i dont know how these things will pan out but im keeping my eye on list
– noelle might be important 
– gaster doesn’t know the names of darkners
– susie and ralsei’s roles as foils to one another
– lancer is either a younger sans or is a purposeful red herring with all the callbacks both visually and aligned evidence
– king spade paralleled asgore, so the “queen” will most likely parallel toriel (whether she’s related to the king spade and lancer or not)
– roulxs+lancer relationship post-chapter 1
– how ralsei’s opinion on the duty of darkners will influence lancer
– the ralsei plushie theory + confirmation
– ralsei as someone who was ‘born for this purpose’ and the mysteries surrounding both his personhood and similarities to asriel
– seam’s talk about a time that was previously more chaotic than this but that we don’t need to know about
– the recurrent theme of purpose being related to others (themes of codependency?). (ex. king spade’s purpose being directed at his knight, ralsei’s at susie and kris, seam talking about how his life would have more purpose with jevil)
– how the strong themes of a christian approximate might be related to ralsei and his own preaching. you can’t be happy without serving the lord / you can’t be happy without serving darkners
– recurrent theme of blood. ‘the skin and the blood’ of the doughnut, lancer’s bucket of blood, darkners seeming to have blood whereas monsters don’t, church juice being symbolic of blood, ‘does it hurt to be made of blood?’ (monsters still clearly don’t have blood in this world and it’s emphasized)
– don’t forget, and the mystery of the ‘big three’
– kris’ combined traits from both frisk and chara that make them seem to not be quite either. the mysterious absence of other humans in the world.
– the mysterious event that split apart the dreemurr family in this world
– assumption here seems to be that the monsters never went underground, but i wonder if the war was won much earlier. events were set in motion that made gerson die earlier (won at the cost of certain people?)

aang is one of those characters who is legit very mature and accommodating and understanding and really kind of has to be Good for other characters in the show a lot, but fandom absolutely lambastes him for perceived flaws in a way that is very disproportionate. people are just unfair to him.
