Sans AU Headcanons about a hear me out cake (killer sans, nightmare sans, color sans, horror sans, ink sans, dream sans)

Killer Sans is the type of person to put the most god awful characters on the hear me out cake or even put one of the Sanses in the room on the cake as a joke

Color Sans would actually have reasonable hear me out characters but one out of all of them is gonna be the most confusing thing ever

Nightmare Sans would refuse to print out pictures (because he doesn’t know how) and just draw one singular person on the cake with his finger into the icing, and this fictional crush is a person from a ye old ancient scroll

Horror would pull out the most shocking, horrifying, scandalous hear me out, like something nobody expected, and act like it was normal

Ink would put himself on the hear me out cake (self love babbbyyyy)

Dream would say ‘MY WORD! WHAT IS THIS TOMFOOLERY YOU ALL ENGAGE IN? THY PEOPLE ARE FOOLS!’ And dramatically gasp then gallop away on a toy horse like a medieval king

Guys this is a joke please don’t come after me 😭

Quick Doppletale Lore Post before I forget things (under the cut)

Soooo. One of the main themes in doppletale is starvation in the Underground and how that drives monsters towards Desperation (<- I think that's gonna be a reoccurring word like Determination). That keeps them alive, at the cost of higher cognitive function.

Monsters disguise as Humans because they can only survive by eating human flesh. Disguising is the easiest way to lure humans in and not waste energy hunting. Monsters also have different "modes" of disguise. One is a high-energy disguise which is usually when they mimic humans. The Second is when Monsters take on their iconic "Monster" appearances, which is usually how they appear unless they're hunting, and it takes up less energy to maintain depending on their forms. Then there's the Third, where a monster reverts to their "true" form, which is a magical mist, which requires no energy, but also leaves them at a high risk of dissipating if they lose focus.

The First requires they eat human flesh often to maintain the disguise, the Second needs flesh every few months/years depending on the shape and size, the third requires nothing to eat but us very fragile.

So, Shopkeeps in Doppletale (ex. Grillby, Burgerpants, Nicecream Guy, Etc) usually take on a Monster form. They're not actively hunting, and prefer to make their areas a safe-space for humans (even if it's only to let others hunt them later) so they don't need to waste energy and disguise. Grillby, as a flame monster, is probably the most efficient monster underground since his flames only need oxygen, and he rarely bothers to form a mouth. He hasn't eaten for spans of up to 23 years. Meanwhile Burgerpants (who despite his best efforts actually exerts a lot of energy trying fruitless to keep monsters in the MTT space fed and happy) needs to eat far more often, because his form just requires it to live.

Monsters in the Royal Guard, though they're supposed to be the first like of defense, we're some of the first to give into Desperation. Their training, their human disguises, and their constant attention backfires on them when the number of humans falling dwindles. Undyne is only as sane as she is because Asgore personally ensures she's well-fed (and unlike Gaster, she tends to keep her bounty to herself). Meanwhile guards on the outskirts like the Snowdin Dogs were often left without a morsel for themselves, and therefore Desperately attack any human they sniff out.

A lot of normal monsters flop between disguises and their monster forms. If they turn to mist, they're as good as dead, because they'll be swept away on a light breeze and lose themselves. They have to be careful not to lose themselves too. The family in Snowdin who disguised as Stones? Yeah, they forgot they weren't stones, and now sit motionless in their home. No one's sure if they're still conscious or not. Heat Flamesman appears as a fire monster not unlike Grillby, but he's more forgetful and often says his name aloud so people around him will remind him he's not just a flame. (Grillby's willpower is stronger than that, and he had regular customers, so he stays grounded.)

The ghosts are a completely different species from Monsters. Mettaton, Mad Dummy, Napstablook, and Ruins Dummy don't eat human flesh, and don't really run off of anything but their own grudges abd wishes from life. Ruins Dummy haunts the freakiest dummy ever in the Ruins, but they're harmless and quite fond of humans if they gift them a decoration for their Dummy. Mad Dummy is a haunted shopping mannequin and is stuck inside it, passed that it's not free to roam and search for a new body. It's the most violent of the four. Napstablook forgot what he looms like and his face is like a void, so he's very sad. Mettaton is happy with the vessel Alphys designed and holds onto his grief and mourns his wasted potential rather than holding a grudge towards anyone else.

And of course, I'll circle this back to Sans, Toriel, and Asgore.

Sans is the most well-adjusted of the three. He was very strong and trained himself into preserving energy in his human form when he still used it to work in the lab (minimal movements, sitting around, being messy, etc.) And when he got a taste of Desperation he immediately reverted to his monster form, a skeleton which wouldn't need to eat or drink very often unless he exerted a ton of energy. He keeps up those bad habits of energy conservation even after he's on the surface and has plenty of food. (His Skeleton shape influenced Papyrus and likely saved the little skele's life.)

Toriel is desperate to keep up uer human disguise, in the hopes that more humans will fall. She wants to shelter and protect then, which leads to her exerting a lot of energy that she doesn't need to. Routine keeps her teetering on the brink of Desperation. When the fallen human arrives, she finally gives into Desperation to save one human, and the human has to get past her one way or another.

Asgore is also set on upholding his human disguise, but for him it's his duty. To pass the barrier and save his people, he *must* be human. Otherwise he's no king. Otherwise he's hoarded food for no reason. He has eaten many humans, and is therefore very sane, though it wears at him to see his people go hungry.

I just needed to expand on the worldbuilding surrounding the Food System with DT lol. It works as a horror piece, but only if it's story makes sense to me. Otherwise it's dumb and boring and a Mandela Catalogue rip-off 🙏🙏🙏

Nightmare by jokublog

[nmnoir]

Something I see a lot in the UTMV fandom nowadays is people talking about canon. "Canon Nightmare wouldn't act like that," "Ink is morally gray," that type of stuff.

The issue is that UTMV started out as a community project and will continue to be a community project. Fanon is incredibly important to certain pillars of the fandom. People are allowed to interpret the characters differently!

It's important to recognize the source material and respect it, but you must also respect different creator's stories. This isn't a community based around one big canon source material. It's based around countless comics, animations, characters, and fanfics that have been shared for years now.

People are not just going to abandon ideas they have loved for years because of the canon of the source AU. I LOVEE seeing canon Nightmare stuff, but I love dadmare or any other interpretation just as much!

In the UTMV fandom, canon and fanon literally have to coexist. It's no fun otherwise.

It's a quiet evening.

Nightmare is in bed with his boys on his massive, XXL king-sized mattress. He's sitting against the headboard, a pile of pillows his only cushioning. In his hands, a book about flora and it's many uses.

Killer is comfortably draped across his lap and tendrils, lazily playing with the tip of one like it's some sort of fidget toy. His eyes are closed, but he isn't asleep just yet. He has a cat on his chest that hasn't stopped purring.

Dust is curled up a little ways off from them, using another tendril as a sort of weighted pillow. He's sleeping soundly, any kind of night terror being warded off by Nightmare's vigilance.

Horror and Cross are nestled together beside Nightmare, watching cooking videos on a tablet together - those cozy ones that have minimal talking and the calming aesthetic. They don't talk to each other during it, simply enjoying each other's touch and the sounds of carrots being cut.

All is well; The sounds of gentle dish clattering, soft kitten purring, and light snoring combining into a symphony of bliss and comfort.

Nightmare couldn't be any happier.

{Tw: Mention of s3lf harm, bad thoughts related to it}

<Its beyond the keep reading>

Killer couldn’t take it anymore. Every single day he is terrified of going into his stage 4. He tries to avoid triggers, takes time to himself, yet nothing soothes the fear of that happening. He didn’t want to hurt Color. He didn’t want to hurt Dust. He didn’t want to hurt anybody.

Killer sat in his room, the moonlight shining softly through his window, illuminating the darkness of the room. Killer couldn’t feel anything except a lingering feeling of fear and…guilt. Guilt for something that hasn’t happened, yet or not. He didn’t understand why it was happening. Why was this feeling happening even if he hadn’t done those things?

No matter how many times he confronted himself, told himself the truth, it wouldn’t stop. It told him that he deserved harm, he deserved Nightmare’s cruel treatment, he should cause his own downfall if nobody else would do it for him. Eventually, he caved.

His hands shook and his breath grew heavy, his eyes focusing on the ground while his thoughts began to overwhelm him. He made a promise to Color, he couldn’t allow himself to fall into this again. Yet the urge to was overwhelming.

Before he could, a familiar touch pressed against his shoulder. Killer looked up in confusion, originally going to react with aggressiveness. But he immediately softened when he saw Color. Color looked at him with a sympathetic gaze, worry in his eyes and a soft frown on his face. Color’s hand slowly traced down Killer’s arm with gentleness and care, clasping his hand with Killer’s.

“killer, hey, look at me, please.”

Color muttered softly to him, a soft plead in his voice, trying to get his dear friend to look at him. Killer, although hesitant, slowly shifted his gaze from the ground to Color. His hand slowly but surely began to grip back on Color’s, remaining completely silent. Color gently smiled at him, slowly rubbing Killer’s palm with his thumb.

“look, see? i’m here, you aren’t alone. you don’t have to talk if you don’t want to, but let me be here with you.”

Color whispered, proud of Killer for pushing through. Killer was shaking. He thought he didn’t deserve this comfort, he didn’t deserve this love. Killer began to shake, his body quaking. Color quickly noticed this, slowly raising one of his arms.

“it’s alright, i got you, pal. you want a hug?”

Color offered. Killer slowly inched his body towards Color, eventually and slowly placing his body on Color’s, placing his body in an embracing position. Color nodded, beginning to gentle caress his skull. Killer felt so…loved. The feeling of Color’s arms around him, the soft scent of Color’s jacket, the rainbow reflecting on his cheek, it felt good knowing someone else was there.

Killer clung onto Color tightly, his eyes slowly tracing up his chest to Color’s face. Color smiled softly at him, the sympathetic smile and kindness in his eyes shining brightly under the moonlight. Color soon leaned back, laying down on the bed, allowing Killer to come cuddle. Killer laid on top of Color, resting his head on his chest and closing his eyes. Finally, the thoughts shut up. It was peaceful, the crickets, the hums from Color, everything was in place.

*Killer sighed softly, speaking up after a second.*

“Thank you…”

*Color smiled, slowly placing a blanket over the two and hugging Killer gently, before speaking back, his voice a whisper.*

“of course.”

color spending quality time with his dad 💗 and killer is also there ig.

Color belongs to superyoumna

I think color would despise going back to the void cause it just reminds him of all the times he went batshit crazy in there. But ofc he has to visit his dad 💗💗

speaking of, I think in color’s past when he was a scientist n stuff, Gaster used to pay a lot of attention to sans and papyrus when they were his main focus, his main experiments, but then he shifted his focus to undyne when he apparently failed with sans. so he was neglectful to the both of them, and sans had to take care of papyrus obviously, until Gaster disappeared.

when color was dropped into the void, he was happy to see Gaster but also angry at him and confused and frustrated. he canonically attempted to get out of the void in a certain manner that almost killed him, and Gaster was “left to pick up the pieces.” I think after that, they became a little less tense with each other in mutual understanding of being trapped in a place with no exit. with the many years color spent in there, they eventually kind of patched things up and acted as family again, as it was kind of inevitable with that close proximity.

Anyway color visits him weekly because he still yearns for that fatherly love .. I think he was hesitant at first to bring Killer along because he wasn’t sure how he’d act towards a Gaster AU. I personally think killer doesn’t remember anything about his Gaster, much like how the rest of the canon undertale universe forgot about him. He also had many other things to worry about and Gaster was NOT his main concern 😭😭

Maybe he just stares at Gaster and gets some sort of nostalgia, but he doesn’t know where it comes from, and he doesn’t like how it feels so he tries to ignore it.

But ya I am very tired I eep ya 💔🙁💔😔😔🙁🙁
