I Have A Scene For You From Your Post About Cross Needing Loving Parents:

I have a scene for you from your post about Cross needing loving parents:

Imagine as a little kid he spends all day drawing pictures of him and xgaster and Papyrus and the Dreemurrs etc. and proudly goes to show xgaster his work. He probably looks them over and says something about it being a waste of paper and tells Cross to go dispose of them, so he goes out to put them in the trash can. As he’s reaching up to dump them in all heartbroken, Toriel comes over to give him a hand and sees a drawing he did of her and Asgore and is all “Is this me?? And Asgore?? Why it’s beautiful! Oh, may I keep it?” and Cross is still kind of sniffly and sad but says sure. Then Toriel is like “well you’ll have to sign it, I want everyone who sees it to know who the artist is!” and brings him inside to make him sign the drawing and watch her put it on the fridge all proud (and probably offers him something sweet since he’s started crying again from the attention)

actually crying and sobbing thank you so much for this,,, ghhhh he deserves a happy moment with a parental figure at LEAST once!!!!! i love the idea that xtoriel gave cross some room to feel safe and loved as a child bc he needs and deserves it,, he got soft warm hugs as a kid from her and only cold glares from his dad but at least he got the soft warm hugs that’s all that matters.

cross’ best memories probably took place at her and asgore’s house,,,, cross probably misses her as much as he does papyrus and alphys bc,,, bc she was like a mother figure to him,,, meeting the toriel in the underswap timeline in underverse would’ve hurt in that case owie :(((( AND HOW HE LIKE TEARED UP AT THAT PART I CANNOT KEEP DOING THIS TO MYSLEF i’m gonna cry again goddammit.

do u think cross ever has dreams of her being alive and hugging him and then he wakes up painfully alone and cold? do you think as a kid he gave her a card for mother’s day, and now as an adult, every mother’s day that passes all he can think of is how she made him feel loved during an otherwise terrible childhood? he canonically likes and can make butterscotch-cinnamon pie, do you think he makes it whenever he misses her, to feel only a scrap of the warmth she gave him as a child?

thank u for this. this makes me feel better but also ache inside
