Okay, this is just for Typical Rus, because this got long. I’ll make another post for Atypical Rus.
How I feel:
Ooh. Took me a long time to like this boy. Because he’s kind of an asshole, and he doesn’t dven have a Fell-verse excuse.
And I had a lot of fandom salt because he was always the one used as a foil for Edge. Always the “perfect” bro/lover for Red, in comparison to the abusive edgelord. Despite often being an asshole himself.He’s still not as interesting to me as the Fell boys—which is true of the Tale-verses in general—but I’m coming to appreciate him more and more. The thing is, he is a good foil for Edge—but he doesn’t have to be the pure good beanpole, and Edge doesn’t have to be the bad guy. They’re very different, but they’re complimentary.
So. I guess I’m saying I like him because of the way he relates to Edge.
Who I ship:
Edge. I don’t think I really like him with anyone else. Tale-verse/Tale-verse doesn’t do much for me, and neither does Lazy/Lazy. That really only leaves Twist and Razz. I like him with Twist? But not as much as I like Spicyhoney. (I can really say the same for Cash and Slim.)
And I do not like him with Razz. That’s a bit of a NoTP for me, unless you want to make it noncon. I’m down for most noncon with him, frankly.
BroTP:
Red. I’m not really big on romantic Honeymustard, but platonic is lovely.
Unpopular opinion:
…I don’t really like the “Sans but tall” characterization. He’s his own character, his own person, and I like to see that explored.
Ideas I want to explore:
Soul stuff with Edge. I’m itching to explore that.
And I have a really awful, awful preg horror Papgore fic I want to explore with him. Probably gonna post in October because it is dark af.
Non-con with Rus is always good. I’m looking forward to your plans for him!
