Hey why do you believe kris is a vessel for us?
the game lets you know kris hardly has any personality, it was always asriel the one making you do things, how he dragged you to school. how kris is always just sitting away from everyone and how he was kind of creepy.
Look at his room, and compare it to asriel’s side, asriel has his side filled with trophies and books and comics and games, Kris’ side is empty, he has no interests at all, he does not have a personality, while he has emotions (which he only shows once in the entire game towards the ending in the fight with the spades king) he doesn’t show emotion at ALL, whenever something is threatening his life, even when everyone else reacts in shock his expression does’t change.
Asgore hugs him and he’s just there. Whenever susie and asgore lift him eh’s like a ragdoll, he doesn’t emote at all.
all these actions make me think he’s just an empty, emotionless husk meant only for us to be used as a vessel to interact with this world
This is a really, really, really bad take.
the game lets you know kris hardly has any personality,
This is literally just straight-up false. Kris arguably has more personality than most people in the town.
They’re mischievous, and like to play pranks and such.
They wanted to be like their family, so they wore a headband with horns. for MONTHS.
They care about their friends, and get visibly annoyed when people speak badly of them.
QC speaks fondly of them. And… They miss their brother.
A lot.
They have likes and dislikes.
They have a sense of humor.
They do various silly things.
They don’t want to be talked to like they’re a kid.
They’re normally quiet.
All of these things show Kris’ personality. You have to be being intentionally obtuse to not notice any of these things.
Asgore hugs [them] and [they’re] just there. Whenever susie and asgore lift [them, they’re] like a ragdoll, [they don’t] emote at all.
That’s.. because they don’t like those types of hugs. Asgore says this out loud.
This scene, among other things (like them not talking much, not being very expressive, and generally being an outcast), hints toward Kris being neurodivergent. I hope I don’t need to explain to you why calling a neurodivergent-coded kid an “empty, emotionless husk” is, um, really awful and harmful.
Also, you probably won’t even bother to listen to this, but Kris uses they/them pronouns. They’re clearly meant to be non-binary, stop gendering them.
