can you tell us more about grandpa semi PLEASE

I’m so glad you asked, anon. 

Well, to be fair, I can't think of Semi apart from his family, so forgive me if it won’t be exclusively about him.

His dynamic with Gaster reminds me a lot of Bert and Ernie (With Semi being more of a Bert). In general he comes off a bit rude, has a bad habit of mumbling and grumbling, which is exactly why Gaster calls him “Grandpa”.  

 I think, if the underground has such positions, Semi would totally be a sheriff or a gumshoe of sorts. If not - he probably resides in some saloon that was there before Grillby’s came around, mostly attending the bar.  

Semi has a strong love for little tinkers from the surface. He especially loves neon signs, of course, none of the signs that ended up in Waterfall are working.. 

He falls relatively early, I don't think Paps was more than a toddler. was it the illness or was it a human - up to debate. 

When i first doodled him, i thought that Semi and Gaster met after the kids were already in the picture, with the first one separating from the previous relationship. And after Semi’s death Gaster would take them under his wing.  But nah, i’ve decide that making some other lady skeleton just to ditch her would be boring and cruel, so instead i now think Gaster and Semi are both biological fathers. (They’re all made out of magic, we don’t need to logic our way through this one) 

All of the family are the dorkiest idiots you’ve met. Don’t let the exterior fool you. 

Semi is not an exception, he absolutely loves using the kids as ragdolls, not in a cruel way, just making little jokes to make Gaster laugh after a long day at work. 

Gaster frequently takes kids to work. Usually just Paps, since he’s younger and he doesn’t fully believe a nanny can take care of him. But leaves Sans at  home with a babysitter just fine. After Semi falls through, he starts taking both of them, beginning his never ending bring your kids to work day.  Papyrus still gets quite sleepy whenever he’s in a lab visiting Alphys. 

I totally did not make Semi into a sheriff because i misread "serif" too many times.

Things i haven't posted... as a treat for getting me to talk about my old man yaoi couple pftppft

First ever doodle of Semi!.. not much different from what i later redrew, but i think it's funny.
