“Stars… They’re… they’re really bright. They are beautiful. Like… the sparks. White sparks. But the sparks die away instantly, and the stars… They keep on shining. Before now, when we used to live on the Surface, monsters would whisper their dearest wishes to the stars".
“You, too?” – suddenly Sans asked from the corner of the room.
“Yeah”, – Gaster nodded without turning at him. – “And the stars would glimmer in the sky and listen to me…”.
“What is the sky?” – Papyrus asked. – “I can hardly remember what it’s like”.
“The sky? It’s…” – Gaster paused. He knew that his brother didn’t need the “scientific” answer. – “Well, you see, it’s just an absence of ceiling. When there is no ceiling”.
“How come – at all?”
“Yeah. Dark infinity… With millions of stars in it”.
Papyrus gave a long sigh, having sank back against the pillows, and stared at the ceiling – as if it really wasn’t there.
“This is… fantastic, Gaster. You know, I feel envy. You remember all that… You’re happy”.

Background Headcanons

itsladykit:

I’ve been meaning to make this post for a while now, but I was talking with @ollie-oxen-free, @crushingonsans, and @queenofbiscuits on Discord tonight about incredibly bizarre headcanons, and I was finally motivated to actually write it.

Before I begin, though, I would really like everyone to go read “Replacement” by ReaderRose. It is not only the reason I even started playing with this idea, but I also really don’t want to spoil the fic. So go read it. Right now. It’s less than 2000 words, and totally worth it. But mind the tags. (Here’s hoping @drundertalescum doesn’t mind me using their work as a building block for my headcanons….)

Keep reading

This was actually so interesting to read, and it made a lot of sense too! I might return to this for my own characterisations. I have to admit, the P1, S2 stuff confused me for a moment (it felt a bit like maths, which I’m terrible at) but I got there in the end.

Also, STRONGLY recommend reading that ReaderRose fic. It was amazing! (Read the warnings though). Thanks for putting this together, Kit!
