realized i should possibly make a pinned post at some point only 5 years into running this blog. i'm so good at bios
hi! my name is risk (but i'm fine with krisp), i'm 35, white, tme, and use any pronouns. this is my deltarune sideblog; my main is at @birdnormal .
things you'll find here include my fics (check the krisp fic tag), my theories and ideas, various headcanons, and me just saying "kris dreemurr" repeatedly for some reason. i also reblog fanart i see and like, and sometimes i report on fandom news sporadically and badly.
i have a few general rules and guidelines under the cut, plus a sense of what you can expect here!
so let's get the big things out of the way. do not interact with me if:
you misgender any of the they/them users in utdr
you ship minors and adults, or ship family members (asriel and chara are family)
i would prefer to not receive asks about, discuss, or post:
kris/ralsei
kris/berdly
king spades (especially 'king spades is a good person' stuff)
artwork where kris and frisk are bright yellow (i will sometimes reblog things w the official sprites)
anything abt romantic attraction from players to the teen characters (or really any selfshipping but like. i'm 35.) this one isn't really problematic i just am the last person to go to for it
the deadnames or agab of any of the nb/trans characters (update to this: i see kris as transfem agender. this rule still applies generally, just Especially don't talk about them being transmasc to me)
this also isn't really a dni note but I do strongly appreciate it if asks do contain something i can meaningfully respond to. if you have a headcanon or fanwork or essay or whatever you'd just like me to share, please put it on your own blog and send me a link. i do not like being the "source" for other people's stuff
you'll note if you stick around that my general theory slant is towards kris being the most important character in deltarune and i tend to speculate in that direction. accordingly, i tend to think kris is the primary knight (update: oops), kris is the narrator, and there is no third entity. this isn't really like stopping me from reconsidering (toby has now forced me to), just "what if it's chara" usually won't get much of a reply from me
i take player theory as the default and will post about it pretty regularly
there's a few post-3+4 theories that I feel may or may not be "correct", but that I find useful enough to treat as a baseline to do other things with. if you're wondering what I'm talking about with any of these, here's a handy reference:
the Knight is at least partially Dess, but not wholly; key things have been lost or distorted, and she's split across worlds in meaningful and painful ways. she is not fully coherent or aware.
Carol is trying to fix Dess at any cost. she is part of what pulled a partial Dess out of the dark and is able to direct the knight a little. she's the phone voice.
Kris blames themself for what happened to Dess, and has promised to do anything to help her. Carol has used that to coerce them into taking increasingly self-destructive actions. becoming the cage/vessel was their "willing" choice, if one they increasingly regret
their original soul, possibly manifested as their dark world form, has been deliberately separated from them and frozen/entrapped/suspended in some way. this is why they can't go to the dark world soulless; they'd die lol
i post a fair mix of angst and humor, especially kris-focused angst. i do tag all weird route related stuff with #weird route if that bothers you any! (the tag used to be #snowgrave, so older stuff is under that)
i reserve the right to block, delete asks, not answer asks, etc but will mostly only do so if you like really violate good sense

Yep! Thats right! The character whos whole story arc involves feeling stuck in place, unable to change their fate or even act for themselves transitioned off screen before the narrative began. Youre so good at this
can I say on the record I'm still deeply happy abt male blue and female orange. over a decade of "the nice fallen children were female the active fallen children were male" destroyed

Do you have any theory on how Kris knew they'd be able to bribe Seth with one of Berdlys feathers? Since this was the first time the flowers were ever in a dark world, they couldn't have actually talked to them beforehand.
i do genuinely wonder if theres some way for kris/the knight to do some Liminal Dark bullshit for darkner negotiations. that or kris looked at this purple flower and went oh this one has shit taste
everyone owes Green $5. Flowery owes them $5. Queen owes them $5. Snowy owes them $5. Sans owes them $500. Gaster owes them $5. Even the SOUL, the conduit of everyone's connection to Deltarune, owes them $5. Only exception is spamton because his vibes were genuinely too rancid for even Green (and they dont know how to convert dark dollars into kromer anyway).
what do you think of flowery now that itβs been a month since chapter 5?
jarona! jarona! jarona! HERE I COME SAN FRANDISCOOOOjarona! mostlys! theyre eating my flesh! jarona! jarona! hey guys, i think i found a glue! ja-st kidding! jarona! glue! i'm falling! jarona! jarona! jarona!
when did kris steal berdly's feather. did they just sneak up on him and Yank. what was their excuse. "KRIS?!" "i need this for a school project" "oh, ok"
kris is constantly plucking berdlys feathers for various purposes ranging from spite to sinister magics

I don't think Galsei will be what breaks the prophecy. Mainly because, if that was what they were so utterly terrified of letting themselves be, I don't think they'd so casually offer Kris the choice of being their princess. I think they have something else they're hiding about themselves.
galsei repression is a symptom rather than the full cause (and also its own thing with its own causes that overlaps). ralsei is so scared of Anything going wrong and the big Prince sign is one possible thing among many. it's not the most important component and it's one they feel they can safely bend a Little, especially as they bend ones like "being alone" and "not having hope", but it's still the case they're so scared one wrong push could break things

has chapter 5 changed your idea of what the final tragedy will be or is it still the same as before it dropped (unless you aren't thinking about it too hard which is also cool)
it hasn't really changed! i still maintain whatever the fuck it is the main thing im sure of is kris thinks it involves their death
