How Is It That You Can Make Krerdly Soo Cute And Skrunkly?

It Hurts Me And Makes Me Feel Things Inside

Oh, hello!

I'm happy to hear you like my Krerdly stuff :)

To answer your question, there's a lot going into it, I think.

First off is my love for Berdly.

I've met a lot of people who are similar to Berdly, so a lot of my work borrows from my experiences with them, or is outright directly based on those experiences. I also relate to Berdly myself, which should be obvious from the long essays I write about him.

Second off is that I appreciate how he's written, which ties into the first point. It's one thing to like a character in general, it's another to like BOTH the character and the writing for them. You can like a character who wasn't written well or to their full potential so long as you recognize that they could have been handled better (and this can allow you to make your own work addressing that!)

Ik we say it often in the utdr community (like every day) but Toby Fox is an amazing writer, and his talent shines through his characters in particular. Berdly is particularly outstanding in my opinion. It can never be said enough that Toby is incredibly talented and I just wanted to say that again here, I am infinitely jealous of everything he makes because I worry that I will never live up to it myself. (WRITING IS HARD)

What stands out to me the most about Berdly is not only his shocking amount of complexity, but also how he is written to be a lonely, not particularly likeable person who has a good heart nonetheless. He truly loves his friends. He's shown to be innocent, naiive, surprisingly kind, brave and headstrong, all alongside having a big ego and superiority complex. His personality isn't conventionally likeable or endearing, but if you take the time to know and understand him, you'll realize that by judging him and thinking of him as cruelly as many of the fans of the game did, you missed out on a truly wonderful character.

And this, I think is the point of why he's written the way he is. I swear Toby intends for you NOT to like Berdly, but this is because you don't understand him. That's why you're allowed to kill him. Toby's work has always been about themes like empathy and forgiveness and love so in writing a character in this way, he tests your empathy.

Berdly's a very real character. While many people like him in real life aren't as great as he is, we all have met or are going to meet someone like Berdly at some point in our lives. Hell, we might even BE the Berdly in our own lives ourselves.

He's a character that struck a strong chord with me on my first proper playthrough of the game. I felt a strong feeling of empathy for him and at the end of chapter 2, I was very mad at Toby for not letting me give him a hug.

Also he's fucking adorable and nobody talks about how cute he is! He's such a sweet, innocent little character... it would sure suck if anything bad ever happened to him...

OK I SHOULD SHUT UP ABOUT HIM NOW AND MOVE ON TO WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT BECAUSE IF I KEEP GOING I WONT STOP LMAO

Obviously the most important thing to making Krerdly content is dynamic between Kris and Berdly, or how I read it per my reading of Berdly.

Kris and Berdly have a classic dynamic that is perfect shipping fuel: a rivalry. But theirs is special.

Throughout the game and side material, it is strongly implied that Kris might actually really enjoy Berdly's company, and Berdly says and does a lot of things throughout the game (such as lowering the library fee) that indicate that he may view Kris as a friend. How close are they however? He definitely doesn't dislike them, but has a weird view on them; it seems he worries they might be his superior and because he holds his good grades above them, brags about them constantly. He tries to push them (and Susie) away and focus on working with Noelle at school because he thinks their presence will drag him down and possibly damage his reputation as the smart kid and his grades, and it's possible buried under this is a fear that they might actually outclass him somehow.

The reading of Kris that benefits this ship the most is that Kris loves Berdly for who he really is, and not for who he pretends to be. That, paired with their mischievous, teasing personality makes them a great potential partner for Berdly, whose personality of caring too much about what others think provides such a contrast between them that makes them a truly, truly precious couple.

What I've always loved about the content for them is how sincere it is. This is a cringey gamer couple. They are happy together and they love and accept each other for who they are. It's not often you find things like that IRL and when you do, you know you're lucky, so giving that to Berdly, who I think deserves it, is just nice and makes me happy.

I also like to imagine that a relationship can help Berdly better understand what love really is and what he really wants from a relationship. There's a lot to explore with Kris and Berdly as a couple that I find really interesting.

Anyway I can go on about them all day. I'm not even sure I answered your question bc I started rambling but hopefully you got something out of this.

Thanks for sending this ask. You really made my day!

tempted to deactivate but I won't. I want people to know when my comic's out and this is the only platform I've got a following on (and also the only platform I AM on), also where else am I gonna post it? That being said I'm going to try to limit how often I log on for the time being so I can focus on life. Just not really a big fan of this whole social media thing, even on a website as quaint in comparison to the others as this one!

That means I'm probably going to be posting a lot less, too. If I finish a drawing and am like, hey, maybe people could see this, then sure, I'll post it, whatever. Same with if I get an essay idea or something I want people to see. I'm just reducing how active I am but that doesn't necessarily mean I won't be on at all. I'm also probably not going to be looking at anyone else's posts that much, either, sorry :/ I want to focus on other things right now so I'm not going to be online as often. It's not that I'm leaving; just that I'm focusing on other things.

just finished watching moral Orel can’t wait to see influence from that seep its way into my writing after I get over the initial obsession phase where all I do is copy it because I have not an original thought in my little pea brain.

Anyway it is a good show and you should watch it. Def check the content warnings first tho it’s very adult. Cancelled like halfway thru the best and final season sadly but it’s okay because I’m happy I got to see it at all not ok tho when you really look at it like adult swim wtf bro you cancel this and not some poopy other show that smells bad :( and more importantly deserves it lol

this is my full arc with Berdly (so far)

High school. Late or middle high school I don't know; my perception of time is fucked. Deltarune chapter 2 just came out and it's all the rage and I want to get the fuck away from it because it's all anyone fucking talks about and I could care less about it (I hate things that get popular). I played Deltarune chapter 1 and part of chapter 2 around this time to see what the buzz was about. I found chapter 1 to be pretty mediocre, and didn't really get the story. Chapter 2 didn't interest me and I thought it was kind of dumb.

my dumb ginger friend loves this stupid game and he won't shut up about this stupid Berdly character who like, wants people to like him for his intelligence and you can kill him in the game or something and if you type his name into google images and scroll down a little bit a really gross piece of uhh we'll just say typical furry art shows up and it made me feel really sick to my stomach. I still stole the idea for wanting to be liked for being smart and stowed it away in my brain so I could rip it off later because I have not a creative bone in my body.

I sort of forget about Deltarune for a while and harbor nothing but pretty negative feelings about it probably because my stupid ginger friend likes it and I feel zero respect for him or really any of the target audience of Deltarune and having somewhat of a "ding dong your opinion is wrong and mine is right because I said so" complex because I want to look better than everyone else because deep down I know I'm probably worse than everyone including the people I see as less than me because I hate myself a lot yay self esteem issues yipeee being a teenager rules!

I end up maturing a little as I become more of an adult, and become less of a jackass. Still have little remnants of the jackassness in me but I'm not a full on one anymore and I sort of like get how things work now and like.... I'm lss of a jerk than ur average person ok. Because of this, I end up deciding to give Deltarune another chance.

I start with chapter 2's snowgrave route since it sounds the most interesting to me. I kind of like Berdly and find him cute.

I kill him.

feel kind of bad

Go back and play chapter 1 and then the normal route of chapter 2.

wait a minute.

i really like Berdly.

he's really cute. and funny and like.

fucking shit he's kind of relatable

You know what I'm giving him the present; I'd feel awful if I gave it to anyone else

Awww! He's so happy!

Aww poor Berdly his backstory is kind of sad. I can't believe this game lets you kill him. Man and everyone else is so mean to him. Queen doesn't care about him, Susie's taunting him for how he's acting which, yeah, ok, he's annoying, but does he really deserve that? fucking bitch-

Berdly breaks his fucking arm.

Fuck.

Start the entirity of chapter 2 over again using my chapter 1 data and try to prevent Berdly from breaking his arm.

Successfully prevent Berdly from breaking his arm. We are bffs now. Yippee!

Begin to look at fan content.

Wow this art shipping him with Kris is so fucking cringe. Shit sucks.

Wow this art shipping him with Kris is kind of charming. Shit doesn't suck?

Wow I'm drawing it.

Wow I wrote seventy something pages of fanfiction that were inspired by how much I like Berdly as a character and am dedicating several months of my life possibly years to refining this script, storyboarding it and turning it into an actual comic that won't suck balls.

Kill me
