i'm heading off to bed soon but before i do, here's some skeletal outlines / a basis of some good development and plots to put into frisk bc i decided that since the buttercups appeared after a tragedy, the roses are gonna appear after a "miracle" or whatever i'm going to call it.

- someone renaming frisk after they like,, maybe spill their guts and vent to them about how they feel about the whole thing, and then after 3 years they *finally* have a name that means something to them, that's theirs and something they can look forward to be called to. it's got to be someone frisk is close to also, not just a guy out of the blue. someone they trust and care about a lot.

- learning how to read and write after all this time. like i swear this kid might just start crying if someone offered to teach them because they've wanted to learn how for so long.

- getting over their fear of water totally and completely. being taught how to swim (somehow). being taught how to fish. being shown the fish and the shells and all the pretty things the water has to offer. being shown that the water wouldn't hurt them.

- frisk returning to the underground with the intent of freeing all the others- only to discover that it's abandoned. they dont know what happened or how or why, but they are overwhelmed with relief because they think it's finally over. probably fall asleep outside of it bc it was a long walk and wake up to find themself absolutely covered in roses lmao.

talk on this more later.

FRISK . wrote:

here we go

— can be pretty nice and quiet from the get go like,,, a real lil sweetheart but fuck with their friends or their family and you've got yourself a god damn problem, buddy

— very sentimental; keeps trivial things like wrappers and bottle caps in their satchel.

— usually perceptive as hell like. very good at figuring someone out if they're really looking.

— doesn't cope with loss well and has forcefully forgotten entire individuals in the past.

— umm realistically this kid is about three years old but they're stuck in a permanent time loop that affects them physically and mentally so.

— they don't actually have a name. frisk was just a handle they gave themself after one of their adoptive father's girlfriends, who they were told a lot about, died.

— and honestly they don't like using the handle 'frisk' anymore because they kind of feel like an imposter who totally ruined its value and that they're making the original frisk roll around in her grave for taking it. please help them.

— not so low key has abandonment issues. hates very much to be alone and might even cry if they're like that long enough.

— frisk has,, a lot of triggers. loud noises, fire, water, certain smells, certain people etc, are all associated with people and things from their past and they very much so struggle to cope.

— uhh frisk was brought up in a place called the underground, which was a trafficking system that caged unwanted children and then killed / ate them when got to be a certain age. they're one of the few to have escaped.

— their mind suppresses a lot of the traumas they have endured so frisk can't remember most of what happened in the underground anyway, along with other things.

— okay um some happier facts?? they think rainbows are sentient creatures and get really happy when they pop out after a rainy day like. just watch this big dorky smile grow on their face its cute.

— they're taste in music is hella limited so they only know what their adopted father artpop listened to,, which was elvis presley. little baby has a rock and roll heart.

— they tend to fidget a lot and can't seem to stay in one place. frisk always has to be doing something, whether it's drawing in the dirt or joining a border patrol.

— they absolutely love fairytales and being read to. red riding hood is their favorite.

— speaking of which, they also have a red cloak and very very much like to pretend they're *the* red riding hood because they really just love that story.

— they're easily entertained and always have an eye out for the little things in life like cuddles, flowers, etc.

— oh and while we're on cuddles this kid is hella touch starved and affectionate. if they come to trust / like you, they will be hanging onto you 24/7 sorry not sorry

— they can't read or write and it upsets them to no end!!

— every buttercup on their body is actually covering a really big or deep scar and if someone looks close enough they can probably see them. touching the flowers will make frisk extremely hostile towards you.

— they do very poorly in extremely stressful situations, falling back on their animal impulses / fight or flight instincts.

— frisk is very honest with their emotions and feelings and it is very easy to read what's going on in their head.

— really oblivious to innuendos and romance in general like. watch them sit their for five minutes trying to wrap their head around the concept of someone loving someone like that.

— the look of surprise on people's faces when they cuss is what they live for tbh

— LIKE THEY DON'T CUSS A WHOLE LOT BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN WHEN THEY'RE MAD THEY'LL JUST GO "FUCK" AND SOMEONE SOMEWHERE IS LIKE 'AKSJFDGH DID THAT REALLY COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH??¿'

— frisk is physically ill and tense when in the presence of shadow veilers or around their scent

— poor baby is very nightmare prone and prefers to share a room with someone so when they wake up from it, they aren't alone.

— hermes is a lil pig frisk found way back in the sanctuary. one of the medics helped take care of him with frisk when he was just a babe and now he's very devoted to her and them.

— they know sign language! one of their dads taught it to them and they tend to fall back on it when they lose their nerve!!

— has a naturally soft voice but if they ever start to scream, it's like a demon possessed their lungs or something and there's a notable strain to their tone and it's just Not Pretty to listen to.

— has a very unhealthy hero complex; believes that there is good in everyone but also counters themself because they're loyal before they are good or right and frisk might blind themself to the faults of others to keep away intrusive thoughts. this often pulls them into unhealthy friendships.

— little baby can sing.

— they love to garden but they completely SUCK at it. that doesn't stop them from trying though lol.

— spiders scare the living hell out of them like keep those things away from the flower child, they'll cry.
