Papyrus Headcanons 1

queenofbiscuits:

So @crushingonsans was doing this thing with the Sanses (SPOILERS) that has specific questions about certain things for them. I decided, since I’m obsessed with Papyrus, that I’d do it for the Papys. But there’s like 100 of the questions lol So I thought I’d post them in parts as I get them done. Here is the first batch 😀

---

1. What do they smell like?
Papyrus: Summer rain.
Fell: Pine and smoke.
Stretch: Something vaguely sweet and cigarette smoke.
Slim: Like home. Good food, clean atmosphere, cool nights.

2. What is their voice like?
Papyrus: He’s mostly just unapologetically loud. When he’s not yelling (you know what you did, Sans) his voice is a little high, a tiny bit nasally, but it’s pleasant to listen to.
Fell: Rough and scratchy, a little deep but still higher than his brother’s.
Stretch: Smooth and vaguely scratchy, but mostly because he smokes
Slim: Smooth, deeper than Stretch’s but not as deep as Fell’s.

3. What is their biggest motivator?
Papyrus: Helping others and his brother.
Fell: Protecting others and his brother.
Stretch: His brother and the people he cares about.
Slim: His brother. He doesn’t care a whole lot about anything else (at least until they get to the Surface).

4. What is their most embarrassing memory?
Papyrus: This boy does not feel embarrassment. Every wrong is a mistake to learn from.
Fell: Red once found out that he kept his old baby blanket and the book they’d scavenged from the Dumb when he was a babybones, and even though Red never made fun of him he was still really embarrassed.
Stretch: Two words. Drunk singing.
Slim: He doesn’t get embarrassed often, but there was one time with a spider and a giant hole in the wall that he had to explain to his brother.

5. How do they deal with/react to pain?
Papyrus: He works through it, distracts himself with anything else until he can take care of it. He might cry a little, but only a tiny bit!
Fell: Unless his entire arm is chopped off, he probably won’t notice he’s hurt until much later. Other things are usually more important at the time than a measly cut or scrape.
Stretch: It doesn’t matter if all he did was stub his toe, you’ll be hearing about it, loudly, for the next several hours. There will probably also be a lot of cussing.
Slim: He doesn’t feel pain. At all. It’s not that he just doesn’t notice it, or that his adrenaline is pumping so he can’t feel it, it’s that he can’t feel pain. His hand could get chopped off and it would mean nothing.
