in late 2015 undertale fucking bit me and i’ve been infected ever since. i rlly like papyrus and also all AUs that ever existed
call me bones. my pronouns are in your heart and soul
Do not repost my art. If you see my art anywhere outside of tumblr*, I'd strongly appreciate if you request its removal, or tell me so I can do so myself if needed. I only post my art to this website.
* Using it for profile pictures is fine, as long as you ASK FOR PERMISSION beforehand and credit me in your bio / pinned post.
Proshippers & folks who align with them, please leave me alone. Y'all have not been kind in the past and I don't tolerate it anymore. Blocking w/ sideblogs is a pain that staff won't fix, so all I ask is to please stay out of my space just as I stay out of yours. Thank you.
other blogs, commonly used tags, & other semi-relevant links under the cut. so click read more if you wanna make the post reeaallly looonggg
@spingtail
👆my main blog, basically just reblogs but might have an original post once in a blue moon
i mostly use tags for yapping & nothing else, which is to say i don’t tag triggers or spoilers over there at all, so maybe use caution if that’s something u care about
💥bonetrousledbones
👆literally just a link to this blog’s desktop theme bc i like it a lot & not enough people are ever gonna see it
but i paid $10 for it so You're Gonna See It
💥also if you scroll down the sidebar & click the "navigation" tab you can read everything in this post w/ significantly better formatting 😳
💥💥it's also 100% compatible w/ the mobile browser & has a functional dark/light mode. By The Way.
@ask-the-bone-boys
👆my ask blog, which i’ve had since 2018 & what the AUs i talk about are usually for (tho i dont talk abt them as much anymore bc ppl have gotten SO annoying abt AUs 💔)
whenever i talk about "atbb," this is what that is!!!!!!
imagine if papyrus had everything going wrong literally all the time. now multiply it by 4 and that’s basically what’s going on here
also here's a big infodump about it lol
the time of ask blogs has passed so the blog itself isn’t active anymore BUT i AM rewriting it into a fanfic series👇
[series on ao3 so far.] it's mostly oneshots but there are some multi-chapters too here & there
also feel so so extremely free to ask me about it at literally any time. i love talking abt it a lottttttt <333
final thing: i really like angst & you Will be able to tell. i try to tag any triggers i can think of & don’t mind adding more if asked, but this is just a big general warning. lotta fucked up stuff happens lol
@mothbbones
👆blog for non-undertale art. relatively inactive bc undertale is all i draw BUT it has some of my ocs & sonic fanart on it
18+ secret blog 😳
if you're interested in this one, send me an ask OFF ANON so i can confirm you're an adult, and i'll give you the url!
mostly just for being really cringe & rambling a lot about my fic. 18+ headcanons, selfcest, & art sometimes. occasionally spammy & overall way more disorganized than this blog lol
common tags (excluding fandom/AU tags):
#trousled rambles <- basic text posts
#trousled arts <- all of my art (excluding wips bc i dont tag those </3)
#trousled dumb <- jokes n shitposts. but also just vibes tbh lmao
#trousled reblogs <- reblogs, believe it or not
#awesome art that i adore <- fanart/gifts for meee ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
#skeletal speculations <- random ut theories & analysis
#atbb <- posts about my ask blog / fic
NOT listing each atbb character tag since this is already long enough, just look at the tags for this post here- it has all of em & the post itself (kinda) says who's who.
the main ones are Russ (undertale), Edge (underfell), Stretch (underswap), Fluff (swapfell papyrus), and Karma (swapfell sans)
assume every named skeleton is another papyrus unless stated otherwise lol
other places that i sometimes do stuff and things:
youtube (livestreams & speedpaints once in a blue moon)
bluesky (for whenever tumblr finally goes down the shitter)
twitter (occasional retweets & me being annoyed at the current fandom)
if i spend several hours painstakingly drawing a building and meticulously editing the text pixel-by-pixel to make it look right when stretched out i think it should Not end up with godawful blurry compression that makes it look borderline ai-upscaled but maybe i shouldn't expect so much from a game that cost Sixty American Dollars
papyrus really confronts a serial killer, fully prepared to stop them by force if necessarry, and starts his speech that's meant to convince them to turn around with "ok so first of all you're just fucking weird"
the fact that it can work is even funnier from frisk's perspective actually. middle schooler gets called cringe once and immediately halts their killing spree

i need everyone to take a moment to think about the sheer amount of textures on papyrus's skull. do you know how many fucking products he puts on that thing
FINALLY got around to redoing my old underswap napstablook / napstabot / dapperbot design :> i like them a whole lot. napstablook has never seemed very interested in being corporeal so i wanted to push the ghost element really hard, which was a lot of fun actually !
i think their arc would probably center around not trying to be someone they aren't, or maybe learning to make music just for their own enjoyment instead of for an audience and stepping down from the spotlight. they'd probably go back to being a ghost eventually, but they'd shift to using their remaining platform to help boost mettaton up instead!
so i watch a slightly mentally ill amount of youtube video essays every day and lately i'm noticing that it seems to be getting like. weirdly more common for them to use undertale sound effects. like i'm already plenty used to the occasional OST jumpscare but why did i just hear the hotland elevator opening noise in a video about banned wikipedia editors
i have a friend whose special interest is vocaloid and talking to her about it really puts into perspective just how many vocaloid songs i've learned from the undertale fandom for some reason. we tried to show another friend Drop Pop Candy and had to pass like 4 different sans & papyrus versions before we got to the actual original song
