#as much as it can be fun to interact with other sanses

[the-fabled-void]

Give you a fandom phenomenon? Uhhhhh how about the fact that people overcorrected with Sans and his edgy 2016 characterization and instead had him...not care over anything, including Papyrus' death. I'd be mad at it but honestly I can't help but imagine people cringing so hard at their 2016 characterization that they went in the complete opposite direction and it's so funny

Oh yeah it's a very interesting phenomenon for sure! It's extra noticable with Sans due to how popular he is. As for you mentioning people cringing at their past interpretations - that's probably a part of it. People who joined the fandom as angsty preteens are now young adults with different views.

Not to mention, especially the AU fans, but also a lot of others spent a huge amount of time in fanon echo chambers (cough cough, evil Chara effect) instead of interacting with the source material. The fandom being a video game you can only play a few times before it feels repetitive probably doesn't help.

So, there are the old fans. But mainly in 2020, other people have also joined. And unlike the old ones, they just started interacting with the game. It's still fresh in their mind.

... And 2020 led to a lot of people who are new to fandom joining fandoms without knowing proper fandom etiquette. Those people that comment on noncanon ship posts to complain about the fact that it's not canon, and neglect to ignore that fandoms are about fun.

By trying to make him more 'canon' people basically just make him fanon in the complete opposite direction. I also feel like people saw what they did back then by making him so depressed, not just from his brother's death in a no mercy, but also just in general. Usually from a knowledge of resets.

One thing that I haven't noticed a change in is interestingly enough is how people treat his knowledge. Which is way less than people make it. He knows there's a possibility and that the human is connected to it. Hell, he tests if Frisk is a time traveler by giving them a silly password because he doesn't know for sure.

Not that I'm criticizing stories that give him more awareness. The fact that there's so many just means it has great potential. Aftertale is probably my favorite example of that. Geno is such a cool character and the nightmares are a creative way of handling it. 4th wall breaking is probably my favorite phenomenon in all of fiction.

Recently, people have started exploring the idea of other characters having that awareness. I mean, Flowey is canonically aware, and is a mere millimeter away from grasping his world's nature as a video game. He's already treated it as one himself. So, UT!Dusttale was born.

A lot of AU Sanses have that baked into their very character, so I get why people wouldn't touch that (though, it would be extremely interesting to figure out how Dusttale or Something New would work if it was just a deja vu feeling)

I am totally not biased to say I would love a take involving Chara. Pretty sure No More Deals is a similar thing. And you specifically know exactly the details I've thought of for Storyshift: Elevation :)

Oh, and another aspect of the overcorrection thing: AUs.

Back then you could just read up on the concept of an AU Sans and put him somewhere and nobody would give a shit about mischaracterization. Which, you know, isn't perfect but I have to admit it was really fun to do.

Nowdays you compare Dreamtale to Celestia and Luna ONCE in a Discord server to make a bad joke and all hell breaks loose. I get wanting to respect creators more than we did back then, but we have to remember that AUs are just as fanon as 'Don't curse around my bro' Sans.

The creators' words are not gospel.

As much as I love Toby, his words aren't gospel either.

People are allowed to have their own takes, their own opinions. I am never going to police anyone's takes on fandom shit. But one important thing to note is: people can have their own takes, but people should also aknowledge what's their own take and what's the creator's original vision.

< Introduction >

People with the ENFP personality type (Campaigners) are true free spirits – outgoing, openhearted, and open-minded. With their lively, upbeat approach to life, ENFPs stand out in any crowd. But even though they can be the life of the party, they don’t just care about having a good time. These personalities have profound depths that are fueled by their intense desire for meaningful, emotional connections with others.

ENFP personalities carry an interesting blend of carefree sociability, sparkling imagination, and deep, contemplative introspection. They regularly use their natural curiosity and expansive creativity to try to better understand themselves and the complex dynamics of human relationships. And they are truly devoted to nurturing their relationships with and their understanding of the world at large.

In their unique way, ENFPs’ introspective nature is driven by their imagination, wonder, and belief in things that cannot always be explained rationally. People with this personality type truly believe that everything – and everyone – is connected, and they live for the glimmers of insight that they can gain from these connections. They believe that how we treat one another really matters. In fact, ENFPs are the most likely personality type to believe in the concept of karma.

ENFPs are independent and creative, always on the lookout for the magic and meaning in everyday life. They can’t help but ponder the deeper significance of life – even when they should be paying attention to something else.

When something sparks their imagination, ENFPs show an enthusiasm that is nothing short of infectious. These personalities can’t help but to radiate a positive energy that draws other people in. Consequently, they might find themselves being held up by their peers as a leader or guru. However, once their initial bloom of inspiration wears off, ENFPs can struggle with self-discipline and consistency, losing steam on projects that once meant so much to them.

Seeking joy:

ENFP personalities are proof that seeking out life’s joys and pleasures isn’t the same as being shallow. Seemingly in the blink of an eye, people with this personality type can transform from impassioned idealists to carefree figures on the dance floor.

ENFP personalities are capable of intense thought and feeling – and also of kicking back and having a good time.

Even in moments of fun, ENFPs want to connect emotionally with others. Few things matter more to these personalities than having genuine, heartfelt conversations with the people they cherish. ENFPs believe that everyone deserves to express their feelings, and their empathy and warmth create spaces where even the most timid spirits can feel comfortable opening up.

ENFPs need to be careful, however. Their intuition may lead them to read far too much into other people’s actions and behaviors. Instead of simply asking for an explanation, they may end up puzzling over someone else’s desires or intentions. This kind of social stress is what keeps harmony-focused ENFP personalities awake at night.

ENFPs will spend a lot of time exploring different relationships, feelings, and ideas before they find a path for their life that feels right. But when they do finally find their way, their imagination, empathy, and courage can light up not only their own life but also the world around them.

< Strength and weaknesses >

Strengths:

Curious – People with the ENFP personality type (Campaigners) can find beauty and fascination in nearly anything. Imaginative and open-minded, ENFP personalities aren’t afraid to venture beyond their comfort zone in search of new ideas, experiences, and adventures. Moreover, their curiosity extends beyond simply seeking novelty. They also have a deep desire to understand how things work and why they are the way they are.

Perceptive – To people with this personality type, no one is unimportant – which might explain how they can pick up on even the subtlest shifts in another person’s mood or expression. Because they’re so sensitive to other people’s feelings and needs, ENFPs can make full use of their caring, considerate nature.

Enthusiastic – When something captures their imagination and inspires them, ENFP personalities want to share it with anyone who will listen. And they’re just as eager to hear other people’s ideas and opinions – even if those thoughts are wildly different from their own.

Excellent Communicators – People with the ENFP personality type brim with things to say, but they can be caring listeners as well. This gives them a nearly unmatched ability to have positive and enjoyable conversations with all sorts of people – even people who aren’t particularly sociable or agreeable.

Easygoing – ENFPs may live for deep, meaningful conversations, but they can also be spontaneous and lighthearted. These personalities know how to find fun and joy in the present moment – and few things give them more pleasure than sharing their joy with others.

Good-Natured and Positive – All of these strengths come together to form a person who is warmhearted and approachable, with an altruistic spirit and a friendly disposition. ENFPs strive to get along with pretty much everyone, and their circles of acquaintances and friends often stretch far and wide.

Weaknesses:

People-Pleasing – Most people with the ENFP personality type are uncomfortable with the prospect of being disliked. To maintain the peace, they may compromise on things that matter to them or allow others to treat them poorly. And when they fail to win someone over, they might lose sleep trying to figure out what to do about it.

Unfocused – The thrill of a new project – especially one that involves collaborating with other people – can bring out the best in these personalities. But ENFPs are known for having ever-evolving interests, meaning that they may find it challenging to maintain discipline and focus over the long term.

Disorganized – ENFPs’ focus on the big picture and their love for exploring new ideas and experiences can sometimes overshadow their attention to everyday practical matters. Specifically, people with this personality type may try to avoid the routine tasks that they view as boring like household chores, basic maintenance, or paperwork. The resulting sense of disorganization can become a major source of stress in their life.

Overly Accommodating – ENFP personalities feel called to uplift others, and they may find themselves saying yes whenever anyone asks them for guidance or help. But unless they set boundaries, even the most energetic among them can become overcommitted, with too little time and energy to tackle the necessities of their own life.

Overly Optimistic – Optimism can be among this personality type’s key strengths. But ENFPs’ rosy outlook can lead them to make well-intentioned but naive decisions, such as believing people who haven’t earned their trust. This trait can also make it difficult for these personalities to accept hard but necessary truths – and to share those truths with others.

Restless – With their positive, upbeat attitude, ENFPs rarely seem upset or dissatisfied on the outside. But their inner idealism can leave them with a nagging feeling that some major areas of their life just aren’t good enough – whether that’s their work, their home life, or their relationships.

< Romantic Relationships >

It’s hard to overstate just how much people with the ENFP personality type (Campaigners) care about love. ENFPs are passionate, warm, and openhearted individuals full of hopes, dreams, and ideas, longing for a life of rich experiences. And they bring every ounce of this vibrant energy to their romantic relationships.

For ENFP personalities, romantic relationships are beautiful and exhilarating – an opportunity for two souls to not only explore the world together but also connect on the deepest of levels.

Many ENFPs harbor a deep longing to share their life with another person. As a result, these personalities may feel a bit empty or uninspired when they’re single. While their dedication to relationships is admirable, ENFPs may need to guard against investing too much of their sense of self in their relationship status.

Fanning the flames:

When ENFPs are interested in someone, they rarely hold back. People with this personality type tend to fall in love easily – and they fall hard. These individuals shower their new flame with affection, trusting that the devotion and passion that they feel are real.

Optimists at heart, ENFP personalities are undaunted by the practical challenges and inconveniences of a new partnership. This might explain why they generally don’t shy away from long-distance relationships. In their minds, physical distance is no match for the power of true love. Rather than focusing on potential issues, ENFPs sink into the joys of a relationship’s honeymoon stage, constantly looking for ways to prove their dedication and delight their partner.

In a world of dating games and rules, ENFPs’ willingness to throw caution to the wind can be a breath of fresh air.

For better or for worse, not everyone can match this personality type’s ardor and intensity. Some people just need more space – whether physical, emotional, or both. If their partner’s enthusiasm doesn’t seem to match their own, ENFPs may find themselves wondering if they’re doing something wrong.

And when the flames of romance start to flicker or wane as a relationship matures – as happens in nearly every longer-term relationship – ENFP personalities might worry that their devotion has been misplaced and the match isn’t meant to be after all.

The mystery of relationships:

ENFPs tend to be very affectionate and playful with their partner. People with this personality type consider physical touch to be an essential and effective way to communicate their love in their romantic relationships.

Perhaps because they’re so unstinting with their affection, ENFPs can struggle with the mystery of why some relationships don’t work out. Shouldn’t love be enough to keep two people happily together – especially when one of those partners is as eager to please as ENFP personalities are?

But, like everyone, people with this personality type need to remember that relationships are in all ways mutual – mutual interest, mutual growth, and mutual responsibility. As many ENFPs learn, the fate of a relationship has less to do with whether it was “meant to be” in some cosmic sense than with how partners treat and communicate with each other.

ENFP personalities know that lasting love takes effort and commitment – but they may become alarmed when the work of being in a relationship starts to feel like, well, work.

Cherished ideals:

ENFPs approach their relationships with the highest of ideals. They long to know and unconditionally accept everything about their partner, just as they long for that person to know and unconditionally accept them in return.

With this intense, all-in approach to love, ENFPs may feel more energized in the exciting, unpredictable early stages of a courtship than they do in established relationships. People with this personality type tend to revel in the thrill of exploring new ideas and experiences with their significant other. However, successful long-term relationships require more than just two people who enjoy discovering new things together.

For ENFPs, navigating practical matters such as chores, budgeting, and social or family obligations can sometimes seem painfully unromantic. But unless these types take on their share of the responsibilities and help keep things running smoothly, they may actually create or amplify any stress in their relationship.

In settled relationships, ENFP personalities may find themselves longing for the days when they and their partner were more focused on candlelit dinners than who was going to empty the dishwasher.

Fortunately, ENFPs can find ways to balance their spontaneous, passionate nature with the stability and consistency that long-term relationships require. With their trademark sensitivity and goodwill, these personalities can transform even the most mundane tasks into a creative, heartfelt expression of love.

< Friendships >

With their natural vivacity, people with the ENFP personality type (Campaigners) are effortlessly sociable. They generally make friends wherever they go using their charm and their excellent communication skills to draw in an interesting and diverse social circle – something that these personalities take pride in.

As friends, ENFPs are uplifting and supportive. They’re nearly always up for a little lighthearted banter – or a deep, heartfelt discussion about anything and everything. Moreover, they have a knack for making their friends feel seen, valued, and appreciated.

Generous and authentic, ENFPs have much to offer in the realm of friendship. At times, however, they may struggle with a suspicion that they care more about their friends than their friends care about them – a suspicion that can leave these sociable, warmhearted personalities feeling more than a little lonely.

For people with the ENFP personality type, friendship is an opportunity to see the universe through another person’s eyes.

The adventure of friendship:

Imaginative and upbeat, ENFPs know how to transform even the most ordinary moments into a special occasion. And for these personalities, nearly any opportunity to spend time with friends is a special occasion. ENFPs cherish their friends, and they’d hate to take a single moment together for granted.

With their trademark good cheer, ENFP personalities can turn any occasion into an adventure – an unforgettable dance party, an impromptu cookie-baking contest, or a soul-baring conversation about the state of the world.

As you might expect, ENFPs’ sociable energy can be a magnet for other outgoing personality types. But their warmth and sincerity draws all sorts of people out of their shells, and many ENFPs feel drawn to befriend those who are relatively shy or reserved.

Attracted to depth and nuance, people with this personality type find it gratifying to watch someone gradually open up and reveal their innermost thoughts and feelings. And with their unique combination of sensitivity and enthusiasm, ENFP personalities can help quieter friends feel understood and accepted – and a little exhilarated.

In too deep:

From the outside, it might seem that friendship comes easily to people with this personality type – and to some extent, it does. But that doesn’t mean that ENFPs always experience the deep, meaningful relationships that they long for.

Some people simply don’t want to open up emotionally in the way that these personalities crave. Others may turn out to be closed-minded or judgmental in ways that don’t match their values. To ENFPs, it can sometimes seem as if the rest of the world were satisfied with superficial, casual relationships. In these moments, they can’t help but wonder whether their deep longing for human connection is just too much for other people to handle.

Ever the idealists, ENFPs may find it difficult to accept that they can’t befriend everyone.

Their idealism can also cause issues within their close friendships. This personality type is known for going to great lengths to be caring and helpful. ENFPs take pride in being unfailingly generous with their energy, time, money, attention, and emotions. But, at times, these personalities may give so much to their friendships that they can’t meet their own needs. Unfortunately, even between the dearest of friends, this sort of imbalance can create resentment and misunderstanding.

Making life spectacular:

Fortunately, ENFPs’ emotional sensitivity enables them to respond not only to their friends’ needs but also to their own. Once they learn to balance their desire to help others with their need to stay true to themselves, ENFPs can bring the full strength of their empathy, curiosity, and joy to their friendships. And the adventures that people with this personality type share with their friends are the stuff that a great life is made of.

< Parenthood >

For people with the ENFP personality type (Campaigners), one of the great joys of parenthood is sharing their sense of wonder and inspiration with their children. Few things feel more rewarding to ENFP parents than seeing their child light up with curiosity about the world around them, take steps to discover how things work, and use their knowledge to help make society better. These parents do not merely want their children to survive in the world – they want to inspire them to change it.

ENFP parents also work hard to ensure that their children feel accepted and worthy just as they are. Rather than pressuring their children to look or act a certain way, these personalities encourage their children’s creativity and self-expression. Drawing on their own ingenuity and creativity, ENFP parents guide their children to discover and embrace their unique passions and interests.

ENFPs encourage their children’s curiosity, sweeping away dolls and dinosaurs when interests shift to the ocean, then sweeping away the fish when tastes change again to the stars.

Balancing love and discipline:

Striking the right balance between respecting their children’s autonomy and enforcing discipline can sometimes be a challenge for ENFP parents due to their strong affinity for harmony and individual freedom. They might not always have the heart (or, as they may see it, the lack of heart) to enforce the rules and restrictions needed to provide structure and reinforce important boundaries. These personalities often worry that if they’re too strict a disciplinarian, they’ll compromise the loving bond that they have with their children.

With time, however, many people with the ENFP personality type discover that having just enough structure can actually help their children thrive. Once they recognize this, these parents often learn to set guidelines in a way that’s loving but firm. In this light, enforcing appropriate rules can become yet another way that ENFP personalities express just how much they love and care for their children.

No matter how their children behave, ENFP parents rarely lose touch with their open-minded and empathetic nature.

ENFPs tend to radiate acceptance and compassion. As parents, they aim to become confidants who their children can open up to without fear of judgment. People with this personality type excel at creating safe spaces where their children can feel comfortable talking about their frustrations and their fears as well as their dearest hopes and dreams.

Go on, spread your wings:

Throughout their children’s lives, ENFP personalities provide their kids with an almost overwhelming amount of love and support. But as children mature into adolescence, they naturally feel drawn to establish their independence. They may spend more time with their friends than with their family or experiment with views and ideas that are radically different from their parents’.

ENFPs often see their children’s choices and behaviors as a referendum on their own parenting success.

Although they love the idea of their children becoming independent, ENFPs may sometimes feel that their children are pushing them away – something that can be profoundly hurtful for these personalities. They may be free spirits, but ENFPs are also sensitive to others’ feelings and expectations, and they may struggle not to take their children’s behavior personally.

Fortunately, ENFPs’ compassion can help them understand and honor their children’s needs through every stage of development. Parents with this personality type have the wonderful ability to meet their children exactly where they are. This can help their children develop a strong sense of self and self-worth, enabling them to venture confidently out into the big, wide world, knowing that they have both themselves and their ENFP parent to depend on.

< Career Paths >

“Maybe I could…fly helicopters and be an oceanographer who writes songs and cooks?” People with the ENFP personality type (Campaigners) are known for having a wealth of ideas, interests, and hobbies – to the extent that they may struggle to fit everything that they care about into their life.

It’s no surprise, then, that choosing a career path can leave these imaginative personalities feeling overwhelmed or scattered. ENFPs want to add value to the world, build community, facilitate learning, and express their creativity through their work. Consequently, they may feel pulled in multiple directions, uncertain of how to honor both their passions and their values while still keeping their options open and pulling in a steady paycheck.

The good news? ENFPs can use their boundless curiosity and imagination to propel themselves forward in nearly any profession.

When selecting a career, ENFP personalities tend to find that their main issue isn’t a lack of options. It’s that there are just so many fascinating and worthy possibilities to explore.

What works for ENFPs:

ENFPs have a way of brightening the world around them – including their workplace. As true optimists, these personalities can usually find pleasure and gratification in nearly any job. They may even welcome the challenge of breaking through a grumpy coworker’s shell, making harried customers smile, or boosting the morale of a less-than-cheerful workplace.

That said, people with the ENFP personality type are more likely to be fulfilled by work that meets certain criteria. First, they need to believe that what they do on a daily basis aligns with their core values. Second, most ENFPs feel best in jobs that use – and build on – their talents, both learned and innate.

It can be hard for ENFPs to maintain motivation in a job that doesn’t enable them to help people or create community in some way.

These personalities may feel that something is missing if they take on a career that doesn’t allow them to use and improve their people skills. ENFPs also tend to be most motivated in careers that offer learning opportunities and room for creativity – including the opportunity to experiment with side projects that catch their interest.

This explains why many people with the ENFP personality type are drawn to careers in nonprofits, public service, counseling, education, customer or public relations, hospitality, media and entertainment, and the service industry. Jobs in social media and communications can be an excellent fit for ENFPs as well, allowing them to balance creativity with a sense of human connection. ENFPs may also gravitate toward scientific and technical fields where they can have a positive impact, such as human health and environmental science.

Letting creativity prevail:

For ENFPs, few things are as demoralizing as a job where every day is the same. Predictability and repetition can make people with this personality type feel not only bored but also a little disheartened. Although they benefit from a degree of structure and accountability, they may lose steam in work environments that rely on strict regimentation and hierarchy.

ENFPs thrive in open-ended, flexible working environments that value creativity and collaboration.

ENFP personalities crave variety, and they love to ask questions. If they’re stuck focusing all of their energy on just one topic or project for too long, they tend to lose focus. To maintain motivation and their hallmark enthusiasm, they need to feel as if they’re both exploring new ideas and pushing boundaries. Any job that expects them to keep quiet and follow protocol is effectively turning two of ENFPs’ greatest strengths into liabilities.

Fortunately, ENFPs’ irrepressible creativity is an asset in most work environments. With their vivacity and empathy, these personalities can turn each workday into an opportunity to learn something new and make the world just a little better – and they wouldn’t have it any other way.

< Workplace Habits >

Marked by inherent charisma and original imaginations, people with the ENFP personality type (Campaigners) bring a unique energy into their professional environment. They are passionate about brainstorming with their teams and tend to excel in positions of leadership due to their ability to infuse the workplace with positivity and encouragement. With their warmth and open-mindedness, ENFPs often find ways to make their workplaces more creative, inspiring, and caring – no matter where they are on the career ladder.

Whether they’re a brand-new hire or a CEO, ENFP personalities feel happiest when they have the time and freedom to explore new ideas. And if they can explore those ideas alongside other people who share their excitement – well, that’s even better. Some personality types are sticklers for workplace hierarchies, but ENFPs see all of their colleagues as their equals. Sure, they may want to impress their boss, but chances are they want to make a good impression on everyone else as well.

ENFP subordinates:

As employees, ENFPs often impress their managers with their creativity and adaptability. People with this personality type are happy to experiment with new ways of doing things and to change course when necessary. They also stand out as excellent listeners, always eager to consider others’ perspectives.

ENFPs tend to light up their workspace with their innovative way of thinking, their empathetic nature, and their optimistic perspectives.

Like any personality type, though, ENFP subordinates have their pet peeves. Chief among these is micromanagement. ENFPs care about doing a good job, and they often feel that they do their best work when they can move at their own pace and do things in their own style. Constant nitpicking from their boss can be seriously stressful for these exuberant personalities.

That said, many people with this personality type do benefit from some direct management and oversight. ENFPs are notorious for skipping ahead to a new project before they’ve completed the last one. They love exploring new endeavors, but once a project’s allure begins to fade, they may find it difficult to stay motivated. In this spirit, these personalities may find it helpful to view check-ins from their boss as accountability and encouragement – in other words, teamwork – rather than micromanagement.

ENFP colleagues:

ENFPs view the people they work with not just as coworkers but as friends. These personalities take a genuine interest in their colleagues, curious about what makes them tick.

ENFPs can be counted on to provide cheer and support whenever one of their coworkers is down or stressed.

Their ability to relax and have fun will always make these personalities popular around the watercooler. But what sets ENFPs apart is how they can transform their popularity into natural leadership, inspiring their colleagues to band together in teams and collaborate to reach their goals.

People with this personality type are always on the search for win-win solutions to any problem. They don’t want to succeed at others’ expense, and they rarely put down a colleague to make themselves look good. Instead, they give credit where it’s due and lavish praise on anyone who does a good job. Group brainstorms are their forte. ENFPs listen to other people’s viewpoints and suggestions not just with tolerance but also genuine excitement.

ENFP managers:

ENFP managers don’t talk down to the people who work for them. In fact, managers with this personality type behave much like they did before they were in charge: They establish real connections with their employees, and they inspire by example rather than shouting orders from behind their desks.

However, not everyone shares this perspective on leadership. In the absence of clear orders, some employees may feel that they are being expected to read their ENFP manager’s mind. Some teams may need strict deadlines and timetables in order to succeed in their projects.

ENFPs prefer to focus on the big picture, letting their employees use their own judgment when it comes to handling details.

For ENFP personalities, it can be especially difficult to reprimand or fire employees – even those who deserve it. Unless they set boundaries and expectations, bosses with this personality type may end up disappointed or even taken advantage of by the people who work for them.

Fortunately, ENFPs have the sensitivity and insight to recognize when their team needs more structure or discipline in order to thrive. And while it may not be easy, they can use their communication skills and empathy to handle even the most challenging workplace situations in a way that is kind and fair.

< Conclusion >

Few personality types are as creative and charismatic as ENFPs (Campaigners). Known for their idealism and enthusiasm, ENFP personalities excel at dealing with unexpected challenges and brightening the lives of those around them.

ENFPs’ curiosity, imagination, and energy are invaluable in many areas, including their own personal growth.

Yet ENFP personalities can be tripped up in certain areas of their lives. When it comes to building relationships, choosing a career, or turning their dreams into reality, people with this personality type may need to consciously address their weaknesses and gain new skills – even as they draw on their many strengths.

Beta + Epic (got the same result): ESPF-T

Meaning: Entertainer. Entertainers are spontaneous, energetic, and enthusiastic people – life is never boring around them.

82% Extraverted: Extraverted individuals readily enjoy group activities and value social interaction. They tend to be outwardly enthusiastic and express their excitement.

71% Observant: Observant individuals are pragmatic and down-to-earth. They tend to have a strong focus on what is happening or very likely to happen.

67% Feeling: Feeling individuals value emotional expression and sensitivity. They place a lot of importance on empathy, social harmony, and cooperation.

76% Prospecting: Prospecting individuals are very good at improvising and adapting to opportunities. They tend to be flexible nonconformists who value novelty above stability.

60% Turbulent: Turbulent individuals are self-conscious and sensitive to stress. They feel a sense of urgency in their emotions and tend to be success-driven, perfectionistic, and eager to improve.

< Introduction >

If anyone is to be found spontaneously breaking into song and dance, it is people with the ESFP personality type (Entertainers). They get caught up in the excitement of the moment and want everyone else to feel that way too. No other type is as generous with their time and energy when it comes to encouraging others, and no other type does it with such irresistible style.

Living with passion:

ESFP personalities are inclined toward putting on a show for others and generally appear to be very comfortable in the spotlight. However, it is not their love for being the center of attention that drives this sense of confidence but their knack for sensing what’s appropriate in certain situations. They have an uncanny ability to mirror the behaviors of those around them.

ESFPs truly enjoy the simplest things, and there’s no greater joy for them than just having fun with a good group of friends. People with this personality type would almost always choose to be with friends over spending time alone. With their unique and earthy wit, they love soaking up attention and making every get-together feel a bit like a party.

It’s not just talk either – ESFPs tend to have the strongest aesthetic sense of any personality type. From grooming and outfits to a well-appointed home, they have an eye for fashion. Knowing what’s attractive the moment they see it, they aren’t afraid to change their surroundings to reflect their personal style. This type is naturally curious, exploring new designs and styles with ease.

Though it may not always seem like it, these personalities know that it’s not all about them – they are observant and very sensitive to others’ emotions. Often the first to help someone talk out a challenging problem, ESFPs happily provide emotional support and practical advice. However, if the problem is about them, they are more likely to avoid a conflict altogether than to address it head-on. This personality type usually loves a little drama and passion, but not so much when they are the focus of the criticisms it can bring.

A spontaneous spirit:

The biggest challenge they face is that they are often so focused on immediate pleasures that they neglect the duties and responsibilities that make those luxuries possible. Complex analyses, repetitive tasks, and matching statistics to real consequences are not easy activities for people with the ESFP personality type. They’d rather rely on spontaneous opportunities or simply ask for help from their extensive circle of friends. It is important for ESFPs to challenge themselves to keep track of long-term things like their retirement plans or sugar intake – there won’t always be someone else around who can help to keep an eye on these things.

ESFPs recognize value and quality, which on its own is a fine trait. In combination with their tendency to be poor planners, though, this can cause them to live beyond their means, and credit cards are especially dangerous. More focused on leaping at opportunities than in planning out long-term goals, they may find that their inattentiveness has made some activities unaffordable.

There’s nothing that makes ESFPs feel quite as unhappy as realizing that they are boxed in by circumstance, unable to join their friends.

ESFPs are welcome wherever there’s a need for laughter, playfulness, and a volunteer to try something new and fun – and there’s no greater joy for these personalities than to bring everyone else along for the ride. They can chat for hours, sometimes about anything but the topic they meant to talk about, and they share their loved ones’ emotions through good times and bad. If they can just remember to keep their ducks in a row, they’ll always be ready to dive into all the new and exciting things that the world has to offer, friends in tow.

< Strengths and Weaknesses >

Strengths:

Bold – People with the ESFP personality type (Entertainers) aren’t known for holding back. Wanting to experience everything there is to experience, they don’t mind stepping out of their comfort zones when no one else is willing.

Original – Traditions and expectations are secondary to this personality type, if a consideration at all. ESFPs love to experiment with new styles and constantly find new ways to stand out in the crowd. Not stopping at mere outfits, they inject stylistic creativity into their words and actions too. Every day is a performance, and they love to put on a show.

Positive and Enthusiastic – ESFPs are known for their zest for life and infectious enthusiasm. They naturally exude the kind of positivity that lights up a room and draws people to them, and this often translates into an engaging charisma that can inspire those around them. They tend to approach life and its multitude of experiences with an open mind, ready to immerse themselves in the new, the delightful, and the unexpected.

Hands-on and Observant – To ESFPs, the world is meant to be felt and experienced. They prefer to see and do than to wax philosophical about “what-ifs.” With all this focus on the here and now, on doing and acting, it makes sense that ESFP personalities are naturals when it comes to noticing real, tangible things and changes.

Excellent People Skills – More so than things, though, ESFPs love to pay attention to people. They are talkative, witty, and almost never run out of things to discuss. For these personalities, happiness and satisfaction stem from the time they spend with the people they enjoy being with.

Weaknesses:

Sensitive – ESFPs are strongly emotional and often vulnerable to criticism – they can feel like they’ve been backed into a corner, sometimes reacting badly. This is probably their greatest weakness, because it makes it so hard to address any other weaknesses brought to light.

Conflict-Averse – ESFP personalities sometimes ignore and avoid conflict entirely. They tend to say and do what’s needed to get out of such situations, then move on to something more fun.

Easily Bored – Without constant excitement, people with this personality type often find ways to create it themselves. Risky behavior, self-indulgence, and the pleasures of the moment over long-term plans are all things that ESFPs get into a little too often.

Poor Long-Term Planners – ESFP personalities rarely make detailed plans for the future. To them, things come as they come, and too often they don’t bother with taking the time to lay out steps and consequences, believing that they could change at any moment.

Unfocused – Anything that requires long-term dedication and focus is a particular challenge for people with the ESFP personality type. In academics, dense, unchanging subjects are much more difficult than more dynamic, relatable subjects. The trick for them is to find day-to-day joy in broader goals and to tough it out with those tedious things that must be done.

< Romantic Relationships >

People with the ESFP personality type (Entertainers) are social, fun-loving, free-spirited individuals who live life in the moment and squeeze every little bit of excitement from everything. Naturally, they don’t spare any of this freshness and energy when dating. For ESFP personalities, relationships aren’t about slowly building foundations for the future or planning out a life – they are bubbling, unpredictable things to be enjoyed for as long as there’s enjoyment to be had.

The spark of love:

Interestingly, ESFPs tend to regard falling in love as the best part of a relationship. They revel most in the stages that involve intense emotions, passion, discovery, and excitement. As a result, they might strive to keep these sparks lit longer than normal by investing more in the flavorful aspects of their relationship.

Because of this investment in liveliness and joy, relationships with ESFPs are simply unforgettable. People with this personality type always have some new and exciting activity up their sleeve, and they genuinely enjoy spending each moment with their partner. ESFPs enjoy physical intimacy immensely, and they prove themselves affectionate, inquisitive, and open-minded, loving to share with willing and reciprocative partners.

Conversation with ESFPs is similar, focusing on fun, sometimes quirky subjects rather than deep, soul-searching expressions. The past and the future, the sciences and politics, and long-term plans and commitments are all less likely to grip ESFP personalities than brighter, more tangible things. They slow things down and add too much weight to their freewheeling style.

People with the ESFP personality type happily chat about just about anything or anyone that comes to mind, but won’t have a topic forced.

The rise of conflict:

Emotionally oriented and sensitive, people with the ESFP personality type often respond poorly to outside “suggestions” on how to manage their love lives. They respond even worse if criticisms come from their partner, and trying to take emotions out of the picture by telling them to “not take this personally” isn’t helpful either. Slowing down and handling these situations better is a growth area for ESFPs.

On the other hand, the issue can be a lack of any criticism at all. ESFP personalities value social input a lot and are almost as affected by their friends’ opinions of their dating partner as their own. Since they are attracted to people who share their attitudes, this can leave them in an echo chamber that only tells them what they want to hear, reinforcing counterproductive behaviors and attitudes.

A joyful heart:

All of these tendencies can present a challenge for people with this personality type later on. ESFPs’ tendency to avoid promises and commitments sabotages important long-term goals. Building real relationships takes time and conscious effort.

But ESFPs are incredibly likable people who enjoy life’s small pleasures. Enthusiastic and affectionate, with a pure and down-to-earth love that just takes things at face value, ESFPs ultimately take the time to find someone who they truly enjoy being with every day rather than settling too soon for stability over happiness.

< Friendships >

People with the ESFP personality type (Entertainers) are known for their irrepressibly social and excited attitudes. They don’t internalize much of anything, sharing it all with their extensive circles of friends with wit, style, enthusiasm, and optimism. They are explorers of the pleasures of life, and they take particular pleasure in sharing those experiences with others. For ESFPs, there’s no point in living if you can’t feel alive.

Making life interesting:

ESFPs are people of action. Getting out with activities that engage the senses is this personality type’s idea of a good time. Sometimes, though, they may go too far with risky or careless behaviors and try to bring others along for the ride. They are sensitive, and rejection of these pastimes can be taken personally, leading to conflict or drama. They don’t have time to be lectured.

Making new friends isn’t a problem for these types. ESFPs use an alluring combination of blunt truths, disarming openness, and charm to keep things moving. Where ESFP personalities falter is in keeping up with the friends they already have. In their excitement and focus on the here and now over history, they might too easily pursue the next adventure that a new person has to offer, regretting that their older friend seems to have changed and become less fun.

Thrill seekers with gentle souls:

As they grow and mature, ESFPs come to respect different personality types and approaches more and more.

This can all give the impression that ESFPs are shallow, pleasure-centric creatures who care little for anyone but themselves – but this is a terrible misunderstanding, and far from the truth! They care sincerely about their friends. It’s why they put so much effort into coming up with group experiences that they believe everyone will enjoy, and they are deeply distressed by the occasional conflicts that hurt these relationships.

For all their effort to bring new people in, ESFPs extend an incredible sense of loyalty to their existing friends. They are great listeners and are often attuned to shifts in mood or behavior, making them adept at offering comfort during difficult times. People with this personality type find great satisfaction in helping their friends, and their support often goes beyond mere words.

< Parenthood >

People with the ESFP personality type (Entertainers) are some of the most relaxed, fun-loving parents out there. From the first moment they hold their babies, they are taken with the joy and wonder that their children experience in everything around them. Playing with children is a genuine pleasure for ESFPs, and they are constantly devising new and exciting ways to keep their children happy, excited, and engaged.

Wild and free:

Exploration and experiences are key philosophies for ESFP parents – when their children ask questions, the answer is, “Let’s find out!” Overbearing structures and tightly scheduled activities aren’t a big part of this personality type’s parenting. They’d much rather take things day by day and break up the crust by letting their children explore something new in their own way, something much appreciated by their children.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that there aren’t any rules – they were young once too! Discipline is far from their strongest suit, but hindsight and maturity have their effects. ESFPs are often keen to prevent their children from suffering the same hurts and setbacks that they themselves experienced. If that means these parents have to crack down from time to time, they will lovingly lay down the law with their kids.

People with the ESFP personality type generally don’t care for consistently respectful consideration of the rules – a point of disharmony when their children need predictability.

One of the greatest strengths of ESFP parents is that they provide plenty of emotional support. While not especially demanding parents, warm affection, practicality, and adaptability give people with the ESFP personality type a very nurturing and encouraging parenting style.

When their children declare themselves future astronauts, ESFPs happily build make-believe spaceships and later use those declarations to help their children focus on their schoolwork and goals. And when the dream switches to archaeology, these parents are right there beside them, chisel in hand – knowing that it all leads to the same wondrous path of discovery.

< Career Paths >

People with the ESFP personality type (Entertainers) have a unique quality that makes them exceptional in some careers and miserable in others – they mirror the mood around them. When they are at a party or concert, they reflect that mood, giving them that “party people” image. When their friends are sad, they mirror that with sympathy and empathy. And when there is a crisis, ESFPs adapt as well, matching the intensity of the situation.

As a result, just about any career that focuses on working with others is a good fit for ESFP personalities to be happy and productive. Moreover, their natural charm and vivacity help them create impressions that last and form alliances that may prove beneficial in the long run. The old adage, “It’s not what you know, but who you know,” resonates deeply with them.

Seeking new challenges:

As natural-born networkers, ESFPs flourish in roles that allow them to socialize and foster connections. These personalities are great event planners, sales representatives, trip planners, and tour guides, as each of these careers creates a sense of excitement, stimulation, and novelty between them and their customers.

They genuinely enjoy spending time with others and have a knack for making people happy in even the most frustrating situations. A good challenge is always appreciated by ESFP personalities, and they make wonderful and inspiring counselors, social workers, personal coaches, and consultants who improve employee or customer satisfaction.

With their ability to respond with resourcefulness and passion when their help is badly needed, ESFPs make brilliant medical professionals, especially as EMTs, paramedics, and nurses. They quickly pick up information about others, helping them get straight to the heart of the issue when dealing with the sick or injured. They thrive on intense emotion, and there’s hardly a better place for it.

Not everybody has the energy for that, though, or wants the responsibility of life and death – some ESFPs prefer to make others happy and excited by creating beauty instead. People with this personality type have plenty of creative energy, and many of them build fulfilling careers in music, fashion, photography, and interior design. ESFPs are renowned for their sense of style.

A touch of chaos:

However, jobs that eliminate human contact and focus on impartial, data-driven decisions can be torturous. Some do well enough by blowing off steam with friends after work, but for the most part, careers that are harsh or power-driven are poor fits. Add ESFP personalities’ discomfort with schedules, structures, and repetition, and repetitive, uncreative work is also often quickly sent to the “nope” bin.

Regardless of where their diverse passions lie, ESFPs need freedom, novelty, and, above all, human contact. People with this personality type need to know that they aren’t just appreciated (though that is very important) but liked. When ESFPs come into work, they want to see a touch of chaos and to be able to navigate it with a team of capable friends who are all too happy to take action by their side.

< Workplace Habits >

The cubicle life rarely suits these outgoing individuals. People with the ESFP personality type (Entertainers) prefer more dynamic, social spaces where they can easily strike up conversations and exchange ideas. There’s hardly a better type to have around in an energetic, hectic work environment. The more freedom that they have to do what they’ve got to do, the better the results – so long as they know what the goal is.

That said, regardless of what position they find themselves in at work, ESFPs share a desire to make the environment as friendly and enjoyable as possible. To do so, these personalities tend to maintain a social and relaxed attitude, and they use it to get everyone else on board with practical tasks that need to be done.

ESFP subordinates:

As subordinates, ESFPs thrive on change and new ideas, and they chafe under repetitive and strictly defined tasks. These personalities’ managers find willing and able experimenters who can brainstorm, quickly grasp new methods, and actually put those methods to practical use – so long as they have a little leeway to apply their own creative style. Changes may take a few tries though, as they can be forgetful in the heat of the moment and can get more caught up in trying to get quick returns.

ESFPs give honest feedback on whether things make sense, but they can sometimes be quite sensitive to others’ criticism of their own habits. Under fire, people with this personality type can become defensive and easily upset. But in the end, if they believe that the criticism comes from an honest intent to help, not hurt, they take it to heart. The biggest struggle for ESFP subordinates is that they value freedom far more than safety and security – if their conditions aren’t met, they won’t shy away from finding a new opportunity.

ESFP colleagues:

If anyone can make friends with their colleagues and keep tension at bay within their team, it’s ESFPs. A fun atmosphere is important, and people with this personality type use their strong observational and social skills to bring everyone together, shifting a souring mood if need be.

They rarely struggle to come up with ideas on how to make this happen, happily organizing events and activities inside and outside the workplace. ESFPs’ spontaneity, wit, and enthusiasm have no equal. This is important because, for these engaged personalities, a sense of fun and camaraderie go hand-in-hand with good, hard work.

ESFP managers:

As managers, ESFPs do everything they can to pump energy and fun into the day-to-day work that needs to be done. These personalities enjoy being the center of attention, and even more so they like to feel like they’re needed and appreciated. Jumping into the thick of the work and applying themselves to anything they’d ask their subordinates to do is something ESFPs consider part of the job. Authority and social status are secondary to feeling like they’re an important part of a team that gets the job done.

ESFPs are great at noticing others’ moods, and there are few personality types better at preventing conflict and encouraging relaxed, enjoyable workplaces. Subordinates are always welcome to speak their minds, and ESFPs are always happy to hear others out, especially if something is upsetting them. Their ability to relate to others and think on their feet makes them resourceful and inspiring leaders.

< Conclusion >

Few personality types are as charming and attractive as ESFPs (Entertainers). Known for their ability to improvise and focus completely on the present, they are great at finding exciting new things to explore and experience. Their energy, enthusiasm and down-to-earth attitude are invaluable in many areas, including their own personal growth.

Yet ESFPs can be easily tripped up in situations where their focus on practical matters is more of a liability than an asset. Whether it is finding (or keeping) a partner, reaching dazzling heights on the career ladder, or learning to plan ahead, ESFPs need to put in a conscious effort to develop their weaker traits and additional skills.

< Introduction >

In their unassuming, understated way, people with the ISFJ personality type (Defenders) help make the world go round. Hardworking and devoted, these personalities feel a deep sense of responsibility to those around them. ISFJs can be counted on to meet deadlines, remember birthdays and special occasions, uphold traditions, and shower their loved ones with gestures of care and support. But they rarely demand recognition for all that they do, preferring instead to operate behind the scenes.

This is a capable, can-do personality type with a wealth of versatile gifts. Though sensitive and caring, ISFJs also have excellent analytical abilities and an eye for detail. And despite their reserve, they tend to have well-developed people skills and robust social relationships. These personalities are truly more than the sum of their parts, and their varied strengths shine in even the most ordinary aspects of their daily lives.

ISFJs are true altruists, meeting kindness with kindness-in-excess and engaging with the work and people they believe in with enthusiasm and generosity.

The gift of loyalty:

One of the greatest ISFJ strengths is loyalty. They rarely allow a friendship or relationship to fade away from lack of effort. Instead, they invest a great deal of energy into maintaining strong connections with their loved ones – and not just by sending “How are you doing?” texts. People with this personality type are known for dropping everything and lending a hand whenever a friend or family member is going through a hard time.

ISFJ personalities tend to feel most energized and effective when they’re showing up for someone who needs their help. And their sense of loyalty doesn’t stop with their nearest and dearest – it often extends to their communities, their employers, and even family traditions. But the intensity of their commitment and desire to serve can have its downsides.

Other people may take advantage of ISFJs’ helpful, hardworking nature, leaving them feeling burned out and overworked. And these personalities may feel guilty or stressed when they contemplate saying no or making changes – even necessary changes – to themselves, their relationships, or the way that they’ve done things in the past.

A notable ISFJ weakness is that they often find change difficult – particularly when it’s sudden or involves unfamiliar territory. In fact, they are the most likely personality type to feel stressed out by last minute changes.

The highest of standards:

For ISFJs, “good enough” is rarely good enough. People with this personality type can be meticulous to the point of perfectionism. They take their responsibilities seriously, consistently going above and beyond and doing everything that they can to exceed others’ expectations.

Despite their hard work and consistency, ISFJ personalities are still known for their humility. They rarely seek the spotlight for the things they do. But that doesn’t mean that they are okay with being unnoticed or unappreciated.

While ISFJs tend to underplay their accomplishments, that doesn’t mean that they don’t enjoy recognition – or that they’re fine with being taken for granted. Unless they learn to stand up for themselves, people with this personality type may find themselves quietly losing their enthusiasm and motivation, eventually becoming resentful toward those who just don’t seem to appreciate them.

Showing up for others - and themselves:

Although they’re Introverted, ISFJ personalities have a deeply social nature. Thanks to their ability to remember the details of other people’s lives, they have a special talent for making their friends and acquaintances feel seen, known, and cherished. Few personality types can match their ability to choose just the right gift for any occasion, whether large or small.

Dedicated and thoughtful, ISFJs find great joy in helping those around them build stable, secure, and happy lives. It may not be easy for people with this personality type to show up for themselves in the way that they show up for others, but when they do, they often find themselves with even more energy and motivation to do good in the world.

< Strengths and Weaknessess >

Strengths:

Supportive – People with the ISFJ personality type (Defenders) truly enjoy helping others, and they happily share their knowledge, attention, and expertise with anyone who needs it. ISFJs strive for win-win situations, choosing teamwork over competition whenever possible.

Reliable – Rather than working in sporadic, excited bursts that leave things half finished, ISFJ personalities are meticulous and careful. They take a steady approach, ensuring that things are done to the highest standard – often going well beyond what is required. Further, most ISFJs agree that sustaining discipline and reliability becomes easier with time.

Observant – ISFJ personalities have a talent for noticing things, particularly about other people. They pay attention to the smallest details of what someone says and does, giving them unexpected insights into other people’s lives and emotions.

Enthusiastic – When the goal is right, ISFJs apply all of their gifts to something that they believe will make a real, positive difference in people’s lives – whether that’s fighting poverty with a global initiative or simply making a customer’s day at work.

Hardworking – ISFJs don’t just get their work done – they take pride in going above and beyond all of their tasks and responsibilities. People with this personality type often form an emotional attachment to the projects and organizations that they’ve dedicated themselves to, and they won’t rest until they’ve done their share – or more than their share – to be of help.

Good Practical Skills – The ISFJ personality type offers the rare combination of an altruistic nature and hard-won practicality. They don’t just hope to help others. They take action – meaning that they’re more than happy to roll up their sleeves and do what’s necessary to care for their friends, family, and anyone else who needs it.

Weaknesses:

Overly Humble – ISFJs are so concerned with other people’s feelings that they may refuse to make their thoughts known or to take any duly earned credit for their contributions. They often downplay their efforts entirely when they think that they could have done some minor aspect of a task better.

Taking Things Personally – Although they might try to hide it, people with this personality type are deeply sensitive to others’ opinions, and they can be thrown off-balance if someone doesn’t appreciate, approve of, or agree with them. When they encounter criticism or disagreement – even if it’s well-intentioned – ISFJs may feel as if they’re experiencing a personal attack.

Repressing Their Feelings – Private and reserved, ISFJ personalities tend to internalize their feelings, particularly negative ones. This can create misunderstandings in their relationships. Eventually, all of their repressed feelings and resentments may boil over in a sudden, uncharacteristic outburst of frustration.

Reluctant to Change – ISFJs are among the personality types that struggle the most with change. Breaking with tradition isn’t easy for these steady personalities, who place great value on history and precedent. Even when change is necessary, they may wait until the situation reaches a breaking point before altering course.

Too Altruistic – ISFJs’ giving, generous nature can leave them vulnerable to being taken advantage of by others. It can be hard for them to rock the boat and stand up to someone who isn’t pulling their own weight. In fact, ISFJs are the most likely personality type to say they would rather clean up someone else’s mess than confront them about it directly.

< Romantic Relationships >

Romantic relationships bring out a side of people with the ISFJ personality type (Defenders) that may not be obvious at first glance. Beneath their patient and demure exteriors, ISFJs thrum with passionate commitment and loyalty toward the people they love. At times, even these personalities themselves may be surprised by the intensity of their feelings – especially their fierce desire to protect and care for their partner.

ISFJs’ emotions run deep – so deep that people with this personality type may struggle to find the words to express just how much their partner means to them. But they show their affection in a million little ways on a daily basis. Always eager to make their loved ones’ lives better and more convenient, ISFJs can transform even the most ordinary tasks – from cooking dinner to organizing a weekend trip – into a heartfelt gesture of love.

ISFJ personalities usually express their love and affection not through grandiose declarations but rather through consistent, everyday gestures that demonstrate thoughtfulness and care.

An ISFJ in love:

Although generally a proactive, can-do personality type, many ISFJs struggle to take the initiative when it comes to dating. Asking someone out can be incredibly uncomfortable for these personalities, who tend to worry about not only rejection but also violating unspoken social rules. The bad news is that ISFJs can end up feeling stuck, wanting to embark on a relationship but waiting for another person to make the first move.

ISFJ personalities approach dating and romance with an enormous level of dedication and loyalty. They value deep, enduring connections and are often seeking long-term commitment rather than short-lived adventures.

When they do find themselves in a relationship, ISFJs are – in a word – committed. People with this personality type find great fulfillment in sharing their time, energy, and affection with another person, and as partners, they tend to be incredibly giving and supportive.

They don’t take their relationships lightly, and they don’t give up easily – even when challenges inevitably arise. ISFJ personalities tend to have a realistic appreciation for the amount of effort that a healthy long-term relationship requires, and they’re more than willing to put in the work necessary to build a lasting bond with a person they cherish.

Soundness of the heart:

ISFJs’ pragmatic approach to life can sometimes shield the incredibly strong feelings that lie within their heart. It’s no surprise, then, that it can take these personalities a relatively long time to recover from the heartache of a breakup – or even a particularly painful disagreement. ISFJs give so much of themselves in their relationships that they can feel deeply hurt when they believe that someone isn’t offering them enough love, commitment, respect, and appreciation in return.

Unfortunately, ISFJs may find it difficult to break off a relationship – even when things just aren’t working out. People with this personality type may hang on due to misplaced loyalty, a general fear of change, or the hope that they can somehow figure out how to change any problems for the better.

It would be a mistake, however, to think of ISFJs as pushovers in their relationships. Although these personalities generally try to avoid conflict, they have clear and firm opinions and preferences on all kinds of subjects. And when they feel as if their partner isn’t respecting their wishes, all of their repressed frustration and disappointment may eventually boil over in the form of negativity, resentment, or heels-dug-in stubbornness.

ISFJs fully devote themselves to their partner, but they may feel unfulfilled unless they remember to also honor their own hopes and dreams.

In their heart of hearts, however, what ISFJ personalities want most is to ensure their partner’s happiness and wellbeing. As long as they balance this desire with a healthy amount of attention to their own needs and aspirations, ISFJs can enjoy exactly the sort of enduring, impassioned relationships that they’ve always dreamed about.

< Friendships >

Given how warm, supportive, and generous people with the ISFJ personality type (Defenders) are, it’s not surprising that others gravitate toward them as friends. But while they value and even cherish their friendships, they don’t find it easy to bond with just anyone.

ISFJs tend to be private and a bit protective of themselves. As a result, it can take them a while to open up to someone new. This explains why most ISFJ friendships don’t start as random encounters on a wild night out but rather through comfortable and consistent contact – for example, at school or at work. ISFJ personalities appreciate the opportunity to deepen their connection with another person over time, gradually sharing more and more of themselves.

Getting along:

Deep down, most ISFJs long to be liked and accepted. This is a natural desire, and it helps explain why people with this personality type are known for being such thoughtful, reliable friends. ISFJ personalities care about what others think of them, so they strive to bring their best selves to all of their relationships, including their friendships.

ISFJs navigate friendships with a unique blend of warmth, support, and consistency. Their natural ability to connect on a personal level and truly understand others allows them to build strong, long-lasting bonds.

This trait tends to make ISFJs exceptional friends. If taken too far, however, it can lead them to fall into the trap of people-pleasing. Some personality types have no trouble expressing an unpopular opinion or posing an awkward question – but not ISFJs. These personalities are reluctant to rock the boat, whether that means asking a friend to pay back a loan or disagreeing with where everyone else wants to go for dinner.

In most cases, this behavior stems from a fear of being rejected. While most ISFJs are perfectly comfortable having a small, tight-knit circle of friends, they hate the idea of risking the disapproval of even one of those friends. The problem is that, over time, people-pleasing can cause these personalities to lose touch with their sense of self and their ability to make decisions on their own terms.

Seeking balance:

Few personality types can match ISFJs’ fervent desire to be there for their friends through thick and thin. Always ready to offer advice, help, and reassurance, these personalities take pride in the fact that people turn to them in times of need. In fact, ISFJs will even ignore their natural tendency to avoid confrontation for their closest friends, jumping to their defense when anyone calls their character into question or puts them in harm’s way. Showing up for their loved ones in any way that they can truly offers people with this personality type a sense of purpose in life.

ISFJ personalities appreciate their friends deeply, and they aren’t afraid to show it – but it may be difficult for them to ask for that same appreciation in return.

In return, ISFJs crave loyalty and respect – and, in an ideal world, a bit of recognition for all that they do. But even though many of these personalities crave validation and support from their friends, they tend to be too proud to ask for it, just as they may not be comfortable asking for the help that they need. Fortunately, with time, many ISFJs learn that anyone who takes advantage of their generous, altruistic nature isn’t a true friend.

An inspired bond:

People with the ISFJ personality type can become attached to their vision of how things “should” be. In the world of friendship, they may believe – consciously or not – that they should be completely selfless. But when they ease up on this expectation, balancing their friends’ needs with their own, they can bring the full magnitude of their gifts to their friendships. This helps ISFJs enjoy the sort of meaningful, enduring bonds that make life all the more worthwhile.

< Parenthood >

People with the ISFJ personality type (Defenders) make devoted and responsible parents who see parenthood as not just a role but a calling. ISFJs bring their innate sense of dedication, reliability, and consistency into their parenting style, aiming to provide a stable foundation to help their children grow up to be capable, successful, and happy.

But when it comes to parenthood, ISFJs aren’t just motivated by a sense of duty – they are also motivated by love, and the depth and power of this love can be nothing short of amazing. Many ISFJ personalities feel that parenting allows them to use their gifts of altruism, generosity, and patience as they work hard to guide a beautiful new soul into the world.

The road to independence:

Given that ISFJs value tradition and guidance, it’s no surprise that many of these personalities embrace clearly defined roles for parents and children. Rather than seeing themselves as their children’s peer or best friend, these parents view their role, and often rightly so, as that of a loving authority figure – someone who imparts wisdom and values, gently but firmly teaching their children the difference between right and wrong.

ISFJ parents dedicate themselves to ensuring that their children understand the importance of taking responsibility and doing the right thing.

It can be challenging for ISFJ parents when their children, in an effort to assert their independence, push back on this well-intended guidance and support. As part of their development, most children reach a point where they want to test boundaries, experiment with new ways of doing things, and make their own choices – and that sometimes involves going against their parents’ advice and values.

This may not be difficult for these personalities to manage in the early years, but it can become more of a struggle once their children reach adolescence and young adulthood – when the decision-making stakes become much higher. ISFJs value stability, and they want to make sure that their children are setting themselves up for the “right” kind of future – one that includes security as well as happiness. If they worry that their children aren’t putting themselves on track for this kind of future, ISFJ parents can become deeply unsettled or even somewhat controlling.

An abundance of love:

Fortunately, ISFJ personalities aren’t known for losing track of just how much they love their children. It’s true that parents with this personality type may sometimes be heavy-handed in their efforts to steer their children in what they perceive to be a good direction. But even if their children end up going a different way, that doesn’t mean that ISFJs will stop loving them or trying to help them find their path to happiness.

Even when struggling, ISFJ parents always accept their children as they are, providing a strong emotional foundation that their children can rely on.

The truth is that parenting is far from easy for any personality type – not if they’re doing it right. That said, ISFJs have the advantage of being not just caring but also thoughtful and responsible in how they administer that care. Often seen as ideal parents, people with this personality type are able to offer their children stability, security, and – most importantly – an abundance of love and support.

< Career Paths >

People with the ISFJ personality type (Defenders) approach their career paths with the same commitment, diligence, and patience that they display in other aspects of their lives. Because of this, they are often seen as the backbone of their workplace. ISFJs are generally very reliable, hardworking, and always ready to lend a hand to those who need it. They take pride in getting the job done and getting it done well, rarely cutting corners or trying to avoid a time-consuming task. This unshakable work ethic, combined with a genuine desire to be of service to others, makes ISFJ personalities invaluable in a range of careers.

Shining behind the scenes:

Few personality types can match ISFJs’ deep appreciation of what it means to play a supporting role. Rather than seeking out the spotlight for themselves, they genuinely enjoy helping and uplifting others. It’s no surprise, then, that ISFJ personalities tend to seek out workplaces that are collaborative and team oriented rather than competitive and high pressure.

With their natural humility, these personalities tend to feel especially fulfilled by careers that allow them to facilitate others’ growth, healing, and progress. ISFJs’ patience and ability to stay present in the moment enable them to be incredibly attuned to the needs of the people they are serving. Teaching is a prime example of a career that takes advantage of these important ISFJ strengths, as are speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, medicine, and social work.

People with the ISFJ personality type are motivated, consistent workers, rarely losing sight of the ways in which their daily tasks can benefit others.

No matter what it says on their business card, many people with this personality type approach their work with an eye toward helping others in practical ways. ISFJs tend to excel at customer service, with a particular gift for listening to concerns, calming frustrations, and seeing things through to a clear resolution. The people skills that ISFJs call upon can also translate well into roles in human resources, IT support, hospitality, retail, office administration, library sciences, and pretty much any job that involves fielding and helping answer people’s questions.

Never missing a beat:

Some personality types lose steam in the face of a tedious, multifaceted task, but not ISFJs. Their attentiveness to detail is among their greatest strengths. Consequently, detail-oriented fields like law, accounting, data analysis, and research can be right up ISFJs’ alley. What’s especially notable, however, is how they stay connected to the human dimension of this work, rarely forgetting the impact that their spreadsheets and memos might have on real people.

Despite their many gifts, these personalities are unlikely to demand recognition or ask for promotions, preferring to let their work speak for itself. Given their respect for tradition and security, ISFJs generally have no problem with the idea of moving along in a structured hierarchy, trusting that their bosses will promote them if and when the time is right. But even the most patient person can become frustrated if their contributions seem to be continually overlooked. When ISFJ personalities finally do take the leap into management roles, they often find that their strengths are extremely well suited to building a cohesive, productive, and effective team.

Meticulous and socially oriented, ISFJs have a talent for remembering things about other people – a talent that can help them connect with a customer, bolster a faltering business relationship, or simply brighten a colleague’s day.

People with the ISFJ personality type may find it hard to part ways with employers due to their innate loyalty, even if things just aren’t working out. But as long as they put themselves in a work environment that appreciates and takes full advantage of their many strengths and talents, ISFJs can use their determination, precision, and altruistic energy to do even more good in this world.

< Workplace Habits >

Wherever they may be on the career ladder, people with the ISFJ personality type (Defenders) share the goal of putting good service and dedication above all else. ISFJ personalities can always be relied on for their kindness and ability to listen carefully to concerns – and to find ways to resolve them. Win-win situations are their bread and butter, and no other personality type can quite match the satisfaction that they take in finding practical, clear resolutions to day-to-day challenges.

ISFJ subordinates:

As employees, ISFJs exemplify the strength of humble dedication. Relied on and respected for their patience and commitment, people with this personality type really only need one reward for their work: the satisfaction of knowing that they’ve helped someone. And if that person expresses a bit of gratitude, so much the better.

At times, though, ISFJs’ radical humility can hold them back. They tend to be unwilling to play up their achievements, often for fear of creating unnecessary friction or appearing to be a braggart. Unfortunately, this can make it all too easy for their bosses to overlook them when opportunities for promotion come along.

ISFJs’ humility is a strength, but people with this personality type may struggle to get new opportunities unless they learn to take at least some credit for all the work that they do.

ISFJs’ loyalty and dependability often makes them invaluable to their bosses. In fact, they are the most likely personality type to report getting along with their boss. This might be in part because, in general, these personalities can be trusted to carry out their tasks precisely and without complaint. But it is also because they are such thoughtful and warm individuals who are willing to put in the effort to get to know people.

That being said, ISFJ personalities’ aversion to rocking the boat may make it difficult for them to correct or disagree with their bosses or coworkers, even when it’s necessary to do so in order to avoid wasted time and energy. Fortunately, with time, many ISFJs learn to express their opinions (and corrections) in a gentle, nonjudgmental way.

ISFJ colleagues:

For an ISFJ, an ideal work environment is founded on working together with colleagues rather than competing against them, with everyone collaborating toward the shared goal of getting the job done. Close-knit and supportive teams are what ISFJ personalities enjoy most, allowing them to express their altruistic spirit among people who rely on their dedication and warmth.

ISFJs build relationships with their colleagues naturally – a skill that they use to keep things running smoothly.

These strengths can become drawbacks, however, as ISFJ personalities’ aversion to conflict and their desire to help can be abused by less scrupulous colleagues. Instead of only asking for help when they need it, some colleagues may heap extra work on their desks, knowing that ISFJ colleagues have a hard time saying no. Unless they learn to set boundaries, people with this personality type can feel overburdened, stressed, and taken advantage of.

ISFJ managers:

ISFJs don’t always raise their hands for leadership opportunities. In fact, they tend to prefer taking orders over giving orders, but their interpersonal skills and work ethic actually lend themselves quite well to managing others. ISFJ managers tend to be warm and approachable, always willing to answer questions and always ready to step up and help. Having no real desire to exercise power over others, ISFJ personalities prefer to work alongside their subordinates, keeping things running smoothly and minimizing conflict.

ISFJs bring a team spirit to their work, and they aim to impart this spirit to the people they manage.

ISFJ managers care about efficiency and effectiveness, but not at the expense of maintaining a positive relationship with their subordinates. Change can be a challenge for bosses with this personality type – including the none-too-pleasant change of firing someone who isn’t working out. At times, ISFJ managers may sink a bit too much of their energy into an underperforming employee – but they’d much rather make this mistake than the mistake of giving up on someone who just needed another chance.

< Conclusion >

ISFJs’ gifts include generosity, patience, and determination – but they aren’t people who just want to hear what makes them great. These personalities are committed to actually using these gifts to become better people and be of service to others.

Woah anon. This must’ve taken a lotta hard work to copy & paste out, and I absolutely loved reading it. I’m gonna slap that in my “for later” or “favorite” tags cause im gonna read this over and over. And over and over.

It seems to fit them all pretty well with everything that’s been discussed so far. And also that last bit about ISFJs near the end—“they’d much rather make this mistake than the mistake of giving up on someone who just needed another chance”—really made me think of Color, particularly in interactions with killer. I’ll probably add on with reblogs to this sometime when I get around to re-reading it. I love this thank you 🙏

And tbh id love to hear whatever else type of psychology you have to say about any of the utmv characters if you ever wanna share.

"A Wonderful Idea!" AU

Where every SOUL trait has a flower symbolised by it

Where every emotion has flowers related to it

A timeline- not AU, but AT, where Flowey... decides to have a little fun with Sans. Test him- see how far he can go before something breaks

No, A Wonderful Idea doesn't have a Player when he eventually just... crawls his way to his feet again

There's only so much people can take

But the thing is

Sans doesn't realise how bad he's getting. He doesn't realise that this LV is affecting him the way it is- absent parts lingering even when Flowey RESETs

He doesn't realise that he's getting the equivalent of Monster Determination

... and he doesn't realise just how far gone he is.

( I'm thinking about how he'd interact with other Sanses )

"i'm- i'm still normal, right? still-" His grin twitches, LV burning through his marrow like an ice-cold fire as he reaches towards Papyrus. The flinch doesn't go unnoticed- nor the look of horror and brief flash of fear that ingrains itself into Sans' mind, "i'm still me, right?"

And in a quiet voice filled with an earthquake of tremours, "I am not sure, Sans."

[what-have-i-unleashed]

alone on a friday night? me too!

(early) birthday gift to @freakstertoff. this thing is freaky so i'm tagging this account of yours lol

note: i don't know much about the epic sanses so treat this as ooc as far as i'm concerned.

(cw: voyeurism/exhibitionism, some vague smut description)

"hey, you're epic, right?"

epic turns his head and sees another skeleton with strange markings down his eyes. his white eyelights have a light orange hue to them. both of them are standing in the only administration building left standing in the omega timeline right now. with a huge influx of refugees from a multitude of universes, all the workers here are frantically accommodating everyone and answering every question. epic pities them - he should feel lucky to not have a service job in his life up til now.

"who's asking?" epic asks his sudden inquirer, his hands in his pockets, as his coat billows in the invisible wind. the other skeleton looks at him with a twitch in his eye ridge.

"call me delta," he says. "seems like they're putting us in the same temp house."

"oh, you're my roommate, bruh!" epic exclaims. "wait, there should be another with us, right?"

"he's with me already," delta says, leading epic out of the crowded area. "his name's color by the way."

and epic can understand why he's named that. the dude is positively flashing rainbow colors, a real epilepsy warning. not to mention the crack he has on the side of his skull where fires are coming out constantly. so he's a fire hazard too - cool!

"i know, he's fucking awesome," delta grins, gesturing at color.

"ayo, bruh, mind the color-ful language, would ya?" epic says with a smile on his face, as delta turns to him and color snickers behind his hand. it is a nice sound, epic absentmindedly notes.

"... oh stars, you're also into puns," delta groans. and epic laughs.

"whaaaat? a sans not into jokes? you're a riot, a true rebel, bruh," he puts his arm over delta's shoulders, smiling wide. "we'll get along just fine."

epic was told by a harried service worker that it should take about two months before a permanent house can be provided to him. so for now he has to share a temporary flat with delta and color for the time being. the flat is smaller than he expected, with one modest kitchen and a living room with a small dining area. there's only one bedroom as well as one bathroom. at least there are bunk beds with quite some space in the bedroom. epic claims the top bed, while color and delta takes the bottom beds. fair enough - color is an old man, and delta seems to be the kind to move around in his sleep. still, it's a bit sad not to have anyone on the other top bed where he can throw some fun stuff at.

it's been a week since the trio moved into the flat. and all in all, everything is fine. epic volunteers to work at the refugee center himself, delta works at some construction site, and color is socializing with other people for now. they all have their own schedules, but still living together requires them to interact a lot and divide the chores. epic has to say, delta and color are best roommates he's had, but considering he never had a roommate before, that's not saying much.

until one faithful night it is. epic wakes up in the middle of the night, throat parched and skull throbbing from the frequent nightmares. checking his phone, it is about 3 am. he looks down from his bed. the other two are silent - they must still be asleep. quietly, he shortcuts to the hallway, then down the stairs.

the lights illuminating from the kitchen make him pause. okay... so one of them is also up at this hour. silently, he walks up to the kitchen, and pauses.

he can see delta's back facing him, thankfully blocking most of what is happening because he can hear the muffled sounds from where he's standing, and they're not exactly family-friendly. he can see color's flames peeking out behind delta's form, as color seems to be sitting on the kitchen island and enthusiastically responding to whatever delta is doing. oh stars, not the poor countertop... epic literally uses it every single day.

epic knows he should just slink away and pretend to not have seen anything. but his sleep-deprived mind forces his mouth to blurt out.

"yo my bruh-migos, what in the freaky flip."

with a yelp, delta stumbles back away from color as he swivels his head around to see epic's sleepy stunned face. delta's face is bright orange, and epic tries very hard not to stare at his wet ecto-tongue still hanging out.

"bruh, i cook there..." epic finds himself say.

"oh my void, i'm so sorry!" he hears color exclaim apologetically as the stout skeleton moves off the countertop. "we just didn't want to wake you up, since you were sleeping and all."

"... how many times did you guys, uh, rendezvous on that countertop?"

"we didn't- i mean, we-" delta stammers. it's the first time epic sees him so flustered, which was oddly funny and cute at the same time. thankfully for the blubbering orange mess, color swoops in smoothly to save him from further embarrassment.

"we haven't fooled around in the kitchen, if that's what you meant. we usually just meet up in the inns, actually."

"yeah," delta scratches the behind of his neck. "don't want to make it feel awkward in here or anything…"

epic looks at both of them for a while, his mind trying to fire off some sensible thoughts but unable to. there's an odd sensation pulsing in his rib that he doesn't have the time or clarity to examine just yet. in the end, his mouth utters, "it's fine if you guys wanna do it in the flat."

"what?" "are you sure?" delta and color ask simultaneously. stars, they're such a cute couple, aren't they?

"yeah, i don't mind," epic shrugs. "just don't do it in the kitchen. fire hazard and stuff. also, not on my spot on the sofa either, my bruhs." he adds a wink at the end, hoping to convey how unbothered he is by all of these constant punches of surprise.

delta and color exchange an indecipherable look before color says to epic, "if you're sure…"

epic doesn't know why color is talking as if he doesn't believe epic. it's quite an offense to his chill guy persona honestly. he's totally cool about his two friends-slash-roommates hooking up! well, maybe if he can show them how cool with it he is, then maybe…

the next few days are definitely awkward. epic has a nagging feeling that delta is avoiding him as much as possible, which is to say not much considering they share the same flat and also the bedroom to say the least. the usually brash skeleton is unusually reserved around epic, a blushing mess whenever epic addresses him. at least color still acts normal around epic, but the fact that he doesn't seem to be affectionate towards delta in front of epic lately makes the ex-scientist feel even worse.

so, one evening, as he puts down the extravagant meal he has made with his blood, sweat, and tears - from cutting the stars-damned onions - he speaks directly to both his roommates sitting across from him.

"look, i'm not homophobic."

delta chokes on the mouthful of rice he has inhaled, as color pats on his back. the colorful skeleton turns an incredulous look at epic.

"uh, what brought this up?"

"just because i like the opposite sex doesn't mean i don't vibe with the lgbt, bruh," epic huffs. "i'm totes fine with gay people."

"... okay...?" color raises an eye ridge at him, hand still on delta's back. and epic can't help but feel the side of his head burn hotly.

"look, all i'm saying is: i'm not bothered by you guys dating!" he bursts out, finally. "it's fine that my two friends are in relationship and we live together! i wouldn't mind if you guys start getting lovey-dovey with each other! i wouldn't even mind if you guys have sex in the same house," yeah, that sounds good enough as an endorsement, right? "or heck, even in front of me!" wait, what.

"what," delta echoes the last thought in epic's head. color is dead quiet. all three of them fall into an awkward silence.

"epic..." color tentatively reaches across the table, one hand holding epic's cold glove. "are you saying what i think you're saying?"

"... what am i even saying," epic breathes out, his mind in a spiral just like the electric fan above them.

color and delta exchange a meaningful look. ah, the perks of lovers and their inexplicable telepathic communication. they're just so cute together, aren't they?

"do you want to watch us have sex, epic?" color asks, as blunt as a hammer. epic can't help the blush spreading across his face, abnormally flustered by something he should be quite used to joking around about. the multi-colored skeleton continues, paying no heed to epic's turbulent thoughts. "because you're always welcome to do that."

"what he said," delta chimes in, looking intensely into epic's eyes with his orange-hued eyelights. epic finds himself unable to even lie with those pretty lights directed at him. his mouth opens, and he knows at that moment what he's going to say, wishing he won't make a mistake.

what happens next is a blur as far as epic is concerned. all he remembers is all three of them moving to the cramped living room, their meal halfway forgotten on the dining table. he remembers being treated to the sight of his two closest friends deep inside each other's mouth, delta watching him stupidly gape like a fish with a smug smile in his eyes. he remembers automatically blurting out how they needed to use a condom when the pair of lovebirds collapsed on the sofa and color gigglingly asking him for one, one hand outstretched like a particularly enticing olive branch. he remembers the breathless sounds from both of them, inviting him to come closer to see. he remembers stammering like an idiot, staying in his watching spot, a warm sensation buzzing in his bones as he watched the couple indulge in each other. he remembers the flushed and satisfied expression on color's face in the throes of pleasure, the grunted sounds coming from delta as he reaches completion. he remembers feeling all lightheaded himself, his palms sweaty as if he was the one having run a marathon and not the pair in front of him, who are now cuddling each other on the sofa, bundled under a blanket that epic has hastily brought to them after they were done.

"how was that?" color asks epic, startling the normally laid-back memelord. delta has fallen asleep next to color, his face so peaceful epic couldn't take his eyes off of it. color's voice is warm like the sun, and his flames are lazily dancing, shooting little sparks in the air like colorful fireflies.

epic finds himself speechless for once. he feels a sudden need to scoot closer to color and delta, but resolutely stays in his armchair facing the sofa. stars, what would he be to interfere in his friends' already amazing love life?

"... good, i think," he mumbles at last. "thanks for... all this." he gestures towards color and delta. color chuckles.

"glad you like it," the colorful skeleton says, tilting his head to the side. epic averts his eyesight, looking at a spot above the naked monster. "you can watch us next time too, if you want."

"oh yeah?" epic asks, a choked laugh escaping his throat. "and what does delta think about it?"

"he won't mind," color replies automatically. in a softer tone, he continues. "we're not dating, you know?"

epic jumps at the unexpected statement. "you're not?"

"hmmm not sure," color traces a hand over delta's skull. the sleeping skeleton scrunches his nose, cutely. "we've never talked about it. right now, it's just this, sex that is. so," color looks at epic, "don't feel bad, okay?"

epic swallows, not knowing what to say. color has always been the most perceptive of them after all. he leans back in his armchair, watching color fall into sleep next to delta. epic doesn't sleep himself, knowing another nightmare will just wait for him as always - not like it matters anyway.

he stays awake, guarding the two souls in his vicinity - the two most important souls in his current life. the silence pricks at him, but he perseveres, like he usually does.

Sans= „Yeah, but maybe next time i‘ll actually listen.“

===================================

Frisk= „Come on, admit it! You enjoy living!“

F= „Please, come to the party... You can talk to other sanses, exchange experiences!“

[alyimoss]

ok but yknow what this idea makes me want actually?

someone whos able to put a stop to all that.

like- think abt it. in the grand scheme of things, having an outcode who can, say, delete certain memories, so like if someones au is getting destroyed and theres a whole conflict right in front of them between the stars and the bads (lmao), this third party can swoop in after all is said and done and just- purge all knowledge of that from the residents of the au.

is it more boring than imagining these poor asshole trying to do their job and getting swarmed by fans? (especially the bad sanses bc the though of seeing a serial killer and going "omg my pookie" and going up to and bothering them like they *wont* kill your dumb ass is hilarious?) yeah, sure. but imo it makes sense??

like it would probably be someone with the same kinda goal as ink - keep the aus on script. for a lot of them, knowing about and interacting with the rest of the multiverse knocks them wildly off-script. so this entity goes around erasing memories to make things more "as theyre supposed to be".

i think nightmare would initially have problems with someone like this, considering the lack of memory would likely get rid of whatever negativity they felt, too. but after being swarmed by fans or wannabe vigilantes or whatever and realizing just how much that hinders his job, he just sees it as a necessary sacrifice. not like this isnt a battle he fights constantly, anyway.

and it could maybe cause problems/drama is residents of different aus get to know each other and build a relationship of some sort, only for them to completely forget each other, or for just one party to forget while the other still remembers. theres probably conflicts with this entity and others about whether what theyre doing is ethical or not, whether its better to erase these memories because they mess with the script, or to leave them because, ultimately, our memories are what makes us... us. the thought of losing that is terrifying to many.

the stars put up with them bc they do end up helping them out, they lessen the damage caused by these multiversal conflicts and help things get back to normal, and i think ink specifically would be chill w them bc their goals are so similar.

idk i think this is an entity that should exist in the multiverse. i think thatd be fun.

i think that entity should be a papyrus because i am entirely unbiased

do you think that the bad sanses and the star sanses have whole ass fanclubs that follow their every move

the fanclubs are made up OCs and simps and self inserts and people who are just obsessed with these characters. they cannot leave their respective aus because the fans will find them. both teams regularly have stalker fans breaking into their homes. there are whole communities on the undernet dedicated to the teams. as soon as they are spotted in the multiverse update accounts tweet about whete they were spotted. it's like theyre multiversal celebrities except it's a protectors of aus, 2 emotion guardians who have beef, and a few random mortals that these immortal people dragged along

for the star sanses its a lot more freaky and scary. swap had to get ink to find a way to keep his underswap protected from all the people who would swarm the au and bother him in his day to day life. dream struggles with being able to help the people in danger who actually need help because every tine he enters an au people always swarm him for his autograph and photos (he has it the WORST with his positive aura making more people like him too 😭😭😭) ink tries to do this job but then he just gets distracted by the swarm of people gawking at the fact that OMG the protector of aus is here holy crap!!! and then he has to find a clever way to escape the swarm. it's really not fun for the stars

the bad sanses on the other hand have come up with a way to (kinda) avoid the fans. nightmare sends out the gang to go on missions with costumes and secret identities and stuff. 50% of the time missions fail because the costums get ruined or the fans are just smart enough to figure out the bad sanses are here 💀 killer started off enjoying all the attention but after a good month of thr fans swarming him it started to piss him off. dust tries to teleport away every time a fan spots him but thenANOTHER fan sees him. it's like a sick game of hide and seek for him. horror immediately gives up on the mission as soon as he's spotted because theres no point. nightmare has given all of them free reign to kill thhose stupid fans (even if it gets rid of negativity he CANT PROGRESS WITH HIS EVIL PLANS WHEN THERES LITERAL WALLS OF PEOPLE STOPPING HIM)

it's misery for all of them

[missholoska]

Do you have some ideas for Underswap MH in the Omega Timelime?

I'm gonna copy-paste this part from Underswap MH's about page:

- I don’t have any intention of making Underswap MH interact with the Undertale Multiverse or other AUs; how the cast interacts with each other in their own universe is a lot more interesting to me than ‘what if they met 500 AU skeletons’.

I'll admit that I'm not very familiar with the Omega Timeline specifically (I know it's Core Frisk's thing and that's.. basically all I know gjsdfjk) but from skimming its wiki page, the main purpose of it is basically a place for AU characters to interact, right? which still falls under the above point.

maybe this sounds contradictory as someone who often draws an Undertale AU, but I'm honestly not interested in the Undertale multiverse as a concept. it's not like it's Bad™ in any way nor do I begrudge anyone for enjoying it, but the premise of prioritising cross-AU interactions and stories over developing those individual AUs and their in-universe characters and relationships (or sometimes over anything even vaguely connected to the original game) is the exact opposite of what I enjoy, so I just don't engage with, seek out or create that content.

that's also why I'm super hesitant to entertain ideas of Underswap MH interacting with other AUs, even as a one-off for fun. it would honestly be a nightmare to me if Underswap MH ever became popular purely to add Neptune to the pile of Big Name Sanses, while everything else I put so many hours of thought and love into gets left behind to serve as nothing more than his backstory. I've seen that happen to several AUs over the years, and I don't want my project's only value to be yet another face for all the other AUs to meet.

apologies for rambling so much but I really want to be clear that multiverse interactions are not a thing I am interested in doing, nor do I want my content to become part of that. nothing against the Omega Timeline specifically or you for asking though :>

Personal project masterpost

Alright so I have realized all my stuff is too much for the pinned post but I can make this masterpost and update it periodically. This will include: links to intro posts/refs, links to doodles/additional official art, and the given hashtags for each individual thing. Fan art/asks with art and most text posts will not be linked here, but you can search my blog/tumblr by the official tags in order to find stuff. Note: for additional small things such as fun facts about characters not on their official refs, check out the “#oc factoids and asks” tag and search with the tag of the given character/project. Yeah sorry you have to do some digging yourself, I can’t update this post every single time I make something new. Anyway let’s just jump into it. Last updated: 8/6/24 (d/m/y)

Because things are often misinterpreted with this AU, it has its own clarifications tag. “#alt utmv clarifications” is the tag, if you’re ever wondering something about it then check there. If one of those posts doesn’t have an answer, just feel free to ask me yourself.

Robo-Ink aka Oil (#robo ink, #oil!ink sans, #robot!ink sans)

Based entirely on the simple (initially joke) proposition: “alternate multiverse where everything is the same except Ink is a robot”. Oil hails from a whole separate multiverse just like the usual one, accept for him being the way he is. Slightly different in personality, but you only really realize it when putting the two characters in the same interaction. Either way, he is my pride and joy and a great project so far.

Faeverse (#faeverse, #faeverse au) [please read info]

Ok so Faeverse isn’t actually entirely my creation, it’s a shared project with me and @dinosaurzzz. I’m just the lead character designer and artist, I don’t own it. Faeverse is a retelling of Underverse with a twist of Xvials and fae folklore from various cultures. Some things are critically changed in this au, so I’m begging you, if you’re going to make fan content, to read ALL OF THE INFO we have about it, including the masterpost about a core character Dino made which is linked in the below ref sheet.

Omega!Cross (#omega!cross) [on hiatus]

Omega!Cross is a half-wolf version of Cross who was inspired by the works of some of the other creators in my general orbit, for posts featuring him interacting with the other 6 wolf!Cross’s, check out #wolf!cross gang shenanigans!

this project is currently on standby due to the stress I get when creating it. There may be the occasional thing here and there but for now don’t expect any big additions to Omega’s story. It’s a mess right now.

R34L17Y_D3C4Y (pronounced “reality decay”), or R_D for short, is an Undertale alternate multiverse where all outcodes, multiversal beings, or beings that have been separated from their original universes gain weirdcore designs and qualities. I started it over on my Reddit but am moving it here.

LOVE. though it kinda had a negative effect on me because i had roleplayed as susie online a bunch and that ruined my personality.. but i guess it also helped me find who i really am, so thats good (it was to the point i was sure i washer and i would get upset if someone dressed as her or roleplayed as her on roblox- and before this i had something similar with chara where i thought i was them and then this person i knew said he was sands and thought that would make me like like him. like bro. you cough in my face 24/7 i aint gonna have a crush on you.)

[kalitheinksimp]

More about Kali (and some *new characters)

*These characters aren't new at all in terms of existence, and have existed for... quite some time.

So, this is my character Kali!

Art credit: myself

She is my self insert character I use to interact with my faves, and represents me.

But do I have a story about her? Yes, actually-

In the original story i made years ago (which is now lost to time) she was a character who, like Ink and Error, did not have an original au and existed in doodlesphere somewhere (how did she get there? I think she was part of an au originally but.. don't remember what happened but she's there now-)

Which is where aus come in. There are a few alternative stories I've made with her.

The simple one, where she's still in the doodlesphere and hangs out with Ink. They have that "best friends or couples? Can't tell cause of how close they are" sort of relationship

The harem one (which I've written a whole fic about, still continuing but is private) about a few of au sanses having feelings for her with a pinch of yandere

The family one, which I will explain here-

As it might be obvious by the name, i have made a family with the skeleton.

What family? Well-

Meet Amaryllis!

^art with watermark to not be stolen/reposted

She was the first daughter that existed since early 2021, but originally didn't have a name. She wasn't even actually ment to be a long lasting character, but now she definitely is.

About her:

Other than what is already on the sheet, here's some points-

She is first born child (more on that later)

She can come off as creepy to people she meets, because she tends to stare at anything new to her.

She also spaces out and stares at the ground when other's attention is not on her.

Rarely talks to new people, as she doesn't know how to socialize yet. She however does talk like any other 5 year old with her family.

She has a liking for fluffy things.

She is more similar to her mother.

And Hibiscus!-

^still watermarked

She's the one who's pretty recent, and was made in October 2022

About her-

Despite being made after Amary, she's the older sister.

She's much more mature for her age, and knows it.

She has the main goal of wanting to protect her family, and she's willing to do anything to keep them safe.

She takes fighting lessons from her father, and has learnt bone magic, and can even summon her own gaster blaster.

She has super strength! The effects of which depend on her determination.

She loves to play with Amary, and is always by her side.

That's pretty much it about them enough to get an idea on what they're like...i think.

So, how were they made?

Irl wise: Amary was made when I wanted to try something out, but the character i already had were not suitable for trying it. So i somehow decided to make her on the spot!

Hibiscus was made after i thought that living alone in the doodlesphere with perents with little consistent friends would make Amary feel alone, so she was the result. I'm still surprised at how everything came together so nicely!

Cannon story wise: now, what fun would it be if you were married to a multi-universal god person with the ability to make things real by drawing them, and still made children the traditional way?

Basically, Amary and Hibi were brought into the world by Kali drawing their appearance and giving them personality, and Ink bring them to life!

That's all for now, until next time i simp!(which won't be long)

Og Ink sans belongs to @comyet

Every other character mentioned belongs to me!

[haveyouseenthisskeleton]

NEW - Interactions between skeletons

Hello, hello !

I'm very happy to announce that I'm now opening interactions asks between all skeletons. From now on, our skelly friends can answering asks about their relationships with the other skeletons, and even fun things they can do together.

And to celebrate this, I created a map so you can visualise more easily who will more likely talk to who.

As you can see, there is still plenty of free space on the map, mainly because I still have some new skeletons to introduce to you :3

TLet's have a tour.

THE FRIENDLY ZONE

It's a very animated neighbourhood. You can find here the Undertale, Underswap, Outertale, Horrortale, Horrorfell and Farmtale brothers.

The Horror Bros and the Farmtale Bros are sharing their lands and animals to be more efficient. However, they still have some specialities. Farmtale boys prefers horses and fields, while the Horror Bros are clearly more interested with their teaching farm that children can enjoy.

Oak and Willow invited Copper and Chief to leave with them because their history is closer than theirs. Chief is still a bit wary, but Copper loves this new life.

The three pacifist pairs of brothers are enjoying life, next to a lake where Papyrus, Blue and Sun loves to exercise. They would love to open a training sport course there. The two other Sanses and Honey are more interisting in pranking each other. All of them are getting along and help at the farms in their free time.

THE WEIRDO ZONE

It's just Dune for now. He's too shy to go and meet his neighbours yet.

However he's stealing in their house during the night.

He's also in great territory war with Doomfanger. They hate each other. Dune would love to kill that damn cat but he's too scared of Edge. So they're just hissing at each other and fighting in the woods.

When Dune wants to know more someone, he kidnaps them and just sit with them in his house, looking at them blankly.

No one never wants to go there.

THE DRAMA QUEENS ZONE

You can find here the Dancetale and Dancefell brothers, and also Delta.

If Rambo and Salsa are living together, Rumba and Tango are living in their own house... Just because they saw Red and Edge do the same thing and they didn't wanted to be left out.

Tango is fricking jealous of Edge and hates how he is better in everything he's doing. He even adopted a cat just to do like him.

Delta tried to be adopted by Rambo because he looks too much like his Sans and Rambo is freaking out about it because he doesn't want to hurt him but he doesn't want to leave him alone either? Salsa is also not happy about this since Delta is trying to always make sure he is away.

Rumba has problems with his backdoor and Dune is always inviting himself to his home. He made the mistake to try to talk to him once and now Dune is kidnapping him every two or three days to spend time with him. Rumba tried to talk about this to his brother but no one is believing him. Rumba is starting to think he is crazy and that Dune is an invention of his head.

THE FELL ZONE

Only the biggest houses for the Underfell and Swapfell brothers. Everyone has his own house.

However, they are all suspicious of each other. Nox watches Red, Red watches Rus, Rus watches Edge and Edge watches Nox. It's the circle of life.

Nox and Edge are definitely getting along, even if they're fighting over who's cooking or who's gardening the best. The both loves and hates this.

All houses are actually Doomfanger's houses. She is living in all of them at once. She has more affinities with Edge (of course), but also Rus for some reason. She still hates Red though. She's curious about Nox but Nox doesn't want her inside. So obviously, she is always inside Nox's house just to piss him off.

Red and Rus are playing online for the honor of their brothers. They love each other online, but they can't match in real life.

THE BASTARDS ZONE

At first, there was only Error here. Then Ink built his house literally two inches next to his. Just because he could.

Error hates Ink. He just wants fucking peace and nice nature sounds. But Ink thinks he's just rejecting his friendship and keeps coming with stupid gifts he doesn't need.

They have a AU portal in the garden. Error wants to destroy it, but every time he's managing to, that shit is opening again.

Ink can mess with the world settings. That's how he got the farm's brothers pets. So sometimes, he just spawns randomly 500 chickens in Error's house to see how he's going to react.

THE MAFIA QUARTERS

The Mafiatale and Mafiafell bros are living here. At first they were rivals, but they actually befriended each other pretty quickly.

Since they don't have anything to kill, they mostly assuring the town safety.

Fang and Demon are best friends. They spend all their free time together taking care of Fang's dogs. Torpedo is more solitary. Creeper prefers Delta' company.

Since Torpedo is a maniac, Demon and Creeper love to mess with his guns, moving them during the night. You can hear Torperdo screaming at the other end of the town.

[a5tr0n0m1cal]

I wonder what if Ink S/O comes from real world and can't go back so S/O stay here with ink for a while. While S/O stays here and friends with everyone in there and draw with ink when they have free time UwU after a while S/O learns they can do anything bc they come from real world and its just cost their energy for them so they create a lot of things with ink but S/O know ink doesn't have a soul so they create a soul for ink but S/O going to die bc they lost so much energy what will ink do it

(I'm so evil ejsjsj have a good day UwU)

Lucky for you, I was cravin’ some angst today.

Cut off because this is kinda lengthy.

(Tw: S/o dies in this)

Meeting:

-He was quite surprised to say the least when you poofed in front of him.

-Seems you’re surprised too....

-Are you ok?

-The fact that you seemed to recognize him didn’t surprise him at all. His resemblance to the numerous sanses does that.

-Were you part of a new au? Just created and dropped into existence?

-He helps you up and asks you exactly that.

-You blink at your surroundings and then stare at him for a second.

-Was there something on his face? What’s the matter? Is it the ink splat?

-When you explain that he’s a fictional character in your world he’s a little shocked.

-How intriguing.

-He scans all the multiverses he has a current eye on. None seem to match what you’re talking about.

-You and him can look around for a way back to your universe if you want! He’s quite curious to see it!

-After some time of traveling through multiple aus, he’s lost steam.

-It seems he can’t help you find your way home after all.

-You’re understandably quite upset by this as well.

-Your life as you knew it is no longer accessible to you.

-Ink is quick to comfort you, eyes changing shapes as he excitedly grabs your shoulder, asking if you would want to stay here in his doodle sphere with him.

After You’ve stayed for a while:

-It had been a while now, and you were actually pretty close with ink.

-It’s one thing to like a fictional character.

-It’s another to actually know, interact with, and feel the character.

-He was fun. You both joked around a lot together.

-The fact that you understood almost everything about him made him just trust you more.

-He should find it disconcerting but he just trusts you.

-He’s realized how close he’s grown to you, but hasn’t said anything.

-He’s noticed how you look at him.

-He doesn’t really...have feelings.

-He doesn’t want you to have to put up with him and his psudo feelings.

-That doesn’t mean he hasn’t felt the rising feelings of genuine attraction and happiness when spending time with you.

-You were just so unique, unlike anything in the whole multiverse!

-You didn’t even have a little heart soul pop out when in battle!

-You explained to him souls didn’t work like that where you were from and he was so floored.

-You’re so amazing!

-You seemed slightly embarrassed. 

-What’s wrong? Did he offend you?

-You tell him that he had heart eyes.

-oh...whoops?

-Does this mean you’re a couple now? He’s not sure.

Finding Out About your Powers:

-It had happened when you were trying to explain to him what something was by drawing it. 

-He just didn’t understand.

-You had become a bit frustrated and slammed you hand down on the paper and it suddenly poofed into existence in front of you two. 

-You both paused, staring at the object for a second before looking at each other. 

-WHAAAAT?!?!?!?!

-He’s shaking your shoulders excitedly and his eyes are rapidly changing shape with every blink. 

-It never occurred to him that you would have the same abilities as the artists and creators of aus! Of course! He works with them! How could he not have thought about this?!!!!

-He’s rapidly asking you to try and create various different things!

-This is amazing! S/O! You’re amazing!

-He’ll have to try and find a way to keep Error from knowing about you. 

-He wants you to be safe.

-After a few more creations he notices you start to become faint.

-He quickly travels to a random au and grabs some food for you.

-Maybe you shouldn’t push your limits too much.....

When You Pass Away Trying to Make him a Soul Heart:

-You had told him this idea before.

-He had to stop and think for a second. 

-No, S/o. He’s sure he’s fine as he is now.

-He would be lying if he said he hadn’t thought about it though.

-He thought you had both agreed upon this.

-So when he enters his doodle sphere after coming back from another au, he’s shocked to find you standing there, paper in hand, a small white heart drawn on it.

-S/o what are you doing?!?!?!

-He’s scrambling to get to you when you activate your power.

-The sheer force flings him back several feet.

-Every color of the rainbow flashes before blending into a bright white light.

-It takes him a second to focus his vision.

-There is was.

-A small glowing white heart bobbing above your fallen form.

-He surges forward, grabbing you and lifting you up, completely ignoring the heart.

-S/o? 

-S/o!

-You are no longer breathing.

-In fact its as if all color has been drained from you.

-As if you were a photo and someone lowered the saturation to dull tones.

-Once it clicks in his mind he pulls back from your limp body as if it burned him.

-S/o....what have you done?! 

-YOU BOTH AGREED THAT YOU WOULDNT DO THIS!!!

-He has half a mind to destroy the heart, the very thing that took you away from him, until the tip of his phalages touch it.

-An overwealming warmth and feeling of love envelops him.

-Tears pour from his sockets as he drops to his knees, memories of you both rapidly flashing from his mind.

-It becomes too painful for him and he lets go of the soul.

-He carefully puts it in a vial, strapping it safely onto his belt with the rest of his paint vials.

-His paint would have been enough, S/o.

-His paint would have been enough....

-He takes your body and buries it in your favorite au, then drinks whatever paint combination it takes to take away the feelings of loss and despair.

-He moves on afterwords. 

-He never touches the soul heart you made, but he keeps it. 

-His only link to you.

[pokegalla]

So how do I interact with everyone in my stories?

With the star sanses, it’s pretty cool. Manners and kindness. They are really sweet though Ink can be a jerk with his pranks.

With the Unity? So. Much. Fun. I might not talk much but I might join in for a meme or joke. And end it with comfy chit chats with coffee, snacks, thanks to Ccino? So nice….

The other Lisas are kinda like family? Yes it’s odd but most of them get along….

Oh but the bad sanses? VIDEO GAMES, ANIME, MEMES, MESSING WITH EACH OTHER WITH PRANKS AND JOKES. These guys are my people….chaotic and fun. Also have each other’s backs.

My team (if not with bad sanses) will be with Darkrai, Bunny, and Sylvia. How they will appear will be within the story. I’m so tempted to write it but I feel like this would be more fitting as an ending book to the series. Yeah the story is gonna be very important but no matter what, the stories before must be created first. (Though I might not write a FULL story for Eliza and Angel….maybe a really short story. But Starlet and Talia is a must. Don’t worry though! They will be in the spotlight soon…)

Also I think these series and AU should be called UnityTale!!! It’s gonna be my special tag as well!!! I know I have it in my bio but eh just wanted to make it a tag as well.

[the-river-person]

Mistral Sans is now Community Shared

To echo the words of @undertaleauoc, Mistral is "open for use" without the need to request permission from the creator (me) though I’d like to be tagged and credited still. Mistral Formerly named: Sans Age: 10 to the power of 100 years (technically a little more than that by now, but the number is so huge that it's no longer relevant.) Gender: Male Appearance: Appears much like Classic Sans, except for the silvery-white crystalline formations growing all over his body. These can get quite large if he hasn’t removed them in a while, and are often quite sharp to anyone with flesh instead of bone. He makes an effort to keep the Kenón from growing up over his head and face, or from completely encasing his body, but it's difficult to keep up with since it grows faster whenever he happens to be in the Void itself. He wears a long brown overcoat, gloves, and long black trousers, mostly in effort to hide the Kenón as much as possible or keep the sharp points from cutting people by accident. He also keeps a red bandana around his neck, something given to him by Papyrus. His eyes never went back to their original state after the Void-Sickness. Instead of dark hollows with a white iris, they seem to be a pale grey, like a well of deep nothingness. Backstory: Mistral’s Universe is based upon the question “What would happen if the Human just never stopped the Resets, but went on forever?” And the resulting Tale that followed was one of mindless repetitions for time out of mind as the Human would Reset in order to prevent the Underground from being destroyed. Eventually the human, who was no longer human, stopped when Sans suggested a different means to preserve their Universe without killing. This Underground has a deep history of worship and lore that surrounds their Angel, and Sans played the role of Judge, a historical job where someone representing the Angel’s Justice would be called upon to make an absolute Judgement upon anyone or anything. The King called upon him to bring his judgement upon the entire Underground for their part in everything. Formerly a scientist under his Uncle Gaster, he helped come up with the “Solution” which the entire Underground was inoculated with to help them remember beyond Resets. He himself was a victim of the Void poisoning like that which affected Gaster’s Followers and was only saved from being wiped to a blank slate by Gaster’s efforts. A fragment of Kenón (Void-stone) and determination was placed in his soul, causing the crystals to spread from it. In later years as the Underground thrived despite the Resets, he pushed himself to get another degree, this time in psychology, and eventually became a practicing therapist/psychologist (as well as the Underground’s willing delivery boy. He liked being able to see and talk to people all the time, and get to know things.) Upon the destruction of his Universe he was thrown into the Void with his Uncle Gaster, where they were rescued by the mysterious River Person. They met with Ink!Sans who explained the Multiverse and gave them the means to travel it. Now they travel from Universe to Universe, or sometimes wander the Void itself, or the Anti-Void. Gaster (now named Majuscule) is searching for his children, and Sans (now named Mistral) is helping while searching for the Ship his brother escaped with and whatever survivors of his people there might still be. Personality: Mistral is old. Though he was in a mindless forgetful repetitive state for much of the Resets, and has few memories of his own childhood beyond what Papyrus reminded him of, he is significantly mentally older than most of the other Monsters from his Universe. The determination in his soul (along with the Kenón) makes him very strong willed and much more powerful than he was before. It also gives him a minor energy boost. His years as a scientist specializing in studies of the Soul and Physics, as well as his later degree in psychology and practice as a therapist, make him a fairly discerning person who is easily approachable and can talk about a number of different subjects with ease. Despite his actions during the Genocide Routes, he is a much more mentally stable person (possibly one of the most stable Sanses out there from what I see) and is very much a pacifist, refusing violence altogether and choosing to let his words and mind guide him out of trouble, or his teleportation to let him escape danger. Because of his refusal to consider physical violence, even in his own defense, his skill in using fighting magic has atrophied. He can no longer summon the blasters at all, and his bone attacks are weaker. His teleportation on the other hand is much stronger and he can do it more often without tiring too much. The other effects of his refusal to fight means that he must proactively avoid confrontation whenever possible. Mistral uses his knowledge of how people think and act to guide his interactions with others, putting even Monsters from the Fell Universes at ease with well timed and thought out humorous comments, as well as just generally being willing to listen and try to see from the point of view of other people. He can tell puns, but they usually sound a bit forced, like he memorized them somewhere and was just waiting for a point to use them. Very rarely he’ll come up with the perfect one on the spot and be absolutely thrilled with himself. More often he uses dry humor, throwaway lines, or Hyperbole.

His willingness to try and defuse the tension caused by aggressive Monsters he’s dealing with can sometimes backfire on him and serves to make the Monster even angrier and more violent. Mistral will then flee, not wanting to fight them, but often marking himself as guilty or suspicious in the process when this happens with an authority figure who has confronted him for his presence.

The Kenón crystal growing all over his body tends to freak people out as well, which is why he hides it as much as he can beneath the overcoat, gloves, and bandana.

Like all skeletons of his Universe, Mistral has a great knowledge of fonts and writing systems, punctuation marks, ciphers, and typography. It is a very important subject to them as it very closely ties with how they see themselves, their identity as a person. This may be rather strange to skeletons from other Universes who do not share this background. A similar problem comes when skeletons from other Universes find out how strongly he and the Monsters of his world believe in the mythical Angel of Mount Ebbot and often pray to them or swear by them (or use “Angel” as a swear).

He’s also very interested in the concept of Identity and how it can change over time or be altered by events in your life, and how names connect to the concept of identity.

Can I use Mistral in my comic/story/animation/etc?: Sure. He’s a wandering type character, so it's likely he’ll show up in countless Universes and places all over while searching for his brother and his missing cousins. Sometimes he’ll be with Gaster and sometimes not.

One thing to note is that his story will have a continuation, so if in your story you detail events that involve him beyond just a brief meeting, chat, or background character… Just be aware that it's probably not going to be canon to the story I’m planning for him (though if we take other Multiverses into account it could be canon elsewhere).

I would like to insist that you tag and credit me on his use (Credit is good. Tagging me makes it so I can come see your wonderful creations).

Can I ship Mistral with this other character/characters?: Yeah, why not?. Canonically he’s aesexual and only very passingly interested in the idea of romantic relationships. But sure, ship him with whoever you like. Just know that it's not canon to this Multiverse.

While I would still like to be tagged in stuff that involves him. I know I can’t stop nsfw art/writing and other things of that nature from happening, much as I might like to. But be warned, If I see it or am tagged with that, or am sent asks of that... I will block you. Fontcest, Incest ships, child ships, or smut in general will all get you blocked instantly.

Canon height and weight: 4-5 feet high (same as Classic Sans). Weight was trickier. He’s a skeleton. A human skeleton is only about 15% of your body weight. So classic is probably somewhere around 16 or so pounds. But Mistral is covered by continually growing crystalline structures of Kenón. Since the crystal is heavy but spread out and somewhat kept under control, it probably only doubles his weight, making him 32 pounds.

Canon strength: Mistral isn’t a fighter. His attacks are weak because his desire to actually fight is nonexistent, even if he has to defend himself or others. But his actual physical strength, as opposed to his magical attacks, sees a significant increase to that of your normal Sans. The Kenón crystals actually increase his defense by making his bones stronger and more crack resistant, and his self healing is well equipped to deal with most breaks, though they’re still quite painful.

He also has increased endurance for longer physical or magical activities so long as combat or confrontation isn’t part of it.

Since he weighs more, he can’t jump as high as a Sans who weighs less (not that it's a huge difference. He’s only 32 pounds. Plus his strength can mostly make up for it by pushing himself off harder when jumping.)

Is it okay if I draw him with another gender, age, height, or sexuality?: Go for it. Have fun. Tag and credit me. But remember that it’s not canon to THIS Multiverse that I’m working in.

Canon Birthday?: September 16th (though he hasn’t celebrated in a LONG time. He probably doesn’t remember his last actual birthday party. Papyrus might though…)

Font?: Used to be Comic Sans. But now it's Mistral (upper and lowercase).

Original AU: Aeontale by

(or the-river-person. basically… me)

Can I send Asks for more details if I need or want them?: Yes. My askbox is open. I’ll answer what I can. I’ve put everything I can think of on here, but inevitably there’s always something missed in things like this. So ask away.

Star Sanses Studio AU: Puzzle pieces finally fit.

Alternative name: very long ramble of when an “AU” finally consider itself as an AU thanks to Template and Pale (also upcoming characters)

One thing I need to admit, Star Sanses Studio AU was just silly ideas that might be good for a fan fiction (which Shandy did her thing) material. I really never see it as an AU, I just called it an AU because here need a name for this thing after all😂.

Most of the draw, ideas, and dabbles are just an ideas, it not as big coherent by accident plot like 404&InkRE that I been drawn since I got into the fandom to somewhat connected Ink and Error’s timeline together.

Recently, I finally got to put one character (plus another) that I been wanting to put in any of my UTMV work but too scare of not get it justice. Finally know what character have like Pale show his emotions only when it Extreme, Core’s reason to not fire Ink and Error because what they see in their “All Seeing Eyes” and so on. This AU somewhat expand but still not really connect to each other much, it just a dabble after all. This AU just a mini side story that I write when I try to get my head out of 404&inkRE for once.

Each character have their own gimmick or personality they have, heck there is not plot or anything at all. Just young talented people work together and chaos just happen because two idiot can’t frickin communicate or have their ego too high. Their some character development through here and there but never find the way to make it happen, so I just go “well someone gonna write it eventually or no one even see it at all, why bother”.

And then I have a dream with this scene few days ago.

After long animating on the special effects, Pale’s file just crash. For the first time, Pale cry in front of someone that is not Template. Epic, who is basically his instructor to teach Pale from start but bless his fast learning ability, panic and don’t know what to do and ask Template for help. When Template got there, without any word from his mouth, Pale jump into Template and cry his soul out.

Template, who still never see Pale as a friend even how long they been stuck together AND HAVE HAPHEPHOBIA, try to calm Pale down even he about have a panic attack from the rough touch. As whole fiasco happening, Error was in the scene. Error just looking at them as they pair go to the break room to calm them down, he follow them in...

And I can’t ya more because of this scene became a snowball on the hill that causing me to go sleep less at night from idea rush of how everything can go together.

ALL THE PUZZLE PIECES ACTUALLY FITS!

The new interns character, this scene, and what happen after it. Template and Pale’s not-really-friendship tiny subplot became something that might drive the situation with Ink and Error in this AU. After long struggle of writing Ink and Error’s plot other than fighting or what happen after the “doodle sphere incident”, I actually know what going on in their surroundings that make them think so the “doodle sphere incident” can take place!! And this scene make me realize that there so many unexpected fun interaction that can entertain and grow these characters! And then everything make sense!!

I actually want to write a story about this chaotic mess that is Star Sanses Studio of how these characters interact to each other!

I finally see it as an AU now!!

This might just be me overreacting about my silly story but after this revelation happen in my head, I learn a lot. I finally want to know more about 3D animation just to write these idiots’ work right as a research, and been learn a lot of things from in. It might not be perfect when I draw it down since I don’t have a first hand experience, but I just learn other side of animation that I been avoiding to look into. Every knowledge is good knowledge, they said.

Template and Pale’s little subplot in this AU might small like it was, but effect the others’ arc more than ever. With new intern character that I will post tomorrow will spice everything up more too, even tho they come and go quite quick too. This going to be fun writing the interns arc!!

So, to my boi @unu-nunu-art ‘s Template (the OG Template),

ya want to be like Ink, right?

Guardian of the AU, the inspiration that help the creators to create.

Guess what,

You did it boy, YOU DID IT!

You inspire me to make me consider this silly dabbles as an AU!!

If anybody actually reading this rambling, thank you.

And have a nice day!
