alright this has 8ugged me for long enough, i gotta get this off my chest. something to point at.
flowery is not right, and i'm tired of people pretending he is.
sure. at first sniff, instinctually, he kinda seems right. he's just a guy who wants his dream to come true, his family's dream to come true, and effectively make his dad happy. and YOU, your little gang, your little clu8, your little squad, come in out of nowhere and demand this 8e put a stop to.
8ut hold on a second, this isn't 8eing put to stop for no reason. the dark fountains aren't 8ad cuz of some moral reason, all darkners will die if there's more fountains. they HAVE to 8e closed.
so close yours, flowery tells you. 8ut hold on, that's him asking YOU to give up YOUR dream. what makes his dream 8etter than yours?
that's a question posited in the chapter. why is your dream 8etter than his and asgores?
really, the dreams of the flowers, to learn, cook, protect, play, uphold justice, and love are not 8etter than yours. and yours are not 8etter than theirs.
and neither is that the case for flowery. wanting to make your dad and si8lings dreams come true, to give them a place to 8lossom as you were given, that's 8eautiful man. i'm crying just thinking a8out it.
8ut his dream is flawed.
it is not lesser 8y the qual8ty of its contents, 8ut the real8ty of the situ8tion.
first and foremost, asgore does not want this dream. he wants to go home away from all this. he never wanted any of this. flowery was pushing for something someone didn't want. kris, susie, ralsei, everyone involved WANTS castle town to persist.
8ut who cares a8out that. f8ck asgore he's stupid the rest of the flowers should get to dream still, yeah?
i agree. they should. 8ut there's a secondary factor at play. the physical real8ty of the world.
i know it can 8e easy to say "f8ck the rules, make your own f8!" 8ut f8 is a lot more complex than you might think. you might've conceptualized it as some exterior force imposing something ar8itrarily unto our heroes. 8ut there is a f8 the seven colored flowers can never escape.
they need sunlight. they are very, very fragile. and will die without it. the angel didn't do this, the knight didn't do this, kris, susie, ralsei, no one did this. it's just the way things are. flowers need light to live.
if they were to keep their fountain open, and castle town closed, then the whole of the flower kingdom would slowly wither away and die. leaving naught 8ut an empty husk.
flowery is wrong. he does not win the final fight. the fun gang sand8ag against him, refuse to fight unlike the previous 8oss's, praying that may8e he is right. 8ut even when you do your 8est, flowery in the end, is the one to give up.
8ecause he knows. he knows how fake all this is. how fake he is. how wrong he is. perhaps flowery hoped he could keep his own dream. a thought that if kris just didn't seal the fountain he could've had it.
even as you lose, you get healing items, you get second chances. this cannot end any other way. if it did, it would 8e terri8le. flowery knows this.
it's tragic. it's tragic these kids, what are effectively kris's si8lings, only got to live for one day. they 8arely even knew who they were. they saw one sunrise and one sunset, and it was the most 8eautiful thing ever.
8ut it had to end. and there is no escaping that inevita8il8ty. it's only a question.
will it end with everyone living. or with everyone dying? light or darkness.
in the end, flowerys choice was light.
what makes flowery, all the flowers wonderful, is in the end, they didn't want to end kris's dream just so theirs could die in their hands.
