i’m so curious to see how kris well develop as a character in the dess raises kris au bc like. in the first story kris has all these wonderful friends who are supporting them and helping them through this really big event in their life (as well as an actual therapist) but in THIS au they don’t really have that (or at least they don’t have it to the same extent that they did in the other fic)

kris's arc! i have quite a few very fun ideas as to what i want to do with it, partly cause, yeah, kris here has a much smaller support system than they do in my other big fic! so a lot of this one is of course them GETTING that support system cause of COURSE all the kids are gonna be friends by the end of things!!!

another major part of kris's arc here is starting to work thru their mommy issues basically. kris has basically been raised by overworked single parent chara while idealizing dess who isnt ever around, and i plan to go into that a LOT, in regards to kris, and how they conceptualize themself due to all of that. one big thing is that over the course of the story we see kris grow a lot closer to chara! still not, fully solidified yet, but i do really want to do a lot with that relationship.

oh and because I'm Me despite the fact that this is not a fic about being nonhuman, we're, uh, for sure gonna get a lot of that in the background lol. kris is a deer-monster! like dess :)

AND THEN THERES THE NOTE ABOUT HOW KRIS MIGHT GET POSSESSED BY THIS AU'S ADAPTATION OF THE PLAYER. but we'll. uh. get into that once i figure out how im adapting the player lol. i have some VERY fun ideas tho, including a character that i've had in my back pocket for years lol. i've always been looking for a fic to bring this character into, and i think this au might be the one...

but yeah!! kris <3
