Me: Dont Project Dont Project Dont-

Me: Don’t project Don’t project Don’t-

Me: *projects*

Probably not going to meet any of my deadlines because of work and school, so have a preview of a huge project I’ve been working on!

Is this upcoming project just to flex how much I adore Asgore? Definitely. Homeboy needs more works with him in them >:(

So I have a new comfort character....

CLOSE UPS + TRANSLATIONS FOR MY SHIT HANDWRITING:

Egg Anotations: ‘Home boy likes eggs.... for some reason.’ and ‘Easter egg maybe?????’

Flower crown annotations: ‘Can someone get this man a flower crown?’ ‘He deserved it. Probably.’ ‘Probably a good person and not like a murderer. Probably.’

Twink Gaster Annotations: ‘Woah what if he was like a normal dude?’ ‘Nah.’ ‘He’s kinda hot. Don’t like’ ‘But I kinda like the design.....’

Gaster: My, what an amazing day! There’s NOTHING that could go wrong today!

The core: *explodes*

Drawing: ERROR ERROR SYSTEM SHUTTING DOWN

Annotations: ‘Found a way to have my cake and eat it >:)’ ‘I think my new favourite colour is red’

Hey guys, I’m sorry that Because She Died is updating so late. I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out and am having a rough time with finishing touches and proof reading because ✨pain meds✨

It’ll for sure be out Monday, sorry for being a week late :(

1 with Undyne? (lmao it’s like 4 in the morning for me)

Here you are!!! Also: It’s too late now, but you should try and get some sleep! I know it may be difficult or feel impossible (been there), but resting is better than nothing at all! Your body needs it uwu

So: I like to think Undyne has a serious issue with appearing weak in any way, shape, or form. One of the main things that can be used to describe her is her strength, as well as what she is known for.

So naturally, she’s not gonna let herself be grounded as something as simple as the sniffles!

The problem is, Undyne is unfortunately very susceptible to extreme temperatures. She deals better in hot weather than cold, but fevers tend to ignore that rule of thumb. The moment one hits, she’s practically grounded until it passes.

Now. Most people would take this as a fact of life and take a few days off to recover. Undyne on the other hand....

She keeps going until she’s too sick to do anything. Then, and only then, will she actually call off.... and probably lock herself away until things get better. She can’t afford to let anyone see her this weak, expecially not those she holds the highest respect for!

Both Asgore and Papyrus have tried to help her during feverish states, but she doesn’t let anyone get close. Not even if they come bearing soup and ice packs.

There is two exceptions to this rule though:

Firstly: Alphys.

Since the two moved in together, they’ve become practically inseparable on sick days. Undyne will fight far less to take a break and stay in if it involves snuggling with her lover and watching anime.

And, as much as she hates people fussing over her, even Undyne has to admit it’s awesome to watch Alphys go into doctor mode. Even if it’s not her level of expertise, she just gets so confident and certain. Yet so gentle...

Undyne loves it.

The other exception is one that’s abit more... unfortunate.

Now, I haven’t figured out my head cannons exactly for how Undyne lost her eye, but I know it involved a training accident of some kind. It happened before she was caption, somewhere in her late teens - early twenties, and was probably the result of her getting too eager or pushing too hard.

Whatever happened, she was suddenly without one eye and not letting anyone get near her.

Thank god Asgore managed to talk some sense into her and let someone actually help her take care of herself while she rehabilitated. It was a tough couple of weeks, but she learned it was ok to show some vulnerability and Asgore cemented his role as a father figure. So, happy ending? I might write a fic about it someday.

Anyways, that’s my sick Undyne head cannons! Considering how many sick prompts y’all are sending in, I think I may just have to write me a sicfic one of these days. Don’t know with who yet tho ;)

Alrighty how about 14 with Mettaton and 9 with Toriel?

This is a long ass post, so buckle up buttercups >:)

So, if you really think about it, Mettaton IS a robot now. He fused with his body, considering he can die in Stabby Stabby/Nuetral routes. Robots can’t absorb alcohol, therefore they can’t get drunk.

Now, the argument could be made that he just absorbs the magic that makes up the drink then sends it to his power core, like an organic body. The that funky drunky flow intoxicates him.... But that also contradicts my personal head cannons on how Metta’s body works.

I’ll make this brief (if that’s possible in a post of this length lMAO), but how I think that MTT gets his power is either through electricity or, in a worst case scenario, gasoline mixed with magic. While I believe he can eat and drink monster food, it’s stored in an internal compartment before being broken down into manageable magic chunks over a series of several days. So, alcoholic beverages would give him at most a buzz over the course of like a couple of days.

That being said, there’s hope!!!

Remember when I said that I headcannon Metta runs on gasoline if he can’t get any electricity? Well, the means he can switch between which tank he’s drawing from. And, there is a type of gasoline made with a base of Ethanol! Which is the compound used to make drinks alcoholic! Therefore, the alcohol would be going to his core at the rate needed to actually get drunk.

Which means, if he wants to be drunk he can just switch into gasoline mode and slip into whatever tipsy needs he has! As long as he’s filled up on ethanol!

Now I’m not saying that this was found out by complete accident with Alphys testing out a new fuel type but.....

That’s exactly what I’m saying.

But!!! Yall didn’t come here to hear about Mettaton’s autonomy, so let’s talk about his drunken habits!!

I like to think he doesn’t drink often, mostly because of the aforementioned not actually realizing he could till he was on the surface. But, some of the best examples of how he is in a drunken state would probably be back when he was a ghost.

It was probably some rough times back then. Shyren’s sister had just fallen down, and it’s inplied the cousins are rather close with the family. Add in a healthy dose of dysphoria and yearning for a greater audience- no, purpose... It must’ve been rough for Metta.

Mabey to cope, the cousins invested in some ghost ale?

I like to think when buzzed, Mettaton is just a (somehow) more confident and showy version of himself. Just with less motor control and a higher chance of making impulsive decisions.

Once we pass into drunk territory... things start getting more emotional. There will be tears. Probably a lot of them. He’s very emotional and can and will state his mind. Heartfelt confessions might happen, rivalries may happen, or he may just tell you what you already know.

If the cousins cracked open a cold one.... Well.... That may of been the first indications (aside from behavior they’d picked up but not said anything about) of what was really on Metta’s mind. About how desperate he was.

Metta didn’t remember it in the morning. Blookie never told him what they talked about. It was never spoken of again.

Ok!! On a slightly higher note: Toriel!

I’ve always seen Toriel as having a very smooth sounding, mezzo soprano voice. It’s nothing remarkable. She doesn’t belt often, she doesn’t have much of a verbrato, she just sounds like your normal 50ish woman who sings abit too much in the car. But, her voice is warm and soft and perfect to fall asleep too, especially when a smile gets in the way of her vowels.

She sings fairly often, probably the most in the main cast (aside Mettaton and MABEY Papyrus). Be it in the car, or when she has too much to drink, or when singing a lullaby to her kids.

I’ll start with lullabies since I believe they’d be the most personal to her.

We don’t know exactly when the monster human war happened, but I’m of the belief that it happened sometime in the Middle Ages, which would place Toriel’s childhood in medieval times. While she wasn’t born there, I also think both Toriel and Asgore’s families hail from Ireland. Her mother would sing to her every night, sometimes mixing in ancient tales of wild beasts and faeries.

It’s a sentiment she’s passed down to her own children.

Albeit, she changed a few lyrics or scenes in the stories to make them less terrifying, besides when she was caring for some of the older souls. There may also be a touch more happy endings than there were in the older days, and mabey a couple more injuries instead of deaths. But for the most part, they stay the same.

The pieces she dare not change though, are the ones she sings in Gaelic.

Frisk hasn’t learned the language (yet), so Toriel finds no need to change any details to such relics. Plus, they have a lot more of an emotional connection than most of her other songs or stories. Her eldest two children were incredibly fond of them

(Also the song I used for these doodles is called Bó na leath-adhairce (One Horned Cow). The woman who sings it (Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh) sounds a lot like how I imagine Toriel sounding. But like. With a lot more vocal training. She still sounds like she’s singing through a smile and I love it)

On a much more fun note, let’s talk about Toriel’s drinking songs!

So, this doesn’t happen often, but if the moods right and Toriel’s had JUST enough to drink.... She might attempt to start up a drinking song with whatever crowd she’s got around her. She doesn’t know many songs, and she only half remembers the rest, but goddamn it if she’s not gonna try it.

It’s awful. Any recognizable lyrics are either slurred, butchered, or in a language no one else can understand.

But she looks like she’s having so much fun, no one ever tries to stop her.

Hell, some people might even join in, if there’s been enough to drink in the house. If that happens, and if she’s feeling confident enough, Tori might even get up and dance a little bit, dragging whomever she pleases in as well. If she’s drunk enough to start singing like this in public, then she’s definitely drunk enough to do some dances.

Mostly though, she just sticks to lullabies.

As for the second part of this prompt, it’s a lot simpler than all of the rest of this post. Toriel enjoys most music, especially the choral verity. She’ll let anything on the radio, so long as it’s appropriate when Frisk’s in the car.

Her favorite genres though, are Classical, Folk, and Celtic. They were the styles she grew up with and remains fond of to this day. They bring back a feeling of Nostalgia without too many memories, just how she likes it. She also quite enjoys Operas, and plans on taking Frisk to see one once she gets the hang of the internet.

She used to adore ballroom music and waltzes but....

Now they just bring back Memories she’d rather not have.
