* TheSociopath: UpToEleven with Flowey in this fic. While he does show some of his TragicVillain traits, make no mistake, this features him at his absolute nastiest. He even [[PlayingTheVictimCard uses his tragic backstory]] [[WoundedGazelleGambit as a way to manipulate Papyrus]]. All without even a remote hint of remorse. There's a reason the fic has the following tag:
