if i started a fic about Reader being a bartender/server at Grilby’s and meeting sans, papyrus, and the whole multiverse cast slowly over time through the restaurant would y’all be interested?

EDIT: here’s the link <-

more necromancer doodles. u guys will hear more about this guy eventually 💀

#i ran a poll on twitter abt whether it would be funnier for his centipede 'familiar' to be completely useless and unmagical #i.e. literally just a normal giant bug #or if it's funnier for it to be a magical talking centipede but it's still useless and doesn't do anything #it's just that it also sometimes says stuff like 'nhyyeahhhh boss you tell em!!' and 'i'm a woim!!!!!' #but at the end of the day i am going w the former bc. it is very important to me that this character is excruciatingly lonely #and if his giant bug pet could talk to him that would be too much relief. 🖤 #ANYWAY. thats all for now #back to comms #my art #my ocs #vega mauserot

My personal (and favorite) Gourmand theory is that they went DOOM mode on the red lizard population and singlehandedly made them become endangered on the facility grounds.

My evidence? Notice how every slugcat before them on the timeline - Spearmaster, Artificer, and Hunter, each encounter red lizards in their campaigns. Only in the campaigns of Survivor and Monk - which come directly after Gourmand - are they absent. They do reappear in Rivulet and Saint, but those both seem to take place in the far future. It took that long for the population to recover from the hell Gourmand wrought upon them.

#this applies to other hardmode creatures like red centipedes & spitters too. It's just that red lizards are the most obvious example #and I know I know it's MOST LIKELY a gameplay thing #but rainworld is no stranger to incorporating gameplay mechanics into its lore #also it's really funny to imagine #rain world #rainworld #rw spoilers #rw gourmand #obligatory talk tag

have you watched tusk (2014)?? its... interesting! ☺️

yes. and let me tell you something… this is just my personal… opinion… VERY subjective taste here yall…

I FUCKING LOVE body horror. I LOVE EM. but i like it if they are more… natural? Like from within your body, not like, through surgery. I mean cool and i do watch them still but i prefer body horror that comes within your body, it feels more scarier to me 🧎‍♀️

I watched tusks blindly and i literally FELT GIDDY LIKE WOOO this man gonna turn into a walrus im gonna see some fucked up shit but oh… through surgery…

#THIS IS A VERY WEIRD RANT YALL LMAOOOOOOOOO #I AM VERY SORRY TO BE GRAPHIC ABOUT IT #THIS IS VERY SUBJECTIVE. IF YOU GUYS LIKE THEM ITS VERY COOL!!! #i love body horror still #but yknow like #the fly #the thing #or alien #something unnatural that goes on within your body that makes it change… and can you still call yourself a human after all that #oh #thats my SHIT right there #asks #this is why human centipede doesnt really intrigue me #i watched the first one #its… okay #but if the human got turned into a centipede by itself #their bodies slowly changing… #i’d eat that shit UPP #sorry for the body horror talk yall im sorry if this is gross HAHAHA

raises hand i think we should put centieclipse and Lord bloodmoon in a terrarium together and see what happens

OUHHHH OH MY STARS that would be genuinely so fascinating. Idk how Lord Bloodmoon would react but I feel like Centiclipse would be APPALLED that someone such a Bloodmoon got his hands on such a force, and probably say some shit about how someone with such a filthy existence doesn't deserve something as powerful as the star. Like he wouldn't throw hands (hah) unprompted or anything, but he'd have a WHOOOOLE lotta shit to talk!!!

#asks #o-i-w-u #HE'D BE LIKE LIKE #like how cats will hunch when threatened. but much longer bc centipede HEJAHAJS #ALSO WAIT OMS #SOMEWHAT RELATED YOUR STAINED GLASS LORD BLOODMOON ART WAS IN MY DREAM A FEW DAYS AGO!!!!! #it was my own art first and a small centipede was crawling on it and then i turned my back and it turned into ur art when I looked back- #-and Bloodmoon was ALIVE in the stained glass window!! #he like. plucked centiclipse off him and was talking shit but also told centiclipse to protect me??? before he kicked us out #n then the rest if the dream happened BUT UR ART WAS THERE SO I HAD TO TELL U AGSJABSJ #lord eclipse au #centiclipse #lord bloodmoon

Hey. Hey psstttt Valentine you should totally tell us all the ways Papyrus shows his Autismcore Swagger(tm) 👁️ 👁️

This is gonna be a dissertation good god. Toni you don’t know what you’ve brought into the world. Also this isn’t really gonna be a “look at all the way’s he Is autistic!!” As much as look at all the correct reasons he’s autistic so I will be covering a lot of character misconceptions.

The correct and lore accurate reasons why Papyrus is autistic (and debunking some incorrect points bc I can’t stand misinformation) in no particular order. A whole lot more under cut.

Safe Food

a lot of people consider spaghetti to be Papyrus’ safe food or something but papyrus hasn’t even eaten his own food.

You might be able to argue that him making spaghetti all the time is a weird habit or missed social cue, but it isn’t a “safe food”. Hell, him not eating his own food is why he constantly misses social cues about how it’s actually super bad.

Face Blind

Is face blindness an autism trait? Tbh I’m not sure, but I‘m autistic and mildly face blind so I’m bringing it up. Papyrus seems relatively unable to tell the difference between faces. He does not recognize that Toriel is a different person from Asgore.

You might also be able to make a case about how he refers to Frisk as “Human” the whole time because he can’t differentiate than from others but that’s not really a strong point, so it’s being skipped.

Sarcasm/Humor

Humor is under this section for a very important reason: PAPYRUS’ MAIN SENSE OF HUMOR IS DEADPAN SARCASM. I’m not sure where people got the idea that he misses sarcasm tbh.

He’s joking here.

Another joke.

Listen, I am autistic and make the exact same types of jokes. Deadpan, obvious lies are so funny, but people usually miss that it’s a joke. That’s the case here. He’s just making jokes without making it clear with tone or phrasing that it’s a joke.

I just want to highlight some of his wordplay/puns bc people refuse to acknowledge that he likes puns too.

Another joke. Also he has a style of humor where he just stumbles into what he thinks is funny and commits to the bit even if the joke doesn’t really work and he’s so real for it.

Difficulty Lying

I don’t have any screenshots for this section because I’m not actually sure where people came up with this. Maybe it’s that his lies are super easy to see through, but he actually lies All The Time.

This is jumping ahead a bit, but the reason Papyrus’ speech is all caps is because he’s lying. If you go back a bit and reference fighting Migosp, until you get rid of the Whimsum that fights with them, they’ll speak in all caps. Once you spare the Whimsum, the Migosp’s case goes standard because it is not putting up a front.

Papyrus speaks in all caps because he is constantly lying about how cool and confidant he is. In reality, he’s very lonely person with a lot of insecurities.

If I can find the post about case setting and lying that I saw years ago, I’ll link it here.

Special Interests

He absolutely has a special interest in puzzles/puzzle making.

he spends a lot of his time making, thinking, and reading about puzzles. There’s no way this isn’t his main special interest. He also gets annoyed that Sans doesn’t recalibrate his puzzles as often which is so reflective of someone that’s into your special interest but not as much, so you get really annoyed when they aren’t as involved as you are.

tbh he might be joking here but if taken as a fact, that’s not normal!! That is not a normal level of enjoying something! (If true) he walked his ass over to the cliff and spent who knows how long painting it to make it look like a rope bridge, all for the sake of one puzzle. That’s autism levels of liking things baby.

He also has a lot of robot action figures so I’m saying he likes to collect them bc I collects dolls. MTT might also be a special interest, but I think it’s more that Mettaton is like the only celebrity other than Undyne down there.

Misses Social Cues

This one is easy and the most obvious. Very often Papyrus will miss social cues and facial expressions.

We know that his food is practically inedible, so this would obviously not be a scrunch of pleasure.

And here we see that he completely misreads Frisk’s face. Maybe he’s intentionally being dense but I highly doubt it. This paired with the supposed face blindness is screaming autism.

Voice Level

…..

I think people aren’t gonna like this one but it’s so often cited as a reason he’s autistic that I need to acknowledge it. I don’t think Papyrus has a volume issue. I think if the theory about all caps=lying then we can pretty safely assume all caps are not inherently indicative of loud speaking.

Undyne is a loud character. A lot of her voice lines end with lots of exclamation marks and very expressive sprites. She specifically only has words in all caps for emphasis because italics (as far as I can recall) aren’t used. Papyrus, on the other hand, is always in all caps, but rarely has things like added exclamation points to denotaste loudness.

That’s all to say I don’t have a strong opinion about the matter. You can bring up how, psychologically, people tend to raise or lift their voices in volume or octave when telling lies, so Papyrus may still be a louder character than most.

Love of Organizing

This one I found while looking for certain voice lines so there’s not much commentary.

He greatly appreciates when things are organized in a certain way, and especially when that way is visual.

Echolalia/Making Up Words

Another small section.

small example of repeating words (echolalia)

One of a few examples of him making up words

Difficulty Making Friends

Yeah this is one of the few sections people so manage to correctly cite. Papyrus has a huge problem making friends. Hell, most of his voice lines are about how he wants friends and capturing a human/joining the Royal Guard will get him that.

Other than his brother, Undyne is the only person Papyrus can really call a friend. Even then, the only reason the two are friends is because Undyne pitied him and agreed to “train” him. That’s not exactly standard friend making.

When Papyrus does have the chance to make a friend a bit more normally, he gets a manual from the Library.

*note that this voice line is only from the hangout, if the player chose to flirt with him, i would be a dating manual*

Do you think allistics need a manual on how to act normal and make friends? No of course not. He also is very strict in following the manual closely as to make sure he makes a friend “properly”.

he’s flying blind here y’all.

Also, he’s very emotionally intelligent and I think people overlook that. In the hangout, he’ll tell the player that he doesn’t like how they’re speaking to him and gives them genuine (and good) advice about having more than on friend so you don’t obsess over/overwhelm said friend.

Routine

Unless Sans was joking, which in this case I doubt, Papyrus has been wearing his battle body every day. For weeks.

It’s a comfort item and something that he clearly has gotten very comfortable having on all the time.

Whether or not the puzzles need recalibration, Papyrus makes it clear he has a set routine and needs it to be done. This specific screenshot is also an example of the “wanting people to be as into your special interest as you are” thing I mentioned earlier.

Strong Sense of Justice

Papyrus feels very bad telling a lie that conflicts with his friendships, and has to come up with a convoluted reason to eat around it.

I don't think this needs further commentary.

That’s all folks! I can’t say just how exhaustive this meta is, but it’s damn near it. I tried to pull up a list of basic autistic traits but gave up once damn near immediately. Autism Speaks I am hunting you down. Anyway, there’s more examples I could have pulled but I really dont want this to be a mile long post.

...I just finished watching The Human Centipede 3..

What the fuck.

So now I just have to ask this,

Which movie would you have the highest survival chance in ? Or which movie do you think you could beat ? (Basically which one do you think you can come out of, safely and without major injuries)

No one wants to talk about how if James and the Giant Peach was a more recent movie, you all would be thirsting over Mr. Centipede and Miss Spider for VERY different reasons.

Mr. Centipede: Ideal gross tumblr man. Smokes a cigar. Is pathetic. Probably smells like a corpse constantly.

Miss Spider: Will kill you. Is hot. Is woman. Sexy. Also her aesthetic is absolutely on point.

But Ness! All the bugs are attractive in their own right!

You are correct.

I want Earthworm fanblogs.

I want Grasshopper faceclaims.

I want to see someone posting absolutely wild Glowworm love at 3 am because she is a delightful old lady.

I want someone appreciating how pure Ladybug is.

(And this isn't even covering how there's cannon marriages between all the bugs in the original book, and other than Centipede and Spider, the other two marriages come out of absolutely nowhere, but since they all live together it is safe to assume they're poly and putting on heteronormative masks. Especially since the homoerotic tension between Grasshopper and Centipede was absolutely palpable.)

Been thinking of Heiter's "I'M A SICK MAN, HAHAHA!" line (mostly bc it played on loop in my head yesterday for a sustainable amount of hours) and I find it so interesting because And I'd Be Wrong but it has an almost sarcastic tone to it? Like he's repeating it and laughing not to reinforce it but to, in his eyes, point at the absurdity of it. Which I really like because it got me thinking of his weird grey morality again.

Because Heiter exists in such a weird place where he's both so normal and so insane, zigzagging between acting like his way of life is normal and realizing No It's Fucking Not. Because it's not like he's delusional, he knows the centipede (or as some guy on tv tropes wmg called it: the 'pede) is not his dogs, and while I'm debated on whether he actually knows a single thing Katsuro says or not (tbf him speaking on a different language and Heiter just listening does parallel quite strongly one listening to their dogs bark trying to imagine what they'd be saying) he clearly never forgets that's a human with two other humans attached on the back. And yet he does all one would do with a dog, like try to play fetch and take it outside and the swimming naked thing.

But simultaneously he's not stupid or just lost in his world to the point he forgets this isn't okay or normal, he knows other people can find it, and he really freaks out when the detectives are at his door. And I'm still heartbroken we didn't get to see the detectives attached but that's besides the point.

I just find it really compelling how it's not a grey morality born out of balance but rather of existing in both opposite ends of the spectrum at once.

#luly talks #the human centipede #thc #dr heiter #josef heiter #he's just so fucked up i love him #top 10 men to study under a microscope tbh #like it's just. like he's again he's aware the centipede is not a dog yet you'd think he'd adapt around that notion? #but its not the case which does make me think it's more about stubbornness than naivety #which honestly is very girlboss of him
