okay so um, this is my first time doing this so i hope i dont mess up (if uncomfortable then pls ignore, i dont mind.)
so my cat just passed and i have been feeling down lately. so i wonder how would ut bros and the bad sanses (is that a word?) comfort their s/o if they lost a pet or a loved one and how would they help their s/o to move on. how would they get through each day, yknow anything with grief (feel free to add your own or take away sanses if you want or change something idk, i dont mind :)
i said it once and ill say it twice please if you feel uncomfortable or dont understand what i have written (to be honest i dont understand what i have written myself) then please ignore this, i dont mind.
unimportant but my cat lived to 15 and he helped me through alot, he was my guardian angel when i was little and still is.
your posts always cheer me up and i hope you have a wonderful morning/day/evening/night <3
Hey, don't even worry about it man. I understand why you're nervous to send this ask, but there's no need to be ^^
Thank you for giving this ask, and I'm so happy to hear that you like my posts! It makes me happy that it'll cheer you up, and hopefully this works well for you.
Sans- Sans understands that losing someone you've been with hurts. He had to go through it a lot with his brother and friends all dying over and over again. Of course, with that, he sort of... started to get used to it? In a weird way. Yes, losing them still hurt, though whenever it happened, he started to feel it less and less. He still gets mad! As one would expect, you know? Even with that, he doesn't ever never feel anything for it, he's scared the moment that happens, he's going to go dark on others. He was scared of turning into Dusty or... Killer. Or one of the other bad versions of him. When you came to him, telling him that your cat died of 15 years died, he's going to try to react to your stuff like how he reacts to his own things sometimes. He made some light jokes to see how you'd react, and if it was bad, he would change his tactics. He doesn't want you to be mad at him or anything obviously! He wants you to feel better, to be happy, he never does well with people who are sad. So, if that doesn't work, he's going to sit with you and hold you as you cry, and he'd ask some questions and ask for stories of your cat to see you talk about them. He tells you that it might be upsetting now, and for a long time, but... it's going to be good to remember all of those stories. While you're upset and sad, he'll help out around the house more than he did before even though he himself also has depression, one of the reasons why he never did much, and he'll make sure to check your soul every so often since he didn't want to have any chance of your soul cracking because of your sadness. He'll tell you that your cat is still with you, just not in person anymore, but they're always going to be there for you, just like he is, because they both love you.
Papyrus- Papyrus will undeniably be the one that reacts to it more. What?! They died? He's so sorry! He'll make sure that you're okay, asking questions to see if you are and if you aren't, he's going to make sure that you will be! He cares about you so much, and now that they're gone, he's going to be here for you an extra 500%! Rest assured, if there's anything he can do to make you feel better, he's going to do it because he knows how much pets normally mean to others. He never really had one himself yet knows that they normally mean a lot. Plus 15 years! That's a long time for humans, that's a long time for him too even though he's a lot older than 15. If there's anything that you need from him, or need him to do, just tell him and he'll do it right then! He doesn't care what else he was doing. Of course that doesn't mean he's going to be the perfect one for it, he would try to get you out of the house to work out with him because that's how he deals with stuff when he's sad. It's a good way to get your mind off things and to work through your sadness! If you don't want to do it like that, you're going to have to tell him that that isn't how you deal with your emotions, or he'll keep trying to tell you to stop being lazy! It's just something that you're both going to have to work with. Luckily, he's going to do a lot of the stuff around the house for you while you're sad, and that's something nice to do. It'll keep him distracted which is good because if it didn't, he would keep asking you over and over if you're okay and what he could do to help and if there's nothing that he can do, he'll feel like a bad datemate.
Axe- Axe is one of the few that don't quite understand why you're sad about your cat dying at first. It was just an animal. You could get another one, couldn't you? If you explain that the cat was very special to you and how you couldn't get one just like them, he'll slowly start to understand. He lost a lot of stuff when he was underground; his brother died so many times, and he couldn't stop that. He feels bad for making it seem like that cat was nothing but an animal though, with all of the stuff that they've been through, they don't really have pets anymore. They even had to get rid of sprinkles because they couldn't share their food. He would ask you for stories of your cat just to hear what they did for you over the years, and it makes him feel pretty damn good, he'll admit. They've helped you with so many things; they sounded like an amazing animal. If you ever get sad about it, he has no idea exactly what to do to help you out, and will... most likely, just give you food, because that's what he wants whenever he's upset about something. Food makes him happy. Do... you want another cat? If you get upset at him for asking that, he'll get a little mad himself and say that he's trying his best! Later, he realizes that he didn't do the best, and goes back to try to make you feel better. He would do whatever you ask him to do for the time being, though he would already do that for you since you're his datemate and he loves you.
Cross- Even though Cross has never had a pet like that before, he does understand the fear and sadness of losing people. Even if it's just another animal, it isn't JUST another animal to you, it was someone and something that you cared about, and he gets that. He would ask you if you wanted to talk to him about your cat, about all of the things that you two went through together, or really anything! If you want to talk, he'd listen, because you're his datemate and he loves you so much. You've helped him through so much without knowing about it, just being yourself, so he wants to help you through something like this. He's honestly one of the best people for this, cause he really does understand what it's like losing people he lost his whole damn world, and now he has his new world... that's you. If, you know, losing your cat makes you feel so sad then he's going to listen, and he isn't going to judge you for your sadness because everyone reacts to things differently. One of the things that he finds cute though is just how sad you did get because... that meant you really cared about them and that's nice. Plus 15 years! That's such a long time!
Error- Error has never had something that he cared about dying, as he was the one that killed many things in the past. He cared for nothing and had nothing... until you came around. He knew your cat, he liked your cat, then they were suddenly gone and you were sad. He would help you out the best that he could, though no hugs please, he's still not used to touching and he won't know exactly what to do. If you want to talk about your cat, he would listen to you talk and ramble and tell you about things that he used to enjoy. He likes to make his dolls, and they mean a lot to him, and sometimes they get messed up. It isn't the same at all, yet he's trying his best to show that he cares about you and your sadness, he just isn't very good at that sorta stuff.
Nightmare- He could sense the negativity coming off you in waves, which made him a little shocked but also confused. What was wrong with you? Ugh, you're crying? Why? What's wrong? When you tell him, he would tell you to get over it and stop crying then he would leave. Later he realizes that you weren't in the room with him, and he could still sense the fact that you had negative energy coming off you and he sighs, heading over to check on you. Why were you so upset? If it was still the reason from before, he would ask you, what was so important about them that you're still so damn upset? You've had that cat for 15 years, they've helped you through a lot of stuff, so of course you would be upset by it! Now you seem to be getting mad at him but he just... doesn't understand, why would you be so upset about losing someone? He doesn't understand, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't care. If he sees that it really does upset you, he'll sit and listen and talk to you about your pet and he'll like to hear as many stories of them as you remember or want to share. He might not quite understand your sadness but that doesn't mean he wants to make it less there and less important. Humans are weird and their emotions are strong, more so than monsters, so your negativity is a little nice for him but you're also his datemate so he worries about you even if it doesn't quite look like it. Whenever you start to cry, he'll grab a blanket wrapping it around you with his tentacles or offer you a tissue. It isn't much, coming from him though, it really is.
