Living Castle and Error thoughts!

The castle's hallways are always suspiciously well lit and sparce during Error's visits. No nightstands with elaborate arrangements flowers resting on top under the windows, no suits of armor standing tall and proud, just the occasional sconce, burning bright enough that you can see the corners of the hall.

Error figured the castle always looked like that. It was only after Dust offhandedly mentioned Killer hiding in one of the suits of armor and Cross nearly skewering him when he jumped out at him that he was informed the castle halls are typically decorated.

He brings it up with Nightmare and he simply says, "I told the castle to be hospitable to you, it knows I owe you a great deal."

Error just huffs and goes, "you don't owe me shit... and t-the hell do you mean you told it to?"

"This place has a mind of its own. I figured you'd noticed by now. Isn't the code any different?"

"The fuck do you mean? Your freakish universe is hardly even made of code, that's the only reason I haven't torn it to shreds yet!"

"Hm. Discuss it with the others. I'm sure they can give you more insight than I can."

Error grumbles at him, "I'm not discussing anything with your pet projects, tentacles."

"If you say so. Did you need anything else?"

He completely can't remember now. "No! ... Maybe? Fuck off, I'll be back later."

"Come by whenever, then."

Error totally talks about the weirdness of the castle with the others despite what he tells NM and gets more answers on how it helps them. He realizes the hallways are clear because of his shitty vision and aversions to cluttered spaces. He's a little more grateful that he didn't try to tear this place to shreds before. (He's seriously considered it, especially after a few egregious sins on Killer's part.)

Admitting to you <3

(Tap 4 better quality!)

Everytime I look at this I take it in a be like “Damn did I make this?” Cuz DANG. THE LINES? THE COLORING? THE LIGHTING AND SHADING? THE BACKGROUND? I COOKED.

I didn’t cook with those pillars tho 😭💥

Nightmare saves Horror from the famine and poor living conditions of Horrortale and brings him to the castle. Horror is incredibly grateful, he gives something he views as incredibly valuable - food. Of course, it’s not the best meal to ever be cooked, but it’s edible.

Nightmare initially declined but after Horror insisting he agrees to eat it. The dish wasn’t so bad, but unfortunately, Horror was SO grateful to Nightmare that the amount of positivity subconsciously cooked into the food makes Nightmare feel ill. Nightmare doesn’t leave his room for the rest of the day.

Nightmare refuses to admit it made him sick. He’s fooling no one. Ever since, Horrors made sure not to feel too positively when cooking, and Nightmare started to emphasise the idea guardians don’t need to eat like mortals do, stop worrying. Neither of them have talked about the incident since, but they both remember it every time the sit down to eat

I Was-a Too Late

CW: blood, implied character death(s)

[insert your favorite Mario game over jingle here]

I have nothing to say for myself.

I'm so sorry.

@wahooitsamee @peaches2217 You guys seemed interested, so... enjoy?

EDIT: I have a Luigi version (well, sort of) now too, called He's-a Gone if anyone's interested!

And now that I've become even more shameless, I also have an ongoing comic based on this piece. In case anyone's interested, here's the masterpost.

[comicfizz]

i always found using dust in roleplay hard because his character is a little too complex for me to protray all the bits of his character correctly, or atleast correctly in my head

I love to use all the info i can scrounge up on the dusttale blog because some answers can piece together like a puzzle piece to getting to the core of how his character was intended to be on a base level

-

headcanon time!! because i love that mentally ill man

sorry not sorry for the bad grammar, its midnight

* Dusts thoughts are so scattered around that he ends up spending more time trying to regulate his emotions to the point hes too mentally drained to conversate with others. Of course its not like he has anyone to talk to other than phantom papyrus, but if he were in living somewhere (im using nightmares castle for all my examples) he would never say a word to the others 😭

* Its confirmed that in dusts canon design he doesnt wear papyrus' scarf, but would be on character for him to do so out of guilt. I can imagine that Dust would use papyrus' scarf as another way of regulating his emotions (sorta)

I made up a little cycle of dust for when he murders a monster

pleasure (nsx. 😭) → emotionless → guilt

he has mixed feelings on killing, one part of him enjoys it while the other part of him hates it, usually leaving him confused on how he truely feels about his murdering hoes. Wearing the papyrus' scarf forces him to feel guilt or hold onto what he would deem 'a normal response'

* Dust has night terrors and has probably cried due to them (←canon)

When hes sleeping hes the most vulnerable, i think he would hate the feeling of vulnerability and try to prevent himself from sleeping, using things like coffee or energy drinks (if he has access to them) as a way to keep himself awake

Maybe its insomina? I cant imagine Dust sleeping a lot, especially when he needs to stay on-guard for whenever the player shows up since he wants to get the upper-hand when fighting them

^ even if he lived with the other bad sans' he wouldnt sleep, the events that lead up to who he is now has caused him to be on edge 24/7 and it would be hard for him to relax even if hes in a new / safe environment

im so sorry for the yap session i just love dust sans (please ask for dust sans fun facts im begging i re-read the dusttale blog all the time its not even funny i love dust sans so much i use to regularly have delusions of him) (im okay now)

In reference to an earlier ask by @deltacreeper

The castle would be incredibly confused if one of the boys disappeared. It would try and make Nightmare as comfortable and happy as possible, but it would do things like guiding one of the boys to the missing teammate's room, as if to ask "where are they?" Or remind the other to look for them. It'd also definitely bully Killer or Dust to alleviate some of the boredom and restlessness. (Playing mean pranks like tripping them or getting them lost)

I love the idea of NM sending Cross out to double agent with the stars maybe a year or two after he joins the team. Cross keeps the jig up for about a year, feeding NM and his teammates information that they can use against the stars later... the castle would definitely get grumpy about Cross being gone for so long. It can handle the boys being gone for a week or two, but more than that, and it gets restless. It starts keeping the boys from leaving, getting overprotective and frustrated. Any time the boys are out on the rare kind of mission that lasts a month or so, Nigntmare has to calm the castle and constantly remind it that their mortals will come back safe and sound.

The castle may or may not be slightly attached to its inhabitants.

《Mentions of character death below the cut》

Ohhh the heartbreaking idea of one of the boys dying and the castle just not understanding... Nightmare has been with it thousands of years, of course it wouldn't understand the lifespan of mortals... maybe when it finally grasped that the mortal wouldn't come home again, the hallways are filled with wails and the soft sound of crying almost every night for years after...
