Hey Tumblr, your security is super important to us. In light of a recent surge in scams, we want to make sure you have all the tools and knowledge to keep your account safe:

Verify the source: If someone claiming to be from Tumblr Support reaches out, always check the sender's email address. Official Tumblr communication will come from tumblr.com or tumblr.zendesk.com domains, and Tumblr will never contact you via another platform.

Don’t click suspicious links: Check the destination of a URL before clicking, and look for anything that doesn't seem right, such as a misspelled website name. 

Recognize phishing: Phishing messages or emails often try to create a sense of urgency ("Your account will be suspended if you don't click here now!"). They might also contain grammatical errors or poor formatting. 

Never share your password: Tumblr staff will never ask you for your password. If anyone asks for your password, it's a scam.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): This adds an extra layer of security. Even if someone gets your password, they can't access your account without the second verification step. You can enable 2FA in your account settings.

For more on avoiding scams and keeping your account safe, check out the Help Center. 

In media, usually the female lead is reduced to being nothing more than an extension of her love interest, the main male character. She doesn’t have opinions or thoughts outside of wanting to ensure the wellbeing of her love interest. She can’t exist without him. She’s just supposed to take whatever shit her love interest gives her. When authors want to make her a strong independent woman, they will often draw attention to her physical strength so she doesn’t look weak or helpless compared to the male protagonist.

In the Weird Route, Noelle becomes physically stronger, but it’s because we’ve psychologically manipulated her into listening to our every word and putting her complete trust in Kris despite the fact we’re making them tell Noelle to kill people. Noelle recognizes that she’s getting stronger. She brushes aside her concerns about the gaps in her memory because Kris is telling her what to do, and she’s getting stronger because they’re telling her what to do, and it’s good that she’s getting stronger, right? But she actually gets weaker. When you meet up with Queen again after all this time, she says that Noelle is in no position to help her, implying the Weird Route has drained her of the determination she needs to open a fake fountain. The Weird Route teaches her to depend on Kris, to take the shit we force them to give her. If you choose to spectate her in Chapter Four after putting the ThornRing onto her, she shakily says “thank you” despite how scared she was when it happened.

And that's our fault.

I love kris, and i want them to be happy of course, but they literally CANNOT be happy, they can NEVER be a normal teenager if we're possessing them.

In my opinion, Toby fox will keep on hinting at some ships here and there, maybe more blushy kris around Susie, or overall being tender with Ralsei, or whatever Toby is going to do with Berdly or whatever.

But never make them kiss or become official or anything. Because that simply can't happen with us there.

So probably the game will end with only Susie and Noelle becoming a thing, leaving Kris single for their sake. (It's ok Kris, it's not that bad). Or either something big will be hinted at the end of the game that we PURPOSELY will not be able to see.

Because we're not meant to see. After the game ends, what Kris does, who they date, will be none of our business.

It finally happened. After some romancing in the ballpit, we popped the question and, folks, THEY SAID YES. 

In short, we're in love! Now, we're in need of a ship name. Can you help? Vote below, or let us know if you come up with something better. This is now a matter of grave importance.

(Thanks to all the folks on X who added some excellent (& some funny) suggestions to our little list)

Anyway, the fan art is already absolutely incredible, thank you for celebrating with us:
