ok this is weird but I'm a psychology nerd so hear me out–
I love how Natquik and Calico Jack's fear responses are canonically Fight and Flight respectively.
You'd think it'd be the opposite, because CJ's a brave, strong pirate, and Natquik is kind of an awkward loner (affectionate), but noooooooo........
When Calico Jack is afraid of something:
He runs away from it.
Which could actually be a fun nod to the IRL Calico Jack, who was apparently a notorious ✨ coward ✨, and terrible fighter.
and what does Natquik do... 👁️👁️ ?

have a lil skelek doodle
been thinking of him off and on while i work on other stuff
this is essentially how i imagine snaps first sees him - just hanging out all cute n comfy in a surface market
nicknames ive considered: spindle, weaver, needle
honestly been struggling a lot thinking of surface skeletons >:| don't have a reason for their bone colors. I think surface-skeletons are extremely uncommon to the point that many either are extinct in aus or are assumed to be extinct. This is due to a combination of reproductive issues [after losing the knowledge of how to access their souls] and also being hunted for their dust/for being spooky.
I imagine the folklore associated with surface!skeletons is like a mixture of elves, will-o-wisps, and general fairies. They usually live out and away from urban environments, forests being very common. Because of their negative human-interactions some of them became adept illusionists and enchanters.
Surface!skeletons like to dance with each other and use it a way of deeper communications. Usually accompanied by humming [either verbal or an effect of vibrating their bones.]
Spindle is from a family that specializes in needlecraft. He can spin threads with different charms/enchantments from his own magic - the thread extending down his spine to be pulled from the tip of his tail. He can then embroider, using either pre-spun threads, or directly from his tail, more advanced spellwork.
He can weave, but he doesn't often and it isn't his specialization. It takes him the most effort, with the warp being done with raw magic from his tail and the weave done with a combination of raw and pre-spuns.
His enchantments can be used for: illusions/glamour [like Kelek's seal, though Kelek's is a metal bracer on his tail made by a different kind of monster, Kelek has never met a surface skeleton in his au].
This doesn't extend only to disguises. Spindle's work can glow or emit different effects for aesthetical reasons. Since magic also functions as a way of communicating, Spindle's work can also reflect this. His strongest charms tend to go to those he cares for just as a result of that extra emotion fed into the process. His gifts tend to subtly emit what he was feeling for the person when he crafted it.
Spindle lives alone in an urban surface-monster community; meaning he lives around humans which is highly unusual. The community he settled down in didn't have great access to an enchanter so he stayed behind when his family passed through. He very very very rarely goes around humans. If he's not at the surface market then he's home. He lives in a basement apartment under a family friend who usually gets Spindle anything that he might not be able to find in the monster-market.
edit: forgot to say - considered having his magic also be a form of prosthesis. so if a monster lost a limb then: Spindle would weave/embroider/spin thread for another artisan with the expected result being an ecto-version of the lost limb.

Eyeing Tic and Snap respectfully 👉👈❤️ they look like good goobers. I'm surprised Snap hasn't gotten many ships outside of the one with him and Klek.
hehe. they are good goobers :3 (as much as Snaps might think he's not lmao)
yeah, Snaps doesn't have a lot of ships outside of keleks, but doesn't mean he doesn't have a plenty of partners. ;3
there are so many keleks by now. even a couple of extra snaps. me n Kins mess around a lot with different aus of our bois. it's why i'm fucking with the idea of bara versions of my bois. (we've already seen him with Scar (horror Kelek) and Salt/Seabun (mer Kelek))
(tho Snaps isn't th only one who gets the keleks. =w= all the other twitchy bad sanses do too hehe. (and a certain sans i haven't introduced yet.) (i jus need to get all their designs out before i start posting the art of them kjfgnbknj))
(also, i may or may not have started shipping him with @/mothiepixie's Motti since Moth started liking Killer hehe)
