i think the thing a lot of papyrus takes get wrong is that they forget that, among other things, papyrus is funny. in my experience writing papyrus, i often find the most funny line is the most in-character one. an unfunny papyrus doesn’t ever feel like an accurate papyrus to me. it’s more than part of the game, it’s part of his character. and disregarding that is what messes up a lot of otherwise good impressions of him.

#the same can be said for sans too #the biggest issue with the 2015 fandom interpretation (besides shipping him with a child) was that he was way too serious all the time.#sans actually made me crack up several times during the genocide route #i lost it at “cool mutant hand”#also regarding papyrus #even back when innocent naive papyrus was a thing he wasn’t funny #and this is honestly a big problem considering how deeply intertwined humor is with undertale’s narrative #looking at you chara “laughed it off” dreemurr #toriel “laughs as she dies” dreemurr #sans and papyrus “always smiling” undertale #that one smiling npc in snowdin yeah i didn’t forget about you #seriously gotta stop putting half the post in the tags again this is getting ridiculous #undertale #papyrus #sans #character analysis #not much of one but i think it’s worth the tag
