Hey y’all! Meet grimmtale! My newest au!

Grimmtale, like most of the other AUs was underground before the crash, but unlike most AUs, the monsters were very happy to be there!

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, when drought dried up the surface leaving it uninhabitable, to save the underground lakes swamps and rivers, the monsters and witches of that world created a barrier protecting the underground from the heat above. Every entrance possible was sealed up and inside the earth developed a beautiful swamp like ecosystem where the people lived!

Over the years, monsters and humans alike developed and mutated to better fit their new home.

Humans, or the witches lost the color in their skin becoming a pale translucent blue-white color. Their hair thinned to the point where very few people grow any at all. And finally the witches of grimmtale have very poor eyesight, needing dark conditions to see at all, but have an amazing sense of hearing, touch and direction!

Every monster subspecies had changes too, each one unique to their respective subspecies. For example, goats have much thinner fur as well, and scaly hind legs as well as a snakelike tail. Slimes became extremely strong and are much larger than their counterparts with the ability to glow. And skeletons gained elongated forearms and prehensile tails as part of their mutations.

Monsters and the witches have lived in harmony for generations, with family covens ruling the roost underground. Humans from grimmtale have a longer lifespan due to generations of using magic. The typical witch from Grimmtale will have an average lifespan of 130 years, with the oldest (not soul bonded to a monster) living to 175. Half breeds and mages are very common as well making up a solid third of the AUs population.

The most lucrative business from the Grimms is potion making. These people will create concoctions that can have all kinds of temporary effects from painkillers, strengtheners, ones that change appearance, ones that have spell like effects, and even potions that can cause explosions!

After the crash, this au has been in charge of mapping the underground chambers of ebott. Around 3/4ths of waterfall in ebott contains the swampy terrain of the grimms old au, so the majority of their people decided to stay and settle underground. Many visit the surface though of course!

Between the 855 covens, they all voted and chose the Dreemur coven to appoint two representatives for the board of royals. After a month long series of trials, the twins, Gloom and Fog were chosen to take the vow with the rest of ebotts royals

Now meet the boys!

Thistle Wingdings: (Grimm sans)

Thistle is a stocky Grimm skeleton aged 58 and standing at 5’8 feet tall. He has a gim grey green magic and a very very deep voice with a gravely sound to it. By Grimm monster standards, he’s quite handsome but most surface skeletons would be nervous around him. He has a series of eyebrow piercings and one nose ridge stud

Thistle has a relaxed and calm personality. He loves to take life slowly, enjoying the little pleasures. He’s a huge cuddle bug, and affectionate with anyone who looks past his gruff face. Just a real sweetheart. If he isn’t smiling, he has a serious resting b*tch face. Despite his lazy attitude, he’s a very clean person and takes great pride in making his home pretty and nice smelling.

Thistle works with his parents growing various potion ingredients on their farm in waterfall. Most of the plants are pretty self sufficient leaving him and his family with a lot of free time. So to keep himself from getting too bored, he does a touch of mining on the side

Thistles magic weapon is a… pillow. Yes that’s right. It’s simply just a pillow conjured by magic. It’s very soft and comfy, and cooling! (And it can secretly cause cold damage if he wants it to)

Thistles secret ability is “early frost”. When he touches metal, stone and magic attacks, he can concentrate and freeze the objects through to shatter them, granted as long as they aren’t too big

Things he loves: cuddles, soft fluffy bedding, weirdly shaped rocks, toads and newts, the color navy blue, baked potatoes with tuna, herbal tea, Minecraft, making scented cleaning potions, pretty candles, echo flowers, goth music, human mythology

Yarrow Wingdings: (Grimm papyrus)

Yarrow is a crazy tall skeleton for grimmtale. He stands at 6’10, well above the average of 5’6. He is aged 49 and has a dull French grey magic. His voice is soft and low with a scratchy quality. He’s considered insanely handsome to other grimms but is a little creepy to surface skeletons.

Yarrow is a gentle giant. He moves carefully and with intention. He’s very meticulous about his actions, but doesn’t handle failure well when trying new things and can get frustrated easily. He has a keen sense of adventure and loves to explore. He’s a bit of a flirt and loves playful banter that doesn’t actually mean anything.

Yarrow works on his family’s potion ingredient farm. The plants are mostly self sufficient though leaving him and his family with a lot of free time. So to keep himself busy he also helps build passages underground for the miners.

Yarrows magic weapon is a grappling hook with four pointed ridges that clamp down when they hit anything! He has scary good aim with that thing!

His special ability is “frog hands”. Yarrow can stick to any surface and will scitter up walls and across ceilings as fast as if he was sprinting.

Things he loves: exploring new places, rock climbing, swimming, his pet toadstool bitty “warts”, the color blood red, classic horror movies, goth music, clams and mussels, herbal tea, Spider-Man, making strengthening potions, red roses.

Can we get some info or trivia about Grimmtale

Considering even KM refuses to engage with them according to the Alphaverse page

Grimmtale must be interesting

GRIMMTALE

A AU drowned in despair and torment. GrimmTale was created due to the absence of true horror in the Multiverse and it shows within it's world.

Humans lost the war, however their dead souls let out a horrible toxin called DT radiation. It melted the mind and detreated the senses while also adding in new ones too. Such as...

DT sense: Allows users to detect anyone who uses DT

DT aura: Being made out of pure DT, anyone close by someone with this Aura will find they're skin bubbling, rotting and straight up melting.

DT Resistance: You are resistant to the effects of being exposed to Raw DT.

Basic Monsters posses these three traits. The rarer ones, go to the leaders and main heads of the AU who have taken control over their own regions of the underground.

The corpses of the humans from the war began emitting high amounts of DT radiation making everywhere on the surface uninhabitable. However, a short few monsters decided to try their luck out there. One of the few being Asgore and W.D Gaster.

The reports of what happened to them are unknown, but the effects were supposedly catastrophic. Without a King and the Queen going into hiding after the events of the war itself, the underground was separated into different factions and groups. Groups are within Factions and Factions run the underground.

The Three main factions are the...

Grounders

Marksmen

and Spearheads.

Unfortunately, over the years the radiation would get worse and worse until no one down below had any idea what it meant to be humane. The Radiation got so bad, other universes were perishing nearby cause of it.

Causing people to lose their minds, cannibalism, murder, trafficking and even assaulting other montsters. It didn't matter if it was friend, family or cousin. The Monsters of the underground had turned completely savage. This extends to of course Frisk or also know now as Freak. Who was made when Toriel had found the body of a mother and a human child who had both died falling down the hole into the underground. Toriel left the mother's body and in an attempt to save the child, fed them determination from the mother's body to revive them. Only for the effects of DT radiation to have a nasty effect.

Freak would devour Toriel and escape the ruins.

starter for jinyu klau of @grimmtale and dylan graham of @lvndersbloom. featuring viviane myricks at their home.

"hey, we're going to have fun. let's not let anything ruin it." sprawled over her bed like she had no better place to be, viviane tried to garner some more enthusiasm, an all too laid back approach toward the evening despite her own reservations. there was only one thing that could tarnish it, and that was enchanted falls very own 'darling mayor'. she watched the others put on their final touches, dragging out herself getting changed into something more befitting for the occasion in the meantime. "and if anything does . . . i have a stash of the finest liquor i could get my hands on, we can have our own party!"

"did you hear? jonathan is letting me pick the musical. again." she doesn't bother hiding her triumphant tone. there's no victory in this, but jemima has seen the way jonathan and faye look at each other. it's not fair. she's the best, she's the star. everyone knows she is. jonathan knows she is. but nothing she does has his attention like faye does just for being in the room. and it's not fair. now she doesn't just need jonathan to pay attention to her, she needs everyone to know it. she needs faye to know jonathan is watching her, even if it's just a glance. scraps are a meal when you have nothing.

Oh wow, is she from grimmtale? What is sheee

[ratsoh-writes]

Wifey's nephews play an elaborate prank on skele that results in him getting a pie in the face. Reactions for some of the newer boys?

Thistle: oh it is on! Thistle is now chasing his nephews around the house. If he catches one, he’ll rub his face all over theirs to spread the pie around lol. Sharing is caring after all~

Yarrow: man is crawling on the ceiling after the nephews. It’s like something out of a horror movie tbh. If his SO didn’t know them so well, they’d think those screams were of terror lol. Anyways nephews are gonna get pied right back

Stitches: oh my stars!! This is just like (insert a million looney tunes episodes). Actually now stitches is taking them out to get more pies so they can film him being pied in the face. He wants to slow it down and try to animate it!

Tinker: … they got pie all over his yarn he was crocheting with. Now he’s sad. :(. SO better scold the heck out of their nephews.

Mango: bold of them to think they can hit her with pie. With the reflexes of a Zumba instructor (something one should never underestimate) mango ducks backwards and dodges the pie like that scene in the matrix. She’s now labeled the coolest aunt lol

Papaya: they hit him with the pie easily, and he screeches in anger. Pie is all in papayas feathers. This is gonna take AGES to clean out! His whole afternoon is gone! Papaya is not a happy camper

familiarity  runs  so  deeply  through  his  bones,   the  marrow  shakes  at  the  thought  of  being  here.   his  suit,  dutifully  picked  out  with  the  help  of  his  best  friend,  sits  snug  at  his  waist  and  shoulders—  it  definitely  wasn't  of  the  man  he'd  become  during  this  life,   without  memories  of  the  old  one,   but  it  certainly  screamed  in  echoes  of  that  very  one  which  had  passed.  "  where's  the  cape  batman?  "  he  asks,  announcing  his  presence  behind  the  boy  and  his  mother,  picking  the  two  out  of  the  crowd  moments  earlier.  he  supposes  he  should  explain  how  he  recognized  them,  but  as  there  were  very  little  children  here  to  begin  with,  even  less  with  batman  masks,   he  need  only  make  an  educated  guess  on  the  identity  of  the  woman  holding  him.  his  best  friend.  and  sometimes,   a  partner  in  crime  when  he  wasn't  buried  in  steel  scraps,   and  work.  "  you  look  great,  odette.  "
