Hey so, real quick.

A Bunch or the reactions are people say “Oh! He’s concentrating on not killing you!”

Which…..I actually took the exact opposite interpretation.

Because, think about the movement in battles. Who moves the most?

• Omega Flowey
  
• Undyne the undying
• Asriel Dankerr
• Mettaton
• Mad Dummy

People who are putting their ALL into killing you. Putting in all their concentration and effort into ending your little motherfukn lifu.

The people who move the least? (besides Papyrus the paper cutout)

• Toriel
  
• Nabstablook
• most of the minor battles
• Asgore

So, Toriel: Who does not want to kill you, and due to her lack of concentration on her attacks and more on her emotions causes the attacks to miss you. (Can still easily accidentally kill you) But still, distracted. Not putting her all into the battle

Nabstablook: Who needs ghost depression therapy. Really not feeling up to it right now. Not putting their all into it.

Minor monster battles: They do MOVE, and a lot of them do extensively, but they’re more still than like, Undyne or MTT. They’re only fighting you out of obligation. Not putting their all into it.

Asgore: He moves more than the other’s I pointed out, but his movements are small. He bounces slightly and slowly, if he moves it’s for his trident attack. Because well, he does NOT want you dead. He does NOT want that seventh soul. He’s not putting his all into it.

(Note: Sans is kinda an inbetween. bc he bounces a bunch and dodges and teleports a HELL of a lot. moves his arm. but he also like, aint moving a lot compaired to Asriel and Undying if you get me.)

D-Do you get where i’m coming from?

The Sprites that move the most? Putting in EVERYTHING into this battle. They want you dead. They are using all their energy and strength to end you.

The Sprites that stay still? Not putting in their all.

Not putting in their all.

Papyrus has the same amount of energy he usually has during his date, and the finale. He zips and zooms around the screen like a ping pong ball. 

He is always putting in 110% into every little thing he does.

In his battle, he is still. A statue. A motherfucking plastic barbie. Not even moving his mouth. 

(Note: I think some sprites don’t move their mouths in battle screens, but Papyrus moves his jaw later on the date, the dump, and in the finale. There is no excuse for him not moving his mouth during battle. But you know who else never moves their mouth bc he’s to lazy to? Sans the mother fu-. Sans is never putting in his all and doesn’t even bother to move his mouth to words.)

(Also note the only time he makes a diffrent expression is when you hit him, and not for long)

Papyrus isn’t putting in all his energy. 

Papyrus isn’t putting in all his power.

Now listen, If when using his bare minimum, he can still control his attacks to a point where you cannot die, he can summon words spelled out and a GIANT FUCKING BONE, have a whole conversation with himself and not paying attention while fighting you, holy fuck.

I don’t want to know what Papyrus is like putting in his all.

The real reason Flowey befriended Papyrus was because of Papyrus’ unmatched raw power.

Good time to bring back the fact that everyone has two vines around them except Papyrus who has four.

Tbh with how much Flowey experimented with resets he could have seen Papyrus actually trying and I wanna see the look on that bastard’s face when he got yeeted from the ruins to new home and back.

papyrus could be an all powerful being, literally capable of killing literally everyone in the underground

but is like “NAH, I’M JUST GONNA CHILL OUT HERE WITH MY SPAGHETTI AND DINOSAUR EGGS OATMEAL”

that just radiates big mood to me, and i wish i knew why

shaggy, papyrus, and kirby are the trifecta of “can i destroy you in an instant? yes. would i rather just have lunch? also yes”

FUCK YOURE RIGHT JKHSKJHKJSDHKJSDHDS
