No One In Undertale Knows Your Name

No one in Undertale knows your name

Just think about that for a second. The entire pacifist run, no one ever asks "Oh, by the way what's your name?" while you're dating and befriending them. Toriel just adopted you without even considering this question for a second. If you were to never leave the ruins you would probably spend your whole life being called "my child".

Flowey just stalks you through the game thinking you're Chara and NEVER HEARS ANYTHING THAT WOULD MAKE HIM QUESTION THAT ASSUMPTION.

Sans does not know anything either. On genocide this man has not heard the word "Chara" in his entire life. How would someone who popped into Snowdin with his bro one day know Asriel's story? This guy manipulates reality in your face and does not know your name.

There's a detail in the genocide route that I haven't seen anyone talk about... Chara tells you to "erase this pointless world and move on to the next". What world are they talking about? Deltarune? The afterlife? The player's life?

It's something I've been wondering for a while now.

Here,

Found this thing in the pantry

I’m slowly finding more of them.

Anyways, he kept eating all my stuff, so he’s your responsibility now.

He likes uh.. tons of food. Give him like, a pound of cheese and it’ll be gone within seconds.

Good luck

a "midwife" you say... tch. such a foolish word. a wife could never be mid. all women are epic

Opinion - Sans wasn't threatening you on that date

The iconic line. It's shocking, it's unexpected, it comes from the last person you'd expect it to, and it's fucking terrifying.

But I don't think Sans really intended it to be that way.

Look at where he's facing. He turns AWAY from Frisk when he says that. Sans wasn't trying to threaten you, as one person said he's just darkly stating what could have happened had he not made that promise to Toriel.

Afterwards Sans says to lighten up, which is likely in response to a negative reaction from Frisk. Wouldn't really make sense to do that if he wanted you to feel threatened. Then he tells you to 'take care of yourself, because someone really cares about you.' capping off the conversation with a reassuring message.

Unfortunately, he couldn't have accounted for the existence of sudden music cuts and talk sprites, which kinda ruined everything.

To everyone who thinks that Asgore can dodge like Sans

This idea is based on something Undyne says to you on her date.

It never says that Asgore dodged Undyne's hits. She just said she couldn't land a single blow. This could mean any number of things:

Asgore wasn't moving at all. Undyne simply missed her attacks. Undyne was young and hot-headed and no experience, so this is very possible.

Asgore's DEF was too high for her to hit. In Undertale, your attack can "miss" a monster even if they clearly don't dodge and you hit your attack. When a monster's defence exceeds your attack too much, your attack does no damage and is labelled a miss. You can see this in the first Mettaton fight. Asgore could've just been that much stronger than child Undyne.

Asgore blocked the attacks. Undyne battles in a way that forces the opponent to stay still and attempt to block attacks. Asgore could have parried all of them with his trident.

And EVEN if he did in fact dodge Undyne's attacks, it doesn't necessarily mean he can dodge your attacks.

Monsters use magic offensively by launching projectiles in patterns. There's a difference between magical attacks and physical attacks. One fires moving projectiles that the target tries to avoid, the other just hits. Sans is not traditionally dodging, moving to avoid an incoming hit. He is fundamentally BREAKING THE RULES, which is what his entire fight is all about.

Now, I'm not claiming that Asgore definitely can't dodge. He may very well be able to, but I often see people claiming this is definitely canon when it's much more ambiguous.
