I mainly wrote all this to have proof if this somehow becomes true. I can point to these posts in a few years (or maybe later next year if the reveal is in chap 5) and be like "HOLY SHIT I SOMEHOW CALLED IT" or whatever. We'll see. Will prolly age poorly idk. I still think it's gonna be Dess.

it being a joke of course. Asriel being Knight makes the most thematic sense in my head but will also feel strange in that it might feel like a twist just to be a twist y'know, but I trust Tony's writing to make it good if it ends up being true.

Hits harder than if it were Dess' puppet body. Let the record show that I'm being devil's advocate rn and still believe Knight is gonna be Dess in some way (maybe monster soul fusion with Dess and Asriel as a way to maybe preserve Dess? Idk) but there has to be a reason Asriel isn't here outside of

I think the only character that it could be is Asriel. NOW HEAR ME OUT HOLD ON. I know the top of Knight's head is like clearly supposed to be antlers but what if they're just fucked up goat horns. Kris working with Asriel and Carol to bring back Dess makes so much more thematic sense to me and

I don't think it's Carol cuz they clearly wrote her staying at the Holiday house in chap 4 as a way to disprove her being the Knight, like she can't be in 2 places at once. Rudy also doesn't work cuz that faking illness thing woukd be dumb and I doubt Tricky Tony would do that.

it's always felt like it dampens the emotional core of her being "lost" to me. It doesn't feel nearly as strong as if she's like actually not there/is fully gone, y'know? So with this context, I was just thinking who the Knight "could" be if not Dess. Like who could match that outline.

It might be the estrogen making me more emotional but jesus christ I thought it was just gonna be a sweet lil rescue quest
