#Hi again Undertale fandom I think I'm coming back!

[palettepainter]

Me: Well lets go check on that SirenHorror doodle I did! I mean I haven't drawn Undertale in like 8 years so most of my audience is probably Muppet or Hazbin related at this point. But hey it was still fun to-

The post has over 300 notes

Me:.....Huh

So jokes aside thank you all so much for all the reblogs and tags you left on that drawing! I did not think it would go over 300 notes in under 24 hours you, you guys are insane thank you so much!! Truth be told I am slowly going back into the undertale fandom, I missed these characters so much (especially Sans, of course the prankster layabout skeleton is my fav) and it was kind of theraputic in a way to draw sans - or an AU version of him - again! I don't think I've drawn him since my days in secondary but dang you blew my expectations for that post outta the water!

Guess this means I'll have to draw more of Horror sans in the future~

[corpupine]

I've been doing a lot of thinking...and I feel like I need to scream this out somehow even though I'm sure it's been talked about before (and I'm putting it under a readmore because it gets long).

No matter what, in any playthrough you do and any timeline you create.

UNDERTALE is a game about guilt.

You have Toriel, so guiltridden she couldn't protect her own children that she devotes herself to never letting another child leave again. And then they do!! over and over again, that guilt compounds until it's the center of her life and every choice she makes!!

And obviously Asgore, so guiltridden that he couldn't protect his own children from humans that he spends the rest of his days trying to get out and get revenge on them--as if that will stop the voices in his head saying, if you had been out there with them you could have stopped it, you could have stopped those humans from killing your children, and maybe he could have!! Or maybe not!! He'll never know and it eats him from the inside out!

Alphys, oh my sweet summer child this fandom does not deserve you!! Alphys, so guiltridden from her own perceived failures as a scientist that she began to try anything, anything to make the King happy, and it seemed to be working at first, and then it was so everlastingly worse, how can you cause something worse than death?? without even trying??

And it shows up in little ways, silly ways, too! Ways you wouldn't even think about as guilt! Undyne! She feels guilty that she won't let Papyrus join the Royal Guard so she gives him cooking lessons instead! Papyrus feels guilty that he's not in love with you after one date so he'll "keep being your cool friend and act like this never happened!"

SANS MY BOI don't even get me started. His guilt isn't as physically obvious but he made a promise to toriel, he promised her he would keep the human safe, and in timelines where you save everyone he follows you pretty much all throughout the Underground (even if he doesn't do anything to help smh) because he'd feel guilty not doing it, and in timelines where you kill everyone he feels guilty for not stopping you, AND in those SAME timelines he feels guilty for stopping you because it means he's breaking his promise to Toriel to keep you safe I!!! This boy can fit so much cosmic guilt in him!!!!

Asriel! FLOWEY!! Do you ever wonder if he feels guilty about being the one to wake up again? The one to survive, when Chara had to die twice?? He sits at their grave and he will do anything, anything to drown out those thoughts so he befriends and kills and torments and it's all the same and it's all useless!!

And their guilt compounds each others'! Toriel makes Sans make that promise because of her own guilt, which increases his! Asgore's guilt is what pushes Alphys so far past the limits of ethical science, because he increases hers!

And all of this, all of this, ALL OF THIS pales in comparison to you!!!

You!! The player! You return to the Underground after maybe accidentally killing Toriel or a few others because you didn't know, you never wanted to hurt them!! You listen to Flowey and you come back and you save them all!

You! The player!!! You cry at the ending and you'd feel guilty, so guilty about letting them all go, wouldn't you? So you ignore Flowey's pleas to let it alone, and you come back again, you say hello to your dear friends but this time it isn't the same, this time you kill them all because you want to see everything this game has to offer, might as well get your money's worth, the fights are cool, right?? And then you get hit with the most unsatisfying atomic bomb of an ending and the only thing left is your own reflection staring back at you from the black screen of your computer as the horror dawns, what have you done???

YOU!!! The player! You go back again even though there is no Flowey left to tell you to, and you save them all again because I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry, nobody deserves what I did to all of you, and it's all good, nobody remembers, and then you get to the end. The game knows what you did!!! It never forgot, and it'll make certain you never forget either!! Guilt!! Guilt, guilt!!! It's baked into the code of this game!!

Anyways tl;dr, maybe it actually did make sense to give this game to the pope

Tw: kind of a vent, mention of depression and anxiety.

I'm sure you've all noticed by now that I haven't been posting a whole lot as of late. To be honest, I've kind of been avoiding this blog, not because of anything my followers did, but mainly because I kind of lost the meaning of my art.

I started using Tumblr exclusively to use the messaging feature to chat with my partner four years ago, but decided to share some of my art, just for fun. I wanted to make people happy, wanted to use my art and writing to not only convey how I felt and what I was experiencing, but to help those going through something similar feel heard and seen. I feel like I have achieved that, in some cases, and it makes me feel good to know that I've made someone's day, or that my writing made them feel understood.

As time progressed though, I began to feel like I had an obligation. Art and writing began to feel more like a chore, and that combined with my resurfacing depression and anxiety made it nearly impossible to even pick up the pencil. It seemed more draining than anything, and the art I did make I didn't share because it reflected my mental state in a deep and personal way.

Tldr, I'm sorry to all the people who have been waiting for updates to my stories, or more Mario content in general, or answers to their asks. It's not that I don't want to finish them, or make more content. It's just that I've realized that my lack of motivation is coming from the fact that I'm making art that I think others want, and not art that I want.

I've been rediscovering Undertale lately, reminded of how amazing the game is and how deep the storyline is, and I want to make more content for that. I'm big into weirdcore and would like to explore it as a style. I want to revisit Dhmis and expand on their story. There's so much I wanna do, but I've been holding myself back and trying to make myself as enthusiastic about Mario as I was before. The truth is, hyperfixations come and go for me, and that's ok. Mario will probably come back here and there, but I'm gonna try to focus on the stuff that I wanna do, because that's when my art is best, and when I feel the best making it. I can't tell you how satisfying it was to draw that piece with Asriel and his parents! I was into Undertale when it first blew up, my friend and I, but left when the fandom began to get toxic. It's so sad to me how disturbed it was, but now I'm much wiser with regards to internet safety, and I know to avoid certain things.

It's very nostalgic for me to rediscover the game, the music I listened to on loop years ago, the amazing artists who had a pure and genuine love for the characters, all of it.

In short, Mario isn't gone, they're just off enjoying their happy ending for awhile before they feel like visiting again. Again, I hope you all understand, and can find content you love from my blog! From now on though, I'm gonna try to avoid forcing myself to make content I don't love. Because from the beginning my art has been an escape that made me happy. If it doesn't make me happy, what's the point lol?

I love and appreciate you all so much,and I hope you can understand this word vomit. Hope you all have a lovely day.

Asgore in Undertale gets way too much flak for being a child murderer, and I'm tired of him being forgotten by the fandom. The people who don't hate on him just forget about my poor big Mr Dad Guy!

I think that while Asgore wasn't in the right about the killings, he was reasonably justified. Like, listen to this:

Asgore's entire species was nearly wiped out in a one sided war over a POSSIBILITY, not even ONE monster had ever absorbed a soul, and yet they were still sealed away.

For anywhere from decades to CENTURIES passed and Asgore still wanted peace with humans. Then, Chara fell. Chara, the first human to interact with monsters in who knows how long, hated humanity. They fell down Mt. Ebott for "not good reasons", and Asgore took that child in. Asgore raised a human abandoned by their own kin, the same species that slaughtered his kingdom. And he still wanted peace.

It was only when Chara killed themselves to help Asgore achieve his dream, and Asriel was mercilessly slaughtered, that Asgore lost his cool. Asgore had to watch as both of his children died by the hands of humans.

Now, remember, a Boss Monster cannot age without a child, so when Asriel died, it doomed Asgore to spend the rest of eternity trapped in a mountain watching his species die out. Because also remember that when monsters lose hope, they fucking DIE. They Fall Down and enter a coma until they turn into dust.

Asgore, after watching hundreds, if not thousands of his people die and lose hope, including his own children, he finally snapped and declared war. Asgore needed seven humans to die, and then he'd be able to allow his kingdom to even just see the SUN for the first time.

Asgore came to his senses almost immediately, but it was too late, there was no turning back. The promise of seven souls gave monsters hope again! And if he stopped, a more bloodthirsty monster would try taking his seat and using it to declare a bloodier war (exactly what Undyne does to Toriel in certain Neutral Runs).

Asgore had to kill seven people to save his entire species from extinction, and even that was too much for his soft heart. He would rather die and let you go home, but he knows that isn't a real option, when it comes down to Him versus the 7th Soul, Asgore knows someone will have to die, for the sake of his people, his friends, and his family.

Asgore lost EVERYTHING, and he still wanted peace, it just... wasn't an option anymore.

hi!! i JUST finished reading your cowboy!stretch x reader oneshot on ao3 and i absolutely loved it, would you mind making a continuation of it? probably with them riding a horse. thank you so much for writing that i love it so much!!! :D

// HII omg!! I'm so happy you liked the oneshot, that one was super fun to write! I'd be more than happy to write a continuation. Hopefully I do your request justice! (Especially considering it's my first one!!)

🧡You can find the first oneshot Here. :)🧡

❤️ Reader has They/Them pronouns, and their SOUL type is up to you! 🧡 Country AU! Cowboy skeletons my beloved.. 💛 This takes place in a Crossover universe, so common fandom nicknames will be used!

It's been a few weeks since you met that dashing skeleton, Stretch, at Grillby's. After taking a few days, you worked your hardest and finally managed to fix up that old barn. Now she looks good as new, and you..need to find something else to do.

You sit in your house, kicking your legs back and forth as you lie on your stomach on your couch. Some random show plays on the tv in front of it you recognize, but you're not really focusing on it since you're facing your left scrolling through your phone. Nothing really sticks out to you, searching for something of interest before you see a little notification pop down from someone. You miss it the first time, pulling down the top of your screen and realizing it's from Stretch.

You sit up abruptly on your knees, shifting to face the tv and letting your legs rest on the wood floor. It's always nice to see what he's up to.

honey enthusiast🍯 - now -> heya, what are you up to?

You - now <- nothing much, just watching tv and dying of boredom lol ive got nothing to do now that the barns all fixed

honey enthusiast🍯 - now -> you could come over to me and my bro's place, it's just us here today

You - now <- rsally? *really?

honey enthusiast🍯 - now -> rsally

You - now <- stfu

honey enthusiast🍯 - now -> lmaoo but yeah im fr could show you the animals and stuff

You - now <- bet uh idk where you live tho

honey enthusiast🍯 - now -> i'll send you the location or i could just come get u if u want

You - now <- i think ill drive there i wanna remember the way in case i come over again :)

honey enthusiast🍯 - now -> alr sounds good to me lol i'll wait at the front gate for you sent attachment

You hop up from your seat on the couch, petting one of your dogs who'd decided to lie down in front of the couch and walking into your room to change.

"Okay, he..he lives on a ranch?? Well, I guess I should've gotten that from the cowboy getup, huh? I should probably wear somethin' I'm okay with gettin' dirty.." You browse through your closet, picking out some casual clothes that'll keep you cool and comfortable in the summer heat.

"Time to go." You walk out of your room, playing some music from the stereo in your living room and giving your dogs some pets before bidding them goodbye. You walk out to your truck and climb inside, turning the key and beginning to drive to the location you set your GPS to. A few familiar songs play while you make your way down several sets of roads. You promptly bop your head to them, lip syncing some of the words.

You knew you were at the right place the moment you saw it. The house was huge based on what you could see from the gate as you drove up to it, plenty of land surrounding it with fences up to keep any unwanted visitors out. You see a familiar shade of orange pop up as the skeleton opens the gate, walking over to your window and leaning his arms on it.

"howdy. glad you could make it, didn't get lost did you?" "Nope, got here a-okay. This place is massive- are you guys loaded or something?" You ask, flabbergasted. He chuckles at that, looking back at the house. "well, it just kinda happened when we exchanged monster currency for human currency. so I guess you could say we are." "Jesus." "you can go ahead and pull up wherever, it doesn't matter." He stands on the step just below your door, holding on. You smile at the action, driving further in and parking in a spot next to someone else's car.

He jumps down onto the ground and lets you get out, closing the door behind yourself and locking it before jumping down too.

You hear a faint "Hello!" in the distance as someone runs over, grinning wide. A skeleton, a pretty large one at that yet shorter than Stretch. His attire is pretty similar to the former, only his is buttoned up much more neatly and is blue rather than orange. Stretch's top button is currently loose, exposing a little bit of his sternum. You also notice how the two stick to one color scheme, Stretch sticking with orange and this one sticking to blue specifically.

"you're in luck, they just got here." "Yes, I'm Not Late! Hello, There! I'm Stretch's Brother, Blue. We Live Together Close To Some Of Our Friends." "It's nice to meet you, Blue. I'm.." You tell him your name, and the two of you chat about this and that before Stretch steals you away to show you around. You both walk around different parts of the ranch before you decide to go and visit the animals, saying hello to each of them promptly.

"You have so many horses-" "like. ten of them." "JESUS-" You pause, looking towards one, before turning back to him with a smile.

"..what?" He raises a brow, smiling as well with crossed arms as he observes you. "..Can we ride one?" "..you want to ride one?" "Yes- please-" "i mean, yeah, i don't see why not. though, we'd probably have to ride together. are you okay with that? if not, i can figure something out." "I'm okay with that. Won't bother me." "alright, just gimme a sec."

You wait patiently as he goes to get a proper saddle, walking over to a few horses and letting them smell your hands so they know to trust you. One in particular takes a liking to you, a black horse with a stripe of white from its muzzle to its forehead. It nuzzles its nose against the side of your head until Stretch returns, smiling as he walks over.

"somebody's attached. no, you can't bring the horse home with you." "Aww-" You fake pout, before smiling and gently petting its head. "but, you can come back to visit." "You bet I will." A determined look crosses your face. "you wanna ride this one?" He points with his thumb. "Yes- if they are okay with that, of course."

He nods, and after a few seconds the horse is saddled and ready to go.

"so, you're gonna have to sit in front of me. is that alright?" "Yeah, that's fine." "alright, cool."

He helps you get up onto the horse first. It's a bit of a strange sensation at first, but you gradually get used to it. He then climbs up and sits comfortably behind you and the saddle, gently taking hold of the reins. Feeling his arms around your waist has you feeling a bit flushed, your face heating up a bit as you hope he doesn't notice.

"comfortable?" He speaks calmly so as to not spook the horse, his head just above your shoulder. A shiver goes down your spine accompanied by an anxious smile. "Y- ..Yeah, I'm all good." You mutter, cursing yourself internally for stuttering as you hear him chuckle behind you. You don't realize at first when the horse starts to move before you snap out of a daze, looking ahead with a smile.

You feel..safe with his arms around you, even as you're very flushed. You can just blame it on the heat if he asks. What you don't know, however, is that he seems to be fairly flushed himself..a bright shade of orange lightly making its way over his cheekbones. He keeps his lazy smile as he looks over you, making sure you're alright and comfortable.

Blue has a cheeky grin as he watches you both ride around the field, leaning his arms on one of the fences.

His hold on your waist tightens a little when the horse picks up its speed, causing your face to heat up even more before that feeling is overcome by excitement. You cheer as it runs, carrying you both around.

This continues for a little while before both the two of you and the horse become tired. Stretch slides off and helps you jump down, guiding the horse back to where it can rest.

"That was fun! I wouldn't mind doing it again." "..maybe you can, next time you come over." "Yeah." You avert your eyes, your face admittedly still a little flushed. You can't fully bring yourself to meet his gaze until he reaches up to get some grass out of your hair.

"i wouldn't mind." He smirks, his eyes relaxed as he looks at you. You clear your throat. "Yeah, uh..looking forward to it." You smile in return as Blue walks over to greet you both.

"Why Don't You Guys Come Inside? I'd Love For You To Stay For Dinner. We Can Talk More!" He suggests with a friendly smile. You look over briefly at Stretch for a moment before turning back to him.

"Yeah, I'm cool with that. I'd better get home before dark, though. I've got dogs waiting at home for me." "you have dogs?" Stretch perks up, curious. "Yeah, two." "i wanna pet 'em-" "Well, maybe you can visit me next."

He grins as Blue guides you both inside, gently closing the door behind him.

Love the art!

Though I must know, why is Skybound your favorite season?

Reasons why Skybound is my favorite season.

It has stood up to the test of times, especially in my mind in the most unhealthy way possible.

It's the only season where it has STUCK to me since I was 6 and to this day it was only season that keep popping back up and the season where it pulled something in my child brain and the start of my spiral on thinking more fudged up Scenarios in my heads, alternate possibilities and more way to make the season even more messed up than it actually was and as a kid back then that watched cartoon 24/7 and watching that season of Ninjago felt fresh and something I couldn't properly understand back then and that uncertainty of what the fudge was happening made me eat up that season out of pure curiosity and need to understand what was happening, quickly spiraled into an obsession.

That even my child self became quickly aware of and never spoke of Ninjago ever again since and stopped watching but it NEVER made me stop thinking about Ninjago ever since then if I see a lego my brain would immediately think of Skybound and begin to delude myself that, that lego piece was Jay and my brain would spiral once again into my internal world of fanfics, and even when I finally first joined fandoms like undertale, mdzs etc. if I have enough time to myself, my brain would quickly turn to Skybound every chance it gets.

My obsession turned to annoyance but also began to turn to fondness once more and into acceptance, that I just accepted I will never escape Skybound, that the first ever fandom I ever joined wasn’t undertale but Lego Ninjago before I even understood what fandoms were. And Skybound will forever be stuck with me for the rest of my life just like how Jay's trauma from Skybound will forever be stuck with him for the rest of his life.

Nadakhan might've not succeeded in breaking Jay entirely, but definitely succeeded in making me give in and accept that I will never escape from Skybound in the 10 years that I been obsessed with it to an unhealthy degree but it will still forever hold a precious place in my heart, because I wouldn't be the self aware fudged up person that prefers fanfics over canon that I am today.

Thanks a lot Nadakhan :)

Also this is just the major reason why it's my favorite season. Because I have such a goldfish memory but Skybound has clung to my brain for so long that it can just become my favorite JUST because of pure resilience alone. Also because I've been fighting to forget about Ninjago but Skybound and my Brain said no so it's the season that takes the number 1 spot for me when it comes to Ninjago.

And I honestly wanna say more but also can't say more as to why It's my favorite. I feel like I need to rewatch the season after 10 years just to refresh my memory. And ask that question to myself. Just why?

And finally answer questions that my child self couldn't ask others out of fear of being too out of place and being teased and bullied for something I held strong feelings and passion towards back then and now I'm coming back to this now and of course my immediate thing that I do the moment I walk a back into this fandom is to go I went to Ao3, went to filter, and immediately typed in “Jay Walker” and “Nadakhan”

And God I never felt more happy reading fanfics of these two for the first time. In 10 years of my obsessions finally coming to fruition and I will EAT UP every skybound fanfic, headcanons etc. out there.

Also Skybound was the season that securely made Jay my favorite character. And yes I've also been obsessed with him for over 10 years ever since I first watched Lego Ninjago, like a fudging yandere that has no other reason to love their senpai just to be able FEEL something.

Wodnwkdnas I'm probably just spouting out pure nonsense, and an empty meaning and reasons as to why I love Skybound but, eh people love things for various of reasons so I might as well tell as to why since you asked, also gave me an opportunity to rant so… Thanks! ^^

Also here's a WIP for a Skybound Drawing I'll be doing, that'll maybe be posted in the future along with some of my personal Headcanon that's related to skybound, cause when you've been obsessing with a season for over 10 years without rewatching it and basing everything from you goldfish memory, make you think a lot, especially a lot of headcanons ╮⁠(⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠╭

Into something that’s not on this list? Shoot me an ask about it! I love hearing about new fandoms and just listening to people talk about their interests in general. More than likely I’ll end up looking into it. (Or I'll already know about it and just forgot to add it to the list)

[allunatory]

@bipbopdepmop Hiya! Hope this doesn't scare you but I'm answering this ask on my minecraft-related art blog LOL

Anyways I have been staring at these asks for the past few days I hope you know that you have a special place in my heart tysm

This is so long, so I'll put it under a readmore- I have a lot to say (And spoilers for anyone who hasn't read Dreams From Within The Cage yet!)

THANK YOU SO MUCH THOUGH!!! AAAA- I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!

AND YES YES!! I have so much I can say.... First of all I have to thank random ambient noise soundtracks for carrying me through the entire fic. Without them, I definitely wouldn't have been able to keep focus for long stretches of time without getting distracted by something.

Fun fact: Fic was not titled until it was time to publish LOL- I was so indecisive

I think my original ambition with the fic when I first started was just writing an Apocalypse AU... but at the same I also wanted to write world-hopping. I was inspired by a comic I had read back when I was in the UTMV (Undertale AU) fandom that explored AUs through way of dreams, and I've been wanting to try my own spin on that for a while so this was the perfect opportunity.

Now the plot wasn't actually supposed to go so crazy, that was mainly me getting extreme brainworms over the concept of an inter-dimensional organization stepping in. Originally, it was going to be mainly exploring the grief that comes with being unable to ever see the one person you feel you connect to most. Having to either accept that fact, or find a way to let go. (Definitely way more depressing, i think)

I was so stuck on the plot for a while, how to wrap it up with everything I'd planned. For a while, I was originally planning to have Grian be the one interrogated, in which he would then hide things from Scar to keep him safe, even going so far as to say they should never talk again. And then the real reason would be revealed when GIGA stepped in.

The way that was set up though, it basically meant all the cool stuff was happening where the readers couldn't see it. So after a long conversation with my good friend @/boxofwasps, I had a stunning revelation on how to swap it around- which is where the fic stands today. I think I remember literally stopping in my tracks and going "Wait. I know how to fix this. I know what I need to do." and Sprinting for my doc to write it down. Imagine me with a cork board and a bunch of red string- that was me putting this fic together

Another fun thing was that, I had so much fun writing the apocalypse world in chapter 1 that I partially wanted to just keep writing that instead of moving on with the plot LOL. I think if I had more time I definitely would have fleshed out some of the AUs they were in, as well as Scar's travels in the waking world and his own lingering trauma

Another fun fact? Me and @/cuteiemonster actually have a whole alternate timeline tree exploring the various ways the plot could have differed if things were just ever so slightly different. There's three main ones, though. Dreams (canon timeline), Nightmares (scar's awful no-good very bad day), and Delusions (grian's awful no-good very bad day) with varying degrees of angst. Please talk to me about them, because I'll likely never write anything about them but I have so many notes.

OKAY AND NOW TO ANSWER THE SECOND PART OF YOUR QUESTION!!!

I'm guessing you're asking about the cage from the hanging cages chapter? I love that scene so much btw there's so much symbolism there.

Every one of the main characters in the fic is stuck in their own cage, in a different way. I think in that chapter in particular, the cages themselves represented the fact that Scar and Grian were both trapped in separate universes. Leaving the cage wasn't an option, there. All they could do was reach across the gap and try to make do that way. Scar fiddling with the bolts of his cage is a show of his motivations and ambitions to escape the confines of his universe to get to Grian, far before he even says it aloud.

Grian stays in his cage because to him, there is no other way out. He's weighed the options, seen the dangers- and even the smallest movements out of line cause the cage to sway. It's just not worth it to try anything different, even if it means being trapped for an eternity...

I AM SO FLATTERED THAT YOU NOT ONLY READ IT BUT RE-READ IT??? HELLO?? I'm sobbing

I am so so so excited to write more for this series, I'm not going to lie. I've been writing notes and gathering ideas for what exactly I want to focus on for a potential sequel. Thanks to help from @/cuteiemonster I have a lot of headcanons for their roommate (yes, roommate) behavior. As well as what they're up to post-fic!

I will say, there is a chance there will be something I put out before the sequel fic- depending on where my motivations lie. I've been thinking about writing the story of Scar's family, and what happened to them. After all, Scar wasn't always alone out there, in the wastelands... Ooh, just thinking about it just makes me excited

The main reason I haven't immediately jumped to write more already is mainly due to school taking up a lot of my time atm! Not to mention I've been getting into a new minecraft server I've been playing in (if you see the art I've been posting to this account LOL), which is basically just every trope I'm obsessed with (Multiversal Purgatory...)

AND!!!! INSPIRATIONS AND STUFF! The anomaly was originally going to be a Creature of uknown origins, but I felt it would be more fun to make it someone with a name and face. Mumbo was a character I've been really interested in writing, so it was a bit of a no-brainer when it came to picking him. Though, it did change things slightly, because the anomaly was originally going to be an irredeemable villain character. But the more I wrote about Mumbo, the more I was like "dude this guy is too wet of a cat to be a villain on purpose" so instead we ended up with the Mumbo in the fic, who's just ever so slightly too casual about world corruption (against his will)

As for universes? I'm going to be honest, pretty much all of the universes in this fic were pretty much straight from my own noggin. I just wrote whatever felt right! There was that Pirate AU with renchanting and navy captain Grian, the Graveyard AU with a groundskeeper Scar and vampire Grian, the Superhero AU with Hotguy and the unnamed villain Grian (who's either named Xelqua or Poultry Man lets be real). A lot of the universes I wrote in-depth about were universes that I would love to write standalone fics of, so this fic itself was partially a collage of various ideas that I may or may not ever write about.

MAN I wrote way more than I was expecting. Tbh I could've written more but I don't want to keep you for TOO long LOL! If you want to talk more about it I'm so chill to chat on discord or through tumblr messaging (im crazy)

Ok one more thing

12. Have you any old muses that you’d love to bring back? (Hi!)

Munday Meme - Accepting

Hi hi!!! Thank you for sending this!!! I have a lot I'd love to bring back but I probably never will due to being so outta touch with the series. But I'll mention a few muses I love dearly and who most likely won't come back. This is also going to be super long I'm sorry I've wrote for so long I have so many muses I hold dear to me that I'd like to write again.

Julian from The Arcana. He was someone I liked but I just fell outta the series far to quickly to the point I'm very out of tune with the game. I don't wish to replay it anytime soon considering all the massive new changes nor complete routes I never finished to obtain crumbs about him that I hadn't learnt yet. I love him but like I said, I don't think I'll bring him back.

My Undertale era. God the icons look awful thanks to tumblrs image system so please look at them by clicking on them! But yeah. If you ever where apart of the Undertale RPC back when it first kicked of I was there about a month after the game was released. Muffet was my first character, then I had underswap sans. Geno!Sans was the big one though. He was a fave of mine and I did come back with deltarune briefly but left within a month as I wasn't prepared to deal with essentially the immaturity of the fandom again. I would like to write Muffet and Geno again one day but if I did I'd probably be super selective with them both.

Then we have Astro. He was originally an Underswap Gaster!Sans but then became Outertale based before I removed him completed from the fandom. He moved on to being a more independent OC for a little bit but I stopped writing him. He did become a Space God Deity but I never really did much for him and eventually benched him. I would like to write him again in the future but he will have a complete overhaul with background information as well as face claims as he is no longer skeleton based. I do have have undertale muses I wrote which was Fresh!Chara and an Aftertale Gaster!Sans who is essentially an OC and I might flesh him out one day if I can expand on him more..

You may have seen me mention my OC Rohan before that I hopefully one day will be able to bring back to tumblr. Originally, he was an RK900 from Detroit: Become Human. I wanted a unique name for him, not one of the fanon names everyone was using when writing an an RK900. But I eventually left the RPC and started writing him on Discord privately for a good year or two with people I was close too at the time. I don't write him as often now but he has expanded into being his own creation now. I'd still write him with a DBH verse but I also have some other fandom verses fleshed out for him such as Genshin and a HSR that's I'm still trying to figure out. But yea! He is someone I definitely would like to bring back one day.

And I will stop there as this got away from me! I have a few more muses for certain that I would definitely like to write again in the future but I'l be here all day if I had to mention them all!

[maxs-deactivated]

Heya! Love your taste in f/os, truly impeccable. What fandoms do you have the most developed s/is for? I'm always interested in other people's self-inserts!

HEY OMG IT'S BEEN A WHILE

First of all: THANK YOU SO MUCH DARLING SFJJSKAKC. Second of all: I have sum s/i's but not all of them are very developed lol.

Well, I think the most obvious one (since this is my first s/i ever) is the undertale one, Maxwell. (He/they)

Their story isn't finished yet but what I can say ab them is that they is a half human/half monster (ghost), they don't really look like it tho. Just a lil human hanging around the underground and happened to be the love of a skeleton's life LOL.

He was born in the underground, his father fell into the underground and fell in love with Maxwell's mom. As it was a very uncommon thing, the kids didn't really liked hanging out or talking to Maxwell on school, except sans, wich led to their friendship, and later on, their marriage (ops, spoiler).

The other one is Steven universe's one, wich is also on the top 3. Azula. (He/they)

He is a human, most important, Connie's best friend from school, and she presents Steven to him.

As he lives in beach city too, it is a lot easier for them to hang out whenever they want, so they spend most of their time together.

Unlikely Connie, Azula already has some judo training ans knows a little bit of self defense, so when they start classes with pearl it's a lot smoother.

After Steven and the gems come back to earth, Steven comes to Azula and tells this story of how much he missed them and how much he liked them, and that's when it all started <3 I personally find this very cute.

And I couldn't not talk ab Lorelay, or just Lore, from Lord of the rings. (He/they)

His family is a good mix of dwarves and hobbits and elves and humans, so we can say he has the best of every world. Despite all those different races (from his dad's part) he is half elf (from his mother's side).

He was born in Imladris, but not much after that his family moved to mirkwood, as his mother is distantly related to Thranduil, they decided to live there.

At some point, Lorelay and Legolas met and became besties instantly, wich later on became one of the reasons for him to be a recruit for soldier training.

Lorelay met Gandalf during a walk on the forest and, not too much after ending his lessons, he decided to travel around with Gandalf.

In one of those travels, he met Aragorn and , again, became deeply connected to him. They became inseparable, so Lore decided to leave Gandalf alone for a little bit and start being a pain in Aragorn's ass instead.

The two are in love, your honour, but they won't admit it for their own sake. Only after the Healms Deep battle, where Lorelay got seriously injured, Aragorn made the first move.

But just when he became king of Gondor, and they decided it was time for it, they got married.

Ofc there's a lot more lore and info ab them but if I put everything in here this post wouldn't have an end. Anyways...

Thank you sm for giving me space to talk ab this bc I never really can tell anyone bc I'm scared they'll make fun of me or something 😩😩 srsly, I don't use Tumblr as much as I used to anymore, but whenever I DO use it I look through your acc cuz I love your content too, you're so positive ab everything and that makes you such a wonderful person.

ANYWAYS LOL

Sorry for the long and late response.

See ya!!

🤡✍🎢❌🏆📈🤗

that's alot but- y'know

Yeah Ik bitch <3

1.What’s a line, scene, or exchange you’ve written that made you laugh?

uuuh, there are quite a few, I will say, one in particular though?

It'd probably have to be the interactions between Dazai and Mael, I'm not gonna lie. My boi fuels the urge to diss the hell out of Dazai in the most creative ways, it's wonderful. This one in particular is between Chuuya and Mael talking about Dazai.

' “Oh my God, he never does that.” Chuuya hummed, more astonished than he thought he’d ever feel. “He doesn’t?” Mael asked. “Nah, he usually stays the night.”

“Hmm…” Chuuya placed a hand over Mael’s head, who took to placing his chin against his shoulder, comfortably caging the brunette’s head. “Good riddance, then.”

“You know he’ll come back, right Mael?”

“...”

“I literally can’t get rid of that man, no matter how much I try.”

“...He better get utterly fucked by an Ostrich before then-”

“Oh my God??? Language, you vile piece of shit.”

“Heh.” '

2.Do you have a beta reader?

Yup! My sis @djbeatz

That, and we tend to beta read my oneshots simultaneously and side by side, and that only causes either a lot of chaos, or a lot of thoughtful conversations between each other. Either or tbh.

3.Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

Literally any crack related fics, but if we're going BSD specifically? Liquor Store Blues, that one is just chaos incarnate-

4.What’s a trope you will never write?

Yandere x anything

I just don't vibe with the yandere concept, tbh. No hate, I'm just real unsettled, and even if I did, I wouldn't write any characters who would even fit such a role, so that's just a no-go for me XD

5.What’s your most popular fic?

Good question, if we're talking about comparing all the fandoms I've written for, three so far, it'd be one of my Undertale fics, which I now wish I did better, called Songs of Grief.

I kinda hate it now, tho. The writing was terrible, pacing wasn't good at all, fuck it all XD.

6.How many fics do you have?

Uh-apparently 43....Jesus-

7.What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?

Ooooh, that's a bit tough. For me personally though??

Learn from experienced authors I guess. I like to go on YT and look up many aspects about writing as a whole to keep in mind for the future, especially from authors and writers who have been doing it for years. Things such as pacing, good and bad tropes, how to write certain scenes, how to appeal to the audience.

That, and I emphasize on the pacing part. Pacing in a story is really damn important to me, both as a fic writer and reader. I want to see a story that flows smoothly with the genre it works with. Like if you want slow burn, depending on how slow, make it take LONG, make your readers really wait for that one sweet, satisfying moment they've all been waiting for, then keep that grip on them and make them wonder, what's going to happen next? But again, don't take too long, your readers might become uninterested half-way through if it's too slow and just leave.

Or if you want a fast-paced story, quick and enjoyable all the same. Don't be so fast that it feels like your skipping major developments to get to the next scene, that's just choppy and completely turns off the reader's desire to keep reading, because then it feels inexperienced, amateur, not worth their time. You want it fast, not too fast, but still.

That's pretty much what I think at least XD. My advice ain't obsolete, so don't take it as universal! Just one option of the many out there!

Imagine you speedrun Undertale and at the end if you go below a certain threshold Flowey pops up and is like "How many hours did you waste to achieve this you idiot?" And he closes the game and forces you to never press X to skip dialogue again or some shit

I think the fandom doesn't use the meme potential of reblogging literally any textpost and tagging it spamton even if it has nothing to do with him. We could change that

Maybe it's because I'm not from the same country as most of my mutuals but it's kind of funny when I read people arguing that Hometown is weird and then list some things that are completely normal for anyone that has slightly different culture.

"But why do they have a hospital with two rooms and someone staying there?" slightly modified Family Health Center (rough translation), next question.

"But What Does Sans Sell? his store is so small why does he have magazines? How would the characters buy X Item?" Have you ever entered a boliche? A corner store? They don't just sell food sometimes I've even bought cleaning products and your average school supplies.

"How is it possible chapter 3 is church day when chapter 2 was a week day?? Do they have school on Saturday?" Deltarune could be set in literally any day of the week if chapter 3 takes places during a local religious holiday. It doesn't need to be some christian Sunday. The school week doesn't even need to be Monday to Friday.

Now "Why is there a bunker far into the Southern edge of town?" is indeed a weird thing and the game is setting it up that way. Go wild with theories.

My #1 post of 2022

NOnonono but the entire point of the promise Sans makes to Toriel about "protecting the human coming through the door". Is that he really doesn't know who she is beyond the conversations they've had so far. And he doesn't know who the human coming out from there is. But they still trust each other to make it happen, regardless of timeline.

This happens regardless of Toriel's fate in the game. If you kill her, but not Papyrus, he still comments on this promise.

And here's the thing. He has to make the decision of trusting this woman he is fond of, but ultimately doesn't know beyond what they've shared together.

And Toriel had to make the decision of trusting him too. She is convinved that the world outside the Ruins will be hostile, because she knows what's happened before. And it fucking hurts to think it could happen again. And yeah I've heard all about it how she "rejected" her duty and didn't make the right choice back then. I think Toriel is somewhat aware of that. Her moving to the Ruins was a choice she made while grieving too, but it is a decsion that goes according to her integrity as well.

ANYWAYS I'm getting sidetracked. What I mean with this post is that the implications of trusting someone else with something that is so personal, because you know your limitations (because of flaws or any other cause), and having that person receive this in a good way is so important.

And while Sans is not the best at actively doing that job, it is still remarkable how much this promise is on his mind.

The VERY LAST THING he does before his No Mery fight is apologizing to Toriel, or his memory of her, because he had to break that promise.

This post is a mess but... I need to rotate them. And also I always get a little mad when people assume that Sans doesn't make that promise when Toriel dies, like in No-Mercy. Because the whole deal about the promise is that it happens before the game, it is not something anyone, not even Flowey, can affect, and it is a reflection of the closeness the two have, so placing this as something Toriel does only if she deems the human a good person, and something Sans only "keeps" when Frisk is pacifist just takes away that weight.

Also go play neutral routes they're super interesting to make character analysis. Different events affect different characters in specific ways.

[scyphosunny]

i ddddon't wanna write . leave me alone ( hey , this is an entry for vargastober day 28 ! even though i mostly ranted about my stuff

these days have been a mess . i mean , i knew they would but i didn't expect them to get so bad . please kill me

okay . . . my personal hell started back in saturday twenty something . i don't remember when , exactly . maybe 25 ?

i knew i had two costume parties coming up , one next to the other . and i accepted both because i mean i spend all week at home , with no real social interaction on sunlight touching my skin . as much as i enjoy staying home ( sometimes i really don't ) i still need to take some precautions if i don't want to go crazy and idk end up KILLING MYSELF or something . my existence is a mess and it's one of those days where i'm pretty self aware about it . . . where was i , yeah , two costume parties . one was just whatever themed and the other one was my little pony themed ! i had to decide what exactly to take out to the one on saturday . . . i had three " cosplays " pretty much done and ready to wear . i don't really take cosplaying too seriously ( and less now , honestly ) so my way of doing it was just getting clothes just similar enough to form a cosplay and wear it in case it's needed . i had three options , ink sans , jeremie belpois or scriabin ! because of course i had to make a scriabin cosplay . what kind of fan do you think i am !

uh , well . i had to choose between all three of them and of course i just chose scriabin . aside from liking him a lot and stuff jeremie's cosplay just looked like a normal outfit on me . i mean , of course it did ! just a blue turtleneck sweater and some pants . worked just great . i told my friends about it , " should i go as the parasitic evil guy from that one fanfic i like , as a rainbow skeleton or as the loser computer nerd . and they told me that i couldn't go dressed as jeremie because i was already a loser computer nerd . idc he's so me .

hmm , now that we're at it , i want to walk about my ink sans cosplay for a bit . . .

god . this is back to where i was absolutely obsessed with undertale aus once again . 2022 , maybe .

( i used to love drawing them so much , god . . . if you scroll in my page all the way down you can see like , two pieces of fan art posted here . i wouldn't even make digital pieces , i would just make everything on my sketchbook instead . god i was happier back then-

when i liked a character a lot , i suddenly get the urge to get a cosplay of them . not even WEAR the cosplay i'm fine with just having it . and well , it was halloween 2022 , in school and dressed as sunny from omori because idk why not i just had his clothes there i guess . and i was like hey my school is chill . i should just cosplay ink sans at some point . wouldn't that be super cool . so i dedided i would ! back when i still had the money ( and energy ) for it , i would go to various flea markets to get stuff to make this cosplay . i made a list on my phone written in wingdings with everything i needed to make this cosplay ! and then i asked my mom to make it for me . i had to provide her specific references made by myebi because last time i asked her to make an undertale cosplay for me she searched references herself and found that one side of the fandom instead . i was in elementary school back when this happened .

well , i can't say i worked my ass to get this cosplay done because i was mostly just getting materials for my mom to make it , i remember going to three different places in one day to see if i could find pants like his ANYWHERE because i had this super specific mental image of how his pants looked and i really wanted something similar . i couldn't find anything so i just ended up using a long , brown skirt that did the job just alright . i took the whole thing to school , i even made an overwrite button to match the whole underverse vibe .

my friend and i made jokes about dressing up as sans and papyrus / ink sans and xgaster for halloween but he didn't do shit of course . the overwrite button was actually supposed to be a surprise for him , like ink sans pulls up and gives you , dressed as xgaster btw , an overwrite button and you're like hahaha omgggg like underverse that's actually so cool sunny you're the coolest guy ever and then everyone's happy and having a nice time and you feel the greatest you've ever felt in your whole life for embracing the cringe because you just love being cringe but instead you get to the school and you realize everyone has normal interests and meanwhile you're dressed as a rainbow skeleton , not that ANYONE will get the reference and also it's not EVEN LIKE YOU HAVE MAKEUP ON BECAUSE YOU ASKED SOMEONE TO PUT MAKEUP ON YOU BUT AT THE END YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IF IT WAS WORTH IT so you just look like a creep awkwardly sitting on a corner hoping to not be perceived by anyone and it's also hot because you have three layers of clothing on and you live in mexico are you STUPID and also the big scarf you're wearing is difficult to put on and it's also itchy so you go to your empty classroom and wait for everyone to go home so you can just escape from everything throw every piece of clothing you're wearing to the trash and cry in bed knowing that you worked for a whole year just to get that cosplay and wear it on your last halloween in highschool but instead you missed the whole day watching tiktok in a corner wishing you could just teleport home or wake up the next day being NORMAL for god's sake why can't you even enjoy anything , you spent so much time in it , you made your mom spend so much time working on it for it to turn into a bad memory and

. i think i got a little bit sidetracked there . hey did i ever talk about that one time when i learned piano and dressed up as sunny to play duet on an event i was going-

you know what the worst part of it is ? no one even made fun of me , it was just me . i was the one not allowing myself to enjoy the experience . god i'm tearing up as i write this . maybe i should take a break .

i actually had pretty much everything done for scri's cosplay since last year , some nice pants to wear , his glasses , an unusual amount of red yarn to tie on my hair since well i do that every day just because i can . and of course , a nice , long coat to wear . i didn't actually get his shirt , or not his actual shirt of course but i know that if i pushed my mom just a bit to find a shirt that worked for the cosplay she would've done it in the first place . and when i say " pushed just a bit " i mean pushing her . like , at all . i mean , she loves sewing and she did make some adjustments to my coat and she enjoyed it , but to be honest i was too lazy to actually go and tell her i wanted his shirt . too much work , and she would ask for photos of scriabin , which would have to be mostly my art to avoid the possibility of her seeing some gay stuff . i actually did have to show her some pictures , and i just opened my askblog and showed her some photos from there . great .

hmm . . . i used to have some photos of a thing i made where i drew everything i wanted to get for the cosplay , but i can't find it anymore . . . i don't know where it is . . . maybe i should ask nyne if he has it , i'm 90% sure he does . ..

oh hey i found it ! oh god , as you can see i also wanted to add the wings . i've seen a bunch of cosplays on tiktok with WINGS THAT CAN FOLD THEMSELVES . isn't that like , the coolest thing ever ? i really wanted to make scriabin's wings this way . i figured it would also be easier since well they're bone wings and adding the yarn would be fun but lol KEEP IN MIND I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT COSPLAYING IN THE FIRST PLACE . i know i can just idk get materials and learn and ngl the idea sounds pretty sick but at the time i didn't have the time or the money to buy material . right now i do have time but no motivation at all . so . WHATEVER , maybe i can make something as cool in the future . who knows

uhh . . . where was i . . . what was i talking about . . . . . . i don't know .

( hello this is sunny again . i started writing this a day ago but i mentioned the halloween thing and i ACTUALLY got super depressed by it and also i smashed my keyboard several times because my space key wasn't working properly but hey i'm back and feeling better

i showed up to the first party . .. god , i had to walk a lot . there was a fucking horse parade on the street my bus was supposed to go through . there was a bunch of people recording and now they have a clip of scriabin walking next to a bunch of horses . what a fun thing .

once i actually got to the party i realized that i was going to be the only one of my friends to show up . they were busy so i get it . but i miss them . at the end two more people i didn't know showed up and we played uno , then we watched the fnaf movie while eating maybe way too many snacks . i ate an abnormally sized bag of takis . god , i love takis . then we played just dance ! i really love playing just dance . i think i'm good at it .

anyway , i got home pretty late . i refused to take the glasses off because scriabin wouldn't . but god , they made everything dark because of course they're sunglasses lmao so i had a hard time moving around . idc it was worth it .

little thing though . . . when i was about to play just dance with my friends i emptied my pockets because i had a bunch of spare change and my keys there . and i didn't want them to make a bunch of noise . fun thing is that i forgot to get my keys back ! and my family was in another party so i had to wait outside my house until they got there . it was abnormaly cold for mexico . . . good thing my scri coat made a good job keeping me hot .

lol here's me with the cosplay on . . . i just realized i didn't even TAKE ANY ACTUAL PICS OF IT just some videos to show them to friends . i do have a video showing the whole thing but the quality and the lightning is so bad i might as well not post anything at all . whatever , you have a video . imagine the rest of it . just make sure to add big ass platform shoes to the mental image please .

while i was waiting . i was texting the people from the mlp themed party and i told them i was dressing as twilight sparkle ! i actually put a bunch of effort on my costume , which is unusual for me already . i just don't have a lot of energy rn . i dyed a bunch of clothing purple and my mom sewed some nice ears and a horn for me to wear . i was super excited to go ! and then they told me that there was supposed to be only one twilight sparkle , which was the birthday girl . that they said that in the gc but my stupid ass won't actually check messages most of the time . and yeah i get it but :( :(((((( my costume ! i actually did cry a bit thanks to that . i had to get another costume in less than 9 hours and it's not like i had the energy so i was actually considering not going to the party . they said it was okay , that i could be a bootleg version on twilight and ngl it did feel offensive lol so whatever i guess i'm going as fluttershy . i woke up next day to my mom sewing a new pair of ears for me . she's so sweet . . .

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤoh also fun thing i spent part of the night crying because i was talking with cris about how much i missed my best friend so i woke up with a swollen face that didn't disappear for A LOT . great . as soon as i get to the party one of my friends asks me " did you sleep properly ? you look really tired . " and i was like hahaha yyyesss i think i just cried myself to sleep because i missed my best friend but um i'm okay now i actually lied i didn't even get good sleep

god whatever . . . the party was okay . too much people and birthday girl got sick and we had to finish the party . the food was nice , at least .

the real thing happens the next day . but hey this isn't about how much i want to kill myself , this is about my vargastober piece !

let's see , i had something way more simple planned for this one . and i actually remember watching the reference i had on my board thing and i was like . should i do this or something HUGE just because i FEEL LIKE IT ( i decided to go by that second option . you know me . i just love this scenario so much man , it's kinda funny how i made at least five chapter 20 pieces and they all have insane amounts of effort . don't look at me , it just happens . just be grateful ! though , i feel like these are pieces not a lot of people can enjoy . i mean , what if you're not crazy about chapters 20 / 21 like i am because you don't have age regression issues / a soft spot for stories with kids ? ( i'm just roasting myself here ( that ooor maybe you don't really know what the story is about maybe you just follow zarla because of any other thing and while you do recognize that one asshole with long hair and the average looking guy you just don't know what the heck is happening like what why are they kids this doesn't make sense . also , it's not like anyone else draws this much about this scenario but also it's not like there's ANY vargas fans in the first place so i guess being the crazy one is MY job . i think that being crazy for vargas is . . . my job god WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT HOW IS THIS RELATED

anyway , yes . i wanted to draw something like what i did for a long , loooooong time now . i remember being like " should i do ( thing ) or should i finally draw them like that " and then i would just do anything else . i'm glad i didn't try though , i'm just getting experience working with backgrounds so i'm glad i could do something once i actually knew what i was doing . well ,

i used this as a reference , and i watched this tutorial to help me with it . i still took the other thing as a reference though . i did get my own poses and stuff but the background and color palette are similar . XP

let's see . . . if i'm honest , i don't even have too much to say about the process . i got the background done quite fast ! nature backgrounds are always easier to work with since they don't need lineart most of the time . . .

i really liked the background so far ! but i started feeling weird . my head started to hurt and my eyes to feel itchy ????????? idk . i was like god . am i going to get sick . ( i got sick

so i just saved the thing and left it there for later . i watched my daily dose of code lyoko with my sister and then i took a shower . . . at this point i was literally shivering for no reason . yeah , sick . a fever . goooooooooood , kill me . last time it all started with a fever , then everything happened and i gave up on vargastober . of course i wouldn't allow this to happen again i think so i turn my pc on at 12AM and i try to get myself to work on it i rested my head on my desk for 20 minutes , then i wsa like nah man i'm not gonna do shit i turned my pc off and i called it a day . next day i felt better , just with a random stomachache that wasn't leaving . i got myself to work on it at night , and i was able to draw scri them both and color scri before 4AM .

works just great . next day i got myself to work on it on those 40 minutes before code lyoko started because i was feeling bad and unmotivated . . . . . i didn't think i would finish it but hey i did

so , this is the piece ! i added a reflection , blurred the background , corrected the color a bit and colored the line for it to be visible enough . something i don't like about working with backgrounds without a line is that , in order to make the characters fit on the piece i have to color their line until it's barely visible . not gonna lie , i think edgar does look a bit weird . i don't like the texture on his pants . i wish i changed them to idk green but i didn't have enough time to look at it and correct a bunch of stuff . i guess i'm satisfied with it , maybe if it bothers me too much i'll actually go back and edit the piece . i don't know . i don't really feel like it . also , i like the brushes i used for this one . i used the same canvas brush i used for forgotten's piece and god i

also hey you want a speedpaint

i keep forgetting to record these man

more talking about life now that vargastober is over my motivation to draw just evaporated . i have a piece to finish , which is actually also from vargastober and idk i might finish it tomorrow and post it if i like how it looks but i honestly don't think i'll like it . don't get me wrong it looks gorgeous so far i just don't know if i can get it to look scriabin enough . the piece erases some of his most iconic details so it's hard to realize it's scriabin in the first place lol

i also need to work on the askblog . . . i already have my idea done i just need to fucking draw it oh god

these days have felt like they're ai generated . everything feels weird and kinda negative too . i don't know , kinda feels like i'm about to die yknow . yeah i haven't been great

i read a piece of shit ( a messed up code lyoko fanfiction ) and now everything just feels weird . nyne said it might be sickness haze and idk MAYBE that makes sense . also , the stomachache disappeared . . . . i'm glad . i really thought i ruined my stomach permanently with takis .

idk when i'll post anything . i have some ideas for comics but comics are long and uuuggghhhhhhhhhhh

so yeah , these days have been about being miserable and sick . i miss my best friend . meg , if you see this please break up with your boyfriend , meg's boyfriend if you're reading this no hard feelings dude keep making him happy it's not like i was able to do that

I'm afraid your Gyftrot suggestion might be misguided, my irken fellow. You need only CHECK this out...

Gyftrot is already on the lookout due to his run-ins with the Snowdin teens who decorated it. It's Frisk's "youthful demeanor" that makes it suspicious:

Once again, there's this recurring vagueness and unsureness when monsters try to profile Frisk. They're FAR from capable of identifying them as anything specific, race OR agewise.

But returning to your point. I think it's fair to read Gyftrot's behavior as lumping Frisk in with the other gang of (more recognizably) teenaged hooligans who bothered it before, without really knowing Frisk's age. Not to mention, the dialogue you brought up reads "teeenage". As in an adjective, not a noun, to apply to "googly eyes". Considering Frisk found those on the ground...

...my assumption was always that they were a piece of decoration, belonging to those very teens from before, that Gyftrot had just managed to shake off. ie: "teenage googly eyes".

But I concede that this a very back and forth kind of point, so I think we can file this away as net zero information, HAHAHA.

I'm happy to know my arguments landed re: Papyrus, age confusion and why the date being inappropriate is part of the joke. If I may add another log to the fire, allow me to quote my favorite Papyrus phonecall of all time:

This is just SUCH a succint summary of my point in my original reply re: Undertale's tone and why people in fandom REALLY overexaggerate the negative impact it has on frisk. Kids love deadly spikes! This is a battle RPG! There's gonna be battles! The protagonist can take a few hits it's FINE, where's the fun otherwise? Do you want to play the game or not...?

But specifically, I would like to point out the punchline of the joke here, which is "IF YOU KNOW ANY KIDS, YOU SHOULD ASK THEM!!!" which requires that 1) Frisk is a kid and 2) Papyrus is very VERY oblivious about their age in order for it to land.

It's why I roll my eyes at people who DO agree that Frisk is a kid, but then say Papyrus is doing a playdate with them, like... No babes. He's just face blind as fuck LMAO.

Lastly, I think thee main and biggest argument for frisk being on the kid/younger side of teen at max is the fact that Undertale doesn't exist in a vacuum, but is in close conversation with its successor, Deltarune. We DO have a visual representation of what a human in the 16-18 age range looks like (one that looks like an older Frisk, at that) through Kris.

And come to think of it, Monster Kid too! With a change in size and proportion that is roughly equivalent to the Frisk/Kris one. I think this is enough to assume their comment about striped sweaters was—aside from being a meta joke about RPGs—more or less correct. Or at least, it speaks to some authorial intent on Toby's part for the way we're supposed to think about these characters.

I could also mention the very many MANY pieces of promotional art, official merch and depictions that don't confine themselves to the games' pixelated art style where Frisk is more recognizably a child. But I thought I'd restrict my points to the strictly canonical stuff :P

I bow to the jury. My argument is done. So sorry for the stupidly long essay in your notes, HAHAHA!

Why did the entire Undertale fandom collectively decide that Frisk is 3-8 when they repeatedly flirt with people and go on a romantic date with Papyrus (who fully intended to be attracted to them but couldn't and feels as though this is a failing on his part) and even was supposed to have a robot husband at one point in development.

I tried being shitposty and goofy about it a year or two ago but no one took me seriously then so I'm phrasing it as a genuine question this time. Why is everyone so content to pretend this recurring aspect of their character just doesn't exist.

(just me telling my life)

Hi! How're you? Been a while!

Lots of things have changed. And lots of things has stayed the same. I'm back, more than ever, in some of my old fandoms. I've fled, again, from persons who weren't right for me and I've been trying to rebuild myself since then.

I've made my coming out IRL in a lotta way. As a genderfluid person, as an asexual person but also as a part of a DID System (to explain shortly, "I" don't have a real sense of identity but I have many identities instead, my thoughts are fragmented, I have a lot of amnesia aaand I'm aware of that since my 8 years old. Caused a lot of distress when I was a kid and didn't know what that was.). I won't be talking about it since that's not the point but I'm giving classes, lessons, about that, where I'm working and it's kinda rewarding to see my colleagues calling me by my alter name and using the right pronouns. I'm back to doing what I have done in my teenagehood, basically helping baby systems with what I know. Always had a thing for psycho, now I'm reading the whole DSM-5. I think I'll work my way into being a diplomed therapist when I'm stable.

I'm still drawing my OCs, still love them so much. Crow has an alternate version as a rat anthropomorph and he's so cool in both.

I'm still working on his plushie as well! It's... Really hard to make.

I know that'll sound edgy, but as for my mental health... I'm SH free since August. Still tryna off myself from time to time but I have a psychiatrist, a psychologue and a therapist following me close so I guess I'm on the right track? They helped guessed that a lot of panic attacks, anxiety and meltdowns were coming from sensory overloads. I have some tests to pass about that. Most of what's left were from attachment issues and codependancy. Which... I have no longer the possibility to be triggered of.

I have another Undertale Roleplay waiting. Basically two friends are waiting for my lazy ass. Crow'll have a ship in it. Isme as well. They already have drawn my characters and I really need to get back to writing.

I'm currently making Cookie Run Kingdom plushies as well as Your Boyfriend Game plushies. I'm making a lotta plushies. I love making plushies.

Also been taking acting classes (theatre) for a year now and we will have a representation next week!

As a canon sans fanatic, man,I JUST LOVE HOW YOU WRITE SANS! I want to write sans as faithful to the canon like you one day, so you have some tip or something to master the art of writing sans undertale as accurated as possible?

make a file with all of his lines. the undertale text dump is your best friend. select all, copy, open a new document, paste it in. the deltarune one is a bit trickier because it's not formatted as tidily but it's there too. as for the rest, you're on your own. alarm clock winter dialogue, casino dialogue, crosstitch book, Q&A. all of it. snoop around. and then format it into looking normal. this means removing all the asterisks and putting it all back into chronological order because the dialogue dump is a bit all over the place. i used to be annoyed about it, but honestly it was a good excuse to look at the dialogue more. i already have a fully formatted doc but... not gonna share it with ya. half the benefit comes from having to read it so many times yourself while putting it together. actually, this is a practice I'd recommend to learn the voice for any UT character

you are going to treasure this file. consult it constantly. now, make ANOTHER file, open them side by side, and start jotting down shit. sentence length, structure, vocal tics, any pattern you can spot. look at what makes him tick. for the more, uhhh, mathematical side of the analysis, sometimes i plug bits and pieces of it in prowritingaid. the free plan does 500 words per session. it rules.

i am not kidding, are you writing in his voice? then consult that file constantly. if a specific term feels weird, look if he's said it before in canon. if he hasn't, look for a synonym (or shortened version). if he doesn't have that, either reword your bit, look for phrases where he says basically the same thing but with a different structure, or just say fuck it and leave it in anyway. hey, I'm not your babysitter

undertale is a comedy and sans is a comedic character. his comedic role is as crucial to his persona as his speech pattern is. sure you can make him be funny, but is he being funny in a way that fits his role?

continuing off the previous point: sans is a "born lucky" character. a jester. a troll. in a comedic context, this means he's always landing on his feet. this man's got the rules of comedy wrapped around his fingers so tight you'd figure they owe him money. one does not simply "dunk" on sans undertale. either the situation isn't goin to arise full stop, or you're going to get your ass handed back to you with "some king" written on it in magic marker, or he's going to roll with the punch. people don't laugh AT sans, they laugh WITH him.

do you however require him to eat shit for story purposes? alright. like i said, roll with the punches. if he can't turn the situation around in his favor, he's going to brush it off with humor and nonchalance. relegate the shit eating to the machinations of his inner monologue

so! you managed to get all the way here with a reasonably canon sounding sans and now you're finally at that emotional scene you wanted to write for so long! how exciting! dial it back. it's too emotional. "but i already d-" nope. trust me, I'm guilty of this too. artists and writers love melodrama, but whatever you're thinking is too showy for him. so dial it back again for good measure.

"but what if i insult his brother to his face-" you can do that in-game, he tells you sarcasm isn't funny, says a nice thing about him, then moves on like nothing happened

"but what if i killed his brother-" you also do that. in the game. he leaves. hauls ass immediately, drops off the face of the earth, takes a memento with him and then he's Gone. his meetings with him afterwards are brief, sterile and resentful, but he doesn't explode or anything

continuing once again, Angry Sans Does Not Yell. there's a whole fandom subgroup dedicated to making him a big burly roaring axe-weilding cannon blazing killing machine. this is very cheap. sans is an example of one of the most impactful uses of audio design in undertale, and it's when it cuts out entirely as he begins to speak. sans is terrifying because he's quiet.

there's only one occasion where he raises his voice and acts intimidating in a more stereotypically tough guy way, and that's in the second part of his fight. you know, when he's getting tired by the minute, his trap already failed and he's not so metaphorically feeling the hounds of hell yapping at his bony heels. he's panicking, and it takes him a LOT to get there, so if it happens in your story don't throw it out there all willy nilly.

likewise, long gone are the days of teary eyed sans clutching papyrus' scarf, vowing to revenge his death and bring you to justice to protec-wait a second this is undyne. anyway, those days are gone and thank god for that. sans is inherently conflict avoidant, in a very similar way to papyrus. but most of all he's private: with his emotions, with his grief, with his backstory, with his trauma. sans faced with something devastating, or depressing or just plain hopeless doesn't beat his chest like a woman in some trashy romance novel. he shuts down. he leaves as soon as he can..

now, sometimes you're writing a story and you kinda NEED him to eat shit. or become emotional when confronted with something, or get him flustered cuz he's in love, or cry or get angry or snap, etc etc. for plot purposes! that's completely fine. not everything has to follow undertale's criteria. but, if you want to keep it feeling authentic, try to keep it mind that this condition is NOT standard for him. this is uncharted territory. it's the exception that confirms the rule, not the new average (think eggs husband joke in dr), and thus you're going to need to justify it in the face of the story. give him a reason to get to that point. build it up slowly and carefully. too much and you break the character. if you're doing a backstory for him, maybe before he was as cynical as he is today, you might have a bit more breathing room, but you're gonna have to work backwards to explain How He Got Here, both morally and personality-wise

this response is already colossally long so I'm gonna close it here. it's pretty late now in my country and I don't know if any of it is coherent, but i hope it helped you at least a little. night night!!
