Idk but gourdy is obviously an adult to me, we can't confirm whether he has lived for a thousand years or more. After all he seems to have many masters

I would NOT BE THIS PAPYRUS-BRAINED if he was just your regular background character since chapter 1 or 2

BUT THEY KEEP TEASING US WITH HIM

I keep getting more and more excited about WHY they hide him and WHY all these references to him exist

Deltamix AU where Asriel Papyrus and Dess are the heroes from the prophecy

The Prince from the dark

The cage

The girl with hope on her heart

I think the fandom has always generally agreed that between the skeleton brothers it's Sans that is more inclined towards violence. Papyrus is a staunch pacifist - in fact, he is the only monster that will never kill you, no matter the route. Sans on the other hand can and does kill you. A lot. Violently. But only in the genocide route. It doesn't matter if you only killed a single froggit, if you killed his brother or if you killed everyone but spared one person - he doesn't fight you unless he absolutely has to but when he does he fights like hell. He's no stranger to making violent threats too, telling us that the only thing that kept him from killing us was the promise he made to Toriel.

This has caused the fandom to generally regard them as opposites. Papyrus naively believes in the inherent goodness of people. He does fight but he never kills. Sans is more of a cynic. He only fights you with the intent to kill. And so far practically everyone assumed the reason he only fought you in the genocide route was because he was too depressed and apathetic to do so in any other route. That being aware of resets, knowing that no matter what he does it'll all end up erased, made him too indifferent to bother.

But this interaction reveals that we've actually got him all wrong.

It reveals that Sans might be an even bigger pacifist than Papyrus. Papyrus refuses to kill but Sans refuses to even hit you - not because he's too lazy but because he dislikes violence. He's actually willing to put quite a bit of effort into his "battle" (it's for charity after all) but makes it absolutely clear that battling him is not something that will happen ever again in a way that indicates it's not because it's too much effort. It's because it's against his philosophy. It's a conscious choice he's making. Because he believes it's wrong.

He only resorts to violence when he's at the end of his rope. When he has to prevent you from destroying the world. He agrees to do something he considers wrong because the alternative is much, much worse.
