NO I am not shipping myself with him, by the way.
He's a skeleton MONSTER, which most seem to forget. He can sweat and move his facial features to an extent. MAGIC! c:
I don't care. I'm such trash and will burn in hell anyway, so away I go!

I DO NOT DRAW!

Previous Part (1): [C] Sans from Undertale Part 1... [Discussion] [Sorry for a wall of text. Next part won't be as big.]

Heh, it's really hard to summarize all my feelings for this game and character...I might talk about spoilers, so if you don't want to read on, please do not and find out for yourself <3.

I never felt so useless before. A worthless bag of meat sort to speak with emotions that only have a vague idea how to function properly. The story reflects a gamer, a person, and instead of giving you a small scolding or a game-over if you kill something you're not supposed to, it rolls with it, but the characters remember. What I mean by not supposed to...well, you'll find out one way or another. Sure, you can kill everything you like, spare the main NPC characters if you want, but in the end, you will be judged for it all (guess who judges you?).

Everything has a personality in this game, you cannot really deny it. As the player you start to learn it..or you don't? Some people play just to play and it mind boggles me when they do that and ignore most of it, I know a few. Who's the true antagonist? It's not Flowey, I can tell you that. It's the player.

Anyway, even the functions that the game provides tests you, asking if you really want to load at times, fill your determination to save and reset... Oh, the reset. After you run through a run, whatever the outcome may be, the game will ask if you want to reset (I can imagine at least because I never finished it, yet and I heard about it telling you that). But, there's a difference between a reset and a true reset...

I don't know if it is true or not, but it is said that a reset is only half resetting it...The characters memories are not completely wiped with just a simple reset. In fact, I have a feeling it just breaks the timeline, rewinds everything, and the characters are thrown for a loop trying to figure out what is going on and why there is a sudden case of Deja Vu. Why give us the power to do this and have it affect the game as well? I feel...guilty because I save and load often to progress forward when I feel like it. Now I just feel terrible for letting it sit there because I'm not in the 'mood' to continue at the time.

Now getting to Sans, the person who matters most of this (to me anyway).

It is said or maybe it was a rumor that Sans knows about the ability to save and reset. It may not seem like it at first, but I think in the game it hinted that he might know or have a vague idea that you're tampering with the timeline. I have seen so many fanart depicting this, so it cannot be just a coincidence. It's ultimately based on Determination, however, I cannot explain the concept that well on how it works and why humans, or the player, are able to do this in general. But, it becomes quite apparent Sans knows he is in a game. It's self-aware.

If your life was a game how would that make you feel? That nothing you do would even matter in the end, some kind of joke... The warnings he gives you, as brief and meaningful as it is, sent dread through my body when I watched it play out on the Let's Play. I wasn't the only one who was shocked, but by all rights, Sans deserves to say what he means despite the puns he might make it lighten it up a little. If he had seen the other timelines, whether it's broken memories or nightmares, he knows what can happen and with a reset, it can happen all over again and again. Thus taking away a possible good ending for him and everyone else. Flowey knows this as well...

Which I started to question, Sans is a lot more powerful than he lets on.

He knows what is going to happen, warns you even, sternly if you go down the darker route. How many times has he seen his brother die? The bond that is shared between them is so strong and the fandom (as I have seen), knows this as well. How many times has he seen everyone he cared about, die? What about them seeing each other die as well? You can kill Sans in the end as much as I hate to say it because he's a character, just a character... But, his battle, as I heard, is the hardest fight in the game and weird at the same time. His special attack is just him doing nothing, not allowing the character to do anything but have you sit there. He wants you to turn off the game, close it out, or maybe reload. That often times get him to say different things because again, he knows. Eventually, he falls asleep though because good ol'Sans is tired of fighting... Tired of hoping and in truth, he gives up and if you kill him what he says just tears you apart. It tore me a new one.

Knowing all of this, knowing that all his friend, family and loved ones will die because the gamer decides to kill everything, it makes you wonder why he doesn't bother interfering. Could he stop you from killing his brother? Wouldn't he? You would think he would love his brother so much that he would stick with him often when he can while not on breaks or a grillbyz. Wouldn't he find out about his brother dying and confront you? But he doesn't.... he knows already of this timeline and there's nothing he can do. He has no support... He has no one... Then at the final moments, he will ask you why... Papyrus doesn't deserve to be killed, he did nothing and even believed in you that you could change. But no, you cut him down...smile and all. How dare you. Dirty brother killer. Then he will fight you.

Spare him and he will kill you, you deserve it.

Honestly, I cannot do or watch the genocide route, not even for morbid curiosity or because the 'battles' are 'cool. How can people do that? I guess telling oneself that it isn't real can work for some, but really? HOW? When people do it then feel bad afterward by talking about it, I get angry. I don't pity you, in fact, how dare you...You deserve NOTHING and you should sit in a goddamn corner of darkness and never come out, good riddance. Yeah, I don't have mercy left at that point for those people. I don't care if their art is 'gud' or whatever.

When I play a game, I always try to be the good guy (except when it is obvious that I can't, GTA I'm looking at YOU!)...

Also, the fan-art here has ruined me in that sense because while I do not want to see it, it pops up in the fandom and the many groups I follow anyway. I am in love with the characters, I cannot do it and will settle on them having their happy ending while uninstalling the game, but keeping the saved file (to try and keep the idea that it will continue on without me in some kind of sense.

Even if you're going down the good route, the true route and you have the chance to save Sans. I can remember what he said during the process "*just give up. i did.", "*why even try.", "*you'll never see 'em again". What do you do now? I would've saved him and Papyrus a thousand times over just hoping he might say something different, that everything would be okay, but it tells you a lot about how he is feeling. That fixed happy smile is nothing but a lie. No one can imagine how he feels and he doesn't really show it, especially to his brother. He cares about him so much that losing him would ultimately be the death of himself and he knows this too.

He cares about everyone, though. His death doesn't matter, especially if the timelines get reset again, right? Wrong. I know this can relate to actual people and how people say that their deaths won't matter, or it won't affect anyone, but they're wrong. How can a player tell that to a video-game character? They-I cannot and that's what hurts the most. It makes me also wonder why he would have just 1 health point? Perhaps it's not healthy at all...just like 'love', perhaps it is hope and when it's gone... You get the idea.

Maybe before you played a run... He actually had hope, he actually cared more, and was not as lazy and unmotivated as he is now? Maybe he had a lot of hope.

When he starts to notice and goes through all this pain, he stops caring, stops doing anything, loses hope and with that, lose the will to keep fighting. Maybe at one point, he did try to save his brother, but even then that was pointless. He tried in the end, but that's it. He trudges on when it looks like everything is falling apart. Mostly saying the same puns, same lines, same broken smile all to keep it the same and make sure his brother is loved and happy. I would be tired, depressed, and broken from all of it to know what could happen and if someone could just reset my life and make it hell. Who knows... It makes you value time...

But, time is against Sans isn't it? As a person, a human being, a gamer I feel that hits home the most. Time is against us as well. Maybe we are in a game as well and we're a bunch of idiots trying to figure it out. I can not be strong like him. Though he is not real...it feels real, the feels are strong and I cannot do anything to make it better except express my concerns and thoughts. Maybe I am overthinking, oversensitive, and everything else. The sad pictures I find doesn't help, but I cannot ignore it. It's a reminder of the other route that I cannot think about without breaking down. It's just a game, right?

It's just a game...

Part 3: [C] Sans from Undertale FINAL... [Discussion]

Eh, ignore my babbling. I cannot explain everything that is so great about this story, characters, and self-aware game. Also, I need more happy pictures dammit, I'm going to drown in sorrow. If games were as self-aware, I'm pretty sure I would panic every time I play a game T__T

"Undertale, it's not just a game. Undertale teaches you that murder is not fun. If you kill someone, you kill a Person who is loved, who is waited for, who is someone's family. And... it shows you what a cruel monster humanity could be." ~ ArainMorn

Also, here are just some links to other people thinking the same with art depictions and what Sans might be feeling!:

Here's a wonderful animation amv of Sans, Papy, Frisk, and others. May it help you understand why this fandom is bittersweet.
