Day 2: Queen

Day 2: Queen

The happiest time of her life was probably when she was a queen with happy children, a happy husband, and a happy kingdom. Simpler, brighter times!

For @cuddlyquiche’s most excellent Toriel Week 2022! I’m gonna try to do as many of these as I can! <3

i have a lot of Thoughts(tm) about toriel now but like, god, i just had an incredibly sad realization at the dark hour of 4 am about why she spends so much time trying to save each child that passes through the ruins - she's not just trying to save them out of the kindness from her heart - she's trying to prevent another death.

maybe it's selfishness, maybe it's love, or both- but toriel's dialogue about asriel in one of the scrapped alarm clock dialogues - "Asriel ... I will never let you go again-" really got me thinking. she's trying to replicate her old life and do things differently. in a way, flowey is right, she is trying to replace you. but it's not her just trying to fill that void.

toriel's house is exactly the same as new home's. when asriel crossed the barrier with chara's soul, he would have had to go through the basement and through the barrier.

she is literally trying to prevent that from happening again. every time she takes you away from the basement, in her mind, she's not going to let that happen again. all she wants to do is to be able to save a single child. to prove that she didn't fail asriel. to prove that she wasn't a bad mother. if she can save even a single child, and raise them on her own, then it will be enough.

maybe, just maybe, if she's protective enough, if she's more careful, if she's more caring, then things can be different this time.

literally goated with the (barbecue) sauce. did you know that sans deltarune keeps sexy pizza magazines in his store? now you know.

reblogs appreciated –▽–

as you probably know i dont usually do digital, but theres stuff going on with cameras so i cant really post anything traditional rn and try to adapt, try new stuff:D

Toriel had to kill during the war…but seeing so many young humans risking their lives made her feel ill. So, after the war, she vowed to never kill another, human or monster, ever again….

(I personally HC that Toriel didn’t fight in the war and was a young princess who’s parents died before being forced to live underground, but that’s just me. )

aroace toriel bc its pride month and i wanted to draw some personal headcanons for once >:)
