something i’ve never seen covered: flowey after neutral runs.

let’s say you do a pacifist run, spare flowey, and then just do not reset. you still hold the save file. before, you had the save file, yeah, but you were there and you were interesting. now he has nothing. yes, some dialogue is bound to change, but eventually he’s going to end up bored. and here’s where it gets interesting.

suddenly he has to live life in a linear fashion. no more going back. and i can see him being incredibly paranoid about every choice ever. he can’t go back! what if he does something to change the story irreversibly? so he starts gradually shutting himself off from everyone. more than before, i mean. he can’t even watch people; what if he’s spotted? he doesn’t know where people will be! so he ends up completely isolated from everyone; lonely, unstable, etc. papyrus is wondering where he is but he can’t just talk to him! what if he messes up, what if he reveals too much, what if he says something wrong and papyrus hates him, what if. he can’t interact with anyone. ever.

or.

or he swallows his fears. he’s a being of curiosity. he’s got to keep talking to people. what if they do say something new? what if he misses it?

and maybe, after enough time, papyrus does start saying new things.

but papyrus isn’t enough. flowey can’t miss any dialogue, things have changed and he wants to see them. so he starts branching out. papyrus “introduces” him to sans. and sans is a bit sceptical at first, but the flower really doesn’t seem to mean him or his brother any harm. and why would flowey? he’s got his dialogue. he doesn’t need to change anything. he doesn’t need to hurt anyone. and there’s no going back to get the favorable outcome. flowey messes up sometimes, and they have fights, and it’s okay. they get over them, and their friendship is stronger because of it. and they are friends. flowey didn’t mean for it to happen, he doesn’t even recognize it as friendship until papyrus points it out.

because he’s used to being the one “carrying” the entire “friendship.” (i’ll write an actual analysis about this later in another post, so this one doesn’t drag on.) and now he’s interacting with people without having to worry whether this is the optimal outcome. it’s an outcome he likes. and maybe that’s enough.

Hey yo? Undertale? That’s a thing.

Happy 9th anniversary to the game that changed my life. Here’s to 999 more.

Not quite two years ago, in December 2022, I posted one of my first pieces of digital art. Today, in celebration of Undertale’s 9th Anniversary, I did a vague redraw of it. (Leaving some characters out because I put this off too long and ran out of time lol)

UTYversary day 6... i'll come back to day 5 later. probably. This one's based off of clovers implied ability to reach into a monster's memories to better carry out their judgement. I know flowey's whole subconscious thing is probably more of a flowey thing than a clover thing but it felt wrong not to include him.

We're also going to ignore how jank he looks. I dont knwo how flowey artists make him look so good...

Also this will probably not surprise you at all but my favourite boss fight is ceroba. pacifist ceroba. 👍ya. All the final bosses are great tho, only complaint is the lack of attack balancing on. Ahem. Some of them.

Don't you have anything better to do?

Just let them go.

(Yes its based off that pic from Veil)

Hey...........bites lip....runs away ......

[the-great-papyru]

thinking about how flowey defines himself again. and how he shuts himself off from friendship.

also thinking about this line.

…anyone else think this had an impact on flowey?

assuming sans gave flowey the same dialogue, which seems likely, flowey got hit in the face with the fact that yep, he’d killed anyone who had a chance of being his friend. flowey didn’t have any friends. you can’t call someone you’ve killed your friend.

and i think that stuck with him for a really long time. it became this clearly defined law. flowey doesn’t have friends.

maybe he even tried helping people, later. just to try. he made “friends” with everyone. but he can’t be part of real friendships.

“you don’t have any friends.”

he probably tried again when he was messing around with people. got really attached to papyrus. maybe papyrus was his…

“you don’t have any friends.”

on consecutive neutral routes, when frisk starts coming back for him, just to talk to him, he starts thinking maybe, just maybe. but…

“you don’t have any friends.”

post-pacifist, he’d like to join in on the festivities, he’d like to meet people again, he’d like to be friends with everyone, but.

“you don’t have any friends.”

flowey doesn’t have friends. maybe asriel had one. but flowey doesn’t. he can’t. it’s not in his nature. by the lines of dialogue and code that shape him, by the rules of his miserable existence… flowey. doesn’t. have. any. friends.
