The Jongler Connection
Are you looking for any reason as to why Jongler doesn't have a plush? Are you confused on why some people are upset at Jongler having him pronouns? You're in the right place.
I'm going to list some things that link Kris to Jongler, and thus explains both, kinda?
First off of course, Jongler's book on Jongling in Kris' Cyber World room. From the search term "how to use magic" oof.
Humans can't do magic but they can juggle or do card tricks, they can be a Magician, but not a Mage. If you're into the Dess card magician theory, this is possible fuel for Dess and Kris' relantionship having to do with wanting to be a human and a monster respectively.
Kris can also fit the "jumping through hoops" expression that Jongler's game is about.
What actually got me thinking about this Jongler = Kris connection is the missing bowtie.
Jongler is made out of 7 sprites. When in battle, their bowtie is not present. When you put Jongler in the slot, the slot turns red. Jongler's bowtie missing could be a mirror of Kris' soul.
Lastly, all the cowboy things seem to be tied to Kris and Asgore exclusively, since they both liked the cowboy show. In ch5 Toriel's wallpaper is a photo of Kris in a cowboy hat sitting on Asgore's lap, Kris describes it as being "someone" because she cropped the photo, and Kris is a little shit who won't tell us the whole deal as a way to regain agency.

And also you know, Mancountry, Cowboy... Kris stopping themself and saying "gingerbread humans" unlike Toriel, who says they are "gingerbread men" to Susie. Roles Kris doesn't fit and where "man" is interchangeable with human "as the default"
