# Asgore Running Over Dess
Asgore Running Over Dess is a series of GIFs, animation memes, and fan art built around a Deltarune fan theory that Asgore Dreemurr killed Dess Holiday in a car accident. The theory dates to September 2021, but the visual format exploded on Twitter in June 2025 after a viral GIF built on an Open Season clip.
## Overview
Asgore Running Over Dess is a wave of Deltarune fan animations, GIFs, and drawings built around the fan theory that Asgore Dreemurr killed Noelle Holiday's older sister Dess in a car accident[1]. Asgore is Kris and Asriel's father, a former police chief who now runs a flower shop, while Dess is a frequently mentioned but never seen character implied to be missing or dead[5].
The theory partly draws on Asgore's violent counterpart in Undertale, and partly on the separate fan idea that Dess is Deltarune's mysterious Roaring Knight[5]. By June 2025, the abstract theory turned into a recognizable visual meme, with most edits using a scene from the 2006 Sony Pictures film Open Season as their base template[4]. The format also started swapping other characters into the driver's seat[7].
## How It Spread
The meme's breakout came on June 11th, 2025, when Twitter user @Triki_Tr0y posted a GIF of Asgore smirking on a couch that cuts to him driving through the dark and running Dess down, captioned as a joke about Carol Holiday hoping to find Dess while Asgore knew she was the Roaring Knight[3]. The GIF collected over 70,000 likes in ten days and became the template most later edits reference. Its base clip comes from Open Season, in which the hunter Shaw denies swerving to hit Elliot the deer, uploaded to YouTube by user ILL on January 12th, 2022, where it pulled over 130,000 views[4].
Within days, X filled with format riffs. On June 16th, 2025, @fanteLiscio posted a redraw of the Flight Driving a Shoe meme captioned "how asgore was moving on dess on that faithful night," which pulled over 40,000 likes in a week[6]. The same day, @ElTronnyXD adapted the Chad Driver template for the same joke, gathering roughly 39,000 likes[5]. On June 18th, @idk_lol8 posted a still of Dess listening to a fictional Roaring Knight "Driptale Car" remix as Asgore's headlights close in from the distance, earning about 32,000 likes[9].
The format got flipped on June 19th, 2025, when @DarkWorldRaltzy shared a version where Dess's sister December runs over Asgore instead of the other way around, gathering around 38,000 likes in four days[7].
## How to Use
Most versions drop the Triki_Tr0y GIF template into a new punchline, often swapping in different Deltarune or Undertale characters as the driver or the victim. A common convention is a two-panel setup showing a calm Asgore first, then the vehicular payoff at night. Artists also typically redraw the moment inside older driving-meme templates like Flight Driving a Shoe or Chad Driver, or pair the image with in-universe jokes about the Roaring Knight.
