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?

[gastertalkpoints]

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

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.❞

[forgettable-au]

If for whatever reason, Sans/Alphys/Asgore/ANYONE heard Wingdings’ voice (wingdings or aster font) post accident, would they recognize it? or just get those weird chills

Asgore and Alphys wouldn't

Sans would recognize it as a Wingdings font voice, but other than that, he wouldn't recognize it as his brother's voice

They would all get those weird chills,,

[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?

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 !

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

Skeletons and Fonts

----

It is a well known fact in Undertale that skeletons are most commonly named after fonts. Skeletons have both first and last names and while it is most common that a skeleton's name is a font, there can be instances where they would have normal, human names.

Skeletons can also see other's fonts.

What this look like is whenever a someone speaks to a skeleton, (human or monster), their words appear in a speech box with a certain font. The fonts of most humans and monsters do not very too greatly, however skeleton fonts come in a very wide variety with fonts like Wingdings being more rare. (Skeletons who speak in wingdings often speak with a form of accent)

Family names typically come from the name of the font the parents use, and first names are usually derived from the skeleton's spoken font.

Examples of skeleton names;

Wingdings Gaster (note G-Aster)

Papyrus

"Comic" Sans Gaster

Just a small headcannon in my AU I wanted to share ^^

[slipping-is-doing-things]

Behold! My version of Gaster

I finally written it all out because I can't draw but certainly can write myself into an hole. Haveing been in the fandom for more than six years I supposed it was finally time I share my version of Gaster.

Word count : 3.7k

Warnings : Self destructive behavior, self harm, depression, implied dissociation, smoking

Fandom : Undertale

Please feel free to draw him, I would cry if anyone would

╞═════𖠁◇𖠁═════╡

General

Gaster's name is actually Wingdings Aster rather than Wingdings Gaster. He never had the heart to correct the king and queen about how his name is actually pronounced.

Gaster isn't related to Sans and Papyrus, he is friends with Sans and resultingly Papyrus.

Wingding's has a sweet tooth though he doesn't openly admit such things. At the same time he'll never turn down sweets.

Gaster's an boss monster. His level of violence sits at five, very close to six from the war, he was only a late teenager (17) when the monsters were sealed underground. His LV is only that high from needing to defend himself.

Dings has had mental health issues since the war, depression and anxiety hung around long term which greatly affected his self worth.

His right eyesocket has always been deformed in a permanent halfmoon. Due to the deformity his sight out of that eyesocket don't work properly, once the crack forms in that eyesocket he loses full sight out of it. Due to what caused the one crack his equilibrium is distorted though most wouldn't notice this.

Before the CORE accident

He used to paint frequently but he slowly stopped doing so. He lost enjoyment in the activity years ago but never could bring himself to get rid of his equipment to paint.

The cracks on his face were not always there and rather born from a mix of stress and a repercussion of a failed experiment. His hands were his own doing as well but that isn't to be spoken about. Visually his hands even with being healed have permanent cracks that break off from the holes in them, they don't fully go through the bone but can be felt and seen.

His smoking habits were born rather innocently at first, he simply wanted to understand why cigarettes were labeled as addictive for humans. Turns out skeletons can become addicted to nicotine much like humans. (Or at least for Gaster)

Post CORE incident

After haveing been in the dark for an intangible amount of time he's grown an intense fear of the dark, artificial or otherwise.

Under stress his full body becomes more melted in an similar manner an wax figure melts under heat. Stressors can be from outside forces or lack of sleep.

Due to the incident his magic isn't what it used to be. His magic being rather erratic even by his standards, he only has the use of one set of extra he can depend on while useing more then one set can become risky.

With his major fear of the dark his sleep schedule is ruined. The doctor sleeping during the day while staying awake at night to make sure this tangible reality doesn't disappear around him.

Detailed appearance

Before his fall Gaster was an skeleton fully. Sadly he had the same deformities his mother had in her own bones. Due to this his appearance is as such before he gained the cracks. Sadly I don't have any commissioned artwork of him without any cracks.

After the incident the Royal scientist takes on a more heavily melted appearance. His upper and lower arms missing with his hands intact, the rest of his body having a more pure black appearance than don't show any shadows cast onto it. His physical bone structure ends at the spine vertebrae L3 with the black goop that's replaced his legs starting at L3 almost L2 visually. The image provided shows both an idea of his stable and unstable appearances.

[forgettable-au]

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
