Day 142 of drawing Papyrus until he cameos in deltarune! Honestly Sans!! Now he has to clean all of those!! He was totally smiling about that dumb joke afterwards though.
I found this fascinating post about Russian short names a long time ago and NOW I CAN FINALLY DO SOMETHING WITH IT basically Russian names can take different forms depending on how close you are to who you’re talking to. Heavy’s name is Mikhail (we don’t know his last name), and this is how Spy refers to him in the comics, while Heavy’s short name is Misha, which is used by his family. But the name forms can get even fluffier or more tender than that! I asked some Russian speakers on Twitter for options and they gave me a wide variety, so I just threw a bunch in here. |D Other options could be Mishutka, Mishula...
I’d imagine anything fluffier than Misha would be embarrassing for him, but Heavy appreciates the effort anyway. <3
Sometimes I think I’ve got a good idea of sans character then I remember deep down I consider him kinder then papyrus and I have to come to terms with the fact that I have also fandom-fied him and it hurts, anyway congratulations on staying true to his character your the strongest soldier out there
lol don't beat yourself up. i wouldn't use "kind" as a qualifier, but i do think papyrus can come across as much blunter than sans. he's loud and banging and over the top in a way that exaggerates his other attributes, and one of those is his social awkwardness. he's shameless! both when he's being positive and uplifting AND when he's being a bitch. sans is more... contained. less vocal. but that's something that applies to his character in general.
more than anything i think—as jaded and more pessimistic as sans has become with time and his reset knowledge—both him and papyrus start from the same core personality. papyrus' kindness is obviously important to his character, but people tend to play it up too much in my opinion. he's just as capable of disregarding people's suffering and unhappiness for his own interests (empress undyne ending, king mtt ending, remaining our friend in spite of our actions) as his brother. he's just... very loud about his positivity and caring for other people and DOES want what's best for everyone... when it's not particularly inconvenient to him. lol.

Papyrus: I WAS HAVING A GOOD DAY. WE WERE ALL HAVING A GOOD DAY
Sans: I mean it's kind of not, seeds aren't analogous to sperm. Hell, pollen isn't analogous to sperm, plants don't do dimorphic gametes like that. A better analogy would be firing a couple dozen fully-formed babies from a t-shirt cannon
Papyrus, beloved, HOW in the WORLD did you come up with such a PERFECT Christmas outfit!?!? You could hide even MORE plates of spaghetti under the TWO shoulder hats!!!
““NYEH HEH HEH!! SO YOU’VE NOTICED MY EXPERTLY CRAFTED FESTIVE OUTFIT, HAVE YOU?? YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, DEAR ANONYMOUS!!! THIS GREAT SWEATER CAN FIT NOT ONE, BUT TWO PLATES OF SPAGHETTI UNDER THESE PERFECTLY PLACED SHOULDER HATS!!!
ALAS, I MUST RAISE MY SINGLE CONCERN… HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT SO EASILY?? IT’S ALMOST LIKE YOU READ MY MIND, ALL THAT TIME AGO WHEN I WAS PLANNING THIS BENEATH EVERYONE’S NOSES!! EVEN SANS’ NOSE!!! ARE YOU PERHAPS, A PSYCHIC?!?!
HOWEVER, YOU HAVE NOT FOUND OUT MY PLANS COMPLETELY JUST YET!! FOR I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AM NOT WITHHOLDING ONLY TWO PLATES OF SPAGHETTI FROM YOU, ANONYMOUS… THERE IS ANOTHER THING HIDDEN ON ME!! I’LL LET YOU TRY TO GUESS WHAT IT IS, NYEHEHEHEHEH!!!!””
@tobyfoxmademeascaly I haven’t seen/read Dungeon Meshi (yet) but my impression is that Laios would try to make a bone broth out of Papyrus, and during a fight he’d realize that Papyrus’ endless bone attacks would be an ethical source of never-ending bone broth. Papyrus agrees to be a supplier if Laios gets rid of the white dog by any means necessary.
