a freakshow, on fire

GO MY 10 THOUSAND CHARAS.

anyways yes lmfao here:

AQUA: definitely the hardest, mostly because she was also the first. She's WAYYYY too clingy for their liking, but because she's the first they're still WAY too scared to let her cling to any of their monster family, and thus they kind of become her de facto parental figure. This is not a good combination in any sense of the word. She does not respond well to yelling or discipline in general and chara has too short a fuse to be a gentle parent. it's a constant cycle of arguments and quiet non-apologies from both sides until they both finally figure out how to chill out a little, but neither of them really have a choice in the matter, so they make it work as best they can.

SETH: everyone really expects these two to get along because they're both fucking annoying little know-it-alls. unfortunately chara likes to be the only fucking annoying little know-it-all in the room and also is really really really bad at dealing with someone who is confidently wrong. as mentioned, asriel finds this HILARIOUS. he gets in trouble multiple times for deliberately instigating arguments between them because he figures out really quickly that neither of them will EVER back down once they've taken a side. toriel resorts to secluding them on opposite sides of the house and removing all the dictionaries from her bookshelves.

BLUE: chara really does not fuck with his vibe tbh. WAY too sincere and earnest and vulnerable for their liking. the idea of freely expressing themself in any form makes them physically nauseous. Blue clocks this immediately and attempts to very very gently pry that facade open whenever possible. occasionally it works but mostly it doesn't. Asriel becomes a somewhat valuable tool here because he's simultaneously The Only Person Chara Completely Trusts and also totally down to engineer a Situation. So blue can get him to go "oh come onnnnn chara you're such a good actor PLEASEEEEE be in this musical with us cmonnnnn" and chara will, almost without fail, give it at least one reluctant try. chara is fully aware that they are being manipulated into expressing themself but have yet to find a foolproof way to stop it from happening

YELLOW: the suicide joke was inevitable. But i do truly think that chara would be excited to have a Worse Kid to take the negative attention off them for a while. their parents have spent like 10 years getting really really uncomfortably tense and shooting them concerned looks any time anyone brings up the concept of flowers. finally they can worry about the kid with the revolver instead of chara for once. outside of that i think chara would just kind of. find him boring. it's not fun to mess with a kid that either doesnt understand what you're saying or will actually blow his brains out if you take it too far. they mostly leave each other alone with the exception of chara's occasional interactions with blue, in which yellow is essentially a booby trap for them to dodge because if they say anything too mean someone is going to get hurt lmfao

GREEN: literally nothing bad to say about them. they're kind of chara's ideal sibling in that they're quiet and chill. plus they introduce chara to a world of new uses for chocolate. chara very quickly discovers that they kind of suck at cooking (what do you MEAN you can't use the highest possible temperature for everything???) but they don't really mind just standing by and watching if it means they get something sweet at the end.

everyone lives AU in which, 10 years or so after chara first falls into the underground, reports begin to surface of another human roaming the ruins... and of course prince asriel can't leave well enough alone.

(bonus: their respective punishments)

[image id: A piece of Little Nightmares 2 fanart. It is a long and vertical artwork broken up into two images. It is black and white, in the style of rough inks and woodcuts. It incorporates a quote from Watership Down, using the text in the artwork.

In the first section, the Hunter levels a shotgun at Mono as he runs through the forest. There is the silhouette of a bear trap in the foreground. The text reads, “All the world will be your enemy…”

In the second section, Mono stands in the middle of an illuminated circle, dragging a hammer behind him. On his left are the Bullies with their porcelain heads shattered open. On his right are the disembodied and the plastic hands from the Patients.  The text reads, “… prince with a thousand enemies…”

In the third section is a complex montage. On the left side, Mono looks over his shoulder up at the Thin Man, the Transmission Tower and other warped skyscrapers. In the middle, Mono leaps and reaches for Six, who holds out her hand from a ledge above him while the Tower’s eyes watch. The exit portal of the Transmission Tower is behind her. The text reads, “And when they catch you, they will kill you. But first…”

In the fourth section, Six grasps Mono’s hand as he dangles from the ledge. They are drawn small in a black void. The text reads, “… they must catch you.” end id]

and if i said i think the flowers are representations of kris and their issues?
