“Reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster (eg close family member suddenly dies)”

I like to headcanon Cash as being a bit unstable, so the obvious answer here is: lash out. He would absolutely resort to violence as a first instinct. Perhaps trying to take revenge (or just finding someone to blame). I think once his initial anger was out though, he’d go into a bit of an unresponsive state, wallowing in self-hatred and blaming himself for the misfortune (death or otherwise).

I do like to think though, that if it wasn’t his problem (e.g. a close friend or partner is struggling) he would be 100% there for them. Perhaps in his own odd way – I don’t think he’d favour traditional methods of comfort – but he would try his absolute best to make sure they weren’t suffering. I definitely think he’s the type of person with an unending supply of empathy (even if he hides it), and seeing someone he cared about in pain would bring out a very primal protectiveness in him.

Sorry, I went way off the question here, but I needed to go into a bit more depth since I haven’t really delved into Cash’s character much! Thank you, Rhody! ❤

Nah, I love him! I need to explore his character a bit more so I’m going to try and do as many of these as I can. (I’ll probably save most of them for tomorrow though, I’m basically dead.) And Happy New Year!

“Is this person afraid of dying? Why or why not?”

I’ll be honest, I was a bit hesitant to answer this one – mostly because I know there is a lot of Papyrus dialogue surrounding this subject in the actual game, and I’m not as familiar with it as most people, so I didn’t want to misrepresent his character or anything.

But, assuming he isn’t afraid of dying, I came up with a bunch of random headcanons as to why.

So, as most people know, Papyrus is very passionate about his hobbies and ambitions. Wanting to join the Royal Guard, for example, is a major part of his character within the game. So why wouldn’t he be afraid to die if he has so much to live for?

Personally, I like to headcanon that (where the human is concerned at least) Papyrus is more aware of Resets than he lets on. He (mostly) isn’t afraid to die, because he knows it isn’t permanent.

But in cases where the human is absent – or just in general – I like to think that the two things that would scare him most about death would be: 1. Missing out on so many of life’s opportunities. 2. Leaving behind the people he cares about.

As far as number 1 is concerned, I strongly believe that given how selfless Papyrus is, this wouldn’t be a massive issue for him. While he might project himself as slightly egotistical and eager to please and impress, I don’t think ambitions such as joining the Royal Guard are as important to him as he lets on. I think the bigger thing would be number 2 – leaving his friends behind. 

While I’m certain he would have qualms about abandoning the people he loves, I believe that his confidence in their ability to function without him would ease his mind. One of the things I love about Papyrus’ character is how much faith his has in people. I think, even in death, he would feel reassured that his brother and his friends would be alright without him – because he believes in them and their strength to survive without him.

Uh. Anyway. I think you all know what kind of drunk I am now. I seriously can’t stop talking.

Thank you though, Rhody! I’m sorry for getting a bit carried away.

I think most people are asleep right now, but feel free to send me more asks! (From the list or not). It’s about an hour to the new year here, so early Happy New Year’s everyone!
