@forgettable-au FAN ANIMATION ! LOUD NOISE WARNING!

*What was it all for…?

Song: Vishnu <3 by Peter Cat Recording Co.

…okay.

The main inspiration for this…can be summed up with I LOVE HOW SAD THIS CONCEPT IS. BUT i also adore how WEIRD it is.

This whole thing must be pretty weird and creepy for the characters right??? Like- we dont know for certain what EXACTLY is gonna happen, but we know for a fact that Wingdings finds out hes in a game, then kills himself so he can be closer with god-

THATS PRETTY WEIRD 😭😭 also sad but we can ignore that for now

I also experimented a tad with this in working with silence, so timing things at my own pace! It was really hard! I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!

But, time for my FAVORITE PART….ANALYSIS!!!

DISCLAIMER: some things stated as fact haven’t been said in the blog/arent canon to the au itself, just my animation/theories/interpretation, cause i’m silly and headcanoning :3

TITLE:

The proper title ive given this is “To You” which means 2 different and very vague things. What happened to you? and sending a message like “this is To You”.

In that case, “you” is whichever version of Papyrus/Wingdings/Gaster you want- Its not exactly clear which version of him means “you” which is kinda the point. The lines blur together sometimes…

But yeah, Gaster/crazy WD sends messages TOO himself so they’re “To You”

CONTEXT

Wingdings has JUST turned himself into Gaster. Ignore how impossible Sans interacting with him in this moment is, and just hear me out on the angst possibilities-

SCENE 1

As Sans approaches the mess- Gaster is encased in shadow, and looks at him. Expression not telling much- just looking blankly. Doesn’t even look like he’s alive… just… moving. Also the eye thats open, is just a slit. because- perspective. BUT I also had fun putting that there and going hehehehe it looks like WD/Papyrus’ eye

Sans approaches, and getting engulfed in the shadow, leaving the light.

His expression here was REALLY fun and REALLY hard to draw. Angry? maybe. stunned and terrified? DEFINITELY.

In this context (that doesn’t have a lot to go off of with the comics, YET) Sans knows that this was all very much intentional. He absolutely does not want to be angry, and is certainly only feeling it subconsciously.

But… he wanted so badly to understand, and enter his brother world. But now, Sans is just… Baffled. Hes like “what the fuck did you do???”

SCENE 2

Gaster continues to look blank. Looking up at Sans as he approaches, encasing him in even more shadow.

Sans’ hand reaches to Gasters face. From Sans’ perspective, his intentions are like checking for a pulse. Not literally ofc cause pulses arent on our face- but like, feeling for him. For a sign that something is there. (It’s also meant to be something motherly/comforting)

But then, Gaster leans into the touch, somewhat reciprocating this wordless “ive got you” gesture. That’s what makes Sans go from Terrified to just purely grief stricken. His brother is still alive. And he loves him.

But this form wont last for long…For universe fixing screw ups reasons :D 👍

SCENE 3

Gaster then opens his eyes, revealing hes even still got eye lights available for him. Thats what just SHATTERS the dam, and Sans embraces him suddenly.

SCENE(S) 4

Then, the “reset” happens, Gaster is gone, and Papyrus appears in place of Wingdings in his bed.

Nothing is boiling to add to a “frozen in terror” feeling!

Now- drawing all of the differences between the past and present rooms. DESTROYED ME. i HAD SO MUCH FUN BUT I ALSO CRIED 😭 There are no thank-you letters to santa, no racecar bed, no silly bone painting, no action figures, just BORING

I also wanted to keep everything monochromatic, so ofc we’ve got black and white for the void/Gaster, blue for Sans, red for Papyrus, and purple for Sans and Papyrus together.

The tape recorder and lab coat are still greyscale though cause Wingdings still has SOME of his stuff lying around. But the tapes are indecipherable, and Papyrus threw out that lab coat the first chance he got. It gave him the absolute worst feeling, worse than anything he’s ever experienced.

Something I also really enjoy is the fact that the dress shirts were still technically Wingdings’ but they’re red for Papyrus. The lab coat is the only real WINGDINGS thing that Papyrus wants absolutely no part in. Some things that were Wingdings’ are now Papyrus’ cause :D👍

in place of the bone painting are just family photos that I also have extra to say about. Someday I wanna make a comic of what happened to those/what I think would happen to em.

One day Papyrus is like “HEY UH- SANS! THESE PHOTOS! I DON’T LIKE LOOKING AT THEM! CAN WE NOT!?” Aka, he doesn’t remember these things happening/these photos being taken… BUT THEYRE PHOTOS OF HIM.

So he just feels really uncomfortable looking at memories he should reasonably remember, but doesn’t at all- and Sans gets that. But he keeps em in his drawer. Then! they hung up the bone thing in place of it cause SILLY!

But the family photos, I still had fun with. From left to right theyre a photo of Semi with the twins, the twins as baby bones, then as slightly older kids, then WDs graduation photo.

CONCLUSION!

This entire thing was so much fun, and I feel i’ve really grown as an artist over the process of experimenting and not being knocked down by annoying setbacks,

Also, as usual, Works In Progress’ plus extra behind the scenes stuff will be posted shortly after this!! YIPPEEE!!! HAPPY NIGHTMARES!!!!!

OHHHH ALSO EXTRA ART!!!

“AREN’T THEY BEAUTIFUL?”

That silly moment when your clone is really weirdly obsessed with stars and enthusiastically holds your eye sockets open to show you them

[thenamesapollo]

old man yaoi perhaps???? yea sorry ill leave

get BACK here and pick up what u ordered!!!!

Same Anon ✨

So ‘Trickster’ is Sans’ rebellious teenager phase? (Is Gaster his dad or boss?) And does he get embarrassed when someone brings up his Trickstering days?

And if Papyrus *was* to find out, how would he react? How would the others react?

Poor Sans getting shipped off to the Underground equivalent of military school cause he’s a silly boy. Alas alas

Hope you’re having a great day!

Hahaha yess Trickster is somewhat Sans’ rebellious teenager phase! (I don’t know if you still can call him a teenager at 19 (very close) but he was pretty much like that HAHAHA)

At least that’s how it started, then it became a bigger thing as years went on (becoming a symbol of hopes and dreams, somehow a crazy entertainer, and being a cryptid of the underground????) before Trickster disappeared.

Gaster is both Trickster’s dad and boss, they work together in the royal lab!!

Well to be able to answer your other questions, would there even be anyone alive who still remembers what Trickster is to be able bring up his Trickstering days :D

Things happened you see, and now the most you can get out of the Trickster name is he’s just some local folklore and rumour that’s circulated around monsters, nobody knows if this figure was real or just some made up stories hehe

But if we don’t count in the plot, he would be VERY EMBARRASED if someone brought up his good old trickstering days GAHAHA (potential after undertale scenario event..?)

If current Papyrus *was* to find out as you said, I think he’d react very positively! He’d be very surprised about it along with others hahaha He would be so excited and gush his big brother a lot saying how cool he was for being such a hero during his younger days and how he was also into puzzles like the great papyrus does !!! And so much more ehehe

I think it’d go well eheh

For others.. hrmm !! They’d be surprised for sure just as I said before, can’t really think more of it right now since eheh wouldn’t wanna spoil too much on what might actually happen in after undertale plot :3

But yeah HAHAHA Sans got sent into the corps just to do errands for his dad is so funny to me like bro your son is your only assistant you’re really making him suffer huh HAHSJDKKFKC

Thank you for the wishes, I’ve been having a very nice day!! I hope you have a great day too 🥹💖💖

I wanted to post this because it was fun to draw- also, I love Last Breath Sans, the concept is so cool :)

Also, I didn’t make the background- it was from an MMD I believe-

[shouldbedrawingrn]

Just HAD to make somethin for @forgettable-au’s dtiys, wish my art did the comic justice cuz OH MY GOD i love this au dude‼️‼️

[tinybrainboy]

[Despite everything, is it still him ?] .

BOOM ! I did the DTIYS of @forgettable-au too !

I had a lot of fun honestly, I tried to mimic the colors and the style a little and I made Gaster super creepy because why not~

I had the idea of including Frisk when I saw the mirror, it sounded quite obvious and I was afraid to just make the same thing everyone did, but I haven't seen anyone do it beside myself for now so yipee

Little message for the creator if they ever see this:

Thank you so much for you AU, I love it so much and, as an autistic person who have been obsessed with this game since 2017, I'm so happy to see such a cool and well written AU being created in this fandom after all this years. It inspires me a lot for my own Undertale AU comics (that is about Gaster too but not in the same way at all x)). I particularly appreciate the color palette you use in your comic, it's just incredibly pretty Please keep going, and take care !

Also Little bonus that I wanted to do, I just imagined Frisk all confused and scared about the weird reflexion, poor kid

[sandswirls]

I feel like this has been done before…oh well

[meanpersonaart]

I found the sketch of the old version of this artwork and finished it. Man, that one was a year ago! I will make more, but they will be more simple and funneh/horror-y.

Also migrane-induced headcanon of the day: If Gaster turns out to be evil and we won't stay on his side at the end, one of the ending credits will contain Gaster's cover of I will survive by Gloria Gaynor.
