I found...an issue with your skeletons.

And the font thing that kind of contradicts...yeah

I've had this drafted for a while and today is the NINTH ANNIVERSARY OF HANDPLATES (!!!!) so you're going to get... lore!!

Anyway this is correct, Sans speaks in more than one font! MS Sans Serif if I remember right, or at least that's what people thought at the time. I wanted to work that into Handplates somewhere (I was thinking here) but I just couldn't find a good place for it. It ended up in a Mercyplates script that I never ended up actually doing UNTIL NOW!

Anyway, my thoughts are skeletons can speak in different fonts if they want or learn how (except skeletons with a cipher) and some are just born with multiple font styles, but they have a primary font they prefer to speak in. Sans has a bit of MS Sans Serif in him but he likes Comic Sans more, haha. Papyrus might have a touch of Parchment MF in him but it's so similar to Papyrus that you probably wouldn't even be able to tell. Gaster only has Wingdings though, most cipher skeletons only have the one font.

Nine years... it doesn't feel like it's been that long. It's hard to believe...

@forgettable-au FAN ANIMATION ! LOUD NOISE WARNING!

*What was it all for…?

Song: Vishnu <3 by Peter Cat Recording Co.

…okay.

The main inspiration for this…can be summed up with I LOVE HOW SAD THIS CONCEPT IS. BUT i also adore how WEIRD it is.

This whole thing must be pretty weird and creepy for the characters right??? Like- we dont know for certain what EXACTLY is gonna happen, but we know for a fact that Wingdings finds out hes in a game, then kills himself so he can be closer with god-

THATS PRETTY WEIRD 😭😭 also sad but we can ignore that for now

I also experimented a tad with this in working with silence, so timing things at my own pace! It was really hard! I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!

But, time for my FAVORITE PART….ANALYSIS!!!

DISCLAIMER: some things stated as fact haven’t been said in the blog/arent canon to the au itself, just my animation/theories/interpretation, cause i’m silly and headcanoning :3

TITLE:

The proper title ive given this is “To You” which means 2 different and very vague things. What happened to you? and sending a message like “this is To You”.

In that case, “you” is whichever version of Papyrus/Wingdings/Gaster you want- Its not exactly clear which version of him means “you” which is kinda the point. The lines blur together sometimes…

But yeah, Gaster/crazy WD sends messages TOO himself so they’re “To You”

CONTEXT

Wingdings has JUST turned himself into Gaster. Ignore how impossible Sans interacting with him in this moment is, and just hear me out on the angst possibilities-

SCENE 1

As Sans approaches the mess- Gaster is encased in shadow, and looks at him. Expression not telling much- just looking blankly. Doesn’t even look like he’s alive… just… moving. Also the eye thats open, is just a slit. because- perspective. BUT I also had fun putting that there and going hehehehe it looks like WD/Papyrus’ eye

Sans approaches, and getting engulfed in the shadow, leaving the light.

His expression here was REALLY fun and REALLY hard to draw. Angry? maybe. stunned and terrified? DEFINITELY.

In this context (that doesn’t have a lot to go off of with the comics, YET) Sans knows that this was all very much intentional. He absolutely does not want to be angry, and is certainly only feeling it subconsciously.

But… he wanted so badly to understand, and enter his brother world. But now, Sans is just… Baffled. Hes like “what the fuck did you do???”

SCENE 2

Gaster continues to look blank. Looking up at Sans as he approaches, encasing him in even more shadow.

Sans’ hand reaches to Gasters face. From Sans’ perspective, his intentions are like checking for a pulse. Not literally ofc cause pulses arent on our face- but like, feeling for him. For a sign that something is there. (It’s also meant to be something motherly/comforting)

But then, Gaster leans into the touch, somewhat reciprocating this wordless “ive got you” gesture. That’s what makes Sans go from Terrified to just purely grief stricken. His brother is still alive. And he loves him.

But this form wont last for long…For universe fixing screw ups reasons :D 👍

SCENE 3

Gaster then opens his eyes, revealing hes even still got eye lights available for him. Thats what just SHATTERS the dam, and Sans embraces him suddenly.

SCENE(S) 4

Then, the “reset” happens, Gaster is gone, and Papyrus appears in place of Wingdings in his bed.

Nothing is boiling to add to a “frozen in terror” feeling!

Now- drawing all of the differences between the past and present rooms. DESTROYED ME. i HAD SO MUCH FUN BUT I ALSO CRIED 😭 There are no thank-you letters to santa, no racecar bed, no silly bone painting, no action figures, just BORING

I also wanted to keep everything monochromatic, so ofc we’ve got black and white for the void/Gaster, blue for Sans, red for Papyrus, and purple for Sans and Papyrus together.

The tape recorder and lab coat are still greyscale though cause Wingdings still has SOME of his stuff lying around. But the tapes are indecipherable, and Papyrus threw out that lab coat the first chance he got. It gave him the absolute worst feeling, worse than anything he’s ever experienced.

Something I also really enjoy is the fact that the dress shirts were still technically Wingdings’ but they’re red for Papyrus. The lab coat is the only real WINGDINGS thing that Papyrus wants absolutely no part in. Some things that were Wingdings’ are now Papyrus’ cause :D👍

in place of the bone painting are just family photos that I also have extra to say about. Someday I wanna make a comic of what happened to those/what I think would happen to em.

One day Papyrus is like “HEY UH- SANS! THESE PHOTOS! I DON’T LIKE LOOKING AT THEM! CAN WE NOT!?�� Aka, he doesn’t remember these things happening/these photos being taken… BUT THEYRE PHOTOS OF HIM.

So he just feels really uncomfortable looking at memories he should reasonably remember, but doesn’t at all- and Sans gets that. But he keeps em in his drawer. Then! they hung up the bone thing in place of it cause SILLY!

But the family photos, I still had fun with. From left to right theyre a photo of Semi with the twins, the twins as baby bones, then as slightly older kids, then WDs graduation photo.

CONCLUSION!

This entire thing was so much fun, and I feel i’ve really grown as an artist over the process of experimenting and not being knocked down by annoying setbacks,

Also, as usual, Works In Progress’ plus extra behind the scenes stuff will be posted shortly after this!! YIPPEEE!!! HAPPY NIGHTMARES!!!!!

OHHHH ALSO EXTRA ART!!!

“AREN’T THEY BEAUTIFUL?”

That silly moment when your clone is really weirdly obsessed with stars and enthusiastically holds your eye sockets open to show you them

If Papyrus is Gaster

Then who is sans to Papyrus/Gaster

Are they still brothers? Were they brothers before Gaster became papyrus?

Yep, they've always been brothers :]

I wonder what Color liked to daydream about in the Void while rocking side to side or walking endlessly around in circles for hours.

Had a thought yesterday

[Clean version + bonus below]

AU IDEA!

So I've been in and out of the Undertale fandom for quite a long time now, and I've noticed a pattern. Either Sans and Papyrus are BOTH Gasters kids, or they are not at all. SO I had this idea, what if just one of them was Gasters kid?

Pretty much the base of this AU is that Sans became an intern at the Royal Labs, and soon became close with W.D. Gaster. This version of Gaster is very much like Papyrus, but more likely to ramble about science than MTT or cooking. They build this kind of Boss/Friend/Parent and child relationship. Both working towards an alternate way to break the barrier.

But then Gaster decides to do his own project, and that's how Papyrus comes into existence. Sans both is astonished about the science and jealous of the little skeleton. And after Gaster falls into the core, he ends up taking care of the last reminder of Wing Ding.

Sans for a while would a a passive aggressive person towards Papyrus, but at the same time care very deeply about him. Eventually it got to the point (probably when Paps was 7 or 8) were their relationship is similar to the one we see in canon.

Though it would eventually become very difficult for Sans to look at his (not) brother once Papyrus grew up. Because minus the scars and glasses, they are almost identical.

And that's my little ramble of my AU I made.

I’m collecting fictional men like their Pokémon card! 😂 Something I did recently I thought was pretty funny.

Just a lot of my fictional men crushes, I’ll do my ladies soon.

Happy 9th Anniversary Undertale! Seems like Deltarune will update soon. So exciting! And the newsletter will help me keep Chara in character.

Some drawings ajbdbsf

I honestly don't know what I did XD

I just remembered that they had little tails so I wanted to draw stuff about it

(and clearly I didn't make up a excuse to draw Gaster blushing, obviously not)

Btw, If there is something wrong, sorry, English is not my main language x'd

[merethessc]

i have feelings for them. A lot of them actually.

[yuch003]

Please watch sock muppets video, this is the best theory/explanation of the brothers that I have ever seen, and makes so much sense. He just uploaded it, but I think everyone should see it so pls share it c:

[alpacacare-archive]

short shitpost that i wanted to make for so long lmfao (audio is from mbmbam)

bonus that wouldn't have made sense in the video:

Recently had a silly Handplates dream where Papyrus was trying to snoop around Gaster and Alphys’ lab, but didn’t know who Alphys was and so was trying to pass it off as his own lab lol (Patreon)

[forgettable-au]

So hey, I was just thinking about this and I have to ask... If it's not spoilers, of course.

Since Gaster/Papyrus are/is the same person, where are their parents?? Who are their parents? Is sans even related to Gaster?

I just got really curious because, in most places, it's basically accepted canon that Gaster is the parent of/ made sans and Papyrus, but if Gaster is Papyrus, how would it work?

Obviously if you haven't thought of it, don't feel pressured to or anything, it's just very interesting to think about

Okay so

Wingdings and Sans are brothers, talked about that here!

And I talked about their parents here!

I love dad!Gaster but sometimes people forget it's not canon that he's their dad, or that he made them😭😭

We know they might be related, but there's really no way to know for sure if they are or what kind of relationship they would have
