👓🔭🎯💝
👓A general appearance headcanon.
Quite tall, thin, and prefers to wear tailored, fashionable clothes (mostly suits). He has sharpish, gaunt features, and somewhat catlike eyelights. As a skeleton/mummy hybrid he doesn’t have nearly the amount of exposed bone a pure skeleton would. Both his flesh and bone are extremely similar in appearance and texture so they meld together.
🔭 Which field of science does he specialize in?
Physics (especially the study of timespace and chrono-topography), magical theory, and engineering, most recently. As his career has spanned hundreds of years, he’s expanded and shifted his focus as needed.
🎯 What is he like in a fight?
If against a human: Quick, dominating, precise. He wants it over and done with. He learned during the War that dragging out a fight is a dangerous indulgence. He’ll attack with more force than he thinks is technically necessary, because it’s better to err on the side of caution and kill the human quickly.
If against a fellow monster: Assuming it’s any kind of fight in earnest, he prefers to either intimidate the other into giving up before they start, or otherwise convince them to resolve things in a more civil manner. If he must fight, he’ll usually choose the same quick, powerful style mentioned before. He’ll do his damnedest not to kill his opponent, though he’s not adverse to beating them up enough that they’ll seriously reconsider challenging him again.
💝 A love headcanon.
For the most part, he’s along the lines of aromantic/asexual (possibly something else would fit better, I just haven’t found it yet). He’s pretty much oblivious to anyone trying to flirt with him, more likely to take a comment literally that’s meant to be euphemistic, or become annoyed if someone is too sappy or clingy or demands too much of his time/attention. He especially doesn’t like to be interrupted for what he considers no good reason. If he does manage to catch on that someone’s trying to flirt with him or be romantic, he’ll do his best to deflect their interest or make his disinterest known as politely as possible.
In the main timeline, he does briefly consider marrying as a social obligation but ultimately decides against it. He concludes this particular contribution is unnecessary and his attention is better spent on his work. In the Grillster timelines, he still doesn’t experience romantic love or sexual attraction, but a few changes in the events of those timelines leads him to choose a more intimate relationship with one of his dearest friends.

The Red String Souls Soundtrack - Immortals (Fall Out Boy)
This song started out associated with an old idea that I never managed to flesh out, where Gaster, Chara, and Asriel were all stuck in the Void together. Over time, as I started developing [redacted], it began to stick in my head as more appropriate to him instead. Now I can’t listen to the song without imagining my nasty little Void-dweller as he claims yet another Voided Gaster.

The Red String Souls Soundtrack - The Sound of Silence (Disturbed version)
A long time ago, a friend of mine introduced me to the idea of collecting songs into a sort of ‘soundtrack’ for stories and characters. I’ve built up one around Dee and his particular universe. The Sound of Silence is a song I associate strongly with Dee, a kind of personal anthem about his feelings of his work and the state of monsterkind and just... everything.

[Art request: 4/?] Conversation
Here’s @devon-aster ‘s request with Dee and Grillby talking about their little ghost rider kids. (Check out their @red-string-souls for more info on the pair.)
It’s been a couple of months since I did anything digital, decided that it was time to play with colour/textures. :U
[Timelapse: ???]
Yesssss. Thank you so much! Look at grumpy old man and his flame :3 Thank you for all the work you put into it! It’s lovely!
Dusting off some Asks
I never meant to take such a long hiatus, but things went all wonky and pear-shaped out in the real world. As it does at times. These Asks have been gathering dust and I always meant to answer them, so here they are. I apologize for using strictly text answers, but it’s what I’m able to do right now.
So here’s more from the good Doctor (base canon version)!
Er...
So, I basically up and disappeared from this blog for a while. I apologize for that.
Emergency Discount Commissions by xxdhxx
My friend xxdhxx is doing emergency discount commissions. She’s a lovely person whose health has had serious affect on her income =( . Her art is beautiful stuff! If you prefer crafts, she also has an etsy shop. If you don’t have much but would still like to help, her Patreon has some super cheap tiers =O . If you can’t spare anything but would like to help, a signal boost is always appreciated!
Thank you for reading!

Due to life stuff and being sick, I haven’t had the energy to do something new for @silverskye13 ‘s Grillstember thing. So here is another sketch I did a while ago. I have a semi-colored version that remains unfinished, partly because I got stuck on how I wanted to color some of it, and partly because I stumbled across a very similar picture someone else did with Sans.
Grillby’s was something of a retreat for Dee, a place he went in between the social whirlwind of Home and Asgore’s court, and his demanding work in Hotland Lab. Often coming in late to avoid being a disruption in Grillby’s business, he would spend time either visiting with his friend or enjoying the quiet company while Grillby did his closing routine.
RP Snippets - The Dream
So... anybody up for a little story time? The Grillster Shipping Month thing started by @silverskye13 has been a good excuse for me to drag out various Grillster bits and bobs I’ve collected, along with doing some new stuff. A couple of those bits are things I wrote sort of as filler/world-building interludes for an RP that DH and I did. I don’t know if they make much sense on their own, but heck, I thought I might toss them up for funsies.
Grillster doodles! The ones in black are older, you can see the change in how I drew Grillby’s head. The ones in blue are technically Gemini Grillster but they’re going here for now.
The top left sketch actually got done as a finished piece. You can see it here.
The bottom center one probably doesn’t make much sense out of context. During chats with DH, we came up with the idea that Grillby does photography as a hobby. Dee is more than willing to volunteer so he can practice his portrait taking XD . This just a little scene of them messing around after a session.
I’LL FALL WITH YOU
(Phew, finally done! For @thelovelykitchensink, a response from my own Grillster version of Dee =).
I was originally going to color this, but it was looking pretty off so I dumped the coloring for simple black and white. Sadly, this means Papyrus’ flames ended up hard to see =( .)
@red-string-souls @grillbysbarandrestaurant Thank you for responding. My son in law and I thank you.
You’re welcome! Best of luck to Grillby! Feel free to drop another message later, if you want =) .

A thank you and a note on asks
‘Ellooo. I wanted to extend another thank you to those who have sent asks since I’ve started doing them. It gave me a chance to try out something new.
For now, however, I’m temporarily halting the ask/answer thing. I have a few recent ones in my inbox that I will get to, though it’s likely to take longer than usual.
Part of the reason is that I’ve been basically low level tired for a while in a way I haven’t been able to shake. I don’t know if it’s depression, or a need to try vitamin supplements again, or the fairly constant bouts of allergies, or a combination of things. It just makes it difficult to focus long enough to see each answer project through in one push and difficult to pick them up again if I stop part way.
The other part of the reason is I get the feeling that the ask answers aren’t particularly interesting to most of my followers. Which is understandable. While I had originally considered doing this as an askblog, it pretty quickly turned into an art and very occasional writing repository. There’s no coherent framing narrative to latch onto, no setup to hook into. Just a sort of free-floating, answer from a vague point in the timeline, no set rules on how exactly this is supposed to be working. Not everyone likes askblog things and not everyone finds them easy to get into.
For those who might still be interested in an askblog involving Dee (and Grillby!), I have been working on a concept that will have an actual dedicated askblog with proper setup. Due to the whole constant tiredness thing and some other life stuff, its opening has been delayed beyond what I meant. But I still plan on doing it and will post when it’s officially ready for followers/asks!
Thank you again to anybody who took the time to send in asks, it was very much appreciated and a lot of fun to work on!
WHISPER NOTHING
(Wanted to contribute at least one picture to Grillstember. I came up with this mess. Ah well.)
