ohhh glitchfell???

Glitchfell!!! It's funny you mention that specifically, because originally it had just been to separate Dos specifically, but I've actually been developing it on its own on the back burner...

Dos is still sort of the star of the show, since, well, he’s the reason it's glitchfell. Dos is [REDACTED]. However, his creator made a fatal flaw when trying to fix a previous mistake and it completely fucked Dos' code. At first, it was just minor glitching and stat instability. But as he got older, and the attempts to fix the mistake only continued making it worse (sort of), by the time he was a young teen, the glitching was causing problems in the Main Code, so when a particularly bad episode hit, he unintentionally collapsed the timeline and threw himself to a "neighboring" au.

...or so he thought (and how I'd initially written it lol).

But I've been working with, at least an alternate "timeline", where the au didn't actually collapse when Dos was thrown. Rather, it became corrupted. It wasn't too bad at first, more like Glitchedswap, where there were new tics here and there, but things could continue on as normal.

Unfortunately though, a tree cannot grow from a severely damaged trunk. At least not well. The damage was done, and as time went on, the corruptions only continuously worsened. There's a good likelihood it would have collapsed on its own by the time Dos met Void, there's just no way an au like that could sustain itself after a point, but it's incredibly interesting to think about how far it could've fallen before that point, and if it's possible anyone from it could've been saved before then...

Or if anyone would've put them out of their misery before it got so bad.

#I wanna make fucked up designs for all of them so bad </3 #it's like. really sad too bc no one really understands what's going on. at first they don't even realize. and then they just start getting #confused. sans of course picks up on it immediately (especially because he can't find papyrus) but eventually him and Alphys are trying #desperately to figure out what's happening and stop it. but it was already too bad by that point </3 #id love to explore scenarios like Dos finding out it's still around way later down be line only to return and see everything completely #*shattered*. broken beyond the point of reason. and knowing it was his fault. would've been better if it *had* collapsed #or finding out about it after the fact and realizing Void had known and kept it from him #maybe Void had found it after meeting Dos and checking. but finding it in such a horrible state...all he *could do to help them would be...#and Dos finding that out? that Void never told him he found it? that he *manually* collapsed it after he did?#MAN. that'd be so fucked up #Dos would be able to come around eventually but he'd be SO furious and hurt #and that's 100% the kind of thing Void would do lmao #maybe not even initially tbth. the whole thing with Dos stretches out over *several* years. there's a chance Void honestly just forgot by #the next time he re-met Dos #ough...#uselessundertalefacts #ty for the ask sorry for hijacking it with Void #well. only in the tags. still tho #🌟❕💗#clear sky sunset #sun spots #gf dos #glitchfell #glitchfell papyrus
