But I Dare Be Wanted

Who could’ve predicted that?

Ps I loved hearing the discourse in the last one over whether or not he’d do this lol. <3

This idea just would not leave my head until drawn

Guyssss this movie is in my bloodstream!

So you remember this line? Where Noelle makes it sound like she and Kris only hung out by proximity and their families being friends rather than genuine friendship between the two of them? (And the entire fanbase went "me when I lie"?) That's a pretty natural read on her wording; but after some lines here and there around chapter 5, in both the normal and weird routes, I don't think that's exactly what she meant.

I think she might've meant that she feels like she forced Kris into her proximity.

I think when the two were kids, Noelle was the kind of pushy and bossy one of the duo. Kris would prank her a lot, sure; but on the whole their dynamic was a lot of her telling them what to do.

Or at the very least, I think she may see it that way looking back. I can't say we have enough evidence to say this was actually true (although that would be a pattern for Kris if so); but from these lines, especially on the ferris wheel, I think it's possible she saw it that way. It's pretty natural to overinflate your own 'wrongdoings' like that; just ask Yellow.

But then Kris starts pulling away. For Dess-related reasons in reality, maybe with some troubled home life reasons and Carol's conspiracy reasons mixed in there too; but to Noelle, that could've also been proof Kris never even really liked hanging out with her: They were just forced together by circumstance of their family being close, and Noelle made Kris do what she wanted the whole time. Obviously Kris hated her presence all along, and now that those circumstances have changed, they must be so happy to be rid of her, and to not get dragged around everywhere by her, and...oh hey, there's some parallels between the Kris & the player here. Like I said, this is a pattern for Kris. End result: despite Kris being the one she was closest too as a kid, Noelle can't really say in hindsight if what they had was friendship.

Rudy is my favorite character, no notes. Wanted to make a dark world design for him purely because I haven't seen any!!

Always bet on rudyknight.
