#Since the CORE's explosion messed up the time inside the dimension- it created different what-if timelines

"Despite everything... It's still me, right?"

Pit without his cape looks so different (ᵕ•_•)

AU-lore-dumping information with rambling below: ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The CORE, which was once full of pure magic, turned corrupted and unstable after a bomb made it explode. Pit's and Chara's souls were sucked into the remains of the CORE, corrupting the CORE's magic even further. While Chara's soul stayed untouched by the CORE's corruption, Pit's soul and magic got stained. But he is still himself, despite those new funny voices and hallucinations feelings, right? ... Right?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

While the last Pit-got-corrupted-part is still a concept, the first half is set in stone in this AU. I'm close to finding a name, I swear!

The CORE does not directly provide them with magic, like in Horrortale, for example. It was once built to take all the monsters into a self-made-built dimension where -theoretically- humans cannot reach them anymore. It drains the magic from the human world to power up and to transfer it to their dimension for the monsters to use.

I say theoretically since there was still a way for Chara to got sucked into their dimension.

Because of reasons that would be too long to explain, humans found them and attacked while the monsters were celebrating a festival that they hold every year.

That's actually the day I'm focusing on the most right now since everyone's life changes after that. It basically revolves around the CORE's explosion, the reason for the festival's existence, Chara's real dad, and Pit... Papyrus is a depressed mess and will probably never recover from this.

But uhm... I really don't know how to properly show everything. Maybe I just make more lore-dumping posts and put them later inside my pinned post or something. This AU has a lot to unpack, and I didn't even really start with the other's character designs! Except for Chara, but her design has lore reasons.
