#gaster sans variant

[mimicsapprentice]

Write's Lore / backstory ~!! (Copy pasted from discord messages so please excuse the cadence + formatting)(+ lack of proofreading)(+ my tentative grasp on Ink lore)

Write is a G!Ink! More specifically, he's a ZephyrTale!Gaster + Ink fusion.... heheheheheh >:3 He, for anyone who doesn't know, is one if Ink's canon (adoptive) Dads! Which ahhh is a source of great evil in my mind ehehehe

Enough being vague about making evil choices though! The main gist of what happens is a is of a 'what if' off that 1 Ink comic in which Z!Gaster ended up dusting. Based just on that & no other lore it's a 'what if' Ink reacted differently.

In the canon one, Ink accepted thats just how the script played out (even if it emotionally killed him to do so he just Couldn't do anything about it in case he upset the Creators). In this it kind of pushed him too far? No matter how scared he was, no matter how much he tried to rationalise it he... just couldn't. He could not, no. Would not, accept the death of his Father. It was to cruel of a joke to play...

So! Rather than uh trying to stop Undertop!Gaster, his other Dad & Z!G's partner, from doing anything about it? He helped him. With the combination of T!G's ability to manipulate code + In's knowledge of scripts & Creators, surely they could bring him back? Not just A Z!Gaster. The one the both knew and loved....

However! And this is a big however! Things didn't quite go to plan :) Look. I'm not sure exactly what went wrong, because i'm not sure exactly how they were trying to do it, but rather than coming back as his own person? His got fused into/with Ink, probably destabilising ZephyrTop and having other Consequences™️ that they never could have predicted.

I feel like part of the theme of their MV is actually like ummmm defying Creator's wishes? Like the characters themselves deciding they don't want to do as they're told? Taking back control of their own lives.... Fuelled by this 1 choice made by a grieving Ink :)

Soo they just ever so slightly ruined their own MV and made it a little unstable..... but it's still around! Still okay (as it can be).

While not what either of them wanted, at least they did get him back... in a way. Write is having a bit of a weird time about it tbh??? Since he's kind of no longer Ink nor Z!Gaster? He doesn't really remember being either, just left with echos of who they were. If you knew either, or both, you can see bits of them living on in Write. He hates it when you point out the bits of him that come from them though. Hates not being seen as his own person, as an individual more than the sum of his parts. Seeing as he is id own person, with his own thoughts and feelings about things.

He's fully aware of how he came to be and uh heavily disapproves of it though..... He, kinda, understands they were grieving but look what they've done? He never asked to be made? Never asked for this, never wanted this. Yet he is the one stuck cleaning up the pieces of who he used to be. The consequence of actions he was never the one to make...

He does function as this MVs guardian of creativity, since he is still part Ink. Begrudgingly though. This wasn't made for this duty yet he still carries it on his shoulders, how typical. He has access to Ink's powers & abilities, better than Ink himself ever actually did. Since he no longer needs his focus (Broomie) to reach his full ability, even if he does still use them. It's not Broomie's fault he's in this mess after all. It would be rude to abandon him.

He also no longer entirely relies on the vials. Without them his emotions are muted, barely there and hard to understand. However, he still retains conciseness and control without them. He prefers who he is on them but can be worse than Ink about forgetting to take them since it won't 'kill' him not to. Catch 22. 

Bonus: That feeling when you & your dad try to resurrect you other dad who's dead but it goes poorly 😔  I'm not super sure what his role in his MV is or his connections to other characters yet? I just know this is where he comes from and that he's a lot more..... sad & pessimistic than either of his originators 😅  Probably just as self-isolating as Z!G was though... 🤔

Dust finds a dying human soldier.

Scene from chapter 1 of the fanfic “The Lone Defender” on ao3 by @sophtopus

[wr-n]

Some ideas I have bouncing around my brain at light speed:

Dream chasing after Nightmare while breaking apart

The idea that all the Bad Sanses had a crush on Grillby at some point as Classic and totally DON'T still have one

Sanster but, like, Gaster is legitimately crazy and Sans is his babysitter keeping him from going completely off the rails on the Core project (Asgore begged him, please Sans he can't stop getting complaints about his royal scientist causing explosions and he refuses to be fired-)

My Variant Cross whimpering to himself because XGaster won't stop taking over his body and demanding that they start conquering AUs again (a whole Jekyll and Hyde situation)

[capricioussun]

Posted that too early lol anyways while I continue chipping away at stuff, does anyone have any questions about any of my outcode guys? Like Comet, Wingdings, Dos, etc etc

🧡 This is a weekly blog, which means art will be posted once a week! The idea for this came to me from a simple fun pun about daily character blogs.

💛This blog is solely focused on the character Ink!Sans and it's content will reflect such statement. Drawings will be posted weekly, "in which day of the week" is a question that will greatly vary.

🤍Drawing requests will be accepted! You can request any Ink variants (like pale, dreamswap!ink, underverse! ink, etc....) and other AU characters ( such as Core!Frisk, Undertop!Gaster etc...) to interact with Ink!Sans. Headcanon requests are also allowed!

🩵The art found here will mostly consist of traditional material and pixel art. Quality may tend to vary between finished drawings and simple fun doodles.

Ok, but in all honesty, I find it funny how similar Dust and Crosses story are

Cross n Dust both killed their entire AU, trying to stop something out of their own control.

Cross n Dust wanted to protect the people they loved the most.

Cross n Dust were both blinded by their own selfishness to see through their wrong doings.

Cross n Dust both struggle to communicate or express what they want.

Cross n Dust both don't know what life they want to lead.

They're both pathetic in their own ways but still intertwine in their choices.

And yet, Cross was the only one given more than one path. He was given more chances to find a place he belongs in. People cared about him more.

He was wanted.

Dust wasn't.

Don't get him wrong. He doesn't want to be saved. But he does wonder why no one had tried. Why no one had attempted to even throw a chocolate bar at him for some support, to give some hope, just something to tell him he's not alone in this.

Sure, you could argue that they seen the many variants of Cross pass through. He bonded with more people through these times.

But then why wouldn't they want to save a variant of the classic sans that they all love? The one who is the start of many people's stories. Why would they leave him to suffer with nothing left to defend? They don't know this specific variant, but they didn't know the specific Cross we know either. It was just a familiar face.

Oh, because they don't want to interfere? There isn't anything left to mess with, no other people. The player would've quit a long time ago, and that would mean that the timeline no longer serves a purpose. There won't be an impact on the timeline if you took the only thing existing in it. Leaving him to torture himself instead of bringing him into an omega timeline, seriously?

Oh, but he's a murderer! So what? Cross was tormenting and destroying/stealing parts of AU's, and they still let him into the omega timeline. He eliminated his entire AU and wiped it clean. Wouldn't that be more threatening than a guy who just killed only his(small) kind and not the global population?

Idk, I just think Dust would notice this and be absolutely pissed. Especially with how Cross views himself and the people around him. Cross is basically taking things that Dust can only dream of for granted. He says he doesn't have a home, but he doesn't understand what a home truly is. And Dust can't understand what makes him so special. Was it because X Gaster wanted to use him as some chess piece while Dust was a discarded tissue? Are people's lives truly dependent on what they can do over who they are.

Dust genuinely doesn't know. He feels betrayed by those who don't even know him. Dust is full of hate that there isn't any hope to see in a life other than crime. Crosses existence only solidifies that idea. After all, who would support him? Killer wouldn't. He isn't even sure Horror knows who he is. It's not like he would want him to. He doesn't need someone else to tell him how they'd have lived his life. How they would do something smarter. He's tired of people thinking they're better than him. When all of them are just hypocrites.

Anyways, sorry if I misspelled or made anything sound weird

Skibidi crumbs OUT!!

[orbital-inclination]

Moltendreams - Error Sans Alias - Static Pronouns: he/him, they/them Personality: Petty, holds a mean grudge, Big Tsundere, Complete Shut-in, Quick Tempered and Moody, fanatic with his interests, externally aggressive when in actuality he is quite shy. An absolute troll. His favorite passtime is messing with others. Paradoxically touch starved and suffers from haphephobia. Reckless with his own well being.

This variant of Error is capable of both love and compassion, he just hides it under a grumpy exterior and several layers of denial and self-destructive dogma. Other Notes:

Reluctant to harm Papyrus directly, though Static can't articulate why, and will generally avoid encounters Papyrus in any given AU.

Had a good relationship with his dad/W.D Gaster, actually.

Relates to "pest" pets; rats, mice, snakes, spiders, beetles, he loves them all.

Would have a pet rat of his own if he wasn't afraid of it shocking itself by chewing on his wires.

His favorite kind of chocolate is mixed with a hazelnut filling.

Views Frisk as a younger sibling.

Into Parkour.

-More Info undercut! -

Abilities: Static uses wire instead of string. Wire and summoned attacks can and do hold an electric charge. His presence alone messes with electronic devices. Residents of a particular AU may get a few minutes or seconds of warning as sweaters get staticy, computer screens glitch out, and anything with a battery spontaneously dies or gets super charged. By creating a circle of alternating RED and CYAN bones, Static creates a sort of reverse faraday cage. While Static can produce electricity, he can't directly control the voltage. He can only hope to direct it. The voltage of a charge is directly influenced by his emotional state. If you touch him, you will find his clothes zappy with static. Do NOT attempt to fight him in humid or watery environments for, hopefully, obvious reasons.

About: Static originates from a pre-Pacifist timeline that was followed by a looping Genocide Route. Through repetitive iterations, and an escalating instability in the timeline, the monsters of the underground began to recall events they didn't witness and memories they shouldn't recall.

Working together, Static, at that point still Sans, and Alphys were able to pin point the root cause of their timeline's instability. They made a plan to save the underground and separate Frisk from the Anomaly but when it came time to execute their plan something went catastrophically wrong. As a result Sans was torn from reality, and caught in the space in-between. Eventually, he escaped but not unscathed. Static has vague conflicting memories of his past, and to this day, questions if any of it was real. He can't find his original AU and secretly fears it may have been the first world he destroyed. He is still looking for it.

Outcode Politics: Static views all outcodes the same way he views every iteration of the original timeline that even slightly deviates: as glitches to be terminated. Bugs in the code he needs to hammer out before it all goes to hell. Static believes that by destroying deviating timelines and AUs, he is preserving the stability of the original. He is “saving’’ it from corruption by trimming the branches back. Despite his position as the self proclaimed Destroyer, Static is not above biases and making exceptions. 

Static includes himself on his long list of glitches in the code to be terminated. Static has a different view on the Spirits of Creation that Fable/Ink does. (Spirits of Creation are the in-universe term and stand-in for the creator of an AU). He calls them eldritch parasites. Abominations that should be avoided at all costs. And absolutely should not be encouraged or interacted with. Though he won't admit it out loud, Static is terrified of them. OG Error @.LoverofPiggies/CrayonQueen) Moltendreams @.me Edit: he has been named! Edit 2: revised his profile a bit

[rannnem]

i drew some humanplates! I feel like instead of drilling plates into their hands, gaster would tattoo them and implant a chip into their hands or something, cause you can't really drill into skin.

I definitely want to draw more of humanplates, the skeles themselves are so expressive so the human versions are probably even more. also mercyplates too, both variants.

handplates is by @zarla-s

edit: totally didn't realise while drawing this but Sans' tattoo is upside down :/

[sabianandocs]

10/10 Gaster lore! We definitely do wanna hear about the skelebros too! (Especially Papyrus!... or maybe that's just me lol)

Okay okay here I go (sorry this took forever)

Sort of chronological story stuff?

When Sans and Papyrus were first displaced by Gaster's dissolution into the fiber of the universe, Papyrus was only 11. He'd been homeschooled by his now unknown father, so he had a solid understanding of all the concepts he should have by that age- with a lot of oddly in depth science knowledge and a distinct lack of social knowledge (Something the whole family seems to share)

When the brothers moved to Snowdin, Sans got Papyrus set up with school and then spent most of his time working to provide for them both. He wasn't a neglectful older brother though, by any means, and even though he spent most of his waking hours earning a living for them, he still managed to support Papyrus in everything he wanted to do. Science fair project? He helped Pap set it up. School play? You bet your ass he was in the front row. Wants to do warrior training? Well, Sans isn't much help with that, but he'll sure try to weasel his way into making connections for it.

Papyrus was always super into puzzles. When he wasn't in school, he followed Sans to work, berated him for not putting enough effort into his puzzles, and then made them himself. (At some point, Sans noticed how happy it made Papyrus to have something to work on and started deliberately making awful and/or low effort puzzles so that Papyrus could fix them)

Papyrus learned about Undyne & the Royal Guard while in school, and obviously decided that the best possible future for himself was joining the royal guard- because everyone was talking about Undyne and nobody was talking to or about him so surely the problem here was just that he needed to be in the Guard so people would know how cool he was.

He waited outside Undyne's house all night to ask to join the guard, and while she appreciated his tenacity, he was still just a kid, and she wasn't going to let a kid join the guard. She did offer to train him in combat, though, and then later how to cook (because he'd get 'ripped into little smiling shreds' if he actually had to enter serious combat). He was insistent on being a part of the guard, though, so to try to mediate that desire she told him that he had to be a Royal Sentry, first, which was a very important and serious role and only the coolest people get to be sentries. Papyrus believes this wholeheartedly because, well, his brother is a sentry, and he's pretty cool.

So Papyrus made it his goal to sort of 'climb the ladder' of Royal Guard positions until he could become an official member. Sans and Undyne are both secretly hoping they can find some way to divert his passion to something else before he starts getting suspicious of their plans to keep him out of serious combat.

Papyrus Headcanons!

Papyrus has bad vision- I've seen this HC go around a lot, and I have to agree. Specifically, I think he has a lot of trouble seeing things far away and focusing on small text. He doesn't realize that this isn't normal, though- as far as he's concerned, that's just what the world looks like. (He wonders how and why people like reading so much, when one of the side effects is always a headache)

I also HC him as Asexual and Panromantic (I HC all the skeletons as some variant of ace, personally)

He's a huge optimist, and actively chooses to find the best in people even when there isn't really much to find. He's not naive or stupid, even though that can be how it comes across to some people, he just really believes that there's potential in everyone for good and maybe, just maybe if he shows that he believes that, he can bring it out in people.

--

This is all pretty loose and vague, cuz as far as my lore goes, Papyrus spends most of the 'backstory' sort of period being a kid in school and such. By the time he's old enough to be doing anything, most of it is hinted at within the game, and I like to stick pretty close to canon lore with anything that's actually established. I just fill in the gaps between that stuff!

[lemm-moxx]

OK IM BACK, and tbf that was quite fun, (i decided not to make everything strictly english as boring man)

(more lore abt my lil company and its employees i suppose) (fun fact you can tell the dept by their badge types)

yk about the whole thing in utmv community where people head-cannon characters to be able to speak the same language as their creators does this apply to accents or different branches of the same language

And if so does this make all of my ocs British by proximity

[crystal-va]

When I have time, I want to make fanart of each Sans of yours 🥺

Oh mah God... Please do! I'd love to see it! (no rush tho, but I'd adore it!)

This is a GREAT excuse to post EVERYONES newer designs...

FIRST! Full Redesigns/Reworks!

Disrupter!Gaster was originally another Sans, but after thinking abt his story more since the first time I posted him, it made more sense for him to be a Gaster.

Oh- and I tried to make Pyro a little more unique :)

Next!

Left to right: Mercenary, Dealmaker, Disturbed

Anotha!

Left to right: Worshiper, Worshiped, Rootkits

Last two!

Left to right: Neuro, VoidFell

(Forgot to draw his hands but VF has Gaster holes in his hands)

Note: Neuro isn't cannon to the connected story between everyone else. Another note; This is all my more original AUs/Characters/stories and doesn't include the MANY variants of other preexisting AUs I've made. Yet ANOTHER note; All these AU's do have more than just Sanses, It'd just take WAY too long to draw all of the relevant characters

Relations with each other:

Pyro, Soul is partially owned by Deal. Like's hangin out with Disturbed when he can.

Disrupter, Willingly works under Deal. Dislikes everyone, even Deal, but works under Deal because he respects his power.

Mercenary, Has done work for Deal in the past, little thought on everyone else.

Dealmaker, Owns Disturbed & Pyro. Is Dirupter's boss

Disturbed, Deal completely owns his soul. Enjoys Pyro's company

Worshiper, Has observed everyone, but hasn't interacted

Worshiped, Acts as the God of Death & Chaos in the VoidVerse, so they've observed everyone before. Them and Deal have fought before.

Rootkits, Observes everyone and has fought with Deal's team before (Works under Error!404). Finds special interest in Disturbed and Voidfell.

Neuro, No Cannon interactions

Voidfell, Technically doesn't know anyone yet, but will. HATES Deal with burning passion. Thinks Disturbed & Pyro are cool dudes and wants to help em'. Hates Disrupter because he acts like a prick with a stick up his ass, (His words, not mine). Root makes him uncomfortable with the constant, not-so secret, observing. thinks Mercenary is neat. No real opinion on the rest.

[silverstormsxx]

some utdr concepts i came up with at 3am

Undermerge

Aight so basically Undermerge was originally created as a regular, standard AU - in fact, it was almost completed!

....until the creator scrapped it the last minute, erasing everything and leaving it behind

Due to how abrupt and rushed the erasure of Undermerge was, the codes of each character basically all fused together, creating a jumbled amalgamation of memories, personalities, etc

This amalgamation managed to survive the deletion of Undermerge because of the DETERMINATION from their variant of Frisk

After a long time of living in the empty, infinite void where their AU once was, they started to go insane.

Eventually, however, they managed to find a way to escape the void by transferring their code to other AUs!!

Shortly after escaping, they took on the name: "Union."

Union is, in appearance, virtually indistinguishable from a shadow. The fact that they don't really have a physical form adds onto this, as they are ever shifting and changing.. just like a shadow. The only reason they don't completely blend in is because of their eyes - they have white sockets, and black pupils.

Union can shift their form to more closely resemble the silhouette of whichever character they feel like the most in that moment - sans, undyne, toriel, etc.

Union is.. very mischievous. They are easily amused by seeing others in troublesome situations. They also have a tendency to prank/spook people. They are very reminiscent of an elusive face that uses their cleverness to lock you into deals, twisting your own words against you and playing mind games for their own entertainment.

They have really bad mood swings. One second they're pissed at you for breathing too loud in front of them and berating you loudly, the second they're complimenting you on how nice you look today like nothing ever happened.

This is because they don't really have a solid identity. Whenever they undergo a mood swing, they usually shift.

For example..

[As Undyne]

"COME BACK HERE YOU PUNK!! YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST WALK ALL OVER ME LIKE I'M A PIECE OF TRASH?"

[Shifts to sans]

"..on second thought, i really don't have the energy to do anything about it. just don't do it again, alright pal?"

They're chaotic neutral. The only thing their jumbled up mess of a mind can really agree on is that they want to be entertained.

If you were to ever fight Union, I'd imagine the flavor text would be reused lines.

Also I feel like they would shift into muffet the most.

I think they like fucking with sanses who get angered easily like fell sans.

Uses we/us when referring to themselves for obvious reasons

Utmv Swap AU - The Cycle of Feelings

Nim takes the role of XGaster

Dream takes the role of XFrisk

Nightmare takes the role of XChara

Ink Sans takes the role of Cross Sans (not too sure about this one but eh. Suggestions?)

Deltarune: The Memories Route

Takes place in a hypothetical scenario where sans falls into a dark world in one of the later chapters and joins the party with kris!

Basically. We force deltarune sans to remember the memories of his undertale counterpart. This includes everything - his knowledge of the anomaly, gaster, timelines, saves, etc

This au mostly focuses on showcasing the player as this unfathomable, higher being to the characters in undertale and deltarune. An unknowable entity, a universal constant that you can never escape, even across alternate realities that holds power beyond what they could ever begin to understand.

Heavy focus on psychological horror.

[howlsofbloodhounds]

What do you think happened during/after the fight Delta had with his Gaster(in the Final Ep. 1). What are your headcanons for it?

Apologies for the delay in response, I needed to both gain energy/motivation to reply and also to go rewatch Ultra/Vitaltale to refresh my memories.

And also the way the videos were sorted on creator’s YT channel was confusing my brain for some reason, so I just scrolled through their entire channel in order to find every piece on the AUs & put it into separate chronological order in a playlist of my own. Then I tried to rewatch all of it.

Which was hard, because I kept getting distracted and my attention kept drifting away. I will probably try to rewatch again soon, when I am capable of actually retaining the information in my mind accurately.

(Random side note because the thought just occurred to me; I find it very interesting how both Doggo and Papyrus demonstrate bravery when facing up against the unknown threat in Vitaltale Episode 1.4.

Whereas Sans, who will eventually absorb the SOUL of Bravery to become the Delta we know, is all for evacuating. Love how this Sans is not naturally brave in the typical way, even should he eventually come around to gaining the bravery soul in Vitaltale as he did in Ultra.)

Anyway. On to the actual question. My mind is a little wonky today so if I get anything wrong or confused about the question feel free to correct me.

So it’s to my understanding that Echo (Ultratale’s Gaster) calls Sans/Delta to the Ruins for a “chat” after Delta’s fight with Cross. Echo has information for Delta—a way to “fix” their mistakes, but he will not tell Delta unless he fights for it.

Delta calls the information “old,” and says he’s going to beat Echo into the ground anyhow. Gives me the impression that he’s possibly more fixated on his current task—protecting AUs—then trying to go back and fix the past.

Because Ultratale was ultimately rebooted into Vitaltale we obviously don’t know for sure how this battle ends and likely never will, but I personally HC that it has multiple endings.

1. Delta loses, Echo doesn’t give him the information. The two go on their separate ways and live their own lives.

2. Delta wins. Echo attempts to tell the information, but Delta stops him. Says he doesn’t want to know and just wants to move on with life. That it’s what Papyrus, Frisk, and the others would want them to do.

3. Delta wins, Echo tells him the information of how to go back and fix it all. Delta refuses.

4. Delta wins, gets the information, and he accepts. Perhaps this information leads into the formation of a variant AU—a reboot, that creates Vitaltale. Chara doesn’t absorb Frisk’s soul and therefore can’t prevent them from Resetting.

(Side note: perhaps, for a character defining moment, in every ending where Delta refuses to hear or accept this information, Echo always furiously protests against this. Maybe Echo is the voice encouraging Delta to go back, to fix it all and “fight for us,” whereas Beta is the voice encouraging Delta to keep moving forward.

Echo cannot let go of the past because he was shattered and wasn’t ready to leave it, but he is was always aware.

Beta never got to truly live either because they were murdered and kept in a jar, but they were not as aware of the world outside the jar and thus is able to move on easier. Because Beta’s life was over before they truly got to live it, whereas Echo/Gaster’s was cut off at its peak.

Delta is in the middle of this. Experienced with life, but still young. His life is just starting—he’s halfway out of that cage—whereas Beta realizes they are free and is just trying to convince Delta to join them, and Echo..the cage is open, he can step out now.

But he spends his time trying to coax Delta and Beta back inside instead, and to help him bring everyone else back in the cage where it’s safe and familiar.)

Delta, now just Sans and perhaps without any memory of the events of Ultratale, manages to convince Frisk to Reset near the end of a Genocide route and be better. However, the Determined Omega!Chara must still Erase this world—the culmination ending exactly as Ultratale did.

Omega!Chara absorbs Frisk’s Soul, prevents them from Resetting and goes on a Genocide to Erase this world once and for all. Sans attempts to prevent it, even by giving characters such as Doggo hints and tips to help them in combat against the unknown threat.

None of it matters. Sans’ attempts do nothing, it ends in Genocide and Sans absorbs the Bravery soul—going on to protect the rest of the Multiverse.

He always fights Cross, he always fights Echo. He’s always given the choice—go back and try again and again, or accept what happened. Be brave, and move on. Do what Doggo and Papyrus did—brave in the face of impossible odds.

Anyway I guess my little HC is basically that Ultratale and Vitaltale are connected in-universe. Vitaltale is the story of how we got to Ultratale, and Delta must choose between the mortifying ordeal of the unknown and living with his mistakes & losses, or the comfort of a past that’ll end horribly in Ultratale; but at least he never lost anyone yet and no mistakes were ever made.

If he chooses to move on, he goes to the Omega Timeline where he meets Color, Epic, Core Frisk, Killer. Grows closer with Beta, Cross, XChara. Adopts a service/therapy dog he names Zorox (which is someone else’s HC, I don’t know if it’s okay or not with being tagged). Lives life, saving and protecting people.

Sans manages to escape the loop of Undertale only to find himself in another due to the rebooting nature of Ultra and Vitaltale. Only this time he has the ability to choose to escape it, he just has to be brave enough to attempt it—even though it seems impossible.

(Also how, despite the way his experiences could understandably lead him to Nihilism, helplessness and the belief that nothing he ever does or says will ever matter or change anything, he learns to be brave enough to keep trying anyway.)

Anyway. Sorry for the long rant that got horribly off topic at points. I had a lot more ideas about this by the time I was done than when I first read the question. Have Delta & Echo being silly and zesty respectively to make up for it:

[oneirocide]

thinking of an undertale/underswap au where birds are the national symbol of the underground (a different bird for every region). they're symbols of freedom, prosperity, and strength--and, it is very important to mention, it began as propaganda. Gaster was experimenting on creating monsters capable of handling human-levels of determination without destabilising and figured using bird bones would allow a lab-made monster (sans and papyrus) to contain this without fusing human and monster genes and therefore creating (at best) a pile of semi-sentient goop.

these weapons would ideally be able to break the barrier and fight humans in place of monsters, with much higher success too. sans was designed with blue jay bones (for intelligence and aggression: blue jays eat mostly fruits/nuts/etc but do hunt small invertebrates and are known to be territorial and also decapitate other birds) while papyrus was created with the secretary bird (for raw strength and, again, aggression. just look at how that thing hunts).

the bros dont have wings but do grow feathers in various places and act like their bird counterparts. sans uses his hood to imitate the crest of a blue jay, only lowering it around papyrus. he is very protective of his brother, extremely intelligent and capable of mimicking the sounds of others eerily well. he also carries a hidden sadistic streak unexpected from what looks like a typical swap-variant. he also loves being high up and can often be found perched up in trees or on his brother.

papyrus is the quieter brother and also, can be a total jerk. he is a powerhouse, though dont underestimate his intelligence either--he's more than happy to take advantage of situations and knows his stuff. he is fiercely loyal and doesn't like large crowds. most assume he is not very active, but he likes to stake out his 'territory' often and is, in fact, terrifyingly fast when he wants to be. he is very good with children, too, and the first to adopt chara when she falls.

monsters even dress like birds. sans and papyrus are most noticeable, but undyne, alphys, mk, and a few others are noticeably dressed as well.

some of the swaps go like this

sans <--> papyrus (personality, blended roles)

undyne <--> alphys (personality)

asgore <--> toriel (personality, role)

muffet <--> grillby (role, blended personality)

gaster -> more aggressive/sadistic/insane, possibly gender swapped

chara (she/her) <--> frisk (they/them) (role swap)

mk (gender swap) etc

river person (nicknamed Charon/the Ferryman) -> was present during the human/monster war, got their name for their kill count and fondness of water. no one alive has ever seen their face

SLOTS FILLED: 5/5

!!ALL SLOTS ARE NOW TAKEN!! thank you so much everyone! o7

(ALSO DISCO ELYSIUM I FORGOT TO ADD IT TO THE FANDOMS LIST GAH—)

@indigooey had a fantastic idea recently to help @blackkatdraws upgrade their animation equipment from… their phone… to a screen tablet, and that’s funky as hell!

so I'M OPENING CHARACTER BUST COMMISSIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME! want narry to kiss your hand? a niche random au sans? a markiplier ego i never got to? want to see your oc in my style??? well five slots are open...

... aaaaaand i have no idea if they'll be taken or not! LMAO

i really hope so though, bc i'd love to help out. more details below and in the post itself!

instead of sending the money to me, you'll be paypaling it to indigo, the one ultimately paying for the upgrade alongside @/R_Sick_Ghost on twitter (another member of the tsp creator club discord server).

i'll send you the link to her paypal once your slot is claimed juuust in case, so nobody just sends money without discussion expecting a slot ;; better safe than sorry, right?

it is in the post, but you MUST discuss with me first if you want a commission.

i reserve the right to decline your commission. obviously i'm not gonna cancel one that's confirmed properly, but please do not randomly send money and expect to have your commission accepted without prior discussion.

just had to make that super clear before we move on lol.

but yeah, like i said before! if you've ever wanted a character in my style, or for me to draw another undertale au, or to have a POV shot of gaster or narry kissing your hand or whatever, now is the time o7

kat really is a wonderful animator, and even with extremely limited equipment has managed to do incredible work. you may recognize this animation of my narry they did, or even just THEIR narry variants, black and grey, and all the wonderful animations on their YouTube channel. i think this could be really great for them—and hey, even if that doesn’t ring a bell for you, you get some art out of the deal :)
