you treated… your teammate…? with tender loving care!! your teammate feels… flustered?!
An often overlooked character trait of Papyrus is selective personalities. What are selective personalities?
By selective personalities I essentially mean that Papyrus changes the way he acts around certain people, specifically his brother.
Now why this is could be lots of different reasons, however im not interested in discussing the specific intricacies of why he does it, but rather when he does it. So without further a do, i present to you, every example of Papyrus and his selective personalities!
When with Sans Papyrus says that he doesn’t know whats going to happen after we’re captured.
However despite this when he’s away from Sans he shows a clear understanding of what will happen to us.
During one of the phone calls in which both Papyrus and Sans are present Papyrus seems to confuse ice cream and snow.
When Papyrus is by himself though he shows to be perfectly capable of knowing what snow is.
Papyrus also is shown to know about ice-cream and considers it separate from snow.
Papyrus claims to love Hotland in regards to MTT.
This doesn’t add up though, as he directly states later on that he dislikes Hotland.
At first glance it seems as if Papyrus doesn’t know what the sun is as he doesn’t seem to recognize it when with the gang.
However when alone he shows a pretty clear understanding of the sun and wind.
This doesn’t seem to just be Papyrus knowing about the sun but not what it looks like either, since he knows that it shines on your skin, and he also knows about the moon, which no other monsters really comment on.
Sans claims that Papyrus has never met a human, this is also backed up by Papyrus not recognizing Frisk as one when meeting them with Sans.
Despite this Papyrus clearly understands human anatomy and culture.
His knowledge of the surface world (seen in the previous entry) further support the idea that he knows about humans as well.
When calling Papyrus (while Sans is present) in front of Alphys’ lab you’ll get some dialogue that suggests that Papyrus doesn’t know what a lab is.
After Sans leaves though you are able to get this dialogue inside the lab.
Papyrus clearly knows what a lab is here, as he mentions it by name and knows it involves science.
When dealing with Sans and Papyrus’ japes Papyrus treats his puzzles as if they’re the best around.
When his brother isn’t around he shows a strong sense of self-awareness in this regard though. He calls his own previous puzzles “awful”.
We know he means this too since he has a book on “advanced puzzle construction for critical minds” and critiques and offers professional advice on everyone else’s puzzles through out the game.
Normally Papyrus rants about his dislike for Grillby’s.
However there’s an exception, Undyne will begin to state her fondness for the place, and Papyrus lies and goes along with it.
During the Undertale Q&A when with Sans Papyrus claims that he doesn’t know his own favorite food.
This seems to be something he clearly shares with his close friends though as Flowey (his best friend) not only knows this but wonders why “no one else knows the answer to this stupid question”.
During the King Papyrus ending Papyrus and Sans will talk to you about how the underground has been. With Sans present Papyrus claims that they’re all just on vacation.
However when alone he specifically asks us not to tell Sans what he’s about to say.
He then goes on to express remorse over the death of his beloved friends.
Papyrus and Undyne talk about going on a vacation together.
However Papyrus pretty instanly switches up afterwards and says that he would never go on a vacation for any reason.
Papyrus and Undyne talk about Papyrus’ “flower friend” and when asked about him Papyrus says this.
However he clearly hesitates and lies here. He confirms this afterwards too.
We know Papyrus knows Floweys name too because he started the “Flowey Fan Club”.
This post wasn’t necessarily meant to be an in-depth analyzation like my previous one (and future ones in the works) it’s more so supposed to list and acknowledge the existence of Papyrus and his lying/selective personalities as I often bring it up with people not really knowing what I’m talking about. It’s unfortunate that this side of Papyrus isnt explored however, as it’s a very interesting trait and one that deserves more analyzing. I hope that the main take away from this post is that Papyrus is one of, if not, the most in-depth character in Undertale, and I beg you to PLEASE not water him down or prevent yourself from looking into his lore. With that said, always remember, Papyrus knows.
Everyone! Im glad to announce that the lineup for the DHMIS Canonverse Humanoid Designs for the trio and the webshow teachers are finally ready!
The Canonverse designs are basically just alternate designs of the cast ive created to tell apart my content related to my DHMIS AU from my content meant to represent the canon series and have more freedom with these characters without so many hcs in the way.
Im really loving the results so i hope that you do too!
After my previous post I realized that the whole multiverse needs a therapist💀
So I thought of someone you can hug, punch, stab, dismantle, burn, tear apart, decapitate... oh, AND, of corse, talk to about your problems to sort 'em out!
They can look like anyone you want! Even like you!
Don't be shy to open up to them! They are free from judgement and so are you!
(Just please don't take their stuffing if you're getting physical)
I haven't decided on the name yet, so uh you MIGHT recommend something cuz I'm very unsure
Guys this version of Infinity Train i found looks a little different
DHMIS + Infinity Train AU dump where i drew over frames of the series as style-accurate as i could, it was a lot more time consuming than i thought but it was a fun art excercise and i'll always take the opportunity to mash my interests together
What if they… no no It couldn’t happen…
…unless?
LORE WARNING!!! LORE WARNING!!! In this alternate reality, the loss of souls among monsters is a direct consequence of the creation of the magical barrier by humans during the human-monster war...
As tensions between the two races reached a boiling point, humans, facing defeat, turned to a powerful magical solution to protect themselves from the powerful monsters. They created a barrier that sealed them safely underground, effectively shielding them from the wrath of their monstrous enemy.
However, the magic used to construct this barrier had unintended and devastating consequences for the monsters.... As the barrier came to exsistance, it drained off vast amounts of magical energy from monsters, disrupting the delicate balance of their realm. This sudden drain of magical essence had a profound impact on the monsters' souls.
The monsters, whose very existence is intertwined with magic, found themselves robbed of, not only their abilities, but also their life force. The magical barrier acted as a conduit, draining the essence of their souls and leaving them fractured and depleted. Without their souls to anchor them, monsters became disconnected from their innate magical abilities and emotions. Their once vibrant personalities faded, replaced by a sense of emptiness and longing.
The loss of souls among monsters left them vulnerable and powerless, unable to resist the encroaching influence of the barrier created by humans. Locked away on the surface without their souls, monsters found themselves in a state of an everlasting torment, searching desperately for a way to reclaim what had been stolen from them.
Despite their state, monsters adapted to their soulless existence, developing alternative means of survival and connection. Some turned to consuming human souls, believing it to be the only way to replenish their own depleted life force.... Others sought solace in companionship and bonds with humans, hoping to find a sense of fulfillment through these connections.
Monsters rn:
