My name is Mohammed, and I am a husband and father of three amazing children. We live in Gaza, a place that was once filled with the vibrant energy of bustling markets, children playing in the streets, and the comforting presence of family and friends. Our city, with its beautiful coastline and historic charm, was a place where we could dream of a better future. đĽş
But today, that Gaza feels like a distant memory. The ongoing war has ravaged our home, leaving it severely damaged and our means of livelihood shattered. What was once a place of joy and community has turned into a zone of fear, with bombings that never cease and the constant struggle to secure basic necessities like food and clean water.
We are weary, and the daily struggle to survive in this war-torn reality has taken a heavy toll on us. The place that once gave us comfort and hope now feels dangerous and uncertain, and I worry about what the future holds for my children.
After much painful reflection, my family and I have made the heart-wrenching decision to leave Gaza in search of safety and a chance to rebuild our lives. We are trying to raise $40,000 to escape the war and cover our living expenses abroad for one year, giving us the time we need to find stability and start anew. đď¸
Leaving our beloved home, the place where we were born and raised, is not a decision we take lightly. But for the sake of our children and the hope of a safer, brighter future, we must take this step. đ
We humbly ask for your support. Any contribution, no matter how small, will bring us closer to our goal and help us begin the journey toward safety and a new life. đ
Thank you for your kindness, understanding, and generosity. đš

Random Strange Facts:
Papyrus is the only character to speak without an asterisk
Papyrusâs dialogue shakes on a consistent basis when no one elseâs does
Papyrus is described as âforgettable,â something only mentioned elsewhere in context with Goner Kid and Gaster
Papyrus seems to be able to see what the player is looking at when he calls them (âTHAT BAG OF DOG FOOD LOOKS FAMILIARâŚâ)
Papyrus seems to know that MTT has eyes before MTT becomes MTT Ex
Papyrus has a total of 2184 lines in the gameâmore than any other character, and almost as much as the narrator of the game, which is at 2418 lines. The next closest character is Undyne, with 1268 total lines.
Similar wording is used to describe Papyrus as it is to describe Gaster. (Itâs rude to talk about someone whoâs listening)
Papyrusâs theme, âNyeh heh heh/Bonetrousle,â is used in all of the trailers of the game
Papyrus and Sans break the 4th wall in the stream greenlight trailer, which shocks Toriel
Papyrus flies/breaks the laws of physics casually and seemingly on a regular basis
Papyrus is one of the few characters that refers to gameplay mechanics (âPRESS [C] ON THE KEYBOARD FOR DATING HUD!â âHOLD UP LONGER TO JUMP HIGHER, JEEZ!â)
Papyrus says himself that he knows nothing about his hands because he always keeps his gloves on.
There is nothing, nothing known about his past before his showing up to Snowdin. By the end of the game and after some research, you can basically know more about Gaster and Sans than you do about Papyrus, despite him having the most dialogue in the game besides the narrator.
Papyrus has such control over his magic in his fight, that he can make his attacks do zero damage because he refuses to kill the human.
You are healed to full HP right before the Papyrus fight, as well as immediately after if you are captured.
Papyrus doesnât seem to realize that Frisk is a kid, despite Frisk wearing a striped shirt, which is a common indicator for childhood in monster society. (is he unfamiliar with common monster culture, for some reason?)
Sans reads Papyrus bed time stories on a regular basis, but Papyrus himself never seems to sleep
The Undertale Q&A that Toby Fox did for Undertaleâs anniversary revolves around Papyrus
His defense raises in the spare phase of his fight, unlike every other monster. He seems to be able to manipulate his own stats.
Relationships:
The two 4th wall breaking characters (Flowey and the Annoying Dog) seem to have a special interest in Papyrus
Annoying Dog:
Steals bone attacks on two separate occasions (Papyrus fight and aborted Genocide hangout, in which the âspecial attackâ is hinted to be Gaster Blasters)
Steals bones in general on two occasions (Under Papyrusâs sink and during the hangout with Undyne)
Eats Papyrusâs lasagna
Snuggles with Papyrus
Flowey:
Says Papyrus started a âFlowey Fan Clubâ
Says Papyrus took a long time to get boring on his repeated runs
Asks Papyrus to call Frisk before the True lab, gather everyone together before the True Ending, and probably leave a note in Alphysâ trash can
Flowey is the only one who knows Papyrusâs favorite food, which is dinosaur oatmeal (no, itâs not spaghetti. Papyrus has never eaten it.)
When Flowey attacks the group during the True Pacifist fight, he binds everyone with two vines, except Papyrusâwho he binds with four.
Sans (overlooking the bounteous brotherly goodness of the two):
Papyrus lies to him on a consistent basis
This is to probably humor Sans about his level of knowledge?
Papyrus still expects Sans to know more about Papyrus than Papyrus does himself?
Papyrus acts negatively towards Sansâs puns, but then turns around and makes the most (and arguably best) puns in the game out of anyone
Personality:
Doesnât outwardly acknowledge criticism
According to Sans, he is trash-talked a lot
May have self-worth issues
Extremely blasĂŠ about his own death
Doesnât seem to have friends, despite working very hard to get them
He phrases things in really strange ways. (âUNMANDATE IT SAFERâ)
Papyrus staunchly refuses to really hurt people, despite it being very likely that he could be just as hard or harder of a fight than Sans
He has a strong and unshakeable belief that people can change (does he know this from personal experience?)
He hates Grillbyâs and Hotland
He is an amazing artist
He considers himself a great chef, even if he doesnât necessarily eat what he cooks
Quotes:
âDEADLY SPIKES, PRECARIOUS BRIDGES! TRULY THE PILLARS OF YOUTH!â
[when dying] âALAS, POOR PAPYRUS. [this is quoting Shakespeare while heâs dying] WELL, AT LEAST I HAVE MY HEAD!â

âWELL, IF YOU WANT TO GET SOMEONE TO OPEN UP, YOU SHOULD ENGAGE THEM IN COMBAT! HUM HUM HUMâŚâ â before the Shyren encounter. This is one of the few times where Papyrus actually gives you something helpful, but how does he know?

HAS ANYONE MADE A SLENDERVERSE CHONNY AU YET??? I THINK IM A GENIUS THIS IS LIKE THE FIRST GOOD THOUGHT IVE HAD IN YEARS
Iâm watching Jessica jones and like when Kilgrave is on the screen my brain goes âITS THE BESTEST SILLY MAN. SEND DOPAMINEâ and then I have to gently remind myself that he is not the baby here. In this twisted world he is evil and it makes me sad.
