yknow i wish less discussion of chapter 5 was focused on theories about how flowey and flowery are "TOTALLY THE SAME PERSON #REAL #CONFIRMED" because i think flowerys parallels to asriel are so much more interesting when you aren't doing that.
analysis under the cut
flowery and ralsei DO seem to represent parts of asriel and flowey, but they also aren't him. that's what makes their connections to him so special.
ralsei is everything asriel hates about flowey. they have a hard time expressing empathy and compassion, a tendency to rub salt in peoples wounds, intentionally or not, and cannot help but project their wants and insecurities onto others.
flowery is everything flowey hates about asriel. he has a childish and naive worldview, thinking everything can be solved if everyone just gets along. he's weak, he has no real plans, just the power of friendship, and he's emotional and caring to a fault.
these traits are the things flowey thinks got him and chara killed.
AND IT'S SO INTERESTING THAT RALSEI SEEMS TO FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT FLOWERY!!
flowerys idealistic way of thinking, the idea that he can change the world if he just believes hard enough, it annoys ralsei to no end. they're SURE it cant be done, that no one can defy fate, that there cannot be a happy ending.
flowerys vest even has a flower patch on the opposite side of the one on asriels jacket! hes more of a mirror to asriel than he is flowey, especially with his literal "golden boy" shtick.
AND RALSEI LITERALLY CALLS FLOWERY AN IDIOT AFTER HIS DEATH!!!
i feel like their story is so much better when you stop trying to boil them down to just "asriel" and "flowey" and instead see them as the thematic parallels they're meant to be. their arc is like a metaphorical reconciliation between the two sides of flowey!!! THATS SO FUN!!!!
hello, "losing cards." to your left is a button hooked up to a "nishi bai." to your right is a button hooked up to a "sweet treat." in five minutes, a detonator will go off exploding the fuck out of either subject. you can only press one of the buttons before you, saving what it's hooked up to. additionally, you are free to do nothing and let both options explode in front of you. good luck.
you must think i am so predictable. you think i would sacrifice my good friend nishi bai for a sweet treat. however, i know something you donāt. ānishi baiā is a ship name! so by exploding ānishi baiā, i would only be exploding the ship, and not my good friend nishi. i save the sweet treat, and share it with said friend, to comfort her over losing such an important part of herself, while secretly celebrating that her shitty boyfriend has left her. she will thank me later.
"how characters would react to their childā" ok so that one's infertile that one's gonna die a virgin that one's not making it to 24 that one's getting an abortion that one does not have reproductive organs that one is going to abandon their baby in a cardboard box on the streets and that one will not have custody
everyone go read the unexpected engagement of the marvelous mr penn IMMEDIATELY.. i'm pissed there's not even a tumblr tag for this book.. you freaks will love it i promise
In May, 1899, a hundred and fifty unassuming envelopes are delivered to households across the city. Most of them will be picked up by butler
in my ideal beautiful world they escaped the circus and caine never died they turned him into a tamagotchi and the cast all takes turns passing him around to take care of him and they show him the big beautiful real world and he gets to learn about humans and spend time with humans and he speaks to them through their pockets while they go about their daily lives hes just their little virtual beast who is so curious about the world and they love him now that hes not keeping them trapped in this digital hell for all eternity
can we kill the idea that yawning=bored because there's a million reasons to be yawning and being condescendingly asked "oh im sorry are we boring you?" because of something you can't control is really rude.
you're not boring me this is a side effect of my medication but thank you for deciding that my yawns are some sort of insult toward you and going on the offensive i loved it š
