Color doesn’t like their face. After spending so long in the void, they don’t remember exactly how they look like. They made an idea of what they look like. Every-time they look in the mirror, they feel like their face isn’t theirs and isn’t the right one due to their idea of what they were supposed to look like.

It’s hard for Color to feel loved without validation from others. They know the saying ‘be responsible for your own happiness!’ But how can they be if the only way they are happy is with validation from others. They have to know if they are doing everything right, they have to know if everyone is pleased with them, or else they will be a failure in what they are meant to do; help and please others. Color wished he could feel happy without validation from everyone.

Killer feels guilty for what happened to him from Nightmare. Why? It’s because he believes that it was his fault. Killer knows that he flinches at Nightmare’s name, he’s scared to be in his presence, he’s scared of him, but Nightmare shown kindness a few times, it must be his fault that Nightmare hurt him so much. Killer must of been the person in the wrong because of the few times Nightmare shown a bit of kindness, and Killer shouldn’t be seen as the victim. Killer is aware that what happened to him was abuse, but sometimes, in the back of his mind, he believes that it’s all his fault.

Killer is scared of cameras. He doesn’t like the fact that they are focused on him and have moments of him when he doesn’t know about it saved. He doesn’t like how it watches him the most. He doesn’t know who is behind that camera. He hates security cameras because of how they look. It looks like an eye staring at him. It looks like Nightmare’s eye. It watches him like Nightmare used to do. What if it was recording him for Nightmare? Will he ever feel truly escaped from Nightmare?

I’m still struck by this entire interaction. The way he was obviously waiting to hear what gaster had to say, but the second he actually started talking bro just rolls his eye with his entire full body behind it?? The fucking frowning, down turn of his mouth. Scrunching up his “nose” in his annoyance. Walking away mid conversation.

He’s so expressive and sassy it’s hilarious.

And Gaster holding up his fucking finger like “erm actually ☝️😌”. You can tell this isn’t the first time Gaster has lectured Color like that, nor the first time Color just walked away mid sentence.
