⇨ IIIT'S A CR MEME!

A WILD CR MEME APPEARS↴

Given that it's been a while since our last CR/plotting meme, this seemed well overdue!

This post is where you talk about what you are looking for in character relationships, and then respond to other people's posts to plot! You can be as long winded or as brief if you like - as long as you communicate what you are interested in doing.

New to this post is a 'Collective Objectives' section, which will be a toplevel below. This is for coordinating events or efforts that you want the input/organization of multiple characters on, making a big group log, or developing something have broader ramifications for the Carnival moving forward.

There is a form provided below for your convenience, but you don't have to fill everything out! It just needs to be enough information to give your fellow players an idea of what they have to work with.

CHARACTER NAME | (

journalname)
Canon: (What canon are they from?)
Carnival Role: (What is their job? Maybe your characters could be working together.)
Length of Stay: (Are they new, a veteran, or somewhere in between?)
Skills/Powers: (Self-explanatory; a concise summary of their powers and a link to their IC info page is probably more than enough. )
Routine: (Does your character have a regular schedule people can bump into them easily? A place they like to hang out? Are they a night owl or an early bird?)
Current status in game: (What they've been up to recently, their mental state, and any recent important events or developments.)
Any current or future plans: (This could be things that you would like to happen, or ideas that you're currently working on. Where would you like to see your character go, or are you looking for suggestions? Is there something you'd like to do at the current carnival location? Are you trying to nail some bonuses/rewards over the next month?)
IC Assistance: (Do you have any specific IC goals that your character needs help with? Does your character need help with their act? Do you need someone to fill a specific role in their life?)
Desired CR: (Are you most interested in seeking out positive or negative CR? Friends? Dates? New enemies? Be as specific as you can.)
Shipping Preferences: (Yay or nay? Is roleplaying sexual content something you are interested in? Are you interested in one sided crushes? Let us know here.)
Permissions/Opt Outs: (Please link any permissions/opt out posts, if applicable, here so other people can fill it in. You can also use this to make a note of any content/subject matter you'd prefer to opt out of yourself.)
Additional Comments: (Tagging speed? Timezone woes? Funny gifs? Anything else you'd like to address.)

FLOWEY | (

wilt)
Canon: Undertale
Carnival Role: Bouncer/Performer for children.
Length of Stay: He's going to try to stay as long as possible, no matter how much it means to update his contract. Especially getting all of his feelings back.
Skills/Powers: YIKES. He can also clip through the ground as teleportation, but it's not as convenient as Sans. He has no Omega Flowey here, nor anything like that. He has the ability to REGAIN EMOTIONS, which I'm going to copy and paste a whole lot here. It's important.
Routine: Bouncer whenever Sans or whoever's in charge tells him to. Does riddles and puppet shows for kids (and is very bad at it.)
Current status in game: Waiting to get in!
Any current or future plans: Flowey's contract is to regain his emotions one by one! He is going to try to trigger as many as he can as fast as he can, and he can do that with the help of YOUR CHARACTERS.
IC Assistance: Flowey has to REGAIN EMOTIONS by communicating with other characters and experiencing things they are, or reactions to what they are doing. This is his literal Big Plot here, so as many threads as possible leading up to finally gaining Love and the form of Asriel back is the main goal for this naughty flower.
Desired CR: ANY AND ALL KINDS, Flowey has to relearn every emotion so any kind of person is welcome.
Shipping Preferences: /tired look
Permissions/Opt Outs: Here!
Additional Comments:

This will probably go terribly lmao especially if Flowey informs him that he doesn't have feelings and emotions, which may result in 9S treating him like a thing rather than a sapient being.

Which just means they should meet, right?

Nice gif it's so mesmerising

Jokes on you, he's got antagonism and pettiness back as his first regains on contract, so if he starts treating him like a thing, Flowey will not

be nice

But yes they should meet!!

Lol that's fine and more than expected.

Contempt and disdain sound like emotions he could get from 9S if that's how things end up going.

Flowey has to relearn emotions, Cole is a literal spirit of compassion. Soooo that's an option for him to regain things like 'patience' or 'generosity' or 'a lack of boundaries.'

If not, if Cole learns about the whole relearn emotions thing, he will 100% be behind Flowey's quest to regain them. Cole's personal quest in Dragon Age was a sort of 'spirithood vs. personhood' debate so buddy, he knows ALL ABOUT those conflicting 'so I kind of don't know what I'm going to be' feelings.

That's good, because Flowey will be annoyingly chatty about it. The thing about it is though, the threads kind of have to move him in some way to unlock them. Like Cole will have to help him through a positive or negative or neutral experience.

Yeah, Cole's big thing is conflict resolution and helping people with their problems, so once things are explained, he's definitely up for "okay, how are we going to help make the flower feel happiness!" and things like that.

ALSO, he's an infomoddy fuck, so I'd appreciate it if you filled out Cole's permission post because people are understandably a bit wary of just casual mind-reading.

filled it out!

Just asking if you've played Undertale? Because if so, be as infomoddy as you like with Flowey with in-game events. No permission required.

lol hi

Alphys is from the King Mettaton ending, so her first reaction to Flowey will most likely be a lot of screaming. They're going to be best friends

best friends forever

This is going to be So Bad

I'm up for helping Flowey learn the Power Of Emotions! Yuya is like, really emotional in general and wears his heart on his sleeve so having stuff come up in interaction is easy (and he can stomach a talking flower, he's seen enough weird shit by now).

Honestly he can fit a lot of emotions in all the categories but Kindness specially, and then high spirits is like his default state although it'll be a bit of time for him to recover that after this event :Db;;.

In the interest of not making two comments Syrlya could definitely represent sacrifice and bravery really well, that's just a harder thing to crack with only a conversation. Still, it's on the table if you want to work it out! o7

Yeah, it's less learning the emotions by seeing them from a different character and more having an event with the other character where he sees them in action, and learns how important they are internally. So threads where like-- Yuya has to run an errand and Flowey goes with him and something mildly dramatic happens that they have to solve, and then it results in Flowey learning a feeling... yeah :|b

Papyrus is gonna be genuinely excited about his Flowery friend being here! (It's a pity that it's been a while, and he's not exactly sure what his name was anymore... but that's a small obstacle.)

He's from a King Papyrus timeline (with some not strictly game canon but regrettably plausible post-phone call content), and he recently, kinda, killed somebody? To save their life, in roundabout ways, but still. Plus there's this whole thing where he and Sans have been weird and not-talking about their erased-from-reality dad. Skele friend has some things going on.

So let's talk about how to decorate this trailer!! (forced smile intensifies)

oh my god frisk ruined all of your lives

Flowey has regained on start both pettiness and antagonism, to keep him his canon-ish personality along with the sobriety of being post-game, y'know, where he pops up to tell the player/Chara?? to leave everyone alone because they're all happy and living their lives now.

Even when remembering talking about the Flowey fanclub, Flowey seemed kind of... idk, not necessarily regretful but something about Papyrus. Once he regains guilt, he's going to feel especially terrible towards the Undertale cast for being the most undeserving person to be post-pacifist.

He'll let Papyrus decorate! In fact, Flowey might be hard to find most days and nights. If he's actually sleeping, he's burrowed within his mattress or flat under some blankets.

He doesn't have guilt back, but just by the post-True Pacifist ending, Flowey will probably feel something indistinguishable about how he, uh. Treated Papyrus.

yep. the lives they left alive and grieving, and the lives they abruptly ended... but that's okay! everyone will get better! and ruining lives doesn't mean they're not a friend.

freshly redecorating the trailer with just him doing the decision-making isn't quite the same... maybe he'll leave notes around the trailer, so flowey can respond w/o being in a place to talk.

yeah...
papyrus just has this special something, where nobody wants to hurt him. where they know... no matter what they do to him... he won't ever, ever blame them.
even if he should.
even if they blame themselves.
kinda uncomfortable.

this kills the flower. good.

I think he'll reciprocate if he left notes around the trailer. and since flowey is asriel and asriel is flowey, a lot of it would be childishly invested """edgy""" decorations. it's p much my headcanon (and honestly, i think, intended to be canon) that the God of Hyperdeath is Flowey/Asriel's 'vision' of what's cool and menacing.

Almost all of his threats feel like classic RPG/anime dialogue (his attack names/"that attitude will serve you well in your next life!"/"Isn't that delicious? That determination, what brought you so far... it's gonna be your downfall!" "i've only been using a fraction of my REAL power") so I feel like Asriel is a chronic daydreamer about being the supercool badass character.

expect tackiness.

augh yes i love all the things that go with that interpretation. cute art of asriel drawing his oc... flowey's request for a robot body... all kinds of things.

this is an ideal intersection of aesthetics. super sincere dramatic darkness & rainbow stars, plus the 'cool' boy stuff like flame carpets and pirate flags and action figures...

their trailer is gonna look like a couple 12 year olds had free reign to decorate however they wanted, and kept egging each other on to do more.
