I should've posted this on the actual anniversary (6th) but here it is now! And a full reveal of someone Charby ran into in the darkness...
Undertale:
Why Chara falls in love with Asriel: He was the first person to show her genuine kindness
Why Chara falls in love with Papyrus: He believed in her even when no one else did
Why Chara falls in love with Grillby: He was very patient with her and her wild personality
Any of them would be a wonderful soulmate for Chara.
I love all three, but Charby holds a very special place in my heart because I said, "Hey, what if I paired Chara with Grillby?" and then you guys actually decided to humor me.
Oooh! What headcanons do you have for Horrortale Grillby (or Horrortale in general)? :D
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH………….
I made up my own nickname for him since I couldn’t find a common fandom one, so if anyone wants to use it in their works, feel free to! :D
This is kinda long bc just like Mettafell, I have many thoughts and feelings about this melty boy <3

HorrortaleGrillby/Charby
The lack of magic that’s led to him slowly burning alive also means that it’s very difficult for him to touch others/others to touch him without being burned. He has a little bit of magic left and uses it to try and mitigate those effects; especially for very close friends and lovers, he doesn’t want them to be hurt. So if you touch him and come away with only a small burn, it means you’re very special to him, because otherwise he wouldn’t expend the energy to keep someone from having their flesh literally cooked by his flames. (There are ways to get past this, though given that most of those ways involve magic, they’re few and far between. His S/O is either going to have to be a person who can handle not having a lot of physical affection… or have the patience of a saint.)
He doesn’t speak often for good reason: it’s just too painful. His face is practically frozen in agony by this point, and he’s been holding that expression for so long now that any change in it hurts, on the same level as, say, popping a dislocated shoulder back into place. Instead he opts to just make moaning noises. Those who hang around him for long enough learn to decipher what they mean, though his actions typically speak for themselves.
However, if he has something very important to say, he will brave the pain of speaking. It’s frequently accompanied by ash and soot staining his lips, and his voice sounds absolutely destroyed, but that’s beside the point. This is almost exclusively reserved for tender moments when he manages to whisper, “I love you.” to his S/O.
He is weak, weak, weak. He has enough strength to cook whatever his customers can bring him, and that’s about it. Charby was alive during the war, fought in it, so it goes without saying that he’s closer to the grave than the cradle. Slowly starving to death has only made him more fragile. He could manage to overpower, say, a child, or someone weaker than he is… but if he had to actually fight? Oh, he’d be toast. Any battle other than a brief skirmish type thing would end with him dead.
Absolutely adores music. Before the famine, he used to have a jukebox in his restaurant. Most of the music was old but easy listening. Within the first year or two when the Underground began to run out of food and magic, along with the windows, the jukebox got broken too, and he misses it terribly. To have the air filled with music is something he longs for even though it’s a pipe dream. If his S/O likes to sing, someone who sings often around him… ah, God. That’s be the best thing he could ask for. When he hears music, you can just see his eyes brighten as if he’s remembering an old friend. If he ever regains magic to the point where he can effortlessly touch people without hurting them, the first thing he’s going to do is dance with his S/O ― “It’s Been a Long, Long Time” playing on a loop in the background.
If monsters finally make it to the surface, it’s going to be a huge adjustment. And yet… he’s more excited than anything. Look at all these options for things that he can cook! He would be able to feel creative again, and it would make him happy in a way that nothing during the famine ever could have.
He also serves drinks despite most of them having no magic and therefore exactly zero nourishment. As it turns out, alcohol is a surprisingly potent (if not exactly long-term effective) way to numb the pain of slowly starving to death. He’ll indulge in it from time to time too, and it’s become a habit to do it even when monsters get to the surface.

Charby does most of her own hard physical labor around the bar, and even makes several of her own liquors. she also definitely wears suspenders as part of her normal bar wear but tends to undo her tie anytime she’s not actively working behind the bar
