Started by @skeleplatypus in 2018, Papyrus day was created for the sole purpose of appreciating Papyrus! The day was designated as July 13!
So, what do you do on Papyrus day, you ask?
DRAW PAPYRUS!
WRITE PAPYRUS!
THROW YOUR PAPYRUS PLUSH OUT A WINDOW!
DISCUSS PAPYRUS'S CHARACTER TRAITS AND FLAWS!
MAKE PAPYRUS THEORIES!
GO FORTH AND DO SOMETHING! APPRECIATE THE SKELETON!
