Okay, sue me; I needed to draw the brother getting his own cuddles with his Ribba!
This is pretty much farther in the future for these two; Either datemates or deeper; But I thought this would be something cute and mega fluffy for the otherwise abnormally prickly bastard.
ForbiddenFluff is making a hard come around... I LOVE This ship as much as I loved PoisonPuppy; MuttxMuff
Anyways, wanna know the silly HC I have? :’D Mutt and Ribba are very sibling like, mainly due to the fact Mutt sees his bros like for her, so he gets close. When all three end up patrolling together one day, maybe, idk; Mutt pokes fun at Ribba until she chases him; Which he ends up leading her to Regal who’s just like. “Uh huh, Stop Your Bullshi--” And Ribba just cups his cheeks and gives him a BIG OL’ SMOOCH cause NORMALLY Mutt likes to crouch down for her since shes so tiny; And here, Ribba ends up getting Regal and.... Well. Yuuup, cuteness ahoy ♥
Literally just wanted to draw Regal getting some love :’D Can’t have one without the other now and GOD THEIR SO CUTE!!!! NKDJSFHDFGLJ SHITMAN.
Ribba might be a total ditz, an absolute blonde one could even say! But with her sweet and bubbly personality, one wouldn’t think that she made it so high up into the ranks in the Guards, especially under the top ranking Commander of the Queens Army, the Ferocious Black General; Sans Regal.
Taking on Alphy’s spot was more than a war in itself; But she managed to do it! Only the second one who could ever defeat the All Insanity Driven Alphys; She never lost her purity of having a good time no matter where she was, despite how harsh their worlds conditions are.
It took years for her to become how she is; Though most Monsters see she as an easy target when she’s not in her battle body, she proves them wrong. Though she may not dust them; She instead brings them in to the mysterious and threatening rumored ‘Judge’ who has the say to Dust or not to.
Ribba doesn’t have a lot of fear in general, her ability to being so light hearted and aloof proves that and she is often times confused for the Brave trait, which holds the Foolish concept. But Ribba will always fight with Honor, will bring punishment to those who deserve it, and only desires to continue on and try to bring light to the otherwise dark world they live in.
She has such a positive outlook on life, it can make the biggest target on her back. But that doesn’t stop Ribba... In fact, it just helps her keep going!
Now, there have been a few who have found out her weakness and used it against her; Which she bares scars now due to them, but those? She makes sure she’s able to dust. Fear strikes her, causing her to lose sight of what she has to do, causing accidental deaths. Of course, she takes it into account and proply makes reports of it; But no one bats an eye.
Her greatest weakness is her Blindness. She may not seem like it, but if one pays close attention to her ears, you can just tell. She’s basically like Doggo in UT; But instead of scent following, it’s hearing.
In her home, she has clocks or other constant noise makers that are low pitched, but each having a different tone to help her travel and know which room is which. It’s how she’s training herself to live alone, to stay away from her family to keep them safe; Because being in the Royal Guard, one must take actions to not make their families a large target or risk their safety.
General Regal & Lieutenant Rabbit relationship;
Now this... Is the tasty part!
Sans and Ribba actually are so blindsided by the concept of ‘Love’ and so focused on ‘Work’, neither realize what they really have for the other. Sans thinks he gains a perfect Second in command, despite she can be stupid occasionally; But makes up for that with her strength and hardworking goals.
He can respect that, he actually has been looking for that. His brother, however, instantly knows it’s not just that. Mutt sees how Sans looks at Ribba on training days; He sees the spark that Sans is blind to... Not only that, Mutt has fun with Ribba; She’s an absolute sweetie... But Mutts learned to not spook her.
It’s legit like spooking a horse when you walk right up behind it; Mutt doesn’t plan to do it again... But he does plan on teasing the shit out of his brother with his first crush. Of course; It’s his duty to! And it’s annoying Sans just thinks its work.
Ribba on the other hand; She thinks Sans is cool and constantly saying so and gushes about working under such a tough leader to her close family when she’s needing to socialize. Sans is legit one of the terrifying Boss Monsters, and to be so close and working with him?! It’s a dream come true! However, she makes sure she can keep her mouth shut when there’s other Rabbit Clans around that’re in the guard, because she doesn’t want the wrong idea going out... Her siblings, on the other hand, just know she fell for the General and are practically always getting her colors that match or are similar to his Magic Trait without her knowing; Using the blindness to trick her to try and gain Sans attention.
That does cause some fire however; But not with Sans & Ribba, more along the other Rabbit Clans... They begin thinking she’s trying to get ‘Friendly’ with the General, and devise a plan to get Sans to think Ribba is a betrayer...
But, Sans is far too smart for simple and idiotic tricks like that; Sees right through them... Not to mention, he can say he has more trust in Ribba than anyone else in his Guard. That right there, when Sans sides with Ribba, causes her to realize she-... Might like Sans? More than she knew?... Then the thought of how he would sometimes be gentle around her, sparks her Dokidoki heart to start for the prickly cactus.
Before the Barrier breaks though is a time where Sans will realize, slowly, that he has fallen for Ribba. Her strength, her positivity, just... Her in general? He finally realizes his own the soft Dokidoki’s for her, but doesn’t act on it because with Work? It’s forbidden to become enwrapped with another; It causes issues, causes betrayals, causes jealousy and ruins a whole place. Similar to how Alphy’s was ruined when corrupted Guards tried to aim for her and her Lover, Undyne.
So, he keeps Ribba at an arms length; Thinking it will just pass.
It never does; And he begins to think of Ribba as his Sunshine... A nickname he keeps in private. But once he accidentally says it around Mutt?........... Mutt is all over that; Teasing him any chance he can.
The two don’t get together for a long while; But they both begin to hold feelings for the other. Due to being where they are, they just can’t afford to do it. Ribba might be an airhead, but even she knows this would make her and his time worse than the hell they’re living in now... So both suffer side by side in silence.
Will they get together? Will they become something more?
God, I hope so; ForbiddenFluff is their ship name :’D
