Fluff Alphabet for Kennyo: H-I-J-K

From this list! Instead of asks, I'm just doing the whole thing. :3

Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

Kennyo struggles with emotional honesty when he's in pain. He's used to keeping sadness and worry to himself for a number of reasons -- leadership, culture, masculine expectation. Old habits die hard, and he also feels that he shouldn't burden his partner by exposing them to more of the darkness in the world. He doesn't like lying to his lover, however, so if they're persistent in asking, he'll eventually open up.

Kennyo doesn't really have anything in his past that he wants to keep secret, though in general, he often doesn't think to share things about himself unless he's asked.

Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

Being with his partner reminded Kennyo of who he truly is, and in admiring their kindness and inner strength, he found he could no longer deny his own values. He feels he owes his redemption to them.

If his beloved has trouble recognizing their own virtues or worth, Kennyo will stop at nothing to help them see it, showering them with affection and praise, though he knows from experience that the journey to self-acceptance takes time.

Although Kennyo doesn't seek out novelty by nature, he's more than willing to try new things with his lover to see them smile. If there's something they want to try but are nervous, Kennyo will encourage them and be at their side, because he wants his beloved to be able to pursue any skill or experience that calls to them.

Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

Kennyo doesn't feel jealous over simple things. If someone else shows obvious romantic or sexual interest in his beloved, or if he notices his partner displaying such interest in someone else, he'll feel jealousy, but it will quickly turn into anxiety. He'll wait until he and his lover are in private, then quietly ask if he still makes them happy. How long it takes for the insecurity to pass depends on the circumstances. Since Kennyo has a hard time talking about his feelings and doesn't like conflict with his partner, he'll probably be avoidant when he's feeling his worst, especially if he's experiencing any flashes of jealous anger at the third party. As a Buddhist, he expects himself to let go of such feelings, perhaps more quickly than is strictly reasonable (though that's due to his especially high standards for himself).

Kiss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

Of course he's a good kisser. He's an ikémen. ;) Still, with such a gentle-hearted and naturally cautious man, the first kiss will be soft, shy, and a little uncertain, even if his partner is fully relaxed and eager.

Personal design of UF!Papyrus, codex name “Aureus.” :D

About him and the Underfell setting:

All monsters are required to begin military training as children. Every so often there are trials -- essentially deadly puzzles and obstacle courses -- and tournaments to weed out the weak and elevate the strong. These are subdivided by region and age; all adults of a region compete together, but younger monsters have multiple age brackets. After progressing far enough in the tournament, the fights stop being to-the-death and become about wealth, power, and status. In the adult competitions, the monsters who perform best are recruited to the Royal Guard.

Aureus oversees Snowdin Town as its chief commander (which, as all political positions are also military ones, makes him basically the mayor). He is very personally involved in both youth training and upkeep of the adult militia, and does his best to ensure his trainees and soldiers are capable of surviving. He wants to keep as many of them alive as possible.

Along with combat training, he designs his own puzzle trials that aim to simulate the official ones but do not actually kill the participants, so they can practice to perform better when their lives are on the line. Most of Snowdin Town deeply respects him, but he has trouble with closer interpersonal connections both because of his status and his larger than life personality.

He pushes people hard, and can be overbearing and controlling because he takes his responsibilities very seriously and tends to think people should just listen to him. He has a lot of people's lives on his shoulders... and the gravity of that makes him very assertive and sometimes uncompromising. But it really is all about trying to keep the people under his care safe. Although he looks intimidating, his usual demeanor is friendly and energetic, if somewhat forceful. He's just as genuinely encouraging as he can be demanding.

Aureus doesn't believe anyone is expendable. Everyone has something to offer if they're given the chance to learn and develop. The most heartbreaking thing for him is that not everyone is going to get that chance -- children who might otherwise be late bloomers aren't going to make it through their first trials; that’s part of why he pushes so hard. Even for the most skilled, however, simple mistakes can happen. Inevitably some people won’t make it through. Aureus can't save everyone... but he really does his damndest.

Because of how bleak things generally are, Aureus regularly organizes town festivals to try to keep up morale. Ruber (UF!Sans) helps him with this and is often the one to “break the ice” and get their neighbors into a festive mood, but Aureus himself is quite social and lighthearted at these events.

Snowdin is still considered pretty backwater and therefore low-status, but Aureus's personal friendship with Undyne helps him with requisitioning enough to keep the townsfolk mostly safe and fed, supplemented with Ruber's backchannel gains. Conditions are much worse for the "lesser class" monsters in the more densely populated regions of Hotland and New Home, where the class divide is a lot starker. Waterfall is decently propserous, as Undyne has a fondness for her home region, but even there, people are mindful of their status.

Snowdin's always been a little less rigid because it's so far away from the real centers of power that "anybody who's anybody" doesn't want to be there. There HAVE been bitter, abusive people in charge there before, but under Aureus's command and oversight, the town's culture is much more harmonious and focused on everyone working together to survive. And he is quick to remind people that “even someone from a backwater town can become a great war hero if they try hard enough!!!!”

OC WEEK DAY 3: How does your character flirt? :3c

Reika’s flirting is, perhaps, rather typical. She expresses interest by being straightforwardly positive:

“It’s nice to see you~”

“That was impressive.”

“Thank you for spending time with me. It means a lot.”

And by paying careful attention to her object-of-affection’s mood, interests, etc. etc. and checking in with them about those things.

Granted, she acts this way towards most everyone she’s on good terms with, so it’s the very direct, warm eye-contact and gentle tone of voice that is intended to be ~meaningful.~ If she’s more confident about the other party being interested, there will be lingering glances, secret smiles, and the occasional touch on an arm or shoulder. :3c And then she’ll probably just tell them that she admires them a lot and would like to be closer – probably taking their hand and stepping very close when she does so >u>

Quick concept sketch designing Reika’s party clothes / Sengoku-formal-wear for the birthday pic :3c I think I’m overall happy with the ideas here, though the colors are just a placeholder for now X3

lalala~ just noodling around

When your egg-head boyfriend is being a stinky bastard man

He calls it "getting head" just to make her even more mad

(Kohl / Descendtale!Sans belongs to @popatochisssp)

“I’m actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now, but uh... I don’t have the appetite. Now my brother, Papyrus--”

The way the original Sour Apple Studios Horror Sans emotes [top frames]... the way he EMOTES... it makes me kinda feral. I had to draw.

In my first version of the final image, I really exaggerated the expression. I decided to go back and make it match the mood of the original more, but I kept the close up of the 1st version just because it looks so unhinged lk;ajdsf;jlsadjlf [Edit: Reworked the second image to be closer, too, so I’ve uploaded the new lineup, but I’ve kept the original at the bottom along with the one for the 3rd image. :3 It was fun pushing the expressions, and I like how they turned out, even if they ended up too different and I felt the need to do them over.]

A drawing I did a while back for my friend @laurentheflute of her as Frisk~! Lauren streams games and music, and has a wonderful, friendly community -- if sweet and goofy is your jam, I’d recommend checking her out on Twitch or YouTube (laurentheflute / Lauren the Flute).

Rough sketch developed for my personal Fell!Sans design >:3c

Notes on his personality:

[For determining how I want him to act, I first wrote out a description of what I think the original Sans’s motivations, values, and mindsets are, with some added miscellany. Afterwards, I modified it based on how my concept of a Fell AU might push him in one direction or another.]

Humorous; enjoys jokes and banter. F!Sans is even more careful about playing to his audience than in UT – raucous bars vs. dinner party intelligentsia. Pranks aren’t taken with much grace in Fell, so he’s not whipping out the whoopee cushions. And he’s only intentionally annoying with people he’s really comfortable with, when he knows it will be received with affectionate exasperation, or in situations where it would be advantageous to charm and amuse someone at someone else’s expense.

He’s not above using mean-spirited humor to slight someone, either for social clout or to put someone in their place, but he’ll always do something to smooth it over later. Best to stay on people’s good sides as much as possible.

Observant, especially of expressions/body language

Scientific / intelligent / curious

Social, likes making friends – socializes enough to be widely known and to make a good impression. This is his survival strategy of choice. Allows him to keep abreast of any potential threats through a wide information network. He genuinely wants to connect with people, but understands that actual trust can be dangerous – there’s no guarantee of loyalty or good will from anyone.

Cheats and lies to get the upper hand (cunning & innovative). Can manipulate time and space / break the game mechanics to do this. Fucks around with this even more in Fell

Resigned; there’s no future so all he can do is enjoy the present with the people he cares about (esp. Papyrus) He works harder at making sure F!Papyrus knows he is reliable

Might not do much more work at the sentry stations than in UT, since sentry work is boring to him, but certainly keeps up the appearance of doing more work, enough to be on Undyne’s good side and to be respectable.

Maybe less of a salesman grifter and more into bets, gambling, and what seem like games of chance? Absolutely uses his timespace fuckery to his advantage, but intentionally loses just often enough to avoid suspicion.

He’s probably been depressed for most of his life, so sleeping in his free time to escape isn’t new. However, he has to put a lot of time into keeping up a presence with others, so he has fewer opportunities for sleep. Has maintained better physical condition out of necessity, but still prefers to shortcut than walk if he doesn’t need to stop and socialize along the way. Also still eats like garbage.

Strong feelings about promises (some kind of trauma?)

Just as, if not more, internally conflicted than in UT about whether “tend and befriend” or “the best defense is a strong offense” is the better survival strategy – and about which one he wants more based on his own feelings/principles

Still will not violently confront you no matter how many people you kill, until his back’s against the wall because the world might end entirely)

Kinda judgmental (I mean, obviously lkasdf;lj) and varies in passive aggression/implied accusations vs. bluntness - Definitely nastier about this than in UT, though his standards are probably a little different given the world. [How much does he actually care about non-violence? Does it hinge on whether he thinks a person deserves it or it’s “necessary”?]

Can be confrontational and meddlesome, but how much of his following the player around and being helpful is him adhering to the promise and how much is his natural desire to help? Is he wanting to help the player or is he keeping an eye out on behalf of his fellow monsters? It’s probably a mix of all of these things. Although he typically has a confident, easygoing swagger and doesn’t pick fights, he is more aggressive in responding to people who intentionally provoke him. It doesn’t pay to be timid in Fell. And everyone knows that he can and will meddle in their affairs if he has some incentive to do so.

DOES seem to be genuinely invested in being helpful, especially towards Papyrus, but also with Alphys. Is very generous – often out of true goodwill and concern for others, but also because it “buys” him goodwill from others… at least enough for a tip-off or occasional favor.

Enjoys the limelight, but does not seek leadership Deeply caring and sentimental; sometimes the affectionate things he does seem to be in secret

Doesn’t talk much about himself. Distrusting and unwilling to be vulnerable, given how precarious social connections are. With the people he does trust, he wants to seem strong, competent, and reliable, and so avoids vulnerability even with them. All of this is incredibly lonely for him.

Miscellany: Enjoys food and is an adventurous eater (OR is just making shit up about human food to entertain his neighbors in Snowdin lasdfj;sfja)??? But always orders the worst burger off the menu?

Is an entertainer at the MTT resort

Cares more about appearances than UT Sans; how he presents himself is intentional and based on how he wants people to think about and respond to him

Probably does not scratch his ass in public

This version of Fell Sans and Papyrus have more genuine, transparent affection for each other than in many depictions of Fell. Heightened danger has made them close allies.

has this been done
