Alphys wrote all the True Lab entries in Undertale, not W.D. Gaster, and in this video, I break down all the common arguments against her authorship with evidence from Undertale, Deltarune, and other official materials such as the recent Valentines newsletter and the Gaster Twitter takeovers.

Please don't use this video as an excuse to harass the other theory maker! I may disagree with the their wholeheartedly, but I prefer constructive discussion over hate, and the big sigh at the start was meant to be a bit.

The single BEST argument that not all the stuff in the True Lab was Alphys' work is her "using the blueprints" line, and even then, it's more of a "I'm using leftover equipment and i'm not confident" rather than "my predecessor solved everything i'm just gonna do what he did."

"no No NO NO NO NO NO" -- Alphys, 20XX

Everyone talks about Entry 17, but 16 is where it's at. Just look at this absolute masterpiece of an entry.

@noobfart 2 years ago (edited)

counterpoint: you sound exactly like what a confident alphys would sound like.

@jacquespaught 2 years ago

Another very minor point is the fact that Gaster's confirmed entry is called "Entry number seventeen", whereas all of the other entries are "Entry number 1", "Entry number 2", etc.

Genuinly hope Gaster has his own lab in the Deltarune bunker where you can read all HIS journal entries (which are clearly from a different experiement than the True Lab notes) in a manner similar to the true lab, and where Alphys's unused Entry 17 has been swapped for his somehow, because I think that would be the best punchline.

@skydragonslayer9820 2 years ago

I have a feeling this comment section will end up getting a bit toxic,mostly from people who have an irrational hatred of Alphys.

@martinat3884 2 years ago

Not everything needs to be about Gaster, the fandom needs to realize that Sans and Gaster aren't the only people important to the lore of Undertale.

@kau_for_thee_8567 2 years ago

Alphys comes up with one of the most prominent themes in the game(determination,or at least the extracted stuff of it) and Flowey who's responsible for freeing all monsters and yet she's treated dirty smh.

@eldricshadowchaser5454 2 years ago

At best, you can MAYBE connect Gaster to the blueprints for the DT extractor. If you follow that theory it has the interesting implication that Gaster might have been looking into similar stuff before he fell, but of course never got the opportunity to do any experiments on the subject himself.

@1BeautifulDuck 2 years ago

Alphys, the most lore significant character in Undertale, being sidlined for a character with zero presence in Undertale.

@HolidyGirl1225 2 years ago

Ive seen people defend the “Gaster wrote the entries!!!” Theory by saying “If you cant accept alphys is a fraud, then you don’t understand her character arc” and it boggles my mind. Alphys’ character arc is Alphys learning to come clean about her mistakes. She fucked up, and she knows it. But she cant just hide it forever, and she grows to face her mistakes head on. If these mistakes belonged to GASTER and not Alphys, it completely butchers Alphys’s arc and is just sloppy writing

@Primover 2 years ago

one of my biggest gripes is that the undertale fandom will attribute some of the entries to gaster and then not blame him for what he did to the amalgams, instead deciding that it’s all alphys fault for some reason. thanks for clearing everything up that it was only alphys for the people who do think it was anyone else.

@mushpuffs 2 years ago (edited)

I remember when my brother believed in the "sans wrote some of the true lab entries" and one of the first all-lowercase messages is about working on mettaton's body and we laughed really hard

@remixtheidiot5771 2 years ago

i love how this entire debunk can be summarized as "this is wrong because there was already a sensible and simple explanation of it in the main text of the work" lol.

kinda reminds me of jojo fandom and the araki forget stuff somehow.

@An_Account1 2 years ago (edited)

The thing that really annoys me about Gaster writing the entries is that Deltarune will likely give us way more Gaster, while Alphys will likely play a much smaller role, so giving the DT experiments to Gaster will just be a footnote compared to what he did in Deltarune while Alphys would lose her main achievement.

@Awesomeness-iz3dh 2 years ago

11:58 I just realized Undyne is the only character in this scene who is visibly struggling against Flowey with any success. Every little detail in this game is just so full of character.

@alliova 2 years ago

people want to see gaster everywhere so bad. the way i see it the point is that he is in the background, that he is hard to find, like a legend of sorts

@buttermanaws4693 2 years ago

Personally the only thing I put Gaster to is the blueprints, I believe it was something he was working on in it's early stages before he fell, this would also give some credit to why Asgore gave Alphys the task very soon after becoming the royal scientist as it was already a planned work in progress that he wanted to come true and some work was already done to make it happen
