The Newest Girl - Deltarune Animatic

I've wanted to do an animatic for The Newest Girl scene from the Spamton Sweepstakes since forever, but have now finally gotten around to doing it! Just in time for Deltarune's 6th anniversary!
Turns out it's still a lot of fun to do animatics for fan stuff, even after already doing them for my job! I hope I get the chance to do more of these in the future!
I hope you enjoy this little anniversary project!

"You saw what happened. And did nothing."

[@santy64xdprro29]

Yeah i also always interpreted Kris just silently seeing Noele like that

[@Parakeetlover3]

Idk, I personally felt like Kris was more feeling like ‘welp. That was awkward-‘ Noelle offered to switch seats with Kris multiple times, and wonders why they don’t tell Toriel, so I doubt Kris would be mad at her after refusing both offers. Also, Noelle’s main point of confusion is how unbothered Kris seems by all of Susie’s stuff lol

[@GuiltyGal]

I could totally see this comment getting 1K by the end of the week or less

[@Rottenishere]

I don’t Kris really gives a shit, they are shown to be rather unbothered by a lot of Susie’s actions. Hell even in chapter 1(when they still are rather distant) the immediate dialogue before the Susie and lancer fight has “let’s not” selected, showing how Kris isn’t one to really want to injure Susie.(that could be due some pacifistic behavior, but I doubt Kris is exactly like Ralsei.)

[@SalamiMilk]

"I bet you were waiting for someone else to take action." *You coward.*

[@ShineDark]

One thing that interests me about this lore is that it suggests Kris really didn’t behave much differently before they were possessed by the player.

@ Oh, right

[@oneinsomebillions3264]

Quite interesting..

[@usernametaken017]

Tbf that post contradicts somethings that happen in "canon" (like noelle knowing that susie eats chalk before the events of the game) so idk. It might be an AU, it might be a small breadcrumb to the timeloop theory, or it might be something else entirely

[@justanobody8156]

Kris was the zombie kid before we possessed him.

[@КостяКиндалюк]

Imagine how different could Deltarune be if Noelle didn't hide in this scene and confronted Susie

[@kowhaifan1249]

I don't think anything would have changed. At most, some slightly different first dialogue and some changed flavor text.

[@КостяКиндалюк]

@kowhaifan1249 If Noelle confronted Susie, everything could change. Susie appreciates Noelle's kindness, so her attempt to understand Susie would totally affect Susie. And by Chapter 1 we would get much friendlier Susie.

[@kowhaifan1249]

@КостяКиндалюк i dont think so, as if noelle opened that door she would justify tell susie to back off of kris, which would cause susie to get defensive, and Susie would probably threaten her not to tell her mother (the principal AND mayor), and shove past her.

[@КостяКиндалюк]

I love Kris. Our sassy eldritch little whelp. Nerves of steel in front of Susie... ...but Spamton shook them.

[@alankim4401]

To be fair, Kris didn't have the existential dread of their "situation" at this point, and having a kindred "soul" with spamton who managed to achieve [Freedom], but the end result was no better than the problem itself.

[@alankim4401]

Plus, Kris seem to have some awareness of danger, like the difference between Susie making threats to them, and the Chaos king threatening Susie and Lancer's life

[@suitov]

@@alankim4401 I think that's exactly why they behave differently. (Also, Susie is very straightforward in her threats. Spamton is way more unsettling lol.)

From Kris' mouth movement you can clearly tell they said "rizz", Susie simply couldn't handle the brainrot Jokes aside, the art, acting, sfx, everything is friggin awesome, nice job to everyone involved!

[@mr.j3rs3y]

[@kowhaifan1249]

You could say she was... *frozen* like a *deer* in headlights

[@KingStudios360new]

I always interpreted Kris phrase as this: "I know." This would utter confuse and horrify susie, who is also likely going through a similar thing (Allthough she has a much better reason to think her parents would abandon her)

[@masterzeta7234]

Toriel adopted Kris so... that might be correct.

[@averagemekhanefollower281]

I remember thinking like "Man, someone should make an animatic of this" a few days ago! Pretty well done

[@DragonessFire]

This is so well done! So many small details too! I love Noelle’s tippy taps when she was looking for a place to hide

[@ShirubaGin]

Omg it's the Paper Trail creator. Good animatic tho

[@garr_inc]

_Paper Trail,_ _Dogs of Future Past_ and, last but not least, _Skybox._ Lynx has quite a bit under her wing! And I wholeheartedly can recommend all of them.

[@gabrote42]

​@@garr_incedlritchrune too, yes?

[@moniqueperkinsmp]

this dude was predicting chapters, they failed but they still cooked especially with Noelle's story

[@ShirubaGin]

@moniqueperkinsmp you had a lot less to work with back with only chapter 1. The game could really go anywhere. With chapter 2 it's putting itself in place.

[@GFCOLCQuote]

I don't think Kris would say something horrible to Suzie in this moment directed at her like "Just like you?" or something. This is not only uncharacteristically cruel for a prankster, but also Suzie doesn't seem so 'fragile' as to run away from that. She'd probably beat on them-no, it needs to be something she physically can't handle to hear. At first, I thought it would be something simple but reflective like 'I know' but I don't think Suzie would run away from that. If anything was said, I think it would have to be one of two things: 1.) "Wouldn't be the first time." or "They already did." Kris is *adopted* which means *everything Suzie said happened to them already.* They _were_ abandoned by their family, something that Suzie can't even get on the level on. If she lives with her mom or dad, it means they never fully abandoned her. Kris's original parents? They are so out of the picture no one fucking even knows about them. Who the fuck is more of an outsider in this town than the _only fucking human_ in a monster town? 2.) "Noelle's watching." Kris probably likes teasing Noelle, and thus probably knows Noelle likes Suzie. Kris is also incredibly smart, sleeping and being just behind the 2 people who work the hardest, so they might have caught on that Suzie also likes Noelle in some way-at least enough to not go after her with her bully-like tactics. It's also obvious at this point that Kris knows Noelle is watching them. So, telling her "Hey, if you're gonna do what you're doing, just know Noelle is literally right fucking there and will see it" might have made her go "Oh Fuck" and run away.

[@LynxGriffin]

I've honestly been learning towards the second option myself. Stuff that's taunting Susie might just make her more angry, and self-depreciating comments from Kris seem like they'd confuse Susie, but not necessarily scare her into running off immediately. But Susie seemed intent on making sure there were no witnesses for this bullying, and also seems to care about what Noelle thinks after Noelle was kind to her. So pointing out that Noelle is watching seems like the sort of thing (to me at least!) that would get Susie to immediately back off and run out.

[@jeepercreepers9]

I feel like Kris turning it on Susie could work if they asked inquisitively instead of as a taunt, such as "Did something like that happen to you?". I imagine Susie would react with fear if she was keeping it a secret and Kris suddenly found out

[@КостяКиндалюк]

I don't really think Kris would say "Noelle's watching"... Doesn't seem like the response to such direct dialogues from Susie. Kris is already implied to have some bad experience with bunker based on Monster Kid's dialogue. Kris both misses Asriel and, probably, felt like living in his shadow. Kris had these red horns to feel like Dreemurrs. Kris, for some reason, isn't interested in book about their kind and even the opposite, quickly closing it. Seems to be too much build up for such good moment to just waste it with "Noelle's watching". There was too much attention on Suselle, would feel wrong if we weren't given some insight into Kris.

[@motivated2473]

Everyone is acting like Susie not liking Noelle back is impossible, but come on, really? The girl she almost beat up in one dialogue choice and spent the rest of the game annoyed at except the instances where she was in danger? Noelle liking scary things/being scared and her crush on someone who has been nothing but horrible in front of her always seemed more like a character flaw (Not exactly her liking of scary but, but specifically that liking of fear being related to her crush) than a hint that the ship was ever going to sail. Before opening up to Kris she hated being alone and being judged by other people as a bully, yet Noelle really never knew anything about Susie other than her reputation, and the awful stuff she said to Kris, yet her crush on her still remained there. I never considered it healthy at all, and I wouldn't mind it being so assumed as canon by everyone if they just stopped using her crush to define her entire character, or even better, SUSIE'S character, since from her perspective Noelle was just someone that was nice to her once before. This is a Kris and Susie scene, and whatever they said, it's related to something only those two experienced or know, doing mental gymnastics to link it back to Suselle is annoying and unrelated to whatever these two are going through, which I think it's the most interesting mystery of their whole relationship.

[@R816-kn8xq]

​@@motivated2473 Ok, buddy

[@xcaedes]

I like the way Noelle’s attraction toward things that scare her is portrayed here. You really get the sense that it is unhealthy, and is kind of messed up. Cause bro, she just saw Kris get bullied and essentially death threatened, and her reaction was to exhibit signs of attraction to said bully (her saying “holy cheese and crackers” or whatever it was in the locker). Awesome animation bro.

[@darthahsoka3518]

I don't think Kris view this as a bully. Kid literally school principle (adoptive) son. They can take care of themselves, judging how they block apple with notebook then eat it, even show no fear and snicker at threat. One word and they sent their suppose bully ran out of school head hung low. Susie threaten them probably more cute compare to us controlling Kris body agaist their will. I think the only thing Noelle regret on that day was she miss the chance to confront and told Susie that she can bully her instead of Kris "That should have been meeeeee" (Bet that Noelle inner though) lol.

I'm pretty sure Kris was upset that Noelle didn't do anything. What do you think?

[@LynxGriffin]

Nope, I don't think so. If Kris isn't upset about being bullied by Susie in the first place, why would they be upset about Noelle not doing anything, knowing that she freezes up when scared? I think their actions in this scene are more about them going "Hey, you're not sneaky, I know that you're there" more than being angry at her.
