UNDERTALE X THE FREAK CIRCUS CROSSOVER AU FRISK HEADCANONS BELOW ↓
The Frisk we know was an outdoorsy, determined, whimsical and hard to scare child, they were kind and forgiving, but not naive. but how is Frisk now as an adult? they have the responsibility of being the ambassador of monsters on their shoulders, they have to keep the fact that they can mess with time a secret from everyone, they have to keep the fact that their family and most of their friends are monsters due to the rest of the world not being ready to accept them, they have to keep the existence of both the underground and the surface monsters a secret, they now have to pretend they don't know the fact that the TFC cast are monsters and eat humans, both to the clown's faces and to the rest of the world, they have to find a way to make humans eventually accept monsters among them but these new monsters eating humans fucks up any peace plan Frisk could have had, they need to get Carol out of the hands of the circus without exposing the circus, they must be under a SHIT ton of stress and pressure, and the only person they can vent to without sugarcoating or hiding anything is Flowey, which Frisk doesn't even get to talk to often.
I think they are still kind and merciful and ambitious, they live by the "don't kill and don't be killed" rule, they love a good fair battle with a strong opponent, they help everyone they can, they repress their fears to do good sometimes, they value their friends and family more than anything, they know so many things about so many people, and yet they let people know barely anything about them. befriending new people is one of their favorite thing on this earth, spending time with their friends and feeling their love and support is the only thing that keeps them determined sometimes when things get especially rough.
they didn't get this far by being selfish, did they?
They're straightforward and simple, they advocate for kindness and union, they might sound like a kid's cartoon to some people when they're taking about how you should treat everyone the way you want to be treated and be kind before anything else, they might sound like they're repeating empty slogans that every human says but never actually believes in or lives by, especially to people like Jester and Ticket Taker who had heard enough human bullshit in their lifetime, but Frisk is so serious about this it's not even funny. they would risk getting harmed to protect another person, they would always put time aside for the people they care for, no matter if they're drowning in responsibilities, they would never let anyone, their friend or a random stranger, a human or a monster, feel alone and scared. they're a mix of these two pictures when it comes to what they live by:
Pierrot adores this about them, Harlequin thinks they're lying or putting on a facade, doctor thinks they're just another too idealistic human, Ticket Taker thinks they are either stupid or have ulterior motives, Jester thinks they are naive and possibly an airhead.
Frisk eventually gets through to them;
because even if Harlequin thinks Frisk is lying with their "love and protect all" attitude, he isn't above letting himself enjoy what he believes are lies, and the more he humors Frisk, the more he sees how serious they are about this.
as Doctor spends more time hanging out with and talking to Frisk, he slowly starts to realize Frisk isn't looking at the world with rose colored glasses at all, they acknowledge the flawed way most humans are, they acknowledge the bad people that live among everyone that don't share their world view, but this has never and will never stop Frisk from making the world a kinder place. and this makes sense to Doctor, he doesn't believe this goal is possible, but he respects it.
Ticket Taker finds Frisk useful at best, free labor, something to keep Pierrot from going completely unstable, they help around the circus, Pie, Harle, and doc seems to like them, and Frisk does stop the clowns from getting attacked by humans on the streets, at least keeping their words on being firmly against cruelty, for these reasons he tolerates them, but just these aren't reason enough to trust a human, this human may seem kind and friendly, but they are still a human that will try to betray the circus in the end if they learn what they are, right? that's what he believes.
he won't completely trust Frisk until Jester does or until the circus learns about the underground monsters or if the fact that Frisk is the ambassador for the monster race gets out.
Jester thinks this world view of Frisk stems from stupidity, Maybe even arrogance if this human seriously thinks they are truly different from all the rest of the humans and really actually kind. everyone is capable of evil, except for this one really really kind human, very believable. psht.
But he takes interest in learning more about Frisk, since Frisk is "friends" with half the circus already and is often at the circus for one reason or another, which means he doesn't have to go out of his way to interact with them. what is so great about this human that half his family likes them?
He of course treats Frisk like a gum under his shoe for a while, but it's nothing Frisk hasn't experienced before, they're used to it and fine with it, they respond to all his rhetorical and philosophical questions with honest and well thought answers without caring that they're being used as a cup holder or an armrest in the meantime, much to Jester's disappointment. but he gets used to Frisk this way, slowly starting to enjoy these conversations more than before, he'll never be head over heels like Pierrot is, but he does find the human entertaining.
