Undertale Dub
kibathekute for Flowey the Flower
Flowey ( [ˈflaʊ iː], FLOU-ee) is the first character encountered in Undertale. He provides an introduction to the mechanics of encounters, by "sharing friendliness pellets"; which are actually harmful bullets. He attempts to mislead the protagonist by urging them to take a violent approach throughout their journey in the Underground.
Flowey usually takes on the appearance of a sentient, grinning, golden flower with golden petals, a white stamen and a green stem. Although he initially maintains a friendly smile, Flowey is able to contort his face dramatically into a variety of different expressions.
Initially, Flowey operates under a facade of friendliness and politeness. He has a habit of greeting the protagonist with "Howdy!" calling himself "your best friend," and, like his father, appending polite words such as "gosh" and "golly" to the ends of his sentences. Whenever he drops this guise of friendliness, he also has a habit of calling the protagonist an "idiot." His central philosophy is that "In this world, it's kill or be killed."
As shown throughout the game, Flowey has a generally malevolent and cruel disposition, regularly berating a pacifist player for ignoring his kill-or-be-killed advice and generally talking about his desire to destroy the world. He is a cunning planner and subtle if the circumstances require it, even manipulating the protagonist into bringing him as many monster SOULs as they can find in the neutral ending. He is notably able to retain his memories between SAVEs (having once had the ability to do so himself). He also possesses a disturbing sense of humor, as shown in his boss fight, in which he turns into what is referred to as "Photoshop Flowey".
Howdy! I'm Flowey. Flowey the flower! Down here, love is shared through... Little white... "friendliness pellets"! Are you ready? Move around, get as many as you can!
[player avoids the pellets]
Hey buddy, you missed them. Let's try again, okay?
[player keeps avoiding the pellets, very irritated]
Is this a joke? Are you braindead? RUN. INTO. THE. BULLETS. I MEAN FRIENDLINESS PELLETS!
[player avoids the pellets for 3rd time, loses all sense to be friendly]
You know what's going on here, don't you? You just wanted to see me suffer! DIE.Clever. Verrrryyy clever. You think you're really smart, don't you? In this world, it's kill or be killed. So you were able to play by your own rules. You spared the life of a single person. Hee hee hee... I bet you feel really great. You didn't kill anybody this time. But what will you do if you meet an relentless killer? You'll die, and you'll die, and you'll die. Until you tire of trying.What will you do then? Will you kill out of frustration? Or will you give up entirely on this world and let ME inherit the power to control it? I am the prince [or princess, depending on your own gender]. Don't worry, my little monarch, my plan isn't regicide. This is SO much more interesting. [demonic laughter]
[After Flowey killed Asgore]
You IDIOT. You haven't learned a thing.
[the 6 sould start to surround him]
In this world...
[his (or hers again depending your gender) face starts to slowly mutate]
It's KILL or BE killed.
[demonic laughter. A bit later after Photoshop Flowey has defeated]
What? How'd you...? Well, I'll just...
*LOAD FAILED*
Wh... Where are my powers?!
[The souls appear again]
The souls...? What are they doing?
[The souls help player this time to give Photoshop one last finishing blow, the whole screen shakes]
NO!! NO!!!!! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO OBEY ME!! STOP!!! STOP IT!!!!!
