Psst, hey hey, in honor of mermay, with the rest of your horror bois, what lower halves would they have O.O
I do still have the hope of getting around to writing more chapters of Flotsam and Jetsam that feature these, but since it is Mermay, I may as well post the list!
Under a cut, of course...
Sans (Undertale): A moon jellyfish, blue and squishy is practically his trademark.
Papyrus (Undertale): He's a sailfish, colorful, swift, and majestic!
Sky (Underswap Sans): Smart and fun-loving, gotta be a bottlenose dolphin for him.
Paps (Underswap Papyrus): He's a manta ray, the chill dudes of the sea.
Jasper (Underfell Sans): Sociable but not to be fucked with, he's a sea lion--not to be confused with seal, get it right 😤
Pyre (Underfell Papyrus): He's a shortfin mako shark, fast and strong but a lot less deadly than he acts like he is.
Mal (Swapfell Sans): Giant pacific octopus, he's intelligent and crafty and entirely too good at getting in and out of places he shouldn't be. 😈
Rus (Swapfell Papyrus): Snowflake moray eel, long and scaleless, friendly but shy!
Slate (Horrortale Sans): Big but gentle and curious, a little spooky to some, but a beluga whale can be a friend!
Papy (Horrortale Papyrus): A leucistic lobster, hardy and strong and a born survivor, plus very beautiful!
Ash (Undergloom Sans): He's a manatee, slow and steady, gentle and vulnerable... Hard not to want to protect him.
Yrus (Undergloom Papyrus): A lined seahorse, perhaps not the strongest swimmer, but very affectionate and loyal!
Brick (Horrorfell Sans): He's an orca, large and in charge and really not to be fucked around with--but he's got a playful social side, too.
King (Horrorfell Papyrus): A Japanese spider crab, entirely too long and spindly for his own good, but capable of surviving and thriving in incredible pressure and darkness.
Merc (Horrorswap Sans): He's a whale shark, a bit intimidating if you don't know better, but very gentle and entirely harmless if you do.
Ell (Horrorswap Papyrus): He has to be a sea turtle, permanent resting bitch-face and a tough exterior, not especially social but maybe there's some exceptions...
Pitch (Horrorswapfell Sans): A viperfish, well suited for the dark of the deep sea, swift and sharp and shiny~
Nemo (Horrorswapfell Papyrus): He's a chambered nautilus, self-protective in a hard shell, but elegant in his own way.
Sunny (Gastertale Sans): A sixbar wrasse, colorful, tropical, and notoriously difficult to keep in captivity--he needs to swim free!
Aster (Gastertale Papyrus): A banded mantis shrimp, long swift limbs with good reach and excellent camouflage to make good use of it.
Spectr (Transcendtale Sans): He's a giant oarfish, very difficult to encounter and even more difficult to fathom (the one in the picture is not even close to full grown).
PapAIrus (Transcendtale Papyrus): A giant squid, elusive and hard to pin down, with enough tentacles to get into anything he wants.
Xanth (Ascendswap Sans): A flying fish, a fanciful creature built to peek at worlds he wasn't meant for.
Piper (Ascendswap Papyrus): He'd be a Pacific eagle ray, sleek and dapper but not without defensive barbed stingers that pack a punch.
Carmine (Underfell Fruition Sans): A hagfish, sleek and slippery, able to wiggle his way out of just about anything--even if he might make a mess of it.
Tank (Underfell Fruition Papyrus): A great white shark, the ultimate of predators, but in spite of being big and strong and deadly, often more curious than he is violent.
Vi (Swapfell Fruition Sans): He's a striped eel catfish, easily underestimated and seemingly unremarkable, but with extremely venomous spines that make him a lot more dangerous than he looks.
Hunter (Swapfell Fruition Papyrus): A stealthy, deadly predator, solitary but not without his curiosity and desire to play--he has to be a leopard seal.
Kohl (Descendtale Sans): Somewhat ironically an angelshark, lurking at the bottom of the seabed and feeding on whatever dares to come too close.
Bram (Descendtale Papyrus): A yeti crab, or vent crab, surviving in extreme environments and adapting to life in unlivable conditions by becoming much stranger.
I’m wondering how long S/O have cuddle/ lovingly hold the main papyri hostage until they fall asleep. I imagine they try to fight sleep as much as possible or do they except sleep if their S/O tells them it’s bed time?
Let me offer you: all Papyruses.
Undertale Papyrus - It can take quite a long time. Papyrus loves to cuddle, but he's also very talkative in the evening. He is still sort of scared of going to sleep, even if it's better now that you're here. Just the habit of sleeping late and the fear of his recurrent nightmares, he guesses. Anyway, he will try to find talking subjects for long hours, hoping you will fall asleep before him so he can clean the house or something. Little did he know that talking is tiring and you have more patience than he thought you have, and eventually, he talks himself to sleep without even realizing it. It's funny, though, to see him try to talk as he is half sleepy. You can have surprising love confessions this way.
Underswap Papyrus - It's not that difficult. Honey loves to cuddle, and he always falls asleep in the middle of the cuddle sessions. The only difficulty is forcing him into bed. Honey is a big reader, and if he's focused on his reading, he will bargain to read yet another chapter even though it's the tenth "last chapter i promise". But once he's in bed, it takes not five minutes of cuddling for him to fall asleep.
Underfell Papyrus - You will fall asleep first. Edge's rule is to never fall asleep before his S/O, just in case. He will fight sleep until you're asleep, then guard you for an hour or so, and then only he goes to sleep. It's an old habit from the Underground. He doesn't like to feel like you have to protect him when he's the one supposed to do that. He loves the cuddles though. Edge is cute in the evening, all sweet and trying to make his S/O safe enough to sleep. It's his night routine.
Horrortale Papyrus - It doesn't take very long. Willow is usually exhausted at the end of the day as he's doing a ton of stuff everyday. He's more than happy to go to sleep. He cuddles because he wants you to know he loves you, but ten minutes after he abandons you for deep sleep land.
Horrorswap Papyrus - It depends. In the good days, it doesn't take very long, as he loves sleeping, it's like his favorite thing ever. His little routine is usually to play with his S/O's hands and it pretty much puts him to sleep in minutes. In the bad days though, usually after a panic attack, it's hard to get him to focus enough to sleep. He's jumpy at any sound and shaking, and even if he's obviously very happy to cuddle to comfort himself, sometimes, he just can't sleep. This is not a fun time for him, as when he doesn't sleep, he struggles to be functionnal the next day and it can cause another panic attack to show up.
Horrorfell Papyrus - Like Edge, he prefers to be the last one falling asleep. And I mean in general. Chief often drives around the farm on his wheelchair just to make sure everyone is safe and sleeping, and only then only there does he authorize himself to relax. If you drag him into bed before that, he will most likely pretend to sleep to appease you and then go to make his tour anyway. It's a little stronger than Edge, and you can tell it's a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder due to trauma Underground. He lost too many people, he's scared he will lose more and he can't let it happen.
Horrorswapfell Papyrus - Tiger is mostly nocturnal, so it's complicated to get him to sleep at night. He tries to fix it, but he doesn't feel comfortable enough on the Surface to give up that habit. It's just that at night, he's less at risk of facing someone who wants to attack him. It's completely irrational as he knows by now there is no one coming to attack him, but he doesn't feel safe knowing everyone is asleep if something happen. He sleeps a lot during the day, though, as he knows at least his brother has his back if something happens. If you work during the night though, he's the perfect match.
Swapfell Papyrus - Well, it depends on his level of excitement. If you tire him out throughout the day, there's little problem getting him to sleep. He loves cuddles, and he loves to sleep. If not, well, good luck with that. Rus will find ways to bother you, even more if he notices you're trying to force him to sleep. Rus doesn't like being force to do something and will find alternatives ways to disappoint you to prevent it.
Fellswap Gold Papyrus - It takes no effort for Coffee to go to sleep, and he's actually looking for it. He loves his night routine with his S/O, and he could die to cuddle for many more hours before going to sleep. Coffee is clingy and you're for sure not going to be cold during the night as he's choking you against him like some overgrown plushie.
Outertale Papyrus - This is a nightmare. Sun is a nanny, and he is a STRESSED nanny. That means in the evening, he will prepare 200 things in relation to his next day of work, including preparing meals, activities, cleaning the house, and dealing with the parents of the kids. He will get up at least five times before finally settling in, or you'll have to physically restrain him to be sure he doesn't leave the bed again. He will still argue and complain for a solid hour before you convince him to relax and sleep, with mixed results. He's trying, but it's not exactly a success yet.
Dancetale Papyrus - It depends! When he's on tour, he's ending his shows at impossible hours so his sleep schedule is a mess, and he will struggle to sleep, even with his S/O trying to help. During the months of break, though, he's more than happy to go to sleep with his S/O, cuddling in bed. He likes calm moments, as his life is full of excitement all the time, and it can be tiring. He loves being an artist, but he's glad when he can have a normal life as well.
Dancefell Papyrus - You won't have peace before you confiscate his damn phone. Tango has a screen addiction, and he likes to watch the statistics of his TikTok grow. To convince him to sleep, you have to force him sometimes as he can stay awake all night looking at his phone. Once he has no distractions anymore, he falls asleep in minutes cuddling you. Be careful though, he will try to have his phone back after you fall asleep.
Farmtale Papyrus - You barely say good night that he's already sleeping lol. Ben is a farmer so his days are pretty exhausting and when it's time to sleep, it's time to sleep. You're sort of offended he didn't even offer a hug.
Mafiatale Papyrus - Yeah, right, he's so sleeping right now, oooh, look at how much sleep he gets. The second you're out, he leaves the bed and escapes by the window. You'll never know he didn't spend the night here. It's best you don't know what he's doing on his nights anyway.
Mafiafell Papyrus - Please, yes. Torpedo is working all the time, and he's desperate to spend more time with his S/O. So when he's there in the evening, he takes his time, cooks dinner, and then spends time cuddling in bed. He probably won't sleep right away, as he knows work might call him at any hour, but he wants to cherish those small moments where he doesn't have to be the leader of the mafia.
Disbelief Papyrus - It depends on how close you are to when he left the Underground. The first months are extremely difficult, and he has horrible nightmares that make him want to not sleep anymore. It will pass with the years, and a night routine. He feels better when things repeat again and you quickly become his comfort zone. He needs his evening cuddles before sleeping, and he's not sleeping if he doesn't have them, as he knows old demons will come back to hurt him.
From what I remember- it was a oneshot self-insert where Sans became… aware? I can’t remember if the “insert” made him aware or if he had already had a bit of an… idea?
But basically Sans realizes that when saying “y/n” he… doesn’t actually know what he’s saying. It’s YOUR NAME, but… when written he just keeps writing “y/n” or sum.
Basically I think he has like a whole breakdown? Realizing he doesn’t ACTUALLY know “y/n” “e/c” “f/c” or whatever other abbreviations there are. He knows that whatever he’s saying IS your name/eyecolor/hair color/etc… but that… he can’t write them down. He doesn’t actually know. You… don’t actually exist??
I really wanna find it again, or any fics that covered that if there were multiple, but I fr cannot find any.
Ain’t no damn way I’m the only one who read that, and I sure af could not have possibly dreamed it in such detail as I recall.
This, but it’s one of the “edgy”/horror bros sayin skeletor’s line, w like… anyone else doin some sort of look that basically says “yeah”
(Could be a “well duh”, “got any other ideas?”, “worth a shot!”, or even just straight up puppydog eyes)
I haven’t got artistic (in the drawing sense) abilities (possibly in any sense but that’s the only kind that matters rn) so I send this idea into the void… with the hopes that perhaps someone desperate for some sort of silly art idea goes “ha, yeah that could be funny”

What did i use as inspiration when writing HS!Gaster?
hiya poppy! i dunno if this is a silly ask but I’m a bit curious… do any of your unique boys have weird condiment obsessions or comfort foods?? tale sans has ketchup, swap paps has honey and so on, i assume that the rest of hoodie gang (what i loosely refer to the lazy brother role as) has the same weird habits. mostly curious about ash, brick, ell, nemo, sunny!
(Anon, I know you did not initially send this on anon, and you included an Art with it that I enjoyed very much, which is why I was so very upset to somehow lose this ask??? Luckily, tumblr cannot eat my emails so I still had the text saved and can at least answer the question, but if you wanted to re-add your art to this post, I would like that very much 😭)
I did do a favorite condiments/toppings post ages ago, when I only had ten of these losers, so it might be about time to update it!
Sans (Undertale): Yeah, it’s ketchup, he likes it on anything and everything, and he will drink it straight ‘cause he’s a terrible gremlin man. He started doing it as a joke to freak people out but it grew on him and, uh… well, now, he just likes it. This is his life and he has no shame.
Papyrus (Undertale): Nothing so uncouth as his brother, ugh! …But… on occasion…very rare occasion, mind you! He…has been known to sneak a spoonful of peanut butter straight out of the jar… Just the one, though, he never double-dips! He’s not disgusting!
Sky (Underswap Sans): As far as condiments go, he likes relish! He won’t eat it straight, if anyone’s looking, but who doesn’t like a hearty helping of it plopped onto a hot dog? Or a hot cat, he’s not picky! Spicy or sour is equally fine, just not the biggest fan of sweet.
Paps (Underswap Papyrus): Nothing new here, he likes honey a whole heck of a lot, though mostly just to sweeten his tea… or in a candy-bar, or drizzled on a pastry or something… Damn, he’s making himself hungry just thinking about it…
Jasper (Underfell Sans): Mustard, obviously, anything else on a ‘dog is the blatantly incorrect choice. Also pretty good on a sandwich, but you’re never gonna catch him guzzling it straight from the bottle. He never tried to pull that prank like his classic counterpart did, and never got accidentally hooked on his own condiment of choice. Ha!
Pyre (Underfell Papyrus): He’ll deny it to his dusting breath, but you cannot bring Nutella or any kind of chocolate spread into the house and expect it to still be there when you come back. He will eat it directly out of the jar, the whole thing, especially if he’s had a hard day or something. You’ll just never find the evidence. He’ll do it with ice cream, too, so y’know…keep an eye on your groceries.
Mal (Swapfell Sans): He likes spicy flavors so any kind of salsa or hot sauce is a favorite for him. His tolerance is damn good, so he can–and will–pull a Power Move and drink it straight if he feels the situation calls for it, but he generally just likes it on his food, like a normal person. Don’t test him, though, remember the freak that lies just beneath the surface…
Rus (Swapfell Papyrus): Can he pick literally everything sweet ever? No? Okay, then it’s probably maple syrup that he likes best, he’ll have it on waffles, in candy, or even to sweeten up some normally more savory foods like beans or ham or just about anything else you can think of. …Not that he, uh…really knows how to cook, himself… But he was a picky eater as a kid and syrup was easy to get in Snowdin, so it was usually used as a bribe to get him to eat A Thing He Didn’t Like and it’s a bit of a comfort-flavor for him now!
Slate (Horrortale Sans): For obvious reasons… he’s not picky. He’ll eat anything– burnt, flavorless, or even a little moldy, just drown it in ketchup and it’s good as gold. Like his classic counterpart, he’ll drink it straight, but surprisingly he’s also developed a bit of a fondness for mayo, mostly post-surfacing. It is not an unusual occurrence to find him just eating it straight, especially if he’s managed to get ahold of one of those squeeze-tubes that make it even easier. You might think he’s trying to pull a vanilla-pudding-in-the-mayo-jar prank but…alas, it’s real.
Papy (Horrortale Papyrus): He’s in the health field and knows in great detail why this is a thing he should probably not be doing but… You know those tubs of whipped topping…? Yeah, he’ll eat that with a spoon until the, “Oh My God, Why Am I Doing This” thoughts hit him and he shamefully puts it back. It would easily be one of the most mortifying moments of his life if you ever caught him at it, standing in front of the fridge in the dark at two in the morning like an oil-and-corn-syrup-loving cryptid.
Ash (Undergloom Sans): Worcestershire sauce is probably his top choice of condiment. His brother’s cooking has spoiled him a little bit, so plain old ketchup doesn’t quite cut it for him anymore. A lot of his favorite foods are hearty, heavy, meaty or all of the above, and Worcestershire can go on and in most of them! Now, will he drink it? No, probably not… but if there’s any on his plate that he can sop up with a bread roll and eat, he absolutely will be doing so.
Yrus (Undergloom Papyrus): No one can know. Whenever he buys those little jars of maraschino cherries, it’s for garnishing drinks or desserts or whatever else he might need them for, and when he cleans out the jars to reuse them for other things, there’s no reason to wonder what he’s done with the juice, probably dumped it, right? Well…no. He drinks it, straight from the jar, like some kind of fucked up, bookish skeleton hummingbird. Don’t judge him!!!
Brick (Horrorfell Sans): Whether he acknowledges it or not, he’s living a bit more of the high life these days than he used to, and with that tends to come some upgrades in the little things around you. In his case, that means he still prefers mustard over any condiment, but it’s Dijon mustard specifically that he tends to reach for—a bit fancier, more of a bite to it, and now the plain yellow stuff feels like a downgrade. He’ll eat whatever, he’s not picky, but y’know…if given the option…
King (Horrorfell Papyrus): He has no such vices…that he’ll admit to. But neither will he back down or show even a hint of shame if you catch him squirting a bottle of chocolate syrup straight into his shaker full of milk that you may have previously assumed was a protein or workout shake of some kind. As for whether or not he’ll drink the syrup straight… You’ll never catch him. Don’t even try.
Merc (Horrorswap Sans): Probably sweet-and-sour sauce for him, there’s a lot of different things to use it on and he likes the versatility of that. To the point that he’d drink it? Yes, sure, boldly so, in front of anyone, admittedly mostly as a bit for the reaction but hey, it’s tangy and delicious, no regrets!
Ell (Horrorswap Papyrus): His favorite topping to snack on is also a backfired prank. His brother is a baker and buys more new and unnecessary kinds of sprinkles than anyone could ever reasonably need, and he may’ve stolen a bottle or two to see how long it’d take him to notice. …And then maybe…grazed on them a little bit one time, when he was hungry and busy and didn’t want to get up. In his defense…they’re crunchy?
Pitch (Horrorswapfell Sans): He’s still all about the hot sauce, baby! Buffalo sauce in particular is probably the favorite, perfect for wings, but he’ll branch out if there are options—especially if they’re advertised as the hottest around, or put to him as a challenge. He’s a defiant thrill-seeker at heart, he all but has to drink it straight from the bottle if someone thinks so highly of it.
Nemo (Horrorswapfell Papyrus): He’s a caramel fiend. He pretty much always has been, in its candy form, but pretty much as soon as he started cooking for himself and realized how easy it was to just put a few things in a pan and have caramel sauce? It was over for him, he does it all the time now. It’s lucky if it actually makes it on top of anything because he’ll eat it by the spoonful almost straight out of the pan, but if he doesn’t, it’s still a perfectly good snack after it’s cooled a little. Not even store-bought jars last any longer in his house.
Sunny (Gastertale Sans): He loves a good steak sauce, obviously for steaks but on pretty much anything—burgers, sandwiches, jazzing up some veggies, what can’t it do? He’s not quite at the level of drinking it straight from the bottle, but it can seem close some days when he’s really slathering it on.
Aster (Gastertale Papyrus): Definitely some kind of weakness for tahini. It makes such a good dip, or spread, or partner with jam on toast to make a not-quite-pb&j, so even though he doesn’t usually find it on a menu, he tends to keep some around the house. Would he eat it all by itself? Has he? Well, what’s the fun in just telling? He has some kind of mystique to maintain, you know…
Spectr (Transcendtale Sans): Ketchup is super nostalgic for him, a very comforting flavor. He’ll totally drink it straight or eat it out of a packet just for the taste of it, even if he doesn’t have the hunger to actually eat it with something. He’s also gotten a bit more adventurous, though, and is a lot more open to trying different varieties of ketchup, and those trendy combos with other things—spicy ketchup, mayochup, thousand island—if it’s available, he’ll try it, and he’s slowly amassing a personal catalogue of favorites tried all across the globe.
PapAIrus (Transcendtale Papyrus): He doesn’t eat. He doesn’t need to and he’s not actually capable of it, so… It’s fine, he really doesn’t miss it or think about it much. …But whenever he gets around to having that back-up body made, probably the first thing he’d eat with it is a big jar of peanut butter, the crunchy kind.
Xanth (Ascendswap Sans): Having almost completely done away with any sense of shame and a large amount of awareness of social norms, he is no longer shy of straight-up eating relish. He is also not shy of going for maximum sour, vinegary flavor and will fully sip pickle juice out of the jar. He is living his truth and we are all so proud.
Piper (Ascendswap Papyrus): Did I call somebody else a hummingbird? I should’ve saved it for him, he’s graduated from honey to something a bit more concentrated—agave syrup. He follows the trends a little more attentively these days, gave it a try when he heard about it as a honey-substitute, and that was…kind of it. His sweet tooth is his weakness, and he doesn’t even mind paying a little more for the ethically sourced brands, he’s too hooked on that super-sweet sweetness for his tea and candy and pastries and whatever else he can find to drizzle it on.
Carmine (Underfell Fruition Sans): He’s a cool ranch guy, all the way. As a dip, it’s the perfect accompaniment to anything crunchy and he’ll freely load up his carrots and celery and chips with it. As a proper condiment, it’ll go on anything from pizza to burgs, and while he’s definitely taken a swig once, just to try it, he probably likes it better as supporting cast than the lead act.
Tank (Underfell Fruition Papyrus): He was ruined the first time a jar of marshmallow fluff came into his possession. He didn’t get much in the way of sweets growing up, so pure, soft, sticky sugar…? He has no defense against it. He’ll actually need to be told you can make things with it if you want to, because eating it with a spoon is all he knows and that’ll be a beautiful brave new world for him.
Vi (Swapfell Fruition Sans): He’s a barbecue sauce fan. His preference is for the smoky or spicy kind, but even the sweeter stuff has its charm and he hasn’t really eaten a kind he hasn’t somewhat liked. He won’t take a swig from a bottle, but if he ever comes across a brand he really likes, he may go out of his way to buy some to take home, and that's a huge compliment from him.
Hunter (Swapfell Fruition Papryus): Butterscotch is his thing, actually. He likes it as a topping in sauces and cocktails quite a bit, but if there happen to be any butterscotch chips around, that’s more to his preference. Be wary trying to get any baking with them done around him, he actually prefers them outside of the baked goods and he’s not above petty theft. In fact, he’s below it, far below it, a little quick yoinkery is the least of what he’ll do to get something he wants.
Kohl (Descendtale Sans): He’s a soy sauce kind of guy. It’s salty, savory, and strong, a little goes a long way even to overpower a flavor you’re sick of, but you have to eat because it’s nearly all there is… Yeah, he got a little hooked on it when monsters started eating the echo flower root, and it stuck around as a new favorite after. Would he drink it? Not unless it would be really funny, he has limited room in the tank these days and would prefer to use it for food he likes, not on a bit.
Bram (Descendtale Papyrus): Nothing beats a nice crème anglaise drizzled over something sweet… Of course, he’s not much of a cook so mostly he just waits for vanilla ice cream to melt and that’s basically the same thing, right? Ice cream soup is delicious and also a perfectly valid topping for all manner of deliciousness, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!
And as for comfort foods…well that’s a whole other post to update! ;)
