Ooh, asking the tough questions, huh? I’ve been saving this one, since I had to think about it. I think I’ve settled on a ranking, though:
Papyrus
Blue
Blackberry
Sans
Edge
Stretch
Slim
Red
Razz
Twist
Ooh I like this order! The last couple aren’t surprising, but I have to say, I wasn’t expecting Slim to be that far down—further than Edge no less! But I thoroughly support this. (Bless Papyrus, we don’t deserve him)
Lol. Okay. I’ve decided I’m drunk enough to answer this. This is specifically for my Supernatural AU from my first day of Shipmas. Enjoy. MIld NSFW below the cut.
I can’t believe I didn’t connect that Twist liked to collect and hoard things because he’s a dragon – that’s very clever, Kit! (Or, I’m just very slow).
Also, definitely read these, they’re really interesting insights into the character dynamics of this ship. And if for some reason you haven’t already – go read that supernatural AU! It’s an absolutely brilliant piece of writing.
Ooh! Alright, let’s take a look at Twistfell…. (You might know some of this, Fresh, but I’ll try to expand on it a bit.)
Blackberry prefers “unhealthy” foods. Sweets and greasy foods are his mainstays. He specializes in comfort food, particularly mac ‘n cheese, but he’s also a very good baker. (That’s why he’s chubbier than both Blue and Razz.)
Twist is more health conscious, but he’ll pretty much eat whatever Blackberry puts in front of him. Both of them enjoy puns, since neither of them are prone to wearing them out, though Twist is generally funnier than Blackberry.
And…(very slightly) NSFW here…but Twist is submissive in bed. He very much prefers to be controlled and directed. (So much of the time, he feels out of control and uncontained. Having someone else take responsibility is a relief for him.) Of course, you have to earn his trust and submission. He doesn’t just sub for anyone.
Ooh, good question.
Okay. So, Gyftmas is actually pretty important for the Fellbros. They don’t make a big deal out of it. A Tale monster would think they were hardly celebrating. They usually get each other one gift, and they don’t decorate. But, that gift is often handmade or scavenged from the dump. Either way, it’s never a lot—extravagance would only make them a target—but it’s something they know the other will like. A lot of time and love (and care) goes into the selection, so there’s significance there. When they discover the Tale verses, they are (secretly) delighted by all the different Gyftmas traditions. They may play it cool, but internally, they’re both like delighted children. And once they get to the surface? Lights! Multiple trees! Presents! Family and friends! Edge particularly likes baking cookies and making candy for Gyftmas trays, not to mention hosting the celebration. Both of them fully embrace the Tale verse traditions.
Razz and Slim stopped celebrating as they get older. Razz is derisive… and Slim longs for what they once had. They only start to get back into the swing of things (slowly) when they reach the surface. Razz is still resistant…but Slim adores Christmas. Because of the music. He’s enthralled by the idea that there is an entire genre of music dedicated to a single holiday. He hums it. He sings, if he thinks no one’s around, and even Razz can’t help but notice his brother’s enthusiasm. He’s slow to adopt the other Gyftmas traditions, but that first time he presents Slim with a present? Gaze downcast and arms fully extended, as if embarrassed by the whole thing? Priceless.
Awww this is adorable! I can see why the Fell bros would value the holiday – especially in such an awful world where they barely get a moment’s happiness.
And oh no, Razz giving his brother a gift? Too much for my heart!
Thank you, Kit! Good luck for the rest of the night!
You know what I don’t get?
This overprotective Sans stuff. Like, not just protective in actual situations that deserve some form of fear and caution. I mean like the “oh no papyrus smoked a cigarette!! who is responsible for this!?”
Please, go back to Undertale (2015 Video Game) and look at Sans and tell me: does he look like the kind of guy who’s going to be busting down doors because precious babby brobro said a swear? I’ll grant you that Sans can be that threatening kind of protective, but it’s all more likely to be bluster than anything, and I dont see him trying to genuinely snatch his brother’s independence and agency away just because he did something “wrong.” Sans is a supportive brother. Papyrus wants to swear? Shit, man, he’s got all kinds of swears. This can be a bonding exercise and he doesn’t even need to leave his couch! Sharing his encyclopedic knowledge of cursewords with his straitlaced little brother is awesome.
And if he ever saw his little brother drinking, he would probably only enjoy the laughter and the opportunity to play some pranks that a sober Papyrus would be too sharp to fall for. And if papyrus discovers that he cannot protect himself against the same 3 knock knock jokes all night (or he discovers that low effort bone puns are hilarious to his drunk self) well, that might be a totally unplanned deterrent towards further endeavors into drinking.
Sans isn’t going to go breaking into houses and yelling at the King of All Monsters because Papyrus said a “bad” thing.
Where did this characterization come from?
Ooh! I love this question! First, though, I need everyone who hasn’t seen it to go take a look at Cheapbourbon’s First Day of Spicyhoney Christmas, because it’s awesome and very relevant.
This got absurdly long, so it’s under the cut. And…there may be a couple things that are less like headcanons and more like story prompts? I’m sorry.
Felldyne would join in, loud and proud. She’s an alto, her voice rich and resonant. She may or may not be known for being particularly rowdy when she goes out drinking, and the barkeeps that know her also know that it is better to direct that energy in a positive fashion, or there’s going to be a lot of broken furniture in the near future. Starting a round of singing is not a bad way to distract the Captain of the Underfell Guard.
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….)
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!
Still SFW…but there are a few suggestive elements.
Holy crap. Twist as a stripper. Thank you for this.
(And now I need to see Edge in that formal attire.)
I’ve been meaning to make one of these posts for a while (you guys know me, I see people doing things that are popular and I just JUMP ON lol), and who better to do it for than my favorite character? (under the cut, to keep things neat)
Guys, read this. This is some good shit.
