#Glitchedswap

[capricioussun]

And now it’s Glitchedswap’s turn

You know, I don’t know if I’ve ever…actually properly talked about GS before! In the VF note I’d mentioned GS originating from an idea with Void so I suppose I’ll start there.

I often get lots of imagery involving Void and many others whenever listening to music, all varying a lot in tone and intensity. In one idea, he’d needed to take refuge in a safe verse he was familiar with, where he heads to the house in Snowdin and the door in answered by a young Chara who’s very happy to see him again. Then he’s fondly greeted by brothers Sky and Uno (Sans and Papyrus respectively). I’d seen them all so clearly and was surprised by there sudden existence, especially considering they even came with the nicknames which is unusual for me, as I tend to struggle with those haha

But I quickly became attached to them and started piecing together more of their world. This resulted in a Swap AU that had experienced a massive coding issue, preventing Chara from being able to complete their run or reset. Or rather, it’s too dangerous to reset, as it started affecting the monsters negatively whenever they did, worsening the glitches caused by the initial malfunction.

While most monsters still don’t remember the resets, they’ve all started to develop a sense of deja vu, or feeling like some big change is coming soon, and things will change for the better. They don’t, not really, and the brothers as well as Toriel and Asgore have a better awareness of this, Alphys and Undyne, too, to a lesser degree.

That was how they’d met Void. One of the many facets of his job entails fixing coding issues, but one so large scale is tricky. If you do things in the wrong order or don’t finish something completely before moving on to the next, it can have grave consequences. So it’s a very slow going process of working away at it over a period of time, with rest periods in between so as not to destabilize the AU either, but even with all that, there’s no guarantee he and his allies won’t eventually hit a dead end. There’s no guarantee they’ll ever be able to free the monsters of that underground. And without resets, and time flowing normally, the monsters are still aging, still losing hope.

As a stand alone AU without MV interference, I haven’t honestly decided if I’ve wanted to give them a happy or tragic ending, and having mostly just thought a lot about the monsters’ glitches and what their underground is like (still relatively normal seeming, aside from a few things that make it stick out as a little broken).

But yeah! That’s GS! Chara is very close with the brothers but primarily lives in the Ruins with Asgore, and everyone else…just goes about life as normal, for the most part! It’s a bit slice of life-y, with a touch of existential horror I suppose agdhhsjs

[snuggles-and-struggles]

Took a while, but I finally got some very brief summaries down for (almost) all the poly AUs <3

They’re below the cut because there’s a lot of them!

TrafficVesselFell

Anon and Alibi were trying to pull their dad from the void. Instead they got a dying human child, yippee! It’s fine though because a mysterious multiverse traveler shows up offering help, and over time, Al winds up falling for him and his husband. It works out surprisingly well!

-

Mafiaswap

So a mob boss walks into a flower shop-

Fr tho that’s what happens. Two shop owner acquaintances, Edge, a florist, and Alibi, a book retailer, wind up entangled with the district’s local mafia family, and ultimately end up in a relationship with one of the dons, Stretch (Luck).

-

Contract

Stretch accidentally summons a demon. A duo of hunters try to cast the demon, Edge, from the mortal plane. Instead, one of them, Alibi, winds up falling in love with both contractor and contractee. Somehow works out happily.

-

Young Contract

Contract but they were childhood friends before all the craziness that would ensue because…tropes. <3

-

Code Blue

Edge was an abandoned lab experiment with a vampire mutation. Nurse Blue and Caseworker Alibi are assigned to him in a ditch effort to rehabilitate him before he’s deemed too unsafe and euthanized.

-

Supercontract

Contract but this time Alibi is a shapeshifter :*)

-

Young Code Blue

Who’s feral lost child is this??? Rip Mamba honestly he deals with too much.

[capricioussun]

A favorite/memorable quote?

I am honestly so atrocious with quotes. I'm sorry </3 I am curious tho so I will try to find some another time, but I can give some song lyrics I associate with them!

Rus - Here come, go rummaging / Oh where has your poor stammer been? / Gone like the Pliocene / So temporary, got lost in between // Cosmo Sheldrake - Pliocene

Edge - And now I want brimstone in my garden / I want roses set on fire / And I, well I want what's best for me / And I, well, I think I know just what that means / Just what that means // Mother Mother - Little Pistol

Stretch - I'm fine / I'm here like half of the time / That's nothing new, it's a crime / And a crying shame // Hippo Campus - Ashtray

Void - This is the sound we make / When in between two places / Where we used to bleed / And where our blood needs to be // Twenty One Pilots - Bandito

Sky (glitchedswap Sans) - With your eyes closed watching a strange show play out in your head / But you were smiling somehow / And your day froze and everyone in it sat still as a rose / But we were moving somehow // Copeland - Chin Up

Lace (lovefell Papyrus) - I don't want to be a soldier / Who the captain of some sinking ship / Would stow / Far below / So if you love me / Why'd you let me go? // Coldplay - Violet Hill

Red - Oh brother - man, you call that recovered? / Tripped on a couple steps, and collapsed on the stairs / Broke my neck on the backs of those who I've hurt and scared / Like it's a good thing, you said "you've got your whole life ahead" / Oh great, another half a century to live to regret / I'd rather be anybody else instead // Will Wood - Half-Decade Hangover

(continuation from here)

[capricioussun]

ohhh glitchfell???

Glitchfell!!! It's funny you mention that specifically, because originally it had just been to separate Dos specifically, but I've actually been developing it on its own on the back burner...

Dos is still sort of the star of the show, since, well, he’s the reason it's glitchfell. Dos is [REDACTED]. However, his creator made a fatal flaw when trying to fix a previous mistake and it completely fucked Dos' code. At first, it was just minor glitching and stat instability. But as he got older, and the attempts to fix the mistake only continued making it worse (sort of), by the time he was a young teen, the glitching was causing problems in the Main Code, so when a particularly bad episode hit, he unintentionally collapsed the timeline and threw himself to a "neighboring" au.

...or so he thought (and how I'd initially written it lol).

But I've been working with, at least an alternate "timeline", where the au didn't actually collapse when Dos was thrown. Rather, it became corrupted. It wasn't too bad at first, more like Glitchedswap, where there were new tics here and there, but things could continue on as normal.

Unfortunately though, a tree cannot grow from a severely damaged trunk. At least not well. The damage was done, and as time went on, the corruptions only continuously worsened. There's a good likelihood it would have collapsed on its own by the time Dos met Void, there's just no way an au like that could sustain itself after a point, but it's incredibly interesting to think about how far it could've fallen before that point, and if it's possible anyone from it could've been saved before then...

Or if anyone would've put them out of their misery before it got so bad.

[capricioussun]

(For this!)

EDIT: I fucked up and forgot the outer aus aha

[capricioussun]

Do any of them have a preference for gifts?

I continue falling asleep periodically and without permission, apologies this took so long!Oooh gifts, yeah probably!! Lemme think

🩷 Rus n Sans - I'd imagine Rus would like almost anything, sincerely, card, chocolates, flowers, a knickknack – honestly just. Anything! He'd be so stoked to get a valentines gift, and (barring food gifts) he's absolutely keeping it forever lol As for Sans, probably has a slight preference for food gifts, but similarly, he’s mostly just happy to have whatever, and he'll definitely make some sort of joke about it

❤️ Edge n Red - Edge always prefers practical gifts, under almost any circumstances...however. If someone gave him flowers or a small potted plant of some sort, it would definitely make him blush and he'd put them/it somewhere he'd see frequently... Red definitely prefers food gifts, though more so savory than sweet – honestly, just take him out for lunch, he'd prefer that lol

🧡 Stretch n Blue - anything, and i mean anything, so long as it's a sincere gesture, would fluster Stretch very thoroughly. But a favored sweet of his (or something with a joke on it) is sure to make him feel extra fuzzy. Blue is more sentimental than he cares to admit, so something like a little keepsake that references some special part of your relationship is definitely the best thing to get him, but he'd be happy with anything else, too (except maybe chocolates, he’s not the biggest fan).

sfmetal, fsglass, the horrors, lovefell, glitchedswap, vesselfell, and Dos n Wingdings under the cut ✨

💛 Copper n Gold - Copper would geeenerally prefer food gifts or something small and useful, like a nice lighter or smth, however he'd probably rather just spend time together, maybe going out for drinks. Gold struggles a little accepting gifts, but, something romantic like flowers or nice cufflinks would have him blushing lightly, despite his best efforts (a revenge gift would find it's way to the gifter very very soon thereafter)

💚 Ghost n Haze - Ghost isn't a big gift guy either, but something like interesting candy would be appreciated, especially if it's something he can share with the gifter. Haze is opposed to gifts, especially anything perishable (food or flowers), but he'd begrudgingly accept anything related to an interest, like perhaps a nice journal.

🩵 Dove n Patch - oooh Dove would love just about anything, similarly to Rus. Just happy to be considered!! Probably puts it somewhere special to make sure it doesn't get lost, or in the case of food gifts, savors it meaningfully. Patch is also pretty iffy on gifts, but you can't go wrong with food! But maybe a gift card to a grocery store would be better so he can choose himself (can be a little picky about things...)

💙 Dusk n Clips - Dusk would honestly be a bit freaked out by receiving a gift, of any kind, but once he’s calmed down would...feel weird about it? But treasure it dearly. Eclipse doesn't have any preferences at all, but he’s glad to take advantage of someone who wants to get him something, although contradictorily, he wouldn't like food type gifts.

💜 Rust n Coal - Rust would prefer something like a knickknack or collectible through and through. Flowers die and he’s weird about food gifts absolutely. Doesn't need to be anything sentimental, but if you're insisting, just get him something interesting. Coal would be completely happy to get any kind of gift! Though something he could share with the gifter or his brother would definitely be preferable.

💗 Lace n Cire - Lace is a huge sap for any romantic gestures. Flowers, sweets, something sentimental, something meaningless but cute; doesn't matter, it's from someone who loves him which means the world to him. Cire's a liiitttle pickier. He's guarded about gifts, some simple is better, maybe flowers or candy, something he can easily make a joke about.

🩶 Uno n Sky - while Uno would truly appreciate any gift, something silly or some candy would be the highlight of his day. Sky...would honestly prefer quality time. Going out for a meal or doing something together. He’s a busy guy, and a break would be...nice.

🖤 Void n Perp - Despite anything he'd say, Void is always touched by gifts. Preferably something nonperishable, as he travels too much to appreciate flowers he'd have to leave at home and he’s just not much of a candy enjoyer, but something small, sentimental or not, always makes him soft. Perp's an easier sell, but similarly to Red, he'd probably prefer something him and his gifter can enjoy together.

❤️‍🩹 Dos n Wingdings - Dos would struggle to accept any gifts, but something small and romantic would surely get him blushing despite himself. Especially flowers... Wingdings would be so utterly surprised to receive anything at all, no, no preferences, he'd probably not even fully process he'd received a gift until well after the gifter has left lol

[capricioussun]

Edit: I do wanna give a reminder here that this is for what order I’m going to draw character refs in!

There’s more than this but these r the main ones!! I’m very fickle and never know where to guide my focus so I’m very curious about which of my AUs piques the most interest, if any!

And a link to their descriptions for anyone unfamiliar or wanting a refresher ✨

[capricioussun]

papy request! choose for every diff pap a different fanfic trope <3

Oh boy fanfic tropes uhhh okay okay I will do my best! I’m not super well versed in fic and tropes so bear w/ me here lol

.

Rus (undertale) - devoted knight. Not to one person, rather a cause. His friends and loved ones, protecting them, taking care of them, by whatever means he has.

Edge (underfell) - collapse. He works himself so hard, it was bound to happen eventually. He’s not going to learn his lesson.

Stretch (underswap) - overheard at the worst possible time. Whether it was his secret spilled or he found something out he wasn’t meant to, I feel like Stretch is very good at finding himself in the wrong place at the wrong time without fail.

Copper (swapfell metal) - (platonic) slow burn. He’s a stubborn asshole but with enough goofing off and late night talks, he might open up a little, and be better off for it.

Ghost (fellswap glass) - framed. Uh oh! Looks like you’ve been framed for a crime you didn’t commit, and now it’s up to you and you alone to find a way out of this. Good luck!

The rest under the cut!

Uno (glitchedswap) - disappearance. It’s been many years since the sudden unexpected disappearance of Papyrus Gaster, but the hole his absence left still seems to be growing.

Heartfell Papyrus - soulmate birthmarks with a twist. That twist being that…he doesn’t seem to have a mark. Oh dear.

Lace (lovefell) - heartbreak in the rain. Self explanatory.

Rosewood (mafialovefell) - curse. He’s had a curse put on him, and only true loves kiss can break it...

Boss (mafiafell) - isekai. I would love to put his ass in a situation. /j but seriously. “Medical malpractice”. He is subject to experiments beyond his control. It does not end well.

Luck (mafiaswap) - lost the bet. Like rags to riches but in reverse. Will he be able to climb back to the position he once had?

Hawk (mafiatale) - poison. Uh oh! You’ve been poisoned. Is this gunna end at the hospital or the morgue?

Dove (horrortale) - second chances. He deserves a new lease on life, after everything…right?

Rust (horrorswap) - memory loss. He loses his memory in a terrible accident…but maybe that’s for the best.

Dusk (horrorfell) - life candles. And his has almost run out…

Ice (invertedfell) - (platonic) forced confessions. Trapped with a friend in dire circumstances and after a point, all they have left to pass the time is talking.

Clover (sweetswap) - flower shop. He’s always loved how colorful flowers are, even if he’s been partially colorblind since his accident.

Pictoris (outertale) - arranged marriage. But maybe it won’t be so bad after all..?

Aurigae - (platonic) slow dance. He gets pulled into dancing by a friend. He was having a terrible day, but…that helped. Maybe more than he’s even willing to admit.

Antares (outerfell) - space pirate. Is this a trope? I honestly don’t know but I love the concept and am standing by this.

Elester (demonfell) - absurd meet cute. He’s a demon, he needs to be placed in the story by extreme means, right?

Dos (glitchfell) - ghosts of the past. Something from his past is haunting him, and he can’t outrun it forever.

Void (vesselfell) - [redacted] coffee shop. He likes coffee :*)

[capricioussun]

Some more fun-ish VF stuff!

I never talk about them really, but the list of allies Void has and works with has expanded quite a lot since the whole idea of a “council” came up. It was actually one such idea for Void that initiated Glitchedswap and eventually Dos!

He made a brief appearance in that one celebration fic with Void, but Comet (UT Comic Papyrus) is usually Void’s first interaction with the multiverse! He usually also winds up working with the other three comic papyruses, Star (US), Nova (SF), and Solar (UF), though Nova is kind of an asshole and Solar is only marginally more tolerable lol

In one of the other celebration fics we meet Wingdings, and I’ve even drawn them together before! But he was a Tale variant Gaster Void rescued, and sort of becomes like an adopted…uncle? To him? It’s strange because their age difference isn’t that great due to both of their natural aging processes being halted by the void, and Gaster’s own boys were pretty young when he became trapped. Still, after years of getting to know each other and Wingdings recovering from the psychological toll his “situation” took, they definitely consider each other family, even if they don’t directly address it.

When applicable, Chara can actually linger around Void like they can with Frisk. He can see them and interact with them, and they’d actually met when Void was very young. Chara became a ghost much earlier on in VF, and met him at the labs. I have a wip comic of the two of them, I would love to finish it one day, their relationship is very sweet <3

Ash is another friend of Void’s, whomst I’ve mentioned before! An Asriel variant who is kind of intense but usually well meaning! He considers himself like an older brother to Void, while Void kind of sees him more like an…ally mentor cousin guy?? They have a lot of mutual respect for each other!

In some variants, waaay far in the future, Dos becomes a sort of mentee of Void’s. A little like a sidekick, if you will. They wind up very close, and Void is one of the few people Dos comes to feel wholly comfortable around <3

Void is a chronic people adopter. It’s terminal /j But fr, despite outwardly usually coming across a bit terse and cold, he warms up easily and becomes attached quicker than he likes aha

Cosine isn’t entirely an UT oc, but when I put them in that domain, he is a monster who got separated from his family and universe, what tore them away affecting their coding and making them a bit visually off as well as damaging his memory so he can’t actually remember where he came from. Void unintentionally winds up a sort of adopted dad/uncle to them, and they wind up living with him for a time, traveling together sometimes when searching for Cosine’s universe, since his damaged coding makes it harder to locate.

In applicable iterations, Perp and Void actually wind up with a better, healthier relationship than Edge and Red, since they have to overcome a lot more and actually communicate once everything comes to light (Perp didn’t know Papyrus was a vessel for…too long).

Speaking of too long! I’ll stop there so this post doesn’t get out of control agdhsj

🌟 Capricious Suns’s Declassified AU+ Survival Guide 🌟

My AUs

Vesselfell - A Papyrus-centric Underfell AU revolving around the curious case of W.D. Gaster’s most successful experiment - The Vessel. Papyrus becomes a vessel for a doorway into the void, which gradually begins causing problems for not just their timeline, but the multiverse as a whole.

There are currently three primary iterations of the main story; Canon, The Good Ending, and The Variable.

Heartfell - A lovecore inspired Underfell AU where the world may not be as lovely as it seems. Exploring many facets of love and it’s perception and how sometimes what we believe is love is actually just trauma.

Orangefell - A semi-skeleton brothers-centric Underfell AU that revolves around how different things may be if the brothers had taken a different path.

Invertedfell - An Underfell AU where the characters personalities (and primary color schemes) are inverted. This is not a swapped AU as the changes are personal to each individual character.

Neonfell - An Underfell AU with slight cyberpunk stylings. After the fallen human and Alphys mysteriously disappear before the human had completed their journey to King Asgore, the underground falls into a state of chaos, eventually breaking apart into two sides - the loyalists and the rebellion. Will they ever learn the truth? Will they ever be free? Or will they drive themselves to extinction before they get the chance?

Demonfell - An Underfell AU where the monsters are all different types of demons. There isn’t much of a plot so much as a world to explore with honestly, I just liked the concept and ran with it, though I may develop a more solid story one day…

Glitchedswap - An Underswap AU that takes place in a “glitched game”. The monsters are mostly unknowingly permanently trapped Underground, and try to make the best of their abysmal circumstances.

Sweetswap - An Underswap AU similar to Heartfell in that it’s aesthetics are shifted, only to more cute, soft, and sweet stylings (cutecore, if you will), while exploring the many pros and cons of a sometimes perhaps too optimistic outlook on life.

Psychictale(fell?) - A Psychonauts inspired AU where Frisk must help the monsters address their inner demons to reach the truth of not just the underground, but the very monsters themselves.

Undersell - Underfell, but with a comedic twist. The underground is a grungy city type place, and everyone’s got an angle. It’s up to Frisk and Flowey to guide them back to a better way of life. (generally more lighthearted in tone)

AUs I have my own interpretation of

Swapfell (Metal) • Fellswap (Glass) • Swapfell (Red) • Mafiafell • Mafiaswap • Horrorfell • Horrorswap • Lovefell (previously Lustfell ) • MafiaLoveFell (previously MafiaLustFell)

AUs I need to work more on

Mafiatale • Horrortale • Outertale • Outerfell • Outerswap

Stories and Ideas

Glasses - Papyrus needs glasses. It really shouldn’t be this complicated.

7S - A monster and a human with good intentions form a plan that leads them on an unexpectedly difficult journey in an attempt to save monsterkind before losing themselves (and each other).

Tales of Divergence - A choose your own adventure type story about a collision within the multiverse that brings four neighboring timelines…together?

My Mother’s Eyes - An Underfell story about a strange accident that leads to Toriel raising Papyrus in the Ruins for most of his life.

Everything Stays - When a malfunction happens at the labs, Sans disappears without a trace. Alphys has to take the news to his family, only to find all that’s left is his kid brother. She doesn’t have much of a choice but to look after this increasingly strange child herself, with the eventual help of Undyne. They become quite the odd little family…but Papyrus never gives up hope of seeing his brother again. He knows it’s just a matter of time…

Asymmetrical - Accidents happen. But how could Gaster have anticipated this..?

A possible “full” Psychonauts Undertale crossover where Raz wakes up in a very very strange place with little memory of how he got there… (may attempt a comic of it some day)
