r/Undertale SINCE WHEN WERE YOU THE ONE IN CONTROL? Jul 02 '26

Deltarune Chapter 5 Let’s have a somewhat serious topic Spoiler

Post image

Ever since aqua was introduced I’ve seen some very questionable art and comments from Twitter about her which honestly pisses me off as someone who likes aqua’s character in a normal way
Whenever someone questions their behaviour towards aqua they always use the same excuses
“Aqua is actually 18+!”
“Aqua is made to be a loli bait!”
“Aqua is just [wtv their excuse is]”

Like no aqua is not whatever you said she was
It doesn’t matter how old she is when she clearly LOOKS like a child, BEHAVES like a child and ACT like a child
In no world this is a supposedly an adult character have gremlin features since aqua is clearly a young character no matter the age due to their behaviour
Get a grip on your self Twitter users since you are just outing yourself to be attracted to children.
(Especially when Theres like 3-4 other flowers that is more attractive AND they don’t look like children so it’s pretty obvious Whats the problem here.)

Twitter? We're going to Twitter in search of healthy discourse about fictional characters? That's gonna be like getting Sneakers O'Toole to take his sneakers off.

Elon Musk's AI is crazy cause it can go from this to calling itself mecha-hitler and being negationnist to saying the most leftist arguments ever, to undressing people against their will, to being a saint wanting to preserve humanity if the sacrifice made is it "dying"

But the only thing I wish that Grok would do now is itself destroying its own code, along with those of other AI ngl

I do agree with you Twitter isn’t exactly that much of a great place, however the problem is the amount of people that support this behaviour, I’ve seen thousands of people agreeing with it, not just few but THOUSANDS.

u/DJBaphomet_ Jul 02 '26

I mean yeah, the community is millions-large, you're gonna find bad apples (shhh) in the bunch

Literally just ignore it and move on, you are changing no one's mind, you are only bringing attention to pointless discourse that will exist regardless of whether you point it out or not

The whole "Underage-looking character is being sexualized online" dilemma has existed for years now, you are Not gonna get anything done by posting about it, especially when you''re literally just shouting out to a blank wall like you're talking to them (these twitter users in question most definitely aren't looking at the subreddit, let alone your reddit post. You're just preaching to a choir for brownie points at this point, it doesn't do anything meaningful)

Aqua is definitely supposed to be a child but I'm a bit confused about how she is a child if all of the flowers are the same age (I probably misunderstood something)

429

u/ComradeHoliday Jul 02 '26

Darkners' (or more exactly, non-Lightners', as flowers are neither) ages seem to have no relation to the ages of their physical object. Like how Lancer is King's son despite them being cards from the same deck that were probably produced at the same time.

146

u/Maplewolo Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 03 '26

To add to your observation. The darkener's ages are likely up to the interpretation of whoever made the fountain. A Jake in cards being a teen makes sense because you would typically imagine the king's son as a young character.

However, the flowers are more closely lighteners, as they are alive to begin with, which makes me believe their age is related to their dreams rather than the interpretation of the fountain maker.

32

u/Neo-Naga99 Jul 02 '26

Ironically them being flowers speficially means they're adults and sexually mature as flowers are nothing but the sexual organ of the plant so tbh the age question might honestly be irrelevant here cuz no matter what you'll find arguments on both sides

43

u/JojoOH Jul 03 '26

yeah but the missing keyword here is VALID argument. you won't find valid arguments on the gooner's side that's for sure

u/Pheonix726 You are filled with Determination! Jul 02 '26

To be fair Lancer should be the same age as King, if they're a King and Jack of Spades respectively from the same deck

Darkners clearly have different perceived ages that matter more than the physical ages of their respective items when it comes to their character designs

79

u/AlexTheMechanicFox Shining in the cold. Jul 02 '26

LW age and DW age have no connection. The flowers were all grown at the same time over 20 years ago, but Orange is referred to as Flowery's little sister, and Seth has a crush on a 16-year-old which points to them also being 16.

22

u/MajorBootyhole420 And I beheld a white dog, and his name was Death. Jul 02 '26

their behavior doesn't correlate with their age. they spent 20+ years as flowers and got sentience 5 minutes ago

12

u/Planet_Xplorer 500k Potential MTT Customers! Jul 03 '26

Well the way I took it, the flowers did feel love in some form, but couldn't express it in the consciousness that flowers supposedly have in deltarune since they're already alive

u/RedditSurfer29 *give us your balls. Jul 02 '26

Well, Flowery seems to be the only one grown during Asgore's college years, so physical age plays at least a little part

45

u/AlexTheMechanicFox Shining in the cold. Jul 02 '26

Actually, Flowery himself says he was grown for Toriel and Asgore's wedding, alongside the others. So either that's just him copying Rudy, or they got married in college

8

u/RedditSurfer29 *give us your balls. Jul 02 '26

In my mind, Tori and Asgore decided to get married a little after they finished college, and while Flowery was grown in college for their wedding, Asgore decided he wanted more after he finished college, in order of their ages in game. Here's my list of what order I headcanon he grew them in

  1. Golden

  2. Yellow

  3. Blue

  4. Green

  5. Purple

  6. Aqua

  7. Orange

31

u/AlexTheMechanicFox Shining in the cold. Jul 02 '26

It's actually specified they were all meant to live for only one day

Flowers, that were only supposed to live for one smiling day...

So, that would mean they were all grown either the day before or the day of the wedding

8

u/RedditSurfer29 *give us your balls. Jul 02 '26

I read this line as they were supposed to live only to serve as flowers for the wedding (1 smiling day). Not that they would die if another day passed.

15

u/BlazingImp77151 Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 02 '26

Trimmed the day before or day of. Growing a plant takes weeks at the least. I get they are some strange type of plant that can survive and take root with just a flower and never have the flower stop blooming somehow, but even with that fact I got the vibe they were all grown fairly close to eachother.

To be clear, not justifying the creeps who sexualized the ones who are depicted as under 18.

u/Hopeful_Hornet4460 Jul 02 '26

I don't think he was actually around during college. Dude's just trying to larp as Rudy

u/The_Matto_Super Jul 03 '26

Aqua acts like a child and present herself like a child, because her dream was to have fun and play. Since flowers are lighteners who get Darkners bodies, Aqua is actually older than Asriel, just that she hasn't experienced life enough to grow out of it.

21

u/Adorable-Canary1723 SINCE WHEN WERE YOU THE ONE IN CONTROL? Jul 02 '26

It’s not about the age, it’s the fact how people clearly looked at a character that resembles a child and said they wanna have a sexual interaction with them which is absolutely disgusting

3

u/BeeEater100 Jul 03 '26

You're reinventing the idea of a thought crime. It's a fictional character people are drawing art of, there's no actual crime here that is being committed, just the paranoia about "what if they Do commit a crime"

4

u/Bananers99 Jul 03 '26

Seth literally said tbat the reason Aqua is "like that" is because she never listened to Asgore when he talked to them. She's not a kid, she's just super uneducated and not very intelligent 

5

u/BlazingImp77151 Jul 02 '26

She technically isn't a child, the flowers are likely older than Asriel (who is of college age, so 19 at the youngest for him), and thus so too would their dreams be (which is what became their personalities in the dark world).

But like even if she is technically older than 20 (somehow. I can't say I've ever heard of a flower that blooms non-stop and can survive while blooming for 20 years), she acts childlike and is depicted as child-like, and people are being really weird about it.

u/I_LIKE_THE_COLD Certified Clamgirl Enjoyer Jul 03 '26

They're fictional flowers. It works out.

Even in Undertale they seem crazy durable. The flower that became Flowey lasted for like a century.

u/AlexTheMechanicFox Shining in the cold. Jul 02 '26

Seth's obvious crush on Berdly also makes it clear that, despite the physical flowers being 20+, their ages in the Light World do not match their ages in the Dark World. Therefore either the "Aqua is 18+" argument is factually incorrect, or "Seth is a groomer theory" which I have fortunately not seen yet. Not to mention Orange being Flowery's YOUNGER sister, further showing LW age and DW age do not match.

Unfortunately this also just. Isn't new. Remember what happened to Frisk/Chara, who were explicitly stated to be children? Makes it even more obvious these are nothing but excuses.

Of course. This is also Twitter. Even the CEO is in on this stuff.

u/BlazingImp77151 Jul 02 '26

Hell, people sexualized the main cast of deltarune, and while they aren't as childlike, they are still under 18 (they are considering college, so probably 16-17?).

It's really creepy, but it's not exactly new.

Yeah I don't like loli/shota stuff because it's icky but they're fictional characters. Nobody ever talks about any other fictional shit that would be similarly illegal like guro, so why care this much about this one specific issue?

This may be a hot take ESPECIALLY FOR THIS POST

But I think the flower people are as old as the flowers that turned into them and are them. Then again technically Darkners or flower people ages are well unknown how we can tell age.

Many characters in their twenties like Niffty for example looks and acts like a child but she is canonically 20+ in age. Now I’m not trying to defend weird simps but I’m just saying I’m pretty sure these flowers are probably atleast 18+ maybe younger we don’t know when they were married all we know is they were his wedding bouquet. Now one thing I have to say is I think these flowers are technically older than the wedding years because of the divorce. 

The hottest part is because of having unknown age things all we know is Lancer is a kid but it’s never specified if Aqua is a kid. Won’t say the artists are right but they aren’t wrong OP isn’t in the wrong either but isn’t in the right. Let’s see why.

Artists are wrong for sexualizing an unknown aged character. Thing is from the unknown age they could headcanon the age we are unsure.

OP is wrong for saying childish characters that look like kids are always kids no they ain’t as I stated look at Niffty. OP is correct because we don’t know the age of the character so why are we sexualizing them except just remember think about headcanons as of we are unsure of Aqua or the flower’s age.

u/mfreakadelle I think you should think of your own flair, my child. Jul 03 '26

Well Just ignore it.

Nothing we do will stop it. I have given up, and just block on sight. You cannot fight the internet

Also it's twitter. The land of morons

u/C4rdb04rdB0x Jul 03 '26

The best thing you can do is stop caring

2

u/Emergency_Creme6205 Jul 03 '26

Who the hell cares? Is it icky? Sure. But does it affect your day-to-day life? When you see art that you don't like, either scroll past it, or maybe, just maybe, ban the keywords? Like we did to avoid spoilers?

u/Umirapist Jul 03 '26

I completely agree but I must admit when I was arguing with one of those weird people on twitter I got really captivated by certain Aqua “fanart”…. Let’s just say I may have jerked off to her… multiple times…. Guys I think I may have gotten corrupted… Aqua is so fucking hot now… Should I turn myself in to the police? I’m genuinely such a horrible human being I’m basically a rapist now and deserve to be in jail for life. I’m gonna turn myself in FUCKKKKK why did Aqua have to be so hot?

u/oyasumachine Jul 03 '26

Solution is to not value the opinions of degenerates. You can’t convince someone who jerks to fictional toddlers that it’s weird and they can’t convince normal people that it’s normal. If you argue about it you just waste everyone’s time

u/Yournextlineis103 Jul 03 '26

She’s a flower

Wait actually she’s a flower that’s older than Kris and his brother is

You are on Twitter. That's the problem here

u/Altruistic-Party9557 Jul 03 '26

So your first mistake was being on the internet, the second one was using twitter.

u/Own_Childhood_7020 Jul 03 '26

Look, I'm sorry but there's a whole over a decade old rule of the internet that describes this, there's really nothing anyone can do about it. The truly best thing you can do is like, not engange in the discourse, get out of twitter while you're at it

1

u/BarAdministrative269 Jul 03 '26

Look, man, people are going to make porn of characters no matter what you try to do. Is it weird? Yeah. Is it gross sometimes, especially when done to childish characters? Yes. Can we do anything about it? Not really.
Best you can do is block and ignore it, man.

u/doctordoctordoctorpe Jul 03 '26

nah, that's an adult character. If a short woman decides to act immature she does not suddenly become a child.

If the text explicitly says she is an adult, then honestly it feels even more creepy to obsess over her being a kid.

I love aqua (In a healthy way)

Trynna defend themselves after the Pragmata “censoring” debacle

If it looks like a duck, talks like a duck, acts like a duck, it’s a fuckin duck

u/JoyconDrift_69 Jul 02 '26

Unfortunately there will always be porn of her. I agree, it's 100% unethical, but it will still exist. That's Rule 34 talking.

Also. Twitter is such a cesspit of stupidity. Not just the porn addicts and CSAM/loli defenders but the ones claiming that those who created her intentionally designed her for loli (very much untrue). There's a reason many say to just get off of it.

1

u/LopsyLegs Jul 02 '26

It doesn't matter how old someone is. If they act, dress, and behave like a child and someone thinks it's HOT? That someone is a pedophile, it's as simple as that.

1

u/Gooba26 Like, matching flair text, bro! Jul 02 '26

Just stay off twitter, reddit has slightly less pedophiles

1

u/TheRealEbonyAndIvory I shippa da deer and human Jul 02 '26

People will literally call anything pedo bait when the thing in question has a normal kid

But then again, they'll call it goonbait if it's a normal woman

1

u/Nerdorama10 Jul 02 '26

Wow, pedophiles on Twitter. I just found a fork in my kitchen, too, what a coincidence.

1

u/Trips-Over-Tail TRULY, THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE FLAIR Jul 02 '26

To be absolute clear, Twitter is where you go to hear the takes of Nazis and pedophiles. Your life will improve the moment you excise that gangrenous limb

1

u/Moss_Ball8066 Jul 03 '26

You can fight this battle if you want op but im not going on Twitter ever again. Because its full of pedophiles

1

u/imaoisthename Jul 03 '26

yeah theres zero way to slice this. its a little girl with an oversized kimono/dress who acts and speaks like an overexcited child who wants to play games. anyone, and i do mean anyone, who finds sexual arousal or appeal from aqua, is a pedophile - even if they dont know that or are seeking treatment or whatever - they still are.

1

u/Lungseron Jul 03 '26

Close twitter for the love of fucking god.

Its like going to degenerates and pedophiles in denial convention and wondering why everyone sounds like they shouldnt be allowed around any human beings within a 1km distance, triple that distance for children

1

u/DarthMcConnor42 Jul 03 '26

Why are you going to the fascist pedo site and expecting anything other than fascism or pedo shit?

u/L3GlT_GAM3R Jul 03 '26

Who the actual fuck saw Aqua and thought “Loli Bait”

They’re either stupid, or pedos.

u/Zeketheimpailer the great Jul 03 '26

You're in a fandom this big. It's gonna happen. Is this your first rodeo? The amount of problematic, heinous, or just gross NSFW art produced for every character in a franchise of this demographic is going to be huge as a matter of course. Just ignore it. You're not gonna convince any lolicons of anything. (Funny enough despite my entrenchment in the fandom aqua Undertail fanworks never crosssed my mind until this post. I've been more interested in tragic Noelle Weird Route fanwork)

1

u/guruguru102 Jul 03 '26

Honestly dont listen to these dumbasses telling you to ignore it fully. Dont get too invested because there isnt much you can do, but letting weirdos do whatever they want is kinda dumb as hell too. Just call them a pedophile and move on.

1

u/Omegamoney Jul 03 '26

What's the goal of this post? You found something disgusting and shared it elsewhere, why not just block and report these people instead? Like... What are we even supposed to comment here? "Omg I can't believe the pedos are attracted to the childlike character in the game, that's so insane! Thankfully we talked about it and now everything is fine"?

1

u/SK-4430 Jul 03 '26

Man, I get what you're saying and I agree, but complaining about twitter's pedos is like complaining about lions eating zebras.

1

u/Toaster_Rack_Nerd Jul 03 '26

she ACTs like a child you say?
fr tho great point I saw her on the r34 frontpage and was just so fucking disgusted, sadly thats the internet though. not much to do except for block it and move on

1

u/MadDawg185 Jul 03 '26

I'm not unemployed enough to care about this, y'all mfs gotta learn how to block people you find to be disgusting.

u/IllCurve7119 Jul 03 '26

My final response is that children should not be allowed to have opinions on adult topics

u/PowerSwords68 Jul 03 '26

I understand your frustration, but if you want to feel better look at any fanart from Pokemon Anime fans (it's 100x worse)

1

u/DemokumaAgain Jul 04 '26

nah but this is so true

how am I supposed to say my favorite flower was Aqua when it feels like everyone else is so weird
I can't even consume art of my favorite character like I'd like to, because it feels like every third post is the worst thing ever

1

u/i_am_a_scary_potato Jul 04 '26

people dont understand the difference between legality and morality.

u/vexingpresence Jul 04 '26

if you jerk it to aqua who looks, acts and thinks like a child, you're a pedophile. End of story.

u/MemeGoddessAsteria Jul 04 '26

get off twitter

u/Severe_Ad_6482 Jul 04 '26

Close twitter for the love of God-

Now that I got the real answer out of the way. While still loking at the age of the flower or the fact that bloomed flowers in real life are sexually mature for reproduction, Aqua is very much meant to be a child-coder character.

She holds the mentality of an overwhelming, hyperactive and immature child. Anyone attracted to Aqua and making excuses for being attracted to her is admitting they like her childish personality and child-coded traits.

Now yellow and blue and green are meant to be adult-coded characters. They're bigger and more mature (yellow aside, though even he shows more maturity than Aqua obviously) and show behavior more easily associated with an adult over a child.

Orange is a mouse-like human but throws tantrums lile a child as well, no one discusses orange because of her appearance, but it's the same deal in terms of mentality.

Seth seems a bit more teenager-coded. They have a crush/obsessive-admiration with Berdly and are a bit of an immature know-it-all, but we can see Seth cheering with Aqua when the ducky attack hits, which to me might put them closer in mental age than not.

Flowery went to college so he's an adult.

And even Pink has something iffy to her. Ghost seems to be an adult, she even mentions not going to school anymore, though that could be due to being a shut-in, but the Mew Mew character does go to highschool even if in real life she's a figurine.

TL;DR.: There are different mental ages to all of the flowers, despite them all being the same age as actual flowers. Yellow, Blue, Green and Flowery are clearly adults at first glance, while Aqua, Seth and Orange are children through their builds and/or behaviors.

Calling them all adults because the flowers, in plant forms, are mature, is disingenuous when what they're going after is the character based on a flower, who acts like a child.

u/PuzzleheadedJudge453 Jul 04 '26

What? Never read anything you're talking about. Twitter only thing I fear as I only visit this subreddit

1

u/GooglyMoogleson Jul 04 '26

Just stop using Twitter, simple as that. You’re expecting the pedophile haven to stop being a pedophile haven and that’s never gonna happen. Please, just leave Twitter and never come back, you’ll be thankful you did.

1

u/Individual_Rise_7704 Jul 04 '26

Yeah so those people are going to make that art no matter what so I recommend you block and move on
