I cannot describe how I feel right now with mere words.
I will instead use screaming.

So, I'm gonna be taking a 3D Modelling class next year.
May make shit, don't expect it to be anything quality.0May 16-
¤RunninginReverse¤Update: I looked at Blender on my own, before taking the class.
Instructions not clear. Got dick stuck in Blender. -

If Cam got to rant about Game Theory, I can get to rant about Underlab.
I haven't even watched the video and I can already tell that most of this is just pulled straight from their anus. None of it is canon if it didn't come from the game or Toby - it's not "everything you didn't already know" if it's not true and canon. It's "everything you didn't already think was true." And it's probably not right from any stand point - the closest they'll probably get to being correct was someone possibly having an AU sorta like this.
I can also tell from the thumbnail alone that this theory is just meant to be edgy and ruin Alphys as a character for many people by feeding people lies about how she injected Determination into herself or whatever the unholy fuck. Fuck these guys.0April 16-
DoomlordKravokaAlphys could be poisoning the water supply with determination as an insane post-monster experiment and she still wouldn't achieve the sort of awfulness that Sans does every day. You're fine. -
¤RunninginReverse¤@DoomlordKravoka
So, Sans deciding from reset after reset that it's not worth giving a damn since whatever he does is gonna be erased anyway, and only realizing he needs to get up when you're at your strongest and there's no going back if you enter that throne room...Makes him more of a bad person than someone poisoning the water supply with a substance known to put people in a fate worse than death?
Seems legit. -
¤RunninginReverse¤Tbh, Alphys has done a lot more terrible things than Sans even possibly has. Subjecting dead Monsters to a fate worse than death, then hiding them away, keeping them from their families and not letting them know what happened to them...
-
DoomlordKravokaHe's entirely aware of how shit of a justification that is. Most people spend every second of their lives knowing that a meteor or false vacuum collapse could erase them and everything they care about. Yet they still do things that justify their existence instead of being minimal functioning internet maymay bait. I initially despised Julia when reading 1984 because she cared less about overthrowing the psychotic dictatorship and more about having sexy times away from government eyes and yet she's still better than Sans because the threat of vaporization is not only obvious but inevitable yet she still rebelled instead of complying like every George Soros faced cog in the book. Actually, as much as I imagine almost everyone in Oceania looking like George Soros, I just realized that I imagined them having similar proportions to Sans. Wondering if that's just a coincidence.
-
DoomlordKravokaFuck, Alphys should also be aware of the time alteration going on. You don't see her using that as a justification for being lazy.
-
¤RunninginReverse¤Can you honest to God tell me that knowing your actions have no meaning as they'll just be reset to a set time frame, being completely aware that this is happening, with no idea how to stop it and knowing that, at some point, everything ends and the timelines stop - within the same day that gets reset ad infinitum, no doubt - you'd still be willing to work hard?
It's also hard to tell how lazy Sans is canonically, tbh, just that he appears to do no work at all on the surface. It's entirely possible he works very, very hard behind the scenes, and that's why you see him sleeping so much and not paying attention to his public jobs - he overworks himself fruitlessly trying to stop the Anomaly, as well as monitoring it and tinkering with the machine in his workshop, equally fruitlessly trying to get it to work for...Some reason.
Also, Alphys canonically has no idea you're resetting the timelines, because she has nothing at all to monitor or even have any knowledge that something's up, besides that feeling of deja vu everyone has - Sans is the only one known to have more knowledge than that. -
DoomlordKravokaCan you repeat yourself some more? I know he's aware of Determination fueled time travel. I also know that you have a hard on for BAD TIME XXXXXXXDDDDDDDD
Toby can try to redeem Sans, but we all know that he's not going to make a new game if he doesn't want to be only known as "that Undertale guy" forever. -
¤RunninginReverse¤"repeat yourself some more"
The second and third paragraphs are not me repeating myself. Two points out that it's hard to tell how lazy Sans really is - a point I didn't make originally - and the third points out that Alphys has no canon knowledge of timelines.
And Toby doesn't need to try to "redeem" Sans, because there's nothing wrong with him - apart from being a bit lazy, which does not make him the worst being in existence.
Say Sans is a bad person all you want, but A. Don't expect me to buy it, and B. Don't say someone who's just lazy is worse than poisoning water with something that causes a fate worse than death, that there's also no escape from because you're also immortal. -
DoomlordKravokaWhat "fate worse than death"? Alphys did them the ultimate favor by protecting them from total nonexistence. IMO she did more damage to their psyche by hiding them from their loved ones than by fusion them together.
-
¤RunninginReverse¤. . .
They wouldn't be "totally nonexistent," one. They'd just be dead - arguably the better fate for them, tbh. Death equaling total nonexistence would be Flowey, who has no SOUL to move on to whatever afterlife exists.
It's hard to say the Amalgamates aren't likely in a lot of pain. Imagine being in a state between life and death, constantly feeling like your own body is falling apart, all the time, as well as being turned semi-amorphous and mixed with someone in a similar state. And having to live like that for all eternity, likely whilst bending the laws of time and space against by mere presence. Not to mention some of the worse-off ones - Snowdrake's Mother can't even form an effective bullet pattern, something likely horrible for Monsters that use magic as a form of expression.
Most of them can't even form coherent sentences - the only ones that can, to my memory, being the Memoryheads(and even they require the Cell Phone to do so) and Lemon Bread(who explicitly says "Welcome to my special hell," only more proof that being an Amalgamate is not a pleasant experience). Snowdrake's Mother is just barely conscious and aware of their situation enough to say "Sno...Wy..." -
¤RunninginReverse¤Oh, yeah, since I mentioned Flowey in the first paragraph - another thing Alphys did wrong that makes her worse than you think Sans is. If Alphys didn't create Flowey, none of this would have happened in the first place; Sans would have remained happy if it weren't for Alphys giving something without a SOUL the will to live, and the skeleton we'd meet in the game proper would be a very different person than we know. It's also mentioned in Genocide that Flowey commits suicide in his first "route," due to the inability to feel love, and that's how he discovers how to load his SAVE. So, technically, Alphys' experiments drove him to suicide, because they left him unable to feel love.
-
RockheartAsriel had a SOUL. And his dust was on the flower Alphys used. Pretty sure that was the reason for the whole Flowey debacle, and not "Alphys shouldn't do experiments, even though she's the royal scientist and that's what she was literally hired to DO".
-
¤RunninginReverse¤@Rockheart It's not that she shouldn't do experiments. It's that she shouldn't be playing with things she has no idea how they work. At least don't test them on Monsters yet - she should have at least tested them on inanimate objects and see how that fares first. She tested it on ONE inanimate object(though, technically, still alive - a plant) in total before moving on to testing on Monsters, and that test's results were skewed because Asriel's dust was on it.
And, Flowey specifically states that he was revived without a SOUL. Injecting Determination into him woke him up, but his SOUL had already moved on. From there, he became...Y'know.
I also think it was just about the worst idea Alphys had to test the Determination on Monsters after losing her only other test subject. That test subject could have disintegrated, disappeared from existence, etc. for all she knew. Hiding that she fucked up made it worse. -
DoomlordKravoka"It's that she shouldn't be playing with things she has no idea how they work."
For the safety of us all, please never get elected. -
Jarr2003@Running Saying that a scientist shouldn't play with something they don't understand is ridiculous. Early humans barely (if at all) understood fire, yet they still played with it, leading to them discovering that they can cook food. Furthermore, scientists testing random things on humans is nothing new. Look at how many strange science experiments that were made during the 20th century. Whether or not these were ethical is one thing, but saying that Alphys is an awful person for doing something that many scientists probably would have done is simply wrong. Plus, who knows how many things there are in science that we think we understand, but in reality have currently little understanding of. Look at how people used to believe that the sun revolves around the Earth or that some people even today insist that the Earth is flat. It's nothing knew for people to believe they understood everything, only to discover they were entirely wrong. It's very well possible Alphys, in a misunderstanding of how determination works, hypothesized that determination can bring anything that once had a soul back to life. Furthermore, if I remember correctly, there were various flowers similar to Flowey in the true lab. This makes it very likely that she had indeed tested determination on more than one plant, and concluded that there must have been monster dust on the flower, leading to the creation of Flowey. This likely led to the hypothesis that determination brings dead monsters back to life. The only way she could have tested that was with real monster dust. Yes, she didn't understand quite how determination works by then, but how was she supposed to understand it without further testing? One can only theorize so much about something before they have to test it, and Alphys did just that. She was simply unlucky to have such disastrous results. -
¤RunninginReverse¤@Jarr I'm not reading through that fucking wall of text. At least put a line break in there somewhere. >.>
-
¤RunninginReverse¤I'm gonna drift this argument back to the comment that initiated it...
"Alphys could be poisoning the water supply with determination as an insane post-monster experiment and she still wouldn't achieve the sort of awfulness that Sans does every day."
My point to this whole thing at first was that this was blatantly false(Sans' only "crime" is being lazy, which isn't even a crime - not to mention he's the last line of defense for the world being destroyed), but then we sort of went off to if what Alphys has already done is bad or not.
I also haven't seen any arguments on Alphys hiding that she fucked up, or not even trying to find a way to fix it. -
RockheartDoing something terrible to someone's family is a great way to get yourself hated.
Alphys isn't an idiot. -
Jarr2003@Running In addition to what Rockheart said, Alphys was horrified by what happened. She had no idea what to do, and for all we know could have been condemned by every single person she's ever known for what she's done. It's only after the player explores the true lab that she finally realizes that she must reveal the truth, despite what happened.
Furthermore, she most likely did try to fix it. She couldn't just kill them, since that would be cruel, but curing them is also practically impossible. As a result, what could she do?

So, I noticed something for Toby Fox's works as a whole(Halloween Hack, Homestuck's music, and, of course, Undertale).
Dr. Andonuts' battle sprite is asymmetrical. This includes his eyes - his left eye appears different from his right one.
Then, we look at Vriska Serket. She wears her Eightfold thing on her left eye.
Finally, Sans...Is blatantly obvious. I don't even need a picture for that one.
I sense a theme here.0April 14-
-
LefianI thought Toby Fox was the dude who did FNAF. My bad.
The obvious answer is: His right eye is bigger than his left! Just... look at it! Am I the only person seeing this? -
¤RunninginReverse¤@Lefian My point was that eyes seem to have a theme with Megalovania, particularly the left eyes.

Something I just realized....
Everyone else you fight in Undertale - LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE - wants your SOUL to get to the surface.
Meanwhile Muffet is just like
0April 5-
Jarr2003"Everyone else"
Here's a list of other characters who are shown not to care about the player's soul:
Sans, Papyrus, Toriel, Alphys, Mettaton, the amalgamates, probably several normal enemies, etc. -
-
¤RunninginReverse¤@Jarr Papyrus wants to get you captured, which will lead to losing your SOUL to Undyne. An indirect connection.
Sans wants to reach the surface just as much as anyone. He just doesn't act on it.
Toriel...Err, yeah, you're right.
I specified everyone else you FIGHT in Undertale, which removes Alphys from the list.
Mettaton explicitly wants your SOUL to escape to the surface and deny Asgore the chance to wipe out humanity.
The Amalgamates...Are complicated. Very, very complicated.
And, "probably" doesn't necessarily mean "definitely." -
ViniWhile RiR has a pretty solid point, the "literally" part means one valid example is enough to break the premise of the joke.
Literally. Use it with moderation. -
Jarr2003@RiR Papyrus doesn't want the player's soul, though. He couldn't care less about it, he just wants to join the royal guard.
Sans doesn't fight Frisk because of his/her soul, though. He fights Frisk only when he/she has killed literally every other monster he/she can find (excluding Asgore). He knows that even if he obtains the soul, time will just be rewinded anyways, so there's no point.
Alphys, fair enough. I forgot that Mettaton did want the soul in his final fight, too.
