I want you to read everything I have to say and then read it again because I know for a fact you guys can be illiterate sometimes when it comes to long posts that refute every single one of your âpointsâ.
First of all, to get it out of the way, it should be noted that anything @mamar11â says should be counted as hearsay at most since they are extremely obsessed with Sansgore. (Asgore is clearly straight and Sans is clearly aroace you aphobeâŠ) @dreemurr-skelememer I can sort of forgive if only because they actually enjoy canon Asgoriel and have Sans as a funny third-wheel. (That said, Sansgoriel is just not going to work. The Dreemurrs are far more likely to adopt Sans than date him.)
âYou know, Iâm a bit confused about why you think Asgore himself would be a toxic individual.â
âA bitâ? Asgore isnât toxic at all so why are you only âa bitâ confused? As a self-proclaimed Asgore fan, you should be able to fully support him. Not this wishy-washy âsupportâ you give him just because you are a fujoshi who forces characters into gay relationships purely because âitâs cuteâ. Being a fujoshi is what is toxic.
âWhile i definitely agree that the relationship itself would be toxic for both parties due to how much both dreemurrs have hurt each otherâ
Looks like you never played the game⊠Asgore and Toriel were MADLY IN LOVE FOR CENTURIES. Also, if you paid even the slightest bit of attention to the story, Toriel leaves not because Asgore declares war in a moment of weakness, but because her people actually agree with it and want Asgore to do it. Toriel left because of her people. Not Asgore. In fact, Toriel clearly states that she stops the fight between Frisk and Asgore in order to prevent ASGORE FROM DYING.

Yes, she reprimands Asgore for his actions but SHE NEVER CLAIMS TO HATE OR HARBOR A GRUDGE AGAINST HIM. Again, as an Asgore fan, shouldnât you know this? These basic facts? As for Toriel, she didnât leave to hurt Asgore. She makes it VERY clear that she left so that she wouldnât be forced to watch her people turn him into a killer. Asgore doesnât even blame her in the slightest. (Which is part of why people put her on a pedestalâŠ) Even post-credits it shows that they are willing to forgive each other for their actions and cooperate. That is the main theme of UnderTale after all. It makes SO MUCH SENSE STORY-WISE TOO. What âhappy endingâ makes it so that two main characters donât have a happy ending? To make it work, UnderTale DELIBERATELY ends on the note that Asgore and Toriel are back together or at the very least, are on that path. Keep in mind that the other characters ship Asgoriel as well. (Alphys thinks they are both attractive and cute together and thus they become her OTP, Undyne is Asgoreâs adopted daughter, Papyrus and Sans just want their friends to be happy, and Frisk, Asriel, and Chara all see the two Boss Monsters as their parents with Frisk having an entire conversation with Gerson about it.) âTake care of Mom and Dad for me, okay?â -Asriel, 2015.
âwhat we see of Asgoreâs behavior toward others seems fairly nice?â
Because heâs a fuzzy pushover who is genuinely nice? Heâs a martyr for his people because THAT IS HIS DUTY AND HE LOVES HIS PEOPLE UNCONDITIONALLY DESPITE THEIR FLAWS.
âI mean, I think in game dialogue is enough to determine how kind hearted Asgore is towards other monsters.â
âI thinkâ isnât very reassuring. Again, you should be able to support your âfavoriteâ character.
âI feel like itâs more what theyâve been through than Asgore himself that makes asgoriel toxic.â
What happened was that Asgore was wrathful that his children was murdered and said that he wanted humans dead in his grief. Toriel knew he didnât mean this but the people didnât and wanted him to follow through. It is Asgoreâs role to do what the people want. NOT TO MENTION THAT IT WAS LITERALLY THE ONLY THING GIVING THEM âHOPEâ. A VITAL COMPONENT OF A MONSTERâS SOUL. Asgore had no choice but to do what his people wanted because the only other option was to watch the rest of his people âfall downâ and die. Asgore weighed the choices. A handful of lives or an entire race? Toriel was simply upset he had to choose at all and tried to avoid losses on either side by stalling the fallen humans. (Which never worked since they were suicidal in the first placeâŠ) In a way, Toriel supported Asgore and was actively trying to prevent him from killing anyone. (Whether or not Asgore actually killed anyone is unknown but at least one of the humans was murderous and two others were shown to have died before reaching him.) Either way, Toriel goes out of her way to save her soulmate and eventually works with him at the school showing that she still cares deeply about him. How is Asgoriel itself toxic if they still care deeply about each other?
âget-that-shit-off-the-internet  answered: Ok..Youâre right youâre being very civil i apreciate it..â
At least mamar11 attempts to use proper grammar⊠Also, when have you guys ever been civil? You blatantly hate Asgore as a character which I have PROOF of.
Acting half your age isnât âmadâ. Itâs childish. But then again, it is you guysâŠ
âAnnoying asgoriel shippers who cross tag in the soriel tagâ
Pfft, I havenât even done anything in the past year. Iâve been dealing with IRL shit like getting my associateâs early or meeting the insane rent my state has. Even when Iâve had the opportunity to, I havenât tagged Soriel. Go ahead and throw your shade. Your aim sucks too much for it to actually hurt.
âand dont look at toriels point of view made me dislike asgoreâ
Iâve looked at Torielâs perspective several times. Also, preferring one character over another clearly shows you are BIAS.
âBut the character himself isnt badâ
Then why do you have so many posts saying the opposite? You clearly hate him.
âThe relationship would be toxic because they would be constantly be reminded of what happend to themâ
And why would that matter? Asgore and Toriel are likely in their 800s (Most likely around 835-845.) and their separation was four decades at most. If you do some simple math the amount of time they spent apart is NOTHING compared to how long they were together. This means that they are more likely to think of the positives than negatives. Again, Asgore holds nothing against Toriel and Toriel doesnât once claim to dislike Asgore. And AGAIN, they work together meaning theyâll eventually bond (If they have not alreadyâŠ) which leads to them getting back together regardless.
âand asgore would be haunted by what hes done of courseâ
How does that go against Asgoriel in anyway? Just because he dislikes his own actions doesnât mean he cannot still be loved. In fact, Toriel would actually help his PTSD DRASTICALLY. Every time he has a night terror? He wakes up in the same bed as her which reassures him everything is fine. What happened to Asgore and Toriel may affect them personally but it wouldnât strain their relationship once they begin healing. You saying they will never recover is actually very concerning and Iâm sure countless people with conditions like PTSD would hate you for assuming such a thing.
âBut toriel would be looking at her old love with heartbreak cause that was the man who killed her childrenâ
WHERE DOES IT SAY HE KILLED THEM? GIVE ME ACTUAL PROOF. Also, these were suicidal or, at the very least, depressed children without homes. If Asgore did in fact kill them, it would be either considered manslaughter due to the circumstances or mercy kills seeing as THE ENTIRE UNDERGROUND HATED HUMANS for a good couple of decades. Toriel at most would blame Asgore a bit but as the game suggests, she mainly blames her people.
âthose children she tried to protect who most likely before frisk escaped the ruins to be murdered soon afterâ
So not Asgoreâs fault at allâŠ
âor when they got to asgoreâ
Proof? The game says that no one ever got to Asgore alive meaning that they all likely died before even meeting him.
âWhen he didnt have to not only give those monsters false hopeâ
âHopeâ is literally a component of a monsterâs soul, so yes, he HAD TO.
âand murder those she tried so hard to protectâ
You keep insinuating that Asgore killed the fallen humans but have zero evidence.
False. Toriel specifically mentions âtheyâ will kill Frisk before even mentioning Asgore. Toriel is more frightened by the Undergroundâs mob mentality than she is of her husband killing someone. Why? BECAUSE ITâS NOT IN ASGOREâS NATURE TO KILL. Hell, Asgore DRAGS IT OUT AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, giving Frisk SEVERAL opportunities to leave and do whatever they want. He even holds back in the fight because he would rather die instead. He only holds on because it is his duty as king to be there for his people.
âWe dont know what happend between themâ
We do actually⊠The game says she left the day after his announcement. There wasnât a big fight or anythingâŠ
âhe could have terrified herâ
Pfft, Asgore wouldnât do that to his wife. Plus sheâs known him for centuries. She wouldnât be afraid of him ever.
âshe could have clawed his faceâ
Both Toriel and Asgore are pacifists so I doubt she would use violence.
âshe could have walked away without saying a wordâ
That is what happened. The fact you had to GUESS shows you donât care about UnderTale at allâŠ
âand he didnt stop her cause he was intent on going through with this crazy ideaâ
He wasnât âintentâ. In fact he put up a facade to aid the humans. He ordered the removal of spike traps, wanted the Royal Guard to CAPTURE humans, not kill, and again, dragged out the fight with Frisk for as long as he could.
âWhat we do know is it would be INSANE that they would work it out enough to be together again and act like nothing happendâ
Not really. Again, both Asgore and Toriel were against the plan and tried to go against it in secret. They also already work together at the school and are raising Frisk by default. There isnât much in the way of them talking things out and reconciling at all. ASGORIEL IS NOT TOXIC AT ALL.
âExample: If a friend of yours got back with their partner after they had sex with someone else do you think that they could just let that go?â
Cheating is a different thing entirely and has nothing to do with Asgoriel as neither one would ever cheat on the other.
âAnd have a healthy relationship again?â
Asgore and Toriel would naturally need to talk things out and start out as friends again but nothing is in the way of them reconciling as they are equals and share the same values.
âWhat if said partner did something more serious like trying to kill theyre beloved pet/child? Or hurt them?â
Asgore never tried to hurt anyone and even says so. He actively prevented as much bloodshed as he could. And it worked seeing how Frisk actually managed to make it to him in the first place. Since Asgore never really tried to kill Frisk (and Frisk forgave them for everything regardless) there is no reason for Toriel to hate him. Also again, ITâS NOT MURDER IF YOU ARE FORCED TO COMMIT IT. Learn some legal termsâŠ
âYou think even if said partner was kind to everyone it would be ok?â
Again, Asgore has not committed any actual crimes and you are clearly bias against him.
âOr changed and has always been a nice guy?â
âchangedâ and âalwaysâ canât be in the same context like that. Seriously, take an English class or somethingâŠ
You do know who you are agreeing with, right? These guys hate Asgore with passion.
âEven as an Asgore fanâ
Iâm revoking your right to call yourself that seeing as you just said you agreed with these morons.
âI AM annoyed when people completely ignore his flaws and act as if Toriel is 100% bad.â
Both characters have flaws and actually compliment each other well. Toby Fox literally made them for each other on purposeâŠ
âGranted, I do prefer Asgore over Torielâ
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT? Because after that shameful display of defending Asgore, I doubt you truly do.
âbut theyâre both morally grey charactersâ
Not really⊠They are both pacifists who like humans. They were simply forced into their situation because their people can be dense as hell. Toriel abandoned her people to try and prevent humans from interacting with them while Asgore tried to stall for time while his Royal Scientists (Gaster/his assistants and Alphys) tried to bypass the barrier through different methods.
âand ignoring that is ignoring what makes them such interesting characters in the first place.â
Then why do you people blatantly try to disprove Asgore and Toriel still love each other?
âI love Asgore BECAUSE he fucked up and declared warâ
Yeah, he fucked up but he repents for that constantly and tries to make up for it as best he can.
âBECAUSE he killed 6 humansâ
WHERE IS YOUR EVIDENCE. Asgore did not kill anyone and is guilty of zero crimes. YOU SAY YOU LOVE ASGORE YET THROW HIM UNDER THE BUS? Fuck. That. Bullshit.
âand BECAUSE he goes as far as to commit suicide in front of Frisk.â
He sacrifices himself for several reasons. He doesnât want to kill anyone, wants to see his kids again, wants Frisk to go to the surface so that they can get help, and trusts Toriel to take over the throne in his absence. He kills himself because he is a martyr and loves everyone that much. If you think about it, he died so that everyone would be free. He thought, âWWJD?â and died for their sins basically.
âIâm sick of people treating him as a cinnamon roll, because cinnamon rolls donât do thatâ
So what you are saying is that you hate people who have attempted suicide. Real nice of you⊠He was literally giving up his life for Frisk. If you have an issue with such a sweet sacrifice, you can kindly fuck off with your bullshit.
âAnd yeah, while I do think forgiveness isnât out of the questionâ
âI still feel like them getting back together wouldnât be possibleâ
Why? They clearly still care for each other and everyone else is for it. What is stopping Asgore and Toriel from reconnecting?
âand if it happened, wouldnât be healthy at allâ
It would be just as healthy as it was before. Relationships donât just magically deteriorate. Toriel would have to actually hate Asgore for their relationship to turn toxic. And she never does hate him. IF YOU THINK CHARACTERS HATE HIM WHEN THEY CLEARLY DONâT, WHY DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A FAN OF HIS?
âI often see the âAsgore needs to be happyâ argumentâ
What happy ending doesnât have happy people?
âbut I have serious doubts he would be happy for long being with the person he hurt so muchâ
He literally welcomes her back into his life the moment he sees her. What game did you play? Asgore may hate himself but he doesnât hate the love he has for his wife and vice versa.
ânot to mention itâs not like Asgore is all alone in true pacifistâ
He literally is. He does as much as he can to protect the humans lives while putting up a facade.
âhe has an entire kingdom that admires him.â
âThat said Iâm done talking about it because I donât wanna sound like Iâm shipbashingâ
Too late for that. After your shameful display of hating on Asgoreâs history and mixing up fact with fiction, you no longer have the right to be a fan of his.
âand I DO understand why some people like asgorielâ
It is literally canon. LOOK AT THE FACTS AND REMOVE YOUR SKELETON-LOVING BIAS.
âeven if I donât agree with it.â
If you disagree with canon facts, you are not a fan of UnderTale. Plain and simple.
âAnd Iâm glad we could have a civil talk about itâ
You are completely bias and donât even know the facts.
âbecause that kind of thing is rare when it comes to discussing ships and favorite charactersâ
Because you donât even begin to understand character motivationâŠ
God. You guys really need to read up on stuff or play the game moreâŠ
