#undertale core corruption

[howlsofbloodhounds]

Was just thinking about how, while in the Good Ending in the Omega Timeline with Color and the Epic Sanses + Beta, a big factor they’ll probably have to keep in mind is that, when Killer is in Stage 2, he’d probably eventually want to attempt going back to Nightmare.

It probably starts off slow at first, with 2 casually mentioning things Nightmare used to do or say—probably even little ticks he did when he thought Killer wasn’t looking. Repeating whatever lessons Nightmare taught him, almost fondly. Wondering out loud if Color thinks Nightmare has replaced him yet. Maybe Killer even starts to feel the need to re-teach himself the lessons, in case he forgot and Nightmare comes for him again.

There was probably many times when Color’s woken up to Killer being gone, maybe he leaves a note maybe his stuff is packed maybe none of it is besides his weapons, but either way Killer is gone. And Color has to shove down his panic attack, the flashbacks and vivid imagery of what Nightmare could do (and has done) to Killer if he gets his hands on him again, call up the Stars and the Epic Sanses.

The man hunts for Killer could probably be a simple as a few hours—because Killer caught himself stuck in indecision and rumination, torn between the two authorities of Color and Nightmare and feeling physically sick at the idea of being disloyal ( physically sick at how disloyal he’s already been) and sick that he feels that way at all— to weeks. Because Killer certainly knows how to not be found and be fast if he doesn’t want to be, and if he cares not to be.

Ultimately I think just about every manhunt would end with one of the Stars or Epic Sanses finding Killer standing around in some AU, lost and confused in his own mind. Everything’s all jumbled up for him and he thinks Nightmare could fix him.

And Color probably has to approach him not as Color, his friend, but as Color—his owner, someone who can make things make sense again, in Killer’s mind —until Killer is safely back in the Omega Timeline and able to recognize who Color is and what he is to Killer.

I can already picture the stir itd cause in the residents of the Omega Timeline as well. No one wants something like Killer in the hands of something like Nightmare again, and no one wants Nightmare’s killer in their homes and around their loved ones. And now they’re probably thinking Killer’s slipped the leash and running back to his old one now, to slaughter his way through millions again.

There’d definitely be a lot of people who want Killer locked up—either in jail or in an asylum getting unwanted help by people who likely don’t wanna actually help and just want revenge (is what Killer thinks, not that he’d try and stop them), if not executed.

And once the relief of having finally brought Killer back home safe wears off, Color will likely have a massive crash and panic attack that Delta and Epic will have to help him with because Killer isn’t in any state of mind to help him at that moment, either. Because Color’s eventually going to have to pull himself together again in order to help Killer pull himself together—remind Killer of the lessons again, but not the Chara lessons or the Nightmare lessons, the therapy lessons.

And then once that’s settled, Color and Killer have drained themselves out and are now cuddled up together sleeping soundly, with Epic taking to making sure they have enough food and water while Delta sets reminders to schedule actual therapy sessions when they’re ready and up for it.

Then the two of them will join them for a cuddling sesh because they’re all grateful to be back together again, that Nightmare hadn’t taken Killer back, and Beta needs the comfort. (And so do they.) Cross will insist on standing guard outside the door but eventually crawls into the bed with them too.

Apothecary Core Design

Here is a design for Core Frisk in the Apothecary AU! Along with a design for Core's mother. Enjoy!

Core Frisk was made by DokuDoki

Core is a child 8 years of age, they are a short child standing at a height of 3 feet 4 inches, born within the walls of the X-Empire, they sometimes are working along side all the other consorts within the walls of the X-Empire. Though as a child they don't work as much as everyone else as they are still a child. They got a good amount of their looks from their mother, but they also got a good bit of their looks from their father as well. Their eyes and mouth are as dark as charcoal, with no pupils or teeth visible for others to perceive.

The human standing next to Core is their mother Lotus. Lotus is a human 29 years of age. She stands at a height of 5 feet 6 inches. She wears a second set of robs around her waist over top of her usual clothing, to keep any mess off of them for when she's cooking.

Their father is a monster that works in the military. So they aren't always within the Empire walls. Mostly being out in the field fighting and protecting the Empire.

Core is a human monster hybrid. I'm still deciding on what monster to make Core a hybrid of, I'm thinking maybe a ghost, skeleton, or a ghoul of some kind. I'm thinking of probably leaning more towards a ghost of ghoul human hybrid.

Core is a child that was born within the X-Empire walls. Right now Core is just a consort that works with washing laundry. Mostly on laundry duty until they reaches 10 years of age. That's when they'll start training to work along side their mother as a cook.

Core is one of the consorts that likes to talk to Nightmare. Being one of the first to basically become Nightmare's first friend within the X-Empire walls. While Core doesn't really understand much of the stuff that Nightmare tells them, they try to seem interested and understand all the different stuff about poison and medicine making.

Since Core is a child others some times forget that they're around. So some times they'll unknowingly hear or learn about things they aren't meant to know. Like hearing about gossip and rumors that children aren't meant to hear.

Because of this Core is always telling their mother and Nightmare whatever they've learned. Sometimes they become emotional depending on what they've learned. Other times they don't really understand what they've learned but it causes Lotus some worry so she tries her best to get Core to not repeat whatever it is they've heard. The only exception being Nightmare as the apothecary doesn't really talk much about what they've heard. Nightmare also helps to calm Core down if they're ever emotional about what they've learned and Lotus isn't around.

[dewdropple]

I've been thinking a lot about Look Outside recently, and I've seen a few posts floating around about how the theme of the game is kindness and generosity rewarding the player. And while yes, typically if you are kind and open the door for strangers or if you don't kill the roaches or if you sacrifice yourself instead of rat baby, you'll get more friends and more people joining your party. However, I don't think that's a core theme of the game. I think it's about what makes a monster a monster.

To start, the game isn't like Undertale in that how kind you are directly affects the ending. The game truly doesn't care how you play, whether you play more paranoid or if you go out of your way to make every friend you can find. There is no social consequences for killing people other than they won't be around in the future. No one cares, and especially the game itself doesn't care.

But asking the player what makes a monster? That's everywhere.

Early on, the game does a very good job with coupling the idea that looking outside = corrupted/transformed = non-human = dangerous. Your first instict when you see someone who has been infected or mutated is to fight, even if early on it's fighting back or risk being killed yourself. But then as the game progesses, it shows you more and more examples of people who have been exposed to the outside but who still have their wits. They don't look human, but they sure have their humanity still.

How many monsters did Sam (and the player) steamroll through because he thought they were hostile? How many people still had their minds but didn't have a mouth to tell Sam to stop?

What makes a monster? One who looks like one? Or one who acts like one?

The game wrestles with Sam's humanity. At one point, he talks to himself in the mirror, that what he's doing is wrong. That he's breaking and entering people's apartments to steal literally everything he can and then killing them in their own homes. Is he a monster himself? He doesn't look like one, he's not infected, and he had to do those things, right? Even as the player talks Sam through justifing Sam's actions, it helps plant the seed that being a monster is more than looks.

I do think it's fitting, then, that the arguably best ending doesn't care how many people you saved or spared, or how ruthless you were in the apatment building. If you successfully complete the ritual, you lose your humanity and become the biggest monster of all. The only change comes from choosing to become a monster in the mind as well. A miniature version of the Visitor that either saves everyone with his monstrous size and appearance, or slowly chokes the world out with his near-infinite reach.

(Not to mention the failed ritual ending where he becomes corrupted while staring at himself in the mirror, or the other endings where he directly introduces someone or something to the Visitor and causes the end of the world that way.)

Sam becomes a monster either way, and his actions help solidify the notion that they're more important than appearance.

There could be more said about how the majority, if not all, of the chatacters are bipoc and what it means to be a monster for them, that due to no choice of their own, society deems them dangerous because of how they look. But it's really late and I need to get to bed.

Something could also be said about covid and a pandemic and how society treats disabled people, but that's for another time. There's just so many layers to this game.

What do the colors Pink and Yellow mean In Deltarune?

So I can't be the only one who has noticed a pattern with these colors? Specifically in relation to things that are 'corrupted' or odd.

You first see it with spamtons glasses. Its the only color (save his red blush marks) on the guy. It's good character design, and its funny when you find out he's wearing a bad swatch cosplay, so of course he got the colors wrong. I also didn't think about it at the time, but neo also has bits of yellow and pink. (on his chest and as apart of his wing) Sure the main color is a deeper shade of pinkish purple, but that certain shade of pink. #FCAEC8 or Flamingo Pink. Is always next to the yellow in his design.

The only other enigma that has these two colors is FRIEND, that image we saw in Queens basement that flashed for a split second, we see its face again during Ralsei's explanation of what dark then dark actually means in chapter 3. Then we see it again, this time as ADDS for the chapter 3 secret boss.

A game we can only play with a pink and yellow controller.

It's interesting that in game its described as either an ugly shade of pink, or an ugly combo of colors to have together.

Yellow is a well known color in the undertale universe. It's the color of Justice, It's heart effect acts like a gun or Shooter mode. (spamtons Big shot) but there is no known mode for pink because its not apart of the seven core soul colors. In fact its not even close to the same saturated colors. It's shade is way off.

So this means FRIEND is what? Mike? Or what was on the other side of the phone? if yellow and pink are colors of corruption, it explains why Spamton has them now and not when he was a BIG SHOT success. Right?

Maybe, I thought the same before I played chapter 4. Because that chapter hints that Pink could actually have a different meaning completely.

Because I lied, Spamton and FRIEND ain't the only characters with this color combo.

But what the heck could Asgore and Spamton have in common. (yes divorce jokes aside) Simple. Their both stuck in place, unable to move on because they keep looking back to a happier 'better' time. Both feel wronged and seek Justice in a sense, Spamton wanting freedom and revenge for being abandoned, Asgore wanting to prove what he did in the past was right and for the best for everyone, and if he can just prove that things will go back to how they were. We can even join this cycle by going through with getting the shadow mantle, which in term leads to Ramb, the guy who opened the way to the secret boss, being LOST instead of just turned to stone at the end of the chapter. At his encouragement of course, to play something Kris would have loved to play during that 'better time' in their life.

Pink isn't corruption, its Nostalgia Not bad in itself, but when connected to yellow, Justice becomes entitlement for a better time, at the detriment of everyone else.

FRIEND itself might not have these literal goals, but seems to almost feed off these feels of Toxic Nostalgia.

Othertale Asks

(This is not all the asks, just the ones I thought were important, funny, or relevant. More could possibly be added if I find any.)

OTHERTALE:

English isn’t youmna’s first language, she’s from Egypt.

Is Othertale Youmna’s story, or did someone else write it?

Is Othertale a comic that’s already out, or is it just going to be videos?

Caring Short is an extra scene.

When are you going to update Othertale?

Othertale is an alternate timeline, NOT an alternate universe.

Othertale is an AT, not an AU. There is no 7th soul. Sans is forgotten but not in Gaster’s position. And what funeral?

What did pre-core Gaster look like?

Refs for Othertale Chara & Frisk?

What kind of personality does othertale Frisk have?

Frisk doesn’t exist anymore.

Frisk was supposed to have a great role even though they no longer exist like Sans doesn’t.

Does Flowey exist, if the six souls don’t?

Who created Flowey in this timeline, Gaster or Alphys?

Chara falling down and Asriel’s creation into Flowey still happened.

Othertale monsters can’t break the barrier, but they still have hope.

Does Papyrus know he has a brother, does anyone know about Sans?

Where did Youmna get the idea for Othertale?

Is there a swap AU to othertale?

Is Othertale an animation? Comic?

Differences in Othertale vs Undertale bc of Sans & the souls erasure.

Othertale focuses on everyone.

After the Hack means season 2.

Who’s stronger: Othertale or Undertale Toriel, Asgore, and Flowey? Othertale MTT is stronger than Undertale MTT because he got his body earlier, Alphys main research was to turn monster souls into weapons since the human souls don’t exist, meaning MTT is more of a weapon than a famous star.

Corrupted!Chara.

Amalgamates don’t exist in Othertale.

Do Gaster, Chara, and Frisk exist?

Are there royal guards in Othertale?

Alphyne is canon, Soriel is not, Chara and Asriel happen as usual though youmna cannot say what happened after Chara and Asriel died.

Are Asgore and Toriel still married?

Is it okay to create an alternative version of Othertale?:

Dreemurr’s designs never changed from Undertale.

COLOR & THE SOULS:

Are the souls like MPD/DID for Color?

Color is stronger than Killer and Murder, Error will cause him problems.

Color’s views on canon NM according to rahafwabas: he hurt a lot of people, innocent people and aus, he hurt Killer the most, nightmare doesn’t deserve mercy.

Color is sure Killer will choose a new name someday, but thinks he just needs time. (Also canonically calls him buddy. :] )

Both Gaster and Sans are forgotten.

Are there hints in the Underground that Sans existed?

Like a mysterious sock?

Anyone can do what they want with Color.

Sans only has control over the game from the Void, which is how Undyne got out.

Did he die?

Color gets his name. (+ possible old peek of his soul.)

Color doesn’t like the idea of being shipped with someone he doesn’t know.

Bro doesn’t like the joke.

Explosive flames when he sneezes.

Color, Geno, & Seraphim as Pokemon evolution.

Flames take on longer colors when he has a characteristic trait.

Color’s okay with being a 2nd favorite.

Heya Color!

Is Gaster with you, C? (First use of C as a nickname)

C still loves ketchup.

Color prefers the Patience trait/soul because he cannot control his feelings and Patience calms him down.

Color is sad and looks sad all the time because Papyrus doesn’t remember him.

After absorbing the souls, does Sans feel different? He regrets what he did, and wishes he hadn’t, he misses the good old days at Grillby’s. He can still eat and sleep, but there is no time in the Void, no food, but hunger cues seem to have been taken away as well. He can’t really do anything but sleep anymore. Color has the ability to heal just about anything, except for the dead.

Does Color get headaches when looking at himself too long in the mirror?

Can I get a hug from Color!Sans?

Color!Sans 2C.

Why didn’t Sans get Gaster out? Why isn’t Gaster out yet?

UNDYNE & PAPYRUS:

How did she get the ability to teleport?

Undyne & Papyrus are siblings, Sans in the Void.

Undyne is Paps’ sister, is more responsible, and did not join the royal guard.

In the Royal Guard armor in trailer, didn’t join the Royal Guard.

Undyne would not be stronger than Color, though she has a portion of his powers.

Who is the big sibling?

How did Undyne get Determination?

Undyne can use Gaster Blasters.

Undyne’s “f” heart locket.

Does Papyrus have a necklace that says “best”?

Drawing of Undyne saying thank you.

Undyne drawing.

Are After the Hack Undyne’s stats the same, weaker than, or stronger than Undyne the Undying’s?

After the Hack Undyne is 3x stronger than Undyne the Undying.

Undyne has an important role in Othertale.

Undyne 1A.

Othertale Papyrus is weaker than Undertale Papyrus, he doesn’t have royal guard training and never aspired to join. Sage is nice and kind, but he works as a math teacher as he likes problem solving and children.

Since Papyrus doesn’t want to join the Royal Guard, what does he do? Does he have a job?

Undyne is youmna’s fav character.

Undyne reminds of the Underfell AU itself.

ATH Undyne looks like Underfell Undyne’s design.

How old are Undyne and Papyrus?

Undyne & Papyrus animation short sneak peek.

Undyne still likes anime and manga. She spends every weekend at home with Papyrus, waiting for Alphys to come over with a new anime.

Are the Gaster Blasters a special attack, or just a slightly more powerful regular attack?

1C Undyne.

Othertale meets Undertale Undyne. Ivory thinks lifting rocks is irresponsible and would never do that, is highly protective of Papyrus and describes him as the only person she cares about in this world. She can play piano, she cooks for her and Papyrus, and she and Papyrus watch the MTT show together.

Ivory would not like Undertale Undyne or troublemakers. Ivory is a lot more careful and cautious with new people.

Papyrus & Undyne live in the same house, in Snowdin.

What happened to Undyne’s parents? Did she have parents? Did they die?

HER:

Smiley face can be attributed to anyone, not just Chara.

Error!Undyne?

Have we met her in classic Undertale?

Is she Core!Frisk?

She could be the Player.

She is not Undyne or Chara.

She just wants fun.

Is she a specific person with a name?

She is the Player.

[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. Papyrus is notorious for putting his own principles in front of his safety, a fact that makes his family and friends rather protective.

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*

Job: Honey is a freelance translator! he works from home and will translate all kinds of documents, books scripts, anything really. He knows over a dozen different languages!

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.

Height: 5'4

(living)Family: edge rust noir fellby

Favorite Food: burgers and barbeque

Favorite Flower: iris

Favorite Color: pastel yellow

Preferred Music: country or alternative rock

Special ability: his aura is very soothing to babies and toddlers making them naturally happy and friendly around him. It really ruins the bad boy look he's trying to go for.

Job: Red works as an electric engineer at the moment, but really he wants to work on cars full time. He's considering going back to school to get a degree.

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.

Job: Edge works as a lawyer specializing in tenant and custody cases. He takes his job VERY seriously and has an impressive winning streak

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.

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.

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.

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.

Okay so I was looking up info about Nightmare and Dreamtale in general ngl, and apparently Corrupted!Nightmare was originally the human who killed Nim, who then somehow possessed one of the apples in the tree????? Which like, that’s so weird, but also it has a LOT of potential.

Okay, so disregarding Dreamtale canon, let’s have Dreamtale be an actual Undertale AU and not like. A world outside of the Undertale Multiverse(joku why did you that(I mean I get it but also. no)). It can still be outside of the Multiverse in the sense that the Antivoid is outside of the timelines(just. just pretend this how the Antivoid has always worked because then that explains how Core!Frisk couldn’t sense Error since they see everything across the timelines-I need to stop). So we can have the human who killed Nim be like the “Frisk” equivalent of that AU, giving him just a bit more sense of purpose. Because he was just some “random human” or whatnot…I dunno, I don’t know where I’m going with that.

Listen, my point is to have the Corruption that took over Nightmare’s body be his universe’s Frisk, because I find that to be interesting.

Anyways, with that established, what if somebody found that out? I’d imagine that would not go down well with anybody. I can’t imagine the drama between Corrupted and his gang. The drama between Corrupted and Dream. Ough

[fluffydeoxys]

Oughhh I love the idea for your ex-cultist guy so much. It's such an interesting concept to have a cult that tries to create its own higher power to worship. Nexus scientists in particular have access to a lot of research regarding dissonance and The Other Place, so it makes sense that after the fall of the Nexus Core, a bunch of rouge scientists took whatever was left of Phobos "Ascension to Godhood" plan and made their own kinda DIY Gestalt to worship. Also them still being around preying on whatever Nevadeans they can get their hands on is so ominous, gives very much "cult who feeds people to their god" vibe, I love it.

I can only imagine how much guilt your guy has, knowing very well what the cult is still doing and what he helped create. And if I'm reading into this correctly, him knowing that those he helped sacrifice are still suffering in that conglomerated mass of s3lfs... agghhhh it's all very lovecraftian and I love that shit so much! Plus him having been corrupted by dissonance is so good...like his research forever changed him, like a price for knowledge kind of thing. I'd love to see more whenever you do figure out his design, I love stuff with eldritch themes!

EEEE it's hard to articulate/state how much this means to me, thank you for showing an interest in my concept/thoughts even when it was just. tags in your post LMFAO I genuinely appreciate it so much. It's so lovely and kind for you to reach out!

I think there's so much fun potential for the aftermath of Phobos' death and then further still when the sun dies and 'madness' sets in from MC3. Nevada becomes even more unsafe and splintered, filled to the brim with roaming gangs of bandits, cultists, scavengers, you name it. It's survival of the fittest, but so many of them have lost their way, a purpose, meaning, and stability in their life. Not to mention if you're alone, you're probably easy pickings for your shit being stolen, or for you being beaten.

I can easily see these 'false religions' popping up (ie, cults) to try and get people to band under one banner, one purpose. It's easy to manipulate, too if you're powerful enough and have a compelling enough reason. The AAHW is just another one of these dubious groups who have enough collective power to compel people to join the fold so they have a place to sleep and eat. Even if their cause is a literal death sentence.

Project Gestalt would be eye-opening to what you could "do" with the S3LF. Have enough of it in a suitable host and you can basically construct a higher being, arguably a god. Could you do the same in a person? What's the limit? Could you make a hivemind out of bodies and souls all melded together?

No one's gonna miss those people. Surely they're happy to be part of a greater cause? Never mind all those S3LFs writhing together, no voice to cry out for their suffering as they're forever stuck in service of this cultist endeavour. It's very Undertale Amalgamates (one of my favourite things from Undertale tbh).

And if they're suitable enough to be a competent or intelligent proponent of their designs, then they get to help make the project, rather than be fed to it.

So yeah, he really wanted to die for all that. But in the in-between of life and death, the Maker steps in and gives him another chance. I can imagine him asking the Maker why he doesn't stop the cult itself, this blasphemy of existence, but the Maker just regards him silently. Could think of it that he wants this guy to do something about it, rather than him just waving the matter out of existence.

He's actually the guy who restored Rory, and he's assisting Jane with her endeavour to find Medea. Many of this guy's victims were AAHW, by the way. You could think of this as his attempts to repent, although he's really not directly addressing the ongoing problem of the cult...

Again, thank you so much for asking me about my little goobers. It means the world to me, and I treasure every opportunity and kindness extended to me to talk about them, hehe!

Edit: Oops I forgot I got too excited to post, I really love your work and its a pleasure to see your art! Thank you for all the lovely ideas that you share. I think Chickaboo is adorable!

[howlsofbloodhounds]

personally i think color has way too much integrity to go undercover as a spy he's gonna out himself after some time (although killer might cover for him a bit). however, now i'm thinking of people who can be undercover inside nightmare's gang of hooligans. fiest thought when i think of hooligan is delta, which is just... no 💀 he'll break his cover after five minutes. epic might be an interesting one - he's very chaotically good and doesn't have much qualms with violence himself.

the funniest option is fresh honestly. he has an amicable relationship with core frisk, who might have qualms with nightmare (or not - there's not much interaction or overlap between the two there). although, would be funny if fresh goes undercover because nightmare sometimes allies with error, who definitely has beef with core (why are bad sanses having beef with children this is embarassing 😭🙏).

That’s precisely why i think it’d be funny watching color struggle to go against his integrity 💀. Little bro gonna have to walk a hardline between the truth and the lie and he gonna have to keep his story straight.

I think his biggest issue would be the whole hurting people though, spreading negativity part. It’s probably become extremely obvious the toll it takes on him, even if his hand is eventually forced and he has no choice but to hurt.

When push comes to shove and there’s seemingly no other option, Color has shown to be able to kill—such as with his AU’s human—but here i think he’d struggle a lot. In most other cases, his choice to use violence was always for a reason (punching Undyne) or against an enemy who has proven that they won’t stop until they’re truly dead (the human.)

Thankfully he doesn’t really have to kill, because Nightmare needs victims alive. Perhaps Color earns his spot by preventing Killer from killing, since he does have enough strength and power to overpower Killer before Stage 4 factors into the equation.

Which would make an interesting dynamic if Nightmare assigns Color to be like, Killer’s handler or something… 🤔 Perhaps this is how Color comes to learn more about Killer’s situation because he’s put in a position to see him at his most vulnerable, but in sharp contrast, this only makes Killer more wary of and distrustful of Color—especially if it appears like Color joined willingly. I’d imagine it’d be a lot harder to get Killer to leave Nightmare willingly, because Color would either be a trap or a test that he’s not “stupid enough” to fall for.

Imagine both Color and Fresh undercover underneath Nightmare, it’d be hilarious. I like to imagine that both Killer and now Fresh find ways to disturb and creep Nightmare out.

I wonder what reasons Color would give for wanting to join Nightmare. Trying to save his universe? Get Gaster out of the Void? Defeat Corrupted Chara? Try and Reset Othertale back into Undertale so he’ll be remembered and have his brother back again?

I’m sure the last one, a part of Killer could empathize with—although it’d bring up a debate between Color and ST1 on if it’s better to be forgotten or not. Especially since, in contrast to eachother, being forgotten was one choice Color never got to make himself and being forgotten was one choice Killer ever made himself— without any outside influences.

Apothecary AU - A Lil Prologue Peek

I'm just giving a little peek into the draft to the Apothecary AU prologue. I'm slowly working on the story and will possibly be uploading the final drafts up on A03, then work on making the comic pages to the story. Though do I wish to possibly face the wrath of the A03 curse?.. Eh. Will probably take up the chance to encounter the infamous A03 curse. But I've still got plenty of the prologue to work on so I hope you all enjoy this little peek in to some bits of the story prologue.

Anyways. This here is only just a little peek into the prologue that I'm working on. I don't want to spoil too much so I'mma just put 2 parts out of all the prologue draft. Also auto-correct really loves to try and fix the spelling to bones.

------------

Nightmare sighed as he stood in place. Looking up at the laundry as he worked on hanging up everything that was in his basket. Grumbling to himself as he worked away on his duties. 2 months ago he had been kidnapped by those brutes and sold him off to the X-Empire. Now he’s stuck working here as a servant for the next 3 years. Half his paycheck is getting sent to the ones that took him from his home. He sighed and took a step back. Rubbing his clavide as he stared at the wet laundry as it blew in the wind.

Quietly grumbling as he sat down. Looking at the almost empty basket. “Well at least I’m almost done with this load.” He muttered to himself before looking up as he heard someone call his name. “Niiiightmare!” A young happy voice called out.

Nightmare hummed as he looked at the white skinned human hybrid child. Nightmare doesn’t exactly know what monster Core is a hybrid of, though if he were to guess base on the child’s snow white skin, he’d probably guess a ghost or maybe even ghoul. The child’s charcoal black eyes stared up at him. “Hello Core. Are you done washing all that laundry?” He raised a brow at them. Lightly reminding the child of their duties they’re suppose to do before being allowed to play. “What has you so excited?”

Core giggled excitedly. The child is 8 years of age. That Nightmare knows. The child blinked a little as they thought about the others words. “The laundry is done washing! I finished it all! But that isn’t important!” They quickly shook their head. Bouncing in excitement. “There’s big news! Like the goodest and biggest of news!” They started running around Nightmare in their excitement.

Core is an interesting child. For some reason they’ve basically latched onto Nightmare since day one when he got here. They followed him around and talk about a bunch of stuff till they met their mother Lotus. He still doesn’t get why Core started sticking to his side but he’s not gonna stop them. They are some how bringing joy to Core, so he won’t take that from them.

“Oh really now?” Nightmare raised a brow. “What news would that be?” He placed a hand on Core’s shoulder. Getting the child to stop running and look up at him. “I haven’t seen anything excite you this much since last month when you informed me of your mother going up in her cooking rank duties.” He blinked slowly as he thought about it for a moment. Lotus has gone from merely cooking meals for all the consorts and servants to now being able to cook meals for the up coming ceremonies.

Core smiled excited. “Two of crowned prince Cross’ concubine gave birth earlier!” They happily cheered. Throwing their arms in the air. Happily trying to imagine what the newborns are suppose to look like.

Nightmare blinked in surprise. “Oh really now? Is that why everyone has been in such a frenzy today?” He questioned in confusion. He hasn’t really been paying attention to what’s been going on around him since he had been brought here. Mostly keeping to himself and trying to keep his nose out of everything. He doesn’t want to draw any attention to himself after all… he already has one annoying thing about him that grabs the attention of those around him.

If he recalls correctly crowned prince Cross has three concubines. His first concubine Horror, second concubine Cinders, and final concubine Killer. He also knows that Cross has three siblings. That’s an obvious fact. After all who within the Empire both within it’s walls and outside of them does not know of all the children of the Emperor? The other three children of the Emperor are named Slash, Xrisk, and Xara. He scratched his cheek a little. “Hmmm… I wonder which of the three gave birth.”

“OH! OH! OH Concubine Horror and Concubine Killer were the ones who gave birth!” Core happily answered for him. Happily bouncing on their heels.

Nightmare nodded as he got up. “Ah I see.” Thinking as he continued hanging up the last few bits of laundry he needed to hang. “Maybe I’ll get lucky and see the newborns.” He sighed slightly. Lightly tugging at the metal collar for a moment. Core happily talked about how they wanted to see the newborns as well. “Core you probably should hurry and check to make sure that you have no other work to do… Do you need any directions?” He raised a brow at the child as he placed the last bit of laundry up.

Core blinked as they pulled something out of their sleeve. Showing the wooden plank up to the other. “Yes please. I don’t know where I’m suppose to go for this.”

Nightmare thought as he read the hand held plaque. “Ah. Okay that is for building 5. The one with the cyan colored blossom tree growing in front of it’s entrance.” He pointed out while pointing in the direction they Core is meant to go. “Apparently you’ll be helping with some cleaning there.”

Core nodded happily. “That you!” They giggled excitedly and ran off.

Nightmare watched Core run off. Thinking about what Core said before glaring at the laundry that was hanging. As he watched it move about in the wind. A strange feeling started to swirl around in his bones. An odd knot in his soul. This feeling… it’s one that normally creeps up on him when a feeling that something bad might happen soon… And it only came up after Core mentioned the newborns… He shook his head a little. ‘Nope. Stop thinking any of that. Those kids will be fine. You are once again over worrying yourself.’ He thought to himself.

------

Nightmare thought as he took his seat. He’s been here for a few months now. Time feels as though it has been passing by so slowly… doesn’t help that he hasn’t been able to do many of the things that he’d normally do to pass the time. Looking down at his plate of food as he held onto his chopsticks. Gently taking a small piece of rice and started eating. Due to the metal collar around his neck, it made eating large bites of food difficult. So he must take small bites out of whatever he eats. While it is annoying it isn’t the worst problem in the world. After a moment he looked up once he saw Core and their mother. “Hello Core. Hello Lotus.”

Core sat across from him. A worried look on their face. He noticed a similar yet different look of worry on the humans face. He lightly tilted his skull to the side. Slightly confused as to why they’d have such looks. “Why do you two have such looks?”

Lotus sighed a little. “Oh don’t worry too much about me. It’s just…” She looked at Nightmare’s neck. “We really must find a way to remove that thing from your neck and back.” She stated. “Just seeing that… makes me uncomfortable is all. Well… not just me. But I think you understand that.”

Nightmare hummed at that. “Well you are not wrong.” He stated as he slowly ate a little of his food for a moment before continuing. “Sadly these restraints are forever locked in place. They hold no key holes to unlock them with, and back within the village many different methods were attempted and used. Nothing worked. Not only that but I’ve also been wearing this for a long time. So I have gotten use to it.” He shrugged a little. “I will probably die in this.”

Lotus made a face at that. Sadly looking down and shaking her head. “Such a horrible fate to be trapped with… maybe you should try talking with the unic? Maybe one of them will know of a way to aid you? Maybe breaking it with something?”

Nightmare shook his head at her. “Trust me. If there was a way it would’ve been found years back. Not to mention trying to forcibly break it is too risky. As if it were to be broken in the wrong spot.” He said while motioning towards his back. “Well… I am not in the mood to loose the feeling within my legs.” That comment made Lotus’ face drain of color. “I have accepted my fate.” He pointed out before looking at Core. “Now what has you so upset?”

“Core please don’t tell me you’ve been listening to the adults gossiping about things again.” Lotus glanced at her child.

Core frowned up at Nightmare. “Haven’t you heard? It’s the babies.” They pouted a little. “They’re sick and no one knows why. Baby Arch and Mo aren’t getting better and everyone saying that it’s a curse!” They said while looking at Nightmare.

Nightmare blinked in surprise. Looking at Core once he heard that the babies were sick. “A curse?” He raised a brow and listened to the other. “I doubt that it is a curse if they are simply sick with something.” He shook his head a little. He knows a little of curses after all… but no one needs to know of that.

“Oh yes… From what I’ve heard the babies are having fever, nausea, barely keeping any food down, shivers.” Lotus started listing off.

Nightmare blinked as he listened to Lotus. “I see…” He thought about what was said and returned to his food. “I hope the children start getting better soon.” He wishes to see the sick babies himself. Just hearing that they are sick is making his soul churn. The want to figure out what could be making them sick and make a cure… but they have a physician that’s already working with them… he really needs to try and keep himself out of it all.

[dreamseersystem]

Wrote a little drabble for something with no context of anything I post here. It's actually an origin story for a private rp, but its so good to not share.

TW: Death, Dusting, Angst

He looked at his hands, the glitchy purple lines were starting to overtake his bones. He closed his eyes as he leaned against the skeleton next to him, just waiting for the end at this point. No need to collect SOULs when there won't be a place for them to go. The X-Virus corrupted the SOULs to be erased eventually anyway. He sighed.

"Inpatient or just sad?" A glitchy voice asked next to him. He looked at Error and nuzzled into him more.

"Wishing there was something to be done. But... It's really the end, isn't it Error?" He asked the other.

"Just us, Ink, Fresh, and Ccino last I checked, but the other three are still trying... I'm sorry Reaper," Error said to the other as he petted him. His phobia doesn't matter anyway now. He could sense the end of everything. "I wish they would just give up and leave. They still have a chance. Go to some other Multiverse. I can't even blame the squid for all this anymore. Who could have guessed mixing that stupid XGaster SOUL with the Master Code would have done this? It was an accident."

"He blames himself..." Reaper whispered as he felt more deaths and universes being erased. Even the Antivoid was starting to have the purple glitches.

"Stupid squid," Error muttered. A tremor shook everything around them, even in the vast nothing it could be more felt and seen.

A portal appeared as Ccino and Ink came through. Ink was carrying Fresh over his shoulder. Ccino looked at Reaper and Error. "We need to get out of here, the core Undertale is finally infected," he said. "Ink is running out of paints as well. The Doodlesphere isn't producing anymore."

Reaper and Error gave a look at each other and nodded. "Then you three need to go. What happened to the parasite?" Error asked.

"His body... Got hurt by the virus, it didn't infect... But..." Ink said as he struggled with trying to not waste what little paints he had left in his system. He showed them the dusting bones on the body. It was like the body was struggling to hang on.

"You should be able to give him a new body to claim if you jump now," Reaper said. "You still have time before the body dust and he has a limited time outside of it."

Ccino paused as he looked at Reaper and Error. "You won't come with us?" Ink looked a bit panicked at that.

"No! You guys need to leave too! I can't lose anyone else!" He pleaded.

Error huffs at him. "Reaper has the virus," he said. "And I can't just leave here. I'm connected to the Antivoid here. That's why I'm glitching more as it falls apart. Even if I go to another Multiverse, if this place is gone... I'm gone too."

Ink let his tears slip at that. Ccino had to grab Fresh as Ink grabbed at Error to shake him. "No! No! Please! I'm sorry! It's all my fault! If I never had that stupid vial..."

"Stop you fucking squid. If we are gonna play that game then I'm just as guilty for starting a fight at the core in the first place and making the vial break on the book," Error growled. "Get outta here before this place is gone!" Another tremor shook the place harder this time. Cracks appeared around them, a mix of black and purple.

"You need to leave now guys," Reaper added in.

"I can't..." Ink cried.

"You fucking squid brained fool!" Error growled. He ripped a portal that led to darkness. "Get in there and head somewhere else! Find a new home, a new us to be friends with!"

"I..."

"Come on bruh..." Fresh coughed as he clung to Ccino with what strength he had left in the body. "Isn't there a thing about respecting the wishes of the dead?"

"They ain't dead!" Ink yelled.

"Yet..." Ccino whispered. "Ink... Please. Let's do as they say."

Reaper petted Fresh since the virus couldn't hurt the parasite. "Gonna miss you bruh. Make sure you look after these idiots."

"Hey," Ccino huffed.

"Get the fuck in that portal!" Error shouted again as the cracks got worse.

Reaper looked at the three and nodded as he took out his scythe and rushed to push the three into the portal.

Another crack appeared and Error pulled Reaper back as he let go of his weapon from the movement, it landed with them on the other side and hit the ground. The three watched as cracks even appeared in Error and Reaper, purple glitches overtaking them before the portal disappeared.

"N... N... No... NO!!!!" Ink screamed as he tried to get back at the portal, but it was gone. He took Broomie and tried to use it to create another one, but he was only creating a puddle of black paint on the ground.

Ccino and Fresh didn't know what to do. Ink was kinda their ticket out of this place since Ccino had no idea how to create a portal out of here.

"Ink, bruh, we should get moving. Reaper said this place was dangerous if we stayed here long," Fresh said as he coughed. His legs were dusted by this point. He didn't have much longer in the body.

"I need to fix it! I did this! I never should have trusted XGaster! I should have never taken the vial from him! I shouldn't..." Fresh and Ccino were able to hug Ink as he kneeled there in front of the paint.

"It's not your fault bruh. Just a series of unfortunate events," Fresh coughed some more. "Shit... I'm so weak I can curse... Imagine that... By body doesn't..." His glasses fell off and a tentacle was poking out. It looked sickly and damaged.

Ink panicked at seeing the tendril. "Fresh... What is..."

"SOUL got the virus bruh. My own body isn't..." He coughed a bunch as more of the skeleton body dusted off.

"What can we do?" Ccino asked. He didn't want to lose his friend either.

"Don't... Know... Just take care of Ink coffee bro," Fresh said. With a final cough, the body dusted, leaving a weak and dying parasite behind. Ink grabbed him and held him close.

"I can't... I won't..." Ink muttered lowly. He wasn't emoting as much anymore. He nuzzled the parasite.

Ccino gave Ink a concerned look. "Ink... You don't have a SOUL for him to survive off of. I can let him share..."

"No! This is my fault! My fault everyone died!"

"Ink, please. Let's get out of here and we can help Fresh. The more we wait..." Ccino started.

"No! I can..." Ink said as he pulled out a vial that was hidden on his sash. It was a rainbow mixture.

"Ink what is...?"

"Something that might save him," Ink said. "But... Watch over him Ccino... I don't know what this..."

Ccino tried to move to stop him, but Ink already poured some of the vial into Fresh's eyemouth and brought him to his eyesocket. He shoved him in as he drank the rest of the vial down. The body seemed to melt into a rainbow puddle and slowly the body started to reform to the look that Fresh took when he sometimes stole Ink's body for fun.

Ccino watched as a pulsing rainbow mix of paints was floating in front of the body and formed a SOUL. The familiar upside down monster SOUL that was filled with rainbow colors instead of the white. It entered his chest and Fresh collapsed, Ccino catching him before he hit the ground.

"Fresh! Ink!" Ccino called out as he held the other. He didn't understand what happened. He doesn't even think Ink knew what happened. He just continued to hold the pair in the darkness.

Soon there was movement and eyes opened finally, showing both the changing eyelights till Fresh's body appeared at the one socket. "What...?" He asked.

"I don't know... Ink made you drink some rainbow paint and then drank it himself as he shoved you inside of him," Ccino said. Fresh paused at that as he tried to search for Ink's consciousness inside the body.

Emotions he never really felt as strongly before shot through him as he panicked. His body shaking as he failed to find any trace of Ink, and that's when he finally felt it. The SOUL. But it was more... His body touched it and felt the connection between him and the SOUL, but there was no trace of Ink. Why was there a SOUL? Ink didn't... And he felt the emotions so strongly like...

"What did he..." Fresh struggled to say as tears fell from the eye sockets as he couldn't hold them back.

"I can't... Ccino... Bruh... He's..." Fresh cried for the first time ever in his long life. Ccino held him close as he let the other cry it out. He rubbed his back as Fresh couldn't control the tears that fell down.

"He was an idiot, but... He couldn't stand to lose anyone else," Ccino said softly. "I don't understand or know what he did, but he did it for you. He always cared about you Fresh."

"Why does it hurt? I never felt a SOUL hurt like this before. Or strong emotions... It hurts so much Ccino," Fresh cried as he clung tight to his friend.

"A SOUL is a heavy burden," Ccino said. "It's okay. I'm here bro."

"Thanks... I couldn't... Handle this alone..." Fresh said softly as he ended up closing his eyes as the crying stopped. He ended up falling asleep in Ccino's lap.

They were there in that dark void for some time, but even Ccino could feel that they shouldn't linger here for long. But Fresh needed time to adjust. They found his glasses to put back on and now Fresh was pacing as he tried to feel the way the SOUL and Creator magic twisted around his parasite form. The SOUL was recovering any piece he ate off it, so Ink gave him a permanent body. Tho he hurt when he chomped on it, so he learned to sucked it instead to lessen the pain of feeding. That was certainly a new experience.

"Fresh we are gonna need to get out of here," Ccino said. "I feel like I'm hearing whispers around me."

"I know... I just..." Fresh took a spray can and shook it before spraying some paint in front of him. A mote of light appeared, lighting nothing, but something shone in the void. Fresh was confused and approached it until he saw the scythe. "Reaper's scythe..."

Ccino walked over and gave it a look as well. "It must have followed us when he..."

Fresh held it in his hand and felt a pulsing from the handle. He worked off instinct and let his magic flow, he pulled a SOUL out. It was Reaper's SOUL. "He..." He looked at Ccino, his glasses shooting off the word IDEA!

"What?"

"I'm gonna make a new world! Bigger! All together! A brand new core verse so I can bring everyone back!" Fresh said. "One world with every au mixed together somehow! I'm gonna bring them all back Ccino. Starting with Reaper and his SOUL! I can do it!"

Ccino smiled and hugged Fresh. "Then let's do it. I'll help watch over everything just like I've always had."

Fresh grinned and held the precious SOUL in his hand. "I'll start off with him. I'll create a new way to do things this time. And bring back everyone together where they can be happy too. Not following the same thing everyone else does. No more Undertale, Underfell, and all. This time..." His glasses were filled with stars. "It's gonna be different." He put the SOUL and scythe away and pulled out his spray paints to get to work.

ULTIMATE (not really) GASTER CONNECTIONS LIST THING

Finally, I wrote down everything that came to my mind, most of them were theories. So if I missed something, please let me know. Plus, I'll probably update this when I find something new.

Devil connections:

- His stats are with numbers 666

- He fell (into his creation)

- his font has the word Wing in its name

-the first version of deltarune was 0.666

-religious connections of characters in Deltarune

- Possibility that he is an Angel

-Dark, Darker, Yet Darker

- Speaks through the Device - Ouija board reference?

- Shadow Crystals as pieces of him

- is associated with the most hell-like place in the Underground

Enemies in Undertale are similar to the Main Boss of the area-

Characters in the core:

- Final Froggit: Searching for Life Meaning/ Giving life its own meaning. Threaten/Mystify

-Whimsalot: "There's still hope", "I've made my choice", "No regrets", Prayers, Butterflies,

-Madjick: Clear Mind, Magican, Emits Cross-shaped bullets

-Knight Knight: Sleeping, Good Morningstar, Knight

Following this lead, Mettaton should not be a Core Boss -> there is no connection. This is Gaster's place

Uncategorized things:

-The core we see is redesigned by Mettaton, we do not know its previous layout

-Into voice's typer text value is the same as Gaster's

-Ms.Zarves and Ray as Inspiration for Gaster

-Possibly a Skeleton

- is the creator of Deltarune

- speaks in hands (probably WingDings font)

- He knows Chara personally (they work together)

- Deltarune is owned by ROYAL SCIENCES, LLC

-is scientist

-He worked for Asgore

-Dark Totems in Core - Dark Fountains first version?

-Memoryhead emits Gaster-like bullets

-Memoryhead says “Lorem Ipsum Docet” -> It means something like "Pain teaches”

-Memoryhead can give you a piece of themself

-Piece is called “Bad Memory”, Follower 3 is recalling Bad Memory connected to Gaster

-Noelle’s Blog page is reference to MysteryMan’s appearance in Undertale

-The entirety of Deltarune is an experiment

-Freezing is both reference to Freezing computer and Dante’s Inferno

-is connected to phones - Part of Memoryhead looks like phone

-”Another Him” uses Giygas soundfont

-Gaster seems to be heavily inspired by Uboa from Yume Nikki and Giygas from Earthboud

-Giygas and Gaster have a machines tied to them. Both are strongly associated with the theme of the devil and prayers.

HIS CREATION = BLACK HOLE:

-“A jump into a black hole is a one-way trip. Black holes are regions of space where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape them, not even light. Even before you reach the event horizon – the point of no return – you would be “spaghettified” by the black hole's tidal forces.” -Supernova

-You fall into a Black Hole

-“Of course, no matter what type of black hole you plunge into, you're ultimately going to get torn apart by its extreme gravity and die a horrible death. No material that falls inside a black hole could survive intact.” - Spacendbeyondthebox

-is everywhere at the same time - after being torn apart

-“Negative Photons reading”

-He was scattered across time and space

-theory made by Reddit user Garble365:

“in Interstellar (the sci-fi movie), Cooper falls into a blackhole, and he gets access to every place in the universe, in this infinitely small blackhole. Basically he is everywhere, at the same time. He can look at his daughter and hear her. But he cannot speak to her with his voice, the sound doesn't reach her due to some reason. So he resolves to knocking a few books in a bookshelf in his daughter's bedroom. Her daughter thought it was a ghost, being small. When she grew up, she realizes it was morse code in the form of books being knocked over. It was her father. He was speaking with his hand”

VIRUS CONNECTIONS:

- causes the files to become corrupted - the characters go insane after the meeting

-“The virus starts propagating, which is multiplying and replicating itself. The virus places a copy of itself into other programs” - Wikipedia

EGG CONNECTIONS:

- mysteryman head shape

- Scientists/intellectual people are called Eggheads

- Humpty Dumpty Reference

- Eggs given by the Man - possible Gaster pieces?

-The eggs stick together into one piece

-eggs break the game's fourth wall and move between save files

-When you drop an egg it says "what egg?" as if it doesn't exist

GERSON AND GASTER CONNECTIONS

-They were both replaced by Alphys after they left

-They are both highly respected by the people

-Religion references - Gerson’s son is priest

-Gerson in Undertale has knowledge that other monsters do not have

GASTER’S THEME:

- Gaster blaster resembles a dragon's skull and the "beams" could easily be snow, similar to the snow grave spell

-susie's axe, which is said to be made of a dragon's mane. Implying that susie herself is a dragon
