#king of the underground

♥️ King of Hearts and Souls ♥️ (UNDERTALE Spoilers)

Oh, the king / Gone mad within his suffering
Called out for release / Someone cure him of his grief
His only son / Cut down, but the battle won
Oh, what is it worth / When all that’s left is hurt? 

Queen of Peace – Florence + The Machine
♥️
The duality. Of ASGORE, the brutal monster who takes human SOULs to never escape. And the kindly King; beloved and burdened to break the Barrier.

[Image Description: All show an illustration of a King of Hearts card suit, white text on black base, but with 2 different portraits of King Asgore, split diagonally by a red trident. One is the goat man King in detail: flames, purple cape & his hair whips around him. He has a water lily-like gold crown & winged gold regalia, its red center gem reflect flames & triangles. Expression is worried, guilty. Blue & orange eyes reflect upside down hearts, irises shaped like 6-petaled flowers. The other is Asgore the monster as a cyan & orange silhuette with spiral horns, billowy beard, & the barrier behind him. 6 previous souls float beside him in a curve, the largest red & about to be grasped by a giant clawed hand, that wraps around the trident. It looks like it belongs to either portrait. With King upright, palm is turned down, reaches, hesitant, almost shields the red soul, & the trident points down in attack. With monster upright, trident points up, at rest, & palm is up, as if he’s already taken each soul. Image 1 hints at another card of Undyne as Knight of Spades. End ID.]
