Frisk and the Monster Family Raging in Video Games!

Post-Pacifist, of course!

Frisk:

Silent fury.

On the outside, their face is (-_-), but on the inside, they're just so ready to yeet the controller at the TV, take out the disc, and smash it with a hammer.

They are incredibly determined and stubborn, so to everyone else, it just looks like they're REALLY invested... until it's too late.

They're a kid, so they would rage at the appropriate times when a kid rages. Being beaten at shooting games, losing patience during difficult puzzles (though they've improved since Papyrus started giving them puzzles to solve everyday), and repeatedly dying at particularly difficult boss fights.

On the rare occasion where they actually give up, Frisk would just leave, sulk in the corner for a few minutes, then immediately get back to playing the game. Oh, you thought they would actually give up? Haha, nope! Nothing is stopping this child until they get past that level!! They are DETERMINED!

Yeah, someone needs to pull them away from the game before they actually throw the controller.

How to calm them down: Distract them! Give them something else to be determined about! They can go back to the game later when they have a clear head.

Flowey:

He's essentially Asriel, so he would do the same thing Asriel did in life, which I imagine would be whining and throwing a hissy fit whenever someone beats him.

He's a bit of a crybaby and a sore loser. As Flowey, he's also prone to cursing out other players.

As you would expect, Flowey would rage whenever he gets beaten by someone in competitive games. Especially if it's Sans. Ooh, boy. He would go HAM on Sans.

He would also just whine and complain when he keeps dying.

Like Frisk, Flowey doesn't give up easily. Which only increases the chances of raging.

Surprisingly enough, he's pretty harmless when he rages. At his worst, he just breaks down crying and cursing out everyone who tries to calm him down. Just give the guy some space.

How to calm him down: Toriel and/or Asgore. They can talk to him and help him calm down.

Toriel:

It depends on the environment.

If Frisk is around, she will try to be a good example for them. If she gets stuck on a certain point of a video game, she will smile and try to control her temper, saying things like, "Oh goodness, this part is really hard, is it not? I could really use some assistance," with the most rage-filled smile on her face. Everyone dreads the day that she finally explodes.

She will pause the game and take a step back to breathe before either getting back into it or going to do something else.

If there are no children around, Toriel will start cussing. She wouldn't care about being an example for anyone anymore, she's around other adults, nobody will judge her. Sometimes Sans will even call her out on her language, and the two will have a nice little back and forth, which would quell Toriel's anger for a while.

She doesn't play video games as much as the others, but she's often there when they rage. Good thing she always knows how to calm them down!

How to calm her down: She does it herself. Jokes help a lot though.

Sans:

Okay, this guy just... doesn't rage? At all?

Actually, that's a lie. He totally does... when he's alone. When he's with others, he's just way too content and happy to rage at a particularly frustrating video game. After all, he can mess around and troll others. What's not to like?

Sans is remarkably patient. It would literally take AGES before he starts getting frustrated at a video game. He knows it doesn't matter in the long run. However...

There was this one incident where Sans got so frustrated he started slamming around the controller with his magic. Think back to the end of his boss fight, just after his final attack (before his special attack, of course). Yeah... And he was completely silent while doing it too, so all the others could hear was the sound of something slamming against the walls and the controller breaking. Yeah, he had to get a new controller after that.

It took the others a while to even recognise that it was Sans at first. For most people, their reactions are basically chalked up to, "Wait, Sans can get ANGRY???? Huh????" Only Papyrus and Frisk were like, "Yup, it had to happen eventually."

How to calm him down: No need! He doesn't rage! Although in that one instance, all Sans had to do was snap back to his senses and take a breather. Reassurance helps a lot, though.

Papyrus:

Papyrus rages so often everyone's used to it by now. It's mostly just a joke, anyway.

He's very dramatic, but deep down he's very goal-oriented and surprisingly patient? You'll know when he's actually raging when he goes dead silent and leaves the game.

A lot of the time, when he's "raging", he's screaming at others. It's usually their lack of cooperation that sets him off, especially in team games where they have to work together to achieve their goal. Even then, he's very forgiving and will instantly forget about the team's misdeeds when they finally reach the goal.

Yeah, there's not much to say except Papyrus is Papyrus. He's a very cool dude who mostly just rages as a joke.

When Frisk is around, Papyrus will watch his language. When they're not around and he rages, SWEARMAGEDDON!!!

How to calm him down: Pep talks do very nicely, especially when they come from Undyne and especially Sans.

Undyne:

Ooh, boy, she's the first one to rage.

She doesn't hold back. She can turn any gaming session into an intense shouting match if she rages hard enough. People with sensitive ears beware!

As I've already described in a previous post, I like to imagine that Undyne would often rage quit, then return a few minutes later like nothing happened. That's just hilarious to me.

There has never been a game where Undyne hasn't raged at least once. Minecraft? A creeper blows up, Undyne explodes too. Smash Bros? If she picks the wrong character, she's freaking out. Pico Park? "YOU'RE ALL SO F*CKING INCOMPETENT!!! (Is also incompetent)"

Swears like a sailor. I mean, come on, she's Undyne! Though we will, of course, watch her language around Frisk.

How to calm her down: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. Unless you're Alphys or Asgore. Then you can try it. Usually, Undyne will calm down on her own, but sometimes she needs that extra help.

I've lost motivation, I'll do the rest some other time.
