deltarune is one of, if not my number one favorite game. it means a lot to me!!! i love talking about it.

my overall favorite characters are the knight & kris. it will soon come to be clear i am incredibly ill about them. their characters & relation are one of my favorite parts of deltarune and most of my fanworks are about them. i adore ralsei and susie and love them both with all my heart.

ralsei is CANONICALLY TRANSFEMININE, so i will be using she/her pronouns for all mentions of her. i believe all of the fun gang is transfeminine and will talk about them as such. i do not enjoy transmasculine headcanons of kris (or ralsei), as them being transfeminine is textually canon. apparently i'm a "psyop to make people hate transfem ralsei theorists."

shipping-wise, i love kralsuselle (ralsei / kris / susie / noelle) and most of the pairings included (im not personally a ralselle fan at this moment in time! i see the vision tho) i mostly talk about kralsusie though. i like any take on them, platonic, romantic, qpr, or even secret fourth thing.

i think dess is the knight, though not wholly. whether this is because of weird gaster shit or something else this is what i currently believe. one of my personal readings is that the knight/dess is plural and the knight is a seperate alter from dess, who's probably dormant. i do not think this is actually going to happen in game, (at least as in being stated like "dess is my dormant alter" but i think something similar but basically the same could happen) this is just how i read them as currently!

i don't like theories that say the knight is anything other than dess, i am "dess is in the lake" theory's number one hater (though that fucking lake is probably involved Somehow…)

i believe kris is plural, but not exactly in the krissociation way. i think the player is diegetic but kris is a plurality metaphor/is plural or has a dissociative disorder of some kind

that's it for now! feel free to send me asks on anything here or anything you think id find interesting! i love talking about deltarune! the only thing i will not answer is "why do you think [character] is transfem?" as at many times the asker is asking this not out of genuine curiosity but because of transmisogyny.

DON'T look this game up if u have a weak stomach but does anyone else remember this or does this make me old lmao

[transgirlralsei]

from the great minds who brought you "what if ralsei was a girl." we now present: "what if ralsei was a system"

[transgirlralsei]

if anyone else wants to draw them btw you have my full encouragement. (also feel free to come up with a design for the susie introject, but keep in mind these are headspace desighs, so she would look less like a ralsei dressed susielike and more like ralsei's slightly warped mental image of what susie is to her!)

i hated him on my first playthrough but if i spent all that time trying to court a hyperdilfy bisexual bear and he told me he was “only playing along” and my attention was “unwanted” i woulda started eating my own organs

[abandoned-quiche]

pissed me off when asgore said "very, very interesting". sir you can't reclaim that

[anonymousyellowlizard]

This fandom (like all spaces lmao) is so fucking awful to trans women and transfems and unashamedly so because they go unchallenged under the guise of "letting people have fun". And then you're in the transfem ralsei tag talking shit??

No. It isn't "fun" to be around raging transmisogynists who refuse to examine their biases. It isn't fun when you show your misogyny, your racism, your transphobia and especially your transmisogyny every day so shamelessly and intimidate and harass anyone who dares to call you out. Transfems in the utdr fandom get behind me, and racialised folks get behind me too, we need to start killing

Quarter finals

Who is your favorite character?

Tenna

Ralsei

Remaining time: 10 hours

Propaganda

Tenna:

"i love his complex character, everytime i read his analyses from other users on tumblr i wanna cry and hug him non-stop. also adore his sillines & moe. his stupidness & patheticness. + he's my comfort character, that helped me through hard times in my live. im doomed to love this stupid tv Godness gracious"

Ralsei:

"my goat has one million mental complexes, doesn’t believe they are a real person, and the way they are sidelined or objectified by both the narrative itself and the fandom in various cases contributes to a deeper reading of the character. what’s not to love? anyways invest in ralsei relevance stocks 2026 make them more fandom relevant NOW we can’t let spamtenna keep beating them on the ao3 stats"

[deltarune-make-out-tournament]

Quarter finals

Who is your favorite character?

Pink

Berdly

Remaining time: 10 hours

Propaganda

Pink:

"Is the 2-in-1 deal too much? I liked the boss fight a lot since getting good at it felt rewarding. Ignoring the literal rewards, the puzzle aspects of the intermissions felt like a gift for managing to take less damage. Character wise, I like her design and the Lightner's (I do assume it's Mad-stablook again) personality is fun to play with in my mind."

Berdly:

"I can personally relate to Berdly in a deep level, whether he masks himself to feel superior, confuse platonic relationships to romantic ones, and being constantly forgotten. I love my little blue-bird and nothing will change that🐦💙🎮"

@number-1-pink-fan this is a downright emergency

PINK KICK HIS ASS

[ralseipastries]

deltarune fans will genuinely try to convince you Ralsei isn't a main character and then get mad when proven wrong

[the-swaggy]

Hey guys I think my game's broken!

[elytraqueen]

you ever think about how every single person in the detarune fandom who wants to misgender kris due to being a shithead opts for he/him. makes you think sometimes

[elytraqueen]

here's a video game. you get to play as the world's most TMA dog

[bugs-buggers]

i can understand all of the multigender/bigender/genderfluid/whatever headcanons for ralsei. there is textual evidence for that. i would, however appreciate if the people headcanoning this could look deeper into the subtext of these scenes?

was her saying that she could be a prince if kris wanted her to be her saying that she was genderfluid, or was she saying that to further herself by immediately submitting herself to whatever kris wanted?

was she ‘comfortable’ in her masculinity before any of this happened, just by reading into the subtext a little bit?

and although i doubt anyone who actually believes in these headcanons will try the next one,

why are you headcanoning her as this? why are you believing so hard that ralsei, the character who is commonly portrayed as being forced into a masculine role, who is heavily hinted at being a trans girl, beloved by transfems for encapsulating their feelings, as something that isn’t a trans girl?

genuinely, why can’t you just let her be a woman?
