Rambles about Ink!Sans redesign

Ok, so Ink's new design just came out...

I admit I have that Ninjago's "Series vs Movie design" whiplash all over again. But I guess it's not as hard as that one tho since I can still treat him as the same character just with wardrobe change instead of treating it as different people like I did with Ninjago.

I do kinda curious if this will affect his backstory. Did he started out with the old design but changed into this new one out of practicality since it gives him more freedom in movements? Did he straight up wear the new clothes and the one where he wears the old one was a branching timeline(s)? If it's the former, the new design does give him a hint of maturity if a little bit.

I did say about this redesign will affect the "follow what happpens in meta/real life" nature of my KakeraTale AU but I feel like "the creator (Witch) treat the old design as if it not existed in the first place unless stated otherwise" kind of stuff was a bit too harsh for me now I think about it. Since it's surely not easy of the UTMV community to part with Ink's old design, I kinda think it'll translate in KakeraTale as "This new appearance of Ink (Piece) will be used from now and usage of old one will be restricted to ongoing projects under certain circumstances".

That said, this wouldn't affect Quill Ink (a.k.a. Kakera/WhenTheyCry!Ink) in anyway since they supposedly different characters with even different backstories. I do, however, considering making his pre-Witch design along with some other clothes designs since I canoned that the one he wears right now is quite recent (lets just say pre-Umineko till Ciconia era) so he wasn't always wear that Ink-inspired school boy outfit. Not to mention I actually have this Drakengard's Accord-inspired outfit and a costume for his (admittedly impulsive) appearance in Tart Magica in mind.
