#Corrupted Chara

[clobertina]

Finally done… JEEZ lol.

Truthfully, idk how to feel about the new design… but hey at least it’s done now lol

And at least it’s better than the original design lol

[talltale-lore]

Probably not possible to code but I can dream (no, I cannot code btw, I write my AU as if it where a fan-game for funsies)

But I imagine at the very end of CCFF’s battle, because of how much power taking the human souls on the surface gave them, Chara takes things to the next level by quite literally breaking the fourth wall… Bringing their battle to the computer desktop screen.

Frisk, completely acting on their own at this point (long story, tldr character development causes Frisk to act on their own accord) tells the player if we want to get through this, they have to work together. Frisk moves their soul to avoid attacks on their own and pressing SAVE, while the player has to help by moving the box Frisk’s soul is in, including minimizing it for example (and by doing other things). Chara pretty much uses your own computer and applications against you. They prevent you from using your settings. And much more.

TW: Kidnapping and involuntary servitude. Dehumanization, both of Killer and Murder (who is dehumanized by both Nightmare and Killer, despite how Killer isn’t aware of/doesn’t much care how he comes off, even if that’s not the intention.)

Hunting, predator/unwilling prey dynamics that is encouraged. Pet/master as well.

Also past hints to previous hunts, starvation as punishment, abuse.

Was thinking about how canon Murder was said to never want to willingly join Nightmare and wouldn’t have any interest in other AUs or ATs outside of his own, and I was thinking about how there’s a canonical Something New timeline where Nightmare just straight up yoinked up Killer and took him into involuntary servitude.

And then I was thinking about these two facts with a Bad Sans Gang AU, and my first thought was “flight risk Murder” and predator/prey dynamics with Murder and Killer (they’re both prey and predator bc Murder is very good at setting traps) and owner/pet dynamics with Nightmare and Killer.

Like, NM is old and ancient and spent some time away from most mortals for quite awhile and Killer didn’t really fight back or attempt to escape him as he yoinked him up, so he assumes it’ll just be the same with Murder.

Only, nope. First mission out and the guy’s making an immediate run for it. Killer has to track him down and drag him back, which presented a surprisingly good challenge because this guy is fast and light on his feet and good at thinking quickly (like Killer). He set up so many various traps or made impromptu ones, he kept Killer on his toes.

This becomes a bit of a routine (no one uses that word around Stage 2 Killer, because then it becomes something to avoid).

Nightmare sends them out, Murder tries to run if he has the energy and Determination, Killer hunts him down with something bordering on amusement and glee.

He’s never hunted another version of himself down quite like this before, and unsurprisingly this leads to moments of squabbling and vicious fighting between Murder and Killer who gets closer and closer to Stage 3 with every hunt. He’s having fun, falling into habit, the thrill of the chase.

They always both come back bloody, beaten, injured, and exhausted, Killer either carrying Murder bridal style or by the scruff of his hoodie, but Killer is uncharacteristically pleased and almost happy to be hunting someone down. (“You fell back into form easy enough, huh. Just like old times, right, partner?”)

Murder is always beyond exhausted and pissed, something bordering on realizing how powerless he actually is when compared to Nightmare (worried he might not ever be able to stop his human because he’ll never get free), and Nightmare is just…endlessly amused.

It’s like watching the cat drag in a mouse to its owner, so he will of course give Killer his well deserved praise and treats. This new behavior is something he hadn’t observed in his weapon yet, and he is admittedly curious.

You’re allowed to rest more today, eat more today. Just make sure to take care of Murder, have him up and ready for the next time. (This is what you’re supposed to do with mortals you don’t want dying on you just yet, right? It seems so tedious..maybe just this one time, just to see what happens.)

Feeling Murder’s anger at Killer, his disgust and discomfort around him (Murder’s embarrassment and humiliation at being wrangled and treated like a pet, even though Killer always takes care of his injuries well just like he does for the cats he adores so much), is like a nice side dish for Nightmare. He can feel Murder’s slowly, ever slowly, dwindling hope; and he assumes it’ll eventually be just like Killer.

That Murder will accept his place, and then will make the best of it, and they’ll all move on from this. Or maybe they’ll keep going but now both his pets will enjoy playing out in the woods or something.

But, no. Murder’s escape attempts begin losing its previous zeal. He’s just doing it because it’s habit now, and not because he thinks he’ll actually get free this time. He causally wanders off, and he spots Killer leaning against a tree like, “so..you come here often?”

He immediately turns around and goes back.

Killer is getting bored and apathetic again, Nightmare can tell. The tingle of “something new” has worn off, Murder is no longer novel. He’s boring and lame now.

But Killer knows he isn’t broken yet. Murder isn’t like him, he can see the spark of defiance and life in those dim eyes. It’s so different from what Killer sees when he dares to catch a glimpse of the reflection in the blade of his knife.

If Murder isn’t broken yet, then he’s just biding time. And Killer can’t wait to see what he does next.

(Who knows. Maybe Killer even does things to attempt to keep Murder’s hope up. Because he wouldn’t be fun if he were just like Killer.) (He doesn’t want anyone becoming like him)

(..of course things would get difficult if Killer starts thinking that Murder could genuinely start escaping him. Hunting someone down brings back memories, feelings, consequences of failure..

Stage 3 will not let this prey get away because no prey means no food means more pain means upset-angry-stomach-body. Pain to stomach and pain to head and pain to bones and soul and disappointment means becoming prey.)

(..eventually, though, it all comes to a head. Maybe Killer finally triggered into Stage 3 and kills Murder in the fight, before it can bring in the prey for observation, proof of having done well.

And maybe this is how Nightmare becomes aware of Stage 3, and is..deeply intrigued about this new side of his weapon. Perhaps this explains why Killer had been behaving oddly, outside of the thrill of something new. Perhaps this wasn’t as new for his killer as Nightmare had thought it was.

The next one they get will be more willing, somehow, someway. “I will get you another friend to play with,” he reassures his killer.)

AU AU AU!!!!!! >:D

Multiverse where it's in some type nuclear explosion then they all live in the aftermath. Ink may or may not have taken part in the explosion and has been missing since. First big change I have is basically you can freely leave and enter any au and most aus are empty and have been raided for any supplies left. Bad guys first because they're my favorite. Horror went back to his au and has been missing ever since. Dust has gone solo and doing surprising good but I wouldn't approach him as he's now being feral honestly lol. Killer who in this au had been swapped so instead of Killer it's Chara and now instead of Chara being a ghost it's Killer! But the same pitch black drippy eyes and soul thingy stay the same (and their design is different but idk how yet lol-) but they still work with Nightmare. And Nightmare who is slightly in his passive form. Almost half his skull is broken from the apple incident and negativity drips from it a lot and quite often. He still has his tendrils but they are weak and goopy and often drip. The corruption is barely there and the only thing keeping him alive currently so he cannot experience positive emotions because positivity = no corruption and no corruption = death. So he mostly relies on Killer/Chara to do his dirty work still while Chara treats him like the old grandpa he is. And I'll figure out the stars and Error later because this is already so long

You like friends??????? I might not post a lot today so I hope this'll keep you entertained!! Hehehehe this is still just a rough draft of the concept plus I just really wanted to do Killer/Chara and Nightmare! Create theories on how the explosion happened >:3

Part 2 <-

[xxplastic-cubexx]

Can we talk about how fcked up Charles can be sometimes? Can we talk about how Charles can sometimes be actually scary as a person? Like he can legit be nefarious sometimes, but those moments are not as talked about as Erik's warcrimes (aside from the holocaust visions from TAS)

girlfriend i promise we're all very aware about how wack charles xavier can be and i assure you his nefarious moments are talked plenty from what i run into. like outside of this inbox most times you breathe charles' name to someone they'll be prepared to start swinging

some random pjii stuff. this makes sense to me and me only but maybe ill explain it at some point in the future !!!

[zomthezom]

I deeply respect those whom consider the Bad Sanses the following:

Nightmare, Murder(canon), Killer, and Horror.

People who put cross in are slightly less respected but it may be forgivable. People who put Error in though…

Error is a NEUTRAL UNIT. He destroys universe. He’s ABOVE all these other anomalies and their idiotic teams. He is chaotic neutral but also on the lawful evil side. He doesn’t have the time to join a team when he could just be destroying things. He’s that one kid that would rather break peoples sandcastles and lego sets rather than play twister.

Cross only joined to get his AU back. He was desperate. Nightmare sensed this desperation and negativity, and grabbed it and took advantage. The underverse XEvent was broken. Even more broken than 0.7 part two Cross. The ONLY way Cross would remain in the bad sanses is if the events of 0.4 occurred differently, and stayed with XChara. He would have left soon after either way, as his ulterior motive is to regain his timeline and in season two to defeat XGaster.

this isn’t a hate post it’s just my reasoning why the ‘murder time trio’ are the only servants under nightmare.

Apothecary AU - Cross & Nightmare Sleep Dilemma: Draft

Welp here's another mini comic draft story. This one was almost done not long after Horror & Nightmare's draft story. I'm working on the mini comics when I'm able to right now and I'll be showing a preview to one of the pages to the Dust & Nightmare Chat mini comic hopefully soon. I've also got a few other character designs that I'm working on as well. So whatever gets shown first, just depends on which I get done.

Also the ------ lines in the draft story, is mostly there to give a slight visual that a certain amount of time has passed.

Anyways onto the mini comic story draft! Enjoy!

---------------------

Cross tiredly stretched out. It was late into the night and he had finally managed to finish up a bunch of paperwork that he needed to get done for the day. He yawned and looked up at the night sky. Thinking as he watched the stars for a little. He sighed slightly as a cold breeze hit his face.

Leaning forward on one of the many railings and just relaxed. Especially since, if he goes to bed now and falls asleep. Then he’ll just wake up sooner and have to do a bunch of work again. He really doesn’t want to do that to think about paperwork. Making a face at the idea of having to sit behind a desk. Reading a bunch of reports, writing replies, and just so many papers.

Looking out into the one of many courtyards within the empire walls, he quietly watched some of the guards. As they changed positions. A few of them noticed him and bowed before hurrying to wherever they needed to be next. After another moment he started to make his way to a different part of the empire, over to the Honmaru section (the most fun but also annoying part. Doing a bunch of online searching and reading to make sure that I’m as close to factually correct about things!).

As he walked through the outer halls of the empire. Feeling the breeze on his face as he walked. He took notice of someone out in the clearing by the cherry blossom tree. Raising a brow and looking over at whoever it was. Noticing that it was Nightmare.

The dark skeleton was standing by the tree and looking up at the branches and the night sky. He wasn’t really doing much but starting. Probably lost in his thoughts. Though that made Cross wonder… why was he up so late?

Thinking for a moment, Cross decided to go over and interact with the other. It gives him an excuse to not sleep just yet. As he walked over he noticed that Nightmare seemed tired. Has he been having a hard time sleeping?

Nightmare thought and quietly stared at the sky. Slowly blinking as he watched the stars. Jumping slightly when he felt someone tap his shoulder. Quickly turning and looking at whoever it was. Once he saw that it was just Cross he relaxed a little. “Oh… it’s just you.”

Cross chuckled a little. “Sorry about that.” He rubbed the back of his neck. Smiling a little at the other. “I was heading to my room for the night and saw that you were still awake.” He thought and stood next to Nightmare. Looking up at the night sky. “Are you okay? I’ve noticed that you’ve been tired more lately.”

Nightmare thought as he watched Cross for a moment. Then slowly looked back at the night sky himself. “... I just haven’t been able to sleep much lately. It’s nothing.” He shrugged a little.

Cross frowned a little. “Trouble sleeping you say? Have you been working on some medicine to help you sleep?” He wondered out loud. Hoping to figure out the cause of the others problems.

Nightmare shook his head. “No. No medicine will really fix the problem that causes my sleep issues.” He sighed a little. Trying to rub as much of his cervical bones that the metal collar blocked. “It’s fine. My body will eventually tire itself out enough to where I can just sleep despite the issue.”

Cross quietly watched Nightmare out of the corner of his sockets. Staring at the collar with pure hate. “I’m guessing it’s cause of those restraints.” He frowned a little. Crossing his arms as he wondered how to get those restraints off of him. The royal blacksmith has yet to figure out how to break them off of Nightmare’s body without having to bring a hammer and chisel to the metal. They told him that he’d rather not risk harming Nightmare, as there is a good chance that they might accidentally harm Nightmare instead of helping them if they were to try and break it while it’s on his body.

It angered him but he also understood. The chance that the chisel might break through but also break Nightmare’s bones was high. Especially for the metal collar around his neck. It could possibly leave him paralyzed so they're stuck looking for another way to free him.

Nightmare said nothing but slowly nodded. Tiredly staring at the stars. “... I’m really tired…” He quietly muttered.

Cross hummed a little and thought. “... What would you need to make your sleep more comfortable?” He raised a brow and glanced at the other.

Nightmare tiredly looked at Cross and thought for a moment. “... Back in the Demon’s Temptations Brothel… my SMM and all the others that lived in the Brothel…” He turned his head and watched a firefly. “They made the bed side walls a bit taller almost all around, then filled the inside with many pillows and blankets. So the bumps of the back restraints would have a lot of cushion and fall between the pillows. All the piled up pillows would cushion me… keeping most of my weight from resting on the metal.” He explained and kept watching the firefly.

Cross nodded a little as he thought about it. “I see.” He watched the firefly as well. Smiling a little. He turned towards Nightmare. Making the other look at him as Cross held his hand out. “Why don’t you come with me tonight?” He offered.

Nightmare stared at Cross. “Eeeeh… excuse me… what do you mean by that crowned prince?” He nervously stared at the other. Not wanting to get in trouble but at the same time was worried by what the other means by coming with them for the night.

Cross blinked a little. Then laughed a little. Realizing the possible implications behind what he meant. “Pardon me. Allow me to rephrase myself.” He smiled at him. “Why don’t you join me tonight and get a good night's sleep. My bed is very soft and I still have paperwork that needs to be finished. So I won’t be getting much sleep tonight. With how soft my bed is. It might help you get some sort of comfort tonight. I just hope you don’t mind me leaving a lit candle while I work.” He nervously chuckled.

Nightmare thought about it. “... No strings attached?” He tiredly questioned. With him growing up in the Brothel and sin district. He fell back on some old instincts he was taught. To make sure that no one would try anything with him if they ever offered something.

Cross blinked a little at that comment but didn’t really say anything about it. Nightmare did say he lived in a Brothel before someone kidnapped him and sold him to the empire. “No strings attached.” He promised. Smiling when Nightmare took his hand. He lead the way and thought about how he’s going to have Nightmare’s bed worked on later.

------

Cross quietly drew on some paper. Thinking about how Nightmare described how his bed in that Brothel was set up. Tiredly looking over at the door as it slid open and the sunlight blinded him slightly. He rubbed his sockets and yawned a little as his youngest siblings ran in. “Hey Xrisk. Xara. Please keep it down.” He tiredly smiled as Xrisk ran over and jumped onto his lap.

Xara thought and looked at the bed. Tilting their head as they stared at Nightmare. “Why do you have someone outside of your concubine in your bed?” They playfully grinned. “Dad’s gonna be so mad.” They walked over to Cross.

Cross glared at Xara. “I haven’t done anything to them. That’s my Apothecary.” He pointed out while ruffling Xrisk’s hair. “Those dumb restraints causes Nightmare to have trouble sleeping.” Xrisk moved out from under Cross’ hand and looked at the other monster themselves. “I just wanted them to have a peaceful nights rest.” He looked back at the drawing as he carefully drew taller walls to the bed drawing.

“I’ve mostly stayed up finishing up some paperwork I left here the other night while he slept.” Cross smiled as he finished the drawing.

Xrisk walked over to the bed and stared at Nightmare. Xara walked over and stood next to them. The two of them staring at Nightmare. Mostly staring at the restraints on his body. Xrisk glared at the metal and tightly clenched a fist. “Try not to wake him up please. I wish to give him the day off to rest for as long as he needs.” Cross commented behind them.

Xara looked at Cross. “Xrisk is angry.” They commented on their mute sibling. Making Cross look over at them. Humming and listening. “They don’t like whoever put that on your apothecary.” They crossed their arms. “I don’t like it either.”

Cross nodded in agreement. “I agree with you. I don’t like it either. We’ve been trying to find a way to remove it but… so far we have yet to have any success.” He sighed a little and got up. Taking the paper with him. “I’m going to his room to change his bed. You wish to join me?” He smiled at them. The twins looked at one another before running over to Cross. Cross quietly chuckled and nodded. “I thought so.” He smiled and closed the door behind them.

------

Nightmare thought as he looked at his bed. He almost slept the entire day away. Having gotten up at noon. He had been so confused till Cross had walked in and explained everything that happened the night before. He really wish someone had woken him up that morning so he could work on making medicines and everything… But it was also so nice to get some more sleep…

Shaking his head a little he looked back at the bed. Apparently Cross decided to change up his bed. Using some wood planks to make the sides taller, while also leaving the walls the same in one corner by his feet so he can still sit on the edge if he wanted. Inside these walls are a bunch of pillows and some blankets that have been piled up inside. Giving it a bunch of cushion that he could basically sink into.

Thinking for a moment he slipped his shoes off and got onto his bed. Laying down on his back and staring at the ceiling. Sighing a little as he could feel the pillows on his back. The metal barely touching the futon (mattress?). Smiling a little as he glanced to the side. Pulling a blanket closer and over his body. He relaxed at how close to comfortable he was.

While he’ll most likely never be able to be completely comfortable, especially with the restraints. This was close. Not feeling the metal pushing on his back. Or pressing down on his spine and ribs like they would if he’d lay on his stomach. Or how they’d basically be crushing the side of his ribs if he were to lay on either of his side.

Cross thought as he leaned on Horror. Yawning a little as he nuzzled into him. Killer raised a brow at Cross as he held onto Arch. While Dust sat on Cross’ other side holding onto Mo. “Why are you so tired?” Killer questioned him.

Cross blinked a little. “... Was fixing something up so Nightmare can sleep better.” He mumbled and nuzzled more into Horror. Horror hummed as he wrapped an arm around Cross. Smiling at the other.

Killer bounced Arch. “He was having sleep issues?” Leaning back onto Cross’ lap. “Wouldn’t some sort of medicine work better?”

Cross shook his head. “No. No. He couldn’t really sleep cause of those restraints.” He hummed at Arch and held his hand out. Smiling as Arch took his finger. “Apparently it’s hard for him to get comfortable as the metal made it hard for him to peacefully sleep.”

Dust hummed and nodded. “Can’t say I blame him. Having that metal press up into the bones. And making his body arch when on his back.” He poked Mo’s nose and got a laugh out of him. “Or how that weight would be pushing into his back if he laid on his front.”

“Oh. That makes sense… Guess laying on his side wouldn’t help either.” Killer scratched his cheek. Horror hummed a little in agreement. “Huh… Well whatever you did should help.” Killer grinned at Cross. Cross smiled at them and hummed a little. Slowly falling asleep.

Not me calling myself out lmao

[talltale-lore]

Like how Asriel takes all the monster souls in the underground in Undertale, Chara (at one point) takes all the human souls on the surface so they can enact their plan (to destroy every universe one by one) in Talltale.

Can you freaking imagine the amount of power that would give them???

[howlsofbloodhounds]

Killers relationships with genuine and self proclaimed royalties and monarchs and deities and “higher beings” legit need to be studied

[passive-nightmaresans]

Here's some sketches for the au! (Fun fact Nightmare's vision is awful!)

He refuses to wear glasses so here's him with a monocle lol- and don't mind my awful handwriting it's hard to write digitally-

[theveryconfusedartistsart-blog]

This, is my take on (Pacifist route, never murdered anyone) Frisk, or at least my take on them as a teenager.

They're nonbinary (AFAB), Filipino, they don’t remember their true last name (Bulalacao) due to traumatic memory loss, so they comically like to only go by as just 'Frisk' even if they're adopted by Toriel and Asgore.

I basically created their personality from the narration of their actions in the Pacifist Route and ended up with a very goofy, flirty, weird kid with a heart of gold. (Think also of Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket, except they can't cook!)

After using this version of them all through out my fanfics and fanart, I early on realized that I really love them but also realized that they also falsely became 'cannon' in my head, and it unfortunately sometimes makes running into other fan's interpretations of Frisk difficult for me to get used to if they're too different from mine (it's bad, I know, I've been hiding in my AU corner for too long!)

But don't worry, I made that realization a long time ago and fully recognize my version of Frisk is basically an OC, and so are everyone else's interpretations, it's what makes all these Undertale and Deltarune alternate universes so fun.

I remember the first moment I had experiencing a vastly different Frisk than mine was years ago when I saw a bushy bearded masculine Frisk and I was like ":O??!!!"

But yeah, I'm much better about it now and fully accept all the different Frisks.
