A Place for my Art (MDNI)

I am on team tennar,,,if it wasnt obvious.

prefacing this by saying i'm not sure how much of this was intentional given how asgore is coddled by the writing in this chapter; but flowery's dynamic with asgore does interest me somewhat. i don't think it's a stretch to say that just as the other flowers are clearly invoking the idea of their counterparts from undertale, so too is flowery invoking flowey, but even within deltarune itself he is very clearly evoking asriel; he is the popular, flirtatious golden boy, informed by all the reminders of asriel's feelings for dess kris encountered that morning. he tries to do things with asgore that asgore did or wanted to do with asriel; going to the diner together, skateboarding, and so on. but he also reads metaphorically as asgore's neglected child; begging asgore to forget about the past he's obsessed over and play with him and his friends only to be sternly rebuked in a way that seems to evoke how he may have acted towards asriel and kris as chief of police. in spite of claiming to be nothing like ralsei, flowery is exactly like them; a flowerner whose only concern is asgore and making asgore happy. he wants asgore to move on from the past and spend time in the darkness with him, but as long as he unwittingly clings to his purpose, things will always go back to the sun-lit way they used to be, and he will never become more than a flower. he's his own person, but his identity is strangled by the person he owes his life to.

Hey everyone, this isn't something I like to do but my new kitten, Peppernut is in pretty bad shape and we barely have any funds to cover her vet bills. If you'd all be so kind as to share her fundraiser, it would mean the world to us.

Transactional: everything has to be exactly 50/50 all the time, pay me back for the £5 sandwich or buy me something worth exactly £5, I refuse to make an effort for you if there’s nothing in it for me
