OMG THAT'S MY DAUGHTER THERE

Da boop is back

You all know what that means

You all, send me as many boops as you can. For every one of them, you will have ten times more at the end of the day :3

Amen.

One common Undertale misconception that really frustrates me is when Sans is portrayed with a strong innate sense for RESETs and alternative timelines. Like, that he remembers the RESET timelines better than the other characters who only have occasional feelings of deja vu or even that he can sense when a timeline is RESET.

And that’s, like, almost the opposite of the actual text of the game. While pretty much every main character can have slightly-different dialogue in a Not-True-RESET, especially if the Player had previously befriended them, based on the idea that they have lingering memories/feelings from before the RESET - 

Sans has no real dialogue changes based on this conceit. All of his changes are based around noticing Frisk has different reactions based on their memories of the precious timelines. 

Other characters do also make observations like that about Frisk, like Mettaton and Toriel. But Sans is distinctive because this is the only way his comments change between RESETs and there are a lot of them from him.

Because that is what really frustrates me about this misconception. People mention it as one more thing that makes Sans cool - but the actual truth is far more badass. Sans is one of the people in the Underground who remembers RESETs the least. I think memory-resistance to RESETs is probably tied to Determination. Flowey, the second-most Determined person in the Underground after Frisk, can remember everything perfectly.

Everyone else has some vague feelings and deja vus. And Sans, he’s the least motivated person in the Underground - both in the sense he’s lazy and in the sense he’s fucking depressed.

That probably means he has very little Determination. Thus, he doesn’t remember anything that happens between RESETs.

And yet, he is still the character most aware of them. Because he has the technological know-how to read and analyze timelines.

And because he has the observation and analytical skill to notice a RESET from other people’s reactions and behavior. Whatever it’s Papyrus thinking he recognizes someone or Frisk’s behavior implying that they know something they shouldn’t have. Sans main RESET-related skill is just being able to identify these moments and come to the correct conclusion about them. And with that he manages to be the most aware character in the entire Underground.

Like, the one point where it might seem like Sans remembers something from a previous Timeline is the Fake Spare scene during his boss battle. 

But it’s all pretend. Unlike the previous lines from other characters that I mentioned, this dialogue plays even if the Murder Route is the first time the player touched the game. Sans isn’t remembering anything in this scene. But he makes an educated guess that the Immoral Time God probably tried using their powers for good at first, so they were likely ‘friends’ in a previous timeline. And in most cases, his guess is right on the money - tricking many players into thinking this is another case of the game actually reacting to their past actions.

And as always, Sans can only tell if his lil’ trick worked or not based on the expression of the Player Character.

Arguably, Sans even uses his lack of Determination and cross-RESET memory to his advantage in his boss battle. After all, the whole point of this fight isn’t to kill the Player - Sans understands this is impossible. This is a war of attrition, trying to get the Player so frustrated and annoyed with the unfair fight that they just ragequit or RESET the Timeline. And this war of the Player’s patience versus Sans’ stamina and will is infinitely easier for him when he doesn’t actually perceive all the Player’s previous attempts against him.

Like, for the Player this might be the billion time they go up against him, they’re aware of some of his patterns and tricks now but they’re probably also frustrated and angry and exhausted. Meanwhile, from Sans’ POV, this is still the first time this is happening. He knows it’s not from the Player’s behavior and Frisk’s expression - but he doesn’t feel it like the Player does. 

He doesn’t feel the frustration and repetition of the endless stalemate. So he’s always as fresh as a daisy no matter how rugged the Player is getting.

And that’s part of why Sans is so cool in the first place, like, in general. He’s technically the weakest person in the Underground, lacking in every standard evaluation of power in the setting - no ATK, no DEF, no HP, no DETERMINATION. But he’s darn clever enough to overcome these weaknesses and even use them in ways that make them into strengths, enough to be one of the most dangerous and most aware guys in this whole setting.

Sans can’t remember anything, and that makes him awesome.

Hello lm hamdi ayyad ,I humbly ask for your support by reblogging this post on your account to help save my family. As newcomers to Tumblr and GoFundMe, we are in desperate need of your kindness and support. 🙏🇵🇸🍉😔Please donate 🙏🏼Let's reach the goal as soon as possible

Hello

As I already said, I unfortunately can't donate, even if I'd like to. I will try to help you spreading this around though. I wish you good luck ❤️

Yup.

The most underrated piece of UTDR lore is the fact that cashiers are canonically on a different plane of existence and are therefore invincible

That's so cool! Sorry if I didn't understand well, but does that mean that I can join the adventure too?!! If I can, I'll explode from the pure joy.

So, my YouTube algorithm suggested me a live of a d&d session set in the UTMV???Uh?????

Who is the genius that had the idea? How does it work? Most important of all, will there be other sessions after this one? If yes, then that's a dream come true.

Hey there! That was a combination of me and most of my discord server!

I wanted to start a DnD campaign that most in my server would enjoy, and we all usually bond over the UnderTale MultiVerse, so I created a homebrewed system based on UnderTale so we can play. (Which, if you want to use the system, you are more than welcome to do so! I just ask for credits 😃)

As you watch the sessions, it comes clear you have some pacifist actions, and genocide actions. Each is tied to a soul and a primary color, determining your resource and damage for that action. Each player created their own characters and attacks, making each unique. We all started in the Omega Timeline and they got 'hired' to run genocide/pacifist runs within various AUs. It's a great way to introduce OCs to the world who wants to watch!

There will be many sessions after the previous ones, yes! The story has just begun, and it's setting up the canon lore for UnderReinado, a subsection and an AU created by Iro!Sans.

As for another campaign entirely, we will see! I hope to continue a campaign, but it ultimately depends if people want to join and if the YouTube audience likes it enough.

Thanks for your question and interest! It does mean a lot!

Ehm...

Uhhhh...

Ok, ok, I surrender, please forgive me!

Warning for those who want to read/are reading Soulless!tale, since I've reread everything I've written and saw how poorly written it was I decided to rewrite everything, so current chapters are going through a huge editing. The first prologue already got rewritten but it might be changed again so be aware of this. Also, don't worry, I am currently working on chapter three. School drained me of all the creativity I had, but now that I'm free and I took some rest I will be more active and write more, I promise. Welp, that's all I wanted to say, so goodbye everyone.

Damn it. I'm sorry everyone, but Tumblr won't allow me to go further 😭

Ok, here we go. First of all, oh my god your drawing is amazing, I cannot properly express how thankful I am because of the fact you made it. Shame that isn't their canon look, they look more like a fusion between Frisk and Chara. Second of all, the answers

1) FC has the memories of both Frisk and Chara, and yes, their personality is a mixture of their consciences, but somehow they are neither...? It's difficult to explain, but take as example, idk, a cake. There are many different ingredients, and the cake is a mixture of them, but it's at the same time something brand new. I'm trying to show it in the story in the clearest way possible, but it's difficult because in my vision Chara and Frisk are very different, and they are still soulless so they don't get to show much of their personality anyway. Right now, they are kinda apathetic and very confused on what is going on.

2) yes, the spirit produces everything regarding your trait/magic, and in my vision IT is the culmination of your being, not the soul. Let's say the spirit is you. It obviously changes from monster to monster to human to human, producing this way different kind of magic attacks (for monsters) and traits (for humans)

3) kinda like monsters, yes. It's a nice way of putting it, never actually thought about it before. Anyway, as I said the spirit produces determination (physical) and USUALLY, the soul stores it. HOWEVER, since both the soul and the body were gone their determination (physical) condensed to survive, this way forming a very unstable vessel. The soul usually stabilizes and controls it, but unfortunately that is not an option anymore. So yeah, you're right. Exploding means all the determination they have suddenly lashes out in a burst of energy so intense, it can actually destroy not only the AU itself, but the entire UTMV. Yes they are that determined

4) yes, yes, and yes, their determination (physical) is so condensed it acts like a physical body. Imagine like it changed its molecular composition, while still maintaining its characteristics.

Hope my answers satisfied you, and don't worry about the number of questions. I enjoy answering them. I have a little favor to ask you though, next time could you please ask them with the ask button? Thx.

Hey, I noticed you seem to be interested in the AU I'm working on, and I wanted to 1) thank you 2) tell you that if you have any doubts about it, you can ask and you shall be given a detailed and long answer

Greetings! Yes, I'm quite interested in AUs which involve the Player in some way. I love seeing the idea being explored. I have many questions regarding your AU, Soulless!tale. Since you did say you'd give a long answer. I'll try to limit the amount of questions you'll respond to. (I'll be referring to the Player sometimes as we/us/our)

Does FC have a combination of Frisk's and Chara's personality or is it fully separate? Or is this completely irrelevant as they are soulless? (Flowey has a personality despite being soulless)

Does the spirit produce everything involved with magic? Like magic attacks and food? (I would guess the food is laced with magic as they miraculously heal us/our vessel)

Since FC's body is just condensed determination. Does this mean they are similarly built to monsters? And the reason they can be at risk of exploding (no idea what this means) is because they don't have a soul to stabilize them?

HP and physical health are different from one another, yes? And HP only can get hurt by magic attacks while physical health can only get damaged by physical attacks? What does this mean for FC? As their body is made from magic and can only be damaged by physical attacks. Is their body just so condensed that only physical damage can be dealt?

This is all for now. I have other questions but they aren't as complex/interesting as these one's I gave. I am looking forward to your answers and your AU! It sounds very interesting! Have this ms paint doodle of what I imagine FC looks like!

Bad Sansuary day 7: blanket (feat. Dust)

I am using a little OC of mine for this, since I think she really fits the Bad Sanses (ahem she's crazy ahem). We're in a scenario where she's been with the gang for a while now. There is no romanticism in this, I think it'll mainly be her interacting with the gang following the prompts. It's also a weird mix of canon and fanon. I tried my best, but beware of the cringe >_<

Every character belongs to its respective owner

Ashes belongs to me

Bad Sansuary belongs to @owl-bones

The mission had taken its toll on everyone, and Dust could see it. Even the Boss was a little exhausted, having fought against Dream in a mainly positive AU. They weren't supposed to fight the Star Sanses there, the original mission was to kill a King Papyrus in a Neutral Ending AU to ensure anarchy and increase the negativity in the AU and then go away, but Core Frisk saw them this time and warned the Stars, and Ink caught them off guard as he had found a way to teleport them all into a positive AU where the gang would be at disadvantage. They held their own, managing to somehow not get seriously injured until Nightmare opened a portal and they all fled.

They were all tired, to the point of almost collapsing where they stood, and Nightmare let them go immediately after they got back for once. It was clear he was very tired as well even if he didn't show it, and Dust couldn't really complain about it. While the Boss mostly left them alone, it wasn't wise to stick around him when he was in a bad mood, and after a mission ended up like this he was always in a bad mood. They all kept silent as he went to his office and shut the door, and they could all feel some of the tension release. They headed to their respective rooms in silence, but suddenly Dust felt a wave of dizziness hit him as he felt himself fall with a thud to the floor.

He felt someone coming at his side and helping him up, but he was too out of it to care. He felt himself being brought somewhere and then he was laid down on a soft surface, probably the couch in the living room. He was kinda cold, but he couldn't find the energy to search and get anything to warm for himself. Exhaustion from too much magic usage was nasty.

Some discussion started up, the voices confused and blurred, but eventually they left and he was left alone to try and regain some consciousness. He groaned as things slowly got a little less blurry, but a headache slowly started to build up, and he shut his eyes as he also heard faint whispers. He ignored everything and focused on trying to get a grip on himself instead, somehow slowly managing.

"Soooooo, Dusty, how's it hanging for you buddy?"

His eyes opened again, focusing on a blue figure beside him. Ashes.

She was toying with a knife, twirling it between her fingers, balancing it by the tip on her palm and moving it near her cheek or left eye at random times. Her usual smirk was backed up by a curious look, and she poked at his hand as if trying to figure out what he was doing. He tried to move away from her, but the tiredness pervading his body didn't let him move much.

She smiled as she stopped playing with the knife, instead pointing it at him and making a gesture taking in his whole body.

"Y'know, you really worried the behemoth back there. The big giant probably saw countless monsters fall to their knees like you did only to dust on the spot because of the starvation, back in his AU. He thought you were gonna go down like that too, would you believe it? He's cooking up a feast for you right there in the kitchen. Boy you have no idea how worried he is!"

She raised her hands to the sky, letting out a giggle as she said those words and observed them take effect into the mind of the dust skeleton. Before Dust could say anything, she continued.

"And as for Oil leak... Well, despite not being able to feel worry, he actually got you something, would you believe it? Almost makes one sentimental..."

She stared off into the void, lost in whatever thoughts her contorted mind produced, losing concentration for a moment before snapping back to reality and smiling at him. He shivered.

"I stole it from him the moment he turned his back, but don't tell him, aye? Would ruin the fun. After all, seeing him search for something all around the castle would be quite entertaining."

He narrowed his inexistent eyebrows at her, but before he could talk she kept talking, on a full rambling streak

"Of course, I'm not just here to taunt your bed ridden and fatigue pervaded body. Nah, I'm here to offer you a deal."

She took out a pillow and a blanket from seemingly out of nowhere, waving them in front of him just out of his reach.

"Now, I know that couch isn't exactly the most comfortable place to rest in the castle, and I also know that you tend to get cold when you used too much magic. So, like the good teammate I am, I brought here these things that I totally did not steal from Killer"

She leaned forward, tilting her head and staring him directly in his eyes.

"I'll give you these two little gifts if in exchange you will pass me the things you can't eat from the feast the big guy is preparing you. I doubt you will be able to eat all of that anyway, I'm starving and we don't waste food. Looks like a win-win to me right?~"

Dust stared at her, weighting the request she made. On one hand, it looked innocent enough, but on the other hand nothing was straightforward with Ashes. He stared at her, eyes boring into her soul to find her intentions, but she remained unreadable.

"Aw c'mon, Dusty, I'll even get some bottles of alcohol from the Boss's stash to sweeten up the deal mhm?~"

He spoke up.

"Won't you get caught?"

She laughed at that, looking at him like he was the crazy one.

"Silly, who said I cared?~"

She stared, smile widening a little.

"So, do we have a deal?~"

Dust hesitated, then he shrugged and grabbed the pillow, putting it under his head. Why not. After all he doubted she could do anything drastic with what she asked. Her smile widened at that, and she chuckled.

"Very well~"

She grabbed the blanket and laid it on Dust, covering him completely and even making sure it wouldn't slide. Eventually, she stepped back and patted Dust patronizingly on the head, giggling a little.

"Sleep tightly, Dusty~"

With that, Dust felt the tiredness come back ten times stronger, and as he slowly slipped into the darkness Ashes's smile was the last thing he saw.
