okay but consider and think about how many of the boys from the AUs likely have severe PTSD or trauma-related disorders like DID or OSDD or some sort of disassocation?
like i headcanon killer's stages to be OSDD-related, even though I know it's not canon
I mean Fell has to have PTSD from being underground, but i barely ever see the representation of just how much this can effect people's lives in the majority of the fic i read and it's usually pretty... sucky, actually
These boys are Not Okay and I don't plan on portraying them as Okay, because you can't survive through all of that and come out perfectly fine
I mean I wouldn't be surprised if seeing a human almost immediately triggered a flight-or-fight response for Dust because the only human he ever saw was The Kid and That Kid fucked up his life and his existence
I think that sometimes the food Horror's eating tastes like ash, even if he never ate what the other's ate
I don't think he and his Papyrus can even look at meat without getting triggered
I don't think Killer likes to make deals at all. I think the image of any human reaching out to him or offering him their hand would make something in him panic. I think he'd flinch back when faced with a handshake, no matter who it was
I think Classic absolutely despises the feeling of deja vu- because he's felt it so many times before and only has a faint recollection of the resets before him (the more there are the clearer they become to him)
