Please Please Please Please Never Assume An Artist’s Work Is About Something And Then Shove Your Theory

please please please please never assume an artist’s work is about something and then shove your theory in their face in hope that they would validate your “headcanon”. there’s a fine line between interpreting an artist’s art, which is fine (it is, after all, what art is about), and making your own assumption that said art might be about something that goes with your narrative or that something must be on the artist’s mind when they made this. it’s rude at best and extremely insensitive / disrespectful at worst. especially when you never know if the art is something that’s personal to the artist, (and so by making your own assumptions that their art is about something you want it to be about, you’re invalidating their feelings / experiences / anything they might’ve held in their heart creating the art; you’re turning their emotions / experiences / possibly trauma into something that’s about you, whether or not it’s your intention).

this goes for every other artist out there. if you appreciate their work or respect them as an artist, don’t do this. even if you’re just “joking”. because trust me, your joke isn’t worth the risk of unknowingly undermining someone’s feelings / experiences / pain in the process.

please respect artists and their art and try to be more considerate.

anyone else load up the photoshop flowey fight just to feel something?

do u ever lose your mind over how, in one way or another, each element of this form ties back into who he is and why?

flowey's aim in this fight is to instill a terror in you that defies reason. he wants you horrified, out of your mind. trapped. stuck.

but above all, he wants you to feel HELPLESS.

what better way to pull that off than by using his own horrors?

flowey didn’t need to conjure up new nightmares; the ones that haunt him are more than enough.

Anyone Else Load Up The Photoshop Flowey Fight Just To Feel Something?

those grotesque human eyes glaring down at you. probably the same eyes that once looked at him, filled with hatred and fear. the cold judging eyes that saw him as nothing but a monster, something to be destroyed—erased—for something he never even did. the vines, those long, suffocating tendrils, reach out to strangle you, replicating the suffocation of being stuck in a flower. and then there’s the tv head. the literal device on which his greatest failure can be played—REPEATEDLY.

this is flowey's desperate attempt to make you experience the same helplessness he’s known for so long. he didn’t choose this. who would? flowey was made into this, by forces far beyond his control, and now he’s lashing out because there’s nothing else left for him.

the fight is brutal. it feels impossible. hopeless. he succeeds, if for a brief moment, in making you feel powerless and at his mercy.

but... with whatever little strength you have left, you call out for help—just as he once did.

six times you do this. six times, help arrives.

how is that fair?

he begged for help too, but no one answered. nobody ever came. he was left alone, his pleas sinking into an unforgiving stillness

why wasn’t he worth saving?

the fight resumes and you get help a seventh time. seven times. when he couldn’t get just one.

you're saved. you get to walk away, victorious. whereas he is left, abandoned once again, in silence.
