Delta anon's back with a new headcanon:

Color sews Delta and Epic (and himself) sweaters when they rip or tear. I think Color would either fix the old sweater if it could be fixed, or just sew them a whole new sweater if it's beyond saving. (I also think it'd be cute if Color made little pieces of clothing for the group's animals for when the weather gets cold.)

I'd imagine he'd have to do this often, especially with Delta. With how much Delta moves around, they probably tear up clothing quite a bit and very often. I also imagine Delta might have patches (either he bought them or someone in the group made them for him) covering random rips or tears in any of his clothing. Especially if it's a piece of clothing that he doesn't want to throw away for whatever reason.

Thoughts?

100%. 10/10.

Remember that one hc someone made (might've been you?) about Delta having a motorcycle?

This is what would happen if he took Epic and Color with him on his rides:

https://youtube.com/shorts/_SiOfMkXmdQ?si=YK0yqJr_5D2e7hxy

(Lil thing about him and his motorcycle - I feel like on rides by himself, Delta would be a bit calmer. However, as the video stated, "I'm not under the influence, I AM the influence" is the exact energy he has when driving. Especially if it's with his friends.)

I feel like Delta, despite being involved in making and building various forms of transportation, would be highly allergic to actually driving or sitting passenger in a car.

So of course they often tend to go with more bike like vehicles, especially their motorcycle. Which wouldn’t be a problem if not for the fact that they keep getting distracted and taking stops at random sections when they have places to be, so they can often end up late to doctor’s appointments and meetings and take forever to get from and back the grocery store.

And if they don’t have a list made, they can very easily forget what they went to the store for and leave without it or with unrelated items.

This especially gets worse when Color moves out mainly because—as apart Color’s physical therapy, practicing his fine motor skills and adjusting to only having one functional eye socket, as well as just Color’s love for making lists and staying organized and detailed— Color often tended to make and write down the grocery lists.

And I’d imagine that during the early days of Color’s recovery while living with Delta, that the two of them wouldn’t ride on a motorcycle because Color would often get dizzy, nauseous, and overstimulated by all the sights, sounds, people, and sensations.

So they’d walk to stores and appointments together. It helped Delta stay focused now that they had someone else both there to remind them of what they forget and for them to stay attentive of, someone who needed their attentiveness and protection while in a vulnerable physical and mental state, and it also helped Color avoid feeling abandoned, forgotten, and isolated back at the apartment as well as allowing him to adjust to being around crowds of people, to adjust to society as a whole and the regular flow of time, while also getting in physical therapy and exercise.

I’d also imagine that, no matter what, Color probably cannot legally drive at all. Not only due to his physical and mental state, but because his flames could definitely pose a distraction risk. So he’d unfortunately not be able to do things like drive Delta to and from their own appointments and meetings himself, so it’s possible that was something Delta did on their own until Epic joined their duo.

However, given how we talked about Color and Epic both eventually drifting away from Delta for a time (as is common in friendships thanks to life), I like to think that Zorox, being mainly a support dog, is also responsible for ensuring that Delta gets to and from his destinations safely.

Especially if Delta’s ability to stay focused when driving took a steep nosedive during this time due to their own neurodiversity (ADHD, PTSD), as well as their own mental and physical health (major depression, more frequent dissociative episodes, chronic fatigue and chronic pain in the body (iirc Delta’s physical body was cut in half at one point).

And if this is the period where Beta starts becoming more differentiated and autonomous over the body, probably thanks to encountering situations that trigger flashbacks or due to Sans having a lessened grip of the body, more chances of the kid taking control behind a wheel he doesn’t know how to drive).

So during this period, Delta would probably have to rely more on public transportation, walking, or anyone willing to drive for them.

Delta Anon here with another little question, as recently my area got hit with a big ass rainstorm and it got me thinking as usual.

Do we think Beta would have a phobia of rain/thunder?

I looked it up and from pretty much everywhere I've seen, the Philippines get hit with typhoons very badly, with two deadly typhoons ("Yolanda/Haiyan" and "Pablo/Bopha") somehow lining up with the actual Undertale plotline of 20XX, along with other typhoons that either fell out of line with the 20XX plotline, or were less damaging than the two I already mentioned.

Anyways, I bring this up to say that depending on when Beta was alive during all this, he could have possibly lived through one of these typhoons or have been young enough to hear the horror stories they left behind. He may have grown up being taught to fear the water he and his friends or siblings swam in.

And depending on his parent's jobs, he could have also possibly learned how to perform life-saving measures in case of drowning or going under the water for too long, whether it be for a typhoons or to protect other kids in the bodies of water they swam in.

(Personally, I like to think his mom might have been a nurse, or at least he had a few aunties who were nurses, so they would've been able to teach him some things. Along with Color being interested in medical things as well, Beta would probably request lessons from him - and it might even help him remember those bits of his past.)

And actually now that I think about it this could make a lot more sense in regards to his backstory. What if the way he found out about Mt. Ebbot was him seeking shelter under one of its smaller caves - one that would be more towards the forest ground rather than up in the mountain - during a heavy spout of rain?

I'd imagine he ended up in that position due to him playing in or near the woods (if he was allowed to), but due to the heavy rain it wasn't safe to head back to his home. So he sought shelter in whatever dry area he could find that looked safe, stable, and without an animal already living in it. And once he found shelter in one of Mt. Ebbot's caves, he's been fascinated ever since. Which would of course give detail as to why he wanted to prove himself by climbing it fully, and thus falling into the Underground.

And if he had siblings, maybe he dragged them into the cave with him. I can imagine Beta being a very good older brother, but also a younger brother as well (maybe he was the middle child? Idk). So if his siblings and him were out playing, he most likely would have brought them to the cave with him. And they got to see his curiosity and fascination with the cave spark.

(Seperate little headcanon here - I think that there are multiple Mt. Ebbots around the world that connects the Monsters all Underground. If it was a war between Humans and Monsters, then surely it would have been world-wide. The Monsters would have had to seek shelter somewhere. It would make sense if there would be multiple Mt. Ebbots to connect them all to one place, one shared Underground, no?)

Of course, once he fell into Mt. Ebbot later on, he would probably be very wary of Waterfall. Does it act the same way the typhoons at home did? Is it capable of creating a typhoon in the first place? What would happen if it was, where would he hide?

But now that he's with Delta in the Omega Timeline, depending on how much he remembers, do we think it would still affect him? Cause it could be a fully subconcious thing, even if he doesn't remember why he fears the sound of rain.

Assuming the Omega Timeline has non-dangerous weather (but weather nonetheless), the minute he hears rain or thunder, his fight-or-flight kicks in full gear. He doesn't know why he starts having flashbacks and panic attacks during storms, or why he remembers calling out certain names of people he no longer recognizes, or why he craves to find safety in dark, dry places during them.

It might impact how he functions as Delta, too - if they're on a mission somewhere protecting someone and rain starts up, their first instinct might be to grab whoever they're protecting and hide with them somewhere safe, including teammates.

Or if they're in a fight and a storm is brewing, they might get a sudden urge to run from the rain, unsure if it'd be safe to risk continuing the fight - which could also inspire an idea to leave the enemy to the storm and hope the rain takes care of the problem for them.

(And since he already doesn't like fireworks, depending on the reasoning, I can see him honestly disliking the storms more than the fireworks. The loud noises rival each other, but the potential trauma from typhoons would make the storms arguably worse.)

Anyways, now that he's with Delta, Color, and Epic, I can see their first interaction with a storm in the Omega Timeline (again, if it has weather) definetly exposing that fear.

The first time he probably experienced a rain storm was when he was alone with Delta, I'd assume. Depending on when it happened, it either threw Sans entirely or he could've had a bit of time to understand some of Beta's fears and how to help (if he had learned a bit about Beta's past prior to this).

Regardless, it still probably startled and confused Sans/Delta why Beta all the sudden started having flashbacks when he heard the thunder roll and the rain start. Beta would probably run to a safe place (and drag Sans with him), away from windows but padded to protect himself from debris - such as under the bed or inside a closet/cabinet. It took quite a while during and after the storm to convince Beta it was safe.

Along with that, the first time it happened with Color and Epic, it might've unfortunately happened outside. They were on an outing, and before they knew it, they got caught in the rain. Now, obviously, Delta doesn't feel comfortable showing any signs of fear outside of his home (hell, he doesnt even like showing it there), so I think the panic would be more internal. Especially if Beta was really freaking out about it, and Sans is trying to calm him down so he doesn't show too much panic (he knows his kid doesn't like seeming scared in front of anyone, even their friends).

But if the storm was really getting bad, I can see their friends starting to recognize their nervous tics - pacing, fidgeting, constantly checking outside and/or the weather app, scanning for exits and safe places to hide. Maybe even trying to drag Color and Epic with them to safety inside a store or library.

Obviously, as we all know, they would clock that shit immediately. They'd recognize that Beta is taking some control, but they'd also see that something clearly isn't right. I'd imagine they let Delta lead them to wherever they feel necessary to go - they know better than to try to stop him from protecting them. But once they make sure Delta has relaxed a bit, they ask him about it.

He'd deny it, naturally. What are you talking about, seeming nervous? Who would fear a little bit of rain and thunder? (Why would they admit to it in public?)

Yeah, that facade lasts until the lights start flickering. And if the storm is bad enough, maybe the lights go out completely for a few minutes.

But don't worry! Everyone nearby can see. Because unfortunately, that scared Delta/Beta so badly that they're glowing now. Lights suddenly going out during a bad storm is never a good sign.

Of course, Color and Epic would take them somewhere more private immediately for questioning and comfort. By this point, Beta's mostly taken over and the kid is definetly having a panic attack - Sans, however, is trying to regain control to help calm him down. Which only makes the outward panic worse, especially if they're both talking out loud to each other, trying to reassure themselves of reality whilst having no fucking clue what's going on anymore.

I feel like during this kind of moment, Color and Epic would back off a bit and let them sort it out. They'd be there to provide comfort, of course - if a loud roll of thunder passes by and Beta suddenly reaches out ("I'm not scared, I'm just- trying to protect you!") or if Sans is trying to ask for something to soothe the kid ("Hey, listen, we need to breathe right now. There's a blanket in that corner, it's soft, do you want a blanket?"), they would help. And if Zorox was there with them, then obviously he'd do his job in comforting and grounding them in reality.

I'd imagine it'd take quite a while to get them to calm down. Maybe the lights have come back on by this point, and Beta relaxes a bit when they do. He might take lights coming back on as a sign of safety - surviving the storm.

They'd probably go home after that, once the rain stopped. They'd probably focus on calming them down the rest of the day, especially Beta.

Anyways. Thoughts?

(And sorry if I yapped too much, this one got me excited to think and write about it 😅)

One thing I learned while doing brief research into the Philippines and Filipino culture (and i still plan to do more, definitely), is that multi generational homes are not uncommon, even if that often means an overcrowded home environment.

So even if Beta had been the oldest of his siblings, or the baby of his siblings, he could still very well have the experience of a “middle child” because he, his siblings, and his parents could share a very close living space if not a connected big house with their cousins, including Beta’s grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.

I also definitely do think Beta has nurses, doctors, and people in the medical profession in his family—especially his mom. In the same vein, I also wouldn’t be surprised if other members of his family were involved in their local church/religious community, such as nuns, priests, preachers, etc.

I also really like the idea that Color having a very clear and passionate interest in the medical field could also be one reason why Beta was drawn to him—but also, i wouldn’t be surprised if the kid subconsciously always expected Color to leave and go far distances eventually, as his mother did in his life.

(And would also explain why he felt so intensely about Color eventually moving out of the apartment he shared with Beta and Delta, because Beta is subconsciously reacting to previous abandonment trauma and dealing with emotional flashbacks. The body keeps the score and all.)

With the context of how the weather is in the Philippines, and the two previous big typhoons matching up, I do think it’d be reasonable for a child to both know how to avoid, survive, and recognize the signs of an approaching or developing typhoon.

Especially if Beta was caught in one while alive, or perhaps his family faced a loss—either someone Beta knew personally, or just someone who passed before Beta was born but he grew up constantly hearing about this loss family member. And the grief and trauma of family loss, if not the loss of a home and community, shaped the family environment the child was born into.

I really like the way you tied in Beta’s adventurous nature and the reality of typhoons into how he first discovered a Mt. Ebbott and how it developed into his later fascination and desire to prove himself but climbing and exploring the whole thing.

Especially the thing about multiple Mt. Ebbotts (even if the mountains may be given their own different names in the UltraTale/Vitaltale AU depending on where they’re situated, and what types of people, cultures, civilizations build, rise, and fall around them.)

Also I think it’d be interesting that—if we go with the idea that the orange/bravery soul was locked in the jar for many years to the point it kinda loss or came out of it with absolutely no memory or sense of identity or self at first, only to eventually run into situations, people, names, aus, that bring up confusing emotions or murky, muddy flashes of memory where the child can’t make out clear details or map out a timeline of their life before the jar— that a part of Beta’s character will be at first starting to recognize that there is a self at all outside of bravery.

Then there will be both an arc of trying to build a self, while also recovering and discovering a self that is distinctly “before.” There can be murky details of the past to build a baseline for this character, but also the present and the future are unclear—so there’s plenty of opportunities to write and explore the bravery soul down many different paths.

If the bravery soul starts to develop a differentiated sense of self from Sans, or not. If the soul wants to uncover the past so badly, or if it’s attempting to live in the now while the past keeps intruding on its new life, its second chance.

If the soul may even want to reject regaining a sense of self separate from bravery or Delta at all, between itself and Sans, perhaps because it feels easier, safer, or maybe just what it likes best. That it’s okay with just being Delta, or the bravery soul, and not exploring who the child was before or trying to figure out who he is now.

Hiii, it's Delta anon!! I'm back!! :D

I come bearing two new headcanons!! They tie into each other ofc lol. But first, I raise you a question - do you think Delta gets phanom pain?

(Before I continue, let me say this. I do not experience phantom pain and have never even gotten close to losing a limb. I am simply basing this stuff off of what I know mostly from YouTube videos when my brain decided to hyperfixate on it.)

Phantom pain is typically defined by having pain in a missing or amputated limb. Obviously Delta still has his spinal cord - but at one point, they literally got cut in half. So on a technicality, they did lose that limb. They regained it after the reset, but the damage was done - that pain and fear never left.

Obviously, this can impact them in dozens of ways in any area of their lives. During fights, I imagine that any time Delta fought somebody - especially Killer, in the early days - he would instinctively go to protect his spinal cord. Not his neck or head, anything that could stop quickly kill him. His spine.

Naturally, they would have to unlearn this - or at least learn to use one hand to protect his neck, and the other to protect his spine. The first couple times this happened, Beta probably questioned it. Delta probably gave him a bullshit answer to avoid talking about the trauma. Eventually, they grew used to it enough that they didn't bother questioning it. Delta was very glad for that.

They were able to hide the flashbacks and nightmares for quite a while. But once Color came around, it got harder and harder to do that. Seeing the swirling colors around Color's own wound was a constant, everyday reminder of not only the pain his friend had suffered, but of the pain he himself suffered - the people he failed to save.

And maybe during one of their more painful nightmares, he wakes up in extreme pain, and momentarily believes the nightmare was real. That he was cut in half again, bleeding out, just waiting to die. Which will obviously lead to total panic and derealization.

I can see it getting bad enough that even after Epic and Color come in to calm them down, that Delta may need to be hospitalized. Even if it isn't real, it still feels real - and who's to say what reality is at this moment? It could all be a lie, just another nightmare. Was everything that they remember and are living through now a lie? Just a vision of what could have been? What if they really were dying all over again?

Yeah, with the phantom pain and derealization spell (not even to mention the fact that they truly think their nightmare is reality), they're going to a hospital.

I'd imagine Epic and Color are very confused the first time they witnessed this. And naturally, this concerns them as well - it was so rare for them to see Delta genuinely panic and freak the fuck out, especially if it was due to past trauma. They almost always hid it a bit too well. But now, these two get a front row seat to watching them become distrusting and paranoid, completely confused on what was reality and what wasn't.

I also think it would be a major insecurity for them. Any other scar on their body is fine to be shown off, as they're often seen as proof of what they've survived. All but the scar on their spine, which serves as a lifelong reminder of the people they failed to save and the shame and vulnerability it brings with it. They would probably hide it at all extents.

They might even wake up some days in extreme pain, confused, questioning if someone hurt them in their sleep or if something happened. Unsure if the people around them can be trusted if they wake up in pain.

I also feel like Zorox would be able to help with this. I honestly don't know much about therapy dogs (or Zorox, aside from what Os says), but I think the pup could be trained to help with the phantom pain. Bringing ice packs, medicine, maybe even a walking device if Delta can't do it on his own.

Delta would still probably try to push through the pain, afraid of what will happen if someone sees them in this "weak" state (bc that's probably what he thinks will happen, that someone will take advantage of his weakness and strike, even if he's around trusted and beloved friends). So they try to go without medicines or aids, not only to protect themselves but to not worry their friends.

Obviously, Zorox doesn't let him get away with that at all. To my knowledge, service animals are trained to stop their owner before any kind of medical episode/issue happens and make them take time to take care of themselves. So if Zorox sees or feels that Delta's pushing through fixable pain solely because of pride or fear, he will make them sit back down and bring them the necessary items to help them feel better. And if it gets really bad, he night run to go alert Color or Epic that they need help.

But maybe the phantom pain also arises during battle or when they're trying to hunt down someone who committed a crime. Which brings me to my next headcanon!

We all know Beta is a very smart kid, and he's especially intuitive/conscious of exactly where they are at all times (unless they're dissocating). His instincts are like no other - even if he can't see the threat, he knows exactly when they're in danger and which direction it's coming from.

So what if their instincts come in the form of phantom pain?

Obviously when Beta tells Delta/Sans something, they listen. But once Beta starts to panic, they feel their core tighten, the scar on their spine start burning - and the more they ignore it, the worse it gets.

The minute they feel that something's wrong is the minute the phantom pain starts to act up (if it hasn't already). This can be at any point - they could be in a fight multiple AU's away, but if something's going wrong with Color or Epic at home, they feel it first before they know what's happening.

I can honestly see it scaring the shit out of Color and Epic the first time it happened. Because they were struggling with something silently, and all the sudden they get a text from Delta, who is NOWHERE NEAR THEM, asking if they're okay and what's going on.

They were very confused, but it distracted them enough to text back. And maybe they tried to lie, because they just weren't ready to talk about it yet.

Unfortunately for them, Beta/Delta called that shit out immediately. They first say that it's okay if they don't want to talk about it, but remind them that they'll be here when they're ready to talk.

And that still scares the shit out of the other two - how did they know about that?! They didn't even tell him!

Meanwhile, Beta's telling Sans/Delta EXACTLY what to say and do because he can feel it. He knows somehow that Color and/or Epic are struggling, to the point where even Sans starts to question it. Maybe it's a trauma thing, that Beta just so happens to know everyone's emotions at all times, even when they're away. Maybe they're just psychic or something.

(Beta claims the psychic one. Literally everyone - including him - knows it's the trauma one. But they collectively decide to run with the psychic option because it's funnier and Beta insists on it.)

All this to say, the phantom pain can be triggered when Beta feels that something dangerously wrong is happening or about to happen. It's Sans'/Delta's sign to listen and do what Beta says. Eventually, after the danger is alleviated, the pain starts to go away too.

Anyways, that's all I got for now. Thoughts?

Oh, I had an unfinished draft about Delta being cut in half for like a week now. Guess I’ll just copy and paste that here since I have the chance;

“Even though the body was magically reconstructed, Delta might have moments where he forgets that he has legs again, leading to sudden “missteps” or unsteadiness.

Since his magic likely had to rebuild connections between the upper and lower halves, there could be misalignments in how signals travel, leading to occasional spasms, twitching, or moments where his legs don’t respond correctly.

Since his waist and hips were completely destroyed and reconstructed, Delta’s center of balance might never feel entirely right again.

He might struggle with coordination, needing to adjust to the sensation of standing and walking as if his body is slightly out of sync with itself.

Sitting or lying down for too long might make his lower half feel “disconnected”, requiring movement or external grounding techniques (like deep pressure) to reorient himself.

Certain physical actions—like jumping, dodging, or twisting quickly—might cause discomfort or feel unnatural.

Even if healed, the place where his body was torn in half might be a structural weak point, making him more vulnerable to future injuries in the same area.

The magical regeneration could’ve left behind faint, glowing fractures along his midsection—possibly visible under certain lighting or when he uses magic.

The area could be hypersensitive to touch, impact, or pressure, meaning attacks aimed at his waist might hurt disproportionately more than expected.

Regenerating half of a body isn’t just a major physical trauma—it’s a massive magical cost. Even after healing, Delta’s energy reserves might be permanently lower, causing more frequent fatigue and burnout, slower natural healing over time and greater reliance on external energy sources like food, sleep, or outside magic to keep his body stable.

Experiencing such a violent death-like injury would likely leave deep psychological scars, even if his body recovered.

Hyperawareness of his waist and lower body – Delta might instinctively guard that area, flinch when people reach for him, or feel a constant underlying discomfort.

Flashbacks & body dysmorphia – At times, he might still feel “split in half,” even though he’s healed, leading to disorienting episodes where he feels like he’s reliving the injury.

Fear of being physically broken again. He might develop defensive habits, like keeping his back to a wall or avoiding situations where his midsection is exposed.

To counteract these effects, Delta might strengthen his core through magical reinforcement or external support (wearing a belt, brace, or armor piece over his waist).

He could develop a more cautious fighting style, relying on ranged combat or teleportation instead of up-close melee. (This one I highly doubt. Similar to Killer, he’s very up close and involved with his fists and legs. I doubt that would change, regardless of the risks.)

Use deep pressure therapy (possibly with Zorox, his service dog) to help him reconnect with his body. Wear heavier or reinforced clothing to feel more secure—like weighted garments, layered fabrics, or protective gear over his waist.”

And on the topic of Beta being able to tell when something’s wrong or danger is nearby due to their phantom like pain starting up, similar intuition to Color seemingly just being able to tell when danger—Nightmare and his huge gang—is coming in the Sans Hazard comics, do we think Beta started feeling that way in regards to Killer?

It could just only be when Killer actually chose to leave Nightmare and followed Color to the Omega Timeline, or more likely, started the very first time he realized Color was going to do something he probably deems crazy—crazy to seemingly do for someone like Killer—back in the beginning.

That he apparently sees something in Killer that Delta doesn’t, and has to decided he’s not going to let that go—even it could kill him.

Does it start immediately, and keeps happening any time Beta senses something has went wrong somewhere—and it’s harder to make sense of what or with who, with Color no longer back at home with Delta and Epic and Beta.

Wonder if it happens so often that both Delta and Beta start to become desensitized a bit to this specific pain, out of necessity, and many years later—when sitting in the living room of their home with their family, Cross and Killer right across from them—it’s a surprise for the both of them to realize that the pain is actually gone. Not even a dull ache.

[howlsofbloodhounds]

This is part 1. Check reblogs for part 2.

[howlsofbloodhounds]

Hellooo, Delta Anon here! I come bearing a question.

Do we think Beta might've gotten a lil jealous once Color came around?

Cause think about it, the kid is used to having Delta's undivided attention literally all the time. And now he's not only gotta share the attention, but also help teach and heal the person who's getting it.

Plus, Beta's just a kid. Kids can get jealous really easy, especially if it comes to their favorite person giving anyone other than them attention. Delta's all he has. He's his only family and friend.

Along with tying into the fact that we hc that Beta's bio parents were abusive and maybe even gave him some sort of attachment/abandonment issues, I think this kind of thing would really hit him in the soul. He would probably be confused and distressed, wondering why he suddenly had to share Delta's attention.

He might start to question if Delta got sick of him, or if he's going to get left behind again. And like I said in a previous hc of mine, that could result in him getting snappy, pushing limits/boundaries, or even running away at worst.

But also like I mentioned in that hc, Delta is very intuitive. He knows what his kid feels (same body/mind benefits). He can see that something's bothering his boy. Only issue is, Beta's too scared to say what it is, in case Delta decides to abandon him over it.

I don't think he'd ever voice these opinions directly to Color. He knows that Color is struggling to adapt, and he can empathize with that - it took him a while to learn how to work with Sans, too. But that doesn't mean he likes the attention Delta's giving them. He feels like he's getting left behind again.

Maybe one day he breaks and tells Delta everything, because he knows Delta's onto him and he's terrified of how they'd react if he kept hiding things - but he's also terrified of what will happen if he tells the truth.

Delta takes the chance to immediately reassure him that they'll stay together no matter what, no matter who comes around. He's not only glad that Beta told him so that he could fix it, but also because it means his kid feels safe enough to ask him to fix it.

I think this feeling of jealousy would eventually subside as Color grows on him. He would adjust to sharing the attention, and obviously the two would become friends with time. It would be a massive adjustment for both of them, but a welcome one once they were both able to accept it.

Thoughts?

I think it would make sense—especially if Color comes around while Delta is still trying to adjust to setting down roots somewhere.

Especially if Color hasn’t yet developed any trust in Delta or the Omega Timeline as a whole yet, i absolutely wouldn’t be surprised if Color was often just “too much” and hard to handle let alone live with at times.

Even when Color wasn’t trying to be—like having uncontrolled, angry outbursts when something is too loud or something happens too suddenly, being clingy because Color panics if he doesn’t see Delta around for too long, making unfounded accusations because of paranoia, stealing and hoarding all the food, and many, many other reasons.

Especially if Color falls back into old habits (toxic habits) he developed when he was only sharing a living space with one other person, aka Gaster.

It’s a lot for a kid, especially if Color unintentionally creates an environment that reminds B of his own home life while he was alive.

[howlsofbloodhounds]

Hiii, it's Delta anon!! I'm back again :D I come bearing the gift of a small but cute headcanon!

So it seems to me that it's widely accepted that the Epic Sanses are fairly good with kids due to 2/3 of them having ghost children around 24/7. However, I find it fun to imagine that the Star Sanses are SHIT with kids.

Blue is a bit awkward, Dream would be decent but honestly I don't think he'd understand or know how to play with them based on his history (idk how to explain it sorry), and Ink is.. Ink. (This is nothing against any of them, I just find it fun to think this way lol.)

So, whenever the Star Sanses go on a mission and they come in contact/have to save a kid and don't entirely know how, they just call up the Epic Sanses. And of course those three are happy to come help!

That's kinda all I got in my head right now. If I have more to add onto this later, I'll probably send in another ask lol.

Anyways, thoughts?

I love that. The Epic trio are everyone’s badass, ass kicking, uncles.

I also like to think that, after the Stars finish saving an AU or fighting off a threat to an AU—or even whenever young kids and teens from genocide timelines or erased AUs are taken to the Omega Timeline—that Delta, Color, and Epic are often also called on to help, especially with orphaned children or those separated from their families or caretakers.

Color and Epic especially tends to help kids taken to hospitals, psych wards, and care facilities.

[howlsofbloodhounds]

Hii, Delta anon back again and I have more random hc's!

So Epic obviously has the most sleep issues out of all of them, but I'd imagine both Delta and Color have a bit of issues with sleeping, too. Color because he was stuck in one place for so long, so he probably slept a lot to pass the time. Delta because he has intense PTSD nightmares, but also can't go too long without a nap or else he won't be able to function as well.

I'd imagine that the magic version of sleep-walking would probably be sleep-teleporting, or something similar. Delta probably does this, because his body takes longer to rest than his mind does, and if he starts thinking about going somewhere while he's half-asleep, next thing he knows, he's there. Epic and Color usually have to track him down and bring him back, and then babysit him to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Delta's favorite season is fall, Color's is spring or summer, and I'd imagine Epic enjoys both summer and winter.

When one (or all) of them get sick, the other two immediately help out.

Let's say Color's the one to get sick first. Epic and Delta would immediately stop what they're doing to take care of him, even if Color protests it because he doesn't want to "bother" them. Whatever he needs, they'll get for him. I'd also imagine that his migraines, misophonia, and sensory issues would act up way more than usual during this time. He'd probably spend most of his time sleeping or distracting himself with something that won't trigger his misophonia, and Delta and Epic would let him rest until he felt like waking up to eat or drink something.

When Epic gets sick, the nightmares increase along with the pain that comes with them. And he'll do ANYTHING to avoid sleeping during this time, which means he'll be going a few days without sleep at a time. He'll try to keep going, distract himself with whatever he can before he knocks himself out, but Delta and Color force him to rest. They'll usually just watch anime marathons, and they'll always get Epic some food. And when Epic does finally fall asleep, the two make sure to stay there with him for when Epic wakes up screaming and in severe pain from his nightmares.

When Delta gets sick, he is far more difficult to deal with. He would try his hardest to pretend like he's not sick and to hide it for as long as he can, until the sickness and exhaustion takes over. Usually this means they're so exhausted from masking it, that they'd physically collapse. When they'd wake up, they'd be in bed, with Epic and Color making sure they won't try to run off. But of course, when he wakes up, he'll try to convince them that he was just tired, definetly *not* sick, that it was an accident. Obviously, Color and Epic don't believe that for a second. They'd make them rest and not even bother to ask if anything hurts, because they know they'll hide it. So they just grab any meds he could potentially need and give it to him. Same with food and drink. I'd imagine that the sickness makes him incredibly clingy, though, not wanting to be alone when he's semi-vulnerable. So they spend most of their time cuddling with Delta until he can get up and keep going. The sleep-teleporting issue enhances.

Because Color was stuck in the Judgement Hall for so long, I imagine he has mild issues with eating since there was not really food there. When he first got out, finally being able to eat after so long got to him and he ate literally until he got sick. It did not end well. Over the years he's gotten better with eating, but if he starts to feel anxious about being forgotten or abandoned again, he turns to food as comfort and a reminder of where he is now, and that he can't predict the future, but he can plan for it.

And that's all I have for now! Thoughts?

Oh I love that. The idea of sleep teleporting Delta and Color turning to food for comfort as a reminder of where he is now? Yes 👌.

I can picture Color figuring out how to bake his friends’ favorite foods for whenever they’re feeling down and need a pick-me-up or just whenever they’re sick or feeling homesick.

You know how some characters are sometimes HC’d to have the ethnicity/nationality, such as Color & Killer being Arabic, id imagine Color would try to figure out how to make cultural meals like that.

I don’t know what Epic and Delta’s creators’ are, I heard Epic’s is Philippines, but Color can make them meals of their own country or his.

And the sleep teleporting thing gave me a mental image of like, sleeping Delta trying to teleport off a cliff and like Epic having to tackle-hug them or Color having to use his Grablings to stop him from falling off the cliff 💀.
