Why are Frisk's eyes closed?

[What Would Spock Do]

Is the idea that she's unconscious from the fall or something like that? None of the other characters have closed eyes?

frisk is ded. i mean how do you fall down a mountin and survive?

Exactly why I figured they were unconscious

maybe the game is her spirit's journey back to her body to come back to life.
Maybe she's able to recieve those phone calls about what happens after she leaves the monster world because she's still stuck down there, trying to reach 911 and calling out for somebody to get her back out.

Their sprite is too small to have eyes that appear "open". Frisk would look really weird with eyes the size of the other characters... Here I found this on the internet. its probably not acurate but who cares its freakin me out.

Middle one looks ok. Red eyes make it look peculiar though.

My opinion on the matter.
1]To allow the player to project themselves upon the main character without physical appearance, ethnicity, gender, etc being an issue.

2]To allow the player to project their emotions/feelings onto the main character without the character's dialogue or facial expression going against what the players feels.

3]To maintain the appearance of a simplistic game so you drop your guard and get surprised when the crazy stuff happens. so things like fourth wall breaks, neutral final boss , etc. are more effective.

TC (and anyone else with only neutral or no complete runs) SHOULD STOP READING THIS REPLY AT THIS POINT. I'd spoiler the whole thing, but you can't spoiler within a spoiler.
EDIT-Apparently you can spoiler within a spoiler. Thanks for the heads up. END EDIT

4]Not listed due to spoilers, out of respect for the game. Even if TC decides to spoil in the thread title. But seriously, the game has been out for more than a month after it's first Christmas season, so if that spoiled, it's 80% your own damn fault and 20% the communities fault since it's not something that, out of context, would scream SPOILER like the infamous "FF7 Disc 1" spoiler.

The 20% comunity fault is for not having a predefined elaborate ruse to handwave it off like "That part is glitched and crashes if in fullscreen mode" or "there's no canon name, it's just a fan name that became popular due to a comic where they were frisky with flirted with everything."


And also, TC has gone done spoiled themself. At least they had the intellect to NOT activate the 1:17million (or was that 1:190billion) "random" chance of "accidentally" triggering HARD MODE via making use of the spoilers they do know.

Be good, alright.

Why does the fandom always give Frisk red eyes?

[Itzcoatl]

Cuz its the color of her soul?

Nope, you can. Tried it before :)

Well I like the theory that the character you control is actually Chara's dead body. (hear me out!)

Chara dies from buttercup poisoning (yellow skin), and is originally bandaged and placed in the coffin at the castle. You learn from Flowey that Toriel must have taken the body back with her when she went to live in the ruins. When you first start playing you still have a gooey bandage on you. That links up with the mummy wrappings in the coffin.
And Chara says of the coffin in the castle, "It's as comfortable as it looks." They've been there before.

Also, Chara says at the end of a genocide run "I am the demon who comes when it's name is called", meaning when you name the fallen human you are calling out to their disembodied soul to reunite with its body.

And that (I think) is why it's Chara's name (Chara as in whatever you called them) appears on your battle screen, even though at the end of pacifist they refer to themselves as Frisk - over the course of pacifist they have decided to leave their old personality behind through your mentoring, and reinvent themselves as Frisk.


Tl;dr: There's a bunch of stuff in the game which suggests you basically control a zombie child, who naturally has a slightly 'dead' expression.

But that's just a theory - a gaaaaame theory!!!

[Crystalitar]

I agree with rookie. Its a theory i higly support as well. It also goes together with the chara narrator theory as well

[jonthemaster]

see i am gud idea man.

Frisks eyes are open...those are his eyebrows (mabey)

[MysticMalevolence]

Chara's eyes are pretty much the same, just turned on their side.
Would you say that Chara's eyes are closed sideways? No.

When I think about omega flowey I think yes.

[baltosaa]

It's because you're supposed to project yourself onto Frisk.

This includes emotional reactions.

Not that mysterious....
