**Disbelief** is an AU created by Tumblr user thezombiedogz and later stolen by the tumblr user disbeliefpapyrus as an idea of a "what if" roleplay and is now owned by FlamesAtGames.

It was created on October 4th, 2015 on Tumblr. The story, created by disbeliefpapyrus after they stole it, takes place on an alternate genocide timeline in which, instead of Papyrus, Sans is murdered by the human.

The story became truly popular after a long gone Youtube channel named Venom Sans uploaded a video called "Papyrus no longer believes in you..." which starred the sprite of Papyrus in his first phase, along with an animated fanart- accompanied by Interstellar Retribution by dboyd and Kommisar which has now been forever associated with Disbelief Papyrus. The video gained over 1 million views and was always Venom Sans' most popular video, as well as the most popular upload of the particular track. FlamesAtGames, the new owner of the AU, recreated the long lost video himself but extended to include the full track. In the current version, Disbelief happens after multiple Genocide routes.

## Description

In this AU, it is implied that Papyrus has similar abilities to Sans. He's depicted as wearing Sans' hoodie on top of his usual clothes and wielding a bone that surpasses Papyrus' height. He's in a constant state of sadness, which can be noticed by his tears, and rage towards the human. His right eye only glows orange when he enters a battle with the human, as it'll only activate when such terrible feelings exist, and with it he can see everything the human did and intents to do. His eye occasionally flickers between orange, yellow and light blue (in Phase Three).

During a battle, he can enter in different phases, each one harder than the previous one (except Phase Four).

### **Phase One**

Papyrus tries to convince the human to stop fighting. He is not visibly angry at this stage; he is instead deeply saddened by the human's actions and clearly misses his brother. The human's attacks will be blocked. At the end of this phase, Papyrus collapses and bursts into tears, regretting his decision to fight. However, he will still continue to block attacks until the transition to Phase Two. Theme: Interstellar Retribution.

### **Phase Two**

The bone Papyrus was wielding will break into two halves. He is now in a state of cold rage and claims that the human deserves to die. He's able to change the bullet board and replace all ITEMs with Spaghetti, which heals 0 HP. (Except in the new playable version, It actually heals HP.) At the end of the phase, he will hesitate and then ultimately stop himself from killing the human, before eventually transitioning into Phase Three. Theme: "Phase 2" (often referred to as "Interstellar Strike Back").

### **Phase Three**

Papyrus's SOUL begins to resonate as his memories of Sans and Undyne (in her Undying form) enter the fight. It is interesting to note that Sans's attacks are much easier than those in his canon fight, suggesting that Papyrus had limited knowledge of his brother's power. Similarly, Undyne is much more overpowered than even her canon Undying form, as her attacks are sped up to a point where they are near impossible to block. Finally, Papyrus comes to terms with the fact that Sans and Undyne are dead. He then decides to confront the human and attempt to change them before it is too late. It is also important to note that Papyrus displays the ability to manipulate the player's maximum HP during this phase. Theme(s): Backbone + But the Earth Grew a Spine.

### **Phase Four**

Papyrus is still believes in the human and begs for them to spare him and have a good ending, while using attacks reminiscent of his "really cool regular attack". The human then strikes him down and continues to attack his skull even as he claims he still believes they can change. Theme: Final Chance.

* For unknown reasons, the demo of the official Fan-game replaced the original Undertale on Google for a short period of time.
* Prior to the AU becoming popular, streamer Vargskelethor Joel proposed a similar premise during an *Undertale* playthrough.
