small side note: during the part where i talk about kris playing the piano, the audio got scuffed so the piano sound jumpscares you while im talking. so srry bout that >< also ill definitely make sure to up my mic volume next time. thx!
ahhh, honestly I think I completely forgot about it lol. Though, it is a pretty minor statement, might just be saying Kris doesnt like pickles, or their leaving it for Asgore sincr he has no other food. good observation!!
@@llumi_nate Also i just remembered the fight vs susie and lancer, where you can choose anything as kris for flavo text aboutt them ( if you counted that as not important than i missed it sorry)
The fact that Kris is known for playing the piano in the hospital a lot confirms that they don’t come to Noelle’s house just for the piano like Noelle was afraid of, but they come for her:]
12:45 to be fair it's not totally impossible that Kris got all that food to people please. It's implied that the only friends they had prior to chapter 1 were Asriel who's currently in college, Dess who went missing, and Noelle who they don't seem to be as close to as they once were (there's also Catti but we don't know the full extent of their relationship with her) pair that with them being the only human in town and it's possible that they were just very lonely. Another possibility is that since (I think?) Bratty mentions she got sick after eating all the food, maybe Kris put laxatives in there
It's also possible Kris just wanted to hang around big kids. Assuming they were a few years younger, wanting to hang around kids older than them isn't unusual, especially taking into account Asriel was likely there too.
I'm not 100% sure, but if you start straight from chapter two, Kris makes certain choices around Hometown in chapter one. I think they tell Undyne about the dark world, and I don't think they visited Asgore. This will be interesting for future chapters because we can see the choices Kris really wanted to make.
@@edwardbo4666if you mean random literally, then no. The same choices are made. Whether or not the choices are relevant in the slightest could be up for debate.
@@samsclubhouse i think they meant the choices kris specifically makes are random and have no meaning, not that they do different ones every time you start chapter 2
i love when teenagers analyze teenagers because we understand them better and can contextualize their behaviour in ways other people can't, so i really like this video and your perspective on kris' behaviour because it makes a lot of sense and made me think more about it. hope to see more stuff from you soon!!1
Honestly, Deltarune's whole plot with Kris and the soul just brings out a sense of existential horror to me. I mean at least in Undertale, Frisk wasn't actually a person. They were just an avatar we used to play the game with(outside of headcanon). But in Deltarune you're essentially hijacking someone else's freedom to act. They have zero agency. And the worst part is, that they're aware of everything. Their mind is still very much theirs. They're not an empty husk that changes alignment based on player gameplay preferences, but a living breathing person with their own thoughts and feelings. I'm honestly surprised Kris hasn't lost it yet, because they're literally at the mercy of an outside force who as far as they know can make them do anything, no matter how immoral or heinous.
yeah i've been thinking about this a lot too. especially with the snowgrave route. the whole thing is just US. kris has like no say in the matter at all. to the point where we legit k-word their classmate. must be insanelyy traumatizing
Frisk is actually could be a real character (implied by a singular line of dialogue). After a True Pacifist route, when you are going to true reset, Flowey tries to convince you not to, with them saying "Let Frisk live their life" at one point. Additionally, at the end of True Pacifist you can also tell Toriel that "you have places to go", suggesting that they have friends that we do not know about, but this doesn't seem as significant.
@@rz2374 I mean, Flowey saying that IS confirming Frisk is a real character, it's heavily implied and never contradicted, plus plenty of characterization beforehand to back it up. I've seen a lot of people be in an extreme amount of denial that Frisk isn't a self-insert, feels so odd to me.
About Kris getting attached to the horned headband and probably wishing they were a monster too, I personally believe that this is where Ralsei originated from. I believe Ralsei is that horned headband. If I recall correctly, Toriel says the horns were red. Ralsei strongly resembles the rest of the Dreemurr family besides Kris. What do you get when you combine red and white? Pink, the color of Ralsei's horns. That horned headband being Ralsei would explain why Ralsei resembles the Dreemurrs: Ralsei may be what Kris themself used to wish they were. It would also explain why Ralsei warms up to Kris so quickly: the emotional bond Kris had with that headband.
would also explain why kris seems to be so uncomfortable around ralsei. imagine meeting an idealized version of who you wished you were. probably wouldn't feel great
If you hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have noticed you said "interesting" so many times. I know this feeling well when we need point out something we're aware of to minimise the impact of occasional rudeness coming from people, that's in a lot of cases our anxiety speaking and...boy, I have done that many times. But just letting you know that it's fine and you're doing great. Sometimes when I make art, I publish it and notice an error, but literally no one else does, so for the most part, people won't even notice unless you point it out. This might cause a conflict in your head, I get it, but one of a few great ways to tackle that is to subtly point it out somewhere where people won't usually see it, so you have the point of "I'm aware, you don't have to say it lol", while also making sure people aren't fully aware of it whenever it happens. I personally enjoyed your speech and points a lot, you're alright and "interesting" is a great word so don't sweat it :^)
Got this recommended after watching a bunch of deltarune theories, this is such a great archive and a lot of attention to detail Looking forward to part 2 and i hope the video blows up
I never really thought to much of these details, but It’s cool to see the picture that these subtle hints paint of Kris! I kind of see them as blunt, anti-social, and a little naïve, (Which is mainly how I interpret their interaction with the ‘big kids’ and getting so attached to the horned headband.) They also seem apprehensive about forming new relationships, but fiercely loyal to the ones they care about. Great vid, I’m really looking forward to how Kris develops as a character in future installments!
“Man, this video is really quiet and the speaker sounds very soft spoken, surely putting my volume to the highest setting so I can hear something won’t bit me in the ****!” [super loud noise at 7:16] And now my ears are bleeding and the ringing wont stop… lovely.
4:13 I believe the “thorough lesson” refers to ralsei’s tutorial, as in it isn’t necessary to fight but if he’s teaching how to battle he might as well teach everything there is :) And nice video! I wish it was a bit louder but I saw you say you’ll adjust that going forward and I’m excited to see what you make next!
this theory was actually interesting unlike the rest of the fan base being like: KRIS IS CHARA GASTER IS CHARA EVERY UNDERTALE CHARACTER WAS ACTUALLY JUST BEING POSSESSED BY CHARA
I honestly haven’t seen that theory much since chapter 2 came out. Everyone that cares about Deltarune lore this much recognize that Kris is their own character and the player is separate.
I must say, maiby i kinda exagerated,i mean,when deltarune ch.1 released,there was a good part of the fandom that thinked kris was chara,but now a the times of ch.2 luckly most realized it was not like that,so 30% is too low,but if we want to take in consideration other theorys of that caliber,like kris is THE Knight,maiby 30% is still kinda low,
when lancer notes that kris doesn’t look interested, i think it’s a nod to how they always have a straight, emotionless face. we can’t control their face and neither can they, or if they can then it’s too much effort to do anything except 😐 so it might not be that kris isn’t interested, just that they can’t look interested. thank you for collecting all these events into one place!
Kris likely isn't interested, since they are capable of emoting, even if we can't see it. The first thing that comes to mind is post-Spamton NEO, they're freaked out, and if you select Yes when asked if you're okay, Susie gets Kris to smile. Another example is their distress post-Snowgrave. There's probably others, but those two stand out most, though they are more extreme due to the circumstances.
I forgot about Kris wanting to hang out with the older teens in Ch. 1's dialouge, great work collecting all the info! Looking forward to the next video! ((:
usually i get distracted by other things when i watch analysis videos, but this one was very interesting! i'm looking foward to part two :3 next time u should make the audio a bit louder cus i had to increase the volume a lot 😅
4:10 I never thought of that particular way of reading the "thorough lesson" line, I had always interpreted it through the lens of Ralsei's general aversion to violence in his dialogue, and the matter of him educating us in the art of combat. Ralsei stealthily slipping in a double meaning like that definitely also makes sense to me.
Great video, always nice to see deltarune discussions in video form like this which analyse characters. One critique I may add is that the audio when you use the in game scenes and other clip ins was quite loud in comparison to your voice audio
i think kris was more friends with asriel and his friends then they were with the kids in their own class. they use to be friends with noelle but seem to have drifted apart ever since dess disappeared (maybe kris knows what happened to her and feels guilty?) this is why kris misses asriel so much because when he left for college kris lost pretty much all of their social interactions. this is also why susie is so important to kris because shes the first real friend they've had in a long time
I was looking for a video like that!!! I was picking those small details throughout the chapters , but a whole video about it is much better. Thank you!
Awesome video, I really like the points you made, and using the choice dialogue to help back it up. Was something I was gonna look into myself too at somepoint. Looking forward to seeing more content :)
Commenting before I watch: I'm excited for this video! I had often thought about this myself, but not done much looking into it on my own. Thanks so much for uploading! Will probably comment more later!
Glad someone's making an archive dedicated to this! The video itself could use a bit more editing to tighten up the pace, but it wasn't too bad as is. Besides that and the audio levels, I can't think of anything else to critique. Maybe the old "record from under your fluffiest blanket" trick to get the room echo under control, but that's more of a nit pick. Can't wait to hear more of that soothing voice!
this is really interesting! i love how you articulate your thoughts and i overall love how you made this video. you definitely gained a sub! can't wait for the ch2 video :)
Very awesome video! I'll definetly rewatch it many times from now on. Also don't worry about making mistakes when talking, I know if I tried to make a video like this one, I wouldn't even be able to start talking.
tbh kris reminds me a lot of my sibling like there are some part where you said kris isn't the type to be people pleaser or like obedient but he did that and it reminded me a lot of my sibling like when they were young they were cute mischievous and well the obedient parts you could say it's just bcause they were dumb as f lmao hahahaha idk i just wanted to say how similar the character is to real people there are people like this who aren't exactly like hmm like often predictable? sometimes they have patience most of the time they dgaf and just wanna go to sleep lgagagagagaag
"More than 10 views" bless, how do you feel about your 15,000 views? I'm the kind of person to make overarching theories, so this video was very helpful thanks! One thing, I remember when Kris sits at their booth and drinks the hot chocolate, their throat seizes up (I think from holding back tears, so they miss azzie a lot). Theres probably a fee other things you missed, but I dont think anybody else anywhere has tried making a comprehensive list of these moments, so you're doing great!! Can't wait for the next video, you gained another subscriber :)
Great video! Pretty high quality for a first video. I liked that you kept in the parts where you misspoke, it definitely made the video seem more funny/sincere. (Though, putting them at the end could be better. Not sure, I’m not an expert.)
When you go to the dinner and drink the hot chocolate the moment they give it to you, Kris gets chocked up :(( it really shows how their parents divorce and Asriel moving away for college really affects them
heard what sounded like snoring in a few parts? pretty cool vid, wish it DID include chapter 2 instead of splitting it into two parts, but i understand why you didnt do it. can't wait for part 2!
11:05 Toby could have put in the piano like it was in Undertale, but most likely because it is hard to dicern if it is a good or bad play he made it not playable. So when you use it, it is only one action and not a music played, as you can not play any keys yourself. Therefore Kriss is annoyed that he can not play music as they only do only one "note". (this is shown in chapter 2 when you do it with Susie as she mentioned that Kriss is pretty pissed off that he can not play it)
This video was really interesting. Jokes aside, I really loved this because surprisingly nobody has made a video like this in RU-vid. Like you said in the beginning, it's usually only on reddit or another platform where stuff like this gets talked about :,D
Really loved the idea of having a comprehensive archive of all of Kris' own actions, thoughts and decisions, hope to see more from your videos (also just as a sidenote, the volume of King's cutscene made me jump and hit the ceiling through the floor, maybe next time if you use a cutscene you should be aware of it)
I really liked this video, and since this is your only one, Im gonna guess youre just starting out on RU-vid. Not bad for a first video. The only thing I will say tho is work a bit more on the audio. Some parts are a bit quieter and some others are a bit louder. But overall, not bad!
THIS VIDEOS IT'S AWESOME I mean, this will sound dumb, but on these days I've thinking about what choices Kris will choose if they... You know, doesn't have us controlling them practically all the time. And then, I found out this video, which I consider that is done very well and you talk about all that in a way that is easy to understand If you do a part 2, I'll surely watch it Note: Also, don't worry about the "Interesting" thing, it sounds something that would happen to me too, and the fact that you did all this video by yourself is amazing. Have a nice day!
50 views? Gal this video is great! You covered a lot! It was very nice to watch. Also you have nice voice! I'm not sure if you're stressing a bit as it's your only video on the channel, but believe me that I enjoyed the video! Keep up great work!
Good video! With some editing advices the comment section gave you can improve of course but it's about trial and error until you master it, this is a great first video and I can see you with lots of subs if you continue making videos! Honestly I didn't even know it was a first video until I checked your channel
Sans would definitely appreciate your DOE-meanor joke. Also that Let's Not fight is an interesting detail I never noticed before. Also I think it's fine the amount of times you say interesting, may just be over-thinking about it there. Lol I accidentally just realized I did it myself too just a sentence earlier actually. But anyway, great video, I enjoyed the refresher of all the neat dialog options and your discussion about them. Also since you asked my only critique would be that the volume for your voice was maybe too low, since I had slight trouble hearing you. Not asking you to speak up or anything, I actually speak kinda quiet myself sometimes and have trouble with that so I'd feel wrong to say that. But just wondering if that's something that can be boosted a bit more in editing or something if that makes any sense. But it's fine regardless, as I made it through the whole video. I also liked your humor in some parts too. Anyway, good work 👍
I enjoy your calm demeanor and sense of humor (especially you pointing out your repetition and incorrectly written grammer in the script... it's relatable ( T∀T) ) Very nice (or should I say "interesting" :P) observations! It was also unusual to me the way that Kris slammed the how-to book closed, it seems to communicate a discomfort with other humans (and possibly theirself). I FINALLY played Deltarune for the first time and I love it so. Much. I have to know everything about this game. I want to make dem fanarts too!
Great video! The voice is a little quieter than everything else so some balancing would be wonderful! Don't worry about it though just thought I'd say something because my own videos have that issue too
Maybe when Kris gave the cakes to Bratty, they "poisoned" them (like laxatives or something less extreme like.. dirt) and that's why Bratty says she got sick, just an over complicated idea lol.
14:18 you say no theory crafting and yet! nah i loved the video, this aspect of kris's personality shine through is something i havent seen talked on much
There was one more choice (sort of): you can choose to give the White Ribbon to Ralsei instead of equipping it to Kris. This one probably goes either way. I don't know if Kris knows or remembers that the ribbon belongs to Noelle (which I think was pointed out either in Ch2 or in the Spamton Sweepstakes), so I don't think it'd be too out of character for him to just give it to Ralsei. After all, he doesn't strike me as the kind of teen who would want to wear ribbons. Also, if you start Ch2 without a save from Ch1, Ralsei shows up with the ribbon equipped anyways. So maybe Kris just wanted to be nice to Ralsei in that instance.
i found this video very very interesting... (seriously tho it's a cool video and i didn't mind you saying the word interesting so much. i don't think i'd even notice if it wasn't pointed out tbh. words are hard, and everything seems to be communicated well and like... things really are interesting! and i think it's ok if you struggle with expressing things in more variety of words, you'll improve if you keep working on it, but no need to try to do everything perfectly immediately, it's really not possible and often leads to either way overdoing things or barely doing things at all..)
Come ooon, you didn't get to the best part but i guess it is because it is in chapter 2 but the video has more than 10 views like you said in the end so i will be waiting for you to do the next one i guess. Also i didn't knew some of the Noele dialogue even though i played the game so it was good seeing that
