Tumblr media Tumblr media
They’re so me!!!
I think the horrors in my closet are finally fucking killing me one soldier has fallen to the mold and needed an emergency amputation I have yet to sew him back together and I think he needs a boiling hot bath to cure him of his ailment
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I will find his husband one day… stay strong soldier… I’ll save you and your husband who is probably trapped in a box in a garage on a [redacted] somewhere
I had to add two images because I don’t know how to resize images… if it’s even possible
They’re just like me for real!!!
I can’t stop listening to Gönül salıncağı by Erkin koray I’m dying it’s taking over my life mt life it’s taking over I have not been able to listen to anything other than Turkish rock and disco for checks watch 4 months
They’re just like me bbb !!!! JUST LIKE ME!!!!!! JUST LIKE ME!!!!!!
bats my eyelashes (I don’t have any I have trichotillomania) I love fictional people!!! I should draw 500 images of jean and Kim and put them on my wall and cover up the horrors… the horrors…. the horrors… the terror….
They are JUST like me! For real! disco Elysium has taken over my life
Taken over
Fork in the road
This may be worse than interview with the vampire
Iwtv plus disco Elysium changijg my life forever buddies
They are JUST LIKE ME!!!!
I need to draw Kim kitsuragi and Jean Vicquemare 2000 times and also Judit I LOVE JUDIT I LOVE JUDIT I LOVE JUSIT I LOVE JUDIT I LOVE JUDITT MINOT I LOVE JUDIT MINOT
They are literally me
I have a TON of acrylic paint and colored pencils and markers that I’ve accumulated from being an artist and having a family who don’t know what to get me at Christmas I could just make so much art of them but only of their portraits or perhaps of them in other poses and such
They are JUST LIKE ME!!!!!!!
I need to respond to the roleplay
Jena vicquemare but I draw him like the one octo dad photograph in the bedroom to the left of the door (I don’t have an image trust me: source my memory (my memory is bad at broad stroaks but really good at stuoid shit like the octodad photograph so it should be accurate))
I too am the most stinky man ever and also the gayest woman ever who has cut those fuck ass micro bangs and had a Bob too many times and dyed my hair 50726362 times (I turned a new leaf no more micro bangs no more bobs and If I need a dye it’ll be a green sink streak I MAKE THE RUKES)
I need ti respond to the roleplay
I need to respond to it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what are some random papyrus headcanons you currently have?
ooughwhhghgh anon you know the EXACT way to my heart. got a map to it and everything. a real good and fancy map. the ones with sea monsters in the corners
autistic adhd papyrus real
he tends to think of anything he doesn’t understand [and even some things he does!] in terms of puzzles, since they’re a lifelong special interest and they help him contextualise things! for instance if he’s navigating someplace he’s never been before it’s easier for him to visualise things as an incomplete map that he has to find the pieces [landmarks] of than it is to just wander until he finds his way or go up to someone and ask for directions [talking to people he doesn’t know very well is also a puzzle and he has more trouble solving that one because sometimes the clues lie to you]. this approach to things makes him astoundingly good at working through things logically, although between the difficulties applying this sort of thinking to unpredictable social situations and his occasional penchant for insane troll logic he doesn’t have a 100% success rate
in addition to this he’s a really visual thinker and can understand almost anything really quickly if he has a way to visualise it, whether it’s explicitly given to him or he thinks of one himself and suddenly goes OH I GET IT NOW. anything that doesn’t come with a coherent visual metaphor is borderline impossible for him to grasp, though. dude needs his diagrams
he likes playing video games, at least when he isn’t hyperfocused on his duties as a royal guard in training, and he tends to get an insane amount of mileage out of them because once he beats whatever objective the game explicitly gives him he’ll start making up his own self-imposed challenges or ‘puzzles’ instead. like if you gave him tetris he’d be super into the standard a-type and b-type modes, but once he gets tired of those he’ll start doing stuff like trying to play in time with the music, or without rotating any pieces, or painstakingly arranging incomplete lines so that the empty spaces form some kind of intricate pattern
gloves and especially scarves are a comfort accessory for him! even before/after the battle body is a thing and he’s wearing different clothes from one day to another pretty much every outfit he wears includes those accessories. if it’s too hot for a huge warm tightly-wrapped scarf he just grits his teeth and wears it anyway
the reason pap hates grease so much is that it sets off literally every single sensory issue he has. it sticks to you when you touch it just a little, it feels just as gross through your gloves, it’s hard to wash off, it stains your favourite scarf so you have to put it through the washing machine twice to make absolutely sure it doesn’t smell weird later and stress you out again, it has a gross taste that stays in your mouth for ages, it’s just the worst! how his brother stomachs the stuff he’ll never know [and it’s not because he doesn’t have a stomach, that doesn’t mean he can’t have standards either]
papyrus knows that sans suffers from depression, and he understands what that actually means as opposed to just having a surface-level grasp on ‘sans isn’t happy as often as he should be’. the issue isn’t that he doesn’t understand or desperately want to help, he does, but the sheer magnitude of sans’ issues is just substantially more than papyrus has any frame of reference for. the best he knows how to do is to be as blisteringly positive as possible in hopes that some of it will rub off on sans, while also refusing to enable any of the lazy or blatantly self-destructive habits sans has that papyrus can tell aren’t making him feel any better. short motherfucker needs a trained therapist and/or antidepressants more than anything but papyrus is doing everything he can, and while papyrus being papyrus is already enough to keep sans going he’s helping as much as he does specifically because of the deliberate effort he makes to beat sans’ depression over the head with a bone until it runs off hissing
wow that one got long lmao sorry i just really hate when people portray papyrus as completely oblivious to sans’ problems when he’s pretty strongly hinted to understand them to at least some degree and 1. it literally makes for such a better story on both the heartwarming and crushingly tragic ends of the spectrum if pap knows and is doing his best to help 2. even if it didn’t people are still deliberately ignoring huge chunks of papyrus’ characterisation in favour of portraying him as the smol little innocent cinnamon roll uwu bean who doesn’t understand anything and y’all have got to realise the implications of forcing this personality on the most heavily autistic coded character in the game :|
on a more lighthearted note, papyrus can reluctantly but wholeheartedly appreciate a good pun or cleverly-planned prank, he just knows that sans likes getting a rise out of people with them and goes with his instinct to groan over his instinct to laugh because it makes sans happy. sans is completely aware that papyrus is doing this, so there’s an unspoken self-aware undertone to their whole routine lmao
whenever papyrus, sans, and undyne are together they have this wacky dynamic where they’re all constantly tossing the straight man role around like a hot potato and i want a dumb sitcom about the three of them living in the skeleton household that goes absolutely mental with this wacky dynamic and god damn it i’ll write it myself if i have to
papyrus gets to kin me for this one, there’s like a single phineas and ferb dvd that fell into the underground a few years ago that made its way to him in one way or another [sans probably gave it to him with no way of predicting the special interest hell [positive] he was about to unleash] and he immediately became obsessed. he can recite entire episodes from memory because he watched them so many times the audio got burned into his brain. his favourite character is doof and he considers the annoying dog his personal perry the platypus. when he gets to the surface and finds out that there’s like 200 more episodes he cries with happiness
aroace papyrus also real
it’s getting late so i’m going to leave this here but i am always down to talk about papyrus. i fuckin love papyrus so much guys

Ya know that au where Mrs.Benedict aka wu’s pet thunderchicken is like perry the platypus with like Garmadon as doofenshmirtz? My mom and I have been listening to the song “There’s a platypus controlling me” so I made a shitty lyric edit. Lloyd: Dad?
Garmadon: Oh, hi, Lloyd!
Lloyd: Dad, what are you doing?
Garmadon: Well I'll be honest, I don't really understand
But I fell down this hill now I got glue on my hands
And I got records on my fingers
Teens: Whaaat?
Garmsdon: Records on my fingers
I got records on my fingers and I just can't stop
Teens: Don't stop
Garmadon: I can't stop, I got a thunder chicken controlling me
Teens: Whaaat?
Garmadon: I got a thunder chicken controlling me
Now let me sum it up
It was a strange set of circumstances
Teens: Strange set of circumstances
Garmadon: I fell down the hill, I got glue on my hands,
now I got records on my fingers and I just can't stop
Teens: Don't stop! Don't stop!
Garmadon: Well I would if I was able
There's a thunder chicken controlling me, he's underneath the table
Teens: There's a thunder chicken controlling him- WHAAAT?
Teen: Oh I get it, thunder chicken is a metaphor for whatever is keeping you down!
Like corporations are a thunder chicken
Teens: The government's a thunder chicken
Your teacher is a thunder chicken
Weird Teen: My teacher is a dragon
Teens: Society's a thunder chicken
My parents are a thunder chicken
The media's a thunder chicken
It's all just propaganda
Yeah we've all got a thunder chicken controlling us
Garmadon: No, just me
Teens: We've all got a thunder chicken controlling us
Garmadon: I'd stop if I was able
Teens: We've all got a thunder chicken controlling us
Garmadon: I'm not speaking metaphorically
the thunder chicken controlling me is underneath the table
Wait! Oh wait, no, she's gone! Heyyy!
There's no thunder chicken controlling me.
There's no thunder chicken controlling me!
Well alright then.

Hi!💖💖
Give me a bunch if you want to and make it as chaotic as you want, i love chaotic!
YEEESS! Thank you for enabling me aaah! Let's get into it!
It's starting off pretty interesting already!
Yo Girl from Heathers: The Musical
This right here is everything: Veronica’s running on, running on fumes now / Veronica’s totally fried / Veronica’s gotta be tripping on ‘schrooms now / Thinking that she can hide / Veronica’s done for, there’s no doubt now / Notify next of kin! / Veronica’s trying to keep him out now / TOO LATE! / He got in!
PLEASE! It's fast paced, showcasing Veronica’s panic (there's this animatic i saw of her running up a long staircase and it's all I can see when I hear this). The voices and the instruments constantly getting higher in pitch, reaching a crescendo when they sing TOO LATE, and lowering into nothing but the voices whispering "he got in" SHIT DUDE. And then JD says "knock knock" and there's violins playing this creepy, suspenseful sound. It's so ominous, I love it! Really helps amp up the stakes.
I'll put a read more right here because this might get long lol
Desperado by Rihanna
These lines from the chorus: There ain't nothin' here for me / There ain't nothin' here for me anymore / But I don't wanna be alone
This is going to get a bit personal, but I've always wanted to leave where I am. It's not like it's bad here, it just doesn't feel like home. But I don't know a place that would make me feel like I belong, and the loneliness would just intensify if I ended up in a foreign place alone. It doesn't necessarily match with the full context of the song, but it's a line that's always stuck with me. The whole song is such a vibe though! It's dark and intense, makes me wanna write angst!
Ain't Got Rhythm from Phineas and Ferb
And here it is! I'm not even mad at this one, its a bop! (But I won't tell you how often I listen to this cartoon's discography👀)
This line in the second verse: I have no idea what you're talking about / I've got as much rhythm as that chair
It kills me because he points at a ROCKING CHAIR. The drummer's verses kill me, he's just contradicting himself with every line💀
OH MY GOD ITS ALL COMING OUT NOW IM CRYING
There's A Platypus Controlling Me from Phineas and Ferb
I learnt this entire song as soon as the episode came out! It was so hype dude! I remember rapping it in primary school while we were moving classes! We were all cramped up by the stairs trying to get to the third floor with our big ass bags; I started singing it and everybody joined in! They started hollering when I rapped all the way to the end of the scene, when Doofenshmirtz is like "She thinks I'm cool!"
Daaamn...memories.
Anyway, here's my favorite lines: Oh I get it, platypus is a metaphor for whatever is keeping you down. Like, corporations are a platypus / Kids: The government's a platypus / Your teacher is a platypus / Weird Kid: My teacher is a panda / Kids: Society's a platypus / My parents are a platypus / The media's a platypus / It's all just propaganda
Lmao like this man is singing about a literal platypus controlling him and the kids turn it into this deep, metaphorical thing. This is where Gen Z gets it from💀
Fairytale by Alexander Rybak
Aah I first heard this in an amv for tmnt💀 Wooow, how times have changed.
The entirety of the second verse: Every day we started fighting / Every night we fell in love / No one else could make me sadder / But no one else could lift me high above / I don't know what I was doin' / But suddenly we fell apart
This isn't even really about the lyrics, I just love the way it's sang! He's accompanied by this small choir of feminine voices and the harmonies there just really do it for me. The violin in this song is amazing! It gives me 'pirates making a stop at a rowdy bar' vibe.

actually "There's a Platypus controlling me" is the much more relatable P&F song. He's right there, underneath the table
