something that will always bother me (until i get it answered) is whether or not solmare based off of/got inspired by mettaton for Asmo
like i know it’s a very specific personality and overall likes as a trope but still it just, they give off the same energy, someone was listening to death by glamour in that studio i just know it
like i need them to make a QnA just so i can ask this question it has bothered me for so long it makes so much sense but there’s always a chance of it just being a crazy coincidence

the pinned post
Tumblr media
im a spamton blog. i'll rb general ut/dr stuff, but it's mostly spamton.
i like to organize my posts with a tagging system so it's easier for me to look through old stuff.
IN PROGRESS!!! i'm going through all my old posts to add organizational tags. who knows when i'll be done. help! help me!
tag directory below the cut. its a lot!
mostly for my own reference. stuff rb'ed more than once won't have organizational tags on the re-reblogs, just the #rerun tag. all the tags listed have a link!
tags usually go in this particular order
misc tags -> spamton tags -> collection tags -> character tags -> user tag
misc tags
(comments & organizational stuff)
🔹#(words!) just thoughts on a post :)
🔸#myart - something that i made
🔹#spammail - an answered ask
spamton tags
(categorizing the type of spam)
🔹#spamton - it's spamton! any kind
🔸#theOriginal - the 'classic' spamton design...still pretty variable!
🔹#sneo - spamton neo
🔸#addispam - past addison-spamton; usually white hair, pre-puppetification?
🔹#bigshot - past successful spamton; usually red suit, pre-or-during puppetification?
🔸#spex - fan-made 'spamton ex' design
🔹#spam2n - alt spamton design/fan-made 'au' char based heavily on spamton
🔸#tonspam - 'abstract' spamton interpretations that don't quite fit other tags
collection tags
(spamposts following themes)
🔸#spamton burger - intrigued by how common this one is
🔹#spamton mosquito - newsletter impact
🔸#crucified spamton - it keeps happening
🔹#gluetrap spamton - deserved
character tags
(chars that appear in a post other than spamton. here they are alphabetically, help)
incomplete, list in progress!!!
#addisons - #cungadero - #flowey - #jevil - #kris - #lancer - #mettaton - #maice - #papyrus - #pipis - #plugboy - #poppup - #queen - #ralsei - #sans - #seam - #susie - #swatch - #swatchling - #tasque - #tasque manager - #werewire - #werewerewire - #yes man -
user tags
(to keep track of particular artists! tumblr hates searching a blog's posts by user, but it's fine with tags!)
🔹#user:(username here) - i won't be listing every artist here or i'll die
example: #user:spamton-deactivated19970420
🔸#limited - for posts with a deactivated user, or that the user has deleted from their blog

Splatoon undertale Au because I can't sleep. I will state who would be what character and why I think they would, any disagreements or comments on this are encouraged
In this Universe Humanity wasn't completely extinct and eventually came back to the surface and coexisted alongside the sea turned land creatures but eventually grew fearful of them and attacked their cities forcing them underground. The sea people ( I don't have a better name to generalize everyone) would definitely put up a better fight than the monsters didn't undertale but cephalopods weaknesses to water and Humanities probably more advanced technology would out do them. Everything basically plays out the same as undertale from there except for the fact that they're trying to use humans DNA to open giant mechanical gate the humans use to keep them underground, just go with it and the royal guard is the NSS . Until Neo 3 lands I'm the underground (which would probably be a connection or mix of the domes, Alterna and the deep-sea metro.) Is initially Guided by Craig who nicknams them neo 3, clashes with agent 3, fights pearl until they get tired, beats agent 8 who's trying to go to the surface to be a star, then fights Octavio. I'll assume determination isn't a thing here or at least not in the fourth wall breaking way of undertale, so after Neo 3 beats Octavio everyone else comes to intervene then are all captured by Callie (when she got splatted her soul instead of flying into a respawn Point flew into a flower) who.... uh wants to absorb all their ink to regain her body and gain power? but is defeated by neo with the help from the others, Callie realizes the error of her ways and uses the power she got to destroy the gate. Then everyone lives happily ever after I guess.
Agent 4 - Sans
Chill and laid back on the surface, cares deeply for those around her. Likes telling jokes and pulling pranks, is definitely underestimated by everyone. Sibling Vibes with agent 3. Would most definitely be deadly if you got on their bad side or hurt someone they care about. Has a few secrets.
Agent 3 - papyrus
Would definitely be overly dedicated to her cause and more effective than most people give her credit for. Can be a bit blinded by ambition and is desperate for approval. Goes by agent 3 to show her dedication to joining the group and forced agent four to do the same.
Pearl - undying
Could definitely be dedicated to a cause, strong and imposing despite her clear flaws.
Marina - Alphys
Smart, shy and desperate for approval all fit Marina. Is definitely hiding skeletons in her closet. Has a crush on pearl
Agent 8 - Mettaton
8 is shown to be photogenic and can definitely give off movie star vibes, especially since 8 saved the world in heels if she can do that she doesn't need stuntmen, plus they do have a good relationship with Marina
Octavio - Asgore
Old and bitter and is dedicated to revenge for the good of his people but it's shown to be willing to do the right thing, gives off gay vibes with cuttlefish too so they can be ex's
Cuttlefish - Toriel
Is shown to be caring sort of... definitely a guide of some kind and would probably not approve of Octavio's decree to destroy the remains of humanity
Callie - Chara
Has both good and evil sides, can easily be lead on the wrong path. Tbf this one's a stretch
Marie - Asrile
Could definitely be shown as caring but also open to making mistakes
Frisk - Neo 3
Would be human, basically falls down a hole into a whole new world that they have to Traverse. Plus they definitely give determined kid vibes

Game!Tale
Hey, so... I saw a while ago about Jakei doing her last Underverse episode... and that took me back to when I started doing my own AU... so I wanted to talk about it!
I never did much with that really, I wanted to express myself with writing since I gave up on drawing... but I discovered that was another thing I was not really good with.
What I'm good with is having ideas, even though I can't fit it all together so why not sharing it all? If someone still wants to do something with it, feel free... but the main point here is sharing it.
So, starting with the world, it would follow the basics of undertale, but heavily focused on puzzles.
The Royal Guard members would be Royal Scientist devoted to make weapons and creating ways to defeat humans, some would use puzzles, others would use robots or even improve their bodies with science.
Most regular monsters would give riddles, puzzles and things that test your mind in general instead of the usual fights.
The usual puzzles from room to room would be much more deadly like the lasers we see in the final stages of the game.
As for the main monsters that are treated as area bosses (or something similar), I will give a resume about them:
Toriel would be one of the few people to not rely on puzzles nor machinery but her magic alone would be used in such smart way that dodging her attacks could be considered a puzzle by itself;
Papyrus would be a brilliant Royal Scientist, but he was unable to join as a official member, the reason? He would be focused way too much in doing traps (which is not his specialty) instead of Puzzles that is what he excels at... his traps would be very non-letal, showing both his incompatibility with the method and his naivety;
Undyne as a member of the Royal Scientists would develop a variety of melee weapons with special properties, she would not be as strong as her original counterpart but she would use special armor to make up for it, you can think of her like a technological Erza Scarlet;
Alphys would be the creator of the armor Undyne uses, her monster chimeras not only would be way more stable but would also be the Royal Guard of this AU, because of that she does not to work as much anymore, resulting in something similar to what we see in the game;
Mettaton would be another member of the Royal Guard of this AU, being way more combat focused with samurai-like swords, Alphys would pretty much design Mettaton with her anime mindset and instead of the TV shows, Mettaton would do vlods of the daily jobs and similar stuff, mainly focusing in being something similar as a youtuber;
Asgore would be very similar to Toriel in the meaning that his magic and attacks would almost act as living puzzles. Before fighting him Frisk would have to travel a entire room made of traps using Asgore's fire magic, all of them being very letal;
For Asriel/Flowey there's no need to change his focal points, only difference being he was unable to stay determined due to Sans being even more aware of timeline changes and directly fighting against him;
Sans would be the most different one, as a ex member of the Royal Scientists he had direct contact with the first human to die there after Chara and would later be responsible for doing experiments related to human souls, resulting on him absorbing the soul of the same human he had contact with in the past. The reason why his design was full of stars is because that human would share the same love of stars that the monsters who live in the underground have.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At some point I even did think about Sans having some kind of time chamber in his lab that would be unaffected by timeline changes and such. All around cool ideas but I could never fit this huge puzzle together... Anyway, my usage of tumblr is very low in the past years and I even doubt someone will read it but if you did, I hope you liked what you saw.

hee hee hoo hoo
Do not click Keep Reading unless you're ready for one doozy of a post
In all seriousness, I'd like to write something that will be a sort of avatar of me, something fit to serve as the role I wish to play, something playfully chaotic, but fitting to the fandom I wish to remain with.
some inspirations I have for some of the posts I have written include, but are not limited to:
Merasmus (tf2)
Zim (invader zim)
maybe Fischl? (genshin impact)
Heinz Doofenshmirtz (phineas and ferb)
As you can see, the lineup is pretty chaotic (insert sarcastic comment about the list being short).
But enough with that.
For the new avatar/lbpsona, I would like to try and improve on the pattern of speech as shown by this post right here.
I'm smelling the wacky glamour of a wizard-warlock who loves the aesthetic that Evil has, but does not take Evil seriously enough to commit actually heinous acts. The Harmless, F in Evil, Card-carrying villain who's not actually a villain, ya dig?
So!
With the general outline of the avatar's personality out of the way, let's go on to actually look at some characters who's designs I really love.
1. @lacking-hydration's lbp narrator design
Tumblr media
This one is mostly because I like the face stickers and the footwear. I do like the energy this gives off though.
2. Leslie from DHMIS
Tumblr media
This is because of the crazy and wacky colors (and the crazy patchwork stuff)
Both pieces are by different people, and check them both out if you can.
alternatively, here are some actual images of the in show character
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. Miss Frizzle from The Magic School Bus (og)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Because this is part of the zany energy I am looking for
4 Mettaton EX from Undertale
Tumblr media
I should not have to explain why
5 Merasmus from TF2
Tumblr media
Because despite the fact this guy looks serious, he's actually a very incompetent doofus wizard/warlock thing.
...
C'mon, this design literally screams evil, what do you want?
Aaannnndddd
That's about the most stuff I can bring myself to put together.
please tell me what direction I should go because this whole attempt at organizing my ideas is turning into a mess, I need help.
if you have any suggestions, please reblog this so that I can get a grasp at what I am dealing with.

Okay, okay, Undertale AU now. 
So... I’ve been playing Undertale again... as I do once a year since it came out. It’s tradition. So I was kind of thinking who from the Dsmp whould fit which role... and yeah... 
(I also wanted to add that none of the characters who are in a romantic relationship in the game are in this au. As a matter of fact, no romance in general here!)
First of all, we gotta give the role of Frisk to Ranboo, not because he played Undertale, but because of that one time that he told the story of how he flirted with his opponents in volleyball (was it volleyball? Maybe another sport. It’s irrelevant!) and that’s simply a very Frisk thing to do...
Then first monster we encounter is Flowey and... I mean... that’s c!Dream right there. All the focus on “fun” and “power” and seeing life as a “game” and the bloodlust... yeah, no that’s definitely Dream right there. 
Then Toriel comes in! Yay! Puffy is Toriel, no doubt. Both of them have a focus on protecting the children and they’re both really kind, but can get hella scary when angry... 
Also Niki is Napstablook ... mostly because she basically did end up haunting/being haunted by the Secret City for a while... also pretty sure both like music and are pretty soft spoken
Then we get the skeleton brothers! Well, Sans first... and who would fit Sans better then Wilbur! Both of their characters struggled heavily with mental health related problems and they are both really strong but somehow also weak at the same time... (strongest boss in the game with 1 hp and all that) not to mention that they both have way too many simps...
Also that means Tommy is Papyrus. I do not make the rules here. Hyper younger brother who is endlessly optimistic and soft hearted? Yep! That’s him!
Which, may have you think that Tubbo is Undyne because, you know, best friends, but no. Undyne is, in fact, Philza Minecraft everybody. They don’t call him Angel of Death for nothing, so he definitely gets to be the captain of the royal guard in this one! He’s just a much more laid back but equally deadly Undyne.
Also Techno gets the role of the socially anxious nerdy scientist, because he’s been ibernating under a pile of dogs for a few months now and also because he once got peer pressured into murder much like Alphys did into building a murderous robot... so yeah. 
Also, to complete the ghost family now: Jack Manifold gets the role of Mad Dummy, cousin of Napstablook, because they’re both short, bald and full of spite
And none other then Eret gets the role of Mettaton (other cousin of Napstablook) because they’re both absolutely fabulous and because they’d rock the Mettaton EX form...
Moving on,Schlatt is Asgore. He and Puffy are brother and sister. Why? Because they are both sheeps and it would fit... though admittedly Schlatt has had less moral qualms with killing children then Asgore so far, they do both have that in common as well
Which brings us to Tubbo inevitably being Asriel, because sheep guy, but also because, as a character, he has a history of being pushed around by power hungry people with more charisma then him, and also because Asriel in his God of Hyperdeath form has a f*cking rainbow laser cannon and I think that’s a very Tubbo thing to have...
Quackity is Chara. Both are pretty vengful and power-hungry characters who are not afraid of doing some seriously f*cked up shit to get to their goals, but also they both care about those close to them deeply and have a sort of tragedy to their character
Also Awesamdude gets to be Gaster, and no it’s not only because there is as much Awesamdad fan content as there was Dadster despite neither of them ever being confirmed as canon, but because both characters are brilliant inventors who got screwed over by their own creation...
For some other fun bonuses I could think about: 
Sapnap as Monster Kid just because of the absurdly chaotic personality
BBH gets to be Muffet, for no particular reason aside from general vibe
Foolish as Burgerpants because they’re both underpaid and extremely stressed
Punz as Grillby because: money and intimidating aura
Purpled as Nice Cream Guy because: money
And this is pretty much all I could think about... I would include others but I’m kind of stomped at the moment...
So here’s some revisited quotes instead (under the cut):
Flowey!Dream: “Howdy! it’s me Dream. Dream the Dreamon!”
Toriel!Puffy: “Did you want to hear about the book I’m reading? It’s called “72 ways to crack an Egg”. How about it?”
Papyrus!Tommy: “Ah yes, Music Disks, a great reference for theoretical battle scenarios and parties! To which I get invited just constantly!”
Papyrus!Tommy: “W-well, that’s not what I expected... but st- still! I believe in you prick! You can definitely do better! Even if you don’t think so! I... promise....”
Sans!Wilbur: “On days like this, kids like you... should be suffering in Limbo!”
Sans!Wilbur: “Just... don’t say I didn’t warn you. Well. I’m going to Punz’s. Tommy, do you want anything?”
Undyne!Phil: “...Forget it. Look mate. Tommy didn't come to his meeting today. Say what you want about him. He's loud, he's bit selfish, he's obsessed with disks... But Tommy has NEVER missed a meeting. (...) But now he's gone. And his brother isn't around, either. ... What did you do to him? What did you DO TO HIM? Tommy, who I have trained every day... Even though I KNOW he's too soft to ever hurt anyone. Tommy who is... was just a child... ... Go ahead. Prepare however you want. But when you step forward... I will KILL you”
Alphys!Techno: “A long time ago, I made a robot named Eret. Originally I built them to be a farmer robot for my potatoes... didn’t turn out quite right there. Anyway, recently I decided to make them more useful. Heh, you know, just some practical adjustments.... and I might have been carried away a bit and added some, um... Anti-human combat features?”
Asgore!Schlatt: “I'd like to ask, 'would you like a protein shake?' But... you know how it is”
Asriel!Tubbo: “I always was a pushover, wasn’t I, Quackity? I know... you’re not actually Quackity are you? Quackity’s been gone for a long time. Um... what... what is your name? Ranboo? That’s... a weird name bossman...”
Chara!Quackity: “Hey man. I am Quackity. Thank you man. Your power brought me back from Limbo. My "human soul"... my "determination"... they were not mine, but YOURS. At first, I was so confused. Our plan had failed, hadn't it? Why was I brought back to life? ...You. With your “guidance” I realized the purpose of my reincarnation: POWER”

Mettaton is a False Prophet - Pt. 2
This is a continuation post from my older theory back when Undertale was still the big thing that Mettaton was a false prophet designed by Alphys and Asgore to fulfill the Deltarune prophecy, which explains all of his eerie similarities to Flowey and Asriel. Here is Part 1 if you wanna catch up!
[UPDATED INFO FROM DELTARUNE CH. 2]
With the debut of Deltarune Chapter 2 came a fan-favorite newcomer called Spamton, and the interesting thing about his character is that it has a lot of similarities with Mettaton, especially his secret form known as ‘Spamton NEO.’ Now, the general story behind his character is that he was once a spam email puppet account who was never able to make a deal. This was his life until he was called by a mysterious person who suddenly made him wildly successful by continually aiding his career over the phone, eventually causing his friends to leave him over their envy of his newfound success. This success eventually landed him a spot in Queen’s mansion until it all came crashing down one day, and the only remnant left of him was a dead phone line tied to him that only repeated static back at anyone who tried to call it.
As everyone’s likely aware of now, there is a hidden bossfight in which you can, once specific conditions are performed, fight Spamton NEO, a version of Spamton hooked up to a suit that unabashedly resembles the same form Mettaton took on in the no mercy route of Undertale. This suit has been referred to as ‘the machine’ which is described by Swatch as the creation of an unknown Lighter, “digitally visualizing their hopes and dreams which never came to be.” This then became an incomplete dream which was locked in Queen’s basement. In battle, the fight also resembles the fights the player had with Mettaton through Undertale, with their soul turning yellow and shooting projectiles to take Spamton down. But the similarities between the fight against Mettaton Ex and Spamton NEO don’t end there, as both fights involved taking apart components of the body gradually over the course of the battle, with Mettaton having his limbs blown off and Spamton having his strings cut.
Now, this backstory is all very important as it alludes back to the body’s origin in Undertale as a creation of Alphys to make its host proficient at killing and absorbing a human soul. The description of the body is textually different but similar, in that Mettaton NEO was designed for the purposes of killing explicitly whereas Spamton NEO’s body is described by Swatch as being an agent in which one can envision their hopes and dreams through an implicit power of determination.
It’s important to note here that, career-wise, Mettaton is quite similar to Spamton in that they both had great and newfound success upon accepting a deal that gave them some meta-knowledge of the world they inhabit, with Spamton being told that the world he lives in is a game that can be exploited (as implied by his dialogue), and Mettaton was granted some of the same abilities that Flowey possesses (changing the game’s name, being able to audibly speak, and being a monster soul possessing an inanimate object). Whereas Mettaton is a story of continued success, Spamton is a story of failure, but how does this fit into the context of the theory that Mettaton was a failed attempt to fulfill the Deltarune prophecy?
That quote from Swatch on describing the purpose of the body is important to explaining this, as it eerily resembles Mettaton’s role in Undertale’s story as a machine designed to harvest a human soul and potentially fulfill the Deltarune prophecy but was unsuccessful to do so because Mettaton is a false prophet. The theme of false prophecy and failed transcendence is exemplified by Spamton’s backstory, as the power of meta-textual awareness granted to him (by Gaster presumably) resulted in short-term success that rose him to the heavens only for him to fall down hard back into being forgotten. The fall he suffers from cutting off his strings is a dual-layer metaphor for how Spamton fell from success and how Mettaton was unable to fulfill the Deltarune prophecy unlike his parallel successor Flowey.
And if it wasn’t obvious that Mettaton’s constant desire for your soul is equivalent to Spamton’s desire for [hyperlink blocked], he goes on record describing all of the control he’d have over his life if he were to harvest your [hyperlink blocked], implying that the hyperlink is code for determination. Spamton also routinely refers to “heaven” throughout his dialogue, which could imply anything transcendental, but I believe this is also another direct allusion to the Deltarune prophecy and its description of an angel: The divine vocabulary fits. Perhaps Mettaton was trying to indirectly achieve this reception from heaven through his promulgation as an icon of monsterkind wanting so desperately to have a human audience? Perhaps this constant appeal ‘heaven’ is Spamtron’s version of Mettaton’s constant appeal to a nebulous audience? If that’s the case, it implies that the audience of Mettaton has divine power, which seems to suggest that it’s composed of far more than just monsterkind. Another minor thing to note here is that Spamton also refers to “the presses” if you defeat him by depleting his health bar: “WAIT!! [$!?!] THE PRESSES!”
“KRIS, DON'T YOU WANNA BE [Part] OF MY BEAUTIFUL [Heart]?” is a very unsubtle nod to the process Chara and Asriel underwent to bypass the barrier and return to the Surface. There must be something about the abilities that the NEO suit offers that is implicitly tied to the Deltarune prophecy. Spamton’s constant use of the phrase ‘big shot’ is another multi-layered metaphor. The ‘big shot’ in question is a triple entendre, as it refers not only to Spamton’s aspirations, but also the fulfillment of the Delta Rune prophecy and also more banally refer to the yellow soul’s newfound ability to shoot a charge shot.
After sparing Spamton NEO, he offers some dialogue that resembles Flowey’s plea to you after defeating his Photoshop form, in which he asks why you’re showing him mercy after all of the unnecessary cruelty he did to you to prove his worldview correct. He then goes on to make a reference to Pinocchio in which he asks you to cut his strings and make him a “real boy” (an even funnier phrase given that he’s a puppet). But this is also an allusion to Mettaton, as he reveals to you throughout the game that his robot body designed for him by Alphys is a form that makes him feel more like himself because it’s implied that Mettaton is an incorporeal ghost like Napstablook. He then makes one least appeal to Heaven and says he’ll live for himself and his friends, acting as a microcosm of both Mettaton and Flowey’s character arc.
In the “weird route”, Spamton also makes remarks prior to battling him that allude to Mettaton NEO’s fight in the no mercy route: “THANKS TO YOUR [Total Jackass stunts] I HAVE [Becomed] NEO.” “TO [$!$!] ME OVER RIGHT AT THE [Good part]!? WHAT ARE YOU, A [Gameshow Host]!?” “MY ESTEEM CUSTOMER I SEE YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO DEPLETE MY HP! I'LL ADMIT YOU'VE GOT SOME [Guts] KID! BUT IN A [1 for 1] BATTLE, NEO NEVER LOSES!!! IT'S TIME FOR A LITTLE [Bluelight Specil]. DIDN'T YOU KNOW [Neo] IS FAMOUS FOR ITS HIGH DEFENSE!? NOW... ENJ0Y THE FIR3WORKS, KID!!!” One line in particular references Asriel calling Chara’s name before Frisk lands in the bed of flowers in the Garbage Dump: “YOU MAKE ME [Sick]! MUTTERING YOUR [Lost Friends] NAMES AT THE BOTTOM OF A [Dumpster]! NO ONE'S GONNA HELP YOU!!! GET THAT THROUGH YOUR [Beautiful Head], YOU LITTLE [Worm]!”
This is an even more poignant line, as Spamton resides in Trash Zone, which is meant to resemble the Garbage Dump area of Undertale, which was a point in Waterfall where you were given a hint into the backstory of the game before landing on a bed of flowers. It’s also the area where you encounter Mad Dummy and where Alphys dates Undyne in the true pacifist route. Clearly, the symbolism of taking place in a dump is very important for connecting the worlds and stories of both of these games, given that it’s such an important spot for two major characters tied to Mettaton.
If it weren’t obvious at this point, Spamton damn near confirms that Mettaton was designed at least partially to fulfill the Deltarune prophecy but was unable to because he didn’t possess the same potential or determination that Flowey had due to his lack of relation to the original human and his focus instead turning towards an abstract human audience. The dialogue from Swatch about Spamton being the embodiment of a Lightner’s dream also implies that, keeping in line with the themes of desire in the Dark World, that Mettaton might be directly responsible for the creation of Mettaton. Perhaps this is why the NEO suit so eerily resembles the God of Hyperdeath if it’s directly tied to Mettaton’s desire to fulfill the Deltarune prophecy. If this is the case, isn’t it a bit odd that the God of Hyperdeath is also implied to be Asriel’s creation from flavor text in Kris’s room? What an interesting parallel.

I know I’ve said this before and it’s a controversial opinion but I really don’t like the fandom consensus of Mettaton’s ghost form being like... pink with ghost-hair that looks like his EX form’s hair. Like, I just feel like the ghosts having a similar generic appearance would fit better with how some of them like, yearn to have bodies to stake their identities on. If he’s always looked like Mettaton, it removes the element of self-determination in him becoming Mettaton.

The True Power of NEO: Part 1
Series Thesis: Mettaton had decent reasons to think confronting the human in his NEO form was a good idea, and to think he’d survive the encounter and be a hero. However, he didn’t fully think it through, and his desire for a humanoid form warped his reasoning.
The series is organized as follows. (Use the tag "The True Power of NEO" to navigate.) Part 1: Mettaton’s reasoning. Part 2: Where everything went wrong, and why. (General Trends) Part 3:Where everything went wrong, and why. (Specific Details) Part 4: And yet...his death is meaningful.
Introduction
Tumblr media
Mettaton has a unique role in the Genocide Route. He’s a Genocide Route-exclusive boss, who makes a dramatic speech about his “anti-human functions not being entirely removed” and transforms into Mettaton NEO. He has an exclusive battle theme, and a speech acknowledging the genocidal human’s crimes. Still, for all his build-up, he dies in one hit, and gives the genocidal human however much EXP is necessary to reach LV 19.
His battle is strange for other reasons, too. On the Genocide Route, Mettaton claims his Mettaton NEO form was made for human extermination and his boxy form is more “photogenic”, but, on other routes, he makes the opposite claim. The latter claim makes more sense, given his boxy form’s very high defenses and how his body is described as invulnerable. Despite supposedly being made for extermination, Mettaton NEO goes down in one strike, even if one barely hits him in a near-Genocide Route. Mettaton’s body also explodes when he dies, but it deals no damage.
Why? Why is his fight so strange? Why would he ever think fighting the Human was a good idea?
Tactics
Tactic 1: Mettaton is the Bomb (Literally)
Tactic 1 Summary: Mettaton would block the CORE’s exit by self-destruction of his body. This would block the human’s progress or at least buy a lot of time to evacuate others, and contact Asgore to get him to absorb the human SOULs and fight the Human. It’s possible Mettaton would survive his body’s self-destruction, assuming he didn’t fuse with his body.
Mettaton (in his NEO/EX form) is one of only three enemies to explode when he dies. (Tsundereplane and Mad Mew Mew are the others) Mettaton’s explosion could theoretically be weaponized: in fact, it’s plausible it was upgraded (if hastily) for this.
First, Mettaton NEO’s explosion lasts for a while. Tsundereplane, Mad Mew Mew’s, Mettaton EX, and Mettaton NEO’s explosions last one, four, seven, and eight seconds, respectively.
Second, it’s big. Mettaton EX’s, NEO’s, and Mad Mew Mew’s explosions all turn the whole screen white and then black for several seconds, suggesting a huge, blinding explosion. In contrast, Tsundereplane’s explosion doesn’t cover the whole screen, and its death makes the screen flash white very briefly.
Third, in addition to lasting one second longer than in his EX form, Mettaton NEO’s explosion grows faster when triggered. For Mad Mew Mew and Mettaton EX, the explosion only starts after they are done speaking, but Mettaton NEO’s text is still on-screen when the explosion starts. (Note: When Mettaton EX is damaged, his arms fall off, and his arm sockets smoke. Tsundereplane also has mini-explosions as it dies and says its last words, before crashing to make a much bigger explosion.)
Furthermore, in the Neutral/Pacifist Route, Mettaton's body is left behind after he explodes, and it’s trashed beyond repair. Yet, in the near-Genocide/Genocide Route, his body isn’t left behind, although it logically would. If his body’s explosion were upgraded to be stronger, that might explain the lack of a corpse: his body became shrapnel that stuck to the ceiling. 1
Thus, he could plausibly block the CORE’s only exit through self-destructing. At the very least, this would massively delay the Human. It’s vital: it gives more time to evacuate New Home, if the human still has a chance to get there, or to contact Asgore, have him absorb six human SOULs, and wipe out the genocidal human.
Mad Mew Mew survives the explosion and dismemberment of her body, so Mettaton, too, surely would survive his body exploding. If he could set his body to self-destruct by timer, he could easily leave his body near the entrance, and then phase out of his body and go through walls to flee. If there was no timer, he might survive if it were a physical explosion, since ghosts are immune to physical attacks.
Blocking the exit by body explosion ahead of time is sensible, reasonably low-risk, and seems to fit Mettaton’s and Alphys’ motives.
For Alphys, one should note that in the Genocide Route some floors of Hotland are inaccessible through laser traps, and the elevator to New Home won’t work.2 Given her hacking abilities and the fact she’s leading the evacuation, Alphys most likely did that. In fact, she had so thoroughly blocked off sections of Hotland that, had she evacuated Muffet from her den as planned and sealed the den’s exit, the Human couldn’t leave Hotland at all. Additionally, since the MTT resort elevator to New Home won’t work, the human has to take the long way around though an unpopulated area (the CORE). For Mettaton, indirect tactics are in-character for him. He does re-arrange the CORE in the Neutral/Pacifist Routes, perhaps to ensure the human will encounter the mercenaries he hired, and he offers a lot of money to Muffet for the Human’s SOUL. Therefore, it would make sense Alphys would tell Mettaton to seal the CORE exit, or that Mettaton would decide to do so on his own.
Tactic 2: Offense Over Defense
Tumblr media
Tactic 2 Summary: Mettaton made a decent choice in choosing his Mettaton NEO mode, because it could (in theory) hit hard and fast but still take a few hits. (Slightly less well-supported than Tactic 1.)
Although Mettaton EX is not invulnerable, he's a fairly difficult boss. He can attack with a larger volume and variety of bullets, in versatile combat patterns with unique combat mechanisms (the fast-forward/rewind technique). He uses a unique SOUL mode, too, and if Mettaton only fights the human once in the Genocide Route, the human would have no practice with this mode. (like for Undyne). Mettaton’s a pretty formidable foe, even when he's focusing on glamour and dancing rather than killing the human as quickly as possible.
Mettaton has very good stats, too. His boxy mode has 9999 HP, 30 AT, and 255 DEF, while his Mettaton EX and NEO forms have 1,600 HP, 47 AT, 47 DF, and 30,000 HP, 90 AT, and 9 DF, respectively. While Mettaton NEO's defense is much lower than the other forms, he has the most HP and AT. In theory, Mettaton NEO is a mode that emphasises offense over defense, but can still take several hits. If Mettaton strikes hard enough, he wouldn’t need to fight for very long. Furthermore, assuming Mettaton NEO has a higher AT stat than Mettaton EX and was more focused on killing a human, he might actually succeed. (That's not even counting the possibility he could dodge or fly)
Tactic 3: “You wouldn’t kill a human, would you?”
Tumblr media
Tactic 3 Summary: Believing the human would be reluctant to kill someone who looks humanlike, Mettaton takes on a humanlike form. If the human cannot kill Mettton, they would be drained of the will to exterminate, or quit after “killing” him. Of course, Mettaton would actually survive since he’s a ghost. (Least plausible interpretation, since Mettaton thinks the human is a “threat to humanity”)
Mettaton thinks the human might be reluctant to kill someone who looks so humanlike. The human would be unable to kill Mettaton, and thus be drained of the will to exterminate, or quit after “killing” him. (see real players quitting after killing Papyrus; now apply it in-universe to someone who looks shockingly humanoid)
Humans have a deep-seated aversion to killing their own kind, to the point killing humans comes at a high psychological cost. Indeed, according to the book The Most Dangerous Animal: "[...]the most traumatic form of killing involves looking a person in the eyes while taking his life. It is an experience that often haunts men for the rest of their lives.” Soldiers sometimes get PTSD even when killing in self-defense or in defense of others, and their turmoil is surely greater when killing those who don’t pose a threat. (e.g., children) Psychologically, the easiest way to dodge this and exterminate vast swaths of people is to conceive of them as non-humans: as wild beasts, vermin, pests, or simply “monsters”. Although Papyrus, Undyne, and Sans look pretty humanoid, Mettaton NEO/EX are definitely the most human-like, due to the humanlike face and body.
Due to his admiration of human culture, Mettaton might have known about this tendency, and made it part of his plan. Taking on a suddenly very humanlike form would confront the human with an aversion to killing other humans. Furthermore, if he couldn’t (or didn’t) attack, the Human wouldn’t be able to justify attacking him in self-defense. Progress on the Genocide Route is only possible through clearing out areas and exterminating bosses, and the Human can make no exceptions. If the human cannot kill Mettaton NEO, they’ll lose the will to fight (or at least for exterminating).
His plan hinges on a human not wanting to kill humans/someone who looks so humanoid. In any case, if Mettaton hasn’t fused with his body yet, a physical strike cannot hurt him, and he will survive if his body is destroyed.

As for why it's not visible...video game limitations. For example, Toriel notices when Frisk is hurt, despite Frisk's sprite showing no damage, and when Toriel fights Frisk, the room has no scorch marks, despite the volley of fireballs.  ↩︎
In other routes, a manticore says: "The elevator goes straight to the capital. [New Home] But it stopped working." (If inspected, it says “in use”, no matter the route)  ↩︎

"Better luck next time, fellas!" ~Mr. Peanut to 2nd and 3rd contenders Geniusman (Tottemo! Luckyman) and Mettaton EX (Undertale) as he proudly shows off his "Loving" Cup that he won for being the official Winner Of My Heart this year
Hi, everyone! How are you today? I bet you're pretty tired of being mostly cooped up inside. But don't worry--I have something right here that might catch your interest.
As some of you may know, March is National Peanut Month. Now, that's not exactly something worth celebrating for peanut allergists...but, on the other paw, March is also National Nutrition Month, National Kidney Month, Optimism Month, Spiritual Wellness Month, National Women's History Month, Irish-American Heritage Month, and International Listening Awareness Month, among even more things. March is also, of course, the first month of Spring. So there's much more to celebrate in March than just peanuts.
However, in this blog post, I'm going to celebrate peanuts. I could go on and on about peanut butter, my favorite food ever, the average jar of which is made with hundreds of peanuts. But, I'm just going to focus one one peanut this time--one of the most famous peanuts of all time--the one and only Mr. Peanut, mascot for the Planters brand of nuts and snacks. Why? Because he's my biggest cartoon crush.
.......say waaaaaaa~~~t?
But isn't he dead?
youre just posting your april fools joke too early
Nope. It's all true!
All the recent hub-bub about Mr. Peanut, including the infamous commercial where he literally dies, reminded me of this earlier commercial I saw on T.V. back in 2018 (the first video featured in this post), which utilized the same sleek design he was animated in during his passing. After finding it on YouTube, I found other videos of him, and this social media browsing eventually brought me to his Twitter account, where I browsed all of his posts from 2018/19. I immediately fell for his optimistic attitude, his sweet personality and especially his support for his friends and followers...and the rest is history. He has the looks, he has the heart--and now he's helping me to grow up.
But why him?? How could an overdressed anthro peanut top, let alone compete with, these practical princes of men? How would crushing over a cartoon help me grow up in any way? And last (and strangest) of all, why am I suddenly going "nuts" over the now-defunct version of a character who just 2 months ago died and came back as a baby?
I will answer all those questions in approximately...right now!
Being autistic, I have a more child-like mind-set than others my age--one facet of this is the ability to immerse myself in imaginary worlds and connect with characters. Thinking of characters, "talking" to them and even trying to act like them has gotten me through many a tough time. As I take inspiration from their personalities and actions, I find more fun and creative ways to spice up my every-day life, stay calm when things get stormy, cheer me up when I feel down, or pep me up when I get sluggish and demotivated. I use different characters to help me with different aspects of life. The two types that always helped me the most were characters with pure hearts, and characters I had crushes on.
Recently, though, I had been looking for a character that would help me take on one of my toughest challenges--accepting the fact that the world is equally as cruel as it is kind, while staying a calm and collected person, and then handling it all just by myself--to put it in two words: growing up. I won't go into detail (in this post, at least), but life had been extremely cruel to me last year. I had a lot of trouble accepting it, and I was losing my self-control. But considering that I'm going on 23 now, I knew that I had to get it together, or else I would stay a crying ball of nerves, trapped on a bed, forever. Being one of the less restrictive aspects of having the heart of a child, I knew that modeling myself after a good-natured fictional character would be a perfect start--but I needed one exceptionally powerful character to pull this off. I needed a crush with a pure heart.
Then it suddenly and silently occured to me, as I continued to take in his various pictures, videos, GIF's and Tweets, that Mr. Peanut was it.
His sleek and curvy body, his elegant limbs, refined features and gentlemanly disposition--not to mention the fact that he's wearing white gloves and has one eye always covered--immediately calls to mind my best cartoon crushes: Geniusman from the anime "Tottemo! Luckyman" and Mettaton EX from the game "Undertale" (who are both looking salty alongside Mr. Peanut on the winner's podium in the top picture). But what really got me was what he didn't have that the other crushes did, he made up for with his unique personality, that my other crushes, in turn, didn't have:
You see, Mr. Peanut rests comfortably on two fine lines that few characters have even been able to stand on. The fine line between "handsome and stylish" and "conceited and mean", and the fine line between "peppy mascot" and "mature and modest gentle-man". All except for a "brief" 10-year stint where they tried to "re-invent" him (Yes, I'm talking about the one who spent the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade dabbing), he's always been a gentle, friendly, quiet character whose main goal in life (besides selling nuts) is to help people and make them happy, "shelling out" plenty of pep while also remaining proper and well-composed.
He never got angry for more than a second or two, and handled (almost) any problem he faced in the smartest, most dignified and most fun way possible. And of course, he's very sweet and always thinks of those he cares about first. He also, despite being a mascot for snacks, loves to play sports and stay fit and healthy--and he encourages others to do the same. And finally, despite being a mascot in general, he always had this quiet, unassuming air to him. He made all his necessary appearances and entertained his customers, yet he always acted very natural about it and never hammed it up or acted super wild and goofy--a thing that most other cartoon mascots fail to do.
So he's not just eye-candy--he's also a perfect role model. That covers the "first of all". Not only does he give me the incentive to be a dignified lady who always does the right thing first, but he gives me that euphoric, limerance-enduced energy I need to really want to act upon it. All my aspirations to be more courteous, be more proper and elegant, be more brave, lead a healthy and active life-style and be a good mascot for Ekaki No Mi are finally coming to fruition. That covers the "second of all".
Yes, this all sounds very silly. But In a "nut-shell", he's the reason I'm finally growing up, so in a way, this is all anything but silly. I would be a hot mess without him...which is exactly why I'm speaking of him in present-tense (using "is" instead of "was"), and pretending he never became Baby Nut or even died in the first place. Here's where I cover the "third of all".
For those who don't already know about his apparent death and resurrection: for their big pre-Super Bowl LIV commercial (the second video featured), Planters took a very unusual, very controversial approach: Their preview commercial depicted Mr. Peanut sacrificing himself to save his friends by letting go of a branch on a cliff that was too heavy to hold him and actors Matt Walsh and Wesley Snipes. The actual Super Bowl commercial (the third video featured) depicted his funeral, which the Kool-Aid Man, among others, attended. A magic tear from the Kool-Aid Man caused a peanut plant to grow out of the ground and sprout a "Baby Nut"--the official reincarnation of Mr. Peanut. Here are the two commercials, in order:
But what people often don't realize is that Mr. Peanut is a cartoon--a form of art--and art, except in very specific cases, is meant to be interpreted by the viewer. If the story isn't satisfactory, people can ignore some parts and pretend that others play out differently, until it fits what they believe in. And the characters and their actions can hold secret meanings that only the viewer sees. In fact, the same character can don different personalities and clothes, and exist in different universes, doing different things--all at the same time. (Think of all the different versions of Mickey Mouse that exist at the same time, even today.)
So is the case with Mr. Peanut. As long as his original likeness still exists--anywhere in this world--he's still alive and well. And even if the actual Planters corporation says he's Baby Nut now, he's still the same old Mr. Peanut in another part of the Internet, in another part of the world, or in any alternate universe. Many, actually. In one of them, he could be "Miss Peanut". In another, he could be a radical "Teen Nut". And in another still, he could actually be the evil capitalist peanut everybody says he is--you know, the one who struts around in his aristocrat clothing while roasting his fellow "pea-ple" and selling them to humans as food in order to get richer...
...which I like to think is not true, because the real peanuts he sells for your eating pleasure could never have flexy bright-yellow shells or humanoid features, could never breathe, cry, blush, say "Whoa!" when startled, wear clothes, be cuddled by a person with a peanut allergy without triggering it, and couldn't even survive on their own for more than 4 months, let alone 104 years. When they grow, it doesn't happen in the blink of an eye--peanut plants take about 3 or 4 weeks to mature (on days that strictly aren't frosty, no less), and the peanuts themselves grow under the ground--totally different from how Baby Nut came into being.
In short, the peanuts we eat aren't cartoons, like Mr. Peanut is. And since he is, I can interpret him any way I want, just as any other person can. So he doesn't have to be a cannibalistic capitalist. He can be the dapper yellow fellow who sells and eats yummy, natural and nutritious morsels that happen to look a bit like him--think of how humans eat little crackers and gummies that look like other people--and, most importantly, is not dead and never will be, because people still love him and believe in him, and belief and imagination transcend death, at least when it comes to fictional characters.
(I especially have the right to believe he's dead because it's one thing to kill off a character in a series for story reasons--it's another thing to kill a revered and internationally-known brand mascot just to create a social media buzz and generate profits. Now that's capitalism!)
But at the same time, I can't help but admit that it was at least a unique social media experiment, and despite the nasty secret intent behind it all, it was very interesting to finally get to see how Mr. Peanut would die, how he got born (and reborn), and what he looks like as a baby. And honestly, with his big round eyes, squidgy body and dainty features, I actually think Baby Nut is pretty cute--certainly too cute for me to want to break out a mortar and pestle and make peanut butter out of him--but he's just not Mr. Peanut. Mr. Peanut was such a unique character that it takes some very special minds to make a character that even comes close to a replacement--sadly, Baby Nut just doesn't make the cut.
Thanks to the power of love and imagination, though, he's still his good old self in my heart. Besides, he may just grow up and come back some day. So in conclusion, he still is, not was, and always will be, the best role model and "husbando" I could ever ask for. He's got the looks. He's got the love. He's cute. He's graceful. He's dapper. He's daring. He's silly. He's sexy. He's serene. He's cheerful, and he always brightens my day. He's everything I could ever want, and more.
Some day I plan to release an art collection featuring the lovable legume sometime in the near future. I would have each picture creatively high-light a different aspect of his personality, taking inspiration from charming vintage art-work that would fit the theme of the picture as well as actual Planters merchandise, and I would utilize various retro art styles and techniques from different time periods to give each picture a distinctive "old-fashioned" vibe.
The collection will be available on all my art web-pages, including my possible future Patreon (if I can get enough subscribers!), and I'm hoping I can also get it shown off in a gallery somewhere (if there are enough Mr. Peanut fans here in Athens to want to see it.)
youtube
One of my favorite commercials featuring him ever, back when he was (canonically) alive and well.
youtube
The commercial where he literally dies.
youtube
The commercial where he comes back to life as a little baby peanut.
And that concludes my post. The credits for the videos go to Planters and KraftHeinz, and the cover photo for this post goes to my imaginary friend, Mini Minoux. Do you love Mr. Peanut, too? And if you do, what do you love about him? And what about Baby Nut? Is he “yea” or “nay”? I'd be happy to hear your thoughts in the comments--though please, keep it reasonable and don't be too harsh. We're in the company of a gentleman. ;.3

So, I’ve been thinking about a different AU, and I’m just bouncing ideas here, so I’ll share a few things with you guys and hopefully you’ll be interested in it too? ~ Mod Goblin
Battle of the Bands AU: In this AU, Mettaton (or Napsaton, depending on the AU) is the new King of the Underground. Where’s Toriel and Asgore? Who knows?  -In Undertale or Underswap verse, there’s a ranking system. There’s monthly “battles” where the victor goes up a rank and the loser gets lowered. If your rank is lowered to 1, you basically get booted to a school to learn how to be a better band... With Mettaton/Napstaton teaching.  -In Fell universes, the stakes are way higher. If you’re a low enough rank, it’s either you fight your way to the top or die. There’s a chance to go to rank 0, in which you’re a walking deadman. Bands are able to fight at any time to raise their rank and high ranks have monthly battles.  Now, onto the various AUs.
Undertale:
Sans and Papyrus are a duo as of now and they’re still trying to to figure out what they want to do.
They keep failing ranks are they are stuck in the Mettaton classes. Sans sleeps through the lessons while Papyrus takes at least 3 notebooks to class.
Sans can sing, he just doesn’t want to. He could also play his trombone. But, again he just doesn’t want to.
Papyrus thinks they can get away with something like jazz, but try to motivate Sans is like trying to motivate a cat to be a dog.
Undyne and Alphys are also a duo that mixes rock with techno. They’re at rank 35, which is close to max rank.
Max rank is 40, which is reserved for Mettaton. 
Blooky and Shyren love doing collabs. Both of them are at rank 12.
Katty and Bratty are a singing duet, at rank 5.
Muffet is a much higher rank, at 32 and she uses her performances to advertise her bakery.
Underswap:
Similar to Undertale, Blue is trying to get Stretch to participate more.
They’re at least out of the classes, but they’re at rank 2. 
01 and 02 are their current rivals. They’re fun rivals at least.
Alphys and Undyne are a little lower, but still at a high rank of 33. Their style is definitely more like anime openings.
Napstaton hates having to lower someone’s rank. He really doesn’t want to be the bad guy, he just wants to boost everyone’s morale and be creative. He’s trying.
Mettaton (or Hapstablook in this case) and Shyren are an amazing duo at rank 24, but they often get caught up in the details and how their performances should look like.
Katty and Bratty are slightly better in this AU, but they’re at a low rank of 5.
Underfell:
Red and Edge somehow managed to get Undyne to join and they’re a rock band. 
Edge is the main guitarist, Undyne is on drums and Red is vocals. 
Red has stage fright, but he’d rather dust than admit that. When the band was first getting together, it was like pulling teeth to get them on stage.
Alphys is sort of like their manager, but she mostly does their special effects for their performances.
Their band is at a rank of 19. Just one more rank before they can consider themselves a high rank.
Mettaton also has a talk show where he interviews the bands right before a “battle.”
Honestly, he broadcasts everything like a reality TV show.
Edge is the one who writes the lyrics for their songs. 
SwapFell (purple):
I wouldn’t be surprised if a pole is involved with Ca$h’s performance, despite Wild’s desperate attempts to get rid of it.
Wild is really good at vocals, even if the songs are... A little out of his comfort zone. 
Ca$h is pretty good at writing lyrics, but also charges other monsters insane prices to see them perform.
It’s all a marketing tactic that raises their rank at 23, making them look more skilled than they actually are.
Alphys and Undyne aren’t exactly totally into music, but even with half-hearted attempts, they’re at rank 25. 
Napstaton is just bored of the Underground and what does one do when bored? Create problems on purpose.
Hapstablook is a pain in the ass to work with. He’s such a diva.
FellSwap (red):
Rus is definitely into more of a classic rock style. Black thinks this entire thing is stupid.
They actually work pretty close with Napstaton. They’re executioners for monsters who fall below rank 1. 
Alphys and Undyne mostly work directly for Napstaton, working on special effects for his performances.
Black is actually kind of good at rapping, but would rather be caught dead than let anyone find out. 
Napstaton is such a diva and if things don’t go his way he throws a huge fit. 
Hapstaton works on costumes for performances. They’re like fashionable armor for monsters~!
FellSwap Gold:
Wine is totally safe. Who the fuck wants to fight with a terrifying ex-general????
Wine only does performances when asked and he’s an amazing opera singer. 
The one who’s really in danger here is Coffee. He can’t perform even if he wanted to, so he’s being protected by Wine.
Coffee has a really sweet singing voice, but again, he can’t perform. It’s too overwhelming for him and he has terrible stage fright. 
Wine has tried to convince Naptaton to stop this whole ridiculous thing, but they’re too far in now. It’s a part of their culture now.
Alphys is currently in a group with Shyren and Hapstaton, but their group is just barely off the ground at rank 8. It’s mainly due to Hapstaton’s picky behavior for details and Shyren’s “bigger picture” mentality.
Undyne directly works for Napstaton as an “adviser” of sorts.

Thought I'd send in a separate ask for generic info about BikerFell 💖 And have a lovely day! (Also it still says your askbox is closed even though you said it was open... Did I misread something or miss you closing it again? ;~; )
Yeeaaaah that was a problem. Fixed now though
*deep breath* BIKER FELL!
You have no idea how much this speaks to me aesthetically
Okay, so like the name says, Sans and Papyrus……are bikers
This is essentially my post Underground headcanons for what they chose to do. The Underground is restrictive no matter what universe. But Fell universes especially so. Straying outside your territory generally put you at unnecessary risk of being attacked by monsters you didn’t know if you could beat. Papyrus could at most risk the occasional trip to see Undyne, and even then only constantly on guard. Sans, thanks to his teleporting, could go around a bit more but with the 1 HP thing it usually wasn’t worth the risk.
Once they hit topside…..they make it about 6 months before the restlessness sits in. There’s a big world out there, and for the first time their energy isn’t being focused entirely on staying alive. Sans stumbles across two old Harleys at the dump and restores them out of sheer boredom….only to have Papyrus take a shine to one. They start out with a few quick trips, just some overnight stuff….then start staying out longer and longer. At this point they roadtrip more than they stay home, so they finally sell the house and just live off the road
Sans Well, still the same skeleton, but a lot more relaxed. Oddly enough this lifestyle’s kind of good for him. He likes not being too setlled.  A different landscape  in front of his eyes every day? Nice change from years and years of looping. Cheap bars and sleazy motels are kind of his element. Could live with a decent mattress every now and then, but if the payoff is getting to trick out his bike then he’d say he can live with it. He gets in a few too many fights (especially when he’s had a few) but its taken a lot of anger out of him. He’s still an ass, but less inclined to immediately despise people.
Papyrus:On the surface this should be the kind of thing he despises. Way below his standards for living. Gross roadside hotels infested with who knows what? Greasy spoon diners stocked with hairy lowlifes? No matter how good he looks in leather, it can’t possibly be worth it…..and yet he enjoys it nearly as much as his brother. Out on the road his mind is allowed to wander and roam like it never could Underground. He can think about more than how to surive to the next day, than his reputation, than turf disputes and work, and rivalries…His head is freer than its ever been. For a while its boring and frustrating, but in the end it works likes meditating, calming him and relaxing him quite a bit. He’s still a control freak, still chews out the hotel manager over dirty bathroom mirrors and turns up his nasal cavity at some of the greasier fare. But he’s almost unrecognzable when compared to how he was Underground. This has also gone lengths towards repairing his relationship with Sans. You can only spend so many nights huddled around a campfire (sometimes you just can’t find a decent place to sleep)before a whole lot of emotional baggage is worked through. It can’t fix years of neglect and repressed anger, but it goes a long ways. He’s stopped insisting on being called “Boss” (although Sans still does out of habit) and has even been known to defer to his brother’s judgment once in a while.  
Frisk: They love Tori with all their heart but she’s still far too unstable for them to live with, at least for now. Asgore is a little more put together but still not really a good fit to be taking care of anyone. They spend a lot of time travelling with Sans and Papyrus, wearing a ridiculously oversized helmet Papyrus painted with flames. Sans insists they’re getting education enough on the road. At some point Undyne puts her foot down though and they reach a compromise. During the school year they live with Undyne and Alphys and go to school. During the summer they travel around with Sans and Papyrus. Paps does his best to keep them out of trouble but they’ve got a troubling penchant for making friends with ex-cons. Flowey is still inseparable from them (bitching constantly about swallowing bugs).
Undyne Mostly she enjoys staying with Alphys at their country home, just enjoying the peace and quiet. Every now and the, though, when the restlessness gets too bad or Alphys gets too absorbed in her work, she’ll join them for a brief trip. She doesn’t like being separated from her girlfriend for too long (and Alphys doesn’t like being away from her basement lab for too long), but the occasional jaunt can help detox her. She’s got a lot of stress in her still, and it’ll be a few decades before it’ll unknit itself. Probably the most responsible guardian Frisk has (in that she’s at least trying to be a parent, not just a friend).
Alphys: Honestly may not have noticed they werent Underground anymore, given how much time she spends in her Lab still
Alright, I kid, she’s a lot more stable. Without all the external pressure from Asgore she’s less…unbalanced. She’s allowed to pursue her passions and enjoy her interests without having to deal with an ill-tempered king or worry about attacks disrupting her. It relaxes her, ameks her a little more at ease around Undyne and Frisk, and even Sans (though Sans still isn’t that fond of her). She’s currently obsessed with the idea of bringing her favorite anime mechas to life.
Mettaton: Finally gets what he always wanted. A nice place alone, where he can work on his music and be free from the angry eyes of the outside world. Some day he may feel up to performing again. According to Frisk the Surface is a little less harsh to their stars. But for now he’s content to just repose in peace and quiet, maybe make eventual reparations with his cousin.
