I'll get stronger, for her.

Apparently tumblr didn't post the last i tried to post this so....

Okay so like, I really cooked with this one you guys... im so proud of this!!!

I really really love the idea of if dess is the knight, Noelle and Dess having to face one another. also peep some other headcanons of mine such as dess just barely hanging on to life. Also this would go along the snowgrave route, Noelle getting stronger, but at what cost? because now she'll be going against her own sister, the one person shes been looking for her whole life... was it all really worth it? yeah yeah yum yum, I think about this silly idea a lot and I really wanted to draw more Dess as the knight and Noelle so here we are! im quite proud of how these turned out!!

Like, chapters 1 and 2 they're positioned in a way that prevents you from reading important books in the library, one about the nature of souls and the other about monster funerary rites. Both things that become central to later chapters. They do this while acknowledging that the books would be of great interest to us, but they make no move to get out of the way. As if saying "I know what you're here for, but you're not getting it yet."

The most unnerving and now most infamous version of this is them directly interfering in the Onionsan plotline. Onion is heavily implied to have found something under Hometown's lake, something they're more than willing to share if Kris befriends them. But on the day they told Kris to come to the lake's shore again, who do we find? Normal NPC. Who flat-out tells us Onion will not be coming. And then devolves into repeating their dialogue until it sounds like they're scared and being attacked.

One chapter later, Normal sells us fried takoyaki at the festival for 2 G. Which is extremely weird, because G (or gold) is not the common currency in Deltarune. But it was in Undertale. Yet another thing that in-universe characters won't lose sleep about, but an Undertale player is likely to catch onto. Normal corrects themselves to say that the takoyaki is actually for free right after this, but with how deliberate their word choice has been up to this point, I fully believe this was intentional. They're signaling to the player.

This also shows that Normal won't hesitate to scare us off if they can't directly block us. Onion isn't an immobile book, Normal can't just stand in front of them and block off our access to them like they did in the library with the books about souls. So they made sure we didn't get the opportunity to speak to Onion again at all and that we knew they were in some way directly responsible for that.

a. She’s 5′ 11″ and can never find pants long enough for her legs or shirts long enough for her arms.

b. She hates synthetic fibers as much as I do and it’s difficult to find natural fiber clothes that aren’t made of cotton

c. She’s a biologist and would physically fistfight microplastics if given half a chance

This year the ad broke containment, and non-Australians are having their brains melted by this bizarre tradition, so international followers, lets see if you can work out what this is trying to sell before the last few seconds.
