Is Asriel The Best? wrote: Falconfly wrote: I mean, he didn't even consider suicide, if he was that aware of how fleeting his "goodness" could be. I think he sees death as too satisfactory an ending for him. He doesn't commit suicide because he feels he deserves the punishment of being a soulless jerk for the rest of his life, rather than getting a somewhat better ending. Like you said, if he didn't think this, suicide would have been a much safer option as far as hurting the ones he loves goes. I'd thought about this before, I just forgot to mention it in the article. Adding it now.

Asriel/Flowey DID kill himself, though. It was rendered moot because of the levels of Determination he had and his ability to SAVE at that point. Not so much satisfactory as it is pointless.
