💡 for Asgore
💡 for Gerson
💡 for Sans
send me "💡" and i’ll tell you a something about my muse that I had considered, but ended up not using for their story
Below the cut! TW for some serious stuff.
Asgore - This is technically more of a 'I haven't expressed it' moreso than 'ended up not using', but I really feel like I haven't captured a few aspects of Asgore yet.
Like, let's just get a huge one out of the way. Can we talk about that Asgore is suicidal? He absolutely knows what he did in Undertale is this awful, unforgiveable thing, and that he caught himself in a situation that he didn't have the guts to change. He can't bring his wife back to him, he can't bring his kids back to life, and he's lost all hope (and despite that, EVEN WHEN HOLDING BACK AND LITERALLY NOT LOOKING AT YOU THE WHOLE FIGHT, manages to be the toughest non-special fight in the game). And in the end, during a subsequent run that doesn't result in a special ending where you spare him, he realizes that trying to force something special with the player is pointless: they shouldn't be trapped in the Underground. He kills himself for it with a smile, genuinely believing it's for the best. He's so guilt-ridden over it. Can we point out how this can happen, and then Toriel takes claim over the throne if she's alive (and the player wasn't an asshole)? Imagine if Toriel KNEW what Asgore did then. Anyways, I'll also point out how it's pretty obvious that Asgore thinks Toriel is dead, too. I mean, dude breaks down into bawling tears just seeing a Christmas movie. I think he's just so tired of loss and living forever: he's seriously just a shove away from losing it.
Also, I feel like I don't express enough how he's aware of other timelines, like Sans. (Not aware throughout all the differences, or whatnot, since that's *never* been a thing in-game except for beings like Flowey.)
Gerson - I've absolutely scrapped through ideas of kids, wife, etc., nothing really felt right. He definently has a history, though, and I'm sure he'll tell you if you ask! Even before Deltarune, I know I went into HCs about him potentially being religious/anti-religious. I think I also had headcanons about him being a blacksmith, but, not too sure of that anymore.
Sans - A lot of things with Gaster. I think I'm still feeling it out or might go with what intrigues me.
