W. D. “Wings” Gaster Edition

Filled out the 25 Expressions challenge again, this time with one of my AU versions of Gaster from Undertale. This was to practice drawing him again mostly, but it also shows his various expressions as is the challenge.

For more information on this Gaster, go to the Read More below.

Blank version is under the Read More too.

Wings (the nickname given to him by my friend @allykatsart’s OC, Frost) is an AU version of Gaster (or so it is assumed). He comes from an Underswap AU for one of my oldest AUs: Shardie’s Tale.

Shardie’s Tale being the AU story where my OC, Shardie (most of you know her as the protagonist of Ōkamitale probably) ends up in an Undertale universe before the events of the game happen. In it she meets W. D. Gaster and his original science team, and the two become good friends as she comes to learn about the world she is now in and the rules of that world’s people and power.

Once Gaster disappears (falls into his creation and shatters across time and space) Shardie then travels the Underground alone. At one point she meets and befriends the Soul of Kindness (the Green Soul) in that world, journeying with her until she meets her own end which Shardie cannot prevent. So she goes back to wandering the Underground alone until Frisk appears and the time loops begin.

With Frisk’s arrival, strange glitching creatures Shardie calls Corrupts then start popping up. Which Shardie finds only she can destroy and takes up that task, protecting the Underground from the sidelines as Frisk goes about their journey. At one point Shardie then met Tabitha, a half-human/half-Monster with cat features who takes an instant shine to Shardie after the canine creature disposed of another Corrupt. Eventually Shardie then met Tabitha’s older (adult) and more protective sister, Frost who did not like or trust Shardie. If that changes I don’t know.

Later it is revealed Tabitha and Frost have an error in their code. There is a high chance they will disappear from the world when Frisk Resets and not return for many Resets after. (Think Gaster’s Followers and the FUN value effecting their spawn chance. It’s similar to that, I think.)

A lot more happens after…but that’s all the context needed for Wings’ story, which is the Swap version of Shardie’s Tale. Instead of Shardie being the stranger from another world, it’s Gaster, but he isn’t a Shardian. Shardie, in turn, is a full Monster but looks like her usual wolf-creature self just bipedal and a scientist who goes by Dr. Kishimori. Instead of Gaster falling into his creation, Dr. Kishimori falls into hers and Gaster leaves because he has nothing left to stay for when all but Papyrus (and maybe Sans) have forgotten the Royal Scientist.

Gaster then does what Shardie in the other AU did, but I think he would have befriended the Soul of Justice (Yellow Soul) but I don’t know. Either way he eventually also starts killing Corrupts after Chara arrives, then meets Frost (who is the kind, friendly one here) through saving her from one. Unlike Shardie, who is openly against Tabitha tagging along because she (Tabitha, who is a child) will get hurt…Gaster is more reserved and acts like he just doesn’t want her around. She then started calling him Wings because he said his name was “Wing Dings”

Eventually he meets Tabitha as well (who is the guarded, surly one here but still a child…but if you asked Wings he would call Tabitha an annoying brat that asks too many questions.) And that’s it so far. There is more about Wings, but that will actually be revealed in Ōkamitale eventually.

Blank version of meme:

I did not make this, but there isn’t a link to the original anywhere. So posting it with mine.

Confined to Paradise

He always spent the better half of his time at the camp outdoors watching over the young future soldiers fly through the air and made sure that no one fell out of the sky headed for death. Luckily, he never needed to perform such a heroic stunt because most seemed to know exactly what they were doing, even his little brother seemed to be holding his own. Of course, there were always people who seemed to get the hang of the maneuvers faster than others, but instead of keeping a steady focus on Falco, he was interested in watching a lone girl who was quite the master despite only being a trainee. Her name was Mikasa Ackerman, and according to Shardis, she was the brightest student the former commander had ever seen. Colt vaguely recalled meeting her once or twice in the Shiganshina District during his younger years. They never spoke aside from a small occasional thank you when he would chase some bullies off for Armin before she and Eren Jaeger could get there and fight. His brother always had stories of her super strength as they were the same age, but he never quite believed him thinking they were only just a grand over dramatic retelling of a simple story. Though, now that he’s seen her in action, he could say that now he was a believer in the great tales of Superkasa. Her technique was practical and nearly perfect, but while watching he noticed a stiffness in her hips. The rest of her body seemed to be fluid and graceful, and it made the stiffness all the more noticeable. He glanced up at the sky gauging the time and shrugging to himself. Once they were called to attention, he would try to pull her aside and let her know. Right before she went to the girls' barracks, yes, that would be a good time. Shardis should be calling them back soon. Any time now. @saigeburt

Though we didn’t start out on the best of terms...I’m still so glad I met you.

A day-late valentine’s day picture. I’m posting both versions here since I can post multiple pictures at once. The whole thing silently explains the story behind this relationship, but the hint I’ll give: Redeemed villain, and enemies to lovers.
