And illustration of my interpretation of the Narrator Chara theory. In particular, the stars (save points from the game) at the top reminding us of giant looming eyes, and the chains leading down and towards the viewer of the piece, linking us together with these characters.
I like the theory, although from what I’ve seen, interpretations vary on whether the player (you/me/us) play a part in it. I think it/we do. It’s not just Frisk/The Human that we puppeteer and corrupt in the No Mercy run, and it’s not that Chara/The Fallen Human is by default an evil influence as narrator, eventually becoming a Destroyer of Worlds unless we steer them away.
No. The player steers Chara as well as Frisk towards evil. In other words:
you fucked up some perfectly good kids is what you did. look at them. they’ve got No Mercy
