Ahhh sorry for the late reply! I had a gooooood time with a friend, she played Undertale at my place and, while not being a gamer herself at all, she ended up loving the game so much that she didn't want me to pass the Undyne pacifist battle, she ambitioned herself, got killed a buuuunch of times, raged, but then finally beat her on her own, from zero gaming skills to a great win! I was so freakin' happy and enjoyed everything about our experience xD we wanted to finish the pacifist run in one day but we ended up in the Core at 2 a.m. (after being up till like 4 a.m. the previous night, you know how girl's nights are lol) and we couldn't see clearly anymore xD so we'll continue another time. And about the Undyne battle... I allowed myself to secretly torture her (she doesn't know how games/rpgs work that much), so I said "let's not eat the Abandoned Quiche" her: "Yeah let's not abandon it a second time!" me: *lets friend play through the Undyne battles with only 4 healing items mwahhahahahaha
then I told her that I intentionally raised the difficulty by giving her few items and not letting her equip the Temmie Armor ;') she was too satisfied after defeating Undyne to be mad at the little evil me xD (she managed to pass the battles, after everything, with 3/4 healing items left! If this isn't great haha)
I think that Flowey and Omega Flowey are amazing! But let's agree that the Omega Flowey battle is designed to make you want to rage-quit soooooo badly xD and I, not having experience with bullet hell mechanics that much, and hating purely chaotic battles, was SO MAD I wanted to simply quit it all xD but the battle itself is like a perfect theater piece, I was disturbed by the battle theme "Your Best Nightmare" but now I love it so much in a... messed-up way! I love how the chaotic attacks are made to be infuriating and close to some kind of nonsensical unpassable hell. I love how Omega Flowey looks like, I must say, shit that 10 years-old kids make when they discover Photoshop and that "graphic design is my passion", because it was meant to be like this. So I hated my Omega Flowey battle, like just according to keikaku lol but after a look from afar and then close analysis, the battle is genius! All my exclamation points are necessary because I am still simply amazed by how well this hell goes within the logic and course of the game.
I gotta say I am really surprised to hear that you played Genocide before True Pacifist o A o not that I am one of those fans who are childishly offended by something like this, but knowing you as much as I do from our conversations around here, it almost makes no sense to me how exactly you were willing to initiate the tedious Genocide run before going Pacifist xD Genocide takes effort to cause all those unpleasant events and I found no amount of actual gaming fun in it, you know, the usual fun and enjoyment you feel when playing games. There's nothing like that intended in a Genocide run, even killing enemies didn't feel satisfying... unless you are pretty much of um.. that type of person to enjoy such stuff. Oh well
I am willing to fight Sans till I get to the phase of him falling asleep. The farthest I managed to progress the battle was till no.20 out of his 24 total individual attacks. Pretty close, huh! But the tension and rush is incredible near the end and I have no items by that time... I want to get to his last attack and pass it, take a screenshot that I did it, then quit... I will never willingly let Chara do that last attack on him... He's the first boss whom I don't ever want to beat. You know I like villainous characters and would kill Vanitas infinite times because I enjoy his battles and want to beat him and see him losing consciousness like at the end of Ven's story. Pretty bizarre desire if you think about it, if I say he's my fav character and then killing him over and over - but with Sans and Undertale it's a completely different thing. I never want to lay a deadly hit on him and see him die, or not even the offscreen hints that he dies
Aside from him, I love Papyrus a whole bunch~~ he was the first monster to make me question my feelings! I wasn't necessarily fond of him and Sans at the beginning, but during Papy's date I had so many moments of "Awww you are so preciou--- wait what is this feeling in my heart. Wait wait, no, he's a skeleton! He isn't even my type! ............. is he??????????? I am confused????????" and then an INTENSE feeling of "w-w-whatNOOOO I! Y-yo!! Don't friendzone me!!! OH CMOOON". Therefore I named my Undertale fanart and screencaps folder "Papyrus is friendzoning me" because I may never completely get over it... Then there's Mettaton, the most entertaining robot lol - I still find all the Mettaton battles to be the most fun battles in all runs xD Everything about Undyne makes me love her so much, combined with feeling of respect and admiration. I also deeply love Asriel, though I understand the rationality and heart behind all his choices and admire a lot how maturely he took responsibility in the ending.
When I set things up completely, I will share the blog and dA account with you, and create the thread here as well xD I'll share my stuff gladly~~ ^^
Also, well, the first Undertale lore analysis and theories place that comes to my mind is this brilliantly clear and organized tumblr blog nochoco, it's my favourite place for lore analysis and speculations. The Underlab series on youtube also expose many things well, and I still gotta search up actual account or places dedicated to these things, instead of just fish a discussion or two from all over the internet xD
I hope everything goes smoothly in your life, and I can relate to the catching up part! Only two days of hanging out with a friend and I already have so many things to check, read, get done x w x I hope I don't forget anything ^^;;
Welcome to the Ardyn hell --- I mean fanclub! lol, on Tumblr the Ardyn fangirls can get pretty wild with their fantasies and thus you see tags and lines like "once you enter Ardyn hell you can't get out" xD
