i love trans hcs so so much especially for dream and nightmare (the etherealest beings) but the idea of them coming out to each other DURING their war is very funny to me. like imagine this
[screaming over the sounds of carnage] “DREAM, BROTHER/SISTER, AT LONG LAST I HAVE-”
“CAN YOU HOLD THAT THOUGHT”
“…..WHAT FOR?!”
“CAN YOU CALL ME [PREFERRED TERM]”
“HUH?! I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE MURDER IM CAUSING”
“CAN YOU CALL ME [PREFERRED TERM]”
“OH. IN A TRANS WAY?”
“YEAH”
“SURE. *explodes you and your team but in a #ally way*
GRJRHRJDJRJD YOUR FARM SANS STUFF IS MAKING MY BRAIN BUZZZZZZ
What if some rich city dude started vying for Farm Sans' love interest? Like the dude is a total douche, and he turns around and tries to take Sans' girl? >:3
It's probably one of those assholes who buys a second/third home in the countryside, out-pricing local families, so he can have an 'escape' he only lives in for a month out of the year. He's in town to 'get away from it all' for a while.
This dude sets off all of Sans' alarm bells when he flirts with you. With any other person, Sans' reaction would depend on whether or not you were into them. He'd respectfully back off if you genuinely liked someone. But honestly, this douche's vibes are so rancid that Sans is going to be constantly brittle and cold and on the offensive. He has a few tactics up his sleeve.
For one - he uses his community connections. This guy (we'll call him Douche) is NOT welcome here, and Sans rubs it in. Country communities are tight-knit, can be pretty closed off, and are often actively hostile to people like Douche. Douche can barely buy groceries, people either ignore him or speak in cold and brusque tones, the snub from Sans and Papyrus means people will hardly look at him. Not to mention you've been so deeply accepted that it's as if you were born and raised there; nobody wants Douche to win you over. With or without Sans' encouragement, other folk will gossip to you about what a terrible person Douche is. "Oh, don't hang around with his sort, MC. You're such a sweetheart."
Sans is relatively oblivious to how his physique is attractive to you. But he's not oblivious to how physically intimidating he can be. He enjoys casual displays of his overwhelming strength, and the terror he witnesses in Douche's eyes; nothing shuts Douche up faster than having to watch his romantic rival wrangle a bull with just his hands. Sans will wander up to Douche (particularly while Douche is trying to chat you up) holding a sack of grain in one hand like it's nothing - "hey buddy, think you can hold this for me for a few secs?" - and then Sans will watch in glee as Douche tips over under its weight.
... Sans' favourite, though, is playing mind games. He fully leans into the 'dumb country guy' stereotype, acting like he's lazy and stupid, playing up his accent and easygoing tone. Until anytime Douche tries to seem smart. Then, in a searingly faux-friendly manner, Sans nitpicks him apart, correcting him on even the most complicated issues. "hey man, pretty sure socrates said that, not plato." "actually it's gravitational lapsing that causes that effect. lensin' is somethin' else entirely." "well i don't know about no NFTs... but i do know the blockchain is only as strong as its weakest link, an' deregulation makes it impossible to recover any phished money. seems like an inherently flawed system and no real way to store yer hard earned cash. but what do i know?" This also doubles as a way of making Sans look better in front of you, because you had no idea he was so smart.
Douche honestly doesn't stand a chance. But it's fun to watch him flounder.
There wasn’t a good breaking point in the scene for a bit, so it was either a shorter one or one that was too long and I decided on the shorter one. There’s also a bit of... hesitation? Or reluctance? I think with doing this scene, because this is the last one. It’s a long scene so it’ll take a while to get through, but this will be the final scene of the comic. It’s a very surreal thought... after all this time, it’s hard to believe that I’ve actually gotten here. Part of me doesn’t really want to let go... but there’s no other way ahead but forward, because I can’t stop now.
How long will this scene take to get through? I couldn’t say right now. I guess we’ll find out together!
(And it’s a long, long, long journey that we’ve been on
And it’s a long long long story that will be told - [x])
