A lot of people want a version of events where Gaster chooses mercy and instead raises the brothers as his kiddos, so here are some sketches along those lines. Since he never planned on adopting them he has no clothes for them at first, so he just puts them in his own, which are a bit too big. Someone wrote some little ficlets based on this idea but they're scattered all around so it's a bit hard to track them down specifically, but one idea they had I liked was that Gaster tied on their plates instead of drilling them in, thus the bandages on their hands. I also like the idea though of Gaster choosing mercyhe's brutalized them in whatever fashion, and then he has to try to regain their trust and make up for what he did to them. A hard road! In that case the bandages would be hiding the plates since they're not very easy to remove.suggested (in a sense) Gaster wearing a white turtleneck in a mercy scenario so sure why not.Sans, Papyrus, Gaster (c) Undertale: long bandage tails to get caught in doors and such
