Round 5 (main finals): Chara Dreemurr (Undertale) vs. Amane Momose (MILGRAM)

Propaganda below the cut

Chara Dreemurr (?):

They were constantly blamed for killing all of monster kind in the no mercy route, despite players choosing to go that route. People ignored that they sacrificed themselves to attempt to free the monsters from the underground.

----

everyone wants to blame their own actions (genocide route) on chara, who is a literal child. i don’t know how to tell you this but you are the one playing the game. it’s about YOUR CHOICES. chara is there is punish you for that, you killed the only family that ever loved them! how could they not be upset at that! also if you don’t mind, here’s a good video essay on the subject 

Amane Momose (12):

Amane was voted guilty in the first trial so that she would acknowledge her guilt. It backfired, and now she’s considered a threat. Well, everyone is a threat, but nobody’s threat level has been as heavily discussed and debated as hers. Consider the next prisoner in line, Mikoto. He’s objectively more dangerous and cannot be restrained. He beat up the guard in trial 1, and he was able to hold his own when the other guilty prisoners were attacked. But a good incentive to forgive him is so that he will calm down. You know what? That’s a good incentive to forgive Amane too! But she *can* be restrained, so a good portion of the discussion went into how she should be voted guilty so she *will* be restrained and not a threat. Since her vote was a near 50/50, of course a good chunk of the voters expressed dissatisfaction with her forgiven verdict. Some are already planning to vote her guilty for trial 3, calling her a “lost cause”. She hasn’t even done any concrete harm yet. Hold the pitchforks until she actually causes harm, please? And what if she *was* voted guilty in trial 2? We’ve been warned that she will continue to deny our judgement. A second guilty verdict won’t make her better either, and then what? She’d be called a “lost cause” as well. There is no winning with her.

----

Where do I even start? So first of all she’s an cult child who was physically and mentally abused and tortured by her parents and then (presumably) murdered her mother after her mother killed a cat that she took care of.

Now everyone in Milgram is a murderer but when Amane came and her MV showed her murder and circumstance in an admittedly highly fictionalized depiction of it the audience decided to…repeat the cycle of abuse!

She was voted guilty for the main reason of “teaching her” and helping her “realize that she was abused.” I would like to note that this tough love approach is something her parents utilized against her. “We are only doing this to help you.”

So the audience replicates Amane’s abusers and repeats the cycle of abuse and that’s pretty shitty but it isn’t exactly “Fuck Em Kids” level.

And then Trial 2 happened. Cause Amane is bitter and angry and horrifically traumatized so she acts aggressive and hostile. Especially towards another prisoner.

Now, again, everyone here is a fucking murderer (of atleast could be constructed as one) These people being able to Harm is a core concept of this series.

Yet for some reason it feels like people treat Amane as a “delusional creepy kid who wants to kill people” which completly takes away the nuance of her character. She does have the capacity to harm! Everyone here does! She’s not Uniquly Dangerous! She just has a Reason to be Dangerous. A Reason we GAVE HER by REPEATING THE CYCLE OF ABUSE.

In short: In a series full of Murderers I’m honestly a bit pissed that the 12 year old abuse victim is the one who’s treated like the guy from American Pyscho.

----

TL;DR: "We metavoted this abused, indoctrinated child guilty in trial 1, but it didn't work. Now she is a threat to three grown adults: one who is fully free and two whom she has been shown to get along with. Please metavote her guilty again so she will be restrained and unable to attack them, even though that means subjecting her to further psychological torture." Amane Momose is the youngest of ten murderers, prisoners of Milgram who are to be judged innocent (forgiven) or guilty (unforgiven). In the first interrogation (voice drama), she said that what she did was in line with her religion's doctrines. If we judged her the "wrong way", she said she will just deny the verdict. Combining the voice drama and music video, you could piece together that she was raised in a cult and abused, even though she is cheerful and downplays her pain. She never shows *who* she killed, only *why* she did. After the first day of her vote, she was 81% innocent, but this wouldn't last the whole three months. Many people voted her guilty so she would "see her sins", part of the practice commonly known as "metavoting". Her innocent percentage rapidly decreased, and she hit guilty in the last 15 days, finishing at 51% guilty. At the end of the first trial, Jackalope (who is something like a host) went over all the prisoners' verdicts and commented on the general reasoning. When he got to Amane, he *laughed* at the audience for voting that way to make her realize her sins. Trial 2 rolled around, and it was revealed that Amane's victim was her abuser. On day one, she was at 74% innocent. Seems like a cut-and-dry case now, right? Well... in the intermission, two of the prisoners (Fuuta and Mahiru) were badly beaten up and became reliant on the care of Shidou, a doctor. Amane became hostile to Shidou because what he was doing was against her beliefs. She visited all three of them on their birthdays to convince them to change their ways. She seems to be especially close to Fuuta, who is now murmuring about salvation. Guilty prisoners are psychologically tortured, forced to listen to voices that reject their beliefs. Fuuta and Mahiru both say that the mental strain is worse than their physical injuries. But Amane, who also looks worse for wear, was thrown under the bus because she isn't injured and is considered a physical threat to them (never mind that she gets along with them). She's considered a threat to Shidou, a grown man who is twice her size and fully free, while she is partially restricted by the long sleeves in her trial 2 uniform. She might indoctrinate Fuuta even though, in a prison of ten people and one guard, she's the only voice of her cult. Fortunately, she got a break. Her vote was falling at a similar rate to the first trial. But this time, it stabilized at 51% innocent, 12 days before the end of her vote. But there's no way this is over.

[slightlytoastedbagel]

what if there was like. an undertale/isat crossover AU

I am going to take this as a "Frisk ends up in ISAT/Siffrin ends up in Undertale".

(ISAT spoilers up to Act 6 including the secret).

So, Frisk in ISAT. First of all, Frisk is a child so the party isn't going to let them fight. Not that Frisk really wants to fight anyway, they're happy taking snack duty with Bonnie. If Siffrin is still around I can definitely see Frisk as not knowing what is going on but wanting to comfort Siffrin anyway but in the way they pour water on Undyne at Hotland. Frisk has a candy in their pocket and every loop they give it to Siff on the third floor sort of thing. They do this even if they are also looping Frisk is just like that. Now, if Frisk is the one looping and Siffrin isn't there that would be... fun. Especially if Loop is still as they are in canon. They would be wondering what this Small Child came from and what their deal is. They weren't here before. Frisk doesn't know either they fell down a hole and ended up here. A fun little bonus would be Chara also coming along to narrate. Chara and Loop would be fun.

Now. Siffrin in Undertale. He is not having a good time. Let's just say they're aware of the resets and take them as loops for this. In the first few he remains neutral, they're used to fighting on the road but only fights when he can't get away per Toriel's request (let's say that maybe Siff is too used to his old combat rules... maybe they wouldn't think to spare Toriel at a certain point. At least the first time but then Papyrus spares HIM and that's when they realise. That could even be when reset 1 happens because Siffrin just can't go on knowing this). Then after countless attempts at this is when the genocide route comes into play. Genocide route Siffrin is Siffrin at his worse and the underground knows (so sort of like Act 5). Yes Siffrin struggles at Sans and they probably view the guy as similar to the King by the end as the guy he NEEDS to defeat because why else would it be this hard. Then Chara appears and the world is erased and he's back. At that point Siffrin is too tired and that's when it finally clicks that sparing everything is how the game is played down here. Idk, Siffrin is very stubborn when it comes to things, they're certain that when the adventure ends everything ends for example, they view fighting as a way to survival since they don't really remember anything else. Of course if he is going through this with Frisk it's definitely different because he has to look after a child they don't want them to see all that unless absolutely necessary. Also they keep getting upset whenever he even mentions fighting. Pacifist route probably happens first try in that case.

Oh also there's a lot to say about Siffrin and Flowey/Asriel. For Siffrin to go through all of that only to be met with a kid who basically echoes how he feels about their family (don't leave me I won't let you leave me). Yeah. Especially if this is an universe where ISAT still happens and then Siff goes to the underground. He gets it. Also Siffrin interacting with Chara would be great it would be like of Loop commentated on every single thing Siff did all of the time but instead of a star it's this ghost child that started following them when he fell down here.

[sbtorms]

Y'all know how Sunsetter is, like... my Underswap take of sorts? Well, I've recently been working on ideas for an Underfell take of sorts as well, with my own little twists.

Well, it's... kinda an Underfell take. Just a bit different in... a lot of ways.

I made up the name as I'm typing this, because I didn't have a name beforehand.

RED HAZE: Tale Of The Fallen

(or just "Red Haze")

This take has a lot of differences from the usual interpretation, including changing appearances... more than just details and clothing.

(Do note that the main cast would have different names from their Undertale counterparts. But since I can't think of any ideas for now, and also to prevent confusion, I'm just using the original names.)

Unlike in Undertale, there is no barrier keeping monsterkind from going to the surface. Hell, there isn't a mountain at all. Instead, monsterkind resides in a magically imbued forest, with only one way to leave, while entering gets one endlessly lost.

Asgore simply is biding his time, getting the souls of seven humans, to become godlike, and to wipe out humanity. No monster tries to go after Asgore, or even question his methods. Some act this way out of fear of what he could do, others that are for him and for his plan, and then the few that don't care either way.

The "routes" are named somewhat differently from what people usually call Undertale's

Path of Solace - ("Pacifist" Route) Path of Choices - ("Neutral" Routes) Path of Exploit - ("Genocide" Route)

“* You brush aside the agony.”

- this take's replacement for being "filled with determination"

AGONY is a haze that leaks from broken souls, with more of it depending how much negative energy one has when they die. It mentally and physically affects those who breathe it in. Naturally, it opposes the power of Determination, as that power does to it, destroying each other until one remains or there's nothing left. But, with enough focus, perhaps one could use both as one. Such a concept would be a focus of the Path of Exploit, specifically regarding both Undyne and Frisk.

Time for the cast!

Frisk and Chara

Admittedly, I didn't think much besides design-wise for these goobers. It's probably just that Frisk is more tired than usual and Chara was used as a sacrifice to the monsters in a failed attempt at a peace offering by humanity, actually got sick instead of it being planned, and yada-yada Asriel soul absorption and death. ...okay, maybe I thought a little for Chara. But not too much for Frisk.

The shirt patterns here are probably obviously Yumi Nikki inspired, despite the fact that I know nothing about the game itself besides some characters, lol.

The Dreemurrs (Toriel, Asgore, and Asriel)

Similar to canon Underfell, Toriel is what started this entire take concept to begin with. The idea stemmed from "what if the dreemurr family had biblically accurate angel imagery (eyes and wheels) instead of devil imagery (goats, fire, trident, y'know)?" And then I added "black sheep" into that, so that's what I ended up with.

Toriel is very fearful of humans, instead of a caretaker, running away and attacking when cornered. She uses what power she has to keep herself alone, not wanting to be emotionally tied and hurt again. (She's my favorite in the cast :3)

Asgore has been particularly affected by the AGONY of the many fallen children that died by his hand, becoming almost a tyrant, with only some of his original personality fading in and out.

Asriel is... actually not too different from canon Asriel, considering he died before everything really kicked off.

Flowey is a small mass/hivemind of bundled flowers, tied together like a "rat king". Each flower has only small snippets of past memories as Asriel, as well its own "personality", splitting Undertale Flowey’s personality into six pieces. They try to help Frisk get through the area, due to how unsafe it is. Whether they have their own goals remains to be seen.

The Blooks are shadow spirits instead of simple ghosts.

Napstablook is somewhat the same as in Undertale, other than the visual changes. Though, due to the circumstances, they’d have a bit more of an issue with their emotional state, bottling up their feelings, usually until such bursts when they can’t take it anymore.

Mettaton possesses many types of machinery, instead of just his singular body. In a way, this is due to the fact that he cannot decide on a single one.

The Ruins Dummy ghost is instead possessing a box and works as how items travel between boxes throughout the areas.

Maddie (aka "Mad Dummy" or "Mad Mew Mew" in Undertale, Maddie is sorta just a fandom nickname i think) basically acts like canon, but also a Mimic in a way, also possessing a box.

There would also be a secret boss fight against both Mettaton and Maddie, replacing Undertale's "Mad Mew Mew" one, with one where the two are trying to share the same body. The goal is to get the two to get along and work together… or just straight up destroy the body.

The Skelebros are instead lost spirits, seemingly of their original counterparts in some way...

Papyrus's goal is the same as his original, but instead in hopes of finally passing on, instead of joining a "Royal Guard". In reality, he knows he's never gonna pass on, but is in constant denial of such.

Sans, however, seems to have accepted and adapted to his “life”, and just wants to follow after his brother with whatever happens to him. He also likes dark humor, because of course he does.

The "Royal Guard" replacement is instead a cult that Undyne leads (and used to be led by Gerson), with a focus on a so-called prophecy, and using AGONY for what they see as a good thing. While they seem to be against King Asgore, it's more or less that they want him back to how he was before everything happened.

Undyne is a hooded guide throughout Waterfall (or whatever it'd be called in the take). She'd still be a fishlike monster, perhaps siren-like or anglerfish-like... or both. She protects the harmless from a gang of young monsters, led by Monster Kid.

Alphys is still the Royal Scientist, but also some form of background security in a way. She has an abundance of hidden cameras all throughout the Underground. She uses her vision across the areas for many reasons. Blackmail, catching traitors in the act, sometimes just... watching. Some monsters, especially many in the cult, have become evasive enough to miraculously avoid her gaze.

Her appearance is a bit more more based on that one beta design by Tuyoki.

finished undertale yellow. the writing was really really not undertale and more like a pale imitation of it with weird less progressive ideas that undertale pushed. there’s like this misogynistic / orientalist japanese styled character or whatever named ceroba who kind of just doesn’t really fit into the wild western vibe that pervades the story and its kind of like whoever made this character really REALLY wanted to insert whatever weeb stuff in there. no i don’t think kimonos are cultural appropriation leave me alone.

flowey himself in this story is a fine companion because he is very involved in undertale’s story as a companion but he’s that kind of companion that acts as a dickweed edgelord who doesnt really see the value in the friendships whatsoever so he waits to steal all da power, so i think it was a strange choice for them to make flowey do the whole betrayal thing because the story relies on you understanding flowey is doing faux sympathies but even then in the og game flowey’s facade drops extremely quickly and just antagonizes you after u get hit / avoid the bullets. but then undertale yellow’s pacifist route suddenly has flowey never throw a temper tantrum—he just lets it go—and that’s it and i think its dumb because undertale yellow shouldnt even have a pacifist or genocide route. the genocide only happens if the player chooses to in the og game and undertale yellow just puts both routes in there. i personally think the neutral route is the only route, because you still end up in a rock and a hard place; asgore will get you and flowey’s temper tantrum asshole behavior is impossible to escape or whatever.

the big issue here with undertale yellow is that it just narratively does not fit in with the OG undertale. yeah i understand it’s thematic; the underground changes depending on the individual soul color. it is what it is, but none of these characters ever show up . theres no wild west world. theres like, nothing, and i felt sad leaving the game because well, this is a fanmade prequel attempting to depict events that dont need depicting. undertale doesn’t need you to speculate on how the others met their fates—they just didn’t have enough determination to make it through. they had flaws in their souls that made it impossible to reach victory, and the circumstances were not in their favor. but yours are, and that means frisk (you) gets out in a happy ending (or not). its why undertale yellows routes cant *work*; there is no incentive for doing either because they’re both wish fulfillment. the real routes the one where flowey gets hopped up on fent and starts tweaking cus u aren’t playing by his rules. the og game’s neutral route is a sense that it is not the end, because you just have to make a second attempt at befriending everyone, including the 13 yo flower nerd edgelord, who simply runs away from his problems. its why the game opens up more possibilities at friendship and its why undertale yellow emulating this doesn’t really make sense, since it has a beginning and end and sets up frisk landing.

i also am not a fan of most of the oc characters (martlet or whoever need to get smited) but thats just whiny me

hope that made some sense.

[funnycreatortimetravel]

So if you Homura in the role of Frisk in UT, how do you think she'd get along with most of the cast and what sort of ending do you think she'd get first time around?

That's a really interesting thought piece! Considering Homura's character, I really feel like she'd be attached to Toriel the most for obvious reasons.

Flowey would probably die the second he tries some shit, considering he's just a more cruel Incubators and Homura had no problem killing him. I also see her listening to Flowey with a huge grain of salt once she realizes killing him is pointless just to get a better understanding of determination powers and the world of Undertale, but largely, she'd view Flowey as a crueler version of Kyubey and would either kill him or threaten him into telling her what she wants to know. She wouldn't take any crap from him. I also feel like, in a weird, disconnected way, she finds herself almost understanding Flowey once she realizes the truth about him and his past.

Toriel is an honest, motherly person, just like Mami, but unlike Mami, Toriel is more of an adult, so it would allow Homura to have a parent in her life.

I also feel like she'd like Papyrus after realizing that he's not a threat. Like, once she realizes that Papyrus has neither bark nor bite, she'd treat him like an annoying albeit endearing brother.

In terms of Sans, I feel like she would never allow herself to be fully comfortable with him. I don't think Homura is big on humor, no matter the iteration, so his puns and pranks wouldn't be charming to him, only seen as mildly annoying. Then once she finds out he has unexplained powers + science knowledge? She would sure feel somewhat uneasy.

Alphys and Homura would be a mix of awkwardness and also feeling a sort of kinship as Homura used to be as timid and nervous as Alphys. Though she may also see her as a bit...much given her interests. I'd say Homura is fine with Alphys in small doses and would, at worse, find her too insecure to be incredibly close with.

Undyne and Homura would likely butt heads in the beginning given that Undyne is very fiery and impatient whereas Homura is mostly logical and will try to compromise. The main issue, of course, is that Undyne, unlike Kyoko who while acting like her, is way easier to convince, Undyne is very hard to compromise with once she has her heart set. I see Homura either killing or seriously injuring Undyne during her neutral boss battle once she realizes that Undyne only wants to kill her.

As for Mettaton and Muffet, she'd likely just find them conceited and annoying obstacles, and once they'd calm down after she beat them, she'd probably want to ignore them/avoid them.

Asgore, Homura would likely sense that he doesn't want to do this and would either try to compromise or kill him without any malice just to leave. Knowing Homura, she'd attempt to be logical and get Asgore to come to his senses. I see their fight going one of two ways, Homura either killing him and Asgore being fine with it, or Asgore coming to his senses once he realizes Homura is right.

Overall, I see Homura doing a neutral run her first time. She would probably kill Flowey the second he pulls his BS, but I don't see her ever killing Toriel on accident since she knows that Toriel only wants the best for her. She'd probably kill a few monsters in the Ruins out of self-defense purely, but for the more pathetic ones like the bugs and some of the less sentient frogs, she'd ignore/spare them.

She'd instantly be taken aback by Sans, not fully trusting him, but not being hostile either. She wouldn't avoid him, but she'd be firm around him because she doesn't know what he's fully capable of, jokes and pranks aside. I also doubt that she'd ever fight Sans since the only way to is via the genocide route, and I don't see Homura ever doing it even out of pure curiosity. She's not the type to enjoy killing, even out of just wanting to know additional information.

For Papyrus, I also don't see her killing or injuring him. She'd probably find his boss fight mildly annoying/a small obstacle, but once she realizes that he's mostly harmless and his battle is quite easy, she'd just defeat him and ignore him for the rest of the run without a second thought.

She might kill a few more monsters in Snowdin, particularly the more aggressive ones out of self defense, but she'd leave most of them alive and would just avoid them.

Once she gets to Waterfall, I see her learning to just ignore the smaller monsters from now on. She'd also find the Temmies annoying, but helpful in small doses.

Once she runs into Undyne, her first reaction would be to avoid her until it's impossible, then she would try to compromise and reason with her, and then once she realizes that it's impossible, she would injury her just enough to get her off her back without any regrets. Homura would view Undyne as someone who does what needs to be done, but too stubborn for her own good. She likely wouldn't like Undyne their first encounter.

Once she gets to Hotland, she'd ignore the guards and would only kill the really aggressive monsters found later.

For Muffet, she'd likely tell her that she never killed any spiders, and depending on if Muffet believed her, she could end the battle peacefully. However, if Muffet doesn't, I could see Homura attempting to calm her down and only doing a bit of damage until Muffet comes to realization herself.

I also think that she wouldn't have any qualms about injuring Mettaton considering he's only hurting her for views and not out of a noble pursuit like Undyne. She wouldn't even entertain his little game and would just go straight to trying to convince him that she isn't a threat, but once that proved futile, she'd trash his robot body and wouldn't feel bad afterward since she knew he was a ghost.

I think once Alphys reveals that it was her behind Mettaton's antics, Homura would initially be a little angry, but after some time, she'd forgive her or at least wouldn't be mad anymore once she hears that Alphys only wanted Homura to think she was cool and didn't intend for her to be hurt.

Like I said for Asgore, she'd understand why he did what he did, but she would still defend herself and Asgore would understand. She would end up killing him/having him killed by Flowey since she's doing the neutral route.

She'd find the Flowey boss fight jarring at first, but she would quickly learn there's a method to his madness and dispose of him.

She'd likely end up getting either the Undyne Queen ending or the Papyrus king ending, but once Sans calls her and Flowey tells her she could get a better ending, she'd likely do a Pacifist route and would befriend Asriel once she understands what he went through.

In terms of closeness, she'd likely remain the closest to Toriel and Asriel, and the furtherest from Undyne and Mettaton. Sans she'd be mostly neutral about and Papyrus she'd find mildly annoying but ultimately harmless.

However, during the Pacifist ending, she'd probably choose to go her own way rather than stay with Toriel.

Random's Lore Drops - Flowey, the Psycho.

Obligatory 2:30 AM post (please help I'm an insomniac I think), so here's lore drop on the flower that nobody really mischaracterizes. That's right, IT'S...

Flowey the Fucker- I mean, Flowey the Flower. Yes, I went out of my way to find a sprite by toby fox that wasn't the exact same, so uh... bow-wearing Flowey lmao. Anywho, Spoiler warnings, so don't stay if you haven't played the hit game Undertale by Robert Fucking Fox. Or, at least, I think Fucking is his middle name. It'd be funny as shi- Oh yeah, I'm writing. ANYWAYS, Flowey the Flower is the antagonist and literally the final boss for two of the main endings (but one of them isn't actually Flowey). Or, well, "two", not including the fact that there are, like, fifty neutral endings with the same boss. Now, if you don't know much about him, he's a psychopathic, sadistic talking golden flower with no SOUL. Literally, he is SOUL-less, and so, he is soulless. That's basically his whole premise. His backstory is (SPOILER-FUCKING-WARNING) that he is Asriel Dreemurr, son of Toriel and Asgore Dreemurr, resurrected after his demise, but this time as a sentient flower due to a DT experiment gone wrong. As Flowey the Flower, his whole shtick is to be as deceiving as possible, acting as a fake tutorial in an attempt to kill you at the start of the game, using you so you can reveal the SOULs as you fight Asgore and weaken him to kill him, using you as bait in order to bring all of the major characters together so he can capture all of them and absorb their SOULs, along with the human SOULs, and finish you off, shattering Asgore's SOUL at the end of a genocide route in order to prevent you from leaving the Underground (since, knowing us, we'd just wipe out all of mankind), and also... well, that's all I can remember, really. Within the genocide route, he almost immediately mistakes you for Chara right after informing Toriel about her cars extended warranty that she couldn't pay since she was in the Ruins and thus sending the IRS after her, while it only takes a whole pacifist route for him to refer to you as such, as he usually just goes and refers to the player as "you" or, in the most Flowey way possible, "IDIOT" in the neutral route. He IS capable of feeling emotions, such as annoyance and anger, boredom, it's just so muted that he's almost emotionless, and due to this, has CANONICALLY murdered the ENTIRETY OF THE FUCKING UNDERGROUND MULTIPLE TIMES OVER, (and somehow people say Asgore is worse for killing only 6 human kids, when, in theory, Flowey has killed many more monster children) ranging from the most random Monsters ever, and despiseable Monsters, like Jerry, or Icecap, to Monsters like Toriel, who is, theoretically, as he is Asriel Dreemurr, but as emotionless flower, HIS OWN GODDAMN MOTHER. His whole reason as for why he wants the human SOULs in a Neutral route is to "become GOD", and in the Pacifist route, he just wants to do everything all over again, from the beginning, back when he and Chara were still alive. Because remember, in Pacifist, he STILL mistakes you for Chara until after you win against him. ...Oh, and remember, UTY isn't actually canon, so canon Flowey (as in Undertale canon, not UTY canon) doesn't know who the fuck Clover is. That's about it.

[tameable50]

rReady for every mistake in Story of Undertale????

1: “Faced an evil talking flower in a pot, explains the plot”— Flowey is not in a pot at any point in the game (Exeption, POSSIBLY photoshop Flowy?), and he never explained plot details.

2: “Toriel saves me and takes me to her home, hooks me up with a brand-new monster phone” — Toriel does not take you home, you find Home yourself. Also, the Monster Phone is stated to be extremely outdated.

3: “Leaves me alone, but I escape and meet some bones” —Toriel doesn’t leave you, she just pushes you away when you attempt to exit the ruins. And you don’t “Escape”, you kill her or you spare.

4: (Prechorus) “Should I be a pacifist, or should I use my fists”l you would know your route as soon as you face Toriel.

5: “Asgore is shaking, he hears my approach “ In either route, he doesn’t hear you walk in, ever.

6: “I’ll slaughter sans and squash his bro like a roach” Sans is not the one who dies first, it’s papyrus. It’s also not even confirmed if Sans actually dies.

7: “Chara’s my coach, all these monsters I will poach”— Chara does not interact with you at literally any point until the end.

8: “Start a new war, humans overwhelm” In Genocide, since there are quite literally no monsters left in the underground, there could be no war.

That’s everything I noticed <2

Your Autism is going insane/neg from that video

[iwontusethis255]

FUCK YOU, IMA POST THREE UNDERTALE AUS IN ONE POST, BITCHES

FIRST ONE, MADE IN LIKE 2020

ENSOULED

PREMISE: after a genocide route flowey goes to asgore and tells him about the human. asgore understands that this flower knows more than him, and entrusts him to give the human souls to whoever he deems fit. thus, this au. after defeating asgore, he gives both his human and monster soul to flowey so he can go to the surface and escape, but flowey goes to the surface and takes down 6 more humans becoming his hyperdeath form. however, the human is stronger, they were able to defeat 6 Ensouled Monsters, what's one more gonna do?

NEXT ONE, MADE IN LIKE 2021/22 I THINK

FLIPTALE

PREMISE: 3 years after the Monsters were trapped underground. W. D. Gaster, the Royal Scientist, under the nose of his lab assistant, Alphys, made a breakthrough. The Power of Dog. It far exceeds the power of a human soul. The power of 6 monster dogs, is stronger than that of 7 human souls. With this information, Gaster performed experiments on the monster dogs, eventually removing their souls entirely, replacing them with determination to keep them alive. The queen, Undyne, was not aware of how Gaster had obtained these souls, but what she did know was that the barrier was near breakage. However, the canines, missing their soul and having only determination, had grown into horrid abominations. Alphys had encountered one, and in his quite literal blind rage, he blamed her for their fate. Alphys, stricken with horror and grief, fled to the Ruins. Meanwhile, one dog monster was able to escape the laboratory before they could lose their soul with the help of their lover. They both knew the dog was not going to survive if they stayed in the underground, so the lover gave their life for the dog monster to cross the barrier for a better life on the surface. Papyrus Gaster, the new royal scientist, had attempted to recreate his fathers work after he had retired, in order to find a way to reverse it and fix the dog experiments. He added determination to a soulless object, a mushroom from the barrier, to see its effects on it. One day, the mushroom disappeared. The lover was reincarnated as that mushroom and, stricken with grief for the love of their death, they had made friends with Asgore and Toriel, under the new name Ragel, while they were at Nick’s Nice Cream Parlor. In the meantime, 8 humans had fallen into the underground, and since the fact human souls could open the barrier was lost the times, they were drafted as royal guards by the captain, Sans, (who was only put in power because Papyrus begged the queen to make him) and lead by Asriel. Papyrus, eager to help someone in need, created a body for a ghost named Madra, now Madroid, who soon became a celebrity in thee underground, even having a resort, multiple tv shows, and a restaurant chain. Meanwhile, Ragel was in grief. It had been so long, Ragel had even forgot everything about their long lost love but their face. The dog monster, in disguise on the surface, falls into the underground on an annual walk to their lovers grave

THIRD ONE, MADE LIKE A WEEK AGO?

UNNAMED THING

PREMISE: so i was thinking about how many undertale aus had sans as the literal only character. so i had the idea to make an au where each member of the cast was from a different au. But i decided to make the Frisk be from an au made by me. so introducing Corpse Flower! in a neutral fight (bc pacifist and genocide are too common) frisk (with charas ghost) was fighting flowey (with the 6 souls) and losing. however, in some way (idk yet) they fused. my current ideas are that the 6 souls forced omega flowey to help and then somehow that happened, or flowey having souls caused him to regret?? iunno ill keep it vauge until i figure it out. anyway this aus pretty foggy rn but ill keep yall updated. oh also kris from deltarune is in the main cast for an unexplained reason

The Philosophy of Undertale

Originally posted December 1st, 2015

Fortuna, Will to Power, and DETERMINATION

So, if you haven’t played Undertale, this is part of the article where I join the hype train and tell you that you should. It’s a fun and relatively short role playing game that’s fantastically written, and it’s also one of the funniest games I’ve ever played. The greatness of Undertale goes beyond humor though; it also serves as a critique of the Machiavellian notion of conquering Fortuna and the Nietzchean Ubermensch.

Spoiler Alert: This article spoils all three of the three possible endings of the game, so if you haven’t played through them yet, you should probably do that first.

Now, before we dive into Undertale, let me refresh your memory on what that philosophical jargon means. In his writing, Machiavelli attempts to dismantle the ancient understanding of Fortuna, or the idea that humankind’s best efforts will always be limited by our circumstances. Machiavelli didn’t believe that Fortuna was something that people had to accept, and so he argued for the conquering of Fortuna through force, with The Prince being a guide for how a ruler is to overcome Fortuna.

At the core of Nietzchean philosophy is the concept of the “Ubermensch,” or the “Overman.” The Ubermensch is a man who exerts his will to power over all those around him, dominating them so that they serve his purposes. Nietzsche came up with the Ubermensch in response to Modernism’s failure to prove the existence of an objective morality, and conceptually, the Ubermensch represents the idea that in the absence of objective morality, all that matters is how much stronger one person’s “will to power” is compared to another’s (or to paraphrase Plato, justice becomes the advantage of the stronger).

Getting back to Undertale, Machiavelli’s concept of Fortuna is represented through the concept of DETERMINATION, which your character is filled with anytime they visit a save point in the game. You discover at the end of the Genocide route that DETERMINATION is what allows you to reset your timeline to your last save, and you have a conversation with Flowey, who used to be able to reset time in this way before your character came along. This ability to reset time is the ultimate method of conquering Fortuna, but the game shows the negative consequences of this ability when it tells us Flowey’s story.

Flowey was a flower injected with DETERMINATION by Alphys, the royal scientist, and it came to life after being injected. This flower contained part of Asriel’s soul, a monster who was the prince of the underground, and he was brought back to life as a sentient flower. Flowey was rejected by his mother and father, Toriel and Asgore, and his isolation led him into a deep depression, causing him to commit suicide.

But as Flowey neared the brink of death, he realized that he didn’t want to die, and then he reappeared back at the beginning of his life as a flower. He then realized that he could reset his own timeline by bringing himself to the brink of death, and after a while, he began to use his ability to manipulate people. His ability to completely conquer Fortuna led him to a state of moral depravity, and he lost the ability to see people as anything but tools for his personal gain.

The Nietzschean Ubermensch is also shown through DETERMINATION, as the ultimate realization of the Overman’s potential. Nietzsche’s Ubermensch was able to overcome most human limitations through his will to power, but even he couldn’t overcome death. DETERMINATION allows your character to persist beyond even death, and when combined with your character’s domination over the lives of the monsters on the Genocide route, your character becomes an Ubermensch beyond what Nietzsche could have believed possible.

Of course, this is not without its costs; at the end of the genocide route, it is revealed that your character has been playing into the schemes of another since the beginning. Their name is Chara, and ever since they died in the underground, they have been plotting their revenge. By going through the underground and killing every single monster, you help realize their scheme, and after destroying the underground, they are released.

Chara then confronts you with a question: do you want to destroy the entire world? Of course, if you tell Chara that you don’t want to destroy the world, they will reveal that you have long since forfeited that option. The only choice Chara leaves for you is the option to reset your timeline, and proceed through the underground once more, as Chara respects the strange sentimentality you hold towards the world. (Interestingly, even Chara, the embodiment of destruction, suggests that you take a different path, as it might be better for you).

DETERMINATION, and its associated will to power beyond death, has other negative effects as well, which are seen in the True Lab along the Pacifist route. In the true lab, you discover that Alphys has been performing experiments with DETERMINATION, injecting it into monsters so that they might persist beyond death as well.

In the lab, you see that DETERMINATION is actively harmful to a monsters being, causing them to physically melt, with some melting together to become Amalgamates. The monsters, who throughout the game are shown to be very kind and nonviolent, cannot exist alongside DETERMINATION, and in this way, Undertale makes its final critique of Nietzschean morality: the will to power is actively destructive towards kindness, generosity, and goodness, and it is impossible for these things to exist within Nietzsche’s amoral framework.

*Flowey/Asriel is able to survive containing DETERMINATION because of Asriel’s soul bonding with the flower that was injected. The flower’s physical form is stronger than a monster’s body, and so DETERMINATION will not destroy it.

┆˹ 🍃 ˼┆◌ Hello hello! I introduce myself, I'm fiance mizu and I'm here to talk to you about my project, an Au based on undertale! •🫐 ▸

-*comic in progress*-

Fanart made by a Twitter artist!

✨ ━━━━━Who is saved sans?━━━━━ ✨

╰┈➤ Saved sans is the guardian and protector of promises, he is in charge of taking care of them and that nothing bad affects the progress of fulfilling them, giving advice head-on, oh in your head, being as if you were giving it to yourself

╰┈➤ where do you live? he dwells and lives in Promisetale! an Au "destroyed" practically, in that au there are only floating lands surrounded by a great galaxy, and in these lands there are various echo flowers where the promises of each Au are kept, even yours

fanart made by saw - Minerva, an artist on Twitter, the full drawing can be found on her profile

╭✩*⢄⢁✧ --- Saved data and likes/dislikes¿ --- ✧⡈⡠*✩╮

ɞ ๛ *- saved is a calm skeleton that only seeks to help others keep their promises, not to abandon her or forget her, she is serious and mature in issues or situations that require it, but always smiling

ɞ๛ *- saved is not one to live with much, he is always in Promisetale oh in different alternate Aus taking care and watching over the promises

ɞ ๛ *- saved have friends? of course! among these are PaperCrane, ink, Dream, blueberry, screw, quill, athena, kamay, kind, hardthey, etc.

ɞ ๛ *- saved loves to eat churros! It is his favorite dish, and even more so if it has chocolate on top, he is a glutton

fanart made by saw - Minerva, an artist on Twitter, the full drawing can be found on her profile

ɞ ๛ *- saved give off any friendly aura? No!! The only thing Saved does is help promises to be fulfilled to the letter, and when he does not achieve his goal, he just withdraws, leaving that monster alone, even if it causes him damage.

ɞ ๛ *- one of his dislikes oh phobia is water, not touching it or anything like that, just being surrounded by a lot of water, like being on a ship in the middle of the ocean with no way out He practically has thalassophobia

ɞ ๛ *- he hates people who are liars when they promise another person something that he knows he can't keep. He dislikes that!

ɞ ๛ *- he does not like to touch or pluck some flower echo of Promisetale, since these contain the promises and can cause harm to him

ɞ ๛ *- What was Saved's first friend? This was PaperCrane, since he appeared first in his Au and helped him with his mental and physical problems, giving Haci the beginning of a friendship even though they have had fights.

fanart made by saw - Minerva, an artist on Twitter

ɞ ๛ *- Saved is Arobixesual, he likes both genres but doesn't feel love for them? Idk

fanart made by saw - Minerva, an artist on Twitter

๛ *- did you have friends and family? Yes, but they died together with Brokentale [Promisetale] since PaperCrane accidentally destroyed it, although they were already dead from the genocidal route they were going through, although now they aren't that dead hehe

ɞ ๛ *- Saved has enemies? Yes, hidden who "should" be the keeper of the promises is, wanting to kill him for taking his life, since he is Saved's first failed attempt

🥀༶ •┈┈┈ Who is hidden sans? ┈┈┈• ༶🥀

°As already mentioned, hidden is the enemy of Saved, it is also a "destroyer" it is the first failed attempt by gaster to recreate the guardian of the promises

⏤͟͟͞͞⪼ Hidden is a bit grumpy and serious, he doesn't like or like to be around others or that others want to be around him

⏤͟͟͞͞⪼Hate promises, feel that they are not so important that you have to take care of them or protect them

⏤͟͟͞͞⪼He does not live in a single Au, he travels from Au to Au practically seeking to make some monster break his promise or forget it to cause Haci damage to Saved

⏤͟͟͞͞⪼ hidden is not afraid, he thinks that it is something silly and that fear is for the weak

⏤͟͟͞͞⪼ He likes coffee sweets, that's what gives him strength and what he sometimes eats

⏤͟͟͞͞⪼ hidden is gay, although he hardly accepts it, he doesn't even accept the fact that he has a partner

⏤͟͟͞͞⪼ hidden's partner is called kye, who he met in Outertale, their relationship is Canon

kye belongs to @dulcelawaifu [on Twitter] just like the drawing below

⏤͟͟͞͞⪼ hidden has a gaster blaster, although he prefers to fight more hand-to-hand with his spear and "knives"

⏤͟͟͞͞⪼ hidden doesn't fight much with other people, the only hate he has is towards Saved

For example, he sees someone hurt or in trouble, he will help him, since those people are not to blame for what happened to him, he thinks that the only one to blame for being discarded is Saved, even if whoever gets in his way of ending him Saved becomes his enemy instantly

===✨°Why are promises important°✨===

°This way of acting helps to strengthen personal will and, at the same time, projects an image of credibility on others. The fulfillment of promises is a golden rule for coexistence

°If the promise is broken, the trust between the two people is lost, something that if it happens several times can end a friendship or even a relationship

° When you make a promise, you are giving your word to someone, and that person will expect you to keep it. Being able to keep your word or your promises says a lot about your character and who you really are. trust is very important

° Fulfilling the word decompresses psychologically, lightens the load, reinforces self-esteem and makes us feel like people worthy of all merit, respect and value

° practically the promises cause positive feelings, yes that is something that Dream supports in taking care of

꒷︶꒷꒥꒷‧₊Clarification of some things‧₊˚꒷︶꒷꒥꒷

•the friendship between ink, blueberry, uh Dream is not canon, it's just a headcanon, so to speak

•Quill, screw, athena and kamay , kind if they are canon friends! its creators are on Twitter

• PaperCrane does not belong to me, it belongs to little-noko

• hidden and Saved are not the same person nor are they siblings!

🩷=If you have any questions, just tell me and I will gladly answer you=🩷

🫐Thanks for taking the time to read! I have a few more things to say but I didn't want to make it so long, thanks anyway!🫐

[averageundertaleblog]

i kinda had this empty account since 2019 and never did anything with it but now im just gonna use this to talk about my undertale aus and stuff, even if people don't really get to see any of this it's still cool to log my stuff

anyways uhh lemme just list my aus rq and give them each a short explanation

Dusttale: A Different Approach

- Basically a combination of Something New & Dusttale, the player finishes a genocide route and wants to take a different approach to the game. They rewrite and alter majority of the game's code until they managed to control Sans and play as him, however Sans is still conscious and becomes the narrator instead of Chara. The player attempts to do a pacifist route but Frisk was seen moving around and basically starts doing a genocide route on their own, oooooo. Spooky. So the player decided that the best course of action was to kill everyone and become stronger while also preventing Frisk to get any more LV.

Storyshift: A Tale Amongst Legends

- Several neutral routes takes place and Chara gets pissed off so they meet Shifty at around Waterfall and start battling. Eventually Chara gets tired of Shifty trying to toy with their world so they attempt to reset but Shifty also tries to as well. Causing a massive collision between the two resets and changed their world drastically, Asriel now has mental breakdowns, King Sans is over 10 feet tall now, and the barrier never existed in the first place, basically everyone became different whether it was little or significant. Chara couldn't find Shifty anywhere so they just accepted this changed world of theirs and lived their life as normal, until a blond "drama queen" was brought into the story.

(This AU is actually my friend's instead of mine but I kinda work like the co-owner and writer of it so eh, plus my friend said it was cool to talk about it here so here we are)

OVERTURN

- Story is still WIP but basically the barrier was shattered long ago thanks to W.D Gaster Skeleton and the rest of his team and monsterkind decided to keep living in Mount Ebott. Due to this, the seven previous children weren't killed and instead taken cared of. They're also kind-of in another war in some way idk me and my pals have to think about that.

(Recently made AU me and my two best friends are cooking up rn, kinda inspired by EPICTALE)

A DIFFERENT TALE

- Basically an AU where me and my friend's OCs were just self-inserted into the UNDERTALE universe in a way. A bunch of races had a world war and humanity won, the humans locked the war prisoners and experimented on some of them and treated them very harshly, studying them into getting more power. However this formed an uprising and created an entire united army known as the Resistance, some humans joined this army while the rest of humanity stayed together and fought against the Resistance in this second war. Humanity once again won and sent their strongest "heroes" to banish the Resistance army into a pocket dimension, which was basically an island on a neverending ocean.

yeah uhh you can criticize or whatever idrc im just showing off because i can lol, maybe if i get enough followers i can do some ask blog thingy within one of my aus, that would be nice

Grand Finals: Chara Dreemurr (Undertale) vs. Amane Momose (MILGRAM)

Propaganda below the cut

Chara Dreemurr (?):

They were constantly blamed for killing all of monster kind in the no mercy route, despite players choosing to go that route. People ignored that they sacrificed themselves to attempt to free the monsters from the underground.

----

everyone wants to blame their own actions (genocide route) on chara, who is a literal child. i don’t know how to tell you this but you are the one playing the game. it’s about YOUR CHOICES. chara is there is punish you for that, you killed the only family that ever loved them! how could they not be upset at that! also if you don’t mind, here’s a good video essay on the subject 

Amane Momose (12):

Amane was voted guilty in the first trial so that she would acknowledge her guilt. It backfired, and now she’s considered a threat. Well, everyone is a threat, but nobody’s threat level has been as heavily discussed and debated as hers. Consider the next prisoner in line, Mikoto. He’s objectively more dangerous and cannot be restrained. He beat up the guard in trial 1, and he was able to hold his own when the other guilty prisoners were attacked. But a good incentive to forgive him is so that he will calm down. You know what? That’s a good incentive to forgive Amane too! But she *can* be restrained, so a good portion of the discussion went into how she should be voted guilty so she *will* be restrained and not a threat. Since her vote was a near 50/50, of course a good chunk of the voters expressed dissatisfaction with her forgiven verdict. Some are already planning to vote her guilty for trial 3, calling her a “lost cause”. She hasn’t even done any concrete harm yet. Hold the pitchforks until she actually causes harm, please? And what if she *was* voted guilty in trial 2? We’ve been warned that she will continue to deny our judgement. A second guilty verdict won’t make her better either, and then what? She’d be called a “lost cause” as well. There is no winning with her.

----

Where do I even start? So first of all she’s an cult child who was physically and mentally abused and tortured by her parents and then (presumably) murdered her mother after her mother killed a cat that she took care of.

Now everyone in Milgram is a murderer but when Amane came and her MV showed her murder and circumstance in an admittedly highly fictionalized depiction of it the audience decided to…repeat the cycle of abuse!

She was voted guilty for the main reason of “teaching her” and helping her “realize that she was abused.” I would like to note that this tough love approach is something her parents utilized against her. “We are only doing this to help you.”

So the audience replicates Amane’s abusers and repeats the cycle of abuse and that’s pretty shitty but it isn’t exactly “Fuck Em Kids” level.

And then Trial 2 happened. Cause Amane is bitter and angry and horrifically traumatized so she acts aggressive and hostile. Especially towards another prisoner.

Now, again, everyone here is a fucking murderer (of atleast could be constructed as one) These people being able to Harm is a core concept of this series.

Yet for some reason it feels like people treat Amane as a “delusional creepy kid who wants to kill people” which completly takes away the nuance of her character. She does have the capacity to harm! Everyone here does! She’s not Uniquly Dangerous! She just has a Reason to be Dangerous. A Reason we GAVE HER by REPEATING THE CYCLE OF ABUSE.

In short: In a series full of Murderers I’m honestly a bit pissed that the 12 year old abuse victim is the one who’s treated like the guy from American Pyscho.

----

TL;DR: "We metavoted this abused, indoctrinated child guilty in trial 1, but it didn't work. Now she is a threat to three grown adults: one who is fully free and two whom she has been shown to get along with. Please metavote her guilty again so she will be restrained and unable to attack them, even though that means subjecting her to further psychological torture." Amane Momose is the youngest of ten murderers, prisoners of Milgram who are to be judged innocent (forgiven) or guilty (unforgiven). In the first interrogation (voice drama), she said that what she did was in line with her religion's doctrines. If we judged her the "wrong way", she said she will just deny the verdict. Combining the voice drama and music video, you could piece together that she was raised in a cult and abused, even though she is cheerful and downplays her pain. She never shows *who* she killed, only *why* she did. After the first day of her vote, she was 81% innocent, but this wouldn't last the whole three months. Many people voted her guilty so she would "see her sins", part of the practice commonly known as "metavoting". Her innocent percentage rapidly decreased, and she hit guilty in the last 15 days, finishing at 51% guilty. At the end of the first trial, Jackalope (who is something like a host) went over all the prisoners' verdicts and commented on the general reasoning. When he got to Amane, he *laughed* at the audience for voting that way to make her realize her sins. Trial 2 rolled around, and it was revealed that Amane's victim was her abuser. On day one, she was at 74% innocent. Seems like a cut-and-dry case now, right? Well... in the intermission, two of the prisoners (Fuuta and Mahiru) were badly beaten up and became reliant on the care of Shidou, a doctor. Amane became hostile to Shidou because what he was doing was against her beliefs. She visited all three of them on their birthdays to convince them to change their ways. She seems to be especially close to Fuuta, who is now murmuring about salvation. Guilty prisoners are psychologically tortured, forced to listen to voices that reject their beliefs. Fuuta and Mahiru both say that the mental strain is worse than their physical injuries. But Amane, who also looks worse for wear, was thrown under the bus because she isn't injured and is considered a physical threat to them (never mind that she gets along with them). She's considered a threat to Shidou, a grown man who is twice her size and fully free, while she is partially restricted by the long sleeves in her trial 2 uniform. She might indoctrinate Fuuta even though, in a prison of ten people and one guard, she's the only voice of her cult. Fortunately, she got a break. Her vote was falling at a similar rate to the first trial. But this time, it stabilized at 51% innocent, 12 days before the end of her vote. But there's no way this is over.

[ultimate-character-design]

Pleasantly surprised at the outcome! Also using this as propaganda for each of these medias.

Link Click is a mystery time travel show about these two guys who team up and go back in time through photos to solve cases. It is a master class in suspense and emotion, and it's one of my favorite shows of all time. TW for depictions of murder, suicide, and abuse.

Inside Job is an adult cartoon, and it does have that stereotypical, vulgar adult humor from time to time, but it definitely has pretty clever and smart jokes that are genuinely funny too. Inside Job is a show about this corporation known as Cognito Inc. which is dedicated to controlling America from the shadows and covering up conspiracies. The main character, Reagan, is incredibly sardonic and the other main character, Brett (he's in the poll!) Is your stereotypical "yes man" with a heart of gold. They make such a wonderful duo, and season 2 just gets so good. I will warn you though... Netflix canceled Season 3. I do think it's still worth watching, though.

Centaurworld looks incredibly silly and dumb, and it is. But it's also incredibly serious and grim. I think it sets up the juxtaposition between both worlds incredibly well, from the more rigid, anime style of the human world, and the soft and round Calarts style for the centaurworld. Such a juxtaposition makes The Nowhere King that much scarier and that much of a better antagonist for our TW for death, war, and attempted suicide

I don't remember much about Nier since I played it so long ago but I remember that I played Replicant (still havem't played Automata) and it made me cry. Soundtrack is also a banger.

Wind Breaker is one of my favorite mangas, and they just recently released a Season 1 for an anime earlier this year (with Season 2 coming out later this year). As someone who loved Tokyo Revengers but got frustrated at Takemichi rather often (opening is a banger though), Wind Breaker seemed to have everything I wanted. A strong main character who learns that accepting others is another form of getting stronger, the found family, and the character dynamics are also all excellent. A very wholesome delinquent manga/anime. Season 2 will also have Tsubakino, and I love Tsubakino so much.

Everhood is... how some people would say... Undertale on LSD. The overworld is very similar to Undertale, but in battle, you hop between lanes with attacks coming at you, like Guitar Hero but you're trying to avoid the notes (at first). It has a more unique perspective on genocide than Undertale does, where the main/good route is the genocide route.

Toilet-Bound Hanako-Kun has a super cute art style, but the story gets... surprisingly dark and emotional. It's a lovely blend of the cute and funny human world, and the darker spirit world. TW for murder, death, mentions of suicide, cannibalism, minor horror, and probably a lot more?

Alien Stage. Man. TW for death, angst, none of your favorite characters will be safe from The Horrors. It's a free series on Youtube that's pretty short--like only around 30-40 minutes of content total. Humanity has been taken over and enslaved by aliens, and a select group of humans are trained specifically to sing for a competition where the loser is killed.

Elevator Hitch is a fun and short point-and-click horror game that involves the main character, Protag, getting stuck in an elevator before a job interview. It gets a little weird, and if you die, the Protag remembers. It also has a good amount of humor.

Gokurakugai is a cool manga about Alma and Tao, who run a Troubleshooter Agency that basically solves people's problems, including ones dealing with maga which are basically like. Evil demons/spirits that come from the remains of people and animals. It is a bit gory, and there's only about 23 chapters right now, but I really like it and I'm excited to see more. TW for violence and death, on-screen depictions of suicide, etc.

Experiment:

Reblog this post and add a poll of your own to the reblog. You can make it a poll about anything. Let's see how far it goes.

[clownfly64again]

Another Underground battle sprites, part 2.

In order: Ettablook and Chenara, Quanda, Freaky Mr. Fish (neutral final boss), Halnin Hopiful (pacifist final boss phase 1), Ultrannihilation Halnin (pacifist final boss phase 2), Unbroken Nisse (genocide-only boss), and Royal Redil (genocide final boss).

Chenara sorts some papers as Ettablook snoozes.

Quanda stands firm.

"I don't care WHAT I need to do. I'll flood the ENTIRE UNDERGROUND if I have to!"

Halnin glows with a strange power.

The whole world is ending.

The rivers around you are boiling.

He isn't invincible. Keep attacking.

Important lore/story stuff:

The soul effects are changed up and mixed around from Undertale. Jaydrin gives you a Purple soul, which has you move from box to box. Nisse gives you a Yellow soul, which lets you fire arrows, and you can charge a strong arrow. Ettablook and Chenara give you a Green soul, which gives you two shields, a solid shield in front and a ghostly shield in the back. The solid shield blocks normal bullets while the ghostly shield blocks ghostly bullets. Emmkay Ultra and Layla Ultra give you a Blue soul, which is affected by gravity. It can also dash straight upward once per jump, although the dash can be restored via cyan bullets.

The main character's actual name is Jordi. I've been using Carrie since you can't actually play through the game with the real name in the original Undertale. Carrie is the name of the very first fallen human.

The six human souls were hidden by Redil and Layla because someone was trying to steal them. Because of that, Mr. Fish isn't able to absorb them at the end of the Neutral route, leading to him freaking out and starting an underwater battle. He has more time to look while everyone is distracted at the end of the Pacifist route, so he finds them then.

The Gaster-like entity, the last living Demon, is what caused the first fallen human (Carrie) to sacrifice themself in an attempt to break the barrier with Halnin.

There's an item called the Savior Shell that saves the holder from one fatal hit. There are three of them in the underground. Layla has one that she found in the lab when she moved in, and you can get it during the Neutral or Pacifist routes right before the Emmkay Ultra fight. Nisse has one that he got from the third fallen human (after Carrie), and you get it in the True Pacifist route right after the date with Emmkay. Mr. Fish also has one that he found in the deepest parts of the Underground, and you get it toward the end of the Genocide route.

The fact that Nisse has a Savior Shell is important. It never comes up during the neutral route, but he brings it with him to fight you in the Genocide route, which is how he survives until the Unbroken Nisse fight, where he uses the Weapon and Armor he got from the third human.

Redil really is weaker than Jaydrin. That's why he uses the six human souls in the Royal Redil fight at the end of the Genocide route.

After the Jaydrin, Unbroken Nisse, and Layla Ultra bosses in the Genocide route, you get special armors. Jaydrin drops his crown, which decreases the attack power of all monsters who served Jaydrin when it's equipped. Nisse drops the Yellow Bandanna, which massively increases your defense, but also massively decreases your movement speed. Layla drops the Cyber Eyepatch, which decreases the defense of all technology-based enemies when it's equipped. Wearing it also lets you access the True Lab.

Upon judgement, Redil tells you about one of the six humans that fell after the death of the princess. If you've managed a pacifist run, he tells you about the first human, who tried to help the monsters but was eventually killed by the Rat King. If you've managed Genocide, he tells you about the third human, who was sent to kill the monsters. If you got neutral, he tells you about the second human, who started the town in Glacier Forest. If you only killed Nisse, he tells you about the fourth human, who managed to escape Nisse, but lost to Quanda. If you only killed Jaydrin, he tells you about the fifth human, who convinced Jaydrin that he was the one who was supposed to be king. If you only killed Emmkay, he tells you about the sixth human, who got Emmkay and Layla to work together to build Lava World. He never tells you about Carrie though.

After the Halnin battle, Ronin reveals that, through the strange quirks of succession to the throne, Jaydrin really is supposed to be king.

I've been playing around with the idea of a hard mode, started by talking to the Demon in the genocide route while using Jordi as your name. The final boss would probably be Carrie puppeted by the Demon.

The battle sprites themselves can't be used, but you can use these characters in text boxes and Overworld Mockups on the Demirramon website!

[stormoftara]

In Undertale, I've attempted the genocide route twice but I've never actually completed it. The first time I couldn't kill Papyrus. I just couldn't do it. My precious boy.

The second time I kept getting killed by Undyne so uhh I gave up.

I feel like I might be able to do it now since I've practiced a lot. Not Undyne but I mean in Deltarune I had to practice a lot to beat Spamton and Jevil. Undyne's fight is unique with the arrow thing and it really trips me up. Ehhh maybe I'll just do a normal playthrough lol
