A small time with Axe (ht!sans)

((just a small fluff with the heavily damaged bae))

It was always a gamble of how he would be when he came home. Tonight was one of the rough nights. He hadn’t gotten anything on the hunt tonight, not even a rabbit or squirrel, and that always left his mood sour.

Papyrus was elated anyway, since out of the two of them, he’d adjusted best to surface life. “BROTHER! WE WERE WAITING ON YOU. DINNER IS READY AND WE HAVE TRIED A NEW VEGETABLE TONIGHT.”

Sans’ head flips up so fast his hood falls back, showing that nasty wound on his head. The confusion in his one eyelight is heartbreaking, but you see him slowly remembering that his ‘failure’ didn’t mean his brother went hungry anymore. Good. You wouldn’t have to get in a FIGHT with him tonight.

Papyrus picked you up from your seat on the second-hand sofa and cuddled you happily, “THE HUMAN HAS HELPED ME WITH SO MUCH! SHE EVEN MANAGED TO STEADY MY HANDS TODAY.”

You chuckle softly and nuzzle into Pap’s shoulder padding. He was such a joy to work with. You’d been assigned as the live-in therapist for these two after Barrierfall and the subsequent need for re-socialization therapy for the survivors. Papyrus was your simplest job most of the time. He just needed gentle guiding and reminders, plus some memory help since he’d apparently suffered multiple concussions before coming to the surface. He was a sweetheart, despite his odd fixation on feeding all the humans he met. It was down to a relatively harmless level, just inviting everyone to the closest meal and respectfully accepting their declines. Good progress from him physically picking up anyone he invited whether they said yes or no.

Sans was another matter entirely.

More than once you’d woken up to your proximity alarm (a necessity when working with monsters) blaring and Sans standing over you with a massive thighbone ready to smash your head. It was very hard, at first, to get through to him. Aliza had helped, though it was clear she wanted nothing to do with Sans if she could help it. But now....

You were set down at your place at the dining table (thrift stores were heaven when homing monsters, especially for you, who got the worst cases). Papyrus put the rattlesnake meat on the plates along with the fried eggplant (both from the store! thank heaven), and sat down himself.

Sans stared at the table for a long moment before sitting down, skittish. His memory issues and complete lack of trust in others really didn’t ease much, even after six months of living together. The memory gaps would probably always bother him, but the trust....you were focusing on that as well as quelling his paranoia and temper. He caught you looking, seemed surprised, then cleared his ‘throat’ a bit, “So, ah....you almost done with that thing you work on?” Sans wasn’t much for conversation, usually, but he’d started trying more lately. “I am, actually. Thank you for asking, Sans.” You beamed. It genuinely pleased you when he made small steps like this. “uh....welcome,” He faded off, looking to Papyrus. The big skelly was too busy enjoying his food, delighted at his own (and your) work ending up so tasty. There was a softness to his face now, as Sans looked at his brother. You treasured these moments, probably more than was professionally advisable. He sighed and started eating as well, as did you. Little steps....that’s all they needed.

Comparing how I first drew these two together vs how I’m drawing them now

(This is from my very first tiktok so don’t mind the cringe)

How I drew Barrierfall Brothers 7 months ago:

vs how I draw Barrierfall brothers now:

I think the major difference is that I’m genuinely a lot more comfortable with my style now, I know how I like to draw sans and papyrus so I draw them like that, instead of vaguely trying to copy other artist’s styles

Anyway, reanimating things is hard (:

#art #my art #sans #sans au #undertale #undertale au #papyrus #papyrus au #barrierfall #Barrierfall sans #Barrierfall papyrus #wip #quick sketch #animation wip #then vs now #why did nobody tell me I spelled comparing wrong-

Don’t give yourself a chance to get attached

(CW: blood, death, swearing)

It’s in the order that they died

(I once again am dumping random AU lore onto y’all even tho you didn’t ask)

Barrierfall is one of my main 3 AUs

If you’re interested in small angst comics of the other Two:

Spoketale Idletale

Over a years difference (Im not checking the actual time cause im lazy and also if i looked at tiktok to check I would get distracted again and forget to post this and then my IRL friends will get mad at me for ‘hogging all your art and never posting it’) very rough redraw!!

Top 10 moments before disaster

Also I actually (kind of) understand how armour works now! Yay for me!!

Tho the first pic of paps and sans he still has the battle body because it’s a costume/cosplay and not supposed to be actual functional armour

Also shows off the thing I’m most impressed with this year, my growth in actually attempting backgrounds, even if they’re rough I at least try now lol

Barrier and Trammel (what I have finally decided to call Barrierfall Papyrus) used to be best buddies *insert build a snowman here*

Also yes I am trying to remake my first TikTok and no it is not going well

It made me sad when drawing this that I’m considering just making another au with a happy ending for them (which also could technically be cannon, as they do split the timeline already in the story but we never find out what happened to the other AU so it sup for interpretation)

Back again to feed you with my Daily (for legal reasons: not actually daily) angst :D

I shall never let Barrier happy just as Tiktok shall never let me have any quality (,:

So here’s the version with the full pics

(CW: blood, like, a lot of it)

And the actual frames for ur viewing entertainment

Also, just of note, Barrier technically counts as a Bad Sans,

He’s not part of Nightmare’s Gang but he is hunting Ink down across the Multiverse trying to get revenge for his AU (oh my gosh I just realised he’s basically just Cross- I hate this- nothing in original anymore lmao)

But yeah, he’s willing to get rid of anyone that stands in his way of his goal (though he won’t attack anyone unless necessary, his only true target is Ink)

Love that for him tho <3<3

What’s this?? Another WIP?? Another refusal to work on the things I actually need to work on-

Why explain my Au when I can badly animate it

True pacific Surface au, my favourite (:

Time to cause chaos,

Main Barrierfall characters last (known) words before dying (in order of deaths so it’s technically educational)

(Not all important characters are mentioned btw cause some of them die off screen)

Mettaton: ‘There’s still monsters trapped in there!’

Undyne: ‘Dad..?’

Mayor Williams: ‘You’ve gone and done it now, stupid beast, your kind will get what they deser-‘

Asgore: ‘ah, my love, forgive me.’

Frisk: *You tell Sans that everything is going to be okay*

Sans: ‘whatever you do, don’t let the barri-’

Alphys: ‘No! Fuck you! That’s not fair- thats’s not fair you can’t ask me to do that!’

Flowey: ‘oh shi-hkg- you rea-really are cruel, huh?’

Monster Kid: ‘Wait- Please-‘

Sans: ‘papyrus? but…’

Papyrus: ‘I WON’T EVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS.’

#refusing context #undertale au #barrierfall #hahaha #there are only three ‘survivors’ of Barrierfall so I couldn’t fit in every character death

any lore you've wanted o share but haven't had an excuse to yet relating to ur aus? :3

OH BOY DO I?!!

Strap ur selfves in, cause I got a lot of lore I wanna talk about :D

(I’ll be sticking to my main 6 tho cause I got way too many aus lmao)

General Lore:

Barrierfall:

Barrierfall is my angstiest AU as many of you know, what some people don’t know however, is that it’s also one of my only True Pacifist a Surface AUs (which kinda makes the fact that all but 3 die sadder but meh)

Magic in this AU is more of a solid thing, it’s why Monsters can create Magical Attacks and Magical food, and in the AU, instead of loosing the ability to use magic, Humans just loose the ability to cast magic themselves and instead have to use items to channel the magic they naturally produce (which is why the items left over by the other human souls have magical aspects)

In Barrierfall Monsters can freely use magic but can’t create it as easily, and Humans create it but can’t use it, this was originally a symbiosis the two species had before the war,

But being locked underground means the monsters were slowly using up all their magic resources, weakening their magic, this is why Frisk has the Reset ability, because they’re not fighting any other magic,

But with the monsters underground, the Humans have a whole lot of magic build up that they’re not using.

So, what happens if you break a window in a submarine?

All the pressure of the water floods in and the sub implodes,

Now, what happens if you break a barrier that’s been stopping any of the magic getting into a basically magic-less cavern?? What happens when a tiny lightbulb is compared to the sun? What happens when a drop of determination is compared to a world of magic??

In other words, here’s the answer to your question everyone who’s been asking why the underground falls and why the reset button is destroyed :D

Spoketale:

The residents of Spoketale know they’re in a game, they’re not supposed to, but when your player is a hacker a few glitches can occur.

386 neutral runs, with various hacking/glitches, Player is curious about how far they can push the characters before something changes, they have however, never done a Genocide or Pacifist route, these glitches can be minor things like; switching item pickups (this is an important lore point to Spoke himself), GodModing and taking no damage, to more impactful glitches,

Like, let’s say… deleting entire characters?? Spoke was right, his papyrus isn’t dead (:

But a side effect of all the glitches is different characters gaining awareness, the story of Spoketale actually takes place where Sans meets Player at the ruins to distract them and buy Alphys and Undyne time to evacuate the underground because they know about the resets and Player (it’s also where Spoke gets the crack in his skull)

Idletale:

If you’ve read the prologue of my fic for Idletale you’ll probably have pieced this together already, but Idletale is set in an AU where Gaster tried to create fake human souls (similar to Handplates) by taking a 16th of a human soul and injecting it into a Host’s soul, after various tests it’s found that a single trait being injected will just overwhelm the soul and kill the host, but with two human traits they cancel each other out allowing the 3 souls to synergies

The three survivors of these tests are Sans (Idle) Papyrus and Undyne,

Sans getting Patients and Justice

Papyrus getting Bravery and Integrity

Undyne getting Kindness and Perseverance

All of them are able to summon the items attributed to the soul traits (yes Idle can summon a gun whenever he wants and yes it’s a horrible idea- who let him do this-)

Another side effect of these tests being that each host can see their soul traits (they can’t see the others only their own)

Sans calls herself a Pb&J Sanswitch much to the chagrin of Patients and Joy of Justice

They’re also able to switch out with their hosts (not this is not DID, I’m not trying to make it an allegory for any disorder) which strengthens certain attacks depending on who’s at the helm

Furcatetale (Rivper):

Not too much lore to tell here, but Rivper himself was the first Sans to receive one of ‘The Keys’, the Integrity Key, given to him by his River Person (due to his Gaster being a massive dick (and the reason Rivper ended up with a half melted Integrity Soul) Riverperson basically adopted Rivper as their own)

The key and internship as a riverperson is why Rivper acts as a multiverse taxi, being able to take anyone to any AU they want (as long as either Rivper or the Passenger have been there before) for 5G,

Their Ferry is also a Gaster blaster (I’ll draw a sketch of it or smthn if y’all r interested)

Helicaltale:

Heck yeah I love this world so much,

Basically helicaltale takes place where after the war, instead of being sealed underground the Monsters were chased away from the safety of MtEbott and instead took refuse in the desert, setting up basically a tent city,

The Humans then placed a curse on them that they can never touch sunlight (I though of this after 47 hrs straight of Minecraft playing so think of how hostile mobs burn in sunlight and that’s basically what happens)

When Sans was 12 (Papyrus being 7) a sickness ran through the camp (it was called ‘The Sunlight Sickness’ cause I thought it sounded cool but now I can think of a better name :/) and during that time the cost of medicines rose 10fold (there’s more lore here but I’ll mention it later in the TW side of this post)

Climatetale:

First things first- basically the polar opposite of Barrierfall where everyone is alive!! Including the human souls

In the AU all the Souls including Frisk and Chara are alive and around the age of 23 (THIS IS FOR JOB/DRIVING REASONS- NOT FOR SHIPPING YOU DEGENERATES. do not use the characters ages as an excuse to ship, both Chara and Frisk are Asexual/Aromantic in this AU, don’t be nasty.)

And all of the Souls work for their Collage newspaper/as reporters, aiming to uncover the truth about the Monsters of Myth.

There was no war in this AU, and similar to Reapertale, a Climatetale monsters are based off ‘things’, Natural Phenomena and Natural Disasters, for Example Sans is based off a Lightning Sprite, Papyrus is based off lighting, Unydne is based off Tsunamis and Alphys is based off Asteroids (cause I think a Dino adjacent character being based off meteors hilarious)

Also, instead of an underground, Mt Ebott erupted Centuries ago (thx Asgore) and its basin cooled and became a massive sinkhole oasis that all of the Monsters live in peacefully,

Frisk and Chara being the first humans they meet in decades

And now onto some of the sadder stuff,

This is bits or lore that are much more confronting, not all my AUs have this,

None of this is too integral so you can stop reading here if the following Trigger Warnings are too upsetting

TW: Suicidal Ideation, Child Abuse/Neglet

Barrierfall:

Despite his vitriol to Ink, Barrier actually blames himself for the loss of his AU,

He was also forced to kill his Papyrus, so survivors guilt and just guilt in general eats at him,

He was the one given the warning by his future self that he didn’t listen to, he was the one that entrusted his AU’s safety to a stranger, he was the one that got himself permanently banned from the Omega-Timeline cutting himself off from the only two other survivors forever,

He says he blames Ink and he’s hunting the creator down for revenge, but honestly, he’s looking for an easy excuse to end up dead,

He knows he can’t beat Ink, he just hopes going into an unwinnable fight would be a step forward in making up for his sins

(Which is stupid cause it’s not his fault but the dumb dumb can’t get it through his thick skull)

Spoketale:

Spoke is cannonicaly dead, while his Papyrus isn’t, Spoke is,

He died when confronting the Player in the Ruins, taking a knife to the eye that killed him near instantly,

Only due to a glitch caused by Players hacking was he able to use a monster candy and restore his HP, leaving him at 10/1HP permanently, but he’s never mentioned it too anyone, not even his papyrus or any of his other friends, too scared that as soon as he acknowledges it, the game codes will realise the glitch and kill him for good,

Never telling anyone about his fears bring mass paranoia making him much more likely to attack when getting defensive

He’s also deathly afraid of reaper sans (pun intended)

Helicaltale:

Remember how I brought up the Sunshine Sickness?? Well it shouldn’t be too bad, their Gaster works in a top level lab in the city with humans to try and find a cure for the curse, making more money then he could ever want

The problem is, he’s always in the city, surely sans is old enough to look after himself and his brother, why would they need a parental figure to take care of them? Phone calls? No, only an email once a month, if lucky

Sure, maybe Gaster doesn’t even know how old his kids are, but it can’t be that bad right??

Papyrus gets sick.

With not enough money for both food and medicine, sans is forced to seek out help from the black market, eventually selling his right eyelight (using it allows the buyer the same teleportation ability sans has) in exchange for the medicine for papyrus,

He’s 12 when he looses his eye, his father never notices, he doesn’t tell anyone, papyrus gets better

This is what inspires Papyrus to join the Royal guard, wanting to protect sans the way he protected him, it’s also what inspires sans to become a magical items trader in the black market (with a strict rule that he doesn’t deal with anyone who hurts kids)

It’s also how he eventually ends up with his own Key, the Bravery Key was given to him in a box along with the orange Glass Eye (this was actually a trade he made with Frisk who needed medicine for their sibling Chara who got sick with Sunshine Sickness as the two had first come to the Underground Tent City)

Anywayssss that’s it for this lore drop

I’m too lazy to actually create in-depth and we’ll thought out lore but I hope this is interesting none the less :D

Also,

WHERE DO YOU ANNONS KEEP COMING FROM??!
