Description
So guys... I've been on a bit of an Undertale kick lately.I started the game on Tuesday, finished True Pacifist on Wednesday with 12 hours of game-play accumulated, then spent the rest of my free time looking up remixes of the soundtracks, fan games based off it and the lore, comics featuring the cast, dubs of comics, one tumblr blog because curiosity and saltiness of experience, and probably a few other things that can't come to my mind.
Also one of the most disgusting, off-putting images I've ever seen, but I-I can't go back to that.
Now, judging from all this, you're most likely assuming me to be some ultra-mega fan of the game, completely enticed by the quirky characters, soundtrack with more then 100 2 minute compositions on it, morality system that feels real to the player, branching pathways that affect the game forever, and basically how it's designed as a retort to all the apparent RPGs that encourage mass murder without consequence of thought of the characters being slaughtered (the ones I've played often have the enemies stay dead, so I'm not sure where the points are coming from).
Also the fact that the developer had a totally genius way of putting the character into the world by making the protagonist a 10-year old, gender ambiguous child with no personality but the one you give to it. Seriously, fricken genius.
Well... I really like the game. Taking away the fact I was spoiled the mechanics of the game due to the description on Steam (meaning I suspected that was the point, to not kill anyone) and the godly pedestal it's fan base holds it on, it's definitely packs a lot into it's 6 hour play session (most likely more if you choose the other pathways) then I ever suspected. But, I feel like there's something missing from the game itself that prevents my total absorption of it.
The sound track has some note-worthy tunes that hit all my tick boxes, both in epicness and atmosphere setting, but most of the tunes are just either good or mediocre. The characters feel real, but I don't feel as attached to them as another fan might. I don't know why, but yeah.
I could go on about this point, but you didn't come here to read a long as description. Point is, really good game, favourite game this year so far, definitely make my top 20 favourite of all time, but that'll be in the RPG category, maybe overall, who knows except me?
Anyway, why did I make this? Well, seeing how successful the game is, it'll of course have it's on memes that'll be run into the ground by the obsessed part of the fandom. One of them I came across was the 'Bad time' line the blue jacketed skeleton 'Sans' says earlier on in the game if you're attempting to murder everybody, and... 'lip smack' On top of not being very funny, there's no way to not being reminded of the ski instructor meme that originated from 'South Park'. So, completely clueless of whether or not someone has already combined the two entities, I took it upon myself to do so.
Am I proud of myself? Kinda. It's a very nice looking drawing, but it sort of goes against the motif I have when I plan on tearing apart every meme or running gag that I can find over the internet, but I'll make an exception this once. Just. This once. Hopefully.
Anyway, if you made it this far down into the description, tell me, have you played Undertale, and if so, what's your favourite/least favourite aspect of it? Always nice to hear a discussion regarding opinions, either if it's hateful. I mean, I've once spent up to and hour and 10 minutes reading an entire 200 comment (with every comment being relatively long) Youtube argument just because I was fascinated by how into they were getting. I mean, I don't want anything hateful starting on this page, but y'know. Little fun fact. Brings us closer together and makes me feel almost as real as a knight fish and a scientist dinosaur.

Eh. Someone would've made it if I didn't. But thanks.
