Mightier Than The Sword
Gerson had one regret, but now Alvin has many. A fancomic about my thoughts and theories and who -and what- the Knight is!
While not directly connected, I'd say this one is in the same vein as the Deal With The Devil series! Hope you enjoy!

Page 1
Panel 1 - Wide shot of the interior of the Boom household. Several monsters are gathered in a clean-looking hall, dressed in somber clothing and talking quietly in small groups. The monsters include QC, Cat Mom, Toriel, Asgore and Mayor Holiday. Father Alvin stands waiting at a door in the hall as his sister, a red-headed turtle monster in a pink dress, exits through the door and speaks to him. āAlvinā¦heās ready for you.ā
Panel 2 - Mid shot as Alvin prepares to enter the room. Ms. Boom steps out of the way, and puts a reassuring hand on his shoulder. Both of them look somber.Ā

Panel 4 - Alvin approaches his father, lying in bed. The bedroom has a few amenities, including a footstool set off to the side, a large rug bearing the delta rune, and a massive bookcase filling the entire back wall.

Gerson just smiles, and responds, āWa ha, is it? Well, itāll do fine, I suppose.ā

Panel 3 - Aerial shot as Alvin prays over the book, and Gerson is still confined to the bed, only able to watch. āThis world still NEEDS his gifts!ā Alvin says. āI pray to you, donāt take them from us now!ā The shadows around Alvin start to grow strange, not matching the candlelight.
Panel 4 - Gerson continues to hold out a hand, now not looking well. āNoā¦ā
Panel 5 - Closeup on the candles as they spark to life, now glowing stronger.
Panel 6 - A strange bright glow begins to emanate from Gerson. Behind him, the books in the bookcase all rattle and shift as if in a localized earthquake. The colors of the room grow brighter and stranger.
Panel 7 - Still reaching out a desperate hand, Gerson lets out a soft breath. His soul, an upside-down white heart, comes up from his body. On the footstool in the foreground, the fountain pen also begins to levitate, as if by magic.
Page 8

Page 9
Panel 1 - The same shot as the first panel of the first page, with the other monsters waiting in the hallway. No one says anything as Alvin emerges from the bedroom, leaning on the door for support, his head bowed. Everyone in the room knows that Gerson has just passed, although they donāt know the rest.
Panel 2 - An establishing shot of the forest and mountains surrounding Hometownā¦the skies are a dark, gloomy gray.
Panel 3 - Above shot of Gersonās newly dug grave. At the bottom of a small pit lies Gersonās hammer, covered in his dust. Politics Bear stands over the grave, holding a shovel.Ā
Panel 4 - Closeup as the shovel begins to dump dirt over the fresh grave.
Panel 5 - Another closeup of Gersonās headstone, with bundles of fresh funerary flowers laid in front of it.
Panel 6 - Wide shot of Gersonās funeral. Alvin stands over his fatherās grave, reading last rites from one of his books. Lots of monsters are in attendance, including Alphys and Undyne, Napstablook, the Holiday and Dreemurr families, and more. A very young Kris, Noelle and Asriel are present, but Dess is not. Everyone is dressed in dark mourning attire.
Panel 7 - After the funeral, Toriel approaches Alvin and puts a hand on his shoulder. She says, āBeautifully said, Alvin. I know your father is watching proudly by the side of the Angel.ā Alvin looks distant and mournful.
Panel 8 - A closeup of the fountain pen laying forgotten on the desk in Gersonās room. Gerson is, perhaps, not actually with the Angel right now.
Panel 9 - Back at the funeral, Alvin bows his head, eyes closed. āYou are too kind, Toriel,ā he says.
Page 10
Panels 1-3 - We see the seasons pass through the changing of the treesā¦from the barren white trees of winter, to colorful pink blooms for spring, to the bright oranges and reds of fall.
Panel 4 - Sometime much later, Alvin again enters his fatherās old room, alone.
Panel 5 - Much of Gersonās room has remained untouched. The fountain pen still sits on his old writing desk in the foreground. Alvin steps inside, and carefully turns on the overhead light. āItās been years,ā he says.
Panel 6 - Alvin cautiously approaches the pen, which seems to loom large ahead of him. He hesitantly picks it up.
Panel 7 - Alvin places some blank pages on the writing desk. āSurelyā¦ā
Panel 8 - Alvin sits in front of the blank pages, still holding the pen cautiously. āSurely by now, I can do it.ā Heās going to try writing.
Panel 9 - Closeup as Alvin dips the pen in the inkwell, and it comes away full of ink.
Panel 10 - Closeup as Alvin holds the pen over the blank page. The pen trembles slightly in his grip.
Panel 11 - Alvin tries to put pen to paper, but heās still trembling. He looks down with great anxiety. āIā¦Iā¦ā
Panel 12 - Closeup on Alvinās face as he looks more panicked, shaking and sweating. In the background, his memory of his fatherās soul being absorbed into the pen plays back at him. This is still his fault.
Panel 13 - Closeup again as Alvinās hand shakes uncontrollably, and the pen with it. Ink spots begin to dapple the blank pageā
Page 11
Panel 1 - Alvinās shaking hand accidentally knocks over the inkwell, and it spills black ink all over the blank page.
Panel 2 - Alvin picks up the ruined paper and folds it in half to try and stem the ink spillage. He quietly curses to himself.Ā
Panel 3 - Closeup as Alvin holds his head in his hand. Itās clear that this isnāt going to work. āI canātā¦āĀ
Panel 4 - Closeup as Alvin puts the ink-stained paper back on the desk, and quickly grabs up the pen and inkwell.
Panel 5 - Taking the pen and inkwell, Alvin exits his fatherās room again, head bowed and expression sad.
Panel 6 - Left behind, the folded paper slowly peels apart and unfoldsā¦
Panel 7 - To reveal that the spilled ink has created a rorschach ink blot image of a titan.Ā
Page 12
Panel 1 - Wide shot as Alvin trudges down the streets of Hometown, alone. His head his bowed, and heās still clutching the articles he took with him. Itās almost nighttime, and the sky is dark. āI cannot bear this kind of burden,ā he says to himself.
Panel 2 - Shot from behind Alvin as he approaches the school building. Itās dark, and no students or teachers should be there. āMaybe you belong where you always haveā¦ā
Panel 3 - Now indoors, Alvin continues down the empty hallway towards a particular destination. āWith the youth.ā
Panel 4 - Alvin opens the door to the storage closet at the end of the hall. It opens with a soft creak. āTeaching. Telling stories,ā Alvin continues to say to himself.
Panel 5 - Alvin places the fountain pen and inkwell on a small shelf in the storage closet. The closet is almost completely black.Ā
Panel 6 - The inkwell and pen are left on the shelf as Alvin closes the door behind him. His expression is mournful as he locks these reminders of his father away. āInspiring someone better suited,ā he says, hoping this is a suitable escape of his responsibility.
Page 13
Panel 1 - But in the storage closet, the objects are subject to something else already there: the grand Dark Fountain. The pen, ink and papers all fall into the darkness of the fountainā
Panel 2 - And start to change, the pen seemingly turning into liquid itselfā
Panel 3 - As the pen falls deeper and deeper into the dark, the liquid begins to reshape into something new, something resembling a personā
Panel 4 - Until it lands on empty ground, now a person in knightās armor, knelt over and holding his head in his hands.
Panel 5 - The Knight comes to, and starts to become more aware. Heās dressed in armor resembling the dark metallic sheen of the fountain pen, his mask resembling the pen tip. A bright deep red cape flows from his shoulders, and a single red-orange feather tops the helmet. āWhereā¦am I?ā
Panel 6 - The Knight again touches his helmet with both hands, as if not sure exactly what he is.
Panel 7 - Interior shot of the helmet, which reveals a figure much like Gersonā¦but much younger, more idealized-looking, with colors not matching his actual self. A Dark World interpretation. āWHY am Iā¦?ā
Panel 8 - A closeup of the Knightās hand, slightly trembling.
Panel 9 - The Knight stares down at his own hands as realization begins to flood him, or at least something that looks like realization. āWait. I see why. I KNOW.ā he says.
Ā Page 14
Panel 1 - The Knight holds up his hand, and a sword appears in it in a flash of lights. The sword resembles the tip of a fountain pen, almost split neatly in two. āI serve the Lightners! That is my purpose!ā Says the Knight.Ā
Panel 2 - The Knight draws the sword back with great fervor and determination. His thoughts echo around him in strong letters: āA purpose so bright, so clearā¦ā
Panel 3 - In the final panel, the Knight drives the sword into the ground, causing an eruption of black ink-like material to spew from the groundā¦the creation of a new Dark Fountain. In the fountain itself, words reflect his purpose: āI EXIST TO GIVE THEM STORIES FOREVER.ā

Gerson is a boss monster and here's why
As we know boss monsters age when their offspring does and if said offspring is dead they are stuck at the age they were when their offspring died
And we know Gerson is dead in Deltarune
And the surrounding graves are of characters who we know were dead in Undertale as well (which is interesting that more of the amalgamates aren't there which is either due to lack of space or it means they are alive in the Deltarune universe)
(Images from a post by @seased )
And we know that the amalgamates are dead
When monsters die they dust.
And we know Father Alvin is Gersons son
So why is Gerson dead in Deltarune where he has a son but not in Undertale where he doesn't? Because he's a boss monster that's why

Gerson Boom is one of the coolest characters in Undertale, despite playing a 'minor' role as a shopkeeper. From his design to his personality to his role in the game's backstory and his guts in the No Mercy run, there's a lot to love about this old timer, and in this video, I break down his character in all three routes as well as explore his lasting legacy on the world of Deltarune.
As a side note, the Undertale Yellow video had to be unlisted due to an audio error I overlooked. I will be reuploading it soon, potentially with added voices for the characters. We shall see!

We're still working on minor character designs but for now we have everyone's favourite weird old man, G....erson. Gerson Boom.
He takes the place of the Snowdin Innkeeper and runs the resort in Clearwater. We never see his full-body design in canon so I kind of eyeballed his shop sprite & Alvin from DELTARUNE. Some figures on his inspiration board included Craig Cuttlefish, Scrooge McDuck, and Jimmy Buffet.

I know it's just a theory but in your imagination, is there a design you think Gerson's fountain pen knight would looks like?
Oh nooo help, I ended up spending way too much time on this
Mostly because this ended up being a lot of fun to design!...
#ask lynx stuff#lynx art#deltarune#the knight#gerson boom#alvin#not entirely sure on the colors#kinda wanted a mix of dark ink stuff and also usual Dark World bright neons?#I'll be honest I kinda like how this came out more than PT's Gaster Knight#sorry Gaster!

Undertale - Justice Concept
Just expanding a bit this concept, and telling ideas I have with this little thing.
I will put the info in here so if you are interested you can read it.
This was made with the idea of making a Prequel concept based in the coffins order in UT, seeing that the Red soul coffin was for Chara, so the second human to fall was the Yellow Soul, so with this in mind let me explain some details.
The human names theirselves Risk, their true name is Clover.
Risk is a teen, and wields a gun powered by magic. (This is stablished in UT)
The human is the one with the Justice/Yellow Soul
They fall in 203X, years after Chara's death and a few years after the Human with the Bravery/Orange soul mysteriously dissapeared from the town.
They fall into Mt. Ebott to see what happened to the human and bring Justice to them.
The Human goes through Ruins, Snowdin Fores and a Town in construction, Waterfall, Hotland and CORE in the making.
The Human after dying to Asgore, they realize their soul will free the monsters from the Underground, so they don't load their file. (This explains why they have their soul Captured)
If you are wondering if there's a No Mercy Route, yes there's one, but the ending is the same one, here are things that happens.
If the monsters youe ncounter through the Underground gets to low HP the run away like in Deltarune, witht his you get less EXP because you don't kill them, you just use violence to proceed.
All the bosses, this being Toriel, Gerson Boom, Dr. Gaster and Asgore don't get killed.
To get out of the Ruins you damage Toriel enough so she let's you out of the ruins.
Gerson Boom and some royal guards chase you through Waterfall, gerson retreats after you almost deplete his HP.
Dr. Gaster knocks you out when you arrive to Hotland seeing threat you are, when knocked out, he hands you over to Asgore.
The Asgore fight goes as normal, so the end is you just losing over and over again until Risk gives up.
I made the No mercy route like this so no matter what the fate of the human is always the same, and so important character we see in UT aren't dead in the No Mercy route.
That's all the ideas I have for this little concept, I hope you like them.

Now that I think on it, Gerson is probably a boss monster. He's lived as long as Asgore, I think, and boss monsters only age while they have living children. In Undertale, we never see any of Gerson's children, he may not have them, but in Deltarune we have Alvin, and Gerson could have potentially aged and died because of that. Technically, this also means that the boss monster soul Kris absorbed, assuming they have one, could have been Gerson instead of Asriel, though the timeline for that is kind of screwy (could have been years) and it has much less narrative bite to it, so I doubt that's the case, even if you ignore all the hints.

I'm making a small comic with Gerson on in, and because it's been months since I last drew him, I've been struggling to draw his head in a more dynamic position other than a profile Xd
I spent like 20 minutes making failed attempts, so I've ended up making some study sketches to figure out how to make it in different angles...
I should probably do design sheets more often instead of just trying to remember how I draw characters XD
