He kept the scientist close to him. Sci was Nightmare's greatest weapon against this AU, but he could not keep himself safe. Not here with a type of magic that would seek to destroy him to keep itself from being discovered.

With how early it was, the Toriel was in her home. She was awake, though, as she could be seen moving past one of her windows. Seeing that made Nightmare smile, as that was convenient. If she was awake, he would not need to wait too long for her to answer the door.

"Alright, little lab rat. It is time for us to meet the witch," Nightmare mused as he started towards the door, dragging Sci along behind.

Ever so politely, as his standards are, he knocked and waited per the social norm for her to open the door. Being proper should keep the tension down as much as possible, at least long enough to take her by surprise. Thankfully, she followed her part in this custom cautiously and answered. Unfortunately, she balked the moment she saw him and started slamming the door.

"How rude," Nightmare mused as his tentacles sped forward, keeping it from closing and forcing it back open. Perhaps he used too much force, as it did cause her to stumble back, but he honestly didn't care. He would not be a kind guest if she did not play hostess.

Fear

Good. Let her feel fear for the fear he has been experiencing about the health and safety of his boys. The witch was so focused on him, in general, she failed to notice anything else he was doing. How foolish. He curled a tendril around her ankle to keep her from fleeing and actively feed on that fear. It fueled him and allowed him to grow equal to her height.

A wicked grin grew over his face, keeping the fear he drew out from ending.

"Greetings, Toriel," He said darkly.

The witch summoned up her fire magic, naturally. Of course, she would; fire is natural to most Toriels. She snarled, smoke curls drifting up from her nostrils, "Get out, you horrible creature!"

"Tsk, tsk~," Nightmare teased. "Is that any way to speak to your guests?"

Before she could use her fire magic, he pulled her ankle that he was holding and unbalanced her. It caused her to drop the fireballs she had summoned. They shattered into glittering specks of spent magic as her position. For the moment, she was also defenseless as it was difficult for her to focus on any more attacks.

How amusing; she was still standing.

If Sanses didn't fill every corner of the multiverse, the strength of the others would be more noticed. Toriels, Agores, Undynes, even Alphyses... No one of those characters, or others, should be dismissed as weak.

Regardless, her still standing against him just would not do, so he continued to pull until she did fall. "Now listen here, Witch, you have no right to threaten me. My men were simply scouting your AU, but you dared to throw a potion on them. You will tell my friend here what you did, and I may just let you live."

Sci flinched at that and peeked around Nightmare to look into the dark skeleton's eyelight. "whoa, nightmare, i think… i mean… there's no need to kill her."

"Oh? Do you hear that, one of the ancient spells?" She was trying to stand, but he would not allow that and lifted her up by her leg. There was an angry growl from her, but it kept her distracted by trying to keep her dress from flipping and stay modest. "The little scientist wants to spare you. How cute~. Now talk before my patience runs any thinner than it already is." Nightmare snarled while giving her a slight shake.

"Your men are dangerous! And they serve an evil being," She glowered up at Nightmare, and he sighed. "They deserved worse!"

"Can I kill her now, little lab rat?" Nightmare inquired of Sci, though he didn't mean it. What purpose would he have in killing her? No, her being alive was more beneficial to him. But he wanted to keep her fearful of him and look to Sci as her advocate. Sci's naivety towards the true nature of Nightmare added to this facade.

"n-nightmare… i… i can't help them if she is dead," Sci stepped forward and did as Nightmare hoped.

"Fine," Nightmare said, calming his voice as he lowered her to the floor.

Sci knelt down and freed her ankle. "i was given a sample of your potion to assess, and nightmare, guardian of negative emotions, is eager for me to reverse its effects. those… dangerous skeletons are important to him, and… they have helped me in the past with various things."

"Then you have thrown your lot in with them!" She yelled and moved to strike him. Sci was too close to block and not in the position to dodge. Unlike his boys, Sci was as delicate as the typical Sans, and Nightmare would not tolerate him dying on this mission. So, the Guardian grabbed her wrist with a tendril before she could turn the scientist to dust.

Sci scurried back, sockets wide as he realized how close to death he was. She summoned her fire magic again, and Nightmare used his other tentacles to grab her other limbs and pin her down. Other tendrils emerged from his back to swat the fire magic to destroy the attacks. He could feel the burn, but it would not last as it lacked the positive energy to cause him real harm.

"Do not lower your guard around her. Now, shall I hold her down, and you can show her the scientific version of what she did to my men?" Nightmare mused darkly.

"YOU EVIL, VILE CREATURE!" Screamed the Toriel as she tried to pull herself free.

"nightmare, please. thank you for saving me, but the threats aren't helping," Sci sighed and looked at Toriel. "he isn't evil… wouldn't call him good either. but if you hurt those in his care, he will act evil. and… they are nicer than they seem as well... his men, that is. you don't have to trust them, but we can make a deal or something."

"Absolutely not. If word gets out that I am willing to make a deal with anyone who threatens or harms them, there will be a target on their backs," Nightmare snapped. "What I can say is that I would normally feel inclined to destroy the AU of anyone who hurt them. If she tells you how to fix what she did, I will let her and everyone else in this disgusting world live!"

And that threat, he did mean.

There was a pause, and she finally looked right at Sci, "Fine, just tell the walking tar pit to let me go."

"I will, so long as you promise not to threaten my little friend again. Is that clear?" Nightmare said calmly.

"I promise," she growled out as she glared at Nightmare.

There was no hint of feelings of trickery or deceit. Still, Nightmare kept watch as he didn't trust her. That, and he didn't bring Sci along for him to get hurt, after all.

Debating on making a really, really bad Sebastian solace costume for Halloween…

[zapsoda]

classpecting utdr characters in my head slowly

[velvetwyrme]

What about Edge dressed up for Halloween? (That might be too much for just a doodle? In which case disregard. But have a good day either way 😊)

requesting details

Thank you for the request 💛! I got inspired suddenly, so have something a bit fancier✨ than a doodle

I was going to draw him as a vampire but then I was like hey. Yknow whats cooler than a vampire?? A half-vampire vampire hunter.

I don't actually know anything about Castlevania but I do know the outfits fuck SO hard.

Also take some more stuff because I had that idea then went. yknow what else would be funny? Matching costumes.

Extra notes under the cut ;3c

Frisk was the one who chose the costumes for everyone after they watched The Wizard of Oz.

They insisted on being the scarecrow.

Papyrus' boots end up bedazzled. He ends up having sparkly boots for a few months after this and he secretly loves it.

MKs costume is actually just Papyrus' chestplate painted over with metallic paint.

Kids still have to have stripes even when in costume, so they also went over the metallic paint with marker afterwards.

Everyone was scared that Toriel would take offense to being assigned the Wicked Witch but she LOVED it. Nobody knows how she dyed her fur green, but it was back to normal the next day.

Elsewhere, Undyne and Alphys are dressed as those two girls from Utena. I also don't know anything about Utena but it feels like something they'd do.

ALSO. I think that Sans would laugh at Pap being Dorothy until he is given his own costume:

[daisilynn]

My design for Toriel’s Dark World outfit! I wanted to go for the same witch type design that Ralsei has. Maybe she could even be assigned to be some kind of ruler /in charge of something in the new world…

It’d be a cool call back to her role in undertale :o

[ladyyomiart]

This is my of my take on a young Toriel (Undertale) as seen through the eyes of surface humans, who would regard her as the fearsome "Witch Queen" of monsters. 👹🔥 (I included a textbox with a battle message to make it look like the human player is facing her during the Humans VS Monsters war!).

[desamatt]

Toriel in the Dark World! (V2)

My (new) take on Toriel's design in the Dark World. Since she's gonna be in Chapter 3 and Chapter 3 has a TV theme going on she's a chef, but she's also a witch because of course she is.

Here is a comparison with my old sprites:

I swear to Glob when I was making the old sprites I specifically remember looking at Toriel's sprites at the end of CH2 and noticing that she doesn't have shoes and glasses... But turns out she does!!! I have no idea what happened there.

[topazshadowwolf]

Not against shipping sci and witch! toriel. Even better. What would night think? lol

First, I do see it as starting as pure friendship. Sci is the one to reach out to her because he sees stuff he is now curious about and wants to learn more. It bothers her at first, until he shares with her, showing how her magic and science and work together. Nightmare finds this all amusing and takes Sci to see her and delivers the cell phone.

As... they start building a relationship... Nightmare is not sure what to think. He doesn't like this witch!Toriel, after all. Yet... it is amusing, and Sci is learning things that might help Nightmare in the long run... So, he will allow it... for now.

Killer (and low-key Dust) tease him about being a matchmaker. That, Nightmare is not amused by.

[deltarune-tober]

I’m very excited to see Toriels dark world design. Wholesome Healer Tori would be cool, but in my heart I want her to be a scary witch boss monster

[skittlesking]

since you & your misfits traveled around the Multiverse Nightmare

Which AU was your favorite to go into?

I really liked on I found that had outlawed witches I think? I know Toriel ran and library and there didn't seem to be any Sans around which was strange. The Papyrus there must have thought I was crazy.

[crystal-va]

Disturbed Sans! the depreso boi!

Disturbed by me

please direct asks about this au to @ask-voidverse

Story!

In this AU, when the barrier was created one of the mages was a witch in disguise and cast a curse with the barrier. The curse made it impossible for any monsters to live quietly, everyone was forsed to live with their fears.

The main cast -

Toriel - Being Alone

Papyrus - Being Irrelevant

Undyne - Weakness

Alphys - Failure

Mettaton - Being Irrelevant

Sans - Darkness

Asgore - Loss

Gaster - Being Forgotten

Sans's Story...

Sans and his brother Papyrus aren't normal monsters. Gaster created the two in hopes of creating a way for him to be remembered forever, he got his wish, in possibly the worst way.

Shortly after creating the brothers, Gaster fell into the core, being broken across time and space, being almost completely forgotten. However... one remembered... Sans.

Sadly the brothers succumbed to the curse like every other monster, this twisted Sans' memory of Gaster, turning him from a kind but mad scientist, into an eldritch horror that lurks in the dark, creating Sans' fear. since then Sans fears any dark corner, alleyway, or even dimly lit rooms, constantly fearing his imaginary beast would be there and attack him.

Skipping through his story a bit... (Don't worry I'll make sure to make a proper story for this AU at a later date)

The origin of his markings!

One day, Sans was approached by an oddly familiar monster... it looked like him, but they were wearing a brown scarf, lab coat, long white pants with black stripes down the side, and their eyes had an almost hypnotic cycle of colors, before Sans could realize what was happening, he was in an unfamiliar place, and trapped with purple chains. The monster that he saw was standing in front of him, holding his soul... (look through my blog to find out who this unknown monster was)

After this, he was forced to work with this monster no matter what, being given markings to remind him that he has no free will, and will forever be nothing but a servant. These markings also came with a name change, Shadow Tag, or simply Tag. He was also given new powers, shadow flames.

These flames could be colder than almost anything you could imagine, or even as hot as almost anything you can imagine, and anywhere in-between. The flames also had another use, Sans could attach a small flame to a part of something, or someone, and be able to track the exact location, anywhere within the multiverse.

Feel free to send in asks about him!

Masterpost of everything we learned from the Kissy Cutie AMA with Merengue on ACDS for those wondering

(Merengue is the creator I should probably mention that lol)

The game, particularly its theme of racism, derived from the rise of Trump in 2016, during which hatred towards Mexicans was popular. As a Mexican woman herself, she says this was a very personal source of inspiration and she considers Kissy Cutie a "healing journey."

Similarly, Sona is inspired by her personal experience living with a controlling parent. Her confusing motives and reactions take you off guard. She depicts a complex person who is full of regret but fails to be better.

The endings were were a criticism of dating sims, trying to follow Undertale's ending style and the fandom.

She regrets making the truest ending so hard to obtain. She is tempted to make TikToks showing people how to get all the endings to stop the suffering.

She would love to remake Kissy Cutie, but "ran out of budget on the intro." In all honesty, she would think about it if people are really interested.

The game has so many artstyles as no artist wanted to compromise to draw all the sprites. While the end product worked, she would have preferred a more homogenous artstyle.

If she were to remake the game, she would like to redraw everything herself.

The yellow soul was renamed to Clover as the demo of Undertale Yellow had released during development. There are also references to Flowerfell (such as in Sona's final transformation), which was another fan creation she loved.

Sona's powers had many changes during production. She was going to be a doll-like monster that absorbed human souls (and goes bald at the end?), then she was going to have Flowerfell reset powers, but in the end she was made to be a witch whose powers came from an ancient artifact. She is also able to turn the monsters human through "determination."

She wanted to explain every loose end left in Undertale, hence the focus on Chara's backstory and their upbringing with Sona. She says Chara is the main character, not Sona.

She was nervous about doing a Sans path due to his popularity at the time. So she made him "that way" on purpose.

She handles the Frisk/Chara/Player relationship "like the Catholic Church handles the Holy Trinity."

She has played Danganronpa, but has not read Homestuck or watched Glitchtale.

The characters with no sprites are a result of their artists abandoning the project.

Alphys, Mettaton and Toriel paths were planned, but never got far.

The Alphys route was being written by a friend who she began to distance from. She never got to see any of it.

She has not played Undertale Yellow, only the demo.

The disappearance of the 42 Ayotzinpa students is another source of inspiration (The scene in which you find Mettaton's body likely alludes to this).

She loves and encourages fan content of her game, including using the game's code as a base for projects.

The humanification arc was intended to explore how a racist would 'solve racism' without violence, by turning everyone into "someone like them."

The human designs have slightly pink hair to reflect Sona's influence. Human Papyrus was inspired by his in-game comments about wanting muscles and hair, human Sans was "the typical fandom approach," and everyone else became anime characters.

The music was the last thing worked on. It was rushed and they didn't know what they were doing.

Sona was not intentionally similar to Monika or Makima.

Sona is (supposedly?) wearing a black mourning dress (Likely mourning Chara hence the yellow flowers).

The cover of Waterfall is her favourite track.

The idea of Sona being a skeleton named Arial was tossed around briefly.

The truest ending was created after some staff requested the option to save Flowey and Sona. It also fulfilled her plan for Sans and Papyrus to take over the orphanage.

Sona's final transformation intended for her to be kept human "but not without her sins showing"

The glitchy text character was Flowey. The glitchiness showed the interference and Flowey being manipulated

Undertale Voice Musings + Choir

Fact: I am a huge choir nerd.

Fact: Back in like 2019, I made a soundfont using the Undertale characters' voice blips, and recently re-made that soundfont to work better, creating things like this:

This one is "Your Fault" from Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods. Featuring Asriel as Jack, Sans as The Baker, Shyren as Cinderella, Gaster as Little Red Riding Hood, and Temmie as The Witch.

In addition to making a soundfont that just re-pitches the blips as they exist in-game, I also made one that loops a portion of the sound so the notes can be sustained, which means I can make cool choir pieces like these:

This one is "Dunkelian Lullaby," a choir piece I composed a while back. If you like this one, I do plan on selling the sheet music for it on MusicaNeo as Eila Mirlen! Keep an eye out for it there ;)

This one is "Love is Love is Love is Love," by Abbie Betinis, from the Justice Choir Songbook. If you're a choir nerd or a teacher looking for free, accessible, quality music, I would definitely check it out!

Anyway, the fun part is that if you listen closely, even in the sustained soundfont, you may be able to pick out the characters' individual voices. For example, Sans and Gaster tend to be pretty loud. Flowey and Temmie are also pretty obnoxious (I have them turned way down in the last example, but they should be in your right ear.)

Some Notes on Ranges

The thing about these guys is that they are... not real and literally just cool synthesizers, so technically they can sing in any range. However, like with voices, they do have ranges they sound the best in and—related specifically to this soundfont I made—here are my notes about where I would place each character in a choir! (Note that I often break these assignments when I arrange choir stuff with these guys just because the number of characters on each part is out of balance otherwise.)

Temmie and Gaster have the largest ranges, being able to sing 5 octaves (although Gaster cheats and goes back down the octave sometimes, like a Shepard tone—I’ve futzed with his voice enough already and don’t feel like fixing it). Temmie’s 5 octaves, surprisingly, starts an octave lower than Gaster’s. (Damn, Temmie.)

Shyren, Mettaton, and Undyne are close behind. They can each sing 4 octaves; Shyren’s range sits one octave higher than Mettaton and Undyne’s.  (Admittedly, Undyne’s very low range sounds a lot like burps, but it’s very strong anyway.)

Toriel, Asgore, Asriel, Flowey, and Alphys have a large range of 3 octaves, Asgore starting lowest, then Flowey, then Asriel and Toriel and Alphys.

Sans and Papyrus have the smallest ranges, at 2 octaves, and they are exactly the same.

NOTE: technically—being synthesizers—all of them can sing past these given ranges. But at the low end they tend to sound burpy and bad, and at the very high end they might be too quiet to be worthwhile.

Ideal Ranges:

Note: many of them can sing in multiple ranges—as seen above—but these are the ones I put them in most often based on where their original voice clips sit (the root) AND the vibes they give me (with some exceptions).

Alphys: Alto - root = F4

Asgore: Bass – root = E3

Asriel: General Treble (tend towards soprano range) – root = A-A♭4

Flowey: General Treble (tend towards mezzo range) – root = E4

Gaster: Baritone/Tenor – root = all over the place because I used 7 different clips for him. Most of the fun timbre switching happens in the two octaves between C3 and C5.

Mettaton: Baritone/Tenor (tend towards tenor range) – root = E♭4

Papyrus: Baritone/Tenor (He CAN sing in a lower range, but it’s not quite as nice as the higher range) – root = E♭4

Sans: Tenor/Countertenor (controversially, I might add. IDK, he can sing in a low range but IMO it sounds... bad, especially when he’s not sustaining the notes because then he just sounds like he’s burping. Actually, for that reason I usually stick him on alto parts) – root = E-E♭4 (you could argue I have the octave wrong, but even then, his root is E-E♭3 and I would still probably stick him more in the tenor range than the bass range—pitches lower than his root sound... not very good. I think he just has a very resonant voice.)

Shyren: Soprano – root = B♭4

Temmie: Soprano – root = G4 (with the caveat that if she’s not sustaining notes, the mezzo-range is stronger for her)

Toriel: Soprano/Mezzo – root = E♭4 (I try to put her and Asriel on different parts because *technically* their voices are exactly the same; Toriel’s speaking voice in-game is just lower. I did add some vibrato to Toriel’s voice to help a little.)

Undyne: Alto/Contralto – root = B♭3

Other Notes:

Asriel sounds good staccato but is really pitchy when asked to hold a note. (I went back and fixed this. But now it’s a headcanon that he can’t hold a pitch any better than your average human child can, I guess.)

Gaster’s sustained low range is also incredibly pitchy. A little sharp, maybe, up until A3. (I fixed this, too. He also no longer jumps octaves in the middle of his range for no reason.)

Papyrus is also INCREDIBLY pitchy when sustaining notes. (This got fixed. But now the headcanon is that he’s maybe a little tone-deaf, or maybe he just gets overexcited and pushes himself sharp or flat.)

Sans actually sounds like… a lot BETTER when sustained, throughout his range because it no longer has the quality of a burp.

Shyren’s voice is strong but her major scale sounds minor when she sustains notes and its weird??? Very flat. (This was also an error on my part, because my tuning skills are bad at 9 o’clock at night. Maybe she tends to fall flat when she’s nervous.)

Temmie sounds good no matter what range. A little trumpet-like, though, and can be overpowering.

Toriel also sounds really good sustained and a lot stronger. She’s still pretty quiet tho.

Alphys’ high range is stronger when sustained.

Undyne’s fine. Weaker in the high range in general.

Flowey is LOUD and OBNOXIOUS.

Range Samples

The image above just shows you which notes and stuff are playing in the above example. Each character starts with "speaking" on the same pitch their voice sounds in game (approximately, in some cases), then a two-octave scale to show off the qualities of their low, mid, and high ranges.

[luciluck2046-utdr]

Welcome to the (non) official

BLOG!!! (For short LUW)

This AU is my own idea. There may be some questions you may ask yourself, but first let me explain what this blog is for.

This post is the main one, I recommend checking it if you're new to this AU. Here I'll post everything Luci's Underwitch related. Or almost everything. I'll try. (I may have missed some art from my main acc, it is @artsycrow46)

Also, if you want to ask any character anything, on @lucisunderwitchasks you can ask them! Edit: The account was deleted and moved here(i have way too many accounts so I need to do some cleaning from time to time)

Let me give you a brief explanation of the AU. Luci's Underwitch is an AU where all monsters are actually humanized, being called Witches. Frisk is 12 during their travel around the Underground, doing the Pacifist Run, and in the end, accepting the job as the ambassador of Witches, but going 'home' to their dad. Chara fallows them pretty much everywhere, and likes Frisk very much, being besties.

Now several months fast forward, Frisk lives with the Dreemurr Family. Asriel (11 y/o) and Kris(5 y/o) are their siblings, and Toriel takes care of all of them, dating Sans (mhm, I'm one of them Soriel shipers).

Ten years later, Frisk and Asriel are at college, and Kris found out about the Dark Worlds!.. The year now it's 2025, and Kris with Susie are now at their homes, waiting for their siblings to come back from college for Easter! Scarlett is one of Frisk's best friends, maybe even more than friends! And Asriel is still single since he's autistic as fvck.

Toghether, Frisk (with Chara ofc), Kris, Asriel, Susie and Ralsei are going into a steampunk adventure in Frisk's closet.(all of this is happening after Chapter 2. I am going to play the next Chapters when they're out, and add them to another fanfic)

Under the cut you'll have more, and at the end there will be the questions.

'kay, the explanation wasn't that brief. I am going to make a comic about it, but I am still learning about how to draw perspective and hair sooooooo y'all won't get this soon.

I have two fanfics on the way with this AU, and a third one might appear after I finish the second.

The main fanfic is called Lost Souls, The First Part explaining different events from Frisk's life after they got out of the Underground, and The Second Part is going to fallow the two humans into the closet adventure! (The closet has nothing to do with lgbt, but the fanfic surely has a bunch of lgbt in it)

I might upload several chapters in a day, or forget about it for weeks. If anyone wants to read more and I haven't uploaded a new chapter in a long while, uhhhhh tell me? (My dumbass my forget fast)🫡🫡🫡

The link to it? I might add an AO3 link too after I figure out how to use that website-

The second fanfic is called Underground Adventures, fallowing Frisk trough the Underground. This one will be out all at once, not by parts, so it's no worth to put the link here.

Now the third fanfic. It's going to be called Runes And Adventures. It's going to be abt Kris in the dark world, during Chapter 1-2. The Chapters 3-4 are going to get a separate fanfic, since they're gonna be AFTER the steampunk adventure. I am not even working on how to write it or any ideas, since it's going to take a long time, and it's not the biggest deal. I might not write it at all, since you get to see most of Kris's interactions in the game already, but who knows?

NOW!!! The possible questions(since I can't say FAQ)

1. Why is it called Luci's Underwitch?

Well, it was supposed to be called Underwitch. But apparently that exists already so I had to add my name to it. TwT

2. How do the characters look?

Well, if you've been on my main, @luciluck2046, you would see a bunch of fanarts, but I'll post them here too a bit later.

3. Comic?

Not yet. I suck.

4. Inspiration?

I got inspired to make this AU after I finished TOH(The Owl House), and also I liked the idea of humans with magic that UnderMate has. So yeah, I kinda combined those two with Undertale and my creativity, and I got this AU!

Reference sheets

Welp, it seems you got to the end of the main post! I might update this often, but who knows? See you later my friend, and have fun reading!
