I’ve had this in my drafts for DAYS (why didn’t I post it earlier?!), better late than never (and by god with a similar Undertale game/ Anti himself active, there’s no better time).
I’ve been rewatching Undertale, and Flowey talk about his time travel powers from genocide route:
We know Anti has similar time travel abilities. Some thoughts;
Maybe Chase actually is Anti- but from an alternate timeline. What about the “Jack” we see?
“Fucking circles” takes on a whole new meaning if Anti has been through the same repeated series of events “again and again! Over and OVER!”…
Can Anti reset his own timeline with the slit throat? So he can go back to his beginning after the video ends, if he chose? After all, Flowey brought himself to the “brink of death” to return to his “save point” as long as he had determination…
Was he a good and trusted friend to the other SepticEgos? Or did he kill them countless times too?
Were WE ever more accepting of Anti? Where we didn’t see him as a villain since he actually didn’t exist/ was shown to us as one?
… Was there was evera time he was genuinely happy?
If Anti has this power in common with Flowey, I think we could add that they might be more similar than we think.
Flowey wasn’t always evil, right? He was initially a kind and caring kid that lost his soul after something big and disheartening happened. And then he started killing, just to entertain himself.
What if the same thing happened to Anti? Or better said: what if Anti is the soulless version of Jack who just enjoys killing? So, like you said, he uses his power to reset time and space every time he slits someone’s throat (he still is mimicking Jack’s death) and then he does the same thing over and over again.
Infinite deaths. All reset in a few seconds.
… Holy shit Mariel. O.o
Jack (during Flowey’s dialogue talking about his powers) himself said:
“That is a weird thing to think about; if you had the power to continuously reset timelines, would you stay good forever? Or would you start not caring? Would you just give up?”
Looks like he took more inspiration than we first though- might explain a thing or two or more with Anti…..
