OoooOOOoH! DUDE! Do you remember answering an ask about at what feelings stage skeles are towards the Lady? That was so long ago. D'you want to give it another go? xD It seems that even resident Mutt is now not immune to Lady anymore :D
All right, let’s do an updated version! Here’s a link to the old one (which was from chapter 31).
Nothing much has changed with our top skeles. Red, Axe, Q, and Stretch are still all-in, absolutely in love. Stretch has definitely fallen deeper since we last did a feelings check, and things have gotten a little rocky with Axe as of late, but that’ll go more in-depth next chapter. Red and Q have recently discussed something off-screen… and that definitely has to do with the LL. But that’ll be revealed later, don’t worry. Red’s still struggling with the idea that he might just end up friends with her, even if he doesn’t let it show, while Q’s trying to maintain his presence in her life – although he seems like something’s on his mind these days.
Blueberry is completely infatuated; he’s close to love, but it’s not quite there yet. I’d still call it a crush. He wants to be close to her, and he gets jealous when the others get to spend alone time with her. He thinks she’s fun, and he considers her one of his best friends – that he wants to go on another date with!
Sans knows that what he feels is more than just a crush, but he still isn’t sure if it’s definite love–it’s not a word he’ll ever use lightly. But he also doesn’t kiss just anyone, either. She’s special to him.
Papyrus definitely wants to date her and be her bonefriend. He loves her, yes, but I still wouldn’t call it a deep, romantic love. She’s his best friend – that he has a crush on!
Crooks also wants to date her. He’s realized she’s more than just a special, nice human to him. After their date, he’s found himself wanting to spend more and more time with her. There’s a whole lot of love there – but it still hasn’t reached the point of romantic love.
Blackberry’s feelings have changed to something that was difficult for him to understand. At first, he just wanted her because the others seemed to, but lately… he’s found himself wanting her to be his – and not just from a bratty monopolizing standpoint. He enjoys her company and actually cares about what she thinks of him – to the point that he tricked her into going into that hot spring with him in an effort to get closer to her/discover how she felt about him. His feelings aren’t love yet, but they’re close.
Edge is in love. He’s actively trying to be better, even though he still manages to butt heads with the Lady. He values her opinion of him, and he’s been overcome with the urge to kiss her ever since he woke up with her tangled in his arms. It’s a new feeling for him, one that’s been steadily building the more time he spends with her, and he finally got the resolve he needed to make a move. Encouraged by her enthusiastic response, he’s only fallen deeper for her.
Mutt used to just flirt with her to draw a reaction from her. She was someone he could mess with, both to annoy her and the other skeletons. She was also someone that could entertain his brother and make his life on the Surface a little easier. But the more time he spent around her, watching her change the others, and watching her interact with Blackberry… the more he found himself growing fond of her. Her opinion of him began to matter, and he realized that his flirtations had become genuine. He wanted to touch her, to be close to her, to see her flustered and blushing because of him. He’s not in love with her by any means, but he’s finally developed a legitimate crush – and has grown to consider her one of the only actual friends he’s ever had.
