#i've made it to horrortale at the time of writing this

[triglycercule]

the way youve ONLY spit facts with every ask i've sent you. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THESE WASN'T PEAK!!! time to discuss every single hc brought up in this,,,, whenever i think about a "dust gets replaced the most in the trio when w nm" i always think about like. the logistics of that. like if horror wasn't such a COWARD when it came to anything deadly to him (i always think about that one panel of him getting pissed at the suggestion of walking through blue snow,,,,, my cowardly son don't stop being the pathetic loser you are) then i totally think that he'd be up there with death count. a horrortale-less horror with no fear and no reason to live would be SO reckless. UAGH but anyways,,,, i love thinking about this. but also i dont know anymore when it comes to dust and his deaths that people make him a bit TOO reckless. remembering this fic where dust was investigating killer's private business or whatever sneaking around he was and im looking back at it like. dude shouldn't you be trying to get back to dusttale??? YOU HAVE HIGHER PRIORITIES (but the fic was actually good i could dismiss the weirdness). idk i just dont think he'd be SPITEFUL SPITEFUL unless provoked imo. i've spent too much time rambling about these 14 words in this ask,,,,,,

ANYWAYS finally onto the next sentence. maybe the whole post i made about killer keeping an elaborate internal profile on dust and horror wasn't enough but killer with a microscope at the little disposable glass slides that feature horror and dust is just one of my favorite FAVORITE THINGS :333 my favorite,,,, they'd hate it SO much!!! so much,,,, and then onto horror i also think Yes. maybe he sees the new dust making the same mistakes the previous dusts did like disobeying some sort of hidden rule of nightmare's (maybe killer would give him little tips and tricks. but also ALSO horror is literally described as "the closest thing to a hint system" in horrortale so yk,,,, wait i should totally think about this more in a seperate post but ANYWAYS) and he's like ughhh shit i should tell him to stop. but would he be pessimistic enough to not want to do anything to help dust after all of these despite the bafflement??? horror would feel like shit for not intervening but also like his incredible awareness that this is a NEW dust. not the old one that he had some form of a shitty bond,,,, so why even help him AAAAND there pop up the pessimistic mindset that all of the trio have soooo

AND I LIKE TOTALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BEFORE IN A PREVIOUS POST!!! YES!!!! he would. horror DEFINITELY doesn't approve of feeding people humans but dust and killer are the exception. just because they deserve it and it's probably some kind of fucked up self punishment anyways since projection onto another you must be some form of SELF harm. mtt parallels,,,, ANYWAYS no WAY they like that shit in my eyes. like if even HORROR who's used to human consumption and even feeds (haha PUN) into the human food system doesn't like the cannibalism then why the HELL would dust or even emotionless killer would like it. killer doesn't realize it in the moment but after eating that shit he's so damn disgusted and he doesn't even know why. its not even JUST his emotions because UAGH!!! THE BODY IS REACTING TOO!!! THIS SUCKS!!! and dust just. why can't he throw up,,,,,,, but in like a less canon adjacent path they'd freak over this shit. awww horror you fed up a special treat made with love?? thats so sweeeeet <333 i can't describe it well through text but i can imagine it in my head. creep time trio my beloved. when they ditch the "danger to eachother" part of "danger to eachother and everyone around them" and instead just decide to be public service enemies to everyone around them!!!!!!

buubonita you sneaky little mosquito THIS NEXT HC IS JUST YOUR LITTLE FIC SNIPPETS YOU POSTED!!! you THOUGHT your amazing writing could sneak past ME; TRIGLYCERCULE: rememberer of nothing but the murder time trio. you fool,,,,, i was wondering what the context behind that snippet was. liiike did killer rip out his eye for some reason??? he got THAT curious??? but yeah that makes more sense for there to be some other reason. but i am not You and The Writer so that's up to you to decide bludbonita. that snippet reminded me of this mini horrordust comic where dust donated his eye to an eyeless horror??? i dont remember it was like last year but anyways

would horror play the trombone in front of the two i Don't Know because that leans more into Sans Undertale canon for me to comment on. i am a LIAR i say i am a fan of the murder tine trio bu i dont even know much about their origin...... (moving on) CAT DOG RABBIT TRIO MENTIONED,,,,, YES!!! YES!!!!!! YEAASASAGGHHHHHHH!!!!! killer likes cats for obvious reasons,,,, horror would like dogs because idk (aside from him giving off dog vibes imo) dogs used to be like. wolves. hunter gatherer helpers. horror "hunts" even though all the hunting is just him playing psychological games with humans and leading them to their demise. HE LITERALLY IS THE PHRASE SLY DOG THAT'S LITERALLY HIM. and then obvious dust bunny pun. if i were well versed enough in like animal symbolism id probably find a serious rabbit connection to him. or maybe hare. perhaps on a rainy day i shall research for my trio!

that sleeping mask hc is SO CUTE,,,, THATS SO FUCKING CUTE I LOVE THAY I LOVE IT SOOOO MUCH EDYAGAHHHH!!!! RUDAGAH!!!!!! kitty face mask perhaps. it might get stained or degraded with his eye goop but still,,,, bro probably doesn't even close his eyes behind the mask but at least he doesn't get the extra sensory stimulation. and they dont get JUMPSCARED seeing killer sleep with his eyes open (they look even more empty than usual when he's asleep). the inner fluff lover in me came out in this little hc (which i will in fact be adopting thank you very much. this one is too good to pass up!)

i ALSO really love this one. dare i say i've never actually considered how they ALL would snap themselves out of dissociation (UNFORTUNATELY i don't have multiple brains. nor is mine fully developed yet. that is Okay) but this is so,,,4 rhavh the way that physical touch is how they all ground themselves??? funny how killer's the only NOT dangerous to himself too💀 i should probably do more research on dissociation but i do like the biting hands thing to snap dust out of what im gonna guess as more of an emotional detachment from the people and situation around him. maybe when things get BAD BAD he like. shoots some bones at himself. as if biting wasn't bad enough but at least he gets some penitentiary retribution through this. and then horror TOO but maybe with the depressive life that he lives in. maybe to remind himself that not EVERYTHING is pointless and wont lead to anything because uhhh it DOES lead to SOMEWHERE. at least what he's reminding himself of is the worst possible somewhere that things could lead to but ehhhh whatever idk im not a professional on this

FINALLY last hc,,,,, yeah he does that. what the fuck man horror could pop out the most HILARIOUS bangers and he gets NOTHING back??? smh he needs to raise his standards and take his ass to someone better (his standards are RAISED it is just that unfortunately horror has no other choice. dust and killer aren't even the best he could settle with)

the way that this was SO long..... enjoy this ramble. i didn't LIE when i said i'd respond to every ask of mine you answer 😈😈😈

dear buubonita,

it's gotten to the point that i'm running out of ask ideas so now i have to resort to my trump card: MTT ASKS!!!! what are you,,,,,r favorite,,,,, mtt hcs that you have for them,,,,,,,, even if its worlds most basic hc IDC (devours the mtt content)

denied from the pearly gates, triglycercule

MTT headcanons! here we go. They're not that big of a deal though.

Dust is the one who's been replaced the most times out of the group, Killer being the detail-oriented guy that he is, is able to tell the slight differences, starting with the fact that Dust doesn't know them, but their tastes tend to vary a bit.

Like the old Dust likes bourbon and the new one prefers vodka instead. Very insignificant things that serve as a reminder that the Dust they know is gone. Horror has a bad memory, but not when it comes to remembering his teammates' antics. He feels baffled, not just because Nightmare took Dust from them one day and shoved another in their faces as if they couldn't possibly know what's going on.

A shorter hc is that Horror has fed Killer and Dust human parts before. It was on a "date". Dust felt a bit uneasy, Killer took it for what it is; something new. Killer never stops trying something new. (We get it, stfu with the joke)

Whether or not they enjoy human flesh, I'll leave to your own amusement.

Dust had his eye ripped out once, Killer took it to dissect (but he wasn't the one who pulled it out) and Nightmare asked him to go get a replacement. Horror had to be the surgeon on duty from experience and put the new thing in its place.

I personally don't see any of the three smoking weed 😭, Dust may have tried but let's just say it's not a good additive to his degraded mind. I don't see Killer smoking anything at all, though he might be willing to try too. I'd say it's not something he'll pick up as a habit in the end.

Horror doesn't consume anything at all.

Killer, Dust and Horror can play the trombone. Though I like to think Horror is the only one still playing it.

Killer likes cats

Horror likes dogs

Dust likes bunnies (and rodents)

Killer sleeps with his eyes open (and his little hands on his soul) Horror and Dust gave him a sleeping mask so they wouldn't have to see him.

Their methods for getting out of dissociation;

Dust has a tendency to bite others, but he mostly bites his hands. Horror sticks his hand in the hole and scratches a lot, and Killer pinches others in the face (although this seems to be canon, I love it)

Horror is the only one who still makes puns, but neither Dust nor Killer usually laugh with him when that happens... (difficult audience)

Featured Fic Friday!

Welcome to Featured Fic Friday! A day where I, or someone who suggests one, tell you about a fanfic that I really enjoy! Spoiler's under the cut! Today's featured fic is...

The One Where Sans Tells It Like It Is. (Or: The One Where Sans Is Number One Dunckle) by marauding_bagel (General Audiences, Complete)

When Toriel asked him to attend the meeting in her place for one night he thought it wouldn't be a big deal. Turns out Sans could not have been more wrong.

A bit of a short fic, there's a surprising lack of fics with this concept! Even still, I like the way the author exectues the idea! I loved reading comics similar to this fic when I was younger, so this threw me back a bit!

I enjoy the way the author writes the characters, & how they have them interact with each other!

Spoilers ahead!

I really like how the author includes some of the reactions from the unamed parents also at the meeting, having mentions of nods of agreement & cheering when Sans insults Helen's brownies!

[erineas]

Hi there! Hope you don't mind but I'm just wondering if you have any recs for fanfics of the skellies :D I typically love reverse harem trope ones racoonsinqueen & tyranttortoise my absolute favs but if you know any that are just one main pairing but the writing is still good, I'd love to know :D

OK, EVERYONE STOP THEIR HORSES, because it's fanfic appreciation time ✨

I've read my fair share of fanfics, most aren't finished or their authors disappeared but I'll mention them too because they still very much worth it and I. Just. Love. Themmmm!

Also I'll try listing by memory so this is probably going to be messy:

Bitty Hunt by RND_Injustice (SSLL but you're a bitty! Unfinished, has 33 chapters + 18 bonus chapters in here. 10/10 Already read it three times) My Favorite Red Scarf by RND_Injustice (Reader x UT Papyrus. Unfinished, has 34 chapters. MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. 100/10 I want to marathon this fic with someone, if that makes sense) Fur a good time, Call by popatochisp (Reader x HT Sans. Finished, with extra chapters on Snips & Snails. Another favorite with a 100/10. Also want to marathon this one) Dirty Laundry by popatochisp (Reader x Swapfell bros. Finished. To be honest I don't remember much, that's why it's in my rereading list but it promise very good things and the feelings I get just reading bits are like-- kdjkdjkdj my heart!) On top of the Bone Pile by Lyrjok (Reverse Harem. Finished. Good writing, SSLL vibes but totally different and really good. 10/10. Rereading right now) A Mouse Among Skeletons by Duchess_Aquarius (Reverse Harem with more skeletons than the main 5 AUs. Kinda crazy, rlly, but I still ate it. Finished. Be sure to read the tags. Rlly good writing. You decide how good it is) Bones, Picked Clean by lulu-writes (Reverse Harem. Unfinished. 37 chapters. I don't remember much about it but I loved their Horrortale bros) The Skeleton Games by Poetax (Reader x UF Sans. On going, has 56 chapters by this time, SHORTY RED. I also love this one, another favorite hehe. Unexpected 100/10 to me) Aggre(v/g)ation by Llama_Goddess (Reverse Harem with UF/HT/UT Sans x Reader. Finished. Being honest again, I started reading years ago and haven't finished it for reasons that have nothing to do with the fic. I found it again and let's just say there's a reason why everyone worships this fic)

Those are ones that made my days the first time I enter tumblr. Now that i'm back, lets continue with the recent ones i've read:

House Next Door by BattleMaiden13 (Reverse Harem. On going. Has 130 chapters by this time but you're damned if you want to catch up because THAT AUTHOR IS FAST AF. I've started reading like a month ago and they already posted 25 chapters. Writing improves very fast as you're reading and there's so many things to enjoy. Delicious. 10/10) Saving Three Ex-cell-lent Skeletons by RecklesslyCaffeinated (Reverse harem with UF/HT/UT Sans x Reader. Finished with a second book on the works. ABSOLUTE BANGER. Another 10/10, made me heart bleed for skeletons and question myself) It's just a Game by Htsan (You x UT Sans. Finished. Unconventional. Read it if you like heavy angst and interactive games, and maybe hate your emotional stability... Really good, tho. 10/10. Made me cry so many times. Not gonna elaborate)

Writing Patterns/First 10 Lines Tag Game

I discovered @emeraldhazeart 's post on this but I'm afraid I don't know who started this game. It looked fun though so I spent like an hour digging up old links and writing this out lol

Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

I didn't realize I'd actually posted ten but here we go! Order is from oldest to newest and only includes the Undertale works I've posted on the internet.

Siren Call 2017 (Classic Timeline feat. my first Undertale OC. Currently abandoned but I have started to rewrite it.)

A catchy tune resonated from the speakers all over the grocery store.

The Hand We've Been Dealt 2019 on Quotev or 2023 on AO3 (Underfell Timeline feat. another OC. Still in progress.)

The sunset certainly was beautiful from up here.

Crazy & Cold 2023 (A Horrortale oneshot ten years post-surfacing.)

Most people probably would've called you crazy.

Nomadic Love 2023 (A post-Echotale oneshot.)

The sun glinted off the clear ocean waves as they lapped at the sandy shoreline before receding back into their bed.

THWBD: Rihanna Lives 2023 (Alternate timeline of The Hand We've Been Dealt.)

You walked carefully through the snow, cringing slightly from the loud crunching sound it made, interrupting the otherwise quiet winter morning.

The Nightmare of Apathy 2023 (An Undertale multiverse fic in progress.)

"Don't forget to refuel your lantern before you leave!"

Nightmare Cuddles 2023 (A semi-canon oneshot for The Nightmare of Apathy.)

The soft pitter patter of rain on the bay window had lulled you into a deep slumber hours ago but now had picked up into a torrential storm.

Have Some Empathy, Dear 2024 (An Undertale multiverse fic.)

It was a dreary day today, yet despite the overcast sky and brisk breeze that often whipped snow into your face, it was the nicest it had been in days.

The Shopping List 2024 (A Classic Timeline oneshot feat. Papyrus.)

With a heavy sigh, you shut your locker and locked it with the combination lock.

A Gentle Soldier 2024 (An Undertale multiverse oneshot.)

You were simple person, just doing what you could to get by in the world.

Conclusion: I am a very descriptive/visual writer and most of the time I start out my stories with describing where the characters are or what's going on. There are a few outliers of course but I generally go for this route and apparently have the entire time I've been writing Undertale fanfiction. I think there's always places I could improve of course but I can see that I have gotten better, even in the last couple of months.

Dyspraxia representation in fiction

As someone who is dyspraxic, I just wanted to list a few characters who are either canonically dyspraxic, or are basically canon but somehow not! We don't get much rep at all, so I love it when I can relate to others like me. I'll add more if I can find anything!

Ramya Knox, 'Like A Charm' and 'Like A Curse' (books, by Elle McNicoll). Canon. The books describe struggles with DCD really well, and how frustrating it can be (but not something that controls your life) in a way I really resonated with. The whole message of the book is beautifully delivered, and what I love so much about it is that Ramya has personality outside of her neurodivergency - not everything is linked back to it. There's good plot outside 'ow, why is that wall there'. It's definitely not a 'throw it in there, why not' situation. The books also contain a strong autistic rep from a supporting character. Ryan Sinclair, 'Doctor Who'. Canon. I haven't really watched his seasons and I've heard it's not the best rep ever, but it's... there. Make your own judgement on it; I've heard the writing's not as good as some other seasons, and that his DCD feels like a 'throw it in' situation (like he has little personality outside of being dyspraxic), but it's still some form of representation. Besides, Doctor Who is amazing most other seasons anyway, even with no dyspraxic characters, so check it out if you haven't! Marcy Wu, 'Amphibia'. Non-canon. She is 100% autistic already (am also autistic), and really is dyspraxic despite not being canonically so. I would LOVE to do an in-depth analysis after I've finished watching for the first time. She's clumsy, moves lots, forgetful, hyperfixates, forgets surroundings, gets injured a LOT, is unbalanced, creative, ingenuitive, and thinks outside the box. In Amphibia, the first thing she did was fall down a flight of stairs and break her leg bc she wasn't watching where she was going. Every time she's on screen, I instantly think 'that's me', in a way I've never felt before. I'm actually really sad that not many ppl seem to notice this in her (although the autism traits are talked about a bunch, which I love). Also SPOILERS: ...........................She has an amazing moment which shows just how outcast she feels from society due to her neurodivergency, and how she finds comfort in fantasy instead. Made me cry. Robin Buckley, 'Stranger Things'. Non-canon. Again, I haven't seen this (yet), but I'm planning on it purely for her. I don't know how much this is shown, but my mum (also dyspraxic) watched it and said it was definitely the case; she apparently is uncoordinated, unbalanced, and avoids sport/running. I can't really make a judgement yet, but from what I've heard, yup. I like her already.

In terms of characters who I have no reason to headcanon as dyspraxic but do anyway because I can (ALL NON-CANON): HorrorTale!Sans (head injury, acquired DCD), most of the pink Precure cast, Frisk from UT, Edric from TOH. They are not canonically dyspraxic and have little to no evidence of it, I just personally headcanon it bc of no rep.

I really wish there was more representation for dyspraxic people. It would make me feel more confident if there was more 'this person is dyspraxic and that's okay' talks inside or outside of media. It's not the type of thing I enjoy being non-canon - there are so many cases of stuff, especially in anime (no hate against anime at all), where it romanticises or laughs at people who can't catch, throw, or run. It's also mainly girls who get the clumsy treatment, at least in what I've seen. I would love it if people talked more about DCD in general.

Representation goes a long way :)

[unidentifiedfluffyobject]

So, I'm sick and in Quarantine. I have way more time to do stuff on my hands and have nothing to do. So I've been doing some thinking.

I wanna write on here, but I find that when I go to make a starter post or a starter call, I don't even know what to write because all of my RP is usually done via discord so I don't even know what to ask for?

And when I do make actual starter posts, I feel like I do them too long and no one reads them and blah blah blah.

So, yeah, I guess I'm posting an ad for lack of anything better to do with my time. Too sick to draw because I can't stop coughing long enough to do a straight line.

Right now I'm in between brainrots, and I've recently made a few new muses, but even so, I'm up to writing with just about any of the ones I have. While writing this I'm realizing I haven't posted the full list of muses I have, which is probably for the best because I have a fucking boatload.

Anyway. Cutting to the chase, looking for a long-term writing partner in the Undertale fandom. I'm sure judging by my current layout it's clear that I write skeletons. That being said, I write humans and other monsters too. You want OC/Canon? You want Canon/Canon? Specify. Just know I'll probably be asking for something in return. Keep everything even steven, y'know?

Right now my current brainrot is sirentale and literally anything situated in the Horror genre (not necessarily Horrortale mind you, even though the beans in that AU are precious).

I guess until I get something sorted I'll work on fics or something. See if I can iron something out.

[crusnikroxas]

HIIII!!! Another ask bc I read Cadaverous, and omg I have many thoughts! This is gonna be a long one strap in my friend

I said in a comment I truly wonder about her father, like I swear *he's* the reason she isn't human, but I'm probably wrong! As well, I wonder if her mother knew when she was born. I have a lot of feelings Abt her mom and none of them are good lmao

But ! I'm quite intrigued, because you put Toriel In your story! A lot of HorrorTale fics don't use her, they say Frisk killed her! I was happily surprised!! (Also I don't read many HorrorTale readers bc... They always do noncon and that's an ick for me but anyway)

I also find it rlly funny how Sans is *also* not gonna talk Abt the whole soulmate thing. I rlly wonder what Papyrus would say... And also I am gonna cry, bc in DEISY papyrus called MC sister, and I can rlly see that *hurting* mc here real bad, I wonder how , if at all, that's gonna work. Especially since MC has more of a protective streak with siblings. (Mood)

I'm really excited to see how you do Grillby's, and other monsters! And I'm still just very excited to see how MC reacts more to genuinely kind people. Because I think, no matter what, Papyrus is kind and especially to someone important to his brother! And like it or not, Mc is important to them. I wonder if she's gonna still destroy humanity and start another war that destroyed the world already. Or if, without their food, theyrw still gonna send people down the hole. Instead, they may just eat them. Really, don't know what they thought would happen by hurting their literal food source . Should have just tried to keep MC happy, really. Kiss her ass! Or yk. They coulda not been absolute shitlords and instead been kind human beings- but then it wouldn't be a story!

I'll probably message more as I gain more thoughts and reread, but GOD every story you write always makes me want to know more! You have a great way of making us question what really went on in their backstory. I always wanna know more!

Thank you as always for writing, it's a pleasure to read it every time! Thank you!

Aaaaaaaaa >////< Thank you so much!! Honestly, I means so much to me when people like my writing, I'm so happy 😊♥️♥️♥️

And on to the questions! Or thoughts 🤣

Hmmm.....all I can say is it's very interesting that you suspect y/n's father may be the cause of all of this 😌 And as for her mother - yup, she's she's horrible person, completely irredeemable 😂😅 But y/n was born naturally, and before her sister, making her the elder sister! Nothing weird there.

Oh really??? I didn't know that! Every Horrortale fic I've read does have Toriel there - even if she's o lying mentioned briefly. Basically, I have more plans for her in the story, ehehehe. >:3

Sans and y/n already have something in common, yaaay! 😂 Sans is....well, a lot more complicated as a character than he first appears (and yes, he's already a complicated dude 🤣) - but we'll unravel more of that later on.

Ahhhhh, my poor Papyrus 😭 He's been through a lot (well, they all have), so he's got a lot of hurdles to jump. The sibling thing may or may not feature 😉

Aaaaaa, I'm so excited about introducing Grillby and everyone else! Let's just say that they're going to be, we'll....pretty damn important lore wise, at least in terms to why y/n is the way she is.... >:3

Nah, you're good, the people on the surface really are shitlords 😂 Well, not all of them, but that's another story 😉 But yes, they made a massive error....or, at least, Michael did. But then, he's also a completely unhinged dude, so he wasn't really thinking about anyone but himself. Things will be changing up there....that's all I can say. 🙃

But again, thank you so much - and thank you so much for reading! 🥺♥️♥️♥️ And thank you for the asks - I really love receiving them, ehehehhe 😊

For the fruit ask

🍌 🍓 🍍

🍌 In your opinion, what’s the funniest joke/reference/pun you’ve made in a fic?

HDJGDSJDGSHJ I. ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THIS ONE JOKE/SCENE IN MY ONESHOT "Home" THAT JUST, MAKES ME LAUGH EVERY TIME AND IT'S STILL GENUINELY I THINK THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE WRITTEN, AT LEAST TO ME, BUT I'LL PICK SOMETHING ELSE FOR THIS ASK!!!

THERE'S THIS MOMENT FROM THIS FIC THAT I JUST THINK IS. FUNNY FOR NO REASON:

“hey bro, quick question,” Sans pipes up from right behind him.

“NYHES?”

“where’s the telescope? it’s, uh. kinda not there anymore.”

“WHAT TELESCOPE?” Papyrus blurts.

They make a bit of prolonged eye-contact before the taller skeleton marches off into the trees behind them, leaving the shorter to trail behind.

LIKE. IDK JUST, THE HILARITY OF HIM ASKING WHAT TELESCOPE I LOVE HOW MUCH OF A DORK PAPYRUS IS AND HE'S SO BAD AT KEEPING A SECRET I JDSHHJGDJHGDHJDGSHJ

I'M SURE THERE'S OTHER JOKES AND STUFF I'VE MADE BUT THIS WAS, THE ONLY ONE I COULD THINK OF ON A WHIM OTHER THAN THE ONE I ALREADY MENTIONED HERE

🍓 What’s a fic you’ve written you feel is underrated?

UHHHHHHHHHH NEXT QUESTION--

🍍 What kind of AUs do you like? Are there any AUs you hate or just generally have beef with?

I LOVEEEEEEEE HORRORTALE AND UNDERFELL BECAUSE I'M BOTH AN ANGST JUNKIE AND HORROR JUNKIE >:DDDDDDDDD (PLUS I LOVE EDGE SO SO MUCH, LIKE. IT DEPENDS ON PEOPLE WRITING HIM BUT I ADORE HIM ALMOST AS MUCH AS ORIGINAL PAPS)

ALSO I REALLY LIKE STORYSHIFT, AFTERTALE (THOUGH I DON'T TALK ABOUT IT AT ALL HDSGDSJDS), AND @underjumble >:DDDDDD

AS FOR ONES I DON'T LIKE KJHJEJKGSDHJGSDHJ I THINK, DUSTTALE AND LUSTTALE HONESTLY,, LUSTTALE IS KIND OF. SELF-EXPLANATORY FOR WHY IT'S NOT ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

AS FOR DUSTTALE IT'S JUST. IT MAKES NO SENSE IN MY OPINION AND DSHJGDSJHDGJDSGJHJH JUST, I FEEL LIKE IT WAS CREATED SPECIFICALLY TO MAKE SANS EDGIER THAN EVEN HIS FANON VERSION AND KIND OF MAKES LIGHT OF MENTAL ILLNESS AS A WHOLE I THINK AND. IT JUST, RUBS ME THE WRONG WAY IN GENERAL, BUT I'M OPEN-MINDED TO IT I GUESS IF IT'S??? PORTRAYED WELL???? IDK IT MIGHT BE AN INTERESTING CONCEPT IF IT JUST. MADE MORE SENSE CHARACTER-WISE (MY MAIN GRIPE OF COURSE BEING, AS A SKELEBRO FANATIC, THE FACT THAT SANS WOULD THINK OF HURTING PAPYRUS AT ALL. ALSO HIS PLAN MAKES NO SENSE JUST, OBJECTIVELY LMAOOOO AGAIN I GET THAT HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE, DRIVEN MAD AT THIS POINT BUT?????? I'M SORRY BUT NONE OF IT JUST REALLY. ALIGNS WITH HIS CHARACTER)

[absurdumsid]

I loooove the idea of Horror being freaked out by Dust and Killer because they are the same person driven to the very VERY edge of their patience but have turned out vastly different !!

I've made a tiny little essay comparing Murder Time Trio sepcifically because of this (thank you so much I've been meaning to do this for so long)

Fair warning everything i write here is my personal interpretation of canon and i sprinkle in some of my own headcanons. It will include spoilers mainly for Horrortale but also Dusttale and Something New.

tl;dr: Horror runs away from the consequences of his actions and justifies them by comparing it to Dust and Killer- who have their friends and family's dust on their hands. He is aware that they are the same person as him, driven to different lengths, but is scared of the fact that they are proof he can kill the monsters in his underground by himself. It almost resembles hypocrisy because he already has dust on his hands. The blood from the humans he feeds the monsters of Snowdin are just vibrant enough to hide the ash.

They're all insane in their own way. To me, they've all got an intimate relationship with denial and vengeance. But Killer and Dust's entire identities center on murder as a twisting road to freedom. Horror is almost the complete opposite, he is the one who takes away freedom. This results in a dynamic between people who have nothing left but the dust on their hands and a person who chooses to shovel the dust from the ground and throw it into your eyes (out of spite !!)

Some comparisons you could make between Horror and Dust/Killer involve visible injury, different kill counts, and of course, circumstances.

But let's start with circumstances. Both Dust and Killer are from repeated genocide timelines. Their difference is in their volition. Dust chooses to kill the monsters, Killer is forced by the player.

Dust's "injury" manifests in Phantom Papyrus, who haunts him in every timeline and reset. He lingers beside him, taunting and guilting him. A constant reminder of his sins. I also want to point out how his eyes show he has let go of Justice and only has single-minded devotion left to push him through killing everyone to stop a single child. He has nothing and nobody left but this one goal- his purpose.

Killer's "injury" shows through his tears, which floods out of him as if he is grieving, because his body can't take the Determination, because he was never made to be a murderer. His malformed soul puts on display the fact that he's been abused, deformed, and has suffered through irreversible damage. Even after murdering the very person who turned him into Killer, he has not achieved the control he wants. He has nothing left but killing, he can do nothing but embrace the fact that this is all he will be.

Horror's "injury" is very simple- the giant hole on his skull, an injury that shows he was meant to be a sacrifice. And his missing eye, replaced by one he stole from another monster.

Unlike the other two, Horror comes from an AU that survives a Neutral Run where Undyne becomes queen. But the Underground, because of the CORE malfunctioning, begins to struggle to survive under the new rule. Sans and many monsters try to fix the CORE, but monsters still continue to die. Horror, unlike Dust and Killer, watches his loved ones die not by the hand of the player, but by the force of the very thing meant to keep them alive.

In desperation, Alphys proposes they use Sans' magic to reactivate the CORE, which Undyne refuses, because she can't just sacrifice her friend. Not after everything he's done for them. But when Sans proposes they dismantle the CORE from the outside in to find out how they can power it, which could and will take ages, Undyne sacrifices him to save many for the price of one life.

Sana, betrayed and used, loses his Patience and seeks vengeance. Despite being shown what it means to be the saviour of the Underground, what it means to be a sacrifice- he destroys the CORE and all of the monsters' hopes with it.

Additionally, faced with a famine, he creates a new pseudo-rule in Snowdin. He enforces a law that ensures no human can get through the icy woods alive, he makes sure that no human soul can arrive at Undyne's doorstep and essentially traps the monters in the Underground out of vengeance, out of spite.

Horror doesn't have the same amount of kills as Dust or Killer, but he is the same amount, if not more, messed up as the both of them. Because Horror watches the monsters struggle, murder, and go insane under rules of his own making, under a tragedy of his design. He even starves himself in the middle of a famine, not to free food for others but to preserve his principles.

He doesn't kill, but he might as well be the fallen angel that will "free the underground." Unlike Dust who takes action because his family is killed, he doesn't do anything unless he is wronged. Unlike Killer who was forced to murder, Horror willingly took vengeance by the throat even if it meant everyone went down with him.

Horror would look at Dust and Killer, clock them as murderers, and be disgusted by the fact that they've dusted their hands because the player killed the people they love. Because Horror still has Grillby, the monsters that hang around, and more importantly, he still has Papyrus.

Horror would look at them and think his actions are still justifiable, because he hasn't sullied his hands with the dust of his fellow monsters yet. At least, not directly.

Horror would look at them in fear of his potential to become like Dust and Killer, because he's simply denying the truth- that he has already taken many monsters' lives in his act of vengeance.

tl;dr 2: Horror is just as bad as Dust and Killer. He's afraid of his potential to be like them, but he already is.

Okay the art is scrappy but BEAR WITH ME i have stuff to say.

Don't you ever think, like, Horror gets kinda terrified at the idea of being around Dust and Killer? I mean, sure, they're all messed up in the heads, they've all killed, Horror's no exception and he's got the bloodstains on his shirt to lay proof of it.

But I feel like being around versions of yourself that have killed your own brother or, you know, THE ENTIRE UNDERGROUND would be deeply unsettling. Even more so, Dust and Killer aren't from AUs where the universe itself is fundamentally different, no. They all come from the same kind of universe, all three of them are the same old 'Sans the Skeleton'. or at least they used to be until, y'know. Only difference is what the player/Frisk had done in these timelines.

Would that not freak him out? Would he actively avoid being around Dust and Killer, wouldn't he hate it?? And unlike Dust and Killer he has his own world to return to, even if it's royally screwed over, he still has Papyrus. I don't think he'd be as attached to the whole idea of the 'Bad Sanses' as the other two are, which could bring questions on how Nightmare feels about all of it.

I dunno maybe I'm just thinking this over too much. Just food for thought, I guess.

[drabbletale]

ohhhh horrortale!sans and blueberry in Horrotale + there was only ONE bed and make it so fluffy, i would get a sugar rush xD love your writing!!

BLOODBERRY Fluffy Drabble

Okay so I know this doesn't follow the usual beats of the 'ONLY ONE BED' trope, but because they are staying in Horrortale, my mind made it go this way. ^^ ALSO I made it a drabble instead of headcanons because it got out of hand and this prompt makes more sense for a drabble. I hope you like it though! I've written this pairing only once before. Sorry if horrortale!Sans is OOC. Also I call him Blood, because that's the only version of HT!Sans that I really care about. (Although the ones with farmer sans are cute too)

tw: some minor references to violence relating to HT and a fight BB got in. No violence shown though. BB isn't super injured, just very worn out/tired. (Also, this is NOT yan/de+re... don't worry)

----

When Blue shows up at Blood’s doorstep again, his magic is dim from exhaustion and he looks ready to collapse. His breath is shaky. Blood looks up to his brother’s bedroom door, but it’s closed; Sugar is already sleeping and the house is quiet.

“Hi friend.” Even Blue’s voice is much quieter than it typically is. Usually when Blue ends up at his doorstep, it’s with a sly grin, and an energy that Blood is ready to eat right up… Not literally, but… well, maybe a little literally, in a more salacious sense.

It was clear that this was not Blue’s intention for tonight though. “hey, you uh… you sick?”

Blue’s small smile, half closed eye sockets as he looked up at Blood made his soul do a little flip. He was always amazed that he could still feel this way, after everything he had been through, he could still feel his emotions twist over and in on themselves as he looked at those pretty bright eye lights. Fuck, Blue was beautiful.

“No, but there was an attack and… Don’t give me that look, I didn’t die, right? None of us did, but it was quite a fight…” Blue backed off a little with a heavy sigh, turning his head to look to the side. Blood saw then, a large gash across Blue’s left cheekbone.

Blood reached up and stroked his thumb against it. Rather than wincing, Blue leaned into the touch, his eye sockets closing as the tension in his shoulders seeped out. He wasn’t in pain, which means the wound was healed by someone, at least. “blue…”

“Do you still love me, now that my face is maimed?” He opened his eyes to give Blood that adorable cheeky smile that he did when he was telling a corny joke, but Blood didn’t find it funny. He raised a disapproving brow bone at him, despite his mind racing tenfold at Blue even mentioning ‘love’. What a concept, for Blood to fall in love. Blue’s smile spread across his face and he huffed a short laugh, wrapping his arms around Blood’s neck.

There was once a time that he would have shoved Blue away and out the door. There was a time, longer ago than that, that he would have used the opportunity to take a bite out of his shoulder or-….. No need to linger on that though.

“so you’re jus’ lookin’ for a place to sleep tonight, huh?”

“Aw, come on, can’t I just miss you?” Blood didn’t reply, he felt almost choked up at the implication. It was good, too good. What the hell was happening right now? “I’m just… I just don’t want to be alone tonight and I… I miss you.” Their eyes locked again and Blue leaned up to nuzzle against Blood’s cheek.

He tried to slow his breathing, reaching behind Blue to close the door, as he replied. “you’re uh always welcome here, baby blue.” He traced his fingertips down Blue’s spine, smiling hard when Blue leaned against him fully. He was near collapsing in Blood’s arms, but he didn’t mind.

Blue refused anything to eat, saying he was too tired, yet complained that he wasn’t so tired that he needed to be carried to bed. Blood insisted though, and told him to hush, as Sugar needed his beauty sleep. There were no further complaints as he carried Blue bridal-style, up the decrepit stairs and to his room. Thankfully, both the bedrooms had kept their doors, despite all that had happened. The furniture and carpets had been easy enough to replace once they received aide from other AUs… the infrastructure of the actual house, not so much.

Still, Sugar refused to leave their home and Blood would never abandon him.

His new little love interest didn’t seem to mind, thankfully, that their world was a disaster. That he himself was a disaster.

He closed his door with his back and walked to the bed, setting down Blue with care. He could tell that his little buddy was already starting to fall asleep in his arms, but managed to press himself against the wall enough to let Blood slide under his thin blanket with him.

Never had he dreamed that Blue would want anything more from him that a quick tumble here or there. Now, Blue curled his body around Blood’s, arm resting across his chest, face pressed close under his chin. He was asleep the instant he closed his eyes.

They had fallen asleep together countless times, but this was different. It was more emotional, more intimate. Holy shit, Blood felt high. Or… was he in love?

Was Blue right?

He hoped that Blue would stick around long enough for Blood to find out the easy way. With smiles and comfort and kisses and sex.

Not with the pain of a further abandonment.

Blue was never the type to walk away from something he cared about. He also wasn’t the type to pretend he cared about something unless his very life was in danger. And Blood had never hurt him or threatened to. In fact, Blue had always seemed far too comfortable around him, almost at ease in a near empty world.

He had once joked about liking the fact that no one would take him away from Blue. Did Blue love him back…?

Did Blue love him? Blue was nearly laying on top of him now. Blood laughed and kissed the top of his skull and finally surrendered to sleep, happier than he had been decades.

Oki doki! Here's my match-up info! :D

Personality: I'm very friendly and open to people I know well. I prefer to stick with people that I know rather than meeting new people, and get very shy around people I don't know. I like to banter with my friends and family, and I'm good at emphasizing with people. I can be very protective over my friends and will throw hands with anybody that messes with them. I like to make people laugh and will go out of my way to help others. I try to be confident when flirting but uh. that usually doesn't go well and I end up flustered anyway.

Hobbies: I like to bake and cook to relieve stress. I like to draw and write in my spare time (though I can get very fixated on my project and stay up way too late), and I also like to go outside and take pictures of nature. I have about 40 succulents that I take care of, as well. I like to play video games when I don't have anything else to do.

Dislikes/pet peeves: I don't like people who refuse to listen to what others have to say, especially if they're wrong about something. I also don't like being teased about mistakes I've made even if they're made in good humor.

Deal breakers: Someone who's mean for no reason, someone who won't listen to me, someone who doesn't show they appreciate me.

Attractive qualities: Always looking for opportunities to grow and be better, likes to banter, knows when to reassure me that it's okay to make mistakes, takes interest in my hobbies.

Strengths and flaws: I'm very good at adapting to the situations I'm in. I'm good at emphasizing with people and finding ways to comfort them. However, I tend to prioritize others above myself and internalize negative comments about myself even if I don't necessarily think they're true.

Basic physical description: 5'5, pale skin, white hair with a blue streak, blue eyes with glasses.

You could’ve easily fit a lot of the skeletons, but I think I’ll match you with…….OAK (horrortale sans)!

Oak is a good boy for those who can be sensitive to teasing. He’s very gentle in the way he treats his SOs. Plus oak knows better than anyone else how annoying getting your flaws pointed out can be. Don’t tease him about his memory and he won’t tease about your insecurities.

If you like a guy that shows appreciation, then oak is a great one to have! His main form of affection is all physical, but it also makes it really obvious to see how much he likes you. It’s kinda hard not to feel his love when he’s always purring at you lol.

Everyone forgets that oak is just as good a cook as willow. He just needs someone with him watching in case. He’s more than happy to spend some time cooking with you. You two can make it a date.

Never ever trust oak with your succulents. He’s pretty much cursed to accidentally kill any plant he’s in charge of

It’s pretty convenient that you love nature. Oak basically has the woods behind his home memorized. He’s more than happy to take you and show you all the animals and pretty spots back there!

A few of the other guys you could’ve worked with was peaches, honey, Star and lilac

Dude. I read your fic, The Last of the Real Ones. It took me 5 days. I am mesmerized. Thank you for blessing my eyes. I loved your take on all the boys. It was refreshing and I can honestly say that I couldn’t pick a favorite because of how well written they were. Usually my favorite is Rus, but this time it was all of them. They had so many good points to all of them and they all made my heart happy that they were all such deep characters. Thank you for writing it. Please rest as long as you need before your next fic. I can’t wait to read what you come out with next 💚💚💚

That's a huge chunk to go through, even in five days, I hope you took your breaks and stayed hydrated! Thank you for the shout out and support. I'm glad the characters were enjoyable and the story engaging.

I've got a couple of ideas cooking right now and I wanna flesh them out a bit more before I drop anything new for reading. The first idea deals with a reader in the Dusttale (genocide) world who hops to horrortale (neutral) and then to the pacifist timeline where more than just one world's skeletons have ended up. That has over 75K written. The other idea deals with a reader who gets purposefully dumped on an island, only to be rescued by Rus and Black who were just kicked out of the larger skeleton group and in need of a third helper. This one has over 60K written, but neither fic has an end in sight and I kinda need that figured out before I go any further.

Hope you're doing well too!

I'm gonna keep sending asks and talking Abt your fic bc it gives me so much serotonin, but I was recently just thinking of Papyrus in your fic

How you still have him make mistakes, and even when he was confused and hurt by the notion MC would even hurt someone, he still cared... Idk it's so endearing how he made a mistake but it's obvious he still cared, and cares a lot Abt mc, tho I know him and mc do need to have a lil better of a conversation Abt it....

I am so excited for the next update, but pls !! Take your time! Your health is more important, we'll be waiting for you!

Aaaaahh, thank you for the asks! It always makes me so happy when people get curious about lore and stuff, hehehe 😊♥️

Yeah, poor Papyrus 🥺 I wanted to show that, you know, anybody can make a mistake - and everyone reacts differently when they're hurt and confused about something. With Undyne....yeeeeah, we know how that came out 😅 But I thought in Papyrus' regard....well, even in the 'Disbelief' AU, he still holds some of that kindness within him, even when he's intent on making sure the player just stops, y'know? It's not quite the same situation with y/n, obviously, but I thought it was important to show that even when he's in turmoil like that, he still has a kind heart. Or soul, whatever. 🤣

And yes, they're gonna have to talk a lot about it all - obviously, y/n understands why it happened, and while she's upset about it, obviously.....it's going to take poor Paps a lot longer to get over. I'm so sorry in advance for making the poor boi suffer 😅😂

Ah, thank you >.< At the moment, I'm writing the next update chapter for my Horrortale fic - then, I'm kind of drafting....well, the first chapter of a book that I hope I can take to a publisher at some point >///< But! That does not mean I will be stopping the fic whatsoever 🤣 So after I've done that, I'll be working on the next update - I'm so excited to get it out, it's something I've been plotting since I started the fic, and I can't wait for you guys to react to the lore I've been foreshadowing for soooo freakin' long now, ahahaha 😂♥️♥️♥️
