the distance between two, words unspoken

based on this post. I reworked kris' and noelle's dialogue bc i thought it would be more interesting for the comic format as well as more in-character. Basically my take on kris and noelles relationship and thoughts for each other. Doomed :)

A Collapsing Prophecy

[raventhewolf9]

I've been thinking a lot about Kris as a character and yknow what, fuck it. Have a Kris analysis post as I also consider making a Kris theory in the future.

Something I've seen some stuff about recently is how Kris tearing out their soul is the same as tearing out their emotions, their will, their hope, etc... and while I do think this is true in part, I don't think it's entirely accurate to say Kris has no capability to feel or care while soulless.

We know this partly due to dialogue in the Snowgrave route, where Noelle talks about how Kris comes to her, how Kris removes the thorn from her finger and apologizes, reassures her. We also see Kris, after The Player forces the ring back onto Noelle, beat the SOUL in a fit of rage. They take the opportunity to beat the soul in the trash can, kicking it and doing half their own health in damage. At least, to me, that doesn't seem like something someone would do if they felt nothing, if they didn't care. And, not to mention - if you ABORT it in chapter 4, one of the circumstances has Kris RUNNING out of the room, looking almost AFRAID while dragging Noelle behind them.

Let's also look at the normal route at Noelle's house, how Kris tears us out and goes into the kitchen. There's a disconnect there certainly, they're trying to get away from us and away from the others to talk to whoever's on the phone, but... they also get themself a drink. Once they're certain we're not in their way, they go over and they choose to play the piano, something we KNOW is something they love due to their responses to other circumstances.

We can also look at what Kris did the first time they tore the SOUL out - they went and... ate all the pie. Sure, they likely did OTHER things as well, but that was Kris's choice. They ate an ENTIRE pie, all by themself. Like, I don't think they'd do that if they didn't like pie when in that state?? It just feels inaccurate to say Kris being soulless is equivalent to them being emotionless.

I want to say that tearing the SOUL out doesn't make them incapable of feeling, but it's closer to a state of disassociation, where everything is kind of numb and distant. They can still respond, still feel, still acknowledge things happening around them - but it's less prominent, more in the background than anything. And while that may seem like it isn't as interesting, as someone who disassociates, I'd like to argue it's equally, if not more painful.

You know you're feeling something, you know you FEEL about these things, but that feeling is dampened and distant. It doesn't fully belong to you, it's an echo of what you're supposed to experience, a drop in the pool of emotions you know are truly flooding your very being, but you can't access that tap. It's clogged, or is it even there? It's all blurry, the line uncertain, and when you try to reach for the feelings it's almost like they reel away from you. There's nothing to find until you stop paying attention and it all comes back in a moment of clarity, only for it to drift away from your senses again.

I just thought I'd ramble about this, since it's been on my mind for a hot minute.

Is Noelle afraid of spiders? (Hint: Kris try to prank her with purple Vess 😉)

K: "Why'd you hit them against the wall???" N: "THEY FREAKED ME OUT! What was I supposed to do?!" V: "Ow......"

[raventhewolf9]

VESS.

can you loaf?? the bundle??? little ball of red bread???? does Kris make fun of you for it?????

-admiring the glorious works of art, 🫖

V: "Kris always says I look like a pigeon when I do." K: "That's because you do."

Susie and Kris being stupid together (Pt.5)

Drew a bunch of interactions I had with my brother with Susie and Kris because we are literally them.

undertale: Art style break to represent Flowey's new reality-bending powers, using unsettling realistic imagery to instill terror in the player

deltarune: Art style break because it's funny. look at the silly tv man and his 24 fps dance.

thinking about kris's first day with the soul

[raventhewolf9]

i like how the ripped sprite reveals the silly ass leg configuration they've got going on. kris has to step on susie's knee and susie has to crouch to make up for the Juice Height Difference

Never skip the flavour text in a Toby Fox game.

kris seeing through their hand in the shadow crystal. all the "severed hand"/"guy who wakes up without a hand" references in the new chapters. berdly having his entire arm paralyzed in the hospital if you didn't spare him in chapter 2. toby fox talking about his chronic wrist pain often preventing him from coding and playing. learning to navigate his disability and how working in a team makes developing games possible for him, even if they don't perfectly represent his vision. the piano as THEE representation of kris' freedom and individuality outside of their role as The Cage. the option to tell susie that Kris will keep playing if she learns to play piano too...

if kris loses their hand and deltarune ends with a 3-hand concert where susie plays alongside them i am going to walk straight into the ocean

I love the headcanon that Tenna’s version of sleep talking is playing ads on his screen (I’m sorry I had to use the jet2holiday audio I’m just biased cuz I grew up with it as a Brit).

[raventhewolf9]

One of the biggest reasons I would love to see Kris in a romantic relationship with Susie AND/OR Noelle is because it would be such a huge step forward for Polyam representation.

For all the great progress made in depicting on-screen queer relationships, it's hard not to realize that on-screen polyam rep is miles behind the pack. Yes, there have been a lot of polyships that have appeared in various fandoms, but very, VERY little (if any at all) in terms of actual, canonical polyamorous relationships.

And that's why Deltarune would be such a great opportunity to make that step forward for polyam representation! And given how we've seen actual polyamory in Chapter 3 and the great chemistry Noelle, Kris, and Susie have with each other (not to mention how Susie is going to take Noelle and Kris to the festival!), I can't help but feel like Deltarune is going to seize that opportunity in the coming chapters!

I'm very eager to see Susie and Noelle's lesbian romance fully blossom, but wouldn't it also be great if that romance was also part of a lesbian polycule with Kris?!?!

P.S. Though to play devil's advocate, it wouldn't be such a bad thing if Kris was in a queerplatonic relationship with Noelle and Susie because A) queerplatonic relationships are criminally underrated, and B) it would also be great for aroace rep too!
