That is fair. Though I will say episode one is amazingly shit compared to most of the show. A friend had to drag me kicking and screaming through it. Picks up after that, though. So I feel.
Oh my god, I've just realized something. Spoiler: Pacifist ending stuff The name Asriel Dreemurr is an anagram of Serial Murderer. Wow.
Spoiler: endgame spoilers, I guess I'm watching someone's lp and they're just before the core, and there's that fountain in the resort. 'Royal Memorial Fountain, Built 201x', it was made to remember Asriel and Chara after their deaths (has to be, there's no other explanation), and Mettaton just slams himself in the middle of it makes it harder to ship Asgore and Mettaton, is what I'm saying. Asgore's pretty chill but I don't think he would be okay with that at all. why do I even care, I prefer Asgore/Gaster over Asgore/Mettaton anyway. why am I thinking about this
We don't know for sure if the frightened figure even is Gaster, but it's commonly assumed that he is. So people use him as a way of explaining some of the gaps in the backstory, and they can give him whatever personality they like, without needing to adhere to much of anything besides "Scientist who made the Core."
yooooo just because gaster isn't all there (or here, or over in that spot) doesn't mean he shouldn't get smooched
I'll smooch all the skeletons. you can't stop me *mettaton pose* My cunning innuendo was uncovered to quickly *gasp*
That was an experience of flashing lights and what the hell even. I don't think I regret watching it. Amazing. ANYWAY! @unknownanonymous alerted me to an exciting thing.
I see this as a Post-Pacifist Chara and Asriel song. I let them strip your mausoleum so nothing was left, but they forgot to close the casket… They sent you shivering to my doorstep. Gently clawing at my window when I was less than awake, I slid it up for you to slither through. I heard you howling, "Just take me! Just take me to the rusty city we perfected, that holy summer we first found!” The place you’re stubbornly protecting is the only pretty thing that we own now, and we can stay here to wither in your garden of eden, but your fantasy’s a prison and you’re serving a sentence you can't stop repeating.
Hey Undertale thread, you seem like the best place to ask for help on this. Has anyone seen the twitter post where Toby says Asgore killed all the prior kids? I see it quoted a lot on tumblr and have people correct me on theories about it, but I have never seen the post itself. I just want to see it, especially since it seems to contradict in-game statements ("Please excuse me, I've never done this before.") so I'm not sure what to make of Asgore otherwise.
I've seen it - he goes 'Past asgore, not to asgore' (as in, they never made it past asgore, not they never made it to asgore), then goes 'rip x 6'. Lemme try to find it.
