Hi, I spend a lot of time thinking about stuff that probably doesn't matter. I also made a thing about another thing that does a third distinct thing: undertale.jadenthejaded.uk

Wasn't expecting to come back to it so soon, but it looks like we have a Korean translation as well now! Huge thanks to @newhajinyoon.bsky.social for the work done.

Hello everyone! As a final update to the Extractor for a while, I worked with some amazing people to get it working in both Italian and Japanese! KnuckleBuckle and Jack Lemon from the Undertale Spaghetti Project team, and Hazama all did their best to keep my original vision. Huge thanks to them!

Happy 11th anniversary, UNDERTALE! Honestly, thinking about how much time has passed and how this game impacted my life, I can't help but feel nostalgic. I still get goosebumps whenever I listen to UNDERTALE or Hopes and Dreams. It'll always hold a special place in my heart.

I hope you guys are aware that I get notified every time one of you goes through my profile and likes specifically that one repost of Pink's ass. I know who you are, each and every one of you.

I'll also add that I somehow managed to build this thing while off antidepressants, which I didn't expect I'd manage. Only issue is that now that it's done the sole act of waiting to see if people like it or not is enough to make me unable to move. This is a cry for help.

Hello Lightnerds! As promised, I managed to get everything ready just in time. unwrittenprophecy.com is live! It's a place for everyone to share their predictions about chapters 6 and 7, and to vote what you think will come true! In all honesty, this project already cost me a bunch of money (1/3)

Almost everything is already explained on the page itself, but I'll try to respond to everyone's questions if you have any. One thing I'll say is, this is packed with even more secrets than the Extractor and, assuming all goes well and I can keep this running, there's many things I'd like to add.

so, while I'd usually rather avoid plugging this early, please consider donating (kofi in pinned post) if you'd like to help in making sure the site can keep running - I can't promise I'd be able to by myself. The project itself was almost entirely inspired by the Chapter 5 Newsletter. (2/3)

Hello everynyan. Haven't posted any updates in a while so I felt like elaborating on what I'm currently doing. Thanks to the support of ko-fi and the resounding success that was the Extractor, I decided to build something a bit more ambitious for the Deltarune community.

I'm not sure how many people will be interested, but as someone who really loves sharing theories and predictions about the game, I thought at least a few people would enjoy my idea. Doing my best to ship this by the end of the month, so feel free to yell at me if I'm late.

Happy birthday to those born on the 17th of August. Looking up "Jaden's Souls Virtues Extractor" on Google shows lots of people sharing their results from my page, but still brings up one of the clones first. They had a section talking about "inspiration" taken from me, now they removed that too.

I'm probably going to give up trying to fight that, I tried all that I could come up with, and honestly I'm tired, I've got a headache, and I think I should direct my efforts towards getting TLs ready, and working on the next project.

Reposting this because I came across the Instagram sticker thing or whatever about the test, and lots of kids are sharing this one specifically. Not sure how to combat this. In hindsight I should've bought that domain as soon as the thing blew up.

Jaden@jadenthejaded.uk

I just found this because I've been told the page has been indexed on Google, please let it be known that I have no idea who made this. Spread the word or something, idfk.

I realized I still hadn't retaken my own test after all the updates, so here's my results. I rate it 3/10, I am clearly much more Flowery than this stupid thing rated me as.

You all really cared about this for some reason, so go find it, champs! Also implemented Ball Game to settle the debate once and for all, and made Flowery's secret work on the results page.

Chit-chat time! We broke 850.000 unique visitors! I would've talked about this earlier but I was looking at data from the past 24 hours, so I thought it was stable at 500.000 or so lol. Thank you so much to everyone! I did not expect such a response when I made this. I admit I am a bit overwhelmed.

Hello everyone! It's been about 2 days since the test came out and, somehow, it's still going strong. I just deployed what I hope can be the final update until the introduction of translated material, which hopefully won't disrupt your saves. I added the SOULS browser! You can now check... (1/3)

Looks like the Kindness pass was successful - I've been seeing a lot more varied results and interesting percentages and combinations. Most people seem happy with what they got, but I've been seeing a bunch of discontent towards Patient. I'm not sure how to tackle it yet, but I'm working on it.

Hey guys! Due to the trend of "what's your undertale soul color" reels I've seen recently, I decided to make something hopefully more accurate and fun than the other tests out there. I wanted it to be very Undertale themed and to have a bunch of Easter eggs. Try it at undertale.jadenthejaded.uk!

what every SOUL and its pairs mean, according to me. Furthermore, a bunch of questions changed: as many have pointed out, in especially useful comments such as "I made a BlueSky account just to tell you Kindness is too common" which helped a lot in pointing out why that was the case, the... (2/3)

Green Soul had been appearing too often. I made a pass intended at making Kindness' flaws more evident and less attractive, while also fixing a few more spelling errors along the way. No, I didn't change statement 50, "is is" is entirely correct in that context. Again, thanks for watching my dream

I feel filthy even doing this honestly but in fairness not many people are going to check my profile...

Hey guys, I've gotten a few messages suggesting I open a Ko-fi now since the thing is popular so I did. Full disclosure, I don't know what to do next yet, so if you decide to donate I can't offer certainties. It will contribute to upkeeping the undertale soul test, though. ko-fi.com/jadenthejaded

So, about the math behind the scenes. The test doesn't really care about the total points a specific virtue has available for it, getting 7.5 points out of 10 or 15 out of 20 still nets you a 75% result. I did try to keep them close, still, but that's to have a reasonable amount of chances (1/3)

haloopdy@haloopdy.bsky.social

i was wondering about that. i did see a LOT of kindness results too. do all the souls have the same amount of total points? do all the souls spread evenly across the questions, like are more questions giving points for kindness even if they're all low, etc?

for people to "redeem" themselves towards each virtue. The big issue, which I think is both pushing Kindness and hampering Determination, is probably that Kindness is naturally flattering. Most people will say they like helping their friends, and not a lot will admit to DET's shortcomings. (2/3)

Sadly, I haven't been able to figure out how to frame a reasonable amount of selfishness in a way that convinces people that agreeing to it doesn't automatically make you a bad person.

Water, sunlight and strong dreams. Stay hydrated and touch grass.

please help how do i raise my floweryness score urgent i am critically flowery deficient help bsky.app/profile/stri...

Just so you guys know I had to look up where "green for an amazing reason" came from because I had no clue where it came from and half of the Kindness results had that in the post. I am just as confused as before.

I state as much on the page itself but it's worth repeating: I have access to exactly nothing you do when taking the test, and that will never change. Submitting your answers to the e-mail is voluntary and only serves the purpose of making the whole thing better.

Zeikier@zeikier.bsky.social

I acknowledge the possibility of this being a short-term fun thing that'll give way to heinous data harvesting and funding something terrible lmao

I have been asked by my parents why I don't run ads on the page since it's been getting so many visits, and my stance is and always will be: this is a passion project, it's about me and my relationship with UNDERTALE and DELTARUNE more than anything else. Worst case scenario ko-fi for future projs.

Something about the PAT-BRV pair. I tried real hard to figure out how these two could compliment or worsen each other, but I got nothing, which means this pairing got a nothing-much description. Suggestions are welcome, I would like to do something about this, I saw two people get it already.

This post is unavailable.

Wanted to talk about this too, but I forgot to do it earlier. Also probably last post for a while, I'm a bit overwhelmed. Long story short: Yes. I am of the opinion that "HOPE" and "LOVE" are much more interesting readings on the red SOUL, but for the purposes of this quiz I chose to go with (1/2)

Ballin' Rayman@ballrayman.bsky.social

Quick Question: Are you aware that the red SOUL is most likely not Determination? According to many pieces of dialogue in-game, Determination is actually a golden substance, not a SOUL trait. A phone call in Hotland implies that the red SOUL trait is Love/LOVE. (Not trying to sound rude)

the most common interpretation, whether I agreed with it or not, because it felt like the easiest way to avoid the inevitable discussions that would have arose otherwise. Still, the entirety of the test is basically just me rambling, even if I tried to be accurate about things.

Since I figured I might change the way some statements are worded, or even remove questions altogether (for example, I flipped the framing of one in this update) I simply run the hash of the stored questions on your end against the page's. TL;DR: The save file has to be reset if updating questions.

Ignatius@lavabrand.bsky.social

so will our results be changed on the page or do we need to redo the quiz?

This is also why I hope I don't have to do many updates to the questions file. Partly because I can't expect people to retake a 66 questions test every time I update, partly because I like that everyone can bring up their results simply by going on the page again, and having it reset is a bummer.

Small update. I fixed a bunch of spelling mistakes that were brought to my attention, and also tried to combat the trending towards Kindness a bit. My take so far is that some statements are easily flattering and difficult to disagree with. Shouldn't change most people's results though.

Jaden@jadenthejaded.uk

Onto some issues. I'm seeing a LOT of Kindness results being posted. This can be fine if it's a matter of demographic (hard to say) but I'm not going to exclude the idea that I might have to turn some knobs and gears. Finally, the feedback e-mail was not working, my bad entirely. Fixed now.

Of course I porked it immensely. Fixed now. This is what I get for deploying manually to Cloudflare Pages instead of doing things properly.

Hello once again! First of all, thanks to everyone for taking the time to take my test and posting their results all over so many socials. Now, onto some numbers: the page has already broken 150.000 visitors, and we're on the way to 200.000. I really didn't expect it to become so popular overnight.
