MAJOR UNDERVERSE 0.8 PART 1 SPOLIERS

Okay okay, but personally, I have a really hard time getting a proper grasp on Cross' character? I know he can be extremely goofy from snippets we've seen from his past, but the majority of the time, we've seen him dealing with some pretty heavy shit and not taking it well. I try to give him some impulsive and whimsical moments when I write him, but he usually comes out pretty serious anyway. There's just not that much canon stuff to go on when it comes to his more chill side.

On the contrary, I think I have a pretty good grasp on his character, at least as good of one as I can get with what I have.

Cross is impulsive as hell. Consistently, he makes decisions based on how he feels in the moment and never thinks anything he does through beforehand. (Examples: Attacking people who get in his way or whom he thinks is bad news. Trying to steal Overwrite without understanding how it works. Suddenly trusting Chara. Deciding that he’s better suited to look like a bad guy and adopting the title of X-Event. Basically throwing temper tantrums on a regular basis. Turning his back on Ink just because he found out that Ink can’t help him with his universe.)

He assumes that he understands more than he does. Kind of tying in with his impulsiveness, Cross constantly makes decisions based on his own assumptions rather than actual fact. And he assumes that those theories of his are truth until someone tells him otherwise–after which he tends to freak out and start the hating the person who told him otherwise.

Sometimes he just does things out of spite. He didn’t even think Frisk’s plan to overthrow XGaster was bad, but he likes screwing over people he doesn’t like. Sure, Frisk was fricked up too, but points towards how immature Cross is.

Yes, he’s immature, and has a very childish attitude in general. This isn’t just because of the shitposts and interactions with Epic–no, this is actually part of his personality. He regularly acts like a little kid. Doing things out of spite. Throwing temper tantrums. Trying to be all evil but just making a fool of himself in the process. Holding grudges for no reason. Clinging to things rather than just letting them go. Assuming he knows everything. Hating to lose or be wrong. He’s just… kind of a self-absorbed dick.

Cross is the very definition of an adult who never stopped being a teenager. Except he’s violent and has no one to stop him from making stupid decisions, which he makes a lot of because he doesn’t understand how to function as a mature person, especially because he wasn’t raised properly and wasn’t taught these things, but that’s another story.

Plus, it’s really obvious that he has anxiety, and it’s easy to see why. He’s got a lot of pressure on him all the time. But that’s not the reason for his flaws–he’s always had them regardless. Even with his whole “I was never trained to be lazy” line, it means that he was taught to always be on guard all the time. That’s definitely a source of ingrained stress and anxiety on its own; that and a domineering ‘father’.

And of course, Cross does have some nerdiness in there somewhere, so then comes in the whimsy and the funny stuff. He’s melodramatic and just seems like the type to make a lot of noise and to make sure everyone knows how he feels at all times, so he’s kind of a drama king. But he’s also the type to just be an asshole for no reason.

Basically what I’m trying to say is that, interpret details as you will, but he is far from a calm person. XD

Oh my god the gaster hugging papyrus, I’m dying scoob

honestly, this rp would be a lot more devastating if I was steering the wheel LMAO

If it's not a spoiler, could you give any insight on the brothers living situation rn? Have they always lived in Snowdin? and if so, is/hows their house different from how it is in the present?

I think it'd be funny if they just had futons in the lab and Wingdings is just like "Yup! I havent been outside the lab in 8 months!"

LANSKWJSK THIS IS SUCH GOOD TIMING FOR THIS BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING I WANTED TO DRAW

They do have the house in Snowdin!

But they haven't been there in a while so it needs some maintenance... apart from that, it's the same house

Then they got the job at the lab and well... having everything you need to live in the place you work at is convenient!

So yeah! You were right lmao, Wingdings hasn't left in a while

Sans leaves more often, he likes going out to eat instead of cooking. And he doesn't like being in the lab all day, so if Wingdings asks him to go for something he'll do it

i wanna take ALL of your Papyruses and hug them tight one by one, then make them have a break from their worlds by cooking all together and making funny puzzles, just like real Pasta Lovers and Puzzle Enjoyers

Oh now THAT would be a very interesting get together now would it hehehe

Commission for @cornmayor

Oh you are so screwed when papyrus gets serious in battle...

a REALLY cool dude!
