it's like everything was taken apart and put back together by someone who doesn't understand how it works. (7 weeks.)

hc: dess was her original prophecy's dragon (hence the susie - gerson parallel) and noelle was the girl who found love, who was meant to be dead - to save her sister, dess broke the prophecy and became the knight

Queen is still conceptually one of the best characters toby has ever made i think

[whathappenedtodecember]

for what it's worth if chapter 7 reveals what kris has been up to all along and it turns out they aren't a perfect person (just like chara) and people revert back to calling them evil i'm gonna start living in people's walls and bursting their pipes

[whathappenedtodecember]

not to belabor the point and not pretending this isn't personally motivated since i'm neutral negative on the susie is a hybrid theory, but how likely is it that she only bleeds in the dark world because she thinks she's /supposed/ to, and she never knows any better?

has susie bled in the light world?

more hc. i think dessriel was a situationship. much love and joy for the canon girlfriends dessriel reading but i do think they were fully making out unlabelled. there's a doomed yuri element to it even when they were still family friends, like they know they were running on borrowed time or that they weren't supposed to be together like that. listens to mitski the best american girl again and cries

Hello can you please draw more Berdly angst please-- 🙏

(your style is so wonderful, I've been a big fan for like, 3 years now xD)

ask and you shall receive. especially if it’s my favorite character.

ALSO THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH im so flattered

[whathappenedtodecember]

my hc is that while noelle is a softer goody-two-shoes (rudy's humor and personality, carol's principle), dess is a stern rebel (carol's humor and personality, rudy's principle)

[whathappenedtodecember]

i love the interesting little character tidbits we get about carol. she's not just cold and cruel. she's, like, really weird. like, she loves to collect things - little singing robot santas, heart-shaped pillows - and they're very precious to her. she's obsessed with preserving the things she loves - she keeps everything locked down at home, she had her daughter's paper snowflakes bronzed so they could never be destroyed. she has multiple katanas (????????)

wow this is really clever because [USA law that isn't applicable in the country this is happening in]!

OP you need to get a lawyer because [USA law that isn't applicable in the country this is happening in]!

um but it's literally illegal for them to [thing that isn't illegal in the country this is happening in]

I'd really recommend you contact [US group who aren't in the country this is happening in]

Choices when talking to Ralsei in Deltarune feel like this

[whathappenedtodecember]

...you know, sometimes, between how:

noelle seems to be a video game glitch / creepypasta / weirdness magnet (from when she was fairly young if we believe the ice-e story)

the fact that she's the one with the power to divert the plot in a significant manner thanks to the... effectiveness of her ice magic

the whole plot to find dess being an active story hook (whereas asriel's return is simply a waiting game)

the way the secret bosses are attached to her (jevil smiling at her, everything that was revealed with the spamton sweepstakes)

*all the angel symbolism around her*

the dragon blazers parallels

and now the stuff with her expressing interest in using both swords and armor like kris does...

between all that, sometimes, i can't help but wonder if she was, in some in-universe earlier version of "deltarune", meant to be the protagonist. maybe with her and a non-possessed kris as the two lightner heroes, before susie was, i suppose, added somehow (she is, after, the newest girl, and doesn't yet seem to have a place she belongs in hometown).

[whathappenedtodecember]

> red hearts in the holidays' house + dess's room, as housewarming when dess first arrived. snowballed as collection

> second girl in the prophecy doesn't have antlers. if people can hc that ralsei is kris's red headband then i can hc dess as species-dysphoric a la kris, having attained antlers as the knight

>> see also: sans's casino dialogue "the antlered girl and her sister"

here's how human!dess can still win

[whathappenedtodecember]

weird route = prophecy theory. implies the prophecy was originally violent. (ralsei: 'what if there was a way to win without hurting anyone?' 'i want to believe there's another way!')

concept: dessriel in the original prophecy. we have the girl and the prince. then, the vessel. part of the plot: to derail, kris snatched the soul to prevent it from entering the vessel and enacting the prophecy, instead sacrificing themself as cage for a fighting chance. part of the plot: to derail, asriel invented a fake prince from the dark who believes, above all else, that pacifism will save the day. part of the plot: to derail, (????) moved susie to hometown.

[whathappenedtodecember]

vivacious teacher's favorite (see: gerson's image, teaching susie through dess's perception of him) is gone off the surface of the earth and the only people looking for her is her family. everyone else is all azzy azzy azzy. guy who's still alive and in college. not even the firewood girl (who mentioned also having been taught by gerson) mentioned dess.

ah fuck. maybe they're only mentioning azzy because they're small-town tiptoeing around dess. and invoking him is a secondhand way of saying that they miss dess (in addition to handwavey 'of course, kris, since everything happened' and all).

the thing about dess's hauntology is that not enough people are haunted by her
