#killer in stage 1 could be very easily blown off by dust just as easy as he could be attacked or his offer accepted | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

ran out of tags so this was cut short but.stage 1 ily… i want to learn more about you i think you’re so neat… i want to give him a nice sandwich. anyway uhhmm i don’t know much about stage 1 so this might be off but whatever freedom of speech 🇺🇸🦅

the idea of stage 1 trying to warn and protect the others in the gang from himself makes me a little sad. im picturing him wringing his little hands together all nervous and afraid after he offered them something—food, a safe place to sleep, something, trying to make up for anything he remembers or thinks he remembers doing in Stage 2 (even if the things he remembers were a dream, he can’t really tell if it was real or not) —and them not knowing what is going on with him or if they can trust him at all. last time they saw him he looked different and he definitely didn’t care about anyone but himself.

and like, depending on how they react to him—he could come to desperately cling on to this one fragile connection outside of his programming and maybe there’s hope for him even if he doesn’t think it’ll last, but if they reject him or react with indifference or hostility it could send him deeper into dissociation—or even trigger Stage 2 as a defense mechanism

#sniffles. goddd stage 1 under nightmare’s reign is so sad #like killer overall is tragic as well like dude. he is so Fucked up thanks to bitchass motherfucker 1 and bitchass motherfucker 2 over there #but like. stage 1 is so overall different from 2 that it would be jarring for everyone else #especially given everyone around him have trust issues as their middle name to some extent or another #horror like fully canon or near fully canon horror would not accept any offers i think #everyone he’s known except papyrus have betrayed him in some way or another at least in his eyes #and killer has given him no reason to trust him in the first place #cross would be more inclined to accept. he doesn’t know killer well enough to build any firm opinion on him yet. he finds killer creepy and #weird and wishes he would stop messing with him like a cat with a mouse it’s about to eat.#but all in all cross can be trusting to the worst of people and while he is very wary he would probably accept. i think killer would be #less violent to him and more poking and prodding and trying to figure this guy out. find every line of dialogue in this entirely new game #or something idk. i think cross would like stage 1 but not understand the stages at least not well for a good while. so he would be confused #on the switchup on both ends. i think he would also be more inclined to try and do something for killer in turn because his character is the #type to easily feel indebted. depending on what stage killer is i think how he would go about cross’ perceived debt would be wildly differen #sorry this is mildly incomprehensible and probably wrong my bad gang #dust would be a mix. it really would depend for him.#dust is mentally unstable and his opinions of killer would likely change frequently enough depending on multiple factors at the time #killer in stage 1 could be very easily blown off by dust just as easy as he could be attacked or his offer accepted #dust is not stable in any sense of the word. he is easily irked and have bouts of paranoia and distrust and his perception of reality can #change at times. killer in stage 1 would be something he reacts to differently. this especially depends on if he’s ever seen stage 1 before #i dont fully remember (and would like to find out) how nightmare reacts to killer in stage 1 when he’s still actively in NM’s domain #not outiside of it or in another au. i don’t fully remember if killer in stage 1 is something he can tolerate as long as there’s no threat #of killer escaping but i assume not?? no fucking clue there #this has so many assumptions because i do not know much about killer #it’s finally the day wick makes a bad and uninformed take #if im wrong thoufh about things i would like to learn cause killer is so interesting to me….the guy ever #i think stage 1 and cross could be friends (or allies or this weird codependent thing or Something). but that also might just be me clinging #to any crumbs of kross i can get like a madman. cross in general though as i mentioned in an earlier post is a lot more of a blank slate #he has a lot more empathy than dust or horror because he hasn’t endured what they have. he has a higher moral code for himself as well #he doesn’t *like* nightmare either. i think he would like stage 1. stage 1 might like cross too because while he’s reactive hes not hostile.
