Chara’s Laughter - An Analysis of Chara and Toriel

What? Oh, yeah, I remember. When we tried to make butterscotch pie for Dad, right? The recipe asked for cups of butter… But we accidentally put in buttercups instead. Yeah! Those flowers got him really sick. I felt so bad. We made Mom really upset. I should have laughed it off, like you did… Um, anyway, where are you going with this? Huh? Turn off the camera…? OK.

This dialogue is from the third of the True Lab tapes in Undertale, spoken by Asriel. It recounts something popularly referred to as ‘the buttercup incident’, where when trying to bake a butterscotch pie for Asgore, Chara and Asriel accidentally poisoned the king by putting in ‘buttercups’ rather than ‘cups of butter’. Later on, Chara uses knowledge gained from this incident to kill themself, so their soul can be used to break the Barrier… but that isn’t the main point of this piece of character analysis. 

The thing I’d like to bring to your attention is Chara’s initial reaction to accidentally poisoning their adoptive father– they ‘laughed it off’, according to Asriel. 

Chara is an extremely ambiguous character in Undertale, with many members of the fandom having sharply divided opinions of them. Likewise, the opinions on this hint of their character is similarly divided. Some think the laughter was metaphorical and that Chara simply didn’t take it as seriously as Asriel did, others go so far as to say Chara purposefully tried to murder their adoptive father. 

It has also been hypothesized that, rather than gleeful giggling of a demonic child, this is just hysterical laughter, and that hysterical laughter is how Chara, specifically, responds to distress. If you subscribe to the Narra-Chara theory, which appears heavily supported, then there’s another instance of the game where a distressed Chara seems to be laughing. 

When in a fight with the Amalgamate that was once Snowdrake’s Mother, one of the Actions Frisk can take is to tell a joke. If they do so, you get the following bit of narration– 

You laugh, and keep laughing. It’s SO funny, you can’t stop. Tears run down your face. 

… what? You didn’t do that?

If the narrator of the game is indeed Chara, there are certain points of the game where they say ‘you’ are doing something, only to take that back and say you didn’t. One possible interpretation is that this is something the narrator–CHARA– does themself, and assumes Frisk must also be doing too, only to realize Frisk is reacting differently, backing up the idea that Frisk and the narrator are two separate entities. That all said, while this character analysis assumes the Narra-Chara theory is canon for this specific narration, the Narra-Chara theory is not the focus of this post. 

Rather, the focus is the similarities between Chara and their adoptive mother, Toriel Dreemurr. 

Some similarities between Chara’s brother and Toriel’s son, Asriel Dreemurr, have been pointed out between him and his father, Asgore. Both greet you with ‘howdy’, both are very openly emotional(Asriel is called ‘crybaby’ by Chara, Asgore’s openly seen weeping several times on the True Pacifist run}, both have a strong connection to golden flowers, are poor namers, and attempt to kill Frisk at the end of all runs barring No Mercy. But the parallels between Chara and Toriel are strong as well, although much subtler. 

Returning to the Narra-Chara theory, it is noted by many that Toriel has a very strong love of puns, exchanging them through the Ruins door with fellow noted punster Sans the skeleton– but although Sans and Toriel are the most well-known pun lovers of Undertale, they are not the most prolific ones. No, that honor belongs to Chara and Papyrus. Chara being the narrator means they have the most lines in the game, granting them opportunity to be the character with the most puns. 

Among other things, they refer to Toriel’s chair as ‘Chairiel’, insist that a snowball is actually a ‘Snowdecahedron’, claims Lesser Dog wields a stone dagger made of ‘Pomer-granite’, and says ‘Pomeraisins’ are all over the floor of Lesser Dog’s station. 

This love of puns is a marked similarity between Toriel and Chara, but there’s another interesting one that I’ve never seen mentioned before. 

They both laugh when horribly distressed. 

It’s a popular fandom misconception that Toriel is very emotional. Often in fanart of her battle with Frisk, or of her being killed on a No Mercy Run, Toriel is crying tears of sorrow and desperation, at either the prospect of losing yet another child or at being betrayed by a human she’d thought innocent. This is not the case. Her sprite, for the most part, remains stoic, with an expression appearing almost cold for the majority of the battle. In contrast, Asgore doesn’t cry either in his fight, but unlike Toriel chooses to hide his face by looking down, and then openly weeps afterwards, and is noted by his subjects to be ‘a big fuzzy pushover’ and ‘a marshmallow’, further backing up the idea he’s much softer and more emotional than his ex-wife. 

Throughout the battle with her, narration says Toriel is acting aloof. But what’s interesting to note, is that Toriel DOES get emotional when killed in a No Mercy Run, or when betrayal killed… just not in as conventional or comfortable way. 

Here is what she says when you attack her, after you’ve convinced her to stop attacking you: 

You… … at my most vulnerable moment… To think I was worried you wouldn’t fit out in there… Eheheheh!!! You really are no different than them! Ha… Ha… 

She says all this with a rather unsettling smile. 

Some people use Chara’s laughter after poisoning Asgore as evidence that Chara is a deeply disturbed child, who went on to possibly coerce or force Frisk into killing monsters. But like Chara, Toriel also laughs in a situation that doesn’t call for it– does this also make Toriel a horrible disturbed mass murderer? She certainly isn’t opposed to the idea of murder when it’s necessary, and is as likely as Asgore to have lived through a war, but seems strongly against gratuitous murder as well as the murder of innocents and children. 

Do not “Tori” me, Dreemurr. You pathetic whelp. If you really wanted to free our kind… You could have gone through the barrier after you got ONE SOUL… Taken SIX SOULS from the humans, then free us all… instead just waiting here, meekly waiting for another human to come.

While Asriel takes after his father, and though Chara may not have been born a Dreemurr, Chara appears to strongly take after their adoptive mother Toriel in many more subtle ways. Chara and Toriel are both deeply interesting characters who are too often flanderized, be it into ‘murder demon’, ‘scapegoat’, ‘perfect mother’ or ‘dirty coward’, but looking deeper into canon grants a more nuanced look into both of them. 

can you perhaps draw wilson eating a whole hydroflask (optional but it’d be beautiful if the hydroflask had stickers on it)

I have no idea if this is what you meant

saw the opportunity to rant about my favorite characters and went for it. you would not believe just how long i obsessed over wilson from don’t starve. i mean sure the big big hyperfixation part where i kept drawing him and telling my friends about him was majorly just throughout middle school and it died out a lot after that, but oh my gosh i still love that goober so much. i think i just have a thing for tall lanky characters who either act goofy or funny without hiding it, or who try their best to act oh so professional and wise but are a goofball at heart. i mean you see wilson just doing his best to make a new invention in the original cutscene / opening animation for ds, but i mean you can’t say he isn’t a stubborn goober, just look at him. and the outfit. oh my gosh the outfit. i love his waistcoat so much and i mean his hair too, everything just ties in together and in conclusion he is a wonderful little goofball that lived rent-free in my brain for years and still does. but now i’ve def moved onto focusing on a lot of other funny characters from other indie games but that gentleman scientist holds a special place in my brain / heart.

originally was going to end this at the wilson ted-talk but nah im gonna talk more since this to me also feels like a really fun writing exercise, i hope you don’t mind.

not sure which blorbo came after wilson, but i’m sure whoever it was had also come from an indie game roguelike. pretty sure it was bobby / the prisoner from dead cells. i mean, especially with how fast paced that game can be, i love the little moments where you can talk to npcs and listen to basically bobby’s thoughts. and i love the concept of him just being like this. sentient and pretty much immortal lump of what looks like guts that can always possess bodies for his own. and that detail of him specifically preferring headless bodies is just so neat for some reason since i mean with the concept of him being immortal and all that, you kinda wouldn’t think he’d have interests and that he’d just be focused on his goal. but i think i also just mainly really love like how he’s drawn / depicted in all of the dlc trailers, like he’s so much more clumsy.

was gonna go even further but im gonna stop here. before i send this i just wanted to leave a few more notable blorbos of mine. well i mean wilson and bobby are kinda just the main ones but there’s also stanley and the narrator from the stanley parable, spamton kinda fits into the list, and the most recent one is the pilot from the indie roguelike enter the gungeon.

hell yeah this is what i'm talking about thank you for your time i'm so happy you love that character so much to write so much about them. whenever you feel the need to do anything like this again please do, i loved reading through this and i wish i had the patience to write that much about postal dude...

og meme under the cut kajsdh

gave myself the weird challenge of trying to see if i could type out the entirety of the mind electric by miracle musical from memory, it’s under the cut if you’d like to see how well i did.

key for stuff you’ll see throughout the song / post:

(??) means i wrote something i am unsure of if it’s correct from memory

(bolded words in parentheses) is the correct replacement for what i wrote

italic means i am marking what i got wrong, and the bolded parentheses that follow are the correct lyrics i should’ve written

{this only appears once} but just acts as what is sung in the background, only added it in for that one part just for fun i guess

“quotations” aren’t corrections or pointing out what’s wrong, just marks things in the song that could be seen as statements, mainly did it for fun.

[this also only appears once] but marks a line that i wrote from memory which should be entirely omitted / ignored as it is not in the actual song.

-

think of these thoughts as limitless lights (light)

exposing growing (closing) circuitry of fright

think of each thought that’s (??) (moment) holding this breath

as death minute in decimal

resident minor, how do you plead?

we’ll need your testimony on the stand.

solemnly swear to tell the (whole) truth,

so help you son now raise your right hand.

-

father your honor may i explain

my brain has claimed it’s glory over me

i’ve a good heart albeit insane,

“condemn him to the infirmary”

-

all mine towers crumble down

the flowers gasping under rubble

shrieking in the hall of lull

thy journey (??) (genius) sates a thirst for trouble

-

scattering sparks of thought energy

deliver me and carry me away!

“here in my kingdom i am your lord

i order you to cower and pray.”

-

nuns commence incanting as the

lightning strikes mine temples thus

electrifying my chamber (mine chambers) wholly

scorching down (out) thine sovereignty

and (so)

spiraling down thy majesty (??) i plead of thee, (i beg of thee)

have mercy on me,

“i was just a boy you see,”

“i plead of thee have mercy on me!” (have sympathy for me!)

-

see how the serfs work the ground {see how they fall}

and they give it all they’ve got

and you give it all you’ve got (and they give it all they’ve got)

and you give it all you’ve got, ‘til you’re down

ha ha ha ha

see how the brain plays around

and you fall inside a hole you couldn’t see

and you fall inside a hole you couldn’t see [entirely omit this verse]

and you fall inside a hole,

inside a

some

one

help

me!

understand what’s going on inside my mind;

doctor i can’t tell if i’m not me!

-

with the growing day (??) (when it grows bright)

the particles start to marvel

having made it through the night!

never they ponder whether electric,

calming if you look at it right!

Now this is my most hard and detailed artwork. It took me two years to finish this because when I sketched it and started coloring I realised that it will be soooo damn long to complete this, that I gave up and quit drawing. (but lower half was made in a week or so tho).

And here are some parts of the process, in case you are interested.

more persona art (for some reason the colors in the second image are desaturated, not sure why, they should be as vibrant as the previous image :p)

fresh stanley brainrot

new pfp 🤯

how do i nearly have 80 posts on my blog oh boy i need to clean this up tomorrow

do u like mo4?????

(also goofy ahh image from a random tiktok I found on the wild)

in all honesty i’ve never watched a playthrough of the game or even played it, initially i first saw fan-art of it on pinterest and i just gravitated towards it since it reminded me of my old art style. so i don’t really have a valid opinion on this seeing as i dont even know what the actual game is about, but i do like the design of the characters. sorry about how this response went, but hey this might inspire me to play the game or watch about it on youtube.

and yes that character is correct, we are indeed all gay

We Were Free - The Stanley Parable animation

i forgot that dst isn’t just an acronym for dont starve together and also means daylight savings time so you can imagine how weirded out i was when i saw a post in my feed from a white mom talking about how dst kicked her ass and how her day went.

I hate it when your parents are like “I know you better than you know yourself!” Like no you don’t

trick or treat :D

Keeper -- a short comic about an angel meeting a robotic lighthouse keeper that doesn't know the world has already ended. Made in about 18 hours for a 24-hour 24-page* black and white comic challenge (that I arrived late to, ha.)

*the actual submission does not include the cover, which was created after the fact for this post.

This was a really great learning experience as someone who's... never really made a completed comic. I ended up really attached to the story by the end of the project (possibly due to all-nighter deliriousness lol) and ultimately am very proud of what I made.There are some things I'd still like to change, particularly text placement, but in keeping with the spirit of the challenge I've elected to leave it as is.
