I’m working thru a theory rn that when Undertale first exploded in popularity after it came out, the reason why Sans specifically caught so many ppl’s attention is that he is heavily implied to be a highly intelligent and well-trained scientist with a lot of specialized skills but works as a professional hot dog salesman/Sentryilly Guy. Which is. Well let’s just say it’s not an entirely unrelatable experience to a lot of people in the 2010s.

#undertale #sans undertale #undertale meta #ig?#if somebody has said this b4 more eloquently plz tell me but yeah I been thinking like #I’m not a sociologist or anything so I’m rly just talking about of my butt rn #but I feel like 2010s was the era when a lot of teens and young adults (the ppl who rly fueled undertale’s popularity)#were starting to come to terms with the fact that the whole “college = high paying job” pipeline ain’t exactly what it cracked up to be #(at least in America idk bout other places)#n seeing someone experience the same thing while also being just a rly chill dude and endearing character #who is ALSO Plagued By The Horrors and feels just a lillllllll existentially dreadful about it #idk I think it resonated with a lot of ppl! I think it still does!#the horrors (the economy. and also time loop bs) r endless but he stays silly
