Tantrum: How does your muse deal with tantrums? In public?

That one Parent's Day ask meme posted a looong time ago. RIP.

Long ago, Rudy used to give into Dess's grocery store tantrums everytime----

Yeah, sure. I'm not complaining. Go for it!

Thanks for saving my breath (typing?)

YES. PLEASE.

< Scene: elementary school >

*the teacher shuts off the classroom lights to show students a film*

*the room is dark, except for a little glowing red coming from the center-left desk...*

Nearby student: *loudly* "Rudolph, turn off your light. I'm tryin' ta watch a movie!"

*the entire classroom bursts out laughing*

Little Rudy: *grabs a book to shamefully hide his snout between its pages* "I... I can't turn it off..."

📝 for canon/DR rudy! it's fun seeing all the little ways character interpretations change over time

Send ‘📝’ to hear something that used to be true about my muse, but has been changed

A super-recent retcon (yayy, found the word!) is that Rudy doesn't speak French. You can find him saying something in the language in a fairly recent RP if you want to take a gander... XD I decided to give the bilingualism to Carol instead. It fits her more, since I gave her the French maiden name, "Belle" for the "Carol of the Bells" wordplay. A funny way to offset her husband being Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. XD

Date: How often does your muse get a date?

Starting a Family Headcanon Asks!

Early in Rudy and Carol's parenthood, it was easier for them to make time in the evening after the kids were in bed for a simple stay-at-home couples' time.

As for full-blown date nights (the ones where they pull all the stops: get dressed up, have a nice evening out, la dee dah fancy stuff, etc.), it helps when you have besties next door who are also parents and can coordinate play-dates to benefit the kids' socialization... and maybe even some lovey-dovey time with each parent's respective spouses.

Regardless, the 3-way Venn diagram of 'Rudy's free time,' 'Carol's free time,' and 'play-date is at the Dreemurr household' is shaped like half an almond. They'd be really lucky if they can fit in a date night once every six months.

Do you have any other family members? Parents, siblings, grandparents, cousins, etc.?

Actually, rabbit monsters would have families 3x larger than this...

🏷️Do they give their partners cute nicknames?

My Muse in a Relationship ?s

Yep!

I mean, "big guy" isn't cute at all, but I think "Gorey" is. Plus, it's canon. Got the idea from an RP partner that Rudy's pet name for Carol is "Care Bear," which is the cutest one of all, honestly.

(🚀 How far are they willing to go for the person they love?)

My Muse in a Relationship ?s

Rudy's not the hopeless romantic type who shouts about everything he'll do for his lover up and down the hills... but he is dedicated. He'll absolutely put his needs aside to support his partner in pursuing whatever they want.

You see it in Rudy's relationship with Carol; how he supported her run for mayor every step of the way -- leading her campaigns, running BBQs to spread the word, visiting door-to-door -- essentially helping with her "image problem."

It's also in his relationship with Undertale Asgore, who'd accept he has duties and wait for him to visit, all while wishing they could have it better... but absolutely drawing the line because one such "duty" (*coughcough* stabby stabby) is too brutal to have his children to be around it.

Thinking about this post and the tags I added to it made me think of a cute headcanon.

Male and female reindeers have antlers at different times of the year. Both Rudy and Carol would alternate resting their heads on each others' shoulders depending on who doesn't have the antlers at the time.

So in winter, Carol's the headrest. When spring rolls around, Rudy's the honorary cushion.

{{ 👫Do they display affection in public? What about in private? }}

My Muse in a Relationship ?s

Yep. One of Rudy's love languages is physical touch, but it doesn't mean he goes overboard with the PDA. Besides hand-holding and wrapping his arm around his partner’s waist, he may even be caught doing the oh-so scandalous display of... leaning his (anterless) head on his partner's shoulder!

GASP! Get a ROOM, you two! /sarcasm

Oh yeah, and he'll smooch his partner under the mistletoe, citing "Mistletoe Law."

In private, he’s not overly cuddly, but he likes expressing his affection with kisses and caresses. Little things, like stroking their cheek, brushing their hair out of their face, and squeezing and rubbing his thumb over his partner’s knuckle while holding their hand.

How does Rudy deal with Exes?

This wholesome dad is a Bitter Betty depending on the severity of the relationship's falling out. Rudy is the kind of guy who'd default to the 'They don't want me? Fine. I don't want 'em, either. I mean, look at me, I'm the whole package!' kind of mindset when he's dumped. He'd subject his friends to low-key disses about his ex disguised as jokes to cope. Despite the venting, his disinterest in confrontation kicks in if he runs into the ex. He'd give them the silent treatment and pretend they don't exist. 'After all, what else is left to say?' he'd think.

After that tense period (and maybe even after expressing a bit of regret to his closest buddies), Rudy would actually act normal around the ex. At worse, continuing the silent treatment but at least acknowledging their existence. At best, talking to them. 'They're missing out on a good thing. But hey, life goes on!'

Is your muse attracted to any features in particular?

Vanilla Sunday meme

He likes them blonde furry-type monsters for sure. And he's definitely a chest man (on both men and women) lmao.

Levels of Tolerance

~ Rudy and Carol during courtship ~ Rudy: "Hawt DAMN, baby. You're one saucy bitch! WHOOO!!" Carol: *dead serious* "Rudolph. Do not use that word at me again."

~ Rudy and Asgore as college buddies ~ Rudy: "Of course I'm right, you dumbass!!" *laughs* Asgore: *doesn't think twice and laughs along with him*

Poor sweet innocent Noelle.

The little girl who hid behind her dad when meeting new people, who was frightened when Kris pulled pranks on her, who cried and squealed when something went wrong in her video game, who'd freeze up like a deer in headlights when encountering anything scary.

She'd never enjoy horror films or explore the dark arts. She'd never make others freeze in place and enclose her friend and classmate in a casket of ice.

Not Rudy's little doe. No way, NEVER.

I can imagine Rudy sarcastically calling Queen “Mother” if she ever interacted with him.

Just thinking about her line about teenagers being big kids and adults being even bigger kids and her saying “Go To Your Room” to a grown-ass man... XD
