WAIT WHEN DID SHE INJURE HER LEFT HAND??? (im so lost)

During part 8, when she met with HT Sans!

He literally crushed her hand + they fought right after.

She was wearing bandages while it was healing during the interlude, but had to wear gloves at dinner to hide the fact that she was injured in the first place. (They're trying to cover up the fact that she 1. went to Ebott without permission, 2. dragged Blue along with her, and 3. Axe attacked and hurt someone all of the sudden.)

Update: that's also why Rus called her out for "reeking of dust" (+suspects that she fought with someone/is hiding things from them) during part 9, and the reason why Edge and Black start arguing about responsability, etc, later on

Once again. I agree. Part 8 was a long time ago, no wonder you're confused x)

Is it bad I didn’t realize it was Red talking until the latest page?

I noticed you made a visual difference between everyone’s text bubbles- could we maybe- get a full reference for each of them? For those who haven’t learned the difference yet-

Well, not “bad”, with 10+ characters present+1 page every other day, things are bound to be a bit confusing, but I'm genuinely curious about who you thought was talking all this time, since he's been on so many pages lately x)

The visual cues vary by chapter/situation, but you can usually tell them apart by the font and the speech bubble (and most important, context clues. If you still can't, then I prbly messed up, which is possible too, my bad).

Part 9 works like this:

UT Sans, lowercase, black, Comic Sans, white background UT Papyrus, uppercase, black, Papyrus, white background

US Sans, uppercase, black, Comic Sans, white background US Papyrus, lowercase, black, Papyrus, white background

UF Sans, lowercase, white, Comic Sans, black background (white outline or no outline) UF Papyrus, uppercase, red or black, Papyrus, black background (red outline)

SF Sans, uppercase, purple, Comic Sans, black background (purple outline) SF Papyrus, lowercase, purple, Comic Sans, white background (purple outline)

HT Papyrus, lowercase and uppercase, black, Papyrus, white (transparent) background

Mel, lowercase and uppercase, black, Myriad, white background.

Frisk, lowercase and uppercase, white, Arial, black background ( starts with *)

Some screenshots for visual support!

how did classic sans and pap react to stretch telling them about what happened?

Mostly worried about Axe, Mel and Blue's safety (+injuries, etc).

Papyrus was relieved to learn that Mel didn't run away bc of something he did or said while they were training though (+Blue wasn't some kind of hostage, that's a relief).

At the moment, they still don't know the details though. More on that later!

[seirindono]

if fell sans and papyrus met each other how would their reactions be?

UF Sans and Classic Papyrus?

Well they already met in the canon of TMS so that's a story for another day I guess? xD

Long story short: It went bad. But that was only the first impression.

I have returned with another thing I can't get out of my head 😞

Black sounds like the type to own either an old school motorcycle with flame patterns painted on it and spikes(bc old models are freaking fire sometimes, pun intended) or a very modern one with purple shine to it

And he'd be like a scary-looking motorcycle parent who every child fears. Like, imagine Frisk telling him they'll be late for school and Black goes "...*loud sigh* Alright, hop on" and when they arrive the kids are just staring at the two with Frisk sweetly smiling and Black not changing in the face, remaining rather stoic through the whole exchange before driving off

And Mel would be the scary-looking motorcycle parent who's actually like the sweetest parent in the whole town

He owns both but you won't get to see it cuz I don't have the patience to draw vehicles *sob*

Nailed the interraction though, it really sounds like something that he and Frisk (Mel too) would do xD He usually only takes them out for special occasions but Frisk knows how to be convincing.

He gets to scare off/impress kids too haha

[seirindono]

Since blue enjoys to mimic blacks expression how would he mimic reds or sans's(classic)? Also I love how you draw sans and red 🥰 red looks so handsome and cuddly I just wanna hug red hehehe

He's flattered you requested more of his amazing impressions, haha!

Also, I love Red too, shame he hasn't made an appearance in a while ('･-･ ` )

[seirindono]

Blue’s face while  teleporting was so funny he was like : what the hack we just teleported?

Don't be fooled by his looks, he's still very similar to Papyrus, ahah.

Meaning that he's always preferred walking to using shortcuts like the others sanses. In fact, as he points out a few pages later, he's well aware of how bad he is at this (and wanted to spare Mel the inconvenience).

Basically, he only uses it in emergencies or over very, very short distances to achieve precision. So doing it repeatedly with someone on board? Between the end of part 7 and the start of part 8, it's a miracle they didn't get stuck in a wall or crashed in someone's appartment lol

Still, you can't help but be a bit surprised when dropped mid air, ahah, maybe that was the last straw for them both.

So, The missing scarf involves a bunch of versions of Sans and Papyrus getting pulled into a timeline after true pacifist, correct? Correct.

However, I couldn't help but notice that all the versions of the skelebros fall into the 'Siblings in the second area, one involved with the royal guard, and the other the final boss in genocide' role, which poses my question:

If storyshift was involved in this, would it pull Papyrus and Sans because they're the skeletons, like everyone else who was taken before Mel, or would it take Chara and Asriel since they fulfil the role of Sans and Papyrus in their home universe?

A few clarifications before answering the main question!

TMS does indeed involve several AUs, but only the Classic and Underswap have experienced a true pacifist ending. The others alternate between neutral endings or haven't even met Frisk yet. I don't know if this is what you had in mind, but it's mostly a reminder for new readers!

As for who ends up in this timeline, it isn't related to their role but to their identity as "Sans" and "Papyrus", the skeleton brothers. In fact, that's one of the plot point of the series: How did they get there, and why these Monsters in particular? Especially since Mel's arrival breaks the pattern they're used to while also being a type of skeleton :)

So no, no Chara and Asriel from other AUs in TMS. I'd even say, no other AUs in general, this timeline is already too unstable with all these anomalies. It could implode at any minute.
