I AM INVESTED IN THEM. Asgore doesn't wanna let him go but he knows Rudy's chronically ill in a semi critical way and his lungs get to him. Where is his mobility aid :(
Look I'm saying my theory is based: Toriel and Asgore clashed so much that Asgore probably cheated with someone. Maybe Rudy. And now he's trying to win back her love. TORIEL IS BEING PURSUED UGHHH. He's harmless but annoying. Like Berdly. Do you see parallels??
Leading to their literal divorce.
ASGORE PLENTY PEOPLE WOULD LOVE YOU COME ON...
I don't think they're exes tbh. Rudygore...I think Rudy and Asgore both know he's constantly battling cancer or something so premature demise is always likely :(
Or nothing morally ambiguous happened but Toriel just broke things off because I dunno. She's wiser and pragmatic and knows they should be with other people
Idgaf Soriel is good. Sans understands her and they have wonderful chemistry, yknow??? I know Toriel can be petty but c'mon.
Asgore doesn't deserve to be demonized but you have to realize he just wants to protect the kids with Toriel again, and he has the true knowledge.
