Hi, just read what you had put under episode 9. I understand how you feel about disappointing others (I'm like that a lot. I tend to be a "people pleaser," only telling people stay they want to hear,) but if it's something that you want to do or you're happy with creating, go for it! You'll always have at least one fan 😉 I find this very interesting and i would love to see where you take this story. Also, remember, it is an AU, so it doesn't have to line up perfectly with what is canon to Toby Fox's Undertale. This is your alternate version of it, so you can do whatever you want with it. Now, I'm not saying that you have to finish it, if you're not comfortable with that, it's okay, I'm just saying it doesn't have to be canon to the OG Undertale. It's got a different name for a reason. This one is yours and yours only. There's almost always going to be at least one hater when things don't go their way. Look at Hazbin or Helluva, Viv knows about the haters, but she's always got fans. That could be you too ❤️

Sincerely, your number 1 fan

Hihi, it's been QUITE a while since I've been on here...

Honestly, when I logged into my tumblr account today- it was initially for the sole purpose of letting everyone that follows CAU know that I no longer wanted to work on it.

The reason why- in short- is that I started this story with a long-term partner of mine, and he was the one that inspired the whole premise of CAU, along with the fact that we spent a very long time refining the story together- unfortunately, somewhat recently, that relationship has come to an end and I struggle to see myself working on this project anymore, especially any time soon, since it was heavily intertwined with the relationship.

I do still view the plot as something I'm very satisfied with and eager to share, considering it was something I sunk in a lot of time and effort into on my own as well...which is why part of me struggles to put this project away for good.

I'm honestly very flattered to receive this message, it reminded me of what I love about the undertale fandom so much- you guys are JUST THE BEST???? LIKE UGH EVERY INTERACTION IVE HAD ON HERE IS SO LOVELY!!1!!

Sadly, I can't say for certain that I'm going to continue working on CAU, but neither can I say that I'm quitting working on CAU for good- since I hold the story and community so dearly.

I appreciate the time I had on here, and I apologize sincerely for somewhat wasting everyone's time.

Thank you so much for everything, and thank you anon for the super sweet message! I'm surprised someone even read my ramble at the end of the episode TuT

With love, Hymnal <3

Chapter 1: Episode 9 First | Previous | Next

Hihi everyone- looks like I forgot to finish this draft and missed the upload date TuT

I’ve finally finished this episode after what felt like the most difficult time in my life :,D I’ve been having a lot of trouble lately with second guessing everything in my life and that had caused me to distance myself from practically everything creative!!

Now that my exams are over and my summer semester is starting, I’ve got a lot more free time in my hands.

Despite that, I still have doubts about whether or not I “should” continue working on CAU (Not saying it’s cancelled) I guess it’s just a fear of disappointing people that are far more knowledgable on undertale’s lore and skilled in writing perfect plots- since this is my first comic and I’m not as “deeply” informed on canon lore more than I am on fanon…

I worry that some of you guys will follow the story for what could be a few years just to be disappointed by my plot, which is the last thing I’d want- I’d hate to waste people’s times TuT

Regardless, I am grateful for the continued support- even during my absence, this community is the reason why I proudly display 50+ undertale stickers on everything I own just so I get to flaunt that I’m in love with undertale.

I hope you guys enjoy this episode, I actually loved the art towards the end as I had taken multiple breaks while working on it and I think my art shows that LOLL I know there isn’t much “revealed” in this episode but the first chapter is very much just exposition :,D

Alrightie, thanks for reading my rambles!!! Love you guys MWA byebye

[condemnationau]

First of all this is a super cool comic! I love the art style and I'm excited to see where it goes.

It kinda reminds me of that one episode of Spongebob where they all "took a break" from him and left him behind for weeks. I know the monsters would NEVER, but just for gits and shiggles, I'm imagining them coming off the bus wearing shirts with Sans and Papyrus's faces crossed off and being all like "SURPRISE!!!"

AWW TY TY I'm glad you're liking it so far :DD

I will be honest, I've never watched spongebob and I have no idea what episode it is you're referencing- but the concept is just so funny???? I've been cackling at the thought of that LOLLL

[condemnationau]

Heyooo, just wanna ask out of curiosity.

What does Sans and Paps like to do together? In the current situation, I mean, where everyone “disappeared”, allegedly. What is something (or things) that they do in the underground to pass time? I’m assuming that there’d be nothing left on the channels on TV since the star Mettaton himself is gone as well as the others. Speaking of which, do they just go and take things from abandoned shops since there’s no one left? LMAO??? Things are bound to dust and eventually shut down when abandoned, so what’s happen to the machines and such? In the Lab? Gaaahhhh you really left us with a cliffhanger last episode and I’ve been left with questions, wondering about MORE. And I’m glad ya back, Hymn; hope whatever’s on ya side is going well >wo

Ooh, this is really tricky to answer without spoiling the overall plot but- I do plan to have some episodes tackle the whole “Well, what now?” question that Sans and Papyrus are inevitably gonna be asking, so we’re definitely gonna get episodes with the brothers existing together and doing things together before the main arc starts taking place.

I’ll be honest when I started writing CAU, I knew I didn’t want to apply too many of the “canon laws” to the universe of CAU- so my general rule for the underground in CAU was that all the non-living things such as buildings or machinery just stayed in place, and since no one’s around to maintain any of the machinery- they’ve all just stopped working- meaning there isn’t any power being supplied to any of the buildings in the underground anymore- I tried to convey this slightly but I think I’ve failed to as I didn’t want the house to be too dark that you can’t tell what’s going on :,D besides, the underground isn’t pitch black, there are many places in the underground that aren’t lit by lights and such canonically but are still bright enough to view what’s going on.

One thing that I do really wanna mention- despite never writing it into an episode- is that I wanted the whole reason why the underground in CAU is so much colder to Papyrus is because of the fact that everyone’s gone, and so there aren’t any more places with fires lit, or being heated up by “body warmth” ig???? Think of like an abandon mall- but like- in a place that’s constantly winter.

Of course, I’d prefer it if the reader sticks with whatever they view better- if you think my reasoning behind everything sucks, then all power to you TuT

I’m very much an amateur writer and this is my first comic so I’m bound to make mistakes- especially when writing about a story with preexisting lore- I just hope that I manage to get the emotions and intrigue of my story across without losing the reader’s interest :)

Oh and, thank you so much buddy :) I’m glad to be back! Thank you for such a fun question!!! I loved answering this, it got my gears turning.

[condemnationau]

GRAAAAAAAAAAH I LOVE I ADORE THANK YOU SO MUCH WAAAA

Tumblr Sanses I love: ❤️

Mimic by @marshmall

Mimic has always been one of my favorites as he is my inspiration for starting to post in Tumblr about Splash Sans (Including AlterchosisTale).

I especially love his cute design and how he has to mimic other Sanses to try to find his identity, I think it's interesting! I really love his character, I hope to see more of him!! :3

Stitch by @stitchau

Stitch is a cool and funny character! I love how he is a therapist, trying to help others even though they're violent. Splashy would totally cry if he was talking about his past with Stitch. 🪡

Trickster by @yourloveaton

Trickster has always been one of my favourites as he is a silly, funny and cool character. Especially with the fact the bells jingle when he teleports to a different AU. Also, don't be sneaky, Trickster. I know about you and Nems >:3

I've drawn him once before and redrawing him makes me relieved because I think the other one was- alright? Lol.

Nems by @bloobluee

Introducing...Trickster's beloved husband (lol), Nems! I love his design and how he is a book worm Sansy, reading books in a library. But anyhow, his character is amazing, love it! Good job! 👏

I found out about him after I found...Ships of him and Trickster from others'fanart. 0-0

Sanu by @mintmint2

I kinda just found him one day as I'm scrolling through random posts and...I absolutely love the hat! Makes him look all classical and old-fashioned like he is going to a ballroom.

Drawing him was a bit hard because of his outfit but overall, I think I did pretty well! I hope you like it!

Dionysus by @javaxzun

I AM A HISTORY NERD, literally...And when I saw this Sans, I literally fell in love on first site. BRO, how did I not find this Sanses sooner?! I love the design and everything, I could draw him everyday and wouldn't get bored. :3

Lol 😅

Slash by @xnzlian

Slash, slash, slash...HE IS SOOO CUTE!!! His design and everything is nice but what makes me love this character even more is that...If he put the letter "p" in his name, it would be "Splash."

Condemned by @condemnationau

I love his design and comic, so detailed and awesome!!! I hope to see more in the future!! :3

I already drew him before also In the past but I was a bit sad that it wasn't as good so I tried to make it better in this post! Hope you love it too!! 😁

(I wrote a lot...Lol...also don't worry about the numbers, I ain't ranking you guys, not at all! I love all of your Sanses equally! ❤️)

[condemnationau]

Drops this and runs away

Thank you so much for this, I'm putting it on my fridge rn- also IS THAT AN EARRING???? KYAAAAAAAAAAA

[condemnationau]

Dunnp if you saw but I drew your boy :D

THIS

I ADORE

I SUPPORT

THIS SHIP GAINS THE CREATOR'S SEAL OF APPROVAL!!!!!!!!!

I adore the details you put into this- and the way you draw grillby is INSANE!?!??!

I love that you took the concept of CAU Sans being starved of affection and made a whole ship out of it???

10/10 everyone go follow @callmeherry

[condemnationau]

Heya it’s me again I noticed smth sans eyes (ur au) r a lot smoller like a dot or a c but smaller is there some lore about it or its way u draw him

Oh wow, that is a very astute observation!

I'm sorry to disappoint though, the only lore there is behind consans having "c" or "o" shaped pupils is because...when I was drafting his design, I noticed that consans looked very similar to canon, and I didn't really like that.

I wanted my AU to be recognizable, especially when drawn in other people's styles (call it wishful thinking but I was imagining fanart since I was at 2 followers...) so I decided that I'd change the eyes!

I know it's not really original??? I'm sure you could find an AU out there with a similar detail- but 9 episodes in and I honestly really like what it does for sans' expressiveness.

Especially since I made it a rule for myself to never draw sans without a smile, I NEED his eyes to do all of the heavy-lifting when protraying emotions.

Thank you very much for the question, I love the attention to details :)

[condemnationau]

I drew ur silly fursona/persona thing muahahahahaha

They will appear in CON comic #127 trust trust

I can neither confirm nor deny that fact but WAA I LOVE IT SO MUCH- THE WAY YOU DO YOUR LINEART IS SO GOOD AND YOU MADE MY PERSONA SO MUCH CUTER THAN IT IS :,)

Thank you so much buddy! I love this, I'm saving it forever and ever.

[condemnationau]

I just want to say one thing... and maybe more... I REALY LOVE YOUR ART, and i realy REALY LOVE your comics i want to make comics of my own sans aus but im too god damn lazy

Btw you remind me of hand plates and i realy love that <3

Also i will always love you and dont forget that people care about you <3

hihiii aw gosh, thank you so much! I'm really happy to hear you love what I create! I'm sorry that this reply isn't drawn- I'm having difficulties balancing all my work, academics and creative projects and I realized that the handwritten replies would take way too much time...I hope this is still as sincere as I hope for it to come across as.

I'll be honest, I've always been a really lazy person, so I can relate to not being able to start a comic of your own despite wanting to...funnily enough, handplates is what inspired me to push through my laziness to finally start and commit to a project!

Strangely, it was the creator's text at the bottom of one of the last episodes that inspired me the most... (Along with the infatuation with how someone could create something that could evoke strong emotions in other people but thats a talk for another time)

They said something about how they looked forward to having an episode to make every week and...I've always been the type to love routine, so the thought of having a project waiting for me to publish every weekend really inspired me! (Even though that routine has been put on hold until I regain my bearings)

For a very long time, I was stuck in the loop of telling myself my project was "not ready yet" and that made me quit comics before I ever published them...most of the advice I'd receive from videos and stuff would leave me more demotivated because it would give me a ridiculous amount of fear. I'll be honest, I lost the point I was trying to make here...I hope I was able to give you something of substance with my rambles!!! I guess I was just trying to say, just start working on your project, imo it's better to have a WIP than to have a project stuck in your dreams.

And thank you so much for that last bit :,) it genuinely means a lot to me...

[condemnationau]

something is brewing....(fav panel so far)

[condemnationau]

you are very very cool

I’m currently getting ready to go to work so I can’t draw a reply to this but thank you anon :)

I’ve been very stressed out and creatively stumped and for some reason I decided to check tumblr (which I haven’t done in quite a bit, it feels weird), and when I saw a new notification in my inbox I was so confused.

Needless to say, this made my day :)

[condemnationau]

[condemnationau]

Hihi I found a little break in between my exam prep to finally reply to this but GOSH, YOU ARE AWESOME, WORDS CANT EXPRESS HOW GRATEFUL I AM TO RECEIVE THIS PIECE!!!

(SHOVES THIS ART AT YOU LOL)

>Made a lil fanart of these silly guys

I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH IT 💥💥💥

Both of the characters belong to @condemnationau

Aaaannnnnndddddd they faced some serious BATH TIME

*you’re gonna have a BATH TIME, pal.

I called my boy Whisk over for the necessary supplies needed.

Whisk belongs to me

I dunno Imao

AMAZING comics tho! There's so much mysteries in the story and they really keep the reader coming back for more. And the time and effort put into each episodes.... MAN. AND THERE'RE COLORED??? You're insane, dude. But yea, just giving some appreciation to another fellow UNDERRATED artist.
