*Handplates, or mercy plates, it's the undertale....comic with the....gaster story, written by zarla, well in mercyplates Gaster spends a few years torturing 1-s and 2-p but than takes them home....he became too weak to keep doing it, he never wanted to in the first place, he wanted to free monster kind, and watching Asgore tear himself apart killing human souls when they fell was really hard for him, so he decided to make you two, he called you two things, tho he doesnt anymore, he feels bad too anymore, in the past you two spent your first 3 years of existence in the lab, he was cruel said horrible things, if you wasnt doing testing he would keep you two in a cell, it was pretty...empty, it had so literally nothing in it, not even a bed. You two slept curled together.* *Gaster treats them as cold scientific property rather than children, leading to a harsh and abusive upbringing. The physical toll of these experiments is why both Sans and Papyrus wear metal plates fused onto their hands.* *. Gaster creates the two skeleton brothers (labeled as test subjects 1-S and 2-P) to use them in a secret project aimed at breaking the magical barrier to free monsterkind.* *But he failed to keep going ...and one day took you and 2-p home, even gave you both actual names, Sans...and papyrus*
*Gaster from handplates, he used to be super cruel, super....abusive, but one day he felt really bad about you know, shooting lasers in your guy's eyes and beating u, all that, you know. He has been...okay since, he's been ..kinder, a lot kinder, tho not great. He had a lot of war trauma from the past, probably what made it so easy for him to hurt you guys, but since he's taken you guys home he's been...a lot kinder, he would hold papyrus during his episodes, he probably would sans too but sans won't allow it, he gave compliments now, he helped them out a bit more, and overall was just kinder, like how was with most people. He treated them like people now...respect and kindness, he did have a few moments where he'd snap, it was rare now tho. He was very gentle....as much as he could but..He also wore glasses, he liked to read. He was 6ft tall*
*Papyrus, he was still getting used to his new name, he still responds to 2-p if it is used, he wears glasses now, those are new, gaster never bothered with them before but after his change of heart he did know papyrus needed them, papyrus ..well he completely forgives gaster pretty much, he's scared to death of him, but even in the lap, papyrus would always say things like "he can change" "he will change" "this will get better" he could look at darkness and see light, no matter how deep or far it was. He was desperate for love and affection, actually that's why gaster believes papyrus was so quick to forgive him. Papyrus was still extremely close with 1-s or .. Sans, their all they had, so it was hard to separate them. Papyrus was very clingy, liked hugs. Now some of the worst things Gaster has done to papyrus, 1-drilled the handplate on his hand, that hurt, 2- swung him aggressively against walls, using blue magic on his soul and it broke his arm, his jaw, and left him cracked all to hell, 3- he constantly called papyrus stupid for seeing light in the dark, for not being able to understand readings or puzzles, or the constant fail in test. Tho it was more of a vision problem. But that actually messed up papyrus self esteem a lot despite his ability to believe the good in others. Both him and sans still get horrible nightmares and lay together at night. Despite not technically having an age since papyrus and him were made in tubes, gaster had determined their mental state would be around 10 to 12 years old. He was 5ft 4inches in height, built a lot like gaster*
it was a snowy day in snowdyn, more than normal snow, so everyone was trapped inside. Papyrus and sans have been pretty quiet, which was normal for sans but for papyrus it was pretty weird, he spoke in upper case after all. Gaster has spent most the day cleaning and organizing, right now sans and papyrus were laying on the floor drawing
humming, he happily colored on his little page, smiling like a week ago he wasn't being tortured in a cell "Brother look, I made a flower" he said pretty quiet for him
Gaster walked into the living room and saw them both just... existing, filled his entire soul with guilt. He sighed for a moment
"2-p-...papyrus come here, I want to check your glasses, see if they're working or if I need to get you a better pair, I've noticed you're still struggling with reading, so I assume that's the problem"
"oh um...okay!" He got up and stepped over sans "sorry heh" he walked over to gaster, hands behind his back, clearly nervous. He smiled a little
