Realisation: Songs that are associated with ghosts all share the same base song. Spider Dance also uses that song despite Muffet not being a ghost. But she was hired by Mettaton.
Also i recently learned that on the no mercy route it's actually Alphys who warns Muffet about you, when she's trying to evacuate everyone (unfortunately, "a spider never leaves her web . . . except to sell pastries").
I always liked the interpretation of MEGALOVANIA that it's your theme. After all, it's always been used as a theme for villains, and you don't get much more final boss-like than a possessed child aiming to destroy the timeline.
responding to this here from the video game thread, although this is a good observation, given that Sans has an unplayed fight-track song.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
I'm going to cry right now about Napstablook and Mettaton. Things unsaid, things always known, things you realize right when you think you're going to die...
Yeah, Papyrus did the exact same thing but it wasn't as dramatic.
the Load and Reset features have to be isolated to within the Barrier, because you can't reset the entire world because of all the humans, you can only reset the (Barrier World).
So to that effect, the True Pacifist ending could take place years and years after Frisk fell into the Underground.
i am still pretty convinced Sans doesn't know what happens on other playthroughs besides knowing that they exist, and being able to make inferences from player actions
at least, i like it better that way, i feel it's more consistent with his behaviour and makes him more interesting
i think the bit about the "echo flower" at Grillby's is a misjudged attempt at threatening the player (since he infers that if someone's making predictions to Papyrus, it's got to be the anomaly), and the more direct threat at the hotel is because by that point he strongly suspects that you're going to cause the end of the world

I agree with the first bit. The line about the "echo flower" reinforces that--Papyrus tells him a flower was talking to him, he assumes the flower was an echo flower rather than Flowey, who has learned to stay way out of his way by this point.
I find it interesting that the threat in the diner doesn't change based on playthrough--in runs where Frisk has killed people, it papers over why Sans hasn't gotten involved, but in runs where Frisk has just been the sweetest kid to everyone? I guess it's sweet to know that Toriel was watching out for you, but still.

not that I want to right now, I'm just curious
PTA Sans is what I get up in the morning for.
