yahhss, the one child with frying pan in hotland? fell from fatigue from the heat and (possibly) fell into the lava. i mean, i see asgore as the embodiment of cowardice, he did what he thought was right but was too scared to do what would actually help. i get that he didnt want to kill children/humans but leading everyone on with this false hope, how long did he think that would last?
YES. I don’t think he could’ve gone through killing all 6 of them himself. He’s too gentle for it. I mean look at how much he tries to delay fighting with Frisk? He was much more willing to at first, when his children’s deaths and the grief was still fresh, but he’d quickly see the error of his ways. But it was too late to turn back. So he asked the guards to look out for humans and kill them (but of course Papyrus was just told to capture them because Papyrus).
What if asgore is the one who started poisoning chara?
