Mr. Grillby's newsletter shock real-life cartoon

The spring issues of the Undertale and Deltarune newsletters have arrived.

Mr. Grillby's sultry marginal geek. Sangri's biggest fan.

Frisk｢I wonder if Mr. Grillby is here!｣

｢Hmm...? What? Eh? Eh? Huh?｣

*I used the same font used for the title by finding it on my own.

There's Mr. Grillby!

Sangri are lined up next to each other together!

Frisk｢Ahhhhh!!!｣

｢Eh? There was a Mr. Grillby in the winter issue and there's a Mr. Grillby in this issue too! And it's the star of the show! Thank you!｣

That's a precious supply of Mr. Grillby!!!!

Frisk｢Huh? That's a lot of information! So many episodes and settings of Mr. Grillby...! Yikes...suddenly I know so much about Mr. Grillby, I'm crying.｣

｢As for Mr. Grillby, I'm almost in agreement with the interpretation already. Glad to hear it.｣

｢Mr. Grillby in the snowman episode is a very young girl, a loli.｣

｢I love Mr. Grillby, who is usually a kind and gentle mommy ♥.｣

｢Wow, all the regulars at Grillby's are there too!｣

｢Of course Sans is there too. We'll see later...!｣

｢There are so many sentences. Too much information?｣

It can scroll like crazy.

｢Seduce Mr. Grillby!?｣

｢Roast marshmallows in your mouth!? Erotic...!｣

｢I find it rewarding to be an interpreter...!｣

｢Sans points out the interpreter's mistake and the two clash!?｣

｢Worship Mr. Grillby!?｣

｢All the regular customers love Mr. Grillby!!｣

｢Love the beloved Mr. Grillby!!｣

｢More new possibilities for Bottom Mr. Grillby!!｣

｢And Sans... only Sans and Mr. Grillby know when and how much the bill is being paid...｣

｢That's very lecherous.｣

Sangri's only secret ♡

Frisk｢He is good friends with Mr. Grillby!!? Help with chores!!? Even keep watch at the store!!?｣

｢The officials clearly stated that Sangri is a good friend of mine!!! It's a double love!!!｣

｢That Sans even doing chores and storekeeping, that's love!!! Sangri, you two husband and wife managers!!!｣

｢Wow!!! YEAH!!! Officials are pushing Sangri ......!｣

｢I knew Sangri was official ......!!! I'm so happy!!!｣

｢I'm glad I guessed Mr. Grillby!!! Good thing Sangri is the real deal ......!!!｣

｢I've got so much more stuff I want to draw!!! Let's go to ......!!!｣

I immediately tweeted over 30 tweets of my impressions and fantasies all at once, almost at the character limit.

Taliax's "AO3 Wrapped" 2021

Going into the new year, I thought I'd make a kind of status update on all of my current fic wips and upcoming projects, as well as a bit of a summary of what I accomplished this year. I would love to see other fic writers do something like this too if you want! I'm posting this on main since I have so many sideblogs, but my ao3 is under Taliax. at least that way it will look somewhat consistent when I reblog this other places lol

Putting this under the cut because it's long!

FIC PROGRESS IN 2021

AO3 says I posted 381,042 words! That's less than last year's 483,876, but this year I was not at home as much (from covid quarantine stuff).

I posted or updated 73 fics this year. (Wow I did not realize it was that many.) That included finishing Seventh Time's the Charm (my alphys's bad dates fic), The Undying (canon divergent from Undyne the Undying fight), and Sweat and Ginseng (Zuko tea shop fic). By finishing Sweat and Ginseng, I completed all of my ongoing ATLA wips. Pretty much all of my Undertale fics were written this year.

Undertale surpassed Miraculous Ladybug as my fandom with the most fics, with a total of 51 fics (ML had 48). I'm really happy with the amount of progress I've made this year!

That said, I still have a whole whole lot of fics to finish, so here is a breakdown of my wips and where they're at progress-wise.

WIP STATUS UPDATES

Any fics marked with an * are planned or may be started in my drafts, but haven't been posted yet. Each fic will have a "Status" after it, which is like my tldr for where it's at in terms of priority and/or completion. Even if something is high priority though doesn't mean I'll actually have the brain cells to write it at any given moment unfortunately. I tend to cycle between wips periodically instead of focusing on one at a time, which is why each individual fic can seem to update so slowly.

Below are all of my wips, published or unpublished, sorted by fandom and priority.

Undertale

Let's Do the Mortal Coil Shuffle: According to my solid outline, there are only 4 more chapters left, including the epilogue. The next chapter is giving me some trouble but hopefully will be easier now that I changed a POV decision I'd made. Very very excited for where this fic is going. In particular I'm really looking forward to wrapping up the Mettaton subplot. (Mettaton my beloved <3)

Status: Highest priority Undertale fic. 4-ish chapters left.

You Dug Up This Grave, Now Lie In It: THIS IS SUCH A FUN FIC. 10/10 would be working on it more, but Winter and I wanted to flesh out a bit more of the Ghost Fam backstory first. In particular there's a Chara & Mettaton fic that needs to be set pretty close to when Mettaton leaves to become star that would help establish some things for this fic. Other than that it's going great. This fic will probably be my next biggest endeavor after Mortal Coil Shuffle.

Status: On hold while establishing backstory. Will probably resume once MCS is done. Unknown but large amount of chapters left.

Be Good, Alright?: I don't know why I don't work on this fic more. I started a Christmas/Gyftmas chapter that I'll hopefully be able to get out today or tomorrow. The biggest challenge is not mixing up my Lore between this fic and the skelechara series. (Also that Frisk in this fic is written much differently than in any of my other fics.) (Also that I no longer have a solid outline because I changed so many things...) Anyway, depending on how stubborn Chara is about talking to Toriel, this could be finished in an indeterminate number of chapters.

Status: Medium priority. Usually what I work on when I'm stuck on other fics. Unknown but hopefully 5-10 chapters left.

Carrying the Weight of the World: Recently I merged both the Sansby and Alphyne fics in The Undying series into this single fic. This will make it easier for me to make a cohesive plot, since it turns out this fic will actually HAVE a plot lol. I have most of that planned out on the Alphyne side; still some of the Sansby sideplot I need to outline. That said, this fic doesn't get a lot of attention, and with it being a sequel, it is not quite as high priority as my other wips. (I am still very attached to it myself, but it is not driving me insane to hold off on for a bit.)

Status: Low priority until I knock out some other wips. May work on more if I get a good Sansby or Alphyne itch. Unknown number of chapters left, hopefully 5-ish.

*Alphamind: Alphyne (+slight Papyton) Megamind AU. I've started this and I'm really excited to work on it more, but again, I have too many wips and I'll go crazy if I have so many incomplete fics on ao3 ;;

Status: On hold until I knock out some other wips. May write up a more solid outline.

*King Mettaton Papyton multichapter: been brewing this in my heart for some time yet I keep starting on newer ideas instead of getting around to actually writing it. Rip. Still going on here because I really want to write it eventually. Hoping my utdr fixation lasts long enough for me to get there.

Status: Early planning stages. On hold until I knock out some other wips.

Deltarune

Something Bigger Than the Sky: Pretty much no one cares about this fic. I have absolutely had a blast writing it and it will drive me insane if I don't finish it. I also have a sequel fic planned that takes place in Castle Town and mostly involves Ralsei & Spamton, but that might get kind of long because. I really really wanna explore all of the relationship dynamics between the different Dark World characters too (Seam & Jevil, Queen & Seam, Spamton & Jevil, etc.). There will also be a few more fics in the same universe, one going into the backstory for Queen, and one for Seam & Jevil divorce.

Status: Highest priority (if only for my sanity). Only one chapter left. Sequel(s) will have lower priority.

Not a Nobody: I still only plan on this being three chapters total. Really hoping it won't do what SBTtS did and double that chapter count. Anyway I'm REALLY loving working on this fic. I have the beginning of the next chapter, it just got kind of buried in my docs when I hyperfixated on the swatchton fic. This fic has a decent outline but most of it is in my head, so it could definitely be flexible.

Status: Medium priority. 2 chapters left.

Miraculous Ladybug

Home Base: There are only like, 2-3 chapters of this left. Probably 2 and an epilogue. I am really stuck on the Chat & Carapace chapter that I'm supposed to be writing next for some reason, which is why I haven't updated in a while. Once I can get past that I think it won't be too difficult to wrap up the story. Also just wanted to mention that I'm so so grateful for all of the positive feedback on this fic, it really means a lot!!

Status: High priority. Would like to finish during early 2022. 2-3 chapters left.

First Dance, Second Chance: I have an outline. It's a pretty solid outline. I am also just very slow with writing this fic for some reason. Since we have established relationship Ladrien at this point, this one is probably the most difficult fic to work on when I get in a romance repulsed mood, which is also a major reason for delays.

Status: Medium priority. 4 chapters left.

*Secret Santa Oneshot: Marichat. No other spoilers.

Status: Highest priority. Deadline is early January. I should probably look up when exactly again lol

Kingdom Hearts

Contingency Plan: Updates were really slow this past year as I did mainly Undertale fic. It's hard to estimate how many chapters are left, but I do finally have all of the characters back at the Keyblade Graveyard, so it shouldn't be too many more. I'll give a safe guess of 3-5 more chapters.

Status: High priority. Unknown (hopefully 3-5) chapters left.

Shadows Alight: Officially UNCANCELLED. I am doing a full edit of the CaS series, and then I will go back to adding chapters to this fic and attempt to give it the real ending I was originally working towards. This may not be what anyone (besides me) wants, but after all these years Vanitas and Aqua in this universe are basically my OCs, and I finally have the confidence to do what I want with them. I hope you'll enjoy if you decide to come back to finish the ride. No idea how many more chapters it will be, but it will involve a fairly major rewrite of KH3 plotpoints (of course still focusing on Vanqua). This does include a Xehanort takedown and rescuing Terra. Hopefully I'll also get to use the Xionnort subplot I'd always had plans for.

Status: Undergoing edits. On hold until edits are complete, then probably still low priority. Lots of chapters left.

*The Luxu Building: A Vanqua/Terrella college custodial scifi au. (What a mouthful.) Will try not to get too into this unless/until I can finish Contingency Plan, but I've had the idea on the backburner for years now. I finally figured out how to get some of the plot straight to feel confident starting it.

Status: On hold.

GOALS FOR 2022

Attempting not to intimidate myself too much here dskfj. Ideally next year I would finish all (both) my ML wips and stop writing multichapters for ML in the future. I'd like to be more free to focus on utdr and vanqua (kh). Here's a more specific breakdown of some goals/hopes I have for the next year.

Priority Fics to COMPLETE:

Contingency Plan. This was first posted back in May 2018. It's been long enough lol

Home Base. This one is close enough to being done that it's a reasonable goal.

Something Bigger than the Sky. Literally just needs one more chapter.

Mortal Coil Shuffle. Biggest ongoing undertale fic, would be really nice to have completed.

Things that I just really look forward to writing: so many things!! But somehow, mostly Papyton? If you would've told me last year that I'd get so attached to them I would've thought you were crazy. I thought they were just a "pair the spares" ship at first that I saw in the background of soriel fics, but after writing them I've become really attached to their chemistry! So my deltarune papyton fic (Not a Nobody) and skelechara fake dating (Dug This Grave) are two I'm really looking forward to, even if I'd like to finish some other fics before prioritizing them.

If you actually read all this, thanks! I hope you have a great new year!!

Sansby Week 2018

Day 5: Heart

Universe: Plushyrune (again XD)

Warnings: fluff. Just... just fluff.

Also on AO3 (for Link please click on the “Fanfiction” section on my blog)

It had been a long day. Work had dragged on and with the month at it's end there was a lot of paperwork to do too. Owning his own business came with a lot of freedom but also with a lot of tasks that taxed Grillby's precious time even more.

Before, he hadn't minded but now was After and things were different.

But the point is, Grillby was exhausted and was home late. Papyrus was probably deep asleep with it being a school night and even Sans seemed to have gone to bed. The living room was dark, the kitchen empty and there was only the light of Papyrus' nightlight coming from under his room's door.

Sans' and his shared bedroom was dark as well, the only indication Grillby got for his partner being there was a small lump on the bed.

His orange flames painted sharp shadows around the room when Grillby stepped in, slowly undressing as he made his way to the bed.

It became slightly brighter in the room the more clothes Grillby put away. His shirt went first, then his socks and his pants. The body of a monster was the extension of their soul. Grillby's body was flame and light, dust and magic.

The room became more visible. Photos on the wall and on the night-tables. Their closets, one of them slightly open. Some small knickknacks Grillby had collected over the years and some others Sans had added to them. A plant Grillby had gotten as a moving-in-present from his neighbors years ago.

And of course Sans, sockets closed and sleeping peacefully, a soft blue glow emitting from his bones, indicating his sleep and rest with the magic spilling over slightly. There was something orange and black and white grabbed in his arms and Grillby had to smile. It was the plushy of himself Sans had made a long time before. Grillby's own Sans-plushy was sitting lonely on Grillby's side of the bed.

He picked the plush up, hugging it while looking at the real-life Sans. For a moment Grillby just watched him, marveling in the beauty of his beloved partner.

He had done this before, coming home late, so he had practice in sliding into the bed without disturbing Sans. He snuggled up against him, sliding down so the blanket covered most of him, making it more dark again in the room, letting the details, photos, knickknacks, even the plushies that were now snuggled between them disappear into the shadows.

He layed his head on Sans's sternum, snuggling close and letting his own magic intervine with Sans', feeling tired/relaxed/trust/love nudge gently against his own magic.

Monster didn't have blood or a heart to pump it through anything. But Grillby could listen to Sans' magic, could sense the flow of what made Sans Sans through bones and the invisible in-between. And a rush of affection ran its course through Grillby's system in turn.

Sans stirred a bit, mumbling and snuggling into the heat that was Grillby and Grillby let him, hugging this person that was so important to him closer to himself.

Despite not even having one, Grillby loved Sans with all of his heart.

Fireworks (US Sansby)

AO3

Sans and Grillby goes stargazing. Pure fluff.

Fandom: Undertale/Underswap Characters: US Sans, US Grillby

It was a lovely evening. It was no wind, relatively warm – even though cold would not be of any issue this time – and the night sky was completely cloudless. It stretched endlessly, past the horizon, stars splattered over it. Sans marvelled in how gorgeous it was. The moon was not out tonight, which was making the stars shine brighter than ever. The stars in his own eyes grew bigger as he counted the constellations he could find whilst they walked toward the hill they were going to spend the coming hours.

”I see your amazement over them haven’t shrunk, my sweet.”

The warm voice woke Sans out of his haze, and he turned to the fire elemental who accompanied him here tonight. Grillby’s flames was dimmed so they wouldn’t make their night vision worse than necessary, just for Sans’ sake. The thought made him smile even more. Grillby did not much like to dim his glowing flare, and normally there was few things he adored more than the beaming light and warmth they gave away, but when watching the stars it was bound to get difficult if they were as bright as they usual were.

”Of course not.” He breathed, voice much quieter than normal. Looking up at the sky once more his eyelights looked more like explosions than stars. ”How could it? The stars are infinite, there are so many more than even I can count. Who knows what could be up there? Perhaps someone lives out there, watching us like we are watching them. And even if not, they’re so beautiful.”

”Not half as beautiful as you, firefly.”

The line was delivered quickly, smoothly, and with what sounded like completely sincerity. Sans fought the blue blush lightning up his face, making his boyfriend chuckle. Grillby couldn’t just say things like that, and Sans told him that.

The elemental laughed and kissed his skull. It was a warm sound – like all his sounds around the skeleton – and he straightened out his turqoise suit. Not even stargazing on the grass had been enough to get him to change from suits to something more comfortable.

Nothing more was said, or needed to be said, as they in comfortable silence came to the place they had decided on earlier the same day. Sans put out the picnic blanket and his boyfriend pulled out the food basket from his inventory. Together they unpacked and put out everything on its correct places before taking place on it, close together.

The basket had all of both their favourite things – except mexican, as Grillby had decided they could not eat mexican every single day. Greasy burgers, fruity drinks, onion rings, deep-fried fruits of different kinds. None of that sugary stuff Papy liked. Sans couldn’t stand the sweet (and Papy couldn’t stand the grease, which was one of the reasons they mostly ate tacos and other mexican foods at home).

Sans sipped at his drink; some might think it an odd mix with all this greasy bar food and then these luxurious drinks, but it worked well and Sans didn’t really get the chance to drink alcoholic beverages too often since Grillby more or less was the only one who remembered that he most certainly was old enough to drink – not even Papy seemed to do that, and Sans raised him on his own. It was very frustrating, but anything for Papyrus’ mental health. So he had to take the chance when with his boyfriend.

”IT’S DELICIOUS AS ALWAYS, GRILLBZ,” he commented, pressing a skeleton kiss to the other’s cheek. ”STARS, I LOVE YOU.”

”I love you as well, Sans.” Grillby’s flames burned a little hotter, even though they did not get brighter. Sans laughed quietly. He knew the other well enough to know that the other was blushing, and he loved it. Grillby almost never lost his calm, the flame was extremely smooth and graceful, but whenever Sans said those three words he always grew hotter. In both senses. He chuckled at the pun. And then there was one more way he knew of to make the other blush.

”HEY, GRILLBY.” He waited for the other to turn to look at him before he let his grin grow wider. ”IS IT HOT OUT HERE, OR IS IT JUST YOU?”

”I REALLY LIKE YOUR FLAMEBOYANT CLOTHES.”

”WE ALWAYS TELL CHILDREN NOT TO PLAY WITH FIRE, BUT I THINK I’D LIKE TO DO THAT ONCE WE GET HOME.”

Especially the last one had the other hiding his face in his hands, in both embarrassment and annoyance, and Sans was almost rolling on the ground with laughter. Complimenting with puns always worked.

Half an hour later they had almost finished their food, and Sans had showed the other all his favourite constellations when light dots showed up at the foot of the hill.

”LOOK!” he said excitedly. ”I THINK IT’S STARTING!”

True enough, within a minute the first one was heard, and soon the sky was filled with explosions of light in different colours.

”I love fireworks.” Grillby sighed. Sans had to agree. These light shows were one of the best things about the Surface.

”YEAH,” he sighed, smiling. ”THEY’RE VERY PRETTY, AREN’T THEY? ALMOST AS RADIANT AS YOU.”

”Oh, firefly.” He could hear the other’s affection and it made his soul glow in pure happiness.

They cuddled close together while watching the splendid display in front of them, not saying much. Sans pressed himself closer to the other, basking in the comfortable heat. After what felt like both hours and minutes at the same time the fireworks eventually stopped, but neither of them felt like moving.

”I COULD TELEPORT US HOME,” Sans noted hesitantly, sitting up, but Grillby broke him off before he could continue.

”I say we stay here tonight. No one would dare to rob us, and I can have some firelings take on guard duty for safety’s sake, if you want. What do you say, beloved?”

Sans sighed happily and leaned down on the fire elemental once more. He couldn’t help but smile, and the stars in his eyes changed to hearts.

”I’D LIKE THAT.”
