OH MY GOD

So I found @leshyleaf ‘s @shifter-au (which totally did not have me sobbing like a baby in front of my computer screen, no siree) and this little scene popped in my mind… So here I am, starting the party on this sideblog with this : )

[shifter-au]

nono, this is cool >:]

so i kinda wasnt ok with how the font for the official stats menu for shifter paps wasnt determination mono or the actual papyrus font (no offense)

(photo from the @shifter-au blog)

so i decided to make it with the papyrus font!

apologies, the end bit is kinda squished in bc of how big the pap font is and the gold amount mheheh

so to @leshyleaf and @shifter-au im also sorry if this offended u or if the font for the actual one was meant to be that way

SICK PALLET AND EVEN SICK-ER ART

This pallet and papyrus

It's been done <3

But I didn't just draw an ordinary Papyrus!

It's @leshyleaf 's Shifter AU Paps with his BFF Flowey!

goopy arm... skeletons often emit slime.

[shifter-au]

yooo you’re right on the money with this! I haven’t touched on it at all, but in my version of the au at least, shifters do have a sort of…sixth sense for feelings of love and affection. (you should be able to smell your food, haha.) also, I love this dialogue and your artstyle so much aaaahh

So there's this cool AU called @shifter-au about Papyrus being a shapeshifter that feeds on love and is trying to keep his identity a secret (Flowey knows though).

I had this idea floating around my head for a while and I was gonna pitch it to @leshyleaf before remembering I can actually draw it myself now.

Go check out Leshy's art, they have this sweet cartoony style that looks great in their comic.

[shifter-au]

aye thank you so much for drawing this though!! I love your angular style he looks so COOL

Tried to do the shifter au papyrus??? Not sure if it worked. I dont really know what I'm supposed to say when I'm drawing other people's aus? @shifter-au if you wanna look at their stuff??? I think that's ther right person I'm tagging. I hope so.

SEQUEL START!!

<-Previous (needed for some context!) Next (coming probably soon!)->

PREQUEL

alright, here we go…! If you are seeing this posted, it means I have finally stitched together what some may call a resemblance of a storyline for this comic. (If you want, make sure to check out the asks Tag on this blog for kind of a lot of context and complimentary information!)

((it should also be noted that the art style will probably change a little from here on out, as I try to retain my sanity by simplifying, and as wilwoo helps make these 😎✌️))

YOOO HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS ITS SO RAD

Ok so I had like little idea in my head about the shifter au, so we know when genocide happens, Papyrus joins Frisk's party and sabotages there chance of kill the rest of the underground. Then Frisk meet sans in the judgment hall and Frisk strikes sans down when he's exhausted but Papyrus takes the hit instead to protect his bro.

Soooooooo... Like what happens after words. Also I like to believe that Papyrus remembers the resets but sans doesn't. So in this lil comic I made is about how Frisk continue this behavior and tries to kill Sans but Papyrus had enough and fights Frisk.

Killing them and shatters there soul. Papyrus stills believes in them but it crosses the line when it comes to his brother.

Oh this is the blog if you want to see more about this au @shifter-au

flowey convinces papyrus to turn into asgore gone wrong

[shifter-au]

THIS IS SO INSANELY COOL!!

Some fanart for the @shifter-au created by @leshyleaf

This AU has such an interesting premise! Looking forward to learning more about it :)

Hello Ello!

İ have read through alllll the shifter tag and I'm in love! Also crying but that's beside the point soo

My i ask five head canons? Or if that is too general, some Chara nameless interactions?

They’re friends…

PAPYRUS IS GOOPY BC HE HAD TO STRETCH HIMSELF TALLER THAN NAMELESS WAS!! I'VE CONNECTED THE DOTS

yeah, I guess he just never quite snapped all the way back into place. Like stretching a rubber band too far, and now it’s now it’s like. A slightly longer, softer rubber band LOL

[shifter-au]

So I noticed that "Papyrus" in shifter form has one eye and when taking forms of Flowey or Annoying Dog, one eye is missing in those forms. But... when taking on Papyrus' form, it looks like he has two sockets.

How does this work?

Yessss good question.

So, a shifter’s host form is a direct copy of their host. Of course, papyrus would still look like a seven year old if this stayed true, but shifting their host forms ever so slightly as time passes to simulate aging is something that their biology allows, because if they didn’t evolve to do that, they’d be found out pretty quick lol.

Anyway, because their host forms are copies, papyrus has the og pap’s two eye sockets. However, any other form they shift into are created by the shapeshifters themselves usually, and therefore can sometimes contain more features that the shifter actually has. (Like a truer reflection).

So, yeah! If he were copying somebody with two or more eyes, he might expend that little extra effort to add another eye in there. However, when he’s just hopping around as a dog, or a mouse, or a flower, he may just let his eye naturally just not be there. (Considering he always sees like he only has one eye, he may not even notice he’s doing this lol)

watching u grow up from afar

[shifter-au]

I require more scene kid shifter paps.

Oh yea, did sans ever have an embarrassing phase too? I'd like to imagine paps poking at him about it too

As you wish ~

As for Sans, I imagine he went through a somewhat rebellious “screw authority!” phase at some point growing up. (I mean. Imo you could count ‘growing up’ itself as an embarrassing phase LOL.)

Papyrus having to raise a child by himself probably wasn’t easy. It’s impossible to get along all the time, and it’s especially hard when you’re both just kids trying to figure the world out. They’ve had their bad days for sure.

Anyway, here’s some goofy Lilo and Stitch redrawss hehaw

[shifter-au]

Here is my optional sequel to THIS COMIC made by the wonderful @theindigoaphrodite lol
