You’re fine!!! Honestly I also don’t always remember everything I’ve said, it’s How Things Be sometimes- You’ll find no annoyance at repetitions or contradictions here! We’re having fun, not engaging in a life-or-death situation.

Anyways, yeah! I get that, and I do agree that he tends to end up just. WILDLY on one side or the other (my poor man just can’t exist as a chaotic neutral entity to some people, huh-), when in reality he’s firmly a neutral force who’s Seen Some Shit. Honestly, my only qualm with him being chaotic neutral is that some people make him a malicious chaotic neutral and he’s like. Very much not, you know? I dunno, his characterization is fascinating to me and I wish! That more people! Leaned into his actual character instead of making him something he isn’t!!! But ramblings aside, yeah, he’s very much a desensitized guy who wouldn’t be nearly as good at his job if he was as wholly good as people seem to think he should be.

(I could go on about this man forever but I’ll stop now-)

Oh no I definitely agree! He’s got major abandonment issues with anyone he cares about- The creators might be a more primal kind of fear (since without them, he’s just. A husk.), but it would definitely apply to his loved ones, too. People like his Dadsters, Cross, Dream and Blue, probably Error in a weird “rival who has existed for as long as I have” way… There’s definitely potential there for Dream and Blue to use it against him, the poor guy. And while I don’t see them intentionally making him blame himself (they want him to be happy! To be free!), them saying that they did this for him, because they care for him and what to “help him” would… Definitely fuck him up, I think. I could see him blaming himself for it all- For not catching them going down a slippery slope, yes, and for not being proactive enough, and for “causing” this, but I could also see him eventually coming to the conclusion that this happened because he, specifically, was their friend. If he’d just stayed distant, if he’d never interacted and formed friendships, if he hadn’t interfered, maybe this would’ve been avoided? Just. A total belief that he, specifically, ruined things.

Core angst!!! My poor child is suffering All The Time and the entire Multiverse just expects them to be Wise and Good, it’s so much pressure for a fucking- What, ten year old? They need to have a breakdown at some point, I think- Not just over this, but over all of the accumulated stress of every bad things they’ve witnessed (and, let’s be real, they deserve to have a breakdown and get out their emotions-). Dream and Blue writing them off might end badly for the two of them, though… Core is a highly stressed child, yes, but they’re a highly stressed child with omniscience and omnipresence, and I imagine that existing for so long has led them to be Very Attached (whether they show it or not) to other, equally eternal beings. They’re still a Frisk, after all- They’ve still got their own brand of Determination, and that willpower to help people- And eventually, I think they might be one of the biggest threats to the yanderes.

Cross (and XChara) are wildly versatile here, but I do love me some Oreo Bros, so I’ve got no issue with that route, haha. XChara is definitely a very bitter person in general (which, like, fair, they’ve gone through some shit), but even if they don’t particularly like Ink, I could see them being somewhat sympathetic (and probably very angry) on his behalf- If only because Dream and Blue’s desire for “the best” for Ink would probably hit. A Lot of sore spots in the way XGaster acted. They aren’t fond of Ink at all, really, but that doesn’t mean he deserves what’s happening to him.

Cross, meanwhile, has a lot of potential for some Realizations here, and, I think, the chance to rebuild his bond with Ink (artist buddies!). Ink has, by and large, done his best to help him, after all- Even spent lots of time with him, in his empty AU, despite his terror of blank white spaces. He didn’t leave Cross to rot, but he very much could have, and even when Cross was endangering the Multiverse, Ink still tried to have faith in him. That, combined with how much the situation probably reminds him of his own, could definitely prompt him to reach out and reconnect- And apologize, I think. Ink is probably in too much shock and emotional turmoil to respond, like you said, but it’s the thought that counts… Now that I think about it, do you think Cross would take up the mantle of “protecting” Ink (in a much healthier way) as a way to sort of atone for his part in all of this? Hell, maybe it becomes a sort of thing where he almost becomes a “co-Protector” with Ink, towards the end of all of this- He’s got a knack for codes, if I recall correctly, and Ink could do with some healthier help.

(This AU is giving a lot of potential for the Oreo Bros, I love them dearly-)

Oh, it’d definitely take more than one person to pull Ink out of the emotional spiral that’d form after all of that- Cross, Core, Error if he’s a good guy here, maybe even Fresh? And possibly a few others. Poor man’s gonna need a support system after all of this, to be honest.

Error, in my mind, is always very possessive of (A) his role as the Destroyer, and (B) his position as Ink’s rival and primary enemy. In a version where he’s at least semi-good, I definitely see that coming out in full swing- He’s Very Offended that other people managed to not only do so much damage, but that they did part of His Job. And, to make things worse, they fucked with His Rival. Glitchy has some potential here, I think.

Oooh, those two would definitely be tempted by Overwrite, if they got a hold of it- And since Ink has never exactly tried to stop the creators from being awful to him, I could easily see them rationalizing not asking for his input when using it. He doesn’t know what’s best for himself! He needs them to help him, to make sure he’s taken care of and happy and safe- He’ll thank them for this later, they’re sure… Or at least, that’s how I think they’re thoughts would go.

Oh boy, time to see how much I remember from the last time. I've been a bit busy with schoolwork and some other things, but I have a bit of time right now to get to my inbox. I'm actually taking a small break from my environmental notes to be on Tumblr.

I'm a bit guilty of making Ink lean one way or the other myself, but I swear I don't do it on purpose lol. I absolutely love reading it, though! I just can't seem to get it right myself. I think it's because I'm so sick of the blatant mischaracterization in how people make him solely malicious that I just like. Can't make him stray from good myself?? I dunno, could just be a bit of a personal bias. Maybe a bit of a niche thing. I also haven't tried to write him in more neutral scenarios very often, he's always kinda stuck with the other two Stars. Maybe I should try experimenting with that sometime. I think part of his desensitized attitude would be the fact that he... doesn't really have anyone to confide in? Like, a running thing between me and one of my friends is that Ink is in dire need of therapy but doesn't think he needs it because this whole time, he's been compartmentalizing what he's seen/experienced and has had to keep it to himself.

I once read a fanfic on AO3, forget what it's called, that used that idea! Ink being "forgotten" by Error, but Error was just pretending to see how he'd react. He didn't take it well lol. And you're right, Dream and Blue wouldn't intentionally make Ink believe that it's his fault, but it would end up just pushing him to that perspective. Another thing to consider could be Ink wondering if he ever said or did anything that made it seem like he was unhappy about being soulless. I think blaming himself would be the only way he'd be able to process it: he's not a yandere himself and he doesn't have the greatest understanding of emotions, let alone thought processes and other people's perspectives. He wouldn't be able to rationalize their thought processes and obsessions otherwise.

I thiiiiiink CORE is around 10? They're either 10 years old or younger, and that doesn't make it any better. And you know what I think? I think they've more than gone past their breaking point. I do think that the two underestimating CORE and writing them off would come back to bite them, and rightfully so. I think the fact that they're still a kid makes people instinctively underestimate them, and if Dream and Blue are especially confident in themselves for this, then they're more likely to underestimate their influence. I'm very fond of the idea that CORE is a key character in foiling their plot.

I absolutely love the idea of Cross being a healthier protector for Ink, if only for the time being. He doesn't view it in the same way Dream and Blue (probably) did, in which he HAS to protect Ink, but in a companion sort of way. I can see Cross proposing the idea of being an official co-protector, but I think it could be left ambiguous as to whether or not it actually happens. After all, Ink's co-protectors did kind of just betray him and threw the Multiverse into chaos, so he's not doing too well in the co-protector department. This man's getting screwed over left and right. Damn.

I- I'm sorry, I just- I love the image of CORE and Cross being the primary supports, while Error and Fresh are in the back. Error doesn't know how to comfort people to save his life (me too babygirl dw) and he's mostly being disturbed by Fresh, who doesn't really care about Ink... but he's still a valuable ally (or asset, if you will), so he'll do his part.

If you wanna go with an Error who is more in-line with how he acts in Underverse, then he's probably gonna throw a temper tantrum over someone else being such a thorn in Ink's side. HE'S supposed to be Ink's greatest rival! HE'S supposed to make Ink hurt! NOT! THESE! ANOMALIES! THEY'RE TAKING INK'S ATTENTION AWAY FROM HIM AND- *screaming turns into glitched screeching as the impersonation gets out of hand*

Okay, now with that being said, here's some angst fuel: hypothetically speaking, let's say Dream and Blue do use the OVERWRITE. What then? Since they're most likely using it on a whim and, despite seeing X-Gaster use it, haven't had any experience themselves... how might it go wrong?

A commission forRage-o-Rama on deviantArt who wanted the cast of Undertale reflected with the Elements of Harmony from MLP. I think they described the thoughts behind this piece better than I could;

Toriel represents the element of kindness (this could and should be obvious) because she wants to show mercy and love to everyone; even though she never forgave Asgore for what he did, she did say that he deserves mercy and that fighting him would have put the player in an impossible dilemma of fighting for freedom or staying to suffer. She especially wants to show mercy to the human children that fall to the underground because she never lost her motherly instincts even after she lost two children so suddenly. As for Sans, I'm not exactly sure what he should represent to be honest, but the closest thing I could come up with is that he represents the element of magic. Because the element of magic is mysterious in and of itself, much like Sans. Also, here's another interpretation I have: the element of magic represents the element of togetherness, justice, virtue, and patience, which are qualities that Sans oddly has despite his blase laziness. Papyrus obviously is the element of laughter because his greatest desire is to spread joy to others and befriend everyone, even if it means costing his dream to be a royal guard when he befriends Frisk in a neutral or True Pacifist route. Despite his brash and arrogant demeanor, he is unrelentingly optimistic against all odds and very cheerful overall. This isn't to say he's happy all the time (no one is), but that's just his general personality. Undyne would be the element of honesty because of her staunch belief in doing the right thing, even (and especially) when it's difficult. She also never wavers from telling people the cold hard facts, even when it's told very bluntly. She's definitely rude about most of it, but at her core she truly believes in the dignity and truth of everything she does. Alphys is pretty hard to pick because her character is more morally gray than most of the other characters, but the closest one I could come up with is the element of generosity. She doesn't hesitate to give you advice, any gadget you could want, and even on your "date" she was willing to have a pretend date to make you feel better. She is also willing to give up her reputation (in the True Pacifist route) to finally confess to her failed experiments when she realizes her friends have her back, and when she does she sends all the amalgamates home to their families. Asgore is the element of loyalty because he wants to help his people and give them hope, no matter what it would cost him personally. Even though his plan was the result of all-consuming grief after the sudden and unexpected loss of his two children, he was willing to commit to it because he wants to give his subjects something to look forward to. He took responsibility for his subjects and never left the throne (which Toriel did out of anger at Asgore's plan), and he never gave up hope for his subjects even though it filled him with unimaginable guilt. I had a lot of fun with this commission even though it had some ups and downs, and I'm really really happy how everyone turned out in this piece! I;m especially proud of how I'm getting better with different body shapes and not just drawing a default human body for characters! thank you so much for commissioning me!

Alright, here's my 2 Undertale self inserts!

Abby and Mono!

I'll ramble about them both under the cut because I talk too much lol (warning, VERY LONG! Be warned)

Abby

Abby is actually one of Blooky's cousins, like Metta or the 2 other dummy ghosts (she doesn't have a ghost name, but I've been jokingly calling her hatstablook). She loves and adores her ghostly family, and would do anything for them. She also knew how badly Metta wanted a body, but how nothing was what he wanted. One day, Abby happened to meet Alphys, and she was drawing some body designs for a new robot. They talked a bit, and Abby said that she'd be happy to help and be a test subject, as that way her cousin could have a better chance at at getting the body he really wanted. She didn't tell her family however, about this, and just said she was going to go on a vacation and be back soon.

Alphys made the body look similar to a goat because she thought Asgore would find that cooler, and he'd therefore think Alphys is cool. However, due to Abby's emotions (and well, making a robot body for the first time ever), everything kept malfunctioning, mostly the arms, as they'd keep getting longer and would get tangled in things. One day, Abby accidentally came across Alphys' log book, where she vented some extreme feelings she was having about the project, feeling that it was "going nowhere." Of course she didn't mean it, but Abby didn't know, so she left and now spends their time in Waterfall or at Metta's hotel. She dares to not stay around Metta or Blooky too long, afraid they'd find out it's really her. She feels like she failed a lot of people, and doesn't deserve their love and care.

She's also a big fan of Papyrus, as she's envious of his confidence. She's way to nervous to talk to him normally, but is later convinced by Sans and Frisk to hang out with him. They start dating after a couple months :3

Mono (named after Monospace font)

Mono was a heavily respected scientist, as she opened up the door to monster magic. She taught herself, a skeleton, fire magic and healing magic. Then, she managed to combine the two, creating green fire magic that'd heal who the user would want to heal, and hurt everyone else. Asgore was heavily impressed, and had her join the scientist team. She was so proud of herself that she made herself that she gave herself fire "hair." She was mostly an assistant to Dr Gaster, another skeleton. She noticed his...odd English. He tended to talk L I K E T H I S, so it became clear to her that it wasn't his first language, and she quickly found out that it was Wing Dings. She studied and learned the language just to make Gaster more comfortable, which he greatly appreciated and they quickly got closer and closer.

She helped a little bit with the making of the core, but it was mostly all Gaster's work, which he wanted. One day, they were hanging around it, just chatting and making conversation, though it was the day Gaster wanted to confess his feelings. However, he managed to fall backwards and fell into the core. Mono grabbed into his arm, trying to help him up, but he weighed her down and she fell in with him. It took them both awhile to find each other in the void, but soon they were together, together for eternity. They love each other though so they're kinda happy :)

A refresh of my ships/shipping policies and triggers here, in light of recent events and for anyone new who might not know me or my stuff.

✔It is okay to quietly unfollow and ask politely not to interact if you disagree.

❌It is not okay to send me hate mail because I don't ship what you ship. It is not okay to bully anyone for what they ship.

✔I ship xReader, most papcest and don't mind sanscest

❌I do not like fontcest ships (brother to brother from same AU) due to the non-con implications of sibling/incest relationships. Following and interacting is fine for fontcest shippers but I'd rather not see it in my inbox. I do not want to talk about any human incest ships at all.

✔"Aged up" Frans and such feel more like OCs/reader inserts to me (probably because they generally look like me). As long as your Frisk/Chara are clearly adults (and there is no grooming rhetoric in their story) it's fine, but I will never make this content myself.

❌Non con/rape and grooming/pedophilia is a big hard no for me. Do not recommend me any fics with this as the main theme. Do not interact with me with anything that glorifies/romanticizes non-con/abuse/grooming behaviors.

✔Yanderes are a gray area, for the most part follow the rest of what is here for yanderes, pls DM me if you are unsure about your yandere content

✔Past abuse & healing from trauma/abuse/non con/grooming (where it is nonexplicit in what happened and also obviously condemns the abuse) is fine, hurt/comfort and healing fics with a healthy relationship (not with the same abuser!!) at its core is good stuff

❌Do not follow or interact with anti-lgbt or transphobic rhetoric! Do not follow or interact if you are anti-asexual or anti-aromantic! Do not follow or interact with racist bullshit, including but not limited to antisemitism, supporting Trump and his racist policies, supporting nazis, or anti-native rhetoric. If you are racist get the fuck off my blog.

❌Obviously don't interact if you plan on tearing me or my mutuals down for what we ship. Unfollow if you don't want to see or blacklist the tags "papcest" "sanscest" "Frans" bc I will be diligent about tagging from here on out.

✔Please ask me if you want me to start tagging something! I would absolutely tag it to keep you comfortable!

It is important that we as a Fandom remember and recognize that these are fictional characters, and that the people who ship them are people too and deserve respect. I generally find that most "do not interact" posts are intolerant or ignorant of these facts, and while I will respect them best I can, I will not respect anyone who harasses me or my friends for our ships.

Everyone has the absolute right to be unharassed for their triggers and ships.

If you have questions or find any of this wording or anything confusing, please feel free to DM me so we can discuss. I love my mutuals so please don't be afraid to talk to me if you are unsure about something, I'd rather talk it out like adults than lose a friend without knowing.

#dni #do not interact #i guess it's time for one of these

Soul Type

"Collective Soul"

// - A Collective Soul shows trades of all known Soul Types and is shielded by a thin membrane of Void. It looks like a blank Soul with a black outline, that has a small pitch dot in its center from which a vibration rolls across the surface of the Soul. Those waves appear in different colors and strokes. To those who are very sensible to Soul Energy, the vibration will sound like an endless army of different voices breathing simultaneously in sync. The rhythm changes wit Karma's state of mind. It has an aroma/flavour that could be described as "a bittersweet taste of Salt and Iron". The feeling it would induces is more reminiscent of Guilt and Foreboding. Like standing before a King with an Executioner looming right behind you. - //

[REDACTED] //Next to it often flashes the following message: "I can see ALL your SINS..."//

[REDACTED] // Their HP is so high that even a Critical from the LvL 19 Human affects it as if they would jut do 1 HP damage //

[REDACTED] //Next to it often flashes the following message: "I make the RULES."//

DEFENSE

[REDACTED] //Next to it often flashes the following message: "Your DEPT will be PAID"//

Doorman-Tier:

Tier S - Class S

History:

Karma Doorman is the original "Blueprint" of their kind within the Undertale Universe. Their Soul was a blank, purified Vessel with trades of both Human and Monster Soul. Within it, their creator stored the power of every willing being of the Old Dark's Court, forging a Soul of immense potential. Made from pieces of countless Entities and the Life-Blood of their Creator, this Doorman was chained to the purpose of "SAVING THEM", but left with a free will to decide on how to accomplish that Goal.

Karma's first appearance within the Undertale Multiverse was due to the waking call of UT Sans's Will to struggle against the Genocide Route's Outcome, which gave their existence a physical Form. Before that, they were just a spiritual presence and afterthought, mostly. A Dread looming above the Sinners, Cheaters and Fools of the World.

[!!!SPOILERS WARNING!!! - for those who wish to Read the FanFiction or wait till I get around to making the Comic, since the LITERATURE SUBMIT on DA doesn't allow much creative Freedom, so I have to do a lot of Re-Spacing and Editing on those Parts. This Section will spoil some of the Plot in exchange for Character Build - If you don't want that spoiled, please proceed to the APPEARANCE Section - !!!SPOILER WARNING!!!]

Karma's awakening shook the original Universe of Undertale at its Core, as they proceeded to exterminate the Genocide Timeline by removing the [ERASE] and [RESET]option from the Human Child and blocking the [QUIT] option. Their DETERMINATION exceeded any existent being in this Original Timeline.

After ridding themselves of Chara, Flowey and purifying Frisk's Soul, they continued [REWRITING]the Timeline, forcing Toriel to stay with Asgore and bringing comfort to his broken heart. They dragged Gaster and his Lab Assistants back from the Void and made Sans forget about the RESETS, weakening themself severely in the process.

Karma intervened in many upcoming Events, including saving the original six children, choosing to live with them in the RUINS, due to the absence of Toriel, and kept them save there. They properly locked the Gate towards Snowdin and became Sans's Knock-Knock Pal, as he recovered his strength, while waiting for time to unfold on its own. They dragged a Criminal into the Underground, who would serve as a trigger for Undyne's role in the future as head of the Royal Guards, as well as providing Gaster with a Soul for his research. When Gaster's experiment was about to end in failure, they leaped in and saved the staff, but Sans got struck and began remembering everything again, including his first encounter with Karma.

The Doorman left him that way, on behalf of his own wishes, closing the Rift towards the Void, straining their Soul towards its limits. When Frisk arrived, they were the one waiting for them, accompanied by the other six children. Together, they left the RUINS and began their journey through the Underground in order to reach the True Ending and the last option that would hinder their Safeguard over the Timeline. [TRUE RESET]

Appearance:

Karma Doorman looks like a tall, thin elf, clad in black robes and armor. Their cloak, which always rests on their shoulders, splits into multiple tendrils, which can move freely as separate limbs from the rest of their body. These tentacle-like arms are connected to his back, sprouting straight from a fissure across his spine. Their hair is charcoal black and slightly grayish in color, long flowing and smooth as silk. The eyes are red and always surrounded by a reddish blush, which runs along their pale cheeks.

When his expression and demeanor change, the eye-white turns blackish and their thin lips stretch into a wide, haunting grin. Often accompanied by streams of rusty, reddish liquid welling from underneath the eyes. This happens mostly in situations that call for them to use lots of Energy and Magic. It is due to the affects his tremendously powerful Soul has on their vessel body. The reddish liquid is not blood, but liquid-form Determinationseeping through their entire body. When reaching their limits, Karma often ends up with ripped skin or deep gashing wounds all over, which they have to let heal on their own.

Personality:

Karma was created by the remaining Will and Hope of Sans from across all RESETS, which shaped part of their personality. They are very intelligent and resourceful, with a developing love for puns and witty commentary. Karma sees his job as part of a Game, partially, but takes every step they make with utmost seriousness. They often hide the seriousness of their intentions to seem as less of a threat than they actually are, which paint them often in the lights of a sadistic psycho, rather than a helpful ally.

Karma is very kind, when not chasing after Sinners and Cheaters. As a manifestation of Consequences, their actions are justified in the eye of fate, however the Doorman has their doubts about it, acting to the best of their conscious, trying to find the best way to deal with every situation.

They are a selfless Soul, ready to give everything and more in order to see their goal achieved, which is the happiness of all deserving of it.

The Entity judges all on a fair standpoint, giving anyone the benefit of the doubt if it is present within their actions. Which is why they sowed pity and understanding towards Sans more than to Flowey, Frisk and Chara.

Karma is a follower of the principle of "Mutual Consent". They never force their way, feelings or the likes upon others (unless they need to judge that person for being a dirty Sinner, Cheater or the likes). Knowing that everything in life comes with consequences, they rather stay on a neutral ground till they’re sure of the others intentions.

Likes:

Puns and Humor (by that extend Sans)

Cooking

Baking

helping people

singing - ( he loves humming this Song here)

Children

hunting Sinners and Cheaters

napping

Dislikes:

Sinners and Cheater of all kinds

Mettaton (to some extend, since he finds the Robot quite obnoxious)

too spicy food

Capitalism (they've been trying to kill it off for since they've gained consciousness)

Gender- and Race Labeling (which is why they refer to themself as a "they" and won't accept anyone miss-gender them whatsoever)

Capabilities:

Due to their DETERMINATION, Karma is capable of blocking Tricksters, Sinners and Cheaters from abusing Fortune or, in the case of the Fallen Children and Flowey, the power of RESET. They can exterminate these Options and force their prey to face Consequences, without a backdoor to escape out off. The Entity can also alter the flow of time and space to previous states and interact with Checkpoints (which they mostly destroy instantly). They can reanimate people, by simply restoring their last intact living position. While restoring entire Landscapes and areas, they have to focus their manipulative power into a comfortable shape, which mostly appears as a Ring following near the ground, walls and ceiling behind them.

When they first appeared in the Universe of Undertale, Karma was only visible to a selective few. Mostly those aware of the RESETS. While traveling backwards through the Underground with Sans, they created Rifts within the fabric of the World to quickly advance. Similar in Sans's use of shortcuts only on a basic sense, as these Rifts interconnect on a completely different plain of thought. Like a Road along the weave of Space-Time itself.

Their strength comes not only from their Soul, however. Karma’s power forms from the Will of Justice and Vengeance lingering within the World they inhabit. Since their body was formed by Sans’s recollected strife to stop the fallen child from their murderous rampage, their power connected to it. As such, his memory became vital to their strength, but to ensure their goal was fully achieved, Karma decided to REWRITE him, even at the cost of a fair extend of their own power.

Karma's attack abilities range from direct hands-on Battle to them using their tendrils as extended limbs for range combat. They can use various magics, too.

Since their DETERMINATION is so high, Karma is capable of changing the RULES of Combat. They do so to 'playfully' dispose of their targets.

In such occasions, they like to play "JUDGMENT HELL", a game where he provides their foes with the means to battle them properly. Giving them armor, weapons and item to use. They also stag a persons SIN to their STATS, exceeding the limitations of the Universe’s limitations. Within the game they play the PROSECUTOR, who protects a JUDGE from the ACCUSED. While the ACCUSED try to kill or persuade the JUDGE it is the PROSECUTOR's job to keep the JUDGE save and eliminate the ACCUSED. When an ACCUSED perishes, they will be respawned with a penalty to their STATS. When the HP reaches 1, the next strike will indefinitely kill the ACCUSED. They will be erased with the severity of their sins burning their bodies and souls out of current existence. The PROSECUTOR can't act on their own, besides shielding the JUDGE. The JUDGE has full reign over their actions and decides if a person is worth of MERCY or not.

The Doorman is capable of all Magic Abilities. During Combat, Karma uses mostly White, Black and Red Attacks, although they like changing their Style up on the fly sometimes. Fighting them is quite the bad idea, due to them not acting upon the RULE of attacks having to always be in the same repeating patterns. Each of Karma's attacks is acting like a Critical Strike or Instant Kill Move, which makes the experience that much more frustrating. They also can slay foes straight outside of an open FIGHT.

For more casual activities, Karma uses their power of levitation for transport or just simply sitting in a floating position. They multi-task via their tendrils a lot, often preferring them over their own arms and hands. They can use healing magic to quickly close wounds, set bones or just giving a soothing warmth to distressed people. They usually, however, don't use that much magic overall. Only if it is absolutely required or helpful in aiding their goal or people in need.

Karma possesses the special ability of "REWRITE", which allows him to change any aspect of a Location, Item. Person or Rule. With this ability, they can change the flow of the world to befit their purpose. A REWRITE can only be undone by them or an outer-worldly Impact of similar Determination Power, which is rare.

Due to their massive STATS, which broke the readable Range of the World by a margin, attempting to destroy them via Battle is basically pointless. Bargaining with them will be seen as an insult, which often results in harsher punishment, while accepting ones fate is probably the smartest option.

Karma's destructive power can be placed easily above the power of most living beings in the Undertale Multiverse, however, he would struggle against other Doormen of their own respective Tier.

Relations:

Karma, throughout their journey will befriend many Monsters.

Sans will become their first friend among many, as they take the Role of Toriel after the REWRITE. Papyrus they meet briefly in his early childhood, but won't become a friend to the till later. They will bond with Undyne over a match of strength and perseverance.

The human children, as they fall one by one into the Underground, will end up being raised by them. They refer to them as their Guardian or Big G. for short. Karma collects them and ensures their safety while staying in the RUINS, up until Frisk appears. The children take a shine to them, as they cared for them, teaching them to accept monsters as part of their lives.

POTENTIAL SPOILER:

Similar to Sans growing an affection towards Toriel during the outplay of the Original Timeline, in the REWRITE he grows quite fond of them as they do of him.

In the Canon of the series, the two agree on a relationship based on both of their loss at what to do or expect from the newfound freedom they fought for. The human children encourage their romantic interest in one another, much to Karma's displeasure, as they are completely estranged to the whole romance business. Going even so far as to stopping Frisk multiple times, during their adventure, from flirting with every Monster they encounter.

Trivia:

Karma has no recollection of anything prior to their awakening to sentience. For all they've known, they were always a part of Undertale.

However, Sans and Papyrus both commented on "having seen their eyes somewhere before" and that this was not something good they've remembered.

It spun a bit of curiosity around their mind, which always leaves a bad aftertaste behind.

I just remembered an Undertale timeline I made a long time ago and tried drawing a “cover” for it. I’ll talk a little about the story in case anyone’s interested at the end.

I’ll talk a little about the story after the read more in case anyone’s interested, I’ll try my best to not go too far into it. Also nobody use this timeline please? Its personal and I’d prefer it stays mine and isn’t drawn or added onto by anyone. Thank you.💗

In this timeline Frisk wanted to create the perfect pacifist timeline, and she believed that saving absolutely everyone was the answer. Whether they were dead, alive or missing didn’t matter, saving them all would create the happiest world for everyone. The determination she had to pull this off was so strong, that she could live with half her soul, and 1/10th of her determination without issue. Now about the souls..

First I will say that Frisk wanted to save the six other human children, but there wasn’t enough of her soul to go around. If she did have enough soul to share however, that would mean the barrier couldn’t have been broken because it required the other six souls to break to begin with.

Anyway, now the people she actually saved. She found Gaster’s room and gave him some of her determination, it acted as a glue that kept Gaster’s broken soul together, so she didn’t loose any of her actual soul saving him. With a fixed soul, Gaster could then leave the void and re-enter time without falling apart.

At the end of the pacifist she gave Asriel the outer ring(?) of her soul which is why his soul has a red outline but the center is white, (he’s a monster so there’s the white part.)

Then for Chara, she gave her a big chunk right out of the center because Chara is human and naturally requires more. And she gave Chara a part of her core, where hypothetically all her feelings are found. Chara looks sad in the picture you might’ve noticed. Well, She’s feeling Frisks feelings, her love, her empathy, her guilt, her sadness and regret. The power to feel these things is now Chara’s power too. And she feels horrible. She feels soul crushing remorse for what she’s done. She’s changed. Her Character is changed.

(the next part basically becomes a mini fic but its more detail if you’re interested. It also talks about other details that aren’t super important to the main starting structure of the timeline.)

In this timeline Papyrus has the same power to remember resets, but pretended to be blissfully ignorant for Sans’s sake and so he could keep offering his hand of help to Frisk/basically Chara. In every single timeline Papyrus continued to believe that he could help her, he never stopped trying to matter how many times he died. And eventually with the right help she did. Papyrus was the first to say “I forgive you” and truly mean it. Chara and Papyrus quickly got on good terms when he saw how blatantly horrified she was at her actions and how sorry she was.

However it took Sans two years to actually forgive her. In this timeline Sans gets on good terms with Chara on a Christmas evening two years after the whole Undertale thing happens. On that day everyone is celebrating inside while Chara is sitting outside on the porch by herself. She feels as if she doesn’t deserve to be in the presence of all this happiness, especially not from the ones she’s killed so many times. She feels disgusted with herself looking at Sans across the room and just KNOWING that he remembers EVERYTHING shes done and still hates her for it. Her sins are crawling up her back you could say. So she’s out there by herself sulking, and Sans just pops up without the front door making a sound.

“What’cha doin outside? Its cold out here.“ he says. She looks up at him. Holy crud. She’s so screwed. Shes out here by herself with Sans. The person that probably hates her most in the world. If he wanted to, he could take a shortcut somewhere with her and just kill her. But instead.. he lightly tosses her coat in her lap and casually sits down beside her. “Not havin fun?“ ..”I was..“ Chara says, “But lets be honest.. we both know I don’t deserve this. I never deserved a second chance to begin with..“ Its silent for a bit, but then she says, ”..I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.. for everything.“ She sounds like she wants to cry but she’s too scared and emotionally exhausted to cry. “...you really think I hate you and wanna kill you, huh?“ Sans asked. He was little surprised when she instantly nods in response. 0 hesitation. 0 denying. 100% sure. 1000% afraid. Sans kind’a sighs and then goes on to say this,

“Look, kid..You know what I am? I’m a judge, well a judge of character to be specific. I look at someone and judge them on the content of their character, their motives, their intentions, and their actions.“ Chara cringes at the last part. “But.. I also judge them on change. How they look at themselves and what they do to fix their mistakes and clean up the messes they’ve made.. Chara.. when I look at you, I don’t see the same Chara I saw over two years ago.” Chara doesn’t look at him still being afraid. Sans carefully puts his hand on her shoulder, she looks at him with tears welling in her eyes.

“I don’t hate you Chara. I don’t want you to die..well.. not anymore. I judge you now and see someone who’s remorseful, and has tried everyday for the past two years to fix what she’s done. All I’ve seen out of you since we’ve been on the surface is a kid who’s sorry, And wants to make it up to everyone. As soon as you learned that Papyrus remembers what you did too, you went straight to him and apologized profusely. I cant find anything about your past self that still remains. You’re a changed person Chara, and I’m happy you’ve finally gone down the right path.” Chara was stunned into silence. Then to top it all off he said.

“I forgive you Chara.“ ..She started to cry. Sans just gave her a hug and sat with her finally being confident that she didn’t have a hidden knife up her sleeve. She finally had that heavy weight lifted off her shoulders. She felt like she could finally move on knowing the person who hated her the most had forgiven her.

The whole “Sans forgiving Chara” thing was a huge knot in the timeline that I wasn’t quite sure how to untie until now. I like this little timeline and might start drawing from it more often. I’m not 100% sure “Refinedtale” is going to stay its name, but I think it works for now. I hope you’ve enjoyed if you’ve read this far in. :)

The Happiest Moment {Red X Frisk}

(This sketch is ancient but I still think it is really cute)

🌼Howdy, everyone! I was just telling @franstastic-ideas about how I was writing up this wedding scene. I just... I had to. I know I am kind of the angst queen but I need fluff. I love fluff and I want my precious couple to be happy. So I wrote this. This 100% is canon to WTU. I may even elaborate on it more in the future. I hope you enjoy! 💙

DO NOT REPOST MY WORK WITHOUT MY PERMISSION IT IS NOT FOR YOUR USE. IF YOU LIKE MY WORK PLEASE REBLOG INSTEAD! It helps me so much! It makes such a difference.💙If you want more of these just let me know! It’s the only way I can gauge interest!

The Happiest Moment

My name is Frisk.

No last name. I guess they didn’t think I needed one...

I am in my twenties (or so I think), blue eyes, auburn hair, and about 5’5”

Frisk stared at herself in the floor-length mirror placing her hand gently on the reflective surface. She had never seen so much white before in her life and she was draped in it. It was all she could do, stare silently. A natural flush on those pale cheeks as vibrant sapphire eyes stared back at her. Never had she felt so pretty before. This girl that now stood opposite of her was so unfamiliar and yet over time she had become this girl entirely.

Her hair had grown since that time, tumbling down in gentle auburn waves to brush her collarbone. Those soft bangs were neatly brushed as a veil lay nestled on the crown of her head. It was decorated with beading and white and gold flowers and lace. Small intricate patterns wove their way along the sheer fabric that fell just off the back of her cute angular bob of hair.

Soft and dainty gold and silver flower earrings dangled from her ears. One wrapped it’s blossoming vine up to curve up at the contour of her ear. She had refused to wear too much makeup but she had a light dusting of white and gold eyeshadow on her lids. A soft sweeping curve of eyeliner made her eyes pop even more than they naturally did.

Her dress was off the shoulder exposing the hollow of her throat where a simple golden flower necklace rested. In the center of the petals was a sapphire heart stone. It shifted to ruby from time to time being magically imbued. He had given it to her and said it was specially made only for her. The sentiment had been so sweet that she refused to take it off.

Now her fingers gently traced the intricate metal work that looped and coiled around her neck. It was the breathtaking token of his love. Something she would never part with as that bright blue crystal faded to glow a soft ruby. It always meant that he was close by, thinking of her. His ring was fashioned in a similar way. Every time she thought of him it would glow that deep cobalt.

The rest of her dress was decorated with white and silver beading, feathers and flowers. White feathers framed the top of her dress resting just on her shoulders. Her corseted bodice branched down into the skirt like dainty embroidered vines. Various amounts of beading sprinkled her entire dress and the fabric underneath looked as though a rain of petals was falling behind a soft curtain of chiffon.

Her dress reached the ground but it was no normal hem. A series of floral embroidery and details grew up toward the bodice. It looked as though she had run through a field of golden flowers and they decided to grow upon the fabric. It was a stunning dress to look at from any angle. At the back, her laces had been dyed to slowly fade into a soft gold from the pristine white.

It was a tradition for her dress to have golden flowers within it. The Dreemurr family had been associated with them for a very long time. Her father wanted her to uphold that tradition and she gladly did. Never did she think she would ever have a tradition to uphold. The feathers were supposed to represent the angel that had freed them from their life imprisonment underground. They all saw her as such, the angel of the prophecy.

This affair was not just a symbol of her finding true happiness with another but a unification. It had to be perfect even though she wasn’t sure if it had to be so elaborate. Mettaton jumped at the chance as soon as their engagement had been announced. The union of a monster and a human. It was unheard of but this was to show it was possible. That the past was in the past and a brighter future was on the horizon for both their people.

Their day had felt so impossible so long ago. They had been through Hell and back still intact after everything that had happened. Now as she stood there, turning to face those double doors as the music started to play softly play behind them, she went back in time. Thinking about all the events that led her to this point.

----

They had not always seen eye to eye, in fact far from. She was a human falling into this dangerous world of monsters and he had always been different than the rest. At first, he blamed her for it all, those ruby eye lights glaring into her soul with a deep-seated rage.

Over and over again the wheel continued to turn. One event after the other causing her to want absolutely nothing to do with him. He had hurt her in more ways than she could describe. Those that left physical scars but also invisible ones. He was a monster, true to the term. She used to have nightmares about him and the place she was now trapped over and over again. Months in Snowdin left her at a standstill. It was almost as if he was trying to get her attention and make her feel at home. She just had this drive to make it to the end. She had to keep moving. It was something that pushed her forward in the core of her soul. In the end, he was trying. He knew what he had done, how she saw him but no matter how hard he tried nothing could change that feeling.

That is until their separation. She had always been forgiving, kind, compassionate but that did not mean she was invulnerable. Always hiding behind a cracked smile. The tears she shed that day had meant to be private. No one was supposed to know of her weakness but that was not what had happened. He had been spying on her. No doubt wanting to fetch her so they could continue their last leg of the journey into Hotland.

Her broken form slumped over unable to contain the emotions she had been repressing ever since she had lost everything, her home, her family, and herself. There was nothing better for her and there never would be. He wouldn’t understand what he had put her through even resets did not come without their strings attached.

She remembered so clearly the look on his face when he saw tear stains carved into her soft porcelain cheeks. How his voice wavered trying to speak his own truth when his entire life had suppressed it. It started with a simple apology, something that he never did. His eyes no longer held that rage but rather hope. He wanted her to forgive him to look at him differently. So she gave him that chance.

It was hard, at first. She would joke with him and the more she learned the more a softness grew within her heart for him. He was damaged maybe even more than her. She brought out a different side of him and he just continued to strengthen her resolve. He became her best friend. Of course, the age-old story of boy sees girl, gets girl, and loses girl was all too prevalent. No more so fitting than the last leg of their quest. The Capital.

There he stood as her final obstacle. The one he had warned her about cryptically for so long. A monster with immense power that had one task and one task only, kill her and bring her soul to their king. It felt as though a knife had been thrust into her back and plunged deeply into her soul. The remnants of her hope and trust lay shattered and scattered about her feet. This had been his plan all along. Kill her. Be free.

Those were the only thoughts going through her mind as she collapsed to the warm sunset-colored tiles. He had lied to her. Even though the moment had passed so long ago she could still hear his shouts for her to get to her feet, to fight back. She never did. At least not at first. That was only the first time she had been in that place, hearing that bell chime as if she stood before the one person that would damn her or be her salvation. The Judge.

She had snapped as she managed to dodge his attacks, one blast after the other. A knife glinted in her hand as the demon took over. In that small amount of time, it had finally pushed her consciousness from her, forcing her to see everything as a ghostly spectator. Chara had wanted to kill him from the first moment she met him and now she had her chance.

But….

In the last moments as she raised the knife ready to thrust it down and dust him for good she managed to gain control. The metal collided to the floor and she began to weep more than she ever had before. She couldn’t kill him. Even with his betrayal, she couldn’t watch him die. That was the moment she knew how important he was. How losing him caused her to break down in his arms.

He didn’t want this. He never had. It was why he had tried to keep her away for so long, trying to scare her back to Snowdin. Even offering her a place as a part of their family to keep her from this fate. One that rested squarely in his skeletal hands. He couldn’t do it or rather… he wouldn’t. He wouldn’t let her go. If she did. She would die all because they wanted their freedom when they were just as much to blame for the war as the humans had been.

He had said so himself as he held her there. It would have been nice to take his offer but she knew what had to be done. His change had proven to her that they no longer deserved to be trapped like animals. That bright blue of integrity made it her truth, her purpose, her mission. Set the monsters free. It was what she was born to do.

----

Her hand slowly reached for a corner of her dress so that she was able to walk easily. Even if her shoes were heels, which she was far from used to. A soft smile graced her face as she continued to drift through her memories, almost feeling his hands threaded through her own once again.

The cream-colored walls of the chapel dissolved around her leaving her on the floor of that hall once more.

----

Her tears had come to an end but his warmth never left her. Those skeletal hands took her own before she felt them on her cheek. Those soft warm eyes were filled with regret and pain. He knew she wouldn’t just let this go no matter how much he begged. Not a single word was exchanged. All they had to do was look at each other. It was a shared understanding.

He later told her that was the moment he knew he loved her. No one had taken priority more than himself or his brother. He would do anything to see her happiness. Even if at the time she had not quite felt the same. A later talk about soul mates would clarify the subject more but at the time she just couldn’t lose her best friend. He deserved more and she wanted to give him that.

She had told herself over and over that she wasn’t special. That she was just another human and that anyone could have done what she had done. She had been proven wrong. The barrier had fallen and yet she was still very much alive. It was a new time. One where the monsters were finally free and she was able to see it all.

Boss became a world-renowned chef opening restaurants all over to great success though he stayed with them all in their little town. The restaurant was booked so far in advance that is nearly took years to get a reservation. It broke 5 stars easily with its underground dining all harking back to their old home. All sections Underworld themed.

Red found out that running his own business was easy when you had a mind like his. That, of course, did not stop him from getting into gaming. He was a pro at retro and made a good living only growing his own business. It really suited him with all his tech knowledge.

She would sit and watch him for hours before learning to play herself. The moment she beat him at a game she lit up in excitement. She was beating a pro and all for the sake of fun. At first she thought that he would be upset by it but instead, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him.

He never did get rid of that fluffy jacket and that sweet cinnamon smell that seemed to surround it. She remembered her cheeks flushed as he held her making sure to keep his hands modest. It was Red he was not exactly known for it. He broke away from her and cleared his throat, a red flush painted over his cheekbones. In the next few minutes he tried to play it off but that image of him lingered.

It would take him years to finally understand that he was deserving of happiness. That his past mistakes did not determine his future. Every time he saw her that guilt would eat him alive. No more so than when she ended up comforting him during his nightmares. Her father was not so keen on her living with the brothers but she was happy among them. Her room was right down the hall.

So when she could not sleep one night she found him tossing and turning. If you wanted to consider tossing things about the room in that way. That bright crimson glow wrapped around various objects in the room, smashing into walls, and nearly taking her head off. It was how his night terrors usually went. There were even times when he called out her name.

In the dark of the room, she would lay by his side and hold him in her arms, gently rubbing the top of his skull to ease him back into sleep. She would lay with him curled against her. His head would be tucked under her chin as she whispered soft words to him. There were times when he would dig his skeletal fingers into her causing her to whimper but he would awaken shortly after.

This happened over and over until one night during one of his fits he woke suddenly only to stare at her. It had been months of the same and she had gotten little sleep. He begged her to get her own rest but she refused to leave so instead he held her. She didn’t think he knew what she was doing for him most nights but he mimicked the same actions.

Of course, she had terrors of her own, rife with emotional baggage she was startled awake after a rather gruesome death. Her first death. The one that haunted her waking nightmares from just how brutal it was. As he held her he noticed the fear swirling in her eyes as they met his own only for them to come to the realization that it was only a dream.

It was only a nightmare. Both of them, broken and finding each other. Such a strange night to dwell on but that was the moment she realized she wanted to be in his arms like this, forever. Despite their past, they were there for each other and she didn’t want to lose that comfort and warmth. Even his flirtatious attitude was affecting her more and more.

There was no feasible way that she had romantic feelings for Red. It just did not register in her mind. He was her best friend and that was all. Right? She could not have been more wrong. Everyone seemed to notice it but her and him. Someone could cut the tension they shared with a knife according to Mettaton and Blookie.

Boss, Red’s older brother, even mentioned something offhandedly to her one time. At first, she thought that he was in fact joking. Boss, though having lightened up over the years, did not joke about such things but it wasn’t the mention that melted her heart.

No. That was due to what he said. That she was good for him and if she ever decided that was what she wanted, he would be proud and happy to call her true family. It was a good thing that Red had not returned home yet because it caused her to start crying at the sentiment.

She tried to see if her feelings were strong. If that was her true heartfelt desire. Everyone she ever dated never seemed to bring that smile to her face like he did. No one could make her life quite like him. It was just...special. Of course, not everyone was thrilled with her feelings.

Her father, Asgore, was extremely overprotective. He had trusted Red as the Judge of the Underworld but did he trust his daughter to the skeleton, no. She honestly wondered if he would trust anyone when it came to her but he was not the one that loathed the idea the most. No. That title went to her non-blood brother Asriel.

That day when he grabbed her shoulders gently and confessed how he felt left her shell-shocked. Those emerald eyes held a silent plea for her to love him in a way that she never could. She had called him brother for a reason…

“Frisk… I love you. Please. Don’t you love me? I am your best friend. I have always been by your side even when I felt such emptiness.”

“Asriel...I...I do love you…” “But?” “You are my brother and I think I lov-” “Don’t say it Frisk. Don’t you DARE say it! After everything. All the deaths. All the betrayal you still say that name. How can you even want to be near him!?” “Az please...” Her whole world had frozen in that one moment as he turned his back to her and glanced over his shoulder. That simple question that fell from his mouth as he stared her down, “Do you love him?”

At first, she didn’t know how to answer but when she didn’t say anything at all he left her. It was the moment she had confessed to herself that she wanted more. That their friendship felt far deeper than anything she had with anyone else. She had the frightening task to accept her own deeply held feelings and no longer push them away.

And so she did.

Red was easy to talk to about most things but for her, this was the most difficult thing she would ever talk about. Her heart beat quickly in her chest as she sat on the couch, fingers fiddling with one another in an effort to stay calm. She almost felt as though her senses were heightened. Every nerve in her body was on edge as she sat there.

All of this during one of his typical gaming sessions. It would be easy to say if he was semi distracted. At least that was her plan. That was not how it turned out and honestly, she should have known better.

He set the controller down after pausing the game. She couldn’t help but keep her eyes fixated on the multi-colored flashing lights of the continue button. His voice caused her nerves to skyrocket to the point that she almost got up and left the room. He, however, was not going to let her flee as he asked her if she was ok.

Red was always good at reading her when his understanding was there. It wasn’t always. She recalled his hand rubbing at her back thinking that she might be sick. He wasn’t too far off the mark for that assumption, “I am just a little… nervous,” she replied softly finally able to see the concerned look painting his skeletal face. Those ruby eye lights wavered softly as he stared at her as if one word from her lips would destroy him, “Red… I… We need to talk.”

She could feel her heart lodged in her throat, unable to speak as she turned to him, picking up those skeletal hands gently. Her cheeks were flushed she was sure but she had to be honest with him and herself. “Red. You and I. We haven’t always been like this. All I ever wanted was your friendship and I gained so much more. You made me believe in myself. That I was important and not just a tool like so many treated me before. I...I would never want to lose my best friend. You have always been there for me. Always loyal. I… I can’t ask for anything more.”

Her eyes stared into his own as hers too started to waver. She always spoke from the heart and that could not be seen any more clearly than now. Her nerves were slowly eating her alive. His hand just gently slipped from her own and rested on her cheek. A skeletal thumb brushed just under her eye. He already knew, didn’t he? The warm soft smile on his face was an indication. Just looking at that expression caused her soul to pulse within her chest. Her entire being was throbbing inside her as she tried to tell him how she felt. A few soft tears slipped down her cheeks from bottling up all this strong emotion.

“Red. I can’t ask anything more of you. I never want to lose what we have and I am going to be selfish. It has taken me a long time to understand exactly how I feel and maybe I am just naive. You are the closest person to me and I… need...you… Red I… lo-”

He didn’t even give her the opportunity to say it as his mouth met hers. It was almost as if every pent up emotion and feeling was spilling out of him. Every thought left her. All she could think of was him. How his mouth felt against her own and the pounding of her own heart as her eyes fluttered closed. She remembered his arms pulling her to lay against him. The sound of a controller softly falling to the carpet below. It was almost as if time had frozen. His fingers tangled in her hair deepening that already passionate kiss. He pulled back slowly nearly taking her breath with him. She half expected a chuckle or a look of confusion. Not a passionate makeout session leaving her mind foggy.

Not that she had complained. That was the moment they had been truly honest with themselves. He had felt he didn’t deserve her and she had felt that he would never see her in that way. They had both been wrong. The pure joy she felt at that moment could not be fathomed. Indescribable.

“I love ya too Sweetheart.”

----

The memory drifted away softly as the music began to fill the room once more. Her hands lovingly held a bouquet of bright echoflowers. She was told that they were special as they held onto memories of the soul rather than just simple words. A way to preserve this moment for all time. It was a tradition for them to be held by the bride but the groom had one in his breast pocket as well.

She had not seen him in a while. All the clamoring of the wedding party and the dresses and the cakes. It was so much. Never in her life had she been surrounded by such extravagance. She would have preferred a small wedding. One with all her close friends and family though the distinction was difficult to make. It was not every day a Princess of an entire people gets married.

It was so strange to even think about. A princess. None of that mattered as those double door swung open with her father smiling at her from the doorway. His hand extended out to her as she took his arm. He looked so proud that his little princess had found happiness though Red was not the one he would have picked. If anyone he would have chosen Red’s older brother, Papyrus.

Everyone stood to turn to look at her which made her nervous, of course. There were so many monsters with their attention on her and she already felt small compared to her father. Her nerves caught in her throat but that all vanished.

The music faded away. The eyes of everyone on her seemed to vanish.

There, standing in a black tuxedo, his hands folded gently in front of him, eye sockets widening as his eyes met hers, was Red. She could just see that faint cherry flush on his cheekbones, eyes changing into soft ruby hearts, and smile lifting on his face. That was the moment everything else disappeared leaving just the two of them.

They didn’t need words. All they needed was each other.

Forever and always

---

My name is Frisk Fontaine

And this is the happiest moment of my life.

Please go into it

alright. general cw for the no mercy route. [activates reddit mode for Frisk Mental Problems Rant Supreme]

This is going to be heavily based off my particular version of Frisk, but to start off, the reason I despise any Frisk being treated like a vaguely “normal,” healthy kid is their trip to Mt. Ebott. I’ve seen people pretend they just went on a dare, or “ohh they like hiking,” or God-only-knows-what. No. It’s canonically a mountain where people only go to disappear, this is how Ebott is introduced. It means something that Frisk went there. Whether they fell or jumped is irrelevant. (Sidenote, apparently some people still confuse Chara in the opening cutscene for Frisk. Chara’s the one who provably tripped.)

All my art is based off the premise of Frisk having full agency during the game, and seeing all routes. Player theory, while interesting, isn’t my thing and robs the True Pacifist ending of its impact. While the No Mercy ending contains digs at Video Game Players, those digs can also apply to Frisk without the game losing anything. The game is an experience for the player, but its narrative does not require a player, basically. (Unlike Deltarune, but people have already made that post.)

I believe pre-game they were heavily isolated from their peers, explaining their generally minimal and often unusual communications with others in the game.

I believe they were likely neglected by their parents, explaining their predisposition to do fucking everything on their own and eat out of trashcans. (That’s not a necessary thing to do in the CORE, but Frisk is pretty eager to do it.)

To go through getting the Perfect Pacifist Run, Frisk dies. A lot. They hear the same things. Over and over.

Of course the run is the only way to truly escape the Underground, but Frisk can’t know that until they do it. They do this run because they have a gaping hole in them where healthy affection should have been. They shove the hero worship and admiration into that gap until it overflows, and THAT is the Pacifist Run. THAT’s the heart of why they’re willing to be in so much pain and go through so much tedium for an uncertain end.

Frisk is endlessly determined. They pursue Goodness with tunnel vision until the Perfect Pacifist Run is complete. They feel what it’s like to be a hero, to be good, to be loved.

Say they choose to stay with Toriel. Daily interactions run like rote, they’re surrounded by people who know nothing about them really but still say I love you every morning and night, and maybe the annoyances pile up. (Of course, they’re too Good, too Perfect to ever voice these annoyances and spoil the facade.) Maybe in a faint way they remember the first few runs, before they understood that dying didn’t matter anymore, when the monsters all terrified them. When the pain meant something beyond solidifying their martyrdom.

Maybe they remember what it felt like, killing someone before they could be spared. Awful, of course. They didn’t mean to. But LV is an addictive substance. It feels good, having power. It feels amazing, when you've never tried it before.

They go back.

Maybe they just try a few easy kills. Of course they wouldn’t have it in them to kill Toriel! They love her so much, why would they ever? They just see what it’s like, and then they’ll go back to normal. They’re a good kid. They just wanted to know, they just had to, it’s not even their fault really, and after a reset it’s like they haven’t even done it. They’re still alive. Nothing bad happened.

But then, since nothing bad happened, why not go further with it?

That’s how No Mercy happens. Somewhere down the line they’ve stopped pretending it matters to them, seeing the people they knew crumble apart, somewhere they stop looking away from the infinite pools of rage that helped them get so far, they really, really enjoy it. They’re so powerful. They’re on top of the world. What’s one more now? What’s anything?

Then at the end there’s Chara. Who Frisk loves. (You don’t play Undertale without loving the narrator. They’re there with you every step of the way, pushing you to your greatest heights in the Asriel fight, making stupid puns every step of the way, encouraging and funny and there. For Frisk, it was having someone there with them that made the difference. Someone who truly knows them and knows what they went through and admired it. Up to now.)

The No Mercy route’s effects on Chara and their relationship with Frisk were staggering, but aren’t all related. Main point is Frisk loses their friend, goes through an extremely traumatizing upheaval of the power they’d been building, and returns to square 1 shaken. (I do have an AU where Frisk ended everything and left it that way, but this is default flavor.)

They go back to the end of Pacifist and get to remember every time they eat dinner or speak with someone what that person looked like as dust beneath their heels. Chara will never forgive them, and no one else will ever understand what the resets did to them. They are utterly isolated, even more desperate to prove that they are good and that they deserve more than emptiness, seething with ill-repressed rage towards everyone they know, and still in some kind of probably-platonic love with someone who they forced to sit through the ultimate suffering.

That’s “how they’re mentally ill.”

undertale day [long post]

it’s the 15th!! happy 4th birthday undertale!!! normally i try to do a little art or something but this year i decided to do something a little different. there’s a lot of content that’s become core tenets of my experience with the fandom -- changed the way i thought about the characters, how i engage with the fandom, opened my eyes to new ways of writing -- and i thought it’d be neat to compile some of those into one post to share with other people. so without further ado!!!

40-minute Deltarune Piano Medley - FaceImplosion [MUSIC]

ok, i know this is deltarune and not undertale, but this medley incorporates songs from both games so i’m gonna say it counts. and honestly, i could say a LOT about this piece!! i’ve watched and listened to a lot of ut/dr medleys, and this has to be the most lovingly crafted of its type that i’ve ever seen. Ever. a lot of care has been put into the order and combination of the songs (some funny, some sad, some mindblowing, ALL amazing) and the art is so good that every time i listen i find myself watching along. there’s a lot of easter eggs, especially for the attentive listener/watcher, and this medley deserves far more than the 6k views it’s gotten so far.

Undertale Album Project - Various Artists [MUSIC]

Songs From Mt Ebott is a collaborative album project that contains dozens of tracks from a score of different artists. i have a lot of favorite tracks from this album, not to mention the individual track art created for each, and if you’ve never heard of this project before, i really recommend giving it a listen! (FaceImplosion also did a piano track for this album, by the way, which i’m linking separately because it’s one of my aforementioned favorites.)

Chara - tigerblossom [MUSIC]

im not gonna lie. this was my favorite piece of fan music for a long time. it’s a medley mashing a few different songs together, short and sweet, but it comes together in such an incredibly heartfelt way at the end that whenever i end up listening to it i find myself wishing the track was about five minutes longer. they also have an underfell version of your best friend that i recommend giving a listen!

Photographs - FuriousPoplar [FIC]

in terms of “post-paci everyone lives au”s, there’s been a lot of ground covered by a lot of different people, and after a while the concept feels almost a bit...same-y? but this fic covers a sorely-needed conversation between an alive chara and asriel in a way that i’ve never seen approached by anyone else before. it’s cathartic, it’s extremely well written, and it doesn’t shy away from the ugly sides of trauma and recovery, which is so greatly appreciated. it also hit me...REALLY hard, which i think is a testament to how amazing this piece is.

Turn Back - foxsgloves [FIC]

i read this one pretty early on in my time in this fandom, and it’s continued to influence me long after. the premise: frisk keeps loading over the brief time asriel has his body in the epilogue, and simply spends time with him as they both prepare to move on towards the end. it’s sad. it’s cute. it’s amazing. it’s something i go back to reread sometimes late at night when i want to reread something friendly and familiar and a little sad. and its been one of my favorites ever since i read it.

You Wear Your Grief Like a Badge - Draikinator [FIC SERIES]

how do you even TALK about ywyglb? do i talk about nate’s impeccable voice in their writing? how true to character they are with the kids? how they set the scene of a post-pacifist world still shaking with the echoes of the past? the series starts with flowey taking frisk’s soul captive while chara and sans form an uneasy alliance in order to get them back, and then spirals into a tense, sweet, funny, awful, heartbreaking experience that reshaped how i viewed the boundaries of my own writing. draikinator’s writing has been and continues to be a huge inspiration to me, and i heartily recommend giving any of their stuff a try.

A Numbered List of Things That Aren't as Badass as They Sound (ex. Monsters, Suicide, Burning in Hell) - rosyy [FIC]

a brief glimpse into chara and asriel just before It Happens, While It Happens, When It Happens. the prose here is the sort of flowery delirious feverdream you’d expect from a kid dying of buttercup poisoning, and i love it to bits. i also want to mention a dr who crossover by the same author, because it has kris as the doctor and frisk as the stray they adopt, and its also the perfect antidote to the angst the first fic provides.

Risen Up (or, Of Fallen Children and Mountain Kin) - paradoxpangolin [FIC]

oh jeezums, how do i even start with this one? post-paci, frisk comes to the conclusion that the best way to ease the tensions between human and monsterkind is to put on a musical about their time in the underground!!!!.....except this leads to its own host of complications, and things get a bit Messy. this fic hasn’t updated in a bit, but it contains so much in its 140k of already published writing that i feel the need to urge you to read it anyway. i’m really partial to autistic frisks, and this fic has what’s got to be my favorite portrayal of that in ... probably the entire fandom? honestly, most (if not all) of the characters in this fic are autist, and it’s just. very good. i love.

you’re like a mirror, reflecting me - batterytriplicate [FIC]

a daemon au exploring what frisk and chara’s journeys might have been like with the extra distinction between monster dust and daemon dust. i completely forgot about this fic until i was trawling through my ao3 history for this post, and i’m really really glad i found it again. i think i was in the middle of trying to figure out this exact au when i first found this fic, and it did everything i was thinking of (and more) so much better that i felt more than content leaving it at that. so if you like his dark materials and want to see a fantastic little daemon au, give this a shot!

soulless-pacifist - vsemily [ASK BLOG]

soulless-pacifist..... if you’ve never heard of this askblog, you’re in for a treat. i wasn’t with it from the very beginning, but i started reading towards the middle of its main story arc and stuck with it to the end, and suffice it to say, it has to be my favorite fandom askblog to date, purely for how well its written, how well its drawn, and how it’s one of the....only askblogs i’ve ever seen come not only to a FULL conclusion, but to a satisfying one! the mun also worked with a programmer to create a fangame for its final arc, which is so above and beyond that im still kind of in disbelief. in short: this askblog followed frisk and their passenger after the events of a soulless pacifist route, and continues on with them as they grow together and find their place with a whole host of twist and turns in store. also, memes.

Shine your light with me, chase all the dark away - FancifulRivers [FIC]

this au follows frisk and chara after the events of the game. unlike most post-paci runs, though, chara has their own body back, while they and frisk are hiding back in mt ebott after the monsters have left to avoid the complications of being runaways and also.... incredible guilt and trauma. things don’t really work out like that, though, and i really recommend this read. fancifulrivers has also been an incredibly prolific writer who’s uploaded a lot of really good ut fics, so this is a great starting point to jump off of for their other stuff!

repercussions - proximally [FIC]

this fic... i think this one fic is the one that’s impacted me the most during my early days of this fandom. it’s short, and sad, and is a twist on the soulless pacifist ending that i was left thinking about literally for months after i first read it. instead of saying any more and risking spoiling it, i’ll just leave the author’s desc: “You made a mistake, and you pay for it with your life. “

The Great Boondoggle - Masu_Trout [FIC]

the premise of this fic is pretty simple. post paci, frisk is walking home. they come across a Bad Guy. hijinks ensue. but what sets apart this fic from others for me is the way frisk is written here. when this fic was published in early 2016, most frisks i came across were the...sweet harmless woobies that were pretty typical from the fandom. this is one of the first frisks i came across that was kind of mean, and a little cold, and had very obviously had a long upward climb to being the sort of person who chose mercy instead of fight. this portrayal is a lot more common nowadays, which i’m super grateful for, but since this is one of the first fics i came across that really nailed this portrayal, i felt i should leave this here. i also recommend their pokemon/ut au, which is toriel and frisk centric and i also love to bits.

and....well, i was gonna say “that’s it”, but i honestly had to cut quite a few things from this list to keep it from stretching the dash too much. there’s been a lot of incredible content created by this fandom over the years, and this is by no means a comprehensive list of my favorites. but these are some of the ones that impacted me in a really special way, and if you were kind enough to check them out and maybe even liked them, please consider leaving a kind comment for the creator! if you’re the author of one of these pieces reading this right now: thank you so much! im looking forward to finding even more favorites in this year and the next.

#undertale #deltarune #fic rec #longpost #long post #techinically its NOT the 15gh for me yet but theres like. an hour left #and i cant wait to post this anymore SO!!!!#idk theres a lot of stuff this fandom has produced thats been pretty. terrible #but there's just as much if not more stuff people have created thats changed the way i thought #about other people and myself and the way i interact with the world and all that #etc etc etc #anyway. im gay

Fuck you racism

Dignity is a fundamental human right. At the most basic level, every person deserves to be seen and respected, to feel safe and to feel that they belong to the collective human race. Racism destroys all that. Racism divides through fear and hate. And it does so on the basis of something we didn’t choose - our skin colour. It tells people of one race (usually those with darker skin) that they are less than. Racism has existed for centuries and continues to proliferate social, economic and political structures. Colonialism, slavery, apartheid, residential schools, police brutality, food deserts, black ghettos, racial pay inequities, affirmative action, black incarceration, voter suppression, frisking, xenophobia, islamophobia.....the proof points in history and from the present day go on. And the only way that it has remained is by being systematized. Racism is systemic because it was born in and remains grounded in a dominant ethnocentric system whereby the superior, preferred or default lens is white. Everything is referenced, compared or judged against the “normal” superior white race, culture and way of life. Any deviation from the default white lens is seen as less valuable, questionable or as a threat - be it an accent, a different physical appearance and cultural dress, a different faith, different food, a different area code or a different approach to family i.e. living in an extended family.

The scariest thing about racism though is when it’s implicit. People of colour don’t even know when racism suddenly enters their lives. They don’t see it coming. One day a racial slur, physical abuse or other act of discrimination occurs in your life, usually in childhood and your brain registers the message “I’m different” and “I am not safe”. You never thought there was anything wrong with you. As a carefree and curious child, you might not have grown up realizing that the world would treat you differently just because of the colour of your skin. You naively believed you’ll have equal access and that meritocracy is a real thing (fake news). The first time you experience racism it’s an assault to the soul. We cannot understand or ever fully appreciate that which we have never personally witnessed or experienced. If you were born into the dominant white race, you may not even realize that systemic racism is operating because you never had to explain yourself, your way of life or had first-hand discrimination for the colour of our skin. Why? Because even though it’s 2020 and Canada is a diverse country in head count, white is still the dominant and privileged race. White privilege is an outcome of a racist society. Not all white people are racist and privilege does not mean your life was/is easy but it is certainly easier in certain respects than those who experience racism.

For almost their entire lives, people of colour have had to defend, explain, hide or submit to acts of outright discrimination just because their skin is not white. As a Punjabi Sikh woman born and raised in Canada, I remember being bullied and beaten up, chased on my way home by white boys shouting “paki” and worrying about the teachers judging my parents’ accent as we went to parent-teacher meetings. I learned to be careful, to try to fit in, hiding my Indian food at recess and not walking into a mall wearing a Punjabi suit. I witnessed complete strangers harassing my family with racial slurs and attempts to break our windows in the middle of the night. And I remember thinking “why are they doing this to us?” The fear and shock in my parent’s eyes traumatized me. As an adult, I discovered that my incredibly hard working father with a Masters degree from Punjab’s best University couldn’t get an entry level manual labour job when he first came to Canada because of his turban and it was only when he cut his hair that he was given employment. Now as a grown adult woman, I have felt the distress and micro aggressions that come with being “one of one” (the only person of colour) on a team and the unspoken pressure to work extra hard to prove my capability and worthiness. Why? Because the trauma of racism imprints a deeper scar of imposter syndrome on your mind where you have to work to undo the narrative that you are different and perhaps you’re not really that great, that perhaps you’re just the token brown person who was chosen to balance things out and that perhaps everyone here is questioning your worth and the value that you bring to the table. The residue of growing up and living within a racist system also makes you stronger. You get to a point where you must find your voice and use it to speak out against injustices. I learned this as a child in elementary where my parents didn’t know what to do with me coming home with good grades but also school suspensions because I chose to fight back. The fight against racism gets draining. Perhaps most draining is having to prove, justify or validate your lived experience to white people who are so blissfully ignorant to their privilege. People of colour need not endure further trauma to prove their trauma. It crushes the soul.

I love my skin. I am proud to be brown. I’m incredibly proud of my Sikh Punjabi roots and now I thank my parents everyday for ensuring that I fluently spoke my Mother tongue before I spoke a word of English (at the age of 6). I also realize that mostly every successful person of colour that I have ever known who immigrated to Canada made it by being an entrepreneur because the racist system would never let them rise. Even the best place to work in Canada has yet to see more people of colour and especially those with “accents” rise to the top. I don’t want it to be but racism is something I and almost every other person of colour has learned to live with - and we must continue to fight it. To my non-white friends, keep fighting the good fight. It’s on us to change the world for the next generation. We cannot normalize injustice as culture and pass it onto our children. And to my white friends, lean in. Start reading books from anti-racist people of colour, park your resistance/ego about white privilege, let yourself feel uncomfortable - listen, learn, seek out the truth and use your privilege to drive systemic change. It’s great that you may not “see colour” or think of the world in racialized ways but saying that is a cop-out. It only further undermines the experiences of racialized people who have been subjugated to a world that is racist and a world where systemically and unfortunately, colour does matter. To those who much is given (in this case privilege), much is expected. Unhinge from your privileged opinion. Listen, learn and be an ally to those who have been dealt the harsh blows of racism.The fringe needs the core to drive change from the inside out. Together, we can restore humanity to a state of oneness - the ultimate law of the Universe.

Chara Headcanon

Remember that Chara would have easily been able to RESET after their death, as they possessed a determination SOUL. But they didn’t. Not before you kill everyone, they even CONSIDER a RESET. They instead prefer staying DEAD (possibly so Asgore will keep collecting souls and save monster kind).

Chara may be mean but unless you start the genocide, they NEVER suggest killing anyone.

Life on the Surface. At the age of 8-10, Chara climbed Mt Ebott. Legends said they would never return. It's possible that Chara got bullied. Their parents didn't care enough or perhaps they were already dead. When the child looked down a hole that would surely kill them if they fell down, Chara considered suicide. They refused but tripped and fell down. They didn't really want to die, so they called out for help. Called for someone on the surface... and then Asriel appeared.

Life in the Underground. After being adopted by the Dreemurrs, Chara surely experienced a happy childhood. They loved their family, knitted a sweater for their dad and ate the snail pie that Toriel made until they actually got used to the taste. Asgore noticed how much Chara loved the Golden Flowers, so he decided to show them how to take care of a garden. It is likely that Chara had a very good relationship with their dad so they even wanted to bake a pie for him. Still being inexperienced, Chara mistook „cups of butter“ for „buttercups“ and made Asgore very sick. They were unaware that buttercups were poisonous but still felt guilty. They laughed it off, trying to hide it (a very common theme for Chara and for other UT characters). Later Chara managed to make friends with other monsters like Snowdrake. They loved toys (and seem to be less mature than Frisk) and watched Anime (which is the reason they know what a „Tsundere“ is). But Chara still decided to read and gain more knowledge (given by their large vocabulary), hoping to never make that mistake ever again.

Suicide attempts. At some point, there was a change in this behavior. It is possible that Asgore and Toriel didn't tell Chara right away how the monsters were trapped Underground or that it was still a consequence from the buttercup-incident. Either way, after hearing about the war of humans and monsters, Chara hated humanity more than ever before. Usually, someone would call a horrible person a „monster“ so instead Chara called them „demons“. Chara wanted to make up for everything and thought they were the only ones who could do it. They wanted to sacrifice themselves but after possibly a failed suicide attempt, the Dreemurrs hid away all sharp and pointed objects, including knives. Chara hid what could be called another depression with a smile. A forced and unreal one, seemingly creepy. After some time Chara got better and often used this smile as a joke.

The plan. Chara's birthday/anniversary would soon arrive. Toriel and Asgore started to trust Chara a little more with tools, so they decided to give them a worn dagger which would be perfect for cutting plants and vines. Asriel got Chara a heart locket. Meanwhile, Chara and Asriel had a plan. Chara would eat the buttercups. After Chara died and their soul would appear, Asriel was supposed to absorb their soul. Asriel wasn't really fond of that plan. He was fully aware of having to kill six humans and was okay with it after everything he had heard from Chara about their race. The only thing that Asriel really didn't want was losing Chara. But Chara was okay with that! As long as no other family member would have to suffer.

Back on the Surface. Neither Asriel nor Chara knew that power would be split between them. It is still unclear to me why exactly Chara picked up their own body and carried it to the Surface, though it's possible they didn't want to upset Toriel and Asgore too much or perhaps Chara was in something like a state of trance. Still confused about what was happening, just picking up the body in front of them and carrying it to a bed of Golden Flowers. After that Chara either planned to kill 6 random innocent people (like Undyne when she tried to kill a human for the greater good) or 6 specific people (people who would deserve it, their bullies or parents for example). The humans saw Asriel together with the dead body of a child. They were frightened and attacked out of fear, not hatred. They didn't intend to be evil and Asriel could see that. Chara demanded to kill those people, to save Asriel. Asriel refused. He picked up Chara's body, feeling that his sibling should have a proper burial, and went back to the castle, then collapsed in the throne room where his dust spread together with the seeds of the Golden Flowers.

Aftermath. Asgore declared war against humanity. Shocked by his actions, Toriel left him and took Chara's body with her. In the ruins, she buried the child. The seeds stuck to Chara's body later let Golden Flowers grow. Meanwhile, Gaster created the core, taking Chara's soul as the power source. A red, determination soul.

…

Many years later. Confused. Guilty. A disappointment... to everyone. Another human child falls down into the Underground. This time, however, it's a child with a red determination soul – just like Chara's. The fall of the human child woke Chara up from their slumber. Through determination and with the help of the core, Chara is able to follow you. Everywhere where the light shines that is powered by the core, you can hear Chara's voice but can't see their body. On a side note, Chara is the one naming the soundtracks.

Pacifist. On this run, Chara stays rather optimistic. They give you advice, translate monsters' dialogue and on top of that you are giving them a chance to grow with every ACTion you take. But they still feel guilty for what happened in the past. They make puns (like Sans) and sometimes even laugh. I am still unsure if it is just a part of their personality or if they are hiding something (a depression perhaps). But with your guidance, Chara sees that even humans can be good. They see that you should live for someone instead of dying for them. In the final battle, you can save Chara. In return, Chara helps you to save Asriel. And after everything is done, Chara stays in the Underground just like Asriel.

Genocide. On this run, Chara becomes pessimistic even after you have only killed a single monster. After killing more than 20 monsters, they seem to become sadistic. Looking at the dog food in Alphy's lab, they are reminded of the dogs you killed, at the same time Chara laughs. But it is also possible that Chara hides the pain they feel at this moment by laughing it off. After just getting killed by cruel humans, you show them that they were right from the very beginning. And when you reach the end of the battle with Sans and are trapped in his special attack, Chara hopes that this is it and perhaps the genocide will end. But they are wrong. You still manage to pull your weapon and attack. Nothing will end before it's over, so Chara makes it end by force and kills Sans. After watching Asgore die, you have the choice. Restart the game or kill Flowey. If you decide to kill Flowey, Chara will strike like a total maniac until they are sure Flowey is dead.

The end. When you meet Chara in the end, they are smiling. They call themselves a „demon“ - Their self-esteem dropped to zero. And when you decide not to erase the world, despite already having destroyed it, Chara will hate you more than anything else. The world is not worth living anymore. But in Chara's opinion, you are sick. They were already planning to destroy the world before they asked you to do it, so they say „Since when were you the one in control?“. In the end, it is justice. Killing a sick murderer.

A new pacifist run. If you play another pacifist run, Chara gets mad at you. After all, why would someone who has killed everyone still get a happy ending with their victims? After selling your soul, Chara is able to take over control even after leaving the Underground. This way they can remind you every day if what you have done. Not by killing someone but by showing it to you.

Of course, I probably forgot some stuff. If there are any other Chara supporters, let me know if there's anything to add!
