Concepts I Would Like To Explore From Killer's Original Story:

Rough sketch developed for my personal Fell!Sans design >:3c

Notes on his personality:

[For determining how I want him to act, I first wrote out a description of what I think the original Sans’s motivations, values, and mindsets are, with some added miscellany. Afterwards, I modified it based on how my concept of a Fell AU might push him in one direction or another.]

Humorous; enjoys jokes and banter. F!Sans is even more careful about playing to his audience than in UT – raucous bars vs. dinner party intelligentsia. Pranks aren’t taken with much grace in Fell, so he’s not whipping out the whoopee cushions. And he’s only intentionally annoying with people he’s really comfortable with, when he knows it will be received with affectionate exasperation, or in situations where it would be advantageous to charm and amuse someone at someone else’s expense.

He’s not above using mean-spirited humor to slight someone, either for social clout or to put someone in their place, but he’ll always do something to smooth it over later. Best to stay on people’s good sides as much as possible.

Observant, especially of expressions/body language

Scientific / intelligent / curious

Social, likes making friends – socializes enough to be widely known and to make a good impression. This is his survival strategy of choice. Allows him to keep abreast of any potential threats through a wide information network. He genuinely wants to connect with people, but understands that actual trust can be dangerous – there’s no guarantee of loyalty or good will from anyone.

Cheats and lies to get the upper hand (cunning & innovative). Can manipulate time and space / break the game mechanics to do this. Fucks around with this even more in Fell

Resigned; there’s no future so all he can do is enjoy the present with the people he cares about (esp. Papyrus) He works harder at making sure F!Papyrus knows he is reliable

Might not do much more work at the sentry stations than in UT, since sentry work is boring to him, but certainly keeps up the appearance of doing more work, enough to be on Undyne’s good side and to be respectable.

Maybe less of a salesman grifter and more into bets, gambling, and what seem like games of chance? Absolutely uses his timespace fuckery to his advantage, but intentionally loses just often enough to avoid suspicion.

He’s probably been depressed for most of his life, so sleeping in his free time to escape isn’t new. However, he has to put a lot of time into keeping up a presence with others, so he has fewer opportunities for sleep. Has maintained better physical condition out of necessity, but still prefers to shortcut than walk if he doesn’t need to stop and socialize along the way. Also still eats like garbage.

Strong feelings about promises (some kind of trauma?)

Just as, if not more, internally conflicted than in UT about whether “tend and befriend” or “the best defense is a strong offense” is the better survival strategy – and about which one he wants more based on his own feelings/principles

Still will not violently confront you no matter how many people you kill, until his back’s against the wall because the world might end entirely)

Kinda judgmental (I mean, obviously lkasdf;lj) and varies in passive aggression/implied accusations vs. bluntness - Definitely nastier about this than in UT, though his standards are probably a little different given the world. [How much does he actually care about non-violence? Does it hinge on whether he thinks a person deserves it or it’s “necessary”?]

Can be confrontational and meddlesome, but how much of his following the player around and being helpful is him adhering to the promise and how much is his natural desire to help? Is he wanting to help the player or is he keeping an eye out on behalf of his fellow monsters? It’s probably a mix of all of these things. Although he typically has a confident, easygoing swagger and doesn’t pick fights, he is more aggressive in responding to people who intentionally provoke him. It doesn’t pay to be timid in Fell. And everyone knows that he can and will meddle in their affairs if he has some incentive to do so.

DOES seem to be genuinely invested in being helpful, especially towards Papyrus, but also with Alphys. Is very generous – often out of true goodwill and concern for others, but also because it “buys” him goodwill from others… at least enough for a tip-off or occasional favor.

Enjoys the limelight, but does not seek leadership Deeply caring and sentimental; sometimes the affectionate things he does seem to be in secret

Doesn’t talk much about himself. Distrusting and unwilling to be vulnerable, given how precarious social connections are. With the people he does trust, he wants to seem strong, competent, and reliable, and so avoids vulnerability even with them. All of this is incredibly lonely for him.

Miscellany: Enjoys food and is an adventurous eater (OR is just making shit up about human food to entertain his neighbors in Snowdin lasdfj;sfja)??? But always orders the worst burger off the menu?

Is an entertainer at the MTT resort

Cares more about appearances than UT Sans; how he presents himself is intentional and based on how he wants people to think about and respond to him

Probably does not scratch his ass in public

This version of Fell Sans and Papyrus have more genuine, transparent affection for each other than in many depictions of Fell. Heightened danger has made them close allies.

HC: What Kennyo would think of the Warlords if he were allied with  them – Pt. II: Takeda-Uesugi Alliance

Had fate played out differently and Kennyo allied with the Oda Forces, or joined the Takeda-Uesugi alliance without his brothers killed and Hongan-Ji razed first, or was simply a neutral party hanging out in either Azuchi or Kasaguyama Castle, this might be what he thinks of everyone (I guess it’s Kennyo’s “Another Ikemen Sengoku,” haha~):

[Pt. I: The Oda Forces]

The Takeda-Uesugi Alliance:

Kennyo weeps with joy, relief and gratitude when he finds out Shingen is still alive. He hurries to Echigo, hardly stopping for rest; upon arriving, Shingen tells him he looks terrible. Kennyo holds it together long enough to shoot back that Shingen looks remarkably well for a wandering ghost (“I shouldn’t be surprised that your preening to impress women carried on to the afterlife–”), but when Shingen grins and opens his arms, Kennyo can’t help but give him the biggest bro hug.

They’ve mostly resumed where they left off, spending evenings drinking and contemplating the world when things are peaceful enough (though, as usual, there’s a mismatch in their preferred subjects of contemplation and they rib each other for it). Beneath their long, meandering talks, Shingen worries about Kennyo’s increasing distress as he desperately tries to keep Hongan-Ji safe, and Kennyo worries about the cold bitterness growing in Shingen’s heart that demands vengeance for his home and clan. Of course, both of them insist that they are fine.

Kennyo is also grateful for Yukimura’s diligent care of his good friend. Though he lightly admonishes Yuki now and again for his lack of forethought in speaking to others, Kennyo sees him as a valiant, upstanding young man and a fine leader. Of course, that doesn’t stop him from having a chuckle at Yukimura’s expense when he bickers with Sasuke, Shingen, and Kenshin, but he makes up for it by having Yuki’s back against Shingen’s “get me candy or I’ll die” nonsense, and by giving Shingen significant [read: smug] “you should listen to the boy” looks when Yuki tells him to stop being weird towards women. Sometimes, when Yukimura is feeling especially worried about Shingen, he’ll talk to Kennyo as a confidante and adviser.

Like everyone else, Kennyo finds Sasuke odd, but strangely charismatic, as Sasuke is mature, respectful, well-spoken, thoughtful, insightful, and obviously capable as a ninja. They are very formal and courteous with one another, and Kennyo is always willing to answer Sasuke’s many questions, though he finds the other man a bit elusive and puzzling. Kennyo is used to being able to read people and to people opening up to him, but that’s not the case with Sasuke–the ninja has a remarkably stoic demeanor and seems to hover just out of reach. Kennyo wonders about the well-being of a man with so many secrets (and one sworn to Kenshin, at that), but is content to let him be, knowing that Sasuke will open up on his own time if help is needed.

Kenshin and Kennyo have a…strained relationship. Kennyo intensely disapproves of Kenshin’s warmongering and his penchant for attempting to kill his own vassals (noticeably, Sasuke). He’s had to fend off some of the warlord’s spontaneous “tests” himself, and his snarling reprimands when he pushes back don’t seem to phase Kenshin. Ultimately, Kennyo just ends up disgruntled at his own failure to remain temperate. As much as Kenshin’s lust for violence rankles him, Kennyo senses the warlord’s fractured sense of self, and worries deeply for him. Now and again he tries to engage Kenshin in conversation, but Kenshin’s refusal to talk about anything that doesn’t revolve around fighting, sake, or pickled plums bludgeons his patience until he has to leave, unless Kenshin gets bored and leaves (or attacks him) first.

Out of curiosity, I noticed that your Killer document has been passed around for those who wanted to learn more about the character though noticed that you didn’t put your username or credited yourself in the document. Did you forget to who include who made the document or is there other reasonings behind that?

To be honest, I just didn't think about it. Since it's a resource document, not an original creative work, I didn't think about wanting credit for it -- I'm happy enough if people are finding it useful and enjoyable. But if there's worries that I'm passing around someone else's work as mine, I went ahead and added "Compiled by @Nyktoon on tumblr" under the title on the doc now, to put minds at ease. And if anyone hasn't seen the doc before but is curious, here it is! It's a compilation of all the Killer Sans posts from Rahaf, his original creator, that I could find and link at the time. While we're at it, I'll also link the tumblr post I first released it on.

If I recall correctly, @dmanix made a joke in a server that someone should draw this concept, and I thought, hey, I'm someone!

The background is transparent, so feel free to size it down to use as a sticker, emoji, icon, etc. ♡

Here they are... just a couple a’ silly bros...

@motherbugmoart​ requested Red & Snyk angst in the “my wife fucking left me” palette from @m-chromatic​‘s palette challenge. @kuroshiro101 and @archiarthur referenced the meme, though, and I couldn’t help but take it in a more silly direction asdlfjsadlljksad I think I’m pretty happy with it! Thanks to everyone who helped inspire this piece! -^^-

Birthday attack for the wonderful @motherbugmo of her au Papyrus, Script/Papillon! He is the best boy!!! ♡♡♡
