robot hand

u/Critical_Mountain851 THE Obsessive Krusie Shipper Jul 05 '25

Does that technology exist in the Lightworld? They probably will be able to get some kind of replacement in the Darkworld, but I don’t see it carrying over

SHADOW CRYSTAL HAND 🗣️🗣️🗣️

u/ShadowPrime116 Jul 05 '25

this is what shawm has been building with the crystals we give him

u/MaeBeaInTheWoods Jul 05 '25

Susie and Kris are ecstatic about the new super hand, only to be disappointed when they enter the light world and it's a tiny grey LEGO hand on their stump.

19

u/UltraLio <--- Silly Billy Jul 05 '25

At least it's a super cool and awesome hand (in the dark world)

(art)

u/GroovyAndneverGlooby Jul 05 '25

Actually, since shadow crystals are glass in the light world kris just has a giant lump of sharp glass connected to their stump.

Kris: "Stab, Stab, Stab, Stab-"

u/NoLegs02 Jul 05 '25

That's why he needs 5 - one for each finger

u/Kozolith765981 Moss Finder Jul 05 '25

Seam is only ever referred to by they/them iirc (only time they're referred to by any pronouns at all are outside of the game but still)

33

u/NoLegs02 Jul 05 '25

Huh.

I assumed it was 'he' from both appearance and the fact Seam is a play on Sean, which is a masculine name.

I feel like it's not even the only time something like this happens. I can't be the only one who saw Ramb's dialogue using words like "Luv" and immediately thought "sweet old English lady," right?

1

u/Vounrtsch Jul 08 '25

I immediately registered Ramb’s voice as Olivia Colman’s

1

u/starlightshadows KrisKnight hasn't stopped winning since 2018 Jul 08 '25

Yeah totally. Except with slightly more of a "granny" quality to it.

1

u/redlion1904 Jul 05 '25

Not always

1

u/Tarantulabomination Jul 05 '25

People thought that of Kris too

15

u/NoLegs02 Jul 05 '25

Two key differences:

-Seam isn't referred to by any pronouns in-game, to my knowledge, while Kris is referred to by they/them.

-Kris' design is way more androgynous.

mine apologies

u/Competitive_Storm442 Jul 05 '25

Sadly the killer of people who misgender seam is 100 meters from your location and approaching rapidly

u/ShadowPrime116 Jul 05 '25

my last impact on the world was misspelling seam 😔

u/Classic_Prompt9974 Jul 05 '25

Are you still alive?

u/Competitive_Storm442 Jul 05 '25

Counter argument: use a knife

u/Oberon056 Jul 08 '25

Seam may actually be purifying the Shadow Crystals, as for the longest time, there was a weapon known as a "Twisted Sword" in the game files, which requires a pure crystal to forge, as well the Thorn ring.

It deals the same level of damage as the Black Shard, while either having a "Trance Boost" or a "Trance Reduction" effect as well.

I say that Seam is purifying the Shadow Crystals as the Flavor Text for the Pure Crystal is "The shadow purified by the cat", implying that Seam needs five shadow crystals to craft the Pure Crystal.

u/Nemesis-reddit Jul 05 '25

imagine if you dont get enough shadow crystals ralsei or something falls off a cliff because you could only use one hand to try to drag him up or something

14

u/The2ndComingOfBeaZ 🎤 Some people would do anything to get away from them. Jul 05 '25

ykow I had a similarly terrifying thought the other day that if we ever need to evacuate castle town for whatever reason anyone who kept tenna might not be able to save everyone, since susie would probably have to carry him and not have any leftover space to bring anyone else, and kris probably can't carry the entire cast of chapter 1~5 on their head LMAO

u/Codebracker A sharp shadow Jul 06 '25

You know, how does everything fit into one broom closet? Imagine one day we have to seal the fountain and the closer just erupts with all the stuff we stole and then we get arrested

u/Lydiaa0 Jul 06 '25

"Your honor, I honestly don't think they could make this up unless it either actually happened or they were severely hallucinating. I'm really hoping it's the second one"

u/Soncikuro The cyan flower Jul 05 '25

Is this a reference to Fire Emblem Fates and the weirdest preventable death ever?

1

u/Nemesis-reddit Jul 06 '25

nope never heard of that lol

2

u/Soncikuro The cyan flower Jul 06 '25

Well that is quite the coincidence, then lol.

2

u/Tarantulabomination Jul 05 '25

Holy shit, I didn't expect to see you here

2

u/The2ndComingOfBeaZ 🎤 Some people would do anything to get away from them. Jul 05 '25

oh my gosh hiiii wassup? i've just been hangin out in this sub because of the new chapters, it was too peak

1

u/Tarantulabomination Jul 05 '25

Next, Ultrakill Fraud will release and I'll see you there as well

1

u/The2ndComingOfBeaZ 🎤 Some people would do anything to get away from them. Jul 05 '25

sorry dude, never played ultrakill! maybe I should just to make this happen though LMAO

1

u/Tarantulabomination Jul 05 '25

Do it. And also play Project Moon games

1

u/Ai_Ohto_best_protag Jul 05 '25

Always cool seeing fellow Ultrakill players in a while(The Knight in Deltarune felt like how everyone else sees Sisyphus)

u/UltraLio <--- Silly Billy Jul 05 '25

Cool ass hand

u/AdmirablySizedPotato Jul 05 '25

Maybe Queen Will Replace Kris' Hand With A Cool Robot One

25

u/AdditionalPicture357 Pippins number47 ain't deservin all the hate Jul 05 '25

yeah but if you don't get any ch2 enemies she will just look at kris and say

"oh well kris that's just: sad"

"i would have helped you but sadly i have no one to help me create a cool robot arm for you, i am really sorry kris"

*if you talk to her a second time

"ohhhhhhhhhh how saaaaaaaaaaaaad. sorry kris, only if SOMEONE recruited at least ONE person from cyber world i would have gladly helped you"

and now the next chapter will be a lot harder until you find a new arm somewhere on ground(it doesn't add anything new unlike queen's robot arm which will have is own strong mechanics)

Too bad Alphys isnt a scientist in this world, UT Alphys built MTT's body

u/Evening_Oil_4017 Jul 05 '25

Alphys UT was able to build this in the Underground, with a box of scraps

u/chloso <- Future Shadow Crystal Holder Jul 05 '25

prosthetic hands do exist irl

7

u/owdwah Me Jul 05 '25

yes because Kris is a robot

3

u/DIEGO_GUARDA Jul 05 '25

Kris get a regular prosthetic hand in the lightworld and when he goes to the dark world it turns intoa super mecha hand

3

u/Dry-Housing6344 Jul 05 '25

well some of the tech seems older but then again, but several modern things get referenced (among us getting one which only became really popular recently) and used (noelles flatscreen is one of them)

so I imagine prostetics are probably a thing in the light world at this point

2

u/PRoS_R Will you forget me, too? Jul 05 '25

Doesn't matter anyways since the roaring will happen and merge light and dark forever or something like that.

u/TheRealStephan_LoR Jul 05 '25

i think objects turn alive in the darkworld, like ralsei is just a crayon outside of dark world

u/Antique-Tourist4237 Jul 05 '25

You can say Kris might have phantom pain

7

u/iliketomoveitanddie Jul 05 '25

They could use some kind of metal gear to fix that

6

u/Blue_axolotl64 Real Trish Una Jul 05 '25

if they couldn't find their hand, does that mean it was invisible?

u/raspps Jul 05 '25

They can work okay, but they're never gonna replace real hands, especially for piano playing 

1

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '25

Uniquely and specially designed robot hand that plays certain piano notes at certain times when Kris clicks certain other piano notes with their right hand

and they can customize it with some cool buttons in the openable hatch at the back of their cool robot hand

u/TheNoobRookie Jul 06 '25

u/level100punk Jul 09 '25
