Honestly, I've never really had any interest in Undertale or Deltarune shipping in the past, and that still mostly holds true. That being said, I cannot stop thinking about the delicious psychological horror implications of Kris/Ralsei

#imagine if there was this guy you met who looked exactly like your brother did when he was younger #and like. He's fine. you get along with him fine. He's a bit annoying and cloying sometimes but whatever #and he's clearly attracted to you #like extremely clearly attracted to you. and he sees you as something you aren't.#he can't seem to see past this hero persona that you've been forced to play #and you are not attracted to him. no part of you is attracted to him #but you're being forced to reciprocate #you're hugging him and flirting with him and giving him presents and all you feel feel about it is dread #you can't even tell him you're not interested. because. well. apparently you are #you're being forced to act out this fluffy fairytale romance with someone who again may I remind you is basically your brother #because whoever is playing this sick fucking game you're in has decided that you're cute together #like. idk. i feel like it's old news to point out that both Undertale and Deltarune are Stories About Stories #with Deltarune being largely about control and about what it feels like to be trapped in a narrative that someone else has made for you #And hey. stories have romance. stories have fandoms and those fandoms demand ships where the stoic one is soft for the sunshine one #anyways. do I ship it? um. I'm not sure.#no im the sense that I very firmy believe Kris has absolutely no romantic feelings for Ralsei #yes in the sense that I think Ralsei is written as having feelings for Kris. and I think the dynamic there is INCREDIBLY interesting #and it's something I really really hope we get to see more of in later chapters #Doomed By The Narrative has been done. it's time for Shipped By The Narrative #deltarune #kralsei
