Ok so new random idea.
So you know those "Mean evil gf of the current polycule abuses the skeles and Reader until they move out and then they realize that the gf was evil and bad and they fall for Reader" trope, right?
I was thinking about the idea that there was no real evil gf but rather Reader doesn't like having roommates, but their roommate (who was the one exception) had chosen to take in a bunch of people (the skeles) without consulting Reader out of a people pleasing tendency. The roommate isn't dating the skeletons but they are friends with at least one of them.
The general idea is that Reader (who is autistic because I am and I want an autistic character that isn't mainstream media's sanitized autistic):
Is contact averse, aka doesn't like being touched (esp by people they don't know)
Is very blunt and goes for the most direct way of explaining something, sometimes using harsh language
Like routine, and becomes irritable when that routine is interrupted
Doesn't like strangers being brought over (parties or otherwise)
Not social at all, leading to them being in their room a lot of the time
Suffers from severe germaphobia, so they clean dishes if other people touch the insides, and doesn't want anyone dealing with their laundry
They're generally hard to live with, but this friend understands that none of this is them trying to be difficult to live with and just them trying to manage all the stress of their job and other things that makes them able to afford this near mansion in a nice rural neighborhood with a bunch of land.
The skeles don't know a lot of this at first and as such get on Reader's nerves constantly, along with the fact that they think Reader keeps washing things they touch/flinching from contact because they're monsters. Reader tries to explain, but the roommate being given more leeway lead to the skeletons being suspicious at best most times.
Eventually, Reader says that they're moving out and they're gonna continue paying a portion of the rent, but the old roommate and the skeletons will be paying the rest.
Eventually, one of the skeletons comes home saying that they saw them helping out a monster who was being harassed by a human. The skeletons are surprised and confused until the roommate explains (FINALLY) that Reader is autistic and those rules were put in place because they didn't need additional stressors given that they have a high stress job to pay the bills of that place.
When they find that out, everything starts to slot into place and they feel awful. Some skeletons try to apologize directly, some try to convince them to return, some simply tell them to come home, saying that their behavior will change.
However, Reader tells them no. They don't want to deal with screaming matches and things being thrown and things being burnt and all the stress having roommates brings by default. They say that they might've been able to overlook the behavior had they been given time to think things over, but as things stand they don't believe any of them, especially since some were outright rude upon first meeting them.
They don't blame them for not knowing if something stressed them out, but some of them definitely knew and did it deliberately in some sort of twisted sense of karma or justice for them being difficult.
They tried explaining their behavior before, but nothing actually changed and the stress of living with them simply became too much to handle, so they had to prioritize their own mental wellbeing instead of being a "pushover" like their friend. They end off by saying that they shouldn't have do give a psychologist's diagnosis to explain why they don't want people touching their things and putting their hands inside things they eat/drink out of.
The rest of the story can follow them actually putting in the effort of getting to know Reader outside of the house and the ensuing romantic shenanigans. It could be the set up to an extremely slow burn since Reader wouldn't forgive fast nor forgive easily.
Idk, just putting this here so I can at least have it somewhere I can read it. Y'all can use this prompt if it speaks to you, just tag me.
Watching an "I Expect You To Die" playthrough and was just thinking about Mafia(Fell) Sans X Spy Reader. They were sent in to gather intel and, if possible, kill the Don. Maybe they were sent in by a rival Don, maybe there was a small subsect of a human resistance group trying to force monsters back out of their town. Maybe they were a spy for hire.
Either way, they end up finding a "conflict of interest" and either
A) Distance themselves to avoid hurting the people they love, leading to Sans thinking that he hurt them, only to find them one day beaten and almost dead because the group that hired them was pissed that they weren't getting further intel even though they were paying for a monthly salary. (They might've left a note coming clean and telling him that if they see him again, they'll be free from their contract and they can be together)
B) Delude themselves into thinking they can pull this off, only for it to blow up in their face when Sans finally finds out, and they're desperately trying to repair their relationship, telling him that they hadn't been told to become this attached to him, that they do love him. This could also lead to a situation similar to A, however instead it was Sans' henchmen attacking them and Reader asks them to give him a note where they apologize and promise to never put themselves in his line of sight again, but they did truly love him.
I can also imagine a mix of the two, where Reader is trying to warn Sans of the dangers ahead, and upon finding out, Sans kicks them out, telling them he wants nothing to do with them and never wants to see their face again. Cut out the last part because if I turn this into a fic, I don't want to spoil you guys.
Everyone is saying how it has wheels when all I’m thinking about is how BUILT he has to be for carrying it to be more feasible and possibly just as comfortable. Carrying wheelchairs ain’t easy (to my recollection) but he’s able to do that and walk just as easily??? Man LIFTS.
Fear and Hunger: Termina - Marcoh and Tanaka bringing back the wheelchair to Olivia
I decided to end off my 7 days of Introduction with a drawing of a Sans x Reader fanfic I’m writing! It’s called “Determination and Starvation” and is inspired by Fear and Hunger! The general plot is already laid out, and I’ll have the first chapter up by next Monday!
Ok ok ok
Hear me out
One sided/unrequited Sans/Reader
But instead of Sans falling in love with Toriel
It’s Reader falling in love with Papyrus
It was my 1 year anniversary on this Tumblr account yesterday. Weird to remember I made this account on my birthday
reblog only if you’ve received less than 1000 boops! we can all get each other to “max”
I keep looking at DaS like this
I wanna outline and rewrite that shit so bad
I think I will tbh. While it’s still small and I don’t have to retcon it later.
writers when they’re proofreading their works for the 34th time *find zero mistakes, there’s no typo, no grammatical error. everything looks good. hit the post button*
writers when they’re reading said works after they’ve been published like proud parents *find 52 mistakes at first glance, 38 typos and 14 grammatical errors with a bunch of inconsistencies and plot holes*
If you get close enough you can hear him purring in that exhale-purr kind of way that leopard purr. Do not mention this to him. He is not above an "accident" befalling you.
Narilamb prompt: The Lamb knits Narinder an oversized sweater out of their wool that he doesn't really need, but loves anyway (cause it smells like The Lamb)
This is great since I absolutely hc that Narinder can’t stand the cold (being a jungle cat) so this is immediately canon in my story now.
So here’s the thing
I’m going to do the AU comic but it’s going to be a fun little side project. Sorta like how @/llamagoddessofficial has a bunch of side series that aren’t gonna turn into fics but she still shares the headcanons.
There will be no expectations of an upload schedule, and if one day I grow bored of it I will just drop the comic series.
Nobody said anything to me don’t worry. I just remembered how when I was younger I pushed myself to post when I struggled with having anything to post. I don’t want to fall back into that habit. It’s unhealthy.
Similar things go to DaS in a way because both are essentially practice runs before I get into a proper thought out fanfic. I want to explore my writing style before I get into something with more meat to it. Check for weaknesses and all of that. Chapter 2 is in the works. I’m just not pushing myself to upload when it’ll just make me hate creating.
Happy Birthday!!!!!
ITS MY BIRTHDAY (faint cheering and applause)
