"Sans Tumbles through the multiverse headfirst" by PapilioVolens

First one to guess every scene and ch I am referencing (-Fell and Swap) correctly will win the prize of picking which scene I draw next (p.s. I'm a beginner artist and it's probably going to take forever.)

OMG IT'S HAPPENING?!!

jokes aside im so excited for the update :))) was about to reread too... ive just been imagining classic standing next to whoever pick of god/guardian/powerhouse and being like :) yeah this is my ambiguous friend/kid i took care of/etc we go way back like it's normal

A small snip for the upcoming chapter. I am going through (hopefully final) rewriting, and I got to a memory scene. Since it doesn't give any spoilers, I thought I'd share it a bit early.

Feel free to ignore this if you prefer to wait until the chapter is posted.

The scene may go through some editing between this and final version.

Sans didn't know what to think about the whole situation. The so-called World of the Gods was weird. The air felt charged with magic, so plentiful it permeated the air, and the wind sometimes swept through vertically, as if it was passing through the ground. Sans had not seen far beyond the Garden, preferring to stick close to the light footholds in the unfamiliar terrain, but from what he could spot through the bulky trees was mesmerizing. Tall whisps of cloud-like fog hugged the edges of the cliffs that bordered the Garden, and the sound of wind brushing against the jagged rocks, which formed a protective barrier between the Garden and the fog, tended to whistle.

Life stayed true to her word and was as accommodating as she could be in light of the circumstances. She had been nothing but courteous ever since Sans, quite literally, popped up out of nowhere, and was eager to help him feel at home— though Sans was not oblivious to the awkwardness that his presence was causing. He did his best to stay out of the way, but Life was warm and reassuring, and Sans found his way often to her side when he wandered aimlessly.

The issue was the so-called God of Death.

"if you don't mind me askin'," Sans wondered aloud, watching Life as she swept through the glade, her dress trailing elegantly behind her. "why'd you pick those nicknames?"

Life paused in her path and smiled at him. "It was Sa- Death's idea," she gave in way of explanation. "After all, it is a representation of who we are."

"well, sure. but that's like nicknaming a painter 'mr. painter.' or something," he reworded.

Life knelt down, her paw hovering over a patch of flowers that were a bit smaller than the rest. "Perhaps from your perspective, it may seem that way," she assented. "But we have gone by many names over our lives." She glanced at him, smiling warmly. "We do not mind going by another while you stay with us."

Sans wondered if her companion held the same sentiment.

As Life turned back to her work, Sans glanced into the trees and squinted, barely able to make out the wisp of shadows that signaled the ends of Death's cloak.

[* DEATH ERR ATK 999 DEF]

[* HP 3000/3000 LV 20]

[* Wants you to leave.]

"i mean, i don't really know what's beyond the forest, but i can—" Sans began to offer, though the words had barely left his mouth when Life leaped up and turned to him with shocking ferocity. Sans tried to step back to give her space, but Life laid her paws on his shoulders, halting him.

"Absolutely not!" she demanded, slightly frantic. Sans refused to place the emotion playing behind Life's eyes, and he watched her take a deep breath as she composed herself. Closing her eyes for a moment, she shook her head somberly. "The World of the Gods is not meant for mortals. No— you are safest here." She muttered the last part, mostly to herself, as her eyes grew distant.

Sans didn't say anything for a few seconds before quietly sighing, "okay." Life's shoulders eased, and the kind expression returned to her face as she stepped to the side, allowing Sans to stand beside her.

"Would you like to watch me work?" she offered.

She really was just like Toriel.

I swear he looks at Fell and Swap like this right before he does something dumb that gets him killed

Like Error just being vulnerable in general (in this case sleeping) (also yes Catssic is also doing the stare- terrible doodle of Catssic- but shush)

Or Dream just generally letting his aura free (not really an uncomfy thing- but u get the idea)

Uh, not gonna lie— his death stare is partly what he used to warn villagers in Dream and Nightmare's universe when they were pushing their boundaries a little too much.

So

I found this scene very funny, Dust immediately clocking Classic but also relieved that a skeleton like him was alive, maybe due to Classic appearing and acting like his younger self (which he is). Dust in my opinion seems apathetic but he genuinely cares a lot about the people around him, so this scene does fit him.

This duo will never be not funny, it's either you kill everyone in your life to stop evil or you join the forces of evil to kill everyone. Choose your fate Classic-

I didn't have any meme perfect for Horror (so sorry), one of the reasons is due to the fact that I (we) haven't got enough info of their dynamics with each other (at least in the fic) so please CHAPTER 29 SAVE ME CHAPTER 29 SAVE THIS POOR YOUNG PERSON WHO IS STARVING FOR MORE CONTENT-

AHEM- who said that????? 🥰

Anyways here are the (my) MTT + Cross's designs

Horror was supposed to be holding his Axe aka his weapon, but I was too lazy 😪 same with Cross. The reason why this one took too long for my liking is because of the four, the hardest redesign is Killer, I got hit by a fashionblock (don't ask) where I tried to put him in various jackets and pick the color that suits him perfectly.

The end results are immaculate 👌

I just realized that I made the other sanses taller than Classic... Let's just say that they grew a few inches (a bunch of inches for Horror) or something....

Anyways, that's it for now. It's nearing my finals and I have to prepare for em ⚰️

Goodbye for now 👋😋

*dancing over to my computer* memes memes memes memes

That first one made me laugh oh my gosh (˶>⩊<˶)

That's exactly how I'm trying to portray Dust! I take the definition of LV very literally. It is a depiction of your capacity to hurt, but that is it. It does not necessarily equate to someone's want to hurt, which allows a lot of different interpretations of the characters to be possible! :D

I mean, to be fair, the first meeting between Classic, Dust, and Killer went kinda like that. O.O

Also Cross beating you up asmr is killing me

Yes, there will be some Gang dynamics in Ch. 29! Mostly background stuff, but it'll play a large role in Ch. 30 (which should come relatively quickly after I post Ch. 29. I'm getting back into the groove of writing now that I'm leaving my soul sucking job).

I just noticed but everyone in the Gang has the same little trinket? That is so adorable! ... you just gave me a bonding idea between Classic and the Gang. Friendship bracelets. Heck yes.

Besides Ink, Classic is slowly becoming more and more tiny compared to everyone else. :3

So, fun fact: no one really knows how to identify which universe is original. Error is certain he'll be able to identify it via its code and links, but he's never actually seen the original. He's going through more of a process of elimination kind of thing.

There have certainly been some who wondered if they were part of the original universe, but in reality, few really care. There have been plenty of existential crises, of course, but it matters little to them whether they are the original or not. In the chaos of the multiverse, being a 'regular' universe has its advantages.

It's been more of a backbone mystery for many, in that it's something they would like to know, but there are more important things to focus on.

This came to me like a dream, I swear this is what I imagined when first reading this scene. I had to stop my giggles.

I love Classic man, he may appear lazy but he actually cares a lot about his family especially Papyrus and I think that trait will always be there no matter the Universe. I'm such a sucker for sacrificial characters who are not afraid to put their own lives on the line 😋, I mean sure he's not exactly in the category but that's close enough for me.

You may notice that there are two additional skeletons here, that's right fellas it's mister sharp boy and mister would shank you in your sleep!! 🎉🎉

I placed Classic in the middle cuz I want to, and also it's because I need a basis on which sans is taller than the other and since Classic is the original outline I'll just keep him in the middle.

If you're a bit confused on why Fell's jacket look like that is because I based it from aviator jackets 🤔 and no he is not showing his middle finger.

Anyways, that's about it for now. I'll draw more until I'm burned out probably.

See you soon 👋😘

I am a silly writer that giggled to myself as I wrote that Nightmare scene. Classic cradling Nightmare like a child is so hilarious— Nightmare would likely soon spear Classic than to anything so cute.

I feel like it would actually be the reverse! Catssic would go around to everyone going "pspspsps" instead of the other way around. Although Ink is likely to watch the cats in weird positions— so it's not too out of the question. ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)

I feel like the motorcycle one is missing something... *slides in cliff they are barreling toward* there we go

Classic returning after Nightmare killed him is basically him throwing up the middle finger (or peace sign) in the face of Death (... not that Death. the, uh— you know. action of death)

I feel like Sans character in Undertale spoke to a lot of people, and that helped AUs get their kickoff, of which many stem from a variant of Sans.

That scene between Fell and Classic is prone to repeating. Multiple times.

Eyy, more designs! I fully approve of the fluffiness of Fell's hoodie.

Thank you so much for the memes! I wasn't able to respond to them quickly, but I was kicking my feet when I first read them.
