‘By Looking Far Out Into Space, We Are Also Looking Far Back Into Time, Back Toward The Horizon Of

lol now im just imagining voldemort in the middle of brutally torturing snape to death stopping and being like 'oh sorry my bad'

no but seriously. i love how snape has such a calm and understated way of recounting what must have been a tremendously harrowing experience.

The most striking thing about Papyrus (aside from his limitless positivity) is the fact that it is literally impossible to die in a fight against him. Even Toriel, who starts purposefully missing you once your health gets low enough, can accidentally kill you, but Papyrus? It is literally impossible. Papyrus has incredible control over his power! Wow, what a great and impressive skeleton. And, even though he could probably deal some legit damage to you on the murder run, his only action is to spare you, because he’s heckin worried about this little emotionless murder child.

A lot of people like swap aus where Sans is the one that dies and Papyrus is forced to shed his naivete and face you going all-out, which makes sense, but also, Papyrus is just so. Papyrus. I feel like if Papyrus had to be the final murder-run boss, it’d be more like, “After losing Sans, the world seems like a different place. I can’t imagine what you must’ve gone through for you to see the world the way you do.”

He only has one attack, but it’s a really long one and powerful one (kind of like Sans’ before his ‘special attack’), plus he talks during it, which would be pretty distracting. whenever he gets your hp down to 1, combat automatically stops and you’re ejected back into the judgement room. if you try to talk to him without healing, he’ll just say you’re too hurt - a gust of wind could knock you over! after you heal at the conveniently placed save point and go back to fight him, he has stuff to say about how you don’t have to be alone, you don’t have to do this, you might think there isn’t any good in you and it’s too late to change, but there is and it isn’t! After a few of those, he’ll talk about Undyne and Sans, and they always tried to help him, even when they thought he wouldn’t notice. He’s got a ton of stories about that. After he says his piece there’s an option to either fight or don’t fight, and every time you pick fight he looks disappointed, but he goes all out. He’s always able to be spared.

if you survive his attack, he goes down in one hit. his last words would probably be an apology, even though he tried really hard he still couldn’t show you a better path

PLEASE watch this. i love chaotic sisters best dynamic in the world

they are so lovely

people often claim that oh, papyrus is too naive, that’s why he got killed in the no mercy route, etc, but like

if we only take record of the people who’ve completed the no mercy route, then of course 100% of the time he’s dead. but i’ve seen countless people get to papyrus’s non-fight and abort their NM run because either they couldn’t reject his genuine offer to help them become a better person, or they killed him and got so guilty that they reset.

a LOT of people found themselves unable to bear his kindness. it’s not insignificant, i think. sticking to his morals and offering a killer the chance to redeem themself really did end a no mercy path before the world was destroyed, at least a few times.

they are totally arguing and bickering from the two opposite lines of the war because it's the funniest thing ever like there is a mess of droids and clone fighting up on the ground and then you have two sith/jedi masters howling at each other through the force to cover the noise "you had at least FIVE BILLIONS OCCASIONS to introduce me to your padawan and you tell me YOU FORGOT" "excuse me i would have said something if i wasnt distracted by how horrid your tea and cookies are" "QUI GON"

Dooku being more outraged by Qui-gon’s comments about his tastes than the actual battle is 👌🏻👌🏻

Rough drawing of this silly idea I got that I really wanted to draw.

You know when you and your friends are getting scolded and suddenly one of your friend starts making a face and you gotta try not to laugh, but now everything is funny? Yeah.

Brook wasn't even doing anything, he was just sitting there taking the earful like a champ.

some sketches inspired by this post by @sulkybender that turned into a sort of comic? i just have a very clear vision of how this would go down 😭
