ABOUT

A golden flower is perched at the front of a small shop in Hometown. Its stem, slightly scrunched, sits in a dusty vase, perfectly positioned so that when the sun shines on the building at noon, it bathes the flower in a cone of sunlight.A police officer, once, found this flower struggling to bloom at the base of the Shelter's doors. Wilted and grey, he felt this flower calling out to him. The officer had never held any interest in plants before then. Wild flowers simply were a thing of admiration for him. He enjoyed picking them as gifts for his wife at the end of his shift, but they'd often wilt after being toted around in his busy pocket. "Well," his wife mused sarcastically, "the flowers clearly can sense your green thumb. They can sense it from the moment they're plucked!" This time, he thought, things would be different. He would nurture this one back to health and place it proudly in his wife's hands on the eve of their anniversary.The flower, however, was not as enthusiastic as his owner. He didn't respond to the shower of fresh water he'd get every morning before work, nor was he motivated by the fresh soil placed in his planter. The officer, who'd cut his paw open the night before, fed the flower what he sorrily assumed to be its last cup of soil before heading off to work. In his desperation, he had failed to notice the cup was rife with monster blood.The Dreemurr household was filled with joy and song that evening. A laugh that could be heard doors and doors away. A smile that could power street lamps. The flower had grown three sizes. To the officer, it seemed like the flower had smiled at him. As though it had been playing a coy trick on him, right until the time where he'd needed the plant most. It was a welcome trick, as the officer's wife conceded that her husband might have a talent after all.It has been years since then. The flower, still grinning, migrates with the former officer wherever he goes. In the morning, he swears that when he speaks to the flower, it speaks back to him. At night, he swears he hears the flower whisper. He swears it asks for blood, meat, flesh, and bone. The denizens of Hometown smile and nod.

CHECK

Motivated by a fear of death, a fear of loneliness, and the opportunity to eat and grow. Will fight for the chance to eat when given the opportunity, but is extremely calculated and aware of all consequences. Fear of death trumps all else so the potential to fuck everything up is something he is very afraid of.In contrast to Asgore, he is inherently selfish. He is motivated to eat not only to satiate his hunger. He wants to be his own person. He'd claw at the chance to live seperate from Asgore.He's ultimately self-important and projects a caring persona to drive him towards what he wants. He feels that his needs are more valuable than whatever anyone else could want. He's prone to rambling about himself. He thinks his thoughts and reservations about the world are fact.He's dependent. He projects ideals onto people and latches onto them. (ie, kris is his favorite person because they do nothing to discourage his behavior. flowey will yammer about his understanding of the world and kris will listlessly nod. flowey undertstands this as kris' acknowledgement of his genius)Asgore has showered him with high praise for years. At this point it does nothing for him but feed his self-obsession. He still loves being affirmed that he is Good and Right and Perfect, but he internalizes it just about as much as he internalizes his drinking water.

i based Flowey's design off of the plot of Little Shop of Horrors, various DR theories about Asgore's Dark World, as well as this ask blog. i come back to it pretty much yearly. you should read it!(unfortunately, homestuck tends to guide the style and formatting of my posts in general. it has for years. sorry)

RELATIONSHIPS

KRIS
Flowey's friend. Has been essentially forced towards warmth towards Flowey, as Flowey is an extension of his dad. Away from sight, Flowey is regularly treated to whatever leftover scraps and junk food Kris may have on any given day.When they're together, Flowey can't help but feel like Kris' little brother. He is unsure if they return the sentiment.

SUSIE
His familiarity only extends as far as what Kris relays to him. Before they grew silent, Kris would often chat neutrally about Susie. The flower seems to light up whenever she's brought up. The way he sees it, she bullies like she's trying to take back a world which rightfully belongs to her.

TORIEL
Flowey attributes his atypical lifespan to the plant food she'd mix into his soil when he sat square in the center of the Dreemurr dinner table. He has fond memories of Toriel prancing angrily down the hallway after finding scraps of yesterday's dinner at the bottom of his planter.

ASRIEL
Kris' brother. The thought of him shoots fire down his roots. He's been waiting for just the right night to drag Asriel down to hell, all in his sleep. He's still waiting.

RUDY & NOELLE
The Holidays are well familiar with him. Rudy was often delegated to Flowey-babysitter as Asgore climbed the Dreemurr rooftop to hang up fairy lights and candy canes before Christmas dinner. He's gotten used to watching over Flowey, as time has passed.Sometimes, Rudy would be too busy, and, not wanting to disappoint Asgore, he'd instead send Noelle over with a watering can and a cup of fresh soil. She, without fail, would reflexively scrunch her nose in reluctant acknowledgement that Kris' Dinner-Eating Plant story was, in fact, not as much of a fib as they'd made it out to be.

ASGORE
His caretaker. Asgore has made a habit of making a diary out of his flower. Flowey is the last of what remains of the Dreemurr household. Asgore's love for his family is alive through him. Flowey is proof of this. Besides, why else would The Angel allow him to live 13 long, healthy years? He would happily give up his life if it meant keeping Flowey safe and alive. Flowey, confidently, does not return the sentiment.

HOMETOWN
Flowey is familiar with the residents of Hometown as far as Asgore's gossip. His disposition towards others is detached, skeptical, and rather angry, as he understands that Asgore would be less of a homebody if he were invited out more.

TENNA
The Dreemurr's television. Asgore was never shy of bringing Flowey from the dinner table to the couch as the Dreemurrs screamed at game shows together; the nightly post-dinner ritual.

HEADCANONS

The truth as far as Flowey knows:
⟢ Was born just outside the Shelter. Has no idea as to what could be inside.⟢ This Flowey exists separate from anything that happened in Undertale. (Zero understanding of resetting, Chara, Omega Flowey, etc.)⟢ No current understanding of a Dark World. The concept strikes fear in him (as does The Unknown™ in general).⟢ Understands that Asgore is definitely onto something⟢ People new to him are either not to be trusted, or may serve as a means to an end to get what he wants

FUN Facts:
⟢ Takes on Asgore's speech patterns and intonation, thereby making his accent southern.⟢ Asgore is often prone to praising Flowey among his peers. While it is typically dismissed as the regular hysteria, Kris tended to be the only one who kindled his belief. However, lately, as Kris' voice has grown silent, so has his enthusiasm.⟢ Kris often takes him on walks to the lake. They typically play Flowey's interpreter as they watch pirated movies together from their laptop. They feed him scraps from the bottom of their lunch box, and entertain Flowey's thoughts as he yammers through the duration of the film.⟢ Normally found at the front of Flower King. On occasion, you will find him in the back, lazily staring at the flowers in glass containers, or alongside Asgore as he tends to Carol's garden. He's rather judgey. Asgore is simply happy to have a friend.⟢ When not with Asgore, Flowey often people-watches. His habits include stalking Kris, stealing food and possessions, and judging others.⟢ Asgore has a drawer of bows and ribbons that he keeps for fastening bouquets together, decorating the store, and tying at the top of Flowey's stem before special occasions. He tolerates this, knowing that he is always promised a treat after the knot is undone.
