Did Toby Fox Say What Frisk's Gender IS

Many people have claimed that Toby Fox has outright said that Frisk's gender is up to interpretation. But this seems to be an claim the community has spread through word of mouth and with no actual origin point to where the claim came from. If anyone can provide and actual source that would be useful.

This is a fairly common thing that happens with creators, people will claim they have said something they either never said, or something that is heavily misinterpreted. Like with Miyamoto, Sakurai, and Cawthon to name a few. Or if a creator does actually say something they fail to provide an actual source like with claims about the Sonic canon that Ian Flynn has apparently said.

So the only thing I could find on this topic apparently is a Toby Fox interview from The Existential Gamer. The Existential Gamer asked Toby the following "The protagonist in UNDERTALE is of ambiguous gender. This is also true of many of the monsters he/she encounters along the way. Was this a design choice, and what role does androgyny play in your vision of the world?" Toby chose to skip answering this. This is the only thing I could find and it appears Toby Fox just chooses not to answer the question at all.

So by technicality it is is up to player's interpretation, but that is because Toby just refuses to answer the question from the looks of things.

I don't get someone drawing a canonically fat character skinny for suggestive artwork or just artwork in general. Why even draw that character? just draw the 1000 skinny characters instead or learn how to draw fat people better with references? I get as angry as reactionary conservatives got when they gave the green m&m's sneakers when people draw fat characters skinny for their stupid fanart. You removed a major part of the character and what for? Your art just looks worse now and you look like a dick

How do you think Sans reacts to Papyrus’s death during the runs?

If you mean in the base game, uh... we kinda already know? If Papyrus is killed, Sans doesn't show up again until the final corridor, where he'll ask "if you have some sort of special power, isn't it your responsibility to do the right thing?"

If you answer yes (that you do have that responsibility), then he responds, without eyelights or sound font, "Then why'd you kill my brother?"

And if you answer no (you aren't responsible), you get "well, that's your viewpoint. i won't judge you for it.... You dirty brother killer."

There's also the line of description you get if you go on to have a concert with Shyren after killing Papyrus: "A hooded figure watches the commotion from afar." It replaces the line that mentions Sans selling toilet paper tickets to your concert, and of course, of all the characters with hoods in the game, he's the one who would be most concerned with tracking your actions after killing Papyrus. So, it makes the most sense to infer that this hooded figure is Sans.

So his reactions, to me at least, suggest that not only is he heartbroken, he's furious with you. But Sans isn't one for direct confrontations and shouting like Undyne is, so he watches, and I think he still tries to understand why you'd do something so horrible. But that doesn't stop him from being angry because there's no excuse for killing his brother, but sparing other monsters, that he can fathom.

I'm personally not a fan of depictions of Sans sobbing over Papyrus' dusty scarf--he just doesn't strike me as a guy whose first reaction is to cry. For my understanding of him, it makes more sense for him to go numb, initially, then save his anger for his parting shot in the last corridor. No matter what you answer, Sans gets the last word in, and it's always to remind you that you did not have to kill his brother.

So uh, yeah. that's what I think.

[soul-collectors]

Do Charas that come back to life in au count as anomaly souls.

'Haunting' [Ask]

Yes, An 'Anomaly SOUL' Chara *can* happen, but it's much rarer than the usual Captured human Anomaly SOULs.

But any Chara that's "supposed" to be brought back from the dead in the timeline's storyline wouldn't count as an Anomaly SOUL, since it's SUPPOSED to happen and isn't a glitch.

(basic info on 'Anomaly SOULs' for newcomers )

More info/sketches:

This is just a random Timeline that was affected So I can showcase the idea :]

This Chara is currently around phase 4 > (Appears similar to their original self, can speak, memories somewhat regained)
