Oh I am so normal about her

[zombvibes]

Now I know I said multiple times that I wasn't going to talk about teammateswap's weird route until the au account was done but...SCREW IT CAN'T KEEP THIS INFO IN MY BRAIN ANYMORE.

Before I start, I'm not good at explaining myself nor my ideas so if nothing make sense...well that's half the reason. The other half is because the weird route is half baked and not completely thought out yet. (Just like everything else in this god forsaken au!!! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!)

Ok I'll start rambling now!

(WARNING THIS IS LONG.....)

SIIIIIIKE I'm giving you some context first so you can understand some things (hopefully...fingers crossed) :

Noelle isn't that trusting of a person and mostly keeps to herself. Despite how personable she seems, she never really had any friends aside from Kris and Berdly. Even then, she wouldn't really consider them friends. More like close acquaintances. (Yes Catti, and Jockington aren't friends with Noelle in this au. She knows them on an acquaintance level however this applies to the other classmates too.) The only people she could (mostly) trust are her family and Kris (and...kind of Berdly but barely). Kris and Noelle weren't close AT ALL when they were kids due to her being even MORE untrusting and aloof than she is currently. She eventually warmed up to Kris and the rest of the Dreemurrs because of Dess and Rudy getting her out of her shell (though not by much). Kris and Noelle have gotten to know each other recently (most likely after Dess disappeared) so they don't know a lot about each other but are currently friendly with each other.

Now unlike Kris, Berdly DID actually knew Noelle from childhood. This is mostly because Berdly just...kinda followed her around everywhere she went. (Which if you couldn't tell is still the case in present day.) He cared about being seen as intelligent but had terrible grades. Sooo why not attach yourself to the smartest girl in class and get help from her? I'll stop here since uh...I mean.....their dynamic is the same. And I don't have anything else to add that's relevant SOOO. ANYWAYS.

When I was referring to tms!Noelle being personable this is about pre-chapter 2 Noelle. She's a dickhead we know this by now c'mon...She used to put on this "goody-two-shoes A+ student Teacher's pet" act to please everyone. Which...I sadly will have to talk about another time. Just keep the "Everyone's expectations for ME are so high now...What am I going to do once I go somewhere without her?" quote from Berdly's monologue in mind for now. It's semi-important.

OK COOL GOT IT? GOT THAT? COOL. I'LL START FOR REAL THIS TIME :

I'd think that tms!weird route will pretty much play out similarly to the original weird route. So I won't be talking about that all too much? Especially since I'm not sure how it'll go currently.

I, however, will talk about Noelle's powers instead! I already talked about her powers a little bit in this post but I'll just say it again. So you know how in the original weird route Noelle freezes the enemies? In teammateswap, Noelle...turns them into, uh, icicle kebabs. Icicles pop up from the ground and stabs the enemy from below. I was thinking about making the enemy TIRED or SLEEPY before doing that but I'm not sure how that would work. I *think* if you're in a fight with an enemy for long enough they become TIRED but I'm not entirely sure rn. When you get the thorn ring equivalent of Noelle's spear (which will be called the thorn spear and the freeze ring equivalent will be called freeze spear for simplicity), icicles with rain from the sky and pierce whoever is below the storm.

So...after hearing that some of you may be thinking "Hey. So. If you said that enemies get stabbed by icicles, does that mean.....Berdly.........." Yes. Berdly becomes swiss cheese. Anyways this is a great time to talk about Berdly's fight since it's the thing I've thought about the most!

Berdly's fight starts as normal (at least normal for weird route) : Kris and Noelle finds Berdly, Berdly gets worried for Noelle, Berdly pulls out weapon to protect Noelle, en garde, fight starts. So for the fight, you have to wait until he gets tired from using his magic and weapon (remember it's large and heavy). When that happens, he'll fall to the ground. And, uh, he then becomes swiss cheese.

OR. Does he?

If you cast the ice spell (which I will call icegrave, again for simplicity) before Berdly gets tired, he'll survive. He'll be scared shitless, but he'll survive. After icegrave wears off, Noelle falls to the ground and Berdly runs to her to see if she's ok. He shields her from Kris to make sure they don't hurt her. Noelle suddenly gets up, grabs Berdly's arm and drags hime to Queen's castle (her room). And Kris just stands there...in silence.

Another idea I had was, Berdly abandoning Noelle and running away (or well...TRYING to run away but then Getting Swiss Cheese'd™). Tbh...I may go with this idea. tms!Berdly being brave and protecting Noelle doesn't...seem right to me. If I do go with the first idea, Berdly would still be visible scared of Kris. Stuttering, shivering, crying and all. Berdly is NOT a brave guy.

Though during the fight, he desperately pleads with Noelle to come with him and desperately begs Kris to leave her alone. Nothing happens no matter how loud he gets...

ANOTHER idea I had is if Berdly survives, he still gets injured by an icicle (most likely stabbed in the eye, the one that's covered by hair, or the leg). But..again...not 100% sure.

OK SO BACK TO NOELLE AND KRIS, so tms!Noelle would resist more then the original and sometimes just does whatever she sees fit. She'd resist to the point where Kris would have to grab her by the arm and drag her everywhere they go. Though over time, grabbing by the arm becomes hand holding because Noelle is just now used to "getting dragged around" (but by this point she is just following Kris willingly). Which is...great. We love that. So great. (I'm being sarcastic. If you couldn't tell.) As for getting the freeze spear, Noelle multiple times was like "Hey, we can't afford that. Let's go. NOW." She doesn't kill the addison but instead steals the spear by trapping the addison in ice and running away laughing like a cartoon villian (originally, Noelle froze his legs and then ran away with the spear but...her weapon can't really do that so she just trapped them instead). This will stop after the 2nd/3rd mouse puzzle.

So. I assume some of you are wondering about the scene where Susie goes to Noelle's room. She still goes in by herself. But...they don't really...have a nice time together. (Not gonna be specific here since you, Kris and Ralsei don't know what happens in there.) I'll just say that she comes out of the room a little dejected. (She eventually goes back after the last Queen interaction.)

If Berdly lives, he'll come out of the room before Susie could go in. She jumps and wonders why he's in Noelle's room. Berdly, acting like his normal self, says that it's none of Susie's concern and brushes her off. She asks him if Noelle is ok. He pauses and enthusiastically says yes. He's only looking at Susie and ignores Kris as he leaves but not after glancing at them for a second. Susie and co then move on.

I think...I think that's all I'm going to say for now....there's more (obviously) but that's most of the weird route stuff I have! Hope that suffices for now.

What's everyone's relationship with each other in teammateswap? (Kris, Susie, Noelle, Berdly, and Ralsei) tbh I'm mostly interested in TMS! Berdly and Kris though since I couldn't find any on that yet-

*crack knuckles* Oh boy…MORE WRITING!! /lh

Because of how many characters I’ll be mentioning, I’ll try and simplify it as much as possible. I’ll be making a more in depth explanation about their relationships on @teammateswap-au once I get that going! So uh please be patient with me!! I am stupid and cannot read or write /lh.

(Also follow that account btw nothing’s there yet except for me freaking out about teammateswap susie appearing in a deltarune memes video. still boggles my mind. still not completely over it btw—)

Before I start, I already talked about Kris and Berdly’s relationship (along with Berdly’s relationship with Susie and Noelle) in THIS post! So I won’t be talking about Berdly’s relationships in this post (except for like…with Ralsei since I didn’t mention him)

Ok so everything’s under the cut have fun reading my incoherent ramblings :

I’m writing everything in notes app rn give me a sec alhfjahfj

KRIS - SUSIE :

They’re childhood friends! They’ve had their ups and downs but they’re still very close! Susie is basically Kris’s honorary sibling and is pretty much considered a part of the Dreemurr family. She, like with all of her friends (...and Berdly), is very protective over Kris. They’re bffls. Ride or die even—

KRIS - NOELLE :

They also knew each other when they were kids. However, Noelle was more aloof and clingy towards her family (mostly her sister). She didn’t really like hanging out the Dreemurrs. Now, they’re friendly with each other! Are they friends? Ehhhhh... Noelle sees Kris as a friendly acquaintance. (However, she would be very touched if Kris refers to her as a friend.)

SUSIE - NOELLE :

Susie is shy around strangers (around cute girls in general) but she out right avoided Noelle. Mostly because she didn’t want to make a fool out of herself. (She still did anyways but Noelle found it to be cute) Noelle always made an effort to get to know Susie more. (She tries to get acquainted with all of her classmates.) But she failed…Susie was very shy before. Noelle’s more caring to her compared to everyone else. (Mostly because of her shy and kind nature.) Eventually, they do become friends! (Friends who have GIGANTIC crushes on each other. That they’re acutely aware of but doubt the other has a crush in them. Because “Why would someone like HER like someone like ME?”)

SUSIE - RALSEI : Susie and Ralsei aren’t TOO close currently (Susie is still shy around strangers.) But they’re still friends! He tries to be really gentle with her but also teases her from time to time. (And Susie, again, is protective over Ralsei. A little more protective compared to others.) Susie actually thinks Ralsei is very adorable and (accidentally) comments on that fact. (And she gets teases by Ralsei for it) I actually talked about these 2 before! Didn’t really change that much stuff but still going to share regardless. Their relationship doesn’t change a lot—

NOELLE - RALSEI * : Noelle likes messing with Ralsei (because she’s a menace to society). Ralsei doesn’t particularly mind Noelle but wish she was a little nicer.

BERDLY - RALSEI * : Berdly thinks Ralsei is cute. WHOA WHO SAID THAT???? Anyways, ignoring that, like everyone else, Berdly talks down and condescends to Ralsei. Not really taking him all too seriously. Ralsei doesn’t have any opinions on Berdly. He just…kinda exists to Ralsei.

* Because Noelle and Berdly haven’t really gotten to know Ralsei in game (like…regular deltarune), this is speculation.
