VALENTINE’S NEWS LETTER WE WON SO HARD
So late posting this sorry waaaa
thankiews toby foux for inventing gay pepoepel
ok alphys was a character ahead of her time and too good for this damn fandom honestly. she isn't some evil gaslighting lying cringey manipulator who only exists as comic relief for the love of god look at her with eyes less poisoned by cynicism and irony. she is a love letter to... well, a lot of things. a love letter to "cringey" people, to video game fans, to people who try to drown their sadness in fiction. she's so achingly relatable to so many of us that it really feels like toby knows his demographic like the back of his hand. we've all met someone like alphys. maybe we are that someone- awkward, nerdy, can't get over their past mistakes, terrible at phone calls, far more eloquent online than in person, only wants to make people like them to distract them from the fact that they don't like themself. normally, this character archetype is the butt of a great deal of jokes- just a gross nerd who needs to touch grass. but alphys is different. she is, as i said, a love letter. she is one of the best-developed and most complex characters in the game. her nerdiness isn't "fixed" or mocked, it's celebrated. her unabashed love for her interests and her 100% attitude is a big reason why undyne loves her. games, especially in 2015 and before, are not often so genuinely kind to characters like alphys! and in deltarune, too- alphys is still a nerd, despite not being nearly as traumatized as her undertale counterpart. her rambling about shows she loves is a constant across all universes, a fundamental and important and good part of who she is.
and i just think that's very kind, and very important.
Human Alphys yippee
The Scientist and The Captain of the Royal Guard
Magical girl enthusiast's Halloween costume

Quick sketch of the newsletter gamer alphys
sciencepeoples if they met in high school instead of college
couple of hcs:
- sans is in AP physics
- Alphys is probably in some high-end engineering class
- Alphys took physics too but she didn't want to put herself through the AGONY that was AP physics... so maybe physics honors
- They met in theatre class and took band together the next year
- sans was the first one to initiate conversation 'cause he thought she seemed cool
- Immediately bonded over science and engineering and quickly became friends
- He also definitely pulled the "whoopee cushion in the hand" trick on her
- sans is on good terms with basically everyone but alphys is his only ACTUAL friend that he hangs out with
- sans is definitely in some earth/space science course too, really anything astronomy related
- Went off to college together and were roommates ^^
