Another Papy doodle cause why not

[sinnamontoastc]

i saw this twitter screenshot on pinterest and my brain went 'haha papyrus knight theory'

okay. so i did some theorycrafting. (this is a joke and not meant to be taken seriously i just have a bit with my friends where i try to prove papyrus is the knight at every teeny tiny little hint)

uh chapter 3 spoilers i think? anyways *ahem*

my papyrus and dess are the same person and also the knight theory (this is crack treated seriously)

IN whichever year dess was conceived CAROL HOLIDAY had an AFFAIR with WING DING GASTER THE ROYAL SCIENCE which caused a rift between carol and rudy which led to rudy figuring out he was gay but that's UNIMPORTANT!! ANYWAYS

DECEMBER HOLIDAY was born as a SKELETON/DEER HYBRID MONSTER. when they were young they LOOKED LIKE A DEER but when they went through MONSTER PUBERTLY all their FUR FELL OFF TO REVEAL A SKELETON !! (normal puberty things)

then PLOT TWIST! dess realises HE'S actually TRANSMASC and uses HE/HIM PRONOUNS and goes by PAPYRUS. he meets his half-brother sans (because gaster had another son before him!!) sometime during his identity journey. CAROL IS A CAPITALIST AND EVIL AND PAPYRUS DOSEN'T LIKE HER SO HE RUNS AWAY TO LIVE WITH SANS. SOMETIME AFTER THAT he decides to do WHATEVER THE KNIGHT DOES and ALSO!! undertale papyrus lived in SNOWDIN. which is covered in? SNOW. what is snow associated with?

DECEMBER.

FREAKING.

HOLIDAYS.

THEREFORE.

YOU CAN'T HIDE THE EVIDENCE: PAPYRUS UNDERTALE IS THE KNIGHT (AND ALSO DESS)!!!!!!!11!!!!1!!!!!1111!

i made a helpful graph

(this is a joke. again.)

Nothing in the world will top the trope of a mad scientist adopting his experiments and feeling like he has been alive for the first time ever since he got them

alright, over the years, ive never been able to reach a conclusion with this guy and i know just the website to ask such meaningless questions to

disregarding that toby has already stated that papyrus doesnt know what sex is, because we are working more on vibes than word of god here...

what is papyrus undertale's view on sex post-canon

he learns/knows and he is positive on the subject

he learns/knows and he is repulsed by the subject

he doesnt know, but he would be positive if he did

he doesnt know, but he would be repulsed if he did

in between / nuance / kymeru jumpscare / etc

to explain! i would like to know the general consensus to consider for characterization reasons. i want him to show up in @ask-returntale as a friend to florasys, but theres some quite suggestive jokes in the comic, so i want to know how everyone thinks pap would approach that stuff when i figure out how to make him show up lmao. i am leaning towards
