What are Smalls and Grey hobbies? Is Grey interested in romance or does he prefer to have a bond before that? Does romance not interest him or he isn’t into it? What’s Grey and Smalls favorite food; is Grey a cooker or a baker or neither?

While Smalls is still getting used to the freedom of exploring himself and his surroundings, he's gains a deep fascination for the ocean and all the life in it! he loves fish! shrimp! isopods! coral! anemones! he'd sit on a beach for hours looking for seashells, he adores the sea

As for Grey, he doesn't have much in the way of hobbies besides maybe liking geology a little bit? he still got that nerd in him after all, and is more than happy to info dump at Smalls about any cool rock he finds or even comparing how different rocks can be across universes

---

As for romance...Grey isn't too keen on seeking it out. he's got a kid to take care of and doesn't really want to stress Smalls out by bringing in someone new (especially if the relationship doesn't stick). he's fine being single

---

Favorite foods? Smalls is partial to anything sweet, but he loves bread. fresh bread specifically, something about it being warm and soft brings him comfort. he won't eat bread if it's older than an hour. Grey, meanwhile, likes grease. Always has, always will, but most days he's taken to just rice and grilled meat if Smalls has decided he's had too many burgers!

And Grey...cannot cook! Or, at least, he's trying to learn? He wants Smalls to try a variety of things, and while he himself is fine with eating take out or fast food forever, he doesn't want the same for Smalls. So...he's pouring over cook books alongside his sciency texts, and having Smalls help out since the kid likes being involved

I love your design for B.B. 💙 do you have any headcannons for him?

Thank you! And yeah, some!

B.B originally tried to join the Guard as a way to encourage his brother, even if that ended up backfiring on him in the end

B.B misses his old sleeping habits; he's worked so much over the years that he has too much energy if he's not keeping busy for more than a few minutes maybe

He's an overachiever, an unintended consequence from trying to do so much; he'll burn himself out in the end, and most days returns home to immediately collapse on the couch completely drained

He's so so supportive and encouraging of Cipher's hobbies! He'll brag to everyone and their mothers that his little brother is the coolest guy ever, he makes his own games! He's super smart! B.B will gush at any given opportunity

Here comes the PINK!!!

Pink!!

you can ramble about them anytime you want 👀

Very true, just don't really wanna bother anyone with my nonsense lmao

ANYWAY!! Wanted to talk about post-True Pacifist with B.B. Monsters settled in well, and many humans were incredibly helpful in the transition period. And the monsters are thriving! Not everyone, but most.

B.B, Swap Sans, he...sort of struggles. Down Underground, he had a schedule. It never changed, even if he got those itchy déjà vu moments. Sure, he had complained about how much he just wanted to sleep and laze about, and jokingly said he'd enjoy catching up on long awaited sleep, but now that the Guard was disbanded and was pretty much unneeded in its previous form?

B.B feels horribly lost. Now there's no more schedules. No more training. Just a long future and a lot of uncertainty. Course, being Sans, he makes it very hard for anyone to guess that he's beginning to flounder. He jokes. He sleeps. He wakes up at ungodly hours and runs all over the neighborhood because now he has too much excess energy with nowhere to go. He can't make himself settle in one place, he can't focus like he used to, and with all the uncertainty he's feeling, he's starting to feel a little...afraid of a future he can't predict. There's no cues. Nothing.

Course, his brother notices. Cipher, Swap Papyrus. He's sharper than anyone but Sans gives him credit for. And frankly, he wished B.B would just ask someone, anyone, for help. So, Cipher, Alphys, and Undyne basically shove a sleeping Sans into a car with them and drive to a beach. They figure it would be good for him to just get away from the city for a bit. Relax, enjoy the ocean. Undyne knows she really wants to. Alphys wants to feel the sun on and under her. B.B has a bit of a 'tude at first, at this impromptu kidnapping of his persons. But...

He knows they just wanted to help him out. And he feels really stupid for being so stubborn about asking for help (if he fidgeted with his shirts anymore, he was absolutely sure he would've torn holes into them). The others just tell him to loosen up, enjoy the sand.

The sand is...less than ideal, getting inbetween the joints of his toes and feet. But it's not enough to make him stop on his slow waddle to the water. The chill on his bones makes him shiver when the first wave laps over his feet, bring with it some sand. Cipher calls, jogs over with a disposable camera. Said he brought two just in case. Take a picture of whatever catches your eye, Sans.

B.B probably fell in love completely with the ocean when he went under the waves. Goofing off in the water with everyone else, he had plunged down to avoid Alphys and Undyne's massive splashing to find himself in a beautiful world of a deep dark blue and beams of reflected light. He probably wouldn't have come back up if Papyrus hadn't pulled him up, worried out of his mind because he had been under for so long.

It's not until they're in the car driving hack home that B.B quietly brings up that, maybe, he'd like a book on ocean animals. Thumbing at the camera in his hands, listening to Undyne's throaty snoring and Alphys' quieter breathing in the backseat. Cipher just smiles and assures his brother that he'll get him a whoopie cushion's worth of books on the ocean. B.B snort laughs himself into oblivion, with snickered "Nyeh hehs!" next to him.

The end :D

Awww

I want to give Poe a hug but I’ll bet it would freak him out unless he really knows and trusts you

Pretty much. Even then, he barely can look Indigo in the face anymore because of how much he's convinced himself that everyone is out to get him for the things he did.

Though, you might have more success since he doesn't know *you*. Just break through his walls and show you mean him no harm, and he might let you get away with a hug

I wish to know more about Poe!

The horror boyo! He's actually the horror outcome of Lupus :3

Has overwhelming agoraphobia and when monsterkind first reached the Surface, he didn't even leave his room for a good few years

Took to art as a way to express his feelings, and has favorite materials; charcoal on good days, oil paints on most other days

Made a lot of bad choices Underground and regrets all of it terribly; the regret and fear of being cast away by everyone fed into his growing paranoia and agoraphobia. He doesn't leave his room if his brother is home

Because of his broken skull, Poe suffers from severe memory loss and is sensitive to loud sounds and bright lights. So TVs and most phones are painful for him

Poe also can't speak very well, which was caused by the mental trauma of Underground; he struggles with words and can hardly remember how to string whole sentences together without it falling apart, so he writes instead of speaks. He doesn't want to bother with sign language because he knows he'll just forget it anyways

Once he's more soundly stable and is learning to handle his paranoia and fears, Alphys comes by on heavily supervised visits to just chat with him; because he's still too afraid to leave the house, he's an exception to visitations (it took a lot of paperwork)

Indigo helps Poe sell his art by handling anything digital; finding clients, putting up listings (Undyne helped make a whole website so things would be easier), dealing with scammers and trolls...Poe's best client so far is Asgore, who pays handsomely for his work
