#undertale essay

Cool text I did about undertale and the true lab. Maybe is an essay? idk but here it is part 4

So yeah, I'm continuing my essay, read the other 3 I made to understand this

Flowey

Also, thanks to the Lab entries we find, we can figure out who Flowey is, the first monster we encounter, a menacing killer flower that wants to teach us how to fight enemies but wants to get our souls, just like every other monster in the underground. Since Asriel died in the flower bed with its dust getting to the flowers, and Alphys gave determination to it, Asriel revived. As a flower, it was scared and didn't know what happened, but it was a flower filled with hatred, with no love, just determination. But since we know he had the most determination in the underground, he could reset, save files, etc, like the player, so this gives us the idea of Flowey in this new body, that couldn't even be recognized by its own parents, and nobody remembering, led him to try a lot, to reset, try multiple endings, who it could have been kind, or a killer. We get aware of this because of his Omega Flowey fight, and dialogue from him in the genocide route. After we fight asriel dreemurr in the pacifist route, we can backtrack through the whole underground, and if we manage to go all the way to the flower bed at the beginning of the game, we find Asriel, who gives us interesting information if we keep interacting with him, not only from him but also about what really happened.

* Don't worry about me.

* Frisk, please leave me alone.

* I can't come back.

* I just can't, OK?

* I don't want to break their hearts all over again.

* It's better if they never see me.

* ... why are you still here?

* Are you trying to keep me company?

* Frisk...

* Hey.

* Let me ask you a question.

* Frisk...

* Why did you come here?

* Everyone knows the legend, right...?

* "Travellers who climb Mt. Ebott are said to disappear."

* Frisk.

* Why would you ever climb a mountain like that?

* Was it foolishness?

* Was it fate?

* Or was it...

* Because you...?

* Well.

* Only you know the answer, don't you...?

* I know why Chara climbed the mountain.

* It wasn't for a very happy reason.

* Frisk.

* I'll be honest with you.

 * Chara hated humanity.

* Why they did, they never talked about it.

* But they felt very strongly about that.

* Frisk...

* You really ARE different from Chara

* In fact, though you have similar, uh, fashion choices...

* I don't know why I ever acted like you were the same person.

* Maybe...

* The truth is...

* Chara wasn't really the greatest person.

* While, Frisk...

* You're the type of friend I wish I always had.

* So maybe I was kind of projecting a

  little bit.

* Let's be honest.

* I did some weird stuff as a flower.

* There's one last thing I feel like I should tell you.

* Frisk, when Chara and I combined our SOULs together...

* The control over our body was actually split between us.

* They were the one that picked up their own empty body.

* And then, when we got to the village...

* They were the one that wanted to...

* ... to use our full power.

* I was the one that resisted.

* And then, because of me, we...

* Well, that's why I ended up a flower.

* This whole time, I've blamed myself for that decision.

* That's why I adopted that horrible view of the world.

* "Kill or be killed."

* But now...

* After meeting you...

* Frisk, I don't regret that decision anymore.

* I did the right thing.

* If I killed those humans...

* We would have had to wage war against all of humanity.

* And in the end, everyone went free, right?

* I still feel kind of sad knowing how long it took...

* ... so maybe it wasn't a perfect decision.

* But you can't regret hard choices your whole life, right?

* Well, not that I have much of a life left.

* But that's besides the point.

* Frisk, thank you for listening to me.

* You should really go be with your friends now, OK?

* Oh, and, please...

* In the future, if you uh, see me...

* Don't think of it as me, OK?

* I just want you to  remember me like this.

* Someone that was your friend for a little while.

* Oh, and Frisk...

* Be careful in the outside world, OK?

* Despite what everyone thinks, it's not as nice as it is here.

* There are a lot of Floweys out there.

* And not everything can be resolved by just being nice.

* Don't kill, and don't be killed, alright?

* That's the best you can strive for.

* Well, see you.

* Don't you have anything better to do?

Honestly, my favorite character is Flowey, maybe because of its bad, menacing personality, or the way it looks, but the most important thing, its story, and how important it is to the Undertale lore. Flowey may not have a soul, but it is not just a killing monster; it does have feelings. It was Asriel Dreemurr, the son of the royal family, and to then die because of the idea of his best friend, to get revived as a flower in the true lab, seems like a great story to me. Finally, my last thing to say is my favorite line from Flowey, in the pacifist route at the end, even after the credits, it appears a black screen appears, then Flowey appears before the game relaunches… 

hi

Seems as if everyone is perfectly happy.

Monsters had returned to the surface.

Peace and Prosperity will run across the land.

Take a deep breath.

There’s nothing left to worry about.

…

Well.

There is one thing.

One last threat.

One being with the power to erase EVERYTHING…

Everything everyone’s worked so hard for.

...

You know who I’m talking about, don’t you?

That’s right.

I'm talking about YOU.

YOU still have the power to rest everything.

Toriel, Sans, Asgore, Alphys, Papyrus, Undyne…

If you so choose…

Everyone will be ripped from this timeline…

…and sent back before all this happened

Nobody will remember anything…

You’ll be able to do whatever you want.

…

That power.

I know that power.

That’s the power you were fighting to stop, wasn’t it?

The power I wanted to use.

But now, the idea of resetting everything…

I…

I don't think I could do it all again

Not after that

…

So, please.

Just let them go.

Let Frisk be happy.

Let Frisk live their life.

…

But.

If I can’t change your mind.

If you DO end up erasing everything…

…

You have to erase my memories, too.

…

I’m sorry.

You’ve probably heard this a hundred times already, haven’t you…?

Well, that's all.

See you later.

Yeah, that's the end of my essay. Thanks for reading. Maybe I will do a Flowey drawing

So yeah, I'm continuing my essay, read the other 2 I made to understand this

Who is W. D. Gaster?

Moving on from this, I thought it was a little necessary to address who this character is. Gaster is the royal scientist before Alphys, a mysterious character we don’t even know what it looks like. In the game, every time we make a new world or reset, we get something called “fun value,” which is a random number the code gives us for a different set of random events. The more fun value you have, the more likely you will get strange interactions throughout the game, so if we reach a certain fun value, we can interact with gray color monsters called the Gaster Followers, which tells us more about this forgotten scientist. It was the creator of the Core in Hotland, tuning the hotness of the lava to make energy, but Gaster fell into its own creation, which caused it to be “shattered across time and space.” Also, we have a small chance to find a gray door by the waterfall, and by entering, we find a mysterious person, who, once we interact with it, disappears. Many people think this is how Gaster looks, but we know exactly since it never tells us what Gaster looks like. Also, this character gets related to the word font Wingdings, a type of language we think this character talks into because of its name being Wing. Dings. Gaster, and sometimes it is also believed that Gaster is the father of Sans and Papyrus, since the characters’ names are word fonts, like Comic Sans and Papyrus, and because of the likely similar appearance

VHS Tapes

In the true lab, we can find VHS tapes from interactions of the Dreemurr family, as if someone put them there to forget what happened.

[Tape 1]

[Toriel] Psssst. Gorey, wake up.

[Asgore] Mmm? What is it, dear?

[Asgore] ... err, and why do you have that video camera?

[Toriel] Shush! I want to get your reaction.

[Toriel] Gorey, dearest. What is my favorite vegetable?

[Asgore] Hmmm... Carrots, right?

[Toriel] No no no! My FAVORITE vegetable is...

[Toriel] Eda-MOM-e.

[Toriel] ... get it???

[Asgore] ...

[Asgore] Go back to bed, dear.

[Toriel] No no!! Not yet! Hee hee hee.

[Toriel] Now, If I were a dog, what breed of dog would I be?

[Asgore] Hmmm... I don't know, honey. What kind of dog would you be?

[Toriel] I would be...

[Toriel] A MOMERANIAN.

[Asgore] Hohoho!

[Asgore] You sure are excited to have this child.

[Asgore] You know, if you keep making jokes like this...

[Asgore] One day, you could be...

[Asgore] ... a famous MOMedian.

[Toriel] ...

[Toriel] Well, I am going to bed.

[Asgore] Hey! Come on, Tori! That one was funny!

[Toriel] Hahaha, I know. I am just teasing you.

[Toriel] Goodnight, dear.

[Asgore] Goodnight, honey.

[Toriel] ...

[Toriel] Oh dear, perhaps it is too dark in here for the video to come out...

[Tape 2]

[Asriel] Okay, Chara, are you ready?

[Asriel] Do your creepy face!

[Asriel] AHHHHH!! Hee hee hee!

[Asriel] Oh! Wait! I had the lens cap on...

[Asriel] What!? You're not gonna do it again...?

[Asriel] Come on, quit tricking me! Haha!

[Tape 3]

[Asriel] Howdy, Chara! Smile for the camera!

[Asriel] Ha, this time I got YOU! I left the cap on... ON PURPOSE!

[Asriel] Now you're smiling for noooo reason! Hee hee hee!

[Asriel] What? Oh, yeah, I remember.

[Asriel] When we tried to make butterscotch pie for Dad, right?

[Asriel] The recipe asked for cups of butter...

[Asriel] But we accidentally put in buttercups instead.

[Asriel] Yeah! Those flowers got him really sick.

[Asriel] I felt so bad. We made Mom really upset.

[Asriel] I should have laughed it off, like you did...

[Asriel] Um, anyway, where are you going with this?

[Asriel] Huh? Turn off the camera...? OK.

[Tape 4]

[Asriel] I... I don't like this idea, Chara.

[Asriel] Wh.. what? N-no, I'm not...

[Asriel] ... big kids don't cry.

[Asriel] Yeah, you're right.

[Asriel] No! I'd never doubt you, Chara... Never!

[Asriel] Y... yeah! We'll be strong! We'll free everyone.

[Asriel] I'll go get the flowers.

[Tape 5]

[Toriel] Chara... Can you hear me? We want you to wake up...

[Asgore] Chara! You have to stay determined!

[Asgore] You can't give up... You are the future of humans and monsters...

[Asriel] ...

[Asriel] Psst... Chara... Please... wake up...

[Asriel] I don't like this plan anymore.

[Asriel] I... I...

[Asriel] ... no, I said... I said I'd never doubt you.

[Asriel] Six, right? We just have to get six...

[Asriel] And we'll do it together, right?

Chara and Asriel

Once a Human fell into the underground, the first human to fall was called Chara. Chara was adopted by the royal family and became best friends with their son, Asriel. After Chara became ill and died, Asriel absorbed their soul to fulfill their dying wish of seeing their home village. However, humans attacked Asriel, believing he had killed Chara, and he was fatally wounded, leading to his death in the Underground and his dust to fall on a flower. Asgore and Toriel were sad and angry for losing two kids in one night, while Toriel was devastated, crying. Asgore, the king, got blinded by rage. He said to all monsters that any humans who fell into the underground must be killed. This action led to Toriel's separation from Asgore. While Toriel stayed in the Ruins, the first location of the game, to protect any humans from the other monsters and Asgore, while Asgore still stayed being the king from the underground, to kill any humans that dared to cross the barrier.

Cool text I did about undertale and the true lab. Maybe is an essay? idk but here it is part 1

So I like Undertale a lot, so I made this essay on Google Docs, and it has pictures and all and is like 13 pages, although most of it is filled with spacing and quotes from Undertale, and is kinda long for only to fit in one post, and I actually searched information about it, so yeah, here it is :P

Determination in The True Lab, and also other things I talked about, because I trailed off XD

intro:

Undertale is a Japanese-style RPG game where you can choose to attack or spare enemies and can get different endings depending on the “route” you choose, where you don't always have to be the bad guy, and can show mercy to others. It was created by Toby Fox, who is also the composer for the whole soundtrack. Even though this game is for some players considered a heartwarming experience, while playing one of the routes called “The pacifist route,” becoming friends and sparing everyone, even to the point of saving all monsters from the underground, the pacifist route also contains one of the most interesting areas of all the game, revealing us some lore, good information, and even havig a creepy feeling

Background: How did we get here?

After we finish the mettaton ex fight, in the pacifist route, we can backtrack until the entrance of the core, to then suddenly get a call from Undyne asking to deliver a message to Alphys, a scientist who has been helping us our way in Hotland and the core. When we get to Snowdin and encounter Undyne hanging out with Papyrus, it tells us to deliver a letter to her. When we get to Hotland and to her lab to slide the letter through the door, Alphys, after reading it, gets amazed and opens the door. It was actually a love letter to her from Undyne to Alphys, but since we gave her the letter, she thought it was from us so we get to a part in a waterfall, exactly a trashy area, to have a date with her, and after some silly interaction to the point that Undyne also comes to the trash area in waterfall and even papyrus to come. To then eventually all leave.

After that, when we get to the lab again in Hotland, we see a note on the floor from Alphys saying.

Hey.

Thanks for your help back there.

You guys... Your support really means a lot to me.

But... As difficult as it is to say this...

You guys alone can't magically make my own problems go away.

I want to be a better person.

I don't want to be afraid anymore.

And for that to happen, I have to be able to face my own mistakes.

I'm going to start doing that now.

I want to be clear.

This isn't anyone else's problem but mine.

But if you don't ever hear from me again...

If you want to know "the truth."

Enter the door to the north of this note.

You all at least deserve to know what I did.

And with that, we decide to know “the truth” of Alphys and enter the door, which was actually an elevator, for the elevator to start malfunctioning and fall into a secret area. But even so, what could a monster like Alphys have done to hide this secret from all people? something hidden nobody wanted to know?

Remember how I said Alphys was a scientist? Well, this was the real lab instead of the one we found in Hotland, a dark area, with creepy sounds and an ambiance completely different from what we are used to, bringing discomfort to us. The True lab

Important Info.

Some background information that is important to know to understand this place is to know what exactly happened to humans and monsters. The beginning cutscene of the game tells us that a long time ago, humans and monsters lived in peace, but then a war broke out because of their differences. The humans fell victorious and sealed the monsters in the underground of the world with a magic barrier, only needing 7 Human souls to break it, so the monsters can be free. 

From the books in the library of Snowdin, we find that. While humans are filled with water, monsters are filled with magic. When humans die, their souls can still persist after death, with a power that is called determination, even though other humans can have more than others, or humans can gain more determination than others. When a monster dies, its whole body turns into dust, and to remember them, they spread its dust to its favorite object. Also, besides normal monsters, there are Boss Monsters, who have magic but a small amount of determination and are significantly way stronger than average monsters, but they can also be created by a monster absorbing the soul of a Human, which this can lead to the Boss monster being able to cross the barrier, and to not age, until their sons or daughter reach the same age as the Boss Monsters, and like that Humans can also absorb a monster’s soul to then become a “Determination Beast” who are significantly way more stronger than normal Humans, even though this never gets shown in game but only mentioned, so we don't have much information from it. And a theory states that monsters that are boss monsters since they were born are actually hybrids between humans and monsters, since also in the war, some humans fought alongside monsters, and some monsters had fought alongside humans, even though this is never stated in the game. 

Also, we have game mechanics that are canon in the world of Undertale, like saving a file, resets, savepoints, etc. Humans can gain more determination by exterminating monsters and gaining exp, to then gain more LOVE and become stronger. If we, the player, do this, we make a genocide route, but we never know if we actually become “Determination Beast.” Also that once you enter the underground, whoever has the most determination can save files and savepoints and reset the world.

The essay is kinda long, so yeah, I'm gonna make more posts.
