Papyrus and Alphys are two Characters who barely interact with each other, which is probably the reason why their relationship might appear uninteresting.
Whenever I see fanwork of them, people only seem to think about the scene where they go on a jog together after the date with Alphys.
And while there's really not so much to say about them, I think there's still a bit more than that.
Let's look at what Papyrus says about her:
He calls her great, follows her online and for some reason wanted a puzzle of her so badly that he asked Undyne if she could ask Alphys for him. It seems he likes her quite a lot.
Well, he likes her at least so much, he wants to befriend her by showing her his "huge biceps":
… and guess what, that's exactly what he does (or tries):
Alphys, however, is (understandably) not very impressed.
That he's trying to get her attention, is something that can be seen mutliple times.
Whenever he hears she's hanging out with someone or going somewhere, he immediately asks if he can join, too.
That one is a joke, but still...:
This is more obvious in the alarm clock winter dialogue:
Papyrus could've picked his brother for hockey, but instead he chose her (Sans wasn't even part of his team).
And the way he talks about her, is almost … cute?
But what about Alphys?
Well, she has never talked about Papyrus, so it's not so easy to tell what she thinks of him. Though, if you look at her reaction to his awkward tries, you get the impression that she doesn't like him very much. She seems to be weirded out and confused or even visibly annoyed, like in the date scene in the garbage dump:
Well, that's not gonna stop the great Papyrus from trying!
So, what can be said about this in the end, is that Papyrus likes Alphys. He's trying to befriend her and he's really bad at it.
Alphys is not impressed.

if there's one thing this last episode has affirmed for me about Alastor it's that he FUCKING HATES being reminded that he's not the most powerful creature in hell.
Like, he hates being ignored by Carmilla when she says she doesn't care why he was gone
He hates Lucifer ON SIGHT
He threatens to KILL Husk when he dares to mention that Alastor is working for someone more powerful than him
and now this.
Alastor freaking out because he almost died. Something almost killed him. He can fucking die. There is something more powerful than him out there. And it's not something he can ignore or brush off because it almost killed him.
Alastor hates the reminder that he's not as powerful as he tells people he is. He isn't indestructible, he isn't invincible. And he fucking hates that.

thinking about bg3 astarion introduction. something very funny about meeting a weird guy on the road and he's like "hey, sorry for trying to stab you. i'm a lawyer btw" and you're like well that seems true. and you click on his picture and see that his character class is just Professional Liar

I think one of the biggest tragedies of Laios & Falin and their relationship is how much his actions impact her life. But like. Specifically how much they WOULDN’T impact her life as much if they weren’t both stuck in such a shitty abusive situation.
This part of the Falin-tries-makeup daydream hour comic is what got me thinking about it again because truly it just... it seems like such a like an offhand comment that I'm sure Laios didn't mean to be cruel or anything. That's just like. A little kid not thinking about what they are saying. ESPECIALLY when the kid in question is Laios.
But man they depended on each other SO much as kids. Too much. It really feels like they didn't have any other source of positive reinforcement, or anyone else to share themselves with. So of course an offhand comment like that has a huge impact on Falin.
Or this little bit from one of the flashbacks:
This tears me apart. Do you think it tears him apart to think about? I think it does. I think Laios holds every small failure to care for Falin against himself.
And then there's the Bigger stuff. The way that him coping with his own trauma ended up impacting her.
Like his interest in monsters. Like him going to find a ghost, and accidentally revealing Falin's magic to the whole village in the process.
Like him needing to leave. And leaving her behind.
He shaped her life so much, and he carries so much guilt for it. And again, there should have been other people there to help. The same things that made Laios need to leave home are the things that made his leaving so hard on Falin. She ate alone after that. She shouldn't have had to eat alone just because Laios wasn't there.
She was 9 when he left for school, and he was 11.
Nine. And Laios feels like he failed her because he didn't stand by her through this better. As an eleven year old.
Both of these kids deserved so much better from the world.

I saw one scruffy older Cora-san design and had to draw my take on it immediately, with a bonus Law to fill space.
You can say a lot of things about One Piece Odyssey, but it did give us a Law & Cora tag-team fight in which Law shambled to the location of Cora's bullets and that is just objectively cool.
