Someone mentioned they’d like to see Kennyo with a man bun >u> I was trying to find the post where it was mentioned, but I can’t! So uh if you’re seeing this, let me know what you think. Thanks for the inspiration! ☆
Edit: Aha! It was @renwritesrandomthings
[cyan: patience] ...i’ve been scared to even touch you... but thank you, for waiting for me...

Ash is the Horror!Sans from @bonelyheartsclub. Fell in love with him the moment he offered us a cup of dirt.
red: bravery | sans: perseverance (also “red” the name not the color asldjflsa)
@motherbugmoart requested Red & Snyk angst in the “my wife fucking left me” palette from @m-chromatic‘s palette challenge. @kuroshiro101 and @archiarthur referenced the meme, though, and I couldn’t help but take it in a more silly direction asdlfjsadlljksad I think I’m pretty happy with it! Thanks to everyone who helped inspire this piece! -^^-
Archiiiiiiiii 😭😭😭💖💖💖 aaaaaaaa god I still love these so muuuuuuch! Thank you thank you thank you again ♡♡♡
If I recall correctly, @dmanix made a joke in a server that someone should draw this concept, and I thought, hey, I'm someone!
The background is transparent, so feel free to size it down to use as a sticker, emoji, icon, etc. ♡

I hope you enjoy Kennyo and a fuzzy friend!
Designs for what I call "Post-Killer" Sans, inspired by thinking about @rahafwabas 's second comic on Killer's origin, where he's re-programmed by Chara. The one on the left from an "interrupted" Bad Timeline (a timeline where Killer helped Chara or the Bad Sanses), and the one on the right from a Good Timeline (a timeline where he killed Chara). More information about them under the cut~!
The "interrupted" Bad Timeline is one where someone partially undoes Chara's programming. Because this version fully became "Killer" and murdered his friends and family, the person who rescues him leaves him a little bit of Determination -- as Alphys describes it: "The will to live. The resolve to change fate."
If he were turned fully back into "Sans," he might destroy himself in despair after what he's done. However, the Determination is contained safely inside his soul now.
This "Post-Killer" doesn't feel that he is still Sans, and so he goes by Z now. When people ask him what it stands for, he'll give them a different answer every time. He dresses very differently to distinguish himself from the skeleton he used to be, and though he can manifest his eye lights, he prefers to leave them off, because it gives him an air of ~mystery.~ However, he'll use them when he wants to express himself in a more forceful way, and sometimes they'll appear on their own when he feels a powerful emotion.
Although he doesn't see himself as Sans, some of Sans's core personality remains. Z is still a jokester and a prankster who enjoys having a good time with the people around him. He's more of a chatterbox, though, as well as more optimistic and willing to do things in self-interest. Z likes to present himself with a certain amount of swagger and very much enjoys flirting, especially with his S/O(s). He's very romantic and wants them to feel swept off their feet even if they've been together for a long time.
The Sans from the Good Timeline never fully succumbed to Chara's re-programming and never killed anyone, although it was very difficult for him. With the help of his loved ones, he's able to either resist the urge to gain LV, or is restrained when he's overcome until he can get control over himself once more. Together, they come up with a plan to defeat Chara. After Sans kills them, he uses their soul along with the other six to break the barrier, allowing the monsters to return to the surface.
Before leaving, Alphys uses the DT Extraction Machine to remove the extra Determination from Sans's soul. It hasn't quite fully gone back to its former shape, and Sans still feels the effects of the reprogramming sometimes. He has trouble making decisions -- when asked what he wants, his mind sometimes goes blank, and he genuinely doesn't know how to answer. His emotions also aren't as strong as they used to be, but they're still present -- just quieter.
For a while, Sans goes through a period of wondering if he is "really Sans" again, aware that his programming was still changed and that he's just one of a version of various Sanses. [Art of him during his recovery period.] However, in the end he decides that yes, he IS still Sans -- it's who he wants to be. Now that everyone's free from the resets and have a future to look forward to, he also feels a little more optimistic and energetic, and likes to dress in brighter colors than he used to.
[Although he just calls himself "Sans," as a nickname I refer to him as "Sans Avec," to distinguish him from the other Post-Killer and from Classic Sans.]
Both Z and Sans Avec have stains from the black overflow of Determination that used to leak from their eyes. Sans A. sometimes likes to put cosmetic glitter over his to make it look more like an intentional style choice.
Me then, after first drawing Big, Floofy Horror: I’m not gonna keep drawing Horror this way, I just wanted to try it
Me now:
Had fate played out differently and Kennyo allied with the Oda Forces, or joined the Takeda-Uesugi alliance without his brothers killed and Hongan-Ji razed first, or was simply a neutral party hanging out in either Azuchi or Kasaguyama Castle, this might be what he thinks of everyone (I guess it’s Kennyo’s “Another Ikemen Sengoku,” haha~):
[Pt. II: The Takeda-Uesugi Alliance]
Nobunaga still grates his nerves. Kennyo can’t stand his casual arrogance, and it doesn’t help that Nobunaga claims not to believe in the Buddha. However, he respects Nobu as a ruler who truly looks after his people, and as a keen and accomplished scholar. Underneath it all, Kennyo worries about the toll so much war is taking on Nobunaga’s soul. Some quiet nights, he seeks Nobu out to check on him and give counsel.
Masamune reminds Kennyo of Shingen at that age–but somehow, impossibly, more cocky and certainly more reckless. Expect much solemn head-shaking at Masamune’s wild shenanigans, but he’s smiling behind that cup of tea. Besides, like Shingen, Masamune is an admirably responsible ruler, and Kennyo tells him this–in the same breath as he scolds him for risking the well-being of his fief every time he insists on riding like a madman. He also can’t help but grin at Masamune’s lack of alcohol tolerance, though he offsets it with very disapproving stares for Mitsuhide.
Kennyo regularly praises Hideyoshi for his virtuous conduct, both because he genuinely holds Hideyoshi in high regard for his loyalty and altruism, and because Kennyo senses that the younger man could use the validation. Kennyo recognizes when someone just needs to be told that they’re good. He provides backup for Hideyoshi’s scolding, too–really, running in the hallways is dangerous.
Mitsunari would have made a good monk with his kindness and humility, and Kennyo worries that his spirit and talents are wasted on warfare. However, he recognizes that Mitsunari’s brilliance is crucial to the Oda forces’ ability to ultimately protect more lives. Kennyo enjoys Mitsunari’s positive presence and often joins him in studying, the two reading in companionable silence. Of course, he would contribute to the “Caring for Your Mitsunari” guide. Masamune would have to take the scroll away from him and Hideyoshi because they just can’t stop adding things.
Kennyo treats Ieyasu with solemn respect, seeming not to register the young man’s acerbic remarks. It’s not that he doesn’t notice, but he wants to afford Ieyasu his dignity. Kennyo recognizes how deeply bound up in grief Ieyasu is, and keeps an eye on him. Like with Mitsunari, Kennyo joins Ieyasu in silent studying, but with the hope that acclimating to Kennyo’s presence will allow Ieyasu to open up. (Predictably, all of this drives Ieyasu crazy.)
Like Hideyoshi, Kennyo openly disapproves of Mitsuhide’s more sadistic jests, though not as harshly. It comes from a similar place of worry, as he recognizes Mitsuhide’s self-loathing behind each taunt. He is quick to tell Mitsuhide that such games are unworthy of his intellect and talent as a diplomat, and urges him to be more forthcoming (especially to Hideyoshi) for the sake of his reputation, the Oda Forces’ unity, and most importantly, his own self-regard. Kennyo sighs heavily when Mitsuhide invariably dismisses him, but that doesn’t stop him from trying again.
N3 for Kenshin
Huhuhu~
Well, since it’s Kenshin’s birthday…
Happy birthday, sleepy bunny boy~
[edit, almost forgot: tired meme comes from here!]
Snyk’s Undernet profile for the @bonelyheartsclub world~! Big thanks to @moonrose95 for creating the template :3
Snyk has continued to work as a counselor now that monsters have rejoined the surface world, and specializes in post-underground transitions and human-monster relations. She also runs free community workshops to help build bridges between humans and monsters in the area she’s visiting.
She’s an old friend of Sans and Alphys, and is doing Sans a “favor” by helping to socialize his “cousins” (pro-bone-o, of course). They’re not her clients, but making friends with them should help them to shed some of their more asocial habits, right?
