HI ME AND MY MOM CANT MAKE RENT THIS MONTH PLEASE RB THIS !!
send an ask or DM me to ask about a commission!
Do you have any fanfic recs for undertale?
Oh boy DO I! IÂŽve really been into Undertale fics for the past months so here are some of my favourites:
- My Big Fat Fish Holiday Party by andreabandrea which I recently drew fanart for, so you probably know about it already. ItÂŽs about Papyrus and Undyne being besties and pretending to be straight, hands down the funniest Undertale fic IÂŽve seen thus far.
- The Scientist by talkingsoup, a Gaster-centric fic about him spiralling into madness in his pursuit of resetting time to before the creation of the barrier. Really good character writing and although not explicitly shippy it has some delightfully messed up sanster vibes
- Bandages , Snowdin's Boys and It's Raining Right Here all by kaliawai512. Tbh all of their fics are great, just go through their profile and read whatever piques your interest, itÂŽs all gonna be guaranteed to rule. I mostly read the ones focussed on Sans and Papyrus ofc.
- No Rain by Digi_Wears_Googles, a story focussing on Sans and Frisk post-pacifist ending, basically about the whole concept of Sans still struggling with leaving the resets behind and believing in a future on the surface. Once again, really good characterization, esp. for side characters like Alphys, Undyne and Asgore, too. Finally gonna take this opportunity to recommend my own fics ofc so here goes nothing:
- How to set a broken soul, a multichapter Mercyplates fic - punishment, a Sans-centric story set after an aborted genocide run - of secrets and promises, my attempt at a Soriel one-shot set after the true pacifist ending
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 FAMILIARâŠâ)
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 blasé 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
âI WOULD NEVER TAKE A VACATION FOR ANY REASON!â
Undyne: âPapyrus⊠doesnât know how to sleep??â
âI WANT TO MEET DEATH!â
âYOU CAN SEE YOUR REFLECTION IN A PUDDLE, BUT⊠DONâT LET A BODY OF WATER DETERMINE YOUR SELF WORTH!â
âITâS MY LEAST FAVORITE NIGHTMARE!â â referring to Hotland lasers and conveyors
âA MYSTERIOUS SCIENCE HOUSE. [âŠ] LABORADOR-Y?â When talking about Alphysâs lab with Sans present.
âA LAB?? MY BROTHER WOULD LOVE THAT!â âwhen talking about Alphysâs lab without Sans present.
âICE CREAM? THANKS, BUT I LIVE IN SNOWDIN! THEREâS ICE CREAM ALL OVER THE GROUND!â âwhen talking about ice cream when Sans is present.
âI TRIED TO CAPTURE YOU⊠WHEREâS MY ICE CREAM.â âwhen talking about ice cream without Sans present.
âSTOP LOOKING IN MY EMPTY MAIL BOX. THATâS MY EMPTINESS, NOT YOURS.â
âI AM A PRETTY BRUTAL KIND OF GUY.â
âHOTLAND! I KNOW IT LIKE THE BACK OF MY HAND. WHICH, SINCE IâM ALWAYS WEARING GLOVES⊠I DONâT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT!â
âWELL, IF YOU WANT TO GET SOMEONE TO OPEN UP, YOU SHOULD ENGAGE THEM IN COMBAT! HUM HUM HUMâŠâ â before the Shyren encounter. This is one of the few times where Papyrus actually gives you something helpful, but how does he know?
Links for additional reading/theories(most links to @batter-sempai, @papyrus-knows, and @queenofdragons6 posts and reblogs): Optimism does not make Papyrus naive Papyrus casually breaking laws of physics Strange music (or lack of) in Papyrusâs room Brutal kind of guy screenshots Some disturbing connections Some suspicious screenshots Part 3 of a sans theory where the writer realizes Papyrus is ridiculously mysterious Chara and Papyrus similaritiesâtheyâre always smiling!

making a monster !! it's a harem fic, but blues so funny in it! it's by absurdmageart !!
Me, about my favorite AU sanses to read in fanfiction: âI like underswap sans ok, but not romantically, everyone always depicts him like a hyperactive child and thatâs a big no thank you.â
Me reading fics where swap!sans has been written as an openly flirtatious, mischievous, complete yandere, who is secretly manipulative, and very keen to remind you that he is the OLDER brother actually thank you very much:
This is what sans looks like cannon
god seeing people afraid to id as ace/aro because "what if it is just a phase? what if it is just hormones? what if it is just mental illness? what if I do find "the right person?"" makes me so righteously angry because I promise you, I promise no one in the community is going to revoke your aspec card on account of hypotheticals. if someone told you that then the stupid motherfucker lied to you. you do not look at water and go "well I'm not sure if I should drink this, because if the temperature drops below zero, it'll turn to ice." relax. let yourself just be. drink the water if you're thirsty. because it's water right now. doesn't matter if it'll be ice by tomorrow, or mist by next tuesday. it's water and you can drink it if you want to.
i think aromantics should get $50
good things will happen đ§ż
things that are meant to be will fall into place đ§ż

for some reason, when janus pointed at his hat i went "YOU ATE THE HAMSTER??" so :\
real pic of janus without the hat on
ok so the context is that i was talking my brother about the discrepancies between ralseiâs sprites, and mentioned his different outfits (the hem of his ch 1 outfit is frayed and has green sleeves, and he wears a slightly redder colored scarf, and his ch 2 outfit has a clean hem, black sleeves (it actually looks like heâs wearing a backless dress? king. and pinker scarf) and i joked saying he overslept the day kris and susie showed up and didnât have anything else to wear. post ch 1 he makes himself a new outfit :]

Thatâs right! While I donât know that I ever technically announced that commissions were closed⊠Iâve definitely been too busy to take them on. But my scheduleâs opened up a bit, and so I feel comfortable opening for a limited number of sketch commissions.
If youâd like a piece of art like the examples aboveâa single character in loose lines and monochrome, with simple shading and basic backgroundânowâs your chance [to be a big shot]! Obviously Undertale-themed commissions are accepted, but I can also draw non-Undertale characters and OCs as long as you provide a reference or description. However, I am not willing to draw NSFW, excessive gore, or robots (nothing against robots theyâre just hard to draw :âD), so donât send those XD You can either DM me or send an ask with your details.
For now, Iâll open for 5 slots to start, filled on a first-come-first serve basis. Once those are filled, I will not take more commissions until they are complete and delivered. After that, I may open again depending on my schedule. Payment can be taken via Paypal or Ko-fi, and Iâll start your piece once I receive the full amount due.
Slots:
