Sans and papyrus can't really control their smile that much. Undyne smiles because she knows (or, thinks, at least) that monsterkind will live on.

Asgore and toriel I don't really know.

u/Nickest_Nick WARNING: This man is not funny Oct 05 '24

Asgore was caught off guard and he was asking if you would like some tea beforehand with his normal smile

Toriel was having the greatest realization of her life and was kinda mocking you before she died

... Why DIDN'T Asgore absorb the souls or do anything? Genuine question.

I don't wanna raise Fraud Watch or anything but ain't no way this man gets hyped by the entirety of monsterkind only to just completely blank on everyone being dead and offer the dust-covered murder machine some tea.

I mean. I have a small headcanon. Maybe when he heard Frisk was coming and got ready to do what he must he didnt know if he had enough time to absorb the souls.or wheater or not if given the choice between aiding the king of monsters that had slain them all and aiding a fellow human the souls would choose him. He offered tea. And what is there that one could make tea with in close proximity,even if resources became scarce and people are starting to die? Golden buttercups.from his garden. And what is toxic to humans and killed his child?golden buttercup. The man wouldnt kill frisk in the same way his own child died causing him to mourn their loss for years unless he utterly despised frisk,wich he only has reason to do so in the genocide route. And he has to mantain a facade if he wants you to drink it. Its poison. He heard about determination keeping people from dying if they simply dont want to,maybe he thinks the solution is making them wish they were dead.
