#Steamworks Gardener

[underdustyellow-au]

Clover, what kinda stuff do you eat? I mean- I'm assuming you can't buy things from the shop any more.

Food?

Hope this answers your question!

[phantom-nisnow]

Whoaaaaa be a little more careful!

[rustedleopard]

The Ketsukane mansion drives me a bit nuts. You've already heard me talk about how Chujin used up his savings from his time in the Steamworks to build it but also just.

Ceroba admits that she initially found the estate to be too big for her tastes; she assumes that the size was Chujin's way of insinuating that they have a larger family together. This was Chujin's grand gesture of love, a passion project and his way of providing the best of the best for his family rolled into one. But, even though it wasn't his intention, the task of providing financially for the family fell onto Ceroba's lap. Every inch of it is the hallmark of craftsmanship, it's practically a palace. There's a kotatsu and fireplace in the heart of it even though the climate is far too warm to warrant those things. Chujin crafted every inch of Kanako's room with loving intention, right down to the video games, and he gets two office spaces for himself, and meanwhile Ceroba has... a closet full of clothing. Ceroba calls the garden he grew outside "almost like a reflection of [Chujin's] own SOUL." When Chujin started dying from the serum he created using a human child's SOUL, his garden started wilting and dying as well. There's an office that Chujin used for all the secrets he didn't want to share with his family baked right into the foundation of the home and right on top of it was the table that the family sat together and ate dinner at.

Do the Robots exist here? And if they do... are they any different?

Aha!!! If it is robos you ask then robos you shall receive!!!! *bows* *stumbles and falls on my face*

The robots are a bit different!!!

For one, Guardener will be more important!!! I love her so much i couldn’t help myself!!! and i wanted her and Axis to be friends :(

She, like all the others, is more humanoid. She has “hair” consisting of vines and ferns of an invasive, albino species of plant. She lives in the now much larger garden area of the Steamworks before she was shut down after it was abandoned. She floats around using jets of steam to avoid trampling the plants she tends to and help water them simultaneously!

She has her little backup bots too! I decided to call them RO-BEAU’s, standing for Rutherford Oscar (their creator), Backup Enforcement Assistant Units. If Guardener is gonna be more important, they’re definitely gonna be more important, but still pretty insignificant.

And, lastly, AXIS. Axis is, of course, a monster eradication, soul storage and experimental magic robot. not a mouthful at all and totally not gonna change./s

He was made out of Chujins paranoia regarding monsters. No officials would have approved his creation, so he was worked on in secret for years, sucking dry Chujins savings and sanity like a soul powered sponge until his final days.

In the end, he would get his head broken off and his body used for one of Mettatons first bipedal iterations. owch.

And the others. As for Sousborg (i think he’s called) i don’t know jack shit about him so i’ll have to look into it. And Jandroid, Goosic, and Vendy? they’re probably just gonna be more humanoid and get some more robot friends. That wall thing is staying the EXACT same, they’re annoying enough to think about no less try to rewrite, redesign and edit.

Will robo talk more at a later date, gotta think about if it’s all too much spoilers….

also this MAY make no sense it’s like 1am rn…

[orilimbs]

May I ask how SteamWorks turned out this way? Why did the robots go crazy? Who lost their minds first? How did axis turn out the way he is? Actually, tell me EVERYTHING ABOUT STEAMWORKS GRAHHHH

Well, this a bit complicated but here it is:

When the neutral route occurred, Asgore ordered to close "useless" areas like the Steamworks to maximize priority in more important areas like training the royal guards or others, making many monsters lost their job and contact with their creations.

The robots began to get colectively crazy due to not having more "purpose" on life anymore and losing contact with their creators, so robots began to destroy themselves and having hostile actions. Steamworks is the most dangerous area after The Wild East.

The first to lost their minds were the music and tv robots, then were the recepcionists and finally Guardener. Axis is not crazy and remains neutral-pacifist.

Axis was created after the incident to help monsters, two months later Steamworks was closed with Axis inside but he remained calm. However, this pacifist actitude made Axis vulnerable to attacks due to he not responding with violence and instead, he responds with care or medical kits.

The garden is full of black flowers and destroyed robot parts. There's no pink lava and instead theres only an endless void. All offices are destroyed and so the electricity, making it difficult to travel and pass. The reason Axis has blood on his clothes its because he made succesful operations on monsters to save them from infections or similar.

Aaaaand thats all i got for now i guess

Merry Christmas - From the Second Chance souls

Notes for the people that are wondering:

Reminder that Greater Dog is living with Toriel and her kids. So she decided to let the other dogs come over for Christmas.

The dog behind Doggo is Doge. Yeap. Doge. The unused royal guard dog from Undertale. In my AU she is Lesser dog's sister so she came with him.

Guardener and the Lil Bots live in Ceroba's home after moving to the surface. The Steamwork robots were let out of the Steamworks by Asgore because Kanako begged for Axis to be able to live with her and her family and because Toriel gave Asgore the death stare after hearing Kanako beg for it. So the Steamworks robots found new homes on the surface. Ceroba let Guardener stay with them because she wanted to have a garden on the surface. Just like the one that Chujin had in their old home. So she offered Guardener a home so she could help take care of it.

Not sure if people have said this before (it’s probably common knowledge at this point and I’m just slow) but I JUST REALIZED.

AeroArtwork, at 07:40:12 in the Prismathon stream of UTY: “Uh, there’s still a little, uhm, secret here that I haven’t seen anybody— uh— figure out yet. Uhm— This monitor right here, uh, the image on there actually has a bit of a— a secret on it. It’s not a huge secret or anything, but a couple of things of connections I haven’t seen people put together on it yet.”

And then, after being asked if it’s a reference to the Microsoft hill background, just with a cave ceiling: “It’s not that it’s just a cave roof, uh, keep in mind considering how long the Steamworks has been going on for, and how old the place is. Wonder what that background’s based off of.”

For context, this is the monitor this whole thing is based on:

I have been way too into timelining UTY for a little while now, and realized— This is the Meadow.

It lines up timeline-wise, as according to Ceroba’s dialogue about Chujin and his garden, The Meadow became the Dunes as Chujin’s health deteriorated. Which means, the Meadow HAD to still be around when Chujin was working for the Steamworks, as that was before his health started to deteriorate.

Anyway. Tldr I just realized this and had to yap

EDIT: after seeing some of the reblogs on this post, please disregard the above bit about Chujin’s health! It’s probably Ceroba making a comparison due to her “it’s similar” comment directly after. I missed this when making my post originally.

THAT BEING SAID, this background of the Meadow on the monitor (which was also confirmed, see reblogs for the clip) can still line up timeline-wise! It just comes from a different quote, talking about how the apple trees outside the Steamworks are blooming, said by one of the robots.

Thanks to @violet111reblog and @guns-blazing for their reblogs, PLEASE READ THEM IF YOU WANT MORE INFO!! They attached the quotes and went into it with a lot more depth. I’m still trying to remember all my lore after not being as involved with UTY for a bit. :)

I was in a bit of an argument with a youtube commenter about the potential for Undertale Yellow to be canon, and the point that originally made me back down was the DT experiments. In the True Lab entries, it is only after the DT experiments go wrong and the Amalgamates are created that Flowey was noticed missing from the garden, having gained sentience and proceeded to experience an infinitely long stretch of saved over time.

After having some time to think about, who is to say the DT experiments happened very recently between Integrity’s fall and Clover’s? All Alphys says in her entries is that the DT was extracted from the human *souls*, plural, meaning there were anywhere between 2 and 6 souls present at the time of the experiment. The youtube commenter was clearly in the mindset of there having been 6 souls present then, though there could’ve feasibly been just the 5 souls present. Combining the DT from all of those souls would far outweigh any monster’s ability and most certainly give one the power to SAVE and LOAD to their heart’s content. Given the interpretation that there were 5 souls present at the time of the DT experiments (after Integrity was handed off to the King after some serum was extracted), and the fact that you can find a flyer calling for fallen down monsters near the Steamworks entrance (I might be wrong on that one, I remember it being mentioned in an interaction sometime after Ceroba mentions that Kanako was sent to the lab), it’s likely that plenty of time has passed between Integrity’s fall and Clover’s fall, and likewise, Frisk’s fall. The argument that Undertale Yellow could not possibly be canon on the basis that Flowey wouldn’t exist in this timeline is simply wrong, as the DT experiments are very clearly discussed far in the past tense, with plenty of time for Flowey to develop his ideas of the world’s nature (not to mention the fact that it would be infinitely longer due to the nature of saving and loading).

Anyways yeah, tl;dr UTY could totally be canon and that one youtuber commenter out there is wrong

[exomechanist-chujin]

hey is that guardner robot in the garden ok? they have been deactivated for quite some time, not to mention it is completely overgrown if the steamworks is the same as i remember it

[stuffyflowers]

as the CEO of the ketsukane's what do you think of some takes of Kanako if she got to grow up normally/deltarune yellow kanako's? I find it a bit lame that a lot of people just turn her into bigger dorkier Ceroba, I think it'd be fun if more people did stuff with her interests in games and just generally her taking more after Chujin since her taking so much after Chujin (being so self sacrificial) is partially what caused her end in UTY. Idk on the deltarune yellow takes I just find it weird to turn her into some sort of shrine maiden when her wanting to be a superhero is right there. And they'd really think she'd wouldn't grow up with a love for tinkering?

tbh I don’t rly see enough grown up kanako centric fanworks to have any comment on the ‘bigger dorkier ceroba’ aspect ngl???+ in general im a lot more interested in how she’d grow up in the canon uty timeline as an amalgamate, and I am not a fan of how ppl erase the opportunity to explore her being one just to make things more ‘feel good’. but okay, hypothetical of her growing up without the incident taking place/deltarune yellow esque au…,

i do agree she’d take more after chujin obviously, tho I think saying her being self sacrificial is taken solely from chujin is a bit inaccurate, id argue both her parents are self sacrificial (ceroba throws her morality and wellbeing out the window just for a chance to make a difference! its not just chujin). The part id say that comes solely from chujin rather than both of her parents is more her interests and skillset, as u mentioned a bit with the video game he made for her. (and cerobas description of her also leaning towards her being more like chujin ofc)

on that note, i quite like the idea of her getting into robotics! i feel she would find much more success in it than chujin did... not to say there wasn't any passion behind the axis project, but at that point chujins priority had shifted more towards his overambitious goal of protecting the underground from a seemingly imminent threat. the fact that he was clearly less inclined to this line of work than his peers did not and could not stop him. meanwhile i feel like kanako would have a more genuine pull towards robotics, the opportunity to create life out of metal and magic would fascinate her. two of her greatest strengths seem to be her creativity and her intellect, which would mix perfectly in this role.

she would love the opportunity to create something that could help others, especially. another defining trait of hers is how driven she is by a desire to make things right and help others: willingly taking part in chujins experiments shows her love not only for her family, but for all of monsterkind (+getting very tunnel-visioned w the idea of being their 'hero,' title soaked in blood etc etc), and the lengths she is willing to go to show this. obviously making helper bots would be a much healthier outlet for this trait than letting herself get injected with a dangerous serum, lol!

as for the kind of robots she would make, i could see her starting off pretty simple with a bot to help her family out w/ everyday duties, maybe a gardener bot to tend to chujin's garden? as she gets more confident in her abilities, she grows more ambitious, creating bots w much higher capabilities. Though her favourite part always remains giving them their own distinct personalities and forming bonds with them, treating them like family (just as I like to believe she would have done with axis if given the opportunity… kanako and axis friendship is real 2 ME!!!! I could go (and I have b4 lol) on a whole other rant abt how ceroba treats the steamworks robots and how chujin abandons axis once he’s ‘dangerous’, and how this contrasts to kanakos drawing of axis, depicting him exactly as she would in a drawing of a friend to hang on her wall. She would love all robots unconditionallyyyyyy okay)

uh fuck how do I conclude this.. um accept robotics nerd kanako into yuor hearts. that is all👍

My live Undertale Yellow reactions - Steamworks Edition

This music is banging

The way this random beef jerky from a washing machine is probably more safe to consume than half the items in the original game is wild

Yeah that randomly broken door surely won't come back to haunt us later

I don't trust these random-ass flowers

"Hey when did you last time bathe?" "I fell into a puddle" "Eh good enough" WHEEZE-

*Shadow moving in the background* I SAW THAT!

Oh great, robots. When are we running into the Allied models?

"My vocabulary is not expansive, ma'am"

The emotionless fall always gets me

*Building the robot* Can we make a duck?

Cool, I died to the first enemy of the area

My 0 sense of irl directions certainly isn't helping here

MO! MY MAN!

I love how you get special dialogue if you empty out his inventory every time

This random ass speaking broom of all things in this game is somehow the thing that caught me off guard

It's giving FNAF

"Robots cannot cry. I tried." Oh, yikes

*Cerona reflects the attack* Get fucked

THE WAY HE ROLLS AWAY

This game is going to ruin me emotionally ain't it?

*Talking to the Vending Machine* You want me to unplug you, motherfucker?

All these dialogues about Kanako just fill me with dread about the upcoming inevitable heartbreak

Oh that's a lot of white stuff

*Post Gardener* Why am I almost crying over this robot

*After beating Macro Froggit* I have conquered the frog

[fantasticalbiology]

Duotale Red and Yellow

So au idea based on my UT Cyan & Orange post. The cast of the original undertale working or living along side the cast of yellow at the same time.

Frisk is Clover's deputy and their on a mission to find the other humans.

Toriel going down to the lower ruins to be neighborly with Dalv and them fighting together (not shipping them by the by)

Marlet working with Sans and Papyrus. In Neutral/Pacifist she fights alongside Papyrus and in genocide she fights alongside Sans

Chujin being Alphys' assistant or vice versa and hotland being filled not just with the usual suspect but also a few of the steamwork's robots.

Axis and Gardener can be Mettaton's killer costars and when its time to be ex or Neo they get new forms as well

Starlo working along side Undyne. In pacifist Starlo fights along side Undyne and in genocide Ceroba fights along side Undyne the undying

Ed fighting alongside greater dog

Mooch fighting over whose cooler with Monster Kid

Moray and Ace fighting alongside Mad Mew Mew for some reason I haven't figured out

The only duo I can't think of for is Asgore and Flowey/Asriel, but I think it's fine for Asgore as it makes him more intimidating. I mean for Asriel we could have twins god of hyperdeath with Kanako, but how do you spin that

[master-of-the-railway]

Oh my God I'm so sorry I didn't see your post before now, I hope you're feeling safer and more cheered up now-

If not, would a poem about Hiro help?

Growth is not

Something new.

It is as old as time

Or even older-

Some things started

Growing all the way

Back when,

And are still

Growing now

Hiro is no stranger

To growing things.

Little things,

Turning

Slightly less little

And slowly becoming

Bigger.

Thin vines

Used to grow

Through the

Spokes

On his wheels,

And moss patches would

Spread

Over the rust,

A living bandage

Over what does not

Organically heal

Before he was

Found,

He used to

Check on the little vine

Winding up

Around

His buffers-

How green it's leaves were,

How much taller it was

From yesterday.

Did last night's rains

Give it the

Water it needed?

Did bugs come

And chew away

At the leaves?

He can't garden it

Like a human might,

But he can watch

And wonder quietly

What it's like to grow.

And then,

Things change.

A small blue puff

Arrives,

Crashing

Through the silence.

The quiet is

No longer

Quite so empty.

And the blue engine,

Thomas,

Promises

To restore Hiro

To his former glory,

Promises to make him

"Master of the Railway

Once again!"

He comes back,

Again

And again,

With parts

For Hiro.

The plants around him

Are cleared away,

All but the vine

Around his buffers,

Which he insists

For it to stay

Until the very end.

When Thomas

Cannot come by,

His friends do

Instead,

And Hiro is never alone

For long.

Day by day,

His damaged parts

Are replaced

Or repaired

Until finally

Only one part

Is left to come.

But there is no time

To wait for it,

No time

To be patient.

Spencer comes

Close,

Too close,

And Thomas urges

Hiro to run

With him

Away from Spencer.

And so Hiro

Must steam

To follow Thomas.

But to move

Would damage

The little vine.

There is no time

To ask Thomas's

Crew to gently

Unwind it,

So break it

He must.

Moving forward

Stretches it taught-

Anchored

In the ground

And around his buffer,

It is strong

But he pulls

And breaks the vine

With simple ease-

A vine versus

A locomotive

Holds no chance,

In the end.

And Hiro chases

Away from Spencer,

Only it is in vain

In the end,

And he catches up

Anyway when

Hiro breaks down

Like he had

Broken the vine.

But for him,

He can be fixed.

He is taken

To the Steamworks,

Where he meets

Victor and Kevin,

Who,

With reassuring words,

Ease Hiro's worry.

He is safe.

He will be fixed.

And he will

Be Master of the Railway

Again.

His new friends

Are waiting

Outside the works

To see him emerge,

Feeling new in his

Glossy black paint,

Shining gold lining,

And bright red wheels.

Thomas had kept

His promise,

But he hadn't

Done it alone.

Spencer,

Stuck in the marsh,

Is rescued by Hiro,

And that is

Only the start

Of how useful

The Master of the Railway

Grows to be again,

In this new

Chapter of his life.

He goes and grows

And has grown,

From a young,

Energetic new-build

To far older

But still strong,

Still capable

Of seeing the world

With eyes that see

The wonder

In things.

He sees

The quiet beauty

Of natural places now,

Too,

Where the bustle of

Towns and

Well-used rails

Is just a faint whisper

In the breeze.

He's just not sure

If he can visit

These quiet places

Alone,

Quite yet,

But he does

Like to pass through

And see

What's grown

Since his last visit.

Undertale Yellow playthrough update as requested by Anon (spoilers below)

Steamworks: completed. I got past the Gardener and discovered more of Ceroba's past (Alphys, you job stealing fraud!). Axis was nearly impossible to for me to get past, I feel like I died at least 5 times to him. Fortunately, I completed the scarf quest while I was at Snowdin. So once I found out you could swap armor mid-fight, AND figured out how Axis's charged ball was basically a free turn, it was mostly smooth sailing from then on out.

Below: a sketch of the robot I made for Axis. Considering that over half the items I chose were by complete accident, I feel it came out good enough.

Ketsukane Estate: in progress? So I've seen Chujin's tapes now, and it's all but confirmed now that Kanako is now an amalgamate in Alphys's lab (Ceroba's gonna kill her when she finds out). I found another tape behind Chujin's grave which revealed that Axis killed the last human, and after fighting him, I believe it.

I lacked the funds to buy the Deltarune Patch, and I am currently stuck on Ceroba's first few attacks, HELP!!!

Ever seen a guard gardener

"Ribbit ribbit! (Steamworks liver!)"

[deceiverdalv]

A gift arrived, Who sent this? What might It be?

Letter reads:

"..Dear Dalv,

I've been quite busy, too busy. Planning somethin' for..well, I won't say it. How's It goin'? How's Pops? I did have one of these for ya, back somewhere. I often use It but I got all the newer stuff for ya. Even improved the machine!

I have been anxious about sending another letter after soo long, but, I finally did it. To be honest..I missed sending and recieving your letters. That was cheesy, right? Too cheesy..

I hope ya like It, it's of your favourite colour. Also..I found this..I spoke to ya about the..type of garden we have in the Steamwork, right? I found a lavander growing there and..thought of giving It to ya.

Missed ya,

-Starlo"

(the gift was a sewing machine and some other sewing materials, the name Dalv written on the top of it.)

✩ ─── 「༻ ☪ ༺」─── ✩

We got it working! Although for future reference, your instruction manuals for putting machines together are not the best. Do you write with your opposite hand or something? We'll need to work on your handwriting for your next visit. Kidding, Kidding! Like usual. .. Pops did most of the thinking for me and managed to put it together with ease. Though do your friend a favor and maybe send it without any assembly required? Though knowing the state of UGPS these days, that's only wishful thinking. I don't even leave the Ruins and even I know about the tragic state of the underground's package transportation system. You don't need to be anxious about sending letters, Star. If it's your handwriting that's making you anxious, then that's fair, I'd be anxious too if I wrote like you did. -Kidding! That was the last one, I promise. .. I saw Pops give himself some safety glasses with marker yesterday.. I swear to the angels, Which each time you visit I feel as if he's getting even more geekier by the second. Eventually he might even surpass you.. and I didn't even know that was possible! Oh, who am I to judge? I play stringed instruments for a literal living.

Maybe the flowers will convince Pops to be a gardener instead. .. Your favorite artist,
