Let's not forget that if we're quoting outside sources and Toby's preivous works, Homestuck has thousands of more allusions and possible characters that would fit Sans's role or Gaster's, for example, in Homestuck John Egbert uses his powers to spread a black goop across all of space-time to prevent suffocating in it,and later puts his hand in a superweapon causing it to be also sent across all of space-time, so if we say that has anything to do with it, then Sans's badge could be one of the post-godtier sash badges, the book is John's three friends, Rose, Jade, and Dave, etc.

Of course that's just a bunch of junk I made to make a point. He has these things just because Toby liked his previous works and it's physically impossible to create a truly original idea, even if he wasn't trying, his ideas had to be based off of something in the past, which is why trying to pull external sources to explain Undertale is a terrible idea, as it creates garbage like that crackpot theory I just made. Let's not forget Toby hates that Halloween hack and calls it poorly made, why would his current game have much to do with it, let alone be some kind of sequel?
