Mirror interaction. Chara were surprised to see herself. They also never seen a monster before, but with Frisk, they can see again!

Chara can't cry, because they don't have eyes.

They finally got a chance to see their best friend. They knew he was fluffy, but never seen his face. It's one of a happiest moments of Chara's life!

charas good charas bad. I'm more in the boat: charas bad... however-

the idea of judging characters on a good-to-evil scale in undertale of all games is objectively stupid.

chara hurt. chara vengeful. chara impulsive and not thinking things through. chara maladjusted and suicidal and going too far. with their actions and with asriel's blind trust. chara with save powers like every other human who fell in the underground that eroded their sense of negative consequences for their actions. chara who then enforced those consequences all the more ruthlessly upon themself.

chara who gave up that power and stayed dead for a chance to save monsterkind. chara who could've rebelled to asriel and gone through with the plan, but didn't. chara whose hope for a better future for the monsters shone bright enough that asgore recognized it in frisk's eyes centuries later. chara who brought back that hope to an entire kingdom, and had that burden on their shoulders for the rest of their short life. asriel who, in the game's development, was supposed to be obsessed with the surface and the stars, and a chara who might have wanted their brother to see them for real.

but also, chara as the player's interface. chara as the quantification of our actions within the game, good and bad. chara the feeling of our stats going up. chara the ghost without a soul (just like flowey) who can't stop playing the game until you do. chara the mirror. chara and YOU.

not even our actions in the more violent routes are treated as mere "evil", cruelty or sadism within the game. they're explicitly treated as us going "too far". and because we can, we have to. not being able to quit. digging the ghost out of their tomb until it's too late.

...but sure. chara's "evil".

What is UnderLove?

"UnderLove" is an AU created by Radicalrainbow, based on the renowned role-playing game Undertale. In the universe of UnderLove, the struggle between love and hate shapes its story. It introduces a unique twist with love-centric magic and the contrasting power of hate. Characters’ appearances are heart-themed, adorned in shades of pinks, reds, and whites, with frilly trims, fluffy details, and prominent heart motifs embracing a Valentine's/Lovecore theme. Yet, this AU can show more than just one side of the coin.

Underlove's history

History of the Underground: Long ago, humans and monsters lived separately and in disarray upon the surface. Humans were known for their ruthlessness, hostility, and HATE, which led them to push the kind and loving monsters away.

Tragedy struck one night when the king’s life was brutally taken, leading Asgore to ascend to the throne. Blinded by his own growing anger, Asgore sought to avenge his father, and the once kind and loving monsters turned hostile as war was declared against the humans.

The war raged on, with magic clashing and bodies falling. Eventually, humans emerged victorious, and with the help of a powerful mage, they sealed the monsters underground. The Underground was filled with despair and darkness, but the magic of LOVE gradually began to bloom again, restoring harmony among the monsters.

The royal family made certain that their people remained full of LOVE, fearing the resurgence of HATE that had swept the surface. Royal guards were tasked with protecting the Underground by preserving love and happiness, removing those who began to corrupt with hatred, and dealing with any humans who entered their realm.

Chara’s Arrival: After many years after banishment, their peace was interrupted when a human named Chara fell into their midst, seeking refuge from human cruelty. The Dreemurr family adopted Chara despite their initial wariness, it came to be the best decision of their lives as the two kids grew up together.

Tragically, Chara fell terminally ill from consuming red rose seeds, causing them to cough up petals and roses. Before the illness could fully silence them, Chara expressed a dying wish to see the surface sky one last time.

Asriel, their adoptive brother, absorbed Chara's soul and carried them through the barrier that separated their world from the humans. However, upon reaching the surface, they were met with misunderstanding and rage, resulting in the tragic demise of both Asriel and Chara.

The Dreemurr family, torn apart by the loss of their beloved children, decreed that any human who fell into their realm would be imprisoned in the depths of their castle dungeon.

Through a sky the colour of wet slate they fly towards each other on dark invisible wings, searching, searching, doubling back, drawn by hope and longing, baffled by fear.

[floweycidal]

i feel like ur opinion on who chara dreemurr was as a person is entirely hinged on how you interpret these lines

my favorite thing about undertale is how interpretative everything is. it’s why i believe the fandom’s thrived so much

there aren’t any confirmation for a lot of things, only hints.

and chara is a character (heh) that defies easy categorization because of this

one minute they're getting halos drawn over their head, the next they're public enemy number one. 

are they good? bad? gray?

we get so hung up on the morality aspect of chara that we forget the most important thing of all, they were a person. 

a person— child.

a child that hasn’t had the years to work through it or even atone for the hurt they caused. 

a child that did not know love before they fell to the underground. 

a child, raised in darkness, suddenly thrust into sunshine. it's blinding, overwhelming. 

foreign. 

after poisoning asgore, their only reaction was to laugh. now, you can depict this in any way you like, but to me, it was an honest mistake. and chara's laughter was more of a nervous reaction. they probably couldn't fully grasp the gravity of their actions. this wasn’t an instance of them maliciously reveling in asgore’s suffering. i simply cannot see it that way no matter how hard i try

the dreemurrs were unlike any of the humans they knew. they genuinely loved and cared for chara who just… didn't know how to react or cope with it in a way most would consider "appropriate"

and actually! when you’re up against snowdrake’s mom:

chara expects frisk to laugh, just like they did when their dad got poisoned. it's horrible to look at. it's terrifying. but all they can do to cope is laugh

they FULLY expected frisk to do so too, but frisk just.. Doesn’t. 

chara was a human that found a family where they least expected it. they weren’t devoid of any good. they weren't so despondent.

they had hope in their eyes.

they were determined to liberate monsters

and having alrdy been hailed as the "hope" of monsterkind by their family n being the completionist (love this trait abt them btw) that they were:

they were going to see this through. push all the limits. use all means. they will have power.

this is where things get muddy.

chara is a creature of reason. their decision to poison themselves and die, allowing asriel to absorb their soul, was, in their view, the most optimal and effective choice. there was no future left for chara on the surface anyways. there was also no straightforward method to obtain a human soul. each realization logically led to the next until everything seamlessly aligned.

their plan kicked off and started going their way. they intentionally carried their own lifeless body and headed to their village, fully anticipating the reactions they'd provoke. they had hoped to show asriel just how horrible humans are. they had hoped that by doing this, asriel would understand. the reason why humans must all be eradicated.  

but to their utter shock, asriel resisted; he never fought back.

emotion foiled their plan, resulting in their own demise and that of their beloved brother. their sacrifice was for naught, the prospect of making peace between the two races has been tossed aside, irretrievably diminished.

asriel was right. chara wasn't exactly the greatest person. however, him acknowledging they weren't does not necessarily imply them to be a fervent force of evil (and i also think he meant it as in, he LITERALLY used to believe chara was the SINGLE greatest person, but eh, technicalities)

they were a flawed person, who died as such. they've made an abundance of bad choices in how they handled their trauma but that doesn't exempt them from redemption. especially not in a game that focuses on mercy and unconditional kindness and forgiveness and and and

and you know what? pacifist is their redemption. they don't rlly do anything that explicit in this route but. the silly narrations. the encouraging words frisk hears during asriel's boss fight. how frisk was able to save asriel and call out to him. i like to believe it was all chara. they've seen you prove that humans can be good too and with that..... they became a tool to free monsters, just as they had always intended :-]

basically the combined version of the two

also prunsel jumpscare

+ my au? stuff

dreemurr siblings:

Kris, 15, autism they/them

Chara, 19, npd, bpd, he/they, crutches due to struggle to stand from flower poisoning

Asriel, 20, adhd he/him

Frisk 18, autism, they/she/he, blind

plus in frisk's friend group: Dess Holiday and G. Kid, older sibling of MK (kris's classmate)

[jonahmagnus]

That post did NOT format correctly and now I have to rewrite it I am SO mad

Sigh. Headcanons under the cut

I think that Frisk is blind and thats why Chara is narrating everything. Its similar in the deltaruneiverse. I had more but unfortunately my post refused to format and Im having to rewrite it.

They looked a lot more alike as kids. Well, as alike as they can look with Chara being whiter than craft paste.

"Wheres Asriel" dw abt it hes right here

Emo phase

Alright thats it peas and love ☮️✌️🕊

[grumpyghostdoodles]

Say, if the Dadyrus AU has Suzy/Susie and Noelle, then what about Berdly? Is he doing anything in the AU? And what about Dess?

He is very much in the AU! Idolized Chara for years, and Man, If he had interacted with Chara even just ONE time, he would have seen that theyre just a goober, a bookworm hermit, a self sacrificial cryptic with a heart of gold!

*pulls up glock* and I better not see anybody tag this as ship, Chara ad Asriel are in college, they are ADULTS. This is an "I aspire to be this cool" type of deal, alright? not a crush

(Chara did not get nauseous bc theyre already a void monster, void goo its not toxic to them! And theyre all fine, its just like if you licked a bit of battery acid: horrible mouthfeel, but overall okay if it was just a lilbit if it)

Loved loved LOVED this ask so much, thank you!!

[soul100]

Chara hurt her eyes when fell to underground. So, their eyes were deleted to get rid of possible infections.

Flowers had grown upon her grave and other humans fell safer than Chara did.

Kind of curious, you know how Mad Mew Mew does the soul Split in her fight how do you interpret it in your au.

Like if Mad Mew Mew use it on Kanako and Asriel, will it temporarily separate Kanako and Clover and with Asriel/ Chara.

Tumblr, stop trying to eat the asks that people send me >:(

Anyway. So Mad Mew Mew. Before explaining how the soul works, let me explain something first. So you guys know how Clover and Chara can see and interact with each other because they are spirits, right? Well, there are another four people who can see them. The Ruins Dummy, Napstablook, Mad Dummy/Mad Mew Mew, and Mettaton, because they are all ghosts too.

But why did none of them acknowledge Chara during Undertale? Well, the Ruins Dummy doesn't talk, Napstablook was feeling awkward, Mad Dummy was too blinded by rage to notice Chara and Mettaton didn't say anything to not reveal that he's a ghost monster in a robot body.

But in my AU, Mad Mew Mew acknowledges Chara in her fight. And she uses her powers to make Chara part of the fight.

(This drawing represents Frisk and Chara dodging Mew's attacks in her fight. Just saying, because not everyone has fought Mew.)

How do Mew's powers work? Well, she can use her powers to turn spirits like Chara and Clover, who are invisible spirits, into ghosts like Napstablook. that can be seen and touched by anyone. But since Clover and Chara are fused with Kanako and Asriel, respectively, there's a side effect where a small "chain" connects them, and if Clover and Chara get hurt, Kanako and Asriel will also get hurt, and vice versa. How this "chain" works is that it gives some of the body energy to the spirits to make them a little more physical. at least enough to make them visible and touchable to normal people.

The thing is that normally there's a limit to how far Chara and Clover can get from Asriel and Kanako. But with Mew's powers, that limit is redused because of the "chain".

So, in short, They don't get separated. They actually get forced to stay closer, and if one gets hurt, the other also gets hurt. But because of Mew's powers, Clover and Chara can be seen by other people rather than just the people that they are fused with and other ghosts, and they can be touched by other people that aren't ghosts.

As long as Mew is using her powers. Because Mew has a life of her own, that means that she can't be doing this 24/7. The woman needs to do her live streams.

(This last image is in the vision of a normal person. To show that when Mew stops using her powers, they stop seeing Clover or Chara. They still there, but they can't be seen or touched by normal people.)

I hope that this explanation was understandable.

[carlyraejepsans]

You think monsters develop their leitmotifs as they get older. When they're young it's just kind of a mashup of their parents until it finally becomes their own once they're adults

unironically was gonna make that a whole arc if i ever made the daemo game. they're not an adult by the end of it obviously, but since their storyline deals HEAVILY with them growing past this blind idealization of their parents' pasts (as well as frisk's and that of the other adults around them), and into their own person, with their own friends and their own identity/story, their leitmotifs and musical themes closely reflect and follow that journey.

as for other characters... i don't think character themes are diegetically acknowledged by the story in the way other game elements are, at least outside of comedic 4th wall breaks such as Papyrus'.

however... if they were. considering that we do have an example of a child's theme, along with that of both of his parents, I'm afraid that's not the case. asriel's theme is kind of its own thing, after all. but like i said, i think leitmotifs serve the story, rather than act as an instory mechanic. those places where his theme features in other songs, it's asriel that ties them together by haunting undertale's narrative, not the reverse.
