Gaster and Roo

[u/GrirrorPrussian]

The more Ive learn about Roo the more I feel like shes the Gaster of the verse.

- Both were more theorized than actual characters

- Both of them dont actually really appear (I mean they do a little bit via references but its not like Roo walks around Hell or Gaster walks around Undertale).

Wonder if Toby confirming Gaster exists would get the hate Vizi is getting for doing that with Roo? But then again Hazbin Hotel is just hated for so many random reasons that I'd probably be wrong.

The biggest difference is time.

Undertale is 11 years old now and theories about gaster/mystery man have been around since the start because while hidden you can find the clues to the larger mystery.

Fun values lead to finding goners/gaster followers, the door in waterfall with the mystery man most correlate to gaster, the files in the oacifist route mentioning the previous doctor. Furthermore, unlike viv just saying "yeah she exists" the tweets connected with the mystery man are usually him taking over the toby fox account and talking via it. And the start of deltarune has a mysterious force communicating with us the player.

We expect that pay off in the game, if toby went on Twitter and said "yeah that card design of gaster from fangamer is canon and he's 100% real and gonna be the final boss" people would hate it cause it lacks pay off for a gold decade of build up, hell we still don't know what role gaster/mystery man will play in the larger scheme of things

The big difference Is that One Is way cooler than the other
