A dusk doodle from the other day that is sort of also a redraw

If you are still taking requests... any papyrus with a stuffed animal? (my first thought was Edge, or Dusk, because both deserve soft comfy things)

I have the biggest soft spot for fell papyri w/ plush you are SO correct

Top 10 favorite sanses/papyruses that you would love to smooch?

Love your acc btw :))

Aw thank you!!! For both the compliment and the ask :*) I'm not much of a skeleton smoocher myself per se, but as for perhaps a platonic smooch on the cheek or forehead, I'll say...

1 - Void (Vesselfell Papyrus). This man needs more affection despite matrix bullet dodging it at every given opportunity </3

2 - Dusk (horrorfell Papyrus). He also needs a lot of affection he would struggle deeply to accept. Lots of gentle and heartfelt affection and company. I am tucking him in with like seventeen cats in his nest and placing a gentle smooch to his cheekbone 🥺😭

3 - Dos (glitchfell Papyrus). Oooh my poor poor little meow meow. He has been through SO so much, but despite his tsundere tendencies, he would actually really love some affection, once he could finally trust enough to accept it. Gentle kiss on da forehead and an otter plush to snuggle.

4 - Sky (Glitchedswap Sans). He has also been through it, he tries so so hard, my guy needs a BREAK damn. He struggles to accept help but a little cheering on would go a long way <3

5 + 6 - Lace & Cire (Lovefell brothers). They both deserve some smooches fr, and perhaps a couple of nice long baths with nice smelling candles and some sweets. Cire would appreciate a little cheek kiss but Lace would make this face until his entire skull got covered in kissies fr /silly

7 - Clover (Sweetswap Papyrus). Honestly put any swapped Papyrus here they all deserve kisses but Clover is my sweetie, I am bundling him up in a bunch of blankets and giving him some hot cocoa too

8 - Dove (Horrortale Papyrus). Do I even need to explain myself?? He deserves smooches every day of his life.

9 - Elester (Demonfell Papyrus). Ooh he’s such a big brat forever fr BUT. I do love him. Kisses right between his stupid horns <3

10 - Grief (?????? Papyrus). He’s more of a concept than a monster anymore but I would still love to keep him company for a little while and give him a little parting kiss on the forehead </3

They are almost all Papyruses </3 I'm sorry I'm biased but frankly I'd give most of my guys a forehead kiss lol

Edit: pictures now <3 (I've never drawn Grief </3)

Have Dove, Rust, and Dusk discovered any new hobbies and interests now that they're on the surface?

Oh tons! Especially Dusk, since even before things took a turn into becoming a horror au, he was still a Fell Papyrus and didn't really have access, time, or resources for hobbies.

Edit, this got away from me so it's Long lol

Dove likes to read and write, and draw a little when he can predominantly! He had a lot of self image issues to work through after surfacing, but he was starved of interaction and communication and so desperately wanted to explore the world and meet others. Unfortunately between the mental hurdles and the also significant physical hurdles of now being physically disabled, too, it was hard to actually go out and participate in...the rest of the world.

And so he found a lot of comfort in reading. Learning about the world and others, and then eventually writing and illustrating and posting his work online led to finding a really good middle ground, where he could be a part of the world without needing to physically and mentally exhaust himself. He also likes bird watching :*)

Dusk also found an interest in reading, but not so much writing himself. Connection isn't something he craves the way Dove does, mostly, he needs to find personal connection with himself. He was a lot worse off mentally than Dove and Rust upon surfacing, and it took...a while, to start coming back to himself. And he’s still walking that path, especially as he tries to come to terms with everything that (he can remember of what) happened back underground.

Instead he returns to things he used to find comfort in, like cooking and house tending, as much as he can, but he gradually opens up to reading more often, fostering/adopting cats, and upcycling, I guess you could call it. Fixing things, or finding new uses for things that can't be used for their original purpose, it brings him a lot of mental peace to fix, refurbish, and repurpose things.

Gardening, too, to a lesser degree. He generally likes being outside often, it helps remind him of where and when he is.

As for Rust, he’s probably the most resistant to allowing himself to experience peace and joy, and spends a lot of the initial recovery period just sort of hovering around and making sure things don't blow up massively in his and his brothers faces.

He’s between Dusk and Dove with as bad off as he was mentally, thanks to also experiencing a significant head injury but having better access to care in the healing period afterwards. That being said, his memories not the best, and his motor functions can be unreliable, which makes it difficult to enjoy a lot of the things he used to, like repairing machines, painting miniatures, photography, etc., which then only serves to distance him further from trying to do things for his own enjoyment.

Over time though, he comes to find he can still do things with his hands if it's not too delicate a process and he takes his time, so he likes to do things like simple origami and finger knitting. Little, easily hidden things. And while he'd deny it as a hobby, he actually enjoys analyzing movies. The score, cinematography, acting, themes, etc etc. Since he’s so stubborn about doing things for himself, he winds up typically doing things that don't require travel or expense, so borrowing movies from the library or finding them online and watching each one a handful of times to really process everything is something that's very...accessible, I guess, for him. Of course this graduates to reading books and blogs and whatnot about all the technical aspects and becoming a total movie buff, but it's not something probably anyone besides maybe his brother would ever know about him lol

FS Glass -> Ghost - espresso with orange cream swirl and caramelized cinnamon almonds • Haze - earl grey with shortbread pieces and blackberry swirl

HT -> Dove - mellon with candied pecans and cream swirls • Patch - cherry berry swirled with pie crust pieces and freeze dried berries

HF -> Dusk - dark chocolate with cream swirls, chopped cherry pieces, and cake crumbles • Eclipse - chocolate with fudge swirls, brownie pieces, and chocolate coated pretzel pieces

Is drawing Dusk with eye shaped things inside his skull a style choice or is there a lore reason for that?

Ooh inchresting question... Yes and no. Partially it's just because I thought it looked cool, but also partially because Sans's judgement eye is Eye Shaped, and I always thought that was sick as hell, and I liked to hc Papyrus has a flashy eye himself, but it's actually vertical, rather than horizontal (I think I've only drawn it a couple of times, but most notably here, and should be stated that I think this rings true of any Papyrus).

Anyways, that's the origin of the shape, however I typically draw him specifically with six-nine eyelights as symbolic representation of the plot relevant humans and how their "ghosts" torment him teehee <3

Favorite fall/chilly weather drink?

Rus - hot chocolate! Especially with lots of marshmallows. Might also really like white chocolate hot chocolate, but he doesn't like it with peppermint flavoring, or really any other flavoring besides maybe caramel.

Edge - spiced lattes. Whether it's nutmeg, cinnamon, "pumpkin spice", "spiced cider", whatever, as long as it's not too sweet too, he prefers his fall beverages with a shot of espresso lol

Stretch - mulled cider 1000%, he loves it soo much. Especially when they put a stick of cinnamon in as garnish? Forget about it.

Void - mulled cider black tea typically, but honestly any spiced tea is usually good with him. He doesn't usually add anything, but on the rare occasion he'll put a little honey in.

Cire (lovefell Sans) - dark hot chocolate with cayenne pepper. Him and his brother both love the stuff, and Lace's recipe is his favorite. The really thick, rich flavored kind.

Dusk (horrorfell Papyrus) - rooibus tea with a little brown sugar and milk. It's simple, and granted can be an any time of year favorite, but it's his favorite thing for a chilly fall morning on the porch, watching the leaves fall.

Blue - buttered rum. He’s got a little bit of a penchant for thick beverages, and he likes the way the sweetness is tempered well by strong, good quality rum. He doesn't drink often, but he makes an exception for buttered rum a few times every fall.
