In which the farmer is not quite human. Pt 2: Willy

Willy pulled his old wool coat a little closer to his chest. That battered old flannel had seen more years than some of the younger folk in town. They just didn’t make coats like that anymore.  The ocean air was bitingly cold. The fish weren’t really biting today, but he’d stay out until dinner time. He wasn’t the type of man to mix up his routine; even when the fish were being stubborn. The ocean never claimed to be predictable, or even kind. It owed him nothing. Willy simply knew how to withstand the tide.

He doesn’t notice the sound of rhythmic footsteps over the crashing waves. The farmer approaches.

“Ahoy there, Lass,” Willy says gruffly, nodding at her as she walks up.

The farmer smiled at him. She wasn’t much of a talker, that girl. Usually, she just nods or shakes her head, unless she’s really got something to say. Her tanned skin and calloused hands echoed her occupation. Through sheer willpower she managed to jumpstart the local economy through her farming, mining, foraging, and of course her fishing. The farmer was a good fisherman. Well. Fisherwoman, he supposed. She recently got hitched to Robin’s son, the sickly lad. They seemed happy though.

 “It’s late,” Willy says, rebaiting his hook for the umpteenth time, “don’t you farmer have to get up early?”

With another smile, the farmer just shrugged. Young people. Never stop long enough to hear themselves think, Willy supposed. Though perhaps the farmer girl wasn’t quite the same.

Another cold breeze swept over the waters. Willy bit back a shiver.

The farmer did not react to the cold. In fact, she was in a thin knit shirt, not equipped with sleeves, and decorated with a pattern reminiscent of a ribcage. That and a pair of baggy cargo pants. It was hardly winter attire. She didn’t have on so much as a hat or a pair of gloves, yet here she was, fishing beside him.

She threw her line in the water, without even baiting it. She just cast her line. Granted, it was excellent cast, going an impressive number of yards out. But still, it was a plain hook. She wouldn’t catch a damn thing.

“Come on, Lass. No bait?” Willy said with a raised an eyebrow.

The farmer stretched her neck, keeping a careful watch on her line. “Forgot it,” she said simply.

Willy shook his head; he’d taught her better than that. Maybe the cold was getting to her head. She was never going to catch any—

The farmer began to get a sharp pull on her line, carefully, masterfully even, she began reeling in a fish with precision. In less than a minute she held aloft an albacore. A massive one.

Willy stared at her.

“… good catch,” Willy said after a long pause.

She just nodded once, before throwing another baitless hook into the water. Willy just watched her, not exactly paying much attention to his own line anymore. Sure, the farmer was an odd little duck, and he was fond of her, but sometimes …

Sometimes he wasn’t so sure what she was. He can only chalk up so many things to the fact she used to be a city girl. City girls don’t spend six hours digging up clay on the beach for no apparent reason. They don’t fell half a forest in an afternoon, or remain forever untouched by the elements or fatigue. Harvey once told him at Gus’s that occasionally she’ll collapse in the mines, covered in slime and monster blood. She’ll return in the morning more often than not. It’s the only time either of them had ever seen her anything other than wide awake and energized,

Willy snaps out of his thoughts when he sees her rummaging in her bag out of the corner of his eyes. The farmer pulls out an uncovered bowl of soup and a raw leek. She quickly devours both things. Willy doesn’t ask any questions. If there are answers to be given, it isn’t his business.

They fish in silence, with Willy scoring a catch and the farmer catching six more fish of her own.

He’s done asking questions. She’s a great fishing companion. She respects the water. Willy’s leaving it there.

Part one

[inspectorcrayon]

"Thar she goes!" Got my friend PatricktheHenchman to do an art trade with me involving our starvies. Been wanting to draw his ocs for sometime, with this pic featuring his oc- Worcestershire, the slightly unhinged fisherwoman with a propensity for hunting down sea monsters. She's off facing the Quacken, her latest quarry.

[wilcze-kudly]

ships

linumi - kyalin - bopal - pemzin - suzin - bumizumi - linmon - makopal - korrvira

Linumi:

Bumi is the werewolf (big hairy man lol.) and Lin's the hunter. I feel like this is the most obvious.

At first I was gonna go with Lin as a mermaid, but then I remembered that Bumi was a literal naval commander and also merman! Bumi is a fucking vibe. He'd slay.

Lin is the least whimsical witch you will ever meet and Bumi is the familiar. What animal can he shapeshift into I wonder?

Barista Bumi. Idk why but I feel like this man can make amazing coffee. I can see it in his forearms. Lin is a canon coffee addict in my heart.

Like with the mermaid one, I at first was gonna have Lin as the teacher but I found the idea of cool guy professor Bumi and really strict TA Lin really endearing

Bumi is the Knight and Lin is the surprisingly competent princess. But i also love the idea of rugged knight Lin and soft Avatar's son Bumi. So like. I can go either way.

Cool dad Bumi and Lin as the scary teacher Bumi's kid always complains about.

I can certainly see Bumi as a writer for some reason? Like he tells stories a lot, I think he'd be a decent writer. Lin being his editor would be really funny because I can imagine that Bumi just word vomits onto a page.

Kyalin

Oooh werewolf Kya! As a waterbender, she already has a connection with a moon, it's perfect. I think Lin would look cool with like, a Dawnguard style crossbow.

I mean. Kya feels more mermaid-y. Water connections and all. Also She's just so damn whimsical.

Witchy Kya! And Lin as her catlike familiar. Ooh...

Barista Kya and Lin the forever coffee addict lol

Yeah, Lin certainly has teacher vibes... and Kya is the TA everyone likes more than Lin.

Knight Lin... and princess Kya d'awww

Single mom Lin and Kya as the teacher who helps Lin connect with hwr kid.

Exhausted writer Lin and Kya as her editor who cheers her on

Sorry, no Bopal, since I really really hate that ship and don't like thinking about it.

Pemzin

Tenzin as a gentle as fuck werewolf. Pema is ready to get rawdogged by a monster with a huge knot but Tenzin is too much of a sweetheart.

Tenzin would probably be a mermaid and Pema is the overly excitable fisherwoman who caught him and keeps him in a bathtub. (I just feel like Pema would be a monsterfucker. I feel it)

Witch Pema who summoned Tenzin as her avian familiar. Monsterfucker Pema supremacy.

I'd say barista Pema and exhausted coffee lover Tenzin

I feel like their vibe already is Teacher! Tenzin/TA! Pema

Sweet gentle prince Tenzin and very excitable knight Pema who is here to rescue him. Please don't resist.

Single dad Tenzin and teacher Pema. They'd be cute.

Tenzin would be the writer and Pema would be the editor I think.

Suzin

I'd actually see both of them as werewolves for some reason? But uh if I had to chose I'd point Su out as the werewolf.

Suyin as a smitten mermaid and Tenzin as a baffled nad horrified fisherman

Ooh Witch Tenzin and Suyin as his familiar. I'm not surewhat animal she would be shapeshifting into.

Barista Suyin and coffee addict Tenzin.

Tenzin would be a stressd out teacher and Suyin would be his amused and unhelpful TA

Knight Suyin and Prince Tenzin. But I can see it going either way too.

Single mom of a gaggle of babies Su and Tenzin as Opal's airbending or whatever teacher.

Writer Su and Tenzin the editor

Bumizumi

Werewolf Bumi, per usual. Idk... he's just so werewolfy.

Izumi as a mermaid, she'd be so cool and pretty...

Witch Izumi and Bumi, her familiar aww...

Idk Izumi has such coffee addict vibes and Bumi should be allowed to coffee.

TA Bumi who stands up for the class when strict ole Izumi is tormenting the class.

Well um Izumi is already a princess so...

Single mom Izumi and Bumi the teacher who teaches her how to love again lol.

Writer Bumi and Izumi organising his garbled thoughts

Linmon

Amon as a werewolf and Lin hunting him down how intriguing. That would make a cool AU fic

Mermaid Lin and Amon as a fisherman who specialises in fishing for mermaids. He hunts her... how the turn tables!

Witch Amon and Lin as his familiar who hates him. Cat that bites you lovingly.

Barista Amon and coffee addict Lin again.

Lin as an exhausted teacher ans Amon as an equally exhausted TA. They argue. A lot.

Princess Lin and morally grey scary Knight Amon

Single mom Lin and Amon the teacher. God the Parent Teacher conferences have to be sexually tense hell.

Edgy writer Amon and his concerned editor Lin.

Makopal

Werewolf Mako and Opal hunting him ohh. Dw he's just misunderstood.

Mermaid Opal wanting to be part of Mako's world aww

Witch Opal and her fiery familiar Mako who is just. Not happy to be here.

I'd actually call Mako the barista, and Opal would be a coffee addict. Though Mako the barista is also addicted to coffee lol.

Teacher Mako and sweet TA Opal

I know it doesn't exactly make sense but Prince Mako getting rescued by brave knight Opal is in my head forever now.

Single dad Mako falling in love with his kid's teacher Opal

Writer Opal and Mako editing for her. But i think she doesn't leave much to edit.

Korvira

Hmmmm... I can see it going both ways. Kuvira just has vibes for both, y'know. But picking one it'd be Korra as a rather unproblematic werewolf. And Kuvira as the overzealous werewolf hunter who's very excited about commiting murder to clear monsters from the area.

Mermaid Kuvira actually. I know Korra being a waterbender should be more mermaidy, but like. Deep sea mermaid Kuvira lives in my head forever.

Witch Korra and her bitchy familiar Kuvira lol

Sexy dyme barista Korra and Kuvira the coffee lover.

I think Kuvira would be the really annoying teacher and Korr would be the likable TA

Princess Korra and Kuvira being her knight in shining armour aww.

Single mom Kuvira and Korra as a teacher, who really loves kids

Fantasy writer Korra and Kuvira as her editor

Whewww, that was a lot! Goodness gracious

[drawingducktalesducks]

Can you tell a little more about the future AU May and June and their adoptive parents?

feverish and not even sure where that doodle came from. here's some odds and ends tho

people assume the fashion designer would like everything Just So, all neat and tidy, and the long haul fisherwoman who's off sailing for moths would be fine with controlled chaos

dead wrong

the INSTANT May docks in Duckburg her anxiety spikes because she can just FEEEEEL June's messy work space

May dropping off a bucket of sea serpent scales, filling the bucket with soapy water, whipping out a mop and dust pan, and attacking her little sister's room with all the wild, furious intensity of someone trying to bail out a sinking ship

Donald likes helping but usually gets tangled up in the vacuum cord at some point

June hides booby traps for May to find in her messes. Just to have a little fun

You know how much she's been missing her sister by how many and how complex the traps are

While May is busy cleaning (and clearing) her room, June has a tradition of going on May's ship and hiding nice little nick-knacks all over it- a cool rock, a candy bar, a cursed knife Webby brought home from her last adventure... just fun surprises to break up May's extremely regulated life at sea

Daisy knits May a new wool sweater every year, and May always tears up when she get it

Donald not only has a dozen pictures of all his kids in his wallet, he also has pictures of May's first catches and allllll the clothes June has ever designed.

He talks to May about sailing to make sure she's being safe and doing okay- He listens to June talk about clothes design and construction afterwards, to calm down and distract himself from thoughts of May fighting sea monsters.

June understands that fashion trends are a thing but since they're a thing that doesn't often align with her interests she chooses to ignore them and just make what she likes

She never gets super well known as a result and doesn't mind at all

Miss Glamour admires her confidence and ends up hiring her as an assistant after Daisy starts up her own business- which nobody understands, since June doesn't cater to Glamour at ALL and the vibe is more "doting grandmother happily has tea with her headstrong and irreverent grandchild"

Daisy and June do mother-daughter martial arts exercises every morning and evening, before and after work, to stave off the carpel tunnel, and Daisy still has no idea how she survived so long without it

May tries keeping a logbook while out sailing but usually ends up writing another paperback spy novel instead (penname: Gray Gullson) 

Beakly is a BIG fan

Beakly has no idea why May keeps wanting to have teatime chats with her about the old spy days but enjoys them quite a bit in any case

June kindly pretends not to understand why her sister needs to know if you could sew secrets or poisons into dress

and she puts May’s latest novel draft back into its hiding place when she accidentally finds it

...

she also edits the draft for spelling mistakes and leaves suggestions in the margins, in May's own handwriting, knowing it'll freak her sister out when SHE finds it

they make an effort to be together for the anniversary of Black Heron's "disappearance" (June paradropped onto May's ship from the Sunchaser once) but still aren't sure how they're supposed to spend it

they always call or visit with Daisy and Donald the day afterwards though

"...you ever think about what we would do, if she came back?"

"Disappoint her, probably. We're not exactly super villains."

"Yeah...."

"..."

"I hope we'd fight her."

"I think we would. I mean, if she tried to hurt mom or dad..."

"Or Webby or the Sabrewings."

"The boys too."

"Ducks and McDucks. Beakly."

"Launchpad."

"Gyro?"

"I guess pretty much anyone, really."

"We do have a lot of people to fight for these days."

"Maybe she'd be proud of us for that?"

"..."

"..."

"Probably not."

"Well I'm proud of us."

"Yeah. Me too."

"And I wouldn't trade Donald or Daisy for anything."

"Never."

"Ever."

"..."

"...I miss them."

"Same. Let's go home."

Mii Lore: Coraline

Unlike the character of Mr. Neil Gaiman, our Coraline is a fisherwoman in the Streetpass Mii Plaza game Ultimate Angler.

Coraline is an employee of the local fishing club house. She teaches the player the basic mechanics for fishing, which is all fine and dandy until the boat is hit by a legendary monster. Coraline and the player return to the local fishing club house, now baitless. Coraline’s father, however, is very excited by the mention of the legendary monster and wants the player to report said monster when they see it. (so like moby dick except the guy is a little less intense, it’s not a whale, and there’s not murder, so maybe not like moby dick at all, anyway this doesn’t have anything to do with coraline so i’ll shut up)

Ultimate Angler and Coraline herself were developed by a company called Prope, within Nintendo(?) The company was originally meant to be a part of Sega’s “support program for Independent Game Creators” and was founded by Yuji Naka. Ultimate Angler was one of the games that Prope produced for the 3DS, with others including Monster Manor and Feed Mii (sources are mixed for others).

anonymous | Put a 👥️️ in my inbox and I'll tell you about one of my muse’s family members

👥️️ the late Mrs. Walker perhapses?

Quanta Fisher was- as her occupational surname suggests- a fisherwoman, responsible for contributing to the meat portion of her village's food. Due to this career, and the sheer vigor of the majority of Astonia's edible fish, Quanta was kept in incredible shape, more than capable of carrying a captured river monster over one shoulder- or, much to his delight, her husband.

While Quanta certainly gathered the food, she had no joy in preparing or serving it, more than happy to let someone more interested handle it. The most she could be persuaded to enjoy is assisting the cook, bringing them the needed ingredients and utensils. Because of she usually wound up with the job of delivering meat to the various houses, and her inability to decline the stern invitations of the elders, she was often roped into doing precisely that.

Quanta and Bro'Dee met on the beach a few miles from their village, the latter seeking company in the ocean while the former gathered shellfish from the surf and sand. The priest rather shy when it came to unexpected acquaintances, Quanta introduced herself first and gradually coaxed the other into an ambling conversation that lasted until the fisherwoman's basket was full and they'd arrived back at the village.

That harvest season, Bro'Dee once again found himself falling short in his attempt to initiate, Quanta- deriving some humor- speaking his question for him and asking him to the upcoming festival's dance. This trend continued, Bro'Dee trying to ask about an outing only for Quanta to voice it- Until Bro'Dee managed to muster up the courage to ask her out back to the beach they first met at, where he proposed to her.

a short comic about a lesbian fisherwoman and her dubiously healthy relationship with her sea monster girlfriend.

[anime-grimmy-art]

What do you do when there’s not much to an AU? You make up your own stuff, ofc. And as is per usual when I make Character Designs, I make up a shit ton of lore too.

The ramblings under the cut, but what I’m really interested in, is what you guys think. Do you guys have any headcanons/ideas for this AU? Let me hear them! Also, if you don’t wanna read on tumblr, here’s the Google Docs link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/151yshHxnb_--P6eMKkwkI2dee9xC_Llb/view?usp=sharing

Before I get into the characters’ roles, here’s some general facts and backstory of their town:

- Basically, it’s Undertale meets Harvest Moon / Stardew Valley. Well, kinda. I at least used that approach for coming up for the jobs for the characters. You know, how there’s always a general store, a doctor, a smithy, etc.

- The usual story of a HM game is that you come to a town that’s way past its glory days and you, as the player/farmer, help them get back to that. The “backstory” of the town is that that already kinda happened. I’ll get into it more in the character description, but basically when Asgore was still mayor, the town got really popular. Then yadda yadda, a certain tragedy happened, two kids died, and the town suddenly got very bad publicity. There was a lot of stuff going on back then, bad reputation being spread and also a lot of law stuff, cos, you know, supposed child murder ‘n all, so Asgore made the decision to shut off the town to ppl from outside. This was in the interest of most monsters living there, because as fun as it is to have a lot of people coming there, most just wanted to live a quiet life. Not everyone was happy with that though, so many moved away from town and some others are trying to get the town back on its feet. But more on that later.

On to the characters:

I’m just gonna start with the skelebros, cos it’s their fault in the first place I got so invested.

Basically, they are what the player is in hm/sdv. They just showed up one day, took over the abandoned farmhouse and began their life there. The two came to town way after it was “closed” and since then a new mayor has opened the possibility for new residents to move in. Their farm helps the economy of the town a lot and the mayor, like usually in hm games, is trying to use that to make the town more known again. The skelebros aren’t really working towards that goal however.

So, now a bit more detail on them individually.

Papyrus:

- The design is mostly based on what’s “canon” in this au.

- He works mostly on the fields and is in charge of the crops. Their fields aren’t spectacularly big, but still big enough to plant a few dozen rows of veggies. 

- Paps also helps out a lot in town when he has the time. He helps Asgore with his plants, he goes fishing with Undyne, helps Toriel carry crates around and so on. This is inspired by the part-time job mechanic in HM ToT.

- Unbelievably, in this AU Pap is not an absolutely awful cook. Since he helps out at Muffet’s and Grillby’s a lot, they tend to show him some tricks to cooking. Even though Pap’s not a big fan of the greasy or overly sweet cooking those two do, he picks up a lot.

Sans:

- Again, design mostly based on the “canon” look. Maybe a bit more baggy.

- This is finally an AU this dude gets to rest. Since there are no resets and he doesn’t have to see his bro die again and again, for once in his life, he’s not a sad ball of depression. He’s just a chill and lazy dude that loves to make puns. Though, since he’s not too experienced with the feelings of loss, helplessness or grieving, he still tends to hide behind puns and fakes smiles if he does feel bad.

- Sans is in charge of the animals on the farm. Papyrus begrudgingly gave him that role since Pap’s loud demeanour and hectic movements usually scare the animals. Sans’ relaxed attitude draws the animals to him naturally and even if Pap mostly finds him sleep against a tree, in a stack of hay or on one of the sheep, the animals are always fed, healthy and relaxed, so Sans seems to be doing his job.

- Sans always has a small chic sit inside his hoodie or hat. Is it always the same one? Who knows, maybe.

- Sans also, somehow, can produce eggs out of thin air. Grab into his hoodie pocket, in his pants pocket, in his hat, in his slipper, there’s suddenly always an egg there. On good days he can even make butter or cheese appear. 

Gaster:

- He’s literally just a scarecrow in this. Though, if you ask any of the bros why they designed their scarecrow that way, they won’t have an answer.

Frisk&Toriel:

- Frisk is mostly based on what I wore myself as a kid in summer. Just a loose shirt with a cappy. Toriel basically has her ut gown, just with an apron on top.

- Frisk just appeared outside the “magical” forest one day. Napstablook and his cousin found them and brought them to Toriel, who has been taking care of them since.

- Toriel runs the general store in town, but also often takes care of the few kids that still live there.

- Frisk usually helps out in Toriels store, plays with the other kids or sits around at Asgore’s. They’re notorious for nabbing small snacks, mostly from Asgore’s plants. You’ll always find them munching on something. 

- Frisk was in town before the skelebros. Since they’d moved in, Frisk often went to spy on their farm. After a small incident with angry chicken, Frisk got to know the two better and now they see them as something between brothers and uncles.

- But Frisk honestly gets along with everyone. Just like in UT, they’ve not only been adopted by Toriel but literally everyone.

- Toriel and Asgore’s relationship is not as bad as in the main game, since, you know, Asgore didn’t kill literal children, but there’s still tension between them. Back when Asriel and Chara died and the whole thing with the bad rep for the town began, Toriel felt betrayed by Asgore focusing more on the town than giving their deceased kids the grieving they deserved. They’re not divorced, but Toriel still moved out and said needed space to think. Now that Frisk is in the picture though, the both of them are slowly coming to even ground and may even be able to talk things out and clear up the uncertainty of their decisions.

Asgore:

-Asgore has his UT Ending / Deltarune clothes, just with a gardener’s belt.

- He’s the previous mayor of the town, but after all the crap that happened, he stepped down from the position. Now he has his own little shop and sells seeds, saplings, homegrown veggies and fertilizer. So, basically what e.g. the Marimba Farm is in HM AP

- His main customer is Papyrus and they’re on friendly terms. Asgore is worried about how much and how hard Pap works, so he often gives him a discount. 

- Since his family’s past tragedy, Asgore is kind of nervous around kids. So, when he first met Frisk, he hoped they’d not visit him too often. But to his chagrin, Frisk took an instant liking to him and spends a lot of time at his shop (and steals eats the fresh grown veggies). Now, he’s really grateful for that, because for one, he loves Frisk as dearly as he had his own children, and also because now the tension and mistrust between him and Toriel seem to grow smaller day by day.

Undyne&Alphys:

- I gave Undyne a pretty basic fisher’s outfit. Alphys basically has Elli from HM’s outfit, just a bit more doctory stuff added. She still has her canon lab coat too.

- In essence, Undyne and Alphys have 2 completely different jobs. Alphys is the resident doctor and Undyne runs the fish market.

Two things. Yes, I know Alphys is more a mechanic than a doctor, she fits the aesthetic though, so she’s the doc now. And no, Undyne being a fisherwoman is not cannibalism, think of it more as a shark hunting smaller fish.

- The reason I lump them together is because they act as the local “smithy”. Alphys is still really tech savvy in this (I mean, Mettaton is still part of this AU), so she takes on most problems with electronics and stuff. For Undyne, I didn’t want to lose her Royal Guard’s Captain image, so she’s really good at handling tools (and weapons, but Al doesn’t let her make them anymore). So basically, if there’s a broken tool, you can be sure that either Undyne or Alphys can fix it.

- As for relationships, those two are still an item. Alphys is still really shy and a shut-off, but since Undyne and Pap become best friends, she gets to know the skelebros better. She and Sans especially get along well, since most of the time Undyne and Papyrus are let loose, they sit back and talk about science-y stuff. (no, Sans doesn’t have a background in science but he’s still into sci-fi)

- Alphys has a bit of a strained relationship with both Asgore and Mettaton.

Back when Chara and Asriel died, it was because of “illness” (maybe poisoning?). Alphys feels awful because with her back then limited knowledge on medicine she couldn’t help the two. Asgore doesn’t hold anything against her but Alphys can’t help but feel guilty.

Alphys still built Mettaton’s body in this one. The two had a really big disagreement, because Mettaton hated the fact the town was going to close, and he couldn’t understand how Alphys could feel otherwise, even more so endorse the idea.

Mettaton, Napstablook, Mad Dummy/Mew Mew:

- Napsta and Dummy are pretty self-explanatory, they got straw hats. Mettaton’s outfit is a bit of a joke cos it’s a play on “work at the top and party at the bottom”. The tie has two different sides, one with the yellow red pattern, the other completely red. His “top part” is the business part, because when he’s on tv or in the mayors’ office, you don’t usually see his feet. The bottom is his party/dance part, cos his dancing/entertainment channels mostly feature his legs. 

- Mettaton, still a robot, Napstablook and Mad Dummy are all still cousins in this AU.

- Originally, they all lived and worked at the Blook Farm, the Animal Farm of this AU. Mettaton, however, despised that simple live and after befriending Alphys and her building him a body, he left the Farm to pursue bigger things. 

- Mettaton runs the local tv network. From weather to game shows, he does it all. He also runs the tailor shop in town that sells his designer clothes and merchandise. After Asgore stepped down, Mettaton also took over the role of town’s mayor and now works towards making the place more known again. Not everybody is happy with him doing that though.

- One of those people is the Mad Dummy. He can’t stand people anyways and he always claims that history would just repeat itself.

- Since the whole family is made of ghosts, they have different dummies and scarecrows they can use to take care of the animals. To mock Mettaton and kinda get back at Alphys for giving MTT such an opportunity, Mad Dummy found the blueprints for the Mew Mew robot and now modelled one of their scarecrows after it. 

- Napstablook isn’t fond of taking over obejcts like his cousins do, so he mostly takes care of the snails. Somehow, he can interact with them even when incorporeal. 

Muffet&Grillby:

- The two of them run the Inn together. Muffet cooks in the daytime and makes desserts, Grillby manages the bar in the evening. 

- The two still can’t really stand each other but working together like this benefits them both because their rivalry just spurs them on more.

- Even though Grillby is a patient person, somehow Muffet is the only person who riles him up enough to retaliate. (Well, maybe except for Sans, he’s a strong second).

So, basically everything between those two is a challenge in some way. Even if Papyrus doesn’t notice, even his cooking lessons are a challenge for them. 

- Even though they’re constantly bickering, after working together for so many years, there’s a strange level of respect and trust between them. Even if back when they first started this business, they’d pour salt into an already open wound, nowadays they’d know better and just take a step back from the other or even comfort the other (on very rare occasions only). 

Asriel&Chara:

- They be dead. Kinda.

Some Characters that’d live in that town too but that I haven’t made designs for:

- Gerson is the original smithy of the town. He’d grown up in a family of smiths, but he’d always had an appreciation for the sea. That’s why, when the town became more deserted and Undyne had a good enough skill level as smith, he took up the Captains hat and now mostly spends his days out on sea. He also ferries people to places if they need him to. Oh, and just like in canon, Undyne learned most of her skills from him.

- Burgerpants is a poor dude Mettaton basically kidnapped when he was trying to get fame in the city. Now Burgerpants works wherever MTT needs him to, be that as cameraman for the tv shows, cashier in his tailor shop or his slave secretary in the mayor’s office.

- MK is Frisk’s best kid friend. MK’s parents are in charge of shipping the goods out of town and paying the individual people. MK’s the one that usually collects the goods at the end of the day.

- Other than that, there are only a few people in town. I’d imagine the older folks or the really young families stayed in town after it was closed. I think the librarby dude would still run the library. Some Snowdin residents like the stone family or the dogs also might still live there.

typheus is another name for typhon (which might get you better search results), who was a big ol snake/giant monster thing that's sometimes descended from Cronus and sometimes descended from Gaia herself. Cetus was a big ol sea monster that both Perseus and Heracles went after.

Perfect, thanks! Now that we've identified our mythological figures, let's do a quick rundown.

Typhon/Typheus as you said, is a monstrous serpent, so I was right with my snake guess. Described as one of the deadliest creatures in the mythos, he challenged Zeus himself, and was buried underground for his crimes. None of this bodes well for poor John.

Cetus, on the wiki article I just found, is a sea monster or serpentine fish, and seems to be used interchangeably to describe multiple sea monsters. Not a lot to go on, here. Rose has shown no aptitude as a fisherwoman so far.

Hephaestus, of course, is the god of fire, metallurgy, blacksmiths, craftsmen, and a grab-bag of other things in that general area. Despite being an Olympian, he was cast off the mountain by Hera as a baby, permanently injuring him. Maybe Dave will be upgrading the party's weapons later on.

I think the most notable thing about these three is their clear elemental associations - earth, water and fire. When we see GG's browser, I'm expecting it to be a god associated with air, such as Boreas.

I also want a story please!!🥺

hmmm lemme see

Okie kids, gather around for another story sesh, where we learn to never offend someone while they nerd out, and also how to convince your ex wife to marry you again.

So it was a fine day on Mount Kailash, and Parvati wanted to take up a new subject - this time she decided it was Tantra, which is the indian school of Occult and Supernatural sciences.

And who better to approach than your own husband, who happens to be the inventor of Tantra?

Shiva warned Parvati - “Babe these things get intense and i’m pretty nerdy about this stuff do you think you can keep up?”

Parvati assured : “Yeah how hard can it be?” *gets out skulls and bones*

So Shiva launched on a big Tantra 101 course, which lasted for literally forever. Now after a thousand years of listening to Shiva ramble on about what kind of lemons to use to spite your enemy and noting everything down with your clickable pen pn your spiral notebook, Parvati got bored (WHO WOULDN’T GOSH). She started zoning out, making airplanes, secretly texting, lying about going to the bathroom and instead killing some monsters etc. Shiva was deeply, very deeply, offended by this and he had this big ass fight with her where he ended up calling her “fish for brains”. This offended Parvati very much so she said, “Oh, if I’m so dumb then FUCK YOU I’M LEAVING. I’M GOING BACK TO EARTH, AS A FISHERWOMAN CAUSE YOU VERY CLEARLY THINK I AM FISHBRAINED.”

It was immediately after Parvati went that Shiva realized what he had done. He then turned into my-wife-just-dumped-me-but-i-really-love-her mode.

Meanwhile Parvati had reincarnated as the Chief of Fisherwoman in the Konkan region of India. She was the best out there, and that made her mortal parents proud (which is such a big deal), other fisher tribes jealous, and people fell madly in love with her. However, the gurl had class and so she proclaimed - i will only marry the person who succeeds in taming a monster.

Word reached Shiva, and then he cooked up a plan - he sent his vahana and favourite devotee, Nandi (king of bulls) to earth and told him to act like a sea monster. Now Nandi was a very kind and happy bull, so when he transformed into a sea monster, he just ended up frolicking in the ocean. However, mortals mistook that as “terrorizing” (stupid humans thinking they’re better).

It was then that Shiva approached as a fisherman, “tamed” Nandi (he just whispered who’s a good boy and Nandi came into his net) and then took him all the way to Parvati.

Parvati realized it was Shiva, cause he got moxie, then she married him and they both went back to Kailash and agreed to never nerd about for a thousand years.
