19. Wild card: what part of fanon do you dislike about your muse? what part of fanon DO you like?
here comes the Salt Train with tristan as ur guide
every time they make p.apyrus seemĀ āāhilariouslyāā stupid to fit their needs, or they make him hate every single pun s.ans says, i lose 10 years off my life.
listen. p.aps is OBLIVIOUS. he is actually pretty smart when heās focused. i mean, he literally conned U.NDYNE of all people to be friends with a HUMAN, the thing she was hunting not that long ago!!! and have you seen his control of magic? that skeleton must have put in some serious effort and concentration to master that so well! not even t.oriel, who doesnāt want to kill the human, has such control over her magic!!
but he is oblivious. sometimes he misses things and is out of touch with whatās happening around him. like, for example, heās oblivious about the marks he made on the electricity maze because he was more focused on getting the orb to the human. and i think he also sometimes misses social cues ? though i canāt really say that with full confidence.
and he really ? DOESNāT hate every pun s.ans says. yes, he KNOWS theyāre terrible, but he even throws some back at s.ans in his banter !! and he says some of his own even when s.ans isnāt around !!!! if he really hated puns, he wouldnāt be smiling at that oneĀ āskele-tonā pun made at the very start of the game, not to mention making his OWN pun about being down in the dumps because youāre in the garbage area in waterfall. and he sure as hell wouldnāt respond to s.ansā pun with putting moreĀ ābackboneā into it if he hated them that much.
but in saying that, i like the idea that p.apyrus could know just as much as s.ans does, and all the conspiracies that follow. i also like how the fanon gives him poor eyesight, and a constant enthusiastic attitude despite what he could know. andā¦. well, i really like t/haid/rawsā style of p.apyrus. big teef, lorg chompers. very monster-like.
oh, and i like all the au p.apyrus-es that are out there too. and there are a LOT.
