Someday I will stop thinking just way too hard about Papyrus Undertale.
today is not that day.
IRT the tags, I think it might be Comic Sans and Papyrus Sans, or just Papyrus. And please do ramble on about Flowey’s and Papyrus’ friendship!! There’s some interesting stuff to dig into there, and I like the way you think.
Oh my god Papyrus Sans. This. This is extremely good??? I never even considered the possibility… sans goes by their surname. This is good and you should genuinely be proud of this.
AND I WILL DO SO probably tonight. They both mean a lot to me, and I feel like Toby almost went out of his *way* to re-affirm they have a genuine friendship of some kind (whether Flowey likes it or not) with the whole dinosaur egg cereal thing.
And I have… thoughts. About that. I don’t think they’re as much of a The Odd Couple friendship as they seem like they are.
I agree that they’re named Comic Sans and Papyrus Sans. Those are the fonts they’re named after, after all.

Papyrus literaly changes your whole GUI for the date sequence, including modifying the use and size of the battlefield mechanics.
The only other characters even CAPABLE of AFFECTING the battle GUI are Asgore and Flowey, and both of them only MODIFY the existing GUI.

I’m going to do a fucking nine part series on how Papyrus might be the most powerful and IS the most MYSTERIOUS figure in the whole of goddamned Undertale, one of these days. I really am.
It never occured to me that he was the one who changed your GUI during the date scene.
I absolutely love the idea that he knows about being in a game and is powerful enough to change the GUI as much as or more than even God of Hyperdeath Asriel. 😀

@doctorsnark went to check and Alphys’ date does not have a GUI, as in her background only shows the junkyard, but not all the radars and meters shown during Papyrus’ date.
Exactly. This is a really good example of what always catches my fascination! Because it’d make sense enough if the Date controls were just a thing that happened! But we actually get to see that they’re not. Alphys date doesn’t activate any unusual controls at ALL.
I genuinely think that because we meet him so early in the game, it’s very easy to assume what we’re seeing is normal. He’s one of the first monsters we really even get to TALK to. And he’s our goofy, kind, noble friend.
But the plain fact is, he does things no other monster is capable of; not even Toriel, Asgore, or Flowey.
Papyrus cannot, will not kill you, not even accidentally. The window he jumps out of from Undynes home should be flush against a wall. He’s the only character besides Flowey who actively indicates remembering previous timelines.
There’s more then that, and I plan to sit down and organize my thoughts more clearly. There’s so much I always wind up coming back to. Small details.
Why does Flowey restrain papyrus more then anyone else?
He’s the only monster we talk to who doesn’t believe monsters will make it back to the surface. But he also clearly hasn’t lost Hope.
We assume he’s smiling all the time, but that doesn’t track if you look at his dialogue sprites.
Papyrus is my favorite character, and I’ve never been able to explain him fully.
You know what I don’t get?
This overprotective Sans stuff. Like, not just protective in actual situations that deserve some form of fear and caution. I mean like the “oh no papyrus smoked a cigarette!! who is responsible for this!?”
Please, go back to Undertale (2015 Video Game) and look at Sans and tell me: does he look like the kind of guy who’s going to be busting down doors because precious babby brobro said a swear? I’ll grant you that Sans can be that threatening kind of protective, but it’s all more likely to be bluster than anything, and I dont see him trying to genuinely snatch his brother’s independence and agency away just because he did something “wrong.” Sans is a supportive brother. Papyrus wants to swear? Shit, man, he’s got all kinds of swears. This can be a bonding exercise and he doesn’t even need to leave his couch! Sharing his encyclopedic knowledge of cursewords with his straitlaced little brother is awesome.
And if he ever saw his little brother drinking, he would probably only enjoy the laughter and the opportunity to play some pranks that a sober Papyrus would be too sharp to fall for. And if papyrus discovers that he cannot protect himself against the same 3 knock knock jokes all night (or he discovers that low effort bone puns are hilarious to his drunk self) well, that might be a totally unplanned deterrent towards further endeavors into drinking.
Sans isn’t going to go breaking into houses and yelling at the King of All Monsters because Papyrus said a “bad” thing.
Where did this characterization come from?
I think this comes at least partly from this obnoxious tendency to infantilize Papyrus.
