hi! im filling in on my last ask.
how different would the boy's lives be had they not been (forcefully) inlisted to the military?
would some have taken other forms of employment/career choice, or would they join the military like in the story but like, willingly.
thank you!
Vastly different.
Mars would have been something like a rancher that cared for livestock, I think. Even though he has a scary appearance, the large beasts of the plains don’t seem to fear him.
Jupiter would probably help Ursa (outertale paps) work as this worlds equivalent to a Cub Scout or Boy Scout troop leader. Learning about the outdoors. Ursa would handle teaching about the flora and fauna, while Jupiter would teach them how to survive in the wild should they be ‘up shits creek without a paddle.’
Polaris (outertale sans) would also study the local plant and wildlife and end up as a professor at the university in St. Calibri. When he isn’t doing that, he also likes to learn about insects. He probably falls asleep while studying and some of them hitch rides on Polaris into the house, much to Ursa’s dismay.
(Their dad thinks it’s endearing, as Polaris makes sure they all get out back outside, safely.)
Red is a mechanic. Cars exist but someone still has to fix em when they break.
Edge would become quite the amazing cook and teach others how to cook.
Milord would be a lawyer.
Mutt would have ended up with a much gentler disposition. So eventually with how smart he is, he would have opened his own gardening or landscaping business.
Blue would be a sheriff/ the sheriff or a firefighter.“This town isn’t big enough for your troublesome antics, evil-doer!”
Orange’s laid back attitude makes him a good bartender/ keeper. (He’d run the saloon.)
Aster would be a doctor. (Granted that’s kinda the same as what he currently does. Though that’s a field medic.) He is very generous with his time and service to his community.
G would be a private eye. He has a natural charm and charisma that allows him to get closer to people than one normally would. Not to mention his intelligence and natural curiosity would make him a good sleuth.
Sans would be a deputy to Blue- doing a lot of the under cover work and ‘bad cop’ing. Actually getting the results as his more excited counterpart goes on the chase for the bad guys and all that fun jazz. He would also be the one to work with Milord for criminal cases, as well as Milord would be the on call lawyer for the jail.
Papyrus would be a handyman. If it can be broken, this master of all things ‘confusing contraption’ can probably fix it. Pluming, lightning, furniture. Etc etc.
Bonus:
The gasters-
Fell- He is still in the army as a top tier General. He was bossy from the day he was born and he’ll stay bossy long after he dusts. Where do you think edge got the audacity from? He learned it from someone and it wasn’t Red.
Swap- He would be a pre-school teacher. He didn’t earn his #1 Dad! Pin for nothing.
Starlord- He would study meteorology and probably be a forecaster.
Trocar- Like his son Mars, he has a way with animals. He would be a veterinarian.
Swiff (SwapFell Gaster) - Mans is a straight up fiend. He’s getting a head start on the brewing business for moonshine.
WingDing- He would teach mathematics at St. Calibri University…
Though he swears he doesn’t remember this. Any of it…
How can this be?
Wasn’t he just….?
He looks around the room, brows furrowed. Nothing seemed out of place. Papers were in order and papers sat on his desk.
At least he thought it was supposed to be his.
He snapped awake, staring at the dark green of the tent above his head, the dream already fading from his mind.
Everything was in its place, untouched.
Unchanged.
Though the weird, black substance on his jacket went unnoticed.
