I’ll give my left kidney for a crumb of lore about your medievalfell bois.

That'll be Bastion and Steele, I love these two! As always, these characters are cowritten by myself and @justsamwich

Bastion (MedievalFell Papyrus)

He's the captain of the royal guard, often being assigned to lead the most important or serious battles. He's also often taken along as the head of protection for the Asgore, Toriel, and Frisk when they have diplomatic meetings to attend.

Bastion wears his armor if he's outside of his room, unless he's instructed to do otherwise by Asgore or Toriel. This is a physical manifestation of his struggle to be vulnerable with others. Being in his armor is just one of the ways he keeps his walls up with others. He has a pretty deep fear of being or hurt ot his vulnerability being used to get to someone else and hurt them.

Despite having issues being vulnerable, Bastion desires a simple life, with the possibility of getting to settle down and have a family. He's been tired of being a soldier since before monsters came up to the surface and while the fighting is not as bad as it could be, he doesn't like it.

He's an incredibly loyal individual, which means if you can get past his walls and win his trust, he'd die for you. Of course, at that point, if you asked him to live for you, then he'd do that instead.

Steele (MedievalFell Sans)

Steele is a blacksmith at the castle. He seems to enjoy the work, often taking on massive orders of armor and weapons on his own.

He is also still the judge, though this position is one he'd rather not hold. Still, he carries out his duties as needed until a succesor can be arranged.

While he is a man of few words, Steele knows how to make them count. He is blunt and direct, resulting in a bit of a bad reputation. He pays no mind to the rumors that float around the castle regarding this.

He has had a strained relationship with Bastion in the past; that has been largely mended, but there is still some work to be done. His brother is the only one Steele will talk to at lenghth (initially).

As one gets to know Steele a bit better, he is more open about talking and letting his sense of humor shine through. He's got a snarky kind of way of telling jokes- usually at his own expense.

One might also learn that he's struggled immensely with anger issues in the past, but he has done a great amount of work to improve on these. Being on the surface and stepping into the role of blacksmith have also helped immensely.

ratfarm said: Are containers an option? If nothing else I was pleased to keep kale growing all winter indoors (started outside and transplanted) and only took leaves as needed letting it regrow. Unfortunately, no. I don’t have an outdoor space of my own. No balcony, or patio for pots. My apartment building was constructed before things like balconies were common. Yeah, I overwintered a kale plant two winters ago, it was fun.

Do you have a list of which Undertale Characters/AUs you write headcanons/scenarios for?

Yeah! I would like to state that I write all of my AUs with my partner @justsamwich! So I'm happy to answer asks here and you can also ask them questions over on their blog as well! Just wanted to make sure everyone knows it's not all me ^^

I will also put the names for the skeletons next to their respective AUs ^^

Undertale (Sans and Papyrus)

UnderFell (Grunge and Baroque)

UnderSwap (Ginger and Clove)

WesternTale (Doc and Ranger)

WesternFell (Rusty and Diablo)

WesternSwap (Ace and Rodeo)

MafiaTale (Smoke and Mac)

MafiaFell (Whiskey and Saint)

MafiaSwap (Romeo and Lucky)

I'm most comfortable with the skeletons from each of these, alongside a majority of the main group (Alphys, Undyne, Toriel, Asgore, Mettaton.)

[jaxxwrites4you]

Out of all your Western boys, would you say any of them believe in love at first sight?

Ooooh. Well, this is an interesting question~ here's what me and @justsamwich have for you, dear anon

The western sanses don't outrightly believe in it...

Doc wants to, but knows he would actively seek it out and he likes to keep himself more grounded. In a way, he does believe in it, but is in denial, as he would be sad to not experience it himself.

Rusty believes love takes a lot of work and that's part of the joy in having a relationship. He believes in attraction at first sight, but he feels that you need to really know someone before you can say you love someone.

Ace feels similarly to how Rusty does, believeing you need to know a person and on top of that, he's never experienced it himself so there's also no proof of it.

As for the papyri...

Ranger believes in it, but not for himself. He thinks it can happen to other people, but he's too focused on his own work to really want something like that for himself.

Diablo believes in it once it has happened to him and before that point, he thinks the idea of it is very sweet. He's never going to admit to it, but once it happens to him, well how could he not believe in it?

Rodeo doesn't believe in it, once again as he believes you need to put work into a relationship. He's not the kind of guy who falls in love easily and he wouldn't trust someone saying they could.

you're... giving the host girl an actual name but calling XiaoJiao. "mei"?

So, I'm going to preface this answer with the fact that I'm an english speaker and watched the show in english originally, so i'm most familiar with that version.

I gave the host girl a name because as far as I could find, there was no given name for her in the show and while the fandom given name for her is fine, I found the name a little on the nose and wanted to come up with something for her myself. I picked a chinese name for her, because the show is originally from China and about the mythological stories therein. I felt it would be kind of disrespectful to just slap an english name on her, especially when the fandom given name is also chinese.

That's the only reason why there's a difference in the name choices between those two characters.

What outfit or articles of clothing do you think would really get your Mafia and Western bois attention if their s/o or crush wore it?

Smoke (Mafiatale Sans) - Enjoys seeing his crush or s/o in generally form fitting clothes, but you're sure to get his attention if you wear something that shows off your butt and/or hips.

Mac (Mafiatale Papyrus) - You'll get his attention best by dressing to impress, if he sees his crush or s/o dressed to the nines, he's going to be sneaking glances.

Doc (Westerntale Sans) - If you want to catch the good doctor's attention, it's actually best to go with accessories. If he catches his crush or s/o adorned with flowers in their hair, or a nice necklace that's going to get his attention.

Ranger (Westerntale Papyrus) - The sheriff is going to be drawn in by seeing you in something he's not used to. If he sees his crush or s/o more dressed up than normal, or trying out a different style of outfit, then he's going to be paying more attention.

Bonus bit of info, all four find it very attractive if their crush or s/o playfully takes an accessory or article of clothing from them to wear.

I have a few questions for your Mafia and Western skeleton bois if that's okay. How much of a flirt would you say they are? How do they flirt with someone they are interested in? How would they react if someone flirted with them? I’m sorry if that's too many questions jajdjsjdsjzsj

It's not too many questions at all and honestly, you wanting to know really makes my day ^^

Doc (Western Sans):

Doc is a bit of a casual flirt, the kind of guy that'll flirt a bit with his friends and acquaintances. His flirtations are typically things that one could brush off as him just being generally sweet, that way no one feels uncomfortable. And if you tell him you're not cool with that, he backs off.

If he's interested in you, then he's going to be a bit more specific in the way he flirts, noting what makes you the most flustered and gets the cutest responses. And if you don't mind, he's going to get as close to you when flirting as you're comfortable with.

Depending on the flirting, Doc will be anywhere from amused to flustered. If it's friendly and casual, he'll be amused and a bit flattered. If it's more personal than that, he's going to get flustered, especially if it's a consistent thing.

Ranger (Western Papyrus):

If you thought he was flirting, he probably did it on accident. He's not the kind of guy who just flirts with anyone and if he's approached about it and it wasn't his intention, he will apologize for giving you the wrong idea.

When Ranger is interested in someone, his flirting is very focused and personalized. He plays off of things he's noticed about the person and as he gains confidence, the flirting can even become more intense.

You will fluster him if you flirt with him. As a certified workaholic, the man isn't used to anyone taking interest in him and it will catch him off guard. He does handle it better as he gets used to it, but there's no hiding the slight blush you'll give him.

Smoke (Mafia Sans)

He's a massive flirt. He'll flirt with friends, strangers and anyone else who might engage in conversation. He's also got no shame, so he's likely to fluster and/or annoy people with what he says.

If he's interested in you, then you become the center of his focus. He'll flirt with you every second he can, unless you tell him to knock it off. On top of that, he's more likely to add physical flirtation as well, like caressing your cheek or placing his hand under your chin, etc.

Smoke can maintain his composure and he'll mostly just be flattered that you're flirting with him. It's not that he's not flustered, but he's likely to deflect any compliments that come with the flirtations and try to tell you that he's not worth your time.

Mac (Mafia Papyrus)

Mac will flirt on occasion, typically only if it's someone he knows very well or he needs to for work. He's a bit of a private man when it comes to his affections, not in that it's beneath him, but that he feels that is something just for him and his partner.

If he's interested in you, then it's a bit of a different story. Mac's style of flirting is a bit odd, mostly him complimenting you on things he finds admirable, on top of some flirtations based on his attraction to your physical features.

Mac is pretty unaffected by flirting, although if you get the right combination of catching him off guard and saying the right thing, then you might get to see him a bit flustered. As someone who is a face man for the Dreemur Family, he has to be capable of not letting people get under his skin (not that he has any).

[jaxxwrites4you]

Which of your lads would you say has the biggest sweet tooth? Is there anyone who can handle spicy food well?

Doc and Smoke both have pretty big sweet teeth, however, Mac is actually the one with the biggest sweet tooth.

Mac only drinks mixed alcohol drinks, typically fruity and sweet, as well as generally being a big fan baked goods.

As far as spicy food goes, only one of my boys enjoys it and that's Ranger. Although, he prefers a level of spicy that is flavorful, but not overpowering to the taste buds.

I really like your Caretakerswap AU. I think it’s very interesting and I’ve loved each story that you’ve written. UwU

Waaaaaah, thank you!!! (Also, so sorry for this reply taking forever to get to.)

This means a lot to me ^^ I wasn't sure how well the AU would do, especially since it messes with quite a bit of the dynamics and character development, but I thought it was fun. I can't wait to keep sharing these fics, I'm most looking forward to getting into how having Macaque as a parent makes MK being Wukong's successor really awkward.

idrawgood said: AWESOME! What a great looking rack :D Everyone looks nice and cozy in their new homes :3 Are these their permanent homes or are there larger tubs they’ll eventually be moved to? I just can’t tell from the front how big they are :O

This rack is good for snakes up to 2000 grams (give or take). So eventually they might outgrow it and need the next size up... but that won't happen for a few years yet, and hopefully by then I'll be in a place big enough to house the bigger rack without issue. Smaller/younger snakes will stay in this one. :)

idrawgood said: Wuuuuuh! I don’t understand how Lightbright is so stunning. She’s easily my favorite pastel ever. She’s freakin radiant! And those eyes of hers. I swoon for your snakes <3

Aww, thanks for saying that. She is pretty, even if she's just a basic one gene morph... I can't WAIT to get babies from her. Especially paired with Gary. idrawgood said: HNNNNNNG! THEY WILL MAKE GLORIOUS LEMONBLAST BEBES! Oh gosh, I can’t wait until they’re big enough to breed, which I expect will be soon :O Oh gosh, exciting!

Yeah, technically they're both big enough already. Gary is 962 grams, and Lightbright is roughly 1800 grams. ;)
