Cara Mia - DR Oneshot
Dess flopped onto her bed, sweat on her brow, heart pounding a million miles a minute, trying to cool her rage after another fight with her mother. She gritted her teeth and grabbed ferociously onto her bedsheets. Nothing Dess did was good enough. Nothing Dess did got her mother to listen. Did everyone in town know? Could everyone hear the screams coming out of Carol Holiday’s bedroom almost twice a week? It was never this bad when I was eleven. It wasn’t even this bad when I was twelve!
Fourteen. Dess hated that number almost as passionately as she hated being fourteen.
Sniffling. Dess looked up, surprised at her own weakness, before she realized it wasn’t she who was sniffling. It sounded more like Noelle.
Dess was torn between desire to comfort Noelle and a distaste for having to share this moment of anger with anyone else. Sisterly instinct won over as Dess took just a couple deep breaths to calm herself before gently calling, “Noelle? Are you there?”
The  door slowly creaked open and the tearstained ten-year-old’s face. “Dess?”
Dess gently patted the mattress beside her. “Noelle, what’s the matter?”
Quick as lightning, Noelle hastened in, shut the door, and was next to Dess on the bed. Dess put her arm around Noelle. “I had a bad dream…”
“What was the dream about?” asked Dess, stroking Noelle’s hair. She’s so little and defenseless, she thought. And she probably had the nightmare because me and Mom were screaming…Damnit, Dess…
“I had a dream that I was tied to a train track and a train was coming at me,” began Noelle, “and the conductor was laughing, and the conductor was Kris but not Kris, and you were there, but you were frozen and you couldn’t do anything. Ice-E fit in there somewhere, but I don’t remember.”
“When did the dream end?” prompted Dess gently.
“The train was about to h-h-h-hit meeee…” Noelle buried her face in Dess’s shirt and started sobbing.
“Hey, hey hey hey hey!” Dess hugged Noelle tightly. “It was just a dream, okay angel?”
Noelle gazed into Dess’s eyes with wide, fearful, resigned eyes. “It don’t think so.”
Dess felt chills run up her spine. Something about this nightmare disturbed her as well, though she wasn’t going to admit that to Noelle. “Believe me, dreams are just that: dreams.”
Noelle didn’t look convinced, so Dess stifled a sigh and picked up her red guitar. “Do you want me to sing to you? To make you feel better?”
Noelle lit up a bit, the darkness that had lurked in her eyes dissipating a little. “Yes! Sing me the Cara Mia video game song.”
Dess nodded and began strumming her guitar, glad Noelle loved this song so much.
“Cara bell, cara mia bella,
Mia bambina, Noelle!
Che la stima…
Che la stima…
O, cara mia, addio…
La mia bambina cara,
Perche non passe lontana?
Si, lontana da Scienza,
Cara, cara mia bambina?
Ah, mia bella!
Ah mia cara!
Ah mia cara!
Ah mia bambina!
Oh cara, cara mia…
...
Mia cara!
Ah, mia cara!
Ah, mia bambina!
Oh cara, cara mia…”
Noelle sighed a bit and rested her head on Dess arm. Dess put down her guitar, humming the song a bit as she cuddled with her sleepy little sister.
“Dess, can I play the video game that song is from?” she asked groggily.
“Oh boy, not yet,” answered Dess. “But when you're older, you can play it and we can talk about it together.”
“Sure,” agreed Noelle.
After a few minutes of snuggles, Dess reluctantly stood Noelle up and half-carried her little sister to her room, where Dess tucked Noelle in and kissed her on the forehead. “I’ll see you tomorrow…” she whispered, getting up and leaving the room.
Dess was met with a nasty surprise when Mayor Holiday was standing outside of the room, looking at the wall on the other side.
“...” Dess did not say a word.
“December.”
“Yes, Mother?”
“Quit wasting your talent on trashy video game songs. I don’t want Noelle to be influenced into thinking that’s real music.”
It is real music, you’re just a domineering jerk. Dess would’ve loved to say her thought out loud–or, make a more strongly crafted argument in favor of video game music, but Noelle had just gotten to sleep and Dess didn’t want to cause another nightmare. So she just turned around and started towards her own room.
“Did you hear me?!” snapped Carol quietly.
“...Loud and clear,” answered Dess honestly. She had heard, but wasn’t going to follow that advice in the slightest.
“December, I really don’t like your attitude.”
But at that point Dess was already halfway up the flight of stairs which eventually lead to her room, so Carol just turned and walked back to her office.
After walking down a long hall, Dess reached her own room.
“Cara mia, Noelle…” she was singing softly to herself.
~~~
NOTES:
For some reason I couldn’t get the idea of Dess being a portal fan and singing the soundtrack to Noelle out of my head. I bet the last song she sang to Noelle before she disappeared was “Still Alive” =)
Also Dess probably just sings it normally, I doubt she’s a full-on opera singer :P 
Imagine Noelle trying to play the Portal series when she gets a little older and every time it’s the credits–boom. Severe emotional distress. Dess probably sang to Kris too. Dang. No one in the Holiday-Dreemurr family is gonna be able to play the Portal series without emotional turmoil anymore.
Seriously thogh Portal Girl Dess combines the two best things in the world. Also Asriel would totally be a Stanley Parable boy.

Eldritchrune Character Info - Carol and Rudolph Holiday
Start | Prev | Next
Text version under the read more:
Name: Mayor Holiday and Rudy Holiday Being: Human Info: Mayor Holiday is already very no-nonsense and strict, but after the self-inflicted loss of her daughter, December, she becomes even more hard and cold. She now feels even more desperate to summon a force that will drive away the empire, and make her losses seem worthwhile. Meanwhile, her husband Rudolph responded differently to the loss, and developed chronic health problems. Abilities: Mayor Holiday, if nothing else, is dedicated to her duties, and skilled at getting her residents to do what she asks…even if it’s sacrificing others in an attempt to summon a demon. She is surprisingly commanding and persuasive, and extremely defensive of the town’s old ways. Rudy is more soft-spoken, and prefers to have pleasant conversations with people while doing his woodcarving.

If the Mayor is the Knight (as I believe at this point), I think her weapon will be a rapier (or some other blade) constantly dripping with what looks like black blood...because it's transformed from a very fancy pen. (Said pen is also what she uses to open fountains.)

i forgot to make this post because i got kind of... 'swept' up archiving the sweepstakes. heh. but man i am SO happy that susie sucks. i am so happy we have actual content of susie canonically sucking ON SCREEN. even in chapter 1 when she bullies kris what she does could be explained from whatever family background she has and is eventually overshadowed by her character development. but THIS? saying "your mother is gonna get sick of you" to an obviously troubled adopted kid? this is inexcusable. this sucks! i'm hyped! and you know why? because it's gonna make her character arc better. jucier. because she is a tridimentional, complex female character who develops throughout the story.
and i cannot WAIT til mayor holiday appears ingame and is just as nuanced, just as sucky, just as tridimentional as she is when she gets better. because queen, who is as direct a parallel as it could physically be implied, has an entire arc about controlling noelle because she wants what's good for her, and it's her not respecting her agency that should be questioned, not her ultimate intentions. because even king spades is sympathetic and has the moral highground at times. and i can't wait till every person who thought TOBY FOX, MAKER OF ALPHYS, would write a plot important female character whose only defining characteristics are 1) bitch, 2) abuser, comes crawling back with their tail between their legs.

This post from the Undertale Tumblr (https://undertale.tumblr.com/post/165367197345/undertale-2nd-anniversary-and-alarm-clock) foreshadowed the existence of the Holiday family a year in advance. (Though it strangely only mentions one daughter.)

Once again, it is time for that rare moment where I talk about Deltarune instead of Sonic stuff. And today, I've decided to talk about one of the many mysteries of the setting.
Namely... what did Asgore DO?
Tumblr media
One of the constants kept over from Undertale in Deltarune was the sad reality that Asgore is still divorced from Toriel, and their post-divorce relationship is... less than ideal, with Asgore desperately trying to get back into Toriel's good graces and Toriel being none-too-thrilled about it. And its pretty clear that whatever happened in the divorce, it's taken a pretty bad toll on Asgore. It's implied he doesn't have visitation rights, and no longer lives in the same house as Tori, instead living in his flower shop. And his present state of living is just... almost too depressing for words.
Tumblr media
So yeah, things are not looking great for ol' Asgore. But that does beg the question- what happened THIS time? Recall that in Undertale, Toriel's hostility to Asgore was predicated on both him murdering six children as well as basically getting everyone's hopes up for who-knows-how-long rather than taking one soul and going straight to business after escaping the Underground. How justified she is is going to be the subject of endless debate, now and forever, but at the core of things in Undertale its pretty clear that this hostility comes from some VERY grim circumstances.
Given the more comparatively mundane nature of Hometown and the Light World, its pretty clear that whatever circumstances led to Toriel and Asgore divorcing couldn't be anywhere near as horrible as what happened in Undertale. There's no fantastic circumstance here- Monsters live on the surface as humans do (that we know of), and while Asgore is not exactly held in high regard by Hometown these days, he none the less leads a free, if somewhat depressing life.
So again, what happened here? Why is it that Asgore is still divorced?
As it stands, with everything else, we only got two chapters to go by, and as such we need to work with a LOT of contextual clues to try and piece together even a vague idea of how things reached this point.
And believe it or not, one the key bits of insight we have? Is none other than Rudy Holiday.
Tumblr media
Rudy is established as having been friends with Toriel and Asgore in college, and is all but stated to have been Asgore's best man at their wedding, and even in the present is still close to the both of them even though they are no longer together. Out of all the people we talk to in Hometown, Rudy is the one with the most positive stuff to say about Asgore, and Asgore recipricates this by visiting Rudy in the hospital daily, with new flowers for each visit. And while we don't witness it for ourselves, it is revealed that Toriel ALSO visits Rudy and is implicitly close to him as well, with Rudy even suspecting that Kris' visit was done at Toriel's prompting (and sadly probably WOULD be if we weren't using them as a meat-puppet).
This might not seem like such a big deal, but I feel it reveals something very crucial about what might have happened, if only in the abstract. It tells me that whatever happened? While it was serious enough to prompt the divorce and cause Toriel to no longer love Asgore, it WASN'T bad enough that Rudy doesn't think ill of Asgore, or enough to cause Toriel to no longer wish to associate with Asgore or Rudy with her. He bears no malice to anyone in the Dreemurr family, and this is an important detail, because it would seem extremely improbable that things between the three of them would be this hunky-dory if Asgore really did do something legitimately terrible.
Which, admittedly, isn't impossible... but it does feel unlikely, under the circumstances we presently see.
Given the way Dark Worlds reflect something of Lightners, some have suggested that maybe the Card Kingdom just as easily reflects something of Kris as it does Susie. While King mirrors Susie's earlier statements, one cannot help but notice that King is an enormous, pseudo-mammalian king with a hefty build, almost like a warped mirror of Asgore. And that comparison becomes all the more concerning when you consider how, as we go on, its revealed that Kris was once a very mischievous little kid... one can imagine that, perhaps, Kris was very much like Lancer, once upon a time. And if that's the case, then maybe it’s not a coincidence that King threatened both Lancer AND Kris directly.
Tumblr media
It's a tempting thought... and oh, the warped implications it would carry, given that in Chapter Two its revealed that King wasn't going to go through with his threat and actually CARES about Lancer, despite earlier evidence to the contrary? Now THAT would imply some ugly-ass things about Kris' thoughts and feelings about their father. Or Susie's, if you believe the Card Kingdom is primarily 'meant' for her. It does make an eerie amount of sense, does it not?
Tumblr media
Only... not quite. It’s tempting to think Asgore might have done something to Kris in a moment of weakness, but honestly? I really, really doubt it. Because let's face it, if Asgore had hurt or done something out line with Kris? It's incredibly doubtful that Toriel would ever allow Kris to get anywhere NEAR Asgore, and Rudy likewise would probably have little to do with Asgore over something like that. Oh, sure, friends will stick with friends, but that feels like something not even Rudy could overlook. And then there's the whole 'Eggs-Husband' incident...
Tumblr media
... God that was painful. Like, kudos to Toby Fox, I don't think I've EVER felt that kind of secondhand embarrassment from a piece of media ever. It really was just a masterpiece of utter and complete failure. Still, it's important in helping to frame where everyone stands in this divorce, because while Toriel does try to get away from Asgore as fast as possible after his disastrous attempt at punnery (and who could blame her?), she none the less is willing to hear him out when he wants to talk about Asriel's return (possibly about the divorce itself).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's important to note that, again, context is key here. Earlier in Chapter 1 its established that Asgore keeps sending Toriel flowers, which inevitably wind up in the trash, and likewise she rebuffs his deeply ill-conceived attempt to re-connect with her at Sans' store. But from what we see so far, it may not necessarily be that Toriel hates Asgore, so much that he refuses to get a clue about where they stand and persists in these self-sabotaging attempts to curry her favor. While the problem might be rooted in whatever happened in the past, it’s pretty clear that a BIG part of that is due to Asgore's present behavior. How do we know this? Because she still hears him out when he ISN'T trying to get into her good graces.
I feel that if Asgore had done something to Kris, or done something REALLY bad? Then he wouldn't even get that much. As it stands we don't know enough to say for sure, and all we can do is look at how people act and try and come up with some idea of things, but I'm willing to bet that while Asgore made some kind of serious misstep? He didn't do something unforgivable... just something severe enough that it would justify Toriel leaving him, with his refusal to let go simply making things that much worse over time given that its clear Tori CAN be civil with him. He just makes it difficult due to his overbearing and embarassing behavior... again, we can only infer things, but I do feel like a large part of Toriel's hostility stems from Asgore's inability to back off more than anything else, even the events that caused the divorce.
I can of course, be wrong, about all of this. We have only two chapters and nothing else to go by. But there is one last piece of this puzzle that I think offers an even better insight into why things happened as they happened- the reveal that Asgore used to be the chief of Homedown's police department, and that he was made to step down under unknown circumstances, hence why Undyne, a rookie, is now Hometown's police chief. We don't know what happened yet, but whatever did happen? Kris doesn't like to read about it, keeping Us from seeing what happened. It could be because they don't want us prying into their family's business just in general, but there's also a really good chance that it may be simple guilt that keeps them from reading the rest of that article.
Tumblr media
And from here, we can paint a pretty compelling picture of what may have happened. As we know, Dess Holiday, Rudy's oldest daughter and Asriel's childhood best friend, went missing under mysterious circumstances. Dess' mother is mayor of Hometown, and its strongly hinted that whatever happened, DEss is now trapped somewhere in the Dark World (or worse), and other hints seem to indicate that Kris might in fact be aware of this, and its hinted that this event may have occurred near the mysterious bunker in the forest that Kris is explicitly afraid of. More interestingly, schoolmates Snowy and Monster Kid seem to be aware of this fact as well, which brings some interesting implications of itself.
Either way, with these details we can imagine a very probable chain of events for how things went down- Kris and Dess did something or the other at the Bunker, which led to Dess possibly being whisked away to the Dark World. Asgore, as police chief, is tasked with finding Dess. His inability to find Dess leads to him being fired by her mother, the mayor, and this would probably lead to the personal troubles at home that would lead to him eventually being divorced from Toriel and living on his own. This seems to be the general consensus among fan-interpretations, and  honestly? It seems pretty probable that this, or something like this, is how the divorce went down... and maybe why Kris is the way Kris is, in the present.
There is however an interesting little wrinkle in this formula, though out of everything I mentioned, this one is possibly the longest shot. Earlier in the game when we explore Asgore's store, we find a very terse note from his landlord telling him point blank that he has a month to pay the rent, even suggesting he start selling the flowers rather than giving them away. All that we know about this landlord is that their first initial is "C". So, where does the long shot come in? There is a possibility that "C" is none other than Mayor Holiday, Rudy's wife and Dess' mother, and previously Asgore's boss. What evidence do we have to suggest this? Mayor Holiday is described as being very good at her job while also not being great with people, and is evidently very driven and intimidating, so much so that Noelle is actively afraid of her. The way the note is written is not very formal, nor is it very sociable either... and there are more than a few Christmas related terms that start with "C". A lot of the fandom seems to have settled on "Carol".
Tumblr media
Again, this could be a long shot, one built entirely by conjecture. But if this "C" is indeed mayor holiday? That's where the wrinkle comes in. Because if Mayor Holiday is willing to give Asgore a business and overlook past failures to pay the rent, then it may be that his leaving the force wasn't JUST because of his failing to find Dess... or rather, if Mayor Holiday had any part of it, it actually wasn't out of personal anger at him failing to find her daughter. If "C" is Mayor Holiday, then in this context it means that whatever (probably negative) feelings she has towards Asgore, they're not enough to stop her from trying to help him get back on his feet. You might argue that if she IS involved in his flower shop venture it might be more due to Rudy than her, but then if Rudy has this much sway over her, she wouldn't have fired Asgore for not being able to find Dess.
Granted, there's always the 'Dying Wish' factor, though we don't know how long Rudy's been sick...
But still- firing someone for a personal reason would be a VERY bad breach of ethics, and from what we've seen (or haven't) of the mayor so far is that whatever her personality flaws, she isn't actually corrupt or anything. Hometown is so peaceful and orderly that the police force isn't really regarded as necessary! Quite the accomplishment... and firing Asgore for personally failing her would be the kind of conflict of interest that could jeopardize those accomplishments, understandable as it might be in this instance.
So, what would this imply for Asgore and his leaving the force? I believe that while Dess vanishing was the catalyst for everything, it wasn't the direct cause of Asgore losing everything. I imagine that failing to find Dess for an undetermined amount of time weighed heavily on Asgore, given that this is his best friend's daughter, a daughter who is the best friend of Asriel at that.
My hypothesis, as such? Is that Asgore's failing to find Dess slowly ate away at him, and that this caused things at home to get tense, before his eventual desperation led him to do something he shouldn't have, thus leading to him being removed from the force, and leading to further troubles at home, culminating in him saying or doing SOMETHING that led Toriel to divorce him.
I don't have any authority to definitively suggest what it might have been. But I DO feel confident that if Dess' disappearance had anything to do with Asgore's dismissal from the force? It wasn't as simple as the mayor being angry with him and removing him due to that anger, but because of something Asgore himself did in reaction to his own failure at finding Dess, and that this in turn led to whatever would happen to cause his divorce from Toriel. I believe this, because while Asgore has fallen on very hard times, the worst of what he's going through is due to his own poor choices that we can see, and however pitiful his current state, he isn't alienated/exiled from the people in his life. And if he had done something REALLY bad? I don't think that would be the case.
Of course, I can be wrong. Heck, I probably am. We only got two games to go by, and as such virtually everything I say is ultimately just conjecture, some a bit more supported by game text, and some less. But whatever the reality is? I'm VERY confident that Asgore didn't do anything evil... but it was still enough to cost him everything. Given the themes going on in the light world, it'd make sense that rather than anything big or dramatic, the truth just turned out to be something simple, unglamorous, and quietly sad.
Just like in real life, a lot of the time.

So what do you think noelles mom is going to be like? What's your interpretation of her?
Ooooo that’s a great question. I really do love the different interpretations so many wonderful artists put out. The ones with Gyftrot inspiration are really creative in my opinion. And it ties in well since Gyftrot is literally described as a “Christmas Display”.
I think it would be nice to have her be more monster than animal.
