I think a lot of us are like Alphys. From our social backgrounds to the things we are passionate about... and that is what makes the Undertale community so great. We're here to support each other, and we've all bonded over an amazing game. Thanks for being so supportive everyone. Over the course of all my videos and my time spent on Tumblr, I've seen a lot of caring people. When I recently was able to attend a large Undertale gathering, I was blown away at how supportive everyone was. Most of the people who were not normally comfortable in social situations were able to be themselves, and there was smiling across the room. It was one of the most welcoming experiences I've had in a while. Depression and social anxiety are things a lot of us deal with, but just know there will be happiness in your future. Depression is all encompassing, and once it takes a hold of you, it is hard to see past it let alone cry out for help. I know in the video I mentioned to seek out and talk to someone, but this is usually the hardest part. My best advice is to make a promise to yourself to force yourself to do it though. It is going to feel pointless, and you will lack the motivation to do so, but it will make all the difference. For those of you on the other side of the spectrum, reach out to people who you may see struggling. Go sit with the person who sits alone at lunch. Give them the time of day that someone else may have never done. Collectively depression is easier to tackle, although its roots can come from multiple things. Most of the time it comes from loneliness though. By giving a few minutes of your day, you could make a difference in someone’s life. Whether you are depressed now, or are familiar with the pains of it, the power is in our hands to make a difference. So please… Push against the pain, or reach through it to pull someone out. Because it all starts with us. Thanks for hearing me out.
I definitely feel like Alphys was possibly going to take her own life, it is hinted at quite a lot, even by herself. Perhaps Undyne actually saved her from doing it the first time due to just being at the right place at the right time, and was the friend she needed. And the player definitely contributes a lot. Of all the characters I feel like alphys is the one you can change the most, for better or for worse depending on your actions, which is interesting with her being the only character you can never physically harm or spare yourself.
+lightsen It's weird how you basically save her by doing the best ending, but also by doing the close-to-worst ending, where she learns to be a better person for others.
TheMAMAnimations we cant be chara as chara kills us in the end, the beginning we name the fallen child, we influence frisk, chara influences frisk also. We murder everyone, and right at the end chara is awakened to a point of leaving the body of frisk and killing us and the world.
lightsen Supposidly the game intends for you to put your name as the Fallen child, Chara simply being the default name. Chara doesn't kill you but destroys the world, so they're basically finishing what you started. Whether or not you choose to disobey them they'd have too much power by then, because you were out of control, just like Chara. Chara is the feeling of greed, attack, defense, "love", etc, that you get, they're the personafication of the person you've become. The game could have substituted Chara for a mirror pointing at the fourth wall and it'd be the same.
I have a few clues for Alphys's Suicide: 1: Alphys wanted to do something cowardly 2: if you only kill mtt and Noone else, Undyne said you killed her, but she is an unfightable character 3: she also says that she (Undyne) couldn't save her (Alphys) 4: in the same ending, Papyrus said that Alphys dissapeared 5: in some other endings Mtt said that Alphys is nowhere around, he clearly knows the true lab and the Underground isn't that big 6. Alphys already stood at the abyss once (most likely through Suicidal reasons) and she has a big burden to carry. So, that's why I think she really killed herself.
"Did she run away? Is she hiding?" ..... Where can she run away when they're all trapped in the Underground? And if she was hiding why would Undyne be pissed at what happened to "Asgore and Alphys"? Since Alphys is mentioned right next to Asgore, it implied that the same thing happened to them, and Asgore is dead so...
I thought of this because on the genocide route, when u are killing undyne she says "alphys is watching. If anything went wrong, she would evacuate and tell asgore to collect the humans soul's. (...)" But even with the evacuation, she never told asgore. When u meet him he seems unprepared and u kill him off guard. Maybe in that ending she really killed herself after evacuating some people.
I doubt so, because if you abandon the ending in hotland you get her on the phone (search for "queen alphys ending" on youtube) And anyway, the explanation is also told by Mettaton. She helped people to flee, and charged Mettaton to inform Asgore that he have to absorb the human souls. And he didn't did it because he wanted to take this by his own hand, like he does in neutral and pacifist in fact (not for the same reasons though).
On a Neutral Route that starts off as a Genocide Route, Alphys will get on the phone and say she found a new purpose in keeping the evacuees safe from you.
i like the theory (although it has no evidence) that flowey called alphys pretending to be asgore and tricked her into thinking he had absorbed the souls, when he really hadn't at all
I've always found Alphys the most human character in Undertale, she cares for everyone more than herself and puts the monster society as her first priority. Alphys' life was really limited because of her burdens and mistakes she could not let go, So if you ever feel like shit, always remember that there is a light waiting by the tunnel, only if you break those chains, with someone you love.
@Darkalms Humans are just as complicated as the monsters in Undertale. Humanity doesn't necessarily correlate with selfishness, it's just all over the place, but so is compassion.
I have noticed that Napstablook and Alphys are pretty much of display of depressed teenagers who are enjoying listening to music, hiding and watching videos, not liking life... It's so... Obvious Toby tried to show how much younger people care about their friends and family...
@@Oscario2004 She's supposed to be cute. She's literally a hideous yellow dinasour/lizard. And her anxiety is supposed to make you feel bad. With the way Toby did it though, it just makes her more annoying. She's like Napstablook, but he doesn't just spam text and try to make you feel bad for him as much, so she's the literally just the downgraded, obnoxious version of Napstablook.
that is false because if you kill everyone (but sans) and muffet you will get a phone call of alphys tell you he hate you and wish he could kill you he really dark in the out side.
The wiki is NOT evidence. It's fan-made, and is no more accurate than a fan comic. Unless you can show a NON-fanmade citation or source, this is literally just misinformation.
The wiki can't be an evidence for something that don't have evidence in the game. About the ending where you abandon the genocide halfway in hotland, it's no proof that in other endings she didn't commit suicide, just read what she says. How she see herself completely changed because by helping everyone to flee, they all seen her as a hero because of that (even though they seen what she did, indicating that they hide in the true lab), so it's a complete crush of the image that Alphys have of herself, she changed a lot since Undyne begged her to help everyone to hide. In other endings, there's not all this support that she got ; More the contrary, she keep receiving daily more and more angry letters from the families of the monsters she have in the true lab that still didn't went home or had their funerals.
I think that in some endings Alphys decided to jump to the abyss and in others she didn't and ran away instead. I feel like she did end her life in Mettaton ending, Undyne ending and Papyrus ending. She stayed in the ending in which you spared only one random encounter and in one in which you did the Undyne x Alphys sidequest but skipped the true lab. In rest she ran away to some other parts of underground.
Alphys commits suicide in all of the endings where Undyne an/or Mettaton die (excluding Genocide and the Alphys Ending, where they're both dead but Alphys doesn't die)
Actually it's just if you kill all the main characters but abandon the genocide route. Muffet doesn't really change the story any more than any other monster does.
it kinda irks me how everyone keeps labeling alphys as depressed because she exhibits a lot more traits of anxiety disorders than depression. Feeling like you're not good enough. constant worrying and fear. Thinking everyone hates you and having trouble communicating and connecting in real life. alphys is most definitely the face of anxiety. (PS if anyone's looking for more characters accurately portraying anxiety Wilfred is an excellent place to start)
i know this comment is a year old but depression and anxiety so often go together that it’s possible she could have both. they both feed off each other and make sense with her character, feeling deep guilt and regret and self loathing (a few depression symptoms) as well as trouble talking to people, frequently lying due to being worried what people will think if they knew the truth, stuttering, etc (some anxiety symptoms) are all a part of alphys
75% people did neutral (because they played without knowing anything at all) 15% people did genocide (because most (not all) games, you have to kill your enemies) 10% people did pacifist (because they either saw the trailer or saw someone play it) Which did you do?
Well, this is gonna get lost in the comments, and I'm sure almost no one scrolls very far through the comments, but I just want to say... I hide everything related to Undertale and info about the game I want to make myself from my parents, from the undertale game files on my computer, to who are the enemies in my game. It feels easier to tell on the internet, beacuse no one knows you in person, and they don't know where you live. It just feels much safer to say it all there instead of in real life to people you know.
Vault Boy I scrolled far enough to see this and I agree it better to tell people on the Internet that you dislike something because people won't know where you live if they get mad and telling people you know that you dislike it is not as good as telling people over the Internet
In one of the endings, Sans or Papyrus talks about how Undyne keeps muttering to herself about “how she couldn’t save her”, and I think that that is a talking point for this
Thanks so much for the ending Swanky. I have been suffering multiple depressions and anxieties for the past 3 years living with my uncle since I am afraid of every action I do in this household. At one point, I thought of ending myself to not be a burden to myself and others. But then, I started sharing my situation more to my mom and my girlfriend (thank you Sara) and I began to feel better. Even though I still clash with my uncle from time to time, it has got better since then. Swanky is correct. If you're in a situation like Alphys or me and can't take it anymore, go find someone you trust the most to vent it all out. Don't be afraid that the person you vent to would feel uncomfortable. If they are willing to listen, they will listen and (if possible) give you advices to get you through. Again, thank you so much for the ending statement Swanky. It means a lot to me. EDH8900.
Yeah but the problem is when the depression become the final stage of depression. Is when you become deaf and blind cause if you try to help them they will live running away. And the worst os when you start getting schizophrenic(when you think everyone is you enemy and you have no friend) and even you showing it to them they will say "Fuck you" and start running away. It's really hard to try and sometimes you can not be able to help them. Some of them will start seeing this as a "truth" and don't look for help cause to them they will think "the life is sad and that's the truth!". It's hard to talk to someone with depression and even more harder if this person is im the final stage. If you guys have depression or think that you have please, go look for help while you guys still have control of your mind.
I first got the neutral ending but I don't know why. I guess I missed something, but the game gave me a chance to go back and talk to Alphys and all that. Before her lab was locked so I couldn't go talk to her before ending the game the first time. I could relate to Alphys alot, I'm a huge nerd and have struggled with self esteem too. I can relate to Sans too after watching the genocide run (struggling with depression and lack of motivation due to knowing certain things).
In the game, you always get a neutral ending first. If you do Pacifist completely, you will get the neutral ending and the game will allow you to just walk back to see Alphys.
I got the feeling she was planning to commit suicide on that waterfall and undyne changed her mind, either intentionally or not, and that's why alphys grew to like undyne
I'd love to see a theory on Gaster (I know you've covered most of this) but the theories on the mysterious grey pixels that can be found around the game, and also the asterisk found on all characters text APART FROM Papyrus. now if it was sans I'd get it, but its pretty funny that in 90% of the sans and Gaster theories papyrus always destroys them for just existing, I love it. A who is papyrus video would be awesome, he is my favourite ;) and I think more mysterious when it comes to his origins than the rest of the cast. At least sans seems to know where he is from.
My depiction of Alphys my first playthrough was "ahah thr fuck what is this dinosaur ass dumb fukin ho lmao" by the Pacifist Ending, I have to sit down for a second and be like, shit. She's me.
As soon as I saw Alphys I was like "this is kind of me" And then after "cute pic of me right now!" *its a picture of a garbage can with several pink, glittery filters on it I was like "this is actually me."
There is a possibility that Alphys decided to commit suicide but I don’t really want to talk about that though ‘cause Alphys can be such a relatable, and mysterious character. But ending it all is completely normal. And I’d think that this is a large possibility
the plot of undertale involves timelines so there's no real canon ending, if a player ever got a ending in one timeline, it can't be fixed ever. It's sad, but that's what makes the game so interesting
@@reaperdestt5099 On the switch, You can actually do a reset of the game. Erase every piece of data, every past playthrough, and start anew. Even Sans will forget.
*How dare you. You really want someone to roast you,don't you?* *You're the most ugliest youtuber in the world. the U in your profile picture stands for it.*
Here's my theory for Alphys's disappearance: In the True Lab, she left a note saying that she stays in the dump, sifting through trash, saying "it's [her] element". Now, remember that when the determination was injected into the other monsters, they sorta melted and fused together into each other to form the Amalgamates. From this, I believe that Alphys injected herself with determination in the dump, melted into a pile, and became her element: trash, reflecting her mental state, but being too afraid to actually kill herself by going over the falls. This would be why Mettaton couldn't find her: he likely wouldn't have thought Alphys was trash (or didn't know anything about the determination or its effects), Alphys would be easily able to hide away in the dump forever, and no one would be any the wiser.
My headcanon is that she returned underground to her Silurian fam. (for those of you who don't know, Silurians are a race of humanoid reptillian people from Doctor Who that live underground)
ah yes, I see that everyone in this comments section are people of culture as well. Also, the heck?? my comment apparently has 26 likes, so ig all the people who liked are whovians?? idk lol
The fact that Alphys is suicidal and have very low self esteem really reminds me of my girlfriend who is as suicidal as her. She would always call herself stupid or useless when she mess something up and whenever she doesn't understand school work and ask me for guidance and she still doesn't get it after I explained it, she would be hard on herself and apologise to me. It really is depressing that some people have this kind of behaviour and I think we should do our best to help and support those who are feeling blue instead of criticising them
+Iftach Katani - Someone else mentioned this too. I plan on revisiting them in the future, but if you could explain this a bit more it might help me figure out what to avoid doing.
+SwankyBox that yellow "box" on your logo looks really similar to youtube's ad symbol. It's really well done and professional looking with that faded white with the title and logo on top giving an artificial feel. That's all I could think of.
SwankyBox Its just the whole white box in the bottom that really makes you think this, you only realize it's not an add if you actually see the character in the rest of the thumbnail, Oh BTW Great video
+Poison Ice Blade +Iftach Katani - Thanks for both of your input. Now that you mention it, I can see how this can get confusing. I need to update my thumbnails anyways since the video duration typically blocks the title, so I'll keep this in mind when I create some new ones. Cheers!
+MrSoup MORE THINGS ABOUT GASTER ARE FOUND IN SANS'S LAB WITH A PICTURE THAT SAYS 'DONT FORGET' PLUS GASTER IS NOW CANON YOU DO NOT NEED TO CHANGE YOUR FUN VALUES TO FIND GASTER
Personally, I think that Alphys was one of the most underrated characters. She reflected a lot of the traits that a younger audience can identify with (our love of technology, awkwardness, anxiety, depression, problems with self confidence)..(and love of anime lmao) Even though alot of people can find similarities themselves with Sans's jokes, toriel's caring nature, frisk's determination, papyrus's cooking (which probably isn't that great haha), I think we all related with alphys at some point in our lives.
Feel important? Go to one of Pewdiepie's videos, comment and expect a response. You'll stop feeling important. This is because there are far more important people out there, famous UA-camrs like even Swankybox that hang out with other famous youtubers, and just kinda brush us off. So, what are we? I'll tell you what we are. Numbers. Comments on their videos. Likes for their charts. We are but a statistic. The more that subscriber number goes up, the more they become and less we become. But nobody will acknowledge it. Who knows, maybe we should all meet the fate of Alphys during the Mettaton ending.
+The Gamer Guy 500 - Unfortunately UA-cam works against content creators in that same light. You may not see all my responses on things, but I do go through the comments daily. When it comes down to it though, I'm no different than anyone else. Sure I may have a following, but a few months ago I didn't. I'm still the same person I was back then, and really will try my best to not change as time goes on. I think seeing UA-camrs that I liked to watch change over time instilled a response in me to not be like them, so I'm hoping I can stay true to my word. Outside of being a user on UA-cam you are a person though. You aren't just a number. You have your own thoughts, your own interests, and your own story. I may be SwankyBox online, but there's a person behind this screen as well, so I've often shared the same views and thoughts that you probably have. Followings don't really matter when it comes down to it. It's an added bonus if it happens, and while I appreciate it, I'm still doing this because I love to do it. If I didn't love making these videos, this channel probably would have disappeared a while ago. So in regards to that, I always want to empower people to chase their own dreams as well. If you shoulder the hero mentality, and that is, you do what you do because you feel it is right and it doesn't matter who knows you did it, than you can't really go wrong if what you do is pure enjoyment. Sorry for the bit of a tangent, but all those thoughts just kind of poured out based on your comment. Please check out my Ohayocon 2016 video to see a bit more where I'm coming from. I've also never really hung out with another UA-camr, and 99% of my efforts to reach out to anyone in the space has ended up with them giving me the cold shoulder and never responding back. It's pretty unfortunate, so I can't blame you for adopting this view on things.
Thank you for at least understanding, and I appreciate that you actually care about your fans, but sometimes I feel like that's all we are. Fans. Nothing more. It's like Flowey's Kill Or Be Killed, it's not exactly wrong, but it's not right either I guess.
+The Gamer Guy 500 - I also don't think that is negative either though. Being a fan means that you like something and that you find it generally interesting. If you get enjoyment out of someone who makes videos, artwork, or games, than there isn't anything to feel bad about. It's just one of the many things that you may find enjoyable. On the flip side of things, knowing someone finds my videos enjoyable warms my heart. I'm glad that someone finds my content worth watching, and hearing that someone thinks what I do is cool really makes me feel good. It also gives me the power to keep producing more stuff. But even without that support, I still think I would do it because it is fun for me. It gives me a chance to relive my childhood, which is something a lot of people often take for granted until they get older. So in that regards, knowing that my videos resonate with other people, makes me feel validated and not alone, because I discovered that I'm not the only one who thinks that way.
+The Gamer Guy 500 But you're going to a Pewdiepie video tho. That's like going to a JB concert and trying to spark a conversation. Pewd's comment fan base is pure chaos
Me: "I have somewhere to go..." Onionsan: Follows me "No you don't..." Me: " I'M DYING BUT I'LL SURVIVE IF I GET TO THE END OF THIS HALLWAY!" Runs away. Onionsan: :`(
+►Voltron Bugzilla◄ even if they "were suicidal", you would still be able to read their comment being suicidal doesn't make someone dead su·i·cid·al ˌso͞oəˈsīdl/ adjective deeply unhappy or depressed and likely to commit suicide.
0:30 Swanky: Alphys gives off a strong Francis vibe for anyone who has played the paper mario series. Me: Wait... Francis committed genocide, while Alphys created a robot. THERE IS NO COMPARISON!
At first I was like “When did Francis commit genocide in paper Mario?” then I realized it’s yet another Smg4 related comment. God can’t people let her go already? It’s been 2 years since she was killed off
+SwankyBox I'm one who does deal with depression but I'm trying to fight the thought of suicide and giving up in life but when I'm playing gta or other games I start getting distracted about life but the one person who stop me getting distracted from life is my dad and I start getting depressed and un-sociallable and later on I start to realize what is life and trying to figure out the meaning of it. Ant thank you swanky box for this video it reflected a lot in my life and I am only 11.
+HolyGaming I know how your feeling and I'm only 11 as well but there's one motor I always keep to: where I am (you in this scenario) people will be there for me no matter how big the problem is.
I was once where swanky is talking about at the end of the video, I watch this then and believed that there was no light but I did find it after a while and now I am happy. For all those people out there like that don't give up stay determined for all those you love even if they are gone, like I did.
It isn’t confirmed by Toby Fox if Alphys committed suicide, but it is highly implied that she did. Also fun fact: The only neutral ending where Alphys doesn’t disappear is if you start a genoicde route, but stop it after Undyne the Undying, then she becomes king
I understand that not many people like Alphys, but i kind of see myself in her... I'm glad you made a video about her. It really fills me determination. (sorry but even if it is an already overused reference it's still the best one to use)
Jesus Christ the end got me hard.... I honestly can't thank you enough for that. its hard finding someone you can trust for help when you won't see them for a long time, but now I kinda feel like I can at least find someone else for now :) thanks again, haha!
+Chicohonut - Taking the first steps is the hardest part. When you're in the midst of depression, it is impossible to see anything beyond the present moment and what you're feeling. You pretty much have to act against what your heart is telling you and it is by far one of the hardest things to do.
I think Alphys killed herself because in the true pasifist (sorry if misspelled it) she said that she would've run away and do something 'cowardly' with someone like me struggling with suicidal thoughts it is proof that she took her own life in the nutrural route But it's only my opinion so please no hate comments I'm already suffering depression and anxiety and low self-esteem so PLEASE no hate comments thanks
Didn't Alphys commit Suicide in genocide? I'm not sure myself, it would make sense I guess but nothing was really pointing at it to me, I just saw people talk about it.
+Sergeant Flipper In near-genocide ending, she became the queen due to her actions saving many underground inhabitants to the point that her actions in the lab were forgiven. I assume that she was still hiding when Asgore was killed but I don't know if she was watching your actions or not.
She evacuates all of the town NPCs into the True Lab, as Mettaton says when you go into the lab in Genocide.. as artman40 said, she becomes ruler in the near genocide ending. She says she decided she had to "do the right thing, even if it meant everybody had to find out about my secrets.", implying they went to the true lab.
+SwankyBox My daughter and I visited there a few weeks ago. As soon as we saw the video, we knew exactly which rooms they were from. That was a very beautiful and impressive part of our vacation! They made for an excellent addition to the video.
Poor alphys... she is one of my favorite characters, and i knew she had anexiety and social interacrion issues... when her best friend died, she must have been devestated from that. I'm feeling bad for her. I don't want her to feel bad😩
perhaps a theory on what year it is? I know people say it's 2015 but there's evidence against that like when you press info on the toy knife it says "a toy knife made out of plastic, quite rare these days"
I have a theory that maybe she was punished for having betrayed the monsters in undertale by helping you, as their overall goal was to kill each human who enters. She could have ben set in prison or perhaps executed. Your theories are good too, and I guess just as valid
Not gonna lie, I was recently in a position extremely similar to that of Alphys in the game. It passed for the most part; I am in recovery as I type this now. I gave Undertale a try, after my strong hatred for the game because of the fact that all I knew about it was what the fandom presented, and after... The trauma passed. I almost instantly loved Alphys; I related to her in almost every way. I even accidentally melted people together. No I didn't. But she is to this day my favorite character.
Even if I was 7 years late at watching this, I still like your vid, it didn't only talk about the secrets of the underground, but had a lesson that connect to your own life too.
In a neutral ending where you kill mettaton, but spare everyone else, Papyrus talks about how Undyne wants to get revenge on you because of “what happened to Alphys. She keeps saying things like, ‘It’s their fault she’s gone’” This proves alphys killed herself in at least one neutral ending
Alphys def did the first thing us and Undyne kept her going even in the genocide run she was stopping us from hurting any other people because of Undyne. When Undyne died and we left I'm sure she did it even the best netrual she still held the guilt of the true lab so i feel mostly if we didn't do pasfict she would of never got over that guilt so very possible she took her life
+Emanuel Costa Flowey actually has no soul, he was created through Alphys and her Determination experimentation. She injected DT (Determination) into a golden flower in her lab, and Flowey was born, without a soul, and could not feel anything. No happiness. No sadness. Nothing.
+Noah Javaruski No, Asriel died and his dust spread into the golden flowers, then he was reborn as a flower, but with no feeling or emotion. Notice how him and flowey say Howdy!
In the ending where you only kill mettaton it is implied that alphys does take her own life when papyrus mentions undyne saying things like "I couldn't protect her" obviously implying she's not with them
That's why I love Alphys. I am kind of like her. I am going through lot's of Depressions, emotions... sadness. I like Alphys because she is nice. And while being nice. She doesn't get anything from it. If this was real life. I would already be with her. Be her slave (In a good way). And a friend. Best friend. But yeah. That's all I wanted to say. o^,..,^o
Imagine living the life of a Weeb, watching anime because you have nothing to do, have but never use your intelligence, program a killer robot, making many mistakes, and have a crush on a fish in armor. Not the typical role model. Proves school isn’t the solution to our insanity
I think a lot of us are like Alphys. From our social backgrounds to the things we are passionate about... and that is what makes the Undertale community so great. We're here to support each other, and we've all bonded over an amazing game. Thanks for being so supportive everyone. Over the course of all my videos and my time spent on Tumblr, I've seen a lot of caring people. When I recently was able to attend a large Undertale gathering, I was blown away at how supportive everyone was. Most of the people who were not normally comfortable in social situations were able to be themselves, and there was smiling across the room. It was one of the most welcoming experiences I've had in a while.
Depression and social anxiety are things a lot of us deal with, but just know there will be happiness in your future. Depression is all encompassing, and once it takes a hold of you, it is hard to see past it let alone cry out for help. I know in the video I mentioned to seek out and talk to someone, but this is usually the hardest part. My best advice is to make a promise to yourself to force yourself to do it though. It is going to feel pointless, and you will lack the motivation to do so, but it will make all the difference. For those of you on the other side of the spectrum, reach out to people who you may see struggling. Go sit with the person who sits alone at lunch. Give them the time of day that someone else may have never done. Collectively depression is easier to tackle, although its roots can come from multiple things. Most of the time it comes from loneliness though. By giving a few minutes of your day, you could make a difference in someone’s life. Whether you are depressed now, or are familiar with the pains of it, the power is in our hands to make a difference. So please… Push against the pain, or reach through it to pull someone out. Because it all starts with us.
Thanks for hearing me out.
+SwankyBox Literally me.
same
thank you so much!!!
+SwankyBox Thanks, that made me feel a bit better
I am just almost like her
I definitely feel like Alphys was possibly going to take her own life, it is hinted at quite a lot, even by herself. Perhaps Undyne actually saved her from doing it the first time due to just being at the right place at the right time, and was the friend she needed.
And the player definitely contributes a lot. Of all the characters I feel like alphys is the one you can change the most, for better or for worse depending on your actions, which is interesting with her being the only character you can never physically harm or spare yourself.
+lightsen It's weird how you basically save her by doing the best ending, but also by doing the close-to-worst ending, where she learns to be a better person for others.
feargm yeah, she sorta becomes a hero as undyne says alphys would be taking everyone somewhere safe, and evacuating hotland.
feargm You know you're missing the point of Chara, right? You did or watched the Genocide run. You, as the player, are Chara, because you wanted this.
TheMAMAnimations we cant be chara as chara kills us in the end, the beginning we name the fallen child, we influence frisk, chara influences frisk also. We murder everyone, and right at the end chara is awakened to a point of leaving the body of frisk and killing us and the world.
lightsen Supposidly the game intends for you to put your name as the Fallen child, Chara simply being the default name.
Chara doesn't kill you but destroys the world, so they're basically finishing what you started. Whether or not you choose to disobey them they'd have too much power by then, because you were out of control, just like Chara. Chara is the feeling of greed, attack, defense, "love", etc, that you get, they're the personafication of the person you've become.
The game could have substituted Chara for a mirror pointing at the fourth wall and it'd be the same.
"From depression to social anxiety, we carry a lot on our shoulders." Unless we are monster kid.
Monster kid was cool at first but on my 3rd time playing he got annoying
You can still have shoulders without arms.
Sorry king sam, you need arms to have shoulders, or else it'd look like a golden Minecraft chestplate with tan stripes.

Sans: Am I a joke to you?
I have a few clues for Alphys's Suicide:
1: Alphys wanted to do something cowardly
2: if you only kill mtt and Noone else, Undyne said you killed her, but she is an unfightable character
3: she also says that she (Undyne) couldn't save her (Alphys)
4: in the same ending, Papyrus said that Alphys dissapeared
5: in some other endings Mtt said that Alphys is nowhere around, he clearly knows the true lab and the Underground isn't that big
6. Alphys already stood at the abyss once (most likely through Suicidal reasons) and she has a big burden to carry.
So, that's why I think she really killed herself.
In a genocide you can fight alphys
@@Ziggyzaggy300 nope you can't
Ya sure i saw a video its called what if you kill everyone except alphys
@@sansdaskeleton1335 ok no spoilers for pacifist or genocide plz
@@Ziggyzaggy300 oh sorry i was thinking you played them i will delete the comments 😅
Alphys evacuated everyone, according to When Undyne the Undying was dying. (Wow that sounds weird).
Thats the genocide route
...
*When Undyne the Undying was Dying*
Genocide route. But we are talking about neutral endings not genocide route
Alphys didn't see the battle with Undyne, so she doesn't know what to do
Me: (kills one monster)
Alphys: aight imma head out
Kills jerry nothing happened jerry is useless
Lol
No thats me when i do a genocide route and kill goat mom
Why do I find this funny?
Alphys:understandable have a great day
She suicided.
That's what she meant by doing something cowardly
Edit: This only happens if you kill Mettaton or Undyne
No
Yes
Maybe
Well yes, but actually no
noooooo! im going to do a mercy route!
"Did she run away? Is she hiding?"
..... Where can she run away when they're all trapped in the Underground? And if she was hiding why would Undyne be pissed at what happened to "Asgore and Alphys"? Since Alphys is mentioned right next to Asgore, it implied that the same thing happened to them, and Asgore is dead so...
Underground is bigger than we see.
@@rafsandomierz5313 yeah THERE IS A WHOLE CITY IN BOTH RUINS AND NEW HOME THAT WE COULD ONLY SEE FROM A BALCONY
shap crooter she killed herself
Jackster how do you know?
PumpkinLord the way undyne says asgore and alphys implys that they are dead also she only “dies” when undyne or mettaton is killed
I thought of this because on the genocide route, when u are killing undyne she says "alphys is watching. If anything went wrong, she would evacuate and tell asgore to collect the humans soul's. (...)"
But even with the evacuation, she never told asgore. When u meet him he seems unprepared and u kill him off guard. Maybe in that ending she really killed herself after evacuating some people.
I doubt so, because if you abandon the ending in hotland you get her on the phone (search for "queen alphys ending" on youtube)
And anyway, the explanation is also told by Mettaton.
She helped people to flee, and charged Mettaton to inform Asgore that he have to absorb the human souls.
And he didn't did it because he wanted to take this by his own hand, like he does in neutral and pacifist in fact (not for the same reasons though).
On a Neutral Route that starts off as a Genocide Route, Alphys will get on the phone and say she found a new purpose in keeping the evacuees safe from you.
If he'd absorb the souls, the genocide wouldn't suceed
i like the theory (although it has no evidence) that flowey called alphys pretending to be asgore and tricked her into thinking he had absorbed the souls, when he really hadn't at all
Am I the only one who pronounces Alphys as "Alf-is" instead of "Alf-ees?"
+Arctic Chill Ive always said Alf-is too
+Arctic Chill Toby said that he pronounces it "Alf-ees" but "Alf-is" seems to be the most common pronunciation and he doesn't care either way
I pronounce it like that too.
+Arctic Chill nope
I used to say Alf-is but then i saw the official pronunciation on Toby's twitter.
I've always found Alphys the most human character in Undertale, she cares for everyone more than herself and puts the monster society as her first priority. Alphys' life was really limited because of her burdens and mistakes she could not let go, So if you ever feel like shit, always remember that there is a light waiting by the tunnel, only if you break those chains, with someone you love.
The most human would be the most selfish
more human than frisk or chara 😔
@Darkalms Humans are just as complicated as the monsters in Undertale. Humanity doesn't necessarily correlate with selfishness, it's just all over the place, but so is compassion.
I have noticed that Napstablook and Alphys are pretty much of display of depressed teenagers who are enjoying listening to music, hiding and watching videos, not liking life... It's so... Obvious Toby tried to show how much younger people care about their friends and family...

Alphys is a truly satisfying and fascinating character. She deserves so much more credit.
No she doesn't
Pro Gamer Why not?
@@Oscario2004 She's supposed to be cute. She's literally a hideous yellow dinasour/lizard. And her anxiety is supposed to make you feel bad. With the way Toby did it though, it just makes her more annoying. She's like Napstablook, but he doesn't just spam text and try to make you feel bad for him as much, so she's the literally just the downgraded, obnoxious version of Napstablook.
Goofy aass nigga
This man is wisdom in it's purest form. I totally agree Alphys deserves better.
Actually... it says on the wiki that if either Mettaton or Undyne dies she commits suicide...
that is false because if you kill everyone (but sans) and muffet you will get a phone call of alphys tell you he hate you and wish he could kill you he really dark in the out side.
dilly Roleplays Alphys is a she.
ApollLolita oh dear gosh, Sans should probably defend them with his damn life.
The wiki is NOT evidence. It's fan-made, and is no more accurate than a fan comic. Unless you can show a NON-fanmade citation or source, this is literally just misinformation.
The wiki can't be an evidence for something that don't have evidence in the game.
About the ending where you abandon the genocide halfway in hotland, it's no proof that in other endings she didn't commit suicide, just read what she says.
How she see herself completely changed because by helping everyone to flee, they all seen her as a hero because of that (even though they seen what she did, indicating that they hide in the true lab), so it's a complete crush of the image that Alphys have of herself, she changed a lot since Undyne begged her to help everyone to hide.
In other endings, there's not all this support that she got ; More the contrary, she keep receiving daily more and more angry letters from the families of the monsters she have in the true lab that still didn't went home or had their funerals.
I think that in some endings Alphys decided to jump to the abyss and in others she didn't and ran away instead. I feel like she did end her life in Mettaton ending, Undyne ending and Papyrus ending. She stayed in the ending in which you spared only one random encounter and in one in which you did the Undyne x Alphys sidequest but skipped the true lab. In rest she ran away to some other parts of underground.
Alphys commits suicide in all of the endings where Undyne an/or Mettaton die (excluding Genocide and the Alphys Ending, where they're both dead but Alphys doesn't die)
There is a neutral ending where Alphys calls you instead of sans.
Rainwingdrangon1 Yeah kill everyone but Mettaton I believe
kill everyone but muffet she is cute but wants money $_$
To get that ending, you must kill every main character except Muffet
Actually it's just if you kill all the main characters but abandon the genocide route. Muffet doesn't really change the story any more than any other monster does.
Or when you spare toriel then befriend papyrus, undyne, and alphys, sans called you. then papyrus, undyne, and alphys interrupt the conversation.
it kinda irks me how everyone keeps labeling alphys as depressed because she exhibits a lot more traits of anxiety disorders than depression. Feeling like you're not good enough. constant worrying and fear. Thinking everyone hates you and having trouble communicating and connecting in real life. alphys is most definitely the face of anxiety. (PS if anyone's looking for more characters accurately portraying anxiety Wilfred is an excellent place to start)
Sonnivate Wilfred from what?
Sonnivate I feel all of those constantly too.
Wilfred who?
i know this comment is a year old but depression and anxiety so often go together that it’s possible she could have both. they both feed off each other and make sense with her character, feeling deep guilt and regret and self loathing (a few depression symptoms) as well as trouble talking to people, frequently lying due to being worried what people will think if they knew the truth, stuttering, etc (some anxiety symptoms) are all a part of alphys
That’s me in a nutshell

Well, this is gonna get lost in the comments, and I'm sure almost no one scrolls very far through the comments, but I just want to say... I hide everything related to Undertale and info about the game I want to make myself from my parents, from the undertale game files on my computer, to who are the enemies in my game. It feels easier to tell on the internet, beacuse no one knows you in person, and they don't know where you live. It just feels much safer to say it all there instead of in real life to people you know.
Vault Boy I scrolled far enough to see this and I agree it better to tell people on the Internet that you dislike something because people won't know where you live if they get mad and telling people you know that you dislike it is not as good as telling people over the Internet
I think most people can relate to this like myself and others
Yyuuup!
@@Græybærd h-hey.....that's kinda (KINDAA OKAY?!?!?!?!) mean though
insert original name you're only 7 comments below
In one of the endings, Sans or Papyrus talks about how Undyne keeps muttering to herself about “how she couldn’t save her”, and I think that that is a talking point for this
Thanks so much for the ending Swanky.
I have been suffering multiple depressions and anxieties for the past 3 years living with my uncle since I am afraid of every action I do in this household. At one point, I thought of ending myself to not be a burden to myself and others.
But then, I started sharing my situation more to my mom and my girlfriend (thank you Sara) and I began to feel better. Even though I still clash with my uncle from time to time, it has got better since then.
Swanky is correct. If you're in a situation like Alphys or me and can't take it anymore, go find someone you trust the most to vent it all out. Don't be afraid that the person you vent to would feel uncomfortable. If they are willing to listen, they will listen and (if possible) give you advices to get you through.
Again, thank you so much for the ending statement Swanky. It means a lot to me.
EDH8900.
This comment is underrated, and I'm serious.
This comment should be pinned for others to see and feel better.
Oof
Noj
Yeah but the problem is when the depression become the final stage of depression. Is when you become deaf and blind cause if you try to help them they will live running away. And the worst os when you start getting schizophrenic(when you think everyone is you enemy and you have no friend) and even you showing it to them they will say "Fuck you" and start running away.
It's really hard to try and sometimes you can not be able to help them.
Some of them will start seeing this as a "truth" and don't look for help cause to them they will think "the life is sad and that's the truth!".
It's hard to talk to someone with depression and even more harder if this person is im the final stage.
If you guys have depression or think that you have please, go look for help while you guys still have control of your mind.
what if i dont have fucking anybody? my fucking family straight up told me they wish i'd die already. im lovin it.
I first got the neutral ending but I don't know why. I guess I missed something, but the game gave me a chance to go back and talk to Alphys and all that. Before her lab was locked so I couldn't go talk to her before ending the game the first time. I could relate to Alphys alot, I'm a huge nerd and have struggled with self esteem too. I can relate to Sans too after watching the genocide run (struggling with depression and lack of motivation due to knowing certain things).
oh I realize now, I didn't go to the garbage place, that's why. Not until they told me when I tried again, lol.
In the game, you always get a neutral ending first. If you do Pacifist completely, you will get the neutral ending and the game will allow you to just walk back to see Alphys.
I thought I did something wrong too because I got neutral ending when Flowey told me to not kill anyone the next play through

I got the feeling she was planning to commit suicide on that waterfall and undyne changed her mind, either intentionally or not, and that's why alphys grew to like undyne
I wish I could just give Alphys a hug, she needs one

You are gay bro
I think Alphys killed herself.
Gangster of San Andreas Game thats dark, but fair enough
Pandascheme Shocker
In one of the neutral endings, alphys calls you instead of sans.
I think he escaped from genocide ending
Blue Sheeep , your opinion makes less sense.
King Leo me too
I'd love to see a theory on Gaster (I know you've covered most of this) but the theories on the mysterious grey pixels that can be found around the game, and also the asterisk found on all characters text APART FROM Papyrus. now if it was sans I'd get it, but its pretty funny that in 90% of the sans and Gaster theories papyrus always destroys them for just existing, I love it.
A who is papyrus video would be awesome, he is my favourite ;) and I think more mysterious when it comes to his origins than the rest of the cast. At least sans seems to know where he is from.
Papyrus doesn't have an asterisk in his dialogue because it looks weird with his font. True story
Marshall Lee Abadeer well thats that sorted xD
PAPYRUS IS MY FAVORITE TOO! But I'm pretty sure you could tell by my name.
In other words, YES PLEASE DO A PAPYRUS VIDEO!
Fluttershy And Papyrus Preach it! :D
"mysteries grey pixels" NIGGA IT'S A FUCKING GREY SQUARE
My depiction of Alphys my first playthrough was
"ahah thr fuck what is this dinosaur ass dumb fukin ho lmao"
by the Pacifist Ending, I have to sit down for a second and be like, shit. She's me.
Hah me 2
As soon as I saw Alphys I was like "this is kind of me"
And then after "cute pic of me right now!" *its a picture of a garbage can with several pink, glittery filters on it
I was like "this is actually me."
Alphys would totally ship pearlmethyst
***** omggg I bet she would
+pearlmethystwhore same here, especially with her emotional issues
There is a possibility that Alphys decided to commit suicide but I don’t really want to talk about that though ‘cause Alphys can be such a relatable, and mysterious character. But ending it all is completely normal. And I’d think that this is a large possibility
wow.. wasn't expecting that ending note, you really turned this video into an inspiring message.
I love Alphys so much I can relate to her more than any character in any game I've played
Same
Same
There were too many times where I just thought that if I were in Frisk’s situation I would have given Alphys some encouraging words or a hug :’(
The pacifist is the true ending so i'm happy because no one died
The true pacifist ending is the most food ending your can get.
For some people even true pacifist run isn't good. Because Asriel.
But it's the most hardest run
the plot of undertale involves timelines so there's no real canon ending, if a player ever got a ending in one timeline, it can't be fixed ever. It's sad, but that's what makes the game so interesting
@@reaperdestt5099 On the switch, You can actually do a reset of the game. Erase every piece of data, every past playthrough, and start anew. Even Sans will forget.
please alphys don't be dead you are my favorite
Well it's a game that came out like 10 or 6 months ago so you can't change anything. :/
oh my god I loaf your pro pic :D
Alphys SUCK bcuz dey r ugly ana nerd, an she be suicidal XD

*How dare you. You really want someone to roast you,don't you?*
*You're the most ugliest youtuber in the world. the U in your profile picture stands for it.*
Here's my theory for Alphys's disappearance: In the True Lab, she left a note saying that she stays in the dump, sifting through trash, saying "it's [her] element". Now, remember that when the determination was injected into the other monsters, they sorta melted and fused together into each other to form the Amalgamates. From this, I believe that Alphys injected herself with determination in the dump, melted into a pile, and became her element: trash, reflecting her mental state, but being too afraid to actually kill herself by going over the falls. This would be why Mettaton couldn't find her: he likely wouldn't have thought Alphys was trash (or didn't know anything about the determination or its effects), Alphys would be easily able to hide away in the dump forever, and no one would be any the wiser.
Alphys

+Shannya Judd THIS PUN IS SO GOOOD!!!!!!!!!!

The fact that Alphys is suicidal and have very low self esteem really reminds me of my girlfriend who is as suicidal as her. She would always call herself stupid or useless when she mess something up and whenever she doesn't understand school work and ask me for guidance and she still doesn't get it after I explained it, she would be hard on herself and apologise to me. It really is depressing that some people have this kind of behaviour and I think we should do our best to help and support those who are feeling blue instead of criticising them
Why does your thumbnails look like ads?
+Iftach Katani - Someone else mentioned this too. I plan on revisiting them in the future, but if you could explain this a bit more it might help me figure out what to avoid doing.
+SwankyBox that yellow "box" on your logo looks really similar to youtube's ad symbol. It's really well done and professional looking with that faded white with the title and logo on top giving an artificial feel. That's all I could think of.
SwankyBox Its just the whole white box in the bottom that really makes you think this, you only realize it's not an add if you actually see the character in the rest of the thumbnail,

Lmao yea
What? :/
@Dr Alphys
She went trans and played as Grandpa Abe.
Personally, I think that Alphys was one of the most underrated characters. She reflected a lot of the traits that a younger audience can identify with (our love of technology, awkwardness, anxiety, depression, problems with self confidence)..(and love of anime lmao)
Even though alot of people can find similarities themselves with Sans's jokes, toriel's caring nature, frisk's determination, papyrus's cooking (which probably isn't that great haha), I think we all related with alphys at some point in our lives.
Feel important? Go to one of Pewdiepie's videos, comment and expect a response. You'll stop feeling important.
This is because there are far more important people out there, famous UA-camrs like even Swankybox that hang out with other famous youtubers, and just kinda brush us off. So, what are we?
I'll tell you what we are.
Numbers. Comments on their videos. Likes for their charts. We are but a statistic. The more that subscriber number goes up, the more they become and less we become.
But nobody will acknowledge it.
Who knows, maybe we should all meet the fate of Alphys during the Mettaton ending.
+The Gamer Guy 500 - Unfortunately UA-cam works against content creators in that same light. You may not see all my responses on things, but I do go through the comments daily. When it comes down to it though, I'm no different than anyone else. Sure I may have a following, but a few months ago I didn't. I'm still the same person I was back then, and really will try my best to not change as time goes on. I think seeing UA-camrs that I liked to watch change over time instilled a response in me to not be like them, so I'm hoping I can stay true to my word.
Outside of being a user on UA-cam you are a person though. You aren't just a number. You have your own thoughts, your own interests, and your own story. I may be SwankyBox online, but there's a person behind this screen as well, so I've often shared the same views and thoughts that you probably have. Followings don't really matter when it comes down to it. It's an added bonus if it happens, and while I appreciate it, I'm still doing this because I love to do it. If I didn't love making these videos, this channel probably would have disappeared a while ago. So in regards to that, I always want to empower people to chase their own dreams as well. If you shoulder the hero mentality, and that is, you do what you do because you feel it is right and it doesn't matter who knows you did it, than you can't really go wrong if what you do is pure enjoyment.
Sorry for the bit of a tangent, but all those thoughts just kind of poured out based on your comment. Please check out my Ohayocon 2016 video to see a bit more where I'm coming from. I've also never really hung out with another UA-camr, and 99% of my efforts to reach out to anyone in the space has ended up with them giving me the cold shoulder and never responding back. It's pretty unfortunate, so I can't blame you for adopting this view on things.
Thank you for at least understanding, and I appreciate that you actually care about your fans, but sometimes I feel like that's all we are. Fans. Nothing more. It's like Flowey's Kill Or Be Killed, it's not exactly wrong, but it's not right either I guess.
+The Gamer Guy 500 - I also don't think that is negative either though. Being a fan means that you like something and that you find it generally interesting. If you get enjoyment out of someone who makes videos, artwork, or games, than there isn't anything to feel bad about. It's just one of the many things that you may find enjoyable. On the flip side of things, knowing someone finds my videos enjoyable warms my heart. I'm glad that someone finds my content worth watching, and hearing that someone thinks what I do is cool really makes me feel good. It also gives me the power to keep producing more stuff. But even without that support, I still think I would do it because it is fun for me. It gives me a chance to relive my childhood, which is something a lot of people often take for granted until they get older. So in that regards, knowing that my videos resonate with other people, makes me feel validated and not alone, because I discovered that I'm not the only one who thinks that way.
+The Gamer Guy 500 But you're going to a Pewdiepie video tho. That's like going to a JB concert and trying to spark a conversation. Pewd's comment fan base is pure chaos
Why did I get a demon Chara vibe from this?
In a neutral ending wehre you befriend Undyne and Alphys, she appears as well. Im sure it has to do with her secret project in Hotlands.

+* Sans Uhh, Your Brother Is trying to capture me, he thinks I am a moron human when I am far from my home land in the underground sea.
+The Friendly Spycrab
Welcome to the underground...Haha...hahaha...
An interesting topic with a heart felt message, even the oddest of characters can inspire inspiration huh? Loved the video Swanky inspiring work :D
+SnowKnowsShow - Glad you enjoyed it! Looking forward to your Undertale video as well!
you'll be the first to know :D
+SwankyBox I'm one who does deal with depression but I'm trying to fight the thought of suicide and giving up in life but when I'm playing gta or other games I start getting distracted about life but the one person who stop me getting distracted from life is my dad and I start getting depressed and un-sociallable and later on I start to realize what is life and trying to figure out the meaning of it. Ant thank you swanky box for this video it reflected a lot in my life and I am only 11.
+HolyGaming I know how you feel but instead of gaming it's watching the people I looks up to. Jack(septiceye) and the others.
+HolyGaming I know how your feeling and I'm only 11 as well but there's one motor I always keep to: where I am (you in this scenario) people will be there for me no matter how big the problem is.
Oh my god, I'm just crying. Thanks for the help at the end of the video..!
+JunimMB2 - Sorry for making you cry! It is absolutely true though!
I was once where swanky is talking about at the end of the video, I watch this then and believed that there was no light but I did find it after a while and now I am happy. For all those people out there like that don't give up stay determined for all those you love even if they are gone, like I did.
I Think alphys kills herself if you kill undying or mettaton
Thats lie
@@Nin.. but in the ending where you only kill mettaton undyne said that she couldn't save her
@@acesanimations7902 Okay
since were cant explain if alphys is dead or not
its BIG BRAIN time
It isn’t confirmed by Toby Fox if Alphys committed suicide, but it is highly implied that she did. Also fun fact: The only neutral ending where Alphys doesn’t disappear is if you start a genoicde route, but stop it after Undyne the Undying, then she becomes king
There LITTERLY my only friends :/
I understand that not many people like Alphys, but i kind of see myself in her...
I'm glad you made a video about her. It really fills me determination. (sorry but even if it is an already overused reference it's still the best one to use)
+JadeRoseofChaos I see what you mean, but personally i would forgive someone for doing something like that if they truly regret it.
Jesus Christ the end got me hard....
I honestly can't thank you enough for that. its hard finding someone you can trust for help when you won't see them for a long time, but now I kinda feel like I can at least find someone else for now :)
thanks again, haha!
+Chicohonut - Taking the first steps is the hardest part. When you're in the midst of depression, it is impossible to see anything beyond the present moment and what you're feeling. You pretty much have to act against what your heart is telling you and it is by far one of the hardest things to do.
SwankyBox
omg thank you that's what I needed for the day ;v;
WAIT WTF CHICO WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE OAO!
I think Alphys killed herself because in the true pasifist (sorry if misspelled it) she said that she would've run away and do something 'cowardly' with someone like me struggling with suicidal thoughts it is proof that she took her own life in the nutrural route
But it's only my opinion so please no hate comments I'm already suffering depression and anxiety and low self-esteem so PLEASE no hate comments thanks
Mario Martinez poor thing, DONT. EVER. THINK THAT WAY. PEOPLE LOVE YOU!! YOU MAY NOT THINK IT, BUT LOTS OF PEOPLE LOVE YOU!!!
@@Luziferuz_ Hey it's okay I'm recovering so don't worry I'll be alright thanks for showing that you care though.
you don't need to repeat yourself
just saying
@@anastas11ace80 I'm glad that I'm not alone 😊
@@pollenzx you're right thank you.
Alphys texts wouldn't be so bad if you could walk while they came up. That about my only complaint for the whole game.
+Chase H - That's a good point! But Frisk may have fell into the lava at Hotland if they were walking while staring at their phone screen!
+SwankyBox
That's true, Frisk is a very careful person
I am 100% like alphys because I like anime, am depressed, and super shy. I also felt like taking my own life when I was younger.
I almost commit suicide because I failed grade 6 and got my favourite computer taken away
+Pk Ness123 (XxmegamanxX) Do you like to lay in the floor feeling like garbage?
Yes
i do.
im depressed and just lay down
I'm similar to Sans.like 50%
I like to think Alphys was inspired by Otacon from MGS
+Archer Bennington Otacon?do you read me Otacon?
SNAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!
Archer Bennington i am at the "snake point"
kept you waiting huh?
+PKCtamol It's like one of my Japanese animes.
+Lucas Leicher Do you watch Akidearest? cause she did the face in ur profile pic in one of her videos
Alphys lives in that small cottage at Snowdin
I thought alphys lived in the lab
@Devon Batiste do lizards live in warmer places? Idk if they do
@@regularhooman1568 Lizards do in fact live in hot areas as they are cold-blooded.
@@TimTamSlam7 maybe I am a loozard
Didn't Alphys commit Suicide in genocide? I'm not sure myself, it would make sense I guess but nothing was really pointing at it to me, I just saw people talk about it.
+Sergeant Flipper In near-genocide ending, she became the queen due to her actions saving many underground inhabitants to the point that her actions in the lab were forgiven. I assume that she was still hiding when Asgore was killed but I don't know if she was watching your actions or not.
She evacuates all of the town NPCs into the True Lab, as Mettaton says when you go into the lab in Genocide.. as artman40 said, she becomes ruler in the near genocide ending. She says she decided she had to "do the right thing, even if it meant everybody had to find out about my secrets.", implying they went to the true lab.
Brian Orozco It's the ending you get if you go Genocide but don't kill all the monsters in Hotland.
Brian Orozco Yeah, and you cancel your genocide run in hotlands, and when sans calls you he gives the phone to Alphys.
+TheGamerManDudeGuy uhmm.. this is supposed to be full genocide. heh..
Were the shots from 4:11 - 4:17 taken from the Natural Bridge Caverns in Texas?
That they were! I took a trip there before and tried to get a few shots. Quite the amazing place!
+SwankyBox My daughter and I visited there a few weeks ago. As soon as we saw the video, we knew exactly which rooms they were from. That was a very beautiful and impressive part of our vacation! They made for an excellent addition to the video.
It's truly a small world! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video, and thanks for inquiring about the caverns!
E
yes it was it's nice there
I feel as if I’m a mix of Papyrus, Napstablook, and Alphys. If I had to choose who I relate to the most though, it’d definitely be her.
So this went from a video discussing Alphys and undertale to an inspirational video
but still, I enjoyed it
I think she did a 360 off the briage and said o N O
REALLY
Stop
.-.
💯/10
Haf life
2:30
Alphys is standing more near the edge than the others...?
ITS A THEORY A GAME THEORY..... sorry I know its the wrong channel but I had to
Click bait theory?
+Boris perfect
Popgoes The Weasel hi
you mean
BUT HEY, IT'S JUST A THEORY! A GAME THEORY!
matpat much?
GAIJIN GOOMBAH
Poor alphys... she is one of my favorite characters, and i knew she had anexiety and social interacrion issues... when her best friend died, she must have been devestated from that. I'm feeling bad for her. I don't want her to feel bad😩
don't worry alphys i too think it is easier to make friends online then real life
perhaps a theory on what year it is? I know people say it's 2015 but there's evidence against that like when you press info on the toy knife it says "a toy knife made out of plastic, quite rare these days"
*in undertale
Plastic Is rare because its materials are rarely harvested and most pre made plastic is over the barrier where monsters without human souls cannot go
Yeah, I was going to defend my theory but my phone just died of battery and I can't be bothered to re-write it
+Aiden Drew maybe because Toy Knives don't get made because there dangerous
+CiaranPixelz or maybe, the "date" they gave us is just a simple equasion.
POOR ALPHYS! I LOVE ALPHYS
Yea, me too ;-;
Me too bro, -w-
All day all the way anime
Sorry it sounds horrible
Alphys is my favourite Undertale character
"Spear throwing fish ladies"
*_FOR THE LAST DAMN TIME, YOU THROW JAVELINS NOT SPEARS_*
I think it's a spear because her theme is "SPEAR of justice"
And when you date Alphys, she gives you items and one of them are magical SPEAR repair kit...
I have a theory that maybe she was punished for having betrayed the monsters in undertale by helping you, as their overall goal was to kill each human who enters. She could have ben set in prison or perhaps executed. Your theories are good too, and I guess just as valid
Should most of the underground be dead including all authority’s
Or maybe she just committed suicide. Asgore wouldn't do such a thing unless the entire rest of the underground forced him.
Not gonna lie, I was recently in a position extremely similar to that of Alphys in the game. It passed for the most part; I am in recovery as I type this now. I gave Undertale a try, after my strong hatred for the game because of the fact that all I knew about it was what the fandom presented, and after... The trauma passed. I almost instantly loved Alphys; I related to her in almost every way. I even accidentally melted people together. No I didn't. But she is to this day my favorite character.
If you only spare Muffet, Alphys. . .
I won't spoil it.
Even if I was 7 years late at watching this, I still like your vid, it didn't only talk about the secrets of the underground, but had a lesson that connect to your own life too.
Vondarhaar made her kill herself...
when he sold her Infinite Warfare and 45 supply drops for 69.99$
No puns omfg ur not sans
What do you mean by puns?
+Freddy Fazbear bad jokes
+Freddy Fazbear faceplam
+Freddy Fazbear it's Activision not vondy who are jerks for money
Alphys is legit me irl
Pineapple really
Sad
Pineapple me 2 :(
Pineapple same
Sooo your a nervous, depressed, awkward, emotional wreck?
People: lol alphys is good lolol ol
Gaster: dumb dinosaur lizard, you ruined my lab
In a neutral ending where you kill mettaton, but spare everyone else, Papyrus talks about how Undyne wants to get revenge on you because of “what happened to Alphys. She keeps saying things like, ‘It’s their fault she’s gone’”
This proves alphys killed herself in at least one neutral ending
Alphys is special to me because she seems to have social anxiety disorder, the same as me.
Alphys def did the first thing us and Undyne kept her going even in the genocide run she was stopping us from hurting any other people because of Undyne. When Undyne died and we left I'm sure she did it even the best netrual she still held the guilt of the true lab so i feel mostly if we didn't do pasfict she would of never got over that guilt so very possible she took her life
Make a Vegetoid theory how Flowey talks but Vegetoid says "Plants Can't Talk Dummy"
Maybe....because Flowey has a SOUL?
Complete true pacifist for the answer
someone made a video and replaced vegetoid with toriel and says plants can't talk dummy
+Emanuel Costa Flowey actually has no soul, he was created through Alphys and her Determination experimentation. She injected DT (Determination) into a golden flower in her lab, and Flowey was born, without a soul, and could not feel anything. No happiness. No sadness. Nothing.
+Noah Javaruski No, Asriel died and his dust spread into the golden flowers, then he was reborn as a flower, but with no feeling or emotion. Notice how him and flowey say Howdy!
In the ending where you only kill mettaton it is implied that alphys does take her own life when papyrus mentions undyne saying things like "I couldn't protect her" obviously implying she's not with them
That's why I love Alphys. I am kind of like her. I am going through lot's of Depressions, emotions... sadness. I like Alphys because she is nice. And while being nice. She doesn't get anything from it. If this was real life. I would already be with her. Be her slave (In a good way). And a friend. Best friend. But yeah. That's all I wanted to say. o^,..,^o
awwwn
+Simona Andreica
1- Alphys is a girl
2- Mettaton changes his shape when Frisk flips his switch
Alphys looks kinda like the one who has trouble with ban-nana's. Get it? No? Okay i'll go to my corner... (Again)
Suicide. She has so much backstory that relates to this end.
Imagine living the life of a Weeb, watching anime because you have nothing to do, have but never use your intelligence, program a killer robot, making many mistakes, and have a crush on a fish in armor. Not the typical role model. Proves school isn’t the solution to our insanity
You did not just put Undyne next to a Gurren Lagann character. I love you now and forever because of that.
