#maybe he survived getting a small amount of determination which pushed alphys to go further

[autistic--cryptid]

feel the need to put this out here so

i find it interesting that the only characters in undertale that have some kind of knowledge about the timeline and the resets and stuff are characters who have also, at some point and in some way, been in possession of a human soul

there’s your chatacter, of course, and chara, who are human and thus automatically have human souls. there’s also flowey, who, before his death as asriel, absorbed chara’s human soul which effectively gave him a human soul of his own until his death. finally, there’s asgore, who recognizes how many times he’s killed you when you come back from your save point, and he’s in possession of the 6 other human souls.

the only exception to this is sans, who isn’t shown to have a human soul in any way, but still has connection to the timelines.

idk i just think it’s interesting

#also people don’t talk about how asgore recognizes how many times he’s killed you nearly enough #if we assume all of the 6 human souls have determination #or something similar #maybe that’s what does it #there’s the potential that sans worked with alphys on the determination experiments #given san’s workshop #which could possibly have something to do with the fact that he seems to have the power those in possession of a source of determination hav #maybe he survived getting a small amount of determination which pushed alphys to go further #hence why she was so eager to tell everyone and so quick to tell them the experiment failed before the subjects became the amalgamations #maybe it was the exposure to determination #if he worked on the experiment alongside alphys rather than took part it in as a subject #who knows #thats all just speculation #more headcanons than anything really #peyton says things
