#tsm asks

[rosescries]

Hello! I just want to say thank you so much for all the time you spent writing these story. They are all so wonderful! My question is what is the power scaling in the TSM,Dusted coasted,Bad Habits,etc?Like who is the absolutely strongest and who would be the weakest.(From the skeleton)

Ohhhh. Good question! Hmmmm....

From strongest to weakest:

TSM and CIKY-

Ace- Guns- Black- Edge- Mutt- Red- Lunar- G- Grey- Aster- Papyrus- Blue- Stretch- Charmed- Lilac- Sans

That's not to say Sans couldn't hold his own in a fight, he could probably win against any of the other skeletons- and they know it. But he is the weakest in terms of attack and such. It all really comes down to the fight. The same could be said for Stretch, if he tried. Blue and Papyrus are strong too, they can easily go toe toe with Black and Edge. They could probably defeat the two as well if they put their mind to it. There's been multiple times the two gave Black and Edge a run for their gold.

Honestly, if the skeletons were all to fight, Lilac and Charmed would probably be the first to go down. They're lovers, not fighters. Guns, Ace, Black, Mutt, Red, Edge, Grey, and Lunar all have varying high LVs and training in fighting. Or just are big and strong and have just lived in a desperate situation where they had to adapt to survive. So they pack a big punch. I.E. Grey and Lunar.

Dust Coated-

Dust- Birch- Brick- Ace- Guns- Black- Edge- Mutt- Red- Lunar- G- Grey- Aster- Papyrus- Blue- Stretch- Charmed- Lilac- Sans

Same as above, but Birch and Brick have gained more in their situation to put on top of their already high LVs. Dust killed every Monster in his Underground, and has Sans' cleverness on top of that. He could dust every single skeleton easily if he put his mind to it, and half the time he considers it. His kids aren't far behind him, but they don't want to.

Bad Habits-

Button (Horror Mob Papyrus)- Pass (Horror Mob Sans)- Capo (Mobswapfell Sans)- Sniper (Mobfell Papyrus)- Hit (Mobfell Sans)- Clip (Mobswapfell Papyrus)- Lucky (Mobswap Sans)- Gamble (Mob G!Sans)- Ace (Mobtale Papyrus)- Vig (Mob G!Papyrus)- Guns (Mobtale Sans)- Strike (Mobswap Papyrus)- Doll (Moblust Sans)- Sheba (Moblust Papyrus)

Again, all these boys are very dangerous. A lot of the time just in different ways. Doll and Sheba are more emotionally manipulative rather than physically strong. But they could not beat any of the others in a physical fight, they might last for a while but not for very long.

Pass and Button have the raw power and strength in spades, they could easily overpower any of the other skeletons. They can be pretty tricky too, as they were once Guns and Ace too. But in the right situation, they could be taken down swiftly. Just like Guns and Ace, though those two have more legal power on their side and failsafes that keep everyone in check.

Lucky is one manipulative and cunning bastard. So is Gamble. Do not fall for their handsome faces, they will bite you. Also, be happy they don't like each other because it would be hell with these two working together. Straight up hell.

GBTS-

Button- Wolf (Horrorswapfell Papyrus)- Pass- Birch- Pitch (Horrorswapfell Sans)- Brick- Ace- Guns- Black- Edge- Briar (Horror G!Papyrus)- Mutt- Sunny (Horror G!Sans) Red- Stone (Horrorswap Sans)- Lunar- Silence (Horrorswap Papyrus)- G- Grey- Poppy (Horrorlust Sans)- Aster- Rose (Horrorlust Papyrus)- Papyrus- Blue- Stretch- Charmed- Lilac- Sans

All the horrors had to do what the had to do to survive and protect their brothers.

Wolf had to take on a more protective roll due to Pitch loosing his sight. Poppy and Rose hid when they could, but they couldn't always get away with that. They had to do what they had to do.

This is an ask about your fic TSM.

I saw your recent ask about an MC with a high LV. What if the events of the story played out the same way, but they learned at the end about MC’s LV. Would they still distrust them or give them the benefit of the doubt because of what happened with Taylor?

They'd be conflicted for sure. They'd have a certain level of distrust for her, but they'd know they can't backtrack because they had treated her unfairly when it came to Taylor.

Though now they're wondering if they were so wrong....

[rosescries]

In TSM, how would the lounge crew react to the Mob, Lust and G brothers dating a pair of sisters (separately with the Sans and Papyrus) in an actual healthy polyamorous relationships and seen and interacted with said sisters before?

Just wasn’t known for various reasons (Taylor may be a chunk of it).

They'd be happy for them, of course. It's good they found someone that makes them happy! Some may feel a little jealous, like in the original fic when they saw Mutt and Mc, but they're just happy their friends as happy.

They're a little confused why they kept it a secret, but aren't going to question it too much. Guns and Ace are just secretive people and they don't talk to the G brothers very often, and the Lust brothers even less so, so it probably just didn't come up. No big deal.

Hi if it's OK I have a tsm ask.

What if Mc was already best friends with undyne before moving in with the boys. She was very confused with almost everyone glaring at her and the indirect death threads thrown her way so she confusedly called undyne to see if she did something wrong or if there is some cultural taboo she overstept since everyone is acting like she killed their pet. And since monsters usually aren't so cold or aggressive towards people. Undyne decides to come over and help clear everything up, to help her bestie.

What woud that interaction be like? What would happen? How would the boys react to the revelation that Mc is very close to undyne and undyne finding out their secret.

Well, Sans would be very upset and Papyrus a bit panicked. Papyrus doesn't really know why Sans wants to keep this a secret so bad, but he knows it's important to Sans and one of the people that Sans really doesn't want knowing about the situation just found out. And everyone else has their own ideas why this whole mix up was kept secret or like Papyrus just assume Sans had his reasons, so they're not too happy either.

So.... they would really not like Mc for blowing their cover. Undyne wouldn't be happy that such a big secret was kept from her, or it's the reason the two had become so reclusive.

But they'd also do their best to play it off too. They're cousins, Monsters that hid on the surface or whatever keeps Undyne off their tailbones. It's not like Mc knew the secret, so she can't dispute their claims.

Still, having Undyne on Mc's side does help her case a lot. Even with the unfortunate case of blowing their cover. Papyrus knows Undyne well, they're best friends. If Mc really was so horrible, there's no way Undyne would be so close to her. She really must not be that bad. And then the dominoes would fall.

Had a funny thought:

So for TSM we have Buff MC, Hermit MC, Wet Cat MC, and a combination of Buff and Wet Cat MC, and Goddess MC-

May I introduce you to…

Orange Cat mc?

Like she is quite literally the sweetest person on the planet, but she has approx. one singular functioning brain cell and is just endearingly stupid. Like, She’s so blunt and brutally honest but as a side effect doesn’t comprehend having a filter and will just say some really wack shit sometimes. Like:

“If we clean the shower, are we the shower of our shower?”

Or just straight up asks dumb questions like:

“What is the Spanish word for Tortilla?”

And god forbid her and mutt are in the same room because they both run off a singular braincell and Mutt is purposefully being dumb but MC just…is a silly goofy person. A funky lad, if you will. And Mutt is a morosexual.

Like Taylor over here trying to make MC out to be this evil person but it’s so hard bc MC just,,, doesn’t have the patience, self awareness, sneakiness, and overall douchiness levels to comprehend being mean to someone. This dumbass cried over MANATEES being ENDANGERED. This idiot keep accidentally forgetting the difference between salt and sugar. This dumbass doesn’t know what’s going on half the time and has the memory of a goldfish. This dumb bitch panicked over a prank of mutts that involved detaching his hand (skeleton style bb) and cried bc she thought he was dying.

All in all: Mc is a stupid idiot who is incredibly sweet and friendly, and is overall just orange cat vibes.

It's... honestly a lot like Wet Cat Mc. Just with a lot less tears and more "What the fuck?"

Sans, Stretch, and Red are just... watching this and laughing. In fact, they're laughing too much to even listen to Taylor. At first they thought this might be an act, but.... there's just no way someone can keep an act like this up for this long. It's just too funny.

Black and Edge are slight Mother Bears again. For Black because, again, Mc is just Mutt. She's just Mutt. Putting those two together gives Black a coronary, but it's endearing in some ways. For Edge just because if someone doesn't watch her, he's pretty sure she's gonna fucking die. And he has a fondness for cats, which she reminds him of a lot.

Papyrus and Blue are just... pretty amused, like Sans, Stretch, and Red. They're also keeping an eye on the chaos twins like Black and Edge though. Pretty middle of the road between the two sides, but also can sometimes be roped into the two's shenanigans.

Mutt is having the time of his life. He adores this. 10 out 10, would recommend.

One question, what if TSM's MC was a Brazilian (one with bad diction)? Like, is anyone hostile towards her? She doesn't even say anything, she just slowly lifts a pan and says with the greatest calm in the world "hi? what? how is it? can you repeat? I didn't hear you correctly", when she goes to clean the house she listens to music on a JBL while she sings, somehow has an answer for everything and speaks with pure mock and elegance looking deep into the person's eyes without any fear, doesn't take insults home, uses Brazilian expressions (like "life is not a strawberry", "my champion/angel/darling/love/child/friend (can be in mockery or just as friendly nicknames), "you are two chat (your false)", "see if I'm there on the corner (when she's angry and will just ignore the person who irritated her)", "ué/oxe (what)", "Aaaaata (when she understood something)", "é (yeah)", "ihhhh (kind of shocked)", "ó (look)", "uuuuu (when she feel some pain or something like that)", she also has very bad diction and sometimes starts to stutter and stares for a few seconds to the wall trying to think of how to say it correctly or end up swearing, when MC arrived at bikini top house they could see the brand of her bikini because she was wearing a loose blouse and spent a lot of time at the beach before

(you don't have to answer if you don't want to, if you want you can just ignore this ask :P)

(If I seemed a little xenophobic or something, I'm sorry, I'm Brazilian and I just wanted to know what it would be like if the MC had that personality and I kind of, for some reason, think it's cool to imagine the MC being similar (having some aspects of appearance and memes) to the Brazilian Hatsune Miku....)

Honestly, things would go a bit slower. Really any more combative personality would make things go slower, because the skeletons assume malice where there is none. And mockery will just make them more angry. They could care less about her music preferences or what she wears though honestly.

They really don't care about her race, though. They're not going to treat her any differently than in the actual story, considering that. They wouldn't mock her if she needed a bit more time to properly word a sentence or help with her English, though, and may even offer a word she's struggling to come up with. They may get a bit confused by her expressions, but that's just going to annoy some skeletons into learning them.

(Don't worry, I tend to not immediately assume malice. Half of the time I just can't tell when people are being mean and it's worse over the internet.)

[rosescries]

What if MC and Taylor’s roles where reversed. Like MC is dating or friends with the lodge skeletons (and is still nice and stuff) and taylor was invited later on? How do you think they would handle her, with all her toxicity?

-🙂

Hmmmm.... Well I think things would go rather well actually.

Most of you seem to forget that Taylor wasn't completely bad in the beginning. She wasn't really interested in the skeletons besides the fact that they gave her better tips and overall let her mooch some drinks from time to time. But otherwise, pretty... okay.

It was only once she started living with them, once they started spending a ton of money on her, and once her boyfriend convinced her to take advantage of the situation that she really started leaning into her toxic habits.

But if she never had that window...

The skeletons wouldn't be interested in dating Taylor in this instance. They have Mc. They basically went through hell and back with this woman and are very invested in her, they love and adore her and she them. They're very happy with this relationship, so they're not looking at Taylor romantically.

Which also means they wouldn't be trying to woo her, which means no lavish gifts or special treatment. They're still nice of course, offering better tips and a hand in friendship. They'll still offer her a place to stay when things go downhill for her. But.... Black and Edge are a whole lot less tolerant of the boyfriend, and so are quite a few of the others. Black and Edge also are a bit more suspicious, just from everything they went through with Mc.

Mc is a stupid self-sacrificing idiot. They have to keep an eye on her and the people around to make sure she's not getting herself in trouble again. Make sure she's staying away from people who'll take advantage of her. Those two in particular will not see that happening again, though none of the skeletons are too willing for a repeat.

So it's likely that Taylor will be leaving with her boyfriend. Not a whole lot of fuss or drama to it. She may even continue being friends with some of the skeletons, but it's not likely to last with her boyfriend in the picture.

[rosescries]

This might've been asked before, but what would happen if Sans is MC's friend instead of Mutt in TSM?

Well, a lot of things wouldn't have happened. As much as the skeletons may fight, most of them trust the original two to some extent. Papyrus trusts his brother a lot too, so if he's getting along with this human so well she can't be that bad. And if Papyrus starts getting along with her so well, Blue will follow. Then Stretch, Red, etc etc.

Things would've unraveled a lot faster and without so much pain.
