#papyrus and flowey friendship is so interesting why does this flower care when he doesn't have feeling supposedly

[rose-void-789]

Okay okay but undetale mood: I had this thought a bit ago but like something clicked on why Flowey doesn't feel emotions it's so obvious and I'm sure others have said it but you all know monsters souls are made up of love, hope, and compassion so of course when all that's taken away your gonna feel soulless.

Like it's so obvious but I don't know why until recently it clicked why he's like he is. Because he's so weird, he claims to not feel anything but he obviously still deeply cares for Chara, he's afraid of death, and he likes Papyrus enough, this isn't someone who truly can't feel anything. He always had feelings it's just he doesn't really have positive ones I mean the absence of love, hope, and compassion will lead to apathy and despair. Mix that with time travel powers and of course, he was going to try to get a kick out of anything. Apathy isn't a fun feeling to shake off but Papyrus must have done something right for him to be so entertaining. And the absence of those emotions doesn't mean he can't form strong connections or have desire. Like it's a weird thing to hear that he did take care of Toriel if he didn't feel anything towards her. Yeah it's hard to care about people when you can't love but you could still care, you could still form a strong emotional tie to someone, a strong social tie even, and he did love his mother before.
