"Which can mean another thing. In this case, the bullet pattern uses green bullets!"

That's healing magic. Why would you send medicine through a post card? They haven't said anything specific, so I assumed it was white magic.

"Now, if he wanted to seriously tell that message, to us, in the real world, where monsters don't exist, how should he describe what we should do on the Surface?"

Be careful, there's a lot of Floweys out here.

"The intro presents the monsters as the enemy of the humans"

Or the other way around. There's no way of telling.

"Take for instant Napstablook:WE tried to force them out of the way, and they attacked us out of retaliation. A FIGHT also happens when one of Undyne's spears hit us, or one of Alphys' lasers"

Well? So Napstablook was an exception. And spears and lasers aren't alive.

"You can't be damaged on the overworld by magic"

I'd say otherwise, since Undyne managed to break the bridge using spears. Unless you're insisting the the bridge has an HUD too.

"Once again, you can't just barricade them without blocking out the monsters too."

Then tell them to go away before closing off the road.

"because we KNOW that puzzles were designed with stopping humans in mind."

Well, they aren't really effective, are they?

"You should NEVER use offensive magic on someone if you don't intend to hurt that same person."

As I said, it may not have been an offensive magic to them. I don't think there is any "offensive" magic. It's simply that a regular monster magic (through which they express themselves) doesn't harm them.

"Giving us chloroplasts would be better for us too. Then we would also be able to photosynthesize, alongside everything else we can do."

So... evolution, you're saying. The HUD evolved. Describe every detail of the process please.

"Also, the SOUL being moved to the battle rectangle is probably something the MONSTERS do."

It happens every time, and only after we execute an action. I think it's automated.

"The very fact that the Amalgamates can talk at the same time means it's possible. And since it's possible, that can't be a rule."

It's most likely an exception, because of the nature of the amalgamates.

"From the war. Where there were MANY fights all happening at once, all using the HUD system."

The monsters were too preoccupied trying to stay alive during what could be hardly called a war. It seems to me as if they never actually realized the humans were cheating.

"Hearts can't hold anything physically."

But bodies can. What's wrong with that? Have monsters developed an immunity for physical attacks or something?

"They can't see the buttons, so perhaps the SOULs being within the buttons makes THAT invisible to the monsters as well."

Then force it back. You said they can do that.

"So magic can't harm our physical body, merely our SOUL."

So we've found a plot hole. Excellent. And I don't know why you think the bridge was made out of magic or something. There could be a solid cliff below it, we just can't see it. Maybe the bridge wasn't there to bridge anything, but rather to make walking over an extremely uneven terrain a bit easier.

"That's still the SOUL."

But outside the designated area. (area/arena, eh, same thing)

"Eletromagnetism, Schrodinger's equation, and the law of gravity!"

You're just listing random things here. Explain how are they artificial or whatever.

"Why else would we remind, say, Asgore, of Chara?"

Hope in our eyes. Although I don't quite see how that makes sense.

"No, his form came from the fact that he still has some SOUL magic left"

All the magic of the souls was used on the barrier. There was nothing left.

"That's Asriel's."

Then we're Asriel. Which we can't be, because our soul is Frisk's soul. Plot hole.

"Also, once again, we're all taught fire safety, but what are the odds of actually being in a building when it is caught on fire?"

Well, again, it doesn't look to me like the monsters are very prepared, since they're not dodging the attacks, nor running away. So much for fire safety.

"Why would they tell you that story."

Plot device. Or maybe, Asgore sent them to tell you. Since you deserve to know at least that much.

...

I'm assuming the rest isn't for me, since you've added in that nice horizontal bar.
