C'mon you son of a bitch.
World.
Speed.
Record.
We can do this.
SANS.
Now's not a good time.
Aha.
Yeah I'm gonna have to pass on that last one.
Besides, I already covered an Undertale video on creepy and weird shit.
And at this point, we'd basically be scraping at the bottom of the barrel and talking about
THEORIES.
And stuff.
Huuuuuuuhhhh.
You're killing me dude.
What do you guys not understand about "now's not a good time?"
You what?
You didn't!
What do you want, Flowey?
Alright.
If I promise to make another Undertale video, would you kindly make like a tree, and LEAF?
God dammit, Sans!
He didn't find that funny
at all.
There’ve been a
lot of comments on my last Undertale video joking about how the fandom itself is creepy.
I would certainly say that the fandom is… passionate.
So much so that fanfics and comic dubs can be found in abundance on the web.
Ranging from the cringey, to the bizarre.
And then, there’s Sixbones.
We’ve already gone over how absolutely screwed up the concept of amalgamates found in the
true lab are.
These souls of monsters fused together, doomed to suffer in confusion for the rest of existence.
Naturally, someone thought to take two of Undertale’s most beloved characters and
throw them into a horrific what-if scenario.
The result: Sixbones.
There doesn’t seem to be any official lore on Sixbones, however based on a few short
comics and illustrations depicting this fan creation, Sixbones is an amalgam of Sans and
Papyrus.
In this alternate universe, Papyrus is gravely injured and desperate to save his brother,
Sans brings him to Alphys who is conducting experiments that are rumored to “save”
monsters from death.
Alphys is reluctant to help but Sans insists.
She injects Papyrus with a liquid that is presumed to be determination, and not long
after, Papyrus, while no longer dying, begins to feel strange.
Sans desperately tries to calm his brother down as Papyrus begins to melt onto him and
they eventually fuse into one tragic being.
This alternate version of Sans was created by Tumblr user, Lover of Piggies, and depicts
a reality in which Sans became an error in the game’s code after a failed encounter
at the end of a Genocide run.
Having gone insane, Sans appears as an inverted version of his former self and travels between
alternate universes in the fandubbed “Undertale Multiverse”, determined to seek out and
destroy all “anomalies”.
That’s a bit ironic isn’t it?
Imagine this - You've 100% completed the game and you feel like traversing through the files.
While looking through the .ogg's, you find one called "abc_123_a.ogg".
Expecting some kind of unused soundclip or just a strange name for an already existing
one, you open it up...
Instead, you’re greeted with this:
Well if that’s not ominous and creepy I’m not sure what is.
These disoriented Text-To-Speech voices from FL Studio, threatening you 'not' to spoil
the game aren’t something you’d expect to find in the files of a typical game.
But this is Undertale we’re talking about.
Since Patch 1.001, the file just laughs at you..
There seems to be a huge plot hole in the neutral ending.
How did the protagonist cross the barrier if they lacked a monster soul?
Flowey destroyed Asgore's soul, and there's no way that the protagonist is just keeping
one on them from any other monster they may have killed.
Except...
there's nothing to indicate that the human left the underground at all.
Sans calls them up and they don't pick up, so he just leaves a message.
Also, Sans probably wouldn’t be able to call the human's phone if they were in the
overworld, leaving a heavy implication the human died trapped underground.
What exactly is Tem Armor made of?
Some players believe it's made out of temmies.
Some take it a step further and believe it's made out of living temmies.
Let that sink in.
In a genocide run, you can keep taking pieces of the snowman until he's reduced to a pile
of snow but he never becomes ash.
Not even after you eat his remains.
Apparently, since patch 1.001 there’s a segment in the music files that when run through
a spectrograph produces this image: Also as of patch 1.001, it's possible for
Gaster's stuff to trigger randomly instead of going into the game files to re-add them.
The old method of going into the game files and changing the fun value to “66” doesn’t
seem to trigger the secret door anymore.
This already adds a layer of creepy that Gaster's somehow putting himself back into the game,
but imagine playing through blind and running into the mysterious door in Waterfall, or
the Gaster followers at the Hotland elevators.
In fact, it might even be even worse if you already knew about Gaster beforehand, since
you’d know for a fact that you didn't edit your file, so you know he's not supposed to
be there, it's almost as if he's starting to pull himself together irrelevant of what
you do.
At first, Papyrus' comment about having a low follower count online and Mettaton's comment
about his low amount of viewers seems like funny jabs at how popular they think they
are vs how they actually are.
This...doesn't really make sense though.
Papyrus is a well-loved member of the community in Snowdin, and Mettaton is supposed to be
one of the biggest stars in the Underground.
But then remember the war between the humans and the monsters, and how so much of the land
you travel is empty of life...perhaps the war took the lives of more monster than we
thought.
Going into the game files and adjusting the fun value can cause the Grey Monster Kid to
appear in Waterfall.
He stands alone at the end of the boardwalk near where Undyne first throws spears at you.
He doesn’t say much though what he does have to say is curious.
Bringing him one of the umbrellas near the rain statue triggers a few extra lines that
don’t seem to add much to revealing who he is, though many players speculate that
it is a proxy of Gaster, based on his first few lines of mystery as well as his similar
color scheme to the cryptic Gaster followers.
There’s a trope known as the Tomato in the Mirror.
It’s the term used to describe a twist in any scenario where there’s a self-reflective
realization.
For example, a lost man wanders around looking for help.
He doesn’t remember who or where he is, though for some reason, everyone he encounters
runs away screaming.
He then comes to remember who he is and realizes that he died a few days ago.
Throughout the game, there’s something that you can't kill because of its inexplicable
control over time.
A being that can't manifest itself in the world, but has the ability to assume control
of a host vessel and use it as a tool to exert its influence in your world.
Something that will help solve all the problems your people face in one timeline, and then
murder you and all your friends in another, only to restore them all and ensure none of
you will remember it ever happened.
Something that acts entirely on its own system of morality and treats genocide as a method
of alleviating its curiosity or maybe just boredom.
Something that nobody can ever see or touch, yet is always present and aware of everything
that's ever happened to it, even if its host body has been destroyed countless times.
Sans calls it the Anomaly.
What is it?
You guessed it!
It's you.
The random encounter mechanic itself becomes terrifying in a No Mercy run once you think
about it.
You know how the encounter rate slows exponentially the more monsters you kill?
This means you have to move more to get into the next fight.
Now imagine it from the monsters' point of view: You are actively chasing down the remaining
monsters as they're fleeing in terror from an unseen Serial Killer, and they only fight
when there's nowhere else to run, in a desperate attempt to buy the others some time.
You may also notice a few characters try and convince you to stop.
What’s creepy is the revelation that the fate of the characters and many of their interactions
aren’t addressed to the avatar you play as, whether you think it’s Frisk or the
Fallen Human.
They are talking to YOU, the player, in the hopes of convincing you to abandon the run
and start anew.
YOU are the only one who can stop this horrible slaughter and YOU need to do it BEFORE IT'S
TOO LATE.
(Unless, of course, you mess with the save file.
Then you’re fine!)
It’s the revelation that YOU, the player, were
the “monster” the whole time.
