/Shruggoth I find it fun in a game mechanic sense cuz I am a masochist when it comes to stories lmao. But I am also severely lacking in all religion departments so hmmmm. Idk my opinion on that one I guess!
Opinions are fine! And it's ok when they diverge. I'm just putting it here to be a sort of explanation of my issues with the ending's effects. I do like them, but I just feel that more could be done with it while remaining narratively consistent.
True! I mean fuck idk I was never good at keeping track of time shenanigans in homestuck so I kinda have choppy ability to piece together some of the narrative stuff here. Like it feels coherant to me, but I also am an unreliable narrator
Time shenanigans in Homestuck are pretty maddening, yeah. I honestly gave the fuck up for the most part where it comes to specifics. I've only started to think about it more because of a Handmaid fanfic I am writing. Undertale is a lot simpler thankfully where time shit and narrative is concerned.
I think one of my quibbles with the game is that even with the best ending Spoiler You can't save Asriel. I really wish that there was a way to do that. But it's a relatively minor quibble. Also re: genocide ending, yeah, I kind of wish that you could redeem yourself? Like, it should be difficult but doable.
Yeah that too is a minor quibble of mine because he is my sweet precious summer child. I think the reason I don't take too much offense to the genocide ending is it kinda matches my shit tier world view in which bad things happen forever the end. Lmao
I am still happy that I got the hug the demon hell flower option though. That makes everything worth it. Well that and everything else makes it that. BUT THE DEMON HELL FLOWER HUG.
See what happens to me is my brain finds Flowey and Asriel as two separate entities. Spoiler: Yeah end game shit pretty much I go "flowey is not really asriel, as without a soul, it can't really truly be him. Since his soul is gone, I'm not sure how one would fix this! Asriel is totally a different person from that, and I always get confused when people call him shit like the flower demon child when well... If you aren't really you??? I am sure you'd act weird too?????
Be cool like me and just say that Flowey is not Asriel, but Asriel is also not Asriel. (don't do this. buddhism makes it impossible to talk with people about things existing.)
Lmao. Poor kid did not deserve this. /draws him fanart Edit: /sits in the corner holding a "asriel defense squad" sign
Oh hey Undertale! It is a fantastic game and I love it and it is great and I had to buy Void it. I've already beaten it for the Neutral and the Pacifist endings, but not Genocide, because Spoiler Sans is a goddamn BEAST and I cannot go more than a few rounds in without being dunked on. So I reset and am gonna do another Pacifist run to see Undyne's scenes again because they are all fantastic and afterwards, gonna try Genocide again. Maybe my slaughter can finally be completed.
Mmkay. I just dunno how much really you would get out of our discussion if you can't play. Cuz its mostly gushing about the story and other stuff. /shrugs hardcore
But I was asked to move further talk in an unrelated thread here so I did that. Seriously you don't have to keep repeating that I'm not wanted. I'm going now. I was just stating why I said anything in this thread to start with.
