  11. Does he have a canon love interest? How do you compare?

    Soriel is basically canon! Even though I'm nothing like Toriel, I absolutely ship it.

    They have a great dynamic, particularly in UNDERTALE. They're unlikely friends who first bond over a silly sense of humour and slowly lift each other out of depression. It's adorable how they try out the other's hobbies. I love the trust they put in each other. All the shenanigans they get up to post-canon are hilarious, too!!! I'll never forget Toriel drawing hair on Sans's skull T__+T It's just so silly. The way they riff of each other is God tier.

    With the "DR!Sans becomes UT!Sans" theory practically confirmed, there's a whole new layer to their dynamic now. Sans might recognise her voice, but he doesn't see her face or know her name... I wonder how much of their relationship is based on what Sans remembers of the Other Her. I think they have enough chemistry as total strangers to not even need that kind of backstory, but it really piles on the angst doesn't it? The romance, too! It's kind of like they are choosing each other in every life... Ah, I love it. They're so good together │

  12. Do you ship your husbando with anyone?

    I ship Sans with EVERYONE!

    Seriously! I'm not picky at all. As long as Sans is there, I'm happy to see it, and I can find something unique to love about each and every pairing. Besides Soriel, I love Frans and Sanschara, and my OTP is Sansnomaly! Sans has a very unique relationship with the Anomaly/the person playing UNDERTALE. We torment him, we delight him, we frighten him, we teach him to hope again... He's aware of us in a way that nobody else is. The implications! Ugh!!! I just adore the meta narrative of UNDERTALE!!!!

  13. What's your husbando NOTP?

    I don't feel strongly enough about any pairing in any fandom to call it a NOTP.

    I guess, of all the Sans ships I'm aware of, I care the least for Sans x Doggo. Doggo is kinda ugly and I'm just not a furry. They have a funny dynamic, though. He doesn't like Sans because "he always appears without moving," which I can imagine Sans does on purpose just to fuck with him. I love, love, love it when Sans acts like a bully, so it would be fun to watch them interact just for that!

    Really though, I like all art involving Sans. The pairing doesn't matter as long as he looks cute/cool/sexy. I'm pickier when it comes to fanfiction simply because of the effort required to consume it. Artwork can be looked over and appreciated very quickly, meanwhile the written word requires more dedication and attention. For that reason, I only seek out stories of the ships that I really, really like.

  14. Are you envious of any of his canon relationships?

    I want him to dote on me like he does Papyrus...├

  15. Character Analysis

  16. How do you feel about your husbando's character arc?

    Beautiful. Impeccable. Flawless. 10/10.

    There's still more to see in DELTARUNE, but as far as UNDERTALE goes I'm totally satisfied. My whole brand is vivarism— of course I love narratives about traumatised people choosing to live! It's best when it literally is about forgoing a death wish or overcoming suicidal ideation, neither of which have anything to do with canon Sans. So in his case, it's less about turning away from death and more about turning towards love, life, hope, and the future.

    Ummm about the commented out 'i promise' dialogue... yeah

  21. What are some common misconceptions about your husbando?

    I almost don't want to answer this because I could rant forever...

    People think Sans remembers what happened in previous timelines. He doesn't! He is one of a handful of characters aware of the time loop, but as far as memories go, he's just as clueless as the rest of the cast. Obviously, there are ways to work with the headcanon that he does remember, but I think it's way more interesting— AND LORE ACCURATE!— when he doesn't.

    People also think Sans is a nihilist, someone who sees no point in living and perhaps would rather die. You can make your angsty case for suicidal!Sans, but it's quite obvious in canon that he cares... He cares about everything. He cares a LOT.

  22. How would you describe his outlook on life/personal philosophy?

    Sans is an Epicurean, through and through.

    I'm thankful to [this video] for pointing it out. If you don't feel like clicking on an hour-and-a-half long video analysis on Sans, I'll just explain it for you real quick.

  23. If he was real, is your husbando the kind of guy you could get along with?

    Of course! Sans can get along with everyone!!!

    He'd have to be gentler with me than with other people since I'm so sensitive. His pranks might hurt my feelings! But he knows how to dial it back. He knows when to be genuine, how to have real conversations, and handle me with kid gloves. I really don't have anything to worry about because Sans would want to get along with me. He'd naturally change his behaviour to make sure we both have fun.

  24. Official Appearances

  25. Which official artwork is your favourite?

    I'm obsessed with this limited edition coaster they gave out alongside during the GIGO x Fangamer event.

    HE'S JUST SO CUTEEEEEE OH MY GOD I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM!!!! I wish I could have eaten the Sans-shaped taiyaki, too...

  26. What do you think of his theme music?

    Short answer: I'm obsessed.

    Long answer: ... oh boy. Rant about "sans" piano arrangement, my fave remixes, "It's Raining Somewhere Else" obsession, how bonkers bananas I went when "The Place Where It Rained" played in chapter 4...

  27. Which husbando outfit/form do you like best?

    I like him in his usual blue hoodie!

    Sans doesn't change clothes often... it's kind of a running gag.

  28. Beyond Canon

  29. Has your husbando appeared in crossovers?

    Yes, he's the most popular UNDERTALE character!

    Smash Bros. (though it's not really Sans...), Groove Coaster, Pop'n Music, ummm what else? Hahaha.

  30. Does he have merchandise? Do you own any?

    Sans has a TON of merchandise!!! I have plenty of it, but it's still not enough... heh.

    Link to my old merch page... Share pics of The Sans Wall and SANSDOLL!

  31. What's a little known secret about your husbando?

    SHORT ANSWER

  32. Which fan theories about your husbando seem most likely to be true?

    The "Other World Sans" theory was basically confirmed in DELTARUNE Ch.4!

    Sperg about "The Place Where It Rained..."

  33. If you could make one headcanon into canon, what would it be?

    SHORT ANSWER

    FURTHER DETAIL

  34. Do you have any wishes for your husbando's character or source material?

    I just want to see more of him...

    People have been pointing out how DR!Sans isn't as cool or competent as he usually is— basically hinting that in this story he's younger and more immature. I'm not necessarily opposed to seeing him in this awkward stage because I'm always going to think he's silly and adorable. So I guess
