Description First
Previously (although the events of that have nothing to do with this, believe it or not)
Next, let's say


Running face first into the wall of your own limitations for the first time... it's tough.

Sans is just never going to be a great healer - he may have the love and sympathy to fuel it, but the magic holding him together (his HP) is just too weak for him to be truly effective. Even trying his hardest, his tiny green aura has nothing on the huge lightburst Papyrus called up when he first learned how to heal . But hey, it's better than nothing, right? Later Sans tried not to let it bother him , even if it was just so Papyrus wouldn't get wound up about Sans getting wound up about it.

It's entirely possible and in fact fairly probable that Gaster orchestrated this entire scenario to see if Sans could learn how to heal, and if so how well. After all, it'd be useful to him in the long run, particularly since he's losing the ability to heal himself. Either way it has nothing to do with the sassmouth from last time , haha. Gaster's not that petty.
Amazingly if you get told you're incredibly weak all the time, you're not super confident in your abilities when a situation like this comes up. Who would've thought! This is probably the first time Sans has ever sincerely tried at anything and subsequently learned how it feels when you really try and still fall short. AND THE MORAL IS: NEVER TRY.

If you want them to be happy, then none of this ever happened.

Probably one of my favorite things about your Papyrus is how heavily he adheres to "doing unto others as you would have done to you".
He gives Sans all the love and praise that he wishes he could get from Gaster. And then some.

I've already read all these on your tumblr, but I've been enjoying rereading these here on dA. xD
I love this series so much.

Also when you read this for the 100th time but for the first time since the release of last week's chapter. I'd forgotten how awful this was for Sans and how he doesn't even answer when Papyrus tries to comfort him!

In the first panel, you only see the eyes sliding open thingy through one slit, because Sans might be opening the other eye but he can't see out of it. *DED*

Dragolu-SkyLion In reply to ??? [2016-12-02 22:52:06 +0000 UTC]

heh, and i always think that he's physically weak but magically powerful, stronger than Papyrus, in fact

maybe he's just not strong at healing...

or maybe he's just a late bloomer

odd thing is that sans is more powerful than paps in the game, as far awe see

writerperson101 In reply to Texanna7 [2016-12-14 20:32:09 +0000 UTC]

There's actually a lot of theories/evidence to believe Papyrus is a LOT stronger than he lets on - he's even more powerful than Sans, and Sans actually does grow up to be pretty damn powerful.

For one thing, Papyrus is the only character who has such control of his attacks it's impossible for him to kill you. Even Toriel, when her attacks start to avoid you, if you run into them you can still die by accident. He doesn't actually want to kill you, and neither does Tori, but unlike her, he has enough control over his magic to keep it in check.

There's also the suggestion Papyrus is perfectly capable of summoning Gaster Blasters - "Papyrus prepares a non-bone attack then spends a minute fixing his mistake."

Texanna7 In reply to writerperson101 [2016-12-15 03:52:52 +0000 UTC]

You have a point, but I still believe that Sans is the more... Magically Gifted. (dat battle do.) He may be able to summon Gaster Blasters, but we don't know if he can summon multiple at a time. Let alone 10.

The truth is that we're unsure, I guess. Undertale is ridiculously cryptic for a reason cx

Texanna7 In reply to writerperson101 [2016-12-16 17:03:01 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. You have to wonder what it would be like if Sans was trying to capture you, instead of outright DECIMATING you. Would he be able to not damage you? I guess we'll never know. Dangit Toby. You are making this so confusing!

Toby is a trolololing dog who gets popcorn while scrolling through tumblr blogs.

In all fairness, though, Sans is pretty justified in decimating murder Frisk XD

.....am I the only one that thinks one of the reasons why Sans can't do the same amount of stuff that paps can is because he doesn't think he can?

funny enough, when i see the old "believe in yourself" cliché, it's only ever done perfectly and i think it's awesome, but other people treat it as just a cliché, but clearly not you and Texanna, thankfully, haha
