the road to hell is paved with good intentions

some of the stuff i had problems with were the body types, i think. adrien has this skinny and slightly lanky body while sans is generally a chunky guy and we love him for it. this means that some of the armor plates (?) cat noir has on will have to be placed in different positions on sans’ body. and uh for the cat ears - just imagine them sticking out of his skull or something 😭 i wanted to make his metal bar a metal bone just because i thought he’d look cool!!!

marinette wears this tight elastic body suit that would look strange on a skeleton, so for papyrus’ drawing i kinda just gave up and made him look like a normal guy. i also added a scarf because he just looks weird with his neck in the open 😓

if this were to be a crossover AU, i think the skelebros dynamic would be very interesting. they would be much more secretive from each other and unfortunately, for the secret superhero identity to work, they might not have an incredibly close relationship. for the not recognizing one another even though they look exactly like they do normally plot hole, i think it’s going to have to stay a plot hole because i have no good explanation for why they wouldn’t recognize each other. they would work like ladybug and cat noir as a team, but with sans likely being much less clumsy and papyrus being much more considerate. civilian life might be a little dysfunctional for them

i just had the worst day of my life, and you are not helping.

um so yeah. this scene.

hey hi toriel i love you but did you notice your child coming back home at night probably soaking wet from the rain? did you notice their friend feeling uncomfortable and leaving quickly? did you notice kris going straight to bed without eating dinner?

OUAGH this scene makes me feel SO MANY emotions. when i think about it for more than two seconds, i get the deep pit in my stomach that says it wasn’t really that funny at all.

kris just was going around saving the world, witnessing their friend have a mental breakdown, and is having a being beyond their comprehension controlling their every move. they also endured much physical and emotional pain from their journey, ESPECIALLY if they came back from the weird route. they come back home to see that mom brought home, for all they know, some random guy that lives in hometown who’s also the convenience store cashier that just moved in to their neighborhood. susie leaves with discomfort. they back up as their mom literally falls over completely wasted, giggling, a mess on the floor. (without backing up, they would’ve actually been crushed.) their mom doesn’t ask them where they’ve been, doesn’t offer to dry them, nothing. when kris goes to head to their room, toriel tells them that there’s pancakes in the fridge. a stranger’s ketchup bottle is already in there. sans, completely sober, is ignorant to how incredibly strange this mother-child interaction is, and doesn’t bother to tell toriel to check up on her kid. he even initiates the continuation of it, turning on the music again. kris goes to bed after ripping out their soul, but can’t sleep because of the constant chattering downstairs.

this event, in addition to asriel being away from college meaning he might have to come home to a broken family, could deeply impact kris regarding their home life.

to be clear, this is not toriel, sans, or soriel bashing. this is kind of a showing of how truly terrible this entire day and situation was for kris. toriel can and should definitely move on with other people, but i think introductions could have been done so much better. kris already seemed to have a neutral-annoyed view of sans, and toriel didn’t even ask her child’s opinion of this new man. i’ve seen many people reject this negative view of the ending of this chapter, saying we are looking too deep into it, but i really think otherwise. i think kris tossing and turning in their sleep because of sans and toriel’s voices downstairs had some gravity to it. i also think this would be a perfect way to present sans and toriel’s flaws as people, and what they need to overcome moving forward.

asgore is also to blame for making kris become the mailman between him and toriel, making kris possibly less welcoming of a new partner of their mother. asgore, whether intentionally or not, puts a lot of pressure on his child by voicing his concerns about asriel’s return from college and his need to be back together with toriel before then. both parents are at fault here, leaving kris with nowhere to go.

can you feel the despair? there is nothing left for us.

(THIS SCENE MADE ME SOB AUGHHH RALSEI MY BABY WHY ARE YOU IN YOUR DEPRESSION ARC ☹️)

oh my god what is wrong with him (abandonment issues, probably)

LOOK DREEMURS, LOOK WHAT YOU DID. YOU GAVE THE TV SEPARATION ANXIETY.

i’m probably gonna draw more soon! these are just some quick drawings i started in the moment.

final embrace

——

i think sans is the kinda guy that doesn’t grieve through crying, instead letting himself revel in it because his grief will be proof of how much value was in the thing that he loved

i believe he can and likely will move on, but will keep jaded and sharp edges of his soul as a memoir of all he’s lost (not to flaunt them, but instead to remind himself)

INSPO!:

anyways my punishment to you for sending me this is a sad papyrus
