what proof can you possibly have that toriel is an alcoholic other than a misunderstanding of situational comedy
Now this is basically a cop-out but I should preface, I don’t think she’s like, insanely alcoholic, I just don’t have enough evidence, but I do think there is a decent case that she has a pretty bad relationship with alcohol historically
Obviously the first thing would be the thing that started it
This sets up the pattern we continue to see in all of these examples, Toriel gets drunk, does something dumb, someone brings it up later, she avoids talking about it out of shame. Seen in; like all of the alarm clock dialogue
And of course, in chapter 1 of Deltarune(featuring Chapter 4 context, so cheating kind of sorz)
In the end, to me it seems like Toby has been setting up an alcohol dependency into Toriel’s character for a while now, but if I haven’t changed your mind I haven’t changed your mind.
