#sans answers asks!

[dchuntress]

Ship ask, since it's like-- the only hetero ship that has even vague traction involving either Ted or Booster, but--

Babs/Ted? Ship or no ship?

i love and chuckled the phrasing of how you introduced this ship, lmao, because tedbabs definitely feels like a "blink and you'll miss it" pairing that a lot of people probably wouldn't even realise has been canon(ish? i guess? they did go on a date irl!) — that, or they simply don't get talked about a lot. i learned about their history when my friend who roleplays babs brought it up!

but whether this is surprising coming from me or not — i do ship tedbabs!!!!! it's one of the very few canon, especially m/f ships that make me happy. in my experience, i've seen m/f ships feel unbalanced or unconvincing or just not well written enough, especially in comics or any medium where love interests are pushed, but tedbabs is so cosy <3

i actually enjoyed their dynamic when i was reading bop, they seem to get along pretty well and respect each other, and they seem so sweet and fun. in the grand scheme of things, i'd prefer them to be wlw mlm solidarity best friends, since i would love for them both to be queer (manifesting that helbabs and boostle double date fingers crossed) and also for them to hang out again, i wouldn't mind reading more of tedbabs if that wholesome dynamic stays :) regardless, ted and barbara respectively will always have a special place in my heart

does this entire thing count as an unpopular opinion considering i haven't seen a lot of posts about them...? /lh

anyway, thank you for the ask!!! 🩵🩵🩵

I found...an issue with your skeletons.

And the font thing that kind of contradicts...yeah

I've had this drafted for a while and today is the NINTH ANNIVERSARY OF HANDPLATES (!!!!) so you're going to get... lore!!

Anyway this is correct, Sans speaks in more than one font! MS Sans Serif if I remember right, or at least that's what people thought at the time. I wanted to work that into Handplates somewhere (I was thinking here) but I just couldn't find a good place for it. It ended up in a Mercyplates script that I never ended up actually doing UNTIL NOW!

Anyway, my thoughts are skeletons can speak in different fonts if they want or learn how (except skeletons with a cipher) and some are just born with multiple font styles, but they have a primary font they prefer to speak in. Sans has a bit of MS Sans Serif in him but he likes Comic Sans more, haha. Papyrus might have a touch of Parchment MF in him but it's so similar to Papyrus that you probably wouldn't even be able to tell. Gaster only has Wingdings though, most cipher skeletons only have the one font.

Nine years... it doesn't feel like it's been that long. It's hard to believe...

Tommy has three brothers.

You may think that this would have taught him how to share, but it didn’t. It taught him that if he wanted something to grab it quick and hold it tight.

Which is to say that he does not like Carol.

He is not thrilled when Steve asks their teacher if Carol can sit with them during snack time because Steve is his best friend. He found him first and he’s not letting go of him.

Especially not to some dumb girl that plays with dolls.

“Mr. Whiskers isn’t a doll. He’s a cat.”

“Mr. Whiskers is a dumb toy,” Tommy grouses, pulling on Steve’s backpack strap so he follows him. Steve says he likes toys and Tommy concedes because he likes toys too just - “Not dumb toys. I have cool toys. I can show you.”

And Tommy does. He drags Steve onto the bus with him. None of his brothers mention it when Steve gets off at their stop.

In fact, no one mentions it at all. Especially not to their mother so it’s something of a surprise when she turns around to find a boy in her kitchen. Not one of her boys but - “Hello?”

The little boy looks away from the pot boiling on the stove and asks, “How come you don’t have a microwave?”

“Mama says that I can’t use the stove ‘cause I’m not big enough,” He continues while Maria stares dumbfounded at him. “Tommy’s not big either and you don’t got a microwave. Does he just eat cereal?”

The boy blinks at her, “I’m Steve, by the way.”

“Steve,” She says slowly, connecting the name to Tommy’s friend from school. “Does anyone know you’re here?”

“I know I’m here.”

“Anyone else?”

“Tommy knows,” He says. “He’s in his room. We’re playing nascar.”

“That sounds fun,” She says, slipping into mom mode. She crouches down so they’re eye-level and smiles, “Why don’t I call your mom and let her know that you’re having fun?”

She can see the clogs turning in his head before Sleve slumps his shoulders. His bottom lip juts out and his eyes get shiny. She’s about to ask him what’s wrong when Tommy slides into the room on his socks and Steve tells him in a sad little voice, “Your mama wants me to go home now.”

Tommy promptly bursts into tears.

He doesn’t want Steve to leave. He’ll miss him and he hasn’t even showed him his GI Joe yet.

It takes a lot of soothing words, many reassurances that she’s not kicking Steve out, and the recruitment of her husband before the situation was calmed down. It’s only then that Steve - dry-eyed now - suggests, “I can call my mama.”

This is what Maria was trying to accomplish in the first place.

She takes Steve into the living room where their landline was. He dials his phone number carefully as her, her husband David, and Tommy watch. He gives her a reassuring smile, holding the phone to his ear.

“Hi, Mama! It’s Steve,” He says into the receiver. “I’m at Tommy’s. He’s my best friend and his mama said I can stay the night. Love you. Bye. Love you.”

He hangs up the phone before Maria could ask for it and informs her, “Mama is a super busy lady. She’s goin’ to the - to the store. She says she loves you.”

The boys run off to continue playing while Maria processes what the hell just happened. She’s still processing when David picks up the phone and presses the same buttons Steve had.

He holds the phone to his ear and gets the answering machine for, “The fucking Harringtons?”

God the babybones are so cute. i bet sans used to be a menace as a child teleporting everywhere giving his dad heart attacks.

I just wanna pinch their cheeks :3

(do they even have cheeks??)

Oh god, he were, he absolutely were

He's too tired to even remember where he put him in the first place x) Single parent struggles And also, I guess they have cheek bones, so you can pinch that if you wanna x)

Waittaminuine...

windings so far had been speaking with his mouth closed, while papyrus open his mouth when speaking!

I like that fun detail!!!

( wait is that gonna be relevant lorewise- THE ACCIDENT CRACKED HIS JAW TO OPEN???)

It's a small detail, but I love when new people notice it The reason for this design choice is that I wanted Wingdings to be more visually similar to Sans I've said this before, but the reason Papyrus DOES open his mouth is because most other monsters do it... so he assumed he needed to do it too...now he thinks Sans is lazy for not doing it

[k4ppasta]

wait actually I take back my old ask Fresh and Ink interacting would be so cool w/ your interpretations... I like your ink sooo much and would adore seeing how the two of those freaks . did anything. you can ignore this if getting two asks is weird though thumbs up

prior to this comic, ink forcibly removed fresh parasite from his hosts body in a rather straightforward manner

If you're accepting requests, could you draw Lust gossiping with Nightmare?

For some reason, I imagine Nightmare being interested in these gossips just because most of them involves humiliations, shameful moments and people getting screwed, or something like that, and this would be an indirect source of negativity for him, as he would be feeling it, even if from afar, the shame and fury that such a person feels.

He wouldn't care who suffered or not, he would just like to know how that person got screwed, so he could identify what they felt to feed on that feeling to satisfy himself.

Also because he is an asshole and like seeing people having bad days and consequences-

OMGGG NIGHTMARE TOTALLY WOULDDD

That’s how he gets his information about everyone, since Lust is pretty much friends with everyone. Lust would spill everything they know and maybe even vent to him- GAH I love this idea so much

Nightmare and Lust having a girl’s night out

Nightmare belongs to Jokublog

Lust belongs to NSFWshamecave

Ccino belongs to black-nyanko

Hi, it's Ray again! I was the one who requested Nightmare holding black roses, haha! Don't worry! Ray doesn't want to force you! Take your time and please don't feel guilty about it!

-Ray (the person who has their 5'2 Nightmare)

Hii!!! :D

I still feel a bit bad cause your request is one of the oldest ones in my inbox

But while you're here, have this wip of the Nightmare with Rose's that I had so far ^^

I hope you have a great day ^^

And sorry again

[forgettable-au]

Sans do you ever feel that something might be missing?

Maybe he felt like that at some point, maybe for a long time. In the present, I think he's made some kind of peace with it.

Also, I really like the ask blog format, but I don't really mean this to be an ask blog.

So when writing questions, try to refer them to me instead of the characters. That way, they don't have to break the fourth wall lmao. I really wanted to answer this one tho
