in most routes, sans will quietly endure whatever suffering is forced upon him. he can live through the callous murder of his brother, the slaughtering of his friends and peers, and yet he’ll do nothing to frisk but berate them. instead of disposing the human the instant they begin harming others, sans watches and waits, appearing near the end of frisk’s journey only to launch his emotional appeals. he attempts to guilt trip frisk, and by extension, the player, rather than get his own hands dirty.
there is only one exception: the genocide route. only when the situation has become the most dire does sans spring into action to do what’s right. what makes the genocide route so different from an especially violent neutral route? why does sans only wait until the genocide route to fight? continue reading for the reasons.
@ursik-l-in-junk-mind ‘s fused Paps and Fell. Shit, I couldn’t just forget about this wonderful creature with them holding their own hands. Plus, trying new oil brushes.
Hey everyone! These are all the “drabbles” (cough) I’ll be posting over the long weekend. I’ll try to do them in order but that might change! I’ll link them all here as I post them.
Mystery Pairingfor ??? (this one is just me trying to be funny, don’t take it too seriously hehe)
There is a definite trend here. 13 of these ships involve either Stretch or Edge, or both. But hey, I’m not complaining! I love them!
Also, shout out (or call out?) to those people who asked me to pick between two or more prompts (you know who you are). As someone who is terrible at making decisions, you guys caused me a lot of suffering! Hehe, in seriousness though, I don’t really mind! I’ll probably come back to the ones I didn’t do another time, because as soon as I saw them, the ideas started churning.
Campfire scene from Tyrant Tortoise’s SSLL, minus the Landlady,cause everyone has a different image of her.
Also, Hotcat’s Great Escape, because I, for one, would be unable to eat one.
And Ion the robocat is only sort of a stalker.
It’s the camping scene!! I love everything about this, and the little hotcat walking away is beyond adorable.
I think a big part of why I read way more fanfiction than books is that there’s just a hell of a lot less exposition
the first 10 pages of most books are always “these are the main characters and here’s some background on each of them and this is the setting etc etc” and it’s such a fucking hassle getting to the plot sometimes
fanfic is just like “fuck it you know all of this already let’s go”
That’s a really good point.
Same here but there’s actually a point here of well written exposition. Take AUs for example. Even in the most complicated, as-far-removed-from-canon settings we get at most a single paragraph before the actual fic where the author gives us a quick rundown of the rules for that universe. The rest we are left to figure out on our own and it works.
We’re not spoon fed every trivial detail when all we want is to get to the plot. Everything that’s important is said at the moment it is important, not sooner not later. Especially in long fics characters often take on such a unique characterisation that you get to know them all over again but the readers do so organically, in the situations that define those characters as they happen. Same with looks. The fic author generally assumes the readers know what the characters look like and don’t spend paragraphs describing them, and only bring it up when it fits the plot.
I’ve read a few fanfics from fandoms I’ve never been in and surprisingly it still worked out. I had generally a good idea of who these people were, what they did where and why and how they worked together.
Point is, if you’re a writer writing original fiction, pretend it’s fanfic and everyone knows your setting and characters already. That way you’ll only have to add a few details if and when your beta readers mention needing more information and chances are they won’t need a lot.

Bolding this fantastic advice.
Reblogging for the next time I write something original.
This is brilliant. I do a shit amount of world building but been blocked for the past week worrying about details and stuff.
Remember: you can always add in revisions. You just have to write first.
