they haven't fought the Ender Dragon yet. but they've been in the nether, they're trying to find netherite in the most inefficient way and dying to lava and goofing off a lot, but they've also fought things like the Wither and survived so they're kind of late game. and it would be messy, but they could pretty conceivably make it to end game like this.

then one of the server members invites her irl girlfriend. the other irl friend wasn't consulted about this and could have mixed feelings even if it's an objectively good idea (mutual friend, know she's smart and will probably kick ass at it, you've got your junk unorganized in 17 different chests and lost a few netherite bars like that and you need an intervention, etc)

but imagine you're the girlfriend:

it's not early-game anymore. Castle Town has tons of builds, lots of progress made, we've got people we're grieving Noelle never met, in-jokes she won't understand, the team has fought a Titan before and she has no way of really knowing what that means, and she's being asked to just jump in. and jump in just to do what? organize? be consulted? what's her role to play that will make her feel like she's important and valued?

We'll give her our good armor and weapons and show her around, but wouldn't you feel a little bit like a fish out of water being invited in so late into such an already-established dynamic? With seemingly only a few big goals left to work towards?

So she joins a group of flowers, afraid that they'll reject her because she isn't a "real" flower. Just a ghost of a Lightner living a half-life, putting on pretty pink clothes so she can look like the flowers.

But contrary to her fears, the flowers happily embrace her. Despite everything, she's a flower to them. They're all happy she's there! Even if she wasn't born a flower, she's a flower to them.

she likes creepy stuff, enjoys horror movies and seemed to really vibe with the dark make-up she had on in the photo for catti's cd. i think this girl would dress alt goth if she could

dance rivals :-)

like I love asgore very much as a character because he has very interesting flaws, and it is because of these flaws that make me want to throttle him for saying this.

first, where credit is due, congratulations to asgore for finally figuring out he should not have been treating toriel like that.

but secondly, on god asgore if flowery's actions towards you made you realise this you would NOT survive the bullshit you've been putting toriel up with

for the 4 chapters leading up to this we've been subjected to asgore's cringe fail flop attempts to woo toriel back and he is consistently met with visible discomfort and displeasure

(not to mention the fact that he violates the number 1 rule of handling your children in a divorce which is to NOT make them the middle man)

meanwhile asgore assumes that flowery knows that he's playing along, he assumes flowery knows its not reciprocated, and then he calls it unasked for affection

my brother in angel you were "playing along" and did not tell him straight up, he is not going to catch the hint, he is a flower, today is his first day of consciousness and social interaction

flowery's reaction while a little funny because he's asking about the mixtape is also genuine because he now has to reevaluate what asgore actually feels because he genuinely wants to make asgore happy, his whole entire dream hinges on it

and then asgore says he's learned that the pushy actions he's been giving his ex wife was wrong because he felt a fraction of how it felt to be on the receiving end
