#flowey needs to interact with EVERYONE in the main cast

[mar64ds]

we know flowey is upset that toriel takes care of other kids but how do you think he thinks about undyne, asgore being almost a father figure to her and all of that, is it a similar resentment....?

Hey, if you don’t mind the question. What’s your opinion on Undertale Yellow?

8/10 game. pretty good at being a game, not so much at being an undertale story. the gameplay itself was fun, the area/puzzle designs too, the soundtrack was untouchable it literally gave me the same rush i felt hearing sburb initiation for the first time. minor NPCs designs were fun but the primary cast was too monotonous, tbh. (all the main characters have tall gangly very detailed designs save for like, axis). its attempts at landing Undertale's humor were quite often successful, but it held back on exaggeration and caricaturing its original characters which took away that oomph from the canon game. the character writing was... lacking. which is a pity.

i love fucked up women so i was really disappointed that every single one of ceroba's actions/ideas/influences on the story were nothing but an extension of her dead husband. when you take chujin away she's just... A Good Wife and Mother. or starlo's past love interest ig. i mean both dalv and martlet's backstory were tied to her family and we never see them interact at all. but they do have an established dynamic.... with the dead husband. again. UGH. she's just really wasted as a character (she and chujin should've BOTH been scientists and she should've continued the project AGAINST his wishes after he died. she's the main cast character, she should be the driving force in the narrative, not him—even if chujin sets the plot in montion by inventing the serum first).

I'm not a huge asgore fan—not that i dislike him, he's just not a character i care about all that much—so congrats to this game for making me say "he would NOT fucking say that". the "fuck the royals" subplot thing was really unnecessary. actually, that was a bit of a recurring thing in the game. suddenly introducing these Huge Social Dilemmas like labor exploitation, anti-monarchic sentiments, misogyny (bro who on earth "needs to take a wife" this is Undertale) everyone realizing that clover is a child, over exaggerating the violence at stake... while also attempting to maintain Undertale's careless, bouncy treatment of the situation. that's... not how things work. undertale is able to maintain its light tone BECAUSE it doesn't let you take those topics seriously, they're not meant to be. the fairytale-like king, the battles, the child protagonist, they're all set dressings for the REAL story and REAL power imbalance it wants to highlight: that between player and game characters. everything is in function of that. you take that layer of separation and make everyone aware that theyre violently attacking and killing a literal child... that's not. a good thing dude. if it's not gonna impact the tone of the story, why acknowledge it in the first place? it's just unnecessary

anyway flowey neutral run was really, really fun. his dialogue writing all throughout the game was very solid and i had a blast having him around. however, they shouldn't have tried to anticipate his character development. this game is a prequel, you can't do that without undermining his arc in the canon events. pacifist should've had him doubling down on his frustration from the neutral ending. i do all this work for you keeping you alive and you make the same mistake i did sacrifice yourself for them??? are you BRAINDEAD???? what I'm saying is he basically should've thrown the biggest tantrum of his LIFE. oh and in the NM run he should've been terrified when he lost control of the SAVE file. this is the first time it's ever happened to him and now he's gonna die for good. he wouldn't have gloated like he did.

if you want to hear more criticism along the lines of what i said then this post by the fantastic @andreabandrea covers a lot of what i also felt during the game. i know this might sound like a lot of negativity, but the fact remains that UTY was an absolutely phenomenal work of fan creativity the likes of which we have never seen before in the fandom. considering the quality and polish, i thought it only fair to approach it as the piece of art it is and give it my genuine thoughts on the matter.

overall, still a really fun way to spend the afternoon with a pal. so. thumbs up

The fact that the majority of "Undertale Multiverse" stuff consists solely of Sanses and Sans-inspired characters will always be extremely funny to me.

Funny in... a bit of a disappointing way, actually.

Like, where's the multiverse exploring versions of Undyne, the one monster that actual is able to have and use determination in her own body? Make her a true hero for monsters, humans, everyone everywhere!

Alphys, a character that literally mentions "alternate universes" by term in Undertale. What if she researched that further? What if she found out how to interact with the multiverse? (and she's literally the one out of the main cast of monsters that survive a murder run before the world is erased)

Papyrus, who is aware of Sans being able to prank you "ACROSS TIME AND SPACE". He already knows a bit more than he lets on a lot of the time. And I guess he's also actually the funni bone man's fuckin' brother for god's sake (and is one of only two characters in the game that mention that exact phrase of "across time and space", the other being a Gaster Follower)

All three of them even mention meta stuff, in the form of explaining controls to you. (Papyrus telling you to hold up, Undyne telling you to face up, Alphys telling you to press Z)

Papyrus and Undyne are also the two monsters that mention that you look familiar after a reset.

Where's the Frisks (every day I'm thankful we have CORE!Frisk), Charas, and Asriels (and Floweys)? All three of them have a very important role in Undertale. So why not expand on that more?

Take Toriel's role as a caretaker or Asgore's role of a leader and expand on that throughout the multiverse!

We need more well-known Undertale Multiverse characters that aren't just Sanses

So I have Ideas now for an AU Concept from this image alone Bear with me.

Imagine Betatale (an Au I heard about with everyone looking and Acting Like their Beta Selves) but like Ts!Underswap.

Sounds ridiculous but Hear me out. Imagine in this reality The Monster Human War happened but Monsterkind Population was Cut in half: The criminals, who were Banished into the titular Mountain and Underground. And the Innocents those who wished to not provoke war and Signed documents saying they only wish for peace and all that Jazz. The Innocent monsters get to live their days on the surface with Humans which include a Sentient Sword and an Enby Teenager named Frisk.

The pair have a Dynamic that’s a Mix of Susie and Kris, Koffin-K and TS Chara, and Zoro and Mihawk. Pair of Dumbasses that like to Spar and put on a Show. One day the sword, Let’s call them Lam (pronounced like Lamb minus the B) and Frisk feel weirdly Drawn to the mountain Frisk more then Lam and decide to go explore it inevitably Falling in the Hole and that’s where the Story Begins.

The Characters in Undertale are like their Official Counterparts albeit a Bit Distorted specifically on their level of hate towards Humanity.

Absolutely Depsises Humanity: Most NPC Monsters that aren’t of the main Cast, The Ghosts not including Mettaton, Muffet, RG1&2, Grillby.

Neutral on Humanity: Asgore, Sans, Flowey, Gerson and the other shopkeepers, Gaster, Alphys (but you could say that about her and talking to literally anyone but the monsters closest to her like Sans Undyne And Mettaton), and NPC’s in New Home and Ruins.

Like Humanity: Undyne (She thinks they are really cool cause of Anime but still follows her duty as a Royal Guard), Papyrus, Some Members of Mettatons fan club (aka like 4 Hotland NPC’s), Mettaton himself, Mad Mew Mew (Character development/Mad Dummy wants a Round Two in this reality) Toriel.

Depends on the Individual to List: The UTY cast (Depends on what Beta Clover did. Does not include Chujin as I feel like he’s more neutral in this Beta Reality), Suzy (will cement herself in liking humanity after meeting Frisk), The Gaster Followers, Red (I don’t care I will count her as well), Temmies, Kappy (aka Kount Koffin-K but before He became a Bad Guy but since there is no Crossbones there can’t be a Kount so his “Beta” is him pre Super villainy. It’s my AU concept and I can add whoever I want Bite Me), Harry and Larry, Asriel, Chara, Kris (This one is a kind of a Joke but also I think Canonically Kris would try and get some Monster Scientists to make a Human to Monster Hormone Replacement Therapy Treatment. So thats what they would be doing in this Beta Reality and are a separate entity to Frisk)

Other things would include frisk having the unused Magic Action thanks to Lam, The time this would take would be during a Festival happening in the Underground, Robots 98 and 100 being part of a Robotics line Alphys Makes based on the Axis Line of the Late Chujin serving to help Repair the Core when Needed though they mostly just mess around, there would be like 28 other Robots to be seen ranging from 14-700 with a Gaster follower one being labeled 666, and Frisk’s Journey would be to Figure out what Catalyzed the Human monster war and unravel a several Century conspiracy of who actually started it, and if Half of Monsterkind deserved to be Banished.

Also it would be split into a few “Chapters” with a Prologue in the Town Frisk come from interacting with the Humans and Monsters living there getting some context to this reality. Each chapter is dedicated to each Zone and there would be multiple endings much like OG Undertale

Also why they are Friends with a Talking Sword Monster…that one stray pixel makes it look like it has an Eye and a random Tumblr Post gave me that Idea.

I spent a good while on this hope yall enjoyed reading

People were drawing Hero in their style on Twitter. I joined. That is all

[leshyleaf]

Ok I replayed all of deltarune again so silly deltarune theory time!

(I dont peruse tumblr all that much so sorry if someone already posted about this specifically)

so we’re all very heartbroken about the lack of papyrus in chapter 2, right (at least I am). Basically, I’m just very curious about what Sans’s little brother is gonna be like. ((It’s not even confirmed to be papyrus, but considering that they are sans’s little bro, and of course, the trousle you trigger when you knock on their door, it’s gotta be highly likely lol.

I’m almost positive he is going to be a teen, as it would be weird for sans to schedule a hangout with someone much younger or much older than Kris.

Anyway…what If he turns out to be a human?

shut up and hear me out okok

I think it would be really interesting!! Because

We’d get to interact with another living human for the first time in the utdr verse

It would be a really cool character/family parallel to Kris and their situation…I’m not sure how to put it eloquently, but one of the many themes in deltarune/undertale seems to be that feeling…of being a bit of an outsider in your own family/among your friends ((I mean, kris used to want to be a monster when they were little, I’m sure to “fit in”; they even wore little monster horns…and the town members seem to regard them as a bit of a weirdo)) ALSO, there was a really dope theory post about Susie being from a human/town family that explained a lot about her/her actions.

And this “outsider feeling” I think fits papyrus well…he doesn’t have many friends; he’s a bit brash, loud, clearly neurodivergent…and is just. Lonely. Sometimes I forget how lonely he is. In deltarune, sans tells you that he really needs more friends, so I’m sure this carries in some degree to deltarune. (I’m glad he seems so happy after the pacifist ending in ut. It warms my heart.) I mean, just check out the Christmas party dialogue.

Anyway, even the library has books on how to take care of humans, (checked out by only toriel, but the brothers just moved here, so.) it just seems like one of those thematic scenarios that Toby might throw us for a loop on.

There is even some dialogue in ut that somewhat, jokingly, goofily, suggests… something.

Not to mention all that “behind-the-ear dabbing” lol

Of course, these might all seem like silly jokes, but Toby has a bit of a habit of disguising real lore with humor (which I’ve always thought was genius.)

“ but this dialogue is from undertale, not deltarune!” Good point, I say, good point. Except NOT

Toby himself said there would be SOME connections, and in my recent replaying of undertale (and farming for river person dialogue), flowey AND riverperson both directly reference the world of deltarune, with flowey showing seam’s eye before his omega flowey fight, while saying (as differentiated from humans and monsters) “EVERYONE.” And river person says “beware the man who comes from the other world” or smth like that (I didn’t get the screenshots for these, sorry lol.) also, sans’s gaster blasters, ofc.

Now. This theory is kind of debunked by well. This

LOL. BUT!!

BUT!

No bones in ch. 2…Just the trousle. (And honestly, the trousle of bones in ch. 1 could just mean nothing, or be just a reference to the name of his theme, or the box of bones he maybe still has ((why did he have that in undertale?? It would actually make more sense for him to have that if he was not?? A skeleton monster?? That could magically produce bones and thereby would not need a box of them for attack use??))

This theory could also somewhat explain the fact that papyrus is the only main cast member that we haven’t seen yet.

I would like to end this theory with a disclaimer [this is just a small crack-y theory haha, I don’t actually think this holds much weight at all, I just thought It was interesting and wanted to share!]

And of course, this famous dialogue from dt.

Oh, and also, some doodles and sprites of human teen paps I did when I was thinking about this bc why not!!

[bekaroth-reads]

thoughts on deltarune and papyrus’ missing status therein

So, I’ve been thinking about Deltarune stuff. Mostly just me rambling, so idk if you would consider it an actual theory of not.

There are plenty of differences in the Undertale and Deltarune stories, like how the monsters are the ones above ground, how different characters interact with each other, etc.

(Also spoilers for Undertale and the first two chapters of Deltarune)

(also another note: this was supposed to just be like a few thoughts, like, three paragraphs tops, but then, as usual, I got carried away.)

One of the main ones though is the age difference between characters and their counterparts. Kris, Deltarune’s version of Undertale’s Frisk, seems to be pre-teen to young teen as opposed a kid somewhere in the 7-10 range. This also goes for monster kid that looks to be older in Deltarune then he was in Undertale, following Kris into the pre-teen age. There is also Bratty and Catty who go from teens to being old enough to have their own families. And, of course Asriel who went from being a child, to being old enough to go to a university out of town, and is said to be about the same age as Bratty and Catty( it could be argued that he would have been about their age in Undertale if he had not been turned into Flowey, etc.)

There is actually another variation of age where some characters, and that’s some of them are younger than their Undertale counterparts. For instance there is Temmi who was old enough to go to “cooleg” in Undertale, but is in Frisk’s class in Deltarune. Or the few that didn’t have a very discernible ages that were made to be about Frisk’s age like Snowdrake.

Another thing to note about is the parallels between the characters and some of the dark world counter parts. For instance, the King is there to help Susie reflect on how she’s treating other people, and the queen is there to help Noelle to learn to stand up to people (and to a minor degree show Birdly how he treats people much like Susie and the King.) Though I don’t have much to base it on, I also get the feeling that the alt bosses are there to represent parts of Frisk that they need to understand and work on.

Jevil showing that they have a problem with controlling themselves sometimes like how Jevil being cast out and locked away for causing problems in his kingdom, and Kris being constantly reminded by his friends and family that they have a problem with taking jokes too far and having little self control with things like eating all the desert in their house before anyone else could have any, scaring Noelle so badly and so often that her family was hesitant to even let them hang out with each other for awhile. Spamton being the feeling of loneliness that they feel now that they are being faced with the consequences of those actions, with Kris feeling like they had been tossed away like trash. The feeling of isolation with Spamton could also be related to them being in a divorced household, and their brother leaving. They used to have someone to help them get through the hard times with that, but with Asriel and Des going to university out of town and Noelle seemingly not hangin out with them much anymore close to when that happened, they were left to handle their parents fighting all by themself. And, while neither Toriel nor Asgore seem like they purposely want to put that pressure on Kris they do still get them involved with things like Asgore using them to try to give their mother flowers to apologize for things, and Toriel doing things like not even using their father’s name, making Frisk feel like they’re basically sneaking behind their parent’s back whenever they want to talk to one or the other.

That idea aside, where I was going with this is that the bosses in the dark world seem to be mirrors or foils to help the main cast of characters see things about themselves and maybe find a way to work on them.

There is one returning character from Undertale, the everyone is begging to see and Toby keeps teasing, and that is none other than Papyrus. This is where the other things I just talked about come into play. As I think that at some point, Papyrus is going to be one of the friends that Kris ends up taking to the dark world, but I don’t think that will happen until one of the later chapters. This is because there might be a good chance that his dark world mirror, or perhaps the alt boss for his section of dark world could be Gaster.

Now, I’m not going to say that even with some of the hints that it’s certain Gaster will be in Deltarune at all. What a lot of people use for proof that he is, is the fact that when you stand by the bunker at the bottom of town, or use your cell in the dark world, it plays noises that sound like the ones that play in the Darker, Darker, yet, Darker sequence(which could been seen as another hint.) While that could be, it could also be Toby Fox reusing sound fonts and existing sound effects to get the point across as well. A instance of him doing this is in chapter 2 there is a mini-game where you pop balloons, and when the balloons pop they make the same noise the heart in Undertale makes when it shatters. Just because he used the same sound effect doesn’t mean that when you pop the balloons in Deltarune, you’re committing mass murder.

But, let’s say that Gaster is indeed in the game. He would make a great mirror for Deltarune’s version of Papyrus. Papyrus in this game seems to be a bit younger than he was in Undertale, though there’s not much solid proof of this. Something that makes it difficult to tell is that he was one of the characters that didn’t have a very definable age in the first one. While most people thought that he was a young adult with an innocent personality, there is the chance that he was always younger than what we thought he was seeing as he still had things like toys, a race car bed, a favorite bed-time story, and believes in Santa. Now, I think he would be a teenager at the youngest, perhaps and older teen around Catty and Bratty’s age, and his interests and hobbies lined up with things considered for people about five to ten years his age and not an adult who’s hobbies tended to be around fifteen to twenty years younger( this is an in general statement. I get people can be into whatever hobbies at whatever age, this just means, like, the people who are generally into certain things like Santa and race car beds.)

Regardless of his age in Undertale, though, there is a good chance that he is closer to Kris’s age in Deltarune. This would hold up as Sans asks Kris to hang out with Papyrus, trying to maybe get his brother friends his own age. And, many younger people, teens especially, don’t handle things like moving to different towns that well. This could be one of the reasons that Papyrus sort of locks himself in his house and won’t talk to anyone but his brother. The lack of confidence could also be a younger Papyrus not being as confident in his abilities to make friends, which was something that he also seemed to struggle with in Undertale; except in the Deltarune world, he doesn’t have his guard duty to keep him active or get him out and about, so he hides away instead. That could be his development in his version of the dark world. The whole thing with Gaster disappearing and feeling like no one can see him could be a reflection on how this Papyrus feels, and going through his adventure could help him be closer to the original Papyrus that we all know and love. We might just have to wait for him, though, as it will take Sans bugging him for a week or so before he finally gives in and decides to hang out with Kris.

Anyways, if you read this, thank you for digging through my word vomit. Again, not really a theory per se, just me thinking (typing) aloud.

[squarefriend]

Mermay ended yesterday, but I’m sitting on the beach at this very moment so let’s fucking do this:

🌴🐬BEACH HEAD CANNONS!!!🐬🌴

Chara

❤️ They are actually rather neutral over the ocean. Far more of a skipping stones and playing in the lake kind of kid. Though, they do have a respect for the water’s raw power and changing tides. (Also seeing how much Undyne loves it made them want to appreciate the ocean more)

❤️ Thanks to being attached to Frisk’s soul, they kinda have to go to the beach all the time now. They like to go out as far as they can and walk along to the bottom, or float above Frisk and try to freak them out.

❤️ All that being said, they ADORE sharks. They nerd out every time they get to go to the aquarium. (Then get kinda embarrassed about it).

❤️ They have (on more than one occasion) convinced Frisk that because they’re a ghost they can see all the ghosts of everyone who’s drowned, and that yes, pirates ARE coming to get them...... It backfired at the notion that now Frisk WANTED to go meet the ghost pirates.

❤️ Had a brief period of wanting to be a mermaid, purely because A) Not a human and B) Typically man eaters. It suited their style

Frisk

❤️ They LOVE the ocean.... or rather, they love the beach. There’s one right at the edge of Ebbott City, so in the summer, they get to go up every weekend or so. And you can bet on that weekend, they have an absolute ball with whomever family/friend took them this time.

❤️ Their favorite part is exploring. They love to run around on the beach, looking for shells or any critters, as well as going out into as deep as the can in the ocean (usually only to be called back by their mom). Speak of the devil, Toriel bought them a snorkeling kit for their gotcha day and that thing has been used religiously ever since!

❤️ Every time they go the the car to go home, Frisk has to be checked by an adult (not either of the skelebros, they are WAY to lenient on this one) to make sure that they don’t have any stow away sea critters. One too many times of Frisk trying to keep a pet crab.

❤️ They take swimming lessons from Undyne! There were only a couple of misunderstandings over wether or not a humans could breathe underwater, but its all been sorted out! They’re doing really well!

❤️ They refuse to learn how to dive. Undyne has been trying to teach them for MONTHS now. It’s cannon ball or nothing, and they’re determined to keep it that way.

Flowey

❤️ Back when he was Asriel, he’d wanted to see the ocean. They don’t exactly have HUGE bodies of water in the underground like that, basically only the river. And no one swims in the river. Add in Chara’s talk of mermaids and their stories about lakes and skipping stones and all that.... It had been a big goal of his. Now that he’s there, and without the capabilities to swim or get in the water, and without the person who said they’d show him the surf.... it’s uh, it’s lost its appeal.

❤️ Frisk and Papyrus tried to get him to go out in one of those dog floaties. It looked pretty ridiculous and nearly tipped over a couple of times. Inevitably it was decided that it was just best to just keep him on the shore or in the shallows strapped to someone’s chest.

❤️ Usually he just sits on the shore with Paps, Frisk, or Toriel. He (begrudgingly) likes to make sand castles. He’s actually gotten quite good at them. Either that or eat nice cream.

❤️ Papyrus made him tiny sunglasses. He wears them every time they go to the beach.

❤️ When he does go into the water, he likes to stick his head under the serf and try to find fish. He actually managed to catch one in his mouth once, both impressive and terrifying.

Toriel

❤️ She is fond of the beach. Not so much the water, but she does enjoy the occasional swim with Frisk. Would probably like going out on a boat, though she has never tried it.

❤️ Usually while the rest of the family swims, she’s on the shore in her beach chair, reading a good book and keeping a watchful eye on her kids. She can usually get through half of the thing before its time to go home.

❤️ That being said, when she does go out in the water (usually to cool off or check on Frisk and/or Flowey) she is remarkably good at floating along. That, and she’s abit of a beast when it comes to X-treme monkey in the middle. That lady is huge and can use that height when she needs to. Also she has to shake off when she gets out of the water.

❤️ She ALWAYS has a beach bag on her, and in that beach bag is pretty much anything you’d ever hope to need. Pool toys, goggles, fresh water, extra sunscreen, at least three books, money, Your scocial security number, you name it.

❤️ Toriel’s usually the go to ‘hold tired swimmer gently’ person. And has done so for everyone in the main cast but Mettaton and Undyne. You could just fall asleep in those big ole’ arms.

Sans

❤️ He’s, as with most things, pretty nuetral about the ocean. Though, he adores the fact that it’s a day he can just slack off and relax in the sun (and sometimes water). He’s usually on the beach in a beach chair or sitting in a pool floaty, just drifting along. Sometimes he’s just latched onto Paps or Toriel, it’s kinda a wild card where he is at any given time.

❤️ He has never been sober ONCE while at the beach with the family. Mostly thanks to the fact that he somehow always has a martini in hand. No one knows where he gets it, let alone how it is almost always at least half way full. Needless to say, he’s at least buzzed by the end of the day.

❤️ Every time they go to the beach, he wears the most insane sunglasses. I’m talking Elton John style, but if they came from dollar tree. Normally it’s a pineapple pair, but they change on a whim. Once again, no ones entirely sure where they come from.

❤️ He briefly moved the illegal hotdog stand to beach, before the threat of getting fined was close enough to scadattle. This, the limited addition ‘Colddogs’ (now for 5g, wait he meant 50g, actually its 500-) became a thing. They were followed shortly by ‘Frozendogs’ (available in 50 flavors!)

❤️ The two never breathe a word of it, but every once in awhile Papyrus will rent a canoe and the two of them will go out on the water. They only do this at the dead of night, when the water is still and clear. Way out past the buoys, where it’s hard to see the shore, the moon and the stars bounce off the water in a shifting, funhouse esc reflection. Being out there, together, in practically silence..... It brings a lot of comfort to the two of them. It reminds Sans that yeah, this is real, and some things are worth remembering.

Papyrus

❤️ Paps is very fond of the shallows, but not a huge fan off big, open water. Unless he’s in the comfort of a canoe or boat. It’s just too big of a space. One can feel so... alone out there. But!! If he’s in chest or higher or with a group of close friends, he’s good!!

❤️ He bought special spandex gloves to wear in the water, ones that cover his fingers and palms without being skin (bone???) tight. They help him tread the water better, since he’s the opposite of buoyant. Which is definitely the only reason he bought them! No other reason in sight! Why would you even ask that?!

❤️ He, Undyne, and Frisk play ALOT of beach games, all far more extreme than their originals. The current turnomemt is over X-Treme volleyball, this time featuring antigravity magic and spears. Frisk is, somehow, winning.

❤️ A good portion of the time, he eats nice cream and makes sand castles with Flowey. Their creations are startlingly structurally sound and flourished. Though, they are also usually next to a life sized sand-Papyrus. No one knows where the sand came from.

❤️ He tried catch and realease shark fishing with Undyne once. It um, got interesting to say the least. Especially when they tried to use Papyrus as live bait. They only had to go to the ER twice!

Undyne (Aka my entire reason for writing this)

❤️ Undyne doesn’t love the ocean. She doesn’t even like the ocean. She ADORES the ocean. You can find her there almost every day after work, sun or storm. She never realized how much she would thrive in salt water until she was there, and now she can’t believe she lived without it. Its so raw and passionate and buetiful, and she’s just at home in the waves.

❤️ Her favorite time to be out is during a good storm, when the ocean is at her roughest. Undyne has learned how to boogie board and body surf since she got on the surface, and uses those huge waves to catch some air. She WANTS to learn how to surf, but has yet to find someone to teach her. Storms are also the best for letting the water roll over her and letting herself drift in the tides, both are pretty damn amazing feelings.

❤️ Because she can breathe and see under the water, she also likes to swim out really deep into the open ocean. No one in the family can follow, but it gives her a lot of time to think. Also, there are sometimes HUGE fish out there, which she greatly enjoys seeing and interacting with. She’s. she’s fought a tiger shark before. And probably other, larger and more dangerous things. (Also when she gets home, Alphys always talks about how her kisses taste like salt. Undyne loves it).

❤️ Before she became Asgore’s body gaurd, Undyne was pretty much out of work. Not a whole lot of people wanted a massive, sharp toothed, she-shark selling retail in their stores. But, being a fish and all, she got managed to get a job as a life gaurd over the summer! This ended in her actually giving swim lessons to a couple of kids (starting with Frisk)!! She is actually a pretty good trainer and still teaches a few kids every once in awhile over summer breaks.

❤️ Her and Asgore went on a fishing trip once! The boat nearly capsized, Undyne ended up going in to fish instead of using the pole, there were life lessons taught about patience, and Asgore got horrendously away sick. Needless to say, it was a good trip. They still have pictures on Asgore’s fridge!

Alphys

❤️ As much as her girlfriend loves it, she’s not actually a huge fan of the water. It’s overwhelming and dries out her scales, and when she’s in super deep it makes her really uncomfortable. She’s stared into oblivion before and, well, it’s not a good feeling. The deep sea reminds her of that.

❤️ That being said, she LOVES the beach itself. She could sun bathe for hours while Undyne is swimming. Just pop on her head phones, lay on the sand, and embrace her lizard heratage! Also, she likes to watch her hot girlfriend do hot things like catch fish in her teeth and throw skeletons, so it’s a win win.

❤️ Naturally, this means a lot of her and Undyne’s date end up at the beach one way or anouther. Every time they go now, Alphy makes a point of collecting a seashell. They all hang on a string over her bed, it’s her favorite part of the room.

❤️ More times than not, if the sand is particularly nice and warm, Alphys falls asleep on it. Like, hard core passed out asleep. She just loves the fluffy parts of the sand so much??? And it’s so comfortable??? And she’s gotten more than afew overheating from sleeping ALL day, but she can’t help herself. It’s just too cozy!

❤️ Her favorite thing about the ocean is always going to be seeing Undyne’s smile though. She loves it. She loves the way her girlfriend’s kisses taste after she’s been in the sea. She loves how content the girl is after a good swim, and how cuddly they get in the living room. She loves smelling the air and holding her hand and seeing the sun on the water. She wants to spend forever in her arms, on the sand, eating nice cream and watching the sun set.

Mettaton

❤️ So. He’s a robot. Alphys is currently working on waterproofing his body, but until then he’s shore bound. That doesn’t mean he won’t done his best sun hat and glasses, steal a life gaurd’s chair, and pose dramatically on the beach though!

❤️ Truth be told, he actually quite enjoys long walks on the beach. His boots are well protected enough to go a way into the water as well, so he takes them sometimes with Alphys. Also, night time on the beach holds SPECTACULAR song writing material! There’s something so inspirational about the atmosphere.

❤️ That being said, summer concerts are the bomb. Litterally. There’s pyrotechnics. He’s not as big a star as he was in the underground, but some local beach performances are well within his pay grade. The thrill of the stage! The cries of the people! The personality and connection to his adoring fans! The one time he crowd surfed! The fashion! It’s all just perfect!

❤️ He also frequents beach side shops, thanks to the atmosphere and outfit selection. One can NEVER go wrong with a floppy hat and a sheer coverup. It’s just impossible.

❤️ He relates WAY too hard to the little mermaid, both in the original story and Disney. There’s just something that hits too close to home about longing for humanity and a new, more comfortable body... He gets Ariel man, he gets her.

Asgore

❤️ He likes to go on long morning walks on the beach alone. There’s something comforting about the sun rise and the sound of the waves rolling around him. There’s something even more sweet about the rare conversations, only lasting a hello and small talk, all few and far between. Sometimes he finds himself wishing he had a dog to walk with him, but in the end decides against it. He’s been alone a long time, he can last one more day.

❤️ He really enjoys going shelling. Sometimes, he even likes to paint his finds and put them up in his windows. Frisk helps him, he likes that.

❤️ He’s become a vollenteer to help find and aid sea turtles’ hatch sites. He loves watching them hatch and get to the sea safely. Though he’s not supposed to, he’ll protect them from the gulls.

❤️ Thanks to being in so close to the sea, he had a brief phase of being rather in love with verities of seaweed and kelps. He tried to keep afew using water tanks, but could never quite get them right. Ah well, at least the petunias and roses are doing nicely.

❤️ He has a hard time reading or watching things about mermaids. They make him sad.

I was thinking about Undertale, which happens very intensely sometimes.

I really do want my S/I to just be plain ol' human me. Because, becaaauuuse, there's something so very real and very me about finding acceptance and love in a group of monsters where I've only found it in a handful of humans before.

I'm very lonely irl. I don't feel like I fit in with humans as a mass, I often say I'm a dragon or some other non-human creature at heart to ease my own discomfort.

And like, I know, I could just make a monster S/I. But I want to be accepted as me by the UT cast. They mean a lot to me, and I've spent most of today thinking of my dynamics with the non-MTT "main cast" (ig) of Undertale.

Alphys and I surprisingly take some time to arrange our boundaries! We don't dislike each other, but we energetically wear each other out with our similar interests and how we express them clashing at first. But one night I stay longer than usual and we get into talking boundaries instead of anime and fandoms, and we start vibing at similar frequencies. At least, we start feeling comfortable flagging the other down when our batteries are low.

Undyne intimidates me in a one-on-one setting for a very long time. She's fit and energetic and I'm very much not?? In a group setting I think she's swell! But alone, I feel self-conscious and nervous that I'm not meeting her energy. That said, I love her and Alphys as a couple and cheer them on very openly.

Frisk and I get along fine, though since I hc Frisk as mute and using sign language, I don't ever interact with Frisk without an interpreter because I don't pretend to know any form of sign language. Frisk is a busy child in this headcanon post-game world, though, what with the super-shared custody and also being ambassador between the monsters and humans.

I think my S/I would be as conflicted about Asgore as I am irl. On one hand, child killing. On the other hand, he did feel bad about it. On yet another hand, didn't stop him from doing it multiple times. On fourth hand, he had a limited data set. On fifth hand, he's kind of pathetic about Toriel. That shouldn't be part of my hands but it is.

Toriel and I would be dangerous in that she is wholly too sweet and she'd bake me a pie and I'd cry from her baking me a butterscotch pie because I love butterscotch and then she'd feel bad for making me cry and then I'd feel bad for making her feel bad and have no way to make up for it. I need crispy Deltarune Toriel, but also I don't want the Deltarune versions of any of these characters because they're all sadder.

I don't count Flowey in this headcanon world because he would not try to interact with humans besides Frisk, probably? If he did, I dunno, I think I'd just call him an asshole. Everyone would explain the whole story to me, I'd nod and process everything, and be sad for a while for the poor thing... then still call him an asshole.

I left Sans and Papyrus for last for a very good reason.

[In real life, it's important to note, I have a closet comfort cosplay of Sans. Complete with a cloth mask for his grin.]

I want to be so comfortable and close with the skelebros that I'm practically an honorary skelebro myself. I want to have a heart-to-heart with Sans where I say "I wish I was more like you." and he gets uncharacteristically somber and says "Don't say that, Rem. You don't wanna be like me." And he's looking away and on the far wall I see a blue glow as if he's emitting light a mere foot away from me. I want to make human-style pasta and have Papyrus crash through the door only to go "Why aren't you screaming? You should AT THE VERY LEAST be screaming"

Like, I'm highly considering adding Sans and Papyrus as familial F/Os after all the thinking I've done today because it just feels so comforting to be like "they're like brothers to me :)"

YokaiFell {Red X Frisk; Frans}

🌼Here is all the lore/ story for YokaiFell! This is one of my favorites so I hope you enjoy. It is pretty long as all of these are. If you like what I do please reblog to share it around! After my post earlier today I need to get away. I am doing my best and you know. It still hurts. Thank you to everyone that has reached out and said kind things. I will put a “keep reading” divider after a certain point as there are spoilers for the story. If you want to read the whole plot then be my guest but I want to put that warning. 

Alternate “Nicknames” Info: 

Sans: Ryutsuki (Ryou) 龍月 Papyrus: Kuro  黒

Yokai Masterlist:

Ryou- Kitsune (Kitsune Ebi- Shou & Rin)

Kuro- Gashadokuro

Doomfanger- Maneki neko (a variation of the bakeneko this kind brings good luck and fortune which I thought would be cute for the brothers. Hilariously Doomy was with Boss before he died coughs. Doomy is kind of like that cricket in Mulan supposed to be lucky but... questionable.)

Flowey: I am unsure if I am planning on putting Flowey in this or just have him as Asriel. Either way, he would most likely resemble the higanbana. These are also Red’s flower of choice, which is…ironic if you know the language of flowers.

The Dreemurrs: (this is a hard one. There are no Yokai as far as I can recall that are goat like, however there are some good candidates that could work. I have a few in mind right now and that is the kotobuki, hakutaku, shisa, Kirin or even the baku.

Undyne: Uni nyobo

Alphys: Honengyo (This is kind of the “Godzilla” idea she would just be mini XD)

Muffet: Jorogumo

Grillby: Onibi (this is a strange one because he would have to be a combination of onibi for this to work but don’t worry I am on it!)

Gerson: Kappa/ Genbu (due to his wisdom)

*{The lesser monsters would be a variation of yokai not exactly pertaining to their UT counterparts unless I can make that connection. The Underground/ Underworld, in this case, it basically the spirit realm so it’s not really necessary. They are not exactly trapped like in the original.}

Main Plot Synop:  Frisk is a foreigner trying to start a new life across the world in Japan. It is also modern day (I settled on Izumo). The people she moves to live among tell Frisk of their traditions and stories but her being from the West she has a hard time understanding. Frisk is told not to stay out too late and wander the nearby forest but hey who listens to reason? She ends up getting lost, alone, and afraid. That is until a series of flame like lights presumably show her the way back to the town. This happens a few times but she becomes more and more curious by them until they lead her deeper into the forest. She comes upon the entrance of an abandoned shrine stopping before a Torii Gate as the lights disappear. These are kitsunebi by the way. Only when she is hesitant to pass through it, do they appear on the opposite side. 

She ends up being startled by a white-haired human that seems to have just appeared out of thin air. He tries to speak to her but she barely understands the language if only a few words. In frustration, the stranger steals a kiss from the shell shocked human girl only for her to suddenly be able to understand what he is saying. A still highly confused Frisk ends up learning that he is, in fact, a demon or rather her interpretation since she is from the West.

It turns out that in order to give her the ability for her to understand him a dose of his magic was required changing the physical makeup of her soul causing it to become desirable to other hungry yokai that roam both the spirit realm as well as the night. Not believing his claim and rather angry at his sudden advance she storms off heading back toward the village. She begins to see more than she should as spirits appear out of the woodwork.

An oni appears in front of her ready to devour the poor unsuspecting human in which she ends up running back to the gate in order to avoid the giant monster. At first, Ryou is not interested in saving the human girl but it is his fault that she has ended up in this situation. He saves her but not before she ends up accidentally running through the Torii Gate attempting to dodge an attack. The beast follows and Frisk ends up trapped in the spirit realm when the monster destroys the gateway. Kuro, Ryou’s older brother makes quick work of the beast.   

The rest of the story revolves around Frisk trying to return home which requires a journey since a human does not belong in their realm and the gate to “leave” is on the opposite side of the realm. It is incredibly dangerous for someone like her to be there so she ends up in disguise with the help of Grillby and Red. Red is a kitsune so he is able to create the perfect illusion adding more magic to her soul to fool it into being a yokai. He is surprised to find she is the same kind as him, a kitsune. 

Their journey takes them all the way across the spirit realm to find another gate and on the way, they run into a colorful cast of characters. Some are helpful spirits. Others are man-eating demons that are looking for a delicious human soul to devour. At first, Frisk is content staying with the brothers but a human does not belong in their realm and that causes complications. 

Yokai Lore/ Spirit Realm world: The spirit realm is a dangerous place that few humans have ever set their eyes on. It the world between. A space that is home to various yokai. Humans cannot naturally see spirits as the modern setting has diminished the humans that still believe in them. They are not trapped but rather there is a hierarchy that is established. The more powerful the yokai the more they are able to interact with the human realm. 

Hierarchy brief explanation (restrictions and interactions): 

Servants of the gods- Yokai that can interact with the human world during the day or whenever they see fit. They are messengers for their respective deities. They are not known to be troublesome or mischievous. 

Kitsune- A more rare type of yokai that can shift its appearance at will but mostly represented by that of a multi-tailed fox. Some of them are servants of the gods but those who have no alignment can walk among the living during the day for a duration of time. When the night comes they can walk freely and interact with humans as they see fit. They are mostly known for luring humans away with kitsune ebi or foxfire.

“Boss” Yokai- Yokai gain their status by either specific species or their prestige. That can either be obtained by LV gain or doing favors for the gods. Some are hostile and some are passive it depends on the encounter. They can walk freely during the night without hindrance but unlike the two prior they cannot take form during the day. 

“Lesser?” Yokai- Yokai that are relatively weak and unable to hold a physical form in the human realm. They can move objects and possibly possess humans but they have no ability to interact on a substantial level. They can be seen by some humans as little dancing and vanishing lights. They can rarely pass the barrier as is.  

Lost souls- Lost spirits that wander between realms. They cannot interact with humans but can be seen from time to time. They are what the west consider the typical ghost.

Human Struggles Info {Plot}:

A human does not belong in their realm which also means that the world is also an enemy. The power of the soul plays a huge factor in this as weak souls are more susceptible to the worlds influence. There are three different outcomes that are possible for a human if they end up trapped in the spirit realm. 

Dinner is served-  A large number of yokai are known for their man-eating tendencies finding human souls and flesh a kind of delicacy. Some are beasts that kill for pleasure but a humans worst outcome is being eaten or killed. 

You’re one of us now- A strong human soul slowly can be changed. The soul decides what kind of yokai that human can become or will become. It is entirely possible that most of the yokai were once human but it is unknown. They are usually lesser yokai or spirits.   

Lost soul- What the title implies. A soul unable to remember who they were. They wander for the rest of eternity searching for answers they will never receive. They are miserable creatures that pull others into their fate. Their depression is infectious and anyone already questioning themselves could easily find themselves among their ranks. They are not malicious only confused and desperate.  

Symptoms of becoming a Lost Soul: 

Confusion

Memory loss

Random emotional response

Physical weakness/ fatigue 

SPOILERS BELOW FOR THE MAIN STORY

Relationship {Plot}:

Ryou and Frisk become close for a reason that they are both unsure about. They could be soul mates or his magic that is embedded in her soul begins to spread making her have feelings for him. Either way, her love for him never wavers. A human can never fall in love with a yokai. It is not only forbidden but also very dangerous. *whoops* Their soul bond only grows stronger as their outward feelings increase. They spend the night together not understanding the consequences of that kind of action.

Unfortunately, Frisk begins to show symptoms that her soul is not powerful enough for this world and she begins to lose herself and forget. In desperation, Ryou and Kuro make the decision to travel all the way to the end of the realm to get her back to the human world. When they get there she has a choice. She can stay and become a lost soul for the rest of eternity or leave and forget everything about them. Since Ryou and Frisk are soul bound she would feel loneliness for the rest of her life unable to understand why. It is like losing a part of yourself. It hurts but she chooses the second option returning to the human world a little bit changed from before.

Epilogue {Plot}:

Though Frisk has forgotten about her soul mate and her time spent in the spirit realm she still has these feelings. She finds herself spending more and more time peacefully sitting by the gate or in the forests surrounding her home. It is calming and peaceful for her. What is even more curious is her new condition. She finds out by some miraculous way (not really she just doesn’t remember) that she is pregnant. When she has her children she finds them as normal children for the longest time until they turn 10. They start seeing things that they shouldn’t including dancing among little fire like lights that she swears she has seen before. She could swear she sometimes sees little fox creatures dancing in the flames. A trick of the light...right? 

Frisk doesn’t know but Ryou’s ability to walk in the human realm has him visiting his children and her even though she is unable to see him any longer. Sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night feeling like someone is there. A kind of warmth that leaves her feeling cold when it’s gone. Her two children begin to show physical signs of being yokai including little fox ears and tails which she does not seem to question. It feels right to her for some inexplicable reason. Her children eventually see their father through the gate one day and Frisk is hesitant to step through it (for obvious reasons). She follows her children only to leave the human world behind once more meeting a stranger that to her is not so strange. Her memory slowly returns with Ryou’s help and they live happily together with their kids. It turns out that giving birth to two yokai children strengthened her soul from before giving her the ability to stay and become a yokai herself. As before she becomes a kitsune. Yay happy Kitsune family.

[skelimagines]

Alright, here we go.

because some people wanted it, I’m going to ramble about at least 11 of my 12 AUs {one’s just the fell version of another so not a large ramble there} in order of which I thought of them. {I also would prefer any questions about them to be sent to @the-lightest-shadow} ~Mod Feral

{My} Amalgamitetale

Excluding Asriel dying, the story to pre-Frisk is very similar. Up until Alphys tests the Determination, that is. Y’see, in this universe, the effects of Determination take a lot longer. So much so that Alphys was able to feel confidant in both letting the original subjects go and got to be part of the brainstorming that led monster to believe if every monster has Determination, maybe they can slip through the barrier.

By the time they knew the consequences, every monster that could arrive got injected with Determination. {Really, the only upside to this outcome was that there’s not an overpopulation problem anymore}. There were only 3 humans to fall between Chara and Frisk, but since the monsters don’t want to leave anymore because of their condition, they let the humans go.

Our main cast of the underground is Poltergust {mostly The Blook family}, Toxic Fuzz {mainly Toriel, Asriel, and flowers}, Bone Mass {Mostly Sans, Papyrus, and Gaster}, Double Scale {Mainly Alphys and Undyne} and Final King {Mainly Asgore. Smallest Amalgamite in size}

The AU has a lot of unnecessary atmosphere in my mind. I have shared the prototype designs a while ago here

Feraltale

My namesake and the main one I focus on. All monsters are a little more ‘monstrous’ in appearance, and a lot more instinct-based in actions. There’s a lot of little personality differences to everyone too that I’ll get more into in the comic I’m making for it. One big thing, however, is that some, like Flowey, have unexplainable abilities that they don’t actually have in the canon game.

There also were a lot of negative thoughts that humans have that have branched from the stories that became popular on the surface. Think you usual stories about monsters from before the internet, double there amount, and make a few worse.

The majority of this AU’s facts can be found both at @feral-tale-au and in the feraltale tag here

Feralfell

The fell version of Feraltale. Not too much different in main description besides, well, just that. It’s a more violent and, surprisingly, more dangerous world. I’d need to draw the designs for the characters for me to properly describe what’s different.

Pyrotale

To start off the explanation of this one, it’ll start with that it’s influenced by this song right here. I also think I’d have an easier time describing it via a pre-game story of sorts.

“Long ago, two races ruled the Earth: Humans and Monsters.

One day, war broke out between the two races. In the midst of the battle, someone discovered that monsters were more flammable than a normal creature, and the humans used that to their advantage.

Fires roaring, they managed to chase the remaining monsters underground and seal them with a powerful spell.

Many years later, the fires on the surface still burn on occasion. The world monsters once knew and that humans fought to have had changed...

Mount Ebott

Those who climb it haven’t ever returned.”

All of the fallen humans, even Chara and Frisk, had some sort of mask on to filter out the smoke and ash. In fact, it’s required children where such items on the surface. The in-game story and the monster designs are no different than with the canon for the most part. The differences come in both how you kill monsters in a Genocide route {catching them on fire and making the underground burn} and the fact you have two choices at the end of the Pure Pacifist route.

Nameless

The creative reason for the name of this AU is that “the story we are covering remains... Nameless�� but the real reason, tbqh, is that I just called it my ‘Nameless AU’ so much that it stuck.

This AU runs off of the thought of “What if, for one reason or another, Frisk wasn’t the last fallen human. What if they never climbed Mount Ebott and some other child did?”

I decided that what would happen in that, without a human to show the monsters that humans can be good and caring and helpful, without a human that reminds Flowey of his conscious, when the monsters are finally freed, the planned war gets going.

It’s now 5 years after the monsters got out. Every now and then they still fight with the humans on a full-scale war. The area around Ebott has been labeled as monster country and humans avoid it when they can. Papyrus is overly emotional because his dream job isn’t what he thought, Toriel is running dangerously low on hope, and many others seem to have lost themselves.

One young adult decides to revisit their old home, despite the warnings.

Originally, I was going to have this a semi-ask blog AU, similar to AFAC, but I don’t have the energy for that.

Memorytale

This is a very simple, straightforward one to describe: “What if the ones who remember resets and the ones who didn’t flipped?”

Basically, and because of the logic this AU uses, Flowey, Frisk, and Sans don’t remember past timelines, but everyone else does. The problem? The last timeline was a Genocide one, but Frisk doesn’t remember that and is going Pacifist.

Envytale

Like with Pyrotale, this one was influenced by a song. This time it’s this song right here.

Humans who fell previously weren’t killed and just live in areas of the capital you don’t visit. Chara lived for a long time and ultimately died about 3 years before Frisk fell. Everyone grew very attached and fond of Chara and can’t help but compare Frisk to Chara.

Frisk first gets jealous, which evolves into envy, which then becomes violent rage.

This is a Genocide route only story idea that has the final boss be Asriel and not Sans, but you still fight Sans and he’s still extremely hard {just not as hard as in canon}

RWBYtale

I nice mix/crossover AU of RoosterTeeth’s RWBY and Undertale. It focuses more on a team {Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, Toriel} than Frisk. Most of the main cast from Undertale that I have set to appear are Faunus, with the exceptions of Frisk, Sans, Papyrus, and Mettaton.

I mainly made this as a way to have fun thinking of weapons, outfits, and for Soriel reasons when it came to main focus, but Mod God kinda sorta started to co-own this one with me. ;;

Incomplete

This one’s title is this because “Incompletetale” just sounds weird to me and I don’t want to use a different word.

This is a Chara-focused AU based off of this song right here. After dying, Chara realizes no one can see them. They figure this has to do with the fact that their SOUL consists of two oddly sized shards. No one can see them, that is, until the second fallen child. The child saw Chara while dying and reached out. The second contact was made a strange pulse went through Chara and the child died, their Green SOUL leaving their body.

Except the SOUL was missing a shard, and the shard had been added to Chara’s.

Fast forward to Frisk falling, and Chara has forgotten who they are, because they hold the memories of the other fallen children. For Frisk and the monsters, nothing’s different for a Neutral Route. It’s the Pure Pacifist and Genocide Routes that are different. Including your final fight being a form of Chara.

For Pure Pacifist, you have The Ultimate Child Angel, a form of Chara as a result of all of the human SOUL shards reuniting with their SOULs, including the tiny, dust-sized ones of Charas that were found in the monsters. Frisk’s goal, remind Chara of who they are, allowing them to free the underground.

For Genocide, however, you have to deal with True Demon Chara, a Chara that’s the result of monster dust and SOUL fragments filling the last of their missing pieces. They remember who they are right as Frisk kills Sans, and they aren’t going to let them go through with their plan of annihilation.

Legend of Eclopp

What started out as a design only thing of me using this pony generator to make pony versions of Undertale characters became an AU.

I have a full outline in my head, but ultimately it’s just rewriting the official Undertale story to work with the MLP universe. I wish I could say more but there’s not a lot to say on this one unprovoked.

I do have the designs shared over here, though.

Stories After the Dust

This is the most WIP-y of the bunch, but it’s going to be a fanfic style AU where I take the concept of Ghost Whisperer and make it into a multi-AU story with Undertale.

Frisk is able to talk to the dead, and works very, very hard to help them. Being one of the only people who can see monster’s spirits, they get a lot of those instead of humans.

In my mind I only have the Fell one thought out completely. I’ll be able to do the other 3 {Swap, Classic, and Swapfell} after I decide who I want dead in them.

Undersight

When I first was working on this, I just wanted designs. Designs that came to me while I was listening to creepypasta or other horrors. It went from a design only one to a full AU.

Monsters have always had a rough time getting along with humans, but this is because, for some reason, monsters can only interact with humans normal if either A), they have enough humans that try to befriend them B), they have a human SOUL or C), they’re a child. The way they must interact may change with circumstance, but it’s rare when they can break that without filling the above requirements.

However, when the sealing underground happened, one of the wizards actually had a close connection with monster-kind, and, instead of using their power to put the final bit of strength to the barrier, they made a second barrier around the area of Mount Ebott. Monsters could now slip into the main area around Ebott, but not leave that. In fact, nothing could leave that area; only barrier A {the one sealing monsters in the underground for the most part} could be broken. When it breaks, so does barrier B.

Not any human SOUL can break the barrier, however. Only bright, powerful, single-colored SOULs can. These are rare. On top of that, the barriers make it to where monsters are even more limited in how to interact with humans.

When a human climbs Mount Ebott and falls underground, almost every monster goes rushing in and, depending on where the human is and what the monster’s interaction limits are, try to get the human to show their SOUL, and then decide what to do after. Some kill the humans, and some expose them to so much magic that, because they have the weaker SOUL type for humans, causes their SOUL to change shape and turn the human into a monster.

I have the designs for almost everyone made as well as a vague-a poem for this that I haven’t shared anywhere yet. Very Creepypasta-esque in atmosphere and storytelling hopefully.

There we go. That’s all of them for the time being. I hope you all enjoyed and, like I said before, please send any questions involving these AUs to @the-lightest-shadow or, if it’s Feraltale/Feralfell related, to @feral-tale-au. Thanks for reading! ~Mod Feral signing off again just in case
