Everyone says “Poor Papyrus” but forgets that he is a very intelligent person who isn’t ignorant cuz he wants to be, but because none of the other monsters want to tell him what’s going on. He thinks being a member of the Royal Guard is a position of respect and of people who serve justice, which it is, but no one ever told him it also meant that you didn’t just capture humans. You kill them.

When he tries to capture the player character, he admits he doesn’t even know what happens after you’re sent to the castle, all he knows is that that’s just what you’re supposed to do. And when he sees Undyne get “murdery” he’s incredibly nervous, cuz no one ever told him that this is what would happen.

Less protect Papyrus and more be honest to Papyrus so he wouldn’t get hurt in the first place ahhh.
