Joking summary of this one bit of Foundling at the Door:

Clark: Phew, finally got Kon and Tim to go get a couple of hours of sleep down in the dorms. Man, they act like I'm going to just lose her the second they're out of the room or something!

Elle: *wakes up from her coma the second Tim & Kon walk out the door*

Elle: *makes direct eye contact with Clark*

Elle:

Clark: well

Clark: fuck

I am OBSESSED with Noggin Algernon rn and I WILL ramble about him you can't stop me

I can't believe we actually got to see a gremlin try and be good in episode 3, and even succeed at it for a bit before Boss Chang's goons ultimately messed that up. I think if everyone had been respectful, Algernon would definitely have continued down the path of being good natured.

Like, this is the first time we've seen a gremlin feel bad about hurting someone and it's making me go crazy because it shows that they can be reformed if given the chance. Also, while he was working for Boss Chang, Algernon didn't want to spawn more of his kind and was afraid of getting wet which is insane because we've only seen Gizmo react that way up until this point:

That's like, a gremlins whole thing is attacking everyone and spawning more of their kind, and Algernon was ok with going against his nature for a little bit. I'm so proud of him. 🥺

Granted, Algernon is either a reference, a direct descendant of, or a past reincarnation of Brain (the most civilized and mild mannered one), so out of all the gremlins we've seen, it's safe to assume that he'd be the easiest to turn good. However, he's still prone to violent outbursts, so I was convinced he would kill Boss Chang like his son was speculating just so he could be the new boss of Chinatown. But I was shocked when Boss Chang willingly handed over the role to him. Algernon was emotional when he was dying, and touched that he would give him the role.

It was nice seeing a gremlin show emotion for once. I don't think he had any intentions of being violent or chaotic here, he clearly respected Boss Chang and listened to his advice. It was only when his goons tried to kill Algernon that he went "well screw this, I guess humans are horrible after all" which is understandable. I imagine if you're trying to teach a gremlin how to be good, you have to be very careful with what you say and do, otherwise they'll just revert back to their evil instincts all over again. It's a shame Boss Chang wasn't around him for longer, I think Algernon could have benefited from his good influence.

I'm super curious if later in the series, the main characters will come across a gremlin and discover this. I could definitely see Sam and Elle teaching a gremlin like Algernon how to be good natured and succeeding at it. They might even figure this out sometime in season 2 with Gizmo turning evil and all. What if Gizmo actually does turn into a gremlin for a split second? But because Sam and Elle are such good friends with him, through The Power of Friendship™ they figure out you can teach a gremlin to be good natured if you just give them the chance.

Danny bombarded with complaints and grievances

Danny: I can do one of two things. I can rule the entirety of the Infinity Realms, or I can control Ellie Wraith. I cannot possibly do both

(he's lying he just chooses to do the easier job)

Dante: George Gipe, who wrote that, never got to see the movie. He made up a whole background — a complicated one — for the creatures. In my mind, they came from China, and were the results of the mating of a dragon and a panda.

Elle: And definitely don't think about turning yourself into a cockroach! Riley Greene: Shut it! Elle: Said the cockroach. Sam: The poor, magicless cockroach. Riley Greene: YOU'RE the cockroach! J-just stop saying cockroach!

[skipperauroras]

Theories and possible crossover au ideas: Elle from Gremlins: Secret of The Mogwai, is Jack Spicer's Grandmother. I know it says that Elle is a French thief on the Wiki, but I think she is French-Chinese because it was said her parents died during the moon festival due to unknown causes, meaning they traveled there to partake in it, so Elle's Mom or Dad might be Chinese. I think Elle might have met a guy later in life who could be Jack's Grandfather (Not Sam, I think she and Sam are just friends) and his Grandfather who carried the Spicer's last name. Elle moved on from thief work and found a high-paying job that got her out of being homeless, but Elle still has a klepto habit from her childhood. But since Elle became wealthy in her adulthood, that is why Jack comes from a wealthy family that has a mansion. Both Elle and her son who is Jack's dad were hard workers and worked the same job but I'm not sure what job that is yet, haven't quite figured out an idea. The other theory includes ancestors, Elle, Jack's Dad, and Jack could all be descendants of Wuya, due to Jack's dad discovering Wuya's puzzle box and giving it to Jack and maybe that's why Nuwa instantly felt like she couldn't trust Elle because I know that Nuwa didn't know she was a thief when she met her, but Nuwa instantly didn't trust her, maybe Nuwa knew she was a descendant of Wuya. Elle custom-sewed Jack's Trench Coat herself, she liked to encourage her grandson's hobbies, as said by Jack that his Grandmother made it for him in an episode. Elle is close to her Grandson Jack and tells him many tales of Chinese Myths, This is how he gained knowledge of stuff in Chinese folklore, Jack seemed to hyper-fixate on specific tales, like he learned about Chase Young from her, and Jack had a fondness for monkeys due to loving the tale about Sun Wu Kong. Elle told him about the Mogwai, Nuwa, and her adventures with Sam as well. But Jack just assumed the Mogwai were just a lesson fairy tale, Jack didn't really think they were real. Jack does remember hating Riley Green in the tale though, for being such a jerk to his Grandma Elle and her friend Sam. Jack did believe Nuwa existed though, but he wasn't really sure if his Grandma really met Nuwa or if she was just trying to make the story more imaginative. Sometimes though he thinks back to this story now that he learned about shen gon wu, it comes to his head, *What if?... No Gremlins can't be real? can they?* But he doesn't think of it much. Anyway, this is just me making crazy theories.

Danny’s reaction 👀

🤍🖤💚💙💚🖤🤍

Chapter 20

Dan shot awake at the in-eldrich screech that rang through the Keep. It took him a second to realise it had come from his brother’s room. Without thought he teleported to just outside the door to the royal chambers. Banging on the door called out. “Danny let me in before I bust the door down!”

“NO!” Dan cringed at the near sonic denial. If it hadn’t been for the protection charm around the room, he would have teleported in already.

“What do you mean no?” He banged on the door a second time. “You don’t get to sleep for two days and then wake the whole damned Realms with a sound that scared every creature that heard it!”

“No!” Dan’s brow twitched. The brat was obviously not in any danger or they would have had a more strained commanding tone. No, this was an eldritch chicken being strangled while a banshee cackled in the background. Not a pleasant sound for so early in the morning.

“Danny, I swear to Clock Work, If you don’t let me in and tell me what in the ever living fuck is going on… I’m finding a way to bust this door open!” Not a second later a screeching pigeon responded, just as loud as the initial sound that woke up the Realms.

“I’m ok! Don’t come in!” Dan snarled, despite the sound there was a clear command in Danny’s voice and he could do nothing but sit down against the wall and wait for his, royal pain in the ass, brother to calmed down enough to let everyone know what’s going on. Elle was quick to join him and they spent the time playing games and shooing away the curious ghosts, who came by to find out what had made such a disturbance.

*****

Danny woke up feeling both well rested and tired, which was strange, it was a different tired than the one they had fallen asleep with. Stretching out their long body, scales sliding over each other as they slid off their bed, jaw unhinging slightly with a wide yawn.

Something caught their attention, it sounded like glass chiming when lightly knocked together, and their hazy gaze drifted to their bed. ‘Huh? Why is their a nest on my bed?’ Forcing their eyes to open fully, they crawled over to the bed, looking over the tiny glass balls that were scattered across their stupidly large bed. Taking note of how their pillows and blankets had been arranged around the centre of the bed, leaving enough space around the perimeter to coil around it and sleep comfortably. ‘It really looks like a nest…” 

Shrinking down to their usual size, they stood up and climbed back onto the bed, gently picking up one of the glass balls, they felt their core purr in satisfaction, affection and a deep instinctual need to protect them. Closing their eyes, they had the brief hope they weren’t what they thought they were but new deep down that hope would die soon. 

They took a deep unneeded breathe and inspected the glass marble, it was the size of their palm, made of something that resembled glass and their ice with the same blue-green sheen and if they looked closer they could just make out a tiny dot. If all that didn’t confirm their suspicion, then the barely there gentle thrumming of a developing core left absolutely no space for doubt. The thrumming was coming from all of them and they knew, felt, they were resonating with their own core. 

Gently placing the one they held back with the others, they backed away. Blinking away the last of their sleep, as the realisation that there was no-one else in the room the eggs could belong to dawned on them, their body finally caught up with their brains reaction and they cried out in shock.

Not long after there was banging at their door, they were not ready to explain! They didn’t even know how to explain to themself!  Glancing back at the bed as their core demanded to keep the, eggs… in sight, while also wanting to quiet the worry and annoyance they could feel from the other side. They weren’t really listening to the voice outside the door but could figure out the gist of Dan’s demands and replied with the first thing they could force out. They began pacing at the side of the bed, core comforted by the proximity but at the same time their brain was freaking out.

Eventually the noise outside the door quieted, they were vaguely aware of the fact that they’d slipped a command in their panic and made a note to apologise later. Now… they had a freak out session. 

“How is this possible? I’m physically male right? I don’t care either way but biology doesn’t work like this!” They continued to mutter to themself as they sat against the bed. “The last person I was with was years ago! We were both careful and Sam’s biologically female!”

Getting up they went to check over the… Their eggs, core purring the whole time. Danny marvel at how smooth and small they were, they resemble fish eggs and they wondered if it was because of their mer ancestry. Gently running their finger over the glass like shells, they could feel the little cores slight vibrations as they resonated with their own. With a soft smile on their face they retreated from the bed, core satisfied with their wellbeing for now.

The further they got the more their brain returned to their previous thoughts. “How? Just how?”

They didn’t know how long they spent panicking and fussing over the eggs, their eggs, but it must have been awhile.

“Oh Ancients! How am I going to tell Elle? Scratch that. How am I going to tell Dan? How am I going to raise them all?!” Their thoughts continued to flipflop between freaking out and marvelling at the fact they were going to have more kids. 

“Kids. At eighteen. Hahahah. I have Elle, it can’t be that different right? Right? Who am I kidding, Elle’s a trouble maker, now I’m going to have to raise…” They spent a good while counting them after that thought, carefully moving them across the bed as they counted each one. “Six Hundred and Eighty-Two… six hundred and eighty-two… Hahahahaha!”

“Danny? You good in there?” Dan’s voice cut through their hysterical laughter, Danny took a moment to centre themself before answering.

“Everything’s fine, great, super, nothing to worry about here!” They ignored the squeak in their voice.

“Daddy, are you sure, are you hiding a ghost hyena?! Daddy I want a ghost hyena, that’s not fair, pease can you share it!” Elle’s voice drifted through their haze and another, near deranged, giggle slipped from their lips.

“No, no hyena here! Just me and… um… yeah, just me!” Looking around the room, they spotted a chest that had originally held all their spare pillows and blankets and quickly grabbed it and set it next to the bed. Lining it with two thick blankets with pillows between them and the walls, Danny carefully begat to set the eggs neatly into it, hoping all of the eggs would fit and they’d be able to close the lid. “I-I’ll be out soon!”

Once they were satisfied that they wouldn’t be jostled around, Danny set a pillow on top of them before slowly and carefully closing the lid and making sure it was latched securely. Increasing their size, slightly, so they could clutch the chest close comfortably and settle their core. It was not happy with taking the eggs out of their secure space, Danny could feel the roiling grumble deep in their chest. ‘I  need to see Frostbite, he would know what was going on.” Their core went back to a displeased hum.“Taking them with is better than leaving them.”

With that, they sped past Dan and Elle, ignoring their shouts and questions. Making a beeline for the for the Far Frozen.

*****

Dan and Elle looked at each other and then back at, a clearly panicking, Danny as they shot through the Ghost Zone. With a nod the gave chase.

🤍🖤💚💙💚🖤🤍

Chapter 19

Danny fell silent after their recount of everything they had gone through, from when they died, all the to how they became king. They had shared bits and pieces with Dan and compared their live up till the Nasty Burger incident and how Danny’s was different after Dan was sealed away but it had never been in such detail or in one whole sitting. It felt like a weight, they didn’t know they had, had been lifted off their shoulders.

They had a brother, a blood related older sister who understands the feeling of being thrust into a hero role and a brother-in-law had also experienced finding out he was an entirely different race than they had been raised as. Not to mention their niece and now, officially, their daughter.

They had a family, people who understood in ways their friends and Jazz had never been able to do. They new their true heritage, even if half was still missing. They felt more whole than they’d ever felt, even before the accident. All the little odd behaviours they’d has a a child, that the Fentons had basically trained them out of doing, that they were told was wrong. They finally knew why and that they had in fact been normal behaviours for a mer-child.

Looking over to where Rukia and Elle were playing… they were relieved and happy that Elle would be able to embrace all of her instinct from the start. They still found themself holding back or suppressing some instincts, even around others of their kind. Years of being told, trained, to act human were hard to shake off.

****

Clock Work had come to inform them that the claiming ceremony was ready and the family of siblings and nieces made their way to the private room. The ceremony was short and sweet. An exchange of ectoplasm and a sworn oath of familial bond. 

They had all been surprised, excluding Clock Work who was acting as the main witness, when Elle was engulfed in a bright light. Once it had faded they were met with a human looking Elle as a three year old.

Clock Work was quick to explain that the ceremony had corrected the unnatural age progression that Vlad had put her through in the pod, as well as the error in her make up that had made her susceptible to destabilisation, even with the Ecto dejecto. She was now a true Halfa. Her memory was still intact but she would now act more her true age.

Danny had scooped Elle up and held her close, they had always had the fear, that she would one day disintegrate and they would not be able to help her. This was one less fear they had to worry about. She was safe and healthy and she will never destabilise again.

****

Dan sighed as he slumped back into his chair. Dan had a strange mix of emotions, he wanted to go after Vlad for what he had done but he was happy to have another niece, there was also the jumbled thought on if Elle could be counted as his as well or if, despite being the same person, their genetics were different.

It was something to look into, for curiosities sake, for all they knew they could actually be brothers… their mother could travel dimensions for fucks sake, it was in the realm of possibility. Did Clock Work know? Who was he kidding, they probably did. Continuing that thought he wondered if they had the same father? Was a different time period also considered a different universe? It that was the case, how did he end up the same in the same environment, with the same people? He new of other Earths, thanks to his time with the JL. They had made no progress in finding their father… 

Maybe it was time they asked Clock Work directly. He didn’t have much hope in finding him nor that he would be happy to learn about them, to be honest, unless Clock Work hinted or told them where to look. Considering time, would their father even be alive now? They didn’t have a time frame or any indication of what time period or universe he was from. He didn’t particularly care either way but Danny…He would keep looking for his brother’s sake.

His intrusive thoughts were interrupted by a pat to his leg, looking down he came face-to-face with his youngest niece.

“Hi!” The smile on the three year olds face made him wary. It was to much like Danny’s, when they were up to something, to not be suspicious. Dan knew for a fact he did not smile like that when planning something. Danny had told him many times he had more of a smirk, Danny, and therefore Elle, had a smile that radiated to much innocence that anyone who was not familiar with the little gremlin would never suspect the chaos they had, were causing or will cause in the future.

“Hi… can I help you?” He continued to watch for any hint of what she was up to, as her eyes widened and her smile brightened, his senses prickled further. Danny had caught him off guard, more times than he’d like to admit, with that look. Were her eyes sparkling…?

“Can I call you Uncle Udon too?” Dan stared before slumping further into his chair, in resignation. ‘I’m never going to shake this nickname now.’ His siblings’ laughter and his older niece’s giggles just further cemented the thought.

****

Their older sister and her family stayed with them for a week after the coronation and Dan had informed the JL that both he and Phantom would be off world for the week and had Katana checking in with Japan during the week while Superman had offered to do a few flybys during his free time. Their claimed haunt was relatively problem free but they did suffer natural disasters at certain times of the year. Though they were quick to boot anyone who planned to cause trouble, before it could truly begin.

It had been nice, all the heavy stuff had been felt with on the first day and that left the rest of the week to relax and bond as a family. Rukia and Elle had become fast friends and they Danny, Lucia and Kaito got to know each other more and they had learned more about their Mother and the world their sister lived in. Sharing stories of being teen heroes in worlds that had no other heroes to guid them. Danny was happy.

Once their sister and her family had gone home, Danny and Dan had returned to Japan and their home town, Elle in tow. To say the town was overjoyed was an understatement, they had shown a festival in honour of Yuurei and the the fact that they would continue to prosper for many generations in the future. Elle had had a blast as she played with the town children and are to her hearts content. She loved the fact that she now had a place to, permanently, call home. That night they slept at the Shiro as the festival continued for three days.

****

Things had settled down, after three weeks, and Danny was only now ready to face the box of their mother remains. It was common for some ghosts to have keepsakes of family members, even the mere kept blood pearls, either to remember or as gifts of protection or  proof of bonds. The thing was, usually, it was one or two pieces. A tooth, lock of hair, blood pearl or fur. Not every usable piece, like the Hunters had kept. Now faced with the box full of fins and scales… They didn’t know what to do. Deciding that they could figure it out later, they started organising them, trying not to think about where they had come from. Ells was taking a nap and Dan had come in at some point to help them. They were thankful for the quiet support.

****

Danny was exhausted. It didn’t happen often anymore, due to the power boost being King of The Infinite Realms gave them, but it had been a long two weeks. There had been an intergalactic war that was getting to close to their planetary orbit and almost everyone had gone to investigate and help, in any way they could, to resolve the problem peacefully. Everything had been going well but one side had decided that they still wanted the other planets resources. The JL were then fully dragged into the war. They were finally able to resolve thing with minimal casualties but it had taken its toll on everyone their.

Dan had stayed back so Earth wasn’t left unprotected while most of the heavy hitters were off planet. He had also kept an eye on Elle. Once Danny had returned home, despite their fatigue and heavy body, they had spent some much needed time with Elle. All three of them had gone to the hot spring and messed around as Danny unwound the tension they had built up over the  weeks they had away.

It had been their first large scale fight, they had been involved with, Dan was usually the one to go on these kind of missions but this one had been in space. In Space! Sure they could go anytime they wanted but they also had a pull at their protection obsession. So two vultures one stone.

It didn’t hurt that their partner for this particular mission was Red Robin. They had gotten to know the other hero on a more personal level, though that is rather subjective, they were friends now. Besides, war didn’t allow for deep discussion, as much as movies portray at least. They mainly worked on information gathering, hacking alien tech and espionage, in some cases, in their quest for information. For the first week at least. The second week was filled with fighting and making sure their teammates did join their domain so soon.

Danny sighed as they slipped further into the hot water. They were so relaxed that they didn’t notice a certain three year old sneak up on them.

“Daddy? When can I get a sybling?” To say Danny nearly drowned would be false but they did sink into the water and flounder around in surprised embarrassment, before coming up and sputtering. Dan was laughing in the background.

“Not unless someone manages to clone me! Again!” They cried out in a rush before mumbling. “Or someone actually agrees to marry me.” 

****

Danny collapsed onto their bed at Phantom’s keep. The rush of Ectoplasm would help them get back to normal quicker. They snuggled into their pillow and their thoughts drifted to Elle’s question and immediately blushed when Red Robin crossed their mind. Forcing their mind to be quiet, they slipped into sleep. Their dreams were hazy and fragmented and their consciousness remains out of reach for almost to days. Unaware of their sleepy actions.

@tmntaucompetition

[popatochisssp]

hiya poppy! i dunno if this is a silly ask but I’m a bit curious… do any of your unique boys have weird condiment obsessions or comfort foods?? tale sans has ketchup, swap paps has honey and so on, i assume that the rest of hoodie gang (what i loosely refer to the lazy brother role as) has the same weird habits. mostly curious about ash, brick, ell, nemo, sunny!

(Anon, I know you did not initially send this on anon, and you included an Art with it that I enjoyed very much, which is why I was so very upset to somehow lose this ask??? Luckily, tumblr cannot eat my emails so I still had the text saved and can at least answer the question, but if you wanted to re-add your art to this post, I would like that very much 😭)

I did do a favorite condiments/toppings post ages ago, when I only had ten of these losers, so it might be about time to update it!

Sans (Undertale): Yeah, it’s ketchup, he likes it on anything and everything, and he will drink it straight ‘cause he’s a terrible gremlin man. He started doing it as a joke to freak people out but it grew on him and, uh… well, now, he just likes it. This is his life and he has no shame.

Papyrus (Undertale): Nothing so uncouth as his brother, ugh! …But… on occasion…very rare occasion, mind you! He…has been known to sneak a spoonful of peanut butter straight out of the jar… Just the one, though, he never double-dips! He’s not disgusting!

Sky (Underswap Sans): As far as condiments go, he likes relish! He won’t eat it straight, if anyone’s looking, but who doesn’t like a hearty helping of it plopped onto a hot dog? Or a hot cat, he’s not picky! Spicy or sour is equally fine, just not the biggest fan of sweet.

Paps (Underswap Papyrus): Nothing new here, he likes honey a whole heck of a lot, though mostly just to sweeten his tea… or in a candy-bar, or drizzled on a pastry or something… Damn, he’s making himself hungry just thinking about it…

Jasper (Underfell Sans): Mustard, obviously, anything else on a ‘dog is the blatantly incorrect choice. Also pretty good on a sandwich, but you’re never gonna catch him guzzling it straight from the bottle. He never tried to pull that prank like his classic counterpart did, and never got accidentally hooked on his own condiment of choice. Ha!

Pyre (Underfell Papyrus): He’ll deny it to his dusting breath, but you cannot bring Nutella or any kind of chocolate spread into the house and expect it to still be there when you come back. He will eat it directly out of the jar, the whole thing, especially if he’s had a hard day or something. You’ll just never find the evidence. He’ll do it with ice cream, too, so y’know…keep an eye on your groceries.

Mal (Swapfell Sans): He likes spicy flavors so any kind of salsa or hot sauce is a favorite for him. His tolerance is damn good, so he can–and will–pull a Power Move and drink it straight if he feels the situation calls for it, but he generally just likes it on his food, like a normal person. Don’t test him, though, remember the freak that lies just beneath the surface…

Rus (Swapfell Papyrus): Can he pick literally everything sweet ever? No? Okay, then it’s probably maple syrup that he likes best, he’ll have it on waffles, in candy, or even to sweeten up some normally more savory foods like beans or ham or just about anything else you can think of. …Not that he, uh…really knows how to cook, himself… But he was a picky eater as a kid and syrup was easy to get in Snowdin, so it was usually used as a bribe to get him to eat A Thing He Didn’t Like and it’s a bit of a comfort-flavor for him now!

Slate (Horrortale Sans): For obvious reasons… he’s not picky. He’ll eat anything– burnt, flavorless, or even a little moldy, just drown it in ketchup and it’s good as gold. Like his classic counterpart, he’ll drink it straight, but surprisingly he’s also developed a bit of a fondness for mayo, mostly post-surfacing. It is not an unusual occurrence to find him just eating it straight, especially if he’s managed to get ahold of one of those squeeze-tubes that make it even easier. You might think he’s trying to pull a vanilla-pudding-in-the-mayo-jar prank but…alas, it’s real.

Papy (Horrortale Papyrus): He’s in the health field and knows in great detail why this is a thing he should probably not be doing but… You know those tubs of whipped topping…? Yeah, he’ll eat that with a spoon until the, “Oh My God, Why Am I Doing This” thoughts hit him and he shamefully puts it back. It would easily be one of the most mortifying moments of his life if you ever caught him at it, standing in front of the fridge in the dark at two in the morning like an oil-and-corn-syrup-loving cryptid.

Ash (Undergloom Sans): Worcestershire sauce is probably his top choice of condiment. His brother’s cooking has spoiled him a little bit, so plain old ketchup doesn’t quite cut it for him anymore. A lot of his favorite foods are hearty, heavy, meaty or all of the above, and Worcestershire can go on and in most of them! Now, will he drink it? No, probably not… but if there’s any on his plate that he can sop up with a bread roll and eat, he absolutely will be doing so.

Yrus (Undergloom Papyrus): No one can know. Whenever he buys those little jars of maraschino cherries, it’s for garnishing drinks or desserts or whatever else he might need them for, and when he cleans out the jars to reuse them for other things, there’s no reason to wonder what he’s done with the juice, probably dumped it, right? Well…no. He drinks it, straight from the jar, like some kind of fucked up, bookish skeleton hummingbird. Don’t judge him!!!

Brick (Horrorfell Sans): Whether he acknowledges it or not, he’s living a bit more of the high life these days than he used to, and with that tends to come some upgrades in the little things around you. In his case, that means he still prefers mustard over any condiment, but it’s Dijon mustard specifically that he tends to reach for—a bit fancier, more of a bite to it, and now the plain yellow stuff feels like a downgrade. He’ll eat whatever, he’s not picky, but y’know…if given the option…

King (Horrorfell Papyrus): He has no such vices…that he’ll admit to. But neither will he back down or show even a hint of shame if you catch him squirting a bottle of chocolate syrup straight into his shaker full of milk that you may have previously assumed was a protein or workout shake of some kind. As for whether or not he’ll drink the syrup straight… You’ll never catch him. Don’t even try.

Merc (Horrorswap Sans): Probably sweet-and-sour sauce for him, there’s a lot of different things to use it on and he likes the versatility of that. To the point that he’d drink it? Yes, sure, boldly so, in front of anyone, admittedly mostly as a bit for the reaction but hey, it’s tangy and delicious, no regrets!

Ell (Horrorswap Papyrus): His favorite topping to snack on is also a backfired prank. His brother is a baker and buys more new and unnecessary kinds of sprinkles than anyone could ever reasonably need, and he may’ve stolen a bottle or two to see how long it’d take him to notice. …And then maybe…grazed on them a little bit one time, when he was hungry and busy and didn’t want to get up. In his defense…they’re crunchy?

Pitch (Horrorswapfell Sans): He’s still all about the hot sauce, baby! Buffalo sauce in particular is probably the favorite, perfect for wings, but he’ll branch out if there are options—especially if they’re advertised as the hottest around, or put to him as a challenge. He’s a defiant thrill-seeker at heart, he all but has to drink it straight from the bottle if someone thinks so highly of it.

Nemo (Horrorswapfell Papyrus): He’s a caramel fiend. He pretty much always has been, in its candy form, but pretty much as soon as he started cooking for himself and realized how easy it was to just put a few things in a pan and have caramel sauce? It was over for him, he does it all the time now. It’s lucky if it actually makes it on top of anything because he’ll eat it by the spoonful almost straight out of the pan, but if he doesn’t, it’s still a perfectly good snack after it’s cooled a little. Not even store-bought jars last any longer in his house.

Sunny (Gastertale Sans): He loves a good steak sauce, obviously for steaks but on pretty much anything—burgers, sandwiches, jazzing up some veggies, what can’t it do? He’s not quite at the level of drinking it straight from the bottle, but it can seem close some days when he’s really slathering it on.

Aster (Gastertale Papyrus): Definitely some kind of weakness for tahini. It makes such a good dip, or spread, or partner with jam on toast to make a not-quite-pb&j, so even though he doesn’t usually find it on a menu, he tends to keep some around the house. Would he eat it all by itself? Has he? Well, what’s the fun in just telling? He has some kind of mystique to maintain, you know…

Spectr (Transcendtale Sans): Ketchup is super nostalgic for him, a very comforting flavor. He’ll totally drink it straight or eat it out of a packet just for the taste of it, even if he doesn’t have the hunger to actually eat it with something. He’s also gotten a bit more adventurous, though, and is a lot more open to trying different varieties of ketchup, and those trendy combos with other things—spicy ketchup, mayochup, thousand island—if it’s available, he’ll try it, and he’s slowly amassing a personal catalogue of favorites tried all across the globe.

PapAIrus (Transcendtale Papyrus): He doesn’t eat. He doesn’t need to and he’s not actually capable of it, so… It’s fine, he really doesn’t miss it or think about it much. …But whenever he gets around to having that back-up body made, probably the first thing he’d eat with it is a big jar of peanut butter, the crunchy kind.

Xanth (Ascendswap Sans): Having almost completely done away with any sense of shame and a large amount of awareness of social norms, he is no longer shy of straight-up eating relish. He is also not shy of going for maximum sour, vinegary flavor and will fully sip pickle juice out of the jar. He is living his truth and we are all so proud.

Piper (Ascendswap Papyrus): Did I call somebody else a hummingbird? I should’ve saved it for him, he’s graduated from honey to something a bit more concentrated—agave syrup. He follows the trends a little more attentively these days, gave it a try when he heard about it as a honey-substitute, and that was…kind of it. His sweet tooth is his weakness, and he doesn’t even mind paying a little more for the ethically sourced brands, he’s too hooked on that super-sweet sweetness for his tea and candy and pastries and whatever else he can find to drizzle it on.

Carmine (Underfell Fruition Sans): He’s a cool ranch guy, all the way. As a dip, it’s the perfect accompaniment to anything crunchy and he’ll freely load up his carrots and celery and chips with it. As a proper condiment, it’ll go on anything from pizza to burgs, and while he’s definitely taken a swig once, just to try it, he probably likes it better as supporting cast than the lead act.

Tank (Underfell Fruition Papyrus): He was ruined the first time a jar of marshmallow fluff came into his possession. He didn’t get much in the way of sweets growing up, so pure, soft, sticky sugar…? He has no defense against it. He’ll actually need to be told you can make things with it if you want to, because eating it with a spoon is all he knows and that’ll be a beautiful brave new world for him.

Vi (Swapfell Fruition Sans): He’s a barbecue sauce fan. His preference is for the smoky or spicy kind, but even the sweeter stuff has its charm and he hasn’t really eaten a kind he hasn’t somewhat liked. He won’t take a swig from a bottle, but if he ever comes across a brand he really likes, he may go out of his way to buy some to take home, and that's a huge compliment from him.

Hunter (Swapfell Fruition Papryus): Butterscotch is his thing, actually. He likes it as a topping in sauces and cocktails quite a bit, but if there happen to be any butterscotch chips around, that’s more to his preference. Be wary trying to get any baking with them done around him, he actually prefers them outside of the baked goods and he’s not above petty theft. In fact, he’s below it, far below it, a little quick yoinkery is the least of what he’ll do to get something he wants.

Kohl (Descendtale Sans): He’s a soy sauce kind of guy. It’s salty, savory, and strong, a little goes a long way even to overpower a flavor you’re sick of, but you have to eat because it’s nearly all there is… Yeah, he got a little hooked on it when monsters started eating the echo flower root, and it stuck around as a new favorite after. Would he drink it? Not unless it would be really funny, he has limited room in the tank these days and would prefer to use it for food he likes, not on a bit.

Bram (Descendtale Papyrus):  Nothing beats a nice crème anglaise drizzled over something sweet… Of course, he’s not much of a cook so mostly he just waits for vanilla ice cream to melt and that’s basically the same thing, right? Ice cream soup is delicious and also a perfectly valid topping for all manner of deliciousness, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!

And as for comfort foods…well that’s a whole other post to update! ;)
