the-punning-ubus:hellspawnmotel:baby, it’s cold outside tags: #ironically our fucking heat is broken so its cold inside too lol#deltarune#snowgrave#noelle holiday#the player#this is not kriselle if you couldnt tell but it carries some vibes#art tag#sorry im gonna go on another tag rant about my ~process~#this came from a few places. one being noelle is my current muse for expressing thoughts on femininity in fiction#bc for all intents and purposes noelle is ‘the girl’ of deltarune#like there are other girls obviously but noelle is ‘the girl’. you get me#shes the damsel. she’s the apocalypse maiden. shes the love interest#she has powerful magic but a pathetic physical attack which is almost a given for female characters in RPGs#and the thing is she plays all those tropes pretty straight buts its actually done WELL#because chapter 2’s story is all about her development and her weakness is not used as a tool to show off how powerful or cool others are#and her true strength lies in learning to stand up for herself emotionally#meanwhile in snowgrave she learns to fight good. she destroys everything in her path. shes the powerhouse of the party#she becomes stronger only in the sense of ‘might makes right’#but its false strength. its all achieved through complete trust of a greater power and doing what shes told#girl power!!#so theres that#and theres also the fact that the weird romantic undertones to snowgrave are moreso between noelle and the player than noelle and kris#i think it was manlybadasshero who compared it to dating mechanics in games and ‘bullying out the competition’#ive also seen people complain that kriselle is portrayed in fandom as ‘heteronormative’#and thats silly but in the case of snowgrave i kind of agree and thats why its fascinating and horrifying to me#two inarguably queer kids being forced into the roles of husband and wife by forces they cant understand#(something something abt how when people misgender kris they always use he/him)#uhhhh i think thats all i have. if i think of more meta i’ll add it later#sorry noelle bby i love yooooouuuuuuuuu772 notes -- source link
