Ok anyways yeah 2 am. And i just. Rambling timee

This will most def be gone tomorrow but anyways

Most of the time ive been called a villain apologist and ykw? Yeah, i am

I never felt a big enough attachment to the pure and morally white heroes, not at all. Their actions never really hitted me the way that someone who was opressed by society fighting for their own ideals hitted. In one hand you had a person with the upper hand, fighting for something the entire society believed was right, while the other fought for something they believed would be better, and i do think this is also the approach id have towards stuff anyways, because i don't want rules being pushed onto me

I wanted to form my *own* living world, and in a sense i feel this is one of the reasons of why i just. Really enjoy toga and dabi as characters

And even when they actually are fully evil? They're still great and a lot of fun! Sure, i can't fully relate but there's something so great about a villain who acts this way just because they *can*!

Still, people always told me i was in the wrong for this, and i think this is where came a very specific love and interest of mine: blank characters. Characters who have nothing on them, you are the one writing them and their story, be it on a game, story, series or anything else! They just feel so much more interesting than this because they arent someone who will be the same for everyone, and while my first experience with such a thing were rpg maker games like Ib and Yume Nikki, where the character didn't really have a strong personality and could have been seen as different interpretations... I think there's two main points i had during my life with these blank characters: undertale and vocaloid

Let me start talking by the possible simplest one to understand: all the frisk's and chara's are different from others in undertale, they're never the same. Someone can see chara as the villain who made frisk kill everyone, other sees chara as a traumatized child who watched *you*, the player, kill everyone important to them. They're blank characters, frisk themselves has no personality at *all*, just following your instructions at the game to complete it with no problems and finish a pacifist, neutral or genocide route. ALL of these frisks are different, and i think that's most noticeable by your "level" in the game, it shows that yes, it's still frisk, but something is different: they arent "good" anymore, but morally grey

They were a blank state, and you ended up filling frisk with blood

And i think this was the first time a blank character ended up getting a LOT of attention from media. Undertale is honestly amazing and i never understood why i felt so much attachment to it and these two specific characters until recently: they dont have a fixed personality, im the one who's supposed to interpret them however i want

... but then i think about vocaloid in general

People never understood when i said that "miku is one of my favorite characters" — even if that was a lie, because my favorite vocaloid is another one, miku is still extremely special to me

And why? A lot of people ask, she doesnt has any personality at all at first view, being portrayed as this cute girl or just sad teen in other songs is not like she had a fixed personality, right?

Except this is exactly why i love vocaloid as a whole, in a way

None of the characters here have a fixed and fully developed personality going for them. Sure, there are some stereotypes for some vocaloids, but they have almost 0 canon background, on some we know their profession or favorite food and that stuff but they have *no* story or personality at all... And that's what made me love them so closely

Am i feeling sad? There will be a song that i could listen to, no problem. Am i happy? Hell, let me fucking blast mitchie m and dance. Am i just feeling numb and close to dissociating? No problem, i can listen to some of wowaka's amazing work and slowly come back from it

I had everything, even when i was 9 years and just learned about it — the full range of musical styles and composers never left me, specially my favorite ones with the exception new voices — both as vocaloids and composers — came into scene, hell, i'll never forget the shock it was when i first saw my personal fave kwbdkdh

Still, i can never explain to people why it's so important to me

A community where people arent afraid to make songs about controversial and somewhat heavy topics, but still lighthearted and fun most times, with amazing artists and being the sole reason i went back to doing professional dance...

Still, i can *never* find the words

I guess that just comes with liking blank characters after all, they dont have something fix to them, people are the one who write them, and you cant do anything but end up attaching to your own personal idea of them

Anyways yeah sibdksjs 2 am i should sleep by

That is honestly how Sans probably felt like, lone denizen trapped in a corner, face-to-face with the brother-killer and destroyer of worlds. A demon spawn that ironically descend from high above. What is he truly up against? He can only stall his own destruction against the face of pure determination. One mistake and it’s all over, no saves, no resets…erased.

Ex Umbra

What he is truly against is a being know as The Anomaly, an extradimensional existence whose patience is matched only by their lust for entertainment. Sans did nothing to earn this mad god’s ire. His only true sin was being…interesting.

The Smash Dancers Although we look at Sans as like, super powerful and unbeatable… honestly it has to be the scariest thing to have been in Sans’s place. Knowing your enemy would just keep coming back after beating it until you die, like your fate is sealed by that person. GOD THATS TERRIFYING.

Nicholas Craig-Porth Chara is a lovecraft god.

From another comment section:

theprofessionalwizard I bet Sans is the one who took Papyrus’ gift out from under the community tree. No point for it to be there now. Just imagine him, holding the carelessly wrapped toy robot, thinking about how he should have put some more effort into the wrapping, into his puzzles, all the stuff Sans just let slide, before…

Sarah Fluff yeah.. for the rest of the game (until the final corridor) he just hides. and watches. for example, when your singing with shyren in waterfall. Normally sans is selling tickets.. but if you kill papyrus, it just says “a hooded figure watches from the distance” which likely refers to sans.

Dexter Caliolio He wears black clothes too…

Perce Picks Every megalomania animation has it so sans is wearing papyrus’s scarf? I don’t see him wearing it in the game when I watch geaoside videos?

Venustoise/ Venustoise Gaming He might be wearing it under his jacket, if you look closely, it kinda looks like he has it on. Sans is Papyrus’s Santa. He has a letter to Santa from Papyrus in his room.

adam zarbon Sans was the town’s secret Santa as evident by the letter in his room. Since he is aware of all the protagonist’s actions, including killing his brother, he must have removed the gift from under the tree.

fondcoolman I killed everything I came across including boss monsters. Sans doesn’t give a shit and lets me onto Asgore. Fucking seriously?

Wolfittish well at the end sans says that “this is what happens when people like me don’t do anything.” then he tells you to go to hell…

Dylan o'brien he asks if you have a power, if it’s important to use that power responsibly and you get the choice of choosing yes or no.

If no, sans says that it’s just your opinion and that he won’t judge you for it, then calls you a dirty brother killer

If yes, he asks you “then why did you kill my brother?“ Westygalery I wonder what sans says when you spare everyone but papyrus? I don’t think I’ve seen that judgement clip yet…

julie martinez He asks you why u killed his brother, in his sans serif font and with no eyes. He knows of your ability to save and reload, so he doesn’t attack, knowing the timeline can be reset…but he questions why someone with power doesn’t use it for good. He mentions it in his ending phone call, and doesn’t interact with you until the end of the game (judgement and phone call)

Sára Lenavá I wish Sans still killed you on neutral if you kill Papyrus. It seems so wrong that he wouldn’t try to really avenge his brother. But I think him not doing anything makes you feel even worse.

julie martinez He dislikes you for it, but he doesn’t attempt to kill you. I think he knows that you can reset the timeline, so you’ll probably do that and he’ll be alive again, so he doesn’t attack. He doesn’t interact with u during the game until the final corridor however, and when he does, he asks you why you killed his brother. He also mentions it in the ending when he calls you. I am pretty sure the only reason he doesnt fight you is cause he promised Toriel he wouldnt. I dont think he was joking when he said “You’d be dead where you stand”.

MouseOnThePiano You can kill Papyrus and Sans won’t raise a hand against you. You can kill all his friends and he’ll stand by and let you. You can kill every person you encounter and he’ll just let you by. Sans will only ever fight you if the fate of the universe is literally at stake. MouseOnThePiano

. That was my entire point. During the genocide run, by the time you get to level 19, Chara is only one level away from being able to manifest themself and hijack your determination to delete the entire world. Sans states during his fight that he’s gotten reports of timelines jumping left and right, stopping and starting, until “suddenly, everything ends” and “seeing what comes next, he can’t afford not to care anymore.” Then after you finally land a blow on him, he says, “Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Sans knows that if you, the anomaly, is allowed to continue in this world,, the timeline will end forever. (He doesn’t know that the world can be brought back through a soul deal.)

That’s why Sans, a character who could have easily taken you out at any point during you genocide run, could have easily killed Flowey right before the true pacifist final boss fight, and could have gotten revenge on you any point after killing his brother but doesn’t (for debatable reasons depending on how much Sans actually remembers after resets), chooses to fight you then.

And note that during his boss fight, he’s not trying to kill you so much as he’s trying to make you quit. He knows he’s fighting an impossible battle and that he can’t beat someone with the ability to save and load, so his purpose is to make you rage quit into resetting to avoid the end of the world (which is a bit ironic, considering most people seem to find Undyne the Undying waaaaay more frustrating). If you spare him, he challenges you not to come back. If you get far enough in his fight, he starts to get a little panicky over you not quitting and even directly tries to convince you to leave. Sans isn’t actually interested in killing you. He just wants to protect the entirety of existence (and have a little fun messing with you while he does it).

Sarah Fluff The resets made sans fall into an intense time of hopelessness, as he stated in hid battle… Hes given up, and he doesnt care about the surface anymore he is still upset and lonely…. 

Eruvia I think the neutral ending where you kill papyrus is more sad than the genocide run. In genocide, he has every good reason to kill you, since you were a monster with no soul. But in neutral, you spare every monster and did the right thing, but you still killed his brother, so he’s just left constantly wondering why you did it.

Sára Lenavá He even asks you why you didnt do the right thing why you didnt save Papyrus
