J.K. Rowling is also a woman, I’m not trying to be that guy but I’m just saying you shouldn’t imply that you love every women.

katie was counting on brennen lee mulligan’s rage being what got her pitch views, but she was clearly not considering the sheer potential that rested within aabria iyengar’s unprecedented ability to run a one-woman guerilla marketing campaign

If I had a nickel for everytime Aabria Iyengar played a blue-coded, jaded romantic with a doomed love story who hid her sweetness behind a tough shell I’d have two nickels but it’s weird that it happened twice

as someone Equally Insane about dessknight please give me your essay

at this point i kind of don't understand how you can come to any other conclusion

what we know about the knight:

they're a lightner (because susie saw them outside the dark world at the end of chapter 3)

they are able to communicate with kris via phone calls in some capacity, but don't seem to be capable of complex speech (and cell phones do not work in the dark world)

they share a goal with kris in some capacity (opening fountains/probably reviving the titans)

they created at least the second and fourth chapter's fountains

what we know about dess:

she disappeared some unspecified amount of time ago, and her disappearance somehow cost asgore his job as a cop

she is associated with baseball and wiffle bats

she is associated with the number 1225

she has the code to the shelter written inside her guitar, the first 3 numbers of which are 122

she promised to take noelle "to a place like [cyber city]"

So the first mention we ever have of the roaring knight by name is at the end of chapter 2, when Queen repeatedly references the fact that the knight created the fountain and, by extension, cyber city. Granted, we don't know exactly how kris/the knight choose the locations for the fountains, but it's significant imo that dess told noelle she'd take her somewhere like this, "somewhere with flashing lights," and then noelle just so happened to be in the computer lab when the fountain was created and the dark world that was created from the knight's will happened to have a whole carnival in it. note that the other dark world that we know the knight created, the church in chapter 4, was nowhere near as bright and upbeat as the computer lab. it seems like that world was created for a different purpose. Not to mention this fucking moon

is so blatantly a baseball. "I wish dess could see this" dont worry baby. she did

The next time we get a mention of the knight (and the first time we actually see them) is at the end of chapter 3. several things are important to note here. the first is that the code you have to enter to open the door into the room where the roaring knight encounter takes place is 1225--december 25th. literally a december holiday. The room is full of snow and ends with a Christmas tree. like. come on. The 1225 door code is also specifically a parental lock "to prevent the viewing of musical videos." earlier in the chapter, tenna mentions that dess would "grab the remote and swap it from cartoons... to that wild music video channel toriel forbid you to see." In order to get to the roaring knight you have to enter December Holiday into a lock on december holiday's favorite channel and then walk through a room very obviously themed after The December Holiday. at a certain point it's almost too blatant. How does everyone not see this immediately

What we also get in chapter 3 is the actual reveal of what the knight looks like. granted, the holiday-style reindeer horns don't necessarily mean december is the only option here, since there are at least 3 other characters we know have antlers like that. HOWEVER. there are two much more blatant design choices that imply dess is the knight. the first is the knight's fast-travel form:

that is a fucking baseball. tell me im wrong

the second is this specific frame from the knight's weapon-summoning animation:

I will grant you that this weapon almost immediately becomes a sword. however. this is blatantly a wiffle bat. Which noelle SPECIFICALLY MENTIONS DESS USING MULTIPLE TIMES. i mean COME ON

Final thoughts: I think a lot of kris's motivation becomes MUCH clearer if we assume that dess is the roaring knight. we know that kris's family was damaged by her disappearance and that asgore thinks something happened to her but no one else believes him. If he and/or kris witnessed whatever happened to dess that turned her into the roaring knight, (which, based on the fact that dess had the shelter code, was probably related in some way to the shelter) the way they act immediately makes sense--asgore, after being blamed for dess's death and shunned by most of the town due to his insistence that something supernatural occurred, teamed up with carol, who also believes that there's something more to her daughter's disappearance. Kris, either out of a desire to fix their family or guilt over whatever they witnessed in connection to dess's disappearance, helps the knight in the hope of "fixing" her or at the very least atoning for the suffering she must have experienced.

I don't believe that carol could be the knight partially due to the constant fucking baseball references but also because she and the roaring knight have very different "phone voices"--at the end of chapter 4 of the weird route, carol (or at the very least someone HEAVILY IMPLIED to be carol) calls kris instead of the roaring knight, and she's given a regular dialog box and speaks normally, while when the knight is (implied to be) the one talking on the phone they get that weird shaky dialog box and their speech is rough and broken. Since we know phones don't work in the dark world, it's implied that the knight talks like that in the light world, too, which frankly carol would have literally no reason to do.

tldr dessknight real. i think it would be kind of funny if asgore still hit her with his car though
