Headcanon - inside Reds head
Okay, so a helpful anon made it clear that some of the things Red does isn’t necessarily considered canon by the underfell au. Since I modeled this muse more after the rendition of Sanssschams version of him, he isn’t really underfell canon.
So, what is he? Well, that’s what I wanted to elaborate a bit more. ^^ thank you to the anon who inspires this, I actually appreciate the input from outside sources.
Red is a pretty bad guy most of the time, that much we know. He shows signs of sociopathy, judging by how eager he is to harm and/or rape others. All of this actually stems from a deep pain that he had had since his youth, when UF Paps began to physically and sexually abuse him (yes, his past involves fontcest) that lead to some deep emotional scars. He is deeply insecure, using his anger that stems from pain as a wall to separate himself from everyone around him.
In the rare occasion he does get attached emotionally to someone, that person is going to hold a very important place in his life. The biggest challenge is getting past that wall, because he has been known to rape, injure, abuse, and even eat others. I mean it, he might actually eat you.
As far as physical affection goes… Sex is the default for him. It’s easy and fulfills the need for physical contact. He bites. As a sadist, he gets a thrill out of being able to cause harm to others as well as the fact that it usually ensures (unless they’re a masochist) that the person will not reciprocate feelings for him.
