#signalflare duo

[howlsofbloodhounds]

Not sure why but I always pictured that colors favorite types of candies would be those candied fruits and flowers, or those in the shapes of things like flowers and stars and fruits—especially gummy ones or any with gold or silver on or in them like these. Especially the ones shaped like roses at the end. Also candy rocks, he loves the crunch sound.

When it comes to making candied flowers—often for cakes and cookies—he sometimes seeks out beats (and by extension kin) for help on seeking out and identifying safe edible flowers, or if beats has any they keep in supply.

color makes sure not to seek them out so often, knowing that even if beats is growing more comfortable around him they prefer to interact on their own terms with people and can only handle so much interaction at a time—and color doesn’t want to put beats in the uncomfortable position of being torn between their desires to help and their desire to be left alone.

I also like to think beats keeps a supply or small collection of flowers that were dying or not doing well in nature for whatever reason, hoping to attempt to nurture them back to health or just making use of petals and stems if not possible. I also like to think that beats has an entire journal filled to the brim with info on various flowers, their names, histories, uses, etc.

color often lends beats his camera and scrapbook supplies so they can make their journals organized and eye catching.

Color often tends to prefer to learn recipes himself and find ingredients himself because he enjoys the sensory experience of baking and cooking and making things—and Beats just loves flowers, and the fact that Color won’t push them to do anything they don’t want, or force them to stay, and doesn’t need constant conversation either.

Beats and Color and Kin are pretty great at doing different things at the same time in the same room, or even the same thing at the same time in the same room separately—and so long as Color has sounds and the company of people, he doesn’t feel the need to fill any silence with talk or conversation too much.

I also like to think that Color never lies to Beats. Even Abyss lies to Beats or allows them to think t things that aren’t true because he doesn’t want to hurt its feelings, which in turn angers and upsets Kin.

So this is at least one thing both Beats and Kin like about Color: he can be direct, blunt, honest without being cruel about it (not to say Abyss is cruel obviously, just that some people think being an ass is the same as ‘just being honest.’)

Color’s favorite fruit is pomegranates. Mostly because he enjoys tearing them apart and getting the juice all over their fingers, it appeals to his dragon side—especially when he bites down and there’s that satisfying sound, the crunch, like eating a gemstone or a rock. He doesn’t use a knife or anything to break the skin, he enjoys tearing it apart and open with his hands and picking out all the seeds to eat.

I think he prefers eating with his hands. If asked he’ll say it’s just because his depth perception and only having one eye make using utensils a fucking chore, which while not untrue, it’s also because eating with his hands is just what’s natural for him.

While reading this post, I had the thought of Color with a color changing nose ring that changes color with the souls’ flames or some type of jewelry. Could someone with a skeleton body have a nose ring? No probably not. But they’re drawn to it anyway.

He also definitely has and wears one of these on particularly dysphoric days. He could’ve made one himself, but considering that Maestro!Gaster—Beats’ parent—appears to be able to make & design dresses and outfits, I was thinking maybe either Mae made it (and potentially other dresses) for Color and the Abyss Team. Or, Maestro taught Color how to sew and they make clothes together.

I also think that Beats would love to try melon and banana milk, they love all kinds of milk. Beats also loves the spiced pumpkin pie that Color makes, and whenever Beats is sick but doesn’t want to see or interact with anyone, Color will bake a spiced pumpkin pie and give it to Kin (often the only one Beats consistently wants to see and spend time with) to take to Beats.

Color doesn’t use nicknames for Beats and Kin as they suggest familiarity that neither may feel comfortable with, although Beats does giggle whenever Color calls Kin “pump-kin” on the notes he leaves on the boxes or bags he sends the pumpkin pie in. Sometimes Color also draws a little bee or a WiFi symbol right after to signify Beats.

Beats keeps all the little notes Color gives them.

Including/Involving Color specifically:

What if Epic joined the Abyss Team? Color is here too.

Although Color has not canonically met another Sans AU and doesn’t know about AUs (but knows about timelines), if he did, Abyss is likely to be the first AU/Sans AU that he and Gaster ever met in the Void.

Thought I should put this cutie here too! Because she’s adorable and I love her.

Name: Quasar Faction: Autobot Creators: Skyfire, Cosmos. Gender: Female/Femme Alt. Mode: Rounded Jet Personality/General Bio: She's kinda nerdy when it's about stars, very interested in space in general. Especially, constellations, she likes to study them and loves to see the starry sky getting very enthusiastic about it.

She's not exactly an introvert or extrovert. Quasar can speak kinda easily with people, but prefers not talking with people she doesn't know preferring to watch them from afar for a short while beforehand to 'get a feel' of them first (she thinks doing so will help her interact with them better, even though she'll still probably slip up and/or be goofy). She's a mother hen and will fuss over friends endlessly, fretting over their safety and well-being. She has a (selective) photographic memory (Selective as she only really remembers constellations to a photograhpic degree) of stars and can name them all in a pinch. Just like Cosmos she is very clumsy and crashes half of all landings. Relationships: Her relationship with her parents is great, they love making each other laugh and spending time together. They're all supportive of one another. Ripraider - attempts to scold him for his moody behaviour but it does little. Scope - Same as Ripraider, worries about his isolated life style. Staple - They get along too well and make a effective "team mom" duo. Joyride - Joyride takes up a lot of Quasar's time as she needs to keep an eye on his hyperactive behaviour. Though he looks up to her and, well, she can't deny a soft spot for him. He doesn't mean ill after all. Signalflare - She gets quite snappy at his rather brash and self-absorbed nature and is constanty trying to fuss over his set-up with his animals. She will naturally just fuss over anyone really. Special/Extra: - Is widely regarded to give THE BEST hugs on Cybertron, tied only with Optimus. - Is unaware Miasma has a kind of adoration-crush-thing on her and somehow manages to completely miss the monster and it's stalking.

Do you know who is all in the abyss team? I know Abyss, Kin, Beats and Mecha… but I feel like there’s more? 😭😭

You’ll probably be better off asking @toffeebrews, as they know more, but I do know that there’s an “old” Abyss Team and the newer, canon one. I do know that Color isn’t apart of the new Abyss Team at least.

That said, from what I can tell—both new and old—Abyss Team seems to consist of Abyss, Kin, Beats, Mecha, V!Sans (think the V stood for Vampire), Ganz, and Color. Cross was also there sometimes, and so was Othertale Gaster.

Their creators seem to be:

V!Sans (@/hammie-heart)

Color!Sans & Shade!Gaster (@/superyoumna)

Abyss!Sans (@/metakazkz.)

Beats!Sans (@/phaunicier)

Kin!Sans (@/bun-bunmuse)

Cross (@/jakei95)

Mecha!Sans (@/wolf-wrathknight)

Ganz!Sans (@/golzy)

I was thinking about color and killer, and beats and kin, and the idea of codependency.

The big thing with Beats and Kin is that they’re both introverted, and Beats is extremely avoidant of people they don’t know and aren’t familiar with—deeply distrustful of people, to the point they’ll run and hide if approached or have panic attacks if they can’t.

Whereas Kin just seems to be highly independent and introverted, preferring to mostly be alone with just themself and Beats, Beats has something deeper going on as well as their introversion in general.

Forcing Beats to try making friends and talk to people when they don’t want to will be very bad for their mental health and will shatter their trust in the person forcing them to do so. Kin, acting as their big brother and sort of guardian figure, isn’t afraid to set and maintain boundaries regarding how people are allowed to talk to Beats, who is allowed to, how many are allowed to, and when they’re allowed to.

Kin can be very possessive, territorial, aggressive and protective—due to their dragon stuff I’m pretty sure. But they’re like this with all of their friends and teammates, such as getting protective and defensive of V when Kin felt the other V (girl, purple hair, werewolf V), was being disrespectful and rude to their companion.

Kin isn’t controlling, however. The control they do have regarding Beats and their boundaries seems to be things that Kin, Beats and possibly Maestro (Beats’ parent), have talked about and discussed in detail before.

Kin doesn’t prevent Beats from making friends or talking to people if they want to, which they rarely do anyway. Kin doesn’t stop Beats from talking to, spending time with, and maintaining their relationships with the other few people that Beats’ feels safe with—which is basically mostly just Kin, Maestro (Underbeats Gaster/Beats’ parent), Nico (Underbeats Papyrus/Beats’ younger brother), Uncle Grillby (Underbeats Grillby and Mae’s childhood friend), Underbeats Muffet, and potentially Blindy (Kin’s master/AU’s Gaster, who Beats calls their ‘other dad.’)

Beats also seems to be on okayish terms with Abyss Team members such as Abyss (who they see around often enough to be familiar with) and Mecha (gave him a flower to cheer him up), familiar with and trusting enough of them to approach them first; even if Beats doesn’t seem to yet consider the two friends.

There was also a brief drawing where Color and Beats were drawn by another creator talking and sharing some of Beats’ favorite drink together (milk), but Beats’ creator reblogged that post joking something along the lines of how Beats would immediately get scared and magically disappear. Something like that, suggesting that Beats wasn’t yet comfortable with Color at the time.

The two were described by their creators as something like eachother’s “comfort zones,” and neither really want to leave their bubble—but when one does on occasion, the other won’t try to stop them, and eventually the one who wandered off will come back to their “comfort zone.”

Even if the two can sometimes get jealous or insecure or sad when the other seems to be making more friends and connections, the other is also usually happy for them (happy that they’re happy), and doesn’t try to prevent it or make the other feel bad about it. And the one making new friends is also quick to reassure the other.

They don’t push each other out of their comfort zones, but they also don’t stop the other from trying to wander out and grow. They just prevent other people from forcing eachother to do anything they don’t want, aren’t comfortable with, can’t handle, or aren’t ready for.

On the other side of things, Killer is introverted and Color..is not. He’s extroverted. On top of that, Color has lasting trauma regarding being almost completely and forcibly alone for reasonably two decades, whereas Killer has trauma regarding people and never being left alone (and having his want to be left alone often ignored, sending the message over and over again that what he wants doesn’t matter) for assumingely a very long time.

Of course Killer wants to be alone with the very few things, seemingly the only things, that have never used or controlled or hurt him; animals and Color. His feelings towards most other people in general can range from extreme distrust to curiosity to contempt or apathy and disinterest, to fear and terror and potentially paranoia, depending on the Stage he’s in.

Meanwhile, feeling/being completely alone, isolated, not remembered, seen, heard, replaced and without anyone has deeply traumatized Color to the point he’d even join random groups of strangers just to feel less alone and forgettable.

I believe that, if it weren’t for not only the six souls but the friendships and connections Color has outside of Killer (Epic Sanses & Abyss Team), Color very likely wouldn’t have mentally and emotionally survived everything that took place between him and Nightmare, and him and the alternate versions of Killer that all replaced the other.

Color probably would’ve even tried to kill himself or been driven to desperate extremes in an attempt to fill the emotional void inside him and kill the loneliness, willing to tolerate or invite a lot of things if it meant someone remembered him, was seeing him, and he wasn’t alone. Which isn’t a good thing if he’s trying help a version of Killer that’s more violent or manipulative, or even a lot more cold and indifferent.

Hell, given the nature of the Multiverse and Nightmare replacing Killers with alternate versions, there isn’t anything preventing something like the scenario above from having already happened before; and Color and the souls having connections outside of Killer and eachother is what saved Color from that situation.

And then of course, when Color finally manages to successfully convince one Killer to save themselves and keep him alive, all these past experiences will color the relationship he has with this current Killer—in both nostalgic and potentially even traumatizing/stressful/upsetting ways, for both Color & the souls and Killer.

For example, Justice helping Color set firm boundaries with this current Killer regarding details and the nature of Color’s past relationships with other Killers; that Killer is not allowed to try and demand more from Color than he’s willing to share, and Killer’s not allowed to go digging through Color’s things to try and figure it out.

Not exactly because remembering and talking about them is too painful for Color (it is painful, but he’d never want to forget what he had with the others, whatever that might’ve been), but because 1. he is entitled to his privacy and he & the souls should be able to share when they’re good and ready, and 2. potentially, he knows how Killers can get; having dealt with extremely possessive and potentially controlling Killers before.

Not sharing or showing information until they’re ready talk about it on their own terms, to remember and invite in old pain and memories and open old wounds, until they’re certain this Killer can be trusted to handle this information without accusing Color of only wanting a replacement, or having ulterior motives, or getting dangerously possessive like some Killers might’ve in the past is for their own mental, emotional, psychological, and physical stability and safety.

I don’t know, I just like the idea that Color and the souls learn, grow, and develop throughout their relationships with different Killers—progressing and regressing—developing and defining their rules, moral codes, boundaries—what they will and won’t do, how they are and are not allowed to treat others, how others are and are not allowed to treat them—and that Integrity and Justice help Color build and reinforce this internal framework, with consequences both internally and externally if they aren’t followed or if a rule/boundary is broken.

Dragonkin Color secretly being jealous of Kin because he’s a dragon halfling…….. idk just a thought

from kin sans’s #1 enjoyer (self proclaimed)

Absolutely! I actually talked about this with toffee on discord before. Color getting caught staring at Kin’s tail and other dragon traits, wishing he actually had those instead of the phantom feelings, looking away whenever Kin notices.

I’d imagine that there’s a possibility that Justice could be a little critical of Color for feeling “bad” and “wrong” emotions like jealousy, perhaps viewing Color as hypocritical for it, getting into conflicts with Kindness and Integrity about it—both who just want Color to be true to himself, and for Justice to not be so judgmental and be a little kinder of natural emotions.

To let Color feel what he needs to feel and not assign moral values to feelings, especially if he hasn’t done or said anything harmful because of those feelings.

And like Kin, I’d like to think that although they aren’t extremely close or familiar with Color yet, they know he’s kind and respectful towards Beats, so they don’t immediately assume the worse.

Ishdiendidkw. Imagine Kin showing and teaching and encouraging Color to embrace being a dragon with them. Like, imagine to Kin, Color is a dragon, just a kinda funny looking one who behaves a little weird, but he’s welcome around here.

I need to do more looking into Kin eventually (and also finish finding everything about Beats and their AU), but the potential dynamics between Color, Kin, and Beats is fantastic. (Not to mention with Abyss and Color and Color and Mecha.)

Notes about OSDD-2.

[ask-codeearasure]

Howl he could teach him how to breathe fire and maybe,,, maybe how to change the shape of his pupil, some hunting techniques, and how to make the closest equivalent to dragon growling and roars.

All these things are bound to be different for Color because his body is much different, but the dragon he feels he is might be a different type in comparison to Kin's species. He'll probably have different behavioral urges associated with draconinity too, like whistling, chirping, roughhousing, swimming, sleep patterns, tastes in food and what items he hoards, etc.

I may or may not be projecting again.
