#asgore cant even tell its happening because he has no reference of how things were before he showed up

Since you're the Spadesgore guy, how to you think Asgore would interact with Lancer?

Excellent question!! I have to do the self-promotion song and dance but I've unironically written a fic basically dedicated to this, and in other fics in the series Asgore's role in the weird spade family dynamic is explored further.

But to summarize, Asgore is just naturally a dad, and Lancer collects parents, they basically fit like puzzle pieces on that front, but in the nitty gritty Asgore tends to be a gentler parent than Lancer is used to. He actually tries to emotionally support Lancer rather than just financially support him or discipline him or what have you, he's just a guy who likes talking to his kids. And it's not that Lancer doesn't need that, but there's definitely a twinge of confusion because he isn't used to it. All his other parental figures don't give much thought to emotional support unless it's directly brought up, but Asgore pays attention to it! And it pays off in the end, with Lancer learning to tell the difference between a crisis and something that makes him feel bad or vulnerable (which he otherwise doesn't really have a stable standard for), but in the current moment from Lancer's perspective it definitely seems like Asgore can be a debbie downer sometimes.

Also Lancer likes digging holes and Asgore plants stuff in them. Unexpectedly fitting combo. All in all I consider that Spadesgore must be canonized.
