*You tell Papyrus that you're getting REAL sick and tired of this.
*you need to stop letting this get under your skin.
*Nice try. Sans used that one last year.
*aww, you remembered~
*You roll your eyes. ...Eyelights? Oh god, that's weird to think about... You ask if Papyrus plans on changing you back anytime soon, or if he's gonna make you stay a skeleton forever.
*relax, bud. you have a tendoncy to overreact, y'know.
*...Okay, that one was pretty good.

One more thing for Spooky Month. I couldn't resist- XD
A redraw of something I made all the way back in 2018.
After coming across a weird puppy in the woods, Dogamy and Dogaressa have taken said puppy into their care as they continue their hunt for the human that's apparently come out of the Ruins.
Don't worry, weird puppy, you're safe with these two! owo)b
*c'mon, bud. can't ya just go with it for once? for the best month of the year?
*You tell Papyrus no, and (politely) demand that he change you back right the fuck NOW.
*PLEASE TELL ME YOU DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAVE A HAND IN THIS, BROTHER.
*nyeheh... bro, you know me. it'd take way too much effort to do this myself. i'm just enjoying the results.
*PAPYRUS. AS DEVILISHLY HANDSOME AS OUR FRIEND LOOKS NOW, HE'S CLEARLY UNCOMFORTABLE. CHANGE HIM BACK, ALREADY. AND IF YOU DIDN'T DO IT, FIND WHOEVER DID.
*You thank Sans for the compliment and hope he isn't offended.
*NOT AT ALL, MY FRIEND. NOT EVERYONE HAS THE STOMACH FOR SUCH A CHANGE. I CAN ONLY ASK FOR YOU TO NOT LET THIS EXPERIENCE GET UNDER YOUR SKIN, ESPECIALLY IF HE TAKES HIS SWEET TIME RETURNING YOU TO NORMAL.
*...
* ...I DID MEAN IT YOU KNOW! YOU MAKE A FINE SKELETON!
Okay originally I was just gonna draw Fell!Dal as like a human counterpart to MooFell, but then it became a comparison between him and the the other two "classic" versions before I knew what was going on.
Yes, I have a problem :'D
Also yes, you read that final note correctly; unlike Classic!Dal, Fell!Dal does not escape the Underground. You know you've hit the odd section of your brain when you start thinking of ways a character would survive in one AU and wouldn't make it in another >_>"
I'd also typed up a small snippet of Fell!Paps' interactions with Fell!Dal before he died, but... yeah I think I'll save it for its own picture, if I ever get around to drawing a scene like that =3=
If we're talking about any AU outside of the canon 'verse, the one skelebro that Dal would probably get along best with is Swap!Papyrus.
No one is sure if these two have a thing for each other or just vibe together on a damn near spiritual level. If there is any romance in the air, neither side knows about it, with Paps dealing with his own issues behind the scenes and Dal's inexperience in the romance department keeping both of them from noticing any signs. Dal can at least see it between other people, of course, but when things like romantic words and gestures are thrown at him??? Clueless. Even his soul sphere turning pink would go unnoticed if no one's around to point it out for him. I mean... it's behind his back all the time.
And with the thought of a reset taking Dal away at any moment weighing on Pap's mind... it's best to just take what's given to you, and not seek out more than that. For a while, Pap even considered that Dalex was the anomaly responsible for the Resets, but alas, Dal simply isn't Determined enough to reset even once. If this human dies, he dies.
And, it would probably be another dozen timelines before Pap could see him again.
Or even worse, this is the only one where Dal even exists at all.
...The harder they are to find, the more you'll want to keep them.
