My headcanon is if the Monster's soul is shattered, the body dusts, so too will any separated body parts that have either gone missing or kept for whatever reason. However said body parts will remain intact until the soul itself is shattered. It becomes the perfect way to alert the Monster's friends or family of their passing. 🙂 (For at least Fell AUs, it might be too morbid for Classic or Swap AUs.)
How would the skeleboys be when sleepy and their partner is nearby? (Ex: like the artwork you did of Bartye)
These sort of depend on whether sleep-work schedules match up. Assume somehow your schedules match.
It's kinda long so all 12 of the skele-brother's reactions are under the cut haha..
Esper Fellswapdew Sans
If you happen to share the same sleep schedule as him, since he's a night owl that works graveyard shifts, he'd be the type to seek you out. Maybe leaning on your shoulder if your comfortable with that sort of thing, with his jaw the way it is its hard to vocalize to come to bed but it's not hard to tell when he's about to fall asleep standing up.
Baryte Fellswapdew Papyrus
Link to the art mentioned. He might be already in bed reading comic books or scrolling on his phone but as soon as he sees you enter he'll put down what he is doing and beckon you over. He's sleepy, and wants to fall asleep snuggling with you, that's why he's still awake. When you do get into bed he's quick to wrap his arms around you and nuzzle your forehead with his.
Jet Swapfelldew Sans
This man is normally not in bed when he's sleepy! He's usually passed out on the floor or a couch, but we can assume you walk in before he heads on to honkshoo-ville. He might try to convince you to come join him on the floor, or the couch, but floors are not normally very comfy to sleep on and he's a large skeleton so there is no room on the couch. Take your pick! Because he can be quite the immovable object when he's barely conscience.
Pyrite Swapfelldew Papyrus
He doesn't sleep much, or very well, he's bit of an insomniac after witnessing horrors beyond comprehension so he isn't going to be found in bed when you would think he would be in bed- the roles would need to be reversed essentially. If you do manage to convince him to come to bed, he's the type to embrace you gently but firmly. As if he's scared you'll disappear in his arms.
Taro Swapdew Sans
He's more than likely already asleep because he's bit of an early morning riser, but if you did on the off chance happen to catch him before he falls asleep he'll tap the bed with a palm to hurry up. Not exactly the most romantic way to beckon you over, but he makes up for it by being a comforting-type of cuddler where he'll gently caress your head.
Gin Swapdew Papyrus
The bed is practically plush, the blankets are warm, the multitude of pillows are fluffy, and-!….. He's already dozed off. Literally the meme of 'me, my partner, and their body pillow' because he's likely snuggling one of the many pillows that accompany the both of you. Early bird gets the worm as they say.
Copper Felldew Sans
He's gonna waggle his skelebrows at you with the slyest grin on his face and ask why you haven't gotten into bed with him yet, doing a slow come hither with his finger. When you get into bed you realize he's more tired than he let on because as soon as you start cuddling, he begins to snore while clinging to you.
Zircon Felldew Papyrus
Let's assume the two of you have gotten comfortable with each other, him more-so with you, as he has slight Haphephobia. He is probably already about to fall asleep but hearing you enter the room will make him perk up. He'll give ya' a tired 'how you doing there pardner' that seems to roll off the rumble in his chest. When you get fully into bed he'll link pinkies with you.
Sap Horrordew Sans
He's not really the dating type but I suppose if he were in one, or found someone he'd want to share a bed with, he… I'm sorry I can't sugarcoat it, he's a curmudgeonly loner. He likely wouldn't take note of you entering the room until you got in bed. Even then he probably wouldn't react to it, but somehow the two of you always end up entangled with one another by morning.
Maple Horrordew Papyrus
When they're sleepy, they are a lot more cranky but unlikely the first to be found in bed as they'll probably be in their workshop designing new inventions. They can be convinced to come to bed by reminding them that falling asleep at their drafting desk is bad for their spine- and if they don't want to have back-pain in the morning, they'd better come to bed. They will acquiesce shortly after a heavy sigh- there are just not enough hours in the day to get everything done.
Sal Underdew Sans
This guy is already asleep! Sorry! If you find him when he's about to nap during the day, he's happy to invite you to join him no matter the location. He'll tell puns the entire time while the two of you are snuggling until either you fall asleep or you get sick of him.
Reed Underdew Papyrus
He is not tired! Not tired at all! What gave you the notion he was tired, or sleepy? He has so much floating around in that brain space of his he can't sleep, he doesn't even remember the last time that he did. His eyes are definitely not dark, or baggy, somehow even for a skeleton, and he's already drinking his fifth cup of tea. Go onto bed without him, he'll catch up later.
Did You Know: While imbibing Felldew may cause you to feel a few minutes of euphoria, one single dose causes a severe addiction that damages your strength, intelligence, agility, speed, willpower, endurance, luck and health?
While the Underground was... Still Underground, before they reached the surface, he'd get into a lot of fights, or would have to break up quite a few squabbles. Usually for stuff he'd have to take care of as the Judge of the Underground- he had the power to do so, and his image was ballooned up as a big tough guy.
Obviously there were still quite a few hurt feelings surrounding that even once the Underground had surfaced. Some were not on board with the development of peace, and trust, and would be watching and waiting for the most opportune time to strike against him.
Copper, while still relatively distrustful of others, would try to give others the benefit of the doubt per the encouragement of some of the villagers he had taken a liking to. It took quite a bit of time to relax the tough guy act. He even went as far as retiring as the Judge- a role/title he was glad to be rid of officially. Unfortunately as soon as his guard was let down he was pounced on by a group of monsters that had beef with him still.
The surprise timing gave them the upper hand and the fight would result in Copper's leg getting curb stomped. Fortunately for him, the Fell-Farmer had heard the commotion and rushed over- startling his attackers and causing them to flee.
However, the damage was already done, and it would be irreparable. The bone wouldn't fully heal because some pieces were missing during the initial healing process. So his leg aches along the scars where pieces are still missing.
They get jealous for different reasons, not necessarily as the jealous partner type. The other skeles not listed here are not particularly jealous in one way or another. (Not free of it, but not strongly feeling it if that makes sense.)
Pyrite is jealous that others can form and have friendships, he craves connection with others. Wishing that he could be his authentic self.
Baryte is a jealous partner type but that may be because of his past relationship with his ex Cinnamon Fellswapdew Grillby.
Taro is often jealous of other's success, and that drives him to unhealthy levels of work. He would be labeled a workaholic.
Copper is jealous of other's wealth- especially when it is unearned, in his Underground he grew up very poor in a capitalistic Fell world.
