​Inhales slowly.

​exhales slowly.

​Gaster is not Sans and Papyrus's father, nor is he the "fusion" of both. Gaster is in no way related to the two skeleton brothers.

To start this off. We don't even know if Mysteryman's name ​is even Gaster. Sure, the sprite is called Mysteryman and there's a theme named "Gaster's Theme" in the full soundtrack, but no, who knows? Maybe Mysterman's name is Bob, or Josh. And just because we find the sprite, and it LOOKS​ like a skeleton, doesn't mean it is one, and not all skeletons are related, how is that even possible! Imagine if all skeletons were related, all the deteriorated corpses of humans would one day be related, that would be really weird finding out that your wife, husband, boyfriend, or girlfriend was actually a relative of yours.

Second, there is no proof that Mysteryman is related to Sans and Papyrus. It doesn't even hint it.

Third, you shouldn't have been snooping around in the files anyway! Didn't you heed Toby's warning? No!

Fourth, you probably asked this because you saw a FANMADE ​comic.

Fifth, we need actual proof from the game, don't you dare reply and say "What about Entry Number 17?"

​WE DON'T KNOW WHO SPECIFICALLY MADE THAT!

Once it says: "..🕈☟✌❄ 👎⚐ ✡⚐🕆 ❄🕈⚐ ❄☟✋☠😐✍" you immediately think "SANS AND PAPYRUS OH MY GOSH!"... wrong. The person speaking could have been talking about Bratty and Catty, or Dogamy and Dogeressa, or Asriel and Chara! Maybe even Toriel and Asgore! It doesn't have to specifically go straight to the skeleton brothers. (Which it probably did due to Sans being "mysterious")

I rest my case.
