimportant hand positions'.
    Given that I see no specific need to ascribe importance to the clock hand positions to begin with, I'm dubious of the rest of theory. Yes, some of the clock hands do indeed seem to point to dark fountain locations that we know of, but 2 of the 4 examples (Toriel's classroom's clock pointing up and QC's clock pointing up) are the minute hand pointing at 12. That is, exactly on the hour.
    It's more than possible in my eyes that the minute hands are pointing to 12 simply because Toby (or whoever drew the clocks) didn't need any more specificity, but still felt they needed to draw the minute hand at *some* position because the clocks would look weird without them.
    The other 2 examples (Alphys' and Toriel's classroom clocks pointing to the closet) could simply be coincidence. Do note that those 2 clocks are mirror images of each other; it's entirely possible (likely, in my eyes) that the classroom graphics were made for Alphys' classroom and then mirrored for Toriel's, thereby mirroring the clock. In that case, because of the symmetrical design of the school, if one of the two clocks happened to point to the closet, the other one would as well. And from there, 1 clock hand happening to point towards the closet doesn't seem like enough evidence to really base anything off of.
    In particular, although Alphys' classroom clock pointing towards the extra classroom is very reasonable (I'd argue you don't need this theory to argue for that being a potential dark world location), the process of divining a future dark world location from the other hand of QC's clock seems, well, dubious to me.
    Granted, if Toby Fox really did want to hint towards future dark world locations with clock hands, then he likely (in my opinion) wouldn't care *too* much about the exact direction, so it pointing to Flower King isn't too big of a stretch. But still, this particular process seems overly complicated to me. I'd further argue that, like with the unused classroom, you really don't need this theory to suspect a Flower King dark world.

    • @aweddellseal7882
      @aweddellseal7882 7 месяцев назад +1

      If the clocks supposedly look weird without the minute hand pointing to 12, then why does the unused classroom clock have it overlapping with the hour hand at 6? You could argue that it is to show the passage of time during the dark world adventure, but then why don't the other clocks change to this position?

      My thoughts are that it makes a lot more sense to simply draw one or two standard clocks at a random time and copy paste those assets anywhere you need a clock like you would any other miscellaneous object in the scenery than it would to set a specific time on every single instance of your otherwise identical background object if it was entirely meaningless 🤷

  • @SamHammie
    @SamHammie 7 месяцев назад +14

    Some notes on the video:
    Your idea that the clocks all point to dark worlds actually makes a lot of sense. The only issue I really take with it is as follows:
    In smaller communities, especially gated towns with a limited population, they often tend to educate children in larger grade ranges. To me, it seems like the unused classroom was formerly a pre-school type of environment, given the crayons, the checkerboard that has pieces all over the place (including mixed chess pieces), and the stuffed plush toy (Seam). If that is proven to be the case, then it's more likely that the art came majorly from there, by the kids who are currently in Toriel's class, which seems to be a group fully comprised of elementary school children (I think this is called primary school to those who aren't in the United States?), and if that's the case, then that also means that Alphys likely teaches all of middle school (secondary outside of the US, I think). This could also potentially explain why Susie seems physically a bit more over developed, since she could potentially be as old as 16 and just still held back for poor grades. I don't recall if Toby ever outright confirmed her age. This, when put all together, implies that the last classroom is likely for highschool (tertiary outside of the US, I think). If that last classroom is, in fact, the high school room, I could definitely see it being a later dark world - potentially even Chapter 7 - if only because it'd likely be difficult for Kris to enter the room, knowing that Asriel had been in that room a lot before he left for college.

      @@zixvirzjghamn737 Kris is probably about 13, and students like Temmie and Berdly are clearly less socially mature than him, implying that, at the very least, they are younger. You potentially _can_ be 14 or younger in high school, but you can also only enter the 9th grade by the time you're 15, as well as only graduating after you've been 18 for some time, even _without_ being held back a single year. My estimation that she's likely both socially and mentally underdeveloped and it resulted in her being held back for two years makes it likely that she would have been 19 when she graduated if she had done so when intended, but would end up graduating at 21 due to being held back twice. (Also, this implies that she'll be 17 before she ever gets out of middle school, which would make any romantic moments between her and Noelle be legally gray, if not outright black in some areas of the world, if it turns out to be true, so I could very much see this not being the case, or perhaps that Noelle chose to hinder her own progress in favor of staying back at least one year to make things less awkward.)

    Hello, my name is Jaru, and today, I will be eating, this delicious steak. A steak is a type of meat, usually from a cow, that has been cooked and may be seasoned with a variety of spices or a sauce - most typically, a special sauce known as a steak sauce. Today, my steak has been seasoned with several herbs, including rosemary and thyme, along with salt and pepper. The nutritional benefits of consuming this steak are dubious, but I have also prepared a fresh salad and some mashed potatoes on the side to add more balance. Now, without further ado, let's dive right in.
    Mmmm mmm! This steak smells delicious! I can feel my mouth watering already. This owes in part to the delicious assortment of herbs that serve as a sort of seasoning. Even without these, however, the natural juices of this steak make it smell absolutely fantastic. I am looking forward to eating this delicious steak.
    Mmmm, the flavor is immaculate! All those fats and juices, blending with the herbs and butter... It's really quite good! The texture is rather tender - not tough at all! For my next bite, I think I shall try these mashed potatoes.
    Oooh, that's good. They're well seasoned, with just a little bit of chunkiness left to them for that authentic texture. Absolutely wonderful. Of course, this exquisite steak and potatoes meal is not complete with some onions on the side. The flavor is slightly sweet, owing to the manner in which they were cooked, but still have a slight crisp crunchiness that is absolutely delicious. Now, I would be remiss not to try all of these together, so without further ado, I shall do so.
    Absolutely delicious! The savory flavor of the steak is nicely complimented by the onions. The potatoes also effectively compliment the combination, taking it from something very rich to something a bit more subtle and palatable. Tying it all together, of course, is the steak sauce, which adds just enough saltiness to keep things interesting. Finally, I shall try some of this fresh salad.
    That's quite nice. The lettuce is very fresh with a nice crunch, and the assorted vegetables such as tomatoes, shredded carrot, and cucumber add a nice variety to the texture. The vinaigrette dressing is also quite good. It has a good flavor to it, and the salad has just the right amount to prevent it from being overpowering while still being enough. Veerrryyy refreshing indeed.

      i like this. Maybe Kris quickly runs across the segment during the transition as to not allow us to see whatever is there and once we gain more control throughout the game, that's when we are gonna be able to see these segments of the map that we previously couldn't due to Kris trying to fight our control. Its almost like how Ralsei deviates our attention on him and kris to allow them to speak in private while we watch whatever susie is doing during that time. This seems very intentional on Toby's part as Toby did point out during susie vs. lancer fight on a live stream (ruclips.net/video/rksOYId-cNA/видео.html) that the soul appears from offscreen, which is an odd thing to point out if it wasn't something that toby wants us to dig deeper on.

I have long form videos from other creators that sit in my watch later list for weeks until I can find a moment to watch them. With so many in line, I don’t get to them quickly. This was much easier for me to jump on right away!

    While the short form content is easier to make. I love your long videos especially with the tangents. I love putting one on while I’m at working and just listening to the whole thing.

    Honestly, I wish I was so dedicated to Deltarune that I wanted to make a theory about broken clocks 😂. Frankly, I believe that most of Jaru's theories that dissect every tiny detail in Deltarune are likely about things Toby Fox made without actually thinking deeply about their purpose. But if any of these theories are right, I'll be impressed with how much detail Toby puts into foreshadowing.

    the clocks all being different is a really good observation. I hope it has some kind of meaning in the game, that would be awesome.

  • @jackatk
    @jackatk 7 месяцев назад

    I think the “canon” reason for the broken clocks is probably because it’s a small town with a slow life. I’m sure they start their days when the sun comes up and go home when the sun goes down, not bound to clocks

  • @JanceSoltero
    @JanceSoltero 4 месяца назад +1

    I mean, it would make sense. Toby Fox was always a person to give clues in the design of the game if he wasn’t finished in demo versions like he was giving the shop owners and the secret bosses in the game noticeable clues and hence on where we’re going and what other bosses are going to be in the next few dark worlds, so it wouldn’t make sense that he’s gonna be putting noticeable hints in the artwork!❤😅😊🎉

    Interesting, I've never seen anyone mention this before! I personally think it's unlikely that Toby would expand Hometown by adding another street between two existing streets, since I think it was confirmed he designed Hometown's layout prior to making Chapter 1, and Hometown itself is used for such sparse reasons that I feel it would be overly bloated to include more space when we barely use the existing space for anything but pure dialogue about very little as it is.

      @okluminous566 4 месяца назад

      i feel like we are building more on the light world as we progress through the story so it will have more usage besides being there as a segway between the dark worlds. Although Toby didn't mess too much with the map layout in Undertale, it could just be toby not caring too much about the layout of his games to begin with but with how meta Toby is getting with deltarune more so than with Undertale, I don't think it's too much of a stretch if Toby is manipulating the layout to fit whatever meta thing he wants to accomplish, like in this case preventing the "player" from seeing whatever is between the two segments of hometown bc Kris doesn't want us to see what's there. This is mostly to fit the narrative of this dark clock theory so don't take my yapping seriously but Toby does do these weird meta shenanigans for example how ralsei can deviate the player's attention, susie can prevent us from making a decision, or the many weird menus that these 2 chapters alone have.

    While I like the idea of seeing your theories more I have to say I really love your deep dive stuff the most. I think I personally would prefer smaller theories like this to be part of larger videos where there are many small theories that link together or something to that affect. But like, obviously I loved the video regardless and thank you for putting out content that I adore! Do what works best for your schedule and you :)

  • @tehdudester
    @tehdudester 7 месяцев назад +1

    It's good to see a quick interesting theory from you! I understand we've been waiting a long time for more Deltarune content, and one can only comb through the same content so many times and find new things to talk about.
    The chapters 3 and 4 release will be hella exciting!

  • @SamHammie
    @SamHammie 7 месяцев назад +1

    You know, it's kinda funny...
    I can sometimes take really stupidly arbitrary grudges with people.
    Sometimes I can remember why for years, because it really struck a chord with me at the time it upset me so much, like how I refused to watch MatPat for years because of his film theory on the potential jail time Willy Wonka could face for his crimes (due in part to how much "Pure Imagination" influenced my childhood)...
    And I had a grudge against Jaru for quite some time as well.
    If I recall correctly, the theory that got to me on such a fundamental level was one stating that Ralsei is Kris's red goat horns, and the only reason Ralsei looks so much like Asriel is that Kris accidentally killed him and put his dust on the horns before the story.
    I was an extremely firm believer a while back that monsters bleed due to some dialogue in the game in Chapter 1 saying "everybody bleeds, right?" or something to that effect near the salsa tree stump.
    I also thought that the unused sprite in Chapter 2 was proof that monsters bleed too, but knowing what I know now about how Gerson's dust was spread on his hammer in Deltarune, and the fact that Toby isn't working alone with Temmie anymore but rather has a full team of artists, it's pretty safe to assume that somebody on the art team could have made the same assumption that I did and created that sprite by mistake.

    I think these shorter theories are great! While I love the longer more in depth theories aswell, you dont always have multiple free hours to watch deltarune theories, and these shorter ones reducing time between uploads could also be nice. Obviously would love more longer theories in the future but I think these shorter videos will also be well liked. Keep up the good work, love your theories!
