I’ll never get over the amalgamates getting to go back home to their families in True Pacifist. I’m so, so used to stories that go, “this person is too broken, physically or mentally or both, to ever be put back together. they’re not the way they once were, so they’re good as dead. killing them is the only act of mercy.“

I’m so glad Undertale didn’t do that.

The True Lab intentionally plays on horror tropes. Phantasmal pursuers whose ability to appear and disappear defy logical attempts at evasion. Mutated, undead shambling creatures whose original selves are utterly destroyed.

But…like the rest of Undertale’s relationship to RPG tropes…subversion occurs.

It becomes increasingly clear that the amalgamates aren’t evil ghosts or mindless zombies. They’re victims of medical malpractice who miss their families. And when we find them returned to their families…they’re happy. Their families are happy. Things are different now, yea. It’s pretty weird for everyone. The new situation will take some time getting used to. But… it’s mostly good.

a non-exhaustive list of ridiculous shit undyne has done:

  • refrain from killing someone she wanted to see dead because they were hiding in grass that alphys likes to use to make ice cream
  • whisper “behind you” into an echo flower so she could look cool when ambushing the human she wanted to kill
  • stop her monologue halfway because “WHY SHOULD I TELL THAT STORY WHEN YOU’RE ABOUT TO DIE” but really she forgot what she was actually going to say
  • supplex a boulder in the middle of battle just because she can
  • stop in the middle of chasing someone she was trying to kill because they got a phone call
  • give someone cooking lessons instead of military training
  • obstinately refuse to even be nice to you until papyrus challenges her to become friends with you after which she becomes determined to become BESTIES
  • throw a spear at her guest when they tried to get up, breaking her table in half
  • “I don’t like cold food so I had alphys make me a fridge that keeps stuff warm”
  • build a giant sword she saw in an anime once
  • say she was a really hot blooded kid as if she’s not fucking hot blooded now
  • try to fight the king of all monsters when she was like 10
  • clear her kitchen for cooking by jumping on the counter and kicking everything off
  • make pasta sauce by punching vegetables to bits
  • stir spaghetti by mashing into the pot with a magic spear
  • own a stove that can only be turned up never turned down
  • burn her house down by cooking spaghetti and presumably not for the first time either
  • demand to fight an 8 year old in her burning house in an attempt to regain her dignity
  • start a pillowfight with papyrus and when he told her not to use the couch pillows she picked up the entire couch to throw at him
  • “the trash heap is a great place to pick up girls”
  • the flattery supplex
  • talk to alphys about the weather as an excuse for calling her even though the underground has no weather
  • write alphys a love letter that she seals tightly enough to make you need a chainsaw to open it but then forgot to sign it
  • slam dunk alphys into a garbage can
  • ask an 8 year old for confirmation that anime is real
