it might seem like mob!sans is always on the receiving end of beatings but

i assure you that’s not the case

One common Undertale misconception that really frustrates me is when Sans is portrayed with a strong innate sense for RESETs and alternative timelines. Like, that he remembers the RESET timelines better than the other characters who only have occasional feelings of deja vu or even that he can sense when a timeline is RESET.

And that’s, like, almost the opposite of the actual text of the game. While pretty much every main character can have slightly-different dialogue in a Not-True-RESET, especially if the Player had previously befriended them, based on the idea that they have lingering memories/feelings from before the RESET - 

Sans has no real dialogue changes based on this conceit. All of his changes are based around noticing Frisk has different reactions based on their memories of the precious timelines. 

Other characters do also make observations like that about Frisk, like Mettaton and Toriel. But Sans is distinctive because this is the only way his comments change between RESETs and there are a lot of them from him.

Because that is what really frustrates me about this misconception. People mention it as one more thing that makes Sans cool - but the actual truth is far more badass. Sans is one of the people in the Underground who remembers RESETs the least. I think memory-resistance to RESETs is probably tied to Determination. Flowey, the second-most Determined person in the Underground after Frisk, can remember everything perfectly.

Everyone else has some vague feelings and deja vus. And Sans, he’s the least motivated person in the Underground - both in the sense he’s lazy and in the sense he’s fucking depressed.

That probably means he has very little Determination. Thus, he doesn’t remember anything that happens between RESETs.

And yet, he is still the character most aware of them. Because he has the technological know-how to read and analyze timelines.

And because he has the observation and analytical skill to notice a RESET from other people’s reactions and behavior. Whatever it’s Papyrus thinking he recognizes someone or Frisk’s behavior implying that they know something they shouldn’t have. Sans main RESET-related skill is just being able to identify these moments and come to the correct conclusion about them. And with that he manages to be the most aware character in the entire Underground.

Like, the one point where it might seem like Sans remembers something from a previous Timeline is the Fake Spare scene during his boss battle. 

But it’s all pretend. Unlike the previous lines from other characters that I mentioned, this dialogue plays even if the Murder Route is the first time the player touched the game. Sans isn’t remembering anything in this scene. But he makes an educated guess that the Immoral Time God probably tried using their powers for good at first, so they were likely ‘friends’ in a previous timeline. And in most cases, his guess is right on the money - tricking many players into thinking this is another case of the game actually reacting to their past actions.

And as always, Sans can only tell if his lil’ trick worked or not based on the expression of the Player Character.

Arguably, Sans even uses his lack of Determination and cross-RESET memory to his advantage in his boss battle. After all, the whole point of this fight isn’t to kill the Player - Sans understands this is impossible. This is a war of attrition, trying to get the Player so frustrated and annoyed with the unfair fight that they just ragequit or RESET the Timeline. And this war of the Player’s patience versus Sans’ stamina and will is infinitely easier for him when he doesn’t actually perceive all the Player’s previous attempts against him.

Like, for the Player this might be the billion time they go up against him, they’re aware of some of his patterns and tricks now but they’re probably also frustrated and angry and exhausted. Meanwhile, from Sans’ POV, this is still the first time this is happening. He knows it’s not from the Player’s behavior and Frisk’s expression - but he doesn’t feel it like the Player does. 

He doesn’t feel the frustration and repetition of the endless stalemate. So he’s always as fresh as a daisy no matter how rugged the Player is getting.

And that’s part of why Sans is so cool in the first place, like, in general. He’s technically the weakest person in the Underground, lacking in every standard evaluation of power in the setting - no ATK, no DEF, no HP, no DETERMINATION. But he’s darn clever enough to overcome these weaknesses and even use them in ways that make them into strengths, enough to be one of the most dangerous and most aware guys in this whole setting.

Sans can’t remember anything, and that makes him awesome.

I’m back and I come bearing a whole bunch of Sanses!

I’ve been working on these little guys on and off for a couple weeks now, so I’m really excited to finally post them! I hope it was worth the wait.

I really really like this AU and I hope u end up seeing this little doc bc I'm real proud of it !! Hopefully everything on that doc or that'd b a little embarrassing .. ANYWAYS !!! Here is the little link, hopefully I'm doin this right, I don't every rlly use tumblr

WOAH HOLY SHIT THANK YOU!!!!????!?!?!?

YOU PUT SO MUCH WORK INTO THIS........THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

GOD DAMN!!!!! WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS AMAZING

[minarano-aki]

Thanks! I have seen it (it'd probably be hard to find a Papyrus theory post I haven't seen, at this point) and my thoughts on it are somewhat the same as yours. Some weird things in general about him are his breaking of the fourth wall here and there (apparently he says at one point that he and Undyne will just stand there and repeat their lines over and over) and the fact that he implies he can SEE you in places ("where'd you go? I can't see you!" "That bag of dog food looks familiar")

* Oooo yes I’d love to see those! (And I’m sure others would too eh-heh)

* I don’t think I’ve seen the repeating lines one yet, but yeah! Those are a bunch of weird things that I sorta wondered about… along with things like Papyrus not staying consistent with what he knows >->

* (Aw, he knows Sans likes labs and science!)

* (Wait Paps I thought you knew what a lab was…)

* As far as I know, you can get both calls in either order.

i think my favorite thing about undyne is she’s everything a token female character is Not Supposed To Be

sure Powerful Women have been showing up a lot lately but they’re either 100% mean and evil or they’re strong but also ~motherly and kind~ and still end up being a damsel half the time despite their apparent strengths

undyne’s loud and rude and kind of a jerk sometimes but she’s got a big heart, too, and she cares sooooo much about everything around her, she cares so much about her friends and fellow monsters, but not so much humanity, and not necessarily every monster, either.

she’s not ~kindhearted~ she doesn’t protect people ~despite the fact they’re jerks~ 

when she allows frisk into her house it’s literally just because papyrus is right there, and ONLY if you haven’t killed anyone—she’s not making exceptions to hang out with murderers even for papyrus. 

when she drags monster kid away from frisk, away from an apparent threat, it’s with annoyance and probably a burning anger that she was interrupted

she makes barf jokes. she’s over the top. she makes sarcastic comments and snide remarks and it’s good

a lot of the reasons undertale’s cast is so great is that every character is the literal exact opposite of what you’d expect media to give you. it’s refreshing, plus, they’re all exceedingly real. they all have strengths and flaws they all feel as complex as a real person, and it’s

it’s so good

undyne’s so good, ok
