celelorien replied to your post: What is mob?? Who is Reigan?? I don't understand...
also one of the extremely few shows where i like the dub about as much as the sub, so even if you’re not a reader, go to funimation and watch it online fo freeeeee
this is also true ! the dub is rather great for this series, so that’s an added bonus!
Dearest modmad! Those sorts of noises also drive me up a wall. To solve drippy buckets: place bucket in some kind of tray or other, larger bucket, then drape a towel over the top of the bucket. The towel stops the PLONK noise, and the extra bucket or tray should keep the towel from losing anything over the edges (though uuusually the drippies just soak quietly and politely through the center with a much quieter drip).
oh. my god I needed this information 8 hours ago but thanks I’ll do that if it’s still happening tonight
Hello! You may not remember from way back when, but you gave me permission to do some image editing on your LOZ King lyricstuck to make it into a video... It's been a long time, but it's finally uploaded. I hope you enjoy it, and thank you again for the wonderful art!! post/187711191170/king-legend-of-zelda-yall-i-finally-rescued
Oh, thank you for letting me know and stopping by to send me the link! THIS IS GORGEOUS, OH MY GOD. I’m crying all over again
What about Mrs. Figg? I'm assuming the Death Eaters didn't know she was a Squib set to watch over Harry, but if the Dursleys never took him in properly anyway, did she get relocated or just watch and hopefully wait anyway?
I’d guess that Harry was already gone by the time she moved to Privet Drive, actually.
Auhwheee! Fell in love with the gifsets you reblogged and binged all of the Nijiiro Days anime. I was having a pretty bleh day until then, but now I'm all about this sweet anime. Just a note to say thanks so much for the indirect recommendation!! :3
Glad to hear that you enjoyed it! It is cute/funny and pretty uplifting. :) I’m glad it helped un-bleh your day. Haha. You’re indirectly welcome!
Prompt: soriel, romantic or platonic, coffeeshop setting with sans as the lazy hipster bartender.
Thank you @celelorien for the prompt!
Rating: G
A/N: Today is apparently coffeeshop themed! Since I made the other one a human au, I made this one an au where they are still monsters, but Sans works in a coffee shop in Snowdin and Toriel very occasionally leaves the ruins because, I’m assuming, she has a rampant caffeine addiction.
how did the hipster burn his tongue? because he drank his coffee before it was cool.
Sans stepped back and read over the day's joke. He couldn't help but chuckle at it again. Adding a joke on top of the day's specials had been a great idea on his part, even if when his coworkers showed up later in the day one of 'em would always take it upon themselves to erase it.
He was actually pretty grateful they did that. If they didn't, he might've just left the previous day's joke up, but they made it so he had to find something new every day.
Opening a place in Snowdin that sold hot coffee had been a stroke of genius on his boss' part. Some of the teens that loitered out in the woods started spending more time in town. They had a place to be independent and complain about their parents indoors. Sans just liked that it paid well and the town was small enough that he could slack off.
He settled in behind the counter and zoned out. He could fall asleep standing there, but he was aware enough to notice when the door opened and someone came in. Maybe they would see him sleeping and head out again.
Instead, he heard them walk over to read the board. Everything was quiet, and then a loud burst of laughter woke him so abruptly he fell backwards onto the floor.
"Oh my goodness! Are you all right?"
Sans rubbed the back of his skull and looked up. A monster was leaning over the counter, peering down at him. She radiated concern.
"I am a healer, if you are injured in some way," she said.
"uh, just my pride," he said, laughing. He got up and she was still towering over him. You didn't see enormous goat monsters every day, in Snowdin, or strangers at all really.
"I am afraid that only time can heal that wound," she said. "I am very sorry. I was not expecting to read such a funny joke, and I startled you."
"you like that?" Sans asked. "hey, since you knocked me down, that means you have to hear a knock-knock joke."
"Oh?"
"knock knock."
"Who is there?"
"scold."
"Scold who?"
"s'cold outside. so i bet you want some hot coffee. what's your order?"
She burst out laughing again. This time he could see the pure delight in her expression. "Oh my. You will need to give me a minute. The menu has changed since the last time I was here. And the employees, as well."
"yeah, i've only been working here a couple months." So he was the actual stranger here. She just didn't come in often. He was surprised he had never noticed her around town. She was more than a little striking.
"Oh! I just thought of a joke! I know that yours was a pun-ishment, but would you be angry if I told you one as well?"
"go for it."
"All right. So, a monster went to see the healer, and he said 'whenever I drink coffee, I feel this sharp pain in my eye. The healer said to him, 'you must remember to remove the spoon before you drink it!'"
Sans had to laugh at that one. It was awful. He loved it. "nice."
She ordered her coffee and, unfortunately, took it with her and left. He wondered if he would see her around again. He didn't even have any idea what her name was.

deja brew: the feeling that you've had this coffee before
Two months later, Sans was working (napping) in the back room when a loud, familiar laugh almost threw him out of his chair. He went out to greet his customer.
"Sans!" she said, reading his name off his tag, "I liked the other one better, but I also enjoyed this one."
"thanks. thanks a latte." He waited, smiling, until she finished laughing. "been a while, uh..."
"Toriel," she said. "I am afraid my responsibilities only allow me to leave on rare occasions."
"shame."
"So you could say...I have bean busy."
He loved it. "well, what do you want? why don't you give something new a shot."
"Oh! I get it!"
He loved her laugh.
"I am sorry if I sounded like I was complaining about my duties. You are here to listen to a different 'pour me!'"
There were tears in his eyes.

they say bad coffee is grounds for divorce
"It really is!" Toriel said, laughing. It wasn't with her usual vigor, but Sans figured the joke might not be good enough to deserve her regular laugh.
Sans was slowly getting something for another customer, so he couldn't say hello to her right away. She waited in line, subdued.
He tried a few jokes on her, and she laughed, but eventually she fell silent.
"uh. bad day?"
"Sans," she said. "I am afraid this will be the last time I can come here."
"what's up? sudden coffee allergy?"
"No. There was a monster I trusted to take over my work for me, for a little while. But, last time I returned and they were not doing what I asked of them. I should not even be here now, but I wanted to say goodbye to you and tell the shopkeeper I would no longer be needing her to order snails for me."
"oh." She was just a customer, sure, but he felt genuine disappointment. You didn't meet monsters like her very often -- monsters who sincerely loved bad jokes with all their hearts. "sorry, tori. hey, what about delivery? i could drop something off for you." It was extra work, but he didn't think he'd mind in this case.
"I am afraid I live very far from here," she said. "Deep in the woods."
"well, it depends on where it is. i know some shortcuts out there."
"...by the Ruins."
Did she mean "in the Ruins?" He knew the huge door, but he thought it was kept locked. If he lost his job here, Papyrus would probably make him do sentry work again. "i don't mind going out there."
She shook her head. "I am sorry, Sans. It was...nice to meet someone like you."
He thought about asking her for her number, but he figured he'd just get shot down again. This was a clear forever goodbye. "welp. we barely met, but it was nice."
She shook his hand, and then ordered her last coffee. He was pretty sure the drink was what she was really going to miss.
--
The huge door in the woods was as closed and locked as he remembered. Sans wasn't sure why he was out there. Maybe there was a lingering curiosity about Toriel, even months after she had said goodbye.
He tucked the cup of coffee into his coat and knocked on the door. No answer. Well, he was there anyway, so he practiced a few knock knock jokes.
After a few minutes, he heard a very familiar, "Who is there?"
