Kris saved my gender lmao
Deltarune is one of THE most important parts of me accepting myself as nonbinary.
I've always struggled with being queer, with alternating periods of suppressing it and accepting it, never officially coming out in public.
I've identified as nonbinary on and off since 2021; and in 2024, after trying to live as my AGAB for a whole year, Seeing Kris made me break down crying.
Like everything in our society feels so binary, so divided between "male" and "female'; and sometimes I wonder if it's worth it to identify this way. Like, maybe I should be a binary trans person, or just cis; because in what world would something else EVER work in the long term?
But in Deltarune, It's totally different. Kris is nonbinary and it's NORMAL. It's FUCKING RIGHT. Nobody misgenders them, or acts weird or makes jabs about "not being able to tell their gender" or "are u a boy or a girl" or ANYTHING at all. It's SO EASY. Their parents, their teachers, their friends, EVERYBODY JUST TREATS THEM LIKE A NONBINARY PERSON.
And it feels so normal, so normal, that it makes worlds with characters in a strict gender binary feel weird and unnatural.
And I WANT TO LIVE IN THAT NORMAL.
That feeling is what makes me love Deltarune so much. I want to protect that world that feels so kind and accepting towards people like me.
Buttttt.... I have to live in the southern United States in 2025.
I guess that means I have to work hard to try to make our world better for others...... Bluhhhh.... so difficult and scary..........
Anyways in a couple months I'm going to be living at college, and I'm going to try to start living more as myself.
And maybe that'll include having Kris as my preferred name????
Welp I'll try it out for a while, see how it fits!!!
Wow this is super corny lmao
But yea Deltarune is part of what gives me hope as a trans person, and that's a good thing!
Finally, to every LGBTQ+ person who sees this: If you can find hope in something, even if it seems silly, hold onto it. We HAVE to fight hard and outlast the people and systems that try to erase us, even though nobody should need to. Kindness will win in the end, and we have to believe it.
silly hopecore post hahaha!
Kris is the patron saint of nonbinary ppl fr.
