#Trying something new for Alphys design

[deltaswapjevil]

Fish

Finally found my sketchbook

So I made these goobers for gay month

[boynachi]

*you point to a drawing of everyman, saying "thats literally you as a baby bro"

bonus doodles of me trying to familiarize myself with berdly and, accidentally, alphys' designs

whenever i try to learn a new character it always starts off as garbled nonsense that doesnt even attempt to be a faithful replica of the character im drawing, like a newborn drawing scribbles and playing with blocks, and as i get more and more familiar with the shapes, ideas, geometry, etc, they start to become something more recognizable, while still holding many almost vestigal aspects from the old abstract design, me trying to draw berdly made this thought come to mind

[teethmongerrr]

Helloooo!!! The ask about tenna's history with the dreemurrs made me realize: what's mettatons whole deal and/or backstory? Like we don't have the ghost or the robot body stuff with him, so how does he meet alphys? Are we keeping the whole dysphoria and 'not having the right body'? (beams him with my transgender ray.) What's his relationship with his family like? sorry if this is unorganized, didn't really know how to word this one, keep up the amazing work!!!! I'm loving everything about this au!! :3

No apologies required this is good..

AND OF COURSE HES TRANSGENDER‼️‼️‼️

I would never take his transmasculine swag from him that’s sacrilege… important…

BUT ANYWAY LOL. He had agoraphobia inducing levels of dysphoria pre-transition ( though , I don’t think that level of dysphoria just goes away completely post transition. He’s way better now but it still bites him sometimes) but I think he’d go out every once and a while (accompanied by Napstablook typically)

I Like to imagine him and Alphys had a sort of a platonic meet-cute in a video rental store. Like going for the same movie when there’s only one left or something tee hee. And they end up watching it together at Mettaton’s and forming a pseudo human fan club (more of a film/show Fanclub. They watch movies and tv together idk LOL)

I struggle making an equivalent to her LITTERALLY designing and making his body… but the idea that she just drew him as an anime boy once or something and then he had a moment like… wait… what if I did that…. And she tells him it’s possible. Like…. What if her support alone builds him the same way. Guys. Is this thing on. Guys. Gripping the mic. Guys.

As for his relationship with his family, I can only really. Imagine him living with his cousins.. and I think the three of them had been living together for a while. (I don’t know where the parents are it’s one of those things I’ll have to think about) but I think that Napstablook is a bit older and was Mettaton and Mew Mew’s legal guardian for most of their tweenage - early adulthood years.

And Napstablook does their best obviously but being a sensitive pushover (no offense) and pretty young to be taking care of the two of them adds some struggle.

I think Mettaton, very opposite to how he lives his life now, spent a lot of his childhood trying his best to be easy to manage. forgettable.

There was a big strain in his relationship with his family that was nobody’s fault in particular. Suffocating himself out of pure habit, on a long term corked spiral until he met Alphys and he knew he had to change or die. The massively built fear of the feelings of it all making him feel like the only option was to vanish and come back someone else.

Currently he has come back that new person and told them everything and apologized. Mew mew still gets bitter but over all forgives him and Napstablook is very understanding and is more so sad that they couldn’t figure out how to reach out to him before he left.

YA! Hope this answers your question….

[avianoutcast]

Bruh! I've been thinking of this like a whole week or more and i wanna ask about it does this have a meaning of this?... 👀👀👀

Cuz u know Ace card 👉👈 ik this is a stupid question hehe sorry ^^;

Oohh (don't worry you're alright ^_^ I guess she does have traits of an asexual or demi-sexual tho X33)

But the true explanation to this, I actually just wanted to use the 'playing cards theme' for my valentine special cuz I wanted to try designing formal and elegant attires tbh shsbshsb X33.

As for the symbolism for Avia holding all the ace cards, it actually meant that she holds the most power over all. Since when you usually play cards, the highest card than the king and queen would be the 'Ace' cards.

Outcast - Ace of Spades (represents power and also known as the 'Death Card')

Promise Gaster - Ace of Diamonds (represents something new or prosperity)

Paps - Ace of Clubs (lucky and powerful)

Alphys - Ace of Hearts (love and compassion)

And since Avia is holding all the ace cards, it means she has the most power over all and in gaming standards it means....

She wins the game no matter what.

...and yes, I kind of inspired Avia's outfit from Phrolova (WuWa) XDDDD 💜✨✨✨ (she's just soo prettyy zjsbdjsb)

(Note: I'm not too sure about the symbolisms of the cards TwT. I'm just basing these from what I've searched so far shsbshs)

[eriscary]

Sorry, but can I ask this question? How do you imagine fell and swap options/versions of tear sans? (swap version of tear sans is not Napstablook! but his cousin Mettaton! Mettablook? Hutstablook or whatever?)

Oh wow. Tear variant/different AU questions already? Consider my answer a headcanon, as I'm not gonna be creating and developing these AUs.

Fell Tear loathes Sans, because canon UF!Blooky loathes anyone affiliated with Asgore/Alphys. But in reality it's somewhat of a love-hate situation. Sans has qualities UF!Tear finds themselves respecting and admiring, but they can't help but hate the guy regardless for the side he found himself on. They pretty much become a Sans to show they can do everything better, while trying to gain said qualities themselves. The biggest one being how Fell Sans gets general respect from monsters. Monsters just avoid ever messing with the skeleton brothers. UF!Tear could be a little jealous that a part of it feels handed over, just because of who their brother is. Even though realistically, Sans had to work for it too. UF!Tear also respects Sanses visual 'scare factor'. Underfell is all about looking edgy and more intimidating than Undertale cast. I imagine that UF!Tear design would likely wear some torn jacket (like their blooky body sheet). It used to be this brand new looking jacket. It ends up badly torn in places from magic attacks in UF!Tear's attempts of 'getting respect'. But because of how painfully honest they are about their opinions and not keeping it to themselves, they end up hurting others. It results in a bunch of fights. They are surprisingly not that bad of a person despite it all, as long as you aren't on their bad side. Might still say some hurtful things to you though.

Swap Tear/Mettaton Tear would just have to be something about entertainment. In Undertale, just like Tear did, Mettaton already acts on their greatest wish. They want to be a celebrity, known in the entertainment industry. Maybe Swap Tear gets their body for the same reasons the game Mettaton got his. Maybe they are in the stage of just deciding to act on their goals and they see this tiny skeleton with oh so much energy. And every time chasing their dream gets hard, they remember Sans powering through everything. And it fuels them to always strive for more, always try that much harder. They need to work harder to become a popular entertainer. And that means they need to pass the barrier to get even humans to watch them. Swap Tear needs to be 'the best of both worlds' to achieve true greatness. But they also wanna be acknowledged and liked by Sans. And what is the closest, not-craftable, monster body to resemble a human? a skeleton. And who are they trying to impress the most? a skeleton. Probably fights the other 'mettaton' on the popularity leaderboards.

Spirittake concept art and more (character specific) lore!

I’m probably going to change their design 50 more times before I’m happy with them but here’s the ones I’ve made so far!

Eyes/Flowey is the only character that’s outwardly insane. The other monsters will try to hide the worst of it, but most know it’s obvious enough not to lie about. Regardless, Flowey judges them for their manipulation. “Your best and only real friend down here”, he’d say, because he’s the only one true to you.

A little dialogue Flowey would probably say is along the lines of,

“After a certain point of it always being something new, it stops being interesting and starts getting concerning. When there’s no way to tell time, it feels like infinity, and the effects of infinity begin happening. Anything and everything possibly, with no exceptions. And let’s just say, everyone down here has a pretty fucked mind when push comes to shove.”

Papyrus is still the light of the underground and remains very loved. Mainly, he is more nervous. Still extremely outgoing and extroverted, but more unsure of himself and shuts himself in a lot. Has a hard time maintaining friendships. While his shadow didn’t fully take over, unlike everyone else (except for Flowey, due to him not having a soul), he is not all there. Hallucinates (is it really a hallucination?) Sans sometimes, he is in strong denial and still cooks for Sans. He makes him a plate out of a habit that he doesn’t want to break. He spends a lot of days with Undyne and Alphys, who try to be there for him despite their growing psychosis.

Alphys has a round glasses with one broken lens and a long, fluffy lab coat that’s probably either electric heated or lined with hot hands hand warmers. I haven’t thought of designs for Papyrus and Undyne yet, but I’m thinking longer, lined gloves for Papyrus, and he dorns his brothers hoodie around his neck.

Alphys’ intention is only to find a way to manage the core again without fully shutting it down. Instead of a shy stutter, she is in a near constant state of cold. She’s not freezing, but definitely shivering most of the time. All of her experiments go towards stabilising the core.

“If o-only that lava was safe enough to use for warmth. It’s s-so concentrated in p-power, it’s more d-dangerous than the core itself at f-full capacity, and that’s precisely w-why any human s-soul to fall down here will be used to p-power the core, before we can even t-think about getting to the surface.”

Next post will be about each of the areas climates!

Hii, how are you?

Here I bring some old drawings I drew last year of Mars.

These were his first designs, he was trying to create a y2k style alien, 2 things I like very much.

Currently his design I adapted it more to the icy snowding weather.., or rather the Au.

★WARNING LORE★

In short, Mars is a Constellation, hence the old Au name.

I was guided by a constellation that existed in a non-"legal" form which according to its creator was in the shape of a cat, I call this one "felix".

When I read some of the history of this constellation, it occurred to me to try to include it as part of the script.

Gaster, in my Au, is the father of Papyrus and Chara.

He created Chara from a meteorite that fell near his house, he tried to recreate the "human" form that he longed to meet.

Seeing that it had been a success, he adopted it.

Although he was fine up to that point, one day Gaster, while in his study, discovered that on the "star map" there were a series of stars that looked like a cat when put together.

This confused the astrologer who had no idea of the existence of more constellations..., so he became obsessed with the idea of "creating" a new one.

After 2 years, felix, or as Gaster calls it "cosmos", was "born".

He hid him from the others and raised him in his laboratory, in order to create a body for him and thus be able to capture the new constellation on his map.

Even so, he could not get the king to make this constellation approved.

Leaving "felix" as a constellation.... But at the same time no.

When gaster died, anything referring to "felix" was completely removed from the map.

It was not approved because of lack of time not enough data.

Even so, before he died Gaster compressed Cosmos and kept it in a small capsule,

There were the designs that he had planned to create his body, but that he could not finish because of his illness.

Years later, Alphys entered the laboratory of his former boss (Gaster) and there, among the dust and dirt accumulated over the years, he found the small capsule. It had a name but the ink had been erased, like half of the drawings that only arms or an eye could be seen.

Alphys, after a few months, discovered that it was a non-existent constellation, but it was still alive.

This one, I tried to put the drawings together and with that I tried to reference to create the body of the compressed star.

And nothing, something like that is my Au.

Cosmos=Mars, as they didn't know its name and in the drawings alphys confused something else with alien antennas, he decided to call it "mars" which looked nice.

His design changed after 5 years, where alphys designed a better and more suitable for the cold temperatures of that place, besides removing the star-shaped pupils, to make it more "alien".

Also, he was guided by looking at the designs of the sanses of the other Au's, trying to copy that skeletal shape like Papyrus.

Hey! I'm a little confused here, what exactly is the difference between Lusttale and Underlust?

I know you said it's a revamp of sorts but I'm just genuinely confused on what the differences are.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, what exactly are the icks you have with Underlust that originally made you want to redo this AU? I've only ever really seen either the decent aspects of it or the fanon versions so I don't really know most of people's issues apart from the... Weird thing about Chara being in.. That kinda clothing.

Heyy! Ill try to explain :3 <3

Differences i wanted were these:

- Make the storyline more fluid and organized, idk felt like the og story rushed through to try and reach certain parts sooner

- Flesh out characters past the sexual deviant who have random, often uncalled for bursts of angst ( or just have ZERO self control )

- I tried to make some characters make better sense. Example, Chara and their trait/design, the reason for Frisk even going, ect - Give background characters a chance to be shown, not saying the WHOLE au with EVERY monster has to be designed, but its atleast nice and feels more detailed ( even Jerry eyeroll )

^ The AU also switched between being owned by the creator, to the creators mutual ( iirc ), to then being a community owned AU since the OG owner left it for mental health reasons. I originally wanted to continue the story, but rebuilding characters in a way it still resembles the original story with a few kind of tweaks helps it feel new, think like Ink Sans's redesign!

These were icks:

- Some characters had almost nothing fleshed out abt them, i totally understand why some dont (hard to flesh out a entire cast, some characters dont give enough to build off of, ect) but its personality stumping if the character is only shown for a sex joke or be background characters to another angst, example Alphys, shown very little unless to comment on MTT's body, or to be the one to help him (MTT one IS important but after that i barely remember her character outside that..) - I know that separating creator from creation is best way to go about some things, though knowing that they heavily shipped Fontcest (which their own AU was prone to have) and had done nsfw Frans art is gross enough for me to wanna not engage with the original au (small non UL related was a Nazi Chara they drew once, shockvalue humor or not why would you?)

- MTT's plot. I really hate how it went. Its not something im gonna remove, but its something i wanna try and do in a way that doesnt feel so abrupt yk? If that makes sense :,D

Other then the few points i can really give, i also just thought it would be nice to give UL a fresh coat of paint. Not like "i took things into my own hands", but just "this made me and alot uncomfortable, the AU is kinda just sitting there, lets try it " !

[maiuoart]

The mental story that keeps popping up for Swapfell Past is when Black and Alphy are both still tiny lil'tots and just learning lots of things...

Cue Papyrus is starting to hang out with a really bad influenced friend; Said friend comes over, Papyrus has to watch the kids and the friend starts teaching them curse words. Alphy's smart enough to give him glares and ignore him- Black, not so much...

In fact, with the intentions and the fact any negative feels are what Black was designed for to do; He craves it... Reason why he has such a bad baby/toddler stage. So, like to think his cursing habit at such a young age started with that bad friend and...

I got the image of Papyrus legit trying to get his new friend to stop; Said friend says 'fuck off' or something, lil'Black copies said friend; big Daddy Li comes in, just catching that last sentence and he is pissed...

I see Papyrus like 'oh shit' and friend goes; 'oh, mega shit... uh, ima head out?' And maybe something that makes both boys run. Papyrus trips over his own feet and he's like; 'why am i runnin'?! i can port--' and friend latches onto him like 'then fuckin' port us!!' and Pap's like; 'no!! get off, it doesn't work like tha'!' Or something, when really he's not strong enough to do two people, lolol.

Idk, this has just been on my brain for a while now and I keep chuckling. Maybe if Papyrus and friend started doing drugs together in their house, then maybe... So much going on in my brain, man.

Alterspin take stuff

hey all scottme here

anyways a little under a year ago i made designs for an alterspin take and the designs sucked balls so i wanted to change that character personalities below

character idea for my alterspin might change some of these at some point:

papyrus: a washed up has been who never got into the royal guard but does merc missions for them regardless.

sans is sans he doesn't take anything seriously wears a robe around town has a stain on his fairly nice shirt that is heavily beaten up

chara concept for design and personality: to have a machine that resembles porkey's design from mother 3, plays to be more sadistic than undertale's mettaton but really doesn't actually care that much about the conflit between humans and monsters only wanting to support themself and maddie (yes the mad dummy is still in alphys's role because it's funny)

EDIT: potential chara redesign:

more character stuff: asgore and toriel:

toriel renamed to tori was the first human to fall into the underground and met asgore when they were young, over time the two fell in love and eventually got married but their honeymoon was abruptly cut short when asgore taking care of kingly duties gets the horrifying news that the royal guard has found a human and seized their soul. in a fit of rage he attacks every single member of the guard nearly killing them all only being stopped by gerson the then captain of the guard. the guard in a panic decided that gerson would become ruler until they could find a better leader and covered up the kings death in order to not lose hope or have people look down upon his legacy claiming the human was violent and killed the guard members and their king...

many years later, when undyne had become the ruler of the underground and gerson was a person of the past the current royal scientist a ghost inhabiting a dummy was doing experiments with determination and, in order to try and get with the semi recent divorcé undyne tried making her something special a flower arrangement using the golden flowers from her garden and use determination on the flowers to see what would happen and give it to her as a gift...

however, the experiment worked a bit too well and the flowers were all gone.

[moonfurthetemmie]

Hi. I copy + pasted this stuff from my notes, except for the visual design notes bc i made it make more sense on Discord

Carnelian: Jasper but he’s closer to canon Horror. And he gets brought onto Obsidian’s team

Canon Horror

- Starving everyone out of pure spite (Undyne and Alphys tried to use his eye to power a machine that would’ve saved everyone)

- This is done by freezing and hiding a shit-ton of food

- Refuses to eat (usually)

- Will still attack humans to eat them (or parts of them) when he’s hungry enough

- Snowdin is slowly turning into a town of human-eaters

- “Eating humans is immoral” + “I’m not going to help with a machine thing that would make it so we don’t have to eat humans” (hypocrite)

- Weak as shit tho

If it’s just this guy:

Obsidian thinks this guy is a hypocrite and an asshole. He’s also quite weak from hunger.

But damn if Obsidian isn’t intrigued. Carnelian is obviously quite clever if he can figure out how to single-handedly starve the entire Underground.

So he finds some good blackmail, drags Carnelian back to the manor, and shows him to his new room. And very cheerfully tells him that any attempts to harm anyone else in the manor will result in his carcass being tossed back into his AU for his neighbors to eat.

Jade is prohibited from interacting with him and Obsidian makes it very, very clear that it’s for Jade’s own safety

If we got Jasper already:

Ain’t nobody ready for this bitch. He nearly kills some of the team because they weren’t expecting to find an alternate of Jasper, and certainly not a malevolent, dangerous one. But they’re used to life or death shit, and he’s weak from starvation, so they deal with him easily.

Obsidian, suspicious why they’d been taking so long, comes to see what the hell they’re up to.

He has the same thought process he would if it was just Carnelian, but there’s an additional level of curiosity because they have Jasper.

They bring him back to the manor and Obsidian personally escorts him to the kitchen with Jasper. Mainly to make sure Carnelian won’t try to kill Jasper, but also just because he wants to see how they react to each other.

He’s like “hey. Jasper. We got a new guy. Get him some food.”

And Jasper turns and just

Stares

And Carnelian stares back

“,,,uh???”

“who the hell is that”

Obsidian is snickering

Jasper’s afraid he’s going to be replaced, which probably means he’s going to die, but the new guy. is weird. Jasper doesn’t like him. He don’t like him at all. Especially when Obsidian says Carnelian’s going to be part of the team, if he can start eating and is smart enough not to try to fight back.

It takes a lot to get him to eat, but Jasper can see that Carnelian is literally starving and needs to eat. So he’s not letting him go until he eats something.

He’s forgotten Obsidian’s there entirely, he just can’t let the dude starve.

Eventually Carnelian relents and lets Jasper make him something. He doesn’t care what. He seems uninterested.

But he glanced over at Obsidian, scowls, and takes a bite. And then the whole plate is gone. Ate all of it.

Jasper’s unusually smug about this. that’s right bitch you just try to resist when you got good food in front of you.

Obsidian is satisfied.

Jade does not like it when he’s told he can’t talk to the new guy. Especially when he sees him. He looks like Jasper, but also he doesn’t, and it’s giving him that uncanny valley feeling, and he does not want to find out what obsidian meant by ‘it’s for your own safety’

In both cases:

Someone’s going to have to keep an eye on Carnelian. And Obsidian’s going to make sure he knows why. Also if Carnelian can Not Fuck With Anyone In The Manor, he can be allowed to free roam.

Carnelian has a perpetual scowl for the first few weeks, if not months. He’s so mad. He knows no one else wants to be here either but he doesn’t care. he refuses to talk to anyone except Obsidian (out of fear) and, if applicable, Jasper (because he won’t leave Carnelian the hell alone!!!! Trying to get him to eat three full meals a day!!! CEASE)

Obsidian’s going to have to figure out who the best chaperone(s) would be.

Zircon is Most Trusted.

Koroit would be able to restrain Carnelian immediately if he tried something.

Silver and Paraiba are always together so they certainly wouldn’t be a bad choice.

Aaand here he is

- Scrap axe made of whatever material he could scrounge up

- he's boney as hell because of starvation and how long he's been going like this, though his jacket hides a fair bit of it

- whoa he's got snow boots. it's almost like he's worried about freezing in Snowdin.........

- Still missing an eye (which will be it's own essay)

- many scars, especially around the missing eye, but around around wrists, forearms, ankles, calves, and one around his torso.

- some of the eye socket itself was damaged when his eye was removed, and it hasn't healed very well since he hasn't been eating, but clearly he's not dead. so.

And here’s our TW for eye trauma

In Carnelian’s universe, there were no monsters. Just magic-using humans, who were sealed underground by the non-magical humans. I stole this from a really old-ass AU I made, because it was convenient. And also u can say shit like this:

The mages' magic is mostly stored in the eyes, like dragons in FFXIV. So Carnelian got his eye removed for the same reasons OG Horror did.

However

Due to the fact that punching through his skull to take his eye is mostly impossible, and would kill him anyway, his AU's version of Alphys and Undyne had to restrain him and surgically remove it. He fought like hell, causing Alphys to miss a few times. His eye was removed intact, but the surrounding skin and bone was all fucked up. the restraints also cut into his skin because of his struggling, and left quite a bit of scarring.

he uh. he has a little extra reason to be pissed at them here. still not enough to justify the shit he's doing but. yikes. big yikes, and also ow.

[danstupidaushit]

Decadent Society MODERN

So uh, this one i'll have to rewrite, as despite still having the original info stored in my computer, i feel like it would be a lot better if i tried to re-explain some points about the characters (specially since a lot of info that i have saved is in fact outdated, lol)

So, what was the concept of this "modern" version of Decadent Society? I'm not... sure? Like, at first when i was making this new version, i was actually doing it so i could give the AU a fresh coat of paint, i wasn't going to change the main storyline or anything, i just wanted to make the characters look less like a swapfell ripoff, but after a while i guess i gave the AU the concept that, after the monsters got locked up on the underground, Asgore began to start forcing everyone to get prepared for a possible second war he wanted to have with the humans, so a lot of places and monsters were now dedicated to training and getting themselves prepared for when a second war broke out I did not remember this being kinda similar to negativetale, but oh well

So yeah, the AU was meant now to give more focus on the whole war thing Asgore wanted to do, giving some emphasis on him being actually serious this time and shit. I never developed the concept of the AU too much, mostly because i think i was trying to change it for the sake of being different? I wasn't doing it because i had a good idea in mind that sounded better than the old version, i was doing it because i strongly believed i HAD to

So, uh onto all the characters i have developed

Frisk: no info about them that i can remember, so i guess we can say they are pretty much the same

Flowey: So apparently he's somewhat more similar to the original flowey, but due to being so oppressed by the world around him, he eventually grew way too afraid to keep on going on trying to be threatening, as he now only attacks others when he's afraid of them, and constantly tries to hide himself out.

Napstablook: His concept was that instead of being depressed, he's so lonely that he became somewhat insane, or at least a little bit crazy. Simple as that

Toriel: I don't remember her fully, but i believe the idea for her is that she became much more about surviving rather than keeping on going with the motherly personality that she has, sure she will help Frisk, but they will never be her main priority.

Sans: He's depressed and lonely, and has a small mania of trying to call Papyrus several times a day, mostly because of not being able to see him in person anymore after Paps was drafted. None of his calls get answered.

Papyrus: He got drafted, and now undergoes through heavy training in order to be a perfect soldier for when the second war eventually breaks out. He's a lot more quiet and serious than his original undertale counterpart, and always takes his duty over his morals, despite knowing that some of the stuff he's forced to do is wrong.

Undyne: Leader of the army, nothing much to say about her except that she's fierce, remorseless and definitely doesn't question any single one of Asgore's orders, them being shady or not.

Alphys: I guess her concept was that she's a tired scientist forced to produce weapons for Asgore's army, tho her old design indicates that she also had a knack for engineering robots and cyborg like appendages.

Mettaton: I genuinely don't remember what he was about, but i guess he was more focused on the whole television thing? I do remember his old box design had a concept where he only speaks via the programs that he was managed to show on his screen, so he basically had to talk via sentence mixing lol

Asgore: Big bad guy, desperately wants to start a war with humans again, mostly out of spite than anything else.

Asriel and Chara: idk what their concepts were about, i think Asriel was like, a neglected kid because Asgore is an asshole and Toriel was too busy, and Chara was like, his kinda weird friend. Idk how they were supposed to die or something

Muffet: Oh wow, i actually made more characters aside from the main cast. So, the concept for Muffet is that she's a famous movie star and was a main adversary for Mettaton's business. Yeah that was it, the concept was cool but i never got too deep on it lol

Burgerpants: He's a drug dealer, he had to start selling shady shit because he got laid off from his job at Mettaton's hotel for being too incompetent.

Nice Cream Guy: weird emo guy, very anxious and scared about stuff. Apparently there was a concept about him having an abusing girlfriend? Which explained why he had to wear a collar, they were kinky, but the woman was kinda of a bitch to her or something. Idk lmao

Temmie: Also some kind of dealer, tho instead of Burgerpants that just sold straight up drugs, Temmie just sells knockoff stuff, while also giving out temmie flakes.

Monster kid: I remember he was kinda cute, he was actually gonna be a companion for Frisk during the majority of the story, not only through waterfall. He was like, a heavily bullied kid that loved doing art, which was funny since he don't got arms, so he actually learned to draw using his mouth.

And i think that was it? I don't actually have much information i remember about, since i erased a lot of the stuff i've made for the au because i wanted the modern version "forgotten" or something, idk lmao But there you go, this is why you see a lot of people for whatever reason drawing decadent society sans with a blue eye or with a hoodie with camo patterns, it's because of this cancelled version of the AU best way to take this info i provided is to look back at that shitty drawing i made with the main cast + some side characters

[anime-grimmy-art]

What do you do when there’s not much to an AU? You make up your own stuff, ofc. And as is per usual when I make Character Designs, I make up a shit ton of lore too.

The ramblings under the cut, but what I’m really interested in, is what you guys think. Do you guys have any headcanons/ideas for this AU? Let me hear them! Also, if you don’t wanna read on tumblr, here’s the Google Docs link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/151yshHxnb_--P6eMKkwkI2dee9xC_Llb/view?usp=sharing

Before I get into the characters’ roles, here’s some general facts and backstory of their town:

- Basically, it’s Undertale meets Harvest Moon / Stardew Valley. Well, kinda. I at least used that approach for coming up for the jobs for the characters. You know, how there’s always a general store, a doctor, a smithy, etc.

- The usual story of a HM game is that you come to a town that’s way past its glory days and you, as the player/farmer, help them get back to that. The “backstory” of the town is that that already kinda happened. I’ll get into it more in the character description, but basically when Asgore was still mayor, the town got really popular. Then yadda yadda, a certain tragedy happened, two kids died, and the town suddenly got very bad publicity. There was a lot of stuff going on back then, bad reputation being spread and also a lot of law stuff, cos, you know, supposed child murder ‘n all, so Asgore made the decision to shut off the town to ppl from outside. This was in the interest of most monsters living there, because as fun as it is to have a lot of people coming there, most just wanted to live a quiet life. Not everyone was happy with that though, so many moved away from town and some others are trying to get the town back on its feet. But more on that later.

On to the characters:

I’m just gonna start with the skelebros, cos it’s their fault in the first place I got so invested.

Basically, they are what the player is in hm/sdv. They just showed up one day, took over the abandoned farmhouse and began their life there. The two came to town way after it was “closed” and since then a new mayor has opened the possibility for new residents to move in. Their farm helps the economy of the town a lot and the mayor, like usually in hm games, is trying to use that to make the town more known again. The skelebros aren’t really working towards that goal however.

So, now a bit more detail on them individually.

Papyrus:

- The design is mostly based on what’s “canon” in this au.

- He works mostly on the fields and is in charge of the crops. Their fields aren’t spectacularly big, but still big enough to plant a few dozen rows of veggies. 

- Paps also helps out a lot in town when he has the time. He helps Asgore with his plants, he goes fishing with Undyne, helps Toriel carry crates around and so on. This is inspired by the part-time job mechanic in HM ToT.

- Unbelievably, in this AU Pap is not an absolutely awful cook. Since he helps out at Muffet’s and Grillby’s a lot, they tend to show him some tricks to cooking. Even though Pap’s not a big fan of the greasy or overly sweet cooking those two do, he picks up a lot.

Sans:

- Again, design mostly based on the “canon” look. Maybe a bit more baggy.

- This is finally an AU this dude gets to rest. Since there are no resets and he doesn’t have to see his bro die again and again, for once in his life, he’s not a sad ball of depression. He’s just a chill and lazy dude that loves to make puns. Though, since he’s not too experienced with the feelings of loss, helplessness or grieving, he still tends to hide behind puns and fakes smiles if he does feel bad.

- Sans is in charge of the animals on the farm. Papyrus begrudgingly gave him that role since Pap’s loud demeanour and hectic movements usually scare the animals. Sans’ relaxed attitude draws the animals to him naturally and even if Pap mostly finds him sleep against a tree, in a stack of hay or on one of the sheep, the animals are always fed, healthy and relaxed, so Sans seems to be doing his job.

- Sans always has a small chic sit inside his hoodie or hat. Is it always the same one? Who knows, maybe.

- Sans also, somehow, can produce eggs out of thin air. Grab into his hoodie pocket, in his pants pocket, in his hat, in his slipper, there’s suddenly always an egg there. On good days he can even make butter or cheese appear. 

Gaster:

- He’s literally just a scarecrow in this. Though, if you ask any of the bros why they designed their scarecrow that way, they won’t have an answer.

Frisk&Toriel:

- Frisk is mostly based on what I wore myself as a kid in summer. Just a loose shirt with a cappy. Toriel basically has her ut gown, just with an apron on top.

- Frisk just appeared outside the “magical” forest one day. Napstablook and his cousin found them and brought them to Toriel, who has been taking care of them since.

- Toriel runs the general store in town, but also often takes care of the few kids that still live there.

- Frisk usually helps out in Toriels store, plays with the other kids or sits around at Asgore’s. They’re notorious for nabbing small snacks, mostly from Asgore’s plants. You’ll always find them munching on something. 

- Frisk was in town before the skelebros. Since they’d moved in, Frisk often went to spy on their farm. After a small incident with angry chicken, Frisk got to know the two better and now they see them as something between brothers and uncles.

- But Frisk honestly gets along with everyone. Just like in UT, they’ve not only been adopted by Toriel but literally everyone.

- Toriel and Asgore’s relationship is not as bad as in the main game, since, you know, Asgore didn’t kill literal children, but there’s still tension between them. Back when Asriel and Chara died and the whole thing with the bad rep for the town began, Toriel felt betrayed by Asgore focusing more on the town than giving their deceased kids the grieving they deserved. They’re not divorced, but Toriel still moved out and said needed space to think. Now that Frisk is in the picture though, the both of them are slowly coming to even ground and may even be able to talk things out and clear up the uncertainty of their decisions.

Asgore:

-Asgore has his UT Ending / Deltarune clothes, just with a gardener’s belt.

- He’s the previous mayor of the town, but after all the crap that happened, he stepped down from the position. Now he has his own little shop and sells seeds, saplings, homegrown veggies and fertilizer. So, basically what e.g. the Marimba Farm is in HM AP

- His main customer is Papyrus and they’re on friendly terms. Asgore is worried about how much and how hard Pap works, so he often gives him a discount. 

- Since his family’s past tragedy, Asgore is kind of nervous around kids. So, when he first met Frisk, he hoped they’d not visit him too often. But to his chagrin, Frisk took an instant liking to him and spends a lot of time at his shop (and steals eats the fresh grown veggies). Now, he’s really grateful for that, because for one, he loves Frisk as dearly as he had his own children, and also because now the tension and mistrust between him and Toriel seem to grow smaller day by day.

Undyne&Alphys:

- I gave Undyne a pretty basic fisher’s outfit. Alphys basically has Elli from HM’s outfit, just a bit more doctory stuff added. She still has her canon lab coat too.

- In essence, Undyne and Alphys have 2 completely different jobs. Alphys is the resident doctor and Undyne runs the fish market.

Two things. Yes, I know Alphys is more a mechanic than a doctor, she fits the aesthetic though, so she’s the doc now. And no, Undyne being a fisherwoman is not cannibalism, think of it more as a shark hunting smaller fish.

- The reason I lump them together is because they act as the local “smithy”. Alphys is still really tech savvy in this (I mean, Mettaton is still part of this AU), so she takes on most problems with electronics and stuff. For Undyne, I didn’t want to lose her Royal Guard’s Captain image, so she’s really good at handling tools (and weapons, but Al doesn’t let her make them anymore). So basically, if there’s a broken tool, you can be sure that either Undyne or Alphys can fix it.

- As for relationships, those two are still an item. Alphys is still really shy and a shut-off, but since Undyne and Pap become best friends, she gets to know the skelebros better. She and Sans especially get along well, since most of the time Undyne and Papyrus are let loose, they sit back and talk about science-y stuff. (no, Sans doesn’t have a background in science but he’s still into sci-fi)

- Alphys has a bit of a strained relationship with both Asgore and Mettaton.

Back when Chara and Asriel died, it was because of “illness” (maybe poisoning?). Alphys feels awful because with her back then limited knowledge on medicine she couldn’t help the two. Asgore doesn’t hold anything against her but Alphys can’t help but feel guilty.

Alphys still built Mettaton’s body in this one. The two had a really big disagreement, because Mettaton hated the fact the town was going to close, and he couldn’t understand how Alphys could feel otherwise, even more so endorse the idea.

Mettaton, Napstablook, Mad Dummy/Mew Mew:

- Napsta and Dummy are pretty self-explanatory, they got straw hats. Mettaton’s outfit is a bit of a joke cos it’s a play on “work at the top and party at the bottom”. The tie has two different sides, one with the yellow red pattern, the other completely red. His “top part” is the business part, because when he’s on tv or in the mayors’ office, you don’t usually see his feet. The bottom is his party/dance part, cos his dancing/entertainment channels mostly feature his legs. 

- Mettaton, still a robot, Napstablook and Mad Dummy are all still cousins in this AU.

- Originally, they all lived and worked at the Blook Farm, the Animal Farm of this AU. Mettaton, however, despised that simple live and after befriending Alphys and her building him a body, he left the Farm to pursue bigger things. 

- Mettaton runs the local tv network. From weather to game shows, he does it all. He also runs the tailor shop in town that sells his designer clothes and merchandise. After Asgore stepped down, Mettaton also took over the role of town’s mayor and now works towards making the place more known again. Not everybody is happy with him doing that though.

- One of those people is the Mad Dummy. He can’t stand people anyways and he always claims that history would just repeat itself.

- Since the whole family is made of ghosts, they have different dummies and scarecrows they can use to take care of the animals. To mock Mettaton and kinda get back at Alphys for giving MTT such an opportunity, Mad Dummy found the blueprints for the Mew Mew robot and now modelled one of their scarecrows after it. 

- Napstablook isn’t fond of taking over obejcts like his cousins do, so he mostly takes care of the snails. Somehow, he can interact with them even when incorporeal. 

Muffet&Grillby:

- The two of them run the Inn together. Muffet cooks in the daytime and makes desserts, Grillby manages the bar in the evening. 

- The two still can’t really stand each other but working together like this benefits them both because their rivalry just spurs them on more.

- Even though Grillby is a patient person, somehow Muffet is the only person who riles him up enough to retaliate. (Well, maybe except for Sans, he’s a strong second).

So, basically everything between those two is a challenge in some way. Even if Papyrus doesn’t notice, even his cooking lessons are a challenge for them. 

- Even though they’re constantly bickering, after working together for so many years, there’s a strange level of respect and trust between them. Even if back when they first started this business, they’d pour salt into an already open wound, nowadays they’d know better and just take a step back from the other or even comfort the other (on very rare occasions only). 

Asriel&Chara:

- They be dead. Kinda.

Some Characters that’d live in that town too but that I haven’t made designs for:

- Gerson is the original smithy of the town. He’d grown up in a family of smiths, but he’d always had an appreciation for the sea. That’s why, when the town became more deserted and Undyne had a good enough skill level as smith, he took up the Captains hat and now mostly spends his days out on sea. He also ferries people to places if they need him to. Oh, and just like in canon, Undyne learned most of her skills from him.

- Burgerpants is a poor dude Mettaton basically kidnapped when he was trying to get fame in the city. Now Burgerpants works wherever MTT needs him to, be that as cameraman for the tv shows, cashier in his tailor shop or his slave secretary in the mayor’s office.

- MK is Frisk’s best kid friend. MK’s parents are in charge of shipping the goods out of town and paying the individual people. MK’s the one that usually collects the goods at the end of the day.

- Other than that, there are only a few people in town. I’d imagine the older folks or the really young families stayed in town after it was closed. I think the librarby dude would still run the library. Some Snowdin residents like the stone family or the dogs also might still live there.

Undertale University AU??

Hellooo I am new(ish) to tumblr and also the Undertale fandom but I just finished the game a few weeks ago (played neutral and pacifist, watched genocide on youtube because i do not want to kill them myself) !!!! And I loved it a lot so I am finally passionate enough about something to be creative with it So I was like why not make an AU-type thing where everyone goes to university? It's probably been done before (?) but whatever I get to do it again I'm currently thinking of maybe doing some comics and potential fanfiction / writing? Anyway so far I have planned out everyone's majors: Sans - Physics I chose physics for Sans because he's aware of alternate timelines in the game, so I think he would be interested in quantum physics specifically. Papyrus - Game Design I had trouble coming up with a major for Papyrus at first but finally decided on game design. Here he can be creative with all of his interests as well as create puzzles for players to solve. He also seems to be online a lot in-game so I think this would be perfect for him Mettaton - Theatre This one is pretty self-explanatory, he likes to be dramatic and will do great in theatre. There is also a cutscene of him acting in-game so I think it fits Alphys - Computer Science (with Biochem as a 2nd major or minor) Alphys very much programs in-game as stated by Mettaton when he talks about her naming programming variables after Undyne, and she builds machines and robots! And Biochem might change but I chose this based on her experiments in the True Lab, I felt maybe those would be considered biology? Undyne - Criminology (potential focus on forensics) Undyne is a cop in Deltarune so I felt like this major fits Napstablook - Music (minor in business) Napstablook seems to be very passionate about music so that is their true passion, but their parents wanted them to become a business major so they could carry on the family business. They were originally a business major to appease their parents but decided to just have it be a minor and follow their true passion. Shyren - Music Obviously Muffet - Literature Muffet talks very properly in-game and is also based on the fairytale "Little Miss Muffet" so I thought this would fit! Toriel - Theatre Professor? Maybe English At the end of Undertale hard mode (where you name yourself Frisk) Toriel reveals she was acting out being dead so clearly she has the ability to be involved in theatrics. But she also gives off English teacher vibes and likes to read a lot so I'm not sure. Maybe both? Asgore - Biology Professor In Deltarune, Asgore grows his own flowers. I also need the professors to teach classes the characters will actually attend so this works lol Alphys will be in his class W.D. Gaster - Physics Professor Specializes in quantum physics and has his own lab at the university where he conducts research. Some people find him a little shady, but Sans works in his lab and does research under him. I'm very excited to work on this more, hopefully I have the time!! I also haven't really drawn much before but I will try my best :P Thanks for reading!

Underlust Reimagine Frisk Bio (Tomo)

🤍 They don’t remember anything about their life on the Surface, or how they fell to the Underground in the first place. The fall may have caused this amnesia.

🤍 Overall, Frisk seems to be a very whimsical and carefree individual, even despite the fact that they could have died on their fall and don’t remember anything at all about their life.

🤍 Somehow, it seems that they have a natural talent for reading the room and knowing exactly what to say to make someone feel better when they are down.

🤍 Frisk has a great sympathy and empathy for the monsters of the Underground, which is something they definitely are able to use to both their and others’ benefit.

Other Information

🤍 Birthday: April 6th

🤍 Age: 19 (after the Fall)

🤍 Gender: fem agender

🤍 Pronouns: they/them

🤍 Height: 5′5″ / 165 cm

🤍 Orientation: panromantic, asexual

🤍 Likes: ice cream, mac ‘n’ cheese, trying new things, making friends

🤍 Dislikes: awkward silence, bright lights, sandpaper, being sick

Design Notes

🤍 Little about Tomo’s design was changed from the original UL design. In fact, this is part of what inspired me to use flag designs for the rest of the characters’ color palettes.

🤍 Their nickname comes from the Japanese word “tomodachi,” meaning “friend.” This is supposed to reference how they are far more interested in making platonic connections rather than anything else.

🤍 Their role and personality is actually a bit inspired by Tooru Honda from Fruits Basket! Just a little bit. ULR isn’t a shoujo manga and there’s no intended canonical ships or anything.

Canonical Relationships

🤍 Toriel (Ash) - Tomo likes Ash a lot and is very thankful for the home that Ash had offered them, even if, in the end, they turned down the offer to stay in favor of trying to find a way home. 

🤍 Sans (Ace) - Tomo has a fair understanding of Ace’s internal frustrations and has attempted to talk them out with him, but it only makes Ace upset. Tomo, however, remains patient with him.

🤍 Papyrus (Duo) - Duo is probably the closest friend Tomo has made during their time in the Underground. They spend a lot of time travelling and talking together!

🤍 Undyne (Pearly) - It takes Pearly a bit to warm up to Tomo, considering Pearly is a bit more hostile towards humans given her job as a Royal Guard, but the two end up being notably close.

🤍 Alphys (Ally) - Tomo believes most things anyone says flatly, so they didn’t initially realize most of the things Ally was telling them were flat-out lies. Nevertheless, Tomo is relentlessly forgiving even as they discover the truth.

🤍 Metacrit - Tomo remains pretty calm and happy around Metacrit despite how hostile and rude he is towards them. However, this patience ends up being to their benefit, since Metacrit eventually decides to become friends with Tomo.

🤍 Asgore (Myriad) - Tomo doesn’t even flinch as Myriad attempts to take their life, and immediately instead tries to offer their help, despite what seems to be his silence and frustration. Who knows how that will turn out...

🤍 Chara (Arrow) - Tomo has seen them a few times and wonders what they could do to help Arrow, since Arrow never seems happy.

🖤–✨–❤️

[ciro-illustrate]

I made an official AU!

This is called DustTale-A side, or DustTale: Changed Timeline, where everyone has the same roles but there’s huge differences to the story. The designs are also canon btw

(P.S-Sorry if sprites are bad quality again, I’m looking into better apps or programs for pixel art)

*STORY*

After falling into the underground for the First time, Frisk began her adventure and freed everyone from the underground. But one day, she got bored, and began to wonder what would happen if she reset the world, Sans was nearby and saw what was about to happen, he tried to stop her but failed. Eventually she woke up in the ruins, instantly realizing that she could do the same thing over and over again, and started to wonder what would happen if she attacked.

She put her idea to the test and began her first Genocide run after 5 resets, after her fifth, she met Chara for the first time. Chara made a deal with Frisk saying “I can help you bring something new into this world…all I ask is that you let me join you”

After thinking, Frisk closed the deal and they set off finishing the run. After over 356 resets, that was when things finally changed… and when Frisk would regret her actions.—————————————————————————————————— *CHARACTERS*

*FRISK*

Frisk in this world is more confident and adventurous, usually getting into trouble or finding trouble. After starting a fifth genocide route, she finally drifted away after making a deal with Chara, eventually becoming partners and committing mass genocide. Frisk now regrets those actions, but she cannot be set free on her own.

*FLOWEY*

Flowey is more careful on hiding his real intentions and plans, and enjoys watching Frisk failing from his traps and fights, he also resembles a buttercup and loves to act sweet and friendly. Flowey is a little more stronger when it comes to strength, specifically with vines and pollen. Flowey can grow to massive sizes and destroy walls if he wanted to, the pollen can act as a poison or make any person tired.

After the genocide run began, he showed more of his sinister side and acts as an alert for Sans, but also acts on his own accord. *TORIEL*

Toriel is more caring in this world and her magic is a bit stronger and the ruins is filled with flowers, vines trees and bushes, and grown by her. Toriel also keeps her old crown in her room, and a golden necklace with her at all times. After being killed by Sans, she returned as a phantom known as “The Burner”, any time you see her or she finds you, she’ll immediately burn on fire and attack.

*NABSTABLOOK*

Nabstablook is less nervous but prefers to be by himself sometimes. He enjoys listening to music a lot and wishes to make his own someday, usually he can be seen hanging out with his cousin Mettaton, or in at Waterfall singing with other monsters.

After being killed from revealing his weakness, he became a phantom called “Siren”. If you hear whistling or humming with no one around, run and hide.

*PAPYRUS*

Papyrus is more eager and energetic in this AU, his traps are more complicated and his puzzles are bigger, but fun though. Papyrus still wishes to become a royal guard, and tries to prove he is more than ready for it.

After dying, he follows Sans around wherever he goes, along with the other phantoms. He’s usually trying to calm Sans whenever he has a break down, and acts as his body guard. His traps are more violent as well.

*UNDYNE*

Undyne is more tactical and strong willed, including when it comes to battle. Undyne’s armor is tougher but somewhat lighter too, still has difficulties when entering HotLands however. After her death, she becomes “The shadow knight”, and will hunt Frisk down and attack when cornered or in complete darkness.

*ALPHYS*

While trying to help fallen monsters and keeping their bodies together, she caught an unknown illness and nearly died because of it. Alphys was in a panick one day after finding out her soul started cracking, and without thinking, injected herself determination, hoping it will mend her soul. It did, but at a cost however. Her body began to slowly melt, and the more stressed she got, the worse the condition. Undyne and Mettaton were there with her the entire time while it happened.

Eventually they both made a cure for Alphys. Whenever Alphys feels scared, stressed or angry, her body begins to melt and the worse the condition gets. After Sans’ rampage, she ran to the True Lab and broke down completely. Almost her entire body melted and now shows signs of mutation. She is one of the only ones Sans never killed.

*METTATON*

Mettaton loves to bring drama and excitement to the audience, and puts on a grand show every time. He also includes Nabstablook and other friends in different episodes, with Frisk being on one too. After death, Mettaton became “The beast”, and can be seen around at The Core, Alphys’ lab or with Sans. His soul is replaced with teeth, and a large eye on his chest, including two sharp tentacles that are attached to his back.

*ASGORE*

Asgore is more relaxed and did his best to fix his mistakes. Giving the fallen children a proper burial, the next day he found six beautiful flowers fully grown in front of the tombstones, along with the souls freed from their capsules. The souls are still in the castle, but now wander wherever Asgore goes, and love to chat with him.

Asgore and the children found peace.

But after his death, he became “Thorns”, his magic is stronger, and can be able to create his own vessel, which resembles his body, but he’s no longer the same. The children still stick with him, and worry that he may go too far and may die again.

*SANS*

Sans is the last one to talk about, in this world, he is more anxious and tired. But after the genocide runs and resets, he finally snapped, and began his own run.

He forces himself to stay awake whenever he feels tired, but it makes it worse and harder to use magic, which is where the phantoms come in when he must rest. After becoming the murderer, he also got more anxious, and even has panic attacks, or powerful meltdowns. He wishes he could turn back time, when everything was ok, but it can never be the same.——————————————————————————————————Welp, that’s about it for the story and Designs, hope you all enjoyed it. I’ll be posting more about the AU on here and with other sprites too. See ya next time ^^
