and thennnnn i cant be bothered to name all the characters in this one lmao

I wanted to figure out what the "Field of Pink and Gold" was actually referencing in this chapter if not the fat cat itself directly. The one and most abundant answer seems to be Mad Mew Mew (Pink) and Flowery (Gold) both being what the "Field of Pink and Yellow" was about.

And if the two of them were placed as a dichotomy that means that there should be a connection. And I think this here is it in the form of an old FRIEND theory that has gained a whole lot more sense in my eyes since then.

That being that FRIEND's Pink and Gold eyes represent two different concepts at the same time: VALUE and LOVE. Value in the sense of statistics and therefore the intricate knowledge of the world of Deltarune and Love in one's ability to form and understand the nature and power of bonds of love, family and friendship. And in this context Mew Mew and Flowey would be basically a Yin and Yang dichotomy of these two values.

Flowery would be rather obvious in how he constantly breaks and twists the mechanics of the game to his will as seen with all his maxed out Values/Stats and possesses deep knowledge of its mysteries.. While Mew Mew wholly lacks them on every level, despite her nature as a secret boss (which only emphasizes its absence).

And Mad Mew Mew in turn is a boss fight all about Love, her battle's mechanic is literally showering her with love until we get to go on a date with her and the main gist of her story is about her learning to accept the love of others but also love herself... Meanwhile Flowery's main struggle is that he fundamentally does not understand Love beyond a surface level.

He and the other flowers truly and genuinely love Asgore and want to repay him in his kindness... But do not understand his struggles, they do not understand why he cares about his work with his "conspiracy" and his family, if both make him experience "bad" emotions. Why doesn't Asgore just do "fun" things to feel "good" emotions? They are trying to make Asgore by giving him "happy" things and experiences without understanding what he truly wants... Because this is in the end, are just the dreams of a Flower.
