#Anon: ( Story of Kris )

[leopardom]

kinda random but what's your favourite(s) kris pic?

anon you’re evil, this was hard to answer 😭 but anyway here have some of my fav Kris pics

and the best of the best

[akanemnon]

i’m sorry you get the most annoying anons ever sometimes 😭

I get a LOT of comments and asks across many platforms and I find it really fascinating how a lot of them confidently claim how something is, how things are supposed to be, or how things will turn out. It's kinda fun in a way. Because most of the time I WOULD agree if it was REGULAR Frisk/Kris we're talking about.

But this is Twin Runes now, isn't it? Everything is a little weird and a little different when it comes to these two and that is very much intentional.

Of course, I know the story and I know the characters very well. What is up with them and what makes them tick. The nature of this story is a fun little mystery.

Without ALL of the puzzle pieces it is hard to come to the correct conclusion. But it IS possible!

All I want to say is, that I have done pleeeeeeenty of research. And if things are off, or stray from the source matieral ever so slightly, then it's intentional. But if I make a LEGIT mistake you are very free to draw attention to that. I am not without fail. Quite the contrary, actually.

heyyy hii !! do you have any recs on jimin focus fic blogs & any recent jimin fics? thank you in advance 💕

Hi sweet anon! 🫂

I do! And sorry for taking so long to get back to you, I know it’s only been like a day, but it took some time to compile this for you, anyway—onto the list and my recs for you! ✨

Jimin focused fic blogs:

@writtenwhalien - just *chef’s kiss* pure talent (she also writes for other than Jimin, but she has a lot of Jimin fics). Link to her masterlist [here] + more of her Jimin fics [here].

@chimmy-licious - reads and reblogs a lot of Jimin fics!

@moonchild1 - not really Jimin focused, but I mention them because they have a vast library for all the members, but here’s their Jimin Library.

@chim-chimmie - writes for all the members, but has a long list of Jimin fics, and also—the writing is just *chef’s kiss*. Here’s a link to Kris’ masterlist [here].

@luaspersona - mentioning Lua because she has a big library (Jimin specific here), she also writes and her masterlist is [here] Her writing is also super amazing and just UGH LOVE (she has one of my favorite Joonie fics!!!).

@jiminniethemarshmallow - I cannot forget my girl Mae!!! Seriously, I think she was one of the first Jimin blogs I discovered back in the day. Amazing. Just, another *chef’s kiss* and the link to her masterlist is [here].

@jimilter - writes for all the members, but their Jimin section is MASSIVE and the writing is another *chef’s kiss*. Link to their masterlist [here].

I think that’s all. At least from the top of my head. I’m so sorry if I forgot someone (please forgive me) 😭

Recent Jimin fics that I haven’t read yet, but I know are great because they are written by amazing authors:

A Lover’s Redemption @writtenwhalien; I still haven’t read it, but BOY do I want to! Also, it’s an ongoing series ✨

If Only It Was You @oddinary4bts; wah, still haven’t read it, but anything my queen Ella writes is just GOLD.

Almost Romantic @kookiewithluv; can’t wait to read!

Shit Happens @smoljimjim ; I know this has a named reader, but please give it a chance! I haven’t read this one yet, but everything else from this lovely author is just so good!!!

Recent Jimin fics from authors I’ve never read from before (I did a search YAY), but the plot seems interesting:

Innocent @anotherbtsffwriter; the plot seems really interesting and I’ve added this one to my trl!

Foreign @anotherbtsffwriter; again, cool sounding plot–so added to my trl.

If Snow Decides to Fall (series) @pjmmania; HELLO?????! Why have I never seen this one before??? LIKE. I don’t understand? It seems really good, so it’s added to my list and it’s a Christmas story too, I think???

The Only Exception (series) @heartforbangtan; again, I must be living under a rock because I haven’t seen this before—but I’ve seen the author! Sounds amazing and is added to my list.

And just because I just released a Jimin fic of my own, I’m dropping it here. So if you haven’t read it yet, and fantasy is your thing, I have a merman story with Jimin [here] 💜

I hope there’s something for you on here to dig into, anon 🫶

Happy reading 💜

Kris wearing Käärijä merchan and Häärijä wearing it from Joker Out is a strategy of the guys for Bojan and Jere to have moral support when they miss each other the most. And in this essay I will-

WILL YOU, ANON? WILL YOU?

I mean, the thing is Kris is the og Käärija stan and Häärijä actually listens to Joker out and knows more than one song by name so them wearing merch makes perfect sense...

or is that just the cover story??? Or is it perfect synergy of fanboyism and friendship camouflage and support?

Anon, the essay is due at midnight and tardiness will result in grade reduction.

[linskywords]

Please pardon the following rant. It's late and I need to go to bed but this idea popped into my brain. If I may soapbox for a moment:

How do you think the Claude Giroux rivalry would fit in with Sid's story? To me, I interpret their beef here as Claude being super uber traditional. And that just pisses Sid off (in his mind he doesnt know why yet. It just does). Claude leans into it on the ice but then he really digs his claws in when he realizes chirping about wanting to take Sid down. Calling him a dirty kneed sub. He would give Sid such good bruises to go home and show his daddy (aka Mario) and oh man it would just make Sid lose it.

Like not only is this his rookie year. There's also the added pressure of "you have to save the team AND earn them a new stadium AND save the league AND be the poster child AND your family and friends back home are counting on you AND-" so of course Sid is feeling overwhelmed.

And Claude is just the straw that breaks the camel's back. I dont think Claude really knows why Sid is reacting the way that he is. He just probably thinks its entertaining that he found a tender spot to poke and prod at.

Geno finds Sid shaking and folded into the corner of a random closet (I'd like to think this eventually becomes Sid's unofficial breakdown closet (ofc he has an official closet. Do you know the intricacies that make up Sidney Crosby?) known only to Geno and Kris) and Sid softly tells Geno to go back to the locker room. Someone needs to look after the team. But Geno cant help but think "fuck the team who will take care of SID?"

And I know endgame here is SidNate and I will ride that train until I die but Geno would be so helpless and heartbroken about Sid. He would rather find Claude himself and punch his face in. But doing that would mean he would have to leave Sid who is just about to hyperventilate.

Anon, this is so good. Claude just thinks he's found a weapon to use and isn't thinking about it too hard. Then years later after Sid's started subbing for real, he walks in on something and finds out the secret. Sid is horrified -- this is the last person he wanted to have that knowledge -- but Claude is immediately full of regrets. He never thought about whether there might be real trauma and repression behind Sid's reactions to his chirping, and now that he knows, he feels awful for ever having said all that. He's still tough on Sid on the ice but he never says anything like that again, to anyone.

And Geno! Yes, okay, this might need to be a proper polyamory situation. Sid's been on his guard against Geno in a way he never has been against Nate, and it's been so hard for Geno to see Sid suffer like this over the years and not be able to help. He's so relieved when Nate comes to him with a proposal. As long as he gets to be a real partner to Sid. It can't just be a transactional thing. He cares about Sid too much for that.

[howlsofbloodhounds]

me and my butter fingers, did i forget to turn on anon again??? (T_T)

talking about frisk/chara/the player in the context of stories and aus is really fun! i saw a really funny art post on twitter (i don't remember the link...) that depicts the player in three aus where the murder time trio comes from and they're friends. something new!player is a dedicated hacker, dusttale!player is a 100% achievements player, and horrortale!player is a loser/quitter. it's quite fun to see them interact with each other in "real life" not knowing that the games they play are actual universes/worlds out there, but then considering what the aus become... this kind of tone dissonance between the "real life world" and the aus is quite interesting. i don't see many people actually depict stories with the player as a core character/force/mechanism. i think a story from the player's (or multiple players') point-of-view would be very funny, in a dark humour kind of way.

~ crowshipping anon, on brainstorming mood

Yeah you did 👍. Im glad I caught it in time, I almost didn’t 😭.

The only fanfic I can think of involving a player was a Deltarune fanfic from Noelle’s POV. I don’t remember everything about it, but I do remember that Noelle realizes that Kris isn’t Kris, somehow gains the ability to Reset (I forget how), and had to face off against the player and save Kris without letting the player know. Something along those lines.

But honestly picturing Horrortale, Dustale, and Something New Player being friends is honestly amazing to me.

Like, Dustale is screaming and seething when Sans kills them, hooting and hollering whenever they manage to kill sans and earn more achievements.

Something New Player’s over here cooking up new ways to make the game more interesting, and I can imagine just how fascinated they were with Killer. Imagine all the potential prompts that could exist to interact with Killer? There definitely had to have been moments where they just kept clicking that “poke” and “examine” or “touch” button. Telling him to do the most strange things or depraved things, having him stand somewhere in stress positions for hours.

I like to imagine the Something New Player has a very perverted fondness towards killer, he’s their greatest creation, and they love talking about him to their friends at every chance. but maybe they always dog on smthn new player cuz of their edgy hacked oc.

And meanwhile horrortale player, the quitter they are, is probably only interested in undertale still because their friends keep yapping about these creepypasta-esque versions of the game lmao.

[s4pphic-sh3nan1gans]

hi! the bokris yapping never ends, so i'm here again 🥰 what types of stories about bokris do you enjoy the most? maybe some fave tropes or dynamic or kinks or plot points you enjoy reading about (the "creative differences" for example lmao or smth like that)? maybe you'd like to read something about them but it's not been written by anyone yet?

OOOOOO these are interesting questions!!!

I have to think about this for a minute lowkey 😭 honestly I'll read pretty much anything bokris-related, and I'm sure I must have read about 95% of the bokris fics on ao3. but as for my absolute favourite tropes, this is what I can come up with:

any variation of first kiss/getting together/confession of feelings - maybe I'm a bit basic for this one but I'm a sucker for reading about how they go from casual flirting to serious flirting to falling in love, and how the lines are blurred in between.

friends to lovers - again, basic 😅 but I never get tired of reading about them slowly falling for each other over the years.

enemies to lovers - now this one works perfectly when paired with the distortion saga or the creative differences saga. the drama, the conflicting feelings... AAAAA!!! I eat that shit UP!

mutual pining/miscommunication/idiots in love - this is an absolutely lethal combo but I kinda love it for bokris. both of them being extremely dense and not realising that the other has feelings for them fits them perfectly. it makes me want to bonk their silly little heads together.

teasing - in every sense of what this means, either sexually or non-sexually. and it's pretty versatile too: Bojan could be teasing Kris because he wants to see him flustered or to get a rise out of him, or Kris could be teasing Bojan because he's been far too cocky lately and could do with being taken down a few notches 🤭 basically, I like to read about them bickering or being a little mean to each other and using it as their flirting.

okayyyyy, and now some of my favourite kinks to read for them 😇 I have to say I'm a top!Kris bottom!Bojan truther, but only because that seems to be what fits most of my own personal headcanons 😭 I do enjoy reading all dom/sub variations between them so I'm definitely speaking broadly here for all of these:

praise kink - works for either of them, although you can't tell me that Bojan, golden retriever personified, doesn't have one of the biggest praise kinks in the world.

hair-pulling - all I'll say is that I'm sure there's many uses for Kris growing his hair out... (wow, I sure am doing a good job of "speaking broadly" about these 😭)

choking - I mean... we've all seen that video, right?

exhibitionism - sometimes, they can't keep their hands off each other, even in their rehearsal space. and I'm sure they wouldn't mind a small audience........

restraints - idk man I just think it's hot 😭 and it works pretty well with their dynamic.

and finally!!! the thing I'd really love to see more of is genderbent bokris as lesbians. there are a few fics (and, um... I confess I was writing one myself, which I am determined to finish at some point because I made a promise to myself 😭) but honestly? there should be more. they would be so hot as lesbians 🥰

so, there we are! I definitely rambled too much here (I can't help myself 😅) but I hope I answered your questions, anon! <3 there's loads more stuff too that I've probably forgotten, but these are the main things that I thought of straight away :)

[goatlingsvent]

To all the people saying "It's not Kris no way"

Here's your damn proof that it's her. I found her account way back in 2022, I showed her I saw it and she confirmed, but due to the recent postings she's deleted her messages. If you want further recordings, ask for it. I will provide what I can until she probably decides to scrub more.

I'm posting this not anon because I frankly don't give a shit anymore. She can't do anything to me. This is all technically public information to begin with. You just either needed a lucky algorithm or in the space for a furry vtuber.

I'm damn glad I'm gone. Kris is the worst person to work for and I pity the senior art staff she has used and abused with this frankly insane deadlines and requests. She paid me and the other junior artists pennies for the hours of work we did, not even close to minimum wage. From since I was 17, freshly turning 18 that November 2020, I had worked for her happily and over eagerly. What did I ask for in return? A premium currency that can't buy me food in real life. After a while we all finally started asking for USD instead of DD. I've worked for pennies for at least a couple years, and she's damn lucky I had a full-time job I could lean back on after some bad actors decided they had enough with seeing me work for her. She can't ban me, she can't fire me, she can't hurt me anymore. Be fucking aware of who this grown adult woman is. Be aware that this is just one story of someone who worked for her, and imagine what others dealt with. Yeah a few of them are kind of shitty people, and honestly I couldn't care less. But there were literal teens wanting this horrid back breaking job. Pushing and pulling waiting to get a response. Waiting for our next job that we needed to get done last minute because they hadn't decided yet what to pick.

This is who you are brown-nosing when you say "it's not her" or defend her blatant disrespect for the people who fucking feed her ass and keep the lights on, and buy her nice things.f

[mafaldaknows]

Do you trust the account for this "Kardashian family is drugging men" story? The account pushing this story has not been confirmed by anyone big in the news world and in the background you can hear an AI voice.

Whenever I find a story to be wild, I take a breath and look at the source and ask if it is reliable.

Hello, Anon:

It might possibly be unreliable, absolutely, but I can assure you that my tongue was planted firmly in my cheek when I posted that story. Perhaps I should’ve have stated that more directly, in case my “exor-Kris-m” joke wasn’t clear enough that I was not entirely serious.

Considering that the family at the center of the controversy is well-known for releasing their own unreliable information about themselves, the truth hardly seems to matter anymore when it comes to the Kardashian-Jenner Klan.

Thanks for your input 😘❣️

[akanemnon]

Is Kris okay? Because they seem out of character

They really aren't. Throughout the first two chapters, there are moments that hint towards Kris actually being a pretty anxious person. The aftermath of the Spamton NEO fight comes to mind, or how panicked they sound when they try to tell officer Undyne about Dark Worlds, or how their first reaction to when the school closet to the Dark World opens is to back away. Kris is not indifferent to everything around them. That tendency to shut down is possibly just a defense mechanism. Think about it. Their parents went through a (presumably) messy divorce, their brother (who they were closest to out of anyone) went far away to college, and they are being controlled by us against their own will. And right now in this comic itself they are definitely NOT having a good time either. By all means, they are chaotic and a prankster, but if given the opportunity by the player, Kris shows those rare moments of their true nature. Thing is, we as the player and most characters in the game itself don't get to experience this side of them very often. Since Twin Runes got rid of the player altogether, we and everyone else get to see their whole palette of emotions on full blast.

Like anon said, they are fearing for their LIFE (and that of their dad specifically, since they think their mother is this Dark World's Knight). There are no saftey nets. No saves. No resets. One wrong step and that's it.

Also, keep in mind that while TR!Kris definitely shares elements with canon Kris, they are not exactly the same character. They are a lot more exaggerated than canon Kris. That is true for most characters in this story. I try to stick to canon as much as possible, but there are deviations here and there (the puppet limbs come to mind, for example). This is still an AU after all.

[lynxgriffin]

Hello! I've discovered eldritchrune recently, and i can say i love the concept, story so far, design, just everything actually! I want to ask if some beasts like Noelle or Catti would accept hugs from Kris? How would they react to something like that? No, i'm not asking this because i want to hug them, what you're talking about?

Ahhh thank you very much, anon! I'm so glad that you're enjoying it so far! :D

And I guess that would fall under the same category as Kris riding them, which would probably be easiest to do with Noelle! But otherwise, I don't think they'd really know how to react! It's not like they can exactly hug them back, and normally humans are going to be staying as far away as possible, so what to do in that scenario has never crossed their minds!

I do understand though; I would just like to plant my face in giant Catti's cosmic fur.

hey I just wanted to say that b&g is one of my favorite pieces of undertale art in general. I'm muslim and the way you depict toriel reminds me of my own mother and other older muslim women that I meet a lot. It's very comforting. I don't see a lot of depictions of middleaged muslim women with dignity and respect that often. Of course, I love everything about your au and how you write all the characters, but toriel specifically really hits home for me

aww im really happy to hear that anon thank you :,,---( i remember Toriel originally wasnt supposed to be that big in my B&G world but with other characters getting their own time to shine (Kris and Susie about being teenagers trying to handle their struggles on their own, Undyne in being in her 20s but stuck in the past, etc) Toriel started developing in my mind, and her story is sort of an amalgam of all sorts of mothers and women ive met through babysitting and my own mother (though my mom isnt muslim as im a convert, so its all in just personality) so hearing someone else sees a little of their own mother in her warms me heart :,---] ty again

[the-bar-sinister]

is actually funny how if you see the main ace attorney games in a retrospective, Phoenix slowly stops being an everyman and turns into a quasi-gary stu. What Kristoph, Lana and Damond did is bad and should be punished, but Phoenix gets a pass because "lol typical nick behavior". Phoenix is given a pass that many characters wished they've got, to the point of breaching the ethical lawyer code ("everyone deserves to defend themselves") and not getting penalized by it in any way, something that I'm sure Kris or another lawyer were to do and would've gotten their asses beaten by the narrative.

I love Nick, but damn the devs shouldn't make their favoritism so obvious Xp.

You're kind of right, anon.

Specifically from a "doylist" perspective, outside the narrative-- Phoenix Wright gets a pass because he's the protagonist and the story follows his point of view and supports his justifications.

However, from a Watsonian perspective, inside the narrative-- is Phoenix Wright really getting a pass? We don't know.

In the cases of Damon Gant, Kristoph Gavin, Blaise Debeste, and Manfred Von Karma it took years and years for their corruption to be uncovered.

At the current furthest point of the timeline in Ace Attorney it's only been two years since Apollo Justice was manipulated into presenting Phoenix's false evidence. There is plenty of time for his sin to catch up with him.

What we don't often grapple with in the Ace Attorney fandom is that both Kristoph Gavin and Phoenix Wright were just playing the game the way everyone else had been playing it.

The court in Ace Attorney has been dominated by corruption and forged evidence for over 20 years. Going on 30 at the end of the timeline.

Phoenix Wright's "fall" is stooping to the same level that every other legal worker in the game he's gone up against has. He knows that the only way to get a guilty verdict is by forging evidence.

And by the time 7 years have passed he's jaded enough to do it.

And that's not even touching the fact that Phoenix Wright's solution to the forged evidence problem-- the jurist system-- is just switching the courts from an evidence based system to a vibes based system.
