blue being an embarassing older brother to stretch makes me so happy. like when people make him pull out the baby pictures and stretch is all embarassed and dragging blue away. something about that concept is so funny to me and fills me with so much joy
Do you have any headcanons for any of boys' favorite foods?
Ough this is taking me forever to think about. I wanted to consider what it would be based off not only what their tastes are but also their overall relationship with certain items and how that influences them! So, I hope you enjoy what I created
CW: Starvation mentioned and how that affected some characters. Stay safe lovelies :-)
Vanilla: He seems to me the type of guy who likes repetition since he is so used to it and it's a comfort to him. I think he likes Grillby's a lot and he enjoys his brothers cooking over anything fancy
Cyperus: I know canonically he loves dinosaur oatmeal and honestly nothing is going to make me change that. I think his second favorite foods however would be Italian cuisine and the reason he hyperfixates on spaghetti is because he wants to master that skill even if he doesn't even care for spaghetti specifically
Red: Again, he reads to me as a guy who likes repetition and he absolutely adores his world's version of Grillbys. That means to me spicy food though with mustard, which is why above the surface he devours anything spicy until his magic literally causes him to burp out flames. He also really loves Pitch's lasagna, even if he never will tell him how much he loves it
Pitch: He reads to me as someone who adores Italian cuisine because it's fancy and it's something of impeccable tastes, obviously. However, his favorite I think is Thai food. I headcanon that both brothers absolutely adore the spicy side of things and Thai is especially good at that, so when he was able to try it on the surface he treasures it everytime he can indulge. He's just more secretive about his favorite, even if his special food is lasagna
Powder: Yes, he likes making tacos because other people love it. I think for him he would also love astronaut oatmeal to contrast nicely to Cyperus loving dinosaur oatmeal. To me, it's something he loved as a child and so it's a fond memory to him every time he can eat it. Otherwise, I think he just likes Mexican food overall, even if he isn't specialized in cooking it
Stretch: A man of repetition just like the other two, he loves what his brother makes because he grew up on that stuff. He really loves whatever his brother makes, he can feel the magical intent within that cooking. I think he isn't picky when it comes to his favorite meal, as long as he can taste the intent with the cooking and really enjoy it. However, I like to also think he loves honey based desserts or Muffet's food
Saint: Anything and everything dude he's a giant dumpster. He loves whatever he can get a hold of, especially when he was able to recover from the underground. He has a weird relationship with food because of how he was starved for so long. At first he cried a lot and he struggled even eating half a plate, but nowadays he'll enjoy every last bite when he can.
Lunar: He cried the last time he was able to enjoy dinosaur oatmeal, it's something he can't help but remember fondly of. He is more weary when handling meat so he doesn't cook often, but he enjoys any meal a loved one makes him. Like Saint, he had to take his time recovering from starvation, but he's so grateful that he can have it. Dinosaur oatmeal will always be his favorite though, even if he wants to cry everytime
Carmine: He is secretive about what he likes, but he often makes chimichangas for other people like how Powder makes Tacos. He prides himself in his cooking. If you ever do discover what his favorite meal is though, don't be surprised that it's spicy food mixed with sweetness. Japanese food is something he really enjoys due to its healthier, more simple cooking methods. He enjoys the variety that comes with it, and he uses it in his cooking often. A bit of a different fact, when he found out what Rus' favorite food was, he goes out of his way to make it for him when he wants to show his love for him
Rus: His favorite food when it isn't a repetitive meal at Muffet's is definitely his brother's curry. He loves curry and he always has ever since he was a babybones. He enjoys really any meal but of course, his tastes have been influenced by Carmine. For desserts, pies overall are so damn good to him and is his second favorite food of all time. Nothing beats his brothers or Muffet's pie, especially when he can taste their intent
Dust: He's going to always get sentimental when he eats any meal Cyperus makes him or any meal a Papyri cooks for him. He's very grateful when he tastes their intent and he struggles for awhile when he starts getting used to feeling intent with food. I feel that after being alone for so long, food dwindled within the underground and he slowly started losing magic from that and started starving. Nowadays, after he was able to recover, he'll always compliment and thank whoever made him food even if it's awful cooking
lThis is my US!Papyrus and US!Sans from my AU/Multiverse(?), Phobiaverse.
Those in my discord server, which is only one, are up to date and understand the context- However I will explain it here
Carrot represents Acrophobia (Fear of Heights) and Blue represents Autophobia (Fear of being abandoned/loneliness). Acrophobia turned into a very very very tall skeleboi, and Autophobia just made a clingy skele that cries when without his brother.
I thought it would be cute for Blue to ride in his BIG brothers hood, but I went with this first because it's easier to see him in Carrots huge hands
Rus was taking a well deserved nap, in his opinion. He’d cleaned the entire apartment, since it had started to get a little too musty even for his standards (Blue had started sneezing every little bit from the dust build up), so he deserved a bit of peace and tranquility for his hard work.
Blue seemed to agree, since he was unusually quiet, laying next to the couch Rus was sacked out on with a rope toy in his mouth. He’d been quietly gnawing for nearly 30 minutes, which was right around the time Rus had started to drift off.
There was blissful silence for another half hour, Rus nearly fully asleep and lost to the world before he heaved, the sudden heavy weight on his chest making it difficult to breathe, let alone move. Glancing down with wide eyes, he found Blue getting comfortable on top of him, eyes sleepy. With a final wide yawn, Blue settled down, head propped on his paws.
Rus stared for a long time, his hand making its way slowly down to Blue’s head, gently scratching behind his ears. Blue huffed in his sleep, pushing a bit into the attention, but didn’t wake up.
Blue knew and understood the command “Get Down”, he’d practiced it with the couch a number of times after Blue had tried to make himself at home on someone’s lap that had come over to hang out. (That someone certainly wasn’t a stocky skeleton with a gold tooth that just sort of laughed at Blue’s antics). But… Blue also wasn’t that cuddly most of the time. Rus felt like this was a good opportunity to bond.
He drew drowsy again soon enough, his hand moving on autopilot as he continued to pet Blue as he fell asleep.
Of course when he woke up Blue had jumped down and made a mess of the bathroom, but he couldn’t even be mad.
~.~
Of course some of the commands were a little harder than others when it came to teaching them, Fetch being one of them. Blue had figured out fetching when it came to Rus chucking something across the room, bringing it back had been the real challenge.
Once Blue got the jist of that, though, stationary objects was next, and that just seemed to baffle the poor pup.
Rus had tried everything to teach Blue that it was okay to fetch something sitting on a table or chair if Rus asked him to, but the rules about not just grabbing food off plates and such had made it a bit confusing when Rus tried to get him to fetch a bottle of honey from the kitchen table and brought to the kitchen.
It took a few tries, Rus even demonstrating to Blue what it was he was supposed to do and where he was supposed to go, but when he got it, Rus found himself getting little gifts even when he went to bed at night.
Blue would bring him honey from the fridge even, and while it was a mystery how the little pup even got it open in the first place, Rus hadn’t questioned the gift of a late night snack. At least until Blue had the bottle gripped a little too hard, a little too close to the lid.
It’d been one hell of a time, trying to get out of his honey drenched bedding and clothes to get himself and Blue in the shower.
There was no fetching of honey after that.
Then of course there was the incident of the cigarettes. Rus had left Blue home alone, fairly assured that Blue would make only a minimal mess, since he’d gated off the bathroom and kitchen with the baby gates Red had recommended. It seemed to work just fine, so Rus had made a quick trip to the store for groceries.
When he returned home, Blue had been hacking up magic filled with cigarette butts and ash. Rus had nearly lost his mind, picking Blue up and all but throwing him in the back seat of his car as he drove to the vet.
They’d explained that Blue was simply purging the toxins, and that Rus should really keep better track of his cigs if he simply had to have them.
Rus could feel the judgement as he left, the guilt heavy in his soul as he kept a close eyelight on Blue the entire night.
Thankfully he only threw up once after that, the mess small and easy to clean as Blue danced around him happily, tongue lolling out.
I don’t think I’ve ever actually drawn these two together.
