In this modern age, the old practice of writing letters between penpals has pretty much faded into the anals of history. Now it is all social media, online communities, email, and chat programs. Sometimes you get lucky and find yourself extended family online, and if you are really lucky you will find someone who is like a real family member. Just because you never meet physically does not mean…
I play a lot of COD, but I also don't at the same time. Like I'm only playing it with friends, I'd never play it by myself by choice. Truth be told, I don't really like shooting games (except tf2 and splatoon if that counts), but I do enjoy partaking in jolly cooperation.
As such, I am dog shite at the games. Like this is considered a near personal best. Normally, it's like 2 kills 20 odd deaths
However. I also only use a rocket launcher. Anything else is obsolete. Even in death, the rockets will land
I see a lot of people headcanon that sans fell in love with toriel from that first laugh when they were telling jokes through the door and it's really cute, but do you think it would have been the same for toriel or would something else have sparked it for her?
Ooooh, and believe me, I am one of those who headcanon that Sans fell in love at first laugh. He heard her laugh and was like, "wow!" The fact that he felt the need to keep her laughing... that she was his BEST AUDIENCE meant he loved to hear her laugh.
But that's different from what you were asking about. You wanted to know when she fell for him. My headcanon is that it took longer for her. I think, having been in love before and being... betrayed by that love... made it longer for her to warm up to this stranger.
If I can guess, I see Toriel as one who takes acts of affection as being key in a relationship. After all, in DR, she spent time making eggs and ensuring there was a Yoshi egg that she knew Asriel would love. It clearly angered her that Asgore ate it as it upset her son. A GIFT she made for her son was used as trauma. But that's DR... we can figure, though, her personality was the same between the two. Toriel is the same character, just in a different situation. So let's take this insight and go back to UT and the door...
Sans visiting her, by choice, every day was what started to win her over. He tells her jokes, makes her laugh, tells her stories, and tells her aaaall about his brother Papyrus. I think he feels he can open up to her. About how he makes sure Papyrus has all he wants and needs. And I think we can all agree that Sans pays attention to details. He knows and understands his brother. And yes, Sans teases Papyrus (older brothers as supposed to tease their younger siblings, after all), but he knows when things go too far. (Look at the winter Hockey scene, for example.)
It is this that Toriel falls in love with. She sees him as a good and caring big brother of a young adult and just wants to help him. She shares recipes and opens up about herself. They talk more and more, and that is what starts to strengthen their "close friendship" into love. Truly, they are in love early on, but neither will admit it...
Last, of all, I know I keep saying, "It's more than the laughs" when I speak up to haters. But let it not be said I discount laughs. Most women want to be with someone who really makes them laugh. And hey, guys also like it when women think their jokes are funny. These are actual relationship facts. So, while it started with jokes and grew from that, joking with each other is clearly still a keystone to their relationship and should not be discounted or ignored. So, him making her laugh daily... that also was something that won her over.
The point I'm slowly getting at is I don't think for her there is one thing that made her heart go "all aflutter." Instead, I see it as a slow build-up. Toriel just doesn't know if she should, can, or had the right to fall in love. So, it just takes time and multiple aspects to make her notice she might feel more than friendship for this stranger...
So I've been designing Robit Bugs (and entirtaining the idea of a webcomic about them) for a while, but I've also been weirdly shy about posting them online. The favorit of all my friends seems to be the bee robot called Honey Pot. So here's a Honey Pot Drone based on one of said friends.
How do people make online friends? This is a genuine question because I don't know how. Maybe I'm just too shy or something, but I'm genuinely baffled by it.
