Character has a wholesome facade as a main personality trait but also there's clearly something messed up going on with them that has to do with the main plot. Fandom reaction problem:
"Secretly Evil!!!!!!" camp <- doesn't pay attention to the characterization or themes beyond the sus moments. To them The Character is like a jack-in-a-box waiting to spring on the audience and little else.
"They did nothing wrong!!! >:(((" camp <- yeah they're suspicious but they're probably just a woobie who's just Trying Their Best:tm: and who are probably justified in everything they do. Will complain about the author "hating" the character if they do something downright morally uncomfortable or even mildly unpleasant.
"Hey maybe we should pay attention as to why The Character acts the way they do, regardless of if they're justified or not. Maybe they are doing unjustifiably evil things, but not necessarily out of malice. Whatever the case their motivations are probably part of the themes the work is trying to explore." camp <- will get lumped with group 1. Not even necessarily a minority in the fandom, but the other camps latch on to their arguments to artificially inflate their own numbers.

“And if anyone’s going to get hurt… Let it … just be me, okay?”
Chapter 4 more like. Ralsei I’m so sorry for ever doubting you. I thought you were being suspicious but it twas I who was in the wrong.
ALSO this whole piece was inspired by the fact that, during my 10 hours straight playing through the chapters, I kept taking screenshots - and since the camera lingered on Ralsei when Kris & Susie went off to seal the fountain in the First Sanctuary, i thought it was poignant enough to have screenshotted it. And obviously the quote is from the convo that happened later on.
I have sooo many crazy ideas for art its like crazy because I need everyone else to be done playing chapter four NOW!!!!!!!!

i know there was a lot of theorizing about if ralsei likes the player rather than kris, but a very small detail has cemented in my mind that ralsei does indeed like kris. perhaps he also likes the player, but he definitely sees kris as their own person that he is forming a connection with as well. because in chapter 4, after susie finds out about the prophecy, when you leave... ralsei calls out to make sure kris hears: he thought their piano playing was cool. something that was 100% entirely kris, no player input, a trait specific to them. and its sort of an odd comment after the highly emotional scene he and susie went through, and, like, entirely unrelated to all of that. BUT. theres a reason for it. through that compliment hes trying to say that he sees kris, he likes kris, he knows kris. whether or not he knows kris is being possessed, hes making an effort to show that... regardless... kris as a person is someone that matters to him. not just the player

god i literally cannot stop thinking about susie asking ralsei to come to the festival with them and getting sad when he says he can't and then ralsei's like "i'm sorry, if you ever get disappointed by lancer and i, the things we can't do, please just forget about us and go make some real friends!" like jesus christ. perhaps unintentional parallel to being disabled but jesus fucking christ that hit me so hard. he's just like me. he's *choking* just like me.......

32/64: we're halfway there... but ralsei doesn't know that (text transcript under the cut)
(I wonder what they're doing right now.) (I hope they're asleep…)
(Or, maybe, it's already morning? They could be combing their hair, or brushing their teeth…) … … (That's a nice thought.)
(Do they wonder about me, too?) … (I hope not.)

Guide for the Eldarya guards to help ppl or smth<3
Obsidian Guard: fighters
Absynthe Guard: thinkers
Shadow Guard: lurkers
Light Guard: ASSHOLES. POLITICIANS.
Of course Eldarya's world is very diverse and the guard does not define one's personality or – but especially – their fashion and color styles, just reflecting parts of their style of living and thinking!<3 so don't feel bad for not fitting the stereotype!
Unless you're one of those.

My custard cookie the third thoughts.
So I was looking at my kingdom and I realize that custard would live in the castle in game.  so that got me thinking.
custard is recognized as the actual king. Like out of all of the ginger gang, I feel like he would actually read up on etiquette and kingdom management.
Chili pepper cookies reputation has softened a little bit since she lives in the castle with her son/brother. There’s whispers of the great chili pepper cookie being the lapdog of a king but even lap dogs bite. 
I do think that throughout the story mode of the game, the ginger gang grows up a little bit so at some point when custard becomes a teenager, he is properly recognized as the king of the kingdom. 
I do believe he is crowned king before he meets his grandfather, custard cookie, the first. Mostly because I wanna see where custard the first goes to the kingdom and refuses to believe that custard the third is the actual king.
Of course everyone was at first like are we sure that we can trust a child with the intricate knowledge of the kingdom? especially as it started to grow. But custard is just so sincere about how King should be a servant of the people and is so open to feedback that everyone’s just like yeah might as well be happening.
Which is save the idiots who declare war on his kingdom my boy has allies on allies. All the ancients love him if you declare war on the cookie Kingdom, you’re screwed.
I think I said this before to someone else, but I like to think that pure vanilla and custard the third our secretly built. Like yeah they’re healers, but they’re also shield bearers. They put up a force field of magic, and I like to think they would still have to dig in their feet and take the hits, not as directly as a normal shield, but still, they feel it.
Pure vanilla is not happy on how custard the first treats custard the third. PV call custard the first the other custard, just to make a mad.
I might do more of these. I love my silly little guy!

Been thinking about my crystal holder guide au again (pair of aus where ralsei and one the secret bosses swap). Considering spamton’s motives in canon, i think in this au, it would make sense that he would accept gaster’s offer if he thinks it will help him ‘become bigger’/attain the freedom he so desperately desires (after all gaster’s stated goal is to ‘create a new future’ for the world of deltarune, aka change fate, with the help of a higher power, us. Maybe gaster said something like that to convince him?).
Sure he’s helping to save the world and is..actually starting to like and befriend kris and susie as of the first 2 or 3 chapters, but his motives are at their core, selfish. Depending on what happens later in the game, i easily can see him going eventually rogue or becoming an antagonist, especially on a weird route (if it continues past chapter 2. I don’t think he’ll have much of a role in it in ch2 in this au like he did in canon since he’s with susie for much of it)
