hey bro last night was really fun, i felt my inner flower bloom in your presence. sadly the only butterfly species with a long enough proboscis went extinct long ago. but i saw you ate that fruit cup without cutlery so maybe not all hope is lost
Helloo haven't seen you in a minute, hope you're doing okay !!
I’m good! Life has just been a little bit hectic lately.
Dare I say…..this song is Asgore and Chara coded. To me.
How is Chara during Frisk's supposed dates? Are they of any help. Or just. Passively wait it out.
Oh Chara is 100% in on the bit. They’re narrating and imagining an elaborate dating sim HUD the entire time and occasionally suggesting dialogue options. They’re a pretty important part of this operation.
“Okay, don’t get mad.”
Mildly spicy doodle…. maybe
charas red circle cheeks + freckles make it look like that they have 2 pepperonis on their face
Damn 😔
Does Toriel ever learn the truth about Frisk and Chara? How long must they sneak around?
She found out after about a month because some people are a bit too enthusiastic with their mouths.
Good luck hiding that.
More frisk head canons...? Or are we getting too greedy lmao
Frisk manages to be a chronic flirt while also seemingly being chronically single.
“Keep a leash on that one,” a fellow mother jokes to Toriel during parent-teacher conference night. Frisk had told her in a very polite tone that her husband was a lucky man, sending her howling with laughter. This is not even the first time this has happened today. With Frisk’s teenage years quickly approaching…Toriel will not pretend that she does not worry about the situations they will likely get themself into.
Frisk is in middle school the first time Toriel sees them put on nice clothes. When asked about the occasion, Frisk tells her that they have a date. Well! Toriel, somewhat reeling, asks about the specifics, who and where and how late. A boy in my class, Frisk says, and assures Toriel that yes, they will keep it appropriate, and yes, they will be home before curfew.
Frisk comes home that night with a very self-satisfied look on their face. Oh no, Toriel thinks. What mischief did they get up to?
She asks how their date went. Frisk gives her a thumbs up and says “successful!”
What on earth does that mean? What does successful entail??
“Oh?” Toriel asks. “Will there be a second date?”
“Nope,” Frisk says. “But now he has the confidence to ask out the person he actually likes!”
She blinks. “I hope this is not upsetting for you…?”
“Nah. He’s cute, but I don’t like him like that.”
This happens multiple times, indiscriminately across genders. Frisk will go out with somebody, always managing to help their date solve some pertinent personal issue. There is never a second date.
“I just tell them I like someone else,” Frisk says. “It usually works.”
writing is easy actually. all you have to do is tell people what happened
Oh.
Snuggle time
did your chara regenerate their sould alongside their body, or do they manage without it smh? also btw btw: any hot takes on what being soulless even means in UT? Bc when i hear people talk about it, it's usually "they dont care for anybody & don't feel anything" and then we look at post-pacifist flowey and he's the fakest idgafer ever
It only took me 20ish days to answer this, but who's counting? Whoops.
Eh, I kinda handwave it. Grew in the ground. Like a turnip. They're just really good at gardening, yknow?
Now this second part is the fun one, because I absolutely have hot takes. I think about Flowey quite a lot.
Flowey is always going on about how he feels nothing and doesn't care, and I think that's only partially true. The thing is, I don't think it's a symptom of lacking a soul. Or maybe it partially is, but not entirely. He doesn't feel in the same way he did when he was Asriel, and he cannot connect to others like he used to because his trauma has changed him. Loss of empathy can be a trauma response, after all.
There is also the fact that he is in this unique situation that puts absolutely nobody in existence as his equal. Why would he care about anyone when ultimately, he can just reset them? Why would their emotions matter when they are nothing but predictable lines of code? Why would he care when his actions have no consequences? Nobody else is a real person to Flowey. They are toys that can be played with and then discarded.
That is, except for two people.
Chara, first of all, because Chara is dead and therefore immortal and unchanging in his mind. He cares desperately about Chara, to the point that he models his entire identity around them. They cannot, by design, become another one of those worthless NPCs.
Second of all is Frisk, and that's because Frisk takes his power away from him, putting themself on the same level as him as a playmate (and because he projects Chara onto them lol). They are the only one who can begin to understand what it is like to be him. They are the only living person who he cannot datamine for entertainment.
(The closest third is Papyrus, and that's because Papyrus is a wacky guy who responds in weird ways to things. Papyrus is as close to unique as it gets.)
Post-pacifist...not only did he go through a whole thing in the underground, with Frisk and the souls and freeing monsterkind, but suddenly actions have consequences. He cannot reset time. He is just a regular ol citizen of the world, like all the other idiots. Everyone is on his level again. He cannot place himself as above them, cannot completely discount them.
And that's when the cracks start to show.
I like the juxtaposition of chara having a overall confident personality while believing they're inherently worthless and disgusting... Does this get better over time?
You see, they have self-important tendencies. Whether you believe you are the best person in the world or the worst person in the world, you are painting yourself as special and different from everyone else. Chara definitely suffers from this. Their assertive, rather confident nature is not in spite of their self loathing but instead alongside it.
Whether the future of humans and monsters or the demon that comes when you call its name...they will play the role wholeheartedly, putting their entire self into it until nothing of them remains.
The best thing Chara could possibly do is come to realize that they are not cosmically important...but that may not ever happen, because why would they ever believe that? They sacrificed their soul to try and save a people and then became the idiot who got their brother killed, and then a ghost, and they started haunting some weirdo with time travel powers who basically finished Chara's unfinished business. The world they left behind...it's easy to consider themself The Worst for inadvertently causing it, but they're never going to consider themself a mere normal person who was part of many moving pieces. Why would they?
I would imagine that when they come back to life, it gets worse for a while. Before, they could hide behind Frisk, away from the gazes of others, away from their own guilt. Now, it is hard to look those they love in the eye.
Their parents forgive them, or were never truly angry with them. That is a difficult pill to swallow, because they deserve...
Perhaps Chara comes to realize that it doesn't always matter what they deserve in the cosmic sense. Those they love would not be happy watching them get their comeuppance, so they will refrain from punishing themself, if only to spare their feelings.
Oh btw Chara and Frisk don’t actually tell Toriel shit for like a month of Chara being alive. But Toriel notices that Frisk acts strange around Chara. Very strange. Usually, Frisk is so respectful of boundaries (and Toriel knows that Chara has many boundaries), but with Chara it is as if they do not know how to behave themself.
She half wonders if Frisk is an extremely late bloomer who is somehow managing to have their first crush at the ripe age of 18. This is not their silly flirting. This something else.
Regardless, it is quite inopportune. Even though Chara looks 19, and claims to be 19, and acts like a 19 year old does, by whatever strange power brought them back…well. Toriel knows about the suicide. And she sees how uncomfortable Chara seems in general, how much coming back to life is tolling on them. She worries about their mental state. Needless to say, any kind of relationship would be extremely unwise.
She does her best to keep the two of them separate when not supervised.
Of course the side effect of this is they both get even more amped up and weird without their Emotional Support Human present. Which just makes Toriel even more concerned.
