dawg I think they’d rather just go on a date with berdly
this really was the 'kris gets tortured forever' chapter
📱Slimecicle uploaded a new Instagram story!
📱[ESP] Slimecicle subió una nueva historia de Instagram!
“Otro año más en open sauce y otro campeonato de bayblade@/ tommys_chaos Gracias por traer los Beys me sorprende que te hayan dejado subir al avión con blades como esos”
You think that he’s calling this the yellow room
But this is actually a subtle reference to the fact that this is the room you go to to Old Yeller people
what do you think of Berdly deltarune?
I really think he contributes to the game’s themes of isolation. He feels like everything he’s ever earned is a fraud. Almost everything he does is a performance to prove how “smart” he is. He doesn’t have any real friends aside from Kris (go kerdly). Yeah, he studies with Noelle, but he feels like he’s using her and feels pressured to reciprocate her “feelings” for him which aren’t even real. Don’t get me wrong, he’s definitely got an ego, but he feels like a fraud.
I think a lot of people are under the impression Berdly would benefit from having all the lies he tells himself ripped from him. Like, he’s the only person pressuring himself into being smart, Noelle doesn’t have a crush on him, most people think he’s actually a dumbass (I do think he actually is really talented but thats a whole other thing), a lot of the residents of hometown fucking hate him, and his rivalry with Kris is rather one-sided. All these lies are hurting him and isolating him, but I don’t think just revealing the full truth to him would be very helpful. I think this attempt at helping him really comes from a place of wanting to “put him in his place.”
This scenario would be awful for Berdly. He would feel even more isolated, he’d push Noelle away, and he wouldn’t even trust Kris anymore. Yeah, he isn’t lying to himself, but now he’s balled up crying in his room all day. I think the best thing for Berdly would be to help him with his self confidence, reassure him that living up to people’s expectations doesn’t matter, and tell him he doesn’t have to be someone’s love interest. I think Kris is the best gateway for this, because they’re probably the person Berdly is most genuine with, but the great part is that the game is already doing this.
He learned in Chapter 2 that he could be genuine and didn’t have to be smart. Yes, it’s undone by him thinking it was a dream, and yes, there still was an amount of performance to him by the end of the chapter. But I think some of that stuck with him, and it’s at least a start.
The main moment I want to focus on though is Chapter 5. Berdly learns that neither Noelle nor Susie are in love with him (and susie won’t let kris go to the festival with him (I’ll never forgive her)), and you can see the relief fill him. He clearly REALLY doesn’t want to be in a relationship and just feels like that’s what he’s supposed to do. But once he finds out he doesn’t have to, he’s just content to wingman and be awesome. He’s like the #1 Suselle shipper. I was actually at a loss for words when I first saw this scene because he seemed so much happier than we’ve ever seen him.
I have a few (3) more miscellaneous things to say about him:
I heavily headcanon Berdly as aroace if you couldn’t tell (my kerdly is platonic)
I love him so much
And I think it’s really neat that most of this is pretty much happening in the background, it’s a real testament to how well written Deltarune is
Kris deltarune obviously idolizes the people they love while hating themself. They see Susie as an amazing and kind person who they are not worthy of. This is part of why Kris would probably never willingly confess to Susie (at least not with the intent of dating her). This actually applies to most Kris ships. They distance themself from Noelle because they think they’re a bad person; they believe being close to Noelle can only result in her pain. I think it also applies to kralsei too? Theres not nearly as much evidence for them idolizing Ralsei. But its Ralsei. Everyone loves Ralsei.
You know who everyone doesn’t love?
You know who Kris DEFINITELY doesn’t idolize?
Berdly.
THIS IS HOW KERDLY CAN STILL WIN. I MEAN ITS NOT EXACTLY A STABLE FOUNDATION TO BUILD A RELATIONSHIP OFF OF AND IS VERY UNHEALTHY. SO NOT EXACTLY WINNING. BUT THIS IS HOW KERDLY CAN STILL WIN.
Can we be 100% sure that Kris doesn't idolize Berdly, though? (Even if it's subconsciously)
Like... They made a Dark World, and a flower developed a crush on him out of thin air.
And they carry around one of his feathers.
I do think they like Berdly. A lot (kerdly forever). But I don’t think they idolize him the same way they do for Susie or Noelle.
Like this is pretty much head canon at this point, but I think they see Susie and think “you are perfection, I do not deserve you, you are the kindest person I’ve ever met, you are too good for this world, i would literally die for you bc your life is worth so much more than mine.”
Meanwhile with Berdly, they just really like him while being fully aware of his flaws. Like they find comfort in being around him because they hate themself and think they’re a bad person. Like they don’t feel like they’re around someone better than them when they’re with him.
Basically fanfiction at this point, but i think it’s one of the few ways Kerdly could actually happen in game.

Deltarune really is a story where every single ship is emotionally devastating, like
Krusie is like “I have barely known you for three days but I would happily die if it meant I could protect you. I regret every second we spent thinking we hated each other, because now that I see the real you, it’s the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. You are the one person I can truly rely on, even if I have to keep the most devastating of secrets from you that will bury me in the end. I see you, and I love you.”
Kriselle is like “I haven’t had a conversation with you last more than five minutes in years and I can still remember every word we’ve said to each other. We were the closest two people could possibly be without literally sharing a body and now I don’t even know how to talk to you. I pretend like you don’t mean anything to me because admitting how much I still love you terrifies me to the core, and I feel insane guilt every day over the fact I broke us apart. I hope one day you can forgive me for being a terrible friend.”
Suselle is like “You are everything that I am not that I so desperately want to be. You hide your true self away under these layers of facade but I can see the sparkling gem underneath and it is such a beautiful sight, I don’t think I am worthy to behold it. I want to steal every moment I can with you and I will fight to do so even if fate itself attempts to tears us apart. I don’t know if I will ever deserve you but I will still reach out to you, and I will find a way to keep you.”
Susei/Ralsusie is like “We are polar opposites in every way I can imagine and it only brings us closer together. You complete me in ways I did not know I needed to be completed. When everything and everyone told me that I did not matter, you told me I am important not in spite of but because of who I am. I will take every blow and every injury if it means protecting your smile and keeping you safe. I will even destroy my own heart if it means giving you the happiness that I know for a fact you deserve.”
Kralsei is like “What if you met the person that was literally made for you, and that all the world was pushing you together, but there was something wrong? What if the person you were born to fall in love with was an unflattering, bitter depiction of who you are and who you used to be? What if your honest to God Soulmate was keeping secrets and undermining everything you have dedicated your life to do, not out of cruelty or malicious intent, but because it was genuinely what they needed to do, what they were always going to do? And what if, in spite of all of that, you fell in love with each other anyways?”
Kerdly is like “I don’t know if I can call you my friend or say I care about you, but you still define so much of who I am, intentionally or otherwise. I don’t have many people who would give a shit if I live or die, and I don’t know if you’re one of them, but I still need you to be in my life. I will fight you, I will hurt you, I will defy everything you want if I absolutely have to, but when the chips are down I will do whatever it takes to keep you safe. I don’t know if I love you, I don’t even know if I like you, but I still need you, whatever that even means.”
Dessriel…I mean, do I even have to explain that one? Whatever happened, however things went, you already know.
ANY adult Holiday/Dreemurr ship is like “We were once something special, closer than anyone could possibly imagine. My home was your home, and yours was mine. Even outside of what the world might accept, we were one family. Then everything went wrong, and now we’ve fallen apart. My life is crumbling down around me in ways I didn’t even think were possible, and yet I still care about you. I still love you, even as we rapidly approach the end, and the world crumbles down around me. I don’t know if we’re still a family, but you will always be my home.”
I mean, fuck, right?
Love when normal npc fucks up and says 2G on accident and corrects himself to for free
but like
Imagine he said 4G instead
“Didn’t you want to try it? It’s only 4G.
It’s only for free.”
HUGE MISSED WORDPLAY OPPORTUNITY. There’s gotta be a reason he didn’t say 4G bc theres no way Tricky Tony didn’t catch that. Like, I don’t think Toby Fox doesn’t make mistakes like a lot of people do. But wordplay? Its stupid how good he is at wordplay. So there’s no way he missed that, right? Like, when he was writing the line, he had to have made the decision of how much G it’d cost and theres no way this pun didn’t cross his mind. So there’s gotta be something special about 2G specifically.
You can’t buy anything in Undertale for 2G, but you can sell the Nice Cream, Puppydough Icecream, Unisicle, or Temmie flakes to the Tem shop for 2G. Could that mean something? Maybe there’s significance to selling temmie her own flakes back to her? There’d probably be more significance if tem flakes were made of temmie and not paper. Then it’d be like “You’re selling her cannibalism for 2G.”
Im losing my mind
Maybe it’s bc that would be too funny and the lack of thorough wordplay makes it more off putting? I find it imperative that we test this by making a mod of the game that changes only this and give that version of the game to someone who’s never played Deltarune to see how they react relative to the reactions of those exposed to the original. Then we gotta repeat that a few times to make sure our data is accurate, but it would be worth it.
It probably means nothing. But like WHAT IF THIS ANSWERS EVERYTHING?
I started writing this post wanting to make a pun and now im like losing my mind WHAT COULD IT MEAN???? WHAT COULD IT MEAN???
DO I CREEP U OUT?
genuinely obsessed with this song
Version without the words:
Don’t look at the hands, they aren’t there.
you know she's going to learn the truth about you.
how much longer now...?
DELTARUNE TODAY!!!!
OKAY BEFORE CHAPTER 5 DROPS
MY CRAZIEST THEORY (it isn’t mine)
This is a very simple addon to Chocofox7 on youtube’s JockingSIN theory. You can find her explanation of it in this video:
But it breaks down to the story of the evil apple in the garden of eden story being representative of a situation that will happen in chapter 5. Jockington is the snake, the prophecy is god, Susie is Eve, Kris is the apple, and Adam doesn’t matter. So jockington convinces susie to take a bite of the apple, defying god/the prophecy in the process. This is a really rough explanation and I recommend watching her section of the video for more insight (actually watch all of it its peak).
In the video, Chocofox7 states she doesn’t know what Susie taking a bite of the apple actually means. This is my take on what that might be.
Krusie. My take is krusie.
Like, most of the game does actually point towards suselle, so maybe getting krusie would be akin to subverting the prophecy. Ideally, this wouldn’t get in the way of suselle (krusielle for the win!!!). Also, with this interpretation, noelle is adam. So we get suselle at the start, Jockington makes a joke or something that results in krusie, and then we get NORMAL ROUTE KRISELLE (YESYESYESYESYYEYSYSOGOODTHATDBEAMAZING) because Susie is like “Noelle you GOTTA try this.”
The levels of unlikely is insane but I need my krusielle cope.
Idk if any of this is understandable, im going feral bc of the krusielle potential
Alternate theory title: Jockington is krusie satan theory
Or
Jockington is krusielle satan theory
