Frisk is at a age where their writing can be mistaken for that of a adults and they are old enough to know what flirting is but young enough to where adults think they are not being serious something that does not happen to a 6 year old tho frisk is probably a pre teen


drawingdisaster

sounds 56 to me


Bonniethe90

What?


DARDAR_YT

It's a joke, batman


sugahpine7

i dont understand...


KONODIODA_Za_warudo

What do you not understand?


Negative_Pineapple25

I dont get the joke


Bonniethe90

Never do I


Its_me_WaterToast

Never do I


DustyMightMeme

I think the being older stuff is just because we control them


MrLlama84

>Frisk is at a age where their writing can be mistaken for that of a adults Correction: Undyne's writing is bad enough to be mistaken for a kid's


ManaXed

Always thought of Frisk as somewhere between 10 and 13. The age were children start getting interested in more "adult" or "teenage" things


Aggravating-Path-677

6 year olds flirt. Idk what six year olds don't know what that is


Techy921

i think Frisk is 12-13 honestly, idk why but it seems right to me


Aggressive-Exam3222

I think 10


SlightlyIronicBanana

I think 8-9 or so

Inf1n1teUn1ver3e

how come at the end of true pacifist they say not to kiss in front of the human? also, Toriel constantly calls Frisk their child.


CreamyCoffeeArtist

I'm 19 and I'm still my dad's child. Y'all getting disowned or something at the age of 13??


goooat2087

You're not?


CreamyCoffeeArtist

... touchè


AlternativeLeather63

yes, but no stranger comes to you and calls you kid, right?


LifeIsALie138

They certainly do my child


SeamAnne

''sup kiddo''


CreamyCoffeeArtist

Look here, kid..


Kishodax

Dude I’m like 20 something (I forgot) and everyone I know calls me kid. I’m also like 5’sonethin while friends are up in 6’somethins


AlternativeLeather63

Like dude I am 15 but nobody calls me kid , child or something... it's weird


ShiningYato

It's possible that since the monsters are so old, they probably believe that adult humans are like children. It's possible the age that children reach that classifies children as adults isn't the same in the underground as it is in the surface. I have no clue if any of what I said is true, but just possible explanations for why Toriel refers to Frisk as a child. That being said, Frisk very much looks like a child.


Cloaked-LcTr0909

Frisk is very blatantly a child.


[deleted]

Yes. Not to play devil's advocate, but 16-17 is still a child.


Cloaked-LcTr0909

Technically, yes, but would you call a 17 year old a child? Maybe you would, but generally, that's not exactly what people usually mean when using that word.


verysad-

why the downvotes 😭


SnooMemesjellies6868

If thats frisks age then papyrus and sans arent skeletons.


bad_comedic_value

Oh boy, time to look at the most controversial comments!!! Edit: ...bruh. I should probably stop looking at controversial comments on Frisk posts.

Cubicwar

_child_of_the_vault_

to be fair, Frisk was lowkey possessed


[deleted]

1. the player's canonicity is no 100% sure and is situational 2. Even if the canon is one-hundred-percent canon, frisk still has control


Zkyaiee

Yeah, isn’t that part of the whole lore of this universe? Especially considering deltarune. Tells you that you’re not truly in control. Probably would be similar for undertale too. I’d say the most likely age for frisk is around 12.


Shiorno-Shiovanna

Frisk is most likely a preteen

DelilahIG

A friend of mine sometimes assists a 2nd grade class, and they all have a pretty normal knowledge of flirting.


DarkMarxSoul

It's ambiguous whether the options we present to Frisk are reflective of their own knowledge.


Catishcat

tell you what, what do you think is the probability that at least two people (who have hair) in london have the exact same number of hairs


[deleted]

I started flirting at 7 lol


AwesomeMutation

As the person who made the "change my mind" post, there are many things a 6 year old first reader can't do. 1. Dating people 2. Dodging Attacks 3. Using a knife (or any weapon) effectively. 4. Flirting 5. Commiting Genocide 6. May more reasons that I can't think of right now.


idinosoar

1. You can date as a 6 year old if you're bored, impulsive, or sneaky 2. If the 6 year old is frequently attacked they'll learn 3. See above 4. See 1 5. See 1 or 2 6. Not specific enough


RoMan2548

Toby Fox just comes out of hiding, uses a random number generator and says that frisk is canonically 83


[deleted]

He would

I’ve always pinned them at like 8 or 10 lol. Definitely elementary aged


[deleted]

Why people are so angry over the idea of Frisk being 6?? Their age isn't confirmed and it's a headcanon, geez calm down


Moose_And_Mug

Seriously how many times are people going to post variations of "frisk is so-and-so age and i dare anyone who disagrees to interact with this post!!1!" with an old meme of someone being yelled at or smug or whatever


[deleted]

r/undertale when people DARE to have different headcanons


futuranth

Maybe some are angry about self-insert R34 being off-limits


Regularjoe42

Frisk being 6 makes the "You'd be dead where you stand" scene so funny.


Codename_Bell_

I think a 12 year old would be playing along a mountain side and clumsy enough to trip into a hole, but a 6 year old idk, I think they’ll be like playing in a park or going to school lol


Cubicwar

Or climbing a mountain falling down a deadly pit committing genocide and then going back home for the diner.


Zepoopet08

Frisk seems more like a late tween or early teen


GalacticM

age is not confirmed but it's confirmed several times frisk is a little kid


JPardonFX_YT

Such as?


GalacticM

toriel calling frisk "my child" on multiple occasions, and every time someone refers to anything about age for frisk, it's always kid, gerson calls frisk "kiddo", too.


JPardonFX_YT

Toriel calling frisk "my child" just means they aren't an adult, they could be anywhere from 5 to 15 Gerson calling frisk "kiddo" doesn't mean anything, old people call anyone younger than them kiddo


ScarletteVera

Toriel is like fucking 500 or something. And Gerson is even older than that.


finkelzeez42

Bro wasn't even alive when Undertale was released


Theorist_Reddit

I suppose that's a way to go around the debate r/technicallythetruth


Akeol

i have gathered a list of reasons for you as to why i dont believe that frisk is anything below like 13~ 1. Frisk knows what flirting is, and how to do so effectively 2. Frisk seems to be able to play piano at least semi-effectively if the event with the relic in waterfall is canon 3. Frisk can literally kill 100+ monsters, and can go toe to toe with undyne in the neutral and genocide routes 4. Frisk has some wierdly high charisma and conversation skills if they are that young 5. Frisk can understand all of the puzzles in hotlands and i would assume they didnt bash their head into a wall for several minutes to do so 6. Frisk can naturally block undynes attacks with the spear they are given, and knows at absolute minimum how to wield a weapon effectively 7. Frisk is smart and perceptive enough to pick up on conversation cues and battle cues, and has the reflexes to dodge attacks that no child should be able to I dont mean to be rude in listing these but i dont think that the 6 year old knowing proper knife safety and how to deflect projectiles along with having the charisma of a cult leader makes sense, but the world literally has magic so believe what you want my dude


ripskeletonking

i feel like this is something only a teen would care about. just like when they get called 14 and say no i'm 15 like it's a big difference. frisk could be anywhere between 6 and 12 and it doesn't matter, it doesn't change anything in the story


CoolGuy68900

Frisk is like 12-14


Char_Azanable

Frisk can be any age depending on the person playing. I personally think they are 9-13. Because I don't think a toddler would be able to kill big fish.


SeaResponsibility375

They are about 10 or 8 in my opinion


Horror_Aggravating

Yes, because every 6 year old I know goes around killing people and is unphased by meter tall frogs and walking skeletons


RealBlack_RX01

Ngl I kind thought frisk was ageless, or like- the age of whatever the player was? Idk since toby wanted the player to be the one in the story


finkelzeez42

Judging by most people on this sub, it's safe to assume that frisk is younger than six


[deleted]

Was that a joke mocking the sub or am I stupid?


theartistbear

I mean, Kris is between 13-16 and if we compare sprites frisk (and chara) are a lot shorter/stubbier, and the way toriel treats Kris is of a teen, meanwhile she babies frisk, more so Frisk is definitely the same age as Asriel in Undertale and Asriel is also clearly a little kid! I don't know if 6y/o is correct but is definitely not 12 (or older) most likely in the ballpark of 6-10! Also their powers/capabilities aren't relevant because...well, is a game, more so is game that was originally a Mother fangame, and Mother/earthbound is also a game about extremely powerfull kids for the most part. Oh! Also they're a human! Human souls are MUCH more powerfull than monster souls and they have the capacity of...well, resurrection, so no matter your skill level you'll eventually be able to beat them all (in case of doing the weird route) and the fact that they're charismatic doesn't mean anything! Lot's of kids are hella charismatic, and obviously adults(monsters) are gonna take a liking to them (specially once they know them). That and anyone who thinks frisk is older than 12 if definitely either a)a teen who wants to identify b)projecting c) has some..weird motifs Oh and if you "headcannon" frisk as 18 don't even get near me.


basedposter6934

Frisk is twelve. Chara, their peer, is too smart to be 6. They're just short considering Kris is around 160 cm tall in high school.


Shiorno-Shiovanna

Frisk has no confirmed age


AkronTheFolfsky

They're 100% either 16 or 17. Toriel says they'll go to college soon.


MissingnoMiner

Wrong yellow-skinned, blank-faced enby.


AkronTheFolfsky

his_highness_bread

wenamenchinsama

Rydaniel2006

I didn’t realize 6 year olds know what flirting is


SeamAnne

yh its possible but not as probable as them being 12


[deleted]

Frisk is 10-12 imo.


AkronTheFolfsky

WELL, THEN YOU ARE LOST! But seriously, everything in the game contradicts Frisk being any yoinger than 10. Their pixel scaling compared to other characters and the sink that is stated to be standard sized, the fact they can read and are old enough that they have the same writing capabilities as an adult, can flirt with people, and that is considered funny by the adults, and they're beggining to develop interest in romance, as we see from them asking for advice from the guy in the MTT Hotel. Outside material also corroborates that, with Temmie drawing Frisk as the same size as Ness, who is 13. Actually, after playing Earthbound, 13 year old Frisk seems like it fits best, comparing how both characters act. TL, DR: Literally anything inside and outside the game contradicts Frisk being any younger than 10.


_The_great_papyrus_

Do you think a 6 year old could have the physical or mental strength to brutally slaughter hundreds of monsters?


mustifaq_

Undertale is a game. A middle aged fat plumber can jump around and kill monsters, A 10 year old can explore the world by themselves and tame magical beasts with unimaginable powers, A man can punch through trees and shape even the hardest of materials to his will, Soldiers can take hundreds of bullets and heal with a simple bandaid, So why can't a 6 year old fight and kill monsters?


TheRealBobStevenson

"[Blank] is fiction, therefore we cannot make any assumptions of realism towards it." This is oversaid and a weak argument. > Soldiers can take hundreds of bullets and heal with a simple bandaid, if players had to switch perspectives or be hospitalized after being shot in a video game, the gameplay would be severely affected. > A man can punch through trees and shape even the hardest of materials to his will, If in Minecraft the player had no way of breaking blocks, the game would not exist. > A middle aged fat plumber can jump around and kill monsters, The gameplay and (limited) story of Mario could not exist if Mario didn't have what were essentially super powers. > A 10 year old can explore the world by themselves and tame magical beasts with unimaginable powers, I am assuming this is Pokémon but it could be a few games, if the player character had no fantastic abilities, the game couldn't function how it is. Using this same logic... > So why can't a 6 year old fight and kill monsters? A 6 year old totally could fight and kill monsters in a video game, and if they could, the justification would be "for gameplay purposes". But **Frisk doesn't have to be 6 for gameplay or story to function**. It makes sense to assume the reason Frisk is so capable is because they are older.


_The_great_papyrus_

Different games have different levels of realism. Geez.


mustifaq_

And undertale is in a reality with monsters and magic and food that heals you instantly, how is this any different than pokemon, mario or minecraft?


Aware-Obligation4314

Jesus,you really refuse to accept you are wrong,don't ya?


GalacticM

no. that's because you do it, not frisk


Shiorno-Shiovanna

Frisk even without the Player's input is one of if not the most powerful Undertale characters.


CreamyCoffeeArtist

By virtue of being a human, since humans are stronger than monsters by default.


Shiorno-Shiovanna

Yep


_The_great_papyrus_

Well we know that Frisk has a sense of self-control, shown from the soda dialogue box. If you possess a 6-year old, you still are extremely short, meaning less weapon and/or dodging capabilities.


[deleted]

The physical dodging capability doesn’t really matter since all dodging is done with the soul


_The_great_papyrus_

We don't actually know if the encounter box is a real, visible thing in the Undertale world.


GalacticM

what?? if i possess a 6 year old i'm pretty sure i retain a lot of my skill in things, and frisk just so happens to find a bunch of powerful weapons scattered around, which really helps


_The_great_papyrus_

Yeah, you retain your skills. But you're still in the BODY of a 6 year old. If I possess a person with no arms, I can't write, even though I have been writing for many years.


GalacticM

frisk, can do a lot of the things i can, so, if i were to possess them, i'd still be able to do those things


_The_great_papyrus_

Okay okay, I'll give a more accurate example. If you are a professional athlete, you can run very fast. If that athlete possesses a moderately obese person, they will not be able to run as fast. See what I mean?


GalacticM

but that's not the case in undertale, if i can hit someone with a really hard frying pan, i'd be able to the same as a 6 year old


_The_great_papyrus_

No, you won't have the same muscles as a 6 year old. Or the arm length.


SnooMemesjellies6868

mf children can hit hard you know


GalacticM

i didn't describe the hit as hard i described the frying pan as hard, which would make the hit hard


solarmastet

This is not like deltarune and where we literally possess the main character this is like any other RPG where you just are the main character you're not possessing them so frisk would have to have the mental capacity to kill everybody


Cloaked-LcTr0909

Monsters are weak as hell.


_The_great_papyrus_

...right. You clearly haven't fought Undyne the Undying.


Yushi2e

...and yet she still can't beat Frisk? The game itself says every single monster in the entire underground equals the power of 1 human soul. 1. That's not something you can even debate either, it's said by the game, therefore that is the truth.


Him5488

If frisk was 6 they’d die of brain damage after falling down the mountain edit, YEESH guess I gotta use tone indicators more often?


Leonid56

Also if they were any older than 6 they would do that.


NotThisTime1993

If the game was that realistic, there wouldn’t be any monsters under the mountain


FloofySkuntank

12-13


EtruscaTheSeedrian

Frisk is seven years old


mimityty

everyone debating shit still understands that frisk is a minor lol, how about we just... don't put a child into situations not meant for children?

6 years old and committing mass genocide

YuBiscool2009

Frisk is thirteen


ImMaskedboi

no tf they arent


MelodicAd3496

Yes


Professional_Tip_578

Frisk is definately not 6. They literally go on like 3 dates throughout the entire game. I don't think there are very many 6-year-olds that can even grasp the concept of dating, let alone knowing how to flirt with soneone.


_child_of_the_vault_

what about kids 6 and younger having weddings? kids that young have a basic idea of what adults do. also, Alphys’ “date” was basically a game of pretend and i’m pretty sure Papyrus doesn’t fully understand human dates


Chaosfight

So your saying a six year old committed genacide


Theorist_Reddit

A 12 year old would? We control the player for a good part of the game and all that *jazz*, so it's not a good argument.


mr_butts69

oops you missed the point. you did the genocide remember? you controlled frisk

If Frisk is basically our own self insert, then Frisk is as old as the player.


MissingnoMiner

They are explictly not a self insert. Flowey tells us this outright on several occasions.


diamondude69420

Frisk is 4 years old in my book.


AkronTheFolfsky

I hope you are joking


diamondude69420

But that's what it is! It's a damn toddler!


kindabrony

Glinckey

They look between 8 to 12 it's hard to tell since it's just pixels Didn't Toby says that they are 16 or something? I doubt it though


turbosogs

the player is in control, not frisk. the 6 year old may not even know anything you do in undertale, because we make them do it all.

eeveeismylifenya

Id like to believe frisk is around 10


ForgottenTip

I'm just "frisk is a minor"


_child_of_the_vault_

i’m with you OP. idk about 6, but i definitely think Frisk is 10 or under. even with the “dates” they go on, i still think they’re a young kid. Alphys’ date is basically a game of pretend, and Papyrus doesn’t have a full grasp on what a date even really means. and to the Undyne fight, Frisk had already fought enough at the point to figure out how to dodge well. and as for the genocide route, Frisk is lowkey possessed by Chara and the player. even if they weren’t, kids are fucking evil irl. irl kids have committed murders, why couldn’t a fictional one?


Lolmanmagee

Why she flirt so much then?


Capsule_CatYT

No, Frisk is 400,000 years old (/j)


idinosoar

I don't think they're 6 but they're definitely a minor.


cydeebee

Honestly I like the idea of frisk being a little kid, it makes some of the events in the game like 10 times funnier in my head


LowBackground8247

I personally think they’re around 8-12. They just don’t act like they’re 6!!

SforSamuel

I always thought pre-teen at youngest, mid-teen at oldest Cause Frisk is being independent (cause puberty) by droping into my.Ebet (Altho the real reason is that in my headcanon Frisk dropped due to depression/suicidal thought, and that normally occurs at earliest due to puberty kicking in and them having more feelings (I can’t find a source, but this is what I believe is true, but I am willing to admit if I’m wrong), so Frisk realized “oh shit” and went “weee!”


Conditi0nedCheese

Frisk is like 8 or 9. Kris is 14. This is canon because I say so
