Whiteboarding With Mah Buddy!!!! Pt 3: Emotions

FORGETTABLE AU PAGES - LIVE REACTION

@forgettable-au Go. Read. It. 🫵

….oh my god.

ok y’know what, i’m not even gonna do my usual summarizing thoughts before going through the pages beat for beat- we’re diving STRAIGHT in.

strictly formatting these is overrated anyway

THE FIRST PAGE!!!

First of all awwwwww I hope we get to see Riverperson again… Flowey resting his head on top of Papyrus’ in the raft melts my heart as well.

For the first bit of dialogue here with Floweys internal monologue- OUGH I LOVE IT! I will NEVER get sick of getting into his head, he’s like us! a theorist! his thought process here is so me.… “ive never thought of the possibility that Papyrus might have been involved as well…” Welllllllll… You’re half right.

Im also looking forward to seeing the part of Wingdings’ story that explains Papyrus’ conveyor belt related trauma- cause cmon man whats wrong with conveyer belts 😭

Papyrus basically having a conversation with himself while Flowey just goes and does his own thing is SO REAL ALSO I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

ALSO LMAO THE BACKPACK IS ACTUALLY THERE- THAT WAS A THING I POINTED OUT AS A JOKE IN THIS POST- funny to know that was just a mistake, BUT IM ONTO YOUR LITTLE TRICKS!!! I KNOW ITS LORE RELATED SOMEWHERE!!!!

PAGE 2

PAPYRUS’ REACTION HERE HAS ME SCREAMING IN AGONY, I DIDN’T THINK IT WOULD GET WORSE- BUT spoilers. it gets so much worse. I mean I- kind of- spoiled it with the drawing at the very beginning….BUT- YOU SHOULD HAVE READ THE COMICS BEFORE READING THIS!!!

GOOGLY EYES PAPYRUS SPOTTED!!!! OHHH I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER and speaking of facial expressions I hate (love) Floweys smug ass in these panels 😭

THE 2ND TO LAST PANEL- OH THIS SHOT BEHIND AND BELOW PAPYRUS IS JUST GORGEOUS HIS SKULL AND JAW AND NECK- ITS ALL SO WELL DRAWN

PAGE 3

Talking about the actual dialogue for a second- trying not to get too carried away only focusing on the visuals.

Im very concerned we’re going to have a moment with the power going out, Papyrus and Flowey being stuck without the elevator just like Alphys and Wingdings were. Some chicanery is gonna happen comparing and contrasting how they handle that compared to the 2 scientists. Ofc thats a lot of speculation- But I cant help but feel like the talk about “the energy hopfully lasting long enough” is leading up to something….not fun.

Maybe what they do down here is a weird time mumbo jumbo that is important to make what happens in the past- happen. Maybe thats why Gaster is watching them…

“You should talk to my brother more!!!” …..I want to disagree- but also I want them to be friends and think they COULD get along

PAGE 4

“That would be weird!!” reference to when you call Papyrus in Alphys’ room….i see what you did there….

Also Floweys logic here about having hisss permission just made me giggle so much LMAO I absolutely love the repeated “Papyrus is hesitant” followed up by “Flowey presenting a sorta??? convincing argument” and Papyrus just being like “…ALRIGHT!”. Very fun and in character for him

PAGE. 5.

When I tell you- this K I L L E D. M E. GOD THIS IS SO WELL DRAWN???!?!?!?! I CAN FEEL THE SINKING DREAD- OOOUUUUGGHHHH THE DETAIL IN HIS EYE SOCKETS!!!!!!!!

This incredibly depicts feeling of sound filling your head- just AAAA IT HITS SO HARD AND IT HURTS SO GOOD.

PAGE 6

“Are you- uh..feeling anything?” Subtle Flowey. Very subtle. Though I love Papyrus’ complete misread of what he’s asking HEHDHE. Yknow, Its a belief among ghost hunters that “cold spots” mean theres a ghost lurking around. HM.

Also wtf are you talking about- Papyrus?? you “sometimes” have nerve endings 😭?? That line is incredibly in character answer for him, but also what?? maybe im missing something obvious. Ough the detail on the hand bone…

PAGE 7

WINGDINGS!!!!!!!! MY GOAT!!!! AND ALSO SANS!!!!! MY SLIGHTLY LESSER GOAT WHOM I STILL LOVE!!!!!!!!!!

God I wonder where this conversation is going to go- wheres Wingdings going with this? is he gonna tell him about the tape?? why did he LIE ABOUT THE CREVICE IN THE FIRST PLACE???? IM STILL HUNG UP ON THAT!

Its clear Wingdings plans on researching timelines because of the tape things, ofc, im just surprised he’s informing Sans about it since he’s proven to want to keep at least some of it a secret. At the very least he seems to really enjoy- controlling information.

Im calling it now, Wingdings is a pathological liar. (bold ass claim especially because he only lied once so far BUT IM CALLING IT!!!)

Also the talking and writing in wingdings here is gonna make me immediately rule out Alphys being involved in this conversation.

IN CONCLUSION!

I am. LOSING. MY MIND. OUUUGHH THE ART JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER, THE PLOT AND THE TENSION!!! IT JUST GETS THICKER AND THICKER. I can promise you, the pages are ALWAYS worth the wait…as a wise man once said…

(the real quote, if you dont know is by Shigeru Miyamoto and replate ‘comic’ with ‘game’)

Whiteboarding Pt 2 with my buddies!!!!!!!!!

and me = Purple/Papyrus :3

LOVE LOVE LOVE

THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS - UNFINISHED ANIMATIC

TAKE MY PAINE!!!!

IM SORRY IM SORRY DONT KILL ME IK THIS WAS A WHILE AGO AND NOW ITS NOT EVEN FINISHED AND IT NEVER WILL BE 😭😭

I wanted to explain why, before I analyze it as a whole- SCROLL DOWN FOR THE GOOD STUFF!!!

Basically YOU REMEMBER THAT ANIMATION I POSTED LIKE 2 DAYS AGO??? And how I wanted a new app to rig better??? Well @distantmaniacallaugh got me into Toonsquid. So THANK YOU DISTANT, MY OP :D but then that also means that im not animating on procreate anymore- ever. Toonsquid has……changed my life. im never going back. (get ready for some animations coming real soon, I’ve started like 6 projects 😭) BUT all of the frames done for this bad boy were done on procreate- so its actually Distants fault that this is unfinished so GET THEM!!!!

THIS ANIMATIC IS EFFECTIVELY THE CULMINATION OF ALL MY OBSESSIONS WITH JAX AND CAINES POTENTIAL RELATIONSHIP!!!

Showing the timeline of Jax’ development in the circus, so ofc beginning with his first day. Goose once said he handled it “not well” but we can pretty easily assume that based on the everything about him.

For this narrative specifically though, he’s at first confused and a tad concerned, before trying to take off the headset, it not working, then concern turns to panic.

Ragatha is quick to try and console him, telling him that everything will be alright despite the circumstances “take a deep breath”.

But then Caine comes in.

This is a representation of Jax’ whole attitude twords the place taking shape. Ragatha is someone who (at least tried to) believe your life does indeed matter in the circus, as she seemed to have a great mentor in Kinger for that sort of thing. But Caine is someone who, so far, doesn’t appear to value LIFE whatsoever. Mainly because he just doesn't understand it- but whatever reason he has for his actions doesnt matter here, since it comes across all the same. He interrupts Ragathas to ask Jax his name!

Caine interrupting Ragatha symbolizes Jax’s own viewpoint he’ll go on too have, that he will adamantly believe/go along with Caines view point than Ragatha and Kingers. I feel like Jax’ view points eerily reflect Caines own (as an AI who doesn't value other AI life, Jax is a human who clearly doesn't value other human life.)

Jax has been established to be someone who REALLY likes being in control, (as shown very clearly in the first 2 adventures-) and what I think makes for an interesting plot in how he could interact with Caine, is Jax is very much willing to TAKE that control. under any means necessary. What goes through his mind here when Caine asks his name, is “The Ringmaster has control.” “I want control.”

“Control The Ringmaster.” this last line being shown by how he chose his OWN name.

Time goes by, people abstract, some old, some new. Kaufmo appears, but doesn’t disappear, showing that this next moment happens much later in Jax’s career but still before Pomnis' arrival.

Jax is going about his usual business, talking to Caine, getting what he wants because he knows how to work the AI. He thinks he has Caine in the palm of his hand, but as we see from Caine zoning out and questioning things, he couldn’t be further from the truth.

But Jax is still blissfully unaware, going about his business, convincing Caine to give him random shit to have fun with and mess with people, including keys to everyones room, explosives, centipedes, and then him just stealing Zoobles limbs for shits- He couldn’t be happier to fully embrace the slapstick. There are no consequences here, so why act like there are?? (and thats where he’s wrong)

Its all going well, until Pomni requests to change the adventure (episode 4). Jax is like “…heeeyyy..only IM supposed to control the ringmaster- wtf man >:(“ but he brushes it off. Then the adventure turns for the worst, when Gangle makes it so there will be consequences- but not just for this adventure, no. Caine said “thats what my adventure(S) have been missing”

Guys Jax is so cooked in these next episodes

be scared

MY BOY!!!!! MY BOY!!!!!! THE BOY???

Ough this is so so gorgeous and honestly one of the most impressive artistic feats ive seen- THE DEDICATION IS CRAZY!

My boy is riiiiight there :3

as a celebration- heres some more art of him! He got demoted cause he lost a bet to Bubble :3

I plan to do more with him but nothing too serious cause this entire au is basically one big shitpost and Caine + Ragatha interaction excuses. (GUYS THEYRE SO SIMILAR YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME)

GROUP PHOTO!

Drew every Caine I could think of- apparently you can fit 50 Caines on one sheet of paper lol (and I’ll draw more next time!)

TIMELINES MUST PASS

Time Will Pass @forgettable-au fan animation :3

Decided to practice some animation with this wonderful song/animation meme/trend???

Inspiration credit:

@mannawanna on Youtube!

@Sherrickmadds on Instagram!

heheheheheHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAHAHAAHAHA I LOVE THESE GUYS SO MUCH AND THIS AUDIO JUST FELT TOO PERFECT FOR EM!!! ON WE GO TO THE ANALYSIS

The direct actions:

Sans smiles at Wingdings, who does not return it

Sans is bothered and upset by this, before closing his eyes and accepting it.

They go back to staring up at the ceiling, except Sans looks sadder now.

Wingdings continues to sing, content with this.

GASTERING TIME

Cut to the present day-post papyrus day,

Gaster is belting out happily while Sans is horrified at what his…brother??? has turned into.

Before they both come to a (reluctant on Sans’ half) acceptance at the situation.

What they’re supposed to translate to:

Sans encourages Wingdings to come out of his comfort zone. Instead of staying in the lab 247 and shutting out the rest of the world while still wanting to make it a better place with his inventions- why not grab some food at Grillbys?? (I just thought of how funny it is that Sans can’t get Papyrus to enjoy Grillbys either, for different reasons but still. CMON GUYS- GO GET SOME GREASY FOOD WITH YOUR BROTHER)

But he shuts this idea down constantly, no matter how subtle or direct Sans is, he can’t seem to stop his brother from going down an incredibly self destructive route. When he closes his eyes and looks back up at the ceiling…I wouldn’t call that “giving up on Wingdings” but definitely trying less hard. He cant force him to do anything so why try

(ofc Alphys comes in- BUT THIS IS A 24 SECOND ANIMATION, WE DONT HAVE TIME FOR THAT- CHOP CHOP!) (also just as an aside i love that when Sans realizes he cant force Wingdings outside he just brings the outside to him 😭😭)

But Wingdings is fully content with this “giving up”. He gets his way!!!

Thats when we see an interaction between these two, YEARS later. Sans is, needless to say, pretty horrified at whats happened to him (we’re ignoring lack of memories in this situation btw) but Gaster is thrilled and tells Sans that basically “I wont be here for long, i just wanted to say that despite my actions I promise I loved you” which Sans feels many emotions at- but “grief” bundles those all up in a nice trauma bow.

Gaster then goes on to say basically “this has been fun, but this is probably the last time we will ever interact because I have business to attend to, and you have Papyrus’ to attend to!!!” Sans reluctantly accepts this. Again. Gaster always staying within his comfort zone and Sans just going along with it because he cant force his stubborn as hell brother to do anything.

Basically long story short, Sans is not happy in either of these situations. Both times Wingdings puts his work above his brother.

Wizard…

imagine a goat with a hat

STOP-

what hat did you give the goat what is the instinctual hat you gave to this goat

Merry Easter!

Take some adorable art + new ocs that spawned from me and my buddies (@fruitytrip) chocolate rabbits
