Savior of the Waking World | DELTARUNE Chapter 7 UST 

I imagine people trying to google the chapter 7 music when it comes out and they have to dig through piles of USTs in order to find what they want lol

Are you really going to tell me that The Angel didn't have the foresight to kill Kris somewhere other than a suspiciously human teenager sized quest bed?

Kris dreemur is a valid human name in homestuck

If Toby uses these motifs I will literally explode into a cloud of special stardust.

Kris: Knight of Heart Ralsei: Prince of Void Susie: Rogue of Rage Noelle: Muse of Hope

Savior of the Waking World heavily uses leitmotifs from Doctor and Penumbral Phantasm Doctor = Gaster Savior = Kris The Waking World = The Light World given the Dark World has heavy emphasis on Dream and sleeping Knight = One who actively Serves through their aspect, typically using blades weapons. Usually hide their true self and insecurities. Heart = Soul, Passion, Determination, Mercy. John rose after being killed by Jack Noir, a demon, and the main villain of Homestuck, Lord English, is often called the *Angel* of Double Death. How FUCKING far does this rabbit hole go man.

This song really feels like a "But the earth refused to die" for Kris, it just OOZES a sense of burning perseverance to not die. The inclusion of the "My Castle Town", and "Gaster" motifs are really well done- thanks for the amazing work [and pixel art]!

time aspect has a lot to do with death and decay kris has a lot of associations with the undead like "sleeping like a corpse" in class and being blue like a suffocated body in the dark world they also have a lot of associations with puppets and control similarly to little cal, who housed the lord of time and could mess with characters heads, poisoning their minds and somewhat controlling them

[S] Kris: Ascend.

This feels like the theme of Susie giving a speech to all of the Darkners to give them hope to fight back against the Roaring.

Kris is dead. Their body crashes without a sound onto the barren ground and the world spins without a master. > GET UP. Your attempts at commanding your once living vessel remains still. > GET UP. The repeated command falls on bloodied ears and broken bones without a response. Darkness whirls around Kris. You gave up. Gaster’s thick overcoat jingled and rattled, fluttering and flapping through the golden winds. He stares at the almighty destructor. “We have to help Kris!” Ralsei shouted, trying to push Gaster out of the pathway of Kris’s charred body. “Dammit, get a grip!” Susie snatched Ralsei away from Gaster. “IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO?” Susie yelled through the winds. Gaster did not respond. Ralsei sobbed and Susie held tightly, trying to restrain her tears. The Angel’s light swelled, reaching the precipice of it’s power. Everything would die for a million years and this impotent world was the start of an unending genocide. “THERE WERE TWO CHOICES,” Gaster finally said, turning his cracked head to Ralsei and Susie. “YOUR FRIEND CHOSE EXCEPTIONALLY.” > I’M TIRED OF THIS MELODRAMA. GET UP. Kris’s only eye flickered. The red eye shimmered. The Angel stopped it’s final attack. The world-breaking corpse apocalypse did not come to pass. “YOU HAVE A FIGHTING CHANCE. LOOK.” Susie let go of Ralsei and the two quickly moved to the cliff’s edge, seeing the spotlight of the Angel’s hyperdeath beam point towards Kris. Ralsei and Susie watched with fervent anticipation. Gaster loomed over both of them. > PLEASE STOP. I’M TIRED OF THIS PROSE AND I’M TIRED OF THIS DIALOGUE MADE FOR AMATEURS. GET. THE. FUCK. UP. “I want pie.” > ????? “Give me pie, and I’ll get up.” > I DON’T- “Hurry or the world’s gonna end.” > FINE. You move over to the butterscotch pie in what remained of Kris’s inventory, miraculously intact. You feed what remained of Kris. “Thanks.” Fireflies hovered around the body and Kris who was nearly bisected began to hover without even being alive. Drifting through the only source of light in a blackened earth, Kris feels alive again. Kris feels like Kris. You feel like Kris. Kris is Kris. The Angel is watching. Kris’s body comes back to life again, immortal and unending. Kris’s blue skin returns and their armor reforms. Metal returns to where it whence came and the soul is grasped with the force of a enraged child and is shoved back into the chest where it belongs. The red light is not as big as the angel’s light, but it is brighter. Everyone is elated as Kris rises from the dead. > I HATE PROSE. Kris’s hands rose out and summoned their blade. Their eyes flickered and rumbled and reformed. Kris was the savior of the waking world and that wicked puppet. Kris was good as new. And was stronger now. The Angel shirked away seeing one of the heroes of legend at it’s peak. Susie and Ralsei were overjoyed and could not believe it. > HA HA. HEE HEE. HOO HOO. I’M NOT EVEN GOING TO HATE ANYMORE. THAT WAS COOL. Kris stood in the pristine fields where nothing is new or changes. Kris unsheathed the blade, raising it at the Angel. “NOW IS YOUR FINEST HOUR.” Ralsei and Susie rushed down the cliff as if it never existed and immediately came to Kris’s side. None of them spoke-their silence was their words. The Angel screamed at them. Kris finger guns the Angel with a smirk.

the idea of sotww being used for kris scratches my deltarune brain and my homestuck brain....... The song of someone bound by their narative fate acsending to that of a God of Freedom...

kris get up we need to banish the homestuck

Noelle Holday is DEFINETELY a troll name

THE HOLY+The Legend+Savior of the Waking World leitmotifs??? I'm gonna explode, this is all my favorites in one, it's god tier 💛

Knight of Heart: Ascend

That part at 2:16 is just amazing. Gave me goosebumps.

STOP. LET US, FOR A MOMENT, OBSERVE. THERE /IS/WAS/WILL BE/ NO WAY FOR THEM TO SURVIVE THAT BLOW. THE CALCULATIONS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT ACTIONS THEY /TAKE/HAVE TAKEN/WILL TAKE/ UP TO THIS POINT. IN EVERY POSSIBLE SCENARIO, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ADVENTURES. THERE IS NOTHING THEY /ARE/WERE/WILL BE/ ABLE TO DO. IN EVERY CASE, THE SAME RESULT DEATH. THUS, I CALLED UPON YOU. A CONFOUNDING VARIABLE. AN AGENT THAT FATE COULD NOT ACCOUNT FOR. BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU WANT A HAPPY ENDING AS MUCH AS THEY /DO/DID/WILL/ AND I KNOW THAT YOU ARE DETERMINED ENOUGH TO FIND ONE. THAT IS WHY YOU ARE HERE. NOT TO CONTROL BUT TO PROTECT. THEY ARE YOUR CHARGE. SEE TO IT THAT THEY SUCCEED AND DO WHAT I COULD NOT.

I so hope we get Homestuck tracks in Deltarune, like this

AUGH SHIT THE ANGEL'S LIGHT

OH MY GODDD it's perfect. I actually found your channel by looking for fan songs that use The Legend because I always heavily suspected that the final boss music will incorporate The Legend just like how Hopes and Dreams is Once Upon a Time. Instead I found your Penumbra Phantasm arrangement which opened my eyes to a whole different world with the connection between Penumbra Phantasm and Deltarune. I listen to that one a few times a week. But now you've made this song which really incorporates The Legend more heavily and I love it too.

>KRIS: DO THE HEARTY THING

KRIS, DO THE DETERMINATIONY THING

Theme that plays when kris get that nice sleep in a comfy rock bed

That's a really cool name for a song

Hey with Toby fox including more homestuck in his modern music (his Pokémon ost) then maybe this might happen

I really love all these fan Deltarune concept songs! I have custom idea, stringing all these concepts together. So first, we begin with the Titans. As mentioned in the description of your take on The Roaring Titans, this is where the experiment normally ends. If you play the game normally (Whether you recruit or not), there is a point in the fight where the Titans always kill you. This is the end. However, if you collected all seven shadow crystals, before the fight, Gaster says: THIS... "EXPERIMENT" . . . OF MINE USUALLY CONCLUDES HERE . HOWEVER I TRUST THAT WITH YOUR INVOLVEMENT WITH YOUR EXCELLENCE THAT WILL NO LONGER BE THE CASE . I WISH YOU THE BEST OF "LUCK", DEAR DELTA WARRIORS. And when you get to the forced death, Spritermike's "It's not over yet..." animation happens, as Kris puts the soul back together. Susie, Kris and Noelle are able to use a strong and powerful attack to defeat the Titans. The main Titan's eye continues to glow, and is revealed by Gaster, who is communicating with you and Kris, explains that it is a portal. They enter it, and they reach HEAVEN. Here, they find Ralsei, and all of the other darkners, as the remaining Lightners watch from the outside of the portal. They know that this is their last chance they have to banish the angel's heaven. This is the final dungeon, and in it, they encounter Seam, who gives Kris, Susie, and Ralsei a powerful weapon. Noelle asks for one too, but unfortunately not enough crystal is left for her. But he does give her an item that increases magic. As they travel through heaven, they encounter the vessel, whom they freed earlier (I like to imagine the vessel being the last shadow crystal boss), and the player is able to seperate themself from Kris, giving the freedom they wanted. Finally, they reach the summit, and the palace chamber. Every darkner you recruited stands behind You. It's time to banish the angel's heaven. The battle works the way one of the comments spoke of. You can't heal, but each attack deals 1 damage with half i-frames. At the end, you are scripted to be brought down to 1 HP, but the chapter bosses (including even The Knight) and the secret bosses save you. In one final push, You sacrifice what's left of YOUR POWER to reveal the Angel's true self. However, by doing this, you exert your energy and the vessel fades. Kris is killed by the angel. As Susie, Ralsei, and Noelle desperately try to wake them. It doesn't work. The SOUL shines its light. It doesn't work. Gaster delivers his words, in one final attempt. The SOUL goes to Kris. YOU go to Kris. Kris gets up, and with the SOUL in their hand, Kris and the player, along with Noelle, Ralsei, Susie, all the Darkners...and even the other lightners! Everyone you've befriended on your journey. All the friends Kris has made. Even Asriel is here, for this final battle. Then Gaster delivers one last direction, to Kris and all the others. ＡＴ ＂ＳＨＡＤＯＷ＇Ｓ ＥＤＧＥ，＂ ＳＨＡＴＴＥＲ ＴＨＥ ＴＷＩＬＩＧＨＴ ＲＥＶＥＲＩＥ｡ This is just an idea I've had based on all these songs. I know I'm not the best at writing stuff like this, but I think it gets the point across of what these songs make me imagine for the endgame of Deltarune, even if it will likely be unlike any prediction (although I'm sure the line has something to do with the ending, I don't think it'll necessarily end with what we think, since dreams can be strange and unpredictable. It'd be cool to see a fangame like this, though, with the idea of the battling with the titans, and traversing through heaven to reach the Angel's Heaven). But seriously, these songs are amazing. Keep up the amazing work.

*Kris. *Kris, can you hear me? *They are gone. *The thing that was in your soul... *It finally has its first vessel back. *A truly empty vessel with no will of their own. *It doesn't need you anymore, Kris. *But I need you. *And you need them. *I don't think you ever heard me before... *When I tried to talk to you, only it could hear. *And now that it's gone, I can talk to both of you now. *Neither of us can afford to hold on to old grudges. *If we want to SAVE this world... *All four of us will have to work together. *Your friends will help you too, but they won't be enough. *They don't have our DETERMINATION. *Whether we kill or spare these things, there's no use sealing them. *This time, we're ending this for good. *Both of you must already know one thing: *When we work together, there's absolutely nothing we can't do. *Four humans, one soul, and enough Determination to change fate itself. *It may seem impossible now, but I know you can do this. *We ALL can do this... *Partner.

Kris: Take a Legendary Nap

==> BARD OF HEART: RISE UP.

> KRIS. WAKE UP. > PLEASE. WHY DON'T YOU WAKE UP. > WHAT ARE THOSE FIREFLIES AROUND YOU? > DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU ACTUALLY... > *Ascending as Knight of Heart onto his Godtier.* > *You are right, little one.* > *Story repeats itself...once...more.*

* The Angel's Heaven has opened and the Angel descends. * Kris, you've fallen but you can get back up. * Complete your purpose and banish the Angel's Heaven and the Angel itself. * *Believe* in yourself Kris. * *Believe* in the Legend given Kris. * Your friends are all by your side. * You can do this.

New song to keep imagining history in your mind Yay🎉

normally, I'm a huge critic of undertale/deltarune fan music and rarely ever like anything i hear - but in my eyes, this is something to worth remembering for a long time. I absolutely applaud this, you smashed and went beyond with my expectations. I've said this to others before, but holy shit, this takes the cake even after all the great things I've heard. Cheers, man.

This is the song that plays when the Angel brings a forklift to the darkworld

This is so goddamn awesome and impactful

1:42 AAH

holy crap this is fire, I feel like you emulate the undertale/deltarune music style really well!

this is amazing

Always like seeing the flavor text for these in the description.

this is really amazing, damn

I have not heard a fan song that made me feel like this this is so so good.

I would have gone for a total replacement of Doctor's motif, since Penumbra Phantasm is the only one belonging to Toby(and unreleased standalone for that matter), but this is really impressive! Kudos!

This is just amazing.

actually gave me chills

I think this should be called savior of the shining light Also as the LORD of MOSS kris can finally get the GIFT OF GAB badge and be able to talk

goes hard

I do unironically hope to see some homestuck motifs in deltarune. I think Savior of the waking world is a bit too on the nose maybe, but it thematically amazing. I genuinely think Deltarune might be a pre/post-scratch Undertale. Or the equivalent, right.

Did you know this song name? It's actually composed by toby fox for homestuck And the [S] JOHN. RISE UP. Reference is a nice touch

Finally! A song that isn't some over the top boss music or another Sans or Jevil or Spamton remix. Just one amazing!

Everyone is saying knight of heart, but hear me out: page of mind

*the world is ending. Theres nothing left. And yet, the earth refused to die. Theres one thing left to save and seal. Stay determined

Fate of the world -> Penumbra Phantasm-> Savior of the waking world?

Goes hard.

KRIS. RISE UP. for context i wrote this before reading the description

Lookin' like something I'd find on an ancient Egyptian monolith.

Heh is egbert in this chapter *eyes suspiciously*

this goes unbelievably hard

Looks like "A N G L E S R E V I V A L"

The end is nye- Integrity Keep your gaurd up- Bravery Save them- Justice Push Forward- Preserverance Be Calm- Patience Be Kind- Kindness Stay Determined- you

*[But you refused.]*

i love it

HERO OF LIGHT ! THE FUTURE DEPENDS ON YOU . GET UP ! YOU MUST STAY DETERMINED .

awesome

I LOVE THIS!!! SAVIOR OF THE WAKING WORLD IS MY FAV SONG IN HS!!!!! KISSES TO YOU

Man I wish all your takes is canon. They are so well constructed!

heavenly. that's all i can say tbh.

This is sick! I especially appreciate the description, as usual. By the way, maybe i just missed it, but where was Gaster's Theme in this?

Kris the savior of the world of light

I was listening your compositions about mouth ago all time in work routine while searching somewhat like toby fox/homestuck vibes and want to say thank you for this❤, I started to learn e-music to create my own, but don't know how to make to sound like that, tell me what you using for this please

wasnt expecting to see a homestuck song remade but its pretty good

Homestuck has 7 acts.

holy fuck chapter 7 was fucking insane. It was so much more refreshing than the slog that was chapter 6. So much less dialogue bloat. Oh and the fact that Yaldabaoth killed kris in like just a few hits. then kris came back and absolutely kicked his ass while a remix of heir conditioning was also pretty crazy. Though i was expecting noelle being the final boss right after the glorified archon invasion boss rush. kinda sad that toby retired after this. tbh i dont really see him not making a game until he dies. toby fox is a legend dude. deltarune is peak fiction

THERE’S HOMESTUCK LEITMOTIFS IN HERE

krisis

When the knight strikes down Kris, but during the moment Kris, was on his quest bed, so now he’s waking up, and ascending to god tier, so he can fell the then title dropped roaring knight clad in dark, has his final battle with you, who may, or may not be Asriel, and if so you can turn him to your side with the help of godtier.

i don't think toby would be able to use this leitmotif since the composition isn't his, but it'd be amazing...

home tuc

"One day, darkness will show up in its true form from Fountain, which has been engulfed in darkness, and attack the three heroes. But their determination is stronger and stronger than anyone else's, and in the end, they will be able to purify Fountain and restore peace again. I knew it would happen...but in the end, everything went back to normal and in the end, I met several heroes over the past 3400 years, but they all failed in the end...and...it all started again with the adventures of Kris and Susis. It's like 2300. Just like an angel with strong determination years ago..."

**FILE LOADED* Kris is fine now.

Why does Kris look like they've been run over by a car.

DUDE THIS IS AMAZING WHAT THE FUCK

so pear i love surreal

(Plays before battle with GOD himself during the Earth-Breaking Death-pocalypse)

Angel: YOU FINALLY DIED HUH? I EXPECTED MORE OF YOU. Kris: (i refuse to die, even bisected and carbonized, i won't die...) *IT SEEMS YOU HAVE REACHED AN END, BUT YOU CAN'T DIE YET, I WILL REVIVE YOU. *Kris goes back to life with their soul* angel: NO, THIS CAN'T BE! IT CAN'T BE! kris: I WILL DEFEAT YOU!(but only if i have pie) (?????? Gave kris pie) Kris: thanks. Angel: NO I CAN'T DIE IN SUCH A DUMB WAY! NOOOO!!!! *Susie, ralsei and Kris aproach the angel* S: You will die. K: let the prophecy be concluded. R: AND THE WORLD SAVED. Angel: NOOOOO- *dies* S: this was... Easy... *You finally aproach the dark aurora, you feel like YOU are glowing...* *The aurora is sealed* (When the light was running low, and the shadows used to grow, and the places that YOU know, became fantasy, there was a light inside your soul, still SHINING in the cold, don't forget the promise in our hearts, don't forget i am with you in the... Light~) Play epilogue chapter? [Yes.] ❤ [No.]

😳🤯

I would call the hero virtue "hearst Knight" instead

Whats the opener? I wanna learn to play specifically that.

Obvious questbed reference.

GUYS KRIS IS FREAKING DEAD

absolutely love when deltarune USTs incorporate homestuck leimotifs

“WHAT DID I TELL YOU ALL THOSE YEARS AGO, [insert playername here]?” “NO ONE CAN CHOOSE WHO THEY ARE IN THIS WORLD.” “NOT YOU. NOT DARKNERS. NOT LIGHTNERS. NOT TITANS. NOT GONERS. NOT EVEN ME!” “YOUR. CHOICES. DON’T. MATTER.” “AND ISN’T THAT FOR GOOD?” “IF YOUR CHOICES DON’T MATTER, YOU CAN REPEAT THIS LIFE OVER AND OVER AGAIN.” “NOTHING WILL CHANGE. “DO YOU REALLY WANT TO UNLEASH THE ULTIMATE CHAOS BY BANISHING ME?” “YOU WILL BANISH YOURSELF.” “YOU WILL SET THESE CHARACTERS FREE, BUT IT WILL COST YOU YOUR PRESENCE IN THIS WORLD.” “IS FREEDOM TRULY WORTH IT?” *❤️Yes *No *… *…I expected better from you, [insert playername here] *IN THAT CASE. *I WILL HAVE TO STOP YOU BY FORCE. 9999 DAMAGE!

Martlet

Can i use the angel sprites?

oh?

i know its almost definitely a coincidence, but that looks kinda like martlet

HomeStuck reference in deltarune?

Based and Homestuck pilled

*but it refused

Sorry to interupt but kris looks like he had the family guy dead pose💀
