🎉HAPPY BDAY TO CROSS & JAKEI🎉
Cross still using X!Toriel’s nickname from when he was a kid everyone shut uppp 💔💔💔
public execution of xgaster soon!!
art by Jakei95
I was rewatching timeline V from the Xtale movie and I still can’t get over this background shot of Cross. Like who was he sitting with??? Why was he (presumably) sweating in the second picture????
yeah i’ll just die actually how about that
This is literally so much funnier when you look at Jakei’s posts. Like look at how stupid he looks here. And he can lift an entire bus. I’m sorry but that’s hilarious.
really funny to me that cross is canonically 4’7 but 99% of portrayals of him have him as this big tall buff alpha guy. by god he is not 6’0 or more his ass don’t tower over nothin!! i think cross meeting Very Tall him would make him mad i think. i could have been turbo type thing but with height
sanses in general portrayed as really tall is funny to me. they are like one pixel taller than a child who’s like 11 or something. this guy is small. i want more selfship art of them but if you/your sona is taller they have to bend down to kiss. carry under the armpits like cat. come on. or like general ships with characters taller than them. soriel but sans is carried in her purse like a white fluffy dog.
its also really funny too in a multiversal way again. the guys who destroyed everything you love in the most brutal ways are armrest height at most. and the people expected to save you are also armrest height at best but one of them is so especially short he would probably drown in a rain puddle.
I have MORE art with Cross in his old uniform..
LOOK AT HOW COOL HIM AND BLUE LOOK!!!
Idk if people look at Jakei’s instagram BUT she posted some sketch art of Cross in his old royal guard uniform back in 2020 ish??
Anyways just wanted to say that I love this sososo much and I’m never deleting it from my photo gallery 💔💔
I just realized right now that I really want to know how long Cross was stuck in the void for. I should’ve put in a question in Jakei’s ask box but I wounded up asking about XPapyrus like the stupid fan girl I am. CURSES!!!

Can someone make a fan fiction of Papyrus just adopting Cross? Thank you.
I watched the new episode.. hoooo boy.
MAJOR UNDERVERSE 0.8 PART 1 SPOLIERS
————
LOOK GUYS!!! ITS XPAPYRUS!!! XPAPYRUS XPAPYRUS I LOVE XPAPYRUS!!
WE FINALLY GOT TO SEE HIM ANIMATED!!! AFTER LIKE TWO YEARS!! YES!!!!!
ANYWAYS. Papyrus appreciation aside, the new underverse episode was pretty good!! The animation had very noticeable improvements, and the soundtrack mare this episode so much more enjoyable.
I can’t bear to keep my mouth shut, so here’s some of my personal favourite scenes in the episode!
————
1. X!TORIEL’S NEW POWERS ARE SOOOOO INTERESTING TO ME. I absolutely loved watching this part auuuugh….
“THE CLOSER TO HER SORROW, THE STRONGER THE ILLUSION HOLDS.”
The fact that she can shape and manipulate the world around her really shows the impact that the loss of her family and her universe has had on her. As a motherly figure to not only her children, but towards the royal guards, she clearly feels a deep remorse over realizing that her loved ones could possibly never feel the joy and innocence of their childhood again.
As stated by X!Toriel herself:
“The sorrow of a mother is one of the hardest feelings to purge from the soul.”
She’d obviously feel compelled to gift just a fragment of that happiness to her family even if it meant creating a purely false reality, because that’s what she believes what her role is as a parent.
As said in the episode, she was compelled by those few good memories from all of the timelines from XTALE, and she chose to keep her eyes closed and to attempt to dissociate herself from the dilemma of her universe and of the present events.
While she is still overwritten by X!Gaster, her instincts as a Queen and her overpowering companion still prevent her from killing others.
And possibly because she views the citizens in this universe as her own from XTALE..
YOUR HONOUR, SHE DOESN’T DESERVE THIS. 💔💔💔💔
2. THIS scene.
I love that Jakei continues to show to us that Cross hasn’t forgotten his duties as a royal guard and that he probably never will. BUTTT I’m not entirely sure if Cross kneeled on his own or if Asgore was controlling him to do so, but I personally think that Cross just did it by himself.
Otherwise, still an awesome scene.
3. FINALLY. MY FAVOURITE. BROTHERLY ANGST!!!!
Oooouh man….
To me, I feel like X!Papyrus had to have been SOMEWHAT present here, even under X!Gaster’s control. Yes, this technically all still a part of the illusion, but, like many of the XTALE characters, X!Papyrus must still have a fraction of his mentality that he’s able to control.
But, like, it’s right here that I think that X!Papyrus shows a trace of legitimate remorse from unknowingly hurting his brother. I love it, but man it hurts.
CONTINUING ON:
GODDDDDD. I CANT. Cross clearly still cares so much for all of his family, especially his brother, considering that he literally erased his entire universe and was trapped in isolation for who knows how long. He’s had to come to terms with his failure as a protector and an older sibling, to remind himself of the blood that stains his hands. EVEN after murdering hundreds of monsters and storing his hollow soul full of hostility, he can’t abide to witness his younger brother conceive in the same acts sinful as him.
ITS JUST HISVUEVUSBINSUSVUNS I WANT TO DIEEEEE (this shot is awesome though)
Ranting aside, very cool episode. It’s probably my favourite one out of season 2 just from the animation alone. I do have a few very very very minor nitpicks, but it won’t stop me from rewatching this again. After this, Jakei definitely deserves the long break that she’s getting, and I’m hoping to see more interactions between the xbros in the future!!!
ALSO, be aware that I’m obviously not a professional analyst, so I’m very sorry if my interpretations on certain scenes feel completely wrong or confusing. I wrote all of this at 2am and I don’t feel like spending any more time on writing this than I already havee..
Okay if I don’t see a bunch of fan art of the papyrus fight after underverse 0.8 I’m actually gonna throw a tantrum. /hj
LIKE. LOOK AT HOW COOL THEY LOOK????
LOOK AT HOW AWESOME XPAPYRUS LOOKS IN THIS SHOT??? AND YOU’RE TELLING ME HE HAS A SPECK OF DUST AS HIS FANBASE??? COME ON!!!! LOOK AT HIM. LOOK.
