#alphys specializes in engineering

[muontron]

I always liked the idea that they both work at NASA post true pacifist

[ratsoh-writes]

Hello! Remember how I said I was going to redo the lineup? Well I’ve finished page one already!

The plan is for every 1.5 weeks, I’ll post a new page of the skeletons adding their picture and info in a reblog on this same post. When it’s all done, it’ll be added on the pinned post.

Now, of course coming in first are the main 10!

1: Sans Wingdings (undertale)

Our classic lazy punny skeleton, sans is that silly nerd we all adore. He's a personable character, his easy going nature and laid back mannerisms making it easy for him to win over new friends. However getting to know this skeleton beyond surface level is much harder. Behind his playful front is a nervous and cautious monster. Sans doesn't trust easily. Sans is a scholar at heart, and if he finds something interesting enough, you'll see this skeleton shed his lazy bones and really put in some work!

2: Papyrus Wingdings (undertale)

If you ever look up the word optimist in the dictionary, you'll find papyrus' name! Papyrus is a cheerful and friendly guy, always down to help someone out, even strangers! He's a firm believer of you get what you put in, so why spread hate when you can sow kindness! While he isn't innocent, he does often find himself in trouble from being too nice to the wrong person.

3: Star Wingdings (underswap sans)

Star is a living breathing ball of pure ENERGY. No really, man could bounce off the wall for hours and not even break a sweat! Star is a very cheerful personality, if a tad manipulative. He has a rather cute face resulting in often being treated much younger than the grown ass adult he is lol. After a lifetime of this, he figured he might as well take advantage of it. Star is a very intelligent and capable monster and often forgets that his limits aren't shared by others. While he is a great hype man, he can come off as pushy and bossy if one does not set firm boundaries.

4: Honey Snowtuft (underswap papyrus)

Honey is a kind and gentle soul. Not a single mean bone in his body. He's a bit of a shy guy and is quite awkward when one first meets him. However, once he relaxes around someone, honey is a chill and goofy guy with a bit of a mother hen side to him. Honey doesn't make friends easily and can be rather clingy when you get that title. He's also a huge nag to his friends, a product of having one of the most stubborn creatures alive as a brother. oh and he's a total nerd. *fun fact: the different last name is from his aunt Jeanie who raised him*

5: Red Wingdings (underfell sans)

Red is a very prickly guy. He always seems to be on the defensive and will snap quickly at any perceived slight. He's had a rough life and not very many good experiences with strangers to draw from. It takes a very patient person to earn reds trust. Once you do though, you'll find a loyal deeply caring friend. Red with friends is a total goofball. He has a biting sense of humor and loves to tease. He's easily flustered and is fun to get a rise out of too. It's easy to tell when his blustering is just for show.

6: Edge Wingdings (underfell papyrus)

Edge is a natural born leader. He has high expectations for himself and those under him, but he doesn't put others down for their failures. Instead, he brings them up helping them become their best versions- if they're willing to listen of course. Edge is stern and bossy around most but has a huge soft spot for the sweeties in his life. He's defenseless against a good set of puppy eyes. He's extremely protective of the people he considers "his" and is ready to go to war for them. Edge thrives in routine and rules and gets easily annoyed by those who deliberately ignore them.

7: Mal (swapfell sans)

Think of the attitude of someone who came from the streets, now has money but still lives like they're in the street and you have mal. His personality is a strange blend of diva and punk that seems to confuse many. He loves keeping people on their toes though, so this works out perfectly for him. Mal thrives off of drama and if he can't find any, he'll create his own. One of the most dangerous things in the world is a bored mal. He is clever and playful but biting towards those he deems weak. His friendship is not for the thin skinned.

Age: 60

Job: mal owns a little hole in the wall jewelry shop in downtown ebott. He resells used jewelry as well as his own deigns and the creations of other local artists.

8: Cash (swapfell papyrus)

Say hello to chaos incarnate. Sometimes it seems like cash's only purpose in life is to cause trouble lol. He's a very mischievous character as well as creative and deeply curious. A dangerous combination indeed. Cash lives for the laughs in life. He loves bringing smiles to people's faces with his jokes and pranks, but his moral compass is a bit skewed, and he can take things too far if left to his own devices. Cash has a strong desire to be better than what he is now and will cling to people who make him feel like he's doing good. He is a recovering addict and has to take care to say far away from those who would drag him back to that life.

Age: 51

Job: Cash is a pizza delivery guy officially, but he also has a side hustle as a financial advisor. He has no degree, but his clients usually leave happy regardless.

9: Oak Wingdings (horrortale sans)

Despite technically being the same guy as sans, oak couldn't be more different. After a head injury wiped many of his memories, as well as experiencing his au's famine, oak has come out a very changed monster. Where sans is personable and playful, oak is shy and reserved. His memory issues makes many of his old passions difficult to participate in, causing oak to find new loves in life. Oak is kind and gentle but also aloof and nervous. He cant mask his emotions the same way his younger counterpart can anymore making him an open book. On bad days he's very snappy and irritable, angry at how helpless he feels.

Age: 75

Birthday: january 28

Height: 6'2

(living)Family: willow sans papyrus

Best Friend(s): red rust basil

Dislikes: star

Hobbies: baking, animal handling, fishing, nature walks, taking care of his chickens, playing his trombone, naps

Favorite Food: sandwiches

Favorite Flower: echo flowers

Favorite Color: grass green

Special ability: like sans, oak can summon objects to himself but struggles to use his ability as it requires him remembering where he left them. He also has a surprise second ability where he has an aura that naturally attracts animals, making then docile and friendly. Even wild animals.

Job: Oak works in the kitchen of his brother's bakery on his good days. He also supplies a good portion of the eggs that the bakery uses each day.

10: Willow Wingdings (horrortale papyrus)

Experiencing the famine and caring for his deeply injured brother in his old au changed willow from the optimist he used to be. While still a cheerful character, Willow is now cautious where papyrus is bold. And if you cross willow once, you'll never do it again. He doesn't forgive easily. Willow cares deeply and seems to have this need to mother others lol. He's at his happiest when he's helping out someone he loves. He can't stand boredom and has to always be doing something to feel stable. He's rather openly sarcastic and has a surprisingly dry sense of humor.

Age: 59

Job: Willow owns a bakery that specializes in savory breads rolls sandwiches and comes with a soup of the day as well! Its very cozy, and the bakery has even won a few rewards!

[megalommi]

Dr Baggs relies on Dr Alphys for more complex engineering matters, her speciality is definitely more in machines than himself. He tends to specialise in the biological.

[hms-no-fun]

Tell us about Dill and Alexander! I kinda picture them in my head as Kermit and that blue eagle Muppet but gay and gamer/greasy mechanic. Is that where you got the idea? Is sburb's frog fascination gonna play into the story of these boyos?

oh what's that? you want to be the captive audience for a lore dump about my very special guys? completely unprompted and with total investment in everything i might have to say? well well, don't mind if i do!

SO, Dill Croaker and Alexander Falcon are members of a now-defunct group called The Falconers. they are modeled after Star Fox (the team) from Star Fox (the video games). we haven't seen Alex on screen yet, but here's @girlpillz's rendering of Dill for B1 verse 1, where Lenore Lehart shows off her sick bouncy ball skills for Dana Straten to get the attention of Dill.

Alex being a blue falcon, i imagine he looks legally distinct from Falco Lombardi from Star Fox (the video games; the team) albeit less cocky and attitudinous.

there are technical reasons for The Falconers' existence. going into 3.2B, i knew i wanted a secondary supporting cast in the margins capable of handling dirtywork off-screen. for instance, they're decrypting and analyzing Lenore's stolen witch data so the main cast doesn't have to worry about it, leaving us more time to luxuriate in what we're actually here for: feelings.

Star Fox 64 is my favorite game, so when it came time to come up with that supporting cast, the possibilities of a knockoff Star Fox team immediately sold me on the idea (especially since this is the only story where i will ever reasonably be able to get away with such a blatant act of self-indulgence. you wouldn't believe it from looking, but i don't actually do a lot of indulging myself with Godfeels. i try very hard to never throw things in without serious calculation. The Falconers are pretty much the only thing i've introduced that came as an inorganic external mandate of my own selfish making, and even then i've worked very hard to integrate them naturally). as a broken up four-person crew, they mirror the Upsilons-- and so, them helping the Falconers reunite in order to find Alphi and Edie gives these guys some juice. their backstory is a shadow of the Upsilons', and a useful point of comparison as the narrative plugs along. i could've made a girl Star Fox team, but frankly Godfeels is just so women-centered, so female-focused, so tgirl-transfixed that i figured it was about time to throw the boylikers a bone.

The Falconers are balanced as a calculated twist on the Star Fox team. the most immediate difference is that here, Alexander Falcon fills the role of Fox McCloud. he's the charismatic team leader, a little surly (especially these days) but good at his job and deeply committed to the care of his team. Dill Croaker is, obviously, only about five runs through the dryer away from Slippy Toad, and fills the same role. my reason for this is that everyone is mean to Slippy and they're wrong. Slippy is a brilliant engineer and programmer, why do you expect him to be an ace fighter pilot too? that's YOUR job, hotshot! Nintendo themselves have been all over the map with Slippy in terms of characterization, pretty much never getting him quite as right as he felt in 64. so, yeah, Dill is my take on Slippy: a clueless gamer frog who plays with a lot of edgelords but is himself impervious to their venom. he never cusses because he's a good boy, and he respects women.

Dill and Alex have lived together on Crime Planet for a long time. are they fucking? no, i don't believe they are. Dill strikes me as something of an ace king, and anyway i don't think he's Alex's type. mostly they work together in the shop and hang out doing bro stuff. maybe Alex lifts weights while Dill plays shitty space MOBAs. but all this begs the question: who is Alex's type?

as of the B1 solo we've learned a little bit about the other two Falconers. first there is Erol [last name unknown], the oldest member of the crew who's likely analogous to Peppy Hare. which leaves us with Yolo Sionnach. a lot of information can be implied about him from this exchange:

yes, a lot of information indeed. but as much as i would love to enumerate the implications, i must hold my tongue. i mean, i would type it all out, but i can't, because i'm literally using my fingers to hold my tongue in place so that i can't say the spoilers out loud

anyway, i like the muppet comparison. that wasn't what i had in mind at all, but now i'm imagining the Falconers as the puppets Nintendo used to advertise Star Fox Zero and........ ohhhh scope creep you saucy temptress

the Slippy slander is rampant! and that's to say nothing of the ad where muppet versions of Satoru Iwata, Shigeru Miyamoto, and Reggie Fils-Aime slowly transform into Peppy, Fox, and Falco respectively.

i can't say that Sburb/the Universe Engine have much to do with The Falconers' story. they're not godtier, they don't know anything about the UE, they are literally just space mercenary furries. they come from the Lemurian Star System, trained at the Academy on Lemuria, and worked in the Lemurian Sky Corps until starting their own independent outfit as contractors (which i imagine is a fairly common career path in a region racked by interplanetary war and rampant espionage). age-wise, they're in their mid 30s.

thank you for this wonderful question. no one ever asks about the other guys, and i am always dying to talk about the other guys.

ANOTHER UPDATE THINGY I GUESS

I GOT CHARACTER IDEAS AND HOLY SHIT ARE THEY PERFECT

[cr33pz-mck3nna]

"They're so much like Gaster!"

".. you never met their mother."

For many years in the underground there was rumors/stories from around the time when peace was still between human and monster that Gaster had two assistants, the prodigy genius Alphys and the strongest(and smartest) warrior in the entire underground simply known as Justice, Gaster was in charge of basically running the underground's "government" but before that he was merely Asgore's most trusted scientist but his two students were almost as glorious as him in their feats, Alphys went on to become Gaster's successor in his first line of business and became the head scientist of the underground while Justice went on to become General of the royal army and founder/first grand master of the royal guard and gained a reputation for being the strongest(and most terrifying) in all the underground and for many centuries they were, after Asgore, the strongest in the underground until the day that Sans and Papyrus were born or rather Cosmo and Dusky were born.

The stories of those times always tell that Alphys may have been the successor of the great Gaster but that was simply because Justice refused! In fact Justice was by far the more extraordinary of the two, for what Alphys had compared to Justice in knowledge Justice was by far more creative and came up with many ingenious ideas that when successfully executed far surpassed Alphys accomplishments. Justice was the greatest inventor, engineer and architect the underground had ever seen but she was also the most mysterious person anyone could ever meet.

They say she randomly appeared in the underground not long before they were sealed away.. The underground was the place to be after all, the entrance was lined with a grand bazaar and all of it was quite ordinary in daylight until the night when the "sky" would light with millions of hanging lanterns, just past would be quaint villages and beyond would be acres and acres of unpopulated mythical "wilderness" beyond comprehension. It was any other normal day when the girl walked in the entrance, walking through the bazaar and stopping to help others on her journey, she stayed for a short while in a snowy village before leaving once more and she walked and walked and walked before coming to the very end of the underground and collapsing before the royal estate, the home of the royal army, the asylum of knowledge for the scientists and the royal palace.

Some say it was the two children of the royal family who found her out there while playing and others say it was King Asgore himself while privately speaking with Gaster but regardless she was brought in by the royal family and considered to be no different than the princess(female Chara) in circumstance though she didn't wish to be called princess but felt lady was perfectly suitable, and then it's said that the mysterious girl had all but abandoned royalty and instead sought to become student of Gaster and she did so successfully as well as her only acquaintance(at the time) in the entire underground outside of the royal estate, Alphys.

It's said when the prince and princess died she was at the front of the charge into the war, she wound up loosing an arm and nearly her life defending the underground and protecting the king, for the first five years sealed away she was not permitted to leave the royal estate even once, though many knew that was Gaster's decision, for personal reasons as well as needing to monitor her new arm.

After this she earned the title "Lady Justice" and so Justice became her name, she was the greatest knight that ever existed but to some who knew she was also very special in the eyes of Gaster, to him she was everything. And for many centuries after that he strived to discover how life could even be and eventually he would in the form of his, their, sons. Skeletons similar to Gaster but designed like a natural child, with characteristics of both a father and a mother, but he never did get to show her their greatest creation. For a tragedy struck, during a time of peace in the underground, where the great Gaster, Alphys and Justice reunited to continue their research together when suddenly as if the lock holding back hell snapped the barrier suddenly opened but not in the way it should've, the seal was like a portal now and the mass of energy flowing from it sent most all the way to the royal estate, it's said that the tragedy that occurred that day only stopped when a red and a green bolt of energy shot out from the general area of the asylum of knowledge. This was the day Cosmo and Dusky were born and the day Gaster and Justice vanished.

Toriel figured it was their doing, the colors fit them and all, so she went to find them immediately in Gaster's lab, but she never could've expected what she found.

"I figure Toriel will be the one on the receiving end of this note, and if so I deeply apologize for this burden I must place on you. You were...a wonderful mother Toriel...so I beg of you my Queen to be one once more. I know our departure is sudden but..oh Toriel you were her dearest confidant you of all people should understand how she pined to see the sun again, to return to her home, to live her human life, and I as I prepared for her a gift in hopes to make up for what she lost I found an opportunity to return her to everything she loved, and so I decided to not tell her about them. I planned to break the seal and send her through but if you are getting this letter instead of hearing this from me it means my hunch was correct and she made me go with her. She has seen my world for all this time, I wish to experience hers now. When you next see us Justice will be as she was but I will have changed, any sign I am a monster will be covered and simply by everything besides my appearance you will easily mistake me for being human as that is the role I now play. I chose to not tell her of their existence simply because I know her too well, if she knew she would've stayed. I love her too much to let her do that. To our sons, when I return do not worry, your mother will be close behind as she always has been for long ago she embraced the monster and she now lives forever, her one separation from her humanity. The elder son shall be named Sans and the younger Papyrus, Sans you shall hold to high expectations while you may give Papyrus an easy life, but make great things of our sons. Goodbye my friend."

Toriel almost immediately disregarded most of his requests, bringing home the two boys and declaring the new princes, Cosmo and Dusky Dreemurr, Cosmo would be raised by Toriel in the asylum of knowledge and would become the smartest monster in the underground but disavow the life of a scientist due to his distaste of his true father and would become an astrologist and astronomer instead, he always did have an obsession with the surface, while Dusky would be raised by Asgore in the barracks of the royal guard, trained since birth to essentially surpass his mother. Asgore and Toriel were always fighting after the death of their children and it's quite obvious it was sadly taken out on the skeleton boys. It wouldn't be until the savior Liz arrived and the Dreemurr family had three children once more that a group of allies would emerge and they would meet their illustrious leader Vengix who seems...oddly familiar.

A random MASSIVE lore dump of insane information that took me like three hours and I'm now on the floor finishing this...yeah I need to go to bed, enjoy. -Creepz

[otherswap]

I get that people say that like “oh sans is a deep character he is hiding his depression and stuff” bla bla bla like would this count in the au? Or not would sans just be like “oh shit I turned you into a freak… wanna hear some comedy?” Like he doesn’t even care that he turned someone into an amalgamation he is just tired and did an “oopsie sowie I turn you into a melting ice pudy ” … btw what would the characters look like in a style of Help_tale? Would flower stay the same? Or just get a make over

(That’s all idk if it’s too many questions into one sentence;-;)

He is pretty much the same person in OTHERSWAP, he just doesn't fulfill the judge role. He's still aware of timeline shenanigans (not the same as "remembering" resets) which is one of the big reasons as to why he thinks and acts the way he does.

We're still working out exactly how the Amalgamates would come to be or what Sans' job actually entails, as he specializes in theoretical physics and not mechanical engineering like Alphys. It's not that he wouldn't care about others, he's just really good at maintaining a poker face, almost to the point of callousness.

I'm not interested in that AU or designing characters for it.

General Character Lore Part 4:

?????

If you asked the average monster what the biggest technical advancement monsterkind made while still underground was, most would tell you it was the core. A massive feat of engineering prowess, the core loomed over Hotlands and provided energy to all areas of the underground. There was not a single life it didn't touch, combining ambient magic and geo-thermal energy in a massive collider and energy storage device. If the core went down today, it would still contain enough energy to keep the lights on for everyone for 90 days - or nearly a year straight with clever rolling blackouts and other energy reduction techniques.

Even so, Wingding could not take all the credit for it. It took Sans' theory, and years of tinkering on smaller scale models with Alphys for the final design to be born - he was just the unlucky bastard forced to attend interviews and ceremonies for it. Alphys begged him for a pass and Sans.... well Sans was Sans - try to drag him somewhere he doesn't feel like being and the asshole just *poofs* away.

While the most well known project of his career, the most funded and the best received, the core was not his favorite project. He would smile for the reporters and tell them what an honor it was to work with the Royal Science Commission - how proud he was to be on the esteemed team - all day if he had to. No one really needed to know about his favorite, nor did anyone really care too much about it anyways.

From concept to the first launch, Wingding Gaster had spent the majority of his life working on the old UnderNet. No, not the glorified message board - the original UnderNet framework, including the servers that host the damn thing. if only he had been more assertive about making them pick a different name It served as a framework for all of his future projects: performing calculations for his work, running models of his projects, simulating outcomes of his experiments, and storing the massive amounts of data his work created. His being the operative word in the description above. WD Gaster has never been one to share his work, especially not a piece that was so important. Even so, there are things he is willing to trade for, and Alphys' specialties are one of them.

And so the deal was struck, he provided his theories and designs for a device that could fold material and magic, store the target in a sub pocket in the electro-magic field generated by the core, then allow it to be retrieved with the push of a button. In exchange, Alphys would have a dedicated server for number crunching and whatever else she wanted to run on his framework, along with credit for the release. even now, his pride insists that was his first mistake

That was not too special - yes it is convenient and yes when Alphys released it the device was wildly popular but that was a mere shadow of his real goal.

Everything made of magic has an expiration date. Unless more is added at regular intervals, any construct made of magic will disappear eventually as the magic loses stability and returns to a resting state with the ambient magic around it. Scans of the barrier indicated that no human mage had ever returned to add magic - content as they were to lock monsterkind underground and throw away the key. Even with the power derived from their seven souls it was clear the barrier would fall on its own eventually.

Yes, all calculations showed it was due to fall in approx. 99999 years.

Monsterkind had been trapped roughly 1,500 years ago, so it would only be another 98499 years until they would be free! Long lived as monsters are, longer lived as boss monster are, it was becoming clearer by the day that they would be extinct by the time the barrier fell.

Since the day the prince fell down, the day Asgore declared humanity to be their enemy, the day things became kill or be killed, monsterkind has done worse than stagnate. Content as they were to sublime themselves anyone with eyes could tell this could not continue.

Even so, he and his brothers would see the sun. They would not be turned to meaningless dust by this place, they would not disappear into nothing, they would not WOULD NOT fall here. He had promised it foolishly but he meant it - WD Gaster would find a way for them to make it. Not just until after the barrier fell either, no they would do better than survive to see the surface.

The king's plan of going to war with humanity didn't work for his parents and with the way things were going it was clear it wouldn't work the second time either. Sure they could probably get 6 more souls in less than 98499 years, they already had one, but with the way things were looking by the time the seventh soul was collected monsterkind would be a shell of the proud people they once were. Even if they lived that long, Asgore's philosophy would get the rest killed within weeks.

But what if they didn't have to follow the king's lead? What if they weren't relying on collecting human souls to break the barrier? What if there was a way for them, not the future generations of monsterkind but this generation to wait it out? If only there was a way to press pause on the underground until it was time for the barrier to fall...

Like most of his brilliant ideas, it began simply.

Make a simulacrum that could comfortably contain the minds and souls of every monster in the underground. It must contain the minds and souls, but because of the core's limitations their physical bodies need to be separated and sustained or the loss would kill any monster who tried to leave. He would control the parameters of the simulation, offering lots of variability in things to do and places to see to prevent... well insanity. He would also establish the rules to ensure no one would harm each other - not that it would do much good to try once he turns off pain reception and chemically inhibits their anger.

Yes, this idea was becoming very, very interesting.

It took years of work, years of lying to the king for funding for "a better way to keep human souls in stasis", years of lying to Sans on what the project was and what he needed to have built, years of... not going home as often as he promised BUT it would all be worth it. He'd do whatever his brothers asked of him, once he fixed things, once they were safe, once it was under his control.

The theory was proven with the storage of inanimate objects - he'd done all manner of tests; they went in and returned as if no time had passed at all for them. The simulation was built, the device for uploading souls and consciousness alike was functioning as expected (unfortunately, the Aaron who graciously volunteered could not be released back to the underground - his sacrifice in the name of science would be remembered), and the stage was set.

All that was left was to try it for himself, then he could solve everything for everyone - he is the royal scientist after all, what is his purpose, if not to find solutions?

[quixoticalpostsager]

Mettaton wouldn’t play, but would absolutely ask Alphys to create a mod where he’s the announcer and maybe a mod where he’s like- the sentry and dispenser, maybe the teleporters

Like the sentry would be EX, the Dispenser would be Box form, and the teleporters would be like- legs I guess

Oh and Mann Vs Machine, the Robots would be reskinned to look vaguely like Mettaton

Undyne would be a Demo Main, but would often switch to Pyro whenever Alphys is in the game to kill any spies she might be having trouble with

Papyrus would be either a soldier or a medic, depending on if there’s already a medic or soldier, if they already have both he becomes a scout or heavy

Sans is a Turtle engineer most of the time but occasionally gets into locations you’d never expect, he knows of spots that engineer trolls never even thought were possible

Asgore is a Heavy Main because he likes giving people sandwiches

Asriel/flowey is a spy main because he thinks they’re cool, he’s not very good at it

Chara is a spy main and is the bane of everyone’s existence

Doggo would be a fantastic sniper, as long as people are moving, meaning he’s ironically terrible at sniping people who are standing still

Frisk mains being a friendly but is incredibly good at playing all the classes

Toriel refuses to play unless everyone is wearing pyrovision goggles

Burgerpants is a scout main and gets incredibly salty when he dies but then just sad because he used to be really good but he’s been getting more and more rusty ever since he got a job

As for the Deltarune exclusive characters

Kris is Soldier

Susie is Demo

Ralsei is Medic

Noelle is Pyro, but after snowgrave is weirdly obsessed with spycicle spy

Berdly is Spy

Queen is announcer and or engineer

Lancer is scout

King is Heavy

Rouxls is engineer but is terrible at positioning his buildings

Sweets is demo

Cap’n is Scout

K_K is Pyro, but switches to medic for his brothers

Spamton is also an announcer candidate, but otherwise he somehow manages to play every game as the Civilian class or a sniper that exclusively uses the smg and also uses the worst fucking aim bot ever, he also hangs around trade servers and sells duped stock items and glitched stuff, he also has the worst mic ever and blasts earrape ads and bullshit

Jevil exclusively plays on Halloween and runs his own servers where it’s perma scream fortress where he’s in control of merasmus

Swatch and the swatchlings also run servers and routinely ban Spamton bots, they also add special plugins or mods that introduce custom weapons very routinely to the point that their servers are almost completely unrecognisable from the base game with all the new features and balance changes unique to their servers

Seam also runs a server, but it’s exclusively a trade/hang out server, he used to be one of the top players but stopped playing after jevil went scream fortress crazy because of the updates stopping

And that’s all the ones I can think of so far, I think I got a bit carried away, feel free to build on these or dispute them

Alphys would 100% be a engineer main

[danstupidaushit]

Decadent Society MODERN

So uh, this one i'll have to rewrite, as despite still having the original info stored in my computer, i feel like it would be a lot better if i tried to re-explain some points about the characters (specially since a lot of info that i have saved is in fact outdated, lol)

So, what was the concept of this "modern" version of Decadent Society? I'm not... sure? Like, at first when i was making this new version, i was actually doing it so i could give the AU a fresh coat of paint, i wasn't going to change the main storyline or anything, i just wanted to make the characters look less like a swapfell ripoff, but after a while i guess i gave the AU the concept that, after the monsters got locked up on the underground, Asgore began to start forcing everyone to get prepared for a possible second war he wanted to have with the humans, so a lot of places and monsters were now dedicated to training and getting themselves prepared for when a second war broke out I did not remember this being kinda similar to negativetale, but oh well

So yeah, the AU was meant now to give more focus on the whole war thing Asgore wanted to do, giving some emphasis on him being actually serious this time and shit. I never developed the concept of the AU too much, mostly because i think i was trying to change it for the sake of being different? I wasn't doing it because i had a good idea in mind that sounded better than the old version, i was doing it because i strongly believed i HAD to

So, uh onto all the characters i have developed

Frisk: no info about them that i can remember, so i guess we can say they are pretty much the same

Flowey: So apparently he's somewhat more similar to the original flowey, but due to being so oppressed by the world around him, he eventually grew way too afraid to keep on going on trying to be threatening, as he now only attacks others when he's afraid of them, and constantly tries to hide himself out.

Napstablook: His concept was that instead of being depressed, he's so lonely that he became somewhat insane, or at least a little bit crazy. Simple as that

Toriel: I don't remember her fully, but i believe the idea for her is that she became much more about surviving rather than keeping on going with the motherly personality that she has, sure she will help Frisk, but they will never be her main priority.

Sans: He's depressed and lonely, and has a small mania of trying to call Papyrus several times a day, mostly because of not being able to see him in person anymore after Paps was drafted. None of his calls get answered.

Papyrus: He got drafted, and now undergoes through heavy training in order to be a perfect soldier for when the second war eventually breaks out. He's a lot more quiet and serious than his original undertale counterpart, and always takes his duty over his morals, despite knowing that some of the stuff he's forced to do is wrong.

Undyne: Leader of the army, nothing much to say about her except that she's fierce, remorseless and definitely doesn't question any single one of Asgore's orders, them being shady or not.

Alphys: I guess her concept was that she's a tired scientist forced to produce weapons for Asgore's army, tho her old design indicates that she also had a knack for engineering robots and cyborg like appendages.

Mettaton: I genuinely don't remember what he was about, but i guess he was more focused on the whole television thing? I do remember his old box design had a concept where he only speaks via the programs that he was managed to show on his screen, so he basically had to talk via sentence mixing lol

Asgore: Big bad guy, desperately wants to start a war with humans again, mostly out of spite than anything else.

Asriel and Chara: idk what their concepts were about, i think Asriel was like, a neglected kid because Asgore is an asshole and Toriel was too busy, and Chara was like, his kinda weird friend. Idk how they were supposed to die or something

Muffet: Oh wow, i actually made more characters aside from the main cast. So, the concept for Muffet is that she's a famous movie star and was a main adversary for Mettaton's business. Yeah that was it, the concept was cool but i never got too deep on it lol

Burgerpants: He's a drug dealer, he had to start selling shady shit because he got laid off from his job at Mettaton's hotel for being too incompetent.

Nice Cream Guy: weird emo guy, very anxious and scared about stuff. Apparently there was a concept about him having an abusing girlfriend? Which explained why he had to wear a collar, they were kinky, but the woman was kinda of a bitch to her or something. Idk lmao

Temmie: Also some kind of dealer, tho instead of Burgerpants that just sold straight up drugs, Temmie just sells knockoff stuff, while also giving out temmie flakes.

Monster kid: I remember he was kinda cute, he was actually gonna be a companion for Frisk during the majority of the story, not only through waterfall. He was like, a heavily bullied kid that loved doing art, which was funny since he don't got arms, so he actually learned to draw using his mouth.

And i think that was it? I don't actually have much information i remember about, since i erased a lot of the stuff i've made for the au because i wanted the modern version "forgotten" or something, idk lmao But there you go, this is why you see a lot of people for whatever reason drawing decadent society sans with a blue eye or with a hoodie with camo patterns, it's because of this cancelled version of the AU best way to take this info i provided is to look back at that shitty drawing i made with the main cast + some side characters

ChristmAUs 2020 is here!

It has been a year since the previous ChristmAUs, and this year, it comes bigger than ever before! Featuring a staggering 224 characters (not counting most snowmen), this has been one of the biggest collaborative projects I’ve ever done! 

However, I of course didn’t do this picture alone, so let us move into giving people their credits.

(Adding it as an addendum, do not repost the picture by itself.)

Now, the credits are arranged in “submissioner / AU” instead of the usual merely crediting the artist or AU. Here we go!

Credits below the cut.

Amended Occurrence

Alright, so wheeldecide gave me some interesting choices here... In order, the roles are as follows.

Asgore is Toriel Mad Dummy is Napstablook Asriel is Sans Undyne is Papyrus Chara is Undyne Toriel is Mad Dummy Napstablook is Alphys Papyrus is Mettaton Sans is Asgore Alphys is Asriel Mettaton is Chara

Let's talk a bit about these, shall we?

Asgore is a wise man who now lives in the Ruins. He's looked up to by all the monsters there, because he is everyone's personal trainer. He will protect Frisk during their time in the Ruins, but they are afraid that they might not realize that the only way to survive in this world... is to FIGHT.

Asriel has seen better days. Ever since his father and mother left him, he's without purpose. So he found Undyne, who is willing to help him train to get into the Royal Guard. He meets Frisk and doesn't seize them, but rather he's friendly with them, to Undyne's dismay. He is also the one who fights you at the end of Snowdin.

Undyne never joined the Royal Guard, due to a human now being the figurehead of the faction. She still did train however, and she's even one of Asgore's students. Seeing Asriel harboring a human... it's frustraiting to her. But hey, that just means that she'll have one extra person to take through her obstacle course she built for Asriel. And as one final test, she'll have Asriel fighting the human.

Chara fell into the Underground and was brought before the king. He thought it best that the human's immense powers were put to good use and set them in position as the leader of the Royal Guard. Now that another human has entered the Underground, and they're one SOUL away from freedom... Let's just say that things might get a bit messy.

Toriel is Chara's personal trainer and guardian. She watches over them and trains with them. Although she always tries to stress that talking it out is way better than getting violent. Seeing Frisk in the Underground makes Toriel want for Chara to back down. But they've come to far to give up now.

Napstablook is the Royal Scientist. Now specialized in audio engineering. Although they don't have much to do since the king is too lazy to give them anything to do.

Papyrus dreamed of becoming popular and getting recognition. With his brother taking the throne, he sought a more traditional way of getting famous. Through the media. He shines bright as a hero protecting the Underground against any and all threats. But at the final showdown with the human. He takes a more 'villainous' approach.

Sans is king, whether he wants to or not. He spared the life of Chara hoping that they could quickly and efficiently take the next SOUL. To his dismay... Frisk still arrives to their throne room.

Mettaon and Alphys go hand in hand. You meet them where you would normally meet Flowey. Alphys doesn't own the position of Royal Scientist, so she doesn't have the funds to build Mettaon a gigantic fabulous robot body. But anything is better than his ghost from. Mettaton will accompany Frisk through their journey and will offer his skills to good use. And at the beginning of each area, Alphys will test your capabilities as a team, and even give Mettaon a little upgrade.

Just a concept, an idea. Most likely this will never be a thing.

[quantumfeat72]

everyone is autistic

a compilation of undertale headcanons

Papyrus:

puzzles are a special interest

has a Very Specific morning routine, including that oatmeal with the dinosaur eggs, feeding the rock, and recalibrating all of his puzzles

echolalia (NYEH-HEH-HEH)

hyper-empathy 

does a lot of sensory-seeking stuff (a la running around in the snow wearing a thin costume) because snowdin is really really quiet and he needs to balance it out

Chara:

simultaneously an absolute motormouth and mostly nonverbal; they use ASL to infodump at asriel and narrator-powers to infodump at frisk

doesn’t really like/understand hugs but doesn’t mind them, actively reminds themself to initiate hugs with asriel when he’s upset because they know he likes them

knitting is a happy stim

masks without really meaning to because they’ve internalized the idea that anything abnormal is rude

Frisk:

hates eye contact

gets sensory overload from sound really easily and wears earplugs whenever they have to go to a city

mostly verbal but chara teaches them sign, both for occasional nonverbal spells and when they can’t hear people because of their earplugs

sleeps with 5,000 blankets

always wears a chewy necklace because otherwise they’d chew on their clothes and they used to get in a lot of trouble for that before they fell

wardrobe is multicolored variations on one (1) outfit

good at masking when they need to (mainly for ambassador work), but it exhausts them

hates the texture of any pasta. ramen is better dry

their favorite stim is rubbing soft fabric

Asriel:

touch-starved baby boy

asks chara to lay on him like 3 times a week.  at first they were really scared they’d hurt him but later they’d notice him acting antsy and just flop down on top of him

clothing tags are the bane of his existence

used to get awful sensory overload from showers until he started turning the lights off and leaving a flashlight on the counter instead.

copies chara’s stims sometimes

sees someone fidgeting with something and is overcome by a desire to fidget with That Thing In Particular

(toriel and asgore get their kids matching stim toys so he can copy chara without touching their things)

Alphys:

special interests include engineering and anime

will infodump for 500 years about mew mew kissy cutie in particular

the way her sprite in game sort of bounces when she first meets you?  anxious stim

the way she talks about “keeping secrets” and not letting people know the “real her?”  masking

the way she canonically wears the same kind of labcoat every day?? as i write this is becoming more of a theory than a headcanon

ramen is samefood

hand-flaps to stim but Only when she’s Completely Alone.  got really embarrassed the first time undyne saw her do it but undyne thought it was awesome and encourages her to do it more often

highkey thinks nobody would take her seriously anymore if she wasn’t masking all the damn time

lowkey thinks nobody takes her seriously anyway

“U-undyne I need to t-tell you something........ I think I might be autistic” “Alphys everyone knows you’re autistic and we love you”

Undyne:

diagnosed when she was 3

decided masking was dumb when she was 5 and resolved to be Wholly and Aggressively Herself from then on

martial arts are a special interest and target practice is a kind of stim

scripts important encounters and practices in the mirror

when they get to the surface she goes to an autism $peaks office and tells everyone to leave because “I’m about to commit arson.”

like papyrus, she has a lot of sensory-seeking tendencies and the two of them like to go to loud places and yell together

tried to take frisk somewhere loud once, quickly noticed they weren’t okay, and Did Not Rest until she found somewhere quiet for them to calm down

yells because she loves her friends

Asgore:

can taste even the slightest difference in food and is on a lifelong quest to replicate toriel’s pie recipes

masks most of the time for politics reasons, but his two beautiful autistic children kinda showed him he didn’t need to

started masking again after his beautiful children died because he thinks it’ll help him be “strong” and do what his kingdom “needs him to” (it won’t)

gardening is a special interest

when they get to the surface he makes autism $peaks illegal in the monster kingdom

Toriel:

special interests include baking, puns, and education

pie is samefood

has a routine in the ruins she hasn’t broken from in 100 years

not great at telling when other people aren’t okay, and tends to assume she’s reading too much into things even if she’s not.  generally relies on people telling her when something’s wrong (which chara doesn’t ever)

her favorite stim is a kid sleeping on top of her

Muffet:

has three samefood recipes she’s made so many times she’s absolutely perfected them

black and white thinking (either the human is evil and hates spiders or they’re fine and we’ll let them through)

loves the aesthetic of tea but hates actual tea (”muffet pours you a cup of spiders”)

Napstablook

gets sensory overload even as a ghost and does Not want to know what sort of sensory experience having a body involves

doesn’t usually mask but thinks they’re Supposed To and apologizes for existing a lot

stims by listening to the same music for hours

dissociates

Mettaton:

the sound of his own robotic voice is his favorite stim

[faelune-home]

FFXIV Write 2020 #23: Shuffle

(A/N: Kind of a follow on from what I implied in my last ffxivwrite prompt from yesterday, but now fleshed into an actual fic, since that throwaway line gave me the spark to write this in the first place. Focuses more in on a broad allusions to miqo!Fu’s other jobs, with a bigger segment actually featuring some Astro focus.

Player wise, I’m trying to level them all for the fun to try them all, and for the Amaro mount. Character wise, miqo!Fu definitely only specialises in Bard and Dancer and a little bit Red Mage, but she’s tried everything. Some parts click and other parts less so. She can heal in a pinch if you need it at least.

Prompt def focuses more on the astro side of things with card shuffling, but I’d like to think of it like ‘shuffling through her jobs’ as well. Mostly focused on Alphi’s perspective of my WoL tbh.

I guess as a final comment, just one part of the fic to mention; Alphi being more uncertain about the Dark Knight job is kind of a mix of the wildness of the job itself and how miqo!Fu takes to it, and still some early characterisation of his own mixed in. It’s something that would balance out as miqo!Fufu gets more skilled with the job and less feral as she evens out with Fray, as well as a closer growing friendship.

Set mid Heavensward before the Aery, no spoilers mentioned. Being pre-Dancer unlock level and story wise is also why it stars with saying the favours the bow only.

Though she favoured the bow, Fufu often liked to dabble in other trades. When questioned about it, she simply said the experience was good for her, expanding her repertoire of available skills should she ever need them.

Even after the hurried exodus to Ishgard, she yet made trips outside the city, returning with reassurances that she was fine, that she’d been careful around the cities, even if she hadn’t even entered them herself. Though it hardly placated him, Alphinaud couldn’t help but still be curious at her studies, even if she treated them like a simple pastime.

The weapons and tools she accrued in her gifted room at the manor for a start -- enchanted crooks and bejeweled staves, sharpened katanas and rusty knives, a serrated axes and magnificent broad swords as tall as himself that seemed to pulse with a heavy energy that made him dare not touch them.

He had once almost tripped over a pile of tomes left in the corner of the room, initially mistaken for library books until he opened one and found the familiar arcane symbols within.

“You’re studying arcanima?” he had asked her after the discovery.

To Alphinaud’s disappointment, she’d grimaced and replied, “A little, but don’t ask for any demonstrations. I’ve been at this for weeks and I’ve only the other day figured out how to summon a basic beginner’s Emerald ‘Buncle.”

He bit back the offer to teach, not wishing to push the miqo’te if she already struggled with the simple elements of the craft.

Nevertheless, she put in the effort to learn and practise her trades all the same. Some few times, the boy was actually able to see her work; one such case was their return to the manor after the trial by combat and her visit to the Archbishop. She’d offered to heal his wounds, and for all she derided herself as a novice, he was well within minutes, scratches stitched together, and the ache in his sides from the grip of the chains faded to nothing.

Another, more terrifying case that still plagued his mind was her rescue of him from a wild bear while traversing the frozen highlands toward the old mill. Where the bear seemed to materialise out of nowhere, Fufu had appeared even quicker, one of those broadswords in hand to gut the bear and cleave it almost in two. The dark spark in her eyes, the way she bared her teeth at the animal, hovering protectively over her friend.

Though he would never say he wasn’t grateful for the safeguard that day, to see her so unlike herself - the woman normally so cheerful and friendly suddenly so hostile and twisted, even aimed at another - he almost would prefer her more harmless surprises such as her sneaking in the shadows to frighten him over seeing that again.

Still, Alphinaud wouldn’t ever tell the girl that. Nor would he wish her to cease in her training. She had the right of it that the skills would be a boon to her someday, plus there was a certain feeling of delight at seeing her so enamoured with a new craft.

He got acquainted with another of her fresh hobbies during a period of downtime in Ishgard. A surprisingly tepid day for the frosted city, he’d been left idly waiting in the Pillars for word from either Cid or Tataru -- for either the Manacutters to be ready for Fufu and Estinien’s perilous journey into the Aery (One that he wished to join them on, but had ruefully accepted their advice that he remain behind), or word from Ul’dah and the next step in finding the Sultana and restoring order to the government.

He almost had nothing else to do but wander and wait, too roused at the events still to come to consider sitting still. His roaming feet took him aimlessly through the city, past the markets, the hoplon, and hurriedly away from the Tribunal, until he came to a stop by the airship landing. A fresh wind blew over the polished stone, bringing a chill back into the upper reaches. At least with Ironworks engineers buzzing around the landing, anyone could alert him to an update from Cid with a quick linkpearl call. Better to remain there for convenience.

Yet just as the thought crossed his mind, a hand shot in front of his face, a fan of cards spread in the grip, the backs facing him. He stepped back suddenly, spooked at the gesture, only to bump into someone behind him, who giggled, “Pick a card, any card!”

Reassured at the familiar voice, he turned, Fufu herself adjusted the card fan to press it flat against her chest, hiding the fronts. She gave him a broad smile then held it out to him again.

“What’s this for then?” Alphinaud asked, looking carefully at the cards then at the woman’s attire -- a white robe and tan long boots, and some decorative gold frames perched on her nose. 

Her ears flicked playfully. “A little something I’ve been practising in my spare time.” He spied the card holder hanging from her belt, and the edges of a globe attached to her back. The design of the cards had already seemed passingly familiar, and now he was a bit more certain.

“Is this astrology? I’m aware the Ishgardians use it to monitor the Dravanians, but this bears a resemblance to the Sharlayan variety.” While not a field he was interested in, the study of the stars and use of magicks in healing was a speciality of his home, he could still recognise it in passing. Perhaps the rumours he’d heard of a Sharlayan dignitary being in the city and telling tales of ‘odd star magic’ had some weight to them. Fufu’s grin widened.

“Maybe it is, maybe it’s not. Pick one!” she insisted, bouncing impatiently on the spot. Finally deciding to amuse his friend’s whimsy, he plucked one from the centre of the deck. A tree.

“Well then, what does this mean?” he inquired, showing her the card while she shuffled the remains. Slotting them back into her holder and taking it back, Fufu stared intently at the image, humming loudly as she thought.

“I can foresee,” she droned, voice dipping deeply in exaggeration, making the boy chuckle, “fire and lightning, and wild winds! But! I also see us all safe back here in Ishgard.” She nodded sagely, a serious look on her face, until she grinned, breaking the effect.

“Is that truly what the stars say?” Alphinaud asked with a mirthful tone, clearly entertained at her theatrics. The miqo’te blinked, pocketing the card into her holster and shielding her eyes to look at the clouded skies, answering, “I’m not actually sure, I can’t see the stars.”

Then with a sheepish chuckle, she added, “And I’ll confess the whole star reading thing hasn’t sunk in much. I don’t get it. But I’m good with the magics! I don’t need to worry about the fortune telling stuff. Not now at least.” She planted her hands on her hips, confidence radiating. Despite her positivity, Alphinaud couldn’t help but sink, thoughts returning to what was yet to come.

“Would I be a poor player if I asked if that was to reassure me? Given the upcoming mission?” He was proud, he’d admit, but she was his friend, and their extended travels through the Dravanian wilds had seen them grow closer. He liked to think at least. He was less afraid of openly admitting to worrying for her.

Her tail flicked. “Maybe a little. But I know you only want us both to be safe.” She turned back to him and ruffled his hair, his protests weak at the act. It was already a habit of hers, dare he think he was adjusting to it. Yet before he could voice his objections to the act, he stopped, seeing her stare intently at him. Then she smiled.

Her smile was warm and comforting, all traces of teasing or exaggerations gone. “We’ll be fine, I promise. No need to look to the stars to say that.”

He hesitated at first. Then a nod. “Of course. I trust you completely.”

Help Wanted

Alphys was very excited about her new royal position. (The one she’d gained by lying and cheating and-) She was absolutely ecstatic to have attained her goal, even if her means had been just a bit questionable.

It was fine, right? People lied all the time. Everyone did it. Bending the truth a little to get what she wanted was nothing compared to what some people would have done. (Liar, liar, liar. Everything you have is stolen from the more deserving, if they knew they would all hate you-)

So it was fine. She was fine. No moral crises were occurring here, thank you.

Anyway.

Alphys was very excited about her new position, but with it having gone unfilled so long, she was absolutely drowning in work. While she was able to complete engineering related requests relatively easily, she was having difficulty with the ones related to magical science, especially the more theoretical ones.

She’d always found that her genius focused most easily on the practical disciplines, the ones she could visualize in her mind’s eye. She had a unique advantage in that area, in that she was easily able to imagine the schematics in her mind, rotating and adjusting them as her will dictated.

Things that relied purely on theoretical equations and ideas, though, tended to give her difficulty. She often ended up tripping over things with them, and it was hurting her performance.

So Alphys decided to hire an assistant. Someone knowledgeable in quantum physics, preferably. 

--

Sans wouldn’t admit it, but he was regretting moving out of his parents’ house. He’d had all sorts of reasons for it, of course. Wanting more alone time, wanting to escape his family’s nagging, wanting to get away from his brother… (He loved Papyrus, really, he did, but his sibling was overbearing at the best of times)

His biggest reason, though, was that he wanted to prove he could make it on his own. He’d always had poor health, as a consequence of his miniscule HP, and while his family had never outright said it, he could tell that they saw him as a bit of a burden.

It was perfectly reasonable, really. He was always in and out of doctor’s offices and hospitals, trying to either heal his latest minor injury or “fix” him all together. His parents had been forced to spend large sums of money just to keep him alive, and he knew it wore on them, even if they did their best to hide it.

So he’d started working odd jobs when he was fourteen, and had amassed enough savings to get his own place by his seventeenth birthday. Not too shabby, if he did say so himself.

His apartment kinda sucked, though. It was tiny and dingy and had bedbugs by the dozen. (As a skeleton, they thankfully couldn’t hurt him) So while he was proud of being able to provide for himself, he couldn’t help but wish he’d waited until he could afford a better place. Plus, Hotland friggin’ sucked. If it weren’t for his ability to conveniently bypass the (awful, terrible, horrible) vent system, he’d have come running back home with his tail between his legs within the space of a week.

...He wasn’t really certain, whether he was happy about that or not. At least the heat didn’t bother him, since he was bereft of any internal organs that might react poorly to it. As far as climate adaptability went, he was pretty lucky to be a skeleton. 

So he wasn’t really doing much with his life, in the end. Not accomplishing any lofty goals or fulfilling his personal aspirations. He was just kind of… Existing. In limbo. He had a couple jobs to pay the rent, of course, but he’d pretty much just taken what positions were available, without much regard for his own personal interests. (Which he did actually have, contrary to common belief)

When he saw the ad for a personal assistant to the new royal scientist, he found himself intrigued. He doubted he’d get the position even if he did apply, of course, since there would be so many other applicants, but the ad said that she was looking for people who were good with quantum physics especially, and, well…

Quantum physics had been Sans’ special interest for a full decade, now. The equations had always fascinated him, along with the things they could accomplish. He’d read just about every textbook and journal he’d been able to get his hands on, and written a few things himself. (Nothing published, of course. He’d just wanted to better understand the material he was working with)

If the royal scientist was looking for a quantum physicist, he might actually have half a chance at this. According to the flyer, prospective applicants could take an aptitude test a week from then. Couldn’t hurt to make the attempt, right?

Sans spent the week reviewing the scattered information he’d been able to gather on the discipline from trips to the dump and various libraries throughout the underground. He also did his best to brush up on the math involved as well. He really hoped that this test would be entirely focused on theoretical physics, because Sans couldn’t engineer his way out of a wet paper bag with a gun to his head.

When the time came, his nervousness betrayed his excitement. He really wanted this. He could barely focus on anything the whole morning, to the point where he ended up locking his keys inside his house by accident on the way out. (Thank the angel for teleportation, right?)

As Sans entered the testing venue, he spared a glance for the other hopefuls. Some looked excited, a few looked like they’d been forced to attend, but most just looked pants-wettingly terrified. Jerry was there too, for some reason. He hated that guy.

“You look a lot calmer than most of the monsters here, hon. Feeling sure of yourself?” The clerk asked him politely. Sans shook his head, saying

“nah. i’m just better at hiding it,”

“Well, I’m sure you’ll do fine, dear,” They said, smiling at him. He returned it, and went to sit down until it was time for the testing to start, feeling more jittery than Paps on caffeine.

He hoped the clerk was right.

--

Alphys was swiftly becoming aware of a problem with her plan. With each test she reviewed, it became more and more glaringly obvious that this probably wasn’t going to work as well as she’d hoped, because, apparently, there was not a single freaking monster down here who could do basic math.

Everyone had their addition and subtraction down pat, of course, the education system underground wasn’t that bad, but algebra and calculus? Complex geometry?

She might actually have to bring this up with Asgore. She’d realized, of course, that education in the underground was a bit lacking, but she’d never quite put together the equation of how few monsters were able to teach those subjects and how even fewer wanted to learn them. Not to mention the difficulty in accessing textbooks and scientific papers from the surface, which was just about the only way to get new information without having to rediscover the wheel for every little thing.

She was lucky that the royal scientist was a celebrity position, or it was possible that no one would have even applied. As it was, about a hundred monsters took the test, and she was beginning to think that if she wanted an assistant, she’d have to train them herself.

The point of this was to give her less work, not more! She had no time to play teacher for whatever kiss-up showed a bit of promise. Regardless, she was desperate, so she put the applications that showed at least a willingness to learn aside.

It was with this mindset that she opened the test from “comic sans serif font”. The lack of capitalization (on their name, of all things!) had her pessimistic from the start. She’d excuse the use of font, since she knew full well that if she was named after one, she’d never shut up about it either, but not capitalizing your own name? What possible reason could there be for something like that?

As she actually looked at what they’d answered on each question, though, she felt hope bloom in her chest. This person… actually really knew their stuff. She’d put some pretty difficult questions at various points throughout the application, and they’d answered each one thoroughly and creatively.

She put the test aside, suspecting that she had her winner.

--

Sans didn’t really expect to hear back from the royal scientist. A lot of people had applied, after all, so he doubted they could really afford the expense of sending a letter to every tester. Paper was pretty pricey underground, after all.

So when he got a letter in the mail with a return address of “the lab” he got a little excited. It didn’t mean he’d been selected, of course. It was entirely possible they’d decided to send letters to everyone who managed to clear some margin, or something.

...Or he’d done so badly they’d felt the need to ban him from ever doing science or math again, but that seemed just a bit unlikely. On that note, he sat on the edge of his mattress and opened the letter.

...

...Sans had been accepted for the position of assistant to the royal scientist, and was to go to the lab at his earliest convenience if he was still interested. 

He wasn’t freaking out. He totally wasn’t. His hands were repeatedly running over the letter as if to ascertain its veracity and his grin was so wide it threatened to exit his skull entirely and run away to join the circus, but he wasn’t freaking out.

Sans grabbed his nicest outfit, which was coincidentally also the one he’d worn to testing, (a blue jacket over a miraculously unstained white shirt, and basketball shorts, let no one call him a fashionista) and set out.

--

Given that the monster Alphys had sent the letter to lived about twenty minutes from the lab, and the letter had to actually get to them before they could read it and come to accept the position, she was startled to hear a knock on the door only half an hour after the post had left.

She opened it to discover… a skeleton in a hoodie and basketball shorts, looking like they’d just won the lottery. She wasn’t sure what she’d expected from someone named after comic sans, really. Assuming that this was the applicant, of course, which she was slightly doubtful over, since, again, not enough time had elapsed since she’d sent the letter for them to arrive unless they could run at the speed of one of the cars from the surface.

“A-Are you Comic?” they visibly winced.

“yeah, but i go by sans. i find my first name’s a bit too…” they winked “comical,” Alphys narrowed her eyes. Puns? Absolutely unacceptable.

“Well, Comic, why don’t you come in?” Their eyes widened.

“please just call me sans, i’m begging you, i hate my first name so much,”

“I-If you p-promise not to make any p-puns,” 

“i think i’d dust on the spot,” Alphys rolled her eyes.

“This is going to be just w-wonderful, I can tell,”

Part two here!

[doctorporkchop02]

Haha your jokeing right? Also can we just get one small sneak peak at Alphys's design?

HahahahaNo... I'm not joking. Spoliers but Chara will literally be fighting Alphys on top of the High Speed "Dry Ice Express" itself, specially the very front part of the train... you know, where the engine is located. Not kidding.

Anywho, you wanted a little sneak peek of Alphys right? Well here you go...

Enjoy. ;)
