hey so uh
One common Undertale misconception that really frustrates me is when Sans is portrayed with a strong innate sense for RESETs and alternative timelines. Like, that he remembers the RESET timelines better than the other characters who only have occasional feelings of deja vu or even that he can sense when a timeline is RESET.
And that’s, like, almost the opposite of the actual text of the game. While pretty much every main character can have slightly-different dialogue in a Not-True-RESET, especially if the Player had previously befriended them, based on the idea that they have lingering memories/feelings from before the RESET -
Sans has no real dialogue changes based on this conceit. All of his changes are based around noticing Frisk has different reactions based on their memories of the precious timelines.
Other characters do also make observations like that about Frisk, like Mettaton and Toriel. But Sans is distinctive because this is the only way his comments change between RESETs and there are a lot of them from him.
Because that is what really frustrates me about this misconception. People mention it as one more thing that makes Sans cool - but the actual truth is far more badass. Sans is one of the people in the Underground who remembers RESETs the least. I think memory-resistance to RESETs is probably tied to Determination. Flowey, the second-most Determined person in the Underground after Frisk, can remember everything perfectly.
Everyone else has some vague feelings and deja vus. And Sans, he’s the least motivated person in the Underground - both in the sense he’s lazy and in the sense he’s fucking depressed.
That probably means he has very little Determination. Thus, he doesn’t remember anything that happens between RESETs.
And yet, he is still the character most aware of them. Because he has the technological know-how to read and analyze timelines.
And because he has the observation and analytical skill to notice a RESET from other people’s reactions and behavior. Whatever it’s Papyrus thinking he recognizes someone or Frisk’s behavior implying that they know something they shouldn’t have. Sans main RESET-related skill is just being able to identify these moments and come to the correct conclusion about them. And with that he manages to be the most aware character in the entire Underground.
Like, the one point where it might seem like Sans remembers something from a previous Timeline is the Fake Spare scene during his boss battle.
But it’s all pretend. Unlike the previous lines from other characters that I mentioned, this dialogue plays even if the Murder Route is the first time the player touched the game. Sans isn’t remembering anything in this scene. But he makes an educated guess that the Immoral Time God probably tried using their powers for good at first, so they were likely ‘friends’ in a previous timeline. And in most cases, his guess is right on the money - tricking many players into thinking this is another case of the game actually reacting to their past actions.
And as always, Sans can only tell if his lil’ trick worked or not based on the expression of the Player Character.
Arguably, Sans even uses his lack of Determination and cross-RESET memory to his advantage in his boss battle. After all, the whole point of this fight isn’t to kill the Player - Sans understands this is impossible. This is a war of attrition, trying to get the Player so frustrated and annoyed with the unfair fight that they just ragequit or RESET the Timeline. And this war of the Player’s patience versus Sans’ stamina and will is infinitely easier for him when he doesn’t actually perceive all the Player’s previous attempts against him.
Like, for the Player this might be the billion time they go up against him, they’re aware of some of his patterns and tricks now but they’re probably also frustrated and angry and exhausted. Meanwhile, from Sans’ POV, this is still the first time this is happening. He knows it’s not from the Player’s behavior and Frisk’s expression - but he doesn’t feel it like the Player does.
He doesn’t feel the frustration and repetition of the endless stalemate. So he’s always as fresh as a daisy no matter how rugged the Player is getting.
And that’s part of why Sans is so cool in the first place, like, in general. He’s technically the weakest person in the Underground, lacking in every standard evaluation of power in the setting - no ATK, no DEF, no HP, no DETERMINATION. But he’s darn clever enough to overcome these weaknesses and even use them in ways that make them into strengths, enough to be one of the most dangerous and most aware guys in this whole setting.
Sans can’t remember anything, and that makes him awesome.
welcome to the Number Tournament!
after a fiercely competitive round of nominations, the sixty-four most popular suggestions have been placed into a bracket, seeded based on how many people suggested them. all sixty-four options have their dedicated fans, but I'm sure we're all extremely hype to see which number comes out on top!
now, everyone has a lot of questions about how the nomination process went overall, but in the interest of not skewing the results I'm going to wait until the conclusion of the tournament to reveal that stuff. I will say, however, that every single number with at least seven nominations made the cut, with the bottom three seeds hand-selected from the ones that only got six.
so then! is everyone ready for round one?
by request, links to the day-one matches:
seven vs omega
23 vs negative one
five vs [final vote count]
17 vs order of the Monster
six vs 39
24 vs star
11 vs Chaitin's constant
eight vs 57

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

Read everything before answering the poll!
Im redoing the 1-10 poll with another random number generator as the first one seemed to have 1 and 10 less likely. use the link at the BOTTOM of the post, randomly generate a number, and then choose that number in the poll. reblog for a higher sample size

the rules of The Game are simple: you can start playing at any time, and you win once you forget you're playing. I started playing quite some time ago, and I just now remembered that I had been playing, so that means I won The Game! highly recommend, much better than that other game people talk about sometimes
i open my mouth to say i should go, but then you roll over to look at me, and the sunlight staining your cheeks spills over onto your eyelids and braids itself into your hair, and i have to stop myself from drowning in the light pooling on your skin. you fill the festering wounds in my chest with hope; i want to enter your heart like one enters a home. is that so wild a dream?

really specific hypothetical but ok imagine the next 2d mario game is just called "Super Mario Bros." then a number, like what they did with Mario Kart 7. here's the vibes different numbers they could pick for that title would have :)
Super Mario Bros. 5: finally, this series was almost getting Too original. time for a return to basics!
Super Mario Bros. 4: the same thing but like ignoring super mario world
Super Mario Bros. 10: pretending the titles made sense all along
Super Mario Bros. 13: that idea again but they remembered super mario land
Super Mario Bros. 7: actively trying to cause problems with this title
Super Mario Bros. 2: succeeding at causing problems with this title
Super Mario Bros. 36: the sequel to mario 35
Super Mario Bros. 19: it's a sequel to Every super mario game, not just the 2d ones
Super Mario Bros. 20: wait which is the extra one. hey nintendo which nineteenth game are you counting
I think 7 is the funniest option mostly because there is like, no coherent way to analyze the mario series where there's been exactly six main Super Mario Bros. games
German students writing in English: I will spent the next 30 minutes trying to find an elegant English equivalent to this very complex German word
German scholars writing in English: *takes the German word, puts it in italics and never explains its meaning because Now you! Anglophone Reader! Are the fucking Moron Who Doesn’t Know what Gleichgewichtsrückverschiebung means! How dare you read my book??*
You know. The Gesamtkunstwerk.
