TLDR:

Each one of them gives something to the table every ship is missing overall. Suselle is sweet but missing closeness, Krusie has chemistry but is missing maturity, and Kriselle has tension but is missing boldness. All three of them are very well written and unique to where all three ships are very well made and they all have their own type of chemistry with one another.

SUSELLE

"Suselle is stereotypical, boring, and Noelle only likes Susie from the outside" NONE OF THOSE ARE TRUE!! IF YOU ACTUALLY GAVE A FUCK ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE CHARACTERS (esp Noelle) THEN YOU'LL UNDERSTAND.

First stereotypical is only bad when the stereotype is harmful and shallow. Yes it is nerd x strong girl all over again but Noelles whole personality and reasoning for liking Susie isnt that she wants to be saved by some strong butch. She likes Susie because she hates the part of herself that is vulnerable all the time. This is seen throughout the whole game, her father mentions how she gets like "A deer stuck in headlights" when facing her fears, and shes actively trying to be better by exposing herself and eventually feeling comfort in scary things. This is why she adores Susie because she wants to be stronger and the same thing people hate about Susie, Noelle loves and appreciates. (Kriselle part goes abit more into Noelle)

And also Susie definetly likes Noelle back. Have some media literacy people!! Susie is constantly trying to know what Noelle thinks of her, shes always asking questions of if Noelle thinks/dreams of her. She doesnt do that with anyone else. And Susie 'spared' her because she thought her smile was nice?? After chapter 2 she also talks and thinks about Noelle pretty frequently. Thinking about what Noelle would do or like, we dont obviously see into her thoughts all the time but that just proves that when she thought about what Noelle would do that its something to note. Though its not implicitly stated, Susie does have feelings towards Noelle and likely doesnt know what romantic love feels like. Also she tells Kris to look for the clues instead of her despite knowing Kris is close to Noelle more, maybe im looking into it too much but shes definetly interested in knowing more about Noelle and wanting to know what Noelle thinks of her. She never cares about that with others thinks until theyre close.

The two of them together two have really good chemistry. Noelle needs someone who can put her out of her comfort zone and matches her freak (in scary things.) Meanwhile Susie needs someone who can give her reassurance, love her flaws, and be mature enough that Susie doesnt accidentally do something stupid.

KRUSIE

Kris and Susie definetly have the best chemistry out of all the ships. The shippers piss me off though, the 'Cuckelle' memes is really disgusting considering thats a highschool girl youre talking about and the image is likely from rule 34. Theyre the whole reason im making this post in the first place cause yall just dont care about Noelle and it shows. So if you skipped the Suselle part, go the fuck back and maybe try to actually understand Noelle. (Im not saying all Krusie shippers are misogynistic, but this is constantly happening with fandoms hating or ignoring feminine women because they get 'in the way of a ship'. This is why ship wars are always happening because you refuse to see every character equally and respect others opinion)

Im not saying all Krusie shippers, just ignorant ones. If you dont think youre apart of that then its not directed to you. -- This was mainly aimed at tiktok people, idk about tumblr shippers but yall seem chill

Anyways!! Krusie is very much peak and I SWEAR Tricky Tony is hinting at it. YOU CAN NOT TELL ME THAT THAT SCENE WHERE KRIS PULLS SUSIE, IT WASNT IMPLYING THEY WERE ABOUT TO KISS. Like the build up hello?? for the arguments

"Susie used to bully Kris so its weird" Which I feel is a somewhat valid argument for not liking it especially if you have been bullied before, but them as characters make it work. Susies bullying came from a place of jealousy, it hasnt been stated yet but Susie obviously has a bad home life. When Susie mentioned her being treated by Toriel at the Diner, at that point Susie started seeing Toriel as an idolized maternal figure. It seems like every scene Susie was being mean to Kris, she mentions their mom. Susies frustration to Kris comes from a bad childhood and maybe also because shes afraid Toriel told Kris about Susies soft side so tries to seem tougher around them? But not sure.

Kris doesnt give a fuck, or atleast tries to show that they dont. On Noelles blog when she was writing about Susie picking on Kris, Kris seems very nonchalant about everything, even laughing and then saying something to make Susie immediately run off. It may also seem like Kris is just acting but even during the game when Susie almost bites off their head, they just dont move or struggle. (They can move without our influence, just not certain choices and gameplay). Though we dont know why Kris isnt responsive, its likely that they just dont care or some people think they may be suicidal, but I (want to) believe more in the first reason. They understand Susies pain and insecurities and they know she wont actually cause any harm. Though if the second reason they might not care because they dont care about what happens to them, or worse they like that Susie harms them... Getting abit dark, I love character examinations tho so I really might do one of kris one day. >:)

Now for the present, all of their interactions literally make me say "I love these two so much", theyre both just weirdos with maybe violent tendancies and trauma but seem to find comfort with one another which makes everything so much better. They are constantly saving one another, Susie also expresses alot of guilt that they werent friends before. I feel that in future chapters we'll likely go into that hopefully. Susie also gives Kris a sense of freedom. Kris very obviously hates their situation that they have no choice in what to do oe say, Susie just does whatever she wants. Shes constantly dismissing the players choice and pointing out certain things that Kris themself does. She is what Kris needs, someone that they can be goofy with and forget that theyre being controlled. Though, this ship is also a breeding ground for angst

Susie doesnt know Kris. Though Kris's personality shines out sometimes, theres scenes where its obvious that she doesnt understand them. Noelle states that Kris has been acting weird, and its said before Kris knows Noelle better than anyone, this can be seen as vice versa as Noelle was Kris's best friend before they got possessed. But when Noelle says that, Susie says "thats just how Kris is" thinking that Kris is normal when being controlled. Not only that, Susie has major trust issues. She says "Theres nothing I hate more than people who dont tell you the full deal". Theyre really leading us into angst, because Susie is going to be seriously heartbroken when they find out that Kris is in cahoots with the knight (supposedly) and that the person she thought was her first closest friend was actually posessed all along. Also note in the snowgrave route after you and Noelle talk in her room, when youre walking to the chuch with Susie she thinks you were talking bad about her with Noelle. Which KILLS me. Kris isnt able to say anything about it too. It seems like in the snowgrave route Susie is also pretty affected by everything.

Still, I really like the ship based on their chemistry together. Susie is just what Kris needs, platonic or not. Also I love angst but if they dont get a happy ending where Kris and Susie are happy together I will hunt down Tony.

KRISELLE

Besides the very angsty toxic yuri snowgrave route, Kriselle is also very cute and rare in the fandom. Though its not as popular I still think theyre pretty cute for each other and have a good dynamic

Its established that Kris and Noelle were very good childhood friends, and even though its hard to pinpoint their relationship now, they still very clearly care for one another and consistently go out of their way to help one another. (Also though I said besides the snowgrave route, ill still be using it for reference). For Noelle she still always wants to help Kris, first scenes we see of her she offers to ask the teacher for a trio since Kris was late. She also mentions how Kris knows her the best, Noelle is very much a weirdo, maybe not as much as Kris but she does love games, horror movies and creepy pastas. Shes interested in things that scare her and wants to be braver. Though Kris is controlled now, whenever Kris was little and pranked Noelle I like to think that Kris knew about Noelles situation and wanted to help her. Kris helps Noelle to be more of her true self, and despite Noelle being unsure if they’re friends now (likely to the whole Dess situation and their familys being seperated), shes still always fond of Kris and knows Kris always wants the best for her. She also knows Kris the best out of everyone, able to tell whenever theyre not themselves and does show concern. Also Noelle was so easily manipulated in the snowgrave route because she trusts Kris so much, she believed that Kris is just helping her get stronger and they would never do anything to harm her.

For Kris to Noelle, though we cant see it alot in the main route we do go more into it in snowgrave. Its likely that Noelle was Kris first friend, Kris has been described as sorta a menace growing up. Noelle is always really understanding and patient for others, even for berdly who probably makes her uncomfortable alot, she still stays his friend and helps him with his grades. Those aspects are something Kris needs especially with their condition right now. Its also seen throughout the snowgrave route, Kris very much cares about Noelle aswell. After chapter 2 snowgrave route, Noelle mentions Kris coming over to their house, reassuring her that everything will be ok. Even in their souless weak state, they go out of their way to walk to her house, probably climb her gate, and say sorry. And in chapter 4 snowgrave, this is the most we ever see them frustrated at our actions. Their mood becomes less happier, theyre frantic to stop the soul making everything worse, and becomes more violent, kicking us constantly and biting their hand from us doing choices they do not agree to. My theory why their relationship deteriorated was a part of this reason, cause they were scared that the souls actions would hurt her.

NOW WHY KRUSIELLE IS THE BEST OUT OF ALL OF THEM

Ive already gone through all of each others relationship so ill just go over why adding the character to the different ships is the best option

Suselle - Kris is the bridge for them, Susie and Noelle didnt start hanging out till Kris was there to help them. Yes maybe at some point they wouldve started hanging out by themselves, but Susie only started softening up and being ok with others because they were friend with Kris first. Right now, Kris knows the both of them the best. If Kris does have romantic feelings for any of them, it just feels super sad.

Krusie - Even if theyre lovable stupid weirdos together, we need someone in this relationship who will be mature and not lead them to accidentally kill themelves. Ralsei is originally this role but considering Ralsei may or may not be related to Asriel its sorta weird without confirming. Also Ralseis pushover when it comes to them (love u Ralsei sorry). Noelle is the best person for this. Shes smart, non judgmental, and though shes also a pushover shes actively trying to be better and most likely less more bold the more comfortable she is with the person. In the long run Kris and Susie will probably end up burning everything if Noelle isnt there to help them be more mature. Noelle will also likely be a mediator, Kris doesnt talk about their problems and Susie needs communication. Noelle is mature enough to help the both of them.

Kriselle - Even though theyre childhood friends, they both seem to be very avoidant about their situation right now. Like how Susie is in the fun gang, shes always the one being bold and being a beacon of hope when Kris and Ralsei is pessimistic. I like to see it as Susies the only one out of the three who would point out they didnt want pickles in their burger. Susie is also likely to convince Noelle to talk about Noelles and Kris's damaged friendship, Susies always curious about them being close and even though Noelle dismisses it, Susies bold enough to make Noelle face the problem.

Conclusion:

Shut the fuck up, they are all good ships.

Uh, Kerdlys also here ig

Torturing Kris in a funny way,

TECHNICALLY, You can see it canon that Kris is Berdlys gamer soulmate since they both play the same games,
