but papyrus isn’t something he needs to protect. People talk about how papyrus is the thing that matters most to sans, and he puts most of his remaining energy into making him happy, which is true, sans loves his brother more than anything. i just think people give him too much credit, and papyrus not enough. i love sans for those qualities because i relate. and im saying this as a severely depressed person myself, i get it. he’s messy, lazy, he slacks off at work and overeats and has generally completely given up on being happy. and sans is a lot stronger and more knowledgeable than he lets on, yes, but in contrast to his brother he does a really shit job of living a healthy lifestyle. he mostly just cheers him on from the sidelines and tries to make him happy in all the little ways he can. ![]() sans doesn’t try to intervene with every little thing papyrus does, even when he messes up. like, yeah, he’s kind of got an unusual way of doing things and doesn’t always pick the smartest option, but apart from the occasional possessed murderchild coming after him with a knife, he can take care of himself justĪnd…. who doesn’t want a racecar bed? i don’t even like racecars and i’d kill for a racecar bed. he’s got a clean room, a nice house (edit: someone pointed out that it’s apparently canon that sans pays for the house, but my point still stands), a good work ethic for a job he’s very passionate about, a positive outlook on life, high self esteem, and even a racecar bed. he’s living a life most young adults could only dream of. ![]() papyrus actually does rly well for himself. papyrus is a big naive sweetheart, sure, and sans is always looking out for him, sure, but ppl tend to take that to this extreme where they see it as like “papyrus is too silly and childish to take care of himself and sans has to be the big protective older brother even if pap doesn’t rly notice”.īut…. i know most people would just take this line as a joke, why wouldn’t they, pap is trying to feed a fucking rock, but like… i think some of it rings true. Ive been thinking a lot about papyrus lately n how the fandom looks at sans and papyrus’s relationship and like.
