everyone i see talking about flowery deltarune keeps being like "i hate this guy but i'm sure tumblr loves him" but honestly? looking at his design and characterization, i don't think we're supposed to be going crazy over him. he's far too obviously an overdone anime twink sexyman, he's so over-the-top that i think we're supposed to hate him. he's what tumblr would've done with flowey back in the era when we were turning bill cipher into a skinny white twink (if not for the whole actually being asriel thing). but these days, the deltarune fandom is much more into characters that are at least kind of freaks (see: tenna and spamton). flowery meanwhile is a conventionally attractive anime boy with a slick and smooth demeanor. flowery is so aggressively appealing that he wraps back around to being obnoxious. and i think that's rather the point.
