making headcanons that selectively ignore things that were established in canon

[After these three current threads come to a close, Tallow’s timeline will experience a hard reset. So be prepared for that! It’s important to note that how he defeats Chara varies largely on the thread, but there is a “canon” one. Which? You’ll have to decide for yourself.]

NERDS

I swear I thought of this like two seconds after posting the last set and for some god-awful reason felt compelled to make a comic of it

<<Yeah,>> he smirked right back. He took her hand, twirling her around before he signed, <<So what do you need to be safe after all the DT? How can I be assured you’ll be okay?>>

Tallow nodded, seeming to be content with that answer. He reached out, taking her hand in a silent gesture of sympathy. He knew full well what it was like to be chewed up and spit out over and over again. His other hand came up to cup her cheek, pressing his forehead to hers. He wished he speak and be heard, so that he could continue to hold her in this way. Instead, he had to pull away, <<I’m glad you came back to me.>> He offered her a gentle smile, <<Even if this all goes sideways, I’m happy that you came back. Out of the ether, to here.>>

Flowey continued to complain, shrieking and screeching and cussing them both out. Tallow’s face remained neutral as they were ported, tapping his chin as he listened to both Red and Flowey try to talk above each other.

He heaved a sigh, reaching over and grabbing a coffee pot. He unceremoniously dumped Flowey into it, grinning as the flower monster took pause in his tirade to look offended. “What kind of...! Do you...! You’re...!”

He shrugged, dumping a bottle of water on his face.

“AHHK!” He shifted his roots around and fell silent.

<<I thought we were staying away from DT? But yes, I believe I could get it if it became necessary.>> he signed, <<Besides, I know something about this little prick that he’s not sharing.>> Tallowed looked over at Flowey, who was momentarily content after being watered. <<He’s got all of the other five souls. He’s one soul away from becoming the worlds tiniest fucking terror. And Chara has that soul. We really only need to get them close enough, call out the soul and...well. Hope it’s not glued to Janey’s.>>

Flowey continued to grin maniacally. “Help you? Why would I help you?” He laughed, baring his mouthful of sharp teeth, “I’d rather feed you to the demon than help you. I would rather-weh!” He gave a sharp little sound as he was suddenly, and forcefully plucked from the earth, Tallow’s hands closing in a choke hold around his stem. “PUT ME DOWN!” <<Flower acquired.>> He signed to Red. “YOU’RE ALL GOING TO BURN FOR THIS. I’LL SCATTER YOUR DUST TO A DIMENSION SO IMPOSSIBLY DARK THAT YOU’LL GO MAD FROM IT. I WILL TURN YOUR BONES INSIDE OUT.”

“yeah, yeah, bitch and moan, weed,” he said, rolling his sockets. “we’re saving your life too, idiot.” alright, let’s go.” He took Tallow’s wrist and ported them back to Tallow’s place, now that he knew exactly where they were going.

“i’ll bring DT from my world, invade the bitch’s place. unless you think your royal scientist might have a lazy security system…”

“PBBBBBBBBBBRT.” The flower blew an even bigger raspberry at Red, followed by a nice, gooey spit to his face. “Fuck off, outsider! We don’t need anyone or anything else tampering with our world!” He leveled a sour glare at Tallow, mouth splitting into pointed teeth. “I should have killed you when I had the chance.”

<<I really have never done anything to you.>>

“Yes, yes the demon! Well! That’s not my problem now is it? Soon as that little leech tries to kill me, I’ll override it’s save, and all will be as it should!” A wicked little laugh. “But it never makes it past the Queen.”

He scowled, mood souring more as the Flower continued to be a jerk. What the hell, He would’ve hoped this little shit would at least be reasonable, but…He wiped at the spit.

“alright, listen here, you little fucker,” he growled. “what you’re waitin’ for ain’t gonna happen. not unless something changes. i may be an outsider, but i may also be your only damn shot at gettin’ away from that bitch unscathed. so are you gonna fuckin’ help us, or what?”

Beyond the branches held aside, was a large flowerbed. It was primarily empty, tangled with thorny brush and wilted flowers. But in the center, sat a single yellow flower. It looked a little sad — slightly wilted, petals torn — but it was the flower they were looking for.

The flower perked up when he heard someone approach, hopeful expression turning sour when he saw that it was Tallow.

“Oh, great! It’s you! After all this time it’s still you who comes to see me!” He’s clearly mad.

<<I haven’t done a single thing to you!>> Tallow signed aggressively.

“I still don’t speak hands! PBBBBBBBBBBBRT.”

The look Tallow have Red was long suffering.

“What do you want?”

“wow. not what i was hoping for, really.” Red slipped his hand into his pocket, frowning down at the flower.

“listen, weed. you wanna get rid of the demon too, right?”

@voliition I know we aren’t mutuals, but I want to comment something nice anyways. You were, and remain one of my biggest inspirations for writing in this community. The thought you put into each post, your style, your conviction for writing the character in a consistent style -- it adds up to someone who creates content that is pleasant, and engaging to read! You also seem like a really rad person. Definitely a positive influence!

I think everyone should make a post with just a ❤ and let mutuals comment on the post with nice things :’)

<<Can I ask you something?>> He signed, wringing is hands together for a moment, <<Are you the same Dove I’ve always known? You feel different.>> He had never really known her very well, but he knew her enough to be sad at the loss of her. Even if he had been too deep into his damned depression that he hadn’t clawed out of bed to search for her.

His smile was genuine, leaning into the warmth of her palm. <<You don’t know who much I appreciate it. After everything we’ve been through, I hate to ask for more favors. I truly hate to drag anyone into this mess more than I already have. But I’m done. I’m ready to end this. And I need more brain power than whatever is rolling around inside my skull.>> He cracked a sassy smile. <<And who else to help me kill a bitch than my darling Turtledove.>> There he was. There was the Tallow she knew and loved.

“What do you want?”

<<Alright. Let’s go.>> he pulled on his coat, not answering his brother when he asked them where they were off to. He didn’t have time for his upset screeching.

The journey to the castle was…simple. Despite the Qeeen and her guards being a serious threat, most of them were either directly guarding her throne room, or off searching for Chara. There were few actually posted around outside, making their journey suspiciously easy.

<<Should be around this side here,>> He signed, holding a branch aside for Red.

Despite how easy it might be, Red never dropped his guard. He was constantly on the lookout for surveillance cameras, ready to shortcut both of them past any that he saw. He kept all of his senses on high alert for movement or sounds, using all of the decades of experience from being ambushed. He was actually fairly well-suited to this sort of thing, if he had the will to put effort into it.

Red nodded at Tallow’s signing, signing back a quick ‘ok’ with his one hand, unwilling to speak during a stealth operation like this. He poked his head around the bush, looking around, making sure the coast was clear, before slipping through to their destination.

<<Oh, that little yellow asshole?>> If Tallow would have had a lip. It would have curled. <<Don’t know if he’s still alive, but…yeah, we did. If he is, he’d be hanging around the castle gardens.>> He grimaced. <<That’s…not a great place to be.>>

The Queen was a right bitch. And she wouldn’t give a moments hesitation to have them both decapitated on sight. Especially since one was an outsider and the other was supposed to stopping the demon from doing exactly what it was doing.

<<If we can avoid the guards, we should be okay. Should we see if we can find him?>>

“so he’s an asshole, huh?” He frowned a little. “not the _best_ option, but he’s probably better than the demon. it’s definitely worth a shot.” He nodded. “we should check that now, before we do anything else.”

[tallowbone-blog]

He nodded. <<Going forward is okay. Good even. It means that we can kill the demon. Even if the timeline crumbles after that, it will give us a way to escape. And even if...>> Exhale. Distressed breath in. Shakey. <<Even is that means nothing changes with Jane...I know she would want me to risk it. For her, the best outcome would be freeing everyone from that striped bitch’s grasp.>>

Okay. So. They needed to find someone more determined. Right. There wasn’t anyone that he could think of. Ye most powerful monsters had been wiped out long ago.

<<So what do we do about the DETERMINED ally?>>

His smile was genuine, leaning into the warmth of her palm. <<You don’t know who much I appreciate it. After everything we’ve been through, I hate to ask for more favors.
