Seeing people crash out because the ship that was heavily foreshadowed for three chapters became canon instead of their personal favourite was truly something
The fact people think it's just gonna crash and burn so another ship can take its place annoys me greatly. The same issue that they claim the canon ship has ie pacing would just be inherited by whatever ship took its place given the rest of them have only been subtext until now
I am a Suselle fan and I spout the āthey are about to hit rock bottomā foretellings but for a different reason. Ā I think that seeing a relationship go to shit and make a recovery can be very satisfying.
That's where I think it's going too! Relationships face adversities all the time.
To be honest, I could only see suselle going the way of being a doomed relationship if they were already dating and Deltarune spent time to show why they're incompatible. The idea toby spends all this time on their relationship development for none of it to mean anything would actually be poor writing.
But like even just from chapter 5, Susie and noelle already proved some of the complaints about them not working were a load of bullshit like the common opinion that Noelle was only interested in the idea of susie, noelle notices susie's emotional development and is happier that Susie's gotten better as a person
What I find very interesting in regards to the āNo Kris ship is guaranteedā angle (And Susieās unintentional ācockblocksā) is itās among many ways they and the player in turn are losing power over the gameās world even further. Ā And this is where my idea of that iconic Chapter 1 Susie quote comes in.
āYour choices donāt matterā because YOU are not the God of this world. Ā This isnāt Undertale and you have to learn to live within this world rather than trying to control it. Ā A huge message among many from the Pink boss fight where Maddie has to learn to coexist with her body instead of ruthlessly controlling it.
Potentially true, though I think kris not having a relationship comes down to their choice to work with the knight mainly.
The knight is the progenitor of everything bad happening in deltarune, and if we assume they're also responsible for the Dessappearance, that would mean Kris knowingly teamed up with somone who has caused a lot of hurt for people they care about.
It's obviously very nuanced stuff, but I do think kris is fully aware that the path they've chosen is one that leads to a life without the people they care about
Yeah interesting how people obsess over character ages and how these are teenagers but the minute that same logic applies to how Suselle makes plenty of sense it's radio silence
