It's so good to know that I'm not the only one who doesn't think that Sans is Gaster's son!!

If y'all want, I can chime in with some of my general interperetations of the given information we have of Gaster.

1.) Sans seems to still remember Gaster pretty well, but everyone, INCLUDING Papyrus, seem to be oblivious.

2.) Just because Gaster speaks in a certain font, it doesn't mean that he is necessarily related to Sans and Papyrus. If you are someone who looks deep into the theories and whatnot of Gaster working in the True Lab and whatnot, you may have come across a theory where Gaster may have written some of the entries aside from Entry Number 17 in the True Lab. If that is true by any chance, then that could say that Gaster can speak in more than 1 font (bilingual i guess???), and maybe Wingdings could be considered as sign language in the Underground.

3.) Addressing the Papyrus "blasting you to bits" thing regarding the special attack.. Of what we know, Gaster had some blueprints that Alphys used to make a DT extraction machine. But, it doesn't show anything of him actually designing the Gaster Blasters himself. (i may be wrong, please correct me if i am) Maybe Sans actually designed the Gaster Blasters in his own workshop to use AGAINST Gaster for some reason? And maybe he gave them to Papyrus to use as his special attack? I'm not entirely sure on this one; I'm kind of rushing this comment and not thinking it through too much, i'll probably edit it or something later.

4.) Gaster probably isn't a skeleton. Why? It appears that the skeletons in the game have visible teeth and nostril holes. If Gaster's a skeleton, then in his sprite (either mysteryman or redacted or both, it's your pick).. Where's the visible teeth and the nostril holes? He certainly resembles a skeleton in a few ways, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he IS a skeleton.

5.) Papyrus seeming upset about the player going to the CORE: If I remember correctly, he mentions something about his "best nightmare" or something involving the lasers in Hotland. The CORE has lasers, too, and it could be connected with that.

I have a feeling there are some points I may have wanted to adress but didn't, since I don't have much time before i have to do my guitar lesson :/

Please correct me if I have made any mistakes. It's kinda rushed tbh
