hi. sorry not sorry for posting undertale crossover aus in 2024 but i cannot stop thinking abt this au (im putting 90% of it under the cut LOL)
anyw. malevolent undertale au. <3
(y'all are free to disagree with me abt any of these decisions, some of them were made purely because i thought they'd be funny . my ass is not taking this au seriously /silly)
uhhhhh anyw character equivalents + notes (note: most ppl are their undertale equivalents' species <3)
frisk: arthur - i feel this speaks for itself. protagonist 👍 - bandage equivalent is a necktie, stick equivalent is a broken gun (unlike the gun in hotland, his gun literally cant work at all LMAO the most he can do is pistol whip if he needs to) - he's still an adult btw bc . well . ⬇
chara: faroe - yeah <3 - older than how old we hc faroe to have been (~4), closer to ~8 - pacifist arthur is just trying to figure out what happened to her, genocide is trying to get revenge
flowey/asriel: john - flowey john is a sentient book that flips open, a plume of smoke puffing out and yellow eyes appearing - anyw thought he'd be fitting here for like . idk . it makes sense to me LOL - asriel john btw is also an adult (probably younger than arthur, but not by much LOL) - less of a brother figure to faroe and more of a. weird uncle/father-Ish figure?? idk GLJKSHFLJHSF
toriel: oscar - former clergyman turned advisor to the king <3 - fairly close to the king? at least closer than the king expected him to get (not romantic/sexual)
sans: noel - one of the "thought itd be funny"s but also kinda fitting <3
papyrus: butcher - DEFINITELY a "thought it'd be funny" (papyrus 🤝 butcher: die via head remova💥) - more fits his malevolent personality than papyrus's . by a long shot (but reading papyrus lines in the butcher's voice is fucking hilarious) - not related to noel. just 2 guys living together. for no reason. hope this helps <3 /silly
undyne: yellow - mostly thought itd be fitting 👍 also i can imagine him doing undyne's speech well - HATES being asked if he's related to the king (bc they sound uncannily similar) . /SILLY
alphys: larson - kinda thought itd be fitting mostly thought itd be funny - mew mew kissie cutie equivalent is literally just malevolent btw. (the characters have their undertale counterparts' names instead LOL). he found cds for it in the dump. he's alphys-level obsessed w/ it
mettaton: kayne - tell me he wouldnt. Tell me he wouldnt. /silly - imagine the cooking show . imagine oh my love . Imagine Mettaton Ex . - mtt equivalent keeps the hot pink knee-high heels bc i said so <3 - arthur, seeing mtt ex kayne: larson do you have anything you'd like to share with the class? (larson: )
asgore: the king in yellow - "king in yellow" is more formal, most ppl just call him hastur - pretty good king, but tends to seem cold and unaffectionate . very few people know - hired oscar to help get people's actual opinions on what sorts of things he should do bc. ppl were too nervous to go to him LOL - still a boss monster, but not goatlike! he's still a tentacle creature thing GLKJSHD <3 - created john via asexual reproduction <3 (he's aroace . to me :3)
i dont have anyone for blooky atm... i think marie as muffet would be silly tho GLKJSHFL :3
#original.stew#undertale au#malevolent#masked#im working on doodles for this . btw . i may never post them but this au is rotating in my brain .#the nature of an undertale fan who was rlly into aus#is that at a certain level of hyperfixing on other things you always return to making undertale aus . LMAO

Art is mine-
FIRST: Alternia or Beforus or some type of AU?
Alternia!!!
Name (preferably include how you came up with it and why): Kazmal Nepila
I think Kazmal can stay because it sounds like a change from “Kamal,” a name which means “perfection/excellence” in Arabic and “lotus/pale red” in Sanskrit. I think it’s fitting both because tailoring means fitting something with precision and because you’ve written a character who is defined to an extent by his pale red relationship - his moirallegiance.
For the last name, how about Halgus for hallux valgus, another name for bunion, which is a sneaky reference to a tailor’s bunion which was commonly developed from tailors sitting crosslegged while they worked and developing joint deformity in their pinky toes. Also fitting because he is in a situation in which the nature of his work for his moirail is causing him strain and deformity in his self.
Please help with my name- I like it but like i just randomly picked letters and stuck them together
Age: 7 sweeps
Strife Specibus: hornkind
He uses his horns to ram his victims (they jut out front and point. They kinda act like blinders on a horse but they are very sharp and pointy)
I like it as a concept but I feel like if we wanna tailor (heh) his bio a little more closely we could go with needlekind? And if we wanna play into him being a purpleblood he could have a chucklevoodoo doll that he uses as a pincushion and could weaponize against those his moirail tells him to kill.
Fetch Modus: no clue really
Let’s go with a seamripper modus; captcha would be ‘sewn in�� and he would need to rip the seams to get it out; if he makes a mistake he could damage the item itself.
Blood color: Purple!
Symbol and meaning: Capririus
Sign of the contender (Derse + Hope) (if you can help with the sign that would be great too)
I don’t know that he seems like a Dersite or a Hope player. As a blind follower who would rather reshape himself than reshape the world around him he’s a definite Prospitan. For his aspect, I think we could reasonably swing Space, especially since sewing and the like is so intimately associated with physical manipulation in Homestuck.
Trolltag: none yet tbh
If we wanna go GCAT maybe greatCouturier? I assume a lot of his work is for fellow purplebloods since Alternian trolls generally think fashion is stupid and purplebloods are like…the only caste that wears patterned fabric? This trolltag would indicate his status in society but also seem insufferably frou-frou to most other trolls, making him a likely target for harassment.
Quirk: he doesnt use any capitalization. even when mad. he has committed to having almost a monotone kind of tone to his typing.
Special Abilities (if any): does tailoring count?
I think I wanna add the chucklevoodoo doll to his abilities given that purplebloods gain abilities from being in the juggalo cult.
Lusus: :00 a bull head on a rhino’s body, actually
In general, purplebloods live near the sea and have lusii that can presumably exist in some form both in and out of the water. I like the big grey thick-hided aesthetic, so how about a manatee with a rhino head? You could also have him wrap thread around his dad’s horns either for sewing assistance or as a way of showing his dad he loves him. You could still keep the theme of isolation this way, too; purplebloods’ lusii are more likely to be out at sea. They can’t pursue their parents since they’d be encroaching on seadweller territory, and they have no way of knowing if their lusus has been culled to feed Gl’bgolyb.
Personality: he is a blind follower. Hes manipulated by his moirail to murder other trolls, trolls in castes lower than him that she couldnt get away with so she can cook them. She acts like she cares but then will shut him out. But he clings to the relationship because he feels like thats all he has. He has hope that this will all turn out good for him and her. He keeps a stoic expression and thus paints on a face to make it seem like he is smiling. But he isnt really. He seems void of all emotion but in reality hes just really good at hiding them. He likes to make things for his moirail to show his compassion (even though she never wears or uses said things and sometimes throws them away right in front of him)
I think this has a lot of potential! First off I’m very intrigued by this cannibalistic moirail of his, but second off, I want you to expand on his relationship with her! As a reminder, a moirallegiance is not necessarily akin to being a best friend; it’s a partnership with the very specific purpose of each troll balancing an imbalance in the other. Now, this doesn’t mean that every moirallegiance is healthy; while we saw Nepeta and Equius as the platonic ideal of one, we saw plenty of examples of kismesissitudes and matespritships that devolved into something sinister. This can be a really good example of that if you answer the following questions: what does Kazmal think he’s getting out of this? What is it about this relationship that makes it an unhealthy moirallegiance rather than merely an unhealthy friendship? What imbalance does he think his moirail corrects in him, and what does he feel he gives to his moirail?
As an example, how does Kazmal feel when his moirail throws away the things he makes? Does he view that as a critique of his work? As encouragement to work towards getting better? How does he view her requests to murder other trolls? What does he think he’s giving her? Does he feel he’s protecting her from something? What is the imbalance he thinks is being corrected, and how does he envision the “perfect” version of this moirallegiance? Answering these questions will tell you a lot more about Kazmal’s relationship.
Interests: tailoring :0 this man loves making clothes!!! Even if he isnt so good at it he still loves doing it. He made his own!! He is currently working on his ultimate clown suit for when he has to inevitably fully commit to this clown juggalo cult aesthetic thing. He also likes to ram his horns into things like trees or punching bags with his lusus for fun.
Title: seer of hope (idk what i m doing help)
Man given Homestuck’s history of Pages as gentlemen who try very hard and get pushed around by the people they care about, I think this dude is for sure a Page of Space, which would eventually make him incredibly powerful. It especially fits with his being a not-yet-great tailor whose moirail throws his stuff away. Also, because the Robin Hood outfit would be funny to stick a tailor in.
Land: idk rlly
Land of Rips and Frogs (LORAF). I like the idea that he’d have a planet that was extremely broken and full of ravines, and that his job as a Page of Space would be to mend these enormous rifts in order to advance to Echidna (and would make frog hunting harder, though not impossible).
Dream Planet: Prospit
Aha, so here you say he’s Prospit. Good. We’re in agreement here! Which makes his sign Caprigo, Sign of the Lacuna! WHICH MEANS A GAP IN A MANUSCRIPT OR A BONE. This dude’s themes are LOCKED THE FUCK IN with gaps and gaps and gaps.
Horns - I usually try to sprite horns from scratch but naphal’s sprite sheet had a set that just worked so incredibly well with his symbol and the whimsicality of purple horns??? Edited them very slightly but it’s mostly presented as is. If you want a set from scratch just lmk and I’ll work on it.
Face Paint - I gave him Flowey’s smile from Undertale! Firstly because it’s the smile he gives us when he first says “it’s kill or be killed,” a philosophy Kazmal is no doubt subjected to by his moirail, and secondly because Flowey is himself a character who represents being trapped in unhealthy cycles.
Eyes - once again edited from Naphal’s sprite sheet.
Mouth - purplebloods tend to be toothy, so I gave him very narrow and needle-like teeth.
Clothes - aside from some plain black pajama pants, this is all naphal. I deliberately wanted to avoid the neutral colors we usually see in Alternian outfits. I surmised from your design that Kazmal’s moirail is a goldblood, though if that was incorrect I’m happy to fix it up. I wanted his color scheme infected by his moirail’s as if by a virus, culminating in the apron, which is so subsumed by his moirail’s color that his symbol looks quite lost in it! I also wanted some clashing patterns both to represent his struggle and to show that he’s still a fledgeling designer. The vine-y pattern on his apron is courtesy of mirz123 on deviantart.
Shoes - these are some comfy slippers from fan-troll, which I have elected to keep as his blood color to…I dunno, inspire some hope? Despite all the bullshit he’s going through, he’s still fundamentally grounded in his own sense of identity.
So that’s my review of Kazmal! Thank you for sharing him!
