Toriel Week Day 1: War
I like to think that Tori was a sort of head medic/frontline nurse during The War!! Her healing powers and excellent control over her magic just like up too well with that for me haha. Here are some Wartime Toriel head cannons, cause my brain isn’t wanting to formulate this into actual naritive paragraphs right now lol:
• She has JUST married Asgore when the War started, and was only newly a princess (Asgore’s parents were still the reigning king and queen.) So she was quite young. Only in her early 20s.
• She’d always been good at healing magic. Her mothers taught her at a very young age how to, and had her practice it as often as she could. It just made sense to start an infermery with other monsters who were talented in those spells.
• Originally, niether her nor Asgore were allowed to help with the War efforts. The rest of the Royal family had deemed it too risky to be on the battle field and stuck to a much more passive, strategical sort of roll. Toriel, who was born as one of the people her in-laws scorned, had none of it. There was no time to argue or press, so the pair just rebelled and went out to help thier people hands on. This set the mood for the rest of thier time ruling together.
• The actual War itself only lasted for a couple of days, a week at most. However, conflicts leading up to it had been going on for centuries, and steadily getting worse. The villiage Toriel lived in before marrying Asgore was actually raided a couple of times.
• Toriel still has scars on her shoulders and arms from the first attacks AND her time as a medic. She’s run out to collect the injured before and it shows.
• Probably one of the worst days of her young life was whenever she was tending to the wounded and Gerson ended up getting rolled in. He was missing an arm, an eye, and was just really fucking banged up to top it all off. She was sure he was going to die.
• She lost her in-laws, one of her mothers, and several close aunts and uncles to the war, be it the raids, the conflict itself, or simply being trapped on the wrong side of the barrier. Not being able to process that grief and immediately going into business mode afterwords is what really set the stage for her coping mechinisms later in life.
• It took years for Toriel to come down from war mode. You can’t just walk away from that kind of trauma easily.
• She still has nightmares and sleepwalking episodes. Once she awoke in her living room, desperately trying to give CPR to a couch cushion. It was a bad night.
it's never just adults fighting a war

Toriel Week day 1: War
Sorry I didn’t get a full artwork done, I didn’t have enough time. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy.
Toriel had to kill during the war…but seeing so many young humans risking their lives made her feel ill. So, after the war, she vowed to never kill another, human or monster, ever again….
(I personally HC that Toriel didn’t fight in the war and was a young princess who’s parents died before being forced to live underground, but that’s just me. )
Toriel Week Day 2 - Queen
It’s funny, how much can change over the years :(. I have LOTS of thoughts about the queen Toriel ending and how it must effect her emotionally. At least most of the time she has some friends to support her.
Toriel Week 2022 - Day 1: War
"Mom was really scary during the war?"
"Oh yes," he laughed. "She's never told you? She was not just my Queen - she was my General."
Happy Toriel week! I ended up burning out after the sketch so I put together something that wasn't just black and white lol. I'd like to think her prowess on the battlefield made her one of the most feared monsters in the entire war with her fire magic - I also imagine Grillby as being old enough to at least be alive during the war too! I’m enjoying seeing all of the Toriel love, much love Square ❤️
A close call.
Day one of Toriel Week!
I think homegirl and Asgore both had some pretty close calls on the battle field. He saved her life a few times, and she sure as hell returned the favor.
Day 2: Queen
The happiest time of her life was probably when she was a queen with happy children, a happy husband, and a happy kingdom. Simpler, brighter times!
For @cuddlyquiche’s most excellent Toriel Week 2022! I’m gonna try to do as many of these as I can! <3
Toriel Week Day 3: Flowers
Poor girl has been out through quite abit in my past two drawings, so I thought I’d do something happy today lMAO.
I like to think that tiny spots of sun poke through the underground in a couple of places, but that spot in the ruins is easily the biggest and brightest. And the flowers are so soft. I could easily see Toriel having taken a cat nap there once or twice.
Toriel Week day 2: Queen
A day late but here it is.
Toriel Week Day 4 - Heartache
Ok so. As doodle Square says, this drawing is INTENSE. I’m not sure what possessed me last night to draw this. But. Here we are. If you don’t want to see Toriel trying to resuscitate/save Chara with healing magic, don’t click. I’m putting this under a cut too, so you can just scroll past. Thank you.
I think Toriel tried her damndest to save Chara. Litterally everything in her. The only reason Asgore and Asriel aren’t there is because the former didn’t want the latter to see his sibling and mother like this. It was. Bad. It takes a lot to make Toriel shed a tear, but the physical pain of pumping that much healing magic and the emotional pain was just to much for her. I think the worst part is that their death is the kickstarter for just. So many more tradgeties. Owie.
Toriel Week Day 5 - Friend
Sorry I couldn’t do anything bigger for today!! I’m on vacation right now and was busy getting pummeled by the ocean lMAO.
Anyways!!
I like to think that Toriel’s lil friend group consists of those who could actually meet her in the Ruins. Don’t get me wrong, the main cast is in there too!! I just like to imagine the Ruins gang hanging out to. Cause I need to spread my Nabstablook and Toriel friendship propaganda lol.
Muffet and Toriel didn’t actually meet face to face until waaaaaay after getting to the surface. But anyone who gives that much money to the Spider Bakesale is worth being friendly with in her book
