I literally told my brother yesterday "if Susie wants Ralsei to do her homework she can just bring it to the dark world, maybe if it turns into sentient homework it'll say the questions out loud."

Then today I get this in my feed

Simply splendid, I love this

it was worth a try

If you want to see actual peak go look at my other arts lol (Still trying to get the hang of drawing Susie)

I drew this last night because these three literally have a perfect friendship and I love them 🥺I'm glad Susie and Ralsei know they both have friends that care for them now.

I haven't drawn them in three years, please excuse their appearance... (I chose a simple pose for this same reason... also I don't actually remember drawing Susie before this)

Also these new chapters threw me back into hyperfixating over Ralsei... I MISSED HIM IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE CHAPTER 2....

Every time I see the word canoodling I think of the absolute peak made by @eldritchwriter346

I agree 100% though Uzi would not want to see her parents like that

uzi being happy that her parents are reunited but at the same time every time she sees them canoodling in front her, she wants to explode them. just, 💥

AGHHH YES, honestly Susie's backstory got stuck in my head after seeing it for the first time. She's so much of a deeper character than she showed in the first two chapters, I'm glad she found actual friends and is willing to be herself more.

"Kris, you've got a good mother. It'd be a shame to make her bury her child."

[tsukkomicoder]

The Roaring Knight encounter at the end of Chapter 3 is a masterclass at showing you that the REAL protagonist of Deltarune isn't Kris - it's Susie.

This doesn't really make much sense at first glance - you can't even really FIGHT the thing on equal footing without the Shadow Mantle, and to even get that Kris has to go through a harrowing gauntlet and fight a whole OTHER secret boss that doesn't even use the battle mechanics we've grown accustomed to. Kris Suffers to get that item, the one thing that can let them stand up to the Knight's merciless assaults. Hell, the game won't even let you retry if you lose until you have the Mantle in your possession. You would therefore assume that the Mantle belongs to Kris, and that they are the ones who should wear it.

And yet. Even when you don't have this item, who stands up to defy it? Susie. Who stops it from doing... whatever it was trying to do to Toriel, TWICE? Susie. And who gives chase across the boundary between light and dark, across the entirety of hometown, to stop it from abducting Undyne? Why, it's Susie. Her actions are those of a hero standing up to a terrible villain of unknowable power, and she does it without a shred of hesitation, even faced with the very real prospect of being killed.

And if that were it, it'd be kind of boring. But that's not it at all, because the reinforcement of this idea continues into the fight itself. Because if you can keep Susie alive for five turns, she starts monologuing against the boss, telling it how much it sucks and that she'll always have her friends behind her.

The Knight is presented to us as unknowable, invincible, unstoppable. Regular attacks bounce off of its absurdly high HP, it cannot be Checked like a normal enemy, attempts to reason with it fall on deaf ears. And yet, what's the one spell that can meaningfully hurt the Knight, to the point of temporarily disrupting its form? Susie's Rude Buster.

And then, when you throw yourself at the Knight again and again, trying to figure out its weakness, trying to outlast its brutal onslaught, it hits you - the Shadow Mantle does NOTHING for Kris in this fight, but it does EVERYTHING for Susie. Susie's the one doing all the damage. Susie's high HP perfectly compliments the shadow mantle's protection against the Knight's more absurd attacks. Ralsei has no way to meaningfully contribute to the fight at all, and while Kris can use Hold Breath to give the SOUL a boost, their utility begins and ends there. The most that either of them can really do is to act as TP and healing bots for Susie, and to equip weak armours that have beneficial effects, such as the TwinRibbon, Silver Watch, Blue Ribbon, TensionBow and Lodestone - the effects of these items persist regardless of whether the character wearing them is DOWNed or not, and, you guessed it, are equipped not to help them survive, but to allow them to support Susie even when incapacitated.

Then you start seeing it in other areas. Who is it that facilitates change in the other characters - Ralsei, Noelle, Berdly? Susie does, each and every time. She effortlessly upends their own myopic views of the world, defying them to change and be better, without even really realising that's what she's doing - is it any wonder that EVERYONE in the main cast seems to have a thing for her? She's magnetic in the way that heroes are, not despite her brashness and short temper but BECAUSE of them - because she cuts so effortlessly through the FICTIONS that other characters cling to, the stories they tell themselves about who they are, what they can do, and how they ought to be. Susie shatters those preconceptions and offers an alternative - live how you want to live, make the choices that you want to make, and let no-one else ever tell you who you are.

Susie is the hero of Deltarune, and the Roaring Knight's fight encapsulates why perfectly, without ever once drawing attention to the fact. It's sheer genius on Toby's part and I salute the skill with which it conveys those ideas in such an organic way.

YOU'RE SO GOOD AT POSES AND EXPRESSIONSSSSS OH MY GOODNESS

I love it when old hyperfixations awaken and you let them consume you!!

Can't wait for more peakkkkk

I rewatched this show after 5 years! She has me on a chokehold again despite her arc being... hmm. But she served so much that I can still enjoy it lowkey lolol Real ones might know that I started this art blog with tangled fanart so this is a nostalgic callback to me. I do want to do more fanart, hopefully finished / colored instead of a doodle page, but I don't want to promise anything just in case I backtrack :")

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!! I love angst...
