Hiya all, I'm Swirl and I'm bringing THE GREAT PAPYRUS from Undertale, your favorite game of petting dogs and dating skeletons. He's coming from the same timeline as his brother (to the relief of them both), which means he's been training under the exiled queen to be a great mom. It'll surely help him to be a great dad to random human teenagers, somehow.

Papyrus is very loudly very cool, in a way that is definitely not covering insecurities, doubts, or loneliness - or the stress of living trapped within a mountain, with no prospects for sunlight or escape from the occasional roaming murderous human. He's happy to tell you so, in surprisingly practiced detail, and happier still to drop the matter and just emphasize his coolness, or narrate the shenanigans as he and his brother collaborate and/or compete in pranks. Smiling and making the best of things: it's the Snowdin way.


Either way, he dresses as coolly as you'd expect somebody who sometimes speaks in the third person to dress, with sunglasses any time of day, and either a costume or the... uh... hottest of fashions on display. As a human in Santa Rosita he'll be adapting more to the styles of the people he sees around town, and best of all he now has hair to style, and will be doing so with a gusto. See: icon.

I'd love for his various TDM threads to be canon, at least in the sense of characters remembering them - even with the conflicting realities of who lived where or did what on Halloween. I'm planning for him to only really remember these highlights through the month, so that the whole thing will be dreamlike, and being human thing will be fresh for him to experience with the game's proper beginning.

You can find me on plurk at swirlingflight - I plurk about games I'm in or have been in, a bit about work stresses, and a fair bit about other interests (videogames, art, ttrpgs, cute animals, etc).
