Well, not to give the game away but this is the backstory of my Fresh Papyrus, there is more to it than what that would imply though. OH!!! I also forgot to mention on the page (I had planned to but forgot) These parasites are not the exact same as the OG Fresh, they're a different type. Same Genus, different Species. We don't know too much about the actual characteristics and limitations of Fresh's parasite, so I had to make up some lore about this type and also to necessitate the Sans plot and with what happens to Papyrus, because I don't think the OG Fresh has the same limitations that I've placed on this subtype.

“Hung pictures of patron saints up on my wall, to remind me that I am a fool. Tell me where I came from, what I will always be, just a spoiled little kid who went to Catholic school.”

just feels like william envying steven and scott despite knowing how unhealthy it is for him to do so. he sees himself as lesser than them :(

“When I am dead I won’t join their ranks, ‘cause they are both holy and free. And I’m in Ohio, satanic and chained up, and until the end, that’s how it’ll be.”

AGAIN. william envying them. hes sees it as if he cant follow their example he'll be outcast and lose the connection he has with steven.

“I said make me love myself so that I might love you. Don’t make me a liar, ‘cause I swear to god, when I said it I thought it was true.”

this one feels like william getting..?..? mad at steven and trying to make him feel guilty.

“Saint Calvin told me not to worry about you, but he’s got his own things to deal with. There’s really just one thing that we have in common, neither of us will be missed.”

basically what the color coded text suggests. jake trying to keep william from worrying over steven by saying he can help, but william continues to go off on him.

“Saint Bernard sits at the top of the driveway, you always said how you loved dogs. I don’t know if I count, but I’m trying my best, when I’m howling and barking these songs.”

woohoo!!!! using the phonehead for more guilt points!!!!! as well as mentioning exactly what he is doing with that form.

“Floral sheets on long-given-up ghost, haunt my bedroom at night and say ‘Let’s get you home.’”

the ‘long-given-up ghosts’ line is william referring to his birth parents and how he left them behind in favor of traveling different universes. the haunt part is talking about how he still thinks of them with some sense of guilt! he probably sees the ‘lets get you home’ bit as them (his birth parents) telling him that.

“But come and braille-palm-read and hold my hand, see my reason and ‘Goodbye cruel world.’”

sounds odd, but i see this line as william try to explain what is emotions are like. i dont know why it just makes sense to me. likely him just rambling to steven about random things his brain says sometimes.

“And oh my god, what’s wrong with me?”

oh this one is easy. exactly what it sounds like. william asks himself this sometimes after he does something impulsive that he didnt mean to do. probably a lot after he snaps at steven.

“I’d rather stay asleep than never see you wake up next to me.”

this one is taken less literally. moreso in the sense that william would rather hide in his steven mindset than see steven whenever hes acting like abel, scott, etc.

“To incubate the shadows you can’t stitch back to your soles.”

wah!!!! william reminiscing on the actual good memories he has from his early childhood and realizing he cant get those moments back with his old family. hence, why he grips onto steven, jake, and his siblings so hard.

“And you seemed fine just a few days ago.”

i see this as steven talking to william actually. he has mentioned how william can go from happy and energetic to more stern and upset when hes using the phonehead form.

“Well, now you swear in your prayers telling time ‘Promise I’ll never have fun again, if you’d stop flying,’ but then you start crying ‘Never mind, you win.’”

steven probably bringing up what william says when hes a phonehead himself. how he'll 'do better' if steven stops acting a certain way himself. the last bit is when william gives up and eventually goes back to normal via a breakdown.

“And far too late came far too soon. And the love you never made became the things you’d never do.”

in reference to the impact steven has had on williams stability emotionally/mentally as well as the traits william has picked up from him. the ‘far too late came far too soon’ is in reference to steven not noticing it sooner. the ‘love you never made became the things you’d never do’ bit could be seen as williams missed opportunities in life now that he aims to follow in stevens footsteps.

“So come on, William, grow up, be a man, ‘cause until then they’re gonna treat you like you’re just a little girl.”

THIS LYRIC TAKES ME OUT EVERYTIME. it fits so well. how william thinks that people will see him as nothing but a kid if he doesnt act mature enough. how william is still concerned people will see him as a girl despite him being openly trans. OUH. this one is the entire reason this lyric dissection exists.

“It’s me who cries mercy while your fingers curl and, oh, are you at all like me?”

feels like william making a desperate attempt to reason with steven. especially the ‘it’s me who cries mercy while your fingers curl’ part. the ‘oh, are you at all like me?’ is a rhetorical question. he ask that to try and get steven to understand what hes doing is wrong.

“Do you know what I mean? Or am I too close to see? Someone, anyone?”

william trying to explain himself. likely what he feels like when no one is responding to his rambling how he expected. he doesnt like when hes wrong about something hes rambling about.

“Well, here is the church, here is the steeple. Open the doors, see all the people.”

this one refers to a memory william has of basically this exact thing. several people at an altar at a church, holding each other and comforting each other. hes not religious but he at that moment wanted that kind of comfort.

“Alright, that’s enough, let’s get you home.”

obvious one. after all of this, steven offering him the comfort he needs. in this case, steven is quite literally the home this references.

both associated with the color red. this may be low-hanging fruit, but its a parallel none the less!!!!!

both have similar stims!!!! examples being, steven messing with his tie and william messing with his lanyard or hoodie strings in a similar manner, both of them cracking their knuckles, both of them fidgeting with their hands when nervous, etc.

both have similar body language in general. thumbs up, crossed arms, hands behind back, tail swaying or wagging or thrashing, tail being used for intimidation, etc.

both strive for success and approval from their respective father figures.

both overwork themselves because of this, examples being steven working in the restaurant until hes on the verge of passing out and william studying things until hes at a similar point.

both have set mindsets they struggle to stay away from and tend to fall back into as a coping mechanism. steven with the scott mindset and william with his gifted kid mindset that has now turned into a steven mindset.

both break out of these mindsets when their family is mentioned. odd? yeah. but it works and is DEFINITELY a parallel.

AUAGHHHHHH THERES????? PROBABLY MORE I JUST CANT THINK</3 is this enough for now /silly
