Gaster Blaster Theory!

I am a HUGE fan of gaster blasters. Like. Bonkers fan. Giant toothy skull lasers?!? Sign me The Heck Up. I especially like imagining the blasters as full skeletal beasts, as do so many others in the fandom, but I noticed something. Just about all of the full body designs I’ve seen, either of the blasters themselves or of the skelebros, are some sort of dragon. Some have wings, some don’t; some are more like velociraptors and some look like wyverns. All of these are hella awesome, but…

What about snakes?

This is a Morelia viridis, or green tree python. It’s… that’s a heckin’ blaster skull.

Look at teeth, the size of the eye socket, the heckin’ bifurcated lower jaw. Add a laser and ‘tada’, gaster blaster.

So that got me thinking. If Sans or Papyrus ever did transform into some sort of blaster beastie, they wouldn’t be draconic, they’d be serpentine, and if their skulls stayed relatively the same size, you’re looking at skelebro beasts that are at least 50ft (15.24m) long and 3ft (.9m) wide, if not larger. That’s bigger than the extinct Titanoboa, folks. They’d be massive. (And that’s if their heads didn’t grow exponentially larger to match the actual gaster blasters!)

Like… just look at ‘em! I sketched off a rough Papyrus and Sans based on a tree boa and you guysssss, it works so well!

Just imagine the rasp of ribs against the rock, the hiss and whine of a laser illuminating them in the dark as they sway above you on a sinuous, coiling body so long you can’t even see the end of it through the shadow and glare of plasma magic. Imagine fighting something fluid as water and fast as a whipcrack and longer than a school bus. They’d be glorious and they’d be terrifying.

And hell, don’t even get me started on how perfectly Sans and Papyrus’ blue magic fits with snakes! They’re just- augh, I have so many thoughts you guys. XD

Thanks for reading and feel free to send your own questions or theories!

Figured I’d make a separate post for serpent blasters Sans and Papyrus! Papyrus always ends up looking so happy xD
