Don’t know if I’ll color it but Have a lamia Axe and Ark.

Axe: *take one step closer and i will rip your head off*

[skelly-survival-guide]

I'm wondering how the skeletons and other monsters are surviving the current global crisis. Would the establishments of all the Grillbys and the Muffets be open to humans that are with skeletons? I wish I could shortcut too.

So this would be if I put the boys in what would be a mirror of our world. The monsters wouldn’t have to worry about getting sick or even passing the disease around since they don’t have the type of physical bodies that viruses or bacteria would be able to infect or cling too. However that doesn’t mean monsters aren’t greatly concerned.

Since monsters cannot get or give the virus to anyone they become an absolute essential in keeping everything from falling apart in the worldwide quarantine. Monster doctors and nurses, once pushed off to the wayside, are quickly stepping up to deal with infectious patients. As well as making sure necessary public services are still going.

Now if we want a reaction from the bros, especially if they have a close human friend or mate, I’ll try to keep it brief but informative. Simply cause i normally only do answers for 4 boys at a time.

Undertale Bros

Worried but calm. They do their best to keep their friends company during the isolation and if they have mates they make sure they have time out in the yard and have plenty of physical contact to help ease the stress. Papyrus is more prone to coming up with ideas to entertain, mostly with puzzles, while Sans is more then happy to drag someone down for a nap. Sans may call Grillby and ask if he can sneak his human in.

Underfell Bros

Anxious but trying to act tough. They think by acting strong it will calm their friends or mate down but in reality it just kinda makes them look like bullheaded dorks. Papyrus probably doesn’t help with the stress as he is adamant you stay in the house at all times and if he catches you outside will lift you up like a sack of potatoes and drag you back into the house. Sans is still likely to be your nap buddy but now you don’t get much of a choice. He will drag you to the couch muttering and growling the whole way. Sans is to paranoid to take you out right now. He will pick you up a to go bag though.

Underswap Bros

Nervous and clingy. The last thing they want to do is let their humans out of their sight but they understand full well the feeling of being trapped. Sans would be the type to set up a backyard camping trip so you can star gaze together but will bring all the soap and stuff outside with him so you can keep washing your hands. Papyrus is the type who would seem like a chill buddy to hangout with but he’s actually keeping a very close eye on your condition. He will definitely sneak you home some spider donuts just to watch your face light up.

Swapfell Bros

Paranoid and grouchy. Both of them are suddenly grinding their nasal ridges into human healthcare books. Don’t let their normally smooth behavior fool you, these boys are very possessive and whether you are friend or mate it makes no difference. They will not allow anything to happen to you. Sans, surprisingly, demands that you rest and relax as much as possible, as excess stress will leave someone open for disease. Papyrus on the other hand knows that sitting around doing nothing can be stressful in itself and will sneak his human to the yard to kill some time... Maybe make flower crowns. He won’t take you out though. Not a chance in hell. But you will be given sweets as apology.

Horrortale Bros

Very very very worried and very bad at hiding it. The famine made them very twitchy about big crisis's and this time its a global one. Papyrus already had a vegetable garden but when the signs of crisis started in the spring he was quick to expand his garden, growing more and stocking up on more pickling jars to preserve it. Sans didn’t even hesitate with helping his brother, dragging their quarantined human into the farming. He knows what it’s like to feel useless in times of trouble. Sans may also take up hunting deer and the like so you may not get Grillby’s but there will be plenty of meat in the freezer.

Horrorswapfell Bros

Trying not to panic. They are so worried that they start preparing for the worst and any human friends or loved ones are quickly snatched up and hoarded into their home where they can keep a socket on them and they will be safe. There will be a tone of food stocking, preserving, and hunting. Sans will be so paranoid he may drag you into a bath and scrub you down everyday, whether your just a friend or not. He knows it’s those human germs causing this and he will be damned if you have any on you. Oh did you just sneeze? Get in the shower. Papyrus will be doing the most active hunting so expect him to come home covered in blood. And a massive shocker! He will actually get in the shower to clean up. Just be prepared for his giant whiny ass to slump on top of you when he’s done cause he hated it and you’re lucky he likes you so much. There won’t be any outside sweets coming your way unless you give Sans the puppy eyes until he makes you some.

what are viper and mongrel's fav drink and food?

Mongrel (HSF!Papyrus)

He loves anything sweet or smokey. Sweet drinks and deserts are quite literally enough to make him sit back on his haunches and giving you his full attention, tail tapping happily against the floor. But for savory foods he prefers smokey meats. If someone were to give him a chunk of smoked meat he would savor it and then gnaw on the bone to get at the marrow inside it.

Viper (HSF!Sans)

He still tries to grasp at the past before everything went to hell. And even though now his life is better and he can’t seem to move on. He is still stuck in a loop of trying to make life seem normal and by normal, like it was before the famine. He still drinks black coffee and still craves those damn greasy foods he would get from Grillby’s. But now he truly has the chance to eat them again.

[skelly-survival-guide]

Any headcanons about the horror swapfell boys? maybe some s/o headcanons too?

Ooooh yes more questions for my newest babies!

Viper (HSF!Sans)

That one big eyelight he has? That looks like a target? Yeah he can roll it from one socket to the other depending on where he needs to look or what side of him he hears a noise on.

Severe OCD stemming from having to kill humans in order to eat. The first time he killed a human he felt the blood on his bones and it sickened him to the point that he had to scrub himself down when he got home. But the the stains weren’t coming off. He scrubbed and bleached his bones for days after that even after the stains were gone. He took to wearing an apron and strapping his gloves on so blood couldn’t stain him or his clothes again.

His once razor sharp claws are now dull and chipped from how much he washes and scrubs his hands.

Secretly loves soft things. If you are lucky you might walk in on him squishing a pillow between his claws. It’s adorable.

He has the tenancy to treat his s/o like royalty. In some of the best and worst ways. A dark knight who greets his s/o with a bow and kiss but also makes sure they keep to certain standards in life. There will be no days where his s/o skips their shower and their clothes will always be presentable, even the comfy ones. He’s not trying to be controlling but sometimes it can seem like his attention is suffocating.

He is much like his younger counterpart that during his heats he will kidnap his s/o. He’s just much more intense about making sure they stay where he can see them. If he starts growling you’ve moved to far from where he wants you and you should back up.

Mongrel (HSF!Papyrus)

... He has chased off several mailmen.

Hates baths! That doesn’t stop Viper from forcing his dirty coccyx into the shower though. There is so much whining, growling and snarling on shower day it’s not even funny.

The only way to get him into the water peacefully is if his s/o is in there and softly coaxing him in. Though I don’t think much washing will happen.

He maybe very animalistic to an outside observer and he does rely heavily on his instincts but he is still very intelligent. It’s just with words and normal social ques he’s slow to process and respond. He is actually still a magnificent mathematician and can be caught scratching equations into the dirt or even the floors if he gets bored and has nothing to write with that's big enough for his massive hands.

When he’s not wearing his boots, which he prefers, his feet have large curved talons on them. They make the boots uncomfortable but his brother won’t let him leave the house without them.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to date a dragon? Well here ya go. One very territorial boyfriend coming up. He doesn’t like it when you have to many people around you, especially if he doesn’t know them. It’s best to make sure he knows everyone in your immediate family so he wont get all huffy when you close cousins visit for the weekend.... okay he will still be huffy but he wont keep picking you up to drag you out of the room while growling at your visitors. He will also turn your entire room into a big nest and there will definitely be gifts of anything shiny. Sometimes it’s a shiny rock, sometimes it’s a glittery bead he found on the sidewalk.

Very much like Axe he needs to be locked up during heats but he has the added danger that he is very big and very sharp which only gets worse in his feral heats. He leaves deep gouges in the concrete walls of the heat bunker.

[skelly-survival-guide]

do the horrorswapfell bois like hugs?

Viper (HSF!Sans)

Not so much. He’s very stiff and formal in public but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to. Locked away behind closed doors though he may be more inclined to reach for his s/o. He loves the feeling of someone so soft and fragile trusting him enough to handle them. However as he has severe OCD problems if his s/o is dirty they will not be permitted to touch him until the properly clean themselves up.

Mongrel (HSF!Papyrus)

He doesn’t like to be touched let alone approached by people he doesn’t know. He’s more of the he will approach you kind person. But if he does know you (and he likes you. That is very important) there is no stopping the hugs and cuddles. You don’t really get a choice in the matter he will just scoop you up and take you wherever he wants to go. Word of advice, he likes to grab people by their hoods or shirts, so when visiting wear one you wont mind ripping.

[skelly-survival-guide]

Would the horror boys be annoyed if their SOs where picky eaters? (In my case it's more of a mental thing dealing with food textures, but still) But instead of just throwing the food away and wasting it, they just gave the uneaten food to the skellies? Would they be annoyed that the SO is picky or would they be glad that the SO isn't wasting it at least?

As long as their s/o doesn’t waste food they wouldn’t really mind. They had a hard time adapting to literally eating anything themselves and had at one point in their lives had been picky in their own ways.

Axe would wind up being a loud purring engine every time his s/o put some of their food on his plate and it would prompt him to give them pieces of his meal he knows they like in return. This is a sign that he is very serious about their relationship and is basically a marriage proposal.

Crooks is observant and will adjust the things he cooks so his mate will eat all the food he gives them. He does enjoy when they try to feed him their leftovers and he may get a bit flustered too but he wants to make sure his s/o is well fed first and foremost.

[skelly-survival-guide]

Do the skeletons prefer to drink coffee, or hot tea, or hot cocoa/chocolate?

Coffee: Sans, Black, Axe, Red

Sans likes his with a bit of milk and sugar. Black likes his… well black. Axe puts flavored creamer and sugar in his. And Red, the heathen, puts mustard in his and drinks it straight like that.

Tea: Papyrus, Edge, Crooks

Papyrus enjoys golden flower tea. Edge like earl grey. And Crooks has taken quite a liking to home made herbal teas.

Hot Cocoa: Blue, Stretch, Mutt

Blue will make his super sweet if he can get away with it. He’s the type to put two or three packets of cocoa mix in one mug. Stretch actually likes melting dark chocolate into hot milk and then sweetening it up with honey. Mutt has a weakness for the cozy frilly types of hot cocoa that are normally described as basic white girl drinks. I dare you to call him a basic white girl while keeping eye contact… that’s what I thought, ya can’t!

UT Papyrus, US Sans, and HT Papyrus - What would get this skeleton to purr, or to growl?

Ah interesting question.

Papyrus (thinking of giving him a nickname along with original Sans.)

It’s hard to make this boy growl and I can’t really see him as the type to growl. He’d either have to be so angry that his normally impeccable self control slips or, the only other time i can see him growling is when he’s in heat and that would be more of a low soothing growl for his mate.

Purring on the other hand? Easy. this boy has a hell of an ego and even the slightest compliment will boost it. I can see his s/o smoothing their hands over his skull and whispering about how great he is and he would turn into purring putty in their hands.

Blue (US!Sans)

You wanna make Blue growl? Get him jealous. He gets jealous easily and he’ll be pretty huffy afterwards. Just be prepared to deal with his ego later.

Oh Blue has this spot on his back that if you scratch it just right he will start to purr very loudly. Just be ready for him to jump away with the biggest blush on his face. He is a member of the royal guard! He cannot be seen just rolling over like a dog offered belly rubs!

Crooks (HT!Papyrus)

Watching people waste food will make him growl a bit under his breath. To get full on growls someone would have to be threatening his family or people important to him and at that point he already considers them family anyway. He will also growl a lot during his heat but like his younger counterpart it’s more of a low growl meant to be soothing for his mate.

Just about any positive attention from his s/o could make this boy purr. He especially loves surprise kisses, especially to area’s he subconscious about like his stained and cracked fingers, the tips of his claws, the cracks along his face, his teeth, and any other damaged or scarred bones.

[skelly-survival-guide]

just out of curiosity, how would fellswap papyrus react to cuddles from their s/o? or if their s/o needed cuddles?

Are you kidding me? Mutt would never turn down cuddles. He may be big and scary and have the worst resting bitch face in history but boy does he love cuddles. He is such a touch starved boy that as soon as he has someone, friend or s/o, that is okay with physical contact he is all over them.

[skelly-survival-guide]

[skelly-survival-guide]

I'm sick so I drew my skellysona Ark also being sick and gross. She is wearing Red's sweater and has completely disowned any and all pants. May or may not color it.
