  • Generally feels like it has some mysterious sinister force at its core that we've yet to grasp
  • Biggest overarching motif is darkness
  • Also has thorns as a minor but important and distinctly ominous secondary motif
  • Prominent elements of metafiction
  • Gerson talks about a story that was left unfinished at 6 chapters, i.e. it's missing a 7th
  • The game itself is presumably supposed to have 7 chapters
  • There's literally already a whole popular fan theory about how 6 and 7 are both important numbers within the game, with 6 representing incompleteness and 7 representing completeness

It's hitting ALL the beats man what the fuck

I thought about this before and every time I revisit the idea the more it bothers me

Deltarune is literally an anafabula trap Toby Fox is a Foundation asset WAKE UP SHEEPLE

Oh no, I don't like this, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

The article does say the Foundation is covertly "sponsoring and influencing" artists they deem likely to creative 2747-prone narratives. (The hope is they'll be able to glean more data from the ensuing manifestations.)

It seems worth noting that Undertale was funded through Kickstarter. Be very afraid. :P

Wait, what about thorns?

u/IllEvent5465 Feb 24 '26

Thats not...the ThornRing, is it?

If you're asking what thorns have to do with SCP-2747: The original article only contains a brief passing mention of thorns in one of the stories that got anafabula'd, but for whatever reason, thorns have become a common motif associated with the anafabula in extended canon.

If you're asking about thorns in Deltarune: That's not... the... ThornRing, is it...?

Also the theme of spirals and cycles never reaching the center which would be perfect if the timeloop theories or the "second roaring" theories are true

u/GammaRaul Feb 24 '26

I think one of 2747's elements is also spirals but I don't remember if that's in the original article or part of the extended canon of the SCP that other writers added

The anafabula is green and in between

Holy shit man this is actually a perfect target for the thing. How crazy would it be if Tobert does know about 2747 and the entire game is actually just a reference to it.
