Have you explained / updated the lore behind collars in fellverse culture?
I can go in depth for each au!
Underfell/horrorfell: collars were seen as both a type of armor and job title. Certain collar styles were only allowed to be worn by the guard with special designs going to higher positions. Some collars represented working classes like the farmer folk or construction. Underfell monsters today have mostly done away with collars and they’re rarely seen anymore
Swapfell/Lustswapfell: collars were a symbol of wealth in swapfell. They were beautifully adorned and only worn by the elite, or the monsters who the rich and powerful “owned”. A plain collar was basically an admittance that you were so far in debt to someone you might as well be an object. Brutal. Collaring for this reason was outlawed by swapfell toriel but in some shady areas it’s still a thing.
Fellswap red:collaring like in underfell was more of a job title indicator, but there was less emphasis on protection and utility. And they tended to only be worn by non-combatants as a way of saying “I’m not looking for trouble”
Fellswap gold/ lustgold: collars represented ownership/protection. The collar came with the coat of arms of the monster overseeing its wearer. If the collar is really frilly and dainty looking, it also represented a claim/outward bond between soulmates. With the elite, a lacy collar is given as an engagement gift
Lustred: collars were like gang wear. The color of the collar told every one what area you’re from. And not wearing any collar meant that you’re unaffiliated and anyone can take a shot at you.
Lustfell: collars represented ownership as well, but purely in a relationship way. Often richer stronger monsters would collar their mates as a way of flexing on others that they’re taken. Often the monster with the harem wore a collar as well, matching their soulmates/parters, but with one detail changed to point out that they’re the leader.
These are the only AUs that actually used collars for social reasons. Collars in any of the other AUs are just a fashion statement
Sir: the voice is a bit of a turn off Ngl, but hey if he’s a paying customer and following the rules, sir won’t turn him away.
Weasel: he breaks character a bunch during the session cause he keeps laughing. Golum probably hates weasel by the end
Butler: f*ck no. He has standards.
Gold: yes he would if golum was a customer, and gold is perfect for golum just like he is for all his customers. Gold has a surprisingly good hold of his expressions when he gets a customer he’s not particularly attracted to.
Pesto: he doesn’t take customers anymore, but if he did he would make golum pay extra lmao
Flambé: golum better pay a small fortune for Flambe because he is not impressed
Maybe do an updated version of the introvert vs. extrovert list ask in masterlist 2, but with all the skeles?
Alright. *breaks fingers* let’s do this!!
Introverts: honey basil red rust lord mutt coffee butler gold Pluto Helios peaches ram pitch moose quill harpy papaya sails Alden barin saga snipe slim pop tempo green lens cricket tinker partner rowdy
Extroverts: papyrus Star willow lilac edge noir mal cash charm sugar sparks lush sir Flambe pesto Jupiter orion barley crow roost mango fisher Jasper Finn hook captain silex Ollivander arwin Hilda bruiser butch boss rhythm vibrato gears zen thistle yarrow
Ambiverts: sans oak wine salt pepper weasel atlas Artemis rancher cider maple Pearl ace G compass taffy pudding stitches shield
Longer answers: under the cut cause it’s a long fkn list
Sans: he truly is fine with or without company. Simply put sans is just too lazy to care. While he does value his privacy, that’s more in the lines of what his thoughts are. Sans doesn’t give out his true intentions easily. And he can keep being a secretive little jokester in the privacy of his own home, or surrounded by friends. It doesn’t make a difference to him.
Papyrus (and willow): papyrus loves people! He thrives on being surrounded by other happy faces. When he’s alone too long, his more anxious thoughts start turning creep in, so having friends or just any people around is always preferable.
Star (and lilac): he’s an extrovert cause it’s a lot easier to have fun with others than by yourself. Daily tasks just don’t hit as hard without commentary from other people to fill the silence. Star hates silence lol
Honey (and basil): he’s an introvert cause people are scary. It takes a while for him to get comfortable. Therefore it’s just easier to have his me time by himself.
Red (and rust): introvert. He doesn’t like people. And he’s territorial and likes his space. There’s really nothing deep to it
Edge (and noir): extrovert. The best work is done with a proper team and edge prefers his allies around him. He’s learned over the years that just life is simply more.. enjoyable with others, even if they sometimes hold him back he feels
Oak: while he and sans are both ambiverts, it’s for entirely different reasons. Oak simply can’t be introverted. It’s not safe for him to be along long times with his memory. And his perception of time is trash, so he gets nervous if he’s alone too long. But at the same time he would really rather not be always surrounded you know?
Mal: extrovert obviously. Come on, this gossip queen can be nothing else! After all you need many friends in order to get good tea~
Cash: he loves his besties, and causing chaos is always better in groups. You need people to take the blame with you after all lol. Cash prefers having company, mostly of very close friends, but he’ll take others too. He’s pretty extroverted
Lord: he’s a total introvert. He’s only happy to be around a small handful of special people all day, and even then he still needs breaks from them periodically lol
Mutt: he was an extrovert before his LV sickness, but his inability to connect has made him loose his taste for always wanting companionship, so he’s more introvert these days. Unless it’s the right person that is…
Wine: he quite likes lazy days alone, but he equally loves outings with groups. Wine just lets the day take him wherever it may go with no real preference. So ambivert
Coffee: total introvert. He doesn’t like people, and when he is actually in the mood to socialize, it’s for a very limited time frame lol.
Pluto: he’s such a little introvert. He has to get himself psyched up for a day beforehand first when he knows he’ll be in a group larger than four for a few hours. Pluto is perfectly happy spending his days researching alone instead
Jupiter: sports are better with teammates so 100% extrovert.
Orion: his lazy devil may care personality is deceiving. Orion thrives in company, he craves interaction. He’s the guy who will look at a complete stranger and go up to them to get their life story. Total extrovert
Atlas is an ambivert because while he can enjoy company, he doesn’t necessarily need it. He just needs adventure and gossip. It doesn’t have to come from a face to face source, but it doesn’t have to be alone to be enjoyable either
Helios: while he has a great stage face, that’s all it is, a fake face. Helios never liked the spotlight, it’s just another thing he endures so he can stay in the fight. He’d much rather be chilling alone in his Snuggie than dealing with people all the time
Artemis: she’d have been extroverted if she hadn’t been shut away in a hospital room for most of her life. Artemis is used to being alone, but she also loves interaction
Charm: he hates being alone with his thoughts. The brain is cold and hard, other peoples beds are soft and warm~ extrovert
Sugar: he just loves everybody! Of course he wants to hang out!! Total extrovert. If anyone argues otherwise they don’t know sugar at all
Sparks: I could repeat sugars answer and you have sparks pretty much. He loves everyone! Extrovert!
Salt: he’s ambivert as he likes people, but he likes his own space too. He needs a healthy balance of both to feel fulfilled
Lush: he’s a tragic extrovert. Lush craves companionship and company, but finds it very hard to make said friends that fufills that. So he pretends it doesn’t matter when it very much does. Please be friends with him!
Pepper: he’s incredibly picky about the company he keeps, and honestly doesn’t care if that means a few days alone or not. Pepper can entertain himself. But he does throughly love hanging out whenever with the ones he deems worthy. Ambivert
Sir: he’s a nosy bugger and likes being around every one so he can know what’s going on at all times. Sir is a great extrovert!
Weasel: he doesn’t really care if he’s causing chaos with friends, or just chilling alone. There are many ways weasel keeps himself entertained. He’s pretty independent. Ambivert
Butler: he tolerates large groups if he likes the people in them, but it doesn’t stop him from craving that sweet sweet alone time. He’s a social introvert.
Gold: while he does love being with friends, his social battery is way smaller than he acts it is actually. You can tell golds getting tired the more he flirts. He’s secretly hoping he can get this interaction over with so he can go back and work on his outfits
Flambe: all eyes on him ladies and gentleman~ extrovert lol. He loves attention too much not to be
Pesto: like Flambe, pesto craves attention and validation. And he wants it from lots of friends. He’s not in a place where he can feel that again, but he’s getting there. Extrovert
Peaches: he’s perfectly happy with just his trees, and family. But even with a large family, he knows he’ll get all his me time during his work in the orchid. He’s a sweet introvert
Rancher: he’s top goal driven to be introvert or extrovert. He doesn’t care if he’s alone or together with people, as long as he’s achieving the thing he wants to do right now!
Cider: he prizes peace, but peace can come in a group just as much as when it’s just him. Cider is used to a cramped large family, so being surrounded doesn’t bother him. But he’s also perfectly fine alone for a while. He’s definitely ambivert
Barley: he’s so extroverted he literally feels itchy if he’s been alone too long lol. Barley jokes that he’s allergic to solitude
Ram: things are just easier to understand when it’s just him. Ram does prize his alone time and peace. So introverted.
Pitch is easily the most introverted skeleton on this list. He’d be just fine socially if the only three people left in the world were him, Ram and maybe a nice gal/guy for ram lol.
Moose: he’s pretty introverted. While he does like outings, he wants to plan ahead for them. Or else he feels very drained afterwards. It is what it is
Maple: as long as a chainsaw is involved, maple doesn’t care if he’s alone or with 100 people. People that know chainsaw safety that is lol. He’s ambivert
Quill: he’s so introverted it hurts. Groups larger than 3 drain him so fast. He even needs breaks from best friends occasionally
Crow: he’s totally extroverted! Crow thinks people make everything so much more interesting! Yes he would like to hear about your day! Give him all those details!!
Roost: he’s a ladies man~ and a lads man~ and a platonic but flirty chill dude/dudettes guy! Roost just likes fun banter and prefers it over none at all. He’s pretty extroverted
Harpy: she truly doesn’t care if she does everything by herself, or if she has competent partners around her. In her main social life she’s seen as ambivert, but personally she feels as if she leans more towards introverted. While she puts up a good farce, she does just feel.. better alone. More calm.
Mango: she feels more secure surrounded by people she likes, preferably humans but she has monster friends too who’ve earned her trust! Mango is definitely extroverted!
Papaya: he’s more on the introverted side of the spectrum. Papaya is friendly and kind, but he simply just needs a dose of peace and quiet every day to function.
Fisher: his favorite activity in life is playfully tormenting others, and since that requires other people to work, extrovert it is~
Jasper: intellectually he knows he’s a walking dumpster fire if left to his own devices so Jasper constantly seeks out company from buddies. And he does like it lol. So he’s very extroverted
Finn: he quite literally took a job in the royal guard, then as a scout master cause it involves working with other people! Finn loves people and loves helping them! He’s extroverted for sure!
Sails: his ideal day is just him, his dog and a nice day out on his boat in the ocean. Nobody needing anything from him. Sails knows he’s an introvert and is cool with this about himself
Hook: he gets lonely easily, and seeks out lots of companionship and drama cause of it. Hooks always been extroverted because of this. It’s why he’s so happy on the ship with all his crew mates
Captain has honestly never had a life where he was alone. In his old au he shared a ship with many others, and now he captains a navy vessel with a crew on his own. He’d feel quite off if he ever did find himself alone. Captain is definitely extroverted
Pearl quite likes her relaxing me time, but she has no issues pleasing the masses as well as a princess. The spotlight on her is heavy but not exhausting. She’s a good ambivert.
Silex: this man is so extroverted lol. He wants to meet every one and see it all!!! It’s hard to imagine him as anything else
Alden: he’s happiest when it’s just him in his art studio. No distractions. Alden is for sure introverted even though he comes across as one of the more friendly skeletons
Ollivander: the reason his bank is so successful is because in part of how personable Ollie is! Ollivander is an extroverted fellow, and that friendly helpful face he puts on at work is very much genuine. Unless you aren’t paying your debts that is~
Hilda: she’s so obviously extroverted lol. And sucks for her since she was raised in a family of quiet polite high class introverts lol. Hilda felt pretty repressed growing up, leading to the over the top personality she has these days
Saga: she’s very much introverted. Saga is happy to just be left to her books for the rest of her life. But she will tolerate polite companions for a bit each day
Barin: he’s introverted, always has been. But his duties require him to manage a lot of people. So Barin powers through like he does with everything else in life. He really really values what little alone time he does have though
Arwin: he’s the extroverted life of the party! Arwin is a fan of having many fans and wears his posse like a badge of honor lol
Snipe: he hates people. And he probably hates you too. So don’t bother him. Introverted
Bruiser: he loves meeting his favorite people. And things are simply just too boring without them! So bruiser is very extroverted. He’s a needy friend lol
Butch: in order to kick *ss and take names, there needs to be *ss to kick and names to take, so for the sake of all his crazy shenanigans, butch must be extroverted lol
Boss: he craves companionship despite his best efforts to pretend he doesn’t. Boss feels quite lonely when he finds himself with nothing to do. Hence why he bosses his brothers around so much. He’s extroverted
Ace: causing chaos with (or against) others is fun~ causing chaos alone is also fun~ ace is a true ambivert
Slim: he’d rather hurl than have to be around people all the time. And his best friendships are more than often done through a screen. Slim is introverted all the way
Pop: he’s a very friendly and random introvert! He comes across as a quirky socialite though when- oh where did he go? Did he ditch every one again?
Rhythm: dancing is simply more fun with a partner so rhythm must be extroverted! Besides you need a mob to make a flash mob lol
Tempo: he’s very much introverted. After all he need solitude in order to make the compositions he loves! And he’s happiest when he’s creating
Vibrato: it’s a good thing he’s extroverted with how much he’s on stage! He loves his fans so much! And the paparazzi, and his bodyguards who keep him from the paparazzi lol
Lens: even without his paranoia, lens has always been more on the introverted side. There’s certain people he trusts enough to be fine around whenever, but anyone else is very tiring for him emotionally. It takes lens a long time to open up
Cricket: he’s introverted as well, a bit of a surprising fact for anyone who often sees him with cash and mal. Cricket likes his alone time at the junkyard. Only best friends can drag him away from it lol
G: he’s ambivert for sure. G does quite like being surrounded by people, but there’s something equally alluring with exploring life on his own too. He’s a go with the flow guy. Whatever fits better with that days plans works fine
Green: while socializing is enjoyable, green needs time to recoup and heal from it. He thinks very hard when he’s with people and even if he likes them and what they do together, he’s simply just tired afterwards. So introverted
Gears: he’s extroverted, but just barely. Gears can be alone for ages when he’s caught in creating a new trinket, but when he’s away from that (and lucid after he gets out of the inventors haze lol) he craves companionship! He wants to chat! To hang out! To be doted on lol
Compass: he’s a true ambivert. He’s happy playing and exploring on his own, but if someone wants to join he’s perfectly chill with adding them. No fuss. It’s not that deep for him
Zen: he’s an extroverted boy! Zen is just so curious about people. He wants to hear their stories! Plus it pleases the little host inside of him to have lots of others around!
Shield: hes ambiverted. While shield enjoys company, he also enjoys his independence quite a bit. Shield likes toeing the line between popular social guy and cool independent lone wolf. Why confine yourself to one label when you can have both?
Taffy: she doesn’t care for quantity of friends, just the quality. And if that means she’s alone sometime, well that doesn’t bother her. Taffy is a good ambivert
Pudding comes off as extroverted pretty easily, but she’s quite ambiverted really. Most of her social butterfly mask is just that, a mask. She enjoys the play bit doesn’t need it to feel fulfilled
Partner: he’s more introverted. And it reflects in what he does when he’s off the clock. When partner isn’t playing his part as sheriff, he takes a lot of time alone to himself
Rowdy never really got to explore himself socially as a child, so he’s trying very hard right now to come across as social open and adventurous. He’s been realizing over time though that he really just wants to be left to himself for most of the time. Adventure is only fun when it’s scheduled in with plenty of me time breaks in between. He’s an introvert
Stitches: he’s happy nerding out with friends, or nerding out alone! Online forums are a thing too. Stitches doesn’t need lots of companionship to be happy although it is fun. He’s ambivert.
Tinker: anyone who knows this monster can just smell the introvert oozing out of him lol. He crochets all day alone and loves it that way
Thistle: he’s extroverted! In fact he gets jittery if he’s been alone too long. He starts feeling unsafe. Loneliness is scary man
Yarrow: yarrow too is more extroverted for sure. Being raised in a coven all about family inclusion and stuff kinda leaves you no choice lol. He’s cool with it though
Can you rank the skeles in terms of cooking skills?
Here’s the top 10!
Easily in first place is pesto! Man’s cooking deserves to be in a 5 star restaurant. It’s wasted in a brothel really. And pesto can do almost all of it, but he leans mostly on Mediterranean cuisine
Taffy! A solid chunk of her candy shop is her own creations! Taffy is quite clever when it comes to experimenting with food and can cook savory dishes as well, but they aren’t her passion
Willow: he’s the mastermind behind his bakery, and while he needs a bit of work in his sweets, his bread and soups are to die for~
Edge: he’s an amazing cook, it’s his favorite hobby after all! Edge is a total perfectionist when it comes to his pasta and sauces, but he tends to stick hard to his strengths and doesn’t do well with being put on the spot without a recipe on hand. He likes getting the proportions exact.
Peaches/rancher: both can make a pie so delicious it would kill a Victorian child from smell alone. And their other cooking is nothing to sniff at. Both brothers grew up in Rosemarys kitchen after all.
Charm! He’s an amazing cake decorator, and his cakes taste great, but all his points are in presentation mostly. His cooking outside of cakes is rather basic.
Honey: he has his aunties recipes and his love for sweets on his side. Honeys baking just radiates home cooked coziness. Don’t expect anything fancy from him though.
Basil: just like honey, he has dozens of great family recipes, and his own home grown crops to add to them! He won’t cook with meat though.
Barley: his drink mixing skills are unparalleled. And he tends to just make miracles when given a glass of wine or can of beer to cook with. However actually getting barley to agree to cook is the hardest part of the whole ordeal
Gold: hes kinda like pestos apprentice when he isn’t taking clients~ usually gold just helps decorate the desserts when he’s in the kitchen, but he also has done a few steps for the other dishes. He’s learned a trick or two from pesto over the years
S/O enjoys kissing their skellie and leaving behind lipstick marks
Swine: he wears those lipstick marks like the badges of honor that they are. That’s right world! He has a hot SO who loves makeup and kissing him! Seethe in jealously!! lol swine absolutely won’t wash them off, so SO has to be the one to rub them off.
Possum: he gets a bit annoyed at this, cause many makeup products are pretty hard to wash off of bone, and it’s really inconvenient to get little pink spots on his skull for a day. If he knows his SO is wearing lipstick and he sees them going in for a smooch, he’ll grab the back of their head to turn it into a nuzzle instead
Thistle: it’s quite dark in his town newtsmead, so it’s easy to not notice the lipstick marks for what they are if one isn’t paying attention. Thistle can go most of the day without anyone pointing them out at times lol. It also could be because many of the coven members are gossips and think this is cute though lol
Yarrow: he gets hilariously dramatic whenever he does discover a lip mark on his skull from his sneaky SO. He’ll shout in fake distress about the injustice of it all, but he never seems to discourage his SO from the smooches of course~ it’s a game between SO and yarrow at this point
Flambé: he ADORES this. Not just cause the lipstick marks come with kisses, but also cause Flambe low-key thinks they make great accessories. Sometimes when he’s getting ready for the stage, he’ll demand his SO leave a few suggestive lipstick marks on his cheek and neck~ they just really put together his outfit after all
Pesto: he gets rather….. hungry when he sees the marks. It just reminds him of his SOs kisses, and oh boy- now he wants more of them. Really one should’ve seen this coming. If you kiss pesto once, you’re gonna have to do it again and again and again.. those are just the rules.
Huehuehue~ Lustfell, Mafiafell, Lustswapfell, Lustred, Lustgold skeles reacting to their S/O in high thigh socks of their magic color and one of their shirts owo
Shdhdhhdhd under the cut for obvious reasons
Lush: while thigh highs aren’t normally his cup of tea, seeing his SO in his clothes definitely is~ not that lush needs motivation to rock his SOs world anyways. He’s extra attentive though after the show they gave him. He feels desired ;)
Pepper: he has a bit of a laugh at the goofy combo of his SOs socks and his shirt. After all, pepper is a tall fellow, so the shirt almost reaches the thigh highs making them look like tights. Adorable~ but they’d look much better off dear~
Butch: you’re wearing his shirt? Please, this territorial skelly eats that up. You should know better. Or you probably do and you just wanted him to throw you on the bed ;). Either way you win.
Boss: mm yes, he’ll take a dozen orders of this pretty view~ boss LOVES when his SO dressed up for him. Normally that means actually dressing up, like you’re going somewhere fancy, but sometimes this casual and cute look really does it for him too
Sir: sometimes you have to wonder how he finds the energy to “perform” at work, and still be so eager to pay you attention when he gets home. But there’s no time to think about that right now. Not when you gotta make sure sir doesn’t accidentally rip the socks as he takes them off ;)
Weasel: before y’all start getting busy, he has to laugh cause out of all his shirts you could’ve picked, it had to be the fugly scary clown graphic one. Paired with the lacy light purple thigh highs no less. Weasel loves you so much
Flambé: he’s more leg than torso, and being a smaller guy means his shirts are pretty little as well. So the shirt doesn’t quite leave much to the imagination~ just like Flambe like it~ you spoil him too much
Pesto: he loves seeing you wear his shirt but he loves seeing your excitement at him coming home more. Pesto is all about those happy facial expressions, and after such a greeting hes plenty motivated to show some love back~
Butler: he doesn’t care for thigh highs normally, gold wears them too much so butler associates the socks with his brother. But seeing you in his shirt makes him feel warm and fuzzy inside. You’ll get many nuzzles (and more if you play your cards right)
Gold: oh you look so- wait are those your socks or his?? Honestly neither of you are sure anymore. Gold is quite the owner of the thigh high, tight and girdle collection.. among other accessories. And sometimes his gets mixed in with yours lol
3 most nastiest messed-up things Pesto did before his accident?
This is actually intense, so uh a bit of gore under the cut.
So before his face got mauled, pesto was a full time prostitute at the brothel. He was advertised as rough, sadistic and dominant. The perfect pick for any clients who love some punishment~
He’s scratched, bitten and slapped clients before- by request don’t worry!- he’s tied clients up, degraded them, rail them in front of their partners- make them beg. There’s been a lot.
But the craziest thing pesto was ever paid to do was carve his name onto a clients stomach with a switchblade. He didn’t want to at first, but they tipped him an extra 1k in gold and that helped ease pestos nerves for sure lmao. He made sure the blade was clean, and he did refuse to let his client take a gag. If they needed the safe word, he wanted to hear it perfectly clearly. He did make sure the cuts were very surface level. But he did it. Then banged them afterwards
They didnt stop him, and they seemed happy when they left. Sometimes pesto wonders if they got the cuts healed or not. There could be some monster waking around with a scar that spells out papyrus on their stomach.
