#sans au headcanons

[scribble-brain-aced]

what if ink’s body just. warped sometimes. sometimes he’s anatomically inaccurate because a young artist somewhere just can’t figure it out. guide lines flicker across his body. sometime he has four fingers and sometimes he has five. his eye gets wonky sometimes. are his fingertips pointy or round. sometimes he touches paper and there’s a faint smear of graphite for no reason.

[nosleepgummitato]

I like the idea of Dream being, er. . . How do I put it?

Like I see a lot of dainty and sweet, innocent Dream.

I just want to see him be an old man. Like, i wanna see him complain because you forgot to put sugar in his Tea. I wanna see him kin Nightmare a bit, and it makes you think,

"Wow. These guys really are brothers, well I'd be darned."

I want to see Dream learn how to use modern technology, scrolling through the channels on the TV, grumbling on and on about how he can't find anything good.

I want to see him lose his cool and be fighting with Nightmare and realizing it's draging on too long and just giving up being like "You know what, I'm done- no, nonono, I just can't with you."

I wanna see him cook. I bet if he learned how to cook he'd be really good at it. Making a stake, medium rare, with the most scrumptious sides you've ever seen in your life, Horror will escape the castle to have dinner with this man and Dream with ease all the information about the bad sanses with his cooking skills on Horror.

I want him to drink wine, every other night. Quality red wine. I headcanon Nightmare drinks a lot of wine. The apple never falls far from the tree I guess.

Get it cause they're the apple twins, and they- they have an apple tree. . .

Not funny? <:0 Okay. . .

Ink sans headcanons!

Disclaimer: I don't claim anything to be canon. Although, I tried to make sure it didn't conflict with canon for the most part. Erm, I also didn't check the tag before I made this, so of any these are canon/popular hcs i didn't know before making this.

Ink has something similar to a bag of holding tied to his belt. He picks up little trinkets in the aus he visits (something small, of course, like a flower!) It can hold an endless amount of objects. It also stands as as way of reminding him of where hes been and who he's met! he puts any gifts he gets there as well.

He has this weird ability that if you point at something he knows the exact hex code and color name it is. Why? Not even he knows, but it may be a creator giving him knowledge somehow thing.

For his paints? They all taste a little different. They taste like, something? But the exact flavor is so vague it's "hard for him to describe". If anything, they taste like a whole bunch of flavors at once. A little overwhelming to the palate. They all differ in sensation as well, fizzy, smooth, milky etc.

(more yapping under the cut)

Consistency wise, they both smell and have the thickness of acrylic paint. Specifically that kinda watery acrylic paint you can get for cheap at a store (like apple barrel).

Each of his vials has three dosages. One vial is like daily usage. But they can sometimes run out unevenly depending on how bad/good that day is (ex: on an extremely bad day, he has to take more of a positive emotions) so he had extra markings to "top off". Given there's no consistent time frame hes in, he just takes them whenever he wakes up. [ note: this particular headcanon was partially inspired by @/the-local-eldritch-microwave headcanon lol ↓]

He can actually last maybe about few days without his vials, but his emotions just become duller after 24-48 hrs. Taking a sharp decline after about 72 hrs. Their mobility and mental health declines with it as well, so he'd rather not wait for the decline to start! haha unless he got stuck in some situation where he had no choice!!! :D haha

He tried chugging all his vials at once for experimentation! He vomited everywhere. He'll not be attempting that again. Too much at once...

He has a reallllyyyy long scarf so he has enough room for all of his notes. It drags behind him and also dramatically blows behind him when there's a draft. It tracks stuff in it, due to its length. The bottom of his scarf is all colorful because of all the crap hes tracked in it! LOL

If he ever needed it, he'd add more fabric to the end for more notes. I guess eventually it would get cartoonishy long. At least, until it became completely impossible to manage.

On that topic, hes actually quite messy. Although, its more in a "organized chaos" sorta way. He knows where everything is, even if you don't. hes also MESSY not dirty very clear distinction!

In my mind the reason Ink would have a gap tooth in my version is when he was a "sketch" his teeth were more uh implied? So when he's born (how the hell would you word that? conceived? idk) he now has a permanent gap tooth.

[always-sleeepy-headd]

DreamBerry Headcanons!!!!

They're dumb, like really dumb about how they communicate with each other 

Dream and Swap are attached at the hip, they're always together. some people (Nightmare) may call that codependence but they just work better together! They swear!

They're a bad influence on eachother but in the sense where they want to impress each other with something dumb but manage to freak the other out.

Ink didn't know they were dating until they got engaged.

In most of my Dreamberry AU ideas they're engaged and couldn't get married because of the war and stuff sooo

I feel like I could do a really good truce AU with this concept, where like no one knew and it's just really fluffy and cuteness. (I don't write fluff like ever so it might be a challenge to add no angst lol)

They both have some unsolved mental problems that neither of them can manage to fix very well lol but they manage when they have each other (So cuteness)

Ink is constantly third wheeling and doesn't even realize it, Swap and Dream don't mind it much though lol

They aren't as physically affectionate as they think they are, neither of them are particularly avoidant of touch or crave too much. (That is until Dream gets his hands on the wine.)

reading this they sound a little boring but they're like the best power couple ever like they work so well.

Their codepenace is actually bad though, being without each other is stressful but imagine what would happen if one of them were to be seriously injured or even killed in battle, the other would lose their shit. 

That said their relationship doesn't really seem obsessive or possessive on the outside but they feel that they're just an extension of each other and losing one of them would be like losing half of themselves.

Dream is more possessive than obsessive, he isn't crazy about it obviously but again, the thing where if Swap got horribly hurt he would be fully capable of killing whoever did so in the moment.

Swap is more obsessive, again, you wouldn't even be able to notice, but he has Dream's schedule memorised and will spy on him even going as far as to stalk him around.

They joke fight like, a lot but people can't tell they're joking

So basically people think they like hate each other lol 

[stoned-frog]

Alright @killouz and all sans au maniacs, get ready for....

✨🌙Introduction to my Night’s family AU✨🌙

aka what if Nightmare, Target, Horror and Dust were all a big (f-ked up) family In the detailed posts I made some color-coded highlights so it can be read better(at least for me), but let me know if it's distracting for you ^^

Nightmare’s gang- bad Sanses The stars- star Sanses Target- just Killer but I changed his name

- my Nightmare’s aura headcanons are canon it this- link

- Passive Night and corrupt are the same person, more on that later

- Target got rid of Chara like in his good ending but works for Night like in the bad ending. He’s still meeting up with Color but living with the gang just grew on him and Nightmare is actually a nice person that gave him a home, acceptance and a life he can somewhat enjoy with friends.

- Dust’s Phantom Paps is a real ghostly presence (I have a good explanation I swear)

- Horror can still visit his AU, or rather just his Papyrus, to provide him with necessities, he can’t take him in, both for safety reasons and that Horror’s AU can’t lack more and more characters, might be an AU balance thing or a pact with The Stars 

- order in which the gang joined is Target, Horror and lastly Dust.

- every Sans that joined is the 1st one so all relationships developed from the very beginning 

- Nightmare is still his scary self, sometimes showing his anger issues but he never hurts his gang, he can be strict, loud and scary but he cares about his 3 idiots more than anything. He takes care of their well being, both mental and physical to his best abilities. He knows he’s superior to them on some level but he doesn’t abuse it, he respects them working to help him stay powerful and stuff.

detailed headcanons: Nightmare Horror Target Dust

[the-fabled-void]

Sanses sorted based on if they're cat- or dog-coded:

Cat: Classic, Geno, Sci, Dust, Dream, Nightmare, Ink, Error, Lust, Outer, Color, Post, Reaper

Dog: Horror, Swap,

Both: Fell, Cross, Killer

Nightmare headcanon

do you think Nightmare had gotten all of his furniture custom made out of the wood of his mother? cause to be fair there is just a stump left so maybe after all of the apples were eaten/destroyed the rest of the tree was just left to sit there after being cut, but years later when nightmare came back to his sense(with dream still in stone) and all of the villagers were gone/dead he would take the rest of the tree and anonymously get it custom made into all of the things he uses? I think in an au where he feels remorse he would do it out of respect and not wanting any of his mother to go to waste, so no matter what terrible things he may do or how he does so, he will also have pieces of his mother throughout the castle making up his favorite reading chair, his best working desk, a door/window frame that would either be the entrance to his own room or captivate the best view in the castle because he wants every part of his long lasting life to be connected to her in someway dead or alive. When his boys move in that obviously means some more furniture gets added to accommodate but no matter what nobody sits in Nightmares chair but nightmare or no one gets to sit at his desk and although they think the boss is just way too possessive of some things but only Nightmare will know the importance of his furniture Cause when he sits in that chair drifting off in a book he momentarily feels as if he is sitting under his mothers branches again always reaching but never touching. And when he is in front of that perfect view of the moon with her framings he feels as if his mother is watching him and dream stargaze again, pointing out all of the brightest stars. I also think that during the truce dream would be the only other person allowed to sit and stand in these same places and dream would probably cry finally having something more then a stump to remember her by(even if she was just a tree) and the picture frame made out of the scraps of what was left of her would old a photo of the brothers together, finally reunited in a full family picture once and for all.

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND IN A MUCH DARKER AU, Nightmare would probably do it out of pride and bragging rights as he controls more and more of the universe, taunting dream with it and sitting on her bark as if she was nothing, and disrespecting everything she ever stood for to finally prove that once and for all he is better and sooner or later will own the multiverse, the same way he owns her(but not in a weird way, like in a dark: i own one of the last things of your childhood and i will make you wreath in pain and watch as i ruin every last part of it sort of way)

anyways this popped in my head when drawing some Inkmare and i had to share

[spookyyew59]

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE ARE HEADCANONS AND ARE MY PERSONAL OPINIONS‼️‼️

THESE ARE THE HEADCANONS OF WHAT I THINK WHAT KIDS SHOWS SOME AU SANSES WOULD’VE WATCHED‼️

I made them because of this thought I had here

(the photos of the headcanons I made in my notes app under the cut)

[bluu3berry]

The store is closed..

STAY STILL ... There is something hiding in the dark

TEHEHEHE just me exploring liminal spaces!! I took the cape idea from a moot! ( @mush726 )

Don't repost, reblogs encouraged

@anon-coke @borisboring @scramble-eg @the-second-reason

[scribble-brain-aced]

idea:

the star sanses finally capture nightmare’s gang. they bring them to an empty AU until they figure what to do with them. put them in jail? redeem them?

until then, the gang is separated, so that they can’t form an escape plan, so that they can’t influence each other. putting them in the same room together is too dangerous.

except the stars don’t realize they NEED each other. they don’t realize that they literally can’t function properly without the help of the others.

dust can’t be sure what’s real or fake without asking someone for help.

killer can’t work up the motivation to take care of himself without someone nagging him.

horror can’t handle the pain, or the brain fog without someone there to help, or at least to be quiet company.

cross can’t handle being left without a purpose, without someone for him to protect and love and be with.

nightmare tries to act normal, but he can’t handle being alone without someone to be with and cling to.

the stars could help them, but the gang is so tightly knit together that they’re practically completely co-dependant.

is it a ploy, or a trick? is this just a plan to get them back together? the stars, being unsure, don’t fall for it. they leave them separate.

and the gang starts to break.

[howlsofbloodhounds]

Was thinking about the things Chara and Killer could’ve done in the pursuit of the vague concept of “something new,”and started thinkin’ about Chara's exploration of various routes in the Underground, particularly during Genocide route.

How they could involve a wide array of horrific and manipulative experiments and scenarios designed to push the limits of what is possible within the game world and to indulge their curiosity, control, and sadistic tendencies.

Psychological Experiments would probably be a big one, after sucess they achieved in creating the obedient weapon in Killer. Things like;

Mind games. Chara could orchestrating scenarios designed to break the spirits of the residents of the Underground, such as pitting friends against each other, spreading false information, or creating elaborate betrayals.

Gaslighting: Chara and Killer could manipulate the environment and events to make specific characters question their sanity, creating an atmosphere of paranoia and distrust.

Memory Manipulation: Using their control over the timeline, Chara could repeatedly reset to subtly alter events, creating different memories and reactions from the residents, testing the limits of their psychological resilience.

And of course, the use of torture and control, using various methods such as;

Physical Torture. Implementing various forms of physical torture on characters, either to extract information, for punishment, or simply for sadistic pleasure.

Emotional Manipulation. Forcing characters into emotionally devastating situations, such as making them witness the death of loved ones repeatedly.

Forced Choices. Presenting characters with impossible moral choices, forcing them to choose between equally horrific outcomes to test their values and break their will.

Such as isolating someone for awhile, depriving them of food and water, then making them chose between killing a loved one for food and water (something likely also done to Killer, helped create an animal in the form of ST3), or keep starving until they dust.

They’d definitely use social manipulation to their advantage, and manipulate the use of social hierarchies. Establishing a brutal social hierarchy where characters must fight for resources, safety, or status, creating an environment of constant conflict and fear.

Orchestrating alliances between characters only to force betrayals later, shattering trust and creating an atmosphere of perpetual uncertainty.

Carrying out punishments publicly to instill fear and obedience, making examples out of dissenters to maintain control. Using Killer as the tool to do it, as a testament of what both of them are capable of.

Biological and Magical Experiments could be an interesting one, possibly even used to further discourage Killer from engaging in anything that’s too “Sans-like” for him to feel stable and safe in—no science for you little dude. Blackmailing or intimidating Alyphs into helping.

Considering what happened with Killer and Chara’s souls, monster fusion was possibly one of the first things they tried. Experimenting with fusing different monsters together to create abominations, testing the limits of their biological and magical capabilities.

Altering the magic abilities of characters, either enhancing them to dangerous levels or stripping them away entirely to observe the consequences.

Introducing new diseases, curses, or magical transformations to observe how they spread and affect the population.

Drastically altering the environments within the Underground, such as creating extreme weather conditions, altering the landscape, or introducing new hazards.

Creating time loops where characters are forced to relive the same events repeatedly, testing their responses and resilience to the repeated trauma.

Manipulating the timeline to create alternate realities with different rules, challenges, or ethical frameworks, observing how characters adapt.

Placing characters in survival scenarios where they must compete for limited resources, testing their morals and survival instincts. Like what probably often done with ST3.

Slowly corrupting characters' morals over multiple resets, turning heroes into villains or vice versa, to see how far they can be pushed from their original nature.

Giving characters opportunities for redemption only to cruelly snatch them away, testing their hope and willpower. This is likely something ST1 had been subjected to before.

Chara wants to drill in that the possibility of change or the hope of redemption is completely useless to have. They cannot change, but they can remain monsters with Chara forever. They’re the only ones who’ll have him, after all.

Manipulating characters into forming relationships (friendships, romances, rivalries) only to break them apart later, examining the emotional fallout.

Creating complicated love triangles or other relational dynamics, watching the jealousy, betrayal, and conflict that ensue.

Exploiting familial relationships, such as siblings or parent-child dynamics, to create tension and emotional distress.

By constantly resetting and manipulating these scenarios, Chara could explore the depths of their power and control over the Underground, pushing each character to their limits and beyond, all while satisfying their curiosity and sadistic desires.

[stoned-frog]

Nightmare's family au- details 4/4

link to main post

Dust

- At the beginning of working for Night he wore Papyrus’ scarf very obviously around his neck, most times to irritate Target, they had a very difficult start with each other. Later on both for convenience and comfort, he started hiding it more, around his arm, in his pocket, somewhere always close but not visible. It was also when he started to come to terms with Target so that was another factor. Just starting out he wasn't trying to befriend anyone, kept strictly to his job, didn't trust anyone besides Nightmare (but it was more respect than anything) but over time became attached and opened up.

- He still has frequent hallucinations, even of Phantom (but his eyes are different and he behaves like canon Phantom Papyrus)

- Hallucinations often lead to panic attacks, it’s already something the gang is used to and they all have a way to calm him down. Dust is always embarrassed about these attacks and when the gang mentions them he can get extremely defensive and tense. He treats it kind of like a form of personal attack on his person.

- He often lightly touches others around him to check if it’s real or opens his phone camera. If that’s not available he asks the gang about it. He’s the least reserved to ask Horror, then Nightmare then Target in that order.

- His voice is the most quiet, just by choice. He can scream but prefers not to, passive aggressive comments are more his thing.

- He likes close physical contact but only from people he already trusts (so just the gang) if he doesn’t know the person all they can get is a handshake.

- Has really bad insomnia. He can stay awake for days and then nap on the couch in the middle of the day. Sometimes Nightmare helps him fall asleep with his calming spell.
