#uf levi

❅ - when they were younger, Stretch would catch chills all the time, so Sans got in the habit of bundling him up. Even though it's not an issue anymore, there is a surplus of winter wear in his closet

❅ - Tori loves the snow, but it brings a lot of bittersweet memories with it. It probably wouldn't take Frisk too much convincing to get her to make snow angels with them

❅ - Edge bakes like it's his day job pretty much the entire holiday month, almost exclusively for gifting purposes. Coincidentally, this also means he’s wound up memorizing everyone around hims' food preferences and allergies

❅ - absolutely none of the undynes are safe to go sledding with. Not one of them.

❅ - most if not all of the monsters who predominantly lived in Snowdin know how to ice skate, or would pick it up super fast

❅ - Ghost and fsg Chara both love hot chocolate, but Chara is a purist (just plain, rich hot chocolate) and Ghost is always Putting Things in there, ranging from relatively normal (caramel, cinnamon, etc) to things like sweet tarts or poprocks. This sparks a lot of household debate

She'd been seriously injured, and Gerson didn't know where else to take her. Gaster had only just, theoretically, stabilized his first trial doses of the Trait Extractives, but her HP was critical, they didn't have much to lose.

Thankfully, proceeding carefully, she survived. She'd lost all vision in that eye, but she had a future ahead of her once more.

In UF though, Gaster continued seeing her. Testing the boundaries of how much a monster could accept before they started to destabilize. Sans and Papyrus weren't very good examples on that front given the composition. Of course they'd be able to tolerate it better, but he needed to know its effectiveness on a natural monster.

Thankfully, Gerson stepped in when he started noticing some significant side effects and insisted they stop. Gaster accepted this, recording everything he could've throughout the process and being quite excited to take his findings to the King.

• Asgore did still mentor Undyne, but more so because he saw her fighting potential

• Undyne had a complicated relationship with Asgore. When she was younger, he was still a little softer, or at least could be at times, and he was really the only family she had aside from Gerson. She's aware of how bad he’s gotten, but she can't really convince herself to go against him

• Her and Papyrus have a very strange relationship, she really does care about him, but she tries hard to keep some distance because she doesn't want another vulnerability (she has enough already caring about Gerson and Alphys)

• Papyrus really does admire Undyne, but he worries about how far she'd be willing to go to maintain the status quo

• The dog guards actually like Sans and Papyrus. They used to be intimidated by Sans and not take Papyrus seriously, but over the years have come to trust them and are grateful for their leadership in Snowdin

• MK actually resents Undyne for a while. Generally she's pretty mean and doesn't tolerate kids loitering around (not realizing it's because she worries about them being in danger). Papyrus is the one who changes their spiteful view of the guards, but it still takes a while before they really start looking up to him

• Grillby was a young adult when he met Sans and Papyrus, a few years older than Sans, when they first came to Snowdin. He helped them out a few times, and was one of the first monsters Sans came to...almost trust

• Gerson is one of the few monsters who gets away with vocally disapproving of the king. Him and Asgore have a very tense relationship, but there are some lines Asgore still won't cross

• Gerson is also one of the few monsters who can tell Sans and Papyrus aren't what they seem to be...but he's never been able to figure out much else

• Sans thinks Toriel's fucking crazy but eh, she makes him laugh anyway, so why not keep visiting (he knows it'll bite him on the ass one day, just probably didn't expect it'd be in the way of protecting a human oof)

• Papyrus' vision in his left eye is pretty fucked but he can forcibly balance his vision a lot by focusing on redistributing his magic. Basically he can have good vision in one eye and absolute shit vision in the other or mediocre vision in both

• Undyne just straight up does not have a second eye anymore, but Alphys has offered to make a mechanical one (turned down, because she suspects Asgore would force Alphys to put a camera in it (he absolutely would))

• Papyrus and Undyne share clothes often, neither really remember who's is who's most of the time

• Mettaton hates his stupid baka life acting as a propagandist for Asgore but he does still willing agree to perform so he can have his body and whatnot

• Toriel isn't the best at baking because of the limited available ingredients underground, so she makes a lot of...questionable. Substitutions...

• Alphys and Sans have a very tense relationship, but in some ways, they're actually very loyal to each other, given that Alphys entirely hides things from Asgore for him, and Sans covers for Alphys all the time

Despite how their relationship strained as she got older, I also feel like Undyne would've resented Toriel for abandoning Asgore, as well, seeing his actions and reasons as justified, and believing Toriel to be a treacherous coward more than anything.

But...as she finally began to look through the smoke. Thanks to Papyrus. Thanks to Frisk. And especially when Toriel reappears to help put an end to things and help them...her longstanding disdain for the ex-Queen would see its first true cracks. Not that I think she'd immediately come around to her, but...she'd be significantly more willing to tolerate her presence. Especially as she became more important to Sans and Papyrus.

I think it'd take many...many years, and a lot of therapy, before Undyne would really be able to process everything she's been through and how different it all looks with space from it. But I could imagine she'd come to respect Toriel, for how she cares for the same ones Undyne cares for, for everything she does to help them make peace with the humans, for...making an effort to change for the better.

Since I’m never gunna finish this thing from 2(?) years ago properly figured I might as well post it <3

Solo shots under the cut

It's really difficult to find a good balance between the fact I think she would, reluctantly, still really care about him, and her own troubled upbringing/using harsh methods to keep him tough. Even in the versions Papyrus did willingly join, he does try hard to be merciful, a protector. Maybe it doesn't mean much at the end of the day, but the little differences can be just as important to him. And that would undoubtedly frustrate Undyne.

Especially given a lot of how things are involves the idea that they need to toughen up, strengthen themselves, so when the war against human comes, they'll be prepared. Papyrus's determination to help and protect 'isn't doing anyone any favors'. Even though Undyne herself frequently doubts and questions, she's learned not to let that hamper her. So Papyrus's 'stubbornness' grates against this terribly.

I think there's also a chance she may even resent him a little. Probably wouldn't even necessarily be aware of it, but I don't doubt she feels a significant amount of pressure from Asgore to conform, especially given everything he's done for her. She wants to side with him, even when it's difficult. But Papyrus. He stays true to himself, despite her efforts, Asgore's efforts, even his own brother's. And he 'gets away with it'. I'd imagine his disobedience antagonizes her all the more because of this.

He was so young when he joined/was forced into it, I can't imagine she didn't know, even if he lied. There's no way she doesn't at least have some protective streak for him. And even a reluctant admiration of his commitment to his own rules.

Underfell, of course. Papyrus wants to impress Undyne, tries his best to prove he’s cut out for the position as her Lieutenant, but she doesn't take him seriously at all. He’s strong, no doubt about it, but he bends rules and shows obvious reluctance to do things he needs to as a Guard. She gets it, she does, but he’s just...too soft.

She gives him increasingly time consuming tasks on top of his daily work to "test him", but really, she's just keeping him, and all of his suggestions and offers, out of her hair. Eventually, though, one of them gives her an idea.

Asgore had off handedly mentioned building some sort of torture chamber to get information out of particularly stubborn traitors, so when it's one of the things Papyrus mentions, she snags it. Agrees with him, and gives the go ahead to convert his shed into a "torture chamber". Surely that will keep him busy.

And sure enough it did. Only for a week though, but hey, not too bad considering she's pretty sure that kid doesn't even sleep. He's excited to show her, adding it's not completely finished, but he's quite proud of how it's coming along.

She thinks she's humoring him more than anything, even a little curious what someone like Papyrus would consider torture. Strapping someone to a chair and making them watch anime? Of course, once they get there and he enthusiastically throws the door open, her jaw drops.

The shed seems weirdly bigger on the inside than it looks, and the whole thing is meticulously set up into "sections", a large "tool wall" set up along the wall next to the door. The...devices? in each section look like they could give Jigsaw nightmares, and the whole thing is starkly contrasted by Papyrus standing in a clear spot, hands on his hips, watching her with obvious excitement.

He quickly continues on in his rambling, talking about how he'd designed this and that himself, how the pieces for this had been a bit tricky to find, so he'd had to improvise, mentioning a few of the missing things he needs to complete it. And everything functions of course, he's done significant testing for maximum efficiency!
