What if Sans and Chara SWITCHED BODIES?

Here's what I think. There are many theories that Sans is a human; specifically because he acts like no other character in the game. But what if he was somehow Chara trapped in Sans' body? That would explain how he knew about timelines and saves, and it would also explain Chara's hatred for humanity. Because that was Sans, a monster with perfectly good reason to hate humanity, in Chara's body. When the switch happened (How will be explained in a bit), only their minds switched, not their souls, so they now had the powers of the body they were in. Chara, realizing in despair that he no longer could control the timelines and saves, gave up trying to do anything, knowing it would all be eventually reset. This theory also explains how Chara was liked so much by the other monsters, because he had already known them as Sans, and connected with them so well that they befriended him. Also it makes it even more fitting that Sans is the one who judges you in the game, because what is more fitting that one human being judged by another, instead of a random monster? It also explains why neither Sans or Chara truly die, with Sans simply faking it using ketchup, and Chara continuing on without a soul. The body switch could have affected them in that way. There are probably plenty more examples that I am missing but whatever. Its enough. As to how it happened, we have W. D. Gaster to thank for that. His failed expirement not only spread him out through time and space, but it happened when Chara fell, and nearby too. This caused destruction in the area, turning all nearby buildings into... you guessed it (or did you?) RUINS. Also, Sans happened to be nearby too, because he saw the human, and wanted to kill him. When the expirement went wrong, TADA! They switched bodies. Chara, not yet knowing he was in Sans' body, ran off at the sight of ASRIEL, who had come to see what the commotion was. Sans, also not realizing he was in Chara's body, stayed back, familiar with the sight of Asriel. (BTW Asriel needs some more creative parents. His name is litterally a combo of Asgore and Toriel.) Feeling hurt, Sans let Asriel help him up, realizing soon after, although too late, that ironically HE was now the human that he set out to kill in the first place. I could go on, but I think I got a bit boring in this.

Let me know if you want me to continue.
