people still think that chara was closer to asgore huh
- chara adopted toriel’s way of speaking and says “greetings” whereas asriel takes after asgore’s way of speaking and says “howdy”
- toriel took chara’s body with her when she left for the ruins and regularly maintains the flowers at the grave. comparatively asgore maintains the flowers that asriel died on.
- asriel and asgore both cry, toriel and chara do not
- if narrachara is true than chara’s fondness for puns comes from toriel. asriel’s “bad at names” quirk comes directly from asgore
chara is clearly meant to take after their mother, and asriel is clearly meant to take after asgore. basically chara and toriel are much more connected than chara and asgore and i think it’s way more likely that they were closer to her.
ESPECIALLY since asgore only mentions one kid at the end of his boss fight. “i remember the night my son died” just asriel died apparently! and “i just want to see my child” singular, and there’s no way he’d be referring to just chara there. his whole human-killing thing was done in asriel’s name after all. plus flowey says flat out that what asgore gave chara was not a proper burial, and toriel took it upon herself to rectify that by taking chara with her.
also worth noting that overall, toriel actually has compassion for human children, and asgore would rather kill them (you can’t deny that because if he would have preferred to not kill them than he wouldn’t have) so in terms of who would be closer to chara? toriel, hands down.
