Flowey And Papyrus - Tumblr Posts
me and who
okay but the fact that pretty much every time you’re near flowers papyrus will make an effort to mention flowey. he becomes your friend and immediately he wants to talk about his other, also very cool friend. he told undyne about him too. he wants everyone to know about his friend, who is real and very great and papyrus’ best friend.
and the best part is it goes both ways. you willingly interact with flowey twice and he immediately starts monologuing about papyrus. when he talks about sans, it’s not by his name or even by a nickname first, it’s papyrus’ “garbage brother.” the fact one of flowey’s go-to conversation topics is papyrus… that anytime papyrus sees flowers he just wants to talk about his friend…
A quick doodle I made! Happy late undertale 9th anniversary!
SORRY THAT I'M LATE BUT REEEEEE I LOVE THEIR FRIENDSHIP THEY ARE THE SILLIEST ON PLANET EARTH FLOWEY AND PAPYRUS BEST DUO EVER
Flowey and Papyrus.
Their relationship is…complicated.
flowey and papyrus go to the beach every single june for the entire month that is their friendship tradition i need to draw them
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.
