How even though you’ve had not even two minutes of screen-time, you’re already one of the most complex and captivating characters in all of Deltarune. Carol Holiday. How you sadden, terrify, fascinate, and absolutely enrage me all at the same time. Carol Holiday. How you manage to be so sympathetic, and yet so detestable. Carol Holiday. How I pity you for the pain you’ve endured, and despise you for all the pain you’ve inflicted.
Carol Holiday. How I love that the happy past you once had with your family and the Dreemurrs means so much to you that you’re willing to do anything to reclaim that happiness again. Carol Holiday. How I hate that your obsession with the past is denying everyone a future, for your family, your friends, and everyone in Hometown.
Carol Holiday. How I love that you treasured your daughter’s paper snowflakes so much that you had them bronzed so they can be preserved forever. Carol Holiday. How I hate you for allowing your own daughter to be locked out of her own house, and how the many rules you put in place to protect her are only making her more vulnerable.
Carol Holiday. How I love that you care so much about Noelle’s safety that you went out of your way to cancel a school day because of the rain. Carol Holiday. How I absolutely hate you for how, despite caring about her safety, you’ve inflicted so much emotional harm and abuse on her, how you have destroyed her self-confidence and self-esteem, and how your overprotective parenting is inflicting upon her the very harm you think you’re shielding her from.
Carol Holiday. How I love you for the almost-familial relationship you had with the Dreemurrs, and how you still care about them even after growing apart. How I hate that you’ve taken advantage of Asgore’s predicament and are straining at your relationship with Toriel by endorsing his futile attempts to get back with her despite how clear she's made it she doesn't want to.
Carol Holiday. How I love that you had such a good relationship with Kris, even though they’re so far removed from the perfection, orthodoxy, and normalcy you value. Carol Holiday. How I hate you for exploiting your relationship with them and taking advantage of their guilt and grief to rope them into a plan that is not good yourself and especially not good for them, and have caused them to betray the friends and family.
Carol Holiday. How I love that, despite all the crazy and scary stuff Kris used to do with Noelle, you still allowed them to develop a bond so strong and meaningful, that even after they’ve grown apart, they both still care so much for each other and want to reconnect again. Carol Holiday. How I hate you for refusing to allow Noelle to have a relationship with Susie and refusing to hear both of them out, despite the fact that they clearly love each other so much, and that it would be for the best if they were both together.
Carol Holiday. How I hope that you will see the error of your ways and heal from the pain that your Dess’s disappearance caused you. Carol Holiday. How I hope that Noelle, Kris, Rudy, Asgore, Toriel, and everyone you've wronged crashes out on you for everything you've put them through.
Carol Holiday. How I love all the nuance and care Toby Fox put into your character. Carol holiday. How I hate the fandom for disregarding it so they can portray you as either a heartless villain or some poor, misunderstood saint that has done nothing wrong.
Carol Holiday. How I love you. How I hate you. How I love to hate you. And how I hate that I love you.
