I just read through your Red HCs (you've persuaded me v v successfully), and I'm just that much more curious! Which house are you, and the rest of the boys? I'm a slytherin myself, so I wonder who I'd have to share a dorm with.

Persuasion success! (ง •̀ω•́)ง✧ And ahhhh the headcanon button, it’s been pressed in me, I’m all too happy to dish a little more :) Personally, I’m a Hufflepuff! I’ve always considered myself one, tbh, which is probably why I’ve done a lot of analysis on more ‘accurate’ characterizing for the houses for a long time. Also, I heckin’ love Slytherin-Hufflepuff friendships and the hilarity that absolutely ensues, so high five there~!

As for the other guys, here’s the list:

UT Sans: Slytherin

His form of leadership isn’t the obvious kind; he’s the group-project leader who while cracking jokes subtly steers everyone away from disaster, and manages to get the slacker to pull his own weight. He may look and act like a slacker himself, but underneath it all - ambition of all kinds is still ambition. Sans is a guy who can do whatever he sets his mind to; in the past, he worked as a scientist, later, he got himself and his brother their house in Snowdin, then found a way to keep them stable while Papyrus chases his dreams. He’s cunning as hell, more resourceful than most realize (hotcat, anyone?), and it literally takes murder for him to break a promise made to a loyal friend.

UT Pap: Ravenclaw

Pap is one of the wittiest characters in-game (everyone forgets his wordplay game, somehow), not to mention his dedication to his craft - puzzles - and his dedication to learning anything that will help him be a great Guard are key hints here. He’s extremely into coming at things with creative solutions, and you’re in for one hell of a shock if you don’t expect this Tall Friend to run laps around anyone literally with his clever insight and knowledge-hungry approach to life.

UF Sans: Hufflepuff

See this post for the full details ;) but to copy my summary: He’s a big toasted marshmallow, not looking to show off guts or to gain glory or ultimate knowledge, but to have a good time with good company, and’ll occasionally make sure the little guy isn’t being taken advantage of if anyone makes that mistake around him.

UF Pap: Gryffindor

Tall Dark and Spiky is the bravest, most daring, and secretly absurdly chivalrous skeleton you’ve ever met. He takes action on honed instinct, and each day around him is an adventure of some kind - he gets a rush from breaking into the unknown, is resolutely and brashly himself without shame, and no matter how many people he rubs the wrong way, no one can deny the guy’s got the courage worthy of a whole pride of lions.

US Sans: Gryffindor

Blue’s one of the few that can put Edge’s courage to test, let’s be real - just in the sense of comparison. He’s a charmer, bold, and will always tell people what he thinks - and won’t hesitate to step in the line of danger to do the right thing as he sees it. He’s smarter than he looks, but craves adventure and exploration - even when he’s studying/learning, you’ll half the time find him out on the rooftop, soaking in the sun, or chasing after adventure under the guise, or perhaps motto, of applied learning. Nothing holds this skeleton back.

US Pap: Hufflepuff

Not unlike Red, Stretch isn’t going through life for guts or glory; above all else, he wants to share good times with good friends. He’s a smart one, too, and while he’s laid back and easy going nearly to a fault on a lot of things, the things he’s interested in or the people he cares about will receive the full force of how hard he can work - and man, if you’re able to witness it, it kind of blows you away. He’s dedicated to the core when he’s got his soul set, and too… isn’t above a bit of mischief to level the playing field.

SF Sans: Slytherin

Now, this isn’t because Black is some sort of ‘ultra evil’ - not in the slightest. No, see, Black is perhaps the most cunning, most resourceful skeletons out there- with the scientific inclination of a Sans and the energy and dedication to his pursuits of a Papyrus, he readily and capably takes charge of many relevant endeavors. He’s proud because he knows he’s good - but he’s also willing to get better. He wants to be the best in what he does, plain and simple; but he’s also fiercely loyal, and if you manage to get close enough to earn his, then you’ve got an ally who’s ride or die. He’s always got a grasp on what’s going on, as intel is one of his strongsuits - frankly put, he’s the guy who knows the latest and knows how to get a job done. Any job. And if he doesn’t know, he’ll figure it out through and through. Black’s the true jack of all trades.

SF Pap: Gryffindor

While Russ may not always be ‘brave’ for what society views as the ‘right’ reasons, he’s bold. Certainly less outspoken than others, he has a better eye for observation, and knowing what’s on - and perhaps that’s why he’s always around when the best, most interesting and fun mischief is going down. He’s unapologetically himself, even if he doesn’t open up easy; he knows he won’t change, but he’s got a love of the rush of new and the feeling of being true to your instincts that has him fitting right in among the lions… especially with that sharp grin of his.

HT Sans: Hufflepuff

He’s nothing if not patient. Whether by necessity or nature, he’ll wait it out- and out, and out. Loyalty’s his brand, though for the longest time it was lost to anyone but his brother - with less reliable magic and a spotty memory, hard work - however slow - is something he’s used to. Frankly, in a surface scenario, he’s a sweetheart under all the dangerous jagged edges, if only he could be given a proper chance and enough stability to feel like this all isn’t going to end up a dream. In the end, a sunny afternoon catnap with a late lunch, maybe some chill music in the background and laidback jokes with a friend… that’s all he wants.

HT Pap: Ravenclaw

The tallest, biggest of all the sweethearts here is the type of Ravenclaw that’s in love with creativity and learning period. Sure, Underground - he also proved how deadly smart he could be even in a famine, how clever he truly was - but in a better place, he just loves trying new things. His favorites tend to involve puzzle-like thinking, any crafting/creative pursuit; and he may or may not be world-record-skilled at Rube Goldberg machines. In the end, though, he just has a clever, creative way at approaching everything in life, and a knack for challenging the assumed ‘best way’ of approaching anything. Whether for fun or in genuinely seeing a better/more interesting way of tackling an issue.

and I’ll copy/paste my previous post’s quick breakdown of how I breakdown the Houses for easier reference as to why I made these decisions ;)

(in italics = the main canonical descriptions from the books, and below those are my expansions based on better/accurate characterization & analysis.)

Gryffindor:

brave, loyal, courageous, adventurous, daring and chivalrous

prioritizes: instinctive action, exploration of the unknown, the rush of doing something exciting/new, boldness, being true to yourself

what they aren’t: the only good guys, knights in shining armor, complete idiots that only rush in without thought, the only ones willing to Get It Done

Ravenclaw:

wisdom, intelligence, creativity, cleverness and knowledge

prioritizes: seeking new knowledge (of any preferred field); creative solutions (absolutely including MacGyver-ing); challenging the presumed standard/status quo whether boldly or quietly; their preferred topic over others

what they aren’t: super geniuses, jack-of-all-trades, the only ones holding the single brain cell the whole group shares, aloof holier-than-thou types

Hufflepuff:

valuing hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play

prioritizes: bonds with those they’re close to; Good Food, Good Drink, Good Company, Good Times™; the journey over the destination; a ‘fair shot’ (which may not look like ‘fair rules’ but could include questionable ‘levelling the playing field’ - a fair fight may include hair pulling or putting a brick in your purse…)

what they aren’t: the extras with nowhere else to go, total duffers/bland goody two-shoes, only here because they aren’t brave/smart/cunning, necessarily the nicest person you’ve ever met

Slytherin:

cunning, prideful, resourceful, ambitious, intelligent, and determined

prioritizes: clever approaches to a problem, leadership & being goal-oriented (large or small), speaking their mind (but holding their tongue if absolutely necessary), wit, cultivating personal interests, doing what it takes to get the job done, keeping a promise made, being aware of the lay of the land (real or metaphorical)

what they aren’t: … going to do is put up with This BS (whatever it may be); Evil™; the only ones to ever make questionable choices; completely content to live in a dank evil cave???; smooth charmers to a T (they definitely have niches)
