Undertale Asriel - Tumblr Posts

What if frisk was somehow transported a year after chara fell:

Undertale analysis: Chara was a bad person but not because they were an "evil serial killer child" like the fandom portrays.

TW: mentions of mental illness, self harm, and suicide. SPOILER FOR UNDERTALE. yes this game is 8 years old and scarily popular, but its still worth playing! its 10 bucks on steam! get it! Post also contains stupid edits I made to ENHANCE your experience by at least 50% guaranteed or your money back (post cost $0)

first: some backstory. I played Undertale way back in like, 2016 when the game was still fresh yet gaining popularity quickly. The fandom soon after became criminally insane and went on a moral panic where people were harassed for "playing the game wrong". I remember stories of youtubers cancelling Undertale let's plays because they would kill a character and people would get upset. other than AUs, the biggest thing that stuck out to me was the strange obsession with claiming Chara is an evil demon child who is the root of all evil and eats puppies and enjoys drinking the blood of the innocent. and then counter-culture made it so that chara is actually innocent and that the PLAYER is the horrible evil monster eating puppies etc etc.

two extremes that i half-agree with, but mostly disagree with. There was an INSANE black and white mentality that flooded the Undertale space with no breathing room for mistakes. nowadays people have matured and the fandom calmed down, so now would be a great time to explain why i think Chara is a more complex character than people give them credit for. please don't hurt me.

1- Chara very much had mental health issues.

and not in the horror movie way where they were a caraaazay evil serial murderer

a huge misconception is that people assumed the garden tools in toriel's house being dulled was somehow "proof" that Chara was an evil serial murder or something.

though... I think people also forget Chara heavily hinted at struggling with serious depression and misanthropic tendencies.

Chara climbed the mountain to end their own life. the reason the garden tools were dulled wasn't because the Dreemurs were trying to protect other people from Chara, they were trying to protect Chara from themself. it baffles me how a lot of people didn't catch onto that. It could be that we were young teens and didn't know better... but i digress! "but kat? how is Chara a bad person ? are you saying people with depression are-" get that objectively wrong idea out of your head. Having a mental illness does not make you a bad person. If you struggle with suicidal thoughts please get help from loved ones and don't EVER think you are a bad person for struggling. no. chara is a bad person because...

2- Chara was a bitter misanthrope that didn't care about anyone else or their feelings.

there are several lines of dialogue that point to the fact Chara did not like humans. There is a high probability that Chara had a hard home life before falling to the underground and that is possibly why Chara was the way they were. I am not going to send you a million screenshots as to every single bit of evidence of this, I am not made of time and jpegs. (besides i spent the entire budget on photoshop edits) I am however, going to send you the most damning evidence on my side: the true lab tapes. In the pacifist run, you can visit the true lab and find Asgore and Toriel's old home videos. The tapes basically showcase Chara's plan to Asriel where they were to eat the butterscotch flowers, and then Asriel will absorb their soul when they died.

you can watch this youtube video on all of the true lab tapes. to recap the story, Chara died, Asriel absorbed the soul, took Chara's body to the human village and then the humans thought Asriel killed Chara. Asriel refused to fight, walked back to their home and died in the flowerbed. Later on if you talk to Asriel, He mentions he wasn't the one who went to the human village, but it was Chara that was controlling him. He refused to hurt the humans and fight back and essentially they were both taken down. so here are my thoughts (please remember this is my interpretation you are OK to disagree with me)

-Chara probably just used the freedom of the monsters as an excuse to off themselves, Then put that emotional responsibility on Asriel. -They then USED Asriel's body to try and enact revenge on the humans in their death as some kind of messed up murder-suicide but in the wrong order -This ends up Killing Asriel, then he later became a bitter misanthropic husk after being reincarnated by Flowey. Possibly due to the trauma. -This ends up putting the ENTIRE underground in a depressed state with no hope and causing a massive war with the humans -their adopted parents are now divorced due to this tragedy and both Toriel and Asgore started to have conflicting issues on the topic of humans -Asgore basically trapping everyone with him in his own grief because he didn't want to actually face what happened and played the long game collecting souls one by one. -Toriel struggling to move on and essentially trying to mother any human that falls down without facing her demons. -Litterally all of undertale happened. essentially Chara was not a bad person because they were a child version of Jason Voorhees Chara was a bad person because they manipulated their family into having emotional responsibility for their self-inflicted death and hatred of humanity. They made their issues everyone else's problem and didn't consider how their horrible actions would affect others. and in a way, that is one of the morals of Undertale If you don't care about others and how your actions will affect others, then you would be making the world a shitty place in the end. Lets get back to that thing I said earlier about fans harassing other players for little mistakes. killed Toriel on your first play through ? congratulations! you are a horrible irredeemable person who deserves to get death threats ! /s God forbid we have nuance and acknowledge that most players at this point feel BAD about what happened since this is their first play through! And that they CARE about what they did to their new friend! These kind of people ignore the fact that the issue with the genocide run wasn't just the deaths, but that the player didn't consider how the monsters felt after you just ripped away their happy ending. which is the mentality that both Chara and Flowey had.

here is a video i recommend. to quote this video about the sans fight: "They call out the player not for acting immorally but for acting with no moral guidance whatsoever. Flipping back and forth between good and evil for no real reason except that they want to see what happens. In the boss’s own words, committing genocide “because you think you can, and because you can, you have to.” " Chara offed themself and made Asriel emotionally responsible for Chara's fucked up revenge fantasy without considering others feelings The player restarted the timeline (more than likely the good ending) to kill everyone all for the reason of curiosity without considering others feelings. the reason why Chara goes after you at the end of the genocide run is because you basically VALIDATED the deep dark desires of a mentally damaged person and made them watch their loved ones get ritualistically murdered. meanwhile in the pacifist run (with no history of the genocide path on your file), you simply let Chara remain as they were when they passed away. You didn't validate their dark mentally unstable desires, you simply shown Chara that the world isn't a horrible place and that actually caring about other people leads to a better life. If you HAVE played genocide before the pacifist ending, then the lesson does not sit because you still basically led them down a dark path in the end. By caring about how others feel and the impact you leave on people, you are helping retain hope for a better future for everyone, and that is one of the many reasons why i love Undertale.

thank you for reading this massively long analysis, it took me a lot of time and effort to get this put together.

A long time ago A human fell into the RUINS.

Injured by it's fall, the fallen screamed in pain.

ASRIEL, the king's son, heard the fallen's call.

He brought the human back to the castle.

Over time, ASRIEL and the fallen became like siblings.

The King and Queen were still distrustful of the fallen child.

But slowly underground became full of hope for peace.

Then…

One day…

ASRIEL became very ill.

On his death bed ASRIEL

had only one

selfless goal.

To let the fallen see

the flowers from

it's village.

The next day.

The next day.

…

ASRIEL died, his dust

spread over the garden

in the throne room

The fallen, By the

allowance of it's sibling,

absorbed ASRIEL'S SOUL.

They gained incredible power.

With the prince's

SOUL, the fallen

crossed through

the barrier.

It walked into

the sunset.

Back to the

village of the

humans.

The fallen, full of

hatered for it's own

kin.

Slaughtered those

who once exiled it

to the mountain.

Blood, both it's own

and of others covering

their body.

For six years

the fallen walked the surface

seeking to bring death to

anyone in it's way.

Humans could not take

it any longer.

They cornered the now

injured fallen back

at the mountain.

The humans

attacked it

with everything

they had.

It was struck

with blow after

blow.

The lone fallen

couldn't fight an

armed crowd.

And so…

With it's dead brother's

soul…

Now with a grin on

it's face…

It fell once more.

Wounded and tired…

The fallen could not

have survived the fall,

Returning home…

The Red Soul: An Undertale Theory

In the Undertale universe, there can only be one red soul, and it is passed onto a different human after its last vessel dies. That is the theory, and let me explain why I think this is the case.

When you are playing Undertale for the first time, you're led to believe (for the most part) that you are naming the human that you play as (Frisk). The name you pick is shown in the stats menu and it's shown right next to your HP and LV during battle. This wouldn't make sense if Chara and Frisk had two separate souls. This theory explains that: last time, the soul belonged to Chara, and now Frisk has Chara's soul.

Furthermore, I think it also explains why Chara slowly takes control over the course of the Genocide Route. Flowey, despite being a fucking liar, explains this as soon as you meet him: your soul starts off weak, but grows stronger with LV, and guess what you gain more and more of as you progress through the genocide route. That's right. LV. LOVE. If it were Chara's soul, that would perfectly explain why they take over - because when Chara's soul grows stronger, Chara also grows stronger.

Lastly, this explains why Flowey/Asriel believe that Frisk is Chara, despite them looking clearly different. Asriel would've most likely seen Chara's soul considering he absorbed it as part of Chara's plan. Since Asriel and Flowey both see your soul at the start and end of the game respectively, it would make sense for them to believe you are Chara if you were controlling Chara's soul.

So that's the theory: the red soul was once Chara's, and now it belongs to you.

TOBYYYYYYYY

hi yes, do me a favor and count up how many zeroes come after the decimal.

Yeah.

YEAH. NINE ZEROES.

guys... GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

flowey, in his final form, was an extension—a being born from the idea that true strength lay in numbers. that power came from reaching that unattainable summit, the highest peak, where nobody could control or get to him. he even aimed infinity itself.

but that's where the irony lies, isn't it?

here frisk was. standing tall, defiantly clinging to life at 0.0000000001 HP.

nine ZEROES. a number so close to nothingness, it’s barely there at all.

a number so brittle, it should mean the end.

on the precipice of defeat. for anyone else, this would be a definitive game over.

but for frisk... it was somehow enough.

that very fragility, that brush with oblivion, granted frisk a strength flowey could never understand. those nine zeroes were survival distilled down to its purest form.

asriel seethes. how the hell are they still standing? how do they keep going when everything—logic, the numbers—screams that they should be gone? dead! he should be winning!

he hurls everything at them. all his hurt, all his rage, every ounce of power he’s amassed. and still, they remain.

frisk doesn't fight back. they don’t retaliate, don’t strive to overpower him. not because they’re invincible, but because they don’t need to be.

what good is being on top if you’re alone? what does it matter if you have power if it doesn’t fill the emptiness inside?

frisk reflects all the parts of himself he’s buried, the fragments he’s tried so desperately to forget.

remember when you didn’t need to chase the biggest numbers?

when you didn’t keep count of moments, no matter how they made you feel?

when every laugh felt like it would last, and there was something beautiful in just being, even as everything quietly passed by?

AUUUBGHHHH THE NUMBER NINE YOU GUYS!!!! 9!!!! ALWAYS AT THE SCENE OF THE CRIME!! TOBY YOU ABSOLUTE MADMAN

Some Undertale doodles

I'm getting the game soon
