I like how the monster religion is literally just pic related.

I mean, I guess Toby didn't want to start any shit but it has a large plot presence and I'm still mildly disappointed over how wishy-washy it all is.
I wanted something esoteric dammit.

That part is lame, but the actual belief systems seems to actually be worship around the angel of a doomsday prophecy (the prophecy), even if it says it's supposed to be stopped by the heroes before the world completely ends. I don't think it's been entirely specific on how closely the full prophecy is to what the monster religion says, yet the implication, with the unchangable prophecy revealed in the dark world(s) formed in the church, is that it must be pretty damn close. Dragon blazers is then based off of Gersons retelling of it in his books, right?

Toby builds off his inspirations as does everyone. Saying Deltarune is mostly or wholly made off twin peaks? Haven't seen it myself, some more knowledgeable have poked some holes.

Spoiler: Sans

Especially with Toby's claim Deltarunes built off a crazy ending for a game that he dreamed of in 2012 I don't see it being based on more than the first couple seasons.

The original Twin Peaks subconsciously inspiring a bulk of the themes and environment? I could see that.

I believe this video goes over all of the themes of inspiration to toby fox, its a really good video for anyone who wants to look at subtext, I doubt many deltarune fans know or have seen twin peaks and understand how it fits in so this is a really good summary and helps fill in those gaps

VERY loosely, but yes. Iirc Lord of the Hammer is based loosely on the prophecy (or rather the small portion of the prophecy that hasn't been lost to time) and DB is another degree away from that.

It's kinda how the Narnia movies are based mostly on the books and the books were inspired by Christian theological canon.
