I'm writing about Berdly today
I fucking love Berdly
He is such an adorable little ray of sunshine
Spoilers ahead.
I played the snowgrave route first so I immediately was just feeling infinite levels of remorse for him, and then I just learned more about his character and JESUS CHRIST WHY IS HE SO RELATABLE HELP-
I think I'm a lot like him. I think we both kind of consider ourselves smart (I think what I want to be like varies per the situation but intelligence is definitely one of those things) but we also recognize that we really aren't and feel the need to try and keep up the facade of this intelligence. We see our intelligence as making us valuable, but in reality, and this is what I find so beautiful about how he was written, we don't need it to make us special. Also we both are kind of idiots ^^' Berdly is special because he is a kind, brave boy who cares about his friends. He might have a big ego but he is not a bad person.
I also found his loneliness relatable. His persona definitely scares a lot of people off. People REALLY don't like him (both in and out of universe). He's terribly antisocial and comically unable to read the room which are things that contribute to his "annoying" personality. Sometimes I feel like I'm worse than everyone else, too. I think I'm doing even worse in this regard because I don't really pride myself on much of anything at all... haha. Kill me.
But god Berdly's just so sweet and innocent and toby fox why the fuck didn't you add a scene where I can give him a hug asuidgjakalmgdujskndgm
I gave him the present because I knew he deserved it :) The way he reacted to that gesture really brightened my day. He was so happy. It really indicated how he doesn't get treated that well that often and that made me feel kind of sad.
ALSO ALSO the fact that he thinks Noelle has a crush on him bc she's nice to him makes me sad. Like he really thinks you need an ulterior motive for you to like him. Why :( my guess is he might not have had the best upbringing and maybe his parents weren't affectionate towards him and were downright mean to him which could explain a lot about why he is the way he is. I know Noelle was probably abused by her mom as well, but Berdly's complete inability to read the room may contribute to him not really knowing what's up, but still recognizing that Noelle needs someone to look out for her and wants to be that person for her.
His crush on Susie is hilarious in my opinion. She's the person who shows him he doesn't have to be perfect (at least his idea of perfect, which is smart) which commences his "idiot" arc which I find adorable and hilarious. Berdly makes me laugh. He's just so precious aaaaaaaaaa
Anyway I am so fucking upset that he's probably not going to be in the rest of the chapters but at the same time I think that it contributes to why Snowgrave hits so hard. You have this fully fleshed out, beautiful, cute, funny character not getting this development anymore because HE FUCKING DIED AAAAAAAAA!!! I actually don't mind when characters I like die, though, because it just intrigues me more than anything. Also I just like watching my favorite characters suffer soooo.... haha.
End berdly abuse today and y'all please for the love of god stop stereotyping him as a gross incel gamer bitch bc he's not. He's a nice boy :(
thanks for coming to my ted talk

I THINK ABOUT THIS LINE IN SNOWGRAVE. I THINK KRIS IS TRYING TO GIVE NOELLE A SAD APOLOGETIC LOOK. TRYING TO IN SOME WAY LET HER KNOW THEY DONT WANT THIS TO BE HAPPENING. BUT BC OF THEYRE CREEPY AUTISM AND HOW WEIRD THEYVE BEEN ACTING. NOELLE IS JUST OFFPUT.

Some of Noelle and Berdly's battle animations change depending on if you are on the Normal Route or the Weird/Snowgrave Route.

Random Analysis of Noelle's character
One thing about Noelle as a character I find kind of interesting is her tendency to see the best in other people, or at least try to look for it. Her dialogue concerning Susie is one place where we can see this pretty clearly:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We also see this in how she talks about Berdly :
Tumblr media
And she is right about both of these characters. What's great about the writing for Susie and Berdly is that both deconstruct a "jerky" archetype. Susie is a bully, but turns out to have a horrible home life and deep rooted insecurities that make her act out that way, and she doesn't tend to follow through on her threats. Berdly is your typical Academic Alpha Bitch but turns out to have a superiority-inferiority complex and doesn't know what it feels like to be loved, and latched onto his intelligence as the one thing people could love him for.
Neither Susie and Berdly are bad people at heart, and I find it to be an interesting pattern in the game to set up a character as bad, have us learn more about them and understand that, no, they have problems that made them the way they are.
However, there are some people who might not be so good hearted. There are some people who really are just what they seem to be to the core. One of those people is us... Noelle's tendency to look for the best in other people becomes a problem when you realize that it also extends onto Kris. Kris, her estranged childhood friend. Kris, one of the only people Noelle is truly open about her emotions with. Kris... our vessel.
We see some foreshadowing in Chapter 1 for Noelle knowing there's something off about Kris:
Tumblr media
In Chapter 2, she notices this as well, but is constantly seen trying to rationalize it as "just a joke."
Tumblr media
and later as them helping her "get stronger"
Tumblr media
She still has faith in Kris despite everything they make her do in this chapter, until she is forced to kill Berdly. When she, Kris and Susie wake up, but he doesn't, she knows there's something wrong and does what she can to ignore it, until confronted again at the hospital, where she keeps insisting to herself that what just happened was all a dream. Still, she wants to think Kris is okay.
Tumblr media
But she can't hide from it anymore. She wants someone else to notice the same thing she sees now, too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And most of all, she wants to understand it, and I think, again, this is because she knows Kris wouldn't do those things. She knows the voice she heard wasn't their voice, but someone else's (the player's). So, yeah, this is definitely hinting at the possibility that Noelle's going to find out what's going on with Kris.
Anyway, Noelle's a shockingly hard character for me to understand. While I find her relatable in having an overbearing parent, in being timid and shy and submissive and seemingly forced into her role as an academic overachiever, I also don't really get her at all...
Like... for one thing I can't tell if she's lonely or not. The best I could describe her as is "someone who's nice but you're not really close to them and you can't really tell if they actually like you or if they're being polite to you out of necessity, someone you don't know if they're going to stay in touch with you after a couple more years of knowing them." I feel like I've met a lot of people like that, and I wonder if that's the right way to look at her character, at least from the perspective of Berdly (who I relate to a lot more easily). I feel like there's still so much to learn about Noelle, but is that something we can say about (the character I relate to more than her) or am I really just that bad at reading her?
