#lcitn lore

and if they do how would they react to someone who makes it obvioussss they wanna kiss

like a softened demeanor, hooded eyes,the works yknow? and of course we'd want more than one!

have a good day/night

I deny you guys kisses for a few chapters and it comes to this /j

But yes, all of them minus Error love kissing/nuzzling.

Killer kisses you the most, and will shower you in them first thing in the morning. (He also will nuzzle everyone on the team when he can).

When he can tell you want a kiss, he’ll playfully flirt with you and stall for a bit before finally kissing you. But don’t expect him to be satisfied with just a peck.

Horror is the best at reading expressions. He can tell what you want, and he ain’t one to deny you it.

His favourite place to kiss is in the gardens, with you curled up on his chest. Long, lazy kisses that turn into you falling asleep in his embrace. It’s too adorable.

Dust only likes to fully kiss when no one (minus Horror) is looking. Private nuzzles before missions or in the early hours of the morning are his favourite. He probably wouldn't understand human body language at first. Horror never dances around the fact that he wants attention—he just goes for it. But he likes it... the softness.

He also likes watching you and Horror kiss… or all kissing at once…

Cross loves kissing but also always gets flustered by it even years into your marriage. Making it obvious you want to kiss rather than just going for it is a surefire method to mess with him. He doesn't want to come across as impatient or too demanding, so whenever you do this, he always waits for you to commit to the kiss before reciprocating, even if he can hardly stand the suspense.

He is absolutely the type to ask for kisses like he's in an old romance novel, but with nuzzles he's much more casual.

Nightmare is also the type to occasionally ask for kisses all novel-style, but with his empathy ability he always knows when you want one, sometimes even before you've fully registered it. Chances are, you're already being kissed before you can even make hooded eyes at him.

Absolutely!!! While they do get on each other's nerves, and their relationship is bound to grow volatile once Dust learns about Reader's relationship with Killer, they do love each other and are actually quite close.

When Dust first joined Nightmare, he absolutely hated Killer, and the feeling was quickly reciprocated. The fact that Killer worked with the player while Dust sacrificed everything trying to stop them drives him mad. More than once he abandons a misson or disappears from the castle for days, swearing he's not coming back. He only does because of Horror.

Killer hated him because he thought he had a superiority complex. What right did Dust have to judge him, when his own LV was that high? When he's so haunted by his actions that he hears Papyrus whispering in his ear at night? Killer made the best of the shitty hand the creator's dealt him just as well as Dust had. It also didn't help that Dust blatantly went against his orders during missions, to the point where they would fight each other instead of whatever enemies they were facing.

Their relationship started to cool when they'd catch each other up at night, unable to fall asleep or dissociating in the living room. Killer would sit a cup of tea in front of Dust, because it's what Nightmare always did for him, while Dust would wrap a blanket around Killer's shoulders. Eventually, Dust started wiping the determination from Killer's face.

Horror and Nightmare began to subtly feed them information about each other, until they sought it out themselves and accepted the differences in how they handled their AU's genocides.

Horror would never have agreed to go with Nightmare if it left Snowdin, Toriel, and his brother in a bad place. So Nightmare made a deal with him—come work for him, and Nightmare would move anyone he wished to an empty AU. One without humans to make things… simpler.

Took this as an opportunity to make one big post on what-ifs for pregnancy/babies/children

As mentioned briefly in this ask, the boys are not too concerned with having children, and half of them could not be bothered to care for a child (Error, Killer, and Dust). Getting them all on board with the idea would take years of discussions and planning for just about every aspect of having a kid.

Even then, Error wouldn’t want direct involvement until the child was old enough to understand and respect boundaries, and Killer would be far more focused on your health, only getting interested once he realizes all the “exciting” things he can teach them (knives and robbery). Dust would get on board with most bad decisions regarding their education, and might grow to enjoy their company once they’re old enough to go stargazing and hold a conversation.

Cross, Horror, and Nightmare would be more on board with the colossal task of actually raising a child, though they’d all have things to work through considering their pasts, and in Nightmare and Cross’ cases, complicated family relationships.

During pregnancy:

You are well taken care of by all of the boys. Monster pregnancies are formed of magic, not matter. Even as a human, you would experience far less of the typical physical symptoms; instead, you would primarily be fatigued due to the constant drain of your magic. Magic from both parents is required for the pregnancy to be sustained; thus, you would nearly always need at least one of the others in the room with you. Whether they’re the biological father matters little—your soul knows they are all your husbands, and would take magic from any of them.

Though I also wonder- could one hypothetically make their partners more handmade jewlery/things after marriage or is it exclusively for engagement bc I love making ppl things including jewlery and if I could do that for someone I think I'd be. Mega sad tbh. Oh fuck now that I think about it would that mean I'd have to stop giving that sort of thing to friends? Maybe mobster marriage isn't worth it... /j

Follow up to this ask.

It would be.... very difficult to propose to the boys first. Primarily because of the ridiculous jealousy that would emerge over who you gave jewelry to first. You'd likely have to do some joint proposal towards all of them at once. It would end up being so overly formal they'd immediately realize you absolutely know what you're saying by giving them the handmade jewelry.

If you did just try to propose to one of them, and didn't explain you were proposing, they might assume it was a mistake; you must have forgot it's monster tradition to only give handmade jewelry to become engaged. They really can't accept this. Nightmare, who wasn't really involved in monster culture, would likely forget the tradition , wear the jewerly around, and tell the others you made it for him, thus inciting weeks of quiet jealousy from everyone. Let's hope you made more jewerlry....

Thought it was high time I made a pinned post! I’m Snow/Snowfires (she/her). This blog mainly focuses on UTDR and my fic “Like Comets in the Night”, a reader-insert/bad sans poly fic focused on star-crossed love, anxiety, dating a bunch of evil skeletons, and multiversal schenanigans.

Fandoms and general things I enjoy: UTDR, Zelda (my all time favourite), Alien Stage, Hollow Knight/Silksong, Hazbin Hotel, Apothecary Diaries, MHA, and Indie Animation!

Monsters in poly relationships will often plan joint ceremonies—and it's just about the only way you could get married without causing a huge fuss.

However, it takes the boys forever to figure that out. There comes a point when it's obvious they SHOULD propose to you. Many humans like to be joined in marriage after some time, and Dust is fully convinced you're his actual soulmate.... but everyone expects that Nightmare will initiate the planning. He is their sort-of King, and he likes fancy shit like this.

Problem is, Nightmare is under the impression that Killer will initiate the planning. He was your first lover, after all. It would be polite to allow him to propose to you first.

There's a weird back and forth where everyone keeps hinting to each other that they really should start taking some jewelry-making classes, pointing out really nice pieces they stumble on, and bringing home gems from especially rich AUs and insistently showing them to each other. Killer keeps setting Nightmare up on solo dates with you and teasing him, but Nightmare is too in his own head to get the hint.

Horror eventually can't stand it anymore and sits the others down for a meeting about it. They eventually settle on proposing individually, even though the ceremony will be joint, and agree on a set order and timeline (Cross’ idea) because they cannot spend another year dancing around each other.

Killer is decided on as the first to propose, and unfortunately that means he steals the most scenic and obvious location: Outertale. He finds a lake that reflects the stars, sets up a little picnic similar to your first date, and proposes in a rare nervous way. You end up spending the night asleep under the stars, and Nightmare has to come get you himself in the morning when you haven’t returned.

He proposes with a necklace inlaid with purple sapphires and pink diamonds. It wasn’t difficult for him to learn to make—he has some basic metalwork skills he’s picked up over the years, even if he prefers carving.

Nightmare takes you for a fancy dinner in a fantasy-themed AU, then brings you up to his private gardens to propose. He chose to make you a crown of black and violet diamonds, the base formed of silver twisted like branches, with small patterns for flowers representing each of the members of your family. He knows it’s impractical to wear all the time, but he doesn’t mind—it will be perfect for special occasions.

Horror ends up going next, because Cross and Dust are both freaking out over their proposal jewelry. He chose to create something simple—a ring that matches the bands he and Dust gave each other. He had a whole plan—take you out to a cute cafe, go walk along a pier with hot chocolates—but he ended up proposing in the courtyard when you got back. It’s not that he was nervous…. It’s just that you were having so much fun he couldn’t bare to interrupt you.

Cross follows, at Dust’s insistence. He made you a set of earrings—small enough that they won’t bother you in your day-to-day life, but inlaid with alternating patterns of shards of purple and pink gemstones.

If it weren’t for his constant squirming and reaching into his pocket, you wouldn’t suspect it was proposal day at first. Cross takes you into the Omega Timeline, and you spend a day having fun at the arcades, skating rink, and small amusement park before indulging yourself in a fancy meal. You go to a boutique and Cross buys you the fanciest dress you want before taking you out onto the lake in a boat to share the best desserts from Muffet’s. It’s there that Cross proposes to you. You’re almost worried that between both of your tears, you’ll sink the boat.

Nightmare finds you come morning, passed out in each other’s arms and gently drifting across the water. Core thought it was way too cute to wake you themself.

Dust is all ready to go and finally propose when Error shows up to the castle and yoinks you to gods knows where in the multiverse.

Error does not give a shit about Dust’s whining texts. Under no circumstances is he going LAST to propose to you. He already was last to date you, for creator’s sake!! And Killer already stole the obvious best proposal spot!

“So you’re proposing today?” you tease, because Error is terrible at keeping his thoughts to himself. The destroyer blue screens for a solid twenty minutes before coming too and nervously proposing to you in the anti-void. It’s sweet and private, which is exactly how your relationship with Error is. You cuddle and watch tv for a few hours before Error takes you to the place he was actually planning to propose—a fancy hotel in the original universe. You spend a couple of days there, and Error is shocked by all the random free gifts you get when you tell the staff you just got engaged.

He proposed with a bracelet woven from his magical strings, with small jewels snugly wrapped up in its threads. That way he’s always with you—even if you’re busy with the others.

Dust finds himself last to propose. He made a bracelet as well, meant to go on your left wrist. It even has a little diamond-studded chain that can connect to Horror’s ring when you want. The main bracelet is a soft rose gold, carved with patterns of the stars and inlaid with jewels in the shapes of lavender and lily-of-the-valley looped together.

Dust is also a really private person, so he takes you to an observatory in Outertale that Nightmare rents out for the evening. You watch a meteor shower and indulge yourself in platters of finger food. Later in the night, he shows you a pair of binary stars through the telescope before proposing to you.

Without sweat glands, one need not resort to axe body spray.

Therefore I'm using this as a chance to yap about the symbolism of magic scents. As magic is ultimately derived from the soul, the scent of your magic is heavily linked to your nature.

Killer smells primarily of Atropa Belladonna, a plant frequently associated with death. Though his magic has undercurrents of basil (associated with both love and death) and the smell of rain lingering in the air.

Dust's magic is an exact replica of himself—someone who appears harmless, but is quite deadly. Water hemlock and lily of the valley are both poisonous, but have sweet earthy and lemony scents. There is also a little bit of dahlia, which has different symbolism depending on colour—black for dishonesty, green for new beginnings... just as Dust has gotten since joining Nightmare.

Very, very deep under all that, he sometimes smells like hot chocolate and pine trees. Like the home he left behind so long ago.

Cross mostly smells of speedwells and baptisia, which are the perfect flowers for a soldier like him—symbols of protection, fidelity, and loyalty. Under that is a delicate dusting of camellias... flowers of love and affection.

He also always smells like chocolates and brownies, though no one is sure if that comes from his magic or if it's because he's addicted to the stuff.

Horror's magic is very weak, so primarily he smells of herbs and soil from the garden. But when it does peak through? It's very pleasant. A mixture of jasmine (purity/love/friendship/and familial bonds), rue (regret, repentenance and protection), maple (loyalty/duty/resilience) and wind through wheat fields.

Nightmare smells primarily of apples, just like his brother. But his magic carries other scents as well. Queen of the night, a flower associated with royalty and with symbolism of mystery and fleeting beauty. Magnolia (perseverance, dignity/nobility, power and pride). Iris (power/wisdom). And, rarely, you can catch a hint of fern underneath... symbolzing protection and his affection for his newfound family.
