Notable pets and who owns who! Some pets have been changed or dropped. If you no longer see them on the list they are redundant. This is so I can stop hecking loosing track of them all lol

Doomfanger: A very grumpy territorial and sassy tortishell long haired cat. Doomfanger is a bitter old lady and the apple of edge and noir's eye. The two skeletons share custody of the cranky kitty. Red and rust fear her

Baby Bones: A black and white tuxedo cat with vacant wide blue eyes and an even emptier head lol. He may not be the brightest bulb in the box, but he makes up for it by having no survival instincts and having a purr that sounds like a blender. He followed red home one day and just never left. He is probably the only other creature on the planet besides edge and noir that doomfanger tolerates.

Doris the eel: she is in fact just a freshwater eel. She doesn't move much. Her hobbies include staring unblinkingly into your soul, yawning once every two years and contemplating the meaning of life. Sometimes cash will doodle on her tank to make it look like she's wearing a mustache. Mal keeps her in his shop as a conversation piece.

Chaos: she is a fluffy white teacup chihuahua. She may or may not be possessed by a demon. Willow has done exorcisms on her before, but it never fixed anything. The dog is sometimes your average pup, and sometimes you see her swimming through the air being chased by a flock of flamingos. Or shes balanced on top of four bowling balls in the kitchen so she can reach the stove to make pancakes. Or she just strarts talking straight up latin at you. Only willow remembers these strange incidents. Any other viewers just seem to forget and see her as a normal dog the next day.

Baconator: oaks favorite chicken out of his flock of 14. She’s a fat little thing with brown feathers and the sweetest sounding cluck. If anyone sits down, she’ll flutter up to sit on their lap. Super friendly

Freeloader: a rare magical animal with the ability to unlock any lock, freeloader is just a chubby sweet little racoon. She was found injured and wild, then nursed back to health by mutt. She got emotionally attached, and he couldn't physically stop her from breaking back into the house every time she was released, so he put a collar on the animal and called it a day. Lord named her.

Snakesphere: Wine's pet cornsnake. He treats the reptile like his child. Any criticisms of the creature are met with very biting sarcastic retorts. Snakesphere is pretty normal other than the fact that he likes watching coffee play video games. Sometimes the snake will try to bite the screen whenever birds appear.

The Tank: ranchers four year in a row prizewinning dairy cow hand raised by him from birth to now. She's SUPER friendly and social. She will also jump into ranchers arms on command. She has tried going into the house on multiple occasions.

SonOfA-: originally named Tommy, one of rancher and peaches roosters. He's a mean motherf*cker and normally they would make a dinner out of the overly aggressive ones, but SonOfA- has successfully killed two hawks and a fox. Rancher argues that his power would be wasted on a kitchen table to peaches despair, so the attack chicken remains.

Sweetpea: partner's riding raptor. She is a very clever girl~ no really! besides being a good riding animal, he taught the dinosaur to wave hello, retrieve his hat, and even moonwalk. Her favorite treats are chicken nuggets, rabbit heads and captain crunch.

Lettuce and Pumpkin: two small dog sized iguanas owned by compass! The two lizards are harness and leash trained. They get a daily afternoon walk. They also enjoy country music! They will snatch food out of your hand though so be careful

Toad and toadette: button’s two pet funguys (hamster sized walking mushrooms). They spend most of their life in their enclosure, but sometimes she lets them free roam around the house. They make loud chirping noises whenever someone rings the doorbell.

Princess: princess is a large handsome free roaming male maincoon cat owned by the mafia siblings. Boss did his best to name him Rascal, but the combined efforts of heist and ace have caused the cat to only answer to princess. His hobbies include trying to seduce the local strays and sticking his paws inside people’s mouths.

Dumpster diver: or dumpster for short. She is one of the mutts owned by tegu that he’s trained to be a hunting hound. She is some sort of hound dog mix and was found eating a rotisserie chicken in a dumpster hence the name. She’s very attached to tegu and will cry at the door if he leaves the house without her.

If they're a top, are they satisfied with the size they are?

Eheheheheheh

A gift for @ratsoh-writes

Stitches: he once went two days straight without sleep because he decided he was gonna binge watch one piece. He didn’t finish lmao. But what a glorious two days that was.

Cash: his insomnia has kept him up for crazy amounts of time before. Like three-four day stints of no sleep have happened. It sucks, life sucks, trying to sleep sucks.

Copper: during some of the more dangerous areas of forest the nomad monsters used to wander through, copper would play watchman while the others slept. And there’s been plenty of time where they were short of usable people so copper did double shifts. He’s gone through three days of no sleep once.

Looking down, they see a little human kid they are not familiar with, holding their finger and staring at them with amazement. They hear a parent quickly walking up, apologizing. "Sorry, sorry! They just love skeletons" and then helps peel the kid off (kid is not fighting but is definitely not helping, lol)

Willow, Snipe, Mango, Red, Cash, Pop, Noir, Compass, Wine, Stitches.

Willow: he's melting. Willow has to briefly turn away as he feels tears start to form in his eye sockets cause gosh damn that was adorable. Plus something about this is just so precious to willow. He's always worried being an unnaturally large skeleton due to the famine, that he's creepy looking. This kid though proves that wrong. He'll give the mother a rather emotional reassurance that he didn't mind.

Snipe: Snipe is always alert when out in public. ALWAYS. So when this little kid approaches him, he is very much aware the whole time. He doesn't push the baby away when they grab his hand, hes a monster but he's not a monster you know! But he does stiffen up considerably. He'll roughly tell the mum/dad to watch her child better though when they collect the sweetie. And he takes the long alternate route home cause he's paranoid it was a set up somehow lol.

Mango: oh mango likes kids! Adult monsters she doesn't know will get the stink eye, but little kids are always nice to be around. So when the little toddler grabs her finger, she briefly startles before cooing at it asking where its parent is. Its a flattered mango who happily hands the kiddo back when the parent appears.

Red: this is a little-known fact, but reds special ability is being a child magnet. Babies and toddlers are just naturally interested in him. Red could be angrily cussing someone out and if a baby is near him, they'll just smile and coo most likely. So this is far from the first time a random toddler has grabbed his hand. Red literally just grumbles in annoyance and continues shopping with his one freehand. A parent always shows up soon enough.

Cash: He jumps a bit when the kid grabs his hand. Cash is immediately nervous. You see, cash has a face that just screams trouble. When people look at him, they assume he's up to no good, which to be fair is true like 75% of the time lol. So, if some worried parents saw him with their kid, he's scared hell be branded a kidnapper. So, to cover his *ss, cash picks the toddler up and starts asking every single person in the store if they lost a kid. Every. Single. One. The poor parent will be quite embarrassed when they catch up to cash as there's now a whole team of monsters looking for them.

Pop: When the kid holds his hand, he looks into their eyes. They stare back. Pop comes to a quick understanding. This child is also a true fan of the fruit by the foot, and they need his help in acquiring the delicious red fruit snack of the gods. Pop now has four boxes of the treat in his cart, and when the parent gets their kid back, they'll find later that four fruit by the foots are in the kid's pockets. a successful heist.

Noir: ok he's tall, and he doesn't really lean down for things if he can help it due to his hip, which means its quite impressive the child managed to grab his hand. They had to either jump for it or climb a box or something. Noir is so startled he doesn't even sass the parent when they rescue him from the athletic toddler lol. He goes home feeling rather off kilter. His scary fell image for the day has been shattered after all lol

Compass: He saw the kid coming but is still a little surprised when they grab his hand. Looking around compass leans down so he can softly ask the toddler if they need help. He's so relieved when the parent appears. Compass likes kids but doesn't have any experience with them so he was stressing.

Wine: wine also saw the child coming and actually chuckles when they grab his hand. Like a real chuckle. That was adorable and this child just made his day. Wine will pick the kid up and start walking around the store looking for the parent. And the whole time he searches, he's bantering with the toddler. It's quite funny cause wine never baby talks. He treats everything the kid says as if it's another adult talking to him. The kid will be all "my mommy likes cheese" and wine will reply in his completely normal deep voice "WELL CLEARLY YOUR MOTHER IS A MONSTER/HUMAN OF CLASS MY DEAR." He's secretly a little disappointed when he finds the parent, he was enjoying some finally decent intelligent conversation lol

Papyrus: he’s totally cool with it! Papyrus is genuinely fine waiting until he meets the right person. If that doesn’t happen till he’s an old hunched over skeleton monster than so be it. He isn’t in any sort of rush

Honey: he is rather embarrassed if the subject ever gets brought up. It’s not that honey cares about experiencing sex itself, he is more concerned about being considered… capable? Like he’s super super shy. Honey only has a very small handful of friends outside his family. And he’s never had a datemate. So his insecurity around his lack of experience is more about him wishing he was more social than it is about the sex itself.

Coffee: not a care at all. He has never been sexually attracted to someone else before and believes that sex and romance just aren’t his thing. This opinion will change when he gets his first crush.

Gears: he does worry about it sometimes. Like gears is very firm on only giving it up for his first soulmate. It’s a dream of his. But when he’s feeling down and being honest with himself, sometimes he wonders if maybe he’s set the bar too high. Like is it worth it waiting for so long?

With Ut, Ot, Lf, Nt and Gt

Sans: he winds up millions in debt every game and will bemoan his fate with many money based puns in order to spread his misery to the masses. This happens repeatedly until one day SOs sibling jokes about sans not having no strategy.

He wipes the floor with every one and owns the board in an hour

It never happens again. And SOs family still wonders to this day if they dreamt it all

Papyrus: he loves the railroads and will always go for those properties first. Papyrus is a house builder too and will save to just supe up the properties he does own instead of aiming for the rest of the board. If SO and family don’t mess him up in the beginning of the game he’ll become a real problem.

Pluto: he’ll usually be chosen as banker because Pluto is a trustworthy sweetheart who treats every one fairly. …… he’s been sneaking money to Jupiter every game

Jupiter: he’ll loudly try to get the job of banker, pout when it’s given to Pluto, then play as normal every game. SO and their family have no idea that the space brothers have been scamming them this whole time!

Lush: y’all really are trying to beat a literal loan shark in monopoly? Please~ 99% of games lush sweeps every one and laughs on his pile of money as the family cries. The only time he’s been beaten is after a long family meeting where SOs family literally planned a group strategy just to counter lush. He of course wins every game after that because he adapts. The same trick won’t work twice

Pepper: he’s a sore looser. So after the first time pepper ends up the poor one in SOs family monopoly night, he brings his brother over for the next gaming session. It was a cruel petty move on peppers part, and it backfires greatly as lush proceeds to bankrupt his brother first to teach him a lesson lol

Gears: he’ll buy every property he can, then whine when he has to pay people back in properties because he ran out of cash lol. No amount of coaching from SO will make gears change his strategy

Compass: he’s genuinely scared of how competitive SOs family is getting. Like it’s just a card game, why are we screaming???? C

G: the first time he plays monopoly with SOs family, he winds up cussing their mom out cause she stole boardwalk from right under his nose ridge. After that they’re monopoly enemies for life and will just target each other every game lol

With Of, Nt, Ht, Baubletale, and Coffee

Orion: that’s impressive that they grounded so hard for the last few weeks Ngl. When Orion gets major art block like that, he takes a vacation. He thinks maybe his friend trying too hard had somehow dragged out the curse

Atlas: so don’t draw??? The curse will go away on its own if you let it be. You’re only making it stronger by feeding it! Atlas would know as a spiteful student once cursed him to be unable to do divisions after atlas failed them.

Gears: that sounds like his worst nightmare. Gears tells his buddy to see a cursebreaker, but also don’t come over. He doesn’t want to risk the curse being contagious lmao

Compass: …. Maybe don’t tell his brother about that curse. Gears would absolutely freak out. Compass does feel for friend but isn’t sure how he can help here.

Oak: correction, artist friend ghosts oak for exactly four days before he’s coming over with fresh bread to make sure they aren’t dead check in on them. Oak hates being ignored as he worries he did something to offend them, but doesn’t remember what it was

Willow: he shows up after week one, walks in friends house, freezes, and takes a big sniff of the air. Before his weirded out friend can ask what that was for, willow interrupts them telling them they have a creativity blocking curse. He knows a few mages who can have it reversed.

Stitches: oh no!!! That’s actually horrible! Stitches is a little relieved though it’s just a curse and not something crazy like friend getting back with their toxic ex. Stitches would hate to have to yell at them for that again lmao. He doesn’t know how to fix this however

Tinker: …… no no no- step away. He cannot get curse residue near him. Tinker has a dozen commissions he’s working on- he cannot-
