What inspiration you had while creating Cyans?
Ooh that’s a good question!
Honestly, it all started from a dream I had way back in February. I vaguely remember the whole thing, but I do remember seeing Sans in Waterfall wearing a dark greyish-black hoodie- and on his hoodie were two light blue bones on each side.
I wasn’t really gonna make an AU- seeing all the others and worrying about making one that’s similar with another- but at the same time, I wanted to make my own AU. Not just any AU tho, one that ties in with the colour ‘cyan’. Which of course revolves around Cyans himself.
I remember in the game (spoiler warning), Sans mentions a talking flower (which I believe he meant was Flowey). Now, there’s two types of talking flowers, but he brings up Echo Flowers. So then I thought “huh, does this mean he has a connection with Waterfall?” Hell he’s got his own sentry station IN Waterfall)
And not just the Echo Flowers- but the light blue SOUL as well (his glowing eye).
In a way, I wanted to create my own theory of the game and morph it into an AU- because Sans is one of those mysterious characters in the game.
Originally I was gonna name him something like Dream!Sans or Neon!Sans but then I thought “he’s a pun-loving skeleton, so there’s GOTTA be a way to make his name a pun that goes well with his design” and low and behold Cyans was born.
Long story short - other AU’s, the dream I had, and the original Sans are what inspired me to create Cyans.
Sorry for the fairly long description, hope this helps tho! ^^’
