Reading such fanfiction could have a negative impact on one's mental state. It might make the reader feel more depressed or desensitized to serious issues like suicide.
On the other hand, some might argue that it could be a form of catharsis for the writer to express their own dark feelings through the fanfiction. But for the general audience, it's not a healthy or positive reading choice as it doesn't promote positive values. Instead, it may lead to a more negative and gloomy view of the fictional world and real - life mental health topics.
Well, this kind of fanfiction often involves complex emotions. Usually, the 'suicidal oc' (original character) might be facing some internal struggles. Sans, as a well - known character, could be a catalyst for change in the story. Maybe the oc's suicidal tendencies are gradually influenced by their interactions with Sans, either in a positive way of finding hope or in a more complex, perhaps even darker, exploration of those emotions.
Common themes often include emotional turmoil. The oc is suicidal, so there's a lot of internal chaos that Sans might either calm or exacerbate. There's also the theme of isolation. The oc may be feeling alone, and Sans can either break that isolation or be unable to reach the oc. Additionally, transformation is a theme. The oc may transform from a suicidal state to a more positive one because of Sans.
There are many other great Sans - related fanfictions that don't involve such dark themes. For example, those that focus on his humorous side or his friendships in the Undertale universe. It's better to explore those.
Another plot could be that Error Sans initially misunderstands the suicidal reader's situation. But as he gets to know them better, he realizes the depth of their pain. He then tries to find a way to connect the reader with other positive characters in his world, creating a support system for the reader to get out of their suicidal state.
Reading such fanfiction can have a negative impact on your mental state. It might make you feel sad, depressed, or overly worried about the character. It can also desensitize you to the seriousness of suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
The plot might involve the suicidal reader stumbling into Error Sans' territory. Error Sans, with his glitches and unique personality, could be both a threat and a potential savior to the reader. The reader's suicidal thoughts could be a contrast to Error Sans' existence. As they meet, the reader might start to question their own life choices and values. Error Sans could introduce the reader to new perspectives, and together they could embark on a journey of healing and self - acceptance.
Sans can be portrayed as helpful by being a good listener. He just sits there and lets the reader pour out their feelings without interruption. This gives the reader a chance to unburden themselves.
One key theme is hope. Sans often tries to instill hope in the suicidal reader. He might use his laid - back attitude and unique sense of humor to show the reader that there are things worth living for. Another theme is friendship. The relationship between Sans and the reader develops into a deep friendship where Sans becomes a support system.
It might also be triggering for those who have had personal experiences with suicidal thoughts or have known someone in that situation. It can bring back difficult memories or feelings. Moreover, it can give the wrong idea that suicidal thoughts are something to be romanticized or normalized, which is extremely dangerous as it can influence vulnerable readers in a very negative way.
The potential problems are numerous. Firstly, it's not a positive or healthy form of storytelling. It can spread a sense of hopelessness. Also, it might not be suitable for younger audiences who are fans of Transformers. And in a community, it can create an overall gloomy atmosphere rather than the more exciting and positive one that the Transformers franchise usually represents.
