The anon who mentioned Flowey after Unknown's howdy made me once again think how similar Asriel and Saeran are and I could go on and on about the similarities but basically one thing is how they both have multiple "forms/versions" (while Saeran has alters Asriel has literal different forms physically too)
My thoughts for it were that young Asriel = Ray (the kind and shy soft boys, at least at first glance cough), Flowey = Unknown (both are the first people the player meets and present themselves as nice people who guide the player and end up being the antagonists of certain routes) and God of Hyperdeath = Suit Saeran (SO EDGY and both show up later in the game and go through a whole forgiving and redemption thing with the player)
And GOD do I love them both
Not to out myself as a furry or anything but Asriel has my heart
Oh and not to mention how their names have rather similar letters hfjdhfhf
Anyway, I really recommend trying Undertale out one day! Maybe you'd also like Asriel👉👈
I have no context for Undertale apart from some... ahem, rather pointed memes that I saw in the past. I really appreciate someone elaborating on that because I might get around to playing it eventually and I never have a clue how to read a lot more about it without finding spoilers, haha. That, or more of those cursed ol’ memes that I’d rather not witness, lmao. Far too many impressionable youths around here to elaborate.
I do love functionality and duality in characters. Saeran’s definitely not my first rodeo with characters that belong to systems, have extra forms, or so on and so forth. There’s just something really enticing about being able to explore multiple facets all at once. Even if there’s one that you’re partial to at first, you can really find some kind of hook with them.
Like, Unknown got me first, but then hey, you hand me Ray, and I’m jumping off of the ship to go and find a boy in a cravat. I’m not calling myself out but I also very clearly have a type and it’s either intense edgelord or intense pretty boy and I’m okay with that.
At the very least, people now have two layers of brain rot because they have to think about cowboy Saeran but now they have to imagine game crossovers on top of that. No mercy today, y’all. I regret nothing. Nobody tell Unknown that I’m tormenting him with these cowboys memes, though.
And honestly, the best way to entice me into something is to say: Well, XYZ is like the one you [intense simping noises].
