Yeah, there’s a real chance Dess changed her name from “December”.

From the Ice-E “sighting” page, we can see that even a very young Noelle calls her “Dess”.

But the “news” reporter will still link to https://deltarune.com/december/ to recommend Dess’s sightings, which is now a 404 page:

…while, on the other hand, like you said, the “Dess” page does work.

Noelle and Rudy will unfailingly call Dess “Dess”. They never actually call her “December”.

Even the game itself never actually calls Dess “December” - the word itself is never said aloud, and almost treated like taboo.

Noelle responded to spam emails for “friend finders” to search for “Dess”.

This puzzle will slowly spell out December, but Noelle doesn’t appear to notice.

She’s not looking at the letters; she’s looking at Kris (almost as if for comfort).

Since Noelle called her Dess even at such a young age, when the town news reporter still linked to a page calling her “December” (indicating she was, at some point, generally called that)…

…maybe she wanted to be called “Dess” since she was little, before actually changing it.

I know we always use this scene to say Dess must have disappeared before the Spelling Bee, when Noelle was very young…

…but what if Noelle just didn’t even want to spell the wrong name for her sister?

Noelle never has any trouble saying “Dess”, even for lighthearted moments…

…but she’ll never say the word “December”.

Hey! It'd be really cool if you drew Kris (or a different character, if you'd prefer) dressed like Magolor from Kirby!

Love the comic by the way, I usually find it difficult to get into fan-stuff (Except games occasionally) but these comics are real good!

Did I draw him in this outfit just because of the "Ralsei will betray you" theory?

... Yes. But they both are mages, so it still works

“I am aware that this request is fundamentally selfish. I can offer no justification for it, no argument in its favor. It is simply the outcome I desire to see the most.”

I was worldbuilding two bog standard fantasy species, wise old tree dudes and impulsive little rat guys, when I realized it was far funnier if they had each other's personalities.

The rat guys think fast and talk fast, but they're incredibly conservative and like to cover all the angles before they take any action. This comes with being a prey species: their ancestral environment had lots of clever traps and devious hazards, so you get rat councils wisely working the problem.

The tree dudes speak and move slowly, but they will propose and then do the most insane things you can imagine. They can slot together a rocket in an afternoon and will then use it without so much as a test fire first. They test new potions by quaffing them down, sometimes not even waiting for it to cool (though they're tree dudes, so I guess quaffing a potion just means pouring it over their root legs). This comes from the ancestral selection process too: the tree dudes that won were the ones that took big risks, that grew faster, stronger, and tried new things without worrying about consequences. The tree dudes evolved in an era when they had no natural predators and their only competition was each other.

And this is, of course, initially confusing for any human who makes contact with them. If a giant bearded tree nods at you solemnly and tells you to go through a portal, your first thought is not that he's curious about what will happen to spacetime. And if a hyperactive little rat guy tells you with some urgency that you must accompany him into a ruined city, you won't immediately think that this is step 11 of his branching 27 step plan.

Bro you got the whole squad feeling remorseful that, even after being given mercy, you chose to stick to your cruel ways and ended up being your own downfall.

Kinda fucked up and nasty how vampires drink blood, imo. Like. Pepsi costs a dollar seventy five

in 9th grade i was getting picked on in class and this girl was like “fuck you guys leave him alone” and called me over to her seat and I was like “thx lol” and she was like “I have something special to show you don’t tell the teacher” and I said “ok” and she pulled a guinea pig out of her purse
