Description
Toby said all tweets are not canon , so everyone saying Sans is the older brother because of the aniki tweet has no leg to stand on now, haha. BUT while thinking about it a long while back, someone pitched the idea of Papyrus using aniki while Sans uses nii-sama, as befitting the Great Papyrus, which was an idea too cute to pass up.(Essentially both calling each other big brother in Japanese)
Sans, Papyrus (c) Undertale: been a while since I colored something this way

i think sans is the elder brother entirely because he's the more mature one. that's literally the only reason.

I have two brothers myself, and idk about that. the younger brother of the two seems more mature than the older one. .-. that could just be my family but idk

it's not just your family. people seem to want to differentiate themselves from those around them, meaning that younger siblings will almost always be completely different from how the older ones are.
and children almost always choose the opposite of their parents. joking parents? straight-laced child. it's weird and not always accurate, but often enough to be a good generalization.
and yes, my reasoning is completely irrational and has nothing to do with their ages.

nah it's okay, haha.
I mean I don't consciously make an effort to not be like my parents but it happens anyway. Just one of those things I guess.

First time I played, I thought Sans was older at first. But then when he said "man...isn't my brother the coolest?" I just thought "wait is Sans younger??? That hero worship is classic Younger Sibling behaviour"!

I like this. Cause, I think the illustration speaks for itself & it's very clever too.

Given sociology, Papyrus certainly acts like the older brother, which was why I was a little surprised at Toby for his tweet implying that Sans was older. Usually the elder sibling is the one to be cautious and fuss about details. That doesn't necessarily mean these two aren't an exception, but I suppose it just bothers me a little less now that it's been debunked...

Wait, so it is or is not confirmed that Papyrus is younger? I've always thought the same thing, being a younger sibling of two myself and heavily relating to Sans, while also seeing a plethora of similarites between my older sister and Papyrus. I've also though so for the fact that traditionally the older sibling is the one "in charge", hence Papyrus always believing he's in charge, even though the brothers both share responsibility over each other. If only the age difference between two fictional skeletons wasn't made so confusing XD

The only hint towards age order came in an old tweet, but as Zarla pointed out in the description, those have been deemed not canon by Toby, so nothing's confirmed.

It's the opposite in my family. As the younger sibling I'm the nitpicky one, while my older sister is the lax one. But I always assumed Sans was older based on the fact that while Papyrus constantly frets over Sans verbally, Sans clearly takes his brother into consideration with every move he makes, without Papyrus being the wiser. Both siblings will always fret and try to take care of the other, but I've always considered it an older sibling thing to protect without making it obvious that's what they're doing (ie: I was bullied a lot as a kid, so eventually my sister started approaching and threatening anyone who seemed like they were doing more than just casual picking on. I wasn't aware of this until I was a teenager and a couple girls were talking crap about me ^^")

Yeah, I suppose it's different in every family

You are a very glorious younger sister xD I guess it boils down to whoever is the cinnamon roll in the sibling relationship. The most recent debacle was actually me having an issue with my room mate on campus. Long story short we had a lot of disagreements, as well as completely different schedules, and she wouldn't stop until she had everything her way. It came down to me not being able to use the room except for sleeping and her leaving the windows open while people were smoking under the building, so being the asthmatic, anxious person I am it really started effecting my physical and mental health. I outright refused to let my sister visit me until I moved out (which I did), because I knew the moment she got on this campus she'd beat the living crap out of the poor girl ^^" Mind you, she wasn't the first to make the threat (because I'm apparently a nice little cinnamon roll to a lot of people I associate with ;u

I honestly always liked the idea of Papyrus being the older brother because that just makes things funnier, in my opinion (naive, hilarious and ridiculously over-the-top older sibling; responsible, calm and cool younger sibling). Β Regardless, this is a very adorable piece with a lovely and vibrant colour scheme. Β Good job!

This is like a colourful and bright piece to make up for the dark stuff that happened in handplates

Toby is just trolling people with his tweets, lol. He contradicts himself a lot, too. Nothing is canon, not even the merch? Come on, Toby. XD
Cute pic, though. X3

I always thought that Sans was the older brother because of how he treates Papyrus. Let's be honest sometimes Pap is a bit ridiculous (but still funny) and no one in Snowdin takes him seriously, but Sans is the only one that always says how cool his brother is. He's always looking after him, he is always following Papyrus in his weird and crazy plans to become part of the royal guard and he looks proud of him. He pretty much does whatever makes Papyrus happy.
That actitude seems to fit a lot in the role of a caring older brother

TBH I thought papyrus was the older brother until everyone started saying otherwise, so now I have no idea how to see them

it's not stated which of them is older, it's probably just a matter of personal preference

.. I Still Believe Sans Is The Older Brother..

I will always think of Sans as a bog brother for Papyrus even if Toby would say that he's not >
π: 0 β©: 0
I still see Sans as the little big bro and Papyrus as the big little bro lol

That is actually really accurate in my opinion too. Headcanon accepted. xDΒ
