Kris' relationship with the soul/player is a fascinating one.

Multiple people who are smarter than me have already gone into the intricacies of the constant fight for control between the both of us and how Kris really feels about everything going on. It's one of the most integral conflicts in all of Deltarune and it's also one of the most subdued.

What I find particularly interesting is how our control of Kris really doesn't seem to be noticed by people who have known them for years. Of the entirety of Home Town, there are only debatably three characters who can pick up that something is affecting Kris. Most obvious is, of course, Noelle. Considering the entire weird route only functions as it does by taking advantage of Kris and Noelle's estranged childhood relationship, it makes sense that she would piece together something eventually. There's also Susie, her most notable instance being after the Spamton fight where she can denote how Kris' reaction to it all can feel out of character, plus she has a habit of resisting player control anyway. And lastly, Toriel seems to notice something at the very least at the end of chapter 1, and considering she objectively knows Kris better than anyone besides maybe Asriel, I don't think it's a stretch to say that she would pick up on the player's influence (maybe Chapter 3 will confirm my suspicions). But aside from them, no one else can tell the difference. It just goes to show how closed off and reserved Kris has been for who knows how long. Until we came along.

It's funny. If you think about it, Kris and the Player are both extremely similar and polar opposites in a lot of ways. Both are thrust into a situation of which they have no control over. Both are attempting to defy their predestined fate and fight for control. Both have an enginmatic motive that's unknown from the other. And both have someone clearly pulling strings behind the curtains, manipulating events to put them into conflict. The two are connected for a reason. So much so that the only ones who can even tell the difference are Kris' closest friends and family.

But where we differ from Kris is two-fold, our approach to problem solving, and our autonomy. There's not much we know for certain about Kris, but what little we have seen is pretty telling. From how they brandish the knife, how they treat the soul itself, and how they outwardly fight against our influence, it's clear that (as of right now) they only view us as an affliction, a being that controls them against their will, an interloper pupeteering their body to force their way into their life, a parasite. They have no intentions of understanding us, or working with us, or giving us a chance to help them. They have one goal, to get rid of us.

Compare that to the player. For all intents and purposes, our goal is also to leave Kris, for whatever reason the narrative has. Maybe to find our original vessel, maybe to access something new, maybe just to see what will happen, or maybe we genuinely want to give Kris back their freedom because we care about them. But think about how we traverse the world. We treat like it's any other video game. We fight all the battles, we find all the items, we exhaust the dialogue, we find ever sercet. We explore every single possibility of changing our predestined fate, even if that means hurting the characters we care about. Where Kris has seemed to have cut themselves off from the rest of the world, we want to interact with every inch of it, and push it to its limits. And it's not out of any profound purpose or secret agenda, it's just our instincts as players of a video game. We want to see what will happen.

And that direct difference in freedom causes Kris and us to be opposed. Two wills fighting over a shared body. One, the rightful owner, the other, an inquisitive and curious intruder. And no matter what we do, actions we take, relationships we mend, battles we win, choices we make... some regard of that perception will always be true.

And that's really is what it's all about, isn't it? Freedom. That's why Kris refuses to understand or communicate with us. Because no reason we can give them will ever justify us controlling them, even if it's a valid one. The kid clearly has already a pretty tumultuous life. Between their brother leaving, the divorce of their parents, an unexplained tragedy relating to Dess, bullying at the hands of Susie, and the mere fact that they are a human orphan in a predominantly monster community, so much pain and strife has happened to Kris that was out of their control. And now, from what must be a sick joke from the Angel itself, the one thing they felt they had autonomy over is stripped away. They're acting in ways that aren't them, saying things they wouldn't say, and potentially even hurting the only people they still cared about. And to them, that is unforgivable.

And for me personally, I hate it. I've been referring to the player as a collective for most of this post, but if I could get personal for a second, I hate that I have to control Kris. I don't want to take away their will. I was thrown into this situation with no say just like Kris was, and I'm trying to do everything to help them. But even if I make all the good choices, do everything I possibly can to make sure that Kris, and this world, are in the best state they can be in, it won't change the simple fact that I have to control them to do it. It makes the mere act of turning on the game a guilt inducing nightmare.

And you may respond with that by saying: "then just don't play the game, and leave Kris in peace". But the thing is, I WANT to keep playing. I want to explore more dark worlds, I want to meet more characters, I want to learn more lore, I want to win more battles, and I want to help more friends. And here's the other thing, the world can't continue without me. If I left the game, the world wouldn't just immediately fix itself, and Kris wouldn't get their autonomy back. At worst, in narrative, the roaring would happen, and everyone would die, and at best, the world is just brought to a stasis, waiting for the player to continue. Every game needs a player.

So... I will continue playing. I will keep controlling Kris for as long as I have to. I will explore every option, however benevolent or destructive. I will fulfill my roles or defy them. I will conclude whatever narrative this game has laid out for me, as it's hero or as it's doom. Because I love this world, and I want to save it and everyone in it, including Kris. And whether or not Kris comes to terms with that fact, unfortunately, doesn't matter. I will proceed, for the sake of this world, and for my own curiosity. And if Kris forever hates me for it, then I can accept that.

I'll be their villain, if it means I have a chance I can save them.

Onto The Next Chapter [ Deltarune Comic Dub ]​

Comic By: @goomyloid

[saffsketches]

my things . shakes them around

[goomyloid]

are the rumors true that you are a fan of kris from deltarune and also noelle from deltarune. the public wants to know 🎤

idk..... that's kind of a stretch... not sure how you arrived at that conclusion tbh....

ok but genuinely -- i think i was in denial about how much i liked them for a while, im not at all immune to drawing my same few favorite characters from a series over and over, but even by like 2022 i was thinking "well i can only draw snowgrave stuff so many times... i should branch out maybe...."

this is when 2025 goomy comes to say: No. you have to draw kris and noelle forever even if it means you draw the other characters way less. embrace your tunnel-vision hyperfixation. and then i look in the mirror and say Yes goomy i'll do exactly that goomy

@goomyloid’s Angel Noelle and Demon Kris AU!

[goomyloid]

Hello! I found your account from the Snowgrave Noelle comic and I just wanted to say I absolutely LOVE your art. The first panels set the gloomy and dark tone so well, and the image of darkworld and overworld Noelle together was very beautiful. I'll definitely check more of your art out and give you a follow :)

wow, thank you so much, that’s so sweet 🥹 i still think of that comic as my magnum opus from last year, though i cant wait to make even better comics this year

im always telling people that that comic had a pretty rough development qxwhdjcbegw here’s the timeline…

- drafted in august 2023 (script written, thumbnailed, 50% of pages sketched)

- sat and collected dust for several months (i genuinely forgot about it)

- rediscovered in… april 2024, redid some page layouts and continued to move it forward (i had to go digging for the script in my notes) (yes most of my comic scripts get written in my notes app… trying to make myself switch to docs lol)

- as i was finishing the last few pages, i was under an increasing time crunch (went to a concert in a diff town, approaching college finals, approaching study abroad trip after that) but i could manage it

- … Until not one but both of my laptops broke during the same week. 😬 i was left virtually unable to draw digitally for about a week and a half

- FINALLY got 1 laptop fixed (the other was old and was asking to be abandoned anyway) and finished the last 2-3 comic pages in like 2 days. i managed to post the whole thing exactly 1 DAY before i left the country on my trip for a month lol (in early-mid may)

i know you didnt ask for any of that i just think its a fun story to share LOL.. truly that comic was a labor of love, and stress, and sweat, and many tears, so im very glad people enjoyed it to the degree they did! it meant a lot for people to praise not only my art but my storytelling as well + have something i genuinely put emotion and work into be recognized… ill cherish this feeling forever..!!!
