As we are nearing the end of CoB, I thought I'd point out a funny observation I made after a particular "Eureka!" moment I had last night.
Over the years I've kept the way Sans speaks in CoB for the most part pretty ambiguous. I know a lot of people like to envision Sans with an accent of some sort, so I wanted to grant the reader the ability to imagine whatever kind of voice they wanted for Sans while reading.
This was also due to the fact that for the life of me I couldn't figure out how CoB!Sans sounded in my head or ever settle on one type of voice for him. ^^;
But after many years of deliberation, an untapped market was brought to my attention!
I do think Sans would have a very dynamic voice with a wide range regardless of potential accent, and I know a lot of y'all enjoy Brooklyn accented Sans...
But in my own mind...in honor of my stepmom and the true Southern energy I was brought up with...the idea of Sans, his mom, and even Papyrus having some form of a subtle Southern accent that gets more noticeable depending on emotion...the idea is just TOO good!
This is in no way saying y'all's interpretation of their voices are wrong btw, and I'm not editing dialogue to reflect that. They can still sound however you want when you're reading CoB. This was just a fun thing I came up with for how "I" specifically hear them in my head when writing and I thought it'd be fun to share. ^^
Might explore the idea more in future one-shots, but otherwise I will leave you to do with this info what you will.
More CoB hopefully coming soon!
