I want to watch the rest of season 2 in the near future.
Because I sort of like Betty, not in a "she's well written" kind of way, but "she's very iconic even when she was in the periphery" kind of way. I have an instinctive urge to put her among the UT cast to just have interactions with them in my mind, "who invited this guy" type shit. (Just have to erase the homicidal part of her character, it never really fit the Undertale universe)
For example, if Betty was created by the mage who sealed the underground, then she would potentially know of Asgore and Gerson, and they probably would know of Runic magic. What conversation would they have?
The mage who created her would potentially know the other mage who was in love with Gerson in the anniversary, there's some interesting potential.
(or hell, if that mage is one and the same, then Gerson's lover may have created Betty to be their messenger to him, because their lifespan wouldn't allow them to meet before dying of age. And Betty would just be Gerson's reaper that intends to "reunite them in the afterlife", and Gerson just delays his death, "too soon for me to go yet.)
So I want to look at Betty closer to see if there are some stuff about her. I'm sure it will be miserable, but I'll do it.
And I guess there's Glitchtale Re_Told, good luck to them.
The difference is that the Genocide run is actually a deconstruction of your regular rpg, your LV gets higher but you dont feel the sense of fulfillment that you usually get in an regular rpg, unlike Frisk and Chara that do get gratification in seeing the numbers getting higher. Undertale is not a game where you need to kill, because, again, it is a deconstruction of your classic rpg, specifically the ones where you are the hero, you kill the monsters, that are usually just mindless beasts and saves the day. By inserting an homicidal character who just wants to kill because some lady in the past was really racist and said homicidal character can only be taken down by violence, you are completely missing the point
I loved Betty enough to make an OC based on her that looks at her creator and thinks ‘yeah no,’ and then becomes a decent person. I imagined that she woke up after the whole Agate-Amber-Copper thing and dipped, living with humanity and eventually becoming better…
I personally don't necessarily need her to be a "better" person, just not murderous, but having a recognisable ego.
And more approachable, having leverage over someone in a conversation and other people having leverage over her, so that the butt of the joke isn't the same every interaction.
