if i wasn't playing chara i'd be playing.............. is it cheating to say kris. probably. i would play kris because they are my poor little meow meow.
if i wasn't playing faith, i'd be playing spike. he's a very hard one to play in a longterm game because even though he and faith play very similar roles in canon, spike is about a thousand times worse in every way that faith is also difficult.
i keep seeing fandom takes pointing to minor moments as examples of him having empathy and compassion early on and 99% of the time he's just pretending because he thinks it's funny.
