Ask Grillby Masterpost!

---

-CURRENT STORY PROGRESSION-

Grillby has just opened up about his partner's mysterious disappearance and the uncertainty surrounding his relationship with Sans and Papyrus. He's pretty sure they're his and his partner's sons, but they don't seem to remember him at all! It's pretty difficult for Grillby himself to remember, but he has some fuzzy recollections of his past with the three of them. Perhaps some prodding will jog his memory?

Mod: @sunn-mechanic - Any Pronouns

Tags:

#asks - Self explanatory, it's where all the asks are.

#ooc - Out of character posting, for when I, the mod, need to say something.

Things of note:

-> This is intended to be a more lighthearted ask blog, we won't get into heavy angst very frequently, if at all.

-> Timeframe is Pre-Canon! Asks about Frisk and all that comes with them likely won't be answered. Sorry in advance.

-> Wartime!Grillby asks are more than welcome!

Answers on those will be influenced the SiB Timeline over on my main blog, which is currently under development. [Link]

This means several OCs will be mentioned, as well as many headcanons. I try to keep it somewhat vague though, since Grillby won't just tell you things about his life that you'd need lots of context for. You're basically all strangers he's having conversations with.

-> I am a Grillster shipper, asks containing other ships will not be answered. I stick to my guns.

-> Please keep the asks SFW.

-> I try to queue posts for every Friday.

I'm forgetful though :,)

Tbh I made this as a joke and I've never done anything like this before, so! Things will update as we go.

updated the pinned, since i'm starting to lean into more specific, personal headcanon territory. Plus i added a current plot summary, since we have that now, and I don't know that everyone who comes in will scroll all the way back for all that context :v

Would you be okay to share any fond memories about you and your partner? You don’t have to!

And if no, any other good memories you would be willing to share?
