I would love to see more art process vids somewhere (like your youtube maybe…?) starting from the rough sketch! I want to see how you plan out more complex poses with multiple characters. Do you stream anywhere?

i dont really stream anywhere (only privately to friends on discord occasionally) but i do have a youtube channel! i uploaded a kris speedpaint last week or so and unfortunately i didnt record the actual sketch phase (because its usually after only coming up with a good sketch that i get the motivation to record LOL.) i dont really think speedpaints are as big of a thing anymore but i always liked making them.

alternatively, i also have this that i saved a little while ago because i forgot clip studio itself can record speedpaints. i almost always keep the option off though because it will inflate all of my file sizes lol

i did this in like 30 minutes max btw. drawing noelle is just what i do now

i dont personally ship kriselle because i dont really think abt deltarune ships much but i love reading your impassioned essays on the topic. hell yeah. you Understand them in very good and interesting ways and i love reading that character analysis and your thoughts on it despite not really being a shipper myself

thanks!! im still surprised people are actually interested in hearing what i have to say about them.... my brain and my heart work in conjunction picking them apart... even if my heart puts them in some kind of romantic setting, my brain is playing 4D chess overanalyzing every single thing that they do and say.... as is the way of a shipper whose pairing is not the main/most popular one

also, ill be turning off anon asks for the foreseeable future… i left them on for so long because i know some (well-meaning) people are just more comfortable remaining anonymous, but with the huge uptick in asks comes more and more unkind messages that i dont want to deal with LMAO. so it was fun while it lasted but sorgy

After reading the Noelle kissing Kris manga, I just had to talk about the tearjerking and heart-warming moments about it all.

I found it adorable yet also pretty telling that it took Noelle several attempts to get the kiss right with Susie with all the preparations, and the environment being perfectly set up for them to do it, but she nailed it perfectly on her first attempt to kiss Kris in that moment, with no prior build up. I also liked what compelled Noelle to kiss Kris, was them expressing their happiness for Noelle and Susie, while also seemingly intentionally excluding themselves from the equation altogether. Which leads me to talk about tearjerking moments.

When I read it all, from the look on Kris's face, it really did feel like they were genuinely trying to exclude themselves from Noelle and Susie's happiness, while trying to do everything they could to ensure they were both happy. It's like they had a face where they were genuinely happy for Noelle and Susie, talking about how great a pair they were, but also putting up a front to hide the pain of thinking, they'd be better of if they weren't part of the dynamic, which I think Noelle pick up on.

When I look at Noelle kissing Kris I think of it as a twofold kind of thing. Noelle says she was just in a kissing mood, but I genuinely do believe she acted on her subconscious desire to show Kris that level of affection when the opportunity presented itself, especially considering she wanted to kiss them again under the impression that she didn't do it right, and also appeared to want to tell them something but stopped upon seeing Kris's blushing face.

Whereas Kris has now been made aware that Noelle does in fact have deep feelings towards them, and doesn't know how to handle the revelation. Honestly I think it's pretty awesome that for all of Kris's talk about them Noelle and Susie being great pair, and getting closer, Noelle just expressed, unintentionally or not, that she also wants to get closer to them in the same manner.

this was AWESOME to read, i felt like you put into words everything subtle i tried to convey with that comic… its perfect

i enjoy the idea that like, as much as kriselle feels like It Shouldnt Be Happening (with suselle being the obvious endgame, probably) (or just the fact that it’s “obvious” at all) it simultaneously feels like its fated or meant to be. it’s not what the story is pushing towards, but realistically, it seems like the most viable option long-term (imo). underneath all the baggage, kris and noelle are super comfortable with each other, shes the only non-family member to really understand them, and vice versa, they dont have to put up any fronts. i suppose that kind of ties into susie and noelle’s “messy highschool romance” kiss vs. kris’s and noelle’s “accidental this-has-awakened-something-in-me weirdly perfect” kiss. just the fact that noelle turns around and kisses kris after susie feels like “it shouldnt be happening” (i know we all want polycule here but lets pretend they’ve barely entertained that idea yet) and makes things needlessly complicated, but suddenly, this seems like the more interesting path…

“forbidden” romance not in the sense that theres something actually wrong with it, but instead its simply not the path that the narrative is pushing towards (something something the forbidden path starts with ice magic…)

noelle choosing to kiss kris in that moment also kind of reflects what it is she likes about them, like you said. a tag i got a really long time ago on a reblog was “noelle’s image of kris in her mind is a kind one.” underneath all the pranks and goofs, they always mean well in the end. but when kris expresses that kindness by saying noelle and susie would make a good pair, noelle, who knows them so well, can still see past their words — more as a gut feeling than anything else — because the mere gesture of trying to hide their feelings to maintain her happiness is ALSO kind of them.

i keep saying that kris is the kind of person to run from their feelings all the time because i really believe it’s the case. theres only so many ways you can achieve that kind of stoicism lol. they hide and repress and keep those feelings locked away (both good feelings and bad ones) because they dont want to be a burden and mess things up for everyone. i think this was definitely a product of their home life, too — things get so chaotic that no one has the time or energy to pay more than surface-level attention to you (with asriel being the one genuine exception i think). it eventually just becomes easier to shut up and cut off all the emotions that might make you dare to Feel Real Things out of fear of rocking the boat. all of this is to say that how kris feels about noelle is just another thing they have sealed away, eventually just internalizing as genuine care for her wellbeing, with Something Else still hidden deep inside. and noelle kissing them undid all of their many many years of careful feelings-control because “oh shit oh god noelle no you cant kiss me havent you considered the Consequences??? the ramifications?? noelle the rammies. Tje consequences ive made up in my head”

and again like you said everything is incredibly subconscious on noelle’s end and she barely notices it. part of it could be from genuine Lol That’s Kris thats My Friend! without taking 5 seconds to think deeper about everything and unpack her own feelings. she Feels her feelings but is too mentally preoccupied to understand what they mean. i actually made this diagram just last night to convey basically exactly this

ultimately the whole shoujo romance thing makes the stakes way lower so now things are like, Oh no someone’s feelings might get hurt rather than Oh no the entire world is actually going to end. (maybe part of why i internally set it to take place multiple years in the future where they’re all in college or something and the dark world stuff is behind them LOL)

im gonna stop myself before this post gets too disgustingly long but man i have so many thoughts about them. sometimes i fear i treat them more like ocs so i have to realign myself and think “ok this still lines up with canon right.” but everything ive said is just what “feels right” to me i guess

Hi, i just wanted to ask if the "Or so says the sadist" and "The part of you that enjoyed yesterday" from your last fanart is based on any song or a book? Is just that they are banger lines 🔥 and i really hope they are from a song.

thanks! "the part of you that enjoyed yesterday" is straight from chapter 3 (a weird route exclusive line i believe) from the secret S-rank videogame stuff. eram/john mantle/whatever its name is taunts kris about being interested in weird games or outcomes (i assume. they're actually kind of similar to noelle in that way i guess)

"or so says the sadist" is a slightly paraphrased line from utsu-p's song RRRRafflesia... the full line is, "'This is your accurately calculated potential' says the sadist -- so fallacious." the line that immediately follows it is "Karma nests within all our lives" which is also good... both lines are from the beat drop at the very end of the song which is just, constantly looping in my head all the time LOL. also this song taught me what a rafflesia is and theyre SUPER freaky looking to me (cartoonishly-giant parasitic flowers that smell like rotting corpses)

favorite word?

i dont know if it counts but i cant stop saying “idgaf” recently. like as if it’s a real word. id-gaff. i dont even give a gaf. i say it to everything. something is bothering me? idgaf. this drawing didnt come out the way i wanted it to? idgaf. nervous for work meeting? i just think “IDGAF IDGAF IDGAFFFF!!!!!” and i start to feel better

hi! i bought your anthology a few days ago and it has stayed on my mind ever since. the exclusive comic especially has left me feeling emotions i don't quite have the words to describe, and i wanted to reach out to thank you for making it (& the rest of the anthology) because of how it managed to affect me

i like your work a lot and hope you keep making cool stuff in the future!

AHHHH THANK YOU… im glad people seemed to enjoy the exclusive one, since it very outwardly deals with more sensitive subjects i figured that if it was Released to The Public people might find ways to be weird about it or not take it seriously… so i feel kind of bad for having it be paywalled, but also its ok because the story isn’t for everyone in the first place. the kind of story where only true kriselleheads will pay $10 and trudge through 130 pages of pre-existing goomywork just to read it (or you can read the solo comic pdf instead…) i will keep drawing forever!

im the kris costume anon (that is... a description, alright self jklfhdfkjas) and i just had to jump up and down at what you said at the end about kris protecting noelle!!!!

because gosh did it do things to my brain when noelle said 'then kris, maybe you can take your sword and be the hero that protects me from the mice?' like... hmmmm noelle?? HMM???? i say as i fuck up the puzzle and scare her endlessly with mice anyway but--

gosh i love that yeah, kris as a knight as opposed to baggy clothes gremlin must've been so confusing for noelle! also they just naturally know all these aura farming ass poses, are agile as hell, and things that make them *look cool*?! i love that kris is still shorter than her though shdjsdhjs

i also wholly subscribe to the idea that kris is trying to protect noelle by distancing themself from her (or something) so it is Doing Things to my Brain to consider what noelle must've been thinking to see them as a knight

agljkghkhkfjas oh my god, i had a similar thought during the weird route of 'haha it's like kris is the knight protecting their mage ha a h a...' before tucking that away deep in my mind, because i thought i'd get flayed for it so it felt like someone dumped cold water on my head when i read what you said LMAOOOOO bless...!

I will say the things ur afraid of getting flayed for… theure gonna flay me instead… get behind me big goomyloid will protect you

axwgdhecqcshf i can imagine that noelle has never really thought of kris as being very “cool”… MAYBE when they were playing the piano she would think so? but “cool” probably isnt the right word (maybe earnest instead) and its definitely not the same as how they appear in the DW lol… suddenly bro is swordfighting and whatever else and noelle is just ?!?!?!?!??! (hand over mouth) Why are they kinda… i didnt know they could…

IT MAKES ME GIGGLE even though normal route kriselle is much more lowkey i think its a cool tidbit… who knows maybe seeing that different side of them will awaken something in her………. but in reality theyll always be a little penguin

also — i laugh when i see people draw kris taller than noelle tbh… this is proof that we fundamentally view the characters differently. sorry. kris always must be significantly shorter sorry

also yeah i definitely think that out of all people kris wants to protect by Keeping Them Out Of It it’s probably noelle. susie is way different, because not only is she super strong in character and blatantly disobeys Us all the time, but at this point shes kind of irreversibly deeply intertwined with whatever the hell is happening story-wise. i said it somewhere in a twitter thread but if kris is going to want anyone to understand their position, it’d probably be susie. conversely, kris is driven away from noelle for all sorts of reasons, one of which is probably guilt over Various Things (them possibly having something to do with dess’s disappearance, or the fact that theyre Working For Dess Now or something, or just general low self esteem and feeling as though they’d be weighing her down by staying in her life). they miss her but they feel like they dont have the right to, so they keep pushing themself away and clinging onto susie as a result (this isnt discrediting the krusie friendship or anything but rather one of many reasons that kris seems so attached to her)

cold silent knight there to protect noelle… little did kris know that this protection would lead them into getting closer to her again.. PLAN BACKFIRE epic fail loser!!!! i think about how before kris cut her off in the couch scene, noelle was probably going to say that kris said they would protect her (since she reiterates it later) and i just go Oughhhh. Aauuuugghhhh. if i could redo my little comic interpretation of the porch scene id add that in there because i Forgot

reminds me of this doodle i did (for angel/demon au) where kris’s silent protectiveness gets completely trashed as they are the one forced to hurt her……. forced to hurt the friend you promised to protect… you TOLD her youd protect her…. she is harmed and then as punishment you feel as though you must harm yourself. hey does anyone else see that 18-wheeler coming down this lane or is it just m

hi i just wanted to say thank you for your kriselle art/discussion stuff, I've come back to tumblr for the first time in a decade after ch3+4 dropped hoping to find basically exactly YOUR work, that shit HITS in a place i didn't know could still be hit, please keep doing your thing

oughh thank youu LOL im glad you enjoyed my work to such a degree… to be honest i really hope i keep drawing kriselle forever because theyre genuinely like the culmination of everything ive ever liked ever i think. even when the Fixation fades they Always Come Back this has happened 3 times now. i will never be free. I will keep drawing forever

[goomyloid]

Doodle request; Kris leaning down; they're kissing Noelle's finger; it's bloody from the thorn ring; they hold it in or have it on their hand; interpret it however you want to; no worries if it's too bloody.

not exactly taking requests at the moment but luckily i do have an unfinished storyboard (that may stay unfinished forever atp) where kris does the hand kiss thing so It Counts i think

song is georgette me georgette you by ave mujica... i have so many amv ideas but im too scared to make all of them

[goomyloid]

You are slowly falling for ME.

[goomyloid]

strange request, but could you post the sketch of Noelle as Basil you drew here on tumblr? It has made me very ill for several weeks and has just emerged again in my mind

yep here it is.. additionally heres the sketch too because i liked how it looked without color, one of my fave Intense Noles ive ever drawn i think… (ignore the last img i just put it there to make the sketch img way smaller)

the omori x kriselle au someone on twitter did lowkey opened my mind up a little to more (selfishly) violent noelle, specifically towards kris, who normally would never think of legitimately hurting them (aside from slapping some sense into them) until shes driven mad with grief and isolation… this will not happen but Man is it something to chew on
