Suselle is awful in Chapter 2 specifically ngl

This is just an example of why I dislike it there, and I know people really don't like this take, but is true

In CH2, Noelle effectively becomes a different character whenever Susie is in sniffing distance

Said character being a cardboard cutout with the words "I have a crush on female Barnie" drawn on it as the only characteristics

She often ignores everyone else when Susie is around (as shown there, where she actively ignores Kris and Ralsei to demand Queen stop hurting Susie, specifically, among other instances), often refusing to even acknowledge their existence

She shooshes Ralsei to the end of the party so she can stare at Susie's tail (ass I mean ass)

Her crush borderlines obsession, given how much HP she gets from Susie's tea, and she has a crush on the version of Susie that Susie herself doesn't like.

Not to mention how Susie is kind of retconned into also being into her from the get-go, rather than developing to like her over the course of the game (Toby sadly uses the whackyness of DR to quite literally force them as a romantic pairing, like the Ferriswheel scene for instance)

Which is honestly just not the best way to do it. Some people think it's cute, but I just think it's forced. I'm not seeing these characters develop into a couple; I'm seeing Toby telling me that they are.

Noelle is an amazing character, but in CH2, she is massively held back by her obsession with Susie

All of this is fixed on CH4 BTW, no need to bring out the pitchforks, her crush is toned down to a functional normal person level, and her interactions with Susie are a lot more organic, if CH2 was handled like that I'd not be pissed

Still not a shipper tho, but yeah
