needed a palate cleanser after that last one. This is the same characters, but in a kinder world, one without a cruel SOUL bringing out the worst in them.

The result is bittersweet longing, and a surprising amount of Dragon Blazers III references.

"It really adds something to this story of bittersweet teen longing if you read my fucked up dubcon porn first." — me, a normal person.

Deltarune has given us a lot of striking images, but Susie touching Ralsei's face in a gesture of forgiveness and leaving a bloody handprint on his cheek because she punched a stained-glass window might just take the cake in terms of getting thematically freaky with it.

Trump declares a ceasefire like Michael Scott declares bankruptcy.

The president is getting a timely lesson in “Middle East crises are complicated,” which seems like the sort of thing he should’ve already known.

On Monday afternoon, Donald Trump published a bold, six-word declaration on his social media platform: “CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, IT’S TIME FOR PEACE!”

The missive was soon followed by a series of follow-up posts in which the president not only touted a “Complete and Total CEASEFIRE” between Israel and Iran, but also proceeded to take credit for the breakthrough.

In the early evening, the president went even further during an exclusive phone interview with NBC News, in which he not only said he personally made the ceasefire happen, but he also made related predictions about the likely success of the developments. Asked how long the ceasefire would be, Trump said, “I think the ceasefire is unlimited. It’s going to go forever.” He added that the war is now completely over, saying he does not believe Israel and Iran “will ever be shooting at each other again.”

I wonder if he ever even talked to either side or if he just declared a ceasefire over social media and assumed both parties would comply.

We are villainizing ourself so bad we don't even notice that we didn't really choose to posses Kris?

We were making our own body, something that wouldn't be immoral to posses, when suddenly we get it snached away and put into some angsty teenager.

Of course, we could STOP playing the game, but what would it change? If we are not playing the game just freezes and waits for us, Kris wouldn't be free like this. Also, when we give up, Gaster says that "the world gets covered in darkness" which implys that the world NEEDS us.

I don't think we are a demon or a parasite, what we do doesn't need to be evil and without Kris we are doing just fine, Kris is the one who seems to be struggling without us.

I just want my body back ;-;

[toweringclam]

I think my next writing will be a palate cleanser. Something sweet but sad. A Kriselle story from a better world, but not the one either want. Fluff rather than smut. Give myself some range.

rahhhh kris doodles

To elaborate, originally the first chapter was released not as a game but as a sketchy "Survey." If it wasn't from Toby Fox, I don't think anyone would've touched it for how virus-looking it was. When you opened it, you were presented with this:

Then it launched into the Goner Maker. Up until we got to control Kris, there was no real indication that this was even a game and not just some elaborate trailer.

If you think about it in that context, it seems to say that the Player of Undertale was duped by someone (probably gaster). Just gonna ask a few questions... Oops now you're stuck inside this teenager now have fun!

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH watching Kris flee out of the room when they find out we're with them KILLS ME every damn time, and perhaps the detail that hurts the most is how their expression changes and how that adds a new understanding to how Kris sees us.

The moment they realize they and Noelle are in terrible danger, the netrual, reserved expression we're so used to seeing from them changes into one of ABSOLUTE TERROR as they flee out of the room; terror which I firmly believe is rooted in the psychological, emotional, and physical trauma we have caused them and Noelle.

The things we made them do in the Snowgrave/Weird Route made them realize just how much harm we're capable of causing them and the people they care about, and how great our capacity for evil truly is. They already resent us for depriving them of their agency, and now that they've endured us abusing said agency in the worst possible way, their hatred and fear of us has increased a thousandfold.

Deltarune isn't some cute little otherworldly adventure; it's a goddam cosmic horror story, except the twist is we're the eldritch being that brings ruin and madness wherever we go.

In the fiction of the game, I don't think not playing it is an option. If you so much as opened the SURVEY_PROGRAM seven years ago, you agreed to accept everything that happened from now on. Then we were tricked into Kris's body rather than the empty vessel we were promised. Not playing the game is an option that you, the player, might have, but it's not an option the Player, captain of the human SOUL, actually has.

Okay I think a lot of deltarune fans skew younger, so I'm gonna lay out some helpful etiquette to help you through these turbulent ship waters

"Canon" does not matter. Nine times out of ten your ship will not become canon (which is frankly way better than the previous odds from fandoms of old, more like only one in a thousand). Your ship becoming canon would not make it better, nor should you place stock or worth in it becoming canon.

You can like multiple ships. Yes in a poly way, but you can also just like them both separately. That's allowed, I promise. You can tell a story two ways, I swear.

Yes, characters are allowed to just be friends. Yes, you're allowed to only see them as friends. You don't have to ship it. No one is making you ship it. But going into the tag or on someone's shippy post like "Cute but I only see them as friends ❤️ Best bros ❤️ platonic forever" know that you are sucking all the fun out of the room. If you don't ship it you don't have to be here. Let's be real, if I went and started going "What good friends! Besties! Roommates!" on Suselle posts, I'd be rightfully eaten alive.

On that note, ship names are for the ship. Not for the friendship.

Also misgendering Kris as a girl so you feel better about shipping them is just as fucked as misgendering them as a guy fyi

it moves towards her a little and she starts screaming

Random theory:

Among the many things the Deltarune represents, it also represents the three main families of Boss Monsters: the Holidays, the Dreemurrs, and the Booms.

This door:

Means that there might have been a fourth family at one time.

The Zillers, perhaps?

Wrote some Kriselle smut but tbh it's more of a psychological horror/character piece. Really good imo, but like genuinely too fucked up to find sexy. Someone probably will though. I'll sleep on it and maybe post tomorrow after some edits.
