I want Killer to call a sans fat and just be met with. What are talking about? I'm a Sans, the majority of us are all fat. The real question is why you aren't? You okay?

You know a sans has mega trauma when they aren't even a bit chubby.

(I like these Killer calling others fat joke but I think he would envy their ability to be chubby in a way because chubby = good resources, mental stability, and happiness. Things he doesn't have until he's rescued by Color.)

Yessssssssssss you get it!

Happy to be of service! It's a good name too, better than what I came up with. Nice job!

I think I understand the ask and request enough to actually make one .

I wanted to try for a while so I guess I can now ? I just wanted to say it ...

Also I finally found the name for the comic "bone chilling" , I'm not sure if it's frightening or funny since it's about a bunch of skeletons but yep !! Found it !! Thanks to @the-selfinsert who gave directional ideas !!

Alright have a good day everyone!!

more doodles of Fell! And his bro bc I like Fell Paps. I don’t draw Papyrus’ often, but I think he came out nice. I also don’t draw animals ever, so Doomfanger’s a lil generic looking, oops.

i’m thinking of dusting off my own underfell au i have from way back when,, mayhaps,,

[the-selfinsert]

Hey real question. Why does no one account for Papyrus anymore when discussing Sans from Deltarune stuff? Like, I feel like I'm insane for thinking Papyrus is also from Deltarune. He's Sans' brother, who showed up at the same time as him, has crazy powers like Sans, unique death animation like Sans, a weird font like Sans, knows what a toilet is like Sans(or at least of them), implied amnesia and remembering a place vaguely for having grass. (From a non-canon source but still) Like he even has a line about how "Humans might of descended from Skeletons" during the hang-out, which is more hybrid-theory fuel.

Is it really just "Well he doesn't bleed" so rather than thinking monster bleeding could be inconsistent, every one instead thinks he probably was just in Undertale and nobody had ever seen or heard of this guy until Sans showed up?

don't fucking talk to me about papyrus man, at this point I'm convinced he's the forgotten man but i have absolutely no clue what the point of that would even be. there are too many things lining up for it to be a coincidence (the egg, "forgettable", flowey's fascinating with him specifically, the very likely amnesia, the game breaking abilities, the green grass in man's island. that fucking shirt design putting him behind a scarlet tree???) they "just showed up" together one day but one of them bleeds while the other doesn't but also they're probably both from deltarune.

the red string connecting the points is drawing a picture on the corkboard and that picture is a giant "WHY"

animated the "It's okay not to smile" scene from chapter 4

Ooooohhhh that's a good use of the hate monologue......... hell yeah.....

Imagines how Killer might feel about being permanently changed just because we wanted something new, I also just really wanted to use this audio

[the-selfinsert]

Whhhhaaaat who said that that's crazy

You have become a bad influence on me, I fear (not) ☝️(U-U

Hehehehhehehe

[the-selfinsert]

I did not think that many people would like a 2016 gag comic of the bad sanses...

Now it's slightly scary ... especially since I didn't give it a name !!

Not sure what to name it yet... But I'll try to figure out something today... Or tomorrow

Or if you guys have any ideas!! I'd love to know because I'm completely lost!!

The baseline for the first chapter has already been written and I'm working on the script !! So that's one thing !

I have to admit that I don't have any background in comic writing or even comedy... So I'll try my best !!

It should be... About 15 to 35 pages a chap ? I'm not sure... I drawn pretty fast so... Maybe a week or two ?

I also want to thank all the people who let really nice comments and constructive feedbacks !! It means a lot to me since this comic was just a joke to someone's comment.

I have nothing more to write so... HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE!!!

...Well you don't need to sound so smug about it.

This... this terrifies me. So much. What do you mean 33 thousand words. I am in act 2. I am not even done with it. I don't even know if I'm halfway through. I have a whole two others acts to write functionally, and I am at 33 thousand words and one hundred and seventeen pages. HELPPPPPPP

Turns out I'm living the American Dream apparently

[the-selfinsert]

I think everyone should have a character that they model their entire personality around when they're a pre-teen to teen. Oh, you hate yourself? Well boy howdy do I have an idea for you

[the-selfinsert]

Listen, I know why most of the Deltarune versions of the UT cast is less likeable and less plot relevant than their UT selves, but if Papyrus shows up and he's some fucker who acts like Toby's original concepts for him, I am going to bring about the roaring in real life

You've mentioned multiple times now Sans canonically switching fonts if I'm not mistaken? What/when are the instances of those?

To be precise, he switches from comic sans to the standard Determined font, so you could also technically call it "turning off his typeface".

there's four notable examples that come to mind

When we first meet him:

he even spaces the letters apart sightly, which implies he's talking slowly and deliberately. this fits two explanations, one doylistic: we don't know him yet, nor do we know the connection between skeletons and fonts so suddenly seeing dialogue in comic sans would break the tension in the scene; and one watsonian: he's trying to scare the crap out of you, so he uses the most terrifying voice he can make.

At the MTT Resort date

Yup. This one pretty much cements the interpretation that he switches fonts to sound scarier. He even does the creepy "music cuts out, speaks slowly and spaces the letters apart for maximum effect" he did in Snowdin Forest. But moving on,

In the Final Hallway

While it's definitely meant to mirror our first meeting, what with the foreground elements hiding his appearance/disappearance, our being backlit throughout the whole scene, and the complete lack of music... there's no way that the player doesn't recognize his silhouette, and knowing the whole speaking in fonts shtick, seeing comic sans shouldn't break the scene anymore.

he's not spacing the letters apart like the previous occasions and he's speaking at normal speed, so I'd rule out that he's trying to sound scary, but he still drops his font in favor of the standard one, right until the moment his actual judgement begins (ie when he checks your EXP and LV). while you could still make a compelling doylistic argument re: comic sans just looks stupid in this scene, i think the font switch makes perfect sense if you read it as sans just being solemn for once. his judgement will inevitably get lighter-hearted*, and he'll go back to his font and soudfont, but it really feels like he wants to open the matter setting a serious tone. this is the end now. enough messing around.

*speaking of the tone of the judgement getting lighter. know what font he uses when it doesn't?

....yeah.

The Lost Soul fight

now THIS. this is an interesting one. because not only does it happen in battle, but there are three VERY big differences when compared to the occasions i listed above:

he's not capitalizing his sentences

he's not silent when he speaks. on the contrary, he's actually using a different soundfont: the standart one you hear with the narrator and secondary NPCs.

his text moves like a wave, much in the same way as napstablook, the heavily depressed ghost who's constantly crying, and the amalgamates (all bar endogeny, who doesn't speak at all) who are... well. you can assume what emotional state they are in.**

honestly I could talk about this detail alone for HOURS, especially when you consider that as soon as his memories are returned, he immediately goes back to his usual font AND soundfont

our friends during the lost souls fight are supposed to be at their lowest, confronting their character flaws and their demons. and considering the nature of what sans says, well... i think it's fair to assume he's either straight up crying or in otherwise extreme emotional distress.

aaaaand that's it! that's all the occasions that come to mind. from what we're shown, we can gather that sans switches off his font for occasions where the mood is far from light, either because it's serious, solemm, scary, or just plain sad.

there's a couple notable occasions that fit these criteria but still use comic sans, such as the "do you wanna have a bad time", threat the "heya. you've been busy, uh?" monologue before the genocide fight, and the genocide fight itself, though all of them can be explained with the fact that the pacing of the dialogue was far too fast for it to be effective.

but yeah. the lost soul segment is the one that makes me tear my hair out. hope this answered your question!

The important thing to note is that all of these people suck supremely, yes, but also: It's a Toby Fox game. And I'm pretty sure, by default, that should tell you about their ability to be redeemed.

someone sent a meme in a discord server i'm in that was like "99% of deltarune fans quit right before they correctly predict a character as irredeemably evil" featuring king and spamton and carol and the like but then everyone was like "ok but spamton is irredeemable though" let's all play undertale again and you're not allowed to stop until you understand what toby was trying to say ok

[the-selfinsert]

Actually I thought about it for a moment and it would actually be the funniest thing of all time if after years of fandom fighting, and wars over what's canon in regards to Sans's relationship with resets and the degree to which he's aware, and everyone pretty much coming to the consensus that he can't remember resets and is only aware of them, Toby pulled a complete 180 on us and it turned out that we were actually right at the very start and have only gotten further since.

been plagued by a thought for days.
