If you meant "Meta" as in the slang, then I'm curious why you didn't mention Flowey or sans. They talk to us directly through our flavor screens. Do they need to be explained, too?

Perhaps using words that have definitions that can be understood in a non-abstract way would have kept me from wasting your time. A few come to mind: meta-reference, metafiction, metacinematic...

Meta on its own is a prefix. I'm unfamiliar with most American slang.
