W. D. Gaster if he wrote entry number SERVEnteen

[chuliann]

Wait... I realized something that is really obvious. TT^TT

Sans and Papyrus's first name are their font, so W.D./Wingdings Gaster's first name is Wingdings/W.D., and Gaster is his last name. Like Asgore and Asriel also have the Dreemur at the end. It's not like in the languages where they put the first name at the end when introducing themselve... So if Papyrus and Sans was related to Gast to Wingdings? W.D.? (wow it will takes time getting used to it), their full name would be Sans and Papyrus Gaster. :0

Or not. I don't know but it would be weird to stop thinking of him as Gaster at this point. But also, it is logical... I don't know anymore, maybe I got something wrong?

Бедный вампир оказался между двумя силами: одна влекла его к знаниям, а другая — к развлечениям. Доктор Астер надеялся, что этот мальчик сможет стать ему сыном, которого у него никогда не было. Габриэль же не хотел, чтобы он стал таким же серьёзным и занудным, как его отец.

The poor vampire was caught between two forces: one that drew him to knowledge, and the other to entertainment. Dr. Astaire hoped that this boy could become the son he never had. Gabriel didn't want him to become as serious and boring as his father.

... It seems like Micheal was trying to pull a fast one on me.

No matter.

I can silence them easily.

(THE CROSSWORD KEYS EVENT IS NOW OVER. THE STUFF NOT YET REVEALED WILL BE DONE DURING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER AS A HALLOWEEN THING.)

You may continue to give questions to some of these darkners however. A list will be made shortly.

Veterinarian! That's the word!

❝ Yeah, yeah - thats what I was thinking of! That's what Camila is, ❞ He smiles up at the skeletal monster, ❝ but she's not a magic healer from our realm - she's from the human realm, so she does stuff a lot different. ❞

Collie wishes he had asked more about Camila's veterinary work - but as it was, everything he learned about the Nocedas' lives in the human realm tended to be learned secondhand through King... he was still far too guilt-addled to directly interact with any of them for too long.

❝ ...I don't... know if Camila could learn to do healing magic, if she ever learned and practiced King's pictoglyphs... I don't think he even recognizes all his symbols yet. ❞ They ruminated on the thought, bringing their fingers to their chin. ❝ And I don't think she'd wanna use a training wand... ❞

❝ But either way, you're right. ❞ Collie concluded. ❝ She's a real good ani... veterinarian, even with no inherent magic. ❞

❝VETERINARIAN. A DOCTOR FOR ANIMALS IS CALLED A VETERINARIAN.❞

Dr. Gaster could do some basic veterinarian work if pressed; his knowledge bases in both medicine and in biology as a whole give him enough to do it, but it's far from his specialty as a doctor.

The difficulty in using healing magic on non-sentient animals made veterinary science a lot more emotionally taxing, because it was less likely to be able to save your patient, if they were seriously injured.

Healing magic.

That's why he quit. That's why he stopped being a doctor, focusing on research. He couldn't heal. Why couldn't he heal anymore?

❝HEALING MAGIC IS GOOD,❞ he says distantly, staring off past the child in front of him. ❝BUT A GOOD DOCTOR CAN HELP PATIENTS WITHOUT IT.❞

since i havent posted anything gaster related in, well, idk how long but its been a long time, i decided to prolly to give an update thats been in my au for awhile but i never actually posted abt it for some reason

so instead of two gasters now theres three. Rather than following the alternative gaster route it relates more to the shard theory now. Heres some concept art i drew recently

rough info under cut

One shard is “Aster” (first; renamed Aster because just calling him wingdings got kinda old and confusing)  and while he has a shard in their soul his body is a physical vessel part of the game (aka hes like a normal lightner that can interact w/ both light and dark world. I refrain from calling it the “real world” cuz the point of utdr is that its a game). He doesnt know this though and has no prior memories after “waking up” for the first time in the game, but they know something is up and thinks the dark worlds has something to do with it (hence why he is holding experiments relating to them). He sucks major ass though cuz he doesnt think of them or darkners as “real” and treats them as such bcuz he doesnt think their actions hold major consequences when interacting w/ darkners/darkworlds 

Second shard (middle) is currently unnamed (tho that may change) and is half physical and half part of the void (but how physical its body is fluctuates). He knows their reality is a game and is pretty content with that. He barely remembers his previous life but doesnt question it — he knows he just is, not what, why, or how. Because of that, he doesnt care what people call him because it doesnt matter much in the grand scheme of things. While knowledgable in many things, he also easily forgets things too as he sometimes has trouble recalling certain things. He also doesnt entirely understand emotions, but it knows he likes seeing or making living things happy so he is often kind to others. He is also well intentioned and genuine, but sometimes doesnt understand what may be good for others to hear. Because of this, he is willing to casually share with others the knowledge that the world is a game to the few people who know its existence, but doesnt recognize that this may be scary information to some. It is also the same gaster that convinced Jevil the world is a game.

Third one and last shard is also nameless (again, this may change) and completely part of the void—meaning, in the light and dark world he doesnt exist, but can still visit them. He cannot interact w/ anything, though, which he finds frustrating esp when observing the other two gasters. He has more memories of his previous life than the second gaster, but its still few as well as scattered—most of the time he cant make sense of them, which is also frustrating. His form is also never constant, but he struggles w/ coping with the inconsistency of his body so he tries to form like the other two gasters whenever he can to maintain his sense of self. He also knows the world is a game (for obvious reasons) but still recognizes that consequences that occur in the game have weight — whether negative or positive. As such, he has a stronger sense of judgement and morality when it comes to others but cannot act upon the majority of things because he barely exists — which is also something hes frustrated with; because he cant interact w/ the world, he concludes he’s incapable of guiding or helping others. The only other being he can actually communicate w/ is the second gaster, he later finds out though; as a result, he often sticks to hanging out with the second gaster for company and also because seeing Aster’s actions make him feel sick. Additionally, he feels a weird sense of kinship with lightners and darkners for some reason — but especially darkners. He sorta almost sees them as his children, but doesnt entirely know why.

So. Fonts are very clearly important... But why not make W.D. Papyrus have an Aster font overlay on the wingdings? Instead of just a basic font?

So... the Aster font is not really related to Wingdings at all

He's just Wingdings

And it's not even confirmed that Gaster comes from Aster🤷‍♀️ it's just a popular fan assumption because of how it sounds and because of Sans sleeping and the "zzz" being in "Aster", but even then the " zzz" is not actually Aster?? They look different

[amii-7]

So this is the true way Aster met Sans for the first time

LORE: Sans is a prototype created by WingDings with the porpuse to serve the royal family, for that they decided to hide Sans as Aster's son since creating artificial souls is illegal in their world

Undertale Fans, Deltarune Fans...

Food for Thought, on the Undertale end.

WD Gaster's name is a mix of Wingdings and Aster, two distinict Fonts. But let's focus on Aster.

It's latin for "Star".

Where do we see Stars in the Underground? That's right, the Save Points. Which, you could say, are "scattered through time and space"--they affect time, and they're across the underground... notably ONLY on the path to Asgore, or the game path.

While Flowey knows about SAVING, only an Amalgamate references the use of the Stars as SAVEs at all. ( Honestly, that encounter might imply that the one they were trying to trick was Flowey... and instead, got You. I wonder if Flowey was giving the Amalgamates a hard time... )

Those with high DETERMINATION can see and use the SAVE Points. No one else appears to be able to.

Additional information: ... Aster is a kind of flower, or denotes a type of flower. Asters are edible flowers, and can be used to make tea. (Sounds like the Golden Flowers to me). ... Waterfall is filled with references to Stars. Be it seeing the real stars, seeing fake stars but they're gemstones.

What's a star? Can you touch it? Can you eat it? Can you kill it? ... Are you a Star?

... What was that about Papyrus solving the Horoscope?

And if you think that revelation is mind breaking.

Let's get meta.

Near most Save Points, you are going to find the hole of a mouse. These various mice inspire our PC to have determination as they save. They are ONLY found near SAVE Points.

Enough so that we can safely associate the unseen Mice with SAVEs, and possibly, benign sources of Determination. One day that mouse is gonna use that microwave to unfreeze Cheese.

Now, what's so meta about Mice?

... SAVEs are a game mechanic. We get tuToriel'd about game mechanics, and how it uses the keyboard.

... What's the thing that's Missing here?

That, like the font Wingdings, is capable of shifting form...

That, like a character or the keyboard, is usually capable of interacting with the world, but cannot in this case, it can only float there and watch.

Have you ever thought about a world where everything is exactly the same... except you don't exist?

That is very much associated with a Hand.

Everything functions perfectly without you.

I'll give you a hint about "Mice".

Ha ha... The thought terrifies me.

ADDENDUM:

Those mouse holes certainly look like little doorways, don't they? The Mysterman seems to be pretty fond of his, maybe that's something to consider.

Sounds like Gaster's life is about the plans of mice and men, huh?

Botanic Tournament : Honorary Mentions !

Explanations here

Round 1 Part 1 Poll 2

Explanations underneath

In reply to the original submitter : I'd looked and no, the cabbage man didn't have a name when you submitted him. However, I had another look just in case recently... and it looks like he's going to be known as Cai in the children book focused on him that should go out this Summer. According to the wiki, "if he shares the same last name as his son Lau Gan-Lan, That would make his name "Cai Gan-Lan", a play on "gan-lan cai", the name of a vegetable dish."

Here was the original propaganda : "he is a cultural icon and you know him even if you haven't seen atla just through the power of internet osmosis (me im the example)"

Video here (sorry for the quality but there are 63 other characters in this bracket)

Speaking of other characters, I have to admit I'm quite fond of the person who submitted W.D. Gaster.

"Okay listen listen listen." -> you know it's going to be good when propaganda start like this. It never fails

"There is. Evidence that he's named after the two fonts Wingdings and Aster. Wingdin gAster. Aster is a flower. I rest my case."

"I don't expect this to be taken very seriously I just thought it was funny that he technically counts." : so do I, my dear Submitter. Here's his chance !

Wingdings font (left) and Aster font (middle) and Aster flowers (right)

[freakbullet]

literally just a g/aster enjoyer, never met a wingding I didn't like, but I am especially partial to more bastardly interpretations and these days I feel like one of the last motherfuckers on the planet to still depict him as something other than nice silly goop grandad (no shade ilu gramps <3)

to be clear I don't do it because I think its canon. it is simply Fun.

but like. do my terrible little guys that fly in the face of popular fanon still have a place here? im actually a little insecure because it felt like i used to be surrounded by edgy g/aster enjoyers and nowadays its like everyone grew out of it. except me *cough*

sure i've still been drawing and having fun with them for myself but putting them out there? that incurs the mortifying ordeal of being known, etc. and like what's the point of sharing stuff publicly if it's not enjoyed by the public y'know

[helenmoonlight]

[gastertalkpoints]

your asgore was less than a good guy, huh aster?

Worst Undertale theories:

Frisk is canonically female because Sans says "sorry old lady" before his fight

Papyrus survived the genocide because he replaced himself with cardboard. I'm not kidding

Sans is Gojo 😭

Every lowercase sentence in the game is written by Sans.

Listen me here: Sans hacked Alphys(When she sent the ALPHYS updated status. just realized i didn't watch undyne fight the human v.c), the evidence is that it’s lowercase and also that Sans created everything that exist so he must be in every theory

Toriel is homophobic.

The theory I heard was that she was afraid HUMANITY was homophobic, thus why she said "not in front of the human" instead of "the child"

That frisk is male in genocide but female in pacifist. 🤨

Sans = Steven Universe After Not Surviving (

steven

after

not

surviving)

This probably isn't the worst theory but its one that bugs me, this old one I spotted that the reason Undyne has determination is because Alphys puts it in ice cream she eats

Any theory that goes "Gaster because Gaster" despite there being no need to include Gaster, and no evidence supporting his involvement.

That includes the theory of Gaster being involved in the Determination Experiments, despite Alphys directly saying all of it was her.

Sans can remember resets

Frisk is a monster 💀

, Genocide is justified 💀

Sans, Papyrus, Mettaton, Napstablook, Mad Dummy and Gaster were the 6 fallen humans. . . 💀

Chara controls Frisk in Genocide Route

Sans is the strongest ut character

River person = Ralsei because idk what it was but I think it was because like they share the same like cloak

ICE is Gaster (He’ll no! I don’t care if his suitcase resembles the suitcase of the true big shot Swatch, I will accept Rolux Kaard is Gaster first, their faces lineup at the very least)

Sans and Papyrus are revived humans that became monsters from Determination experiments (either by gaster??? or alphys). This would explain them "showing up out of nowhere" and how Papyrus remembers "Green Grass and flowers" before snowdin, where he remembers human life.

The Toriel's Dark Past theory

Sans bleeding Determination

 the pile of asriels dust theory

Ralsei is a girl because Susie was surprised after he took off his hat.

Monsters are weaker because they are not exposed to sun and lack vitamin D 💀

Chara committed genocide on the humans before they fell underground. If I remember correctly their reasoning was that they said it was the only explanation as to why Chara was able to achieve as high a damage number as we see when they erase the world.

Soulless Pacifist is just Chara pranking you and that everyone's actually okay anyway since they're just reminding you that you did the genocides!!!!. Might as well just remove everything from the game but the Undyne the Undying and Sans fights without dialogue since there's literally no stakes in the story whatsoever if that's the case, just do the two challenging fights then be done.

Top 10:

sans remembering saves cause, imagine this, right? You do a SECOND genocide run right, reload your save file that is in the ruins, walk out of the ruins. What happens? Sans is there, sees you, and proceeds to obliterate you. And imagine how awkward it'd be to do a pacifist run AFTER a genocide run.

Flowey messed with the corpses of the kids Asgore and the others killed to gather what determination they had left.

Dr. Gaster is part wingdings and part aster because wingdings are silly like papyrus, and aster is serious like Sans. Not even Toby Fox would make sense of that, but at least the rest of the left brain - right brain theory has some evidence, if matpat's knowledge of brains is even credible i never did well enough at biology maybe i should

Chara is a villain

toriel is frisk

Sans is chara

That Sans doesn’t care about Papyrus or anyone

Um did we play the same Genocide route? Cuz he clearly does care…

Gas pipe theory

Both sans and flowey knows about the resets but flowey doesn't know it's a videogame, but sans knows it's a videogame

This is all just wrong, expect for the reset ones are backwards, the reset ones are mostly correct, the last one is just backwards, yes both remember about resets, but it’s flowey how knows it’s a game, while sans doesn’t know it is a game, it technically depends on the route, how is the strongest, but usually its flowey how’s the strongest, and besides that, all of them are wrong.

[atotallyinnocentflower]

alright so i was the guy who figured out the wingdings translate to and i quote "The phrase is aster". That took 5 minutes of actual effort. Yall should be disappointed in yourselves since it would have been a 1 minute google search and 4 minutes of a not that hard puzzle. But since you couldnt not use a translator we wont get any other puzzles here. Like damn be better guys.

What he said but a bit nicer, there will not be another puzzle, since this doesn't seem to be the right audience for that sort of thing
