Ok so new random idea.
So you know those "Mean evil gf of the current polycule abuses the skeles and Reader until they move out and then they realize that the gf was evil and bad and they fall for Reader" trope, right?
I was thinking about the idea that there was no real evil gf but rather Reader doesn't like having roommates, but their roommate (who was the one exception) had chosen to take in a bunch of people (the skeles) without consulting Reader out of a people pleasing tendency. The roommate isn't dating the skeletons but they are friends with at least one of them.
The general idea is that Reader (who is autistic because I am and I want an autistic character that isn't mainstream media's sanitized autistic):
Is contact averse, aka doesn't like being touched (esp by people they don't know)
Is very blunt and goes for the most direct way of explaining something, sometimes using harsh language
Like routine, and becomes irritable when that routine is interrupted
Doesn't like strangers being brought over (parties or otherwise)
Not social at all, leading to them being in their room a lot of the time
Suffers from severe germaphobia, so they clean dishes if other people touch the insides, and doesn't want anyone dealing with their laundry
They're generally hard to live with, but this friend understands that none of this is them trying to be difficult to live with and just them trying to manage all the stress of their job and other things that makes them able to afford this near mansion in a nice rural neighborhood with a bunch of land.
The skeles don't know a lot of this at first and as such get on Reader's nerves constantly, along with the fact that they think Reader keeps washing things they touch/flinching from contact because they're monsters. Reader tries to explain, but the roommate being given more leeway lead to the skeletons being suspicious at best most times.
Eventually, Reader says that they're moving out and they're gonna continue paying a portion of the rent, but the old roommate and the skeletons will be paying the rest.
Eventually, one of the skeletons comes home saying that they saw them helping out a monster who was being harassed by a human. The skeletons are surprised and confused until the roommate explains (FINALLY) that Reader is autistic and those rules were put in place because they didn't need additional stressors given that they have a high stress job to pay the bills of that place.
When they find that out, everything starts to slot into place and they feel awful. Some skeletons try to apologize directly, some try to convince them to return, some simply tell them to come home, saying that their behavior will change.
However, Reader tells them no. They don't want to deal with screaming matches and things being thrown and things being burnt and all the stress having roommates brings by default. They say that they might've been able to overlook the behavior had they been given time to think things over, but as things stand they don't believe any of them, especially since some were outright rude upon first meeting them.
They don't blame them for not knowing if something stressed them out, but some of them definitely knew and did it deliberately in some sort of twisted sense of karma or justice for them being difficult.
They tried explaining their behavior before, but nothing actually changed and the stress of living with them simply became too much to handle, so they had to prioritize their own mental wellbeing instead of being a "pushover" like their friend. They end off by saying that they shouldn't have do give a psychologist's diagnosis to explain why they don't want people touching their things and putting their hands inside things they eat/drink out of.
The rest of the story can follow them actually putting in the effort of getting to know Reader outside of the house and the ensuing romantic shenanigans. It could be the set up to an extremely slow burn since Reader wouldn't forgive fast nor forgive easily.
Idk, just putting this here so I can at least have it somewhere I can read it. Y'all can use this prompt if it speaks to you, just tag me.
Right, considering the current state of corporate politics on this site, and that it seems that only those affected seem to be actively speaking on the matter, it is up to I, the only fucking cishet on tumblr, to drag this out to a wider audience.
We need to show these higher ups how much we truly value them.
Funny how you say that-
it is your sworn duty, as a warrior cat artist, to draw your favorite characters as warrior cats. you must. you vowed to.
I personally choose to believe that UF Papyrus, US Sans, and SF/FS Sans are the MESSIEST BITCHES EVER.
Like I have absolutely nothing to back this up but if I were to make a tier list from "quietly listens in on an argument" to "goes to parties/weddings that they KNOW will have drama and regularly keeps up with who disowned who", it'd be something like;
UF Papyrus SF Sans US Sans
I almost put UT Papyrus but I feel like it'd be highly circumstantial because they'd need to have wronged him for him to want to learn any dirt on them and it'd be very surface level. However imo Blue LIVES for the drama.
Blue <- has and will ask you for all of the workplace drama whenever you have time.
He's mature about it, but he will ask questions like "I saw that coworker you've been complaining about recently. Looked like she was in a bad mood" to try and prompt you into talking about them.
SF Sans mostly doesn't care, or at least pretends to. In all actuality he is listening in on your conversations with Blue trying to glean what happened. Please project your voice, he wants to hear but cannot let y'all know he likes drama.
UF Papyrus isn't so much "Messy" as he is petty. Like, him and SF Sans exist in a state of "Wrong him once and he's going to pull every string he has to to find every piece of dirty laundry possible and hint at it just enough to break you." Might ask you for details if you know them/ someone who knows them, but both him and SF Sans see less reason to do so if they have no dog in the race.
(I will boop everyone who reblogs this post, for the record 💖)
i updated it due to current happenings
edit: FUCKING REBLOG IT. LIKES DONT MEAN SHIT!
I hope Rufus gets another beer
fun fact: pigs can metabolize alcohol slightly better than humans, and they of course enjoy grains. this means that a pig can drink a beer as a treat. Rufus usually gets one a year, for his birthday. and he won't let the label stop him.
Watching an "I Expect You To Die" playthrough and was just thinking about Mafia(Fell) Sans X Spy Reader. They were sent in to gather intel and, if possible, kill the Don. Maybe they were sent in by a rival Don, maybe there was a small subsect of a human resistance group trying to force monsters back out of their town. Maybe they were a spy for hire.
Either way, they end up finding a "conflict of interest" and either
A) Distance themselves to avoid hurting the people they love, leading to Sans thinking that he hurt them, only to find them one day beaten and almost dead because the group that hired them was pissed that they weren't getting further intel even though they were paying for a monthly salary. (They might've left a note coming clean and telling him that if they see him again, they'll be free from their contract and they can be together)
B) Delude themselves into thinking they can pull this off, only for it to blow up in their face when Sans finally finds out, and they're desperately trying to repair their relationship, telling him that they hadn't been told to become this attached to him, that they do love him. This could also lead to a situation similar to A, however instead it was Sans' henchmen attacking them and Reader asks them to give him a note where they apologize and promise to never put themselves in his line of sight again, but they did truly love him.
I can also imagine a mix of the two, where Reader is trying to warn Sans of the dangers ahead, and upon finding out, Sans kicks them out, telling them he wants nothing to do with them and never wants to see their face again. Cut out the last part because if I turn this into a fic, I don't want to spoil you guys.
