I was listening to Bonetrousle and thought, “You know what? Papyrus would have a great time with one of those huge pianos that go on the floor and you step on whatever note you want to play it. He’d use it for setting up puzzles, maybe even use his theme as one of the solutions.” But then I realized something.
It’s a piano.
That you hit.
To play music.
That would be the FIRST thing Undyne would buy on the surface, or convince Alphys to make for her. I mean, could you imagine a custom-made floor piano that could withstand the amount of punishment that it would inevitably be put through? She could use it as a teaching tool or, if she’s feeling a bit aggressive for some reason, she could literally pound out a few notes. This just seems like something that people need to think about.
i think my favorite thing about undyne is she’s everything a token female character is Not Supposed To Be
sure Powerful Women have been showing up a lot lately but they’re either 100% mean and evil or they’re strong but also ~motherly and kind~ and still end up being a damsel half the time despite their apparent strengths
undyne’s loud and rude and kind of a jerk sometimes but she’s got a big heart, too, and she cares sooooo much about everything around her, she cares so much about her friends and fellow monsters, but not so much humanity, and not necessarily every monster, either.
she’s not ~kindhearted~ she doesn’t protect people ~despite the fact they’re jerks~
when she allows frisk into her house it’s literally just because papyrus is right there, and ONLY if you haven’t killed anyone—she’s not making exceptions to hang out with murderers even for papyrus.
when she drags monster kid away from frisk, away from an apparent threat, it’s with annoyance and probably a burning anger that she was interrupted
she makes barf jokes. she’s over the top. she makes sarcastic comments and snide remarks and it’s good
a lot of the reasons undertale’s cast is so great is that every character is the literal exact opposite of what you’d expect media to give you. it’s refreshing, plus, they’re all exceedingly real. they all have strengths and flaws they all feel as complex as a real person, and it’s
My half of a trade with @playeronecontroller !! In which Undyne gets carried away, and Chara takes the concept of a pillow fight a little too seriously. I don’t know how you win a pillow fight but Chara is very competitive they’ll find a way.
honestly just really like undertale
