Sans's past is surely one of the big mysteries of the game and probably the most popular one in fandom. The vague hints to Gaster and the strange machine make it very ominous, but I want to focus on something else for this post.

I obviously can't tell what Sans's past is all about, either, but there's at least one thing we know about it:

He was happy. And there were a lot of people he liked.

It's not known who those people were, but Papyrus says something interesting in the alarm clock winter dialogue:

Celebrating the holidays with many friends, is something Sans hadn't been able to do in a long time, which means at a certain point in the past, he DID do this. The way his brother phrases it, it also sounds like he missed celebrating like that. So maybe these friends he celebrated with were the people mentioned in his secret room?

That Sans misses someone or some people, is also hinted at in his lost soul dialogue:

He's talking about giving up, that it isn't even worth trying, because he won't ever see "them" again.

Giving up trying, is something he also talks about in his fight:

He gave up trying to go back. But back where? To his friends?

Looking at this...

… I'd say he means "back home". Wherever that is.

So it seems he tried to go "home", because he missed all the people he knew, but failed to do so. This might have something to do with this:

I'm aware this isn't really new, I just want to point out that there were seemingly more monsters involved in Sans's past than only Gaster and that Sans used to be happy at some point. A part of what is known about his past, sounds rather melancholic and bittersweet. He was happy. And then he lost that happiness. He wants to go back to this happiness, back to his home and friends. But he can't.

my top ten undertale songs of all time

(my opinions are very unpopular. also, spoilers for undertale below!)

the top ten undertale songs of all time are as follows (my opinions are extremely unpopular, and one is the best):

10) ghost fight (it's just so groovy and fun! i like it better than dummy because the simplicity of this one just makes it more groovy and fun.)

9) undertale (just because this song is seven minutes doesn't mean it's number one. i still really love it though! the orchestrations are gorgeous.)

8) respite (oh my gosh, it's such a sweeping melody, it brings me to tears whenever i hear it, especially when i remember when this song plays. this part of the ranking up is when you can really start to hear toby fox's talent for putting feelings into music and giving each song the exact message and vibe that it's supposed to give. in this case, that vibe is that feeling of knowing that the world is so much bigger than it used to be, and there's so much potential, but it also makes you feel so small. things are never going to be they way they were before, and you're forever changed.)

7) bonetrousle (this song is the perfect mix of goofy and sophisticated, which makes it the perfect papyrus song! the orchestrations are amazing, and the melody is very unique! i've never heard anything like it, and it just flows. this song gives me the image of somebody with a lot of bravado who internally believes they're this grandiose, dangerous, person, but really, isn't seen as an explicit threat by those around them.)

6) it's raining somewhere else (man this song is just so good. the little background noise toby added for ambiance just adds to the piece even more. the melody is so bittersweet while also being smooth and almost jazzy. it reminds me of somebody who hears bad news, and suddenly, time has gotten slower, and everything's still except for them. they feel lost and cold, but slowly, whether it's from somebody else or it's from within, comfort emerges, and warmth starts to seep into their body again.)

5) waterfall (i just love the mystery to this song, the way it's calm and relaxing, but there's a strange sort of darkness to it that only reveals itself in the smallest and most inconspicuous ways, as if it doesn't want to be detected. it gives the air that waterfall is an enchanted place, but it's not harmless. the energy is just so cool, and it's another amazing melody.)

4) asgore (i just love this song. it's super epic, and the harmonies are just so good, it's such a musical piece. it doesn't tell as much of a story as some of the other pieces, but it just had to be high up on this list because of the sheer emotion in the music. it almost feels like a declaration, a decision that can't be reversed, so you might as well go all in.)

3) battle against a true hero (man this song...it's so amazing. it's definitely the most advanced boss song musically, i think. there's so many melodies, so much of a journey from the beginning to the end. i think how long the song is represents undyne's desire to keep pushing past her limits. the song almost feels longer than it naturally should be, because undyne is pushing herself past her natural limits. it's another song that is so representative of what is happening while it plays.)

2) heartache (this song is the BEST boss song, and i cannot be convinced of otherwise. sure, other ones are more "epic", but heartache opens up toriel's mind and heart, it shows the listener how she's feeling so acutely: desperation, fear, pain, loneliness, dread, and love. hesitation creeps in, and the entire song is toriel battling with herself, even though she knows that no matter what she picks, she loses the game that she created for herself.)

1) core (okay i'm gonna feel like a goof because all these other explanations are so meaningful and deep...i just like this song because it's a bop. objectively, it is just such a good song, it has me dancing in my seat every time i hear it. and it has an intensity to it. i think since the core is the last real location before new home, it builds up to something very climactic as the player realizes how close they are to the end. it's really spectacular!)

The Overworld Theme

(And the Men from Another World)

Well! Well well well well welly well well....

I know most people are sick of theories based solely on the OST. So I decided to annoy y'all with another one, anyway.

I've been playing these games for over 2 years and I'm still discovering new things about the OST's. I may even be the last UT fan to notice these, but here goes.

So, Waterfall, Another Medium, and The Core all have the same intro. Some time ago, I finally noticed this intro does appear in Ruins, just not as the intro- it's actually near the very end (starts at 1:20- listen to the bells in the background).

But it wasn't until this comment on YouTube:

...that I went back and checked Ruins against Another Medium and The Core. Listen to Ruins again, starting at 1:02. Compare it to Another Medium, from 0:07-0:51.

And to The Core.

The ending of Ruins gets remixed in all of them. Or Another Medium got remixed into the Ruins. Anyway, it's there. It's a little hard to tell if you're not looking for it- or it was for me, anyway- but it's there.

Now, we all know that every one of Undyne's themes on a Neutral Route is a remix of Ruins (Waterfall, Quiet Water, NGAHHH!!, Spear of Justice), BUT... even Battle Against a True Hero has a bit of Ruins. Listen to the bells in the background at 0:38- it's the beginning of the middle BAATH (1:36).

Now, then...

It makes sense to me that Undyne's themes all get remixes of Ruins, since I now know that Ruins is pretty much the Overworld theme. Undyne is the hero of the Underground.

So then, why does Mettaton have so many themes that are remixed from the Overworld theme?

Death By Glamour is, of course, just a remix of The Core. So that's one very obvious place where Mettaton reuses the Overworld theme for himself. BUT:

Starting at 0:26, we can hear the intro to Spear of Justice. This also gets remixed, much more softly, in "It's Showtime" and "Live Report."

For the longest time, I thought Alphys had just included a bit of Undyne's theme into Mettaton's coding. But now I realize the whole thing isn't specifically Undyne's theme but rather an Overworld theme. So as it turns out, then, Mettaton is just incorporating the Overworld theme into his own themes, just as Undyne does.

This makes sense when you think about it. Undyne is the Hero of the Underground. Everyone knows her. Why shouldn't she be allowed to use the Overworld theme? Mettaton is the Star of the Underground. Everyone knows him. Why shouldn't he be allowed to use the Overworld theme?

This, then, brings up one more question:

Why doesn't sans use the Overworld theme? We see him literally everywhere in the Underground from Snowdin to the MTT Resort. sans speaks with Toriel, so he has a connection to the Ruins. We don't see sans in The Core or New Home, but we do see him in the Judgment Hall in Asgore's castle. sans is EVERYWHERE, even more so than Undyne and Mettaton. Why doesn't he use the Overworld theme?

It could just be his style, his preference- he simply prefers that little jazzy theme of his. But... Papyrus doesn't use the Overworld theme, either. And he's almost as "everywhere" as sans is, through our phone calls, through chatting with Alphys via the Undernet, through knowing Undyne. Not to mention the fact that Papyrus is arguably the most important character in any run, since so many Neutral endings hinge on whether you killed Papyrus or not. (And then, of course, there's Papyrus' notable absence from Deltarune, but we're not talking about Deltarune today.)

"sans" appears anywhere that sans appears, whether it's Grillby's or one of sans' sentry stations or the MTT Resort (albeit remixed into "It's Raining Somewhere Else"). "sans" also permeates sans' entire house, EXCEPT for Papyrus' room, where no music plays at all.

But neither of the brothers uses the Overworld theme. In addition, "sans" doesn't appear outside of sans themes, except for "Bring it In, Guys". Same goes for "Bonetrousle"- "Bring It In, Guys" and STMPWYFS are the only non-Papyrus songs in which "Bonetrousle" appears (and, like, it's pretty obvious why we hear the trousle of bones in a song that might play you fight sans, amirite?).

The skelebros show up more often in the Underground than any other character. And yet they have no musical ties to the Underground whatsoever.

Could that be because they're not from the Underground at all?

"Beware the man who came from another world."

Thanks for the tip River Person- but which one?

(warning, personal stuff)

i just realized why "it's raining somewhere else" is the one song i turn to when it starts to rain, or im walking to school, or im just sitting in bed, existing.

a lot of the times i listen to this song, it's right before or after me feeling like, well, like shit. it's in moments where i feel nothing, nothing good or bad in particular, i just exist.

when i listen to this song, i feel like i can forget all my worries. i can ignore thoughts about the past and the future, i can live in the present.

in a few minutes, or even a few hours, i'll probably go back to feeling awful, drowning in all the things I've done or will do, or even things i could be doing, but right now? right now im ok. right now i can put all that aside, and watch the rain fall and splatter on the concrete, or i can focus on the rhythm of my footsteps as i walk to school.

right now, i can be okay. maybe it is raining, yeah, but to me

it's raining somewhere else.

It's Raining Somewhere Else Cover

I did a simple-ish cover of It's Raining Somewhere Else. Not much to say about it, just wanted to get back into the groove of making UTDR music.

On that note, the next wave of Vermillion Crystals music is in progress! Another set of Spamton songs, since I still need to finish up his roster.

Enjoy! And as always, welcome to the SOUL Intersection.
