I’m SO EXCITED. SO SO EXCITED, you guys.
One of my favorite authors, @alwerakoo just posted their fantastic fic, ‘Dream About Me’.
Did it make me cry? Yes.
Did I also compulsively have the need to draw some rough scenes for the story? Also yes.

The things I drew aren’t 100% accurate because good lord my art couldn’t possibly do this fic justice. Just wonderful.
It’s got everything, unreliable narrators, road trips, healing relationships after traumatic events WOOHOO
The story is Leo and Mikey centric but let me be clear, every one of these characters hits the mark with characterization and dialogue and the descriptions of the landscapes in the American West are just ASDOIHAOSIDHOSAHFOISAHFOIASFHOFH WHY ARE YOU STILL READING MY BS GO READ IT

But also I'm not 100% sold on the idea that Medic revived Sniper like, intentionally to be malicious to the tfc people. I think he just wasn't fully integrated into them yet, and thus didn't really see how it'd be "playing both teams (fortress 2)" to revive Sniper after one of his new teammates shot him, bc he is still on Sniper's team in his head. I don't really think Medic seemingly not understanding that When We Shot Him We Wanted Him Dead You Useless Kraut Fuck was an act - obviously this is hard to read over webcomic text, but his sheer glee when he's going on and on about his Great Medical Achievement seems genuine. Think it's best to read Medic reviving Sniper not as a "Medic hates the tfc team the entire time he's on it" beat but as a "Medic actually likes his friends and wants to do things to help them" moment
Some cute Malleus facts from the Pajama Bday vignette:
He loiters everywhere but thinks Ramshackle really is unmatched. He's a bit disappointed he can't go there in the dead of night.
He reviews the day's lessons every night.
He talks to his gargoyles lmfao
The dragon statue in his room is a gargoyle of his own creation and is his masterpiece.
He lights up an incense that smells like the forest and makes him feel like he's back home.
He goes around the school to take gargoyles back to his clubroom to do repair work on them for free.
He writes in the school feedback that they should reinforce the floors strong enough to withstand 50 gargoyles.
It's hard for him to wake up in the morning because he's a nocturnal fae.
He has a very efficient morning routine because he uses magic to do everything at the same time, but he loses track of time when he has to choose what color he wants his makeup to be.
Although black is his preferred color because it's Briar Valley's symbol of nobility, he doesn't shy away at the idea of using red lipstick because the Thorn Fairy prefers that for herself, or violet just to be different.
He yawns loudly, but worries that his grandmother would scold him if he lets himself be seen in that kind of state.
Generally, the confirmation we got really is that he's not just "a natural" where everything just goes perfectly for him. He puts great effort behind the scenes, not just in his hobbies but also in academics and his appearance as well.
This really did a lot to present him to us as someone relatable and works hard behind his perfect persona!

So, everyone should know about 'Papyrus's battle body', it's something I've been pointing aggressively at for years to point out that his brother is a liar-
Contradicting what he says, during the hang out, Papyrus specifies that he wears his special clothes underneath his 'REGULAR CLOTHES'.
Then the interview came out and it turns out I was wrong.. Papyrus's battle body is indeed....
...
....HANG ON A SECOND.
What the interview confirms is that Papyrus does indeed have a battle body, but what's also been confirmed is that it's not his clothes. But there's also an important question to factor in: Does what his brother say, have any merit? Was this 'battle body' made a few weeks ago for a party?
I've mentioned this before but it's very important for this theory, there's a post on the Undertale tumblr that relates to this:
"not everyone is as tough as my brother." - immediately starts talking about Shyren for some reason. "they say those without blame should cast the first stone." (Is this implying something happened to Papyrus that someone could be blamed for?)
Anyway, Shyren's form in battle is made of 2 different monsters, the body is 'Shyren's agent'.
Papyrus loses his head when killed, and his body dusts, then his head. They both have different dust patterns.
"Papyrus's body and head have different dust patterns because it's his battle body but not his battle head" - @fluo-skeletons
If I can make an assumption from the Undertale changelog, dust patterns are changed for each individual monster. There was some extensive research done before I found this, including checking dust pattern related to monster size, HP, EXP, G, and none of them seemed to line up.. Was this patch note intentional for these connections to be made?

What I'm saying is that Papyrus's entire body was made, and he didn't always look how we see him in the game. But this leads to one of the biggest mysteries of Papyrus, what or who is he?
There's not a character that's canonically been shattered to pieces that speaks just like he does, there is never any implication he can read wingdings either so ignore that
He can walk/run through the air, he acknowledges things that implies he knows he's in a game, and how games themselves function. He's implied the ability to use a save file, he can use blasters, his bedroom is silent. It's implied he's been inside the true lab, or at least Alphys's lab. He's implied that he can see from your perspective (NOT FRISK'S, YOURS.), the annoying dog annoys him the most, he can change game UI and take over the whole screen.
Who else has done that?
12 Raph would be a horrible influence on Rise Mikey. Like 12 Raph is a chronic swearer both in English and in Japanese and he can be incredibly rude to people he doesn't like and I just picture him accidentally saying something to Rise Mikey like:
"Oh?? Someone's messing with you?? Beat their ass, show them who's boss. Let them know who the top dog is."
And Rise Mikey's kinda like:
"Huh, so go unhinged? Actually that might help me out thanks-"
It'd be little things like that. Just 12 Raph much like with his own little brother 12 Mikey, encouraging Rise Mikey to go absolutely batshit nuts.
It's a friendship that only the artist besties could share lol.
it’s not fucking tinnitus idiot that’s my guardian angel speaking to me
best part of princess bride is that inigo loudly and openly states to anybody who will listen that he's going to kill a guy for revenge and has been chasing this for a while and instead of anybody saying "but revenge wont bring ur father back are u really sure that killing this guy will make anything better arent u scared of regretting the one thing uve spent ur entire life chasing" they're all just like "yea dude sounds cool hope you find him" and then he does and inigo kills him and is just "aw cool my dads avenged now i can go ride off into the sunset with my friends" and i think thats actually really great. yea maybe revenge isnt always the answer but it sure does make you feel better
