OH WAIT I FOUND MORE EVIDENCE FOR THIS.

OH WAIT I FOUND MORE EVIDENCE FOR THIS.

If you abort the genocide run by sparing papyrus, go to hang out with him, and then inspect his box of bones, he says this. Not in a neutral. Not in a pacifist. Only in an aborted genocide does he tell you about how lucky you are to have not been blasted to pieces by his special attack.

Undertale theory - Papyrus was planning to fight you in the genocide run

We all know the story. We approach Papyrus, and he welcomes us with open arms, to return our "hug of acceptance". In battle, he spares us... and we murder him in one hit.

"W-WELL, THAT'S NOT WHAT I EXPECTED..."

Except it is what he expected. In the game's data, a monster's defence gets drastically lower when they spare you, representing their trust and allowing for betrayal kills. But Papyrus is the only monster who's defence goes UP when they spare you, instead of down. He literally has his guard up when he offers you that hug. And if you do spare him, he says

"WOWIE!! YOU DID IT!!!"

"YOU DIDN'T DO A VIOLENCE!!!"

*sweats* "TO BE HONEST, I WAS A LITTLE AFRAID...

BUT YOU'RE ALREADY BECOMING A GREAT PERSON!"

All the evidence seems to suggest that Papyrus was expecting you to attack him. But if that was what he was expecting, why so shocked when you kill him?

Maybe it's because he wasn't expecting you to do it in one hit. I think that Papyrus was planning an Undertale Red, giving you one last chance to turn back and choose a better path, and if you refused he would try to stop you by force... except he never got a chance to. He thought raising his defence would prevent an instant kill, but he was wrong. With his HP gone and his head on the snow, all that could be done was to say "I believe in you!", one last plea to stop this genocide.

More art inspired by my recent trip to Europe. This one is based on the drowned church tower I saw in Italy. The village of Curon was flooded to create a hydroelectric plant in the 1950's and this tower is all that remains.

Here's a sneak peek of how I painted this. The full hours long video process will be DMed on my Patreon on Sept 5

The photo I took, it was raining so I did it really quick, you can even see my finger in the corner trying to cover the camera lol

Bonus:

i see nothing wrong

Funeral, right

been seeing some discussion about canon/fanon sans re: papyrus' death, and then i thought, unrelatedly, "hey i wonder what he did with the dust"

first meeting

(collaboration with @mihtya)

this is a collab we made with my buddyfriend. we both came up with the idea, she did the overall composition, sketch and linework on Papyrus, and i colored the drawing.

Mihtya's sketch (awesome lining):

this is both my first collab work and one of the most massive art projects i've ever done. im relatively. proud. i guess. there is still room for improvement but if i look at this any more my head will explode.

happy belated Papyrus day! thank you for reading ^^

and no words version

the idea came while I was washing the dishes, the idea is quite funny
