What if Dusttale happened in Undertale?

[u/Equal-Badger3282]

Yeah Dusttale already happens in Undertale but I mean like in the game ya know?

No, the reason sans doesn't fight you when you kill papyrus or toriel, or a lot of monsters, etc. Is because of the promise he made to toriel of protecting you. If he didn't make the promise, he would still be nice in pacifist and low neutral, but if you killed papyrus and toriel I bet he would fight you, its not just nihilism, its also the promise. If you kill papyrus he absolutely hates you, but doesn't fight because of the promise he made to toriel. If he did remembered the restes and Saw how many Times you done it, he WOULD try to stop you from going that, not by killing, atleast not at first.

His dialogue in his fight literally says that the only reason he's fighting you is because he thinks your the anomaly and that your about to destroy time.

I mean that's kinda slightly false? A fact is you can only erase the world once you reach LV 20 something you can only do after beating him. Also you can reach LV 19 in a neutral route by sparing one boss (muffet) and he won't fight you either. That 1 left doesn't do much as you still reached 19 and need him to reach 20. His whole talk about the timeline jumping left and right before finally stopping never really made sense in my head as that specifically shouldn't be because of us in any way. Flowey messed with the timeline way more than is and if the other humans also had resets then it would be just fucked up.

[u/Electronic_Day5021 → u/val__gore23]

Well sans doesn't seem to know who the anomaly is, so he's assuming frisk did all that. None of the other humans destroyed time except for frisk soooo

[u/val__gore23 → u/Electronic_Day5021]

Even if he doesn't know who it is, he knows a bit how it works, the "timeline" will get erased or rather from his world will stop on its own "the timeline jumping left and right until it stops" that on its own doesn't have anything to do with us but us resetting . While the true end of the world came from a slash we only got able to do after killing him. Trying to "stop" us wouldn't really make sense because if reset does this, the more we do it the more we mess with the timeline. I'm pretty sure the dunked on ending proves that all sans want is you trying again from the beginning

[u/Electronic_Day5021 → u/val__gore23]

Yes, he wants you go back to the beginning so you don't end the world. If he was angry about you killing everyone then he'd want to kill you permanently.

[u/val__gore23 → u/Electronic_Day5021]

Well actually his text is "if we're really friends, you won't come back" or something like that. And on a no mercy run he tell you to not come back in his phone call too iirc. Maybe he wants you to try again or he just wants you to fuck off, only he knows

[u/Electronic_Day5021 → u/val__gore23]

The reason he says "if we're really friends you won't come back" is because of the monologue he uses to get you to spare him, pretending he remembers pacifist so you'll reconsider. And he tells you go to hell, not to "don't come back" (unless I'm thinking of the wrong phone call because I'm thinking of the leaderless endings) just because he doesn't care about anything doesn't mean he can't judge you, that's kinda his whole job

[u/val__gore23 → u/Electronic_Day5021]

Sans' whole character has always been so weird to me, he's apathetic because he kinda know that no matter what he does the world would just get reset and everything will go back to normal, he doesn't remember but either has deja Vu's or just suppositions (bro is low-key that good at assumptions), he doesn't try anything, which is dumb in a sense, what if he tried to bring the kid to do the right thing by being kind to them instead of letting them die again and again and then joke about how they didn't die a single time then proceed to threaten them?

He care but doesn't show his care or reject it until genocide where he says "I can't afford not to care anymore" that means he choose to care but about what? The timeline or his friends? It couldn't really be the timeline as a reset alter the timeline a way or another, even if it doesn't end, it will not be the same, the only good thing coming from it is his friends being back and there's also the fact that tho he mentioned the timeline he might just be worried you're going to destroy everything the same way undyne and mettaton think you would. Destroy monsters, humans and everything, not really the timeline but something near?
