So! There seems to be a lot of wondering going on about EYE COLORS lately, so let’s put a few bits of information on the table.
The corrupted pacifist ending bedroom scene has been variously taken to mean that Chara’s eyes, or more recently Frisk’s eyes, are canonically red.
In Frisk’s sprites, the eyes are black (#000000). In Chara’s end-of-NM sprite, the eyes are slightly lighter, being the same shade of dark brown (#3d120e) as Frisk’s hair and outline. From this, you might decide that Frisk’s eyes are canonically black, and Chara’s dark brown. However, the eyes/pupils of nearly every monster character are depicted as #000000 on overworld sprites for the sake of visual clarity, including…
…Toriel, whose eyes we know to actually be very dark red (#400000) from her battle interface sprites. So we cannot say for certain that Frisk’s or Chara’s eyes are black/brown, just because of their sprites. They could easily be red like Toriel’s are.
On the flipside, we cannot say for certain that their eyes *are* red, either. The bedroom scene, from the corrupted pacifist ending, has been used to argue:
Chara’s canon eye color is red, because they are possessing Frisk in this scene.
Frisk’s canon eye color is red, because it is their body that is getting possessed.
But it should be noted that the red (#ec1c24) seen here is clearly not natural, in any case; F/C’s eyes are brightly glowing in a dark room, which is not a normal thing for human eyes to do. Ever. Also, Frisk’s face and clothes seems to have instantaneously shapeshifted into Chara’s in the corrupted endings, and that’s also not a natural phenomenon. (lol)
So when you’re in a non-geno run and you fight Papyrus, you can choose whether or not you want to attack him at first, but it won’t have much effect on the trajectory of the fight. No matter what you do, Papyrus eventually spares you, and if you choose to hit him, regardless of what his remaining health is, you will deal mortal damage. People have talked before about what this tells us about Papyrus’s character, Papyrus as a “morality pet” for the player, etc etc. But I’d like to talk about the actual stats involved in this.
tl; dr: Pap’s defense is higher when he has less HP during the “spare” phase of the battle. He’s the only enemy who does this (as far as I know). Read more for actual data and a theory on how the game calculates this.
Incisivosaurus, a small basal oviraptorosaur from the Early Cretaceous of China, about 125mya. Around 1m long (3′3″), its most distinctive feature was the oddly rodent-like “buck teeth” at the tip of its jaw – which show wear patterns suggesting its diet was primarily herbivorous.
Point 1: When writing fic or doing comics, the subject of Frisk’s current family name is likely to come up. There is a tremendous preference for the post-Pacifist ending in which Toriel adopts Frisk, so they probably use her family name.
Point 2: When Toriel texts you in the post-Pacifist walkabout, during the “Dreemurr and Femur” text, she makes a point of saying NOT to actually refer to her as a Dreemurr. We should thus assume she’s switched back to her maiden name.
Proposal: Toriel’s maiden/reinstated-since-the-divorce family name (and thus Frisk’s family name) should be Tu. For reasons.
