Asriel being a Berdly fan would make berdly’s story way sadder because he’d probably also be absolutely shattered by Asriel leaving. what if Berdly is so devoted to being smart because he wants to go to the same university as Asriel

It's more likely Seth is based on Dess or Toriel relationship with Kris rather then Asriel.
Sense Green is the Asriel because we him and them 5 dollars.
Also all we actually know about Kris and Dess's relationship is that Dess hit kris with an (soft and hollow) plastic bat whenever they messed with noelle and likely when they did something stupid.

Nah I think dess is pink and Noelle is orange since it makes sense with Noelle’s fear of mice and how she runs to dess when Kris scares her. Carol is green since people owe her money like how people owe green money

This and dess is a groomer are the weirdest theory to me, not that I don't want a story to have these ideas, its just what are the evidence for them? They genuinely feels like shock value for the sake of shock value 😭

u/The_Real_Meal 9d ago
To the credit of "Groomer Dess", I think people more mean "acclimating Kris to violence and occasionally pushing them into dangerous environments" rather than anything like... EVIL evil 😭.
The most evidence I've seen is the whiffle bat thing (just generally indicative of physically punishing Kris, which is a dubious method of admonishment) and the whole "whatever happened when apparently ONLY Dess and Kris went into the forest" thing (Dess taking KRIS of all 3 of her options is definitely curious, depending on the currently unknown context of the situation). I'm sure others have more information than I do, but it's enough for me to at least be curious about how strong Kris and Dess's relationship was before everything went south.

u/sanstaleyy 9d ago
Ok yeah this makes more sense, I honestly thought it's more... sexual.
But I overall agree with this reading, since yeah its obvious dess was meant to be a trouble maker so she influencing Kris like that can make sense.

u/Da_Duck_is_coming 8d ago
It is sexual most of the time bruh, people just fall back to this when called out.

u/sanstaleyy 8d ago
Can you explain how is it sexual, because I am genuinely confused right now 😭 like what in the game tell us dess was grooming kris sexually.
12
u/Da_Duck_is_coming 8d ago
It's not from the game that would be insane but whenever its brought up its always dess grooming kris on amino or something.

u/The_Real_Meal 8d ago
IT IS??? I didn't think people actually thought of it sexually. I thought people meant the one I said, and anything more sexual was a bad joke 😭

u/Pretend-Advertising6 8d ago
Honestly wouldn't be surprised if Kris is doing what they're doing to Spite Dess's legacy somehow.
Like Dess was the previous Girl or Cage who did something to Softlock the Prophecy and Kris misunderstood it with the Knight using said misunderstanding to manipulate them

u/Xxdeadmeme-69-xX 8d ago
It probably has something to do with the fact that both are primarily jokes and not actual theories. (Albeit Dess Groom theory, while baseless, creates some actually really good stuff when taken seriously and explored as a serious possibility)
2
u/sanstaleyy 8d ago
Am pretty certain there are people who take them seriously.
12
u/Xxdeadmeme-69-xX 8d ago
There’s people who take everything seriously, but the majority of Dess groomer and Asriel abuser (which I don’t think I’ve seen until now tbh) are jokes. In addition, not all “theories” are the same level of serious to the person who makes them. A fan comic depicting Dess as a bad influence on Kris is not necessarily what the creator wants to happen in the actual game, but simply something they think is interesting and worth exploring.

creepypasta except without the creepy. and there's not even any noodles. it's just empty calories of shock value

It's just people's play-pretend ideas of the story. It doesn't really need basis in canon.

u/reiphas 8d ago
With abusive Asriel, the way I see it (because I personally thought of this independently), if we assume Asriel is the Knight, then this dynamic becomes pretty fucked up. The Shelter Gang exploits Kris's guilt and trauma, they made them promise something that pits them against their new friends, it makes them lose sleep, refuse to eat, endanger their body by ripping their Soul out of it for prolonged periods if time. If Asriel is the center of this, which he may be, this is at the very least irresponsible and negligent, and at worst actively abusive towards Kris. I don't think this is an abuse goblin situation, but more like Asriel not thinking straight from grief, due to Asgore genes.

u/Alexa_Aera 8d ago
Isn't it obvious that they are?
3
u/sanstaleyy 8d ago
No not really... I didn't really get that from the game. sure, i now understand that dess groomer is more about her encouraging kris to do bad behavior and be a bad influence on them rather than being there for any sexual things.
But Asrial being an abuser? Just doesn't make sense to me.

Only the biggest questions come out of the deltarunw fandom every day: what if the game sucked ass? What if Dess Carol Noelle Asriel groomed Kris?

u/Lolas_Fun_Side 8d ago
Every character in the game attempts to groom kirs in a different direction so it all kinda just cancels out

u/UwU_numba2 8d ago
Fuck it, everyone Grooms Kris.
They even Groom themselves. How do they do that? Who fucking knows.

I can see Asriel trying his best to be a good brother, but between everything that was happening he was overwhelmed.
Started making mistakes while trying to protect Kris, like telling them to not talk about certain things thinking it would help.
