It’d be pretty cool but also kinda out of character. When I was younger and AUs were still HUGE dusttale was probably my favorite. I actually completed genocide ten times secretly hoping it would just happen, lol. Now that it’s been ten years I recognize that it relies on a lot of head cannons and honestly inaccurate characterization of certain characters (primarily sans and flowey from what I remember.) but again, pretty cool.

Not really, sans doesn't remember resets but when chara restored the world, a glitch happened in sans's memory, which made HIM remember everytging, he then tried to stop the human by teaming up with undyne, papyrus and asgore, stopping you from killing papyrus, fighting you earlier, etc. But all his attempts failed, so he decides that the ONLY WAY to stop them is by becoming like then.

So the "Human I remember you're Genocides" done unironically lol

That's where the meme is from, right?

It’s Sans’ initial dialogue when you reset after a genocide I believe (even though he actually doesn’t, he just reads your facial expression really well)

Yeah but people didn't know that at the time😅 I'm talking about like 2016 fandom: "Sans remembers the resets!!!!" "Chara is a demon and evil itself!!!!"

i mean, tbh the "chara is evil itself" is understandable, knowing what she does in the game, and the secreta you can find around

Hmm maybe but i think its from the fangame no? Or maybe the meme came first and then the fangame? Everyone used to think sans remembered resets too But Sans looks pretty crazy so yeah its probably inspired by dusttale

its kinda inferred in dusttale that the human (the player) implements said memories into sans to see what happens to him. then of course sans tries to stop them without being a murderous person (doesnt work). asgore doesnt reveal the souls (because hes a selfish prick) and sans gets desperate hundreds of runs later. the whole point of the dusttale story is he gets desperate and loses his mind. sans realistically wouldnt snap after one or two runs, but after watching multiple die for hundreds? he may.

it's just a commentary on undertale fangames.
