[jart-ist]

Here's most of my storyshift take done, and i most likely won't work on it again for a while (someone called it boring and i'm a sensitive little baby who needs to grow the fuck up but that's not important), so uhh, yeah. Also, undyne's a vtuber because i thought it would be funny lmao. anyway, i'm probably gonna disappear again for a while because I don't have the energy to make more stuff so bye.

happy june 16th everyone

[haveyouseenthisskeleton]

I’m not sure if this has been asked yet but main skeles reactions to their S/O wanting tattoos, or already having them!!

Undertale Sans - He doesn't think much of it. It's your life, your body, so do what you want with it? If you ask him for his opinion on getting one, he will tell you to do whatever you want. He can help you choose if you really need his help.

Undertale Papyrus - He's excited. He didn't know humans could do that and now he's very curious about it. He would love to have one matching yours but he waits to see how one tattoo goes first lol. He's not too sure about the needle but you telling him it doesn't hurt that much is comforting him a little. Maybe one day, who knows.

Underswap Sans - He didn't know humans do that too. Blue has a few of them, except it's closer to engraving, directly on the bones. It disappears after a few years though, because the bone slowly regenerates. He finds it cool yours stays forever! He would love to try!

Underswap Papyrus - He was really exciting about all the possibilities you can draw and everything. Until he came with you to watch you get tattooed. As soon as the tattoo artist shows him the needle, Honey turns suddenly very pale and passes out before they even have time to touch you. Yep, no, he's good. He doesn't need a tattoo after all.

Underfell Sans - Like Blue, he has a lot of engraved bones so he's not too surprised humans are doing the same. He finds it cool actually, you two can match now! That would probably make him feel a little better as well, as Red didn't really choose to have them. When you have low HP in his world, anything to look more scary is good to have.

Underfell Papyrus - Edge has still some engraved bones from his childhood that Red kinda forced him to do, and he hated it. Edge doesn't like people touching his bones. He's fine with you getting some though, even if he's cringing the whole time while you're getting tattooed.

Horrortale Sans - Well, good for you? He's not sure why you like it so much since it hurts you everytime you're doing it, but he's not judging. If it makes you happy, it makes him happy, he's not difficult.

Horrortale Papyrus - He's not sure what's the point in this, but he can tell it makes you happy so good for you? It's pretty though, and he won't stop telling it to you. He likes pretty art.

Swapfell Sans - He can respect you trying to get more scary. He's not sure about your Disney drawing to do that though. Are you even trying to be scary? What's the point of getting your skin engraved if it's not to look scary? He's flabbergasted.

Swapfell Papyrus - Like Nox, he's a bit confused about why you're doing this. You're on the Surface, you don't need to look scary??? Also it hurts! He knows that, he had a dozen of these before. When he sees you're tattooing a unicorn, he's even more confused. Ok, what are you doing? Do you want to suffer for nothing? Do humans do that for fun or something??? Why? That's for sure one thing he doesn't like about humanity.

Fellswap Gold Sans - ??????? Why are you engraving his name into your arm? Don't you know what your own name is? Why are you stealing his?? He gives you the judging stare, the one insulting your intelligence. When you tell him you're doing that to have a forever memory of him, he's even more confused. He's standing literally right next to you and he will live 300 more years than you??? Shouldn't he be the one to do that? How are you going to have a memory of his name if you're dead and decaying? What? Why are you looking at him like that? Humans are so weird.

Fellswap Gold Papyrus - He wants to cry when you ask him to draw something for you so you can tattoo him on you. He puts everything he has in the drawing, and he's so happy with the final result. It makes him feel even more special. He's happy you're happy.

*wips, headcanons below↓

-Error is very obviously legally blind. Their glasses help some, but it "upgrades" them to being very much nearsighted.

-They went through many code changes and corruptions while changing from Geno to themselves, and ended up hardly even resembling their prior version, but it also allows them to alter some of their own code (nothing too overpowered, just changing their colors and such, maybe clothes too). Although, they can change other's code freely, even if it takes a lot of work and concentration.

-This Error was formed while having regretful and angry thoughts, which makes them prone to blowing up and overthinking a lot. Their mind is clouded by their own crazy thoughts as well, if not focusing on something.

-They're intersex!! Aside from being a magical skeleton, there's no distinct category their bone structure fits into and they have no trouble summoning both a female and male ecto (It can take a lot of effort for skeletons of one sex to learn to summon the other)

-They sometimes sneak into Classic's home and cleans it up for her, and Papyrus always thinks that it was a magical force over his own sibling lol

-error can't read actual books and only code. They're illiterate when it comes to real sentences.

-their glitches can show program icons depending on the emotion, such as ⚠️ signs when violent/angry, or a buffer icon when thinking. (Hey, did you know that buffers are actually called throbbers? Yeah I hate it too)

~~~~

-Ink was never fully formed, and was only able to grow physically after shocking itself out of stasis (tearing its soul in half.)

-Its bones are very fragile and easily broken, although they always heal over quickly it's a very unpleasant experience. The black bones are by far the most fragile, and they're largely the most flexible parts of the body, having been deprived of magic in the initial shock of the soul being torn, the bones went into decay and magical form of necrosis. Their rapid healing kept them from ever breaking off .

-ink can create anything. While some things take longer than others, much longer even, such as living things, he can create them. Living things, however, require an understanding of how said being is constructed. He can't make a cat without knowing what their organs and bone structures are like. He doesn't have to know how they operate, as the intent to "create a living thing" is all the magic needs to make it work.

-they are VERY bad at social interactions, but are so confident. It's actually painful to listen to sometimes.

-Ink can't do math. They're also dyslexic.

-Helping Sci work on an artificial soul capsule for magic to be able to feel authentically. It's like a 20%/100% project rn.

Full Pj and Gradient designs and headcanons coming soon!! (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠) Feel free to ask questions in the meantime!!

[what-have-i-unleashed]

just a quick stop

finally, the full fic of weird fluffy kist that i have been agonizing over...

(cw: violence, minor character death, a bit spicy - lime on the citrus scale)

killer and dust have been trekking through the dark endless space for a while. killer has been chattering nonstop, filling the empty void with his voice, which dust appreciates. were he to be left floundering in the silence, he'd go crazy just like the many unfortunate souls that have stumbled into this non-place.

this "multiverse station" doesn't seem to have an attendant, only an eerie display of monster dust and decayed human bodies scattered sparsely throughout. yet, killer doesn't seem to be deterred a single bit. he's confidently announced that they would get out of here and back on track to their scheduled date in a mobfell universe.

"trust me, honeyboo," killer gestures with his hand waving around like an excited kid. he's leading dust with his other with his other hand nestled in dust's. the handhold is securely warm in contrast to the chilly void. "my intuition is never wrong. we're definitely on the right path."

your boyfriend is a dumbass, brother, papyrus sighs, floating next to dust.

"i know, bro," he murmurs, smirking into his scarf.

killer turns around, as if hearing what he said. "huh? have something to say, dusty?"

"nothing. guide us through this darkness, o wise guy," dust replies.

killer tilts his head, his signature grin widening. "sure thing, lover boy~"

they walk and walk and walk until dust sees something in the far distance - a white light in the black void. killer, still holding his hand, runs towards the light. dust stumbles as he's dragged along. as they get closer to the light, dust can see it is fragments of some sort of dilapidated train station. there sit three wooden benches in various stages of damage. next to one is a sign in an undecipherable language, along with an equally incomprehensible map, probably of the available pathways. a single bright lamp illuminates the area. as killer fawns over the map, dust stands back idly and makes a mistake looking up at the lamp post - he quickly turns away when he realizes there is a white soul trapped inside the lantern, pulsing slowly. fortunately, before dust can think about it, killer whistles at him and beckons him over.

when dust languidly makes over to killer, the hybrid-souled being speaks animatedly, "looks like we're at this stop point," he points to a faded star mark on the map. "if we want to make it to our destination, we can just go straight ahead from here."

killer traces a long-winded path to another symbol on the map. dust doesn't claim to know much about the jumble that is multiverse travel, so he has no choice but to trust his partner.

"but how can we travel to there?" he asks. "your token is out of juice."

killer gives him an impish grin. "we wait."

and so wait they do. the couple rests on the bench nearest to the station sign, with dust sitting in a corner and killer lounging indulgently, wrapping one arm behind dust's shoulders. bored out of his mind, dust pulls out his cigarette pack and puts one in his mouth. he searches for the lighter in his pockets, only to hear a click right next to him. turning to his left, he sees killer holding out the lighter with the flame on, an inviting wink flashing his face. amused, dust leans in to light the end of the cig, keeping his gaze on killer, whose cheshire smile doesn't wane the whole time. dust leans back and lets out a puff of smoke. he can feel killer's gaze on him.

"so, what else can you put in your mouth, bunny?"

dust glances at killer from the corner of his eye socket. the other skeleton is resting his chin on his closed fist, a mischievous grin on his face. dust looks him up and down before replying dryly.

"you're that bored?"

"maybe i am. maybe you should help me entertain myself."

dust scoffs lightly, but still indulges his boyfriend. "you want a fight then?"

"if that fight involves that mouth of yours, then yeah."

without further prompting, killer slides off his seat and crawls into dust's lap, kneeling over his slouching figure. from dust's point of view, the white light from the lamp washes over killer like a soft halo, his face obscured by the darkness, only somewhat lit by that red soul of his. the shape of the soul is wavering somewhere between an upside-down heart and a target, making dust consider killer carefully. extinguishing the cig on the handle of the bench, he slowly reaches his hand to cup killer's cheek.

"this okay?" he asks quietly, to which killer answers, nuzzling into his hand.

"yeah."

dust guides killer down towards him and nips the corner of his mouth, trailing small pecks along the jaw. he feels killer shiver and doubles his efforts, quickly moving his mouth down killer's neck - or at least the parts not covered by killer's turtleneck that is - while helping killer taking his jacket off his body. dust lets his teeth graze near the nape of killer's neck, smirking into the turtleneck when he feels killer grabbing onto his arms and pulling him closer. dust complies, snaking his hand up inside killer's shirt while teasing him with lazy kisses and half-licks around his mandible. killer's bones are scarred under dust's hand, but dust pays them no mind as he lightly caresses his lover's sternum.

impatient, killer grabs dust's skull with both hands and pulls him into a biting kiss, nipping and growling into it, which only stirs dust into doing the same. the wet, breathy sounds of them exploring each other's mouths echo in the empty void. killer lightly grinds on dust's lap, smiling as he feels dust jerk in surprise. the hooded skeleton only tightens his grip on killer's lower ribs, which prompts a quiet moan out of killer.

but there's something else too, a piercing whine coming out of somewhere.

dust is the first to pull back, his face flushing blue and his tone breathless as he whispers, "did you hear that?"

killer smirks at him, not looking as out of breath as his lover is. "might be our ticket out of here."

with that, they hide behind the rubble of the station, both of them eagerly watching whichever unfortunate soul has wandered in here. it's not long before they see a dog monster approach the bright lamp and survey the map, looking as confused as dust was previously. killer and dust look at each other, silently communicating with their eyes, before each of them move in the opposite direction, effectively circling their unknowing victim.

killer is fast, throwing a knife at the dog monster before dust can formulate a plan. the dog monster startles and howls as the knife penetrates into their thigh. they collapse, and dust, not wanting killer to steal his kill, quickly raises a barrage of bones piercing through their head, dusting them right away. it's all over under one minute.

"aw babe, really?" killer whines as dust feels the exp running through his body, making him shiver. "you gotta have to take those measly exp?"

dust shrugs. "payback for last time you stole my kill."

killer sticks out his tongue, unapologetic. "i still have next time. by the way, what's in their inventory?"

dust, as the winner of the short-lived battle, rustles through the dust pile to see some gold coins, a notebook of some kind, and finally a travel token. picking up the token, he checks the thing for any forgery then throws it at killer. killer catches the thing with one hand and inspects it with his softly lit eyelight.

"is it enough?" dust asks, relieved to see killer nod.

"should be enough for our trip. we can always take more from another."

"finally," dust breathes out, and killer chuckles, putting his arm around dust's shoulders.

"don't be so impatient, mon beau," he whispers near dust's skull. "after the dinner, we can continue what we did back there."

dust stares at killer, trying hard to stop the blush forming on his face. he mumbles angrily as both of them swiftly disappears from the station. truly, killer should be glad he's dust's boyfriend, else he would be forced to eat concrete right now.

[cafeeeeeeeeee3]

Dumb drabbles I might colour because I need to keep my hands occupied.

Already drew Dream sleeping on cross while he works out. Nothing fairer than Cross sleeping on Dream while he does chores.

Additionally, I've been thinking recently... Cross likes Swap's tacos. Who's been stated to put random stuff, like glue and glitter, on them.

Does cross like the taste of glitter? Does he not mind, simply?

(On a small tangent, do you think Ink would consider them art, and refuse to eat them? Do you think he'd frame them, and mourn them like he mourns Error's destruction when they inevitably decay? Would watchinghis efforts to preserve art over the years teach him how to cope with loss, and how to better problem-solve to defend the things that he, in his own way, adores?)

(Food as a metaphor of love, but its not about consumption!!! Lmao)

Also, I absolutely love the idea that Swap taps his feet against the floor and crosses his arms when he's mad. It just seems like something most of the characters with a papyrus leaning personality would do.

Also! Aren't both Dream and Cross based on a swap? I am not sure about Cross, in special, because while he has a shitton of traits that indicate it, I have never seen it be stated in an explicit manner. Dream is just a body thing, I don't think it really affects his personality.

But,,, ain't it neat????

ALSO! dream and Cross have *so many* drapey bits. It's comical.

Birthday Bash

Hey guys, Dragon8er here!

There's been a bunch of birthdays since February that I've made art for that I haven't posted publicly.

I figured now's as good a time as any, along with some other miscellaneous related doodles.

First up was March 5th, the birthday of my good friend @tramon81.

I also made a sprite of his daughter, Fille.

Two days later, March 7th, was the birthday of Louie from Undertale Restore (created by @shigg315).

The last birthday in March was of Lumen! A CORE!Frisk AU created by my good friend @masterofthenova. <3 And so I doodle them along with Hashir, another AU CORE!Frisk also created by Nova.

Speaking of Nova, it was her birthday not too long after this. And I did a whole sketch page for her! <3

Also featuring Buttercup (created by @bigfungus7), Warden!Error, created by Nova, Soot and crums (created by @butterybutters and Nova), Silksuit!Muffet (created by Fungus and myself), and Ash, Decay, and Analo, also created by Nova.

After that was Fungus's birthday. For which, I did a drawing of Lily, Sans, and Papyrus from her AU @fungalfell.

(Alt without the filter and black shading:)

And lastly, today is the birthday of Chloe Lattimore from @pacifideundertaleau (created by @aurora-borealie)!

And so I made this.

Not gonna even lie, I think this is my favorite piece I've ever made.

[caecuspillar]

Alright, I'm just gonna write what my au will be like, also I'm not going fully logical on this, because Im doing it for fun ^3^

SO! Why I named my au Grintale?

Because everything is falling apart, including the underground, minds and moral system in there.

Actually it's because the effects of CO poison that cause hallucinations and confusion making monsters to be crazy and sans is grinning so why not?

Why it's happening and what's going on there?

I'm gonna be honest, I have no idea why the kids went to the mountain, low-key they accidentally fell.... Ig they are all clumsy O⁠_⁠o oh and 'm not a fan of chemistry, so I would like to apologize to any chemistry people for my mistakes.

At the surface, there's a high Carbon Monoxide surrounding the forest of mount Ebott, caused by the humans as they burn off fuels like gas, wood, oil in their daily life. The burned that it reproduced, went to the forest as it thickened the CO, making a thick heavy fog. As CO were reproduced more and more, it crawled to Mount Ebott hole and the fog went down to underground.

Humans avoid the mountain now out of fear, or maybe they're unaware of the danger which makes Frisk's fall even more intense... Cus the forest felt lifeless yuh!!

The effects of Carbon monoxide starting from the Ruins until New Home↓

The Ruins

Since it’s the first underground area, it would get the earliest low-level exposure.

Toriel might notice her fire magic doesn’t work as well or burns with a strange color. Monsters with low HP or breath-based attacks (like Froggit or Whimsun) feel weak or act strange. The atmosphere is heavier, colder, and monsters get tired quickly.

Sans suspects something was wrong when he visited 'the old lady' behind the ruins, As toriel told something strange happened in the ruins, some monsters fainted for unknown reasons but some of them never woke up after fainting for days.

Snowdin

The cold could slow down the CO buildup a little, but it would still sink in over time ig? CO is heavier than air, so it settles low maybe in the valleys and snowy dips of the forest...

Sans, who always notices everything, could hint something is “off” about the air. He’s breathing, but it doesn’t feel like breathing. Funny how a skeleton doesn't have a nose to breathe..

Papyrus could be more hyper than usual ig? maybe from lack of oxygen, ironically.

Waterfall

Being wet and cooler, it might resist CO for a while.. But!! Caves and lower levels could have dryness, and air where the gas just sits.

Imagine a monster in a deep part of Waterfall who’s gone strange or ghostly from long-term exposure to the gas or maybe a corrupted monster who attacked their own kind cause by hallucinations and dizziness by CO poisoning.

Hotland

This is where it gets really confusing for ME.

The lava and high heat would make CO combust if there were oxygen small fires or spontaneous bursts that appear. Alphys’s lab might be full of warning signs and maybe she's running experiments on the gas and trying to contain or filter it.

Oh and Mettaton could be powered by something that reacts with CO, adding more drama as if the gas is making him unstable or too powerful.

Core + New Home

The CO gets there last or then, it becomes something more than just gas but a symbol of corruption, memory loss, or decay.

Asgore can feels the weight of the fog without understanding it. His fire magic is flickering and unstable.

Monsters could begin to vanish or act strangely, like their very code is degrading. (Could be checked in the multiverse)

Monster Reactions to CO Exposure

Weaker monsters faint or fall asleep and never wake up. For more sensitive monsters might hallucinate, lose memory, or go berserk, especially those tied to emotions or magic. Ghost monsters might actually 'feel' the gas differently, like it’s tugging at their soul-code or making them hear things.

Ok woah.. let's take a break AYO? (⁠ʘ⁠ᗩ⁠ʘ⁠’⁠) Anyway idk if it's logical enough but it's fine, I don't need to bee specific about my au (⁠@⁠_⁠@⁠)

[jart-ist]

free at last

my storyshift is finally done (in terms of designs and im too lazy to come up with lore, so yeah. also, most likely not gonna make absolute phoney (omega flowey replacement) sprite because it's big and i'm lazy, nor will i make battle sprites. so, yeah.

now im gonna work on my underswap!!

[askaxetale]

Is Axetale a closed off AU or is it open? As in, could beings with the ability to travel between worlds enter it?

Axetale is an open AU, as the viewers and Universe travelers like @traveling-papyrus can enter and speak directly with Sans, Aliza and Papyrus among others like Undyne.

That being said, no multiverse ending threat will come in anytime soon, as the universe is already decaying.

[howlsofbloodhounds]

hnghhhhh thinking about how chara not only sees killer as a 'friend', a 'partner-in-crime', but potentially a 'sibling' too. just thinking how chara would say to killer "asriel and i always wanted a younger sibling" while smiling and crushing him with their hug. chara is teaching killer about the world, just like what they used to do with asriel when they were alive. like, chara's relationship with asriel can be so fucked up, but we'll never know. i do think that chara genuinely loves asriel and views him as basically better than them in every way. yet, everything chara touches just decays and turns to dust. i think chara would hate flowey because he is an inferior version of what asriel is supposed to be (and also a possible mirror of chara's self and ideology), yet they would still care for him because that is/was asriel. i imagine that hatred for flowey naturally transfers to killer as well. chara cares for killer but they also want to rip him apart.

idk how killer would take being seen as a sibling figure to chara. would that somewhat trigger his emotions and memories for papyrus? maybe he subconsciously leans into it because it's something familiar and safe to him. maybe he enjoys small moments of chara comforting him, only to endure terrible things afterwards. bcabdcjbaks this is so sad 😭😭 dysfunctional/doomed siblings always kill me...

~ crowshipping anon

Uhdodje. I love the sibling angle with Killer and Chara too—really I wouldn’t be at all surprised at all if their relationship went through phases of just about everything. Strangers, mentor/teacher, child/parent, friends, partners in crime, siblings, enemies. We have no clue just how long they spent together—no one being really real enough in their eyes to measure up to the other.

It also gave me the thought of something like, Killer often instinctively leaning into this dynamic because it feels familiar for reasons he doesn’t fully understand, but whenever Chara turns on him or hurts him after, there’s always this ache in his soul that he can’t place. He knew it was coming, it always does—so why does it still cause his body to behave as if it’s something so genuinely soul crushing. As if there was some type of betrayal, as if there was anything for Killer to have ever lost in the first place.

They aren’t actually siblings, after all. He doesn’t even know what having one felt like. (Just this sense of something like, “I had a sibling once. You took me from him” that Killer just can’t actually fully understand or comprehend in Stage 2.)

[tyrranux64]

I Did Nothing Productive All Day...

If I had the money to fund my own fighting game....well, this wouldn't be my first pick but screw it I'm in a funk and I need something to fiddle with. If I were able to do this I'd like it to be a 2D fighter in a similar graphics engine to Dragon Ball FighterZ and Guilty Gear Strive. Technically a four button fighter (Light, Medium, Heavy, Dash) but with a fifth "Contract" button which would.....uhhh.....I dunno do some kind of faustian bargain mechanic attack, like the Infinity Stones from MVCInfinite but with even more broken utility and a health cost to balance it? Or fuck it, just have it be the tag attack button for a 2v2 mode. Dash would be a medium strength lunge attack going up to 10 feet.

Actually y'know what? Easy EX Moves at 6% of your health! Just hitting this button (and a single directional input) gives you easy access to otherwise hard to trigger EX Moves when you need it but at the cost of some health. Thing is that spent health is now treated as Provisional Damage, you'd be able to get it back if you manage to perform that same EX Move (and successfully hit with it) using the intended but difficult Meter Burn button input. Of course if you get hit before you do this you lose that spent health permanently. The "Contract" button would stop working the moment you hit 5% of a given round.

I'd have the combo system be KI 2013 to a T, as such it would have a combo breaker system that's actually worth a damn to the point you wouldn't really need a comeback mechanic, having a damage decay to prevent TOD Combo bullshit. Supers would be real time and implement a meter system like KI, two stocks max, at least one of a character's supers would require both bars. I'd of course have a regular NRS style method to use EX Moves, needing at least 50% of a single bar to use. If a comeback mechanic must be implemented I'd have it be a Fatal Blow that does up to 60% damage in one go but then disables your access to EX Moves, Supers and even the "Contract" button. _______________________________________________________ [LAUNCH ROSTER; At best this would more than likely be an indy project, expectations for a big roster would have to be significantly tempered. At best I could see it launching with a minimum of 8.]

FRISK (Was banished to Hell by cultists, now fights to escape this waking nightmare.) A pretty straight forward stance character, changing up normals by switching between the fast but weak Knife, the medium stat Baseball Bat and the strong but slow Axe. Specials and Supers would be the same across all three stances, even having 3 unique specials that allow for instant switching during combos. Would have an exclusive Spot Dodge like Videl, one that can be EX'ed leading into a counter attack. Finally, a secret 10 second super mode that sees Frisk suddenly gaining powers similar to Sans, replacing the spot dodge with an Ultra Instinct dodge and giving brief access to Ermac style command grabs.

CHARLIE (Seek to claim Frisk's soul in a bid to protect them from the rest of Hell.) We have SF6 Manon at home. A decent array of command grabs that see Charlie forcing the opponent into brief spurts of ballroom dancing or ballot. Would also have some short range fire zoning that go about mid range, more for applying pressure than outright projectile spamming. Would also have a "sticky grenade" mechanic similar to KI 2013 Cinder, costing some meter to plant a will-o-wisp (max of 1) that can be detonated to break through the opponent's block.

PAPYRUS (A defective Revenant that has befriended Frisk, the first real friend that he even had.) A character prone to "falling to pieces" much like Nadia Fortune and MK1 Havik, using detachable limbs as both bludgeoning objects and makeshift boomerang weapons. In addition he'd have access to magic "bone traps" that come off like variations of Terry Bogard's Power Wave and Shang Tsung's Ground Skull. Would even have a "Blue Attack" super that momentarily disables the opponent's ability to jump for at least 8 seconds.

VAGGIE (Charlie's wife, helping the princess in her efforts to save Frisk.) Pretty much a greatest hits compilation of Kitana, Mileena and Jade. To this end I'd have her adopt the use of a three sickle blade throwing glaive as both a melee weapon and boomerang projectile, saving her spear for hard hitting specials and supers.

UNDYNE (Hell Knight servant of Lilith Morningstar sent to acquire Frisk before anyone else.) A small vicious collection of command parries in merfolk form, even having the ability to reflect the opponent's projectiles right back to them. Would have a pretty straight forward spear toss and a few takes on MK1 Shang Tsung's Bed of Spikes. Would have an "Undying" mechanic similar to KI 2013 T.J.Combo's Last Breath.

ANGEL DUST (A porn star that needs that 666 Trillion bounty on Frisk's head for..."freedom"...) Pretty much a hyper sexualized version of VS Series Spiderman but with the added flourish of a pair of Chicago Typewriters. Would have the most easy to spam projectiles but with an ammo count mechanic to keep track off, projectiles fired cannot do chip damage to blocking opponents.

FLOWEY (A mysterious entity who has a vested interest in Frisk and those that pursue them.) Smallest character bar none reaching up to Frisk's leg in height. Would pretty much be Smash Bros Piranha Plant with the added utility of vine whipping attacks and "Friendliness Pellets" that can be guided in diagonal trick shots. Would also have a hidden 10 second "Omega Flowey" super mode that transforms them into a hideous monstrosity fastened to the ceiling.

ALASTOR (Seeking to control Charlie, he too goes after Frisk to use them as deal making leverage.) We have MK1 Quan-Chi at home, also a bit of MKX Shinnok. _______________________________________________________ [ARCADE MODE BOSSES]

ADAM (Seeks to use Frisk's soul to complete the "Seven Hearts Ceremony" which will give him dominion over both Heaven and Hell.) Proverbial Goro of the game. We have SC6 Azwel at home. His ego leaves him prone to taunting the player leaving him open to attack for brief moments. Is able to recover health but this also leaves him open to attack.

ASRIEL THE GOD OF HYPERDEATH (In desperation Adam makes a deal with Flowey, dooming the first man to become the new vessel for the very eldritch deity that those cultists worship. There is no Adam anymore, only Asriel Dreemurr.) Final Boss. Pretty much what would happen if GG Justice, MVC1 Onslaught and MVC3 Dark Phoenix hate fucked in a hateful threeway, producing an extremely hateful baby best described as Borderline SNK Boss Syndrome. Would be an absolute mistake to make them playable. _______________________________________________________ [ADDITIONAL ROSTER; Hopefully I'd be able to give these extra characters as free updates.]

ALPHYS (Quit her job at Vox Industries in protest of him using HER tech to try and kill a child! As such she befriends Frisk.) Pilots a mech that would make Tron Bonne jealous. Said mech having a similar fram to GG Potemkin, boasting a host of built in weapons and tricks similar to MVC1 War Machine and Injustice Lex Luthor.

CHERRI BOMB (Angel Dust's ride or die best friend, helping him to acquire that 666 Trillion Bounty.) Pretty much what would happen if Cyrax's infamous Bomb was hit with gamma radiation and mutated into a whole move set onto itself. Normals involve extensive use of a crowbar.

SUSIE (Yet another in an ever increasing lists of demons pining for that 666 Trillion Bounty.) A towering beast with a battle axe, a few rudimentary magic spells and enough mass to and muscle to turn SF3 Hugo into a chew toy.

HUSK (The Radio Demon's slave sent to hinder Charlie and Vaggie at every turn possible.) Basically what would happen if VS. Series Wolverine suddenly grew wings giving him air combo supremacy. Might have access to a "Booze" mechanic that gives him brief bursts of strength and aggression at the cost of sluggish controls.

BURGERPANTS (A disgruntled fast food employee that sees the 666 Trillion bounty as a retirement fund there for the taking.) Has gone completely postal, using the pump action shotgun he got his hands on as both melee weapon and projectile launching device, even uses it to do blast propelled air dashes and double jumps. Has a whole back pack of other severe abuses of the second amendment.

STOLAS (An old friend of the Morningstar family, was asked to keep tabs on Charlie making sure she doesn't go rogue.) We have Smash Bros Ganondorf at home (albeit significantly faster). Borrows a few tricks from the KI 2013 Hisako playbook. Many of his more devastating moves emulate Dracula from the Castlevania series.

METTATON EX (Seeks the 666 Trillion bounty to revitalize his currently floundering fast food chain.) Jojo Poses, Jojo Poses Everywhere. Majority of normals would have heavy emphasis on kicking much like Eddie Gordo and Han Juri, saving his robotic arms for the Heavy button and certain hook shot specials. Would also get a 10 second "Mettaton NEO" super mode gaining air dashes and more hard hitting projectile spam.

LUCIFER (The King of Hell, forced to step onto the streets upon hearing news that his daughter Charlie is "misbehaving"...) Borderline MVC3 Vergil tempered by joke character quirks, would probably be the first to get banned from tournament play. _______________________________________________________ [POSSIBLE GUEST CHARACTERS; Where the real money is made. Would not be even remotely possible to offer these as free updates. Also I'd just bunch them all into a single slot similar to how the DLC was handled in MK9, requiring you to hit down additional times to cycle through the available characters.]

V1 (Ultrakill) (Frisk activated this "forbidden robot" to escape the V's, not fully knowing just what it was they unleashed....) An absolute monster twisting the very concept of the "shoto fighter" into a display of violence and brutality that would make even Akuma wince. I would also have V1 utilize a nasty command grab or two that drains blood from the opponent to heal itself.

POMNI (Amazing Digital Circus) (A client of the Hazbin Hotel, has become fiercely loyal to Charlie for being given house and home.) If DBF Ginyu was shorter and had crippling anxiety, summoning Ratha, Zooble and Jax for an array of MK1 Kameo style assists. On her own she would have "game glitches" that let her teleport relentlessly.

PEPPINO (Pizza Tower) (Papyrus ordered a pizza for Frisk, now this madman is hellbent on delivering said pizza in 30 minutes or less.) Would be grapple and rushdown god devoid of projectiles and other such extraneous abilities, human combat in its most purest form.

ROXY THE WOLF (FNAF Security Breach) (A pizzaria animatronic that Papyrus reprogrammed to hinder the Radio Demon.) We have GG Ino at home. Would also have a "Damaged State" mechanic gaining new more monstrous specials the more damage she takes during the match.

JUDGEMENT (Helltaker) (One of the feared Furies sent to quell the sudden escalation of chaos.) We have MKX Takeda at home REVENGEANCE!!! Would have masochist abilities to hurt herself gaining drastic boosts in strength and speed for brief moments (losing her ability to do combos for the duration).

SPAWN (Allies himself with Frisk out of pure spite for both the Overlords of Hell and the Morningstar Family.) Look I know the legal hoops and budget draining fees it would take to get this guy but just let me dream dammit! I'd have him be the best that MK11 Spawn had to offer with all the bad fat trimmed out, given a good helping of SF4 Oni to give him an added sense of "last person to fuck with".

Welcome!

Hello! We are an adaptive system of 37 headmates! All of us share this blog together. You may know us from our old (obsolete) blogs, @dhundertale and @droughtale. This is our rebranded blog, with our rebooted series.

This page features two Undertale AUs, both of which take place in the same universe, just with slightly different circumstances. The descriptions of these AUs are lower down, if you wish to read a brief summary.

The first two pages of Defining Happiness are here.

Both AUs contain the same ships, so be warned and turn away if you do not like them. You will be blocked if you reblog or comment just to complain about the romances/QPRs.

Any of the ships listed that have more than two people are polyamory/ethical non-monogamy, not "love triangles".

The ships are the following:

Chariskriel (Chara x Asriel x Frisk)

Flowiskra (Chara x Asriel x Frisk)

Friskid (Frisk x MK)

Tuffet (Toriel x Muffet)

Sansgoriel (Sans x Asgore x Toriel)

Sansby (Sans x Grillby)

Papyton (Papyrus x Mettaton)

Mad Alphyne (Mad Mew Mew x Alphys x Undyne)

Chara and Frisk both use they/them in this AU. Napstablook uses they/them. MK uses both they/them and he/him. Mad Mew Mew (Maddie) uses she/her. Please respect that.

Please not deadname Mettaton or Maddie.

Also, in these two AUs, Flowey and Asriel are headmates, not the same person. They have shared memories (and a shared body/soul), but they are separate boys with their own thoughts and feelings.

--------------------------------------------

Defining Happiness/DH (Summary)

A fancomic series about our protagonists Frisk & Chara and their loved ones attempting to find freedom on the surface, and facing hardships of forming a lasting family. The story is told by Frisk of the future, passing the tale onto their niblings (nieces, nephews, niephews) and little siblings.

Follow Frisk as they study and fight to become the young ambassador for Monsterkind, join forces with the previously-hidden MHHR Association (Monster, Hybrid, Human Rights Association), battle the traumas formed by their past, face teenage development and romance, and struggle to maintain a relationship with their older sister, Celest.

--------------------------------------------

Drought & Devastation/Droughtale/DD (Summary)

A fanfiction series about our protagonists Celest & Michael, attempting to journey through a decaying underground, with the soul of Celest's sister (Frisk). While Celest is the older sister in Defining Happiness, in Droughtale Celest is aged down, becoming Frisk's younger sister instead.

(TW for physical abuse & cannibalism)

When Frisk (age 13) fell into the mountain, they rushed to get through the underground, to return home to their little sister Celest (age 9) and care for her, as the two of them lived with abusive parents. Frisk managed to complete a false pacifist run (leaving Asgore dead and Toriel the queen), intending to gather Celest from their home and return underground, knowing that Toriel would care for the two of them. However, upon arriving home, they failed to sneak inside and take Celest without notice. Their father caught them and began to beat them.

They attempted to reset, but found that their magic was no longer of use. (This is because human magic can only work in the presence of monster magic.) Instead, they were left with brain damage from the beating, and spent the rest of their childhood locked in the house with Celest, tending to her the best they could in their impaired state.

Upon adulthood, the two escaped together. Celest married her husband, Markson, and the two had a child Junebug (aka Frisk Junior.) Frisk passed away not long after, telling Celest to take their soul underground to free monsterkind (while being unaware that the other six souls were fully used up and lost during the fight with Omega Flowey.)

Celest traversed underground, only to find that it was no longer the wonderland Frisk had described to her, but instead a place of ruins, riddled with a magical drought that caused all monsters to have erratic, hallucinatory, and/or violent symptoms, and be thirsty for any magic - or liquid - that they could get their hands on...including the lifeforce of each other.

Through her journey to get back home to her husband and child, she seeks to discover the history of how such a magical place has come to such devastation.

Hello I was wondering if I can request some headcannons on horrortale Papyrus,also stretch would definitely listen to twenty one pilots sorry that this is long

Hi you absolutely can! I'm gonna assume these are just general hcs and if not please feel free to request again! Also YESSS THANK YOU STRETCH HAS BEEN SO HARD FOR ME MUSIC WISE.

Also Also no need to apologize that wasn't long at all!

•He's a pretty good chef, doesn't have a super strong sense of taste so he's mostly guessing with the spices and stuff at first but he gets the hang of it based on his brothers minute reactions. He can read his brothers tells pretty easily.

•Artsy boy he's got sketchbooks up on sketchbooks that he's filled. It's a little sad but you can actually see the decay of the underground and it's inhabitants through his drawings.

•Really enjoys gardening when on the surface as it helps him feel self sufficient and he enjoys being able to grow and provide his own food.

•A creative guy all around really I feel like he would be into poetry and dabble in writing as well as his artsy side. Patient enough to paint and enjoys making jewlery. I feel like you have a creative hobby this guy can get behind it.

•Has a collection of fidget toys that he uses to help with his anxiety and such. His favorite are the puzzle solving ones like rubix cubes and matching ball colour ones because they help distract his brain better.

•Self conscious is this man middle and last name. He's not constantly thinking about it but he does get anxious being around others because he's worried he'll scare them (I'm in love with this skeleton)

•Definitely one to live in the woods or the countryside. He can deal with being on the outskirts of a city even but he's just not the city living type of guy.

•Still a Mettaton fan but I believe he'd be into documentaries and small budget indie movies alot as well. Also feel like he'd be one to get lost on those videos of people building shit at like 3 am on nights he can't sleep he thinks it's neat and has even attempted to build small buildings and such he's seen them make in the woods. He's actually pretty good at it too!

How do you read a scroll you can’t open?

With lasers!

In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupts and buries the library of the Villa of the Papyri in hot mud and ash

The scrolls are carbonized by the heat of the volcanic debris. But they are also preserved. For centuries, as virtually every ancient text exposed to the air decays and disappears, the library of the Villa of the Papyri waits underground, intact

Then, in 1750, our story continues:

While digging a well, an Italian farm worker encounters a marble pavement. Excavations unearth beautiful statues and frescoes – and hundreds of scrolls. Carbonized and ashen, they are extremely fragile. But the temptation to open them is great; if read, they would more than double the corpus of literature we have from antiquity.

Early attempts to open the scrolls unfortunately destroy many of them. A few are painstakingly unrolled by an Italian monk over several decades, and they are found to contain philosophical texts written in Greek. More than six hundred remain unopened and unreadable.

Using X-ray tomography and computer vision, a team led by Dr. Brent Seales at the University of Kentucky reads the En-Gedi scroll without opening it. Discovered in the Dead Sea region of Israel, the scroll is found to contain text from the book of Leviticus.

This achievement shows that a carbonized scroll can be digitally unrolled and read without physically opening it.

But the Herculaneum Papyri prove more challenging: unlike the denser inks used in the En-Gedi scroll, the Herculaneum ink is carbon-based, affording no X-ray contrast against the underlying carbon-based papyrus.

To get X-rays at the highest possible resolution, the team uses a particle accelerator to scan two full scrolls and several fragments. At 4-8µm resolution, with 16 bits of density data per voxel, they believe machine learning models can pick up subtle surface patterns in the papyrus that indicate the presence of carbon-based ink

In early 2023 Dr. Seales’s lab achieves a breakthrough: their machine learning model successfully recognizes ink from the X-ray scans, demonstrating that it is possible to apply virtual unwrapping to the Herculaneum scrolls using the scans obtained in 2019, and even uncovering some characters in hidden layers of papyrus

On October 12th: the first words have been officially discovered in the unopened Herculaneum scroll! The computer scientists won 40,000 dollars for their work and have given hope that the 700,000 grand prize is within reach: to read an entire unwrapped scroll!

The grand prize: first team to read a scroll by December 31, 2023
