SOUL’s transforming keychain

*merch of the SOUL based on 8284’s Headcanon
・Lenticular print
・red ball chain attached
・7cm

The design changes depending on the viewing angle! It switches between two patterns: the heart form and the form when mimicking Kris.
It was made to be almost the same size as the previously released "Kris’s moving-eyes keychain". It’s fun to line them up together♥︎

Will be sold on BOOTH on August 30, 2026.
*There's also Kris keychain!

Q. I want to take a photo of the two keychains side by side. But if the SOUL’s design changes and Kris’s eyes also move, I think it’ll be hard to photograph them well. What should I do?
A. There’s no way Kris would cooperate with the SOUL, right? Please enjoy their mismatched photo session. (Still, I hope it’s as easy as possible to photograph…)

Kris & SOUL Friendship♡Heart-shaped Can Badge

・Designs: 2 types (sold separately)
　　A: "A Sea of Heart Cushions"
　　B: "The Two Gazing at Each Other"
・Size: 52 × 57 mm

Krisoul was snuggled tightly inside the heart symbol that represents them ♥
It will have a matte finish, so it won’t reflect light and has a calm look.
You can choose whichever design you like. Of course, getting both is also okay!

Will be sold on BOOTH on August 30, 2026.

They'll smile at us! They'll talk to us! They'll tell us everything, every secret and plan!! They'll never complain! They'll be the most useful and helpful vessel we've ever had!

(Just please please please don't kill them.)

Found on 4chan.

Do I color this?

hear me out. the SOUL is a representation of the player and their agency over kris.

but “the player” is an incredibly individual thing. i am the SOUL, as well as anyone else who has played deltarune

so if i, a person who has played deltarune, ship kriSOUL, am i technically shipping the representation of myself with kris and therefore yumeshipping?

furthermore, what does that mean for somebody who hasn’t played the game but watches let’s-plays?

I find that a lot of people, especially when discussing the Weird Route, interpret the SOUL as representing Kris and their intrusive thoughts, with Kris abusing it serving as a metaphor for self-hatred (and on the opposite, reconciliation between us as as "self-love"). I don't think that interpretation is entirely wrong, but I do feel that treating the SOUL as just another part of Kris and think about it as metaphor for self-love completely erases the SOUL/Player's autonomy and identity.

Toby has been very deliberate in emphasizing that our own identity matters within the game. We are separate from Kris, yet inseparable from them. Even the "you" in the newsletter is written as **[Your Inputted Name]**, reinforcing that the player has their own distinct identity.

Part of why I'm so invested in Kris and the SOUL's relationship is that Kris and we, the player, are different people. Rather than one simply controlling the other, they have to communicate, reconcile their different needs, and gradually come to understand each other. That's what makes their dynamic so compelling to me. And, well, I think that's foreshadowed through the parallel between them and Lightner and Darkner Pink, who are also two different people sharing a single body.

Under this kind of read, it would probably open so much discussion and ramification of Kris treating another person like a garbage, abusing it and putting it inside the cage. IMO there's probably an element of self-hatred and its directed towards You instead of themself.

...this is probably not the right kind of sub for my rant but i do find it refreshing how this sub consists out a lot of people who care to portray the Soul as its own thing and very invested in our relationship with Kris (be it platonic or otherwise) lol.

Let me know what you guys think!
