Spooky skeletons are pretty sexy, right?

Spooky skeletons are pretty sexy. I write Undertale fanfiction on Ao3 under Tyrant_Tortoise, and I'm most popular for my fic Skeleton Squatters and the Landlady. Consider tipping me through ko-fi if you enjoy what I do. I do Undertale imagines, headcanons, and drabble prompts. My askbox is always open.

Holy crap, how has it been that long? I'm still laughing over the comments on my last post.

It feels like everyone's life has changed. I, for one, decided to follow in the Landlady's footsteps and take my own advice. I didn't go find a random lodge full of sexy skeles, but I did pack a suitcase, quit my job, and start driving.

I'll throw some musings and SSLL parallels under the cut so I don't clog your dash.

It's no secret that SSLL is self-indulgent. The ex, the family, and the crappy job were all watered-down versions of stressors in my life. Most of you know what happened with my sister when I stopped writing as much, and then the pandemic hit and I was a front-line worker, and it felt like the words just... left me. And then I remember thinking about how much I wanted things to change, but they never would unless I changed them.

When I hit my breaking point, I became a "crisis" worker with an agency and jumped from hospital to hospital, filling in wherever needed help. I spent a couple of years staying in airbnbs and traveling the country, meeting new people, seeing the sights. One year, I think I stayed in 12 or 13 different states. I even lived in Las Vegas for 6 months, and that was the most amazing time of my life. The stress melted away as I traveled, and old friends that I spoke to on the phone began to comment on how even my voice sounded different. Lighter. More carefree. The panic attacks and nightmares stopped, and so did the nigh-constant migraines.

I let go of all of my toxic relationships, and I learned to speak up for myself. When someone started acting crazy, instead of trying to placate them, I would tell them to leave immediately. I stopped being a caretaker. Guilt trips that used to have me crying and apologizing for some imagined slight got shut down.

I tried casual dating and holy shit do I have stories. Wtf is wrong with people?? If you guys wanna hear some funny/terrible tidbits, lemme know because I quickly realized it wasn't for me. My partner now is deaf, and I think of beware the man who speaks in hands every time I sign.

I took a break from healthcare a couple of years ago to work freelance as a writer for MeChat, and if you guys have ever played it... I have a few characters I've written for on there. If you guys wanna hear about that process, I can do a separate post, but I wasn't happy with how tied my hands were. They kept telling me I was too focused on the lore and the story and that the plot didn't matter because it was just a "vehicle for romance" and that I was putting too much effort into world-building and connecting characters.

Then, I decided to quit traveling and settle down in Boston full-time. I just bought a house in the city a couple of months ago and finally got a computer set-up a couple of weeks ago.

Annnnd that's about the gist of it! Nearly every aspect of my life changed, and Deltarune 3&4 came out at a great time to renew my spark in writing and the community. I'm just so glad to have heard from so many of you already, and I hope that I'll be sticking around more now. <3

OH, and did anyone else love the tortoise/turtle representation with Gerson in chapter 4? ;P

[tyranttortoise]

It's probably not surprising that Deltarune 3 & 4 have my obsession with the fandom back in full-force, and I'm hoping it's got some of you back into the community, too! I mean... how did I let literal years slip by without being active around here?

So much has happened. My life is completely different now, and I can only hope that all of the amazing people I met on here are doing well and navigating this really fucking weird, horrible timeline that we seem to be living in.

I binge-read SSLL over the last week so I can remember what exactly was going on, and several things stood out to me. 

I need to go through and take all of the “y/n” portions out of the earlier chapters because man, that’s such an immersion break.  

You guys are really kind to not point out how many typos I missed.

Is SSLL kind of a musical?  There’s so much singing and dancing.  It seems so spread out over the years I worked on it, but reading it all at once had me side-eyeing myself.

I should’ve included more links to the Q chapters because there’s a lot of context to miss if you’re only reading SSLL.

Crooks asking about the confidence of your butthole is still one of my favorite lines.

But Stretch pretending to be Papyrus is still so much funnier.

How did I write 50 chapters and more than half of the skeletons still haven't been kissed?

All of that to say that I wanna get back into writing, but I also want you guys to throw out imagine ideas like the good ol' days so I can warm up with those.

AND I also want to hear your Deltarune theories because I have so many of them, and I want an excuse to discuss them!

[twitchydoodle]

And this is where my simping journey began-

I just wanted to draw out a few parts of it and just have fun lol  I’ll probs draw different versions of the Landlady if I decide to do it again XD

Anywho– if you have some free time I suggest you read the fanfic for a bit. The fanfic is Skeleton Squatters and the Landlady The author is @tyranttortoise

//This has been in my drafts for a couple of months now- oof-

[tyranttortoise]

Excuse me while I SLAM that reblog button because holy hell, this is amazing, and I absolutely love everything about this!!  I can’t stop looking at it!  The glimpse of grandpa made me so happy, too.  <3333 Thank you so much!!!!  AHHHH

[tyranttortoise]

TY I’VE MISSED YOUUUU 💙💙💙

AHHH I'VE MISSED YOU TOO~! <3333

It's been ages and a wild ride since I've last been on here, but I'm back to lurking around here. I chose today of all days to try to log in to Ao3, and it's been down. D; So I spent my time trying to get inspiration by looking through old imagines/fanart.

I hope you've been doing good! Excuse me while I go look through all of your art that I've missed! <33

[manambart]

Suddenly, you feel something warm engulf your frame. A blue sleeve of a jacket hangs from your side.

“here kid. don’t want you giving me the cold shoulder.”

You turn around to face Sans, who smiles and winks at you. Grateful, you pull your arms through the sleeves of his jacket. It smells like pine and ketchup. “Thanks. I’m sorry about… everything in there.” You can’t meet his gaze.

“hey, don’t sweat it. i get what’s going on.” He sits down on the porch steps, and you blow out a sigh and plop down beside him.

Excuse me while I return from the ether to reblog whatever fanart I can find that I missed while I was away~.

& I gotta say, AHHHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!  I can’t get over the way you draw the skelebros as so realistic, and it makes me so happy that I was able to find this one because my alerts are so old that I can’t find anything through them.  You’ve made my night. <3

[aquabyrd]

I have been reading SSLL lately and I couldn’t resist the temptation to draw the background screen from Chapter 29 Christmas special! 😁 it’s also now my new screensaver too! Big thanks to @tyranttortoise for creating such a fun and amazing story!

[tyranttortoise]

AHHH, I have a mighty need for this to be my phone screensaver now too! This is gorgeous!! I'd forgotten about this scene!

[bumblebey12]

Here… take my doodles from @tyranttortoise‘s fanfic “Skeleton Squatters and the Landlady”.

I’m all caught up. Lemme tell ya…

✨Butterflies in my TUMMY. ✨

Maybe taste this stew?

All of these make me soooo happy. ♡♡♡

*You finally go on a date with Axe.  

_____________________

FIFTY CHAPTERS!!!

Excuse me while I come out of the ether to slap you guys with a random update.  ;D  

This one is one that I’m half-happy with.  The first part feels a little sloppy; I rewrote it five different times and then had a long moment where I thought I lost my touch and would never be able to write again.  This used to come so easy!  And then, I got to the second half, where I switched to Axe’s POV, and oooo, that flowed so well.  It’s much longer than the other part, but I went through it quicker, and it felt so natural.  I think I just needed to get into Axe’s head for this one because he’s such a fun character to explore.  

Also, as an aside, my birthday is on the 17th, so I’m going to wait and read the Ao3 comments then as a special treat lmao.  I’m actually flying to Orlando in the morning to celebrate (and look at turtles and feed a walrus), so I’m in pretty good spirits.  And did I mention that the Mass Effect Legendary Edition came out today, and the timing is so amazingly perfect that I can’t contain myself because that’s my favorite thing in the world.  Mmmm Garrus.  <3

AlsoResidentEvilVillageAHHHH

Anyway, I used this update to ramble because I’m on like 2 hours of sleep since I worked overnight, and I’m a little delirious, but I really hope you guys enjoy the update -- especially the part from Axe’s POV.  It was so much fun, and I’ve really missed the fic.  If you guys have trope suggestions or date suggestions for the remaining bois, don’t hesitate to send me an ask or message or comment!

“You can tell he wants to kiss you by looking at your lips,”

Sorry for not uploading I literally had nothing to give and all the stuff going on stressed me out so social media for a while became ignored. But here’s to @tyranttortoise ‘s new chapter on one of my favorite fics ever because the new chapter was sweet mwah~ ///-3-///

[tyranttortoise]

This is another late reblog, but I just now saw it when I was searching through tags to see if I missed anything else, and ahhhh I adore your art!  Your Lady is soooo adorable with such gorgeous hair, and oh yeah, Edge is definitely wanting a kiss.  <3  That blush he has going on is so good!

Thank you so much for drawing this!  I love it so much!  =D

Edgy Edge wearing his Negan costume at Brian's Halloween party

From chapter 24 of the fanfic "Skeleton Squatters and the Landlady" by @tyranttortoise

I don't watch The Walking Dead, so had to search what Negan wore, and when I did, how could I not draw him wearing it? Honestly looks like his normal clothes rather than a costume lol, but it suits him so well👌

[tyranttortoise]

*casually reblogs this 10 months after it was posted because the tag got lost in my notes*

I’m so sorry for the late reblog, but ahhhhh, Edge makes such a hot Negan. I never get tired of seeing him in a leather jacket.  That seriously needs to be my canon for casual Edge from now on.  <3 

And Lucille is looking as menacing as always beside him.  

Thank you so much for blessing me with this perfection!  <333

[tyranttortoise]

Psst hey I’ll bring the goods Axe asked for reader, so she can model them for him. Only If this has him and the others returning in Skeleton Squatters and the LandLady. I miss this story so much.😢

Okay, so that’s amazing and I definitely want art of the Lady wearing this in front of Axe.  I keep staring at it and then at how much it costs, and it boggles my mind.  

It’s so freaking perfect!  

Also... I aim to please.  ;D  Keep an eye on here tonight.  

[horrortalecomic]

Take the poll here!

[tyranttortoise]

Hey darl! (I have an odd habit of calling people darl?) Are your asks open, because I would like some spooning hcs. I guess with just the main 8 or something? Thank you~

( *Psst -- I decided to do all 8 because I’m a sucker for skele spoons! <3  Also, I approve of your darl habit because darlin’ is my go-to when talking to people.)

__________________

UT!Sans

Sans is down for being big spoon or little spoon.  If he’s spooning you, prepare to have him basically wrapped around you.  He tosses and turns in his sleep, particularly when he has nightmares, so there’s the possibility that you might end up accidentally kicked or with his arm flung across your face.  If he rolls away from you, just roll over and spoon him.  If you start to rock him, he’ll calm down and fall into a more peaceful sleep.  

Despite his nightmares, he’s likely to wake up before you.  Sometimes, he may be gone to the kitchen to make coffee.  Sometimes, if they get really bad, you may find him at his desk chair.  But most of the time, you’ll find him carefully watching you, his smile widening when he sees you’re awake, and he’ll crack a joke to start your morning off right.

UT!Papyrus

Papyrus will completely encase you.  He’ll wrap around your body, snuggling you AS EXPERTLY AS POSSIBLE!  BE PREPARED FOR THE ULTIMATE SPOONING EXPERIENCE, HUMAN, BECAUSE YOUR BODY IS GOING TO BE PERFECTLY ALIGNED WITH THE GREAT PAPYRUS’S!  Your legs will be caught between his, both of his arms firmly around you, perfectly tucking you beneath his chin.  He’s the type to rock you or hum until you fall asleep.  

Or read you a bedtime story.  He’s a big fan of reading before bed.  

Did I mention that snuggles in his racecar bed are freakin’ dope?  Because they are.

UF!Sans

Red enjoys being big spoon because he wants to hold onto you.  He enjoys the softness against his body, with his arms wrapped tightly around you.  He has nightmares, however, he doesn’t flail as much as his vanilla counterpart in his sleep.  Red’s a light sleeper, and he’ll jolt awake at any noise you might make, and every time you move, he’ll move with you.  He enjoys sleeping on his back, with you pillowed on his chest and an arm around you. 

He never sleeps with his back to a door, however.

UF!Papyrus

Edge is a light sleeper, but he’s the type that would love spooning -- even if he wouldn’t announce that to the world.  His hold is both comfortable and protective, his body curled around yours in a way that’s meant to keep you safe from anything that would dare do you harm while you slumber.  He’ll catch one of your legs between his, and his fingers will entwine with one of your hands while you sleep.  

Like Red, he never sleeps with his back to a door, but he also isn’t the type to let you spoon him unless you catch him in an extremely vulnerable mood.  

US!Sans

Blueberry is eager to spoon you, but his favorite sleeping position would be with you facing him.  He wants to be wrapped up in one another’s arms, so he can kiss you right as he falls asleep, and your face will be the first thing he sees when he wakes up.  He’s a heavy sleeper, although it’ll take him a while to actually fall asleep because he’ll be so excited to cuddle you.  Blue is the type that likes to talk to you while you fall asleep, to stroke your back and your hair while he excitedly murmurs (as low as he can) about whatever pops into his head.  He wants you to be comfortable and secure, but he also savors your touch and the feeling of being wrapped up in one another.

US!Papyrus

Stretch is all about cuddling.  He enjoys chilling on the couch with you lying on top of him, your face pillowed on his chest.  When it comes to sleeping in the actual bed with him, he still loves it when you’re sprawled on his chest, basically on top of him, but he’s also happy to spoon you.  However, much like Sans and Red, Stretch also has nightmares.  He’s not as fitful in his sleep as Sans, but he does have the tendency to roll over on his back in his sleep, his brow furrowed as he groans in his sleep.  In those cases, just roll back on his chest and stroke the side of his skull, and you’ll be rewarded as his sockets slightly open and he strokes the top of your head.  

“if you’re here, honey, i must still be dreamin’, heh.“

SF!Sans

Blackberry is insistent about the fact that he wants to spoon you, but if you insist, he’ll grant you the pleasure of holding him instead.  He’s touch-starved, and deep-down, he wants to feel loved and secure.  He’ll make remarks at first about how it must be such an honor or about how he’s such a good bonefriend for letting you have a turn, but really, he wants to be held.  He’s the type that would love to lie with his head pillowed on your chest and his arms wrapped around you, your legs entangled.  In fact, that’s his favorite position because he can listen to your heartbeat and let it lull him to sleep.  

SF!Papyrus

Mutt will spoon you or be spooned, but he’s an incredibly light sleeper that has trouble sleeping most nights.  It’s likely that he’ll spoon you, his arms wrapped tightly around you and your legs caught between his, and he’ll lie awake for hours after you’ve fallen asleep.  If he gets restless enough, he might sneak off to smoke a dogtreat or end up sitting at his desk -- or sneak off to the shed for a drink if it’s a particularly bad night.  He’s good at carefully disentangling himself so that you’ll stay asleep; after all, he cares about whether or not you’re tired.  He’s used to always feeling exhausted.  

On the nights when he does stay in bed and sleep, he doesn’t move much despite his dreams.  He’s used to being alert and listening out for any signs of danger.

His favorite is when you fall asleep half-on top of him and he can stroke your head absently while he attempts to sleep.

Look, cringe culture is dead and I decided to combine two things I like: my taste in fanfiction and bullet journaling. If you like skeletons, you’re in luck I guess. These pretty much all feature sans and papyrus from different universes, but one of these is a Gaster x reader.

It’s the day before Halloween, and thanks for the new way tumblr’s letting me sort notifications, I actually saw this!  =D  I love Edge as Negan; it suits him so well, and the sight of him in that leather jacket does things.  

Speaking of, your art never ceases to make my day.  <3  This is amazing, and I love the throwback to one of the Landlady’s potential costumes from back then!

Red sending y/n that "there's room for two." selfie

From chapter 5 of the fanfic "Skeleton Squatters and the Landlady" by @tyranttortoise

This was from an earlier chapter, but I forgot to post this one ^^" He may be trying to lighten the mood, but Red's thirsty is showing 😂

(made this one more like a "snapchat" type selfie)

[tyranttortoise]

This is absolutely gorgeous, and I love it so much! The boney detail is great -- dem ribs-- and I can't stop staring at the bubbling water.

Thank you so much! This is one of my all-time favorite scenes. ♡
