I tried to google if this theory existed, albeit briefly. Its not.

 

Basically an extension theory to the chara is the narrator theory

a lil bit of this mixed with a little bit of
this however this vid is annoying a bit because of adhd, and high volume bleeping and stuff

 

But a strong evidence for chara being the narrator is when the ghosts show evidence of awareness of narration as if it were speech. Napstablook heres him saying he has no sense of humor, and mad dummy says their buddy left their dummy because you noted 'doesn't seem much for conversation'.

 

But Papyrus doesn't have an asterisk in the text. Which means he might actually be speaking in english, and thats why you have a bad case of 'silent protagonist'

 

Because you do not speak ze monster language probably, which is why when at the end of true pacifist Papyrus offers to be the ambassador when you turn it down when Asgore asks you, well, unless Papyrus knows he can convince people like with Undyne challenging her to get you to be friends. But they didn't ask anyone else, not one.

 

And the only other person though with flavored text is Sans, but his has an asterisk, which means perhaps he has an accent or such. They did just 'show up' one day and 'asserted themselves' the game says, I think it was a shop-keeper, the one at snowdin.

 

Any ideas or thoughts? This isn't undoubtedly proven, but it'd explain the asterisks in use all the time during fight dialogue and such.

 

It also explains why all of that vanishes when you face Ultimate Flowey, because there is Constant dodging, no back n forth sorta stand-still stand-off sorta fighting. Which is also why Sans dodges in a realistic manner, not just standing there bracing for impact like a stooge. Sans also implies the monsters just kinda stay still and get hit. Its not that he is strong, its that the other monsters are sort of off.

 

Thats why there is a snow-kiwi-bird that you can get on your head when you slide through some forest after a puzzle before snowdin. Kiwis went extinct, sorta like monsters, because they had no natural predators, then predators got introduced to them and they couldn't defend themselves. Asriel says in the true ending also that there are alot of flowey's out there. How Flowey described himself was a 'relentless killer'. This means like actual combat, not periodic attacks with alot of hesitation going on, real martial artists don't hesitate, because for example in SC2 all the pro streamers say stuff like under committing, hesitation overcommitting now and then.

 

Like, if you commit to an attack you gotta do it asap or a moment later and they could have the better upgrade or units or posture. If you hesitate it gives the opponent an advantage equal to how long you hesitate. If you invest into a plan it gets carried out, or its an opportunity cost loss.

 

And its like the difference between an mma fighter and a regular person. MMA fighters take advantage of your lack of activity in the moment of conflict, your hesitation and fear to commit to a decision. They just would approach and attack repeatedly til they win, and often times do overkill, still hitting people in a fight who are getting knocked out til the referee calls the match, just in case they get back up and cause them to lose when they least expect it.

 

Thoughts?
