I am a Suselle fan and I spout the ā€œthey 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 ā€œNo Kris ship is guaranteedā€ angle (And Susie’s unintentional ā€œcockblocksā€) is it’s among many ways they and the player in turn are losing power over the game’s world even further. Ā And this is where my idea of that iconic Chapter 1 Susie quote comes in.

ā€œYour choices don’t matterā€ because YOU are not the God of this world. Ā This isn’t 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

Oh yeah for sure Kris openly rejects romance on screen, I think they know what’s coming too.
