Day four (FOR REAL THIS TIME) Frisk and flowey who i always seem to draw in the same pose LOL

keep getting glimpses into an alternate timeline where plurality is more normalized and you can buy shitty tshirts and mugs about it

I was innocently buying a soda and a Kit Kat bar from a snack shop recently when the cashier said, "Oh, a Kit Kat! That's what I named my cat!" and then launched into An Monologue.

Nobody was behind me in line, which seemed to be a good reason for her to treat me to a five minute retelling of the identification, rescue, and argument over initial custody of Kit Kat, who was so small they thought when they first heard him crying for help that he was a bird and not a kitten in a tree, and is now fifteen pounds of "pure, sculpted lardass".

And I didn't mind, precisely, I wasn't bored or anything, but around the time she was bringing me up to speed on Kit Kat's current status it occurred to me that this woman is a cashier in a store that primarily sells candy bars and beverages. People must buy Kit Kat bars from her multiple times a day. Does she do this every time there's nobody in line behind the purchaser? Did I just have that I Own Several Cats And Will Enjoy Your Cat Stories look about me? Was it the first time it occurred to her that she sold the brand of candy bar she named her cat after? Was she new to the job of selling Kit Kat bars?

The idea that every time she sees a Kit Kat bar she is gripped by the urge, Manchurian Candidate style, to retell the story of Kit Kat the Cat, elevates her from a friendly cashier to a deep enigma. Truly there is no knowing the mind of another.

IT GETS FUNNIER

I was in the same snack shop, which I'm in, like, once a month, recently. I only recognized her because I spent five minutes listening to this monologue in sincere wonder. But I did recognize her, so as I was buying a soda and a Milky Way bar (this time) I said, without thinking about how this would come across, "Hey, how's Kit Kat?"

She looked genuinely horrified and said, "What...how?"

"Oh fuck!" I blurted. "Sorry! You told me about him last time!"

This is still quite cryptic as responses go but she gave me a frankly frantic look of sudden recognition and said, "He's fine! You bought a Kit Kat! I was unmedicated!"

I did not inform her she is small town famous on Tumblr and instead just said, "Glad you're both doing well!" and we parted as confused and mortified friends.

Gosh she's fun. I hope she's there next time. I want to reenact the Spiderman Pointing meme with her.

we gonna talk about how recontextualized this scene is after chapter 5 (statement)

knowing that Kris does have feelings for Susie, and that Susie's ability to feel comfortable expressing hers depends in large part on reciprocity

their respective body language makes so much sense:

Kris doesn't feel like they can/should express their feelings for Susie but they want to, so they take a step back but don't actually let go once they've gotten that close, while Susie leans forward at the same time as they lean back

Susie, mistaking Kris pulling her close for reciprocal desire (in this case, to also want to bite her hair lol like she wants to bite theirs) (because they aren't normal) tries to close the distance further

and she's actually really upset that Kris rejects that advance when she thought it was something they initiated!

so Susie would want to be pulled closer by Kris and would lean into it if they did, but Kris, pulling her closer than they were supposed to, doesn't feel like they can take a step forward but also can't bring themself to let go. and if she took that final step forward they'd be screwed.

#prev>#at this point I think if Kris had really pulled Susie in to kiss her she would have let them #and if Susie had really kissed them after sounding like she was about to they would have let her #but because of their various hangups neither of them were ready for it at all #and as of CH 5 they've both got exactly all of those hangups still #deltarune spoilers #deltarune
