Could I ask for number 1 for the papyruses? Papyri? The skeles names papyrus.

1. What is one word to shut them up?

Okay, I was seriously struggling to come up with just one word for this, so I’ve done “a phrase” or a “conversation topic”. I hope that’s okay. (Also, I borrowed Twist again. Sorry Kit.)

Papyrus

Puns. Any puns. He might make a loud exclamation of disgust, but more than likely, he’ll go very silent and just glare. (This is true of many of the non-lazy Papyri).

Edge

So much as mention Edge’s LV, and he’ll go become silent and withdrawn (especially if he’s close to the person who brought it up). It’s a particularly sensitive subject if he’s had a bad day (and perhaps even gained some EXP). He doesn’t like talking about it outside of work. He’d prefer to pretend it doesn’t exist.

Stretch

The boy likes to talk, but there is one reliable way to get him to shut up–compliment him. He doesn’t know what to do. He turns into a wide-eyed baby deer in headlights. This is significantly effective if it’s a compliment on his physical appearance. “Nice jeans, Stretch.” ……. O.O

Slim

Honestly, it’s getting Slim to talk that’s the problem. He’s silent most of the time anyway. So, I’m cheating. I’m going to say that the way to get him to actually start talking is to bring up music (yes, I’m totally stealing Kit’s headcanon that Slim likes music. I love it. Piano Boy.). Even if it’s something as simple as his favourite genre or band, he’ll immediately open up if you take an interest.

Cash

His brother. (I have a whole set of headcanons for Cash’s relationship with his brother, but I won’t get into it now, or we’d be here for hours). I’ll just say this–they don’t have a healthy relationship. I wouldn’t go so far as to say they despise each other, but they definitely don’t get along. So when Cash spends time with his friends (or lovers, or enemies) he doesn’t like bringing his brother into the conversation. Avoid topic at all costs.

Twist

(Sorry, I’m stealing Twist for a shitpost moment). “Beans.” No one knows why, but as soon as you say the word “beans” around Twist, he falls completely silent, and won’t speak until you say the word again. It’s his “jinx word”.

19 – For all the Papyrus-es. (Twist included, lol.)

19. Do they consider themselves ugly?

No, they’re all beautiful!!!!!

(Serious answer is beneath the cut.)

Papyrus

Classic Papyrus is pretty confident in his appearance–but that’s mostly because he puts so much effort into it, that he knows he must always be looking great! With that said, he would feel pretty self-conscious if someone put him down for how he looked (be it his choice of clothing, or the complexion of his bones). Papyrus likes to please people, and hearing that someone finds his looks distasteful would almost definitely hurt his feelings. (He is very good at bolstering his confidence back up however. And if he’s feeling particularly unhappy, he might buy himself a new accessory as a means of comfort.)

Edge

Edge doesn’t consider himself “ugly”–but he is very insecure about his scars. He doesn’t like people to see them, and even if he’s in an intimate relationship with someone (or multiple people) he’ll try and keep as many articles of clothing on during sex as he can. I like to think that Edge enjoys dressing in clothes that draw attention away from his scars–deep, rich colours, leather–and, when they reach the Surface, he discovers the joys of using make up to cover them up. (Overtime though, certain skeletons teach him that his scars aren’t something to be ashamed of. But it’s a very slow process, and his hang-ups never completely pass.)

Stretch

Stretch isn’t very concerned with his appearance. Though he likes being told that he looks nice (it’s a surefire way to get him to blush), he doesn’t make much of an effort to make himself presentable. However, his motivation for doing so is largely related to his “if I don’t try, I can’t fail” ideal. If he hasn’t tried, by his logic, he has an excuse for feeling bad about how he looks. (Most of the time though, his physical appearance will only cross his mind when he’s trying to flirt, or when he’s having sex. Much like Edge, he gets self-conscious about removing all his clothes.)

Slim

Slim doesn’t like how he looks. His physical appearance (worn, beaten, bruised) feels too resemblant of how he feels internally, and he doesn’t like displaying weakness. He hides beneath many layers of clothing to keep this ‘weakness’ concealed. And, a lot like Edge, Slim hates his scars. He’s probably not as insecure about them as Edge is, but he prefers to hide them.

Cash

Cash, strangely, kind of likes how he looks. That’s not to say there aren’t things he would change about himself–but unlike Edge and Slim, Cash takes pride in his scars. He thinks of them as sort of ‘victory badges’, and he isn’t afraid to flaunt them. Much like Slim though, Cash doesn’t like how ‘frail’ he appears. Given his low HP, Cash has that brittle look about him, and he worries that it makes him an attractive target for free EXP. It’s why he glares so much.

Twist

Twist (I’ll call him “my” Twist, since I’m not too sure about your headcanons for this, Kit) isn’t overly concerned with his physical appearance. He might “incidentally” wear clothes that accentuate his best features, or “unintentionally” stand in a certain way while he’s flirting that reveals just a sliver of his gorgeous ribcage–okay, Twist is pretty proud of how he looks. He might pretend not to put effort in, but he secretly loves flaunting the best aspects of his body. He could probably withstand a few jabs at his appearance, but it might kill his confidence a bit (depending who the jab comes from. If it’s Cash, he doesn’t give a fuck.) I will say that, in the past, Twist may have been a little ashamed of his scars, but these days, they’re so much a part of him, that he barely notices them anymore. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that he hates them, but… he’s not really proud of them either. Not all of them, at least.

insanelyadd:

We were talking about how Sans is frequently made the sad loner in fan works with Papyrus being the popular boy, always hanging out with one of his 50,000 friends.

In reality there’s a joke in game about how well known Sans is, while Papyrus actually says out loud “I DON’T EVER WONDER WHAT HAVING LOTS OF FRIENDS IS LIKE.” which is. An obvious lie. Why do people think he’s being sincere there?

lazy-hazy:

Here are my takes on the different Papyruses, all accompanied with very rough DnD personality backgrounds and all :,3c

I’m lightly changing how I draw a few things with them (Hickory’s and Edge/Cyrus’s mouths for one) and going on to give some new names/nicknames to these good skells.

Someday I’ll do the Sanses, but this literally took many hours to do just these four, so I kinda should hold off until like, the next weekend.

Tho uh yeah, I did these because fuck it, might as well?
