The best line of writing in Undertale is a cliché, but it's true

    I want to, one day, look into a mirror and not have the narrator say "Despite everything, it's still you.", but rather "it's me, Minna."

  3. bored human

    Both reassurance but also a clear reminder of everything you've done to get to this point, with how personal of a journey undertale is its perfect as one of the last things to close out on

  6. Vodli

    In my opinion it directs at if you were doing the genocide route , despite what you did to them you're still yourself.

  7. Sams

    I bought a diorama of this scene from Etsy because I love it so much

    For me… it's devastating…
    Bummer warning ⬇️

    I've had countless bad things happen to me, and I felt unworthy to live. So I decided to change many things, meet and lose new people fall in and out of love. But no matter how hard I try to be lovable or likeable… I'm still… 'just me'

  9. Rubixe

    It is devastating… but it shouldn't… So even if it's hard, even if I want to give up and just throw everything away, not being "me",… I'll make it change ! It will still be ME, but a me that I can look at without wanting to break the mirror, a me that I can be proud of, with scares healed, not half closed wounds….

  10. Jim Stoesz

    I feel like it's also worth mentioning that this only happens if you make all the decisions prior to this point that guide you towards the Good Ending. It takes work to get here, just like it takes work to hold onto yourself when circumstances are trying to make you change into something you're not.

  12. Кин Тацу

    Yes, this realization can be comforting, or, it can be traumatizing, but… it's an anchor. in the world, where everything is fleeting… you are the constant. at least, till it's over. You know what's the most scary thing about depersonalization? You don't get to have that.

  14. Party Pants

    I’ve heard this quote for three times in my life, each from a different content creator I was following, each at a very different time, and each of them touching me so very deeply.

    I guess I am still just me, huh?

  17. FafliX

    How many friends have you lost? 0
    How many homes have you had? 1
    How many times have you fallen in love? 0

    Well, I still enjoy my life a lot, but man sometimes I realize other people would really think it's quite boring.

  18. Pie Crumbs

    In a sense, you are a different you at every moment. You are a distinct cluster of atoms as the one in the previous moment. The larger the time gap between two of these 'yous,' the more distinct they are, physically and mentally.

  20. Vesperitis

    I'd also point out the changes in punctuation. In the beginning of the game, the sentence ends with an exclamation mark, but by the climax it's a full stop, signifying the growth from innocence, joy, and naivete to maturity, sobriety, and acceptance.

  22. Number

    Clichés are just tropes done poorly.
    It ain't a bad thing, just gotta be done well!

  26. Shakr

    Me who knows that they don't love me after my 10+ Genocide streak rn

  28. NULL

    I regret my past deeply it was very traumatic and horrifying but saying that after all my troubles I am still me and I'm not sure how to feel about it

  31. Aaren YASS

    This hit so different when you genocide run, only to abort it before permanent change to your save file and then you read THIS upon your non-genocide run. I remember i really sat there for a bit, in awe of this little reflection that also happens to move in real time. Such a little detail, but huge impact. –

  34. Nightmare

    honestly I never truly expected to see my favorite pokemon design critic suddenly start dwelling to undertale but I mean it's not the worst thing ever to see this I love the way you explained this it's really beautiful and kinda emotional

  36. movezig5

    It also means you haven't let your hardships change you for the worse. Once you've seen the bad ending, you realize how badly things can go when it isn't you in the mirror anymore.

  37. Bashful Wolfo

    I relate more to the latter than the former, the idea that no matter how much I try to change myself, I’m still just gonna be “me”, and that’s very much not a good thing.

  42. Eevee Gamer

    The line also doesn't change if you get a near genocide route Wich makes this even better

  44. AwesomeGuy1234

    Hits even harder if you had a failed or abandoned Genocide route/ killing Mettaton before killing all the other monsters.

  46. Jair Cabardo

    The way he started explaining it, made my heart sink deep. I could have been my own best friend or my worst enemy
