That's right! Kris was the Vessel this whole time! This doesn't actually mean anything. Yes your previous thematic understanding of them as their own individual is correct. No this doesn't change that at all
@TheRedGoner It also operates under the assumption that the game just straight up lies to you at the start of the game when it said "YOUR WONDERFUL CREATION Will now be discarded."
The one and only Mike R Phone!
A darkner created from Kris's phone, definitely not in hiding from a hungry pack of cats. He definitely does not know anything about any kind of conspiracy so be sure to not ask him
All it really does is potentially create the necessity for the story to specifically address the matter in case people stupidly believe Kris being the Vessel changes these things. It's just a vehicle to spell out what is arguably already obvious
Even if we assume the storytelling goes out of its way to clarify that Kris having been the Vessel does not change that they have their own history, identity and agency... well, there it is. It does not change these things. It does not add a fourth category.
Gaster and Gaster-ish characters are associated with green however there is a mass fandom hallucination where people act like every instance of Red Green Blue is somehow about Gaster as if that's not like literally the visible spectrum of light
The phrasing of "patterns of thought and processes of action" is what I use in the video because I wanted to put into words why moon didn't work for me as well without just bringing up a completely unrelated work
This isn't a comparison I make in the video because it's just entirely subjective and tangential but despite moon remix RPG adventure basically being a game about touching grass it was less effective in encouraging me to touch grass more than studio system : guardian angel
