HOT TAKE But I Think Some Parts Of The Fandom Mistake The Reason Flowey Likes Papyrus SO MUCH And Its

HOT TAKE but I think some parts of the fandom mistake the reason Flowey likes Papyrus SO MUCH and it’s usually due to a grave misinterpretation of both characters.

Fanon: Papyrus, Most Innocent and Naive Idiot, becomes the perfect plaything in Flowey’s eyes. Thus the Sadistic Evil Weed spent countless resets trying to break the former with advanced torture.

And it’s really out of character for me because Flowey simply isn’t sadistic for the sake of being sadistic. He started killing because he was curious. He wanted to know what happens next. There is NO WAY that curious, allergic-to-routine Flowey would find the screaming of a naive idiot entertaining. There is NO WAY that he would take any prolonged interest in someone he only sees as a naive idiot.

Here are way better things to consider: 

Flowey recognizes his similarities with Papyrus. 

Flowey is intrigued by the mysteries behind Papyrus. 

Flowey gets mad when people treat Papyrus as if he knows nothing because he’s so much smarter than they think. 

Flowey is outraged that Undyne lies to Papyrus about his prospects of becoming Royal Guard. 

Flowey is in awe of how good Papyrus is at fighting.

Flowey is in awe of how Papyrus shows strength through pacifism. Flowey respects Papyrus for staring a killer in the eyes, knowing what they’re up to and feeling afraid—and believing in them regardless.

Papyrus keeps Flowey from going off the deep end by sustaining his faith in pacifism. Papyrus fills Flowey with shame by reminding him that he’s no longer that person.

You can come to Papyrus with a body count, with the dust of his family and friends on your face, and he’d still smile at you and tell you that you’re better than you think you are.

He never changes, even when everyone else does. When everyone else stare at you in shock and fear and disbelief and call you a demon, in stark contrast with how they treat you when you wear that plastic smile and try to fix all their problems, Papyrus always calls you a friend, always wants to be your friend, always treats you as a friend.

It’s the first time you don’t find something unchanging boring.

Flowey both hates himself more and loves himself more, because of Papyrus. Flowey thinks he doesn’t deserve Papyrus, but Papyrus loves him anyway.

How’s that for a change.

This is the Lord of the World of Nonsense.

And this is the Prince of the World of Nonsense.

Everything is decided, you know😄

One thing I absolutely adore about MHA is how they show the realistic body development of Izuku’s mother.

Like- it’s just not practical for her to keep her younger body while she’s single mothering Izuku, growing older, etc, etc. You can see her maturity through her body. Through her face. She looks so kind, yet so worn and wary. Whereas her younger self seemed more aloof, more spastic. More trusting.

So young.

It’s clear how much she’s grown as a person while raising Izuku, and it’s evident in her features. They did a wonderful job aging an already grown woman.

Okay. Uh... What do you want me to type in?

Well! Um. I’m not entirely sure, and as I believe I’ve said before, I don’t quite know how Tvtropes works, but, some things that I think could be added in are:

-Papyrus is actually capable of lying straight to your face (as in the x/o puzzle he claims needs to be solved to proceed, but he could actually just step over the spikes), and you might never notice.

-Some of the mysterious things about him, such as his room being the only room that has no music, and will reset the dev-room music if you enter while it’s playing; his being the only character to consistently speak without an asterisk; some of his bones being black. Oh, and his text constantly shaking just slightly, while the only other person to do that is the narrator.

-Papyrus is in fact aware of more than he lets on, and seems to be playing up his cluelessness a lot of the time, for example, when called alone near the lab he doesn’t question what it is, instead saying that Sans would love it, but when Sans is present, he acts as if he has no idea what it is.

-He brings up things that happen further on in the game, or in a different run, several times! For instance: in the first bridge-seed room, he asks why there aren’t “phones that can turn into jetpacks”, which is what your phone becomes when Alphys modifies it; he mentions Mettaton’s “eyes” in one of the elevator rooms, which Mettaton doesn’t have yet, but does have in his EX form; he says that the king will trim a hedge in the shape of his smile, which happens in the Pacifist ending; he claims that “this is the worst possible ending” in the Pacifist ending itself, because he didn’t get into the Royal Guard, which is something that happens in a neutral ending! (and also, it’s questionable how serious he’s being about that statement in itself, since his expression is quite happy there.)

-He seems completely fine with dying in the neutral run, and jokes about it - and the expression he makes while being hit is the same as when he’s on the date/hangout; even Sans drops his grin a little when he’s killed.

-Papyrus seems to be able to see where you are, at times; he says “that bag of dog food looks familiar” when called in the lab, and a phonecall in the tutu room that seems to have been removed, had him saying “Where’d you go? I can’t see you!” before trying to pass it off by saying that he couldn’t see you because you were on the phone.

………well, that became long. I hope this can be of use! ^^;

Since I’ve written so much, I think I’ll just post this one. The strange Papyrus things can never be brought up too often! :D

Okay, hear me out, I totally understand that sick and twisted DFO would totally be canon if the theory pans out. And don't get me wrong I love that, truly, it's one of his ehm many quirks.

But just, ugh, the idea that AFO genuinely loves Izuku in a not just possessive "you are part of me" but also in a "I will burn everything down just to see you smile" way.

Like big bad, supervillain who has zero moral code, kept every single baby book, toy, and article of clothing Izuku had throughout his childhood. This man has a container of baby teeth in a pretty little jar and all of his underlings think it's from one of his enemies, no it's from AFO's hero son. This man is a hoarder!!! I mean people have been building this head canon for years, but instead of hoarding jewels and pretty things, he hoards photocopies of every analysis Izuku has even written, Izuku's favorite stuffed animals and his baby blanket that are so tattered and loved that people think they're from HIS childhood.

LIKE PLEASE.

The idea that baby Izu nearly saved the world because his father almost gave up on villainy. It makes me sob!!!!

Baby Izu bringing home injured animals off the side of the street and DFO miraculously healing them to make Izuku happy. Then proceeding to do that years later when he sees an injured bird or something, because he misses his son.

Like you know how parents always talk about how they'll never see their kids as anything but their babies. That they just never truly grow up. THAT is AFO coded to me. Like he comes back from being abroad and is absolutely aghast when he finds out Izuku doesn't sleep with his stuffed rabbit anymore. He keeps the damn ugly rabbit around just in case Izuku gets a nightmare but will cut your throat out if you look at him the wrong way.

The idea that he left to protect his son is great, amazing, spectacular.

But him leaving because Izuku was making him weak kills me too. That after 200 years of stubbornly fighting for world domination and your toddler babbles about how much of a great Papa you are, and you question whether any of it is worth it.

The idea that Izuku could grow to become AFO's Jiminy Cricket, his little heart that forces him onto a straight path. Or even that AFO would throw everything away for his heroic son without hesitation.

Or that this man is so grief stricken but not just losing his brother for good but knowing that he'll never be able to go back to his family. That Izuku is his nemesis' successor, and they are sworn enemies as a result.

OR GOD FORBID, HE DIES OFFICIALLY BECAUSE HE COULD NEVER KILL HIS BABY!!
