Idk if I can properly put into words why I love cocoapowder so much but I’ll try
It’s really all about Chara’s arc in Undertale Red & Yellow and how by being forced to walk around and interact with Frisk and Clover, they slowly develop a friendship with the two by simply just talking and being themself
Chara did not have a very high opinion of themself, and Chara also isn’t really a fan of stopping to smell the roses. They get upset if Frisk walks off the normal path, and they bring themself down whenever they have the chance to. They feel guilty about what they did to Asriel, and completely unempathetic in the geno run
After failing to free monster kind, Chara is submissive to the whims of Frisk’s decisions and simply just encourages progression no matter the route being taken, because they don’t believe they have the right to agency anymore (until the end of the geno run)
And then you add Clover to the mix. Clover who’s experienced a lot of hurt in their past and chooses to spread love and kindness and affection instead. Clover’s sense of justice comes from meeting aggression with friendship and trying to turn people around to reveal the best sides of themselves. Clover does this with Chara, and they don’t initially get along very well. They’re stuck with each other, however, and they bond a little over having shared experiences in the Underground and comparing them to Frisk’s journey
It’s through the True Pacifist route that Chara realizes something: Clover is better than them. They both sacrificed their souls to free all monsters, but one of them actually proved “useful.” Clover believes in a righteous sense of justice that insists on redemption rather than karma, and Clover is willing to give Frisk another chance even after multiple geno runs. Clover also isn’t afraid to snap back against a bad decision, which is why they stop you at the end of every geno
Clover is insufferably different from Chara, and yet over the course of Frisk’s journey they become friends. Not only that, but Clover feels free to openly flirt with Chara and they don’t bat an eye
And Chara starts to believe it when Clover says they deserve to love themself, and that they deserve to forgive themself, and that no matter what mistakes they’ve made in the past, they’re a good person
I have no doubt in my mind that at the end of the True Pacifist route, Clover wishes Chara could come back too, because they definitely believe Chara deserves to live. It’s so interesting to place Clover and Asriel across from each other at the flower bed. They both knew Chara, one in life and one in death, and yet they both knew two different Charas
Asriel talks about how Chara wasn’t the best person and that he idolized them growing up, but he outright expresses that Chara was a bad friend and that Frisk is their perfect counterpart. Clover refutes this and says that Chara is good, and has always had good intentions. Clover never idolized Chara but saw them for who they were, flaws and all, and admired them anyway
Chara and Clover have deep conversations that Chara never could have with Asriel, because Asriel was just a silly kid who didn’t understand the gravity of their plan. Chara hates themself for that plan, because they realized they shouldn’t have put that burden on a child. What Chara doesn’t realize is they were a child too, one with a foolish dream of saving the world through a noble and just sacrifice
And they see Clover, who did the same thing. A child who sacrificed their existence for a greater cause. Clover didn’t deserve that. But Chara respects their decision. Chara is happy when they come back at the end, and their smile speaks volumes
There’s this deeper connection between Chara and Clover that just makes them perfect for each other. Their opposites-attract dynamic met with their shared experiences, admiration for each other, and witty banter they share throughout. I love Cocoapowder 💕

One thing I’ve been thinking a lot about behind the scenes is what Gaster’s recovery would be like and who would play a role in it. Refinedtale is, as the name suggests, always being refined and changed as I develop it. This comic and what happens in it are subject to change.. but I’d like to think some of Gaster’s first movements and reactions to things were triggered by seeing Sans upset. In this comic, as was stated by Sans, its been over a month since Gaster was pulled out of the void.. and thus far he’s just been a husk. No talking, no movements, just.. stillness. And no one can figure out why he’s not getting better. This most likely isn’t the first time Sans has cried in front of Gaster since he’s been back, but it could be the first time a memory was triggered because of it.
In this timeline Sans and Papyrus are under a lot of stress, so much so that Toriel would swing by almost daily to check in on them and bring them food. And one time she brought them butterscotch pie to eat. She gave Gaster a slice too.. well, she more of posed him like a doll to hold the pie and fork. She tried to show him how to eat, but Gaster just.. didn’t respond.
..”He’s just not there yet”.. Sans couldn’t finish that sentence before trailing off. Those first four words, “he’s just not there.” It hurt to acknowledge. Toriel tried to save it and reminded him that its “yet”, he’s just not there, yet.. But Sans’ emotional state was very fragile up to this point. He was on the edge of breaking down due to all the stress he and Papyrus were under. And that was it, that phrase pushed him just a little bit further.. and he started crying.
Seeing Sans cry and hearing him say that he was scared triggered something within Gaster. Parental instinct perhaps? It moved him, metaphorically and literally. He recalled a time when he was more whole, a time when he could speak. He was ill back then wasn’t he? He needed to eat, But he really didn’t want to.. so then why did he?.. Because it would make that child feel better if he did.. He didn’t understand how he was moving or why he felt a sense of urgency.. but none the less he managed to move his weak arm and coordinate his movements enough to take just one bite.. And his soul felt a bit warmer after. Seeing Sans just light up after he took that bite made him feel like he did the right thing.. even if he didn’t really remember Sans or understand what he just did..
Again, this comic is subject to change due to my AU constantly being refined and developed.. but for now, this is one of the first times Gaster made it clear that he’s still alive, and he’s still in there somewhere.. He just needs a little more time..
(They’re both talking in wingdings.. although I guess Sans’s future narration is in English?) Here is part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, and part 5. :}
Hhhhuhhnngnnnng..I’m never doing a huge project like ever AGAIN!! UHG that took forever. I’m so friggin tired and hungry man, I haven’t moved since I woke up because I was determined to get this out today. Anyway it feels like a weight is being lifted off my chest having this thing done. I’m glad I can return to drawing whatever I want without this project looming over my head.
Also, in case anyone is wondering why it seems like Papyrus is drooling all over the place, see this post, face row 6 for your explanation. :]
Also these poor babies. Why do I do this you might ask? I wish I had an answer man, reeeeeally wish I did. I don’t have much else to say, I cant really think of anything. I guess I could point out that Papyrus is still scratched up because he used up all his energy on healing Sans and Gaster really doesn’t have the magic to spare..
Anyway I’ll stop rambling, I hope you all enjoyed this roller coaster ride of emotions! Please exit the carriage to the left, watch your head and have a nice day!
post 4.2 furina finds out neuvillette said she was 'prone to hysterics' and is like 'hahaha.... yeah, yeah i was wasn't i? it must have been awful, having to deal with me for all those centuries...'
and you know neuvillette is standing there wracked with guilt like
(it starts to storm and furina thinks its because he's remembering how annoying and frustrating it was working with her, and meanwhile neuvillette is three seconds away from throwing himself on the ground and begging for forgiveness)
Here’s a folder with ALL of Fix a Beast comics in a semi-coherent chronological order hahaha
I’ll be adding future comics in there too!!!
Hey, can you do another to kill a kingdom headcanon please? 🥺 I love Lira and Elian sm and also my birthday is coming up soon ( August 20th)
Happy belated birthday! I’m sorry I couldn’t find the time to write this yesterday! I hope you had a wonderful day, and I hope you like this little headcanon.

no matter how many times she transformed, legs were a difficult thing to get used to
they were useful, of course
but oh, seven oceans - were they an inconvenience sometimes
specially if she’s trying to sneak up on the prince
specially if she’s trying to be silent in a ship full of good-hearted pirates who are all fast asleep
wood creaked underneath her wet toes, and she hesitated before entering the captain’s cabin
before her very human eyes adjusted to the darkness, Lira was pinned to the wall
but that was Elian’s familiar smell
and his voice as he grunted-
“It’s me,” she whispered
Elian halted, and something dropped to the floor
a knife?
Lira smiled. “Hello, you.”
“Fuck,” Elian whisper-shouted, stepping back. “Lira?”
moonlight streamed in, and Lira took in his unmade bed, his shirt lying on the floor, his boots scattered somewhere
he had awoken
“I’m sorry,” she laughed softly. “I wasn’t planning on frightening you-”
he took her cheeks, looked into her eyes, and tipped her head back
next thing she knew, he was kissing her
full of love
one of his hands wrapping around her waist, bunching up the dress she’d put on after climbing out of the sea
Elian pulled back slightly, watching her with a dazed smile. “I thought you were a thief planning to gut me.”
“Just a regular thief.”
“Ah, how reassuring.”
Lira smiled, wrapping her arms around his waist. “I’ve missed you, Captain. And I wanted to wish you a happy birthday.”
she left a gentle kiss on his jawline, as Elian smiled. “It’s not until tomorrow.”
“I know,” Lira said. “But I wanted to be the first to congratulate you.”
“By sneaking up on me?”
“Yes, of course.”
Elian laughed softly. “My darling seashell, I love you, but please refrain from giving me a heart attack in the middle of the night. I could have hurt you.”
“If I’d known you’d throw a knife at me, I would’ve been more careful,” she teased
“I’m sorry,” he said, a little sheepish, lips touching her cheek
“Hey,” Lira said. “Can we go back to you saying how much you missed me?”
“I said no such thing.”
“You don’t need to, either,” Lira said back, a little snarky. “You haven’t let me go since I came in.”
Elian sighed softly, knowing she had a point, and there was no use teasing her when she could see right through him
he touched her cheek, kissed her lips once. “And I don’t intend to, either.”
(they’re both talking in wingdings. :}) Here’s part one, two and three. Two parts back to back boii!!! And hey! This one only took me two days! not too shabby in my opinion. This was supposed to be posted earlier today but my computer froze to a full stop and then I had errands to run.. but its here now!
Like the last part I tried to be mindful on Sans’s behavior and how he would respond to this. In this comic Sans feels absolutely horrible, but he loves his family to death and seeing Gaster’s face like that just freaked him out. He struggles to get up in the 8th panel, but knows he needs to because something is wrong. In panel 15 Sans is looking at Gaster with this look of fear and concern, but only because Gaster is crying.. he never sees him cry..
Originally, in the third to last panel, Sans was supposed to say something to the effect of, “b-but.. he needs me.. if he’s upset, i gotta see him..” But when I saw what it looked like before the dialogue, I realized it would’ve hit so much harder without it.
Gaster sees his son looking this.. terrified and upset.. Like, what is he doing?? Saying he cant see Papyrus and crap! Sure he’s right and Sans shouldn’t be moving.. but He’s already seen Papyrus like that and it felt terrible not being able to do anything about it. He isn’t about to let that happen with his other son. Sans is crying and wants to see Papyrus, oh he cant walk? Don’t matter if he’s like 13-15, he gonna be carried up those stairs whether he likes it or not.
And in case anyone is wondering about Sans’s multicolored dialogue.. just because Sans is awake, doesn’t mean he’s okay.
Is there a word that’s a mix between angry and sad
The siren took one look at Odysseus and said ‘girl dad’ and no matter how wrong she was, I respect it.
