These three little moments for me perfectly illustrate what I love the most about Susie: because she took what she and others used to perceive as her greatest flaw and transformed it into her greatest strength.

The way I see it, she's still the same unruly troublemaker we've known her as ever since the very first chapter, but what changed since is that now she doesn't just do it for her own sake, but for the sake of everyone!

She hasn't stopped her disorderly and disruptive antics; she's now redirected at the people and things which deserve disorder and disruption. Whether it be playing Dess's guitar for Noelle despite the demands of her borderline-abusive mother, smashing a prophecy she was once willing to accept, or even something as small as sharing juice with Kris and giving them one brief, glorious moment to be themselves and be free of our control.

Because the way they see it, THE PEOPLE SHE LOVES SHOULDN'T RESPECT THE RULES, THE RULES SHOULD RESPECT THE PEOPLE SHE LOVES!!!

My all-time favourite thing about Susie's relationship with Kris and Noelle is that, for both Kris and Noelle, she represents a chance to have again what they used to have with each other when they were little.

It's an indisputable fact that Kris and Noelle used to have something truly special when they were children, and we've seen time and time again in both the normal and the weird route that they yearn to have that connection once again. They treasure the memories they had together, and what makes Susie so special to them both is that she gives them a chance to have again what they once lost.

For Kris, it feels good to have someone who not only understands and appreciates their many weird and unorthodox qualities but shares them as well, whether it be the scaring, the swearing, the indelible-object-eating, and so on! Being with Susie gives Kris a chance to be themselves and break free of their constraints, whether it be everyone's demanding expectations or even OUR CONTROL! Is it any coincidence that Kris does so much on their own free will when they're with her?

As for Noelle, I firmly believe that the reason she loves Susie so much is because she has the same qualities that she saw in Kris. She loves Kris for their weird and unorthodox traits and the memories that resulted from it, especially because her time with Kris offered her a chance to break free of her mother's puritanical standards and crushing expectations. So when she sees Susie being just as weird as Kris, it's like she's being given a second chance to get back the joyous disruption and nonconformity Kris once gave her.

So yeah, in a weird way, Kriselle, Suselle, and Krusie aren't just coexisting with each other, THEY'RE BUILDING UP EACH OTHER!

So what makes up your little polycule?

[the-irreverend]

I don't consider "fans" of Suselle, Kriselle, or Krusie who attack the other pairings (and fandoms of said pairing) to be real fans of their own ships because their bullying, slander, and harrassment is always rooted in insecurity and arrogance and NEVER out of a place of genuine love or respect for the ship they PRETEND to be fans of.

If you think that the worth of your ship is completely dependent on making everyone conform to it, then it just demonstrates how little you actually value your ship if you think it's so delicate and fragile that the mere existence of other shipping fandoms threatens it.

[the-irreverend]

What I mean to ask is, even though us Krusielle stans technically ship Krusie, Suselle, and Kriselle all at once, is there one that you're a little more passionate about?

[the-irreverend]

So are you the kind of shipper who sees Kris getting all lovey-dovey with Noelle and Susie or do you see them as an aroace bestie?

[the-irreverend]

Does anyone else really hate it when people try to point to the snowgrave run as an argument that Kris and Noelle should never be romantically involved together and that shipping them together is somehow a reflection of the horrors and malice we put them through in the weird route?

[the-irreverend]

Let's all hunt them to extinction

[the-irreverend]

What have you done Gooseworx...

...keep doing it

[the-irreverend]

Interesting timing, eh?

[the-irreverend]

Hi, just wanna say I absolutely ADORE your analysis posts for UT/DR. Post like that going THAT in depth into dialogue is EXACTLY what I wanted to see for so long, and they way you write it makes it really easy to understand.

Tysm!!

AWWWWWWWWWWW THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can thank my autism for doing all the heavy lifting in my posts.

In addition to being quite attentive to minute details (hence the phrase autistic detail), my asd also plays a role in how I present my ideas.

My asd can make communicating my ideas challenging for me, and at times it has led to people misinterpreting what I try to say.

I always strive to explain myself as clearly and concisely as possible, leaving no room for ambiguity or vagueness regarding the ideas I present. That's why my writing can be a little weird at times lol.

You wanna know what my favourite effing part about being in the Krusielle fandom is?

Being in a mutualistic relationship with the Kriselle, Suselle, and Krusie fandoms.

[the-irreverend]

Kriselle, Krusie, AND Suselle positivity post because why the heck not?!

[the-irreverend]

I hate Suselle, Krusie, and Kriselle antis all with a dirty passion, so it brings me immense joy knowing my Krusielle content inflicts psychic damage to all of them at once.

[the-irreverend]

do you have any evidence that asgore's "you know what" that carol encourages are his attempts to get back together with toriel?

Thank you for asking my good anon!

If you remember when Toriel brought it up she didn't mention it specifically and said to Rudy "you know what I'm talking about."

Since Rudy was teasing her about it that's what led me to conclude that it was Asgore's attempts to get back together with her.

P.S. DON'T BE AFRAID TO SEND AN ASK MY WAY IF YOU GOT QUESTIONS ABOUT MY POSTS OR UTDR IN GENERAL!!!! =D

If I had a nickel for every time I came across an incredibly queer media where one of the main characters was magic-powered teenage girl born into a very wealthy and influential family run by a wholesome bisexual dad and an insanely toxic mother who's complicit in trying to cause the apocalypse, who eventually falls in love with a social outcast who constantly gets themselves into trouble at school and travels between worlds with them and then eventually saves said worlds...

...I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much, but it's weird it's happened twice.

[the-irreverend]

Perhaps my all-time favourite thing about Noelle (and one that is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED) is that, despite enduring god knows how much cruelty in her life, she never allows herself to continue the cycle of cruelty.

We're all familiar with characters who come from powerful and influential families who, despite being good at heart, still end up embracing some of the harmful behaviours and worldviews that their authority figures try to instill (i.e. Amity Blight from the Owl House); And what makes Noelle's story so poignant is that she didn't unlearn any malicious mentalities because SHE NEVER LEARNED THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!

We plainly see in how she treats those close and distant to them that she never allows the cold-heartedness of her mother drop the temperature of her own heart, and she does this even when enduring OUR COLD-HEARTEDNESS IN THE SNOWGRAVE RUN AS SHE CONTINUES TO BE JUST AS CARING AND RIGHTEOUS EVEN AFTER ALL THE PAIN SHE ENDURES AND THE PAIN WE MAKE HER INFLICT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She truly is a goshdarn inspiration, isn't she? No matter what she suffers or endures, she never loses sight of her principles and values, and continues to hold herself together for those she cares about, no matter how much others try to break her, whether it be her mother or the player.
