Based on a head canon of mine where every year anniversary of them reaching the surface, there’s a forced reset due to players restarting the game for the sake of nostalgia every year. :)
hibiscia!!! Sorry if youve explained before but is there something specific about reset-remember fics that you hate? I don't really like them either but for me it's just because I feel like a lot of authors type sans in very ooc ways
They're completely antithetical to Sans' character arc for the sake of cheap and easy angst. The nature of his brand of cosmic horror isn't in reliving his life again and again, that's Flowey's. Sans knows OF the anomaly, knows that it's manipulating time and knows it's a threat to the entire universe, but he doesn't know how or why, because he doesn't remember.
And that's crucial! him being mostly in the dark in spite of the MANY warning signs about us... because it's in that doubt that he remains hopeful. YES we could potentially end the world... but what if we don't? yes we have unimaginable power over everyone else and we can bring back time, but what if we're just.... sad? he needs that gap in his knowledge so he can take a leap of faith across it, it's his entire character arc in the pacifist run. sans THINKS he's given up, he wants to have given up, he chose to do it because there's a comfort in that. in contenting yourself with good food and bad laughs. there's peace. but he hasn't given up, not really. on himself? maybe. but not in us.
there's no way to have that arc if he remembers resets.
Impulsively writing a new fic loosely inspired by The Break Up (I'm experiencing the most intense writers block known to man and need a lil boost of creativity)
Hohoho~ hey, @weirdosis!! It's yo Secret Fransta Claus here—take your angst order and goooo—jkxD a huge contrast on the festive season, but I love doing it very much either way :3

What if you were sent to Deltarune universe when you changed your mind mid no mercy run in Undertale? When you reset, you’d end up in Deltarune instead.
