#gaster adores it

[copper-skulls]

ok i have also decided that upon getting un-voided razzmatazz Gaster and Grillby get a black cat (bcs they find the "black cats get adopted the least" statistic). his name is turing, he's big of heart and dumb of ass, has the creakiest meow in existence and gaster would die for him (if he had social media it'd be 100% cat videos and nothing else)

i will write this into a proper ficlet someday... hopefully... maybe.. probably

[tinybrainboy]

I think Gaster would be the kind of parent to teach to his kids at home And I think that Sans would be the kind of kid to ask a sandwich at 4 AM like that xD

I found this fascinating post about Russian short names a long time ago and NOW I CAN FINALLY DO SOMETHING WITH IT basically Russian names can take different forms depending on how close you are to who you’re talking to. Heavy’s name is Mikhail (we don’t know his last name), and this is how Spy refers to him in the comics, while Heavy’s short name is Misha, which is used by his family. But the name forms can get even fluffier or more tender than that! I asked some Russian speakers on Twitter for options and they gave me a wide variety, so I just threw a bunch in here. |D Other options could be Mishutka, Mishula...

I’d imagine anything fluffier than Misha would be embarrassing for him, but Heavy appreciates the effort anyway. <3

My Mafiafell Headcannons

In general

-Many people and monsters ask you how you managed to ‘tame’ the mighty skeleton mafia, and you just shrug

-You don’t know how to handle a gun, but will gladly clock someone on the head if they dare insult your sweet skeleton bbys

-Monsters can go into heat, but can take certain medicines to dull the effects of heat

-None of the skeletons can swim

-You have no idea how you got into this situation, but you aren’t complaining

-You love sitting inside their ribcages on their laps and reading

-You know how to deal with perverts (pepper spray and a swift high-heel to the nuts)

-

Sans

-If someone tries flirting with you he’ll start by giving them a sharp glare. If they don’t get the hint he’ll kill them without hesitation, but not before covering your eyes

-He loves the face you make when he squishes your cheeks and he does it all the time

-When you laugh, he will either go still as a statue and revel in your beautiful voice, or do whatever he can to make you laugh again

-He likes head scratches

-He lets himself be vulnerable around you

-If you flirt with him, he will flirt back and mix in a lot of innuendos

-When you’re in public, he likes to keep you hugged to his side

-You two often have pun battles

-You gently bonk your foreheads together as a gesture of affection

Papyrus

-He has taken up a habit of resting his hand on the top of your head whenever you and he are standing next to each other

-He is fussy about the taking the heat medicine and you will end up pregnant because of it

-He will do whatever you ask while you are pregnant as an apology

-He will be the best father he possibly can

-He likes doing your hair, and has gotten very good at it

-He will sometimes just sit and hold your hand and gently stroke it with his thumb and look into your eyes lovingly

-When you bring food out to stray animals Papyrus often comes with you so he can pet them

-You gave him a kitten for his birthday and he was ecstatic

Gaster

-If he has a bad day he will sit down on the couch and lift you into his lap. He will then hug you and nestle his face in your hair and you aren’t getting away until he says you so

-If you are having short person troubles, he likes to show off by picking you up effortlessly to help you reach whatever you were trying to get

-He sometimes does the cliché villain thing, and will swivel around slowly in his chair, chuckling and holding you on his lap while stroking your hair

-He only lets himself actually laugh or smile when he’s around you

-He will sometimes stare at you quietly and poke your cheek and smile when you confront him

-You are the only person he cares about outside of his family

-He is strong enough to let you sit on his arm like a parrot

-You drag him into doing a lot of things like cooking, volunteering, and going to church and he secretly loves it

Let me know if you want more of these, or have a special request or question for me!

so this video (it's pretty good, worth a watch) basically saved me having to clean up the big word salad post I was drafting but I'm gonna reiterate a few points -

firstly, this isn't mentioned in the video but I think it's so, so important: unlike the valentine author, Gaster has never, ever used a single contraction. Toriel is another character who never uses them, no matter how casual the context. for something like this to suddenly change for no reason makes no sense. Toby is meticulous. I genuinely believe this is a HUGE strike against it being Gaster, yet almost no one mentions it. next, the valentine author speaks as if they don't know us: "you seem reliable", "you are very odd". and as we know, Gaster's well acquainted with us by now, so it'd make no sense for him to speak to us this way. (but what it does lend credence to is this being a character we either haven't met before, or haven't extensively interacted with.) additionally, in all instances so far, Gaster's been keen, focused, sharp. why would he suddenly be so addled and confused? the author saying they forgot who they're supposed to help, and it possibly even being themself, doesn't point to Gaster either - in fact, just the opposite - because the idea of him being forgotten is pure fanon. the game explicitly states that Asgore took so long to hire a new royal scientist because Dr. Gaster's brilliance was irreplaceable. how would the king know that if he didn't remember? fictional characters, by their very nature, are presented to us in a deliberate and finite way; our interactions with them have specific purpose. this means that when we try to hold them to real-world standards like "I, a real live person, write differently depending on the occasion", it won't always hold up. we have to go by what precedents have already been set by the creator, in the context in which these characters exist. on occasions when characters in UT/DR have spoken in a different way than usual, the fundamental, anchoring traits of their speech still remain intact (see: contractions), which would not be the case if Gaster were the valentine author.

(and of course, this doesn't even touch on the Japanese translation highlighting how wildly different the speech styles are, which I personally put more stock in than they do in the video.) the last 3rd of the video is more opinion/headcanon-oriented but he makes his point well. even if you disagree with his perception of Gaster (I do to an extent), it's true that there's already no shortage of whimsical, silly, lighthearted characters in UT/DR, and surely, if Gaster were meant to be one of them, Toby wouldn't reveal it in a way that's so out of left field. I love silly goofy wingding man as much as the next guy, but I also agree that attributing this personality to him out of nowhere, when it's incongruent with everything we've seen so far, would only serve to undermine his character and the uniqueness of it. none of this is to knock anyone whose opinion differs from mine! I'm just laying my thoughts out, for whatever that's worth. I've seen an unfortunate tendency in the community to lump the valentine in with the tweets and gonermaker text as all being on the same level of "obviously Gaster", and then tout it as proof that their headcanons are real. (we all have our headcanons! just don't be a dick about it eh?) at the end of the day, personally, I try to absorb and cling to as much canon evidence as possible, scant though it may be. because what I really really want, is to know who Gaster is. in the truest sense, as he is intended to be by his creator.

(but isn't it wonderful how much we all love this character, no matter how differently we may see him? I mean ultimately if we're not having fun here, then what's the point, right?)

but yeah, give the vid a watch! it goes into more detail and makes more compelling points than my sleepless brain can atm. :p

xgaster by jakei

[officialasgore]

to ooc i feel like asgore would notice gaster singing poorly and start to sing whatever he is with him while drinking more and more shots until bth of them are singing awfully but they don't care and night after night of drinking makes gaster gradually improve bc asgores really good at it until they are both obsessed with each others voices and when they sing they think of nothing but the other

idk just a thought i had reading your tags and too scared to reblog with my thoughts sorry I'll leave now

hi . this has me exploding thank you

Grillby picks his barber very carefully, fire maintenance wasn’t in everyone’s skillset after all. He doesn’t come in often, but he’s certainly known by a shop run by all skeletons and when a chance encounter gets him to actually schedule his next visit instead of waving it off, he shouldn’t be surprised at all by the match-making efforts the other barbers do. But all that sort of high thinking drops out of his mind pretty quickly upon meeting the painted skeleton again who had caught his eye the last time.
