Susie subplot vs Kris subplot

[sniffingcinnamon]

susie is my favorite of the deltarune cast 1000% and one of my favorite characters possibly ever and yet i cant form a single coherent thought on her. i cant even like, think properly about what specifically in her character speaks to me without feeling like a kicked wet puppy. she makes me feel so much and i cant even put it into words for like a coherent analysis or anything

and then she just says shit like this randomly. one of the characters that truly speaks to me like no other and one that ive found so much meaning in. and she just says shit like this for some reason. Why the fuck does she say this. this has been stuck in my head for the past week i just say French fry, (oo), on the freaking ground. randomly and start giggling like a maniac to myself. thank you susie deltarune. thank you toby fox

Gift one shot for @sniffingcinnamon in return for the amazing Itys and Octavio art she made for me :3

(One shot below cut)

Ivy set another glass of water on the table next to Mycena, taking away the old, nearly full one. 

“Why have you not been drinking more water? It’s the only way you’ll get better,” she scolded, pulling a blanket over the sick octopus lying on the couch. 

“It tastes bad when I’m sick,” Mycena groaned before sneezing for the third time in a span of fifteen minutes. 

“It’s also the only way that you’ll get better.” Ivy went to clean up the old tissues that had spilled from the garbage. She couldn’t even get one picked up before a long tentacle curled around her waist and pulled her onto the couch right up against her girlfriend. 

“You can’t escape me now,” Mycena teased as she encircled Ivy in her limps, trapping her below the blanket.

“What are you doing?” Ivy laughed, only making a half-hearted attempt to get away. 

“Kidnapping you. You’re my squid now.” Mycena nuzzled her face against Ivy’s back, squeezing her tighter. 

“I already was your squid,” the inkling said. “And stop, you’re getting snot all over my back!”

“You know you love it, sweet little inkling whose lips taste like honey,” she cooed.

Ivy could only make a flustered, squeaking noise, her face going bright red. “You’re going to get me sick too,” she stammered. 

“But you’ve been taking such good care of me,” Mycena whined as she spun Ivy around to face her. “How could I possibly get you sick when I’m already feeling so much better?” Her sentence was immediately followed up by a loud sneeze, right into Ivy’s face.

“That’s how,” she grumbled. The inkling sighed as she reached for a tissue to clean the snot off of the two of them. “My stubborn little takoyaki ball, insisting on hugging me,” she crooned.

“If I remember correctly, it was you who last night refused to remove your face from my belly,” Mycena teased.

“That was last night,” Ivy mumbled, her face going red once again. The octoling beside her just laughed. 

Mycena held Ivy close to her as the two fell into a comfortable silence, cuddling beneath the blanket. Slowly, Mycena’s body relaxed, her head coming to rest against Ivy’s shoulder as her eyes drifted closed. Her breathing slowed and she fell into slumber. 

Ivy froze.

“Oh no,” she thought to herself. “Mycena’s finally sleeping. That’s good, she needs sleep to recover. But now I’m trapped. And if I move I might wake her up.”

Mycena mumbled something incoherent in her sleep, though Ivy could swear she heard her own name as Mycena’s tentacles wrapped tighter around her. 

“On second thought… maybe I’ll just stay here for a bit.” Ivy nuzzled herself closer, and let her own eyes fall shut. 

****

When Mycena woke again, she found herself resting on Ivy’s shoulder as Deep Cut introduced the news in the background.

“Finally awake,” Ivy said as she tapped the octoling’s nose with her finger. “Sleep well?”

“Yeah,” Mycena muttered, not bothering to move off of Ivy’s shoulder. “I’m feeling better too.”

“Good, because I made you some soup and I was really hoping you’d be well enough to eat it before it gets cold.” Ivy gestured to the table with a bowl of hot soup. 

“Ooh thank you,” Mycena sang as she took the bowl and slurped the soup. 

“I’m glad you have an appetite again,” Ivy commented.

“The only problem is now I’m starving.” Mycena laughed as she revealed the already empty bowl.

“Oh geez yeah I’ll make you some more.” Ivy got up and headed to the kitchen, working to make a new bowl of soup, and reheat some noodles from last night. She brought them in along with a fresh glass of cold water, which Mycena consumed eagerly. 

“Thank you, my adorable evolved squidling,” Mycena praised.

“Aww you’re welcome.”

“I think I’m starting to feel better.” Mycena made an attempt to stand, to which Ivy immediately pushed her back down onto the couch.

“Oh no you don’t. You’re not getting up from that couch until your fever is gone and your oxygen is normal.”

Mycena groaned as she got the thermometer and pulse oximeter, placing them in her mouth and on her finger respectively, and she waited. 

“Hmmm your oxygen is okay, but you’re still kind of hot…” Ivy murmured as she checked the results on both.

“Well of course I’m hot,” the octoling teased.

“Shut up,” Ivy punched her shoulder.

“You know you love me.”

“I do. But that’s not an excuse for you not to rest. If anything, it’s more reason. Now get better.”

“I can’t control how fast I get better.”

“Get. Better,” Ivy gowled teasingly. 

“Okay, okay, I’ll get better,” Mycena laughed in return. 

“Good, I need you to be okay,” Ivy said softly as she leaned in and kissed Mycena’s forehead. 

“I’m not dying.”

“But you might if you don’t get better.”

“No, I definitely won’t.”

“But you could. And I have no idea what I’d do if you did.”

“Well I’m not going to. And if I did, I would haunt you so you wouldn’t need to be without me. I would throw all your things on the ground.”

“Nooo not my things! Whatever shall I do?” Ivy held a hand to her forehead dramatically, as if she were about to faint onto a sofa. 

“I will throw them everywhere!” Mycena spread her arms out in a grand gesture as she giggled. Ivy joined in with her chorus of laughter.

“I love you so much,” the inkling laughed.

“I love you too, more than you could possibly know.”

“I love you more than there are stars in the sky.”

“Well I love you more than there are grains of sand, and there are more of those.”

“No way that’s true.”

“You’ve lived around sand long enough to know it gets everywhere. You should know this.”

“Well… I love you more than a salmonid loves the sea.”

“I love you more than an octotrooper loves takoyaki.”

“I love you more than there have been people walking this planet.”

Mycena opened her mouth to counter, but then sneezed again. 

“Ha! I win,” Ivy boasted. “Now you need to get more rest. You’re still not better.”

“Fine. But only because you won the battle.” Mycena lay down on the couch again, pulling the blanket back over her as she grabbed the remote and turned the TV up. Ivy suggled herself beside her.

i wanted to draw the layered fuck ass bob that trans guys get when theyre eleven because their moms wont let them go any shorter (which i have had multiple times as a kid) and i accidentally drew kris

@sailorsplatoon

What would happen if Lill and Itys swapped places? So Lill would suddenly be in Itys' position (probably trapped inside a snowglobe, or maybe if they got really unlucky she'd end up with the hypnoshades on) and Itys would be wherever Lill is right now

Lill would be extremely confused, as she either ends up in a snowglobe with a friend group she doesn't know, and an NSS that she doesn't know as well, or she ends up instantly hypnotized by the hypnoshades and ends up taking a similar role to Itys.

I think that Itys would probably be very confused as to what's going on, as in all likelyhood they're suddenly being cuddled by two people without any connection to them.

[sniffingcinnamon]

Ok so my kid had an ear infection, right? As kids often do.

The doctor scraped out a bit of earwax to have a better look inside.

I was sent a bill for $200 PER EAR for this 5 second procedure which I did not give permission for them to do.

That was key- they did not ASK me if they could do this "procedure". And, as I OWN a medical practice (it's me. The medical practice is me, sitting in my house on video calls) I knew to call them when this bill came in to be like "You did not obtain informed consent for this procedure, and it was not en emergency procedure. You had full ability to gain my consent and didn't. I'm not paying."

And the massive hospital who owned the bill said "yuh-huh you do have to pay."

And I said "I own a practice. I know these laws. I do not owe you money for this."

And they conducted an "internal review" and SURPRISE! Decided I totally owed them money and they had never done anything wrong ever.

And so I called my state's Attorney General office, and explained the situation because, as I mentioned, I know the law. The AG got in touch within a couple days to say they were taking the case and would send the massive hospital conglomerate a knock it off, guys letter.

Lo and Behold, today I have a letter where said hospital graciously has agreed to forfeit the payment.

"How not to get screwed over by companies" should be part of civics class.

Know your rights and know who to call when they're infringed on. This whole process cost me $0 and honestly less effort than I would have expected.

May this knowledge find its way to someone else who can use it.

I love women

[sniffingcinnamon]

The interesting thing is…. from the glimpses of SOUL-less Kris we saw in Chapter 1 + 2, it was notable how…. strangely they seemed to move. We saw them walking with a sort of zombie-like gait that maybe implied they weren’t in full control of their body still, or maybe just that they were in immense pain.

It led to a lot of people speculating that Kris does need a SOUL to some level. Maybe the SOUL is Kris’ but we’re a foreign entity that has taken it over, or that Kris’ original actual SOUL has been removed and replaced with us. If Kris needed the SOUL to live, that would explain their slow, deliberate movements and also why they keep putting us back inside despite clearly hating being under our control.

So now, with Chapter 4 giving us a much better glimpse of SOUL-less Kris doing stuff… it’s notable that they seem… fully capable of moving ‘normally’. Angrily, but normally.

Even when they do the whole Creepy Zombie Walk thing they are notably faster than they seemed to be in Chapters 1 + 2

They can do things that require fine motor skills, focus and swiftness like playing the piano, handling glasses, and beating the shit out of us with a hockey stick and it's all animated as smoothly as most other Deltarune Animations. Not really implying effort or stiffness the way that original Creepy Zombie Walk animation did.

And while Susie only gets a brief moment to interact with SOUL-less Kris in the Normal Route

Noelle has prolonged interactions with them in the Weird Route (both on-screen in Chapter 4 and off-screen in-between Chapters 2 and 3) and... while she does note that they sounded 'weak and shaky' and obviously their behavior seems weird on account of the whole 'traumatized by the Unkillable Evil Time-Demon only they can see" thing

... There's nothing to really indicate that there's anything outright unnatural or 'zombie-like' about the way Kris moves and interacts with her while SOUL-less. Since this is the Weird Route, Noelle even note this is the most natural and Kris-like they've acted in the last few days.... until we take over again.

And now we know they can go without the SOUL for a fairly prolonged period of time. The Ominous Phone Voice of Probably Carol does tells them they need the SOUL, it seems unclear why.

So… what that means for SOUL-less Kris’ behavior before? It’s possible that even if Kris can operate without a SOUL, it still hurts like hell. So right after tearing out the SOUL they are in Maximum Pain and it's hard to ignore, causing them to move in a struggling and slow manner. But the more they go without it, they kinda get used to it and the pain fades into the background - allowing them to do stuff more-or-less normally.

(Basically Kris has Chronic Pain but the only Painkiller that works for them is Demonic Possession)

…Or, knowing Kris, maybe this… was all an act. They were only behaving like This because they knew we were watching. It is pretty notable that they walk around normally in the Holidays' Kitchen while we're eavesdropping on them and only swap to the Creepy Walk Animation once they notice us....

Maybe this is an act, either to make us underestimate the things Kris could do SOUL-less… or because they’re a little teen Edgelord so they just enjoy playing up the whole Soulless Zombie thing when they have a chance.
