so this has probably been discussed tons of times before but I wanted to spend some time talking about the symbolism of golden flowers in Undertale, and how the inclusion of golden flowers in a scene can act as a visual shorthand for other things.
Like 70% of this post is about Alphys and how golden flowers are used to represent her guilt and anxiety, but there’s also some discussion about the Boss Monster family.
this is an excellent post; and by god i will chicken peck the n my phone to add a small thought. which. since i can’t use a readmore is going to get creative. Spoilers ho?
There’s only really one person we know has directly interacted with Flowey since Flowey began _____ possibly consistently; at least by the time you arrive. Papyrus.
Papyrus, for whatever reason, can interact with grief. Even if floweys motives are bad, he talks to him. encourages him. Papyrus listens to him.
Sans, meanwhile presumes what he’s being told about is something else. Or he approaches talking about it and chooses to pull away, depending on how you look at it.
Papyrus embraces how he feels, as a person. He is the single most aware person in the game.
Sans deflects, or chooses to not recognize them.
