#dust tourette's sans

[didderd]

a rare sighting of Pop without his jacket and scarf on

[yellow-computer-mouse]

I'm gonna throw them out there i wasn't sure if they'd be a hit ok

Nightmare is autistic and has a really intense flat affect so everyone thinks he's emotionless or some shit when he legit just does not show emotion very well (same thing with Dust but less intense)

Dust, Dream, and Blue are all auDHD

Dust's special interests are birds and music (and Portal) and they're almost entirely nonverbal bc they don't like talking and they have a speech impediment bc of autism

Killer, Cross, Horror, and Ink all are ADHDers (Ink is canon but yk)

Cross! has tourettes! and he's really ashamed bc Xgaster always wanted perfection and it's not perfection (not saying there's anything wrong with tourettes for clarification)

Building off of that, he'll cuss a lot after his tics and everyone thinks it's part of the tic but he actually just gets pissed off and starts swearing unrelated

projection but Nightmare has grapheme synesthesia! and mentions it to the others and they comment on it and he's like "wtf what do you mean 17 isn't green tf?????"

Red is autistic and has really bad social anxiety! And he thinks he masks rlly well and he has no clue he's not neurotypical but then he goes out into the multiverse and everyone's like "dude go get an autism assessment"

teeeheehee this was fun!

im currently in massive amounts of pain so now im projecting onto Nightmare:

disabled Nightmare. put him in a wheelchair, crutches, whatever

cause like in Dreamtale when the apple incident happened the tentacles like ripped themselves out of his back. he has to have some type of chronic back pain

like the first 500 years or so, he was fine, but then his henchmen(killer) were like “no fuck that ur in pain” and its just the gradual progression of cane to crutches to a wheelchair

and Nm (though he knows that it helps and he likes that theres less pain) ngl kinda hates using his mobility aids, because he doesn’t want to seem weak.

or for those who enjoy Nightmare being in his passive form, just make him unable to walk. like the tentacles kept his spine form completely getting destroyed, but without them Nm is wheelchair bound cause the magic flowing to his legs is all fucked up

I’m going to be a bit controversial on the UT/AU community for a second, but…

We don’t need all these neurodivergent sanses..

I’m not saying you can’t give them mental illnesses or whatever, that’s all fine and dandy, however, it’s a problem when the sans’ entire personality is surrounding their mental illness..

Examples include: ADHD Sans, Tourette Sans, Dyslexic Sans, Autism Sans, etc.

These. These just seem very gross to just center around an entire person based off of a mental illness. If you want to make your sans neurodivergent, at least give them a personality.

Ink Sans is commonly headcanoned as autistic, though I’m not certain if that’s canon, it’s better than making Autistic Sans, who just only has autism as their personality. Same goes for Dust and Asylum Sans. Both are headcanoned to be schizophrenic (canon maybe, but I’m also not too sure), which doesn’t take over their personality.

At this point, I won’t explain further about what sanses are pretty cringe and which ones aren’t.

People may have their own personal reasons for making them and I’m not judging if that’s the case, but a lot of them that I’ve seen had the caption of:

“I hope no one has done this!” or “I’m glad no one got to this before I did!”

It’s just… really.. really bad..

Again, I don’t want to bring anyone down and force them to get rid of the characters, that’s not my intention. But, please, you have the ability to make them more then just their mental illnesses. Give them hobbies, likes and dislikes, dreams and aspirations! It’s going to give them more pizzazz, trust me!

I did a bit of research on Tourette’s syndrome and the characters that came to mind were Blue, Ink or Dust.

I thought of Blue and Ink because Tourette’s syndrome is often associated with ADHD, and I’ve read several fics where either Ink or Blue have ADHD (though if that’s not the direction you want to go in, they’re still both perfectly viable options).

I thought of Dust maybe having a more stress related tic, I don’t really have any particular reason for choosing him, he’s just the first character that came to mind (he’s probably what I would choose but that’s completely up to you).

If your looking for a character with a verbal or anger related tic, then I’d probably go with Fell sans.

Sorry for the long ask :P

I see, I see. You bring up some good points and another person has also suggested Dust, and I’ll have to think about it more.

But thank you for your input! It was very helpful!

Pop (Dust Tourette's Sans)'s ref!

Specializes in aquatic monsters/areas in the studying of aus. (link to the masterpost/lore post for the Crispies.)

[didderd]

I've been waiting many months for this moment.

The Crispy Crew are done!!!

Info and stuff under the cut.

From left to right: Rice (nightmare Tourette's sans) Crack (horror Tourette's sans) Snaps (killer Tourette's sans) Pop (dust Tourette's sans) Marsh (cross Tourette's sans)

Ofc, the usual:

Draw them all you want, but please don't try and represent their Tourette's without some proper research on it.

Don't ship them with other sanses publicly. It would make me uncomfortable.

A teensy bit of lore:

Rice has been doing this since long before he ever met any of the others, but he dragged them all into it too. While their job is to keep balance in the multiverse, and keep Rice feed with negativity, they all share the hobby of studying and recording AUs. And since the war is over with Rice's brother, they have permission to study the AUs in his territory too, as long as they don't cause any problems. But they are surprisingly well-behaved when studying a place, and usually stay out of sight.

I would just like Pop to know that his jacket and hat are very cool, and that he is a short king.

👑🤏😎

💀

Dust: Thanks? I guess..

((don't mind him, he's just a tsundere.))

Bonus:

he caught me... o^o;

[didderd]

Happy Tourette's Awareness Month!!!

(I know the happy TAM is a bit late. sorry about that.)

This marks the start of the TAM event!

During the last of TAM (until June 15th) me/my sona and the Tourette's sanses will be answering questions! Ask us about Tourette's/Tic Disorder stuff and/or ourselves. Some questions will be answered with drawings, but not all of them.

If you wanna send an ask, but don't know what to ask about, do some research on Tourette's! Maybe watch some videos on YouTube. (support Tourette's creators during Tourette's month!) And come back, prepared with your new knowledge! :3

The characters available for asks: Alex (my monstersona) TTT: Tic (Tourette's sans) Tac (fell Tourette's sans) Tou (swap Tourette's sans) Crispy crew: Rice (nightmare Tourette's sans) Crack (horror Tourette's sans) Snaps (killer Tourette's sans) Pop (dust Tourette's sans) Marsh (cross Tourette's sans)

Rules:

Be respectful!

Don't ask anything shippy about two sanses!

That's about it. Thank you! And have fun! :3

Sona ref! :D

Details n lore rambles below:

They're 4'10, their pronouns are he/they/it, n ofc they do have Tourette's. :3

He is a shapeshifter, made of goop that can morph into any shape, but this is the form he takes a majority of the time.

He lives in Underfell's Waterfall, in a hidden cave.

(warning: possibly uncomfy topics. including mild stalking (? not quit?). and death to heat/cold in the last big paragraph.)

They've always stayed hidden out of fear of being dusted, and when they do go out, they stay camouflaged and close to the walls. So he's a big hermit and rarely interacts with people, but he does like to people watch (at least. when someone isn't killing another lmao), and it is usually the only reason he will leave his cave at all.

People sometimes hear random noises in Waterfall, and feel like they're being watched, but when they don't see anything, they usually just chock it up to them losing it. Sans (Red) however isn't so sure of that when he keeps getting that feeling, and hearing those sounds consistently in Waterfall, and Waterfall only, just about every time he's there.

Sans is it's favorite to watch, and it will even follow him around Waterfall. They don't do this in a creepy way (or at least they try not too lmao), it's more like how a very curious animal might follow someone from a safe distance. :3

They wish they could follow Sans outside of Waterfall, but really cold weather makes their body very stiff, and makes it hard to move and shapeshift. If they're in the freezing cold long enough, they will literally freeze solid and dust (they are also cold-blooded, so they can not warm themself up). On the other hand, really hot weather will have the opposite effect. They will start to melt, and it will become very hard to keep any form. If hot enough (like in Hotland, literally above lava), they can even start to boil, and will dust that way too.

Both of these can also put them in a vulnerable position, which can be extremely dangerous, living in Underfell.

(Okie okie, am done rambling now lmao.)

[didderd]

I can’t remember if you answered before but what’s the boys locations?? Like above or below ground? I think you mentioned the killer!Tourette’s sans having a boss. Nightmare?

yes, most of the boys are on the surface in their respective aus! :> (they usually visit each other through the omega timeline)

and also yes. Snaps lives in his boss's castle. with his boss, Rice (Tourette's Nightmare), and his friends co-workers, Crack (Tourette's Horror), and Pop (Tourette's Dust).

together they are the rice crispy treats gang :> (i have yet to design any of them other than Snaps)
