silverryu25:

Don't delete it! Maybe just add a chapter that recaps the end of it? So people have some closure? And taking it out of the series is definitely a better choice. It would be a shame to delete amazing writing even if it is incomplete :(

I’m not sure how to write a summary of the end, but that’s probably the best way to go about it. Thank you, btw!  You’re very sweet.  You guys super made it worth it, writing fanfic, the last couple years!  I was really overwhelmed by the positive response and support I got, and it really motivated me to write way more than I would have if I never posted stuff online.

@nanenna: 

As someone subscribed I personally would like maybe a quick summary as a "final chapter" and then mark everything as complete, possibly with a warning about the sudden ending in a summary or description.

But hey, you do you! Go where your muse leads and take care of yourself!

Thank you for letting me know what you think!  It’s always hard for me to guess what’s best or what people would prefer in this kind of situation, so I usually just like, disappear and avoid it.  Not good!  

An ending summary and a note in the description (plus marking it complete and removing it from the series while leaving it on ao3) is probably the best route to go.

tabascosugar:

Please don't delete stuff.

Ok!  And I never had any intention of deleting things from this blog, so that’ll be here until tumblr goes down, I guess.

Undyne/zen

here you go!  

--

One of the mostimportant steps to becoming a master, Undyne had heard, was learning how to meditate.  Shesat still on a cushion on her living room floor, gentle music playingover the sound system, and practiced breathing.  In five minutes, shewas practicing screaming.  She had to find an inner stillness thatshe wasn't sure existed.  

Weeks of practiceamounted to nothing.  She found something close to peace a few monthslater, playing a quiet song on the piano while Alphys dozed on thecouch nearby.

I can see their entire relationship going like this. He gets drunk, says something dumb to Alphys, Asgore proposes. Drunk, Al, he's at his wedding. Drunk, Al, adopting a kid. He isn't sure how this is happening. Asgore has that sexy dad thing going, so, ok? His kids ask for help with their homework. What? He literally does nothing and somehow he has the husband, 2.5 kids, and picket fence. Papyrus is proud of him. He's so confused.

he’s gotta stop chugging the sake from the bottle on anime movie night but alphys just gets so pissed and starts angrily demonstrating how he should be drinking it w/ her anime character themed sake glasses and it’s hilarious

she doesn’t even tell asgore herself she just relays it to undyne and sans and asgore play drunken telephone instead of directly communicating.  alphys just gives up and always brings pizza to movie night as a permanent apology.

sans even sending him a drunken email directly would be healthier

one advantage is that going through two other people cuts the edges off.  sans’ “sure i’d like to be a dad but yesterday i took an open bag of chisps out of a garbage can and ate the contents i don’t think it was just chips in there either” is translated to undyne as “sans says he wants to be a dad, but, um, he’s...not quite ready for the responsibility?” which then turns into “sans wants kids except he’s a COWARD” which becomes, in asgore’s head, “sans is nervous about parenting, which is understandable, because i am too”

hopefully asgore then goes and discusses his worries with a therapist because hooooo boy do he and sans have different concerns around parenting and eventually he’s like “if you’re ready to be a father, sans, then i believe i am ready, too.”

Now that I have been informed I share your sadness. TT-TT

we may both be in luck because i got a couple great suggestions on how to skirt around the issue

Fireplace=outside Grillby’s? :D

that’s sensible!  grillby sets up some outdoor seating and they all hang out there during grillby’s break sometime, maybe??

@breannajj said: 

Why not just put grillby sitting in a fireplace?

He likes it in there.  It feels...safe.  Toriel and Sans think he must be running late until they notice a pair of glasses + tie floating in the fireplace.

Happy Birthday! Sans birthday headcanon: for various time/gaster shenanigan reasons, doesn't actually remember how old he is, just that he's old enough. He doesn't even care anyway. He's one of those people you can know for years before it occurs to you, "Oh snap! When is his birthday?" And then he takes great pleasure in changing the subject/ignoring people when asked so it becomes a source of irritation for all involved. Papyrus refuses to admit he doesn't know either, and is of no help.

i really like sans not telling people when his birthday is because it annoys them.  it’s so...needlessly secretive when he could just make up a date, but it’s just too funny how irritated people get.

Toriel REALLY wants to bake Sans something.  And she has SO MANY IDEAS for pun themed gifts and gyftmas really isn’t enough to express all of them.  

I’m imagining everyone just being like “ok thursday’s sans’ birthday so there” and he goes along with it because, well, what the hell?  a cake’s a cake.  after that papyrus just decides that day was always Sans’ birthday and they have it the same day every year from them on.

Grillby, when you pay a sky writer to post a recipe over someone's house you have gone too far

Grillby has a midlife crisis at one point after seeing sans eat literal garbage and appear to enjoy it. He wonders if his food is actually any good. The cheese fries remain the same. Was it ever good? He eats the fries. Did it get worse? He eats more cheese fries. He watches other people eat the cheese fries? He eats the cheese fries and wonders. Papyrus comes and drags him out of the bowling ally one night. He’s eaten too many cheese fries.

tabascosugar said: 

Sans watches sadly, wondering how he can possibly help his husband, eating cheese fries.

Grillby is trapped in a prison of his own making.  The bars look like fries, the ceiling drips with tasteless greasy orange cheese goo.  Sans hangs out with him in there like “hey why don’t you get the hot wings this time.  you liked those right.”  Grillby just shakes his head.

"Happ birth" as they say!! cant think of any hcs right now unfortunately but still

You’re all very nice.  ;_;  Thank you.

Yesterday was good!  Everyone got me wine and outdoor lights?  Is that what happens in your mid thirties?  It’s kitchenware in your early thirties and then it switches to outdoor lighting when people start to worry about you falling on your ass in the dark from all the wine gifts they got for you?

tabascosugar replied to your post “should i sign up for the secret santa this year?  i’m behind on...”

It sounds fun, but only if you're sure you can enjoy it without causing yourself undue stress. You need to take care of you first.

Yeah, it’s tough to decide, but it looks like signups are open for a little while, so maybe I’ll have a better idea of how I’m going to feel in a week.
