- Thought I'd try my hand at making a little theory video. I hope you enjoy it! It took a whole lot of time, and I defo have a lot more respect for people who do this :)
The cute jackalope avatars were drawn by @easternCriminal :D she can also be found on tumblr ( / the-east-art )

I *love* the idea you posited with Nest Theory! That'd be such a neat little treat for players who found eggs!
Oh gosh, this makes the line, “You won’t make it through your teenage years without at least one egg” so much more sense if it’s true. Great job on this theory!
I really hope this is true because it means that Satoru Iwata accidently wrote important deltarune lore when he was deciding what funny thing the egg seller in Twoson says when you refuse to purchase his eggs
Honestly I just thought that was an Earthbound quotw
Oh I was talking about when Lancer said that
Well mine cracked!
you mean itoi@@sanrusdyne
Cool jackalope person! I love your little theory. Some say the eggs are just literal Easter eggs but I can't help but feel a certain darkness to them.
Y'know, I didn't think of this until watching, but Noelle's experience with the egg in Cat Petterz kinda brings to mind a metaphor for raising a child. Noelle initially wanted the egg to hatch into something cooler; and when that didn't happen, she tried to throw it away. When neither of those worked, though, she accepted it for what it was and started doing her best to take care of it, which resulted in it leaving home due to happiness. Similarly, a parent can't truly control what their kids are like or how they grow, and it's best to accept and love them no matter what rather than rejecting them for not fitting certain standards. In the end, though, no matter how much a parent and child love each other, the child will still have to leave home someday. Heck, that experience of having someone you've loved and cared for leave home is exactly what Toriel is currently going through with Asriel leaving for college.
Does this metaphor hold up at all? I dunno! What does it mean for the lore of the eggs? No clue!
Great video, though! I like that you talk about these topics that we currently know almost nothing about; you're free to just throw out ideas and see what sticks, and it really gets my creative juices flowing and think about all the endless possibilities!
Would this mean that Ralsei has an Egg and that's why we have to bring everyone back to Castle Town ? So that they're protected during the Roaring ? Would make sense with the fact that Ralsei knows more than he lets on.
Oooh yeah. I feel like that would almost make it seem more like the roaring is inevitable and Ralsei is desperately trying to put together some kind of safe haven and save as many as he can
@@browniefox7218 Yeah that would be interesting. I mean I'm pretty sure the Roaring will happen at some point. Maybe at the end of Chapter 5.
After all, I feel like there's a reason Toby decided to make 3, 4 and 5 together. Something important will happen at the end of Chapter 5, I'm sure of it.
@@Oceane1803 theyre not together anymore :p but yeah considering toby has only mentioned stuff past chapter 5 once or twice, and was working at "setting up stuff for the next chapters" (implying it's past ch.5)... they're going to be very different
I really like the idea of nest theory honestly
im convinced the eggs will hatch into mini berdlys tho
The eggs unlock the true ending: berdly invasion
The real reason berdly is a "forgettable bluebird": he's actually gaster's son
Damn, the nest theory sounds really cool, honestly.
I love your artstyle! Super cute and cozy. As for the theory itself, its very, very interesting how different people look at the Eggs, as I've seen everything from them being literal eggs laid by and handed out by the Everyman (due to its birdlike nature and, well, being a mysterious man we've seen a LOT in Deltarune) to the eggs being fragments of Gaster that we are helping to put back together for some extra lore and/or bonus during the last few chapters. Personally, I think the Eggs will effect the lightworld positively, and the dark worlds negatively, but I'm not sure how. Chapters 3-5 can't release soon enough!
Oooh I like the idea that they will have a good effect on one world but then will negatively impact the other. And thanks, I’m glad you like the art, tho the jackalope character was drawn by @becky_weber, but I did draw the background and the other little pictures that show up :3
Keep making videos like this. This video is rough around the edges, but your voice (personality) shines right through regardless. Keep moving forward and you will naturally improve. You will find success - but I just want to see you fulfil the potential that here is so blatant.
So I will request once more; keep making videos.
0:00 to 0:03
this sentence is so absurd without the deltarune context lmao
sometimes I wonder if we're all collectively insane
anyway, nice video!
The Egg is in all of us. It watches over all our actions. It watches us spread the word of Egg and it watches us sin.
The Egg judges us whit it's silent disapproval of a sad parent.
You are the Egg.
I am the Egg.
We are ALL THE EGG!
And the Egg is all of us.
Unless it's a Bucket. A reassurance bucket. ... We won't talk about the reassurance Bucket, or the yellow line, or Stanley...
Only the Egg ... And Monika.
Just Monika and also Just ..THE Egg!
really cool that youtube is starting to recommend lesser viewed videos! hope yours blows up!
its surprisingly unheard of to hear people speculating the eggs purpose in this way, i'm so glad to see someone's take on them !! great work, I truly hope that the eggs will come into play in the game :D
Relating to what you said about how the might game punish you akin to the no mercy route in undertale, perhaps both theories are true but the bad version might occur only on the snowgrave route, which is like deltarune’s version of no mercy. This way the game will still punish players who did the bad route in the end
I really like that idea; that the eggs reflect your play style. Sort of like a ‘how you ‘raise’ them determines the outcome’
@@browniefox7218 Ooh I love the wording of this! Also, reminds me of the thing where the egg left due to happiness... Almost like whatever consequence takes place is not going to mess with the player/world/characters if you raise it well by treating the world/characters kindly?
I like the idea, but I'm pretty sure you can't get the second egg on the snowgrave route
One interesting thing about the eggs is that they aren't dark eggs and don't become some different item in the light world. They are eggs with nearly the same properties in the dark and light world.
I love the bunny avatar. Top tier.
Really neat thoughts!!! I like the idea that it’ll either create a locked space or a safe space.
Another great theory! But maybe the egg is just meant to show us that the dark world is in fact real, which ppl had doubts about back in chapter 1, which would make it perfectly ''not too important, not too unimportant either''. But surely there's more to it
i hope the eggs just lead to a secret egg based secret super hard boss based around the knight and gaster and stuff
Lovely video! A pleasant style, a nice voice, and a cool theory :D
I like the Nest Theory, as it seems more plausible!
Eggs don't hatch if they haven't been fertilized. They will just rot. If you buy eggs from the grochery store, no matter how long you keep them, they will never hatch. Eggs are like a chicken's period. But nevertheless, interesting video! 👏💗 I love your OC! They're really cute!
There's actually a rare chance the egg from the store did get fertilized and then you hear chirping in the fridge later
I feel like the man behind the tree knows something about the Knight.
This is the first time I see your channel and I have to say, your jackalope OC is adorable ^^
I have a wild idea to add to this theory! That being that I once made a speculation to my friends about chess theory, and how chapters 3 ,4, & 5 could have 2 secret bosses each to match chess boards since chess boards have 2 Rooks, Bishops, & Knights. But when we got to the Pawn (which would theoretically be chapter 6) and knowing there are 8 pawns in chess I came up with a theory saying that chapter 6 will have you hustle through 8 different miniature dark worlds across town. Maybe the eggs connect to that, and they are the gates to opening more Dark Worlds! But these egg dark worlds are meant to get all of the secret bosses out of the way. I feel if you didn't get all the eggs chapter 6 will have at least 3 mini dark worlds in the main story.
Really like this theory.
I've kinda fallen into the same trap of thinking the Man behind the tree is Gaster with the rest of the community. But even if I were to get my head out of that space, this is open to multiple interpretations of their identity anyway. Think it's Gaster? Think it isn't? It works either way.
Personally, my running theory was that they were just supposed to be gifts, mainly to help their recipients with their lives. With most of what you do, they always end up at their destination, whether you throw them away or not. It works with Asgore, the guy's living off free pickles and keeps giving away flowers instead of selling them, so he isn't doing very well, but not so much with sans, unless it really does turn out that Gaster is the Man and is connected to the Skelebros. And it would have to turn out that sans isn't doing so well in some aspect. Maybe financially, or maybe this was to help with his brother.
Really, though, like many things in Deltarune, we don't know the full picture yet, so any theories going to be coming up a little short.
I personally believe that the eggs are meant to be literal Easter eggs. Sort of like another meta reference.
I LOVE THE IDEA OF RE-PURPOSING THE CONCEPT OF THE SPACE IN BETWEEN, IS SO TOBY FOX-like
I like two theories about the egg that 1: eggs help people somehow food, drawing, fall test, and so on if you read jojo part 7 or Homestuck (or any decent time travel story) little things make huge difference (butterfly effect) 2: Gaster gave us the eggs as a prank and run over the town soon to be the world
To add on to nest theory, what if you could also see darkners in egged/nested buildings corresponding to hypothetical dark worlds based on those buildings?
ur character is so cute ❤️😭
i love your videos and your little characterer ^_^
Your avatar is So cute and has So many emotions and it's So good to look at!
Final chapter is just going to be gaster making omelet
Maybe they unlock a op weapon?
Oooh that’d be really cool! Haha bonus points if the weapon is like a frying pan but is really epic in the dark world
I think they'll be used to cook a super big omelette
did you say, put eggs in places they won't notice, and then put it in the fridge of someone who is out of food?
you really think asgore WON"T eat the egg?
Seems like more of a pickle guy. Eggs are last resort. And by won’t notice I mostly mean like isn’t out of place haha
That person standing behind your avatar is really freaking me out he looks too real compared to the oddly adorable deer thing
Person?
@@browniefox7218it's Gaster
😱😱😥😥🫡😅😂
All the emotions you felt when you read these comments 😭.
Huh, I kinda like the nest theory. It makes sense. I'm not that caught up on the Roaring lore, is that just darkness taking over the light world?
It’s unclear, tho that does seem to be what Ralsei’s tale implies - that darkness will cover the land, darkners turn to stone, and lightners are lost in the dark. Titans are also said to come from the dark fountains, and while it is implied that they are a threat, nothing in Ralsei’s tale seems to state explicitly *how* they are a threat
my personal outlook on life is glass half egg
Good video. I think your video names are obtuse - they don't really let the viewer know what they are getting into
Legit thanks for the feedback! I’m still clearly figuring this whole thing out, and titles are always one of the things I struggle with the most
Nest theory is best theory!
just the title, i'm sold
5:53 I would argue against this point, as players find the egg through ignoring story progression, and forcing the characters to do innocuous movements that don't make any sense within the game world itself. In addition to this, the no mercy route is taking the troupe of a completionist mindset against the player, and the eggs could easily be seen as at least related to that, as the only way players know that the eggs are there in the fist place is through looking it up online. I agree with you on a diagetic level, but on a meta level, I feel like there is plenty of interpretations that would support the first option of your theory
Sorry this has nothing to do with the video but your voice is really nice :)
Haha thanks! I was super self conscious about it (who isn’t) especially over how I pronounce my ‘t’s, but I’m glad people like my voice!
Personally, I feel like the eggs might be "not too important" because they are just eggs; and they are "not too unimportant" because they are hidden collectibles.
Third Theory... There is a world where Noel Holiday is being set up to be the big bad optional villain, the Sans of Deltarune if you will. The eggs are Noels memories, and allow us tometaphorically or literally crack Noel's egg. Get through to her, remind her who she is. Optionally we could find out she is trans and the eggs serve a punful meaning. I still think Noel in the knight!
Oh that’s a fun theory! Kind of collecting what you need to get the good ending of that battle.
Well Noelle is definitely not the knight
egg
eg.
I think your egg theroy is a nice one. Different from what most are talking about. Wish there was more on them to discuss
You actually got the Hometown beach setting wrong. Its actually on the East coast of the United States, Jacksonville Florida to be exact.
The only thing that comes to mind with Jacksonville Florida is The Good Place, so uh I cant Tell if you’re being serious or not. Either way tho, oh well! I was kind of more going for vibes rather than exact location. Hometown has always reminded me vaguely of the east coast, but more north, like Maine or Rhode Island (probably bc I’ve been there lol)
@@browniefox7218 it's clearly in Florida there are no basements
@@browniefox7218I agree
I watched this while eating eggs :>
I really like the nest theory with how the eggs could protect the monsters around them.. it could be that players have to backtrack/replay the game to find the eggs in order to reach the best possible ending, similar to how Undertale was? (Maybe all the fountains would re-open towards the end for that??) Idunno lol
Do you think this means there will be 7 total Hometown locations to place the eggs?
It would be interesting if, like a true pacifist ending, you’re forced to dive back in after the ending to put a final piece together or get one more egg or something.
I defo think there’s going to be 7 locations, and I’ve been trying to figure them out. Maybe your house, the hospital, the school, the knocking door apartment, the back alley, and ice’s or something? Hard to tell so far if a place with an egg can also be a place with a dark fountain.
IT'S HIM
I love your character, they're so adorable!
this is a cool idea! makes me wonder if there will even be an egg next chapter, considering that the dreemurr dark world (probably) wasn't made by the knight...
E.G.G.
Did you know? Quiches are made with eggs.
(me positing the theory that the abandoned quiche in waterfall is supposed to maybe be an allusion to the broken machine in sans shed to mean that undertale sans had given up on the machine. Toby fox did confirm that wherever ut sans is from, he won't be able to get back. Dont know if thats what i was supposed to get from the quiche, but even still. Quiches are made with eggs!)
These theories sound completely plausible! And I totally forgot that egg in wingdings is literally how a knight is supposed to move during chess. So it makes a LOT of sense! I might even just map it out.
Chess = first dark world > knight = related to the creation of the dark worlds > egg spelled in wingdings reveals the movements a knight makes in chess > eggs are related to a mysterious man character > wingdings are related to gaster = Gaster is the man behind the tree AND the knight confirmed. Holy cow, can’t wait to find out more about this man behind the tree, the eggs and just everything lore-wise in general!
You beat around the bush wayyy too much.
Personally I think the eggs are a sort of collectible item, in the same way as the shadow crystals however with a much easier way of getting them, they’re important enough to have a counter for them, but not important enough to completely devolve the story, I think in future chapters there will be an egg for each dark world which once you collect one you place it in a certain spot, and once you collect them all the game rewards you with either an item or less likely a secret boss. Giving it a level of importance yet only to a degree of “hey that’s pretty cool maybe I’ll collect them for it” while not having any real meaning to it, but it’s a cool item (or boss fight) so it’s an “if you want” type deal
I love the hometown bg! I feel like im there lol
WOW nest theory is so neat and makes me happy to think about..... thank you for sharing! nest theory best theory!!

Lore of Rotten Egg and Nest Theory - Deltarune Theory momentum 100
Nest Theory is certai ly something I've considered before, but not to this degree! Loving your content ❤
Do you plan on making more deltearune content in the future?
Yes! I’d like to make a video about why you should play Undertale before deltarune, another short one like this about my sister’s Titan theory, and then I have a video that kinda about indie games in general but does talk about deltarune. And then probably more, when I think of the ideas lol. Always open for suggestions tho!
@@browniefox7218 then I shall subscribe. Look forward to seeing your future videos
neat theory. my boywife has a jackalope character too
