don’t forget.

part one

After the update, people were quick to assume that this was a picture of Sans and Papyrus with Dr. W. D. Gaster. However, fans failed to recognize that this text replaced another important part of information:

Frisk is able to recognize their friends in the photo album this picture is hiding behind. Though poorly drawn, it’s very unlikely that they wouldn’t have been able to recognize an attempt at capturing Sans and Papyrus’ likeness, no mater how crude. So the question is: Who is in the drawing?

Well, considering that Sans and Papyrus are named after fonts, the fact arises that there are three Wingdings fonts.

Before we look at the text itself, let’s look at the in-game data hinting at the existence of these two other supposed characters.

Before the update, people believed that the “two” hinted at in Entry Number Seventeen were Alphys and Sans. But this is nearly impossible, as the grey npcs state that Alphys was hired as a result of Gaster’s absence. There’s also the fact that Alphys had to pass off Mettaton as a sentient robot to get her job, suggesting that she had no previous experience that Asgore could have hired her for.

That leaves only one other character with a possible connection with both Gaster and Sans put in her place; Papyrus. But even with his love of puzzles, he does not seem to recognize Alphys’ lab, or even know much about Hotland at all.

If we are to believe that there are two other characters we haven’t been presented with yet, then Sans might not have even been in the equation to begin with.

Then there’s an inconstancy issue with the grey npcs themselves. Though they all agree that Gaster was a brilliant scientist, they all have differing stories as to what happened to the doctor.

As there are three grey npcs saying different things, then perhaps they aren’t not being completely honest, but referring to the fates of three different people. But then why refer to them all by one name? Did Gaster overshadow the other two Wingdings characters so much that the only thing remaining of them is their demise? Or is Gaster not an actual person, but an alias the three of them worked under…?
