This world needs more Genocide/ Mean Frisks, I'm really bored with Avery Sue Frisk already. Like if a entire race would try to kill me for my SOUL even if I could SAVE/RESET one time or another I would lose my chill.
avery sue! i like that term. (assuming it’s meant to be gender neutral mary sue)
and yeahhhh i mean? just give us more realistic frisk. give us more complex frisk! give us more not perfect angel frisk!
personally, i don’t see it as a very powerful thing when a saintly child drops into the underground, immediately knows to spare every monster despite being killed over and over and over again, and frees everyone on the 1.5th try
what about a kid who fell into the underground, was terrified, killed a lot of people out of that fear - people were trying to murder them! - and then face flowey. of course they kill him, they think that’s the only way to end this…but his dying words make them stop?
“I k n e w y o u h a d i t i n y o u.”
and it breaks their heart because they didn’t want to do this, they didn’t want to have dust on their hands, it’s not fair, it’s not fair, it’s not fair, it’s not -
they can reset. they can do it all over. maybe they can…they can…do better…maybe…
because people often say the no mercy run is an effect of the corruption that comes from the power to do anything you want without consequences, but from an in-universe standpoint, the power to save and reset also offers the opportunity to do better than you did before. you made mistakes, but you can learn from them and try again, this time wiser and kinder.
so what about a frisk who messes up over and over and over again, who gets frustrated and kills when they don’t know what else to do, who feels like they’re just doing what they have to so they can survive, but something in them keeps walking away from the chance to leave this hellish place and try again, so maybe they don’t need to be a murderer this time. or maybe they do it to spite that flower, because spite is an easier motivator than guilt.
and eventually they get it right! eventually they figure out how to stay alive without killing anyone, except now they’re attached to these people they used to resent, and it’s not fair that there’s no way to get out of here without getting someone’s dust on their hands, it’s not fair, it’s not fair, but if they can defy death, they can defy this too!
so then they finally figure it out, attempt after attempt after attempt, and they got it! everyone’s free! frisk finds a pillow and cries onto it for a while. idk, i guess i just like the idea of someone who tries really hard to be good, messes up a lot, doesn’t stop trying even when it doesn’t come easily or naturally, and then finally gets their happy ending and an entire pie.
but yknow what else is interesting…frisks who don’t go that far and who give up! cause this is a hard burden for a little kid.
maybe they just leave as soon as they have the chance, who gives a damn about anyone who had to die on the way. maybe they did go the route of trying to do better, but gave up and left anyway because it’s too hard for them. maybe they took a different path, maybe they got a taste of LV, and decided to kill again, just because they’re monsters, it doesn’t really count, and they can just reset, right?
basically there’s so much possibility for how this could go. there’s a very wide range of ways someone could react to frisk’s situation, so choosing what is, tbh, the blandest one, is a little unfortunate? More Frisks Pls
