Talk:Fun Girl/@comment-32786947-20180130200227

I feel perhaps a note should be made in the trivia section relating to the fact she's absolutely inspired by, or even based on W. D. Gaster from Undertale. There's too many similarities to deny it- from dialogue to even the very concept. However, I'm wondering is there a particular reason it hasn't been mentioned- but just in case there isn't, here are a few ways she's similar (or...almost identical, even) to his concept:

- Both characters were accessed by the "fun" value falling at a specific range of numbers. This was within a file that the player can interact with in the game files. - Both characters are in their current situations due to an experiment going wrong. Fun Girl was purposefully put into the machine, while it is unclear if W. D. Gaster fell in or the experiement simply went wrong (or both) - Both characters have been shattered across time and space due to the experiment they were involved in. - While unrelated to W. D. Gaster specifically, the "BUT NOBODY CAME" is a direct Undertale quote. It refers to what happens in the Genoside Route when you have killed all of the monsters in an area, so each of your encounter screens following that become quiet and dark with the message "but nobody came" alluding to the fact there's no one left because you finished them off. - A monochrome version of a character called Monster Kid (Nicknamed Goner Kid), who is possibly linked to W. D. Gaster in Undertale, discusses the topic of how scary a world where everything is the same except you don't exist would be. Fun Girl seems to allude to this as well when she discusses how being forgotten is the hardest part of her fate. - "YOUR IDEA OF "FUN" SEEMS VERY VERY INTERESTING" is very similar to one of the few canonical W. D. Gaster quotes we have from a log entry he wrote which can only be accessed through file manipulation: "THIS NEXT EXPERIMENT SEEMS VERY VERY INTERESTING"

Overall, it's quite clear where her design/story inspiration came from. Since her initial release it appears he's avoiding making anymore Undertale references with her, but I do still believe it should be included somewhere. It seems wrong not to include it anywhere as it's almost like taking work without crediting it- but regardless I'll end it here. I won't be tracking this page jsyk- so I won't know if I've been responded to.
