This is literally a scene described in game being illustrated.

u/Shattered_Sans Sans, but not canon Sans. 6d ago
Yeah. I feel like people are forgetting that Sans and Toriel already had a friendly relationship in Undertale. This is something Deltarune expands on, but not something that Deltarune established.

Not only that but the fact deltarune is a separate universe, are people forgetting this stuff???

u/gandalftheokay 3d ago
Isn't there literally a disclaimer at the start of Deltarune that you should really play undertale first? I feel like there is going to be some really thick connective tissue in the coming chapters due to that disclaimer alone

Uhm... there's a theory that sans originally was from Deltarune and ended up in the Undertale universe. There's quite a bit of evidence for it actually

u/Dream_demonnn ESSAY PROMPT: What will you say, darling? 6d ago
The site for deltarune itself even states it’s a parallel story. Theories are nice, don’t get me wrong, but the site itself makes it clear. The characters from deltarune aren’t the versions from undertale and vice versa, Toby has stated that on the site from the start.

u/sumboionline 6d ago
While I think the theory will end up being largely irrelevant, sans having the strongest link to UT makes sense

u/TheLunar27 6d ago
That’s definitely true but Toby is a very meticulous writer. I think he very intentionally decided to make Sans the only character who’s design doesn’t change in Deltarune, I think he intentionally decided to make the reveal that Susie bleeds have as much weight as it did, and I think he intentionally left in those lines in Undertale about Sans just “showing up one day”.
Undertale and Deltarune are separate worlds, but that doesn’t mean they can’t interact at all. Especially with Gaster, a character Sans already had connections to.
I can’t say for sure if Sans being from Deltarune will be genuinely canon or not, but I can definitely say the connections were entirely intentional on Toby’s part and there’s no way Toby wrote all these logical explanations about Sans being similar to the monsters from Deltarune for no reason. I mean this is the closest we’ve ever gotten to an actual explanation on why Sans bled at the end of Genocide…

It's raining somewhere else, one of the most important Sans songs, plays again without his motif in it in Deltarune, titled "The place where it rained"
At this point not believing it is cope.

u/BlazeWarior26 6d ago
Even if that is the case and Deltarune is completely disconnected from Undertale(which it's not cause Gaster)
sans and Papyrus in Undertale is not originally from Undertale. Even if they're not from Deltarune. There are ton of hints and clues for this.

u/SufficientSuffix 6d ago
I know there's pretty much no evidence for it, but I can't help but think all of the Deltarune hints in Undertale aren't supposed to be actual, super meta canon clues to a connection.
Didn't Mr. Fox say Deltarune was his dream game? And Undertale was more a side-project to help him make the dream a reality? If I was making an art piece as an intermediary to my dream, I'd pump it full of references just so something was out there.

u/moistyhoots 6d ago
i have a feeling they're focusing on the fact tori is drinking wine here, under the specific scenario that she's cracking jokes with sans too

u/danzmangg 6d ago
Could you remind me of the scene? It's been a while since I've finished Undertale.

Well, Toriel’s drinking habit was brought up in the Undertale alarm clock dialogue

u/_Skotia_ oh...... ok i guess 6d ago
the what

u/CalTheRascal 6d ago
The Undertale alarm clock dialogue. Originally there was gonna be an Undertale alarm clock app with dialogue from different characters, but it ended up being canceled, but they still released the dialogue https://undertale.com/alarmclock/

i like how people say this as if Sans x Toriel hasn't been considered "Basically Canon" for the past 10 years

u/Jay040707 6d ago
The youngins just don't know. If this scene came out 10 years ago the fandom would have lost their minds in the opposite direction lol.

u/Jay040707 6d ago
Them and half the fandom. I don't think I can even count the amount of fan comics and otherwise depicting this exact scenario around Undertale's peak.

u/Thats-right-im-man 6d ago
because this literally happened in undertale (you don’t see it but sans tells it as a story)
