Fun little details about Papyrus:

• He thinks the snow in Snowdin is ice cream.
• He loves deadly spikes and precarious bridges. He hates conveyor belts and steam vents. He’s also not super fond of lasers.
• He thinks impressing people with his huge biceps is a good way to make friends.
• He loves to be pet. He will also play fetch with you and bring back sticks in his teeth.
• He thinks humans descended from skeletons.
• It takes the brothers only one screen with no puzzles for them to get bored enough to make snowmen waiting for you.
• Papyrus knows Sans hangs around Toriel’s door all the time, but he doesn’t know why.
• Papyrus doesn’t actually have a sentry station of his own, he just has the one he and Sans made out of a cardboard box (and pasta). Sans has his own station though.
• Papyrus’s station is only two screens from Sans’s.
• The brothers are never more than one screen apart from each other in Snowdin.
• When he gets zapped by the orb he IMMEDIATELY blames Sans for it.
• Papyrus is feeling pretty down when the game starts, according to Sans.
• Whenever Sans goes to Grillby’s, Papyrus (irritated) isn’t too far behind him. He only orders milk there though. It’s full of strong bones, he says! He’s willing to pretend to like Grillby’s though when Undyne says she likes the food.
• Papyrus just straight up gives you the answer to his first X-O puzzle.
• When Papyrus redoes the one X-O puzzle to look like his face and then forgets the solution, he gripes about how Sans isn’t around so you’ll just have to solve it. Which implies that he thought Sans could help somehow.
• Papyrus knows Sans can teleport, although he might not know exactly how. He also knows he has at least four stations/jobs.
• The innkeeper gives Papyrus lollipops and pats on the head. He thinks she’s very nice.
• Undyne hasn’t seen Papyrus sleep ever. She has seen Sans make tons of midnight snacks though.
• Papyrus likes it when books are arranged by color.
• He knows there’s a quiche under the bench in the secret room. So does Undyne, actually.
• If you call him again in Sans’s telescope room, he just goes “thanks for calling” which hugely amuses me for some reason. THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW WHERE MY BROTHER IS
• He thinks skeletons are warm and cuddly and very soft.
• The Dogi steal bones from Papyrus to give to each other as Christmas presents. But Papyrus always comes and takes them back.
• He wants to run a store that sells flames.
  He also gets scared by echo flower whispering.

• Monster Kid can’t tell if Papyrus is a kid or an adult.
• The skeletons like chasing that bunny lady’s little brother around.
• Papyrus likes monologuing about things he does.
• He dreams of being a salaryman with an office puzzle job commuting on a train full of spikes.
• He’s never seen an anime, but thinks they’re for babies anyway. Which implies that someone told him that they were (maybe it was Sans, lol).
• Papyrus doesn’t know what the back of his hands look like because he’s always wearing gloves (this kind of blew my mind actually, I totally forgot he said this).
• He thinks oranges smell delicious.
• Mettaton is his favorite sexy rectangle. He also wants to have handsome bishonen eyes like Mettaton.
• He knows about other types of pasta. He stopped making lasagna because the annoying dog kept eating it.
• Sans bought lumaconi pasta at one point, presumably for Papyrus to cook with. Or maybe for his own use, who knows. Papyrus thinks he’d fill them with hot dogs and slime.
• Papyrus says he’d never take a vacation for any reason.
• Papyrus told Undyne about being friends with Flowey, but she didn’t believe him. He also told Sans, and presumably if Papyrus had any other friends, he would have told them about Flowey too.
• He immediately believes you’re in love with him when you flirt with him. Like the thought you could be lying or trying to trick him doesn’t even cross his mind.
• During his battle, he says someone who likes him as much as you is really rare. Which again implies that Papyrus has very few friends, despite his (presumably false) statement that he has many admirers.
• His/their house is very neat, aside from the change in the couch and Sans’s room which Papyrus has completely given up on. Even Papyrus’s closet is very neatly organized. He apparently regularly vacuums. He spends a lot of time at home, and it’s one of his favorite places to be.
• Papyrus isn’t friends with Alphys (at first) and is surprised that Sans seems to know her. He only follows her online. He asked Undyne to ask her to help set up the tile puzzle.
• Papyrus keeps spaghetti in his fridge to preserve it in his “food museum”, not for eating later. It also really amuses me that Sans keeps his popato chisps in the fridge. It’s the ONLY thing he keeps in the fridge.
• Papyrus cackles when he gets excited.
• Papyrus is only one head taller than Sans AND only one head taller than the human. Sans and the human are the same height.
• Papyrus has a present under the tree in Snowdin that disappears mysteriously if you kill him.
• He really loves midriff exposing shirts.
• He’s flattered by insults.
• Papyrus only got his “battle body” a few weeks before the game starts. He and Sans made it for a costume party. He has since worn nothing else. He even wears it in the shower. Sans thinks he looks really cool in it.
• This is more Sans related, but despite being the “most regular regular” and Grillby’s best customer, he hasn’t been showing up as much at Grillby’s recently by the time you come around. On a related note, Sans knows a lot about all kinds of foods, but routinely orders the worst burger on the menu.
• Papyrus gives Undyne gold ribbon-wrapped bones as gifts constantly and thinks she loves them. He actually loves bones in general and likes having them around. He heightened his sink just to store more bones, keeps a box of his bone attacks in his room, and says the giant picture of a bone in his house reminds him of “what’s important in life”.
• Papyrus is actually pretty emotionally intelligent. He knows exactly how to manipulate Undyne into being friends with you, and while he is massively projecting all over you at points, his analysis of your feelings both before you fight him and after your date show a pretty nuanced understanding of people’s emotions. He also can tell that something’s up with Alphys after he goes running with her, and that you’re a good person to deal with it.
• On a related note, despite being completely in love with himself,
  Papyrus is also very empathetic. His primary concern when he’s
  friendzoning you is that you’re going to be hurt that he can’t reciprocate your feelings.
  When you insult him, he thinks you’re insulting yourself and tells you to stop and that he thinks you’re great.
  He goes on a date with you so as not to hurt your feelings.
• After you escape his shed once, he cuts up a hot dog into the dog food to improve the accomodations for you.
• Papyrus always wears “special” clothes under his normal clothes just in case someone asks him on a date. No one has until you do though. He actually doesn’t know how dates work at all before he checked out that book on it… though he still agreed to one with you anyway without even knowing what it was.
• Papyrus doesn’t like lying to people. He just wants to be everybody’s friend! He also says that he would never betray you (to Undyne), which shows a shocking amount of loyalty to someone he’s only known for like, a day.
• Sans and Papyrus’s souls are literally linked to each other. It’s specifically seeing you be nice to their brother that brings the other back from the void. Strangely enough, the brothers are also the only Lost Souls that have inconsistent pronouns – they’re referred to alternately as he or it.
• Papyrus believes that capturing you would earn him all the love and recognition he’s always wanted… and yet, he still voluntarily lets you go. Your friendship ends up being more important to him than the potential culmination of all his hopes and dreams. He gives it all up for you.
