[@tru3vort3x2]

I can imagine sans and papyrus finding gaster again in the void, but this time he's desperate to smoke and they have to calm him down from his former addiction before they can start talking.

[@therextwins1086]

The way gaster crimsons After hes reminded of calling his son's things Oh my heart Come on gaster you can be good I think the truth is He really does regret what he did Everything about it And Tim they really are his sons He just doesn't want to admit it to himself And that he thinks hes a bad person from all hes done so he doesn't think he deserves to have anything good happened to him Or to be good do anyone I just really hope it he'll do some more soul searching like hes been doing and realize Hey I am a good person and they are my sons and I love them or something Like if you want a wholesome ending to hand plates

[@JustMeandMyPaperDragons]

@@DarktoLight561true omg…

[@winterblox1]

how the hell did gaster's smoking addiction last for such a long time, even after being secluded into the void for such a long time away from cigars/cigarettes

[@vipergrider6091]

I think it's because in the void time doesn't exist , plus he was really disoriented so he probably didn't get urges or cravings

[@Sin_Lord]

​@@vipergrider6091yeah, thats what I was thinking. If time has no meaning in that void, Gaster is in the exact same state he was in when he fell. I can't imagine going through nicotine withdrawl for like, 20 years like that ;-; poor Gaster.

[@Jake_Gotthard]

Only reason he came back was for a good ol’ ciggy ☠️

[@bobjone8039]

@@winterblox1 time means nothing in the void.

[@shadowwalker1650]

I have a feeling sans attacks are like that because he is the “judge”. Papyrus can only see the best in people, sans sees everyone for exactly as they are, nothing more or less.

[@Boonetube27]

3:18 I love how he doesn't use it on Gaster, because Gaster's sins would make it extremely painful...

[@DontBeUpsettiHaveSumSpaghetti]

Also I’m pretty sure sans saw Asgore’s memories in an earlier episode, so he didn’t want to experience Gaster’s.

[@audreyholmes9751]

And keep in mind he didn't actually use it on him. Gaster just asked for an invitation to touch it, he just told him no. The bait was there, but he pulled the hook away before the bite. That shows growth in sans, he could have let him touch it. But he didn't.

[@gachawolf134]

I swear, if they reset.. I’m gonna cry in the corner with sans🥲✌️

You and me both! 🤣😭

[@animerpgfan2370]

I love watching Gaster wanting a smoke lol 😆

[@CatInVanessaStolkardPainting]

Imagine the player, and he they feel. their 100% going to be questioning how the fuck a new skeleton appeared, and how the story changed so drastically-

[@Weatherbg11]

"What the fuck? This isn't a fan game, nor did I install any mods... HOW IS GASTER HERE THEN?? And why are the skelebros acting so weird towards him?"

[@petermorenusiii8080]

Bro just took the biggest smoke intake in his life, thank asgore skeletons don't have lungs. The reason gaster was so fucked up cuz is he was alone with his crippling smoke addiction

[@KyuuMinamoto]

Lmao

[@EnderKingDubs]

And another episode done and dusted! Phoenix did great on this one, so give the video some love! I think I also did pretty well as Sans this time around. I especially loved Zarla's callback to the Genocide Route with Gaster's "I have to try". Can't wait to see the next one!

[@adumbcanadian773]

So glad this is still continuing, absolutely love it!

[@FlyMiCat_yup]

I AGREE

[@TrixieParker]

I don’t know why, but Sans saying, “hoo boy,” got me good. 😂 1:55

[@abitofjoyandsorrow]

Hooooo boy

[@liamlangan6329]

Absolutely fantastic! And a long episode too. Gaster reunited with his smoking is hilarious.

[@gachacancer7911]

Bro the way Dr gaster just grabbed a cigarette was so funny to me

[@smolsheep8144]

Gaster getting that joy and relief from smoking after so long is equivalent to Eclipsa tasting her favorite choculate bars after 300 yers

[@lithaafton5986]

Totally relatable Gaster, I'm the same rushing through airport security to get outside and smoke lol

[@fattybumba]

God this deserves so much more popularity than it currently has, this is getting so damn good!

[@CyanicCore]

4:50 We know "Radic" already reached the Pacifist ending of the game at least once. This means they knew what would happen if they went to face Asgore. When they were trying to get inside the Skele-house, could it have been an attempt to get information before the Lost Souls sequence? Edit: Wait... doesn't Papyrus cause the true ending sequence by calling everybody? How does...

[@mediocrio]

toriel and alphys would’ve been there, at least!! maybe even undyne if radic did alphys’ date event. i’m sure that would’ve been enough to trigger that chain of events, given it was about the monsters’ sense of protection towards the human

[@missjulyfarraday]

Amazing job, guys! Looking forward to the next one! This part made lots of questions arise. Gaster doesn't seem at all surprised that they all live inside a video game. Does it mean he's known for a while now? Why isn't he disturbed by this knowledge? Has he ever wondered about the reality of "his own" choices? (It's something I've been thinking of for years now, actually. If their world's nothing but a game, then doesn't it mean it's not really Gaster who made the choice to do what he did?) Also, there are the theories of who "player 2" could be. I doubt it is Flowey/Asriel. So either it's the Annoying Dog (since he basically created that game and coded everyone's backstory and behaviors), or it's... Gaster himself. Zarla constantly seems to make parallels between the two, including the fact both the human and Gaster can use/write with both hands. Could Gaster be player 2 all along without knowing it? Alternately, it could be that the goopmonster is, and Gaster's still involved one way or another.

[@erikakimsupload2897]

Awesome theory..! I cant wait if its real!! 💛🤩

[@AkaiAzul]

Player 1 is of course, that who controls Frisk, but "Player 2" is a lot of ambiguous. Think of "Player 2" more like a "Dungeon Master." It is possible to play "Dungeons and Dragons" with a single player character, with the other player controlling, or writing the interactions of the world, but that's not it alone. In such a game, sometimes scenarios are prewritten. In this story, we have a prewritten scenario created by Toby, aka the Annoying Dog, but we also have the author of this story. A more accurate statement of who "Player 2" is would be who is writing this story.

[@missjulyfarraday]

@@AkaiAzul The "author of the story" being player 2 doesn't work here. Because the author is Zarla, and the human is controlled by... Zarla herself too. (It's canonically confirmed by the name "Radic", the Zarfox avatar, and Zarla herself.) So your suggestion doesn't work for there to be 2 players...

[@AkaiAzul]

@@missjulyfarraday That's not necessarily true. Although you're correct, the choices for Player 1 to make have already been explored. We've seen genocide, pacifist, and now this, a "perfect run." In universe, a Player 2 is inserted, Zarla, to create this perfect run, where normally it'd just be Annoying Dog.

[@missjulyfarraday]

@@AkaiAzul Except that Zarla herself had stated several times that the human/the player in this story is HER. "Frisk" is Zarla's in-game avatar.

7:03 I was playing tic-tac-toe with myself once and wasn't paying attention at one point ...and I lost against myself. so with that, I don't think this is 100% true... It was one of the most embarrassing things that ever happened to me that nobody had ever seen 💀

[@alaktusarratum]

Did frisk do just what I think he did? Oh no no no no no no no no no no. Come on Frisk! Gaster finally is trying to be a good dad. he's still unredeemable but come on.

[@CyanicCore]

Since when was there 12 days since the last upload!? Goodness it feels like time is in limbo.. okay, before moving on to the next one: 1. Love to see the new boundaries forming between the trio. It feels very natural, and makes room for kindness in the future. 2. I'm surprised Zarla's going down this route with the player. None of the initial concerns about control are addressed, yet it still gives them direction. 3. The cigarette gag felt a little odd at first, but isn't it rather in touch with the author? Over the years there've been a lot of shenanigans off the main series... 4. (Rip CapsLock Gaster, even to save Asgore...) 5. Did you get a new PFP?
