the thing about sans is, laid-back depressed guy who loves grease, gross humor, reads car magazines on the job and spends half of his free time in a bar scratching his ass is the PERFECT candidate to be the “straight one” except that by making him 4'9 and giving him a 7ft tall girlbestie toby made him every letter of the LGBTQ+ acronym all at once
the thing about alphys is, depressed nerdy scientist with self esteem issues who’s obsessed with anime, has a life sized catgirl action figure and eats nothing but snacks and soda but still lands the hot chick at the end of the story is a character i wouldn’t touch with a 10ft pole but toby was like “what if she’s a girl actually” and it’s one of the biggest #wins for feminism in gaming to this day
honestly… play undertale if you haven’t yet. this isn’t even a “fuck cringe culture” thing because i def understand being put off by the fandom but it’s a genuinely well made, beautiful, emotional game about love and hope and as sappy as it is to say that it’s such a good experience that genuinely changed me as a person. it’s usually five dollars on steam because of how often there are sales and it’s honestly the best five dollars i’ve ever spent
I just stumbled on this wonderful text on my dash one day while I was having a hard time irl and it kinda stuck into me. I just really have to draw it.
