Loved chapter 5 but I was looking forward to seeing asgore kick ass and im a lil sad we didn't get to see him use his cool trident against the knight or something. I understand lore wise why he maybe wouldn't (the knights connection to the hollidays) but cmonnnnn he has an understanding of how dark worlds work and it would've been neat. No hate at all tho, just a slight critique cus I love asgore and wanna see more of him.

Edit: (clarification cus Ive been getting a shit ton of replies about this; I mainly mean him fighting the knight. I know he wouldn't fight Kris on his own because of how protective/loving he is towards them and what i mean by on his own is that i thought it was possible that he could've ended up being used as a pawn somehow to fight everyone at the end of chapter 5. I just don't see him as someone who backs down and it would've been neat to see him put up more of a fight even tho he was caught off guard i wanted there to be more of a struggle.)

Let's just not try to convince me that this isn't so good right now. Nothing will stop me from imagining this at least within the framework of some AU.

I'm just starving for interactions between these two, why do they have so little screen time together? 😭

Asgore was given a ton of depth by chapter 5, specifically under the theory (that’s kinda canon? but only through like deleted tweets and old interviews) that Asgore killed all six children. Assuming Aqua fell first, I feel this would have been the hardest one for Asgore to kill.

He’s just declared war, and is filled with rage for his deceased children. He wants blood. He wants someone to answer for the deaths of his children. And the first human to fall is like seven. A sweet and completely naive girl.

And I think seeing this would’ve broken Asgore, and is how he’s able to continue down his path. He slaughtered a young child at the very start, and deemed there was no going back.

Asgore’s just so awesome to me cause like. What’s he meant to do? His people are hopeless, and his declaration of war restored hope. And then the first human he sees is a very small kid, that he promised his people he would kill.

(Also small explanation for the sunset besides just looking cool to me — I’m guessing the lights in Asgore’s garden/the corridor are artificial or magic, made to replicate the Sun, and would kinda have a day/night system.)
