Herculanum is trying to move into my brain rent free, help! (Tell me more about him plz?)
ah, it's been a while, AMitS my beloved (recently I've had people telling me they're rereading it and it makes me 🥺️🥺️🥺️)
*tries to remember what I've told about Herculanum before*
Ok so, Herculaneum, really likes doing "girly stuff". He likes cooking with Papyrus when the Gills are home, knitting, and he'd be the first to volunteer to clean up around the house. He only acts tough with "tough customers", otherwise he has a grandpa vibe to him. He likes tiny trinkets. Keeps them in his room in the house, he likes them too much to bring around while they're busy being "nomads" and risk losing them after picking up a fight. After you 'acclimate' to the family he probably gifts you some.
He packs a punch, he gets called when an important deal is happening as a bodyguard-type, someone to deal some heavy weight when the opposition decides to try something funny. Everyone in the family has the 'intimidation' factor to them, especially to humans (they find it funny), and Herculaneum would be the one most recognizes as the "tank" or the "big guy".
You could probably make him pick up reading... he's sharper than even he expects, because no one really asks him for "smart" work.
He probably loves board games, and maybe one time asking him to do a puzzle with you helps Papyrus figure out that Herculaneum shares the same interest in an "outdated, inefficient" art. Maybe not as passionate as Papyrus, but now he has someone to talk to about it, other than his brothers who Papyrus can tell is listening to make him feel better.
Oldest child. I think Telo is middle and Chalk is youngest. He has a bit of a softly protective streak, though it doens't show as much because he knows they can pull their own weight around.
Acts kinda like an affectionately teasing older sibling to Sans, even though he's younger. Likes to tease about how small Sans is compared to him, especially if you're around. Sans gets pissed, but gets over it quick. They have the perfect body type to do friendly competition like arm wrestling, where Sans wins most of the time. It doesn't happen often, but if Sans goes out to drink with him, both become calmer than usual.
*computing noises* I need to reread my story to remember some details jhkmhjkm that's all for now
