#flowey is my favorite part here

[greenheartart]

Sometimes believing in people is risky business...

[braisedhoney]

So you said a while ago underfell was your favorite au before. Is that still true or?

Also who’s your favorite character from whatever au you like?

damn, you were around for that? :'D

yeah, underfell used to be my favorite! i think it was smth about being really edgy as a kid, or maybe it was because red was my favorite color. idk man, even now i gotta admit those designs slap really hard.

i'm not really sure if i have a favorite au now though. i do have some ideas for underfell that i like, but i think i see the appeal of most aus bc i just like making new scenarios.

i like the big three a lot (classic, fell, swap). sans is my favorite in classic (predictable i know) if you're not counting gaster, since he isn't technically a canon character. i like both fell paps and fell sans equally, and swap paps is cool. i'd be buddies with that guy.

(i also really like asgore in undertale. the tragedy of the grief-stricken ruler who kills even though it's against his nature for the freedom of his people but also because he's long past convinced he's in too deep is really compelling to me, and by proxy i'm interested in the theoretical stories of all the fallen humans including frisk. also the whole thing with their broken family and chara and—

—whoops the ask is about aus not canon lmao, sorry!)

[o-sunny-day]

I COOKED A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR @forgettable-au STUFF-

Its not done obviously and I might not ever finish it, but wanted to post it here because of the song being suggested on the blog

god ever since listening to that song- I was listening to it on repeat during class (so has become my routine) THIS popped into my head and I needed to get it down

The main idea is Gaster is extremely care free and kinda melancholy. Him calling Papyrus a “carcass” is the most canon thing I can think of I love it 😭

I imagine this first bit is him fairly recently after falling into the void, he traveled way forwards in time to see what the hell this thing that replaced him was like and found himself to be amused and a ✨CATHARSIS✨ for him

Traveling a bit in time through the eye transition, we see him making the tape recording and putting it in the secret compartment cause I SWEAR THAT WAS ALL HIS DOING. this is gonna age horribly

Then him doing his whole Player business. I think the “I deserve forgetting” is the most raw line ive ever heard in my entire life, BUT THIS IS A LIGHT HEARTED AND NOT ANGSTY PMV SO IM IGNORING THAT

He finds he doesnt much care for how he feels, more what he has to do, which is GET THE PLAYER and do whatever he has planned for Deltarune-

The upsetting part is from the players point of view cause WHAT THE HELL MAN ☹️ I JUST MADE THAT

Then we get to my favorite part of him being content in things ending and him being content where he is, happy, even (PLEASEEE DONT LET THIS AGE HORRIBLY LET MY MAN BE HAPPY 😭)

Another time skip through the eye hole! Flowey and Papyrus have made their way down to the lab and wtf are these recordings, it sounds like someone rambling but its impossible to make out any of the words

then for some reason Flowey gets a weird vision and is like “AYO?? PAPYRUS???” and this is where I ran out of ideas-

Im still working on the You And Me PMV im just bad at focusing-

Forgettable AU + Undertale and Deltarune in general consume my every waking thought (this is a cry for help)

ive been cooking so much not just with this AU this- this comic is SPECIAL IDK HOW OR WHY BUT ITS SPECIAL

[floweycidal]

do you think when flowey was a wee weed and just got into calling himself flowey that he had a kind of embarrassing stage he does not want to talk or even think about where he tried too hard to be the opposite of asriel and it was so obvious everyone could tell it was asriel

BAHAHAHAHA, YOU BET I DO! this is probably going to be as headcanon-y as it gets (kinda), sorry in advance. but really, making him a total sopping wet soggy loser is the best part of writing him. it's my favorite angle, no doubt.

the first month of being "flowey" was an exercise in second-hand embarrassment, except the person you're embarrassed for is yourself. and you can't even leave the room to escape it, because surprise! you are the room. you're a flower. stuck there. living it.

he had it all planned out. goodbye asriel dreemurr, the prince of crying-at-literally-everything, hello to... whatever cool and clever thing he was supposed to become. the details were fuzzy, but he figured being soulless meant the whole "evil" thing would come naturally.

it did not come naturally.

the cracks showed almost immediately. everything he tried just came out wrong. his threats sounded more like worried suggestions. his evil schemes kept accidentally making things better. his idea of entropy was essentially community service with attitude.

he couldn't even get the basics right. he'd tried tossing out sick burns, but they'd just hit with all the impact of a wet napkin. they weren't even insults half the time—just weirdly specific observations that petered off awkwardly.

he sucked at it. no way around it. he sucked ass.

so, he worked harder. determined to sound edgy, bad to the stem—whatever that meant—but it didn’t seem to take. every affront felt more like an accident than an attack. 

and the laugh. god, the laugh. he practiced it, forced it, tried every variation. dry chuckles, derisive cackles, even an exaggerated villain’s howl. none of them worked. what kept slipping out instead was the exact same dorky laugh that used to bubble up when #she would do silly voices during storytime.

this was the worst. he was the worst at being the worst.

his own body double-crossed him at every turn, still running on years of ingrained kindness his mind was trying to stamp out. he'd be right in the middle of his most "menacing" speech yet, really getting into the whole eternal suffering thing, when someone would sneeze.

"bless you!"

every. time.

the number of “villainy” monologues ruined by his automatic politeness was actually impressive. really, it was almost a talent.

it was a drawn-out process, this transformation. no guidebooks or cheat sheets. however... i’d argue the closest thing he had to a mentor here was toriel.

she didn't know it was him. obviously. somehow that made it worse, because she kept almost-recognizing things. little stuff he hadn't managed to burn away yet.

a familiar turn of phrase. how he'd end sentences. that godawful giggle that still sounded too much like pillow forts and frolicking in the mud. how he’d fill glasses, just enough to make them brim above the edge. the efficient way.

each time her eyes would catch on these moments, these tiny betrayals of self, he'd slam that reset button with all six petals. nu-uh, no buckaroo.

her reactions were the compass he followed, pointing to what needed to be carved away. reset after reset, he got better at it. harsher. finer. a little less like the kid who used to run up to her with flower crowns and scraped knees. 

the kindnesses got rarer; the callousness came easier.

never easy enough, though.

she'd still tilt her head sometimes, something glittering in her eyes like she was hearing the first few notes of a song she’d once known by heart. and he'd realize he'd effed up again, let some stupid little piece of asriel show through.

she’d never know she was teaching him how to stop being her son. to her, he was just some weird flower guy that occasionally felt eerily familiar, though she couldn’t quite put her finger on why.

every time she almost intuited something in him, he'd reload, desperate to finally become someone she wouldn't know at all.

ahhhhh. and so it came full circle. in his frenzied bid to unlearn being her child, he was still (by the most bruisingly contorted logic) turning to her for guidance. still just a kid, looking to his mom for answers. just… not in the way either of them would’ve wanted.

[underwaves]

:D there they are!

There are no trees in the ocean o(~( but there is a kelp forest!

Info dump and old designs below

I like to imagine the human using the kelp like a whip or something o(-( slapping everyone with it…hurts more than you’d expect!! Like a wet towel!

Anyway!! I wanted to make Flowey something you can find growing in water- and lotus was the best option!!

It even symbolizes strength and rebirth!!!

Water lily is something different but let’s just combine the two for simplicity.

"The lotus plant’s ability to bloom even in challenging habitats also symbolizes the ability to overcome challenges and adversity. If you look at a patch of lotus leaves sitting atop murky, swampy water, you may think the plants have no chance of producing their enchanting flowers.

However, these plants continually surprise onlookers as they send up stunning lotus flowers despite living in sometimes ugly and harsh environments. When the plants bloom, they remind us that beauty can emerge even when life looks ugly"

When I was doing flower research for Flowey, I was so excited when I got to lotus- I was like!! This is perfect!!! They can grow in even the harshest conditions! Resilience!!! and so inspiring!!! I hope there are people who agree hehe

I also redesigned the deltarune to have a lotus in it c: but I’ll show you it together with Toriel next time!!

Here are their old designs 😭 from 2021!!! 😳 minus naut

The original plan was gonna be the human falling off a boat/yacht and getting pulled under… Hence the sailor outfit!! But I recently decided that I didn’t like it anymore ; 7;;; so I went with something simpler instead!!

The tan lines are my favorite part of the new design for frisk!! I was going to include a little dab of sunscreen on their nose, but it would have gotten washed off...?? (might do it anyway..)

Lotus Flowey was perfect from the beginning ( ´ ▽ ` )

19/OCT/20XX

at some ungodly hour, i woke up on the couch, papyrus sitting beside me.

i tried to get to the kitchen and snag something from the fridge without waking him, but he hopped up the second i set foot in the kitchen.

"...'sup, paps. sorry to wake you."

"HOW ARE YOU FEELING?"

"i'm good. pretty hungry, though."

"I'M GOING TO TAKE IT THAT YOUR LACK OF PUPILS IS.. NOT INTENTIONAL."

"...what?"

"they're gone?"

closed, open.

open, closed.

"nothing?"

"THEY'RE STILL GONE."

"..literally knocked my lights out, huh? weird."

"CAN YOU SEE ALRIGHT?"

"vision's the same."

in the light of the fridge, i could see him anxiously fidgeting.

"i feel fine, so you should go back to sleep."

"just gonna eat and then.."

"..well. can't say i'm very tired anymore, so i guess i'll just hang out. watch tv or something."

"I.."

"I'M NOT TIRED, EITHER!"

"..SO, I'LL ALSO JUST HAVE TO 'HANG OUT' ."

"ok. you want me to grab you anything while i'm here?"

he shook his head.

paps quietly observed me the whole time, but i don't know what for.

kept opening his phone, typing to someone.

"who else is up at this hour to be responding to you?"

"ALPHYS HAS YET TO FALL ASLEEP."

"wanna see if she wants to hang out too? that way we can all be nighttime losers together."

"..EXCLUDING THE LOSERS PART, A SLEEPLESS SLEEPOVER SOUNDS HELPFUL!"

"helpful?"

"FUN. I MEANT FUN."

——

"heya."

"Hey-"

"EEK!!"

"Wh-why are your eyes off?!"

"dunno. woke up with 'em stuck."

"HELLO ALPHYS!"

"Hi, Papyrus."

they exchanged a series of looks whose meanings were lost on me.

"..so whenever you're done with the staring contest, there's blankets here for you, alphys.

"Oh- um, yeah. S-sorry. Thanks, Sans."

——

"ARE THERE REALLY BEINGS UP THERE IN THE SKY??"

"This is show is (very) fake, Papyrus."

"REALLY?"

"what, you don't believe in aliens?"

"I do! What I 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 believe is that they'd visit Earth to draw circles in farmland and steal cows."

"WHY WOULD THEY NEED SO MANY?"

"Exactly!"

"Totally ridiculous."

"maybe they wanna make their own farm."

"But why the crop circles?"

"i'm not one to judge someone's artistic medium."

"What meaning do those hold??"

"PERHAPS THEY ARE SUGGESTING THAT LIFE IS BUT A CIRCLE THAT LOOPS ENDLESSLY."

"........."

"that's crazy talk."

"YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT."

"CIRCLES ARE PROBABLY JUST THEIR FAVORITE SHAPE!"

"I guess that could be true."

"Still, weird place for it."

"maybe they buried treasure."

"THAT'S CRAZY TALK, TOO!!"

"All of this is crazy to begin with."

"true."

——

tori called me, hearing from papyrus that i was awake now.

we got off-topic quickly.

"i think my shirt has a hole in it."

"Would you like for me to lend you another one?"

"...i'll just sew it at some point."

"Hehe, okay. If you say so."

"What a shame, I was looking forward to finding the most embarrassing thing in my closet for you."

"the previous time was intentional?"

"..No! I do not know why you would ever think that."

"i feel less bad about that skeleton-hand shirt, now."

"What a shame it is for you, that I like it so much."

"I have been wearing it to bed as pajamas, since it is not quite appropriate for my little ones to see."

"probably for the best."

if flowey saw it.. my cause of death might suddenly change from 'unknown illness' to 'botany accident'.

"You are sounding a lot less drained today."

"Are you feeling better now?"

"yeah, way better."

"I am glad to hear that."

"Is your eye feeling better, as well?"

"they, uh, don't hurt, anymore...?"

"But, something is different?"

"....."

"nah. they're all good."

"Sans..."

"...."

"If they are 'all good' as you say, you would not mind turning on your camera, would you?"

i stared at the enable camera button on my phone.

it stared back.

"i'm.."

"naked."

"totally bones out-"

"Sans."

"ribs in the open air-"

"𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘴."

"You mentioned your shirt a mere moment ago."

"So unless simply talking to me over the phone was enough to make you strip..."

"Please show me your eyes."

damn it.

"...Please, uncover the camera."

"it's not covered. must be broken."

".........."

the disappointment was loud. i slid my finger off the camera.

"it-"

"this doesn't hurt, at all."

"my sight still works, and-"

"Does that not hinder your ability to express emotion?"

"like i did much of that."

"Sans, a monster's ability to express themselves is one of the most important things they could lose."

"they'll come back. i'll survive without 'em for a while."

"Have you tried doing it manually?"

"like...?"

"Can you use magic to return your pupils?"

"i-"

"Please, just try."

"....ok."

𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸,

....

𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸.

"......"

"anything?"

"Yes!"

"..huh."

had a slight ache in my skull before, but it felt like it got a little better all of a sudden.

"Without your pupils, you have quite the threatening energy about you."

"oh. ..yeah."

"It is nice to see your expressions again!"

"...."

"guess i'll keep doing this, then."

"There is nothing else I should be concerned about, is there?"

"that's it."

"It is easier to tell whether you are being truthful or not!"

"nevermind. i'm turning 'em off."

"Do not!"

"don't need an automatic lie detector on my face."

"It is so nice to see you look my way."

"..if you turned on your camera, i'd have more to look at."

".....Then, give me just a moment."

after about a minute, she returned.

"I apologize. I had to find some pants."

"n-"

"no worries."

tori turned on her camera.

i waited in anticipation as it loaded.

her fur was slightly ruffled, which she also said sorry for.

"I hope you do not mind too much."

"not- not at all. it's cu-"

"uh, looks. looks good."

"You are also looking good, for a skeleton sitting in bed right now."

"thanks. guess that's why they call it beauty sleep."

"It must be!"

——

she stared at me intently, as if trying to memorize my features.

"you're not gonna forget me that quickly, right?"

"Forgetting you would not be easy. I simply wish to have your image as fresh as possible in my mind."

"..You cannot stare back!"

"why not?"

"I am appreciating your candid face."

"...it's hard to stay that way when you're looking at me like that."

tori leaned even closer to the phone.

i covered the camera.

"Awww."

"I suppose I should go back to sleep now, anyway."

"Good night, Sans."

"goodnight, tori."

"....."

"I care for you very much. Please be safe."

"i ..care for you, too."

i stared at the blank phone screen for a while, replaying the call in my mind.

my soul felt like it was gonna jump out of my chest.

eventually gathering myself, i reentered the living room to join papyrus and alphys.

[funkydancingdinosaur]

I think I'm gonna start posting some older art on here that I still like.

So here's my headcanon on Papyrus giving Flowey the bow from the alarm clock dialogue! ^>^

As always further rambles under the cut!

Made this back in 2021, and I still like it a lot. Don't have much time or energy these days since school's been killing me but I certainly miss drawing comics. Figuring out a format was always one of the more fun parts of it all...

Anyway, I've always loved Flowey and Papyrus's friendship. I have a lot of thoughts about them as my first and second favorite UT characters, respectively, lol.

Also I think Papyrus's forgiving nature and belief that anyone can improve even if they themselves don't believe they can is a big reason why Flowey seems to gravitate to him. Despite all of Flowey's posturing, he clearly cares about the guy because:

He keeps the bow

Why else would Flowey be the only person to bother remembering Papyrus favorite food?

Flowey uses his knowledge of the timeline to help Papyrus with predictions and advice. Not to mention, cares enough to encourage and flatter him.

Flowey hardly compliments anyone, if at all, and he still calls Papyrus one of the better characters

My gamers in cube, Papyrus literally started the Flowey Fan Club

Love these guys so much. I could go on forever about both of them <33

[invertedfate]

Hey different anon here, i always thought floweys actions in the canon was supposed to be a kind of dark reflection of the players own actions, and a parallel with how WE treat video games. I never really thought it had anything to do with trauma, cause like think about it, how many players abuse save states in video games to get away with evil shit? Most of them i would wager, and if you had the power to save, load, and reset, maybe you WOULD start to treat even your own reality like a video game.

Like, is it wrong when flowey does these things when we do the same? Because to him its real but to us its just a game or is it ok for him to do so because it really IS a game.

And flowey DID say he also spared everyone, in the same sentence he said he killed everyone, implying both are things he doesnt really place value in doing, he didnt do it for fun, he did it because he got bored, and we do the exact same things in video games when we play one a bunch, we start to experiment, we start seeing how different "npcs" react to different situations, we start making challenges for ourselves, we start analyzing characters and putting way more thought into their actions then the person who wrote them probably did.

When flowey has that power taken away from him, only then does he start to change from this desensitizing and feel intense emotion like rage when you don't do what he wants, or fear when you're about to kill him, both are caused by him not being used to not being in control, he spent so long being the one who gets to "play" the world that he can't accept a world he's not the "player" in.

Another factor might be that not having a soul inhibits his ability to feel empathy, but thats just headcanon, sorry for this long tangent, i just really like flowey, favorite character in undertale, just wanted to express my thoughts since everyones talking about him.

I think from a metatextual level, Flowey 100% is meant to be a dark mirror of the player, which is likely why his full backstory is only given in geno, since at that point you're treading a similar path as him if you go all the way on that route. That being said, I don't think there's a lack of trauma. At the end of the day, the buttercup plan involved watching his best friend/sibling die, said sibling sharing control of his transformed body (which is implied to be VERY unsettling in appearance), his refusal to take a single SOUL, which led to his death, and then awakening in a new form, unable to connect to others the way he used to and assuming he was broken as a result of it. He did try to take his own life, after all, and only came back from it because he got scared and his determination brought him back. His power allowed him to avoid consequences and grow detached, of course, but there is absolutely room to read trauma as a PART of how he got to be this way. Not the sole factor, but a pretty significant one, especially if you interpret his loss of compassion as an undiagnosed PTSD symptom misunderstood due to toxic positivity culture among monsters. e.g. this idea that their souls are made of love, hope, and compassion and that makes them different/better than humans. Considering how many monsters force smiles to deal with their pain, I legit this mindset is super harmful to all monsters and they might not even realize it. Flowey is a great and complex character, and losing his abilities definitely also impacted his actions, for sure. I definitely am not a fan of the immense woobification of Asriel in the fandom, like, at all, and it's part of why this arc in IF is taking its time to do more character exploration and stuff since in UT, a lot of his depth is locked behind a route the game actively doesn't want you playing.

Monster High Skullector Nightmare Before Christmas Review Part 1 of 2

I don’t know how I managed to snag one for my friend and me on that poorly done and hellish drop (it was also my first time I have ever tried ordering two Skullectors), but they came in and I finally had time to review my set.

The hand painted prototypes on the front of the box are so lovely (especially Sally’s delicate eyebrows and blush that are missing on her final doll).

The back of the box sleeve: “J ❤️ S True Love Never Dies. Debuting in the fan-favorite film, Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, Pumpkin King Jack Skellington and dreamer Sally embark on a wild misadventure that capture the spirit of Halloween, Christmas and true love. This collector doll pack celebrates the moment that Jack and Sally realize they’re meant to be together forever. Dressed in a boospoke suit with a frightening skeleton print. Jack is ready for a haunting night with Sally, who is dressed in a creeptastic off-shoulder dress with a petrifying patchwork print.

The defrightful collector item captures the nightmarish fun that awaits every night in Halloween Town.”

……I always thought their romance was a bit slap dashed at the very end, but they are a hauntingly lovely couple.

Their box with the sleeve off! It’s a very lovey set up. With the gate from the graveyard being shown, Zero (which I would have gladly traded for Sally’s purse), and a tombstone that has Frankie’s symbols, and the Monster High crest.

The back of the box has another lovely photo of the dolls. I like the lighting on them in this photo.

I like how they made the artwork all scratchy and hatchy like Tim Burton’s art style. They also added some snowflakes, skulletes, Draculaura’s bat symbols, and a heart with Clawdeen’s G1 shirt pattern.

Okay, enough of the box! Let’s open this sucker up!

……anyone else feeling a draft……?

Well apparently Jack has too much booty for his pants to be fully closed in the back when they were packaging him. Haha!

More under the cut:

The inside panel, sans the plastic and Jack and Sally. I love that they included the Spiral Hill, two trees featuring Halloween Town and the Valentine’s Day Town doorways (although the hinges seem to be missing), and Sally’s basket to Jack (something else that I would have preferred over her thread purse).

A closer look at the trees in the corner. Clever choices in trees: one representing Halloween and the other the love between the characters.

Okay dokey, now onto Sally. I thought I was going to like her less than Jack in this set, but she is actually a GORGEOUS doll.

How they did her eyes, her eyelashes, her face stitching, and even her cooler blue body stitching is just so lovely. I AM SO GLAD they did not give her “regular monster high eyes.” I love it when the designers experiment and give their ghouls, boos, and mansters new looks while still calling back to their roots (she might have the Tim Burton inspired eyes, but her proportions are all Monster High). Her hair is also a really soft (Saran….?). It’s not overly red or brown, but a nice mix of the two.

Her stitching has been simplified, which is a shame, but expected. Her right arm should have had her stitches moved down, but I really like the stitching they kept on her legs and chest and neck.

I actually like her mermaid gown more than I thought I would (Monster High really needs to try some new silhouettes). There is actual thread stitching going down the center of her top and around the collar. The spider-web like lace is also very soft and flowey and not at all stiff. The green skullete on her skirt is also not super distracting. It also lays very nicely around her shoulders and bust.

While the gown looks nice on her, I have seen cooler looking fan created dress/outfit designs for Sally than what they have here….but it does have some details I was just expecting to be printed on.

Her shoes are nicely detailed (duh, it’s Monster High), with the stitches in them looking like they’re actually pulling the different segments together (like movie Sally’s stitches do). The heels are a reference to some of the potions/ingredients that Sally uses in the movie.

The font looks spot on, while the outside of the jars have been simplified.

The soles of her shoes have more of that scratching ink pen texture that Tim Burton seems so fond of.

I first thought she had a dead opossum/rat on her head band (like in the movie), but it actually is made up of vines, and several of the flowers Sally picks in the movie that foretells the future of Jack’s Christmas to her.

Her bag is definitely a slightly altered model of G2 Beast Pets Frankie’s purse (on another note, I find it a fun coincidence that G2 Frankie has blue-ish stitches like Sally does). In my opinion, it is the weakest of her pieces….why couldn’t we have gotten Zero with that extra plastic?!? Mattel loves putting pets where they don’t belong in Barbie and other Monster High releases, why not this one (the answer is probably the extra cost of Jack’s new head and body sculpt).

Her earrings are black cats, and look fairly similar to the black cat that shows up in the movie.

Her body color is a much stronger blue than I originally thought (I was thinking it would be closer to G1 Frankie, Scarah, or Lagoona’s). But it looks closer to G3 Frankie’s.

The second and last part of my review will feature a close up of Sally’s head sculpt and a full review of Jack, as I ran out of space for pictures here.

[the-white-soul]

Hey, umm I just got here and I'm a bit confused? Could I maybe get a summary?

VERY sorry if this bothers you, I'm just trying to understand what's happening...

Spoilers for all of my blog.

No sweat dude! A long time ago Kara (Kris if you didn't know) was part of a weird route in the third chapter killing their family and everyone else in their world. They learned about the Omega dimension and then decided to never let anyone get killed by players ever again. They used to be ruthless and almost wanted to kill, but after convincing from Flowey, (@justanechoflower) they changed their ways. They still hate all players but now they know that some players can be good and all they want to do is get rid of the ones that do serious genocide and even then all they're doing is stopping them from playing the game. Now though they've been more focused on a few certain universes. They used to have a Clover who was the single biggest monster hater in existence but they died at the hands of @thehumanofjustice-and-basil (just Clover, not Basil). Also, they used to be in love with Noelle but she died and now while having an attraction to Dess doesn't really want to be in a relationship with her. Now, they are trying to save this universe from monster haters and protesters who hate the monsters because of the bad Clover dying and the other six dying. Wow, I put all that down as a loose summary and it's still ginormous. I left out a lot! If you have any other questions about the blog please ask. This one summary took 20 minutes to achieve.

(Edit) Dess is Noelle disguised

(Edit 2) One of the protesters is actually Chara's father Jack who abused them as a child causing them to want to leave for the underground. They are also the head of the prison that ends up keeping Asgore and Sans kidnapped and they end up dying by Frisk's hands. Frisk is a kid who's grown mean since they are the ambassador but lightens up to Flowey ending up having a 'secret relationship' that almost everyone knows about. Frisk dances with Flowey ending in one of my all-time favorite drawings ever by @justanechoflower. Also, in the prison, if they aren't free Asgore and Sans quick enough they'll both die. Then they march on the prison and that's where we are now. I'll tell you the results.

Alright, finally getting to those other Ask(s) I said I would do. First of all, really awesome to come back here and see more NemaTale updates! Already in Ch5, and if my count is correct, if you count the prologue. With all the Comic parts released you are either almost at 100 parts, are at 100 parts, or a bit over 100 parts. Either way, Nematale is around 100 comic parts released and that is awesome! More in other Ask(s). Sorry.

You don't have to apologize at all for long/multiple asks! I LOVE analyses of my work, and it's so fun to interact with people who've read it and have questions/theories/what have you! I'm just going to put my answers, and the subsequent asks, under the read more on this post, so it doesn't get too long for people's dashes :)

Yes, it is so fun to be posting again as well! Gosh, that's crazy to think about--so many parts, but also so many individual pages! I've learned a TON from making this comic, the first thing being that it really is NEVER the wrong time to start a comic haha. I have grown LEAPS and bounds as an artist and a person since starting this comic, and I never would have grown in that way if I hadn't just started making the comic even when I didn't know much about anatomy, or color, or even digital drawing in general! So every part I've released is just evidence to me of my own growth and accomplishment. My degree is in publishing, and someday I would love to print NemaTale in several volumes because I LOVE having physical copies of my work and I want to celebrate how far I've come! That might not be for a little while though.

YES that crossover comic by @xjunjox was SUCH a sweet surprise! It's crazy, because I had not read any of Spirit (which is a wonderful, completed Undertale comic for the uninitiated of you) until AFTER I finished making Chapter 2 of NemaTale, which means Nema's design was totally set and I'd drawn her several hundred times, and then one day I went on deviantArt and was like "ooh, an Undertale comic with a female OC? She's freaking adorable AND BLONDE?? OH SHE'S SO SWEET--" and now that's one of my favorite UT comics :)) 💙💙

Similarly with The First Human, I think SO highly of @brittninja ! Marine is an EXCELLENT character, and Britt's art is phenomenal. We haven't interacted much in a while, but I'm so pleased that so many people are reading her comic! She deserves every bit of her audience and more🩵🩵

Anyway, all that to say, it is so fun how we have ended up with characters that have similar designs, yet they behave so differently when presented with certain choices! I love what you said about how you can tell why each character has the SOUL type they have. For me, Nema's soul type being kindness was very intentional, and I 100% agree with the reasoning behind both Fae and Marine's soul colors. I think you learn a lot about a character from the choices they make when presented with a certain situation. It's also important to note that all those soul traits have their own strengths and weaknesses! The comic will go into this more as we get further in, but if you'll indulge me: one of the reasons I chose kindness as Nema's soul trait was that I find it to be fascinating and sometimes contradictory. She can be kind to a fault, but...how does she do at letting people see the real her? How does she react when no matter what she does, someone simply does not like her?

How good is she, really, at being kind to herself? 💚💚

(I cut out the first part of the next question regarding Sans, Flowey, Karma, and LV/EXP, because I wanted to make a separate post regarding my thoughts! I hope that's okay. I'll answer the rest here!)

Flowey is definitely a tricky guy! Fun fact, an early draft of Chapter 5 had Flowey visiting Nema to taunt her, not Sans. It was actually a last-minute change because I realized that provided a LOT more dramatic tension for the narrative, plus who doesn't love a good Sans and Flowey interaction? It was the perfect pinch point for Flowey to show up and...sow the seeds of discord, heheh.

whoops, think I was just possessed by the spirit of Sans there for a second, my apologies. :3

I tried and tried to upload this screenshot as it was originally sent to me, but for some reason one of those words just came out...corrupted. Sorry about that! I'm sure it's fine!

Thank you for the compliment! I'm really proud of how that chapter cover turned out, it really evokes the feeling that I wanted this chapter to have. Some of the scenes coming up in this chapter are my favorite in the whole comic so far, so I'm excited to share them with you all!

That's the great thing about siblings, they're always down to kick you in the butt when you're being a jerk! And who knows what Sans is thinking or planning? That monster's an enigma...

Your comment about Nema being sad and guilt-driven makes me so happy, that was exactly what I was trying to get across! We don't know all of her motivations or backstory yet, but you are right on the money with one thing: Nema doesn't think very highly of herself. (Hence her saying to Flowey in Chapter One, "I'm nobody...")

My favorite thing to write is complicated and occasionally toxic relationships! Is Nema really the best person to help the underground? How can she help them, really? These are important questions to ask...and ones we might not get a full answer to for a good long while, haha! I know, I'm the worst >:)

Thanks for sending these messages! I loved getting to dig down deep and answer them all. Hope you have a great holiday, and the same for everyone who celebrates! :)

[o-sunny-day]

….ok so ( @forgettable-au go read it. its so good.)

this is one of those rare times where not even visuals can explain exactly the feelings because holy shit

I WAS RIGHT.

I AM MATPAT!!!!!!!! HOLY FUCKING SHIT I WAS SO RIGHT ABOUT SO MUCH SHIT AND HOLY SHIT???????????

ok ok ok ok ok

gonna attempt to break this down in a comprehensible way that also isnt as long as the bible (probably will be but, stick with me here.)

Saw this and FIRST OF ALL, LOVE THE ART, LOVE HIS MANNERISMS IN GENERAL, HES SO AWESOME, I LOVE HIM

And also “HA I KNEW IT!!! THIS IS GONNA BE A LOT ABOUT THE TAPE!” pretty obvious but like- let me have my victory

second of all AAAAAA! AAAAAAA! ECHO FLOWER?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! ON HIS DESK!!!!! WHYYY???? HES SO SILLYY???? 😭😭😭

He definitely comes across to me as the kind of guy who would talk to himself a lot cause he…doesnt…really….talktoanyonelse- BUT YAY! CONFIRMED!

also “or C……” STOP STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR GODAMN SENTENCES *shaking wingdings*

FINISH THE THOUGHT

Biggest part here that had me stunned was…

I was right. about the tape….

“Establish connection” with T H E P L A Y E R

“Beyond the surface” is O U R W O R L D.

“HEAVEN”

I WAS RIGHT RRAAAAHHHH

(also dude not, this is not heaven dawg, Turn back you don’t wanna be here😭)

BUT THEN THE SILLIES!! AWWWWW

DUDE. SANS. YOUR BRO IS GOING THROUGH SOME SHIT YOU HAVE NO IDEA 😭😭 hes probably telling a stupid joke about a bar

and this is the last time we ever see them being happy ever again 😌

dawg you have no fucking clue

AND I WAS RIGHT!!!!!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, I WILL BE RECEIVING MY REWARD,

also just crying that Wingdings and Alphys call each other “Dr” and not just by their names because wingdings doesn’t really see Alphys as anything more than a work colleague so Alphys in turn doesnt feel like getting too comfortable ‘round him

finale:

OPEN MOUTH!🫵OPEN MOUTH!🫵

PAPYRUS

I MISSED YOU YOU STUPID(smart) GOOFBALL I LOVE YOU SO MUCH😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

AAUUUUGGHHHH OH MY GOD THIS WAS JUST FEEDING MY EGO AND ME GAPING AT THE SCREEN THE WHOLE TIME 😭😭😭 I WAS RIGHT!!! IT WAS ABOUT THE TAPE, THE TAPE WAS GASTER, THE THING WAS SET UP BY GASTER(maybe), AND FLOWEY AND PAPYRUS ARE GONNA GO INTO THE UNDERGROUND LIKE HANDPLATES GOING INTO THE LAB TO JOG THEIR MEMORIES STYLE!!!!

Hope it doesnt end up how that did though…

oh also new Discord pfp just dropped

BUT JUST AAAAUUUGHHHHHH GOD

I dont have any theories cause this was all just confirmation like “mhm, yep, and yep :3”

all I have are feelings on WINGDINGSSSSSSSSSS, CAUSE…. GOD I LOVE HIM SO MUCH 😭😭😭

THIS MAN.

Right now, hes filled with so much joy and whimsy …..and thats just all gonna go down the drain… :(

These moments/lines are probably my favorite just because… THEY FILL ME WITH JOY!!! HES SUCH A NERD. HES FILLED WITH JOY. AND WHIMSY!!!!! HES HAVING FUN

*GASP* ROLL CREDITS!!!!!!!!

My favorite part of Forgettable is when Wingdings forgets and Sans forgets and Alphys forgets and…. and…… uhm…… what- uhhhhh what were the other characters names? uhm… uhhhhh…. uh… Forget….uhm…

For the writing asks: M, J, B!

M - whats the weirdest scenario/au you've come up with? Have you actually written it?

Oh my god this is hard bc like how do you define weird. I think I've gotta give the shoutout to my long-running No Magic au of my original fiction, which is where i put all my really self indulgent wish fulfillment stuff for my ocs that wouldn't work in canon, purely because the implication that their lives would have been so much better if magic didn't exist is really funny. Also because in the no magic au Dezzy keeps on with her career in the theater and so I get to imagine all the shows she would have been in. If it weren't for all the magic. I havent written any of this bc there isnt a plot to the no magic au its just vibes. Like half of it is just me imagining the kind of twitter discourse there would be about my ocs if they were famous.

J - whats your favorite trope? Have you written it?

I loooove soulmate aus sorry im bad aromantic representation but they r so good... Like okay just to be a hater for a second but I think a lot of people are really unfair when they talk about soulmate aus and it's soooo clear they've never read any. Like it's actually pretty common to have aro characters and explore the aro experience in soulmate aus (altho theyre usually side characters) like if you don't like reading romance in general yeah its not gonna be your thing but in my experience the complaint that its insta-love or some kind of existential horror that forces potential aro people into relationships is just completely baseless. People will say "i would only read soulmate aus if they explored xyz" and then list things which are major themes in like sixty percent of soulmate fic. Ppl who write soulmate aus aren't idiots. They are in fact aware of and capable of addressing the Implications. The Implications are actually half the fun.

Anyways hater moment over. Yes I have! DM soulmate au is very precious to me. Like Daniel and Armand are literally soulmates you don't get it. Normal IWTV is already a soulmate au. To me.

B - what was the first fandom you read fic in? Wrote fic in?

Oh god I think the first fandom I read fic for was Undertale way back in the day. They had some diabolical shit going on in that fandom. And I don't even mean like sex stuff undertale fic writers loved just absolute nightmare angst fics. Flowey is Not a Good Life Coach fucked me up. Really good tho 10/10 do not regret.

And then the first time I ever wrote fic was for Wolf 359 because the finale fucked me up and i just lay awake in bed for like a week with that fic on a loop in my mind until i finally got up and wrote it lol. Actually very funny hypocrisy on my part because i saw a poll of least favorite fanfic tags and was almost gonna vote fix-it fics and yet my first fanfic WAS a fix-it fic..... Anyways i mostly dont read fix-it fics bc i like messy endings and my wolf 359 fic was a "goddamnit you do NOT get the clean separation of dying, get back here and answer for your fucking crimes" fic.

Hello!

uhhh, obligatory profile post i guess, I don't know i've only been here for a few days

welcome to my blog, i am Prema Melody, also known as auk. i am a mostly digital artist who is an avid fan of Wings of Fire, Earthbound/Mother, Sonic the Hedgehog and a couple of others as well as dragons in general!

i don't know exactly what i'll be sharing here yet, for now it's just wof ocs and au bits, i'll probably figure it out eventually

SONAAAAAAA

art tag!

art sprints - 45 minute drawings of pokemon in the art sprint event that i partake in a pmd server. mostly kop lore with some base pmd ocs and general mon designs.

other general posts

thing that made me wheeze

writinggg

stuff I saved

tutorial stuff

palettes

spoopy corner - my favorite pokemon just some content of it. this grows bigger eventually

kingdom of pokemon - inspirations of wings of fire, warrior cats, and other societal animal books to a pokemon world slightly set in pmd where no humans exist...or at least can reach them. they created multiple kingdoms, a recipe bound for conflicts

wof extension au - an au where ocs are made to be as close to canon as possible and fill in some canonical lore gaps

wof design posts - bunches of wof designs

past your runtime - an undertale au where the true pacifist route doesn't end properly and is instead left to run on forever, almost.

purple & green - ut au covering hcs of the green and purple soul and their time in the underground

uty surviving death - clover completely escapes flowey's sight in his mind causing an endless chase as clover tries to regain parts of himself to face flowey again

md nothing good lasts forever - formerly known as the md happy future, mdnglf au is based around a slightly different ending where uzi wholly becomes a new type of solver and its first host, the original one still being present around. for a while it was unable to grab another host due to uzi registering most as under her administration, though as time goes on many drones go unchecked and ones open for a new admin begin to appear. doc here

murder drones wings of fire au - md but wings of fire

murder drones encore au - like the wof extension au this au adds to the existing murder drones universe, specifically in factions that include characters

splatoon thingy

alterbound - a collection of a couple of mother aus i have, 1 per game

the current vibe:

*M/A! Gives Flowey some Frisk Tea and Chara Tea!* So this is quite interesting! (Name) Teas are a special drink that will always taste like whatever the drinker most associates with the person the tea is named after, and the more the drinker likes that person, the better it will taste (and thus the more it will heal)! Normally (Name) Teas are only found in this magic otherworld but I pulled some strings (anon magic) to get you some over here! Hope you enjoy! (And tell us what it tastes like and what you think, I wanna know)

(Don't worry. It's not made out of whoever it's named after...I think. Addisons can be a little weird sometimes! Also if someone already got you some, I apologize for likely rehashing the lengthy explanation but I hope you can enjoy some more tea anyway)

And...I don't think Chara can eat or drink but I'll pass them some tea just in case *M/A! Gives Chara some Frisk Tea and Flowey Tea!*

"Hi...so, I was originally extremely reluctant to try this, but then Frisk went and tried it even after I told them not to, but they said they really enjoyed it and changed my mind, so, today, I'm going to drink this weird magic tea... strangely this isn't the first time I've had something like this,"

"Anyways, I'm going to knock the obviously difficult one out first and try Chara's tea,"

Flowey sips it and it looks like everything is going fine but then-

He lets out an upset sound of alarm and begins to cry, putting the tea back on the table with a trembling clatter, rushing to wipe his eyes.

"At first it was fine! Good even! It tasted like fancy dark chocolate! One of their favorites- but then it got even more bitter and kind of acrid and weirdly lemony and then I remembered how they told me how the buttercups tasted and...now I'm CRYING! Damn it all!"

"Is this part of it? Frisk's tea didn't make them cry....I guess this is what having trauma on top of trauma has gotten me,"

"Ugh, I'm just going to go ahead and try their tea, hopefully it won't make me cry too...,"

Flowey takes a sip of the Frisk tea and...takes his time.

"Heheh...it's really good, it tastes like how their favorite shampoo smells, like a sweet coconut drink, but it also tastes like a vanilla ice cream sundae with caramel syrup, maybe there's a little bit of cinnamon in there???"

He then sighs and looks sadly at Chara's tea with guilt.

"And....I guess I'll let Frisk have the rest of the Chara tea, I don't have the nerve to finish it, but Frisk said theirs tasted like minty cocoa, lucky... ,"

"And as for Chara...I put it on a tray for them, but the cups are still full, I can't tell if they can't drink it.. or... if they just don't want to conform,"
