Other people: Chara’s role in Undertale as a pacifist is so intrinsically connected to the main theme of the game, redemption and forgiveness, that the fandoms trope of regarding them as genocidal and cruel does a great injustice to Undertale’s narrative integrity. In this essay, I will be going through every literal and symbolic detail in the game to prove that Chara’s portrayal as a demon not only mischaracterises them, but also goes against the entire point of Undertale,
Me: Uh….. chara is good because.. I like them…..

DRAWLLOWEEN 2016 – TRICK-OR-TREAT

DEVIANTART VERSION | OCTOBER 26 (WEDNESDAY)

*** MAJOR UNDERTALE SPOILERS ***

Surprisingly, when I warned I was posting Undertale spoilers, this time I didn’t choose to focus on my favorite character from the game!

So for this Drawlloween image I went with the theme Trick-or-Treat, and focused mainly on Chara. Regardless of one’s opinion on the character, I think we can all agree that they fit the more intense vibes of the Halloween atmosphere. I actually really like Chara myself, and they’re in my general top favorite characters from the game. (Although none of my general top favorites even remotely come close to my actual favorite in how much I like them.) I think Chara’s completely opposite nature from Frisk is utterly fascinating, and they’re arguably one of the most interpretational characters of the story, making it really interesting to see what various people have to say about the character, you know? (I’d also say W. D. Gaster is another huge enigma though / great content for theoretical shenanigans as well. I was considering drawing Gaster given that the formal royal scientist has some wonderfully creepy vibes going on as well but, when it comes down to it I just personally like Chara more. *shrugs*) But basically, Chara is the “trick” of this theme, with Frisk being the “treat.” Since Chara’s actually the focal character, you could also flip that idea with the “treat” part also applying to them given their fairly docile nature in Pacifist route / flavor text-narrator theory shenanigans, and the “trick” being the fact that Frisk isn’t just Frisk.
