[circleheadd]

you know I don't know if I ever posted this to my socials. I certainly can't find it anywhere... Here is a really old Horrortale illustration from 2019! I think this was the first full illustration I completed on my iPad! Something atmospheric and dramatic between Crooks and my insert Ribbon...

Made some more AU bros for my store! This time it's Horrortale and Swapfell red! (probably gonna do the other swapfell/fellswap designs too but we'll see)

Assuming this isn't something all of the boys find weird/creepy, what do they think about humans not dusting after dying and instead leaving their whole body behind? What are their thoughts on the fact that their human s/o is going to one day die and leave their dead body behind?

TW for death mention/discussion below:

I think for most, it’s not something they’d dwell on, filing it under one of those weird things humans just do, like have blood and organs, and use the bathroom.

They don’t do any of that, and it’s a little weird and maybe a little gross that their human s/o does but hey—they’re (literally) only human, and it’s normal for them, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Plus, not all humans want to just stay as the dead body, a lot do the cremation thing and then they’re ashes, and anything after that would be very similar and very familiar to monster dust and what tends to be done with it. Not so different, at least!

Broadly speaking, it might come up at some point and maybe they’d try to find out if their s/o has any particular preferences for what they want to happen to all the physical stuff they leave behind—body included—when they kick it, if they so happen to kick it before their skeletal beau and leave him in the position of handling that stuff…

But other than that, probably not something to think about overly much. The ideal is not having to worry about any of that for a good long while, after all!

There are maybe a few exceptions, though, who do have some kind of significant, stronger-than-typical opinion about the subject of humans (or their s/o in particular) leaving a corpse behind instead of dust…

Paps (Underswap Papyrus) isn’t a fan of the concept. He’s a little squeamish, generally unnerved by blood and severe injuries, and a lifeless, rotting, empty shell—especially of someone he cared about—is pretty morbid and upsetting. He definitely wants to think about it and deal with it as little as possible, so his s/o better not die too soon! And if they want him to go to a wake or funeral, they better be prepared for him to have to psych himself up to approach the casket of the deceased, or take a moment outside for a breather.

On the other hand, Mal (Swapfell Sans) is explicitly glad for the longevity of the human body. He doesn’t really care one way or the other for any other humans, but if he somehow manages to outlive his human, he thinks he’d very much appreciate that their body stuck around awhile after they left. He loves hard and digs in deep, and whatever extra time he can have for a private goodbye, to look at his s/o’s face and commit everything to memory before letting go…he’ll take it, gladly.

Slate (Horrortale Sans) is liable to dissociate around a dead body and risks the same just talking about it too much. He’s made dealt with plenty of corpses already and doesn’t want to have to deal with any more, it brings back a lot of guilt and bad memories… If—stars forbid—it ever has to be his s/o that he’s confronted with, he would just… try to hold it together and do whatever needed to be done to honor their wishes, on full autopilot if it came to that. He can have whatever breakdown he needs to have after ensuring everything they wanted for their remains has been done, they deserve that.

His brother, Papy (Horrortale Papyrus)…well, he tends to get panic attacks when humans die and their souls leave their bodies as just an empty husk. It’s a distressing concept for him that everything that makes a (human) person themselves can just…go like that, and then all they are is dead meat. …Meat which he has availed himself of in the past, and fed to others, and that was circumstantial and desperate but still very distressing to reconcile with any new occurrences. He’s giving himself a lot of immersion therapy with his choice of career, and maybe by the time his s/o passes on, he’ll be ready to cope with it…but who knows?

Aster (Gastertale Papyrus) may be a bit abashed to admit to it, but he’s not uninterested and finds it (somewhat morbidly) fascinating. The human body itself is fascinating with all its physicality and moving parts that keep everything functioning like an organic machine, and the body remaining behind even after death—for study or investigation or just as an idol of mourning—it’s…kind of cool? In fairness, though, he wouldn’t be able to muster up much of that opinion if it was his s/o’s body no longer occupied by the person he loved. Too personal, very different…

Spectr (Transcendtale Sans) is a soulless machine. He won’t age and may never die, but if he does, he might leave some sort of corpse behind himself…or maybe not, if enough magic has soaked into his metal bones to make them dissipate when the consciousness piloting them leaves. Still, he can’t really be sure, and the way humans die is a less foreign a concept to him since he’s considered that something similar could happen to him eventually. …He would rather it not happen to his s/o, though. (He’d never ask it of them, but he would want them to stay.)

PapAIrus (Transcendtale Papyrus) would have no trouble asking it of his s/o—they should stay! Just don’t die. Or, well, die, obviously, but stay anyway, like he did! He finds the concept of a body in general troublesome and limiting, so he’s pretty cavalier about humans leaving theirs behind when they die—can’t blame them in the slightest!—but he won’t be as cavalier about his human trying to shuffle off their mortal coil without a digital backup first. How are they supposed to be ‘together forever’ if one of them is trying to escape to some kind of unknowable Great Beyond?! Sheesh…

Kohl (Descendtale Sans) is…a bit of an asshole, most of the time but also when talking about human corpses. It’s one of his preferred off-color jokes to say that the dead ones are his favorite kind of humans since they’re quiet and don’t bother him… totally irreverent, but as far as his actions go, he’s actually considerably more respectful. He’s defensive and wary around most live humans because he knows what they’re capable of and the harm they can do, but there’s no danger in the empty shells they leave behind, just signs of personality and the life they once lived—laugh lines, tattoos, scars, painted nails… It cuts his venom a bit to see that, and to have the time he has with peoples’ bodies; to be entrusted (however peripherally) with sending them off to whatever final rest they’d chosen. …If his s/o decides to let him outlive them, he’d like to do the same for their shell.

And lastly, Bram (Descendtale Papyrus) is a slightly odd case. He has a bit of trouble conceptualizing the way non-magical beings die…which isn’t to say he doesn’t understand the concept of death, he’s got that down fine! But to die and not disappear into dust seems to him like something must still be there, some integral part of the being who’d inhabited the body left behind—a human residue, if you will! And as such, even if that person’s soul is gone and they’ll never move or breathe or speak or do anything else ever again, their remains should be treated as if they were still occupied, because a piece of them is still there and probably always will be. So when it’s his s/o’s time to go, he’ll see their body off to its new accommodations—the earth or a nice vase or whatever else they wanted—and then visit often to talk and hang out, like nothing had changed! …Almost.

Hiiii! More of a fluffy/silly one, but how would the boys react to their Hispanic S/O wanting to paint them like a sugar skull (una calavera) for Día de los Muertos? ((any you feel comfortable with))

Hello, and thank you for your ask! It's like I get to be in the Halloween spirit just because of it!

Please, as always, I love feedback on my work! It lets me know what you guys enjoy about my writing and gives me motivation to keep creating!

HT!Papyrus (Crooks)-

Día de los Muertos, and by extension Halloween, might become Crooks favorite holiday. It is the one time of the year most people embrace his creepy nature. He also enjoys all the candy everywhere and dressing up in costumes for fun with his friends. Its like all his favorite things at once. When you show him sugar skulls for the first time he's absolutely delighted! It's him! But candy! How amazing a holiday it must be to show skeletons in such a pretty way! When you offer to paint the design onto him, to include him in the celebration, he almost combusts in happiness. The hardest part will be getting him to sit still long enough to paint the full design. He keeps looking in the mirror to see the progress and fidgeting in excitement. When the design is completed, he almost ruins it immediately by crying. Crooks feels so pretty and festive. It's so rare for him to feel good about his appearance in recent years. After his initial gushing about the paint job, he'll absolutely attack your face with skelle-kisses till you make him stop.

US!Sans (Blue) -

Blues’ favorite nickname you've given him is sugar skull. So, when you tell him it's actually a candy and a part of a holiday, he's absolutely on board. He already liked the idea of Halloween, but a holiday about remembering lost loved ones with a skeleton motif? It might be his new favorite holiday!

He might beat you to the punch on asking for a makeover. He'd love the looks on little kids' faces when they see him coming. Not fear, like they sometimes were, but pure excitement at his prettily painted skill. He'll also use it as an excuse to have you give him affection. “DON'T YOU WANT A TASTE?” “I'M AS SWEET AS I LOOK!” “WANNA SEE IF MY MOUTH IS SUGAR TOO?”

Its as close to puns as he'll let himself get, but if it means flirting with you, and maybe getting a kiss, he's willing to make that sacrifice.

“You do know theres something wrong with that guy, right? Don’t trust ‘em.”

“Well of course Sans! Who isnt a little messed up these days?!”

“That’s not what I me-“

“Sans, you’ve got to get off your high horse and realize that not everyone is as mentally resilient as you, and that there are some people that (yap yap)…”

“well shit…..”
