Bedtime: Does your muse read their child to sleep? Are there any other bedtime routines they have? For Carol

That one Parent's Day ask meme from months ago. RIP.

Ooh hey, a rare Carol question! She has her own blog that's still under construction and intended to be a companion blog to this one, so I'm completely fine with answering questions about Carol on here. ^^

When Dess and Noelle were young and small enough to sleep in their parents' bed, Carol gave them belly and back rubs to soothe them to sleep. They were so tiny. It was hard for her to believe that such perfect little people came from her.

When the girls got old and brave enough to sleep in their own rooms -- and it was her turn to put them to bed -- the process of trial-and-error proved that Dess liked having lullabies sung to her and Noelle preferred praying with her mother before falling asleep.

headcanon that Carol, like Noelle (though rather Noelle, like Carol) is afraid of mice

Tell me a preconeption/headcanon you have for Carol and I’ll rate how accurate it is on a scale of 1 to 10

10

Not just mice, but vermin in general.

Tantrum: How does your muse deal with tantrums? In public?

That one Parent's Day ask meme posted a looong time ago. RIP.

Long ago, Rudy used to give into Dess's grocery store tantrums everytime----

Yeah, sure. I'm not complaining. Go for it!

Thanks for saving my breath (typing?)

YES. PLEASE.

📝 for canon/DR rudy! it's fun seeing all the little ways character interpretations change over time

Send ‘📝’ to hear something that used to be true about my muse, but has been changed

A super-recent retcon (yayy, found the word!) is that Rudy doesn't speak French. You can find him saying something in the language in a fairly recent RP if you want to take a gander... XD I decided to give the bilingualism to Carol instead. It fits her more, since I gave her the French maiden name, "Belle" for the "Carol of the Bells" wordplay. A funny way to offset her husband being Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. XD

Date: How often does your muse get a date?

Starting a Family Headcanon Asks!

Early in Rudy and Carol's parenthood, it was easier for them to make time in the evening after the kids were in bed for a simple stay-at-home couples' time.

As for full-blown date nights (the ones where they pull all the stops: get dressed up, have a nice evening out, la dee dah fancy stuff, etc.), it helps when you have besties next door who are also parents and can coordinate play-dates to benefit the kids' socialization... and maybe even some lovey-dovey time with each parent's respective spouses.

Regardless, the 3-way Venn diagram of 'Rudy's free time,' 'Carol's free time,' and 'play-date is at the Dreemurr household' is shaped like half an almond. They'd be really lucky if they can fit in a date night once every six months.

i’d be interested in seeing how rudy would handle finding noelle in her room crying over dess’ disappearance… how would he react and comfort her? (for the ask game)

Go into my inbox and tell me a situation you’d love to see Rudy go through.

Ohhhhh.... that's the angst I live for... my HEART...!!

I'd imagine Noelle wiping her tears away and hiding her wavering voice so her dad doesn't know how much she had been crying. Rudy would try to distract her with the game they've been playing together, at first. However, Noelle can't hold back how much she misses Dess, and just spirals to her sobbing, making Rudy tear up, too.

Rudy would feel a bit lost in comforting her, a painful reminding that he himself hasn't figured out how to comfort his own heart about it. But, he'll make a sincere attempt by talking about what he misses about Dess and encouraging Noelle to do the same. They'd share a genuine laugh at how bright her spirit is (was).

And Rudy admitting to Noelle that he and her mother miss Dess every. single. day since she left... even on days he looks like he's all smiles and Carol looks well put-together. He'd tell Noelle if there are days she wants to talk about it, or just be left alone to feel her feelings, she can tell him and he'll be there to support her, no matter what.

Rudy leaves the conversation with the realization that just "smiling and pulling through" (and, in Carol's case, burying herself in work) instead of confronting their grief head-on, is taking a toll on their daughter.

They must do something about it.

When they watch a film what do they choose and why? Who gets the final vote?

Ship Headcanon Meme

Hey Nonnie, you forgot to tell me a ship. ^^;;

[reindeer-dad]

🏷️Do they give their partners cute nicknames?

My Muse in a Relationship ?s

Yep!

I mean, "big guy" isn't cute at all, but I think "Gorey" is. Plus, it's canon. Got the idea from an RP partner that Rudy's pet name for Carol is "Care Bear," which is the cutest one of all, honestly.

[reindeer-dad]

(🚀 How far are they willing to go for the person they love?)

My Muse in a Relationship ?s

Rudy's not the hopeless romantic type who shouts about everything he'll do for his lover up and down the hills... but he is dedicated. He'll absolutely put his needs aside to support his partner in pursuing whatever they want.

You see it in Rudy's relationship with Carol; how he supported her run for mayor every step of the way -- leading her campaigns, running BBQs to spread the word, visiting door-to-door -- essentially helping with her "image problem."

It's also in his relationship with Undertale Asgore, who'd accept he has duties and wait for him to visit, all while wishing they could have it better... but absolutely drawing the line because one such "duty" (*coughcough* stabby stabby) is too brutal to have his children to be around it.

[reindeer-dad]

{{ 👫Do they display affection in public? What about in private? }}

My Muse in a Relationship ?s

Yep. One of Rudy's love languages is physical touch, but it doesn't mean he goes overboard with the PDA. Besides hand-holding and wrapping his arm around his partner’s waist, he may even be caught doing the oh-so scandalous display of... leaning his (anterless) head on his partner's shoulder!

GASP! Get a ROOM, you two! /sarcasm

Oh yeah, and he'll smooch his partner under the mistletoe, citing "Mistletoe Law."

In private, he’s not overly cuddly, but he likes expressing his affection with kisses and caresses. Little things, like stroking their cheek, brushing their hair out of their face, and squeezing and rubbing his thumb over his partner’s knuckle while holding their hand.

1, 5, 9, and 11 for Rudy and Asgore!

Ship Headcanon Meme

1. Who makes the first move and how?

Asgore would drop hints that he likes Rudy, but Rudy would be the one most forthright about his intentions with a very big smooch.

5. Who says ‘I love you’ first?

I think Asgore and Rudy would think, "Golly/Goshdarn, I love this man" around the same time. But Asgore would be the one to say it out loud first (the big ol' softy!), and Rudy would reply with "I was thinkin' the same thing, big guy! HAHAHA!"

9. What is the most embarrassing thing they have done in front of each other?

They've been buddies for so long that they've seen each other do LOTS of embarrassing things! If you asked Asgore, he'd say it was something silly like him farting in front of Rudy. XD But Rudy will think Gorey talking to his flowers is the most embarrassing (but charming at the same time!).

As for Rudy, he's pretty good at keeping his cool when something doesn't go his way. Buuuuut... he wasn't able to play off when he accidentally stepped on black ice, losing his footing and doing the splits so hard his pants tore down the middle!

11. What do they hide from one another?

Ooh, that's tricky. The previous answers can apply to both Undertale and Deltarune universes, but this is where the answers diverge. They'd probably hide something innocuous from each other. Like... Deltarune Rudy purposely ordering a bunch of bouquets for random citizens in town and pay it anonymously, just so he can help Gorey keep his business afloat. Or Asgore hiding his superhero comics on top of his TV when Rudy comes to visit (because he'd tease the big guy relentlessly if he found out).

Undertale is more serious, because their circumstances are waaay different. Rudy would hide wishing Gorey could live in the cottage full-time like a real family (I explained more in this post). And Asgore, well... he's hiding how deep the pain he's feeling having to take SOULs from humans because he'd want his boyfriend to have hope for the future, too.

AAARRGH! Sorry for the angst at the end! ANYWAYS! Welcome back, Spacy!

😨 - 🫶 (I want to add more I just dunno which ones ._. )

munday emoji asks

😨 - What is the most shocking thing that has happened to you while roleplaying?

To me OOC, and not toward my character? Hmm... I haven't experienced anything "shocking" with a negative connotation. More like an "in hindsight, I can't believe I used to do that" sort of way...

Back when I started RPing, I did chatrooms with bare-bones replies with other RPers (nowhere near how I write these days!). I had an RP partner living on the opposite side of the world. He was only available during his day and late at night for me. I was so invested in the one-on-one story he planned out for us, I stayed up for it, only to nap between my replies to him. We completed the story by morning.

I can't imagine doing that anymore, what with my my ass being older and needing my rest... -.-;;;;

🫶 - Name a positive thing about the sending mun!

Only one thing??? Moog comes up with lots of creative ideas. In fact, the recent M!A we did was his brainchild. I always, always appreciate his input! <3

Gonna cheat and give you a Dess retcon because I've wanted to set the record straight on this headcanon. I originally characterized her as having a brown nose like her mom and decided instead to give both Holiday daughters red noses. I forcefully made them win the genetic lottery because I can, MWAH HA HA!

Send a number for me to talk about one of the following topics!

Oh. I see how it is. XD

9. reblog karma

(That's a strange name for it tbh...) "Reblog karma" is sending an ask for the same meme to the mun you are reblogging from. It feels like a common courtesy that I've been doing. Makes a lot of sense to me!

19. shipping

Pre-established relationships are nice. Building relationships for my characters are even better! Platonic, romantic, familial, sexual, whatever.

With that said, I'm not super-interested in involving myself with RPers whose sole interests are romantic/sexual ships. Yeah they're fun to do, but I want to write more than just that.

Move it, fellas. I got ANGST to write!

[reindeer-dad]

🙅

Send ‘🙅’ to know one thing that I do not roleplay.

I won't do any threads involving street drugs/narcotics or have any of my characters partake in it "behind the scenes," regardless if it's legal in my RP partner's country. It's just not my thing.

📬💍

Get to know my character through an ask!

💍 - Does Rudy wear any type of jewelry?

Back in college, Rudy once pierced his antlers to put gages in it. He even considered getting a septum piercing! The deal-breaker was that he didn't want to “break the shine” of his nose, which he had finally learned to appreciate (Noelle’s not the only one in the family who had weird ideas about random stuff).

Now a settled-down old guy, wearing his wedding ring is a given. He has a set of cuff links and a necktie pin gifted to him by his father-in-law used for formal occasions, such as for his wife's city council meetings. The classy pin doesn't fit his kitschy ties and he’s not that particularly fond of the over-expensive set. However, Carol likes him wearing them, so he'll do it for her.

📬 - A mysterious letter has just been found in Rudy's mailbox.  How does he react?  Who would it be from?

Speaking of jewelry, the mysterious letter would be attached to an A4-sized flier of necklaces for sale. It'd say:

CAN'T [functioning] A COMPUTER BUT WANT TO [friend request accept] THESE [obvious scams]?

[Run] THROUGH THIS FLIER TO FIND THE [fattest], SHINIEST [chain] TO [trap] YOUR VERY OWN [sugar daddy] AND [sugar mommy]. CHOOSE BETWEEN [yellow], [sliver], or [floss]. MIX AND MATCH PENDANTS  FOR [adverse affects]. YOUR [hochi mama]S ARE GUARANTEED TO SAY "[shove it]" AFTER [financing] IT TO THEM!

ACT NOW [ or   die. ] BEFORE SUPPLIES RUN OUT!

Rudy would be like, "Hey. How ancient do they think I am?? I know how to use a computer!" and wonder if he's suffering a stroke or something. XD
