I'm imagining Spamton looking over you in future chapters, observing your journey towards the Heaven that, despite becoming the most powerful darkner in existence, he couldn't reach by just so little; his long and meaningful life ended on a bittersweet note, as he realized he truly couldn't be anything more than a puppet, but at the same time there's still hope for him. Hope that the heroes will achieve Heaven, the same Heaven he got a glimpse of; that day, he will be redeemed and become truly free, and he'll finally live forever in happiness. This cover is what would play when Kris is defeated from Spamton's point of view.
everyones going OMG HOMESTUCK OMG PENUMBRA PHANTASM! and im here for that too but this really still manages to hold up as a final boss theme even without the main melody
STOP POSTING ABOUT PENUMBRA PHANTASM! I'M TIRED OF SEEING IT! THE SONGS IN HOMESTUCK ARE PENUMBRA PHANTASM, IN UNDERTALE IT'S FUCKING PENUMBRA PHANTASM! I was looking at boss predictions, right? and ALL OF THE THEMES were just Penumbra Phantasm. I-I showed Hopes and Dreams to my girlfriend and t-the melody I removed it and I said "hey babe, when the Penumbra is Phantasm HAHA DUN DUN DUN DUNDUN" I fucking looked at THE HOLY and said "THAT'S PENUMBRA PHANTASM" I looked at She's Playing Piano I hear the piano rhythm and I go "PIANO? MORE LIKE PIANUMBRA PHANTASM" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHGESFG
At this point I've given up believing that toby fox is a human being like no, you can't just make my favourite video game, then my other favourite video game, and then my other favorite video game and then it comes out that you've been foreshadowing this shit since 2011 and that secrets in the game are still coming out like you're only allowed to do one of those things 💀💀💀
If you go a little further than "oh, he inserted Penumbra Phantasm into Hopes and Dreams", then you can see almost 100% similarity of the segment 00:22 - 00:45 with the main motif of Penumbra And if you also take the fact that at the end of Penumbra you can hear something similar to the main melody of Undertale, then you can catch yourself on very interesting reflections
It's you. Only you. Nothing else matters anymore. Except... Your thoughts. Your bad memories are slowly taking over you as *WE* speak. *Is this YOUR fate?*
This and gaster's theme being based on an unreleased tumblr tracks that was then uploaded to the homeztuck soundtest library means that deltarune will become tumblr in 2014
NO WHY IS THIS ACUTALLY SAD MAGDELENE (isaac's mom's presumed name (i think???)) SAYS GOOD JOB TO ISAAC ITSOIJSNOEIJDFNVOIJENFDOVIENFFOIBJDNOVFIIDVNGOIJBNDOGIFJ
Further plot twist: the leitmotif being present is actually because Asriel absorbed Clover's SOUL, since the motif (used in UT:Y as the Wild East motif) from Clover's portion of the Omega Flowey battle originates from Homestuck
Its cuz hopes and dreams (apparently) has the penumbra phantasm motif (penumbra phantasm is an unreleased homestuck song by toby) and people just found that out.
it's okay you just casually helped a large ammount of people hear a melody very important to toby fox's istory in a song they didn't know it was in so thanks :D
I fervently hope that Toby Fox uses Penumbra Phantasm in Deltarune, if he purposely hid it in this song and it is also mentioned that he initially did not want that song to be revealed because it was for something beyond. It gives me hope.
Definitely my favorite in game track, sucks that ridiculon didn't think the same and decided to make it the ONLY song in the game not officially in the ost
Tbf it might have been hard to translate to the album. there are so many unique combinations to go along with each layer That”s just my guess anyways, idk why else they could’ve excluded it otherwise, but regardless I wish they didn’t this whole song esp the Downpour layer is a dinger
