#which is possible sure & already done by swapping him with tem village of all things but. fuckin boring lmao

[bonestrouslingbones]

god my swapfell is becoming so depressing actually. nobody is where they're supposed to be and everybody feels out of place and unfulfilled because of it. alphys is the captain of the royal guard not out of any genuine ambition for helping monsters or serving the crown but because that's the only way she can fund her tech. undyne is knowledgeable with science but not very passionate about it and was made the royal scientist anyway as essentially a prison sentence. sans has no interest in being a guard at all, but stays in it because it would be too much work to find something else to do and he's been coasting along for so much of his life already that he doesn't even know what else he could do. papyrus is extremely lonely but with everything as bleak as it is can't see any point in trying to change that, so instead he just internalizes everything and grows increasingly bitter and anxious about it as he gets more and more withdrawn. asgore was exiled after declaring war and lives in regret as he blames himself for the current state of the underground as monsters cling to his declaration for hope, even while toriel refuses to uphold it. toriel is disgusted by the kingdom's bloodlust and isolates herself as a result, hardly leaving the castle and letting the underground degrade ever further into hopelessness and despair as a form of justice

its like a fucking tim burton adaptation
