Like there’s very clearly a point where he should’ve just given up on sans and papyrus being the answer and done literally anything else to achieve the same goal…what he did to papy and sans wasn’t even useful in the slightest to getting monsters out of the underground 😭😭
an underrated part of this moment between the dress lion and mettaton is that he recognized her by voice alone and remembered her dream. he really does love all his fans.
yessss more discussion of mettaton being stealth please. it adds such dimension to his character. he is NOT openly transgender and infact sacrificed a lot to have it that way. that’s not an easy position to be in at all.
