Speaking of susie after my last post, i think it's weird that people assume she's dumb or completely unaware of noelle's thoughts on her and not just seeing things as too good to be true?
Like we played the same deltarune right, according to her chapter 3 speech to tenna, susie has been broken down for years and years and has never had friends or a home for long. she is naturally sceptical of people, acts antisocial, and exerts force over other kids just to hold any power in her situation. Susie sees the idea of having people who genuinely care about her as too good to be true and either subconciously or conciously denies it being the case until it's proven otherwise. In chapter 1 she doesnt warm up to the main cast for a long time, and when she is betrayed by lancer her reaction is what many people who have been in her situation would do. She let her impulses control her and believes she was right, her intuition was correct, and it really was too good to be true. The same thing happens with tenna in chapter 3 and ralsei in chapter 4. She slowly warms up to somebody and then sees them as having betrayed her and thinks "i knew this wouldn't work out. It's just like the rest of the times. "
All this to say i think the reason she seems so oblivious to noelle is her subconciously seeing the idea of a nice girl she finds cute (source: tail wagging, blushing, clear festival connotations, tea, "a girl like her?" etc) liking HER as bewildering and unreal. Susie explicitly sees herself as unwanted and underserving of care from others, so the idea of somebody liking her like that would reasonably just be absurd to her.
The thing that really seals the deal on this theory for me is, as with ralsei and tenna and lancer and kris, you quite litterally watch susie warm up to noelle and start to slowly subconciously let herself start believing.
In chapter 1 she ignores noelle, being at the height of her antisocial behaviour and only really knowing of her as a nice girl in her class that she thinks about sometimes (source: ferris wheel scene).
In chapter 2 she is so focused on the dark world and so deep in her beliefs that she assumes noelle must be finding out their "secret identities", then in the dark world she starts noticing noelle more and more and eventually you get to the room scene and ferris wheel scene, which reveal alot about susie as a character and how she percieves noelle. The ferris wheel scene presents susie as surprised at noelles feelings but pleasantly so, even asking how noelle would feel about "the real susie". She uses the lie about the dark worlds to probe noelle and assess even further if this is yet another betrayal waiting to happen.
Chapter 3 doesnt do much for the noelle side of this other than establishing susies beliefs that people will betray her even further.
Chapter 4 has susie actually start believing properly. When told by rudy pretty damn explicitly that noelle likes her, she blushes and says that a girl like noelle liking her is surprising to her. During holiday house, things finally come to a boil, and susie is having fun and blushing with noelle, and it's quite clear that she is finally believing in noelle. By the end, she invites noelle (and kris) to the festival, with a romantic connotation in the subtext, and stands up to carol to do so, taking a plunge now that she finally believes noelle actually likes her.
In the wierd route, though, things are VERY different, with susie seeming dejected that she couldn't spend time with noelle and seemingly feeling that betrayal she so feared.
Tl;Dr, i think people assuming susie is unnintelligent or completely emotionally unaware is disingenuous and is ignoring one of her main character traits that drives her actions, and there is SUFFICIENT evidence for this in the text.
