#the possible dynamics
ok so we got the berdly+noelle replacing susie+kris in my fic monsters of legend (go read it its on ao3 aha) where thats the only roleswap and its brought on simply by alphys sending them to retrieve chalk for her instead of the susie+kris duo… but its also fun to think of OTHER possible combos replacing the susie+kris like-
noelle + susie is rlly fun bc ralsei feels like the third wheel the whole time but he encourages noelle and susie both and tries to get them to confess to each other already. They just get along and are generally kinda sweet and nice friends.
I call them the Icy Hearts trio bc 1. its a cool name. but also 2. noelle and susie crush on each other cmon but also ralsei has that heart on his dress and also they ALL learn how to use healing magic and also one could say that before she opened up susie gave people the cold shoulder aha.
But yeah theyre cool and they take care of each other and stuff. Perhaps not as exciting as other friendship trios and stuff, but they’ve got a stable friendship going on and do lots of fun things together. I can imagine them baking together and stuff. AND ALSO PLEASE LIKE. maybe noelle could actually convince susie to play nice and prevent her from switching to the villain’s side, or just. idk man but either way their journey would be fun !! maybe just for funsies u could have noelle and susie put in a jail cell together so they can talk things out while ralsei rescues them, or ralsei and susie with him encouraging her to open up and talk to noelle about her feelings or just sdthgstdrhrsh theres a lot of fun possibilities !!
berdly + susie Im not quite sure what to call these guys when theyre with ralsei tbh. i considered the gamer gang but i feel that’d be what we could call berdly, susie, ralsei, noelle & kris all together?? maybe?? idk but um name ideas appreciated lmao
anyways yeah berdly and susie are really fun because there’d be a ton of friction with them hating each other and there being a heroic and villainous rivalry between the two. This goes on for a while at the start and progress is hard with Ralsei having to stop the two from fighting before they bring out their weapons. Unfortunately for him, the two tend to ignore Ralsei in the beginning.
Once they start to grow on each other though, they could be pretty nice friends! For one, theyre both gamers and i can imagine they’d go nuts when ralsei turns to them and asks “whats a video game?” and theyd all play video games together and get super competitive.
also once we sort out berdlys whole ‘crush’ misunderstanding thing with noelle and he learns that susie likes her we could also have berdly being susie’s wing-man and setting her up with noelle. He tells ralsei and the two team up against her to hype her up and encourage her to do it and try to give her advice.
anyways um yeah yall should think abt roleswaps more and think of the possible dynamics, friendships and character interactions that could come from them. <3
