#I love cartoony flirty tricksters so much

[arainmorn-art]

An art-trade I've done with @wr1ghtw0rth! ^^

Mr Nix from Kit's AU is our Phoenix (oh my god, who could have guess!!!) disguised as superhero to help Edgeworth with the most dangerous crimes, but also shamelessly flirt with him, as, according to Superman's and Tuxedo Mask's precepts, a one accessory on the 1\4 of your face can hide your entire personality XD

Kit asked me to use my cartoony style for it and I was happy to deliver!

More of this AU here and here

Kit, hope you liked this art-trade! ^^

I'm imagining Undertale as a zany cartoon. As in, a Looney Tunes-esque thing.

In my head, I just called it Toontale. Simple enough.

Basically, it's about the cast doing wacky cartoon stuff. Just like Looney Tunes.

I loved Looney Tunes when I was younger (and I still do), so thinking of this gives me happiness in ways I can't describe.

And then I imagined Frisk being the only normal human in this wacky cartoon world and Toontale was born.

So, I'm gonna give a brief summary of the characters... My favourite. :)

Also, yes, a lot of their behaviours ARE based on classic cartoon characters! It just feels right!

Ready. Here we go!

Flowey:

Think of Wile. E. Coyote but he can talk. (Wait, Wile. E. can already talk... Not usually, but still.)

Flowey does all sorts of crazy things to try and get Frisk's soul.

Predictably, his schemes often end up backfiring on him, either due to his own overconfidence or Frisk's ridiculously good luck.

Of course, Frisk's luck runs out when he starts being serious. Anyone want a Photoshop Flowey?

Possibly the only character that's a tried and true REAL threat. When he gets serious, that is.

Basically, when Flowey decides to attack directly, he's a LOT more competent.

And his backstory is the same.

Asriel is not very cartoony either.

Toriel:

She's the tu-Toriel. She means well.

She knows the monsters and all the wacky antics that ensue.

Not immune to slapstick, but is less susceptible to it than the others.

Borders the line between "straight man" and the "karmic trickster."

However, the "karmic trickster" side is rare, and it's a lot more subtle than Sans.

Her fight consists of classic cartoon gags that Frisk would encounter on their journey.

Her fight is literally a showcase of everything.

She holds back because she still wants to keep Frisk safe.

Sans:

His counterpart is based on none other than Bugs Bunny!

The sly trickster of the group. He uses his wit to get out of work.

Sometimes he can be a bit... strange. Not as strange as Papyrus, but still. Strange.

When he's not being lazy, he's being a nutty trickster to people, mainly Papyrus.

His dynamic with Papyrus is almost exactly like the main game, just 10% wackier.

He likes to trick Undyne too. And Frisk.

Very friendly when not provoked.

More meta than he seems. Most likely to directly break the fourth wall.

Papyrus:

He's pretty cartoony already, so not much has changed.

His puzzles ALWAYS backfire. No matter what. Mostly on himself.

Papyrus can change costumes at the blink of an eye.

He claims to be the straight man, but he's actually much kookier than most of the cast.

Sometimes says random things that don't make sense, but Sans always understands him.

Overconfidence is a curse.

He isn't stupid, but he has stupidly bad luck. His boss battle proves that.

His heart is as big as his wackiness.

Extremely hyperactive sometimes.

VERY prone to slapstick.

Undyne:

Super tough fish with a temper!

Zany, but is very prone to slapstick.

A lot of her pursuits of the human end up with her mistaking Frisk for something or someone else, including a random cactus and Monster Kid.

Sometimes she can get into tunnel vision, making her less likely to see random cartoonish traps.

Made of steel. She can survive anything. Well... almost anything.

Her Undying form is... less toony. She's more powerful and scary.

Her temper can get her into a lot of trouble.

Not stupid. Just impulsive and narrow-minded at times.

Alphys:

A strange case.

She's very much a relatable straight man. But her fantasies can make her just as wacky as the rest.

Her eyes are very expressive, especially around Undyne. They turn into hearts and love bubbles come out of her.

Often foiled with other wackier characters like Undyne and Mettaton.

Shy and polite, but she has a trickster side when pushed too far or reaching for a goal.

Her toon traps are top-notch too! She knows what she's doing!

When she's confident (rare), she can be sarcastic and assertive, at times even flirty.

Mettaton:

Another trickster!

A trickster who can be, again, overconfident with his traps.

Unlike Papyrus and Flowey, though, they DO NOT backfire on him.

His ego is enormous, but he's also incredibly smart.

He knows the rules of the cartoon world. He knows how to cheat the system.

While he isn't immune to slapstick, he tends to initiate it more often than not.

Knows how to put on a good show.

Pretends to be dumb. It's all a trick.

Asgore:

The ultimate straight man.

Very aware of the strange antics of his subjects.

He likes to watch and laugh at their antics. It distracts him from his inner torment.

He can be just as goofy sometimes, especially when he's happy.

He's VERY prone to slapstick, especially since he's a straight man.

Gets stuck everywhere.

When alone, he likes to take things a bit more seriously. He has to for the sake of the kingdom.

After all... Who needs a looney king? (This world does.)

That's it for now!
