#Toontale

[justali-anne]

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!

More Dolly and Daniel stuff!!

(And Yakko! Fun fact: Dolly and Daniel were originally Animaniacs ocs)

February Monthly Archive/ March Update

February was a rough month for my mental health, but hey, I still haven't missed a week of writing, sooooo...upside! In all seriousness, keeping up with this challenge felt like a real chore this month, and aside from maybe two stories, I don't feel like I put my best work out there. Not to mention almost missing a week and only posting on my Tumblr account and not Twitter or Reddit.

Shameless plug aside, I'm still holding on two months in, pretty proud of that. Wrote some longer stories than usual and they turned out okay. Plus, I'm doing more planning when it comes to my stories and how I want to tell them. I think I'm building a good system for myself.

Anyway, for March, I plan to vary up the prompts and try to branch out a bit in terms of genre. Here's hoping for a little more than the bare minimum.

Hi, Hola, Ni hao, and Hello! I'm ToonMan & welcome to my page. I hope you're having a wonderful Day/ Afternoon/ Night.

So, if you're here you're probably interested in what I do (or you're here because of my Megamind/ Miraculous Ladybug post that's still getting likes as of 01/31/2024).

I write, I graphic art, and I spew 1/2 baked ideas and headcanons every so often.

As of this year, I created a blog to archive my stories so as to not bog down my main page. So check out @talltoontales if you're looking for something to read, and don't be afraid to leave a comment, critique, or correction, all are appreciated.

Aaaaaand that's it. Thanks for passing by and I hope you saw something you liked.

Stay safe, drink plenty of water, and be kind to yourself & others.

ToonMan, AWAY!

Extremely scuffed drawing of an idea that came to mind (I am definitely not the first person to think of this)

Toontale's? equivalent to a Genocide Route would be using the ACT button to appeal to the evil colonialist Cogs and betraying your fellow Toons. You'd lose the ability to cooperate with other Toons in battle as well as lose your GAGS button and your laff meter, but you would gain other BAD stuff in return

Toontale: Genocide route💔

Inspired by @mickedy (love your work🫶🏻🫶🏻)

Sensorytale

Because i was bored ;)

here’s my snas :3

i’ve only had my sans for about a week, but if anything happens to him i will kill everybody in this room and then myself.

hhhhh okay. i know i should be working on Toontale and Nevertale but i had a random idea ._.

in this AU, sans has extreme sensory issues. he will avoid new textures at all costs and rarely goes out in public because of this.

He dreads it when Papyrus forces him to shop for new clothing (too many icky, unknown textures).

i won’t spill too much, though!

[fairydraws04]

Woahhhh ohhh ohhh ohhhh story of toontale

(My club name in clash is story of toontale and if you want to join we are always open to new members joining!!)

[genericnam]

A drawing of every Sans/Sans standin I could think of that I did two years ago. There are others I know about, but they either didn't change enough or I didn't know when I made this.

From Top Left to Bottom Right (I don'tknow all of their fanon names):

Nightmare Sans, Reaper/Death Sans, shoryshift Sans, Ultra Sans, Winged Sans, Amongus Sans, Dust Sans, Human Sans, Toontale Pikachu, Asylumtale Sans, Cross Sans, Error 404 Sans, Possessiontale Sans & Flowey, Killer Sans, Pirate Sans, Baby Sans, Pokemon Trainer Sans, Science Sans, Undertoad Mario, Bittie Fell, Bittie Classic, Bittie Swap, Snas, Fellswap Papyrus, Outertale Sans, Fresh Sans, Horror Sans, Mafiatale Sans, Altartale Toriel, Gaster Sans, Littletale Sans, Storyshift Chara, Ink Sans, Underswap Sans, Classic Sans, Underfell Sans, Error Sans, Geno Sans, Underswap Papyrus, Dream Sans

That adds up to a total of: 40 sans'!

[a-weird-pokemon-family]

No matter how many times I see the sprites for Rewind/Toontale, I stim because I get so happy

[ocs-and-musings]

Eee, finally getting around to drawing this boi!

-- Sans from a verse called “ToonTale”

-- Mute, uses actions and sound effects to convey thoughts/etc.

-- Loves magic tricks like the infinite handkerchief and pulling large items from his comically small hat

-- Rubberhose animation

Design is an adopt I purchased by https://www.deviantart.com/zykorii back in 2018. Finally have to time to work on this lad/AU concept!

NOBODY ASKED FOR MORE MAGICIAN OC CHILDREN BUT OH WELL

OKAY GOODBYE

Fun Fact About Me: I love TV! Live action, animated, drama (to an extent), horror, you name it.

I even try to write as if I'm watching it on a screen.

While I don't plan on making a career out of my writing, I dream of the day when I have my own show—something that kids and adults alike will look back on and say, "He gets it."

So, I made this logo...

[janethepegasus]

Found this sketch of an older version of Toontale (an old AU I made a while back) and I pretty much made a reference to that weird bootleg toy for one of the Amalgamates

Ya know, this thing

[kaboomcookie]

More Toontale Stuff

I thought of m o r e things so I’m just gonna drop these here. They’re kinda random but I deemed them necessary to post.

• Gelatoni uses his paintbrush tail to fight by coating it in paint thinner, which is harmful to toons (but not to him, since he is a hybrid).

• Pluto very clearly looks like a stuffed dog, with visible stitches.

• Oswald carries a lantern, because the Wasteland is rather dark. He also repairs and upgrades all of the puzzles in the Wasteland.

• Instead of butterscotch-cinnamon pie, Oswald makes carrot-chocolate cake.

• Oswald is a firm believer in tough love, but he is very worried about Gelatoni and softens up pretty quickly around him. However, during their battle, he makes Gelatoni fight him in the dark.

• The spiders, both in the Ruins and Hotland, are replaced with ducklings. These ducklings are part of a large family of tiny ducks that Scrooge has saved multiple times. They were indebted to him, and offered to be servants of his. Though he accepted, he treats them more like family. Scrooge is trying to rescue the ducklings stuck in the Wasteland by selling Duckling Dumplings and Canard Cocoa.

• Scrooge’s version of Muffet’s giant spider is a supersized version of his pet flea, Baron Itzy Bitzy.

• Gelatoni is not a silent protagonist; he is very kind and innocent, unless possessed by Duffy (in which case he becomes very cruel and apathetic, seeking only power).

• Bendy doesn't really care for puns, but he does make silly jokes and play pranks. Like Sans, he still runs a hot dog stand, and can still "teleport" around the underground.

• Instead of spaghetti, Boris is very fond of sandwiches. He likes pretty much any kind of sandwich, so he leaves many different kinds as a trap for Gelatoni.

• Della runs the Caved Inn (nobody but her finds this funny) in Rainbow Town, and Donald runs the shop. Huey, Dewey, and Louie frequently assist at both.

• Scrooge and Ludwig were once very close, until Ludwig passed away inside the incomplete Ink Machine.

• Cuphead uses a multitude of bullets and lasers to attack in place of spears. While Mugman can do the same thing, he doesn't fight very much and sticks to science.

• Mugman is a huge fan of an anime called "SuperSweet Adventures in Sugarland", and particularly the [kawaii sparkle uwu magical girl sugoi] protagonist, Baroness Von Bon Bon.

• Alex is Felix and Julius's hotheaded cousin who picks a fight with Gelatoni just because he can, until Julius steps in and demands that he stop.

• It's a mystery as to how Cuphead managed to burn his house down making sandwiches of all things. Not even Gelatoni is sure of how it happened.

• Felix isn't a robot; he's just imbued with a lot of magic that gives him "context-sensitive" powers. He starts off using the Magic Bag of Tricks as a weapon, but later fuses with it.

• Julius is Felix's younger brother. They grew apart after Felix became famous, so now Julius just makes music (probably electro swing) and keeps to himself.

• If Gelatoni goes Genocide, Bendy gives him a bad time using ink and creatures made of ink.

• Instead of a trident, Mickey uses the keyblade.

• Photoshop Pluto is the worst thing ever and I mean that.

There might be more stuff of this caliber in the future who knows
