I always just thought the line from MK about striped shirts was a throwaway joke line or something. I didn't know people honestly thought that meant that literally only children can wear stripes in the UT universe.

I'd be more inclined to believe it as something more than a joke if it was said or referenced by more than just one character who was relatively comedic in nature to begin with. (Unless I'm forgetting something...) I always just interpreted it as Toby poking fun at his own character designs rather than it being a serious lore thing.

(Plus, I think Eve's striped sweater is cute. So I'd be a little sad if they got rid of it.)

um, its a constant across undertale and Deltarune, striped clothed are for children, BUT zs said, its too late in developement to change it and the clothes don't fit them after some time anyway so like

Rather than boring everyone with more of my bullshit I'll just offer a plausible explanation for people who hold this viewpoint.

You could always just reason that Toriel gave Eve the sweater, Hard Mode is probably non-canon if canon is even a thing here. The description mentions that the monsters are "Crazy" in this version. So maybe Toriel is a little nuts and is coping by trying to pretend Eve is a child or something for reasons, making her wear the sweater and everything. Toriel being like "Stay in character!" lol I'm probably putting more thought into this than I should but fuck it.

I still think it was meant to be a joke line that people took seriously though.

its said at the end of hardmode that its canon; well, the event in em at least

hard mode is not canon in the slightest it's a silly bonus joke scenario

oh fuck......    I thought it was.. damn.....

I mean how would Eve eat Toriel twice? lol. Unless she escaped the first time or something and just forgave Eve I guess? Personally I think Hard Mode is probably only canon so much as Eve falling into The Ruins, meeting Toriel and arriving at her house. Not so much the eating Toriel in her chair part or the two extra routes. So Hard Mode is probably only canon on a very loose level.

I think the scenario and the hard mode are complitely different though

I'm not sure you're understanding what I'm saying here. The events in Hard Mode are likely only canon in that Eve obviously had to have fallen into the Underground, met Toriel and somehow crossed the ruins to get to her house and end up in bed at the start of said scenario.

That's it. So if anything in Hard Mode is canon, then that's the only part that is and nothing else.
