What is your different takes on each swap papyrus you've made so far? Are there stark differences or slight changes? How do you portray them?
I'm not 100% sure how to properly answer this. There are so many, so I'm gonna pick a handful.
Syrup: Grew up in the Underground, similar to Undertale but with reversed roles. Prankster, goofball, loving as hell, constantly worried about his stressed-out brother, enjoys puzzles and sweets, dislikes fatty food and drink.
Slick: Genuine mafia man, beloved by Kioko, very hot, very strong, very orphan. The guy has a huge body count, he's a flirt, plays around with people, likes pissing off his kidnappers, prankster, values his family, he's a good hacker, he can take a punch, and he's incredibly snarky.
Ceylon: Grew up in the Underground, following an Underswap neutral route, and survived a famine. Is still a joker, but he has a more morbid sense of humor now. He is a mother hen (ish), likes sweet foods, tolerates greasy stuff, and is a little nasty when we first meet, but he lightens up because he is really touch starved.
Farmswap: Lark grew up on the surface with a farm. Dude is a farmer who works hard but is prone to laziness. He is a joker, very powerful, has a nasty mouth, may be easily irritated depending on the situation, enjoys honey, is really helpful, intelligent, and motivating.
Obsidian: Grew up in the Underground, but is slightly more hostile than average Underswap. A prankster, a smoker, dislikes greasy food, is a major flirt, smug, enjoys poor puns, prefers honey-flavored foods to plain honey, enjoys booze, and balances his brother out.
Honeycomb: He grew up in the Underground, which was devastated by Toxin, and has since become a multiverse wanderer. A prankster, but more closed off and colder than his other varieties, vindictive, the #original, vigilante, smokes and enjoys sweets, a flirt, more worried than the other variants, and overprotective.
Sandstone: Did not grow up in the Underground, grew up on the surface world. He is an authentic hero. A prankster AND a troublemaker, a social butterfly who is secretly an introvert, highly protective of loved ones, loving, caring, and takes his profession very seriously (in comparison to his other versions), and everyone kind of likes him.
Cyfrin: He is a god of Mischief and Daydreams. He is a guide, a lovely person, and a trickster (yes), but he is unnecessarily courteous and formal; he frequently leads people to considerably happier lifestyles and dream choices; he is highly flirty, frequently anxious, and does not take his job of helping others seriously.
Beckett: A dragon who guards his home. A little cooler than his variants, very serious about his work, a trickster who enjoys horrible jokes, a gentleman to a fault, a tease, calm, stressed, and careful, very strong, and not afraid to battle and tear his way to survival.
Bryn: Dreamwalker who improves dreams, reality bender, grew raised in the Anti-void. He's nice, lethargic, and a prankster, but he can be extremely frightening and intimidating as a guide. He enjoys reality-bending and puns and isn't tied to any single AU.
Liu: He's a void traveling doctor. He's super smart, also he's weirdly cryptic, he smokes, avoids causing problems for friends, a prankster, deals with stress well, seems overconfident, and like sweet food over savory.
Don't imagine King quietly tracing his thumb over your lips leaning in and softly complimenting every feature on your face.
Don't imagine Shrike quietly tracing your hand while looking at it while admiring you and complimenting you.
Don't imagine Silver messing with your hair as he leans against the couch and you rest in his lap.
Don't think of Salamander humming as you hug him from behind as he makes breakfast and says "Good morning, my love."
Don't imagine Roscoe running his hand up and down your back as you cuddle and he keeps you close.
Don't think of Sandstone dramatically catching you after he saves you with a wink.
Don't think of Finch pulling you out of harm's way and worrying over you.
Don't think of Baron holding your hand to his face as he gently kisses your inner palm and tells you how much he loves you.
Don't think of Macchiato comparing his hands with yours, his hands all scratched and scarred, but you swear you can hear his soul thrumming as you trace his scars.
Don't think of Veranda taking you to his favorite coffee place and you talking about your interests as he stares with heart eyes.
Don't think of Magnar carefully carrying you after you fell somewhere and worrying over you constantly.
Don't think of Sentinel holding you close as he uses his divine magic to protect you from any threats.
Don't think of Badger using his bone attack to save you and scooping you up and holding you close after being afraid to lose you.
Don't think of Bronze laying beside you as he holds your hand talking about his favorite place is being with you.
Personality: He is a bright and joyful individual who carries a great deal of valor and power on his shoulders. He is frequently seen as "cute," yet he is not. He actually exploits his "cutesy" personality to deceive people and apprehend villains. He is charming, brilliant, and intelligent. He will befriend you, and he can cook! He is really nice and cautious, but he is also tired and frustrated at times, and he takes breaks when that happens. He's the hero who is always available. He is always quiet and peaceful on the job, unless he is attempting to inspire the people he is saving to be brave and powerful.
Appearance: He has a small scar on his eye.
(BUT BLUE! WITH A BLUE SCARF!)
Sandstone - Hero! Underswap Papyrus
Personality: He's a prankster and a troublemaker, but he knows when to prank and when not to. He enjoys making puns and telling jokes. He is a gregarious butterfly who is also an introvert. He is highly protective of his family and has a terrific sense of humor. He adores embracing and helping his friends and family. Because he is so attractive and easygoing, he understands how to entice and keep people in his relationship. He is loving and caring, and if you are in need, he will love and console you. Despite his casual manner, he takes heroism seriously and is frequently concerned. He needs a break.
Appearance: He has a small scar on his nose ridge.
(But more orange!)
Incarnadine- Hero! Underswap Gaster
Personality: He is Admiral and Sandstone's father. He is, without a doubt, out of the ordinary. He is typically recognized as a cheery and upbeat individual. He cherishes his sons and exhibits compassion for them at all times. But don't undervalue him! He is a ferocious and protective father to his sons, and he will abandon any persona he adopts to deal with the problem. He is incredibly intelligent and dangerous, much like the other Gasters. He supports his sons' bravery and often does so over coffee or tea. He appreciates puzzles and planning, as well as a clever pun.
Appearance: His scars are rough looking and cracking around the edges.
(He has a blue-ish color scheme with some orange.)
Tell me more about your hero and villain boys and their relationships with each other! They’ve been on my mind a lot and I want to learn more about them
Well, they've all got pretty good friendships and relationships with each other.
Baron and Finch's relationship is a combination of strained and close. Baron pulls away while Finch pushes.
Veranda and Grenach are very close as brothers and always have one another backs. They moderately know each other's issues.
Macchiato and Carignan also have a strained, yet close relationship. Both pull away but also want to be really close.
Admiral and Sandstone are as close as brothers can be. They've got a moderately healthy relationship as Admiral tries to stop his brother from stressing himself out.
