(This was going to be part of another post that was a reblog, but it was diverging too much from the rest of the post.) I can see how someone who does know the canon can be tricked my the fandom, because it happened to me. So, late November, I discovered the game's existence, and, against my usual code of conduct, I looked at the fan content before the original material. I ate it up, and by the end of December, when I finally had the funds to buy the game, I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the characters and the plot. Boy, was I ever wrong. One of the first things I noticed was how drastically different Papyrus was to the fandom's portrayal of him (I can see a lot of myself in him). Another that emediatly popped out, was that Sans only shows up a few times in the game, and in comparison to what he's hyped up to be, those moments with him were largely... unfulfilling. Don't get me wrong, he's an interesting character with multiple layers, but he just kinda hangs around and sometimes tells you important things quite bluntly. I realized he wasn't as important as I thought, and moved on. Now, Alphys: if there's a character that I can see why they're being hyped up, it's her. She set up a good chunk of the challenges you face to get to the capital to get your affection, constantly lies and withholds information, and keeps fellow living monsters away from the world because she's too scared to face the conciquinces of something that wasn't even her fault to begin with. It's easy to assume l that she was considering throwing herself off the waterfall in the dumps when she met undyne. And let's not forget that (without digging deep into the coding and making theories with Gaster, a character that we don't know a whole lot about) it appears that without her, Asriel would've never become Flowey, based on the logs in True Labs. Despite all this, Alphys is largely ignored by the fandom. I could go on about the poor characterization done by the fandom and comparing them to the characters as I see them portrayed in canon, but I'm not. Anyway, after playing the game, I continued to look at the fan content. I was unhappy on how the fandom treated the characters, but the comics were endearing, and I didn't want to leave the fandom. Here's the thing about consistently seeing more of the false portrayals than the original: you start you think they're right. It's hard to hear your own thoughts and opinions over the cry of thousands saying the opposite. It's like when you know what the right notes are in a song, but your entire section is singing it wrong in unison, and you can't control your voice from not following them, and then you start to think that's right, until the director points out it's wrong. And that's what happened. I started seeing things that didn't portray papyrus like the rest, like a child, or worse. Many of them were the blogs of those in the pap chat, though I didn't know it existed at the time. It was like a beacon, reminding me that there was a such thing as independent thoughts. After seeing that there were some that went against the majority, it was easier to do so as well, and a lot of my own opinions returned. And though they might be similar to others', they are still my own, and are not dictated by a mass. (I don't really know what this was. I just felt like sharing it.)

What you guys don’t realize

The Pap Chat is full of amazing people.

It’s full of great ideas, theories, headcanons, stories, complete utter chaos

We draw for eachother.

We write for eachother.

We fucking annoy the hell out of eachother but still manage to be great friends.

The moral of the story is that we’re a chaotic bunch of folks, with no sanity to spare, that managed to become a makeshift family.
