hello I am yes person

Asriel - 'Azzy'. This is known. It was very hard for them to pronounce his name when they were little and it's probably part of the anxieties at the root of this behavior.

Dess - 'Dess'! May have originated from the Holidays but same rationale as Asriel. Started calling her 'starlight' to tease her after overhearing Carol calling her that, and in that regard (annoying her) it works. Will also work properly when they make out at the end of the game

Noelle - 'Elly'; 'Angel'. Kris didn't want her to feel left out. Also Noelle insisted on being called Angel for two weeks when she was little and Kris just never stopped.

Berdly - 'Bluebird'. Meant to call him this to insult him but it made him blush instead. That is when Kris realized their power.

Catti - She came up with Madame Moonless Darkness Greythorn herself as a witchsona, and Kris shortens it regularly.

Susie - 'Killer'. A classic. Fit her facade perfectly and works like crazy on her when they say it with fondness.

Ralsei - 'My prince(ss)', 'Your Highness', etc. I mean. basically anything Kris called them would work on Ralsei but playing up the knight/royalty dynamic really gets to her.

Hathies/Head Hathies - Already well-known around Castle Town as Kris's 'little kisses'. Yes, they DO still think about this.

King - Does not want to admit he likes being talked to by Kris at all, let alone that he'd also like a pet name. Kris dislikes him too much.

Jevil - Called him 'Jingles' once and he was so tickled by it that he never lets them forget it. Kris regrets their words and deeds.

Queen - 'Wire mom'. Queen's aware of the wordplay here and smirks every time. Actively tried to get Kris to call her MILF. That had about the effect one could expect.

Tasque Manager - Accidentally called her 'mommy' during their battle and they both refuse to acknowledge this. But they still know what happened. They know.

Spamton - 'Little mailman'. Very much not meant flirtatiously but it still works kinda. He doesn't know what to make of it.

Tenna - Actually got his name from Kris, but now that they know he considers it his Name it triggers their avoidant tendencies. They tried calling him 'cathode'. He does not like it.

Miss Mizzle - Demands sole ownership of all the pet names Kris has for Ralsei. They flatly refuse.

Yellow - 'Lawman', 'Hayseed', etc. The only one of the flowers Kris felt comfortable giving nicknames. He's downright chuffed about them.

Pink - Kinda too flustered themself that she's expressed interest in them. Can't come up with anything more clever than 'kitty' at this time as a result.

Just remember, the game has confirmed the SOUL is Kris's, not a parasite. And each chapter sees them getting better, not worse, as their connection with Susie and Ralsei improves. And that connection exists because of their SOUL. They literally remove it, not to gain freedom from the player (they've already established they can do what they want, and every dialogue choice comes from them, not out of the ether) but to hide the code information from Susie. Because they know, because of their growing fondness of Susie, they couldn't help but attempt to tell her the code if they discovered it

On top of the game consistently referring to "you" the one experiencing the game, and "you" the human Kris, interchangeably. It's your SOUL and Kris's SOUL, because the narration uses "you" to refer to Kris all the time

The question asked when fighting the Titan Spawn is "When did you start being yourself?" Not "When did you STOP being yourself?" And the game has already provided a partial answer: on the status menu where it describes Kris's stats, it reads "Kris" followed by "since chapter 1". (or whatever chapter you started a new save on). The name of that variable that records what the starting chapter is?

saw this on Insta and the idea that people who are anti-AI are just using it anyway like... willing to give it up? I ACTIVELY AVOID THAT SHIT BUD! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?

ALSO

I'm not saying that as a riff on this guy posting, either! This is not an insult. This is a heads up about a genuine red flag.

If you cannot imagine yourself getting through even a single workday without your coping mechanism, you are struggling with addiction.

If you cannot imagine ANYONE ELSE ever getting through a single workday without also using your coping mechanism, you are severely struggling with addiction.

That's one of the more heinous parts of AI. Yes, it destroys the planet. Yes, it results in jacked up RAM prices and loud data centers cropping up like weeds in neighborhoods. But it is also literally addictive to use if you're stressed out by work and seeking an easy source of dopamine, reassurance, and companionship.

This tradition of depicting Hercules as Buddha’s bodyguard started in the Greco-Bactrian kingdom of Gandhara, a part of Northern India conquered by Alexander the Great. This is important because Gandhara just happens to be the place Buddhism spread to the far east (it’s “the west” in the famous Chinese novel Journey to the West). 

Hercules acquired a scary, bestial mien and thunderbolt swords in Asia via association with Buddhist guardian monsters, the Vajrapani, who had the traditional job of protecting the Buddha. Hercules and the Vajrapani were confused with each other and traits of one rubbed off on the other. This slowly transformed him into a thunderer all the way to Japan and Vietnam.
