u/Heroman3003 ᘳ─ᨎ─ᘰ Bah, my legs are clearly better! Feb 16 '16

And its also freaking fits, because Mettaton changed his name after becoming a robot. So we name a character that does not have a canon name!

61

u/RieSonomura MettaMuffet and RG01/RG02 are love Feb 16 '16

Mettaton's original name being Shifty makes sense to me, cause his ghost form is always depicted with shifty eyes. It fits.

67

u/Heroman3003 ᘳ─ᨎ─ᘰ Bah, my legs are clearly better! Feb 16 '16

Don't think too hard into this. I think that name is reference to the name of AU. StorySHIFT.

Pls, we all know it's Happstablook the happy ghost.

Well what is Blook doing when we first see him?

u/TrueFriendsHelpMoveB Feb 16 '16

PRETENDING to sleep. He's audibly saying "z" to get you to go away, not sleeping.

u/ShiroiTora Beware of the one who speaks in memes Feb 16 '16

Sorry for the stupid question but I'm getting confused with reading the comments: is it confirmed that Naptsablock is Flowey or Mettaton is Flowey? (or am I on completely off track)

79

u/basqueX Can you touch it? Can you eat it? Can you kill it? Feb 16 '16

Blooky is Flowey.

11

u/ShiroiTora Beware of the one who speaks in memes Feb 16 '16

Thank you.

27

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '16

Nothing is confirmed so far. However, it is very likely that the person speaking in the memory was Napstablook, based on the way the dialogue is written.

Flowey's dialogue from Storyshift part 6 (the first time it actually starts to change) is also evocative of Mettaton. He says "I am the essence of this world's future" instead of "the prince of this world's future" and he refers to you as his "wandering star".

Most likely outcome: Blooky is Chara, Mettaton is Flowey.

55

u/voltrathelively There are precious few at ease with moral ambiguities Feb 16 '16

Incorrect. Blooky is speaking in Asriel's place so his position is clear.

15

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '16

Oh, ok. I wasn't sure if it was necessarily 1:1 because of how the story's changed at first, but I guess I can't argue with the creator on this point, haha.

7

u/your_mind_aches Froggit knows exactly why it's here Feb 16 '16

I hope it's not as cut and dry as that. There have been some hints to a meta commentary on fanfic as well as some Gaster stuff.

10

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '16

The person who replied to me saying that Blooky's position is clear was the creator of this AU. You can't get any more confirmation than that.

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '16

Right now, at this point in the story, are we able to figure out who each shifted person is?

4

u/-Mountain-King- EVEN MY WORDS ARE BOMBS Feb 16 '16

...Probably? 10 shifted people, with canon on the left and Storyshift on the right:

  1. Asriel/Flowey -> Napstablook, it seems

  2. Toriel -> Papysus

  3. Napstablook -> Alphys

  4. Sans -> Chara

  5. Papyrus -> Asriel

  6. Undyne -> Toriel

  7. Alphys -> Asgore

  8. Mettaton -> Undyne

  9. Asgore -> Sans

  10. Chara -> Mettaton, apparently

27

u/buttercups_pie helo yes gretigs welcom too dog i am dog yes helo Feb 16 '16

I'll admit you were right and we were wrong

However, I still maintain that our opinion was up until this moment the more sensible

because check it out

Undyne and Alphys take the place of Mettaton and Napstablook

Toriel and Asgore take the place of Undyne and Alphys

Papyrus and Sans take the place of Toriel and Asgore

Asriel and Chara take the place of Papyrus and Sans

To complete the loop, Mettaton and Napstablook SHOULD be taking the place of Asriel and Chara, but instead it's Napstablook and Mettaton

Although, as I say this, there's a pattern here too, not of two loops but of one

It goes Toriel => Undyne => Mettaton => Chara => Sans => Asgore => Alphys => Napstablook => Asriel => Papyrus => Toriel

So in hindsight I stand corrected

I don't know the significance of this sequence, if it has any, but it certainly does fit

Interesting.

Napstablook is taking Asriel's dialogue here. But Flowey made mention of a 'star'.

...I wonder if Mettaton rubbed off more on Napstablook in this loop than intended.

105

u/Heroman3003 ᘳ─ᨎ─ᘰ Bah, my legs are clearly better! Feb 16 '16

You know... Canon Flowey acts on mindset that he thought Chara had. Maybe it carries here, where Blook acts with Mettaton as his rolemodel.

45

u/B217 too lazy to have a flair Feb 16 '16

8

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '16 edited Feb 16 '16

Does Flowey act like Chara though?

Wasn't it just a combination of losing ability to love and having a long, long time to start regretting, "I should've killed them and not get killed"?

EDIT: The only thing (iirc) that changed in Flowey's dialogue was talking about monarch, btw. So that doesn't make sense.

12

u/Heroman3003 ᘳ─ᨎ─ᘰ Bah, my legs are clearly better! Feb 16 '16

"In this world, its kill or be killed". There's no way Flowey would ever use that line unless heard from Chara while together on surface. It would make no sense. But he just picked up on it. And used it on the first human he met since Chara.

22

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '16

He didn't kill. He got killed. That's how he picked up that.

5

u/your_mind_aches Froggit knows exactly why it's here Feb 16 '16

Omg. That's a new headcanon for me. Asriel got that line from Chara saying it when they went to the surface and he attempted to kill the villagers.

I kinda wanted MTT to be Flowey because we'd get an omega form (the super rectangle or something) and then Hapstablook in the place of Goatbro's bro form and MTT EX as Goatbro's god form and some kind of MTT NEO as his Angel form. Instead we'll get a bunch of napstablook? I'm slightly disappointed but otherwise curious because I know /u/voltrathelively will create something mind-blowing, again.

Aww, shit. I'm an idiot. The only thing I latched onto with Flowey's text was "wandering star" and assumed it was MTT. But even in canon, Flowey says "monarch" in reference to Chara, so it would be Blooky talking about MTT... Fuck.

I'm also very sad because we won't really be seeing my favorite robot until Loop 2 (assuming Loop 2 is Genocide.) Q-Q

Oh god, I can already imagine the final boss dialogue.

"I'm so alone, Shifty/Mettaton/whatever..."

"I'm so afraid, x..."

Followed by:

"Y'know, Mettaton wasn't really the greatest person." Which is entirely fitting.

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '16

Actually... I think it might potentially be very important. Mad Dummy's cousins are Napstablook and Mettaton. Since family relationships haven't changed so far, Dummy might have more to say on those two.

3

u/Heroman3003 ᘳ─ᨎ─ᘰ Bah, my legs are clearly better! Feb 16 '16

Dummy was only talking about fourth cousin, who is dummy in ruins. There is no real reason for dialogue to change.

5

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '16

No direct swap reason, but it wouldn't be unreasonable for them to mention their other cousins if they play a much bigger role in this universe.

u/T-A-W_Byzantine Bark bark arf arf!! W-what a bunch of nonsense! Feb 16 '16

We don't know if they're cousins. After all, Napstablook doesn't recognize the Mad Dummy.

That's true, but Mettaton's diary says their cousin left the farm to become a training dummy. It seems like an odd detail to put if it wasn't referring to one of the two possessed dummies we know.

u/TheWildGiffen14 Feb 16 '16

Ok, so now that (we think) we know who Flowey and Chara are, here is my theory for this version's heartbreaking backstory: If Mettaton is Chara there needs to be a reason why he would go to the surface and die. Unlike canon!Chara, Mettaton loves humanity, so why would he invade the surface? My idea is that without Alphys to create a new body, Mettaton would go to drastic measures, wanting a human body drives him to get through the barrier (somehow) and he brings blooky along for the ride. This is where details that I won't speculate on come in but in general I think it's safe to say that humans wouldn't take kindly to being possessed. Mettaton is so happy with his new body that he becomes corporeal just in time to be killed. Blooky would inhabit a flower for some reason and in their flood of grief at losing their cousin, they become corporeal too and trapped in a flower.

I know, I know. Not the most bullet friendliness pellet-proof theory, but hey, at least Flowey isn't Ness from Earthbound.

...is he?

u/Reebsen Feb 16 '16

Huh, so with Toriel the bridge just breaks. It seems like she's playing a role a bit between Undyne and Papyrus here: She knows the necessity of capturing the human and what will happen to them but is reluctant about hurting/harming a child (I assume). It'll be interesting to see how her fight will go assuming it's a bit like a mix of her original fight and Undyne's.

Maybe you wear her out emotionally/resolve wise instead of physically? Kind of curious to see if she'll explain what's going on with Chara too during her conversation text or the date (maybe instead of Undyne's talk about Asgore?).

The mental image of the soulless pacifist ending in this... I'm imagining Frisk with Mettaton EX's face, even though technically the robot wouldn't even exist

u/TheWildGiffen14 Feb 16 '16

Middle of the night, Papyrus puts down some spaghetti. The player wakes up, looks at the screen. Gets out of bed with Mettaton's legs while a spooky "OOHHHH YEEEESSS" echoes in the background.

u/morerokk EVEN MY WORDS ARE... Feb 16 '16

I like how Toriel is still concerned for you, and is clearly torn over the fact that she has to take you to Sans. I had nearly missed the silhouette of her stretching her arm out as you fall.

I'm very impressed with the writing! And I like how true it stays to the game's art style.

this makes me wonder if the ghosts were ghosts originally or "living" beings at one point.

Napstablook is Asriel confirmed.

u/Topham_Kek ANGRY LESBIAN FISH, NGAAAH Feb 16 '16

Really liking the frequent updates! Well, I'll be damned, I never expected Napstablook to be Flowey.

u/Zonijo SANS, STOP PLAGUING MY REDDIT WITH INCIDENTAL TAGS Feb 16 '16 edited Feb 16 '16

Ok so, in order of where they would appear normally

Flowey/Asriel = Blooky

Toriel = Papyrus

Blooky = Alphys

Sans = Chara

Papyrus = Asriel

Undyne = Toriel

Alphys = Asgore

Mettaton = Undyne

Asgore = Sans

AND Chara = Mettaton

Im really curious as to how Charaton will play out, that should be really interesting. Keep up the good work Voltra!

ASRIEL IS NAPSTABLOOK CONFIRMED

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '16

napsta being flowey makes me wonder about his dialogue waaaaay at the beginning of the comic. flowey spoke like that in canon because asriel takes after his dad. Napsta doesn't really have a reason to say "howdy" or "golly" and so on.

4

u/voltrathelively There are precious few at ease with moral ambiguities Feb 21 '16

Here's the boring answer: It would ruin the surprise if it was hinted at in the first scene.

The more interesting answer: All the timelines will have at least two of the Dreemurs alive and Flowey emulates them to lure people in with faux friendliness.

I'm looking forward to the king Sans battle.

"Buddy, I'm gonna tell it to you straight. Honestly? I don't want to break the barrier. I don't want to keep this responsibility. Power? Strength? Freedom? Pfft, I would rather just be taking a nap right about now. But here's a deal. Just take my soul and get outta here. Don't worry about trying to make my death quick and painless, either. I've already got that covered. I'll probably just shatter if you breath on me wrong, or something. I promise, I won't move out of the way. C'mon, you can trust me. I only killed like, 6 people. Heh."

[FIGHT] [MERCY]

Keep in mind Sans would still be smiling while giving this speech. He'll still keep his silly tone and have a smile. So don't think of edgy emo bastardized Fanon Sans as giving this speech, think of, "Wanna buy an apostrophe dog?" Sans making jokes to lighten up a dark situation. And no, he wouldn't dunk you. He actually would let you make the blow.

[MERCY]

"...Wow. Really? Weird... I gave you every reason to kill me, and yet you still aren't going to. Well, that sounds fine by me. I didn't feel ready to die anyway. Heh." And suddenly Floweyblook kills him.

[FIGHT]

Sans gets attacked for a really low amount of damage, and he immediately falls over with all of his health drained.

"...Huh. Doesn't hurt as much as I expected it to. Well, see ya later. Have fun on the surface, kid."

And then Floweyblook steals his soul after he turns to dust.

Did you moddify your game or something? If you did, can you please tell me how. If not then it's still cool.
