#dance papyrus

More handwriting headcanons, but this time it’s for various Papyruses!

Obviously there are more Papyruses that exist, these are just the main ones that came to mind first :P

Font names and reasoning under the cut:

So about a year ago I made a post about all the dancetale type universes and my headcanons for them. But I saw that post again the other day and decided that post was kinda inaccurate so I decided to revamp them and give the skels more depth and varied dances uwu.

Dancetale Sans

No surprise here, Sans dances hip hop! Not usually breakdancing or b-boying (though yes, he will do those occasionally) because... have you seen all those power moves those have? They take so much energy and wooork OTL. Sans ain’t really about working hard, even though he is significantly more open to moving than his classic counterpart. So he usually just sticks to (what he considers) easier (which... probably aren’t actually easier asdfghj) hip hop dances like this!

Dancetale Paps 

Also not a surprise, Papyrus does latin dances, more specifically the cha cha and the salsa! Specifically, salsas like this are his favorite. And it’s not unheard of for Papyrus to do that “walks on air thing” he did after his canon fight, while he’s dancing! It only makes it even more fun, and don’t worry; he’ll make sure you’re safe and secure in his arms while you two dance on thin air~

In contrast to the above dance bros, Blue does neither latin nor hip hop. Instead, his soul calls out to a dance just as energetic as him, that being swing dancing! Both the classic old swing (like this) from the 30s and 40s, and the newer electroswing dances. 

He also sometimes does roller skating dancing, too! Much like in this video at 2:06, he’s very adept at dancing in skates, expertly performing his main dance in them as well. Better have good balance and fast feet when ya dance with him.

This boi’s not really into “official” dances, as he calls it. Honey crafted his own dance style: Meme Dances! (Really, could you expect anything else from the dude who Flossed to pay respects whenever Undyne’s house burnt down) His bro is consistently exasperated in his choice of dance, but supports him nonetheless.  Default dancing, the orange justice, Hammertime, the Macarena, and these are just a few of the dances in his arsenal.

Red is just an edgier Sans, so of course his dance style would be the edgier style of hip hop dancing as well! More specifically, he specializes in breakdancing/b-boying! (Although rarely cuz he is still very lazy.) Flip-floppin, high-flyin’ powermoves and all. Kinda like in this! It’s also often accompanied with popping, locking, and breaking, the perfect cherry on his dance sundae.

Similar to Papyrus, Edge does latin dancing too! His favorite dance being a bullfighting dance just as dramatic as he is: the Paso Doble! It’s always an intimidating sight to see: the boi, half shirtless, angrily whipping his partner around in circles, frequently in midair much like Pap. Though, since he often dances with his enemies, he is... slightly less likely to keep as tight a hold on them as Pap is. Don’t worry, though, he’s sure you won’t drop... And if you do, but somehow stick the landing on your feet, then you’ve only gained even more of his respect.

Rus is actually kinda internet popular for his dances! On his youtube channel (which goes by the name of (p)Elvis, for the record), he posts dance covers of his favorite songs, which has gained him quite the decently-sized following. As shown in this video around :47-1:02, his chosen dance style is 50s Elvis Era Rock & Roll! The bois practically a greaser, honestly, with that style. 

He also does kpop-inspired dance covers to various vocaloid/utaite/anime songs on his channel as well, similar to this video. Sometimes he even does both styles in one video! It’s truly astounding how he manages to seamlessly fuse both dance styles into one dance and one video, and that’s exactly the sort of talent that gained him his following in the first place.

Black struggled for a long time to figure out just what dance he preferred, but eventually he realized his true passion lied in Figure Skating!  It’s perfect for him: elegant, disciplined, balanced, incredibly flashy. Growing up in Snowdin, he’d frequently sneak away to the many ice rinks in the forest to practice. 

2 years ago, I did a dance animation like this with Swap Sans. Now I finally finish the dance version of Swap Papyrus.
