Flowery refuses to let us close his dark fountain, even if Asgore objects, for the sake of him and his friends finally having the elevated consciousness  that was once always out of reach for them. Effectively saying that unless the fun gang literally kills them all, they can’t close the fountain, and that closing it would even be the same as killing them. That it isn’t fair their fountain stays open, if they’re the ones who would die either way since they can’t be brought to theirs and can’t stay in the one they’re already in.

After kicking their butts with his OP fuckass determination powers, Flowery compromises with the fun gang to close their castle town and bring all the castle town recruits to the flower shop.

Ralsei and Susie are, of course, kinda pissed that they have to share dark fountains now. Susie grows a bit more used to it, as she befriended pretty much all the flowers and wanted them to come with in the first place, but Ralsei is. Not adjusting to no longer being the one providing things in the dark world for his friends. He’s no longer the prince of his own castle.

Asgore is also now a part of the party, working alongside the fun gang to gather clues and research the fountains further, as well as assisting in future battles.

and I know there’s stuff in here that makes no sense, like, the flowers said they’d die in the darkness anyway, even if their dark world didn’t close, and, where is the roaring knight here? Wouldn’t they have still taken Asgore? And to that I say:

Well…uh…this is just an excuse to fantasize about a world where we get to keep the flowers ok….

"The Bluest Flower, A disciple of my speech.

Shy to no camera, And a specimen of Elegance and kindness.

Should you meet, Please give my regards."

this is my own head canon heavy version of Blue would as a real human! ish. i don't know if his hair flowers are possible actually. i like to think he's named Beau...

i'm planning on doing all the flowers humanized!! but i'm not sure who i should do next hmmmm.............

oh right here's some close ups too

If their thing.

Their special thing.

Their Kris and Susie thing.

Could be.

Her thing.

Too.

It surprises me so much that, in a game universe whose biggest core messages are that of subversion and getting the player to question their own place in its narrative, so many people, including me, fell right for the trap of hating Flowery the moment we saw him.

By using a combination of common tropes associated with two faced or twist villain characters, and the fact so many of us, whether subconsciously or not, were prepared to face a character who’s supposed to be “Deltarune Flowey”, we’re immediately confronted with the fact that, one, Deltarune Isn’t Undertale, and two, Flowery is right. Flowery, most often than not, has a point.

The game wants to make you uncomfortable at your own hypocrisy. It intentionally tries to convince you that it was your idea to start hating him. So that you, as the player, start to try and make excuses as to why even though the both of you want pretty much the same thing, what you want matters more than what he wants.

Flowery seems like he could flip a switch any time he wants. You spend the whole chapter just waiting for it. Waiting for him to drop the mask, but he never does.

He really does love his friends. He really does love Asgore. He doesn’t kill the fun gang, you don’t actually get a game over screen when you lose to him. He reveals his weird meta knowledge to Susie pretty much right when he meets her, and it isn’t difficult for him. It’s not over complicated or stressful, like it is with Ralsei. He tells her where the shelter code is hidden. Right in his soil.
