Agh... I Hit Burnout Right After Our Buddy Sans Underfell Cinched His Fellsweep And So I Haven’t Done

Dummies in love~! Ft. @scrambledmeggys​ very handsome and charming Mafia AU Boss and Red 😏💖 They all simpin! Might come back and clean these up more and add color later, but for now I’m still pretty happy with the sketches -^^-

@motherbugmoart​ requested Red & Snyk angst in the “my wife fucking left me” palette from @m-chromatic​‘s palette challenge. @kuroshiro101 and @archiarthur referenced the meme, though, and I couldn’t help but take it in a more silly direction asdlfjsadlljksad I think I’m pretty happy with it! Thanks to everyone who helped inspire this piece! -^^-

Designs for what I call "Post-Killer" Sans, inspired by thinking about @rahafwabas 's second comic on Killer's origin, where he's re-programmed by Chara. The one on the left from an "interrupted" Bad Timeline (a timeline where Killer helped Chara or the Bad Sanses), and the one on the right from a Good Timeline (a timeline where he killed Chara). More information about them under the cut~!

The "interrupted" Bad Timeline is one where someone partially undoes Chara's programming. Because this version fully became "Killer" and murdered his friends and family, the person who rescues him leaves him a little bit of Determination -- as Alphys describes it: "The will to live. The resolve to change fate."

If he were turned fully back into "Sans," he might destroy himself in despair after what he's done. However, the Determination is contained safely inside his soul now.

This "Post-Killer" doesn't feel that he is still Sans, and so he goes by Z now. When people ask him what it stands for, he'll give them a different answer every time. He dresses very differently to distinguish himself from the skeleton he used to be, and though he can manifest his eye lights, he prefers to leave them off, because it gives him an air of ~mystery.~ However, he'll use them when he wants to express himself in a more forceful way, and sometimes they'll appear on their own when he feels a powerful emotion.

Although he doesn't see himself as Sans, some of Sans's core personality remains. Z is still a jokester and a prankster who enjoys having a good time with the people around him. He's more of a chatterbox, though, as well as more optimistic and willing to do things in self-interest. Z likes to present himself with a certain amount of swagger and very much enjoys flirting, especially with his S/O(s). He's very romantic and wants them to feel swept off their feet even if they've been together for a long time.

The Sans from the Good Timeline never fully succumbed to Chara's re-programming and never killed anyone, although it was very difficult for him. With the help of his loved ones, he's able to either resist the urge to gain LV, or is restrained when he's overcome until he can get control over himself once more. Together, they come up with a plan to defeat Chara. After Sans kills them, he uses their soul along with the other six to break the barrier, allowing the monsters to return to the surface.

Before leaving, Alphys uses the DT Extraction Machine to remove the extra Determination from Sans's soul. It hasn't quite fully gone back to its former shape, and Sans still feels the effects of the reprogramming sometimes. He has trouble making decisions -- when asked what he wants, his mind sometimes goes blank, and he genuinely doesn't know how to answer. His emotions also aren't as strong as they used to be, but they're still present -- just quieter.

For a while, Sans goes through a period of wondering if he is "really Sans" again, aware that his programming was still changed and that he's just one of a version of various Sanses. [Art of him during his recovery period.] However, in the end he decides that yes, he IS still Sans -- it's who he wants to be. Now that everyone's free from the resets and have a future to look forward to, he also feels a little more optimistic and energetic, and likes to dress in brighter colors than he used to.

[Although he just calls himself "Sans," as a nickname I refer to him as "Sans Avec," to distinguish him from the other Post-Killer and from Classic Sans.]

Both Z and Sans Avec have stains from the black overflow of Determination that used to leak from their eyes. Sans A. sometimes likes to put cosmetic glitter over his to make it look more like an intentional style choice.

Ikesen OCs Continued: Chiyome

“I will train you, if you possess the resolve. I expect you to devote everything you have to succeed.”

Introductions

Chiyome is a popular figure in Japanese lore as the creator of the kunoichi. She actually makes a brief appearance in Ikesen canonically in Shingen’s route, during his POV when MC first arrives in Echigo. Historically, she was married to Shingen’s nephew, and Shingen took her in after his nephew died.

For Ikesen, since Shingen isn’t old enough to have a nephew married to a 20-something-year-old woman without it being UH YIKES, this Chiyome was married to a cousin of Shingen’s. She’s still widowed though, and joined Shingen’s house afterwards. Now that she’s a single lady, and given that she loves other ladies, Chiyome is an available love interest for MC(s). :3c

Though Shingen sheltered Chiyome to honor a promise to his cousin, it turned out to be a stroke of luck for him as well – Chiyome possesses impeccable court manners, perceptiveness, allure, and an underlying iron will. Even then, she had extensive relationships and good will among women of varying stations. As Chiyome warmed to Shingen personally and began to trust him as a good-hearted and effective leader, she made more use of her talents to assist him. And, realizing her invaluable assets, Shingen gave her a monumental task: to create a network of entirely female informants who could hide in plain sight and gather information in ways his Mitsumono could not. Chiyome dedicated herself to this work, in part to help Shingen, but more passionately to help the women of a war-ravaged period take more control of their fates. Thus the kunoichi were formed, and they spread rapidly throughout Japan.

Fluff Alphabet for Kennyo: Q-R-S

From this list!

Quirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.

Kennyo's monk training has given him a number of skills that are useful in a relationship: being a good listener, staying calm, expressing gratitude (and the strength and flexibility don't hurt, either ;3). But perhaps the most quirky is his ability to raise his body temperature through sheer force of will. If his partner gets cold, especially on long winter nights, he can warm them right up through cuddling.

Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

Kennyo takes any opportunity to write love poems and notes for his partner. Holidays, the changing of seasons, a patch of rain-watered flowers catching his eye -- any and all such things give him the excuse and inspiration to express his love in writing. For special occasions, he'll work painstakingly on the poem for weeks, maybe even months, to get it just right. But for the smaller everyday occurrences, the love notes are shorter and more whimsical, although no less sweet.

Kennyo also pays a lot of attention to atmosphere. Once he knows his lover's favorite colors, scents, flowers, or motifs, he'll make sure to incorporate such elements into their shared home, especially their bedroom, and/or he'll take his lover to places where those elements can be enjoyed. Similarly, Kennyo pays a lot of attention to his lover's mood, and he'll bring gifts or take his lover to a special place to accentuate what they're feeling. As much as possible, he wants his partner to be able to experience a beautiful world where they can freely feel joy, wonder, excitement, peace, comfort, or even cathartic sadness, and the right setting can go a long way towards facilitating those emotions.

Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Kennyo has the utmost faith in his partner and takes an active role to support them. He's a scholar at heart, so he'll learn everything he can about what they want to achieve, out of genuine interest as well love. He'll ask questions, help plan required steps, and regularly check in with his lover's progress. He'll also make sure they have access to any materials or connections necessary. Being a keen diplomat and the leader of the most widespread Buddhist sect in Japan comes with some benefits. If the goals are dangerous to pursue, his partner will unfortunately have to contend with Kennyo wanting to create as many safety measures as possible.

Ultimately, since his lover's happiness is what's most important to him, he is willing to respect the boundaries of someone who wants more independence in pursuing their interests -- though truly dangerous pursuits will probably need a bit of compromise around safety checks.
