Before the Anger— episode 125, "Soul Project (pt. 3)"
Made with help from @adamslayz4evr (he did the lineart for me)
I get the feeling that Toriel gets on Gasters nerves a little bit. Toriel really isn't scared of him, she treats him like a kid since shes so much older than him, she is friendly and enjoys being around people (usually Gaster, since she has no contact with anyone else.) I think Gaster sees her as more of a test subject than anything, since he has to control and keep track of her powers. When he's around her, he enters "scientist mode" and doesn't seem to appreciate her being lighthearted. Gaster lacks sympathy for her situation, or if he does feel sympathy, he doesn't want to show it.
I also think he despises having his work life and home life mix. Hence, why he never formally introduced Sans and Papyrus to Siqua, who is essentially his only friend. He honestly seems disturbed that they know each other. When he sees Sans and Papyrus here, he immediately tells them to go home because he most likely sees Toriel as a part of his "work life". We've seen before that Gaster isn't really "protective" over his kids, so this isn't what he normally would've done. He must trust that Papyrus is genuinely strong enough to fight off dangerous monsters, because the only time he shows any sort of protection over his kids is when he finds Sans by himself without Papyrus nearby. Only then does he personally escort them home. (Where he was heading to anyway.)
Sans seems confused by getting waved at. Papyrus thinks this normal gesture is cool. They must not get friendly interactions with strangers very often.
((I had asked him a similar question before the massacre. I couldn’t fathom taking care of a child on your own, on top of college, and I still can’t. He acted annoyed, but something in him seemed almost giddy to talk about it. “I make time.” He said, and he stopped himself from continuing, as if I would have hit him if he went on for too long. Which, to be fair, I probably would have back then.))
Gaster used to like being a parent???
