The Reason Kris Refuses to Give Spamton the Soul
Susie Has the Biggest Heart on the Team
it is canon that:
Noelle would mercilessly grind her Catz to get the right combination, eliminating all Catz that strayed from her path
Noelle has a morbid curiosity, and it gives her the determination to see scary and messed up things, like videogame creepypastas, despite her emotional response to cry and fear
I conclude that:
Noelle could complete an Undertale No Mercy route
Noelle would stream her No Mercy Playthrough and be an instant hit, because everytime someone dies, Noelle spends 5 minutes grieving the person she just killed
You know, when I see fictional characters who repress all their emotions, they're usually aloof and very blunt about keeping people at a distance, sometimes to an edgy degree—but what I don't see nearly enough are the emotionally repressed characters who are just…mellow.
Think about it. In real life, the person that's bottling up all their emotions is not the one that's brooding in the corner and snaps at you for trying to befriend them. More often than not, it's that friendly person in your circle who makes easy conversation with you, laughs with you, and listens and gives advice whenever you're upset. But you never see them upset, in fact they seem to have endless patience for you and everything around them—and so you call them their friend, you trust them. And only after months of telling them all your secrets do you realize…
…they've never actually told you anything about themselves.

Yes. And I’d argue they know Kris better than we do.
What little we know about Kris often comes because one of their friends makes an observation about what they’re doing or saying.
Susie, Ralsei, and Noelle can see every face Kris makes and hear every word they say. We can’t. We only know when one of them points it out.

So I was wondering why Susie would think Toriel would have handcuffs just lying around in her kitchen drawer…
…but I remembered, Toriel used to be married to the town Police Chief.
That could explain why Susie is so nervous and formal around Toriel. How does one even conduct themselves in the home of a Police Chief’s wife?
Susie seems a little wary of being told to drop and do pushups or something.
At the same time, she likes Toriel quite a lot. Toriel seems to have left a strong, positive impression on Susie at some point.
Toriel and Susie met a long time ago, and don’t seem to have met since.
Susie remembers her from back then, but Toriel doesn’t remember Susie - she only knows who Susie is because Alphys talks about her.
It’s possible that Toriel might have helped a much younger Susie out of a bind with the Hometown police at some point, as the wife of the Police Chief at the time. Maybe she was found as a runaway from a nearby town?
Twice now, Ralsei pulls Kris aside and asks them to think about what Susie’s doing.
People have theorized this is to “get alone time away from the Player”, but I think he actually does this because he’s trying to communicate something about Susie to Kris.
“Astral Projection”?
Both Kris and Ralsei act like they’re viewing/have viewed Susie’s scenes.
In Chapter 2, Ralsei is alright with Kris not viewing Susie’s scene if they’re not interested.
If doing the Snowgrave route, Kris will skip Susie’s scene by themself, and Ralsei, after initially being flustered, will say, “As long as Susie’s happy”.
So that’s why - what?

Far-Too-Optimistic Theory: Alphys is trying to look out for Susie.
So we know that Alphys was bullshitting us when she pretended not to know who stole the chalk in Chapter 1…
…since apparently she and Toriel have discussed this habit of hers.
In Chapter 1, Alphys seems to hope Susie will give it back on her own at first…
Then violates the Geneva Convention in an effort to get Susie to confess to save her classmates (this Did Not Work)…
…and in the end, Alphys just asks Susie to go get some more, apparently because she “came in last”.
Still, Alphys doesn’t out Susie as the one who took it. How come?
If Susie gets caught taking supplies, she might get expelled! She’s on her last chance.
So, does Alphys care about her?

Kris...?
Without eye highlights...
While it's...cute? in fanart to see Kris go up and hug Susie, in canon, when Kris is moving on their own to sit next to her, they always give her space.
(Measuring tape for social distancing added for emphasis)
And the one time Kris (jokingly?) asked her for a hug/to share her jacket, they asked, they didn't glomp her.
They immediately smile at her ribbing a moment later, showing that they're not bothered by the refusal.
In fact, any time they've gotten physically close, it's because Susie approached Kris.
Which Kris seems to be perfectly alright with; she's their best friend and Kris does seem to want to be close to her, since they ask her for a hug after the Spamton fight.
My point is, Kris deliberately gives her space when it's up to them how close to get to her. Not only are they respectful of her boundaries, Kris seems to want Susie to bridge that physical gap herself.
If they hug, Susie's probably going to be the one to do it first.
There will BE no friendship. (And yes I'm still not dead and still have intents on coming back here)
Is it actually possible for people to respect the idea that I’m just not personally impressed with Berdly as a person right now?
I’m not a fan of how he interrupts Noelle constantly, how he spent most of chapter 2 putting Kris and Susie down and call them stupid to their faces, just to turn around and relationship-zone Susie after she turns out to be cool, trying to get her alone constantly and then trick her into giving him a kiss.
He’s going to have to treat Kris, Noelle, and Susie with some actual, non-crush-related respect, as people, before I’m going to consider liking him. That doesn’t mean I want him dead or don’t acknowledge that he values Noelle.
This is not a character everyone has to like or it’s immoral somehow or you get to call them stupid for not liking him. Stop sending me fanboy asks trying to covert me Green Eggs and Ham style.
What part of “there’s nothing wrong with him, he’s just annoying” makes people think harassing them into liking him is okay?
Finally, someone talked about Ralsei and Susie's friendship! Compared to Susie and Kris, their friendship may seem subtle to the point of overlooked but it makes all the difference once you notice it!
Something I like about Susie and Ralsei's friendship...he's not afraid to get mad at her.
Her, a Lightner, and furthermore, a hero of prophecy.
And what's better is that this is how Susie wants it.
Ralsei handed her the opportunity to treat him like a servant on a silver platter, and she rejected it wholesale.
And alongside being able to get mad at her, he acknowledges she has faults...
...but he appreciates her as a person. She's actively teaching him that it's okay to have faults, and that you can still like someone who has faults.
Susie is trying hard to have an equal relationship with someone who was inclined to be worshipful of her, and it's working - and both of them are better off for it.
Oh no! They're gonna die if they keep this up, please stop removing us, Kris! This is for your own good!
Funky whatevee
Susie and noelle.... gay people...
I think my favorite part about the whole Toriel confronting Kris about the pie scene in the beginning of chapter 2, is that fact that Toriel isn’t the least bit concerned that Kris just owns a knife for personal use. She’s just like “ah yes my child’s knife that they keep around” which tells me that Kris has probably never once actually used the knife to be violent towards others or hurt themselves. They just like that knife and carry it around for pie eating purposes.
school dance au! everything’s the same except there’s a school dance! also ralsei’s there lol
