r/Tralsei

EDIT: Okay i somehow didnt catch that the image said "Berdly" and not Ralsei. BUT there's still dialogue (that i show in the comments) where Seth genuinely DID get called that. Mb

Interesting how the character questioning their gender gets multiple comparisons to Ralsei.... hmm.......

I wish more people could apply "Toby knows what he's doing theory" when looking at the Tralsei theory, genuinely.

You don't just compare the character questioning what gender they are... to a character who already has so many trans comparisons.... WITHOUT at least having some trans readings be on your mind, when you decide to finalize this like Toby did.

Furthermore, it's pretty interesting how: as the chapters go on, Ralsei's "Dark _" titles start to get progressively less masculine as Ralsei grows more and more.

"Dark Prince"

then it's "Dark Hero" (which her role of the "hero" is still associated with the "Prince" role, to an extent)

Then we finally have "Dark Vine"
A title referring to Ralsei with they/them pronouns of all things, and a title associated with Ralsei's growth, that's been the least masculine-gendered "End of Chapter" title for Ralsei thus far.

So it's very, very interesting, how a title associated with growth for Ralsei, starts to use they/them pronouns for Ralsei out of all things.

And then this moment of growth where Ralsei is questioning who he is... in the most gender focused chapter thus far..... and she gets compared to Seth....... in the same chapter.......

All in all, if i didn't want my audience to think that a character was trans, i wouldn't compare them multiple times to a character literally questioning their gender

Even if you don't believe Ralsei is trans, he would still accept playing the role of a princess (he even gets excited being able to). In other words, he would not mind being referred to as "she", as a princess. He would actually like it if you did, as you can see..

So I don't understand why people think it's rude to use feminine pronouns for him when he literally asks for your permission to be your princess! I'm advocating for people to be able to use those pronouns for him since, you know, he would be happier if you did?

[Uhh my previous post got taken down because the title was misleading, sorry mods.]

I wanted to post this on the main subreddit but gang, I don't feel safe posting this there. The mods there might take it down for even bringing it up.

I think the fandom is due for a stricter deltarune subreddit...or rather a more queer friendly one.

^(I think maybe I can transform mine into that.)

She needs sleepings

Something very interesting I’ve noticed about ralsei is that she seems to get more pink the more she opens up. Whether this is galsei evidence or not I leave up to you, but it does connect to that in some way.

When we first meet her, she’s in a blue cloak. As we see by the prophecy, this is pretty much as restrictive and closed off ralsei can get. And would you look at that? No pink to be seen.

Then of course we get the hatted version of her. We first see her scarf here (the game likes to say it’s red sometimes but for the sake of this let’s just say it’s pink). Although it’s interesting that this specific pink part of ralsei is used as a weapon. Maybe it shows that Ralsei sees this more open version of herself as dangerous? I’m probably reading too far into that one.

After that, we see her without her hat, with her very noticeable pink horns and cheeks. And the lighting on her body also becomes pink. This is mostly the ralsei we see across the game, and whilst it’s still not her most prominent color, it still shows she’s willing to be more open.

On the opposite end, the butler outfit, which forces Ralsei into a helper position, turns the large scarf into a small bowtie. Therefore, removing more pink from her design.

In both chapter 2 and 5, we can see Ralsei without her glasses. Where not only are her eyes pink, but she very clearly has makeup on, which is, you guessed it, pink. And in chapter 5, we can see that this make up is still something she’s embarrassed about wearing, but obviously still WANTS to put on (otherwise she just wouldn’t have done it lmao).

And finally, we have the princess dress, which is mostly pink. Ralsei very clearly likes wearing it, it’s probably the happiest she is in the whole game. However, we can still see a bit of green with her glasses, and in the cutscene, we see she still hasn’t accepted that this is what she actually wants. Soooo, quick theory, maybe the final form we see ralsei in will be the dress without the glasses. That would be cool.

We all know gendering colours is stupid, but fact is that pink is seen as a more feminine colour, so it’s very very interesting that it seems to represent a more open version of ralsei

Inspired by the Queen stuff popping up from Toby Fox's social media

Every time Flowery is talking to Susie he calls her 'princess' uncapitalized, but when he's talking to Ralsei he says 'Princess' capitalized.

I feel like this implies that when he calls Ralsei 'Princess' he's meant to be calling Ralsei personally a princess, while for Susie it's more of a random thing.

I don't know if this is something everyone knows already, but I haven't seen many people mention this before, so I thought I should share!

edit: checked again and it's not consistent at all! The only time Princess is used for Ralsei is in the drink voucher scene.

I'm starting to wonder if maybe Toby WANTS us to make a connection between Ralsei and starwalker, and this makes me realize that there are honestly more connections than people may initially think?

Something that's important to realize about Starwalker is the fact that he-- in all senses-- is just himself. He usually mentions being the "original Starwalker." He's a character who's confident in his own identity. He also ends up being in a polycule with Lanina and Elnino, which already ends up making him more related to queer stuff as well. (More so in general, but still queer related and indirectly shown that he's accepting).

Something interesting about Starwalker interrupting the Ralsei Princess dress scene, is the fact that Starwalker still lets Ralsei be in the dress. He takes the role of one of the "darlings" at the top of the climb, but him being here also does not give you the option to decide if Ralsei gets to be a princess or not. Ralsei already gets to be a princess, and they're pretty happy!

Then we have the Tropical Starwalker, who literally has the colors of the trans flag. (blue, pink, and white eyes). I find it extremely important to note them here, SPECIFICALLY because of their color scheme.

Not only does Ralsei get some association with Starwalker, a character who's already confident in their identity, but we also have a scene where Ralsei is encouraged to be more confident in who they are/what they want, and pick for themselves without worrying about others, the same scene where they get called a "Princess" with a capital "P", (which already references a previous princess scene that starwalker just so happens to be in), and a Blue and Pink drink is the one that Ralsei picks?? Especially when we already have a starwalker with this exact Blue and Pink color scheme????

Starwalker (especially if you buy into the "star sticker in the light world" theory), is essentially like a symbol of self-confidence. He IS the original starwalker, and nobody and no thing can take that away from him. He IS himself, and I find it to be pretty cool how Ralsei essentially gets associated with Starwalker, in a scene where Ralsei gets to be a princess, and even possibly a scene where Ralsei gets called a "Princess," and chooses a very trans-colored drink for themselves and nobody else.

Bonus: Starwalker gets put into a princess and/or darling role during the climbing minigame. Pretty cool. Not really important to this piece of evidence, I don't think, but it IS nice to note.
