I took some sketch requests on Instagram for the princess/knight Kriselle's... there were sooo many good ones but I couldn't draw them all 😢 Thank you everybody for the requests! Please do not re-upload my art anywhere else

Hello, I didn't realize you were following me! I love your art so so so so much. The way you draw Kris and Noelle is soooo good and your art style in general is so delicate and unique, I really love looking at it! Your compositions, especially the expressions on their face... it's sooo beautiful. I will eagerly await more beautiful Kriselle from you (and anything else!) ❤️

Aaaa I'm flattered, thank you so much!! I'm such a big fan of your art and how you draw Kris and Noelle too!! Your linework is so beautiful, especially in their expressions. I can't believe how much Kriselle has taken over my brain, I'll definitely be drawing a lot more of them!

finally returning to utdr after so long; still figuring out how to draw everyone again

i finally caught up on deltarune! when chapters 3+4 came out i was preoccupied with other things and i wasn't able to dedicate the time to it that it deserves. game of all time, so good my chest clenches up a little just thinking about it… i really regret not keeping up with it, but otoh returning to the game after a break has completely renewed my love for it.

as of now i've played through ch3+4 multiple times and pretty thoroughly explored the different options/hidden things, and looked through the spamton sweepstakes stuff. i still need to finish watching the ut 10th anniversary stream and read through all the newsletters, but if i missed any other utdr content released between ch2 and now please let me know!

In all seriousness, a main reason I believe Mark and Gemma will have some semblance of a happy ending is because of the thistles shown right after their fight in the Chikhai Bardo card scene.

Thistles symbolize strength and resilience, especially in the face of adversity. I think (pray) this means that the Mark/Gemma relationship will survive.

Will it be the same as it used to be? Hell no, they are literally different people now!

But will it be there? Yes, absolutely.

If you don't think there's anything in store for Gemma and Mark in the aftermath of the finale I don't know what to tell you when it's clearly brimming with so much potential: the angst! the hurt and the comfort! the PTSD! the 'life stopped when I became a prisoner', the 'life stopped when they told me you were dead', the 'I ruined myself over you', the 'regaining your own personhood while being legally dead', the 'by finding you I am starting to find myself again', the 'we cannot go back to how we were before and that's alright', the 'we are broken in possibly irreparable ways', the 'I will pick up the pieces of you', the "I still choose you despite what we've been through", the 'relearning how to live', the 'I am still grieving even though you're right here', the 'finding new ways to be and allowing yourself to just be' and everything in between, the coming to terms with it all

Thinking about the scene from Season 1 when Mark rips up this photo of Gemma.

So many layers to that scene but the one I’m most focused on is how it foreshadows what we learn in Season 2: that innie Mark has been unknowingly assisting Lumon in severing Gemma multiple times.

But I think it goes farther than that and teases what’s to come next for Mark and Gemma in Season 3 - namely, reintegration for both of them.

What does Mark do next with the photo? He tapes it back together. His internal monologue ending with the reveal of who his wife is:

I loved all these things about her. Equally.

Reintegration. Dichen Lachman questioning what does it means for someone to have been severed so many times over?

We still don’t know the full extent of Gemma’s severance and how it affects her, especially now that she’s outside Lumon. She’s the only test subject to have survived this long to see completion of the project, as is implied within the show.

Reintegration could be Gemma’s only way of surviving through the trauma of what Lumon put her through. And she will need Mark’s help in pulling all these severed pieces of herself back together.

It has to be Mark. No one else can do it, since he’s the one who helped sever her in the first place but also because Mark loves everything about Gemma - and that would probably extend to her innies. The gentleness and care he expresses towards her Cold Harbor innie (and Mark S towards Ms. Casey) is evidence of that.

They need each other to heal. We’ve seen how love can be self-destructive via Mark’s grief but now that Gemma is alive and free, I think it’s time we see how it can also be this healing and uplifting force.

(Thanks to @gemmafuckingscout for the conversation that led to this observation.)
