#they're always the SMUGGEST about how smart they are for being 'above' caring about the handheld games

[isan0rt]

I'm very tired of hearing the "why doesn't Kingdom Hearts cater to ME, a person who doesn't want to have to care about it. Kingdom Hearts should stop rewarding the people who are deeply emotionally invested in it and should instead care only about Me, Casual Fan who only wants to give a shit every 5-10 years or so, what about MY feelings" argument. Jesus fucking Christ. It's been 22 years. Suck it up and go play a Halo then.

Another headcanon done!

4. So, Chara, when they were alive, went to monster school with Asriel and as you could imagine... they were pretty much the worst teacher's pet imaginable. Someone who constantly tells on their classmates for cheating, someone who tells the teacher when the teacher almost  forgets to give homework, someone who will say they know the answer each time, and say so in the smuggest manner possible, and they will help other classmates with homework but they always seem so smug and condescending about it (and most of the time they're not even trying to be)...so basically there are a lot of reasons for Chara's classmates to dislike them. Chara just thinks the others are jealous of them. (Honestly "what, jealous?" seems to be Chara's reaction to many things sometimes including things which no-one should be jealous of).

(And, yes, I am in fact aware that this makes them a whole lot like Berdly and that’s the point. Smug teachers pet, always needing attention, needing to impress… Also goes for the kids relationships with their best friends too. Chara really does also consider themselves to be the knight in shining armour to their poor, defenceless Asriel (They. Are. A. Loser))

Okay, while Chara is adamant that cheating is bad and wrong and you should never do it but Asriel can because Asriel is their best friend. (Which makes the thing of a post-geno Chara being like "why would Asriel think he's above consequences?" rather hypocritical because while it was in a much less serious situation, Chara also acted like Asriel was above the rules). So Chara would find test answers specifically for Asriel's sake without ever looking at them themself, and Azzy and uh...I dunno about how Asriel would react honestly.

Like, I don't think he's someone who would think that cheating is something terrible, he might be worried about getting caught, but surely he thinks Chara's too smart to let that happen? Another thing is that does Asriel actually need to cheat? His variety of awards  (in Deltarune) might mean he's at least somewhat academically gifted unless those are all for extracurricular interests or skills. Like art or video games or athletics (okay, Deltarune's narration does say it's poorly drawn but we can't really be sure that's actually an objective fact and not just the narrator's opinion) but personally...I go with the idea that those awards are for the very specific hobbies he's shown to be good at, and while he's not academically bad by any means, but he isn't someone who would devote his entire life to trying (like Chara did) and he's not gonna be on an honor roll if he doesn't so...

So I think he might be happy for the help, content to just breeze through school and focus on what he actually cares about.

Except wait...you can ignore that little tangent because there's no way that Chara wouldn't just give Asriel their answers to copy off. Chara is utterly perfect at all things academic (according to Chara), Chara would never make a mistake and never has and if they ever did, it would kill them on the spot

(So, yeah, you might be realizing that Chara is a whole lot stricter with themselves than they are with Asriel, much more lenient with their idea of perfection but well…Asriel is perfect, he's the kindest person Chara knows, he adores Chara, always helps them out, always hanging on Chara's every word. Asriel is a (figurative) angel, and when an angel falls from the sky, you don't worry about whether he’s good at academics, y'know? Asriel is already such a good person that he shouldn't have to lift a finger to be good at anything else. (and Chara doesn't think he's good at anything else) He deserves all the credit and all the awards just for existing.

Also it basically circles round to being a positive trait again (in Chara's eyes) Chara would hate it if someone threatened their status as smartest person in the room, plus he's smart in other ways, going along with whatever Chara says makes him smart, doesn't it?)

(Oh, and he's royalty, being royalty inherently makes someone perfect. Just like it makes Chara perfect. On a functional, societal level, the Dreemurrs are the only ones that share Chara's status...but let's just say Chara puts waaaay more focus on that status than any of monsterkind or even humanity)

Hey, Do you have any Chara headcanons?

So technically I already have a reblogged post of Chara headcanons. Right here, within the tags. (99+) Chara neutralist squad on Tumblr

However, I most certainly have not run out of things to talk about and so...

I now present Chara Dreemurr headcanons 2: Electric Boogaloo

1. Yes, so as I said before, they have been spotted reading the dictionary cover to cover multiple times and reads english grammar books for fun. It is like they have to use one word literally nobody understands at least once a day or they will figuratively die. And of course, they would be the one to say figuratively every single time they use a metaphor or hyperbole or turn of phrase and they would get genuinely annoyed with anyone who says literally when they don't literally mean literally. Chara is the kind of kid who if someone says "can I", they will say "I don't know, can you?" like an english teacher because it's supposed to be "may I" for allowances. And, Azzy, it's supposed to be "Chara and I" not "me and Chara" ...no-one cares.

2. Something vocabulary related is that Chara absolutely, categorically refuses to swear! Apparently, contradictory to popular belief given that they're an "edgy" character, they think they are far too intelligent, high-class and mature for such gauche and vulgar words (did I mention they're a loser yet?), you see, and they would definitely consider using words that mean almost nothing to be a grave insult to their extensive vocabulary.

This doesn't mean they don't have certain stock phrases they use as exclamations or insults, though, of course. "asshole" or "bitch" becomes "you complete and utter ingrate", "what the fuck/hell?" becomes "What on this good earth/What in the Angel's name?" and "fuck you" becomes "may the angel smite you dead" or "may you burn in hell forevermore" (except that since Chara Dreemurr has proved themselves able to dish out much, much worse insults than "may the angel..." (stuff like "you look horrible, why are you even alive" for example) this might just be more annoyance than genuine hatred.)

So basically, while a normal person might say "Ow! Fuck!" when they stub their toe on something, Chara "Sesquipedalian loquaciousness" Dreemurr starts up an anime villain speech at nothing in particular while Asriel giggles and possibly records in the background. (Because of Asriel's apparent love for anime, he'd probably find his sibling's way of speaking to be the coolest thing ever as well as thinking it makes Chara some sort of uber-genius (note: it does not))

3. Okay so, since they tend to fixate on being impeccable in every way, even for the smallest of things, they can get embarrassed very easily and...very dramatically. Not finding the best word for every situation (particularly if they end up saying something wrong), not getting a perfect score on the test, anyone (who isn't the Dreemurrs) seeing them when their appearance is anything less than completely spotless.

They shall freeze and go completely blood red, they shall squeal and run off to their room. They will lie face down, not making a sound, and stay there for...hours. They will not respond, they will not be consoled. They have recently learnt they're not literally the best at everything ever and no, nothing will ever be okay again.

...They'll be back to normal within a day, though, boastful and eager to impress as ever. I think at some point they do learn that maybe not being perfect isn't the end of the world...eventually. Anyway, heard someone saying that hell exists for Flowey and it is minor inconveniences and that is true but hell also exists for Chara and it is minor embarrassments.

(Yes, I am aware this is very exaggerated, it's just more fun that way)
