Fun Skelebros idea to meditate over:
Papyrus is nagging Sans to act more serious when they're on the job, even more than usual. Sans responds by complying, much to Papyrus' surprise. He will try to be serious.
Then Sans ends up doing goofy things while convincing Papyrus that no, this is serious, actually. This is him being VERY serious. This mustache he drew on his face? Don't you know all serious people have mustaches? A row of snowmen making silly faces? Naw, they're a very serious defence mechanism, gotta get the human to let down their guard somehow, right? Planting whoopie cushions under snow? No, they're alarms! Gotta know when a human is coming, right? Papyrus buys all of this without question, and even follows suit, coming up with his own silly ideas that are very serious, actually. He has a system. They both do.
And then it turns out that Papyrus was pushing to be more serious because he's stressed about not being in the Royal Guard yet, and it turns out Sans' silly-but-serious ideas were just what he needed to loosen up and have fun again. Haha! Ugh, I can't help making it wholesome, okay?
