undertale au where everything is the same except papyrus stands like this bc of his crappy vision 

(nothing is different about sans having his weird eyelight thing always lit. its very obviously canon. its sans undertale what do u expect)

but snad is the best tho!!!!!!!1 jk i like him but hes a trash monster

MOOD. i love him a lot; he was really important to me when i was younger because we were both pretty similar (ex, made a lot of funny puns, pretty lazy, a total goober, etc) and because the whole fandom seemed to totally love him

im not trying to like…. totally desecrate his character, but aside from the whole fandom making him into like,,, a sex god,, i have problems with his canon character? 

like in the first interaction you see of him with pap pap says ‘why does someone as great as me have to do so much for some recognition???’  and sans just makes a pun. sans knows the context of this– pap doesn’t have any friends, he doesn’t even have a proper sentry station, and usually has to push and push for people to acknowledge him (him staying all night outside of undyne’s house). in my opinion papyrus is actually genuinely upset and sensitive about his lack of ‘recognition’ (aka social interaction and acceptance) but is just trying to play it off as banter. and sans has all the context fir this!!! and he doesn’t comfort him or anything just makes a very obvious reused joke !!! then when sans is supposed to have a puzzle prepared for the human there’s just a newspaper crossword/puzzle on the ground… papyrus was totally expecting sans to actually have done something and sans just,,, lets him down? and pap just lets it slide??? 

AND THEN when pap says that he thinks the junior jumble is much more difficult than a crossword sans says ‘woah, really dude? that easy-peasy word scramble? that’s for baby bones.’ which is just. insulting. considering that papyrus most likely has poor eyesight (him not seeing the human next to the lamp, mistaking the human for a rock, etc) the junior jumble would be so much more difficult for him because all of the letters are smushed close together while the crossword simply has boxes that he can easily count and a prompt for a word. lemme just say that the junior jumble being easier isn’t an intellect thing because papyrus says that compared to a crossword it’s much more difficult which is ridiculous bc crosswords require literacy, linguistics, and being able to think of context/similarities for prompts. (also i know i KNOW pap says he ‘fills the squares with z’s’ but that’s just the lead up to the joke of ‘all i can do is snore!!’ its a joke guys im like 100% sure he actually does crosswords) 

there are literally so many other examples but what i’m trying to say through all my angry ranting about misconceptions about pap is that sans is kinda a crappy brother. he doesn’t really comfort his bro, and only gives him really general compliments like ‘my bro is so cool’ which is like… nice and loving but he could be more specific lmao? (i don’t doubt sans actually thinks that pap is great, he just sucks at showing it) he gets much better at expressing his gratitude and love towards pap when pap isn’t around, like how when he takes you to grillby’s he says ‘he’s a real star’ and ‘it’s nice to have someone call you out on your laziness’  and he literally spends the majority of the day at grillby’s. (’nah, i haven’t had breakfast in at least half an hour. you must be thinking of brunch.’ how he very casually says ‘hey, everyone’ and everyone responds. how he has a tab that has presumably being added on for a while. his dying line of ‘welp. i’m going to grillby’s. papyrus, do you want anything?’ instead of like wanting to go home/see papyrus one last time/literally anything except grillby’s. /also the ‘do u want anything’ line is literally so dumb because pap canonly hates grillby’s and the only thing he ever orders when he goes there is a glass of milk so WHY would sans ask that? sans knows that bc the only way pap would ever set foot into that greasetrap would be because of sans!!!! it just seems condescending bc he’s ignoring pap’s personal preferences. i kind of think he only said that to try and tug on the human’s heartstrings so they would reset bc ‘ohhhh he misses his brother the last thing on his mind was papyrusssssss!!’/) 

he’s kinda a sucky brother but he really does love pap, and that’s what makes him such an interesting, 3-d character!! i love this bony gremlin
