My headcannons for Swap Sans (How I typically play him)
Swap is trying. Really, really, really goddamn hard. He can't always keep up with Dream and Ink (because they're basically gods, and Swap's..just a dude)
He's optimistic, but not to a fault. He still has unpleasant thoughts sometimes, but he can identify and refute them logically.
When overly stressed or upset, he cleans and cooks as a distraction.
He dies. A lot. Enough that he's used to the sensation. Chara and Swap!Papyrus (as well as the rest of his AU, to an extent) are aware of what he does, and Chara knows that..well, if he doesn't come back, then they need to rewind a little.
Swap was kidnapped by Error, but the Stars were able to save him before he was corrutped. He's good friends with Error, and that's how he first met Dream and Ink.
Him and Error 100% have tea parties where Error spends the whole time talking shit.
Swap is incredibly competent. He was already a good fighter when he joined the Stars, but after years of working with them, he's really good. (Chara was wide eyed when they saw him properly fight instead of just having his attacks get stolen by annoying cat…)
He hates smoking and WILL smack you if you smoke inside.
He has nightmares a fair amount, and often gets up and works instead.
Sometimes he can get a bit overwhelmed. There's so much to do, and taking any form of break is just another second someone could be suffering. He's aware of this and is working on it.
"Everyone can do the right thing if they just try."
Still loves puzzles and would crush u in a rubix cube tornument.
He just wants everyone to be safe and happy. That's all he wants. And he's determined to make it happen.
Good friends with Cross, Dust, Classic, Geno, Dream, Ink, and Error. (He also gets them all gifts for Gyftmas)
