Ayee Gaster is back Ya’ll. I really had a lot of experimenting with this one since I had never done transparent fabric before. I wanted to capture that emotion of accomplishment when Gaster realized he had created life in a way, but then the cold realization of what that would mean for his new creation. Its an idea I’ve had for a very long time, but I’ve never executed until now. I believed the transparent fabric would helpless he felt to what he had to do in that moment, much like the babies in the tubes.
This is based on @zarla-s AU, so go check that out of course.
YES! MY GUY THIS IS WHAT I’M TRYING TO SAY THANK YOU
Spoon ghost was the exact moment Undertale clicked for me. You can leave the bed at any time, so you have to choose to wait it out to see what happens.
My fear of spoon ghost, only to realize they were actually a nice mom spoon, was where I first had the thought “maybe I’m not doing enough to see the good in other people.”
Like I really did have that “shit man… try harder at liking people” feeling that stuck with me and changed me. It took up until that point in the game to fully understand what Undertale was trying to say.
It was a moment of genuine tension and discovery and I JUST
MAN
SPOON GHOST IS SO GOOD, WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE SPOON GHOST
Alright, this is the very very late Secret Santa gift for @it-refused! I planned to make this an illustrated fic, but the writing portion has gone very, very poorly, and you shouldn’t have to wait any longer than you already have. I hope you like it anyway!
For anyone confused: Asgore breaks his arm, and can’t carry the Absurdly Heavy Bag Of Infinite Gyftmas Cheer for Gyftmas, so Alphys builds Santatron at the last minute to take over Asgore’s duties as Santa for the holiday.
However, Santatron goes rogue and ends up rampaging through the city, leaving it up to Undyne to rescue everyone.
I loved working on this, I just couldn’t get the fic portion to write itself!
1. Papyrus losing his shit when he finds out non-spaghetti pastas exist.
Reason why this sucks – It’s blatantly OOC and non-canon:
.
(I love the implication that Papyrus drinks sauce out of cup with a noodle)
.
.
(I also like the implication here that either the lasagna was actually good, or Toby has terrible taste and stole it even though it was bad, OR that lasagna was a weapon of mass destruction that only dog-god Toby could destroy.)
.
.

2. Fluffy bunny is Papyrus’ favorite book! He loves little kids books!
Reason why this sucks – Papyrus himself gives no indication that the Peek-a-boo with Fluffy Bunny book is his all time favorite and gives it the same level of favoritism as ‘Advanced Puzzle Construction for Critical Minds’.
3. Sans helped Papyrus in his fight with the human.
Reason why this sucks – The idea that Papyrus is so weak that Sans would need to help him (SECRETLY OF COURSE) is not only ridiculous and OOC for Sans but blatantly goes against canon as Undyne confirms that Papyrus is incredibly strong. So. Do people who think this think Sans leaves behind his jobs to follow Papyrus to his training to help him train against Undyne??? How many hoops do you have to jump through to believe Sans is so ~Benevolent & Powerful~ and that Papyrus so ~Innocent & Weak, poor bby.~
4. Sans kills the humans that fall in the king Papyrus ending so his poor brother doesn’t have to UwU
Reason why this sucks – If you think Papyrus would approve of his brother essentially doing what Papyrus himself is supposed to do so he doesn’t have to is hilariously wrong. I mean. You could just think “Sans does it without telling Pap!” but then you also must think Papyrus is too stupid to hear the inevitable news of a human falling in/not noticing a new soul in the collection, so that’s also pretty bad. ALSO. Consider: Sans keeping his promise to Toriel not to harm a human to honor her after her death and trying to find another way by becoming a scientist again, meanwhile as he’s so busy with that Papyrus kills the fallen humans but doesn’t tell Sans because he’s so focused on finding another way Papyrus doesn’t want to discourage him.
5. Papyrus is so oblivious to Sans’ struggles
Reason why this sucks – Buddy, it’s not for lack of trying. You can HC Sans suffering all along with the burdens of the world on his shoulders (even though in canon Sans honestly doesn’t really seem too bothered) but acting like Papyrus doesn’t care or is too stupid to notice is blatantly wrong:
.

6. Papyrus hates puns so much
Reason why this sucks – Once again super not canon. Papyrus literally has four times the amount of puns as Sans in game, and he actually compliments Sans and Undyne on puns on two occasions.
7. Papyrus doesn’t have healing magic/bad at healing magic
Reason why this sucks – Papyrus literally heals the player to full health both before the fight and if you lose it.
8. Poor innocent cinnamon roll doesn’t like fighting~
Reason why this sucks – PAPYRUS LITERALLY WANTS TO JOIN THE ROYAL GUARD. SURE HE DOESN’T WANT TO KILL ANYONE BUT IT DOESN’T MEAN HE DOESN’T LIKE KICKING ASS. THAT’S LIKE SAYING SOMEONE WHO SIGNED UP FOR THE UFC DOESN’T WANT TO PUNCH SOMEONE.
