User:CaveJohnson/Blog:Mettaton isn't Transgender, he's really-

Mettaton isn't Transgender...

he's really a Transrace.

Allow me to explain.

This blogpost is going to be based on some...touchy subjects.

No offense is meant to anyone.

Transgender, you all probably know the meaning of that.

someone who doesn't identify as the gender they were born with.

some even believe they were born in the wrong body.

But what about Transrace?

Like say a Cacausian American who believes they're an African American?

It's happened!

It HAS in fact happened!

It's kind of a parallel to Transgender, it's...basically the same scenario.

True it hasn't been a MAJOR thing, it's not well known, but it IS in fact a thing.

now going along with the 'They're born in the wrong body' scenario.

With this in mind, the Undertale universe would probably have them have the 'soul' of the right body, whether they're Transgender or Transrace.

Still with me?

Now first off, here's the thing about Mettaton being TransGENDER.

Every ghost we see in the game is listed as 'They' and assuming Ghosts aren't ACTUALLY spirits. (And given the only souls of humans in the game are with Asgore, and all monsters in the game's souls disappear I think it's safe to say this is the case.) Ghosts in Undertale have no ACTUAL organs, they should just be allowed to go by what they want to, without anyone saying otherwise right?

But why do I believe he's TransRace?

Well, I'll get to that in a moment.

but first, let's talk about what he's a Trans of.

What does he believe he is?

A skeleton? a Boss Monster? a....whatever Undyne and Alphys are?

No.

What Mettaton truly is inside...

is a human.

bare with me now, there's evidence to come.

first off, Mettaton's soul.

Mettaton has a heart on his chest heavily theorized to be his soul.

Evidence for this being he cringes when it takes damage.

here's the thing about this soul however...

It's right side up.

except for a Monster Soul...

this is actually upside down.

Like a human's soul.

Not ONLY that, but his soul is COLORED, unlike the soul of any Monster.

Monster Souls are all shown as white, whereas Mettaton's is shown as pink.

So on the inside...Mettaton is a human.

but he was BORN a ghost, still with me here?

You might be saying:

"Anymore evidence? cause that's all substantial right?"

The Genocide run.

Mettaton Neo lingers for an extended period of time after being attacked,

no other monster does this, besides the other bosses.

Which can be either explained via Undyne's determination, being a Boss Monster, or for Papyrus and Sans, my previous theory actually explains that.

This WOULD make sense however, if Mettaton had the soul of a human, humans being implied to linger on after death.

and it goes DEEPER than that.

Mettaton's body is very interestingly...human, wouldn't you say?

This body he requested specifically.

sure, it looks a bit like an anime guy, so maybe Alphys did that.

But this body was requested by METTATON.

who knows NOTHING of anime as far as we are shown.

This body was HIS idea.

he WANTED to look human.

he made SURE he looked human.

Another thing:

Mettaton's regular body is invincible, but his human form isn't.

why wouldn't it be?

Maybe because he wanted it to be as human as possible?

including the fleshy parts?

Think back to the Mettaton Neo fight.

Why would he become Mettaton Neo when his regular form is invinciblel??

Maybe he was afraid you'd find a way to defeat him..

and wanted to go out in his true form.

he wanted to go down, as himself.

You want even more evidence?

When Mettaton tried to kill you, it wasn't for the sake of the other monsters.

he was going to steal your soul, and go to the human world all by himself.

He didn't want to destroy humanity, he wanted to JOIN IT.

So what do you guys think?

Do you believe Mettaton is a Transhuman?
