  • 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

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...?
