FORGETTABLE AU SONG????? MASSIVE W??????
Tumblr media
I really really like this song, just recently heard it from this new album When Death Was Mine, I highly recommend this song + the entire album + the artists whole work!! its all really good :3
But this song, I feel, works REALLY well for Sans’ POV of what we all know is gonna happen with Wingdings…
FIRST BIT!
How could this happen to us? The push and tug of your trust: are my favorite lines when attaching it to this AU. The perspective being Sans before the incident. We don’t know if Sans had been there during it, or if they’d had some sort of fight before it, or even something else; But I imagine GENERALLY something horrible and dramatic happened before. For the purposes of this im going with them having a big confrontation days before shit goes down. And this line would take place after that confrontation.
The curtains closed, the doors been shut: Wingdings being SILLY! and shutting everything and everyone out to do Gaster shenanigans!!! YAY!
Kicking up dust. Im playing the FOOL again: that dust ofc not being any USUAL dust, no no *finger wag* theres a really cool visual in my head of it being like a transition of Sans going outside to walk it off, going into Snowdin and kicking the snow, before that turning into dust being blown off from HOLES BEIN PUT INTO HANDS!!! for whatever reason why does he do that/why does that happen 😭 i’m excited to find out. Oh yeah and the fool part refers to how currently Sans feels foolish for trusting Wingdings that everything was totally A-Okay/he could handle it himself and Sans didn’t need to push.
SECOND BIT!
Am I gullible enough to take a walk in your shoes? The way you strut with a bluff, the way you act so aloof: More saltiness on Sans’ half. I love Wingdings’ style of lying, he just doesn’t say enough to actually lie 😭😭 I hate him sm.
As if the neckties a noose: this was UNNECESSARY
You’d dance on air for a bet: ok yes I can totally see this as WD just being a risk taker n shit. BUT ALSO PAPYRUS CAN WALK ON AIR SO ITS FUNNYHSDHSDHDSH seriously why does this song work so well
I’m used to balancing acts up to my neck: I really like this with Sans’ character not even just within this AU. He’s doing a LOT a lot of the time, while also making himself look lazy which is just another balancing act in itself. BUT for this AU specifically id imagine its more about Wingdings specifically than just his life in general-
LAST BIT!!!
The truth is that as the older you get, they’re more indifferent to you. The less they’ll act all impressed: This one would be more from Wingdings’ perspective cause yeah Sans is currently pretty frustrated I DON’T THINK HE’D BE THIS RUDE- I think this works better with the context of this being WDs own doubts, he was trying to figure out how to FREE THE UNDERGROUND- now he’s tryna free the godamn universe like MAN 😭 he’s gotta stop putting so much pressure on himself. Though I really REALLY like the idea of him not really caring about making relationships, but still needing to be loved by the wider public in a way. Like relationships? booo. Reputation? YAAAASSS
They’ll find all sorts of new ways to get inside your head: same premise as the last lines but I wanna highlight it cause it also works really well with Wingdings again, spiraling down the madness pit. He’s finding all sorts of new ways to get inside his OWN HEAD overthinking, smh…
Might die before ive said my peace: Wingdings might (will) die before Sans can say his peace to him….
Between you and me, if it’s alright, i’m not staying: Sans, in fact, does not stay at the lab! Those days are over, now it’s time to talk to mysterious door ladies and do nothing at sentry stands and purposefully annoy your brother.
The song as a whole gets a tad more aggressive and energetic than I feel Sans would be like, but the visuals of this happening inside of his head while he’s just kinda going 😶 irl is really fun :3
I haven’t heard the whole album yet cause I need to digest songs one by one especially if they’re such hard hitters- SO MAYBE ILL BE BACK WITH MORE WHEN DEATH WAS MINE FORGETTABLE AU SONGS!!!
oh yeah also the album title and cover is like ALSO REALLY GOOD FOR THIS AU WHY IS MY LIFE LIKE THIS WHY IS EVERYTHING CONNECTED 😭😭 I gotta redraw the cover with Wingdings wait omg hold on
Tumblr media
ok quick sketch
LISTEN TO THE ALBUM GANG ITS SO FUN!!

first off take this old drawing I don't think I ever put here??
Tumblr media
SECOND!!
(Because this is a better approach then throwing people in the deep end)
Would YOU be interested in joining a undertale rp server that focuses on collaborative storytelling (everybody coming up with their own unique ideas, while keeping the story close to canon undertale) to create something cool, that'll later be adapted into something like a comic??
In other words, a cool role-playing server in which we can discuss cool headcanons and ideas and turn them into a story!!
(HONESTLY a huge inspiration for this was finding cool people who like classic undertale and writing stories together... cough cough.. figuring out what is UP with those skeleton brothers... cough cough..)
I
BTW! IT WILL NOT BE A SANS AU SERVER! ITS AN UNDERTALE ONE!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bonus stuff while I was brainstorming the server thing!! (Slightly inspired by forgettable bc everything I make is currently slightly infused with it)

LOVE this au, how did you get the idea to make it?
First of, thank you so much, I'm really happy you're liking it ! I've been following your blog for a while now because for the Forgettable AU fanarts, so it means a lot !
And for the question, the very first glimpses of the idea appeared less than a year ago (March or Avril I think), after a really bad friendship breakup, and when I began to make a LOT of Kingdings (Asgore x Gaster) sketches 💀
I liked this ship, still do honestly xD
I started to imagine what will later become Aster's design here, and then began to think about his backstory, personality and all. The idea of Gaster coming back after a Pacifist route appeared at some point in all that, while I was making cozy and chill sketches of Gaster and Asgore gardening together on the Surface
I was talking about it to my friends every day (I still do x)), and the idea became more and more complexe.
(The first script I wrote was very VERY different from what you'll get, believe me, I improved it a lot x))
So at some point, I decided that I wanted to make something out of all that yapping, my very first fanwork after 8 years in the Undertale obsession.
I don't really know why I never made anything before, not even a fanfic, but there's a beginning to everything ig ✨
(Just in case, I said here that the AU began with Kingdings sketches, but the story absolutely won't be about this ship, I don't know if I will even mention it tbh, though technically if you want to ship Asgore and Aster in GASTER'S RETURN I won't stop you x))

Hey, so,
I saw you were talking about songs and how they relate to the characters in forgettable. And that inspired me I was thinking about songs for my own characters.
then I thought about how one song that fits w/ one of my characters fits with wingding/gaster.
Sharks, I present to you.
This is home, by Cavetown. (Long ask)
Tumblr media
The lyrics about "being upset" fits with wingding just wanting to be alone and stop being nagged by sans to go outside.
Again, like you were talking about love not being platonic 😭, "I cannot fall in love" could be interpreted however you want.
Windings "avoiding the stress" of leaving the lab.
"are you tired of me yet?" Could be wingdings thinking about how sans has to walk around eggshells around him almost every day (trying to get him to do other things besides work). He could realize this and choose to ignore it? Or be completely unaware of the stress he causes his brother? Idk you decide.
"I'm a little sick right now" could be gaster trying to persuade himself that he's not really gone and that he's still wingdings/papyrus.
"when I'm ready I will fly us out of here" is wingdings/gaster still trying to help monsters escape the underground (delta rune/ "the angel"/etc).
There's more but I feel like I've yapped enough 😅
I think I got the point across? Idk let me know what you think cause I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT AAHHH
I love your au SO MUCH and wish you only the best with your endeavors!! Have a good day!!!
OHH a whole analysis there omg hehe more songsss yayyy
"Get a load of this monster, he doesn't know how to communicate" But it's literal and he literally is a monster, a skeleton monster, and he can't communicate properly because Wingdings lol
ALSOO
So glad ur liking the AU heheh <33

Papyrus thoughts
while it's well known that Sans keeps secrets and doesn't tell you much about himself, it's less talked about how little Papyrus tells you.
The fact that he talks much creates the illusion of depth but all he tells you is basic interests and his interest in the guard. He doesn't really tell you much. Especially in comparison to other characters like Alphys; who tells you her darkest insecurities and regrets. Or undyne who tells you in depth about her motivations and goals. Flowey too tells you lots about his backstory and stuff.
The tells happy lovable skeleton doesn't. I just think it's interesting.
Btw shout out to @forgettable-au for noting this. (it's a really cool comic) and to @the-selfinsert for yapping with me about their first (check him out he'smy bro) (literally!)

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
THIS ONE GOT POSTED WAAAAY EARLIER THAN USUAL, BUT EY- IM NOT COMPLAINING!!! Just was completely bamboozled
SPANISH CLASS VERY QUICKLY BECAME A CHALLENGE OF TRYING NOT TO REACT TO STRONGLY TO THIS INFORMATION 😭😭
( @forgettable-au , go read it 🫵/th)
AAAUUUGH AHA!!! I KNEW IT IT WAS THE RIVER PERSON MWAHAHA all the evidence towards them being friends makes me actually giggle so much- cause why does it make so much sense AND WHY DIDN’T I NOTICE THAT
New head canon acquired… I love how Sans is outwardly mysterious, while Papyrus is just friends with a shitton of mysterious people
(ofc hes also weird- but you get me- VIBES WISE. He is not mysterious vibes wise.)
ANYWHO I really like seeing Papyrus in the judgment hall for fun reasons, and briefly MORE NEW HOME! Thats gotta be CREEEPPYY I feel like its the equivalent of walking around NYC and having it be completely silent and empty, the only sound being your own footsteps. I rock w it tho
lil bitch
Tumblr media
HIS REACTION TO NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE RIVER PERSON IS SO FUNNYNFDHEDH hes so pissed…BAMBOOZLED, even
crack head theory coming from nothing but my own dwindling sanity: River Person is a rogue Gaster Follower, following Papyrus instead of Gaster and being silly. NO, NO. NO NEED TO CLAP! I KNOW IM BRILLIANT ALREADY!
I love em though theyre an underrated side character/NPC, and I love that they’re gonna be coming back cause YESSS. augh the way theyre draawwwnn. AAUGH. Fabric…Pretty…
Also obsessed with Flowey being surprised at the boat turning into a dog while Papyrus and River Person are just chilling
GAAAAHHH AND THEM TELLING PAPYRUS A GAME YOU CAN PLAY WITH A DOG, AND THAT THEY “ASKED AROUND” IT MAKES ME GIGGLE SM THEIR FRIENDSHIP IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Tumblr media
Wait until bro hears about Fun Events
Tumblr media
*bursts into tears*
THEN THIS LAST PAGE- AUGH THERES SO MUCH TO DIGEST BUT FIRST OF ALL I WANNA TALK ABOUT THIS
Tumblr media
the fact that its framed but in a drawer, its with Sans’ things, PAPYRUS’ REACTION. THE FACT THAT SANS DOESNT BOTHER CAUSE HE FEELS LIKE THIS WONT LAST. “””””IM SURE HES GOING TO WANT SOME OF THESE BACK EVENTUALLY””””
idk gang it all just hits a part of my brain that makes me go
Tumblr media
also….in the corner…..”ph”….photo album……maybe…?…..perchance….?????
…FLOWEY GET YOUR VINE OUT OF THE GODAMN WAY
That vine being there + there being such a focus on the picture with Papyrus’ reaction/ how the frame its in is drawn… It makes me think its gonna transition into Flowey grabbing it or something like that “OO! A CLUE!!!” But that might just be me
sorta unrelated…idk why im thinking of this just now, but IM JUMPIN FOR JOY imagining Floweys reaction to the holes in Papyrus’ hands like “OH GOD??? doesnt that…hurt?���
“…Good question!
IN GENERAL…Im just enjoying this so much. In your typical AU comic, itd be the other way around! Papyrus would get some good scenes, sure. But Sans is the one doing all the exploring, doing all the mysterying. BUT THIS AINT YOUR TYPICAL AU COMIC CAUSE of a bunch of reasons- BUT ALSO PAPYRUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hes sooo much fun, so well written, so well DRAWN in this im freaking out about it but attempting to be calm(er)

Gang…
I cant get away with making this a reality for a WHILE, but I got a very heart breaking earth shattering (across time and space) Forgettable AU visual idea that i’ve just gotta share…
As Wingdings falls into his creation, his life flashes before his eyes, and because all of his life Sans has been there… thats all he sees.
More specifically speaking: In the song, This Is Home by Cavetown, as the music swells with “Get a load of this monster…”, as his life flashes before his eyes, crayon drawings of what theyve been told stars, the sun, and the moon look like, turn to realistic uncountable stars in the real sky, then BLACK as Wingdings goes from the underground, the surface, then PAST that to “Heaven”
More Sans is the moon, Wingdings is the sun imagery ((“THE MOON WILL SING” BY THE CRANE WIVES FLASHBACKS))
Tumblr media
Also some falling in general visuals
actually kinda obsessed with this look-
ALSO SOMETHING I NOTICED WHILE WORKING ON THE DTIYS. THE GODAMN- THE FRONT OF THE RIBS LOOKS LIKE A TIE. AND IM MAD ABOUT IT
Tumblr media
this is me fr when I go to Heaven
Throwing this in too cause its related to Wingdings falling, I LOVE this part in the score of Soul.
Tumblr media
I think its PERFECT for a scene like this, the screaming sounds are like actually chilling and the AAAAAAAAAAA ITS SO GOOD
I wanna like go in really hard with some animation some time and make the falling into his creation scene. That wont be happening any time soon cause if I did that id want it to be like a BIGGG project, fully animated, fully colored, all the works

Most valid reaction to the newest Forgettable AU blog post:
(WARNING: LOUD NOISES AND FLASHING LIGHTS/IMAGES)
IM JUST A CHILL GUY WHAT CAN I SAY
for actual analysis im actually going to crazy over the ID card cause THATS SO FUNNY 😭😭😭😭😭 why doesnt he have his own, cmon Asgore give the man an ID card
Tumblr media
WAIT HOLD ON EVERYONE SHUT UP!!!! I ASSUMED THE THING AROUND HIS NECK WAS JUST THE BADGE YOU FIND IN SANS’ LAB…
Tumblr media
i thought it was just his own ID card that wasnt drawn with any detail cause animation/comic friendly designs be damned, but HUH?????
IF THATS STILL TRUE ABOUT IT BEING THE THING IN HIS LAB THATD BE INTERESTING FOR LIKE- MAKING CONNECTIONSBHDCSJHBSDCJBHDSC Like hes got this id card for the royal scientist with the face all fucked up, or hes got this id card with Papyrus’ face on it with the name all fucked up
OR MAYBE THATS JUST NOT THE THING IN HIS LAB BUT- LEMME COOK

WING GASTER FORGETTABLE AU CORE???? WHAT?????
going BONKERS over this song rn it had all the energy I imagine Wingdings will EVENTUALLY have, its the closest thing to “Im Sane” by Axie while not sounding anything like it
just that “all is lost, im going to die” energy with 100,000 MG of adrenaline shot into its veins
I WANNA MAKE MY MURDER LOOK LIKE A SUICIDE!!!!!!
I think this beginning part works really well with Gaster n how I think he’ll be used. The wind (Papyrus/his past life) has caught up with him,
“changed when I did” like they went off and did their own things, lived their own lives. Basically went in COMPLETE opposite directions 😭 Papyrus is everything Wingdings wouldn’t want to be, and Gaster is E V E R Y T H I N G he wanted/thinks he wanted when he was goin coocoo
Tumblr media
Then this part feels like Gaster in his early stages still grasping onto an identity before just floating in the void? just feels like it works… Before then accepting this new like and becoming the guy we all know and love *traumatizes Jevil and Spamton*
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lastly these lines are just oozing with crazy Wingdings energy idk what else to say

I feel like in the Forgettable AU, Wingdings and Alphys' relationship can go one of 2 ways
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And. I don't know. If any of em are good. (Positive)
LEMME YAP-
OKAY SO WINGDINGS IS GONNA GO CRAZY, RIGHT???? And Alphys HAS to be somewhat involved in that or... What's the point of her being here? Just chill then leave or continue chilling when shit gets real?
I THINK
Either she will be USED and left, or USED and then USED EVEN MORE
I feel like WD will realize how much if an ASSET she is, and accept her assistance more and more while still keeping her at an arms length
Then later on when he starts losing it more and more...
CICADA DAYS ROUTE: He uses all of her knowledge and DIPS
or ME AND THE DEVIL ROUTE: He gets her involved with the whole Heaven thing-
OR SECRET THIRD OPTION!!!: I'm completely wrong.
I'M JUST IMAGINING AMVS WITH THESE 2 AND AUGH- OBSESSED WITH "ME AND THE DEVIL" SPECIFICALLY
nah just imagining Sans being happy that they're finally hanging out, then come to find out they're trying to summon god 😭😭😭😭
I've also been listening to "Taking What's Not Yours" and AAU UGH SUNSESTART YOU'RE SO RIGHT IT'S SO ALPHYS FORGETTABLE why does it have to be romantical

More Forgettable AU song connections and explanations!!!! Its been on my mind for a bit… Community Gardens by The Scary Jokes is SO MUCH FUN to use with Gaster…
Tumblr media
We havnt seen him in the comics yet… So we dont really know what his vibe Is gonna be…But, I think this song is really good for my favorite interpretation… Same with Rambling Of A Lunatic which I elaborated on a bit here.
That vibe being, him not having a care in the world, being ambiguously lucid, and in general being like Jevil- SOMEONE WHOS LOST THEIR MIND but is still weirdly chill and happy about everything?? Also not making much sense a lot of the time. NOT in a Spamton way, since he’s clearly still pretty distressed-
Tumblr media
For the first line- ITS ACTUALLY KINDA FUNNY IN THIS CONTEXT
“Full disclosure, i AM a Monster.” as in… he is still somewhat a normal person, hes not “something else”. I imagine in an AMV (that I like 99% sure I will not make) Gasters talking to Flowey and/or Papyrus and bein like “dont worry :D”.
OR WE COULD TAKE THIS IN A WAY DIFFERENT DIRECTION- and instead he’s just saying that he IS A MONSTER. “full disclosure, i am a MONSTER. Not the species though! Ive done abhorrent actions!” and he’s being crazy chill about it acting like thats a normal thing to say- “oh btw, I suck-ass”
That narrative also works extra well with the next line, “A creature of despair- Not that that should be a cause for concern!” Like AGAINNN- augh. This is just how I imagine Gaster in general, not just in the AU. Hes an insane scientist, who is morally ambiguous, but also has incredible hospitality!
Then the last part, with "if there's one thing ive learned in all my years here". It perfectly refers to the VOID and how he's been there for...a lot of years. and ALSO how Wingdings at first was in despair because he didn't "plant his heart in community gardens" aka- MAKE FRIENDS
Tumblr media
"The culmination of man's mistakes" you mean your mistakes? 👁 Gaster?
The "culmination" and the "desert turning to glass" would probably refer to "THE INCIDENT" and just in general all the ripples that happen because of that- the incident is the culmination of Wingsings' mistakes...
"If there's something to be learn from all these losers" is really funny cause all I can think of is Gaster childishly calling Alphys and Sans "losers" in a tongue and cheak fashion. Except he's the only one in on the joke. DO YOU GUYS SEE MY VISION😭😭 He's got like the saddest life but is the happiest guy in the world
"The price you pay for arrogance and a false sense of immunity" little self roast
"Face the wrath if a dying star" I fully give all credit to this song for making me obsessed with the concept of Papyrus being a star, and Gaster, in contrast, being a DYING STAR
IT'S SO COOL?!?!?!?
Now i wanna make a star map of the characters, making them all astronomy things through heart breaking metaphors
Like Sans is a planet revolving around the sun (Wingdings) and Gaster becoming a dying star cause the sun he once was, imploded- meanwhile Papyrus is a uhhhhh well he’s a star, but so is the sun technically, so idk man.
Alphys is a telescope. Take that.

FINALLY FINISHED IT SO I GETTA YAP
okay so in the first bit, the first bit is dark going into a lighter background to kinda symbolize how Sans views current times dark- and as he 'turns to face the past' or whatever, it grows lighter because that's what the past felt like compared to present because of how distant wingdings became
Meanwhile the lyrics symbolize like how he isn't really letting go? And how wingdings is slipping away from him so he's just going over these old memories hoping things would return to the way they were
Anyway the 'world we knew bit' is supposed to look like a child's drawing, and it's how they viewed themselves back then, the center of each other's worlds, important yk!!
(Also fun to note, but the earth looks so weird because honestly idk if monsters would actually even know what the world would look like?? Maybe there's a few maps or smth that've come through the dump but those are rare so the most monsters would really know is like 'blue circle with green blobs)
But yeah!! So cool!!
Also my art is really inconsistent in this because I had on it and worked on my artstyle a little so I promise that's why it looks so odd anyway yeah
This was pretty lazy I'll do smth better laterrrrr
FORGETTABLE AU BELONGS TO @forgettable-au

THE OG GOOBERS 😭 I need to go to my roots more often theyre so wonderful
eagerly awaiting chapter 3/4 so I can get my hopes up again to see my BOYS
The newsletters are…..ACCEPTABLE for now 🙄
Oh yeah and Kris and everyone else that I love, theyll all be there too. yeah.
ik its just one surface level drawing but…..for some reason it comes with the same amount of yapping as a typical Forgettable AU fanart (why do I do this to myself)
The thought was “its a running gag that Sans eats condiments straight up, I wouldn’t put it above him to eat the leftover stuff when baking.
THEN that spiraled into “omg new headcanon, Papyrus… WE LOVE HIM BUT UNDYNE DOES NOT HELP WITH KNOWING HOW TO COOK so what if hes not all that great at cooking but like INCREDIBLE at baking, just doesnt do it as much cause thats not Undynes style”
Toriel Undyne and Papyrus cooking together- i gotta draw that I have so many interactions in my head already 😭 like
Undyne: NO!!!! STIR HARDER!!!
Toriel: You’ll just make a mess that way!
Undyne: THATS THE POINT, NGAAAAHHHHHHHH *grabs papyrus’ arm and fucks up everything*
No but cooking is like- BAKING MAKES SENSE for Papyrus to be like really good at cause its NUMBERS its a PUZZLE its measurements, seems more his style (autism)
also I was totally giggling adding the stars on his sweater hehehe hes a star
also I had way too much fun drawing Sans licking the spatula without a tongue or opening his mouth
he absorbs it through his teeth
yknow
like a normal person
duh

What Kind Of Monster Was He?
A @forgettable-au fan (colored) animatic
MINOR BLOOD WARNING!
*Was he the kind to do too much, or not enough?
…OK, SO WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS-
I had planned to finish this into a full fledged animation, but a lot of the parts I did end up finishing just didnt live up to what I imagined…I waited for more motivation to happen, but it just didnt so HERES THE COLORED ANIMATIC CAUSE IM REALLLY HAPPY WITH WHAT I HAVE and ive sat on posting this for like a 2 weeks 😭 which is an eternity in my time
Im gonna post the unfinished “finished” part on my side account @o-sunny-day though! and probably have people yell at me cause it actually isnt that bad AND IT TOTALLY ISNT I just… art. You get it. ENOUGH YAPPING! ITS TIME TO YAP!
except not yet, MORE BACKGROUND INFO HUCDHUC- but its background info on explaining the lore…
The explaining is much less expansive than in Dear My Dear just because I didnt work on it long enough to think every bit of it through. This is just a clean, nicer looking, and colored version of the very first storyboard.
I usually think about and put more effort into the little stuff while making the FINISHED bits since ive had so much more time to think about that in all the preppin n sketching.
BUT I liked the explaining format I did for Dear My Dear so im sticking with it!
The main idea for this was to do a study of Wingdings’ character from what we’ve been given, mainly focusing in on the expectations he puts on himself because holy shit the lyrics for this works so stupidly well it makes me mad LOOK AT THIS???
Tumblr media
its ridiculous. i love it. I didnt know Jack Stauber helped write Forgettable AU???? woww!!! ANYWHO thats the gist of it, not much context is needed past that. Onto the sillies!!!! (per usual excuse the shitty quality of the pngs idk why Tumblr does that-)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Did you know love? Will you rest in peace?
Wingdings and Sans holding hands as kids, before turning to a casket like appearance for adult WD. The flowers hes holding are pretty important too, Marigolds to represent grief, Lilys, new life, and Forget Me Nots for this lovely little line I found when looking up good flowers to use-
Tumblr media
“a promise to always remember” ….stop that.
That actually also has a double meaning in this case too. 1, ofc the forgetting of Wingdings. But ALSO Wingdings forgetting something himself. Forgetting who he is. Almost like a Zuko ATLA situation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Did you have a family?
Who knows where theyre parents are, but this is HAPPY TIME and we’re gonna assume they were so awesome and very kind but had to leave or went to a farm in the sky for whatever reason.
The colors here I had a lot of fun with. Their parents had warm colors but the boys have cold, still with warm accents. Its said they more or less raised each other being very independent as shown in the second part with them running out the door by themselves.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
How was the view from the shelf? Did you ever believe in yourself?
Before, we started with the beginnings. The good things, the only thing Wingdings cares to even recall. Now we’re seeing his life really start to turn upside down- making first contact with The Player :D
He’s hesitant to reach out, but is intrigued, before getting a rushing revelation of his reality and how it isnt “real”
Rather than feeling crushing existential dread, he more feels pressured to be BETTER, to figure a solution, to do something. Thats what white represents here
Tumblr media Tumblr media
WHAT KIND OF MILK WERE YOU?
We then switch to more examples of how Wingdings is taking this pressure (not well) The soft tones of yellow that were shown before, turn to way brighter, intensifying that feeling that he should be fine, he should be happy, drowning in success of being the Royal Scientist.
But he just desperately wants to just go back to a time of nice coldness.
The warm vs cold tones in this I had so much fun with, coldness is supposed to represent hostility usually, while warm is nice and happy. (same with Black and white. Scary, relieving,) But these points often contradict each other, its hard to tell what you’re feeling vs what you’re supposed to be feeling. Just like Wingdings!
Tumblr media
WHAT KIND OF LIFE DID YOU LIVE THROUGH?
The white lab coats, the expectations, theyre on all of them. But Wingdings has essentially become his expectations.
He questions what life he wants to live, one being himself and alone (speaking in wingdings) or not himself and with company (speaking in a “normal” font) Still, he frames it in past tense as he believes theres no going back now, based on what he knows.
Tumblr media
“One of the last happy moments they had together” stop that. (i cant find a link to when that was said but I know it was once, about them taking a photo together….)
Tumblr media
DID YOUR LIFE RUN RICH WITH CALCIUM?
Calcium….bonesss :3 Hehehehdhehfhehehheheheh still dont know why he has holes in his hands so we’re movin on
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DID THEY LAUGH AT YOU OR DID YOU LAUGH AT THEM?
Compared to the childhood Wingdings remembered, heres the sadder, bleaker, more realistic version. He always thought they were laughing at him but… maybe they werent.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DAIRY BELOVED. YOUR DAYS ARE GONE,
It doesnt matter now though. Because in the NOW, Wingdings has become consumed by his expectations of himself, seeing this has the “only option” to do the only thing that he feels will give his life meaning and purpose, establishing connection with THE PLAYER
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But the grocery list goes on…
And yet life continues on without him, and his room is transformed into a more livable space now that someone is…living in it. Always hurts so much making the differences between Wingdings and Papyrus’ room. It feels like making something out of the man Wingdings COULD HAVE been. Because honestly thats just what Papyrus is,
Tumblr media
Thank you to my bestie @fruitytrip for helping me with all of my art in general but especially the storyboarding on this :3 <3

Please Reset Your Save File :)
Tumblr media
idk what came over me but here take this forgettable au wingdings undertale ARG ass image
speaking of being a mystery image with secrets to be unlocked, i’m gonna refrain from yapping. do the sleuthing yourself I believe in you
ok…. fine….I cant resist…. BUT DO THE TRANSLATING YOURSELF IM NOT DOING EVERYTHING FOR YOU
Ill start by explaining my proccess cause it was quite eventful!
The jumping off a cliff towards something was inspired off of this tiktok :D
Tumblr media
Thought it worked GREAT for a character who was so dead-set on his goal he destroyed himself in the process of achieving it… And thats all I had in mind, Wingdings reaching twords his goal (a star/the player) and the rest I just went along with as I drew
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I didn’t intend on the background being black, was just a placeholder, so once I finished the line art I fiddled with the color. thought some sort of “blue screen of death” would go well with the themes of what happens to him since he is IN a game. so the universe literally restarts (resets :3) itself to get rid of a glitch (him)
My theory currently is that his goal was to become some sort of player/gain the ability to reset, and once he did that, the game saw him as an error/glitch, so got rid of that- bro IS Turbo from wreck it ralph
After that whole idea- I was looking at some references to replicate the text and it made me go “OOOHOOO” when I saw the QR code like “oooo I could make my own and have some fun with that…” and so I did- and decided to link my original idea for that!

I had fun making some differences in the wording to fit the situation
In the end, 2 silly illustrations that are fun to flicker between!

talking about the actual drawing though:
The cliff Dings is running off of has echo flowers because I SWEAR those are important. trust.
Him not wearing gloves is meant to depict how little he cares for his own safety in his last days. I did the same thing in my IM SANE amv!
The “star” having an eye is meant to show how its both the player, and seeing the stars/surface that Wingdings is reaching for.
The wingdings font covering Dings’ face/eye socket is meant to symbolize that perhaps he feels defined by his inability to communicate like other people naturally can.
“Ths Stars, They Cry Out Your Name” is my favorite thing in this… from Wingdings’ perspective, the only thing that matters, that understands him, that TRULY values him…is THE STARS. its like this goal that he has that will make him feel valued. Getting to the surface = being “worth it” But truly, the stars are the PEOPLE that care about him. Asgore, Alphys, Sans, people that are genuinely concerned over his obviously deteriorating mental health- they CRY out his name, not “call” like I had originally planned.
“66%” hehehehhe funy gaster numbr
ok and last thing- Im gonna cry remembering this dialogue from the official Clock App
