Way back in the WIDTAWIITTOTRS (What is Determination and why is is the trait of the red soul) thread, I brought up Sans first Genocide Speech, and how it more or less gives the Player a canon role in the form of the Anomaly; even though Flowey was the one doung it before we got there.

His second Genocide Speech (spliced throughout the whole fight), explains what lead to this discovery, and hints at his and Papyrus' origins. How [he] can't go back, gave up, and doesn't find the surface appealing either.

My theory? That Sans and Papyrus are FROM Deltarune. It makes sense: Sans assumption that we're the cause of the RESETS - when it was Flowey for a majority of the time - is suddenly not an assumption when you consider how we just showed up and start doing the usual RPG stuff in Deltarune. This would make his jump to that conclusion more feasible since he "encountered" us before.

It also makes his knowledge about the Sun, and Papyrus'ignorance about it, more clear: how would Papyrus know about something he never saw before if he was (likely) too young to remember? Simple, he wouldn't.

And then there's the BIG thing: the fact we can can control the SOUL while it was locked in the cage. In Undertale, the Pacifist and Genocide Routes reveal Frisk and Chara to be their own people, leading to some blatantly meta moments (all involving Sans may I add) being left hanging and out of place in most theories strictly about canon.

Deltarune however, shows that we are the ones controlling the SOUL.

My explanation? That WE, The Anomaly, control Frisk physically, Chara acts as the narrator and mediator between the us and Frisk, and Frisk is the puppet who's only free mentally and verbally.

In the world of Undertale and Deltarune, we are not someone sitting and playing on a computer or console, we are an eldritch being that sees the world as a game, sees that it acts like a game, and plays it like one.
