spamton is a queen fan (the band not the deltarune character .) and has old CDs so he breaks into the SCC shop now and then and forces K_K to play his CDs when hes bored i PROMISE this all makes sense in my head.

all the songs in order are

Killer Queen (i recommend this to Queen deltarune fans)

The Show Must Go On (big shot spamton vibes)

I've Gone Slightly Mad (I recommend this to Jevil fans)

I Want to Break Free (...self-explanatory)

Bohemian Rhapsody (my beloved my fav queen song forever and it's spamtons fav too because i said so)

bonus because capn got left out of these drawings and i felt bad. their fav queen song is Cool Cat me thinks

sooo i recently started teaching my parents how to play dungeons and dragons, and they let me draw their characters

(this is a wip, i’ll post the finished version soon)

character infodump below the cut!

paxan (right) is played by my mother. he’s a blue dragonborn barbarian who ran away from his clan because of their obsession with violence and war. despite his gruff appearance, he is very kind and gentle, and only fights to protect those whom he loves, and frequently finds himself finishing fights skorpa started.

skorpa (left) is played by my stepdad. he’s a tabaxi bard who plays in a death metal band and loves insulting people. his quick wits and sly nature often lead him into trouble that he can’t resolve on his own, thus relying on paxan for protection.

i’m going to be dm’ing a one-shot with them soon!! this is my first time dm’ing and im so nervous lmao but i’m sure it’ll be fine :)

if anyone has some tips for how to help new players enjoy the game more i would greatly appreciate it!!

I should draw guys who are not Siffrin and Loop (my eyes glow red) But I don't want to

There are a lot of great tags on this post, and a lot of different and unique takes on gaster which i always love to read :DD but i dont think i managed to evoke what i wanted to with this drawing

We know that gasters aware hes in a video game, but so many characters in undertale are aware of that already. One of the things that make gasters situation different is his ability to look at our world directly. He's aware that we've been looking for him and trying to understand what and who he is, he knows these last few years were dogshit for everyone on earth and mentions it in his pre chapter 2 tweets, he knows our life outside of our tempering with these worlds

And unlike other self aware characters in undertale, he doesn't experience time and the resets. He "lives" outside of what we can control. He truly remembers all that we've done while being unaffected by any of it. So while other self aware characters (im mainly thinking of sans and flowey) know that theres a person behind frisk whos controlling time, they're affected by our choices and (for the most part) can't judge it from an outside perspective

Sans is mostly unaffected by our inputs, and he does manage to judge us in a very impactful way, but he can't be a completely uninvolved judge. He will (understandably) react to us killing his brother and on certain neutral endings, as much as hes trying to hold his unfazed facade together, he's struggling with the thought of how much of his happiness you took away, even if he knows a reset will likely happen and everything will go back to the way it was. Understandably! This game is his world. Even if he knows its just a game that gets reset its still his home and the people he loves are its residents. He can't be unfazed by everything. he is nice to us when we're nice to him, and he hates our guts when we give him reason to. And he will always forget us after a reset and react to our actions only on the current run, not being able to know who we were to him before.

And flowey acts as the embodiment of this games message, he is our mirror and, in his words, he is who we will become if we exhaust this game of all it has. He exists to judge us, but he can do so only from his own point of view. He's judging our actions, our choices in this world as if we we're stuck inside it the way he is, which we aren't. That's not to say his judgement isn't impactful, that would just be. incorrect to say lol. But he can't interpret what he sees us do in a fully unbiased way because he's in a very similar, but not identical, situation to us. While we can enter his world and play the kind way, we do get bored and try new things, like picking the other, more rude dialogue option, or killing a character to see what a person who loves them says. even if we don't fully want to. Just like he said! But while we both went through the same process, there's a difference between us. We can leave. We don't have to grow apathetic and detached from these characters. We don't have to start seeing them less as people and more as repetitive lines of dialogue. If we're bored, we can leave. Play a new game. Come back when we miss them and see those familiar lines of dialogue and feel nostalgia, not dread. And he knows that we're a person that has a life outside of this game. At the end of pacifist he desperately tries to make us stay. But he doesn't see what our life is like, he cant see what we do with our days outside of his world, so he can only see us leave and return and leave and return, and judge us through his (flawed) world view and based on our actions within a world we enter for fun.

Thats not to say they're not written well? They're the fucking coolest flowey and sans rule.(i think the info dump proves my stance on them) I'm just saying that even if they know about us they cant fully judge the situation from a neutral point of view because they have a limited world view and they're affected by our choices, which gaster (as of now) isn't

And we don't know a lot about him. But we do know that he knows hes in a video game, that he knows we control his world and its linear time, that he lives outside of that linear time and is unaffected by our inputs, that he used to experience time linearly before shattering, that he had people he cared about in undertale, that he saw everything all of us did when playing undertale, that he is kind to us in the current deltarune chapters, that he knows of our lives and what we go through, and most importantly in my opinion, he knows that we (fans of utdr) use fiction as escapism

We've had characters judge us and berate us for our misdeeds, who are fully justified in doing so since we did hurt them directly. But they also cannot see the situation from an outside perspective. No character in undertale sees us separated from their world, as a person who lives a life outside of tempering with undertale, to them we are just a god who takes control of their reality, all they see is a cruel person who entered a world just to destroy it, or give everyone freedom and then just take it away in a second, they don't see how small their world is in comparison to ours, they'll never be able to understand that our actions in their world are (for the most part) inconsequential to us. they cant see us beyond the red soul.

so imagine with me for a second, a character within the game who is not only aware of the fact that he's in a game and that there's a player who controls time, but who also has the ability to SEE the players' lives through the internet. A character who has the ability to see the horrors of everyday real life and how much people struggle with it, and see that some deal with those struggles using fiction. And not just any fiction, the fiction that the character itself lives in. A character who knows that these great beings, much bigger than him, use the thought of him and his world to get through the trials and tribulations of their lives, hardships that are horrific in completely different ways than his world ever had. A character who knows that they find comfort indulging in his world and finding everything it has to offer, because whatever his world has is much more pleasant than theirs.

He knows that to us his world is just a video game, one that remembers and we're not above consequences in, but still a video game. One of the most common complaints i hear about UT is that it is preachy in its message, and players shouldn't be berated by it for playing certain routes or making certain choices (but one of the points of the game was that there is an alternative way to complete it so why choose violence BUT that is a whole conversation in it of itself and this is long enough already)

So what if the game understood? What if the character who created this game, this world, knew that it is just a game and didn't judge the player? What if the character accepted that he is only fiction and saw the beauty and purpose within it, and how he can use his position in this situation to connect with us and allow us to escape our hurt for just a little while? What if he saw the hardships we've endured and empathised with us? What if he understood that we don't view his world as real like he does and we just use it for our fun, to escape, the way a child happily plays with a toy? What if he felt for us, and encouraged it?

Deltarune (initially) not having a way to really hurt and kill people makes me think that while gaster wanted us in this world for whatever his larger goal is, and wanted us to indulge in it, he didn't want us to hurt anyone. But he saw what we did with the previous world and knows that warnings, consequences and the visible and audible hurt of the characters won't stop us (in fact, it will encourage us), which is something he accepts and understands. it's said that his own curiosity brought him far in his endeavours so perhaps he even understands our curiosity and why we just have to see what would happen, as morbid as it is in universe

But i love that we (without the help of noelle, a game breaking pro) cannot kill anyone. He didn't even give us that option. He isn't completely detached from these worlds since he used to live within them. He still views the fictional characters in the game as real while also knowing us, our lives, and the way we interact with the characters. And he loves and cares for both.

Letting us escape into a nicer world while keeping the residents of it safe from us.

And that is of course assuming he isn't tricking us into a false sense of security to teach us a lesson, and isn't lying to our faces every time he talks to us kindly and thanks us. but i think that after an entire game and a whole cast of characters who taught us lessons and took control away from us and showed us what an asshole we are for playing the game in an unkind way.. i think it'll be a really nice thing and a breath of fresh air to have a character who knows what they and their world are to us on a realistic scale, see why we sometimes act so detached from its ways, and understand that yeah, it is just a game. And we do the things we do as a means to escape. And that it isn't necessarily a bad thing to interact with games in this way (to me that sounds like the most self aware character ever written). But also see the characters within it as real (since he used to be amongst them) and protect them from our worst.

Truly and wholeheartedly loving and caring for both his family and the person who barely hesitates to strip them of all their joy before murdering them too.

Hewwo!

Ok... So... Not sure if someone already asked... Uh

But uh... There's a character that you like to draw? The one that sometimes made u think: "oh, i would like to draw them more often..."

Your comic IS AMAZING!!! Not gonna lie, i was out from Undertale for a while and this became one of the best projects i have see since i started using Tumblr!!... And a friendly reminder that u should eat, drink water and have 8 hours of sleep and take breaks every time u need one!!

Honestly, I like to draw ALL of them. The nature of the story just prevents me from giving ALL CHARACTERS in utdr some time in the spotlight. That is also in part why I opened those requests a couple of days ago (which are closed now). I wanted an excuse to draw other characters.

Also, thank you!

[sukifoof-art]

made the utdr characters on the sims and flowey is obviously my favorite every single outfit of his is so much . hes hilarious so i just HAD to draw frisks freak zombie older brother

[mararabbit]

I love these goobers (every UTDR character)

So hard to replicate the feel of traditional in digital… So it’s nice to pick up a pencil and accidentally smudge my entire page and get upset at the folly of physicality.

Also trying to get a little better with posing and stuff, I unfortunately suffer from Always-Draws-Characters-Facing-Right-At-A-3/4ths-Perspectivitis

drawing every undertale character

note: back in business babey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[starrrbitz]

* the true name

it wouldn't be a good start to my new blog if the first art I drew for it was chara undertale

i swear i like, change how i draw them and frisk every month or so, but that's the price of having a seven to eight year long favourite character from a pixel game

also uh sorry about the ass quality just click on the image for better quality

* chara uses they/them pronouns

* this blog runs undertale posts under safeutdr rules

* my utdr blog is @darkcandy-starfait

* PROSHIPPERS DNI

after completing pacifist up to where the mods functional (end of the core) and being halfway through no mercy i have decided i have got to be abnormal.

decided to download bits n pieces and. um. I don't think i can ever play vanilla undertale again💔

[capnhanbers]

hi hi!! do you have any advice on writing naturally flowing dialogue? istg every time i re-read JOAT the dialogue feels so natural and smooth and i can’t get enough

fuahfanahda how sweet 🥺 i love writing dialogue!! I'll just list some non specific advice lol

i try to be realistic. like can i actually imagine someone saying this? I'll say things out loud and think, does this flow? forget the thesaurus, what word do i instinctually want to say here, even if it's not the prettiest most accurate word? would i throw in an um or a like? would i laugh? etc etc

i say this a lot but i have a director approach to writing, so I'm always watching the characters in my head like they're actors performing this stuff. that said, drawing from scripted shows/movies is helpful, but my weird deeper recommendation is to pay attention to REALITY TV SHOW DIALOGUE. it's unscripted yet most contestants are pretty actor-adjacent so you'll find great lines scattered into more organic convos.

then it's not just the words. to me, gestures and pauses are huge. huge huge huge. don't be afraid to interrupt a line of dialogue to say what's going on with their hands, or where they're looking, or what's going on in their expression. again, this is all very visual for me, these are actors.

try to be true to your character's individual voices. this is pretty easy with utdr fanfiction since every voice is soooo distinct, but i keep my rules pretty simple. tori doesn't use contractions. simone doesn't cuss. em cusses A LOT. naya rambles, lots of likes and uhs. chara's an edgelord. and so on. voice comes naturally the more you write, but just give one or two simple rules to each character from the start.

Character requests are open but before you send one:

I’ll probably just do requests of characters I already know going in, doing research to figure out who I’m drawing is just a bit draining for me sorry!

If you’re not sure if I know the character since I’ve never mentioned the series (i.e. rose from steven universe? i dont think ive mentioned su on here?), feel free to shoot the request anyways, its worth a shot!

Try to avoid utdr/uty, this is where I go to take a break from that (and I’ve found I’m extra picky with utdr requests i’m sorryyyyy i’m still afraid to draw those fucking skeletons to this day)

If I’ve already drawn the character before, its cool to request I draw them again! Chances are if I posted a drawing of them then I like drawing them. Request I draw them as many times as you like please

You can send multiple requests but try not to spam all at once please! If you’ve sent 3 in one go, maybe wait it out for a bit

if you make an okko request you are only allowed to request professor venemous what who said that

I’m aaaawwfuul at responding to asks. We’re at 120 unanswered asks now on @squidpedia . Some people have admitted they were worried I thought i was weirded out by them when I didn’t respond. I promiseee thats not the case. My energy to respond to these things just wavers a lot and I even get nervous sometimes, so I don’t pressure myself to respond to every last one.

Also yeah you’re free to just use the askbox for questions thats fine too👍

Before reposting my work to other sites (including comic dubs), please ask for permission in my messages. I will more than likely say yes, its just a boundary of mine.
