i've been seeing a lot of cute little "SOULsonas" since the new chapters dropped and it got me wondering about how i might design one of my own!
the earrings were a gift from toriel. she thought they were cute and said they'd match the red of kris' horn headband, which immediately won kris over.
some bonus context/thoughts under the cut
if you're wondering why kris doesn't just take off the earring, two reasons:
first, they've already found out that doesn't work - the earring they have in the Light World isn't the SOUL, so removing it doesn't influence the SOUL's presence at all. only physically removing the SOUL disconnects them.
second, kris really likes their earring and partially continues wearing it out of spite. they got attached to it because they felt very guilty over losing the other one; they didn't want toriel to think they didn't care enough to keep track of them, so they started wearing the remaining earring almost all the time.
kris isn't sure if the earring!SOUL they see in the Dark World is real or not. it seems to function similarly to the Light Only They Can See (save points) and no one else has ever commented on it. in the Light World, they've never seen it, but still "hear" it "speaking" to them through their earring. they've tried and failed searching for the missing earring.
(it was a happy accident i fell into when i realized exactly how i wanted to do the design, but i kind of love this idea of the SOUL controlling kris having this extra underlying layer of representing their feelings of guilt and loss, as well as something meaningful/sentimental/beautiful to them being tainted by this outside influence taking over their life)
spamtenna ponies!!! notes about their designs under the cut
since tenna is the boss/ruler of his world, i imagined him as an alicorn. he has mysterious origins- no one knows where he came from and he’s always vague about it when asked. but instead of assuming any real position of power, he just decided to be a TV host. his magic is still very powerful, though, but he tries to use it subtly as to not make people afraid of him (unless he WANTS them to be afraid of him, then he’s less subtle)
spamton is a unicorn, only bc addisons in general just gave me unicorn vibes, but i can see that being an aspect of himself he begins to resent once he breaks away from them as a whole. as he begins to gain more popularity thanks to his benefactor, he begins to cover up his cutie mark with one he designed himself to continue to try to cover up who he used to be. he meets tenna shortly before he starts doing this, which is the only way tenna knows him as a “mailman”
