Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

In reality, with how fast information spreads on the internet, all the different endings would be quickly cataloged. The alleged 11th one would be mentioned, but it would soon be well-known that nobody has seen it. Which ending was best would be an interesting point of discussion.

...Assuming the books were even popular, of course.

Yeah this would work quite well before the internet became popular.

Last February, Undertale creator Toby Fox sent newsletters by e-mail with 3 random banners of Deltarune characters saying something, with various degrees of rarity. They were all collected within 2 days, including one that only appeared 1 out of 1.000.000 times. However, it should be noted that the Deltarune community is fucking crazy (in a good sense).

It would depend on how rare the rarest endings are. If there are only a handful of copies of one of the endings and the handful of people that got it don't engage with the online fan community (not everyone who reads books are online about it), those people might not even know there are different endings, let alone that they have a rare one.

Which would also negate whatever chaos the author was trying to sow.
