Kinda about the Alphonse kids, but how do Alphys and Undyne parent? They’re very different, and as such should have different parenting styles. Do they treat each child differently?
Alphonse kids
But yeah!
I like to headcanon, at least post pacafist, Alphys works and Undyne is the most badass stay at home mom ever.
Izumi Curtis vibes
I also made a post a while back that I might redraw with the new Asgere design but It’s very much the dynamic.
Undyne does know the basics of how to raise kids, but she’s still.....rusty. She’s in a danger zone when the kids are too young to think/walk/do litterally anything.
She knows what to feed them and what they’re not allowed to touch but she’s either suPER bored (bc they’re all sleeping) or VERY overwhelmed (bc there’s six of them)
Getting them all in one room when they’re energised is like herding cats. They’re everywhere and cannot be contained. Thankfully Undyne knows how to bench press seven kids. Also if Alphys is at work Undyne WILL call Asgore, Toriel, Or Papyrus to come and help. (also maybe Frisk and Mk when they’re old enough to babysit)
Their punishment whenever their naughty is sitting in the corner while undyne guards them. It can only be for like 15 minutes but Undyne’s kids get as easily bored as her so it’s fitting enough.
Undyne And Alphys also set up a buddy system. Metteora is buddies with Nessim, Moe Is buddies with Madden, and Asgere is buddies with Unwin. These buddies share a room and, even though they all look out for each other, they’re specifically in charge of their buddy. They don’t have to do litterally everything together, It’s just simple tasks like knowing where they are and how to get to them.
At a pretty young age Undyne started training them and Alphys started teaching them, To see where their intrests lied. When they get older their not all trained or taught. they all go to school but only Nessim and Metteora are tutored by Al. And only Asgere, Mo, and Unwin are trained by Undyne.
When it comes to their shortcomings, Alphys is very nervous around her kids because she is very worried about failing as a parent, so she’s kind of a pushover and can’t say know.
Undyne isn’t very emotionally connected, so she doesnt know how to respond when her kids are in emotional peril. She mostly pats them on the head, tell them everythings gonna be alright, and sends them out to run a few laps chanting about how great they are. (that is her go to)
When it comes to their strengths, Alphys loves answering questions and telling her kids everything about the world, and unlike Undyne she can provide a bit more emotional support.
Undyne is a mama bear and not only will she protect her children from anyone but she will train her kids to protect themselves. All of her children know self defense and can do it very well. As well as she’s a very good motivator, she belives in her kids and they know that, but they also know she wont hate them or be dissapointed if they fail.
sooooo
yeah.
