"spits tea out in surprise"

my, god. you sir, are a genius. the word Sociopathy was pretty much the accepted reason for charas behavior (at least for me) but I never expected someone to explain a story with the evidence with such accuracy and truth

(I did when I am planning out my fanfiction I will release, but of course, I said it nowhere while you made it known to the public to create progression.)

when chara (in frisk) meets flowey again in the genocide route, chara pretty much slaughters flowey. this is because flowey is asriel of course, and because asriel aborted the previous plan and had chara lose their influence, it is pretty obvious they would be very pissed about it. because asriel is such a good person, he obviously doesn't have the same mindset as chara, quite the opposite, and chara cannot understand that at all to find a reason to forgive him. there were 2 factors that took into play with this with the "inner triangle". 1. chara does not understand due to a lack of empathy, and 2. since the plan failed, and it was all asriels fault, she is pissed because she lost control at the height of their plan.

there is also that infamous bit, "since when were you in control?" but of course, the meaning of that is too vague to be reliable. is it a rhetorical question that breaks the 4th wall? does it relate to their lust for POWER? we will never know.

I also love the idea that chara "tried" to feel love. 2 bits of evidence can support this.

1. when asriel and chara were going to make a cake for asgore, they mistook cups of butter with actual buttercup flowers. emphasis on "mistook", which means it was actually an accident on charas part, and never had real malicious intent. however, due to their lack of empathy, they laughed it off because, well, that's what they did.

2. (assumed) chara tries their best to reassure asriel about their plan, and how it is for the greater good. Chara wanted to progress the plan while keeping asriel in a state of acceptance so his actions won't feel as remorseful. It is basically a win-win for both of them, but chara was persistent enough to not understand asriels feelings on the situation and the plan. it's just an assumption, though.

all in all, i like this theory a lot. should definitely narrow down the psychology behind chara to make fanfics and interpretations easier :D
