Guys it took ten years but I think I finally figured out who Gaster is

So I was talking to my friend in DMs yesterday about Undertale and I was telling him about how we basically know nothing about Gaster besides that he was the Royal Scientist before Alphys, potentially made Sans's blaster, and was shattered across time in space after falling into his own creation, which we assume was probably the Core. And also how we suspect he's a skeleton because his name is W.D. Gaster (being likely a combination of the fonts Wing Dings and Aster) and the so far the only characters that are named after fonts and speak with a font/typing quirk are obviously Sans and Papyrus, who are obviously skeletons.

So then I was like "haha, what if Sans is Gaster cause they're both sciency and skeletons" as like a joke. And then I started to think about it.

My initial theory was that Sans is just straight up Gaster and the "falling into his own creation and being shattered across time and space" thing was just a metaphor for Sans loosing his shit over figuring out the whole other time lines thing, but that theory had well- a lot of holes, to be nice to myself. For one thing, Sans and Alphys are friends. And if Sans was just straight up Gaster, one would think Alphys would recognize him and be like- "Dude didn't you use to be my boss?" Or smth. And not just Alphys, if Sans was Gaster I would think more people would recognize him. And that doesn't solve and of the weird stuff about Papyrus either. Given that he and Sans BOTH just kinda showed up one day, according to the shop keeper in Snowdin.

But I liked this theory, so I kept thinking, and came to what can only be described as an epiphany or my very own eurika moment.

Sans and Papyrus are BOTH Gaster.

CAUSE THINK ABOUT OK

IT ANSWERS EVERYTHING

Gaster was shattered across time and space after falling into what we assume is the Core. Key word, SHATTERED, as in split into peices. Sans and Papyrus randomly show up one day with little to no explanation of who they are or where they came from? ANSWERED BY THEM BEING WHAT'S PHYSICALLY LEFT OF GASTER IN THEIR REALITY. THEY DID NOT EXIST UNTIL GASTER FELL INTO THE CORE. Sans (and probably Papyrus) using Gaster blasters? ANSWERED BY THEM BEING GASTER. OF COURSE THEY WOULD USE GASTER'S ATTACKS IF THEY WERE GASTER. Sans being significantly physically weaker and smaller than Papyrus, all though he's better with people and scientific concepts? ANSWERED BY THEM BEING UNEVENLY SPLIT. Sans and Papyrus having drastically different personalities, typing styles, and character designs that could almost be described as exact complementary opposites? ANSWERED BY THEM BEING PARTS OF A WHOLE PERSON. Sans only having one glowing eye that's conveniently the same eye that what we assume is the Gaster overworld sprite has open? ANSWERED BY HIM BEING A PEICE OF GASTER.

"Oh but Sans and Papyrus are brothers!" What other word would they have to describe what they are? They're like brothers by mitosis or smth 😭

I'm loosing my marbles i need a cork board with string

Edit: actually now that I'm thinking about it, their codepency makes a lot of sense if you look at them this way. They just want to be whole again @_@

Did anyone else think Mettaton was like. Waist or shoulder height. I dunno why I thought he was box TV sized but I looked at his sprite and realized he's literally taller than Papyrus

His ass canNOT drive (neither can Dust or Horror they're all fucked)

Dust belongs to Ask-Dusttale

Horror belongs to Sour-Apple-Studios
