(Ask and art by @dseval. Tumblr decided the ask was too long and wouldn’t let me reply.)

Stars are trauma triggers for Killer. They remind him of the Resets.

Killer, back when he was Sans, dreaded the constant Resets a lot more than he did the Genocides or even the idea of the world being Erased—he wanted to stop or continue, anything but going back or replay. At least, according to the human.

Something New’s human really loved telling Sans what he thought and felt. Almost as if they could read his mind..

So in this case, I’d say an Outertale Killer may even grow from fearing, avoiding, and disliking stars, to outright hating them.

I think it’d be a funny idea if Nightmare collected all these Killers all at once, but I also don’t think he would do it. Not only because these Killers are more likely to kill eachother, but because it’s a lot of work to break in and train them. Just not worth it, and one-at-a-time works a lot more.

The drawing is so cute, I love it.

Crossdust, 19 pls pls Crossdust 🙏🙏

WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY KPOP SONGS IM CRYING 😭😭😭

19. deja vu (anemoia remix) - txt

You and I, under the starlit promise Before our dust-piled crown Once again, like the dream carved in my soul Be my eternity, say my name

sequel to this (i'm evil :3)

the scene stretches before dust like a graveyard. his shoes crunch against the snow as he heads back to the house he once called home. his steps are uneven, driven by the bubbling rage that burns his bones. rage at himself. rage at cross. rage at the universe for letting this all fall apart.

inside the empty house, the air is thick with dust and memories. the furniture lies in disarray, the floorboards creaking under his weight. dust angrily slams the door behind him, hands trembling.

“why?” he growls, his voice echoing in the vast silence. “why didn’t you just…” he trails off, his sockets flickering in their colors as the imagined scenarios play out in his mind. he knew he should have killed cross when he had the chance. ended it. snuffed out the lingering ember of weakness that made him hesitate.

but then cross’s face flashes before him. that startled deer-like look. that flash of recognition when his name slipped through dust’s mouth. and worse, the fleeting, painful hope in cross’s expression – a hope dust has no right to ignite.

he slams his fist into the wall, the impact sending a shower of plaster to the ground. “idiot,” he hisses to himself. “weak, pathetic son of a b-” his voice cracks, and he turns away from the damaged wall, dragging a hand down his face.

dust sinks into the tattered couch, his shoulders heaving as he tries to catch his breath. but the room isn’t empty. it never is. cross is there, or at least the shadow of him. perched on the armrest, head tilted, that teasing grin blooming on his angelic face.

“brooding again, huh?” the memory says, its voice soul-wrenchingly familiar. “you always get in your own head too much.”

dust closes his sockets tightly, hands gripping at the sofa. “you’re not real,” he mutters. “get out of my head.”

“oh, come on. you missed me, didn’t you?” the phantom leans closer, its voice softening. “you’re still in love with me. that’s why you hesitated. that’s why you let me go.”

“shut up,” dust snarls, his voice rising. “shut up!” he swings his arm through the air, but it passes harmlessly through the vision, leaving him alone in the silence again. his chest heaves, his sockets burning as he stares at the empty space where the illusion had been.

the past claws at him from every corner in this house he can’t bear to burn down. the way cross laughed. the way cross leaned against him. the quiet moments they shared in this very house. the promises whispered in the dark. dust buries his face in his hands, his broken soul trembling under the weight of it all.

you’re still in love with me, the words echo in his mind, and he can’t deny them. no matter how much he hates himself for it, no matter how much he tells himself that cross is the enemy now, the truth won’t change.

but what does that mean? should he chase cross to kill him, to silence the lingering ache in his soul? or should he do something else? something unthinkable? traitorous?

“idiot,” he mutters again to himself, his voice cracking. “you can’t afford this. you can’t afford him.”

and yet, when he closes his sockets, the memories come rushing back. of cross. of them.

“dust.” the voice is so real this time that dust startles and snaps his eyes open. but the house is empty, the ghostly presence gone. he is alone, like always.

dust leans back against the couch, his head tilting toward the cracked ceiling. he can’t afford the tears since they have all dried out ages ago. he can’t decide what hurts more – the thought of killing cross or the thought of letting him go again.

“i’m still here,” he whispers into the silence, his voice trembling. “and you’re not.”

(I usually ask anonymously because I'm shy asf but I wanted to ask non-anonymously because I don't think anons get notified when their ask gets answered.)

I feel like you know enough about Killer to tell me If this sounds solid or if it's dogwater. (Also to know if this idea had already existed or not sksksk). Please tell me if I made any mistakes, though! My brain is kinda fried lately and I had the strong urge to yap :'D

So I think it has been established that Killer's bones are constantly melting due to the high amounts of determination inside of him, and he'll eventually melt away and die. I think it is also mentioned somewhere that Color promises to find a way to 'fix' his soul?

I think the viable solution would be the Determination (DT) Extractor machine. In the Undertale game, in Alphys's True Lab we see the DT Extractor machine, it is used to extract DT from the human souls to be later injected into monster bodies. I wonder if we hypothetically can use this to solve Killer's perpetually melting problem? Has anyone thought of it?

(I do think there's some sort of like Sans fights animation where Killer is thrown to the DT Extractor in the middle of battle and he loses his DT. But my memory is fuzzy...)

Thank you, have a nice day (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

I suppose that’s an option they could try, especially since Color said he knows a guy and perhaps he meant his AU’s Gaster, but would it work, and would it work without killing him or grievously injuring him? Is killer willing to risk the possibility of being changed yet again.

Would it do anything to his code? That’s changed now too.

He’s arguably spent more time with DT as apart of his being than without it. Is it just a part of him now?

It invaded his soul like a parasite, perhaps it’d be hard to remove at all (almost like it doesn’t want to be removed) (stage 4 is described as pure Determination. perhaps in a way its also like rejecting 4.) and any intense pain and trapped feelings would provoke stage 3 into instinctively fighting back and trying to survive.

which is ironic, considering how 3 could remember the feeling of invasion and wants the invading parasite out.

Perhaps killer’s biggest struggle in trying to ‘fix’ himself is himself. And instead he should focus on trying to heal and recover.

I imagine it’d be a strange feeling. watching your body struggle and fight against something you wanted and willingly agreed to, as if it doesnt understand that this was going to (supposed to) help.

maybe they make or find a smaller syringe like version to slowly take out and remove small amounts in certain times of the day, if only to prevent more damage on his body and further slow down the melting and rotting.

I’d imagine this would not only bring up trauma around his soul and people touching it or injecting/extracting things in and from it; but may also bring up a whole lot of concerns about becoming weaker, unable to protect himself and worries about having to rely on someone else.

Not only do i still feel like 3-4 would cause rather violent resistance against the idea of extraction DT (one instinctual, the other because it means losing connections to chara/the player and failing the deal), and 2 wouldnt want it for the mentioned above.

1 likely would, even if it kills him and especially if it weakens him (he’s accepted death a long time ago, it’s the final rest for him, and losing DT just means freedom and less pain and less suffering for others and him he thinks), while 2 may bury his wants deep down and go along with it if it seems to make Color happy.

But of course, if Killer doesn’t seem fully on board and enthusiastic about it, Color’s not going to make him.
