If Sans is so commonly imagined as someone’s ideal boyfriend, why isn’t it as common for Papyrus to be imagined as somebody’s ideal boyfriend? After all, Papryus’s behavior and personality traits would indicate he’d make for a better boyfriend (going by typical tastes) than Sans.īoyfriend-wise, Papyrus has many good traits and few negative ones, while Sans has few good traits and many negative ones.
