utdr sideblog woohoo!!!

her “defense” is putting her arms up in front of her face like shes blocking a punch, as opposed to something more fantastical, like Kris’s shield or ralsei’s cape

seemed genuinely surprised over getting her own bedroom

frequently seen eating whatever she can get her hands on (the alley milk, chalk, Kris’s shampoo??, etc) ((yes this could just be a bit but it feels more important than that)) + constantly seems to be hungry

^ adding onto that, one of the main ways she shows care for people is by getting them to eat (letting Lancer have the darkcandy, making sure ralsei has a slice of cake, baking the pie with toriel)

^^ adding onto that AGAIN, Ralsei is very careful to make sure Susie always has enough to eat in the dark world (offering to bake for her, filling her fridge)

the other way she shows care for people is by putting herself between them and whatever the threat is

doesn’t claim any of the houses/apartments in town to be hers, and anxiously asks Kris “we’re going to your house, right?” in ch.4

becomes super protective/attached the moment any adult shows her the slightest bit of care and doesn’t treat her like shes “bad” (toriel, old man, etc)

lightworld outfit appears to be pretty tattered, jeans have holes in them

always wanting to go back to the dark world

doesn’t seem like she’s gotten a lot of positive feedback before from teachers/adults (mentions that the old man is the only one whose taught her in a way that didn’t make her feel stupid)

acts violent/mean as a defense mechanism when shes upset (Lancer fight, Ralsei confrontation)

tells Kris that they “have a good mother”, + Toriel was the one who ended up comforting Susie when she was anxious about moving to a new town again, as opposed to her own goddamn parents???

mentions “one of the places I used to live”, implying shes been moved around a lot

doesn’t go to church, like we see many of the other kids doing with their parents/families

everything surrounding the piano incident— nobody stood up for her when she was told she wasn’t allowed to play (like you’d think a parent would), nobody was watching her/stopped her from coming back and smashing it, and nobody ever tried to teach her to play

CONFIRMATION THAT SHE SLEPT IN THE DARK WORLD OVERNIGHT??? bro she hasnt been home in like three days WHY is nobody looking for her

mentions to Noelle that she's used to eating thrown-out leftovers

she's getting advice on dating/relationships from literally everyone BUT her parents. like why is Queen helping her pick a date outfit and not her own real-life mother

tells Kris that she "didnt know their family had problems too"

seeing Toriel drunk scares her out so badly that she spends the entire chapter REFUSING to go back to Kris's house or interact with her at all

WE STILL???? DONT EVEN KNOW HER LAST NAME ????? OR WHAT HER PARENTS LOOK LIKE OR IF SHE HAS A HOUSE LIKE WTF THIS IS CHAPTER FIVE SUSIE WHAT IS YOUR BACKSTORY

straight up tells Blue that she "doesn't know what love means" jesus christ my poor baby oh susie you deserve everything good in the world

this doesnt rly count but oh my god shes so willing to overlook how INCREDIBLY sus Kris is being and it just reads to me as willful ignorance bc shes desperate to not lose one of the only people she has

SHE LITERALLY REFERS TO THE DARKWORLD AS HER HOME. PRIOR TO THAT SHE CALLED KRIS'S HOUSE HER HOME. SHES SO DESPERATE TO BE AWAY FROM WHEREEVER SHE ACTUALLY LIVES. LIKE SHES BEEN TO THESE PLACES MAYBE THREE-FOUR TIMES APIECE??? and theyre still more of a home to her than her own living space susie my baby how bad is your family

I. . . Can't stop drawing them. . .

Based on this! :DD

fun fact: in Japanese, Asgore suggests giving Susie an agave flower instead, also known as "dragon tongue orchid".

...

and Susie will use it to alter the code of the game?

1: writing invalid data or way, WAY more text/data in a field than is expected, overflowing the text field and into the RAM or, in some cases, even the system data (The 3DS had a lot of this. Play animal crossing with the wrong people and your system will actually brick itself thanks to the bulletin board.) More notable examples of this are using letters to write values to your wallet (Also in animal crossing, specifically the japanese version of wild world,) and the infamous "ENGAGE RIDLEY MOTHER FUCKER" password in Super Metroid that would brick your 3DS on the virtual console release.

Considering we've already had some hint of "data being written where it's not supposed to" in Chapter 3, with HERO_SWORD walking outside of the mantle game (Which should be "sandboxed" and self-contained) and able to affect things in the dark world to an extent (the "system data" in this case) it's possible that Susie will find some way to "overflow" something in the dark worlds (what else flows? water of course. what's heavily associated with water in this game? the depths.) in order to affect some other layer of deltarune's reality. She's very frequently shown to take a mile whenever the dark world gives her an inch. As for what exactly she's going to put an absurd amount of data into I have no idea.

Alternatively, ACE can be used to make a game READ data that it's not supposed to. This can, again, be ROM data (just not the part it's supposed to be,) or, more interestingly, the RAM of the game, which is flexible, and therefore controllable. Some examples are 8F and the Coin Case in Pokemon, and the Threed tent glitch in EarthBound. The former points the game to read the party as game logic, which can then be redirected to the bag for more control, causing the game to basically become a programming language in itself. (Seriously, the things people have done to this game are insane.) The latter can do anything from destroying your save to opening a debug menu you can use to edit whatever flags and party information you want.

I think this is the much more interesting possibility for a few reasons. One, in chapter 4 we've had a case of Susie reading something she "wasn't supposed to," that being one part of the prophecy we didn't see. That and Flowery giving her information about how the Dark World works on a technical level. Two, what is a piece of data the game has in it that goes completely unused, and is never pointed to ever by any process in the game? And what would happen if the game was forced to read said data? I'm referring of course to the "lost girl" in the game's code. I feel like Susie might be the one that ends up finding her.
