#anyway Its Gaster. lol

[deltaruminations]

i think about this a lot… if you backtrack in queen’s mansion you can find a swatchling outside kris’s room who says this. they aren’t talking about spamton here. spamton’s room was catty’s (confirmed by a different swatchling standing outside her door), and his name clearly hasn’t been erased. they talk about him openly.

a different guy… name unknown… used to live (or at least own a room) in the mansion but no longer does… same room as kris. the swatchlings know his pronouns but not his name�� weird stuff

[marsbotz]

kralsei is like the weakest of the main three hero ships BUT it also has some special sauce to it that appeals directly to me in the sense that they are both bigger than the story currently and know more than theyre letting on. separately

Happy birthday to this absolute homewrecker

I wonder if darkners were viewed with infrared, would they look like objects or like themselves....

This isn’t saying you shouldn’t write bad or sad stories or anything, but from Gaster’s perspective as a character in those stories of course he’d want “happy” endings, haha.

But anyway, I kept telling you guys that when Handplates was over I would tell you. Well... here we are. After seven long years, here we are.

When I started I never thought I’d make it. To be honest, it doesn’t feel real to me at all. My brain still expects to do another page in about two weeks as it always does. I assume it’ll take a while to sink in. There’s a lot to say but this post is already incredibly long (sorry), so it’s probably suited to its own post.

But for all of you out there who read this story, whether you were there from the beginning or just came in now, thank you so much. And for all of you that were inspired by this comic, who created things for it, who blessed me with so many amazing gifts of art and fic and music and dubs and videos and so much more... I don’t know how to thank you enough. I never dreamed that an idle idea could have come this far or had such an impact on my life and so many people, but it did.

I kind of feel at a loss for words... again it’s very surreal. But I will say that Gaster wondering whether the kid is an actual human or not has an unintended level to it since my avatar is a fox but it’s TOO LATE NOW I GUESS lol.

( About how it’s a long, long, long journey that we’ve been on And it’s a long long long story that shall be told And it’s a long long day, and we’ve come a long long way But there’s still a long way to go

It’s a long long long way It’s a long long strong way It’s a long long long way Forward - [x] )

I’m very interested to hear your Gaster interpretation as someone who likes to make my own!

Okayokay long ramble incoming- Kind of a mix of my Gaster lore and the Skelebros since they're kind of intertwined for my stuff --- I'll try to break up the paragraphs with doodles so it's not just a block of text

My version of Gaster is a mix between the usual crazy scientist interpretation and also someone who just really really wants to be a parent. (there is an appeal to the version of Gaster that's just.. Awful and creates the skelebros as experiments, but I wanted to go for a little of a more wholesome approach for my lore cuz I feel like they've been traumatized enough lol)

There aren't any other skeletons in the underground except for Gaster, though, and also I headcanon him as aro/ace so he was like. Yeah I'll figure something out on my own. SO! Inbetween working on the Core and trying to find ways to break the barrier, he did studies in his own time on SOUL magic to find out if it was possible to create life only using the SOUL magic of a single monster (rather than the usual two). His research on how to break the barrier overlapped some with this research so he get away with using the royal science lab/materials/etc for it.

Some science junk, blah blah, he found that it could be possible- if he took a chunk out of his own SOUL. And I suppose probably also the chunks out of his hands to provide the physical material necessary (Can thank Handplates for that idea). And that was a sacrifice he was willing to make for Science and also Child.

(The next section is copy-pasted directly from my lore google doc)

Gaster was cautious with his experiments for his first attempt. He didn’t want to risk a huge chunk of his soul on a first try that he thought would surely abort itself, so he only used a little bit, plus the extra soul power he was able to create through his own desire to have kids and probably some sketchy magic injection type stuff.

However, the first attempt didn’t abort. Despite his hesitancy and being sure that this first run would just be a proof of concept, or to just to figure out where things could possibly go wrong and how to fix them (he did all the calculations beforehand and everything, of course, but real life never plays out like the simulations), the soul actually took and began to create itself. He grew it and took care of it in an incubator in the lab, and during this time he slept at the lab a LOT, terrified that something would go wrong if/when he wasn’t there. As time went on and the soul & vessel it created became more stable, he got a little less freaky weird about being away from it for short periods of time.

  I guess probably this process takes about 9 months because??  That’s how long it takes to build a whole skeleton with magic soul power probably?  Idk man.  Anyway because they’re magic skeletons and there’s no reason to ‘birth’ (read: remove from the incubator) the soul & vessel before its able to support itself (unlike humans, who are all born premature because our heads would be too big otherwise) the new skeleton usually starts trying to become independent (get born) around the developmental size that humans would associate with a 1 or 2 year old.  

And thus Sans was created!  Gaster feels extremely guilty that Sans is so weak because technically it’s his fault for not committing more of his soul to him but he’s so so happy to finally have a kid and does everything in his power to keep Sans safe despite his weaknesses and help him learn how to navigate around them (Including sleeping to regain above max HP!)  

When Sans got old enough to kinda do his own thing around Gaster (like 5 or 6?) Gaster decided it was time to make another kid for a number of reasons: 

To redeem himself scientifically: He had proof he could make a living being, but with Sans he’d hesitated and Sans suffered because of it.  He wanted to make another who was more healthy

To give Sans a sibling: Both because Sans seemed kind of lonely and because he figured they would be able to keep each other safe that way- when they got older the sibling could help protect Sans and ‘make up’ for his disabilities by being able to help him out (Gasters view on it- I used airquotes deliberately. People with disabilities can function just fine on their own. Gaster sees Sans' disabilities of a failing of his (Gaster) own so he views it more negatively because he feels guilty about it.)

Because he wanted to: Gaster always wanted at least two kids and now that Sans was a little more stable and independent Gaster could handle the responsibilities & time dedication of having another little one around

And so Gaster did the whole thing again, but took a bigger chunk of his soul this time and probably more sketchy soul injection things to create more soul power.

And blah blah 9 months of waiting and sitting around in the lab being anxious and BAM!  Papyrus is born!

The boys grew up mostly in the lab and around it since Gaster was so involved in his work, but Toriel and Asgore babysat sometimes too (Papyrus’ memories of the ‘green’ but not remembering Toriel because he was too little).  Gaster was a super involved parent as well, and even hired Alphys as an assist in the lab so he didn’t have to spread himself so thin with work and his kids.  (Alphys only worked on vague assistance type stuff, which is why after Gaster got shattered across time she had no recollection of the deeper workings of the Core or of Gaster’s studies- anything that wasn’t erased with Gaster was really vague surface-level stuff)

As time went on, Sans got interested in the science that Gaster was doing.  Sans and Papyrus hung out at the lab a ton, especially as they got a little older and didn’t need quite as much direct adult supervision.  Mostly Sans just watched after Papyrus, but occasionally he’d watch Gaster work instead or in addition.  Gaster taught him as best he could at an age appropriate level, and so Sans ended up something of a scientific prodigy.  Papyrus didn’t take the same interest & spent most of his time pretending to be a knight and/or learning magic instead.  Gaster taught both of them how to fight & how to use magic in his own homeschooling sort of curriculum (Reason why no one knew them before they showed up in Snowdin- they stayed pretty much just around the lab & the castle)

Oh, also, the cracks in Gaster’s skull appeared after each kid!  Because splitting his soul weakened his magical ability it also weakened his physical form somewhat so he got more brittle.  Sans’ soul piece caused the split down his eye to his mouth, and Papyrus’ caused the one from his eye up his skull- bigger & worse because 1. He was already more fragile after having Sans and 2. Papyrus was a bigger piece of his soul

When Sans was 17 and Papyrus was 11, Sans had been actively helping around the lab and the Core for a few years.

Gaster and Sans were running around the core performing some routine maintenance or something but someone didn’t get the memo that they were in the sector that they were in and started rearranging the Core (as you do.  Literally it’s part of how the place works the hallways get rearranged)  Sans was a little behind Gaster because he’d been fixing up some wires or something and so when he went to catch up he saw what happened next but couldn’t do anything about it.

Gaster was stepping between sectors when the rooms shifted.  He had one foot on the next sector and one on the previous, so when they detached and swung out he got flung.  Directly into the Core.  And was shattered across time and space.

When Gaster got disintegrated across time he took people’s memories of Sans and Papyrus too-  Because they shared parts of his soul, they occupied the same parts of people’s memory as Gaster did, which was all overwritten after the Accident.

Sans and Papyrus also forgot most of their direct ties to Gaster- they remembered having a dad, being raised, the things they learned (magic, schooling, etc) but not anything about their dad, or what he did, or who he was.  Directly after the Core Accident, Sans woke up at their house in the Capital (where Gaster and the boys technically lived when they weren’t all at the lab), only remembering that his dad was gone- but not how, or why- and when he dug in his mind for what his dad looked like or who he was, he got a headache and gave up.  Papyrus was also home.  To the best of their collective recollection and filling in gaps with assumptions, their dad had died, maybe recently?  And now they were on their own.  They had no income anymore, or maybe at all ever?  And they couldn’t afford to stay where they were.  The capital is expensive, after all.  And…  And this house was for royal officials and their families anyway, they weren’t supposed to be there.  They made up the idea that they’d been allowed to live there to get back on their feet after their dad’s death (the king is generous, after all) since the place had been vacant anyway and the king/queen/someone official had felt bad for them.  

So they moved to Snowdin!

Aaaand the next chunk of the doc is on the Skelebros so I'll spare you of it since that's not what you asked. Tbh most of this is probably more than you asked but thank you for giving me the opportunity to ramble!!

[bukyooo]

He would love a therapy even tho he doesn't need it :]

Oh!

its ok angel! gaster can keep u company (he wont. hurt u, probably)

[oliverr-gardenn]

its driving me INSANE how close tenna was to going down the same path as spamton and jevil.

he was SO close to spiraling to madness, im just shocked that he didn't get a visit from gaster like spamton or jevil (bc lets be real, the man that drove them to insanity IS gaster) (theres literally nobody else that could be)

Tenna had it all: he was incredibly lonely and desperate. he was sad, hopeless and basically at rock bottom. he was abandoned by the lightners, just like spamton and jevil were. all it would've taken for him to be like them was ONE mysterious call from gaster and he'd lose it all.

but he was saved, be it be because he was luck or the fact that kris opened up the dark fountain in their house.

anyways lol just wanted to ramble about the funny tv man bc. oh my god. he has invaded my brain.

[returntosunder]

HOLY HECK, WE CAN INFO DUMP ABOUT OUR AUS HERE?!?!?! /Pos

Okay! Me and my sibling made an Au together called Dragontale, and imma dump the lore here. We've decided that there wasnt really a war, but since monsters have two forms, their usual monster form and a dragon form, humans began becoming dragon hunters, so the monsters hid underground to stay safe!

Most of the main og cast were the original hiders, like Asgore, Toriel and everyone's favorite character to debate on, W.D. Gaster! Sans and Papyrus were still lil guys back then though, so they don't really remember the change from above to underground.

Monsters can still technically go above ground, it's just very unsafe, so nobody really leaves.

Oh yeah, Undyne and Alphys were born underground lol.

Chara and Frisk are probably the only humans to have ever fallen, Chara being adopted by the Dreemurs and dying in some way we haven't decided on yet. Frisk is really interesting, cause they grew up in an orphanage hearing magical tales of dragon hunters, leading to them wanting to become a hunter as well, but once they fell down and actually met the dragons that they've wanted to kill for so wrong, they had a DRASTIC change of heart!

Color schemes for horns and tails, which all monsters have in their normal form, is based on soul traits, for example, Sans has yellow and light blue things! Dragons are usually that big, usually a wingspan can go from 10-45 feet, depending on the size of the monster.

Also, we've sorta based the dragon designs off of WoF dragons hehe, like, Undyne is seawing based, W.D. is Nightwing based, and all that :) /INFODUMP :D

Anyways, this is really long lol, but we've recently started up an ask blog as well! @ask-dragontale if your interested /nf

Erm, I really admire you, thank you, bye! <3 /p /POS

DRAGONSSS OMG I LOVE DRAGONS!!!

OMG I LOVE YOUR SANS AND PAPYRUS DESIGNS!! THEY ARE SO CUTEE!!!!

So they can shift into bigger dragons? Omg im now just picturing tiny frisk or chara on dragon Tori and its so cute oml

Now that I think bout it, do the monsters have much room to actively shift to dragons? Cause living underground, i can imagine is kinda cramped, and they can't really fly as bigger dragons :(

This is such a cool idea I actually love it, Ty for sharing this ^^

GUYS I LOVE READING YALLS AUS THEY ARE SO COOL IM CRYING /VPOS

[buubonita]

budbonita. fellow horrortale connoisseur. opinions on the horrortale game that came out this jolly holly eve,,,,,,, me personally i am very calm and relaxed (eye twitch) 🙂

Hello, Tryglybud! Its good to see you again in my ask box :3c okay lets het to the point shall we?

THERE IS SPOILERS ON THIS, so have that on mind before READING!!!

WARNING FOR child death mention, decapitation mention.

That said (rubs my little fly hands)

If there's one thing I really liked about Horrortale is that SAS takes elements from the original game and re-routes them to fit the story. The charm of Horrortale is that it's precisely an alternate timeline that you can believe will happen without problems. A neutral route that turns into the living hell of monsters.

Anyway, now to point out the little things I liked.

The dark twist of Sans' Iceezs puzzle! In the original the joke is that you can't find any of the words that are written (the fucking puzzle is not doing the puzzle if you want to pass it. It's literally doing nothing lol) but here you literally HAVE to find the words to advance. I found it funny because if you've played UT your first instinctive action is to do nothing! It's like that Papyrus puzzle and the colored tiles that you don't expect to be relevant and then it turns out that it was! Just cute, thanks SAS.

The music! the overall atmosphere is super eerie and ominous, the opening song for waterfall is simple and sounds like still water. It gives you the feeling that you're in dead ground. Like the genocidal route in waterfall and its theme, but again, SAS USES the game's foundations and directs them into their own story YYYYYY OUAGHAHA I LOVE IT! Do you think Aliza inhales the dust in the air while walking?

Goner Kid!'s dialogue is literally a reversal of what one of Gaster's followers says about living in a world where everything is exactly the same but you don't exist in it. In this case, SAS AGAIN redirects and gives new meaning to phrases and details from the game for Horrortale.

The underground would probably have been saved if Sans didn't exist, that is, if Sans had decided to die for all of them! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH I'M REALLY SMILING LIKE A LUNATIC. I love, LOVE the importance SAS gives to the source material considering Horrortale is a timeline and not an AU! It adds another layer of depth and reinforces the plot a lot; you who played the game and knew the story and grew fond of these characters are now witnessing the suffering that YOU as a player caused in one of your games!

Onion san submerged in that pit of black water was scary, I really expected him to come out of there to kill me when I first saw him (and I wanted that to happen, for him to jump out and kill us why not? >:3). His exchange with Aliza is sweet and adorable considering how scary he managed to look at the beginning haha. Horrortale is still a sad story even though it has scary elements.

The painting on the wall of waterfall reminded me of that thing Alphys created to rip out Horror's magic eye, although the description says it seems to be from a creature. It's probably ambiguous on purpose.

Aliza's deaths are brutal. I died with River Person for the first time and I felt bad for Aliza, poor thing was stripped down to the bone! A gruesome death. The rabid Temmies! I loved that they were included, their dialogue is simple but works well and feels in character. She was decapitated, MY POOR GIRL! Devored, impaled, drowned, this girl wont stop going through the most horrorific DEATHS!

And that's another thing with Horrortale, they all feel in character just like their original versions! Sans is still a joker, only his psychosis has made him more violent, more sadistic and prone to darker humor (I'd eat Horrortale's little black humor animated shorts with fries). He also keeps the tendency to beat up children, his character is consistent and that's why he's my favorite.

There's such a thick and obvious parallel with Aliza and Horror when he says "how much do you think your life is worth?" I mean, if he's on her case maybe it's because he wasn't in her shoes for long (although Aliza doesn't wear shoes!)

And I'm not saying Killer or Dust aren't, they're also wonderful in their own way but they're maybe very different approaches, but they work (and I love them too, believe me).

My only complaint with this little game is that it's very short once you figure out all the puzzles! But I can't complain when we get more of the comic in JANUARY (my birthday month!!). I look forward to more story and seeing more characters soon. This was a little treat i will treasure with all my heart.

General rant involving personal matters and past trauma, check tags for reference.

As much as I enjoy tumblr, I find that anytime I use it I am doomed to come across things I don’t like. I mean, thats a given, but when its past the “2016 ship and let ship phase” of the internet, it gets tiresome. “Why cant we bring back 2015 internet when everyone was chill with random incest?” because most of us were barely pushing middle school and most definitely didn’t know better. Call it a failure of the adult fanbase, introducing amino and tumblr and deviantart to many young and impressionable people that came to see it as normalized. Thankfully, most of us have moved on and realized the faults of the past- our parents, or a lack thereof- and the enablers of the fandom that got away scot free.

It comes as no surprise that me, and many others, are not particular fans of the “solygbm” story, with its slander of characterization- Sans a rapist, Grillby a pedophile, abuse fetish, and ever so diligent self inserting of the author. Thats not to slander it- if you’re into the taboo, just indulge responsibly in designated areas is all I ask. I do come to find it repulsive though, as a “victim” to it. You would think that even as an ex frans and sans fangirl, I’d be more tolerant to it. Well, ex proshipper, as result of 7-10 years sca. The amino incidents… did make it worse but hey, character development or something.

It was never something publicly shared or indulged in- I think I knew better- but god did it fuck me. I do indeed blame the incest I was exposed to as a child, apparently was so normalized to the fault I hadn’t realized it until maybe, 13-14. Once hating that I’d become the example every anti use(proship affects young people and reality yadda ya). But there is such a fortunate truth in that argument. Thankful to god I had a mother who supported me through it all, god bless her sweet heart. Regretting the things I was enabled in- yea, looking at you RivenSkies on Amino. Imma catch you one day, you and that guy who harassed 12 year me for drawing humanized Rarity in random deviantart outfits.

Besides those faults, the problem with aus and is that one really can’t disconnect from that part of the fandom, being such a significant fixation and infouence that would issue losing some of my most valued friends. People that I’ve come to trust as of now, which is why I’m fine with people knowing this. I’ve simply decided to, for my own sake, stray away from the fandom itself. Undertale AUs, I mean.

Fiction is such a major component of reality. If I physically didn’t feel myself cringe and my heart sink a little lower every time I stumbled upon- and you know who you are- a frans post, when I’ve done what I can to reduce the sight from my mind, then I wouldn’t argue that fact so much. But it really does. Especially when its characters you have watched and mimicked for such a large majority of your life. Let’s face it- every fandom is fucked up. It seems the more innocent the game the more dubious its fans are. I really cant figure it out why but honestly, the aus and stories are the main factor keeping this fandom alive. Thats the charm of it all.

Anyway, backtracking from my thoughts on this favorite fandom of mine. I’ve decided that for my own sake, I spend a bit less time on this platform. Even all its gifts and glory, I really just can’t risk my happiness for something so rapant in the fandom. Im thankful for the people who have made this experience the best it was. Sorry if I scared anyone, this sounds awfully lot like a goodbye note LOL. Just expect activity to be ~3/4 times a week, short spurts of checking in and saying hi. Instagram- with Tiktoks awauted ban and increase of dubious content(cant search up anything without seeing 🌽), has became my safe haven. I have a larger audience, more actives oomfs, so much content to explore and hopefully better filtered tags. Feel free to reach me, whether on Insta or just here.

Final note! I will be posting all chapters of Don Dew here soon given the risk of ao3 being banned as well. I also barely use the latter and prefer what I’m used to. Thank you for reading ^_^

[deltaruminations]

i was bitching in my drafts about gaster fanon and fans using “b-b-but undertale’s timeline, papyrus seems too young” to argue against skelebro gaster as if undertale’s implied timeline relative to characters’ age-coding/environmental storytelling/etc. makes any fucking sense in the first place when interpreted via the rules of Real World Logic (i don’t really think it does, nor does it need to) and i probably won’t post that stuff because it’s needlessly salty and annoying. BUT i have decided that if we’re going to insist on Facts And Logicking about how long it “realistically” takes for a talking skeleton with a doctorate to arrive from an alternate universe, build a geothermal power plant, explode himself into the fourth dimension, then be replaced by an anthropomorphic lizard who creates a number of terrible abominations and proceeds to hide them long enough in her basement that it becomes an Even Bigger Problem etc. then i think we might as well file Sans And Papyrus Apparently Not Aging During This Time under “shit that might make more sense if they’re actually darkners.” like if we’re gonna overthink this then let’s overthink it. you know

[kozykricket]

anyways

ive rambled about this before, but i wanna ramble about it again. gaster is the true self insert of toby fox. chapter 4 (and secret stuff) spoilers warning just uh. yeah. be warned

so like, ive said before... that i think, well. okay. first of all gaster is the one who takes over the twitter account, who seems to be like... creating deltarune. thats a blatant parallel, but yknow thats more of. toby pretending to be the guy whos behind whatever deltarune is. but it goes pretty deep, with the whole Royal Sciences LLC and survey program being version 6.6.6 or whatever but I've always said... I think...

I think this can be interpreted as a sort of metaphor for toby fox falling into the creation of deltarune/undertale. i mean, he had a fever dream of the ending of deltarune, and thats brought him on more than a decade of a journey to create that game, even making another in the process. but like, i dunno. maybe this was a bit far-fetched to say. (though, this video (even if its out of date now) goes into some parallels between gaster and game developers. especially with how toby talks about being a game dev... turning him into a monster so to speak, lol)

but like. okay. his creation. why would that be anything like a game. in ch4, when The Old Man is talking about Lord of The Hammer... he says...

and, yknow, considering this is literally about writing, and . toby is the author first and foremost for these games... i think thats just, yknow, laying it down more clearly. i imagine gerson was probably written with a lot of like, tobys own experiences as a writer in mind! Not to say hes quite as much of a self insert, though. I guess at that point you can say *every* character is toby, since he writes them lol. but i think he put a lot of himself into the way gerson is spoken about, at least.

and then

at the end of chapter 4, who gives a heartfelt speech about the future of deltarune? well, gaster does. but its very clearly tobys feelings, too.

[block-tales-headcanons]

the deltarune brainrot and block tales brainrot worms are fighting and the block tales brainrot is winning. anyways i finally managed to word out my Ultimate embodiment hc maybe [note this comes from the fact that hatred was confirmed to be the voices' effects on the player i sure do hope this isnt a hatred exclusive thing.....but it mostly likely applies to the others too]

all the embodiments feel other 'human' emotions to a certain extent depending on the situation

at the start of their 'creation', they really only felt what they embodied, but over time they began to develop their own person, their own personalities, preferences, habits, and most importantly they slowly began to feel different 'human' emotions!!! yay!!!

obviously they still mainly feel the thing they embody but thats kind of just their neutral state[?] atp idk

every single one of them obviously doesnt know how to handle other human emotions they all have terrible coping mechanisms lmao

the embodiments being created and meant to embody and feel only a certain thing is a parallel to the players destined chosen hero role and also comes from that since they are from the players mind............

ok back to regular hcs

hatred usually rests in that giant heart thing but if she isnt in wrath she curls up like a cat. also on that note she can loaf but shes really embarrassed about it

greed sleeps in the most atrocious sleeping positions like the player sometimes

fear most of the time sleeps 'standing' up, probably sleeps flat on the floor sometimes but thats a little uncomfortable for her

actually in nirvana hatred and the ancients would have insane beef at first but would be chill with each other eventually

the ancients use they/them pronouns not because theyre non binary, but because theyre literally multiple gods /ref

i think the ancients would be very curious and observant of people they find interesting [gaster ass character.....i see you the ancients........"VERY VERY INTERESTING"......"I LOOK FORWARD TO CREATING A NEW FUTURE WITH YOU." "OUR WORLD'S BEAUTIFUL METAMORPHOSIS".......i know what you are............]

also i retract my statement on greeds body temperature he would be a little cold

the ancients WOULD display some bird-like behavior it would be really cool and awesome and i would specify if i knew anything about birds lol

anyways i NEED to study the ancients character more theyre already really similar to the player and hatred......ill probably explain somewhat further if people r interested. also i just realized ralseis character arc in chapter 4 might have fueled my ultimate embodiment hc and helped to word it out.........if my ultimate embodiment hc gets deconfirmed in some way somehow i WILL start crying i think it makes the embodiments characters so so soo much more interesting than like them being purely just a characteristic. or something. once i figure out how to word an entire document on the embodiments characters its over for everyone /j

- 🌫️ anon

thats a lot of brainrot from one post

[acaciapines]

been reading your deltarune fics (not all of them at once, of course, because i dont think my body could take that much crying) and god they are so good. I love how you articulate the interplay between the characters, all of them wanting and trying so desperately. Its great.

anyway I've been thinking about Dess the Knight and Dark Worlds in general and god theres so much interesting stuff. One thing that i noticed and i dont think ive seen anyone else talk about is how the intros to Castle Town and the TV Dark World are similar - with the wiggly things, the eyes, the poofs of dust/snow/whatever - but they dont appear in other dark worlds, namely Cyber World or the Church. But then there's also Susie's Dark World and how the entrance to that is changed, too, with different lighting and similarities (probably due to its proximity to another Dark Fountain) but it still feels different. Makes me wonder if the person who creates a Dark World leaves a mark on it, a signature, a stain, and if we might be able to extrapolate info about who's done what from it. Because that implies Kris made the fountain in the school's closet, yet someone else made the fountain in the classroom beside it. But its still just theory stuff.

Also Dess. I love her so much. #1 narrative haunter, especially if Kris's promise is tied to her. I've seen a few different ideas on what happened to her but my current idea is she was amalgamated - distorted by determination into something that's alive, maybe, but not itself anymore, not really. The theory is she was interrupted while making a fountain, and in doing so the determination had nowhere to go, so it went back to her. Works well if Gaster's the mastermind behind whatever is going on and he's got Carol under his thumb - he's worked with Determination in the true lab, so if theres anyone who could help undo that, its him. (If this Gaster is the same one from Undertale, of course, but with the games having so many parallels its hard to think otherwise). But it also adds another layer to what is going on with her, why she's gone but not dead. Because if she was dead, the right conditions can return her to life with the help of a fountain, but then Kris & whoever they're working with probably wouldn't want the fountains sealed. After all, if she's limited to being under a fountain, the more fountains the better. But Kris has (as of yet) not stopped us from sealing a fountain, so I don't think thats it. Her becoming the Roaring Knight is another really solid theory, with everything surrounding it, but it feels incomplete - the files alluding to someone being lost in the code makes me think that whatever state Dess is in (if that is her speaking) she isn't aware of the outside world. Of course, where the knight fits in in the theory is up for debate - potentially a resident of Dess's failed Dark World that managed to break free, or could be a part of her consciousness that's merely trying to find the rest of itself, or it could even be Carol or Rudy or someone else. Who knows? (Toby Fox).

Anyway gotta say I love your work and am looking forward to whatever ideas you share next :3

aww, thank you! yeah i LOVE interpersonal relationships lol its sooooo much fun for me. its about everyone being wrong and right and nobody being able to fully explain to each other <3 its about how you can love someone and hurt them and all the messy ways life can manifest.

i did notice that!!! especially w/ susie's dark world having its own distinct colors and such i do think theres a lot to ponder on here...even if kris didnt open castle town (which i personally feel like they didnt lol but who knows) the person who DID clearly shares Something in common with them. but for castle town and tv land specifically them sharing those dust-bits and the general like. empty purple landscapes made me wonder if its because both of these dark worlds have been abandoned...a school supply closet that nobody cares about, a tv that's been left unplugged for years. theres nothing 'new' being injected into the world and thus into them--its just a lot of dust.

DESS TRULY IS NUMBER ONE DESS WE LOVE YOU!!!!! im very partial to my thoughts that no matter where she mightve ended up her initial leaving was very much on purpose and i'll take that to my grave <3 maybe shes trapped in a dark world NOW, but she still chose to leave. amalgamated dess is super fun! my favorite dess theory is a similar one in that the knight isn't 'entirely' dess aka its like, her dust or memories or something made by maybe carol? in an attempt to get dess back that failed, and now whatever plan carol's got is related to bringing her back but this time for real guys this time its gonna work--

i also LOVE the dess being the voice in the code idea. i thiiiink this can be true even if she's also the knight--either her conciousness has been split or it could just be non-chronological, since dess has been gone for A While--so, voice in the code could be her earlier years, maybe? and the knight stuff is later. thats the vibe i got at least.

thank you again! im not sure when my next deltarune fic will get posted lol...my main project right now is drk but drk wont get posted 'til its all done and current estimates at length are upwards of. yknow. 700k words <3 and we currently have like 38k. but i'm sure i'll be struck by various other ideas in-between!

[omegabitestheriphen]

I present ya ya'll! My design fer a quadsuit m make'n dats also a cosplay 'f a Fresh AU I made a while back. Its called Errored Experiments, and it follows the idea 'f "error is just a glitched future ver of Geno, but what of instead of glitching into the future (error) he glitched into the past (sci)?"

And dats bout all lol....

Ah, sew ya was wonder'n if ders mor ta dis AU's?

Seen as ya looked fer de cut... okie den! Prepare fer a MAJOR info dump via word vomit style!

SO! We begun with a very confused, freshly glitched Error, only he's not an Error, at least not quite.

He looks like Error, and moves like him too, but the similarities end there. This Error, who has dubbed himself Attom, after the humans most destructive bomb, is very much a Sci trapped in an Errors body, yet not. His excess glitching caused him to "revert" to what he was before a glitch, and there for before he was Geno. Which pulled his Sci side out to an EXTREME.

Wich! Is Not A Good Thing.

Because now you have an Error, who is essentially an evil scientist attempting the great thing that may or may not be X-vers Gaster level shenanigans.

And as per the Error ways, Attom sees AU's as anomalies, but not in the traditional Error fashion. Attom believes, with 10000% certainly, that every AU is a protection buffer to defend the original from varents like Ink, from harming its core origin.

And while this means he leaves most AU's alone (when he's not destroying them for... science), he doesn't quite see the people, monsters, and cryptids in them as actual people, kind of like how Ink doesn't see people as people, but as characters like we do.

So what does this mean?

Highly Unethical and Completely Insane, Human and Monster Experiments!

Wich leads to his most prideful (and successful) experiment yet.

Parasite-Host Hybridization and Stabilization.

The Fresh of this AU, F.R.E.S.H, was very unluckily found by Attom out side a host because he was in the middle of a host transfer. To wich Attom looked at the squiggly land dwelling starfish-octopus-lyndwyrm-thing and said-

"Yeah, your coming home with me"

And just- *yoinked* dat mother fuker.

Que the next few years/moths of Attom shoving as many chemicals and magic into F.R.E.S.H as he can to forcibly stabilize thier soul so they could survive with out a host. Untill the day Attom *did* bring back a host for his little parasite experiment and everything whent wrong.

Ya know what happens when you technically torcher a being who, on average has more brain cells than you think with and enough power (given they have a host) to rival, spite, kill and fuk up what would be to you GOD?!

Absolutely fuk'n NOTHING!

Because this Fresh- this Brainwashed lil guy- got fuk'n stalkholm, and I didn't even write that bit! the characters just made it happen and so I said fuk it and rolled with it!

ANYWAY! now you have an Error with the power to rival, spite, kill and fuk up a God at his every beck and call. A massive murder weapon he made for *fun* that would rather the world burn than see him get hurt.

And with that big of an unchecked power comes the cost of an insane egg head ego.

And a few shotgun shells because magic, according to Attom, is-

"Predictable, exhausting and not as much fun as something that's a big ol Boom Stick"

That's also what he calls his shotgun because calling his shotgun a shotgun upsets F.R.E.S.H. And while they do what he tells them to with little question, Attom is very aware that the thing he essentially created could very easily wipe him, and half the existing AU's, out if they wanted or were commanded to.

And that's a VERY scary number.

Half the current, Existing AU's is a LOT of AU's..... and Attom's not quite sure if what he did to make F.R.E.S.H. this dangerous was a good idea. As all the magic and science he stuffed the poor boi with was enough to mutate his hosting process, in turn giving you the 19 hands tall (on all fours) monstrosity that is the creature depicted in this post, makeing F.R.E.S.H a walking power house supported by jangga blocks.

Because take Fresh, amp up his crazy factor, and supe the FUK outa his stat block like a min/max DnD player,

And you get the worlds most unstable yet stable murder bomb who's only off switch is a crazed phyco's attention.

Oh how your name becomes irony,

Attom, with your Bomb.

But in the end, with a little more experimenting on Attoms end + another host or two, F.R.E.S.H ends up being able to shift between a "Skeleton" monster and the form he had before.

All the while Ink has given up trying to stop Attoms Experiments, and the entire multivers lives in fear of the Beast and his Collar.

Of the Error and his Experiment.

Oh and Nightmare and his Lackeys too, though to Attom they're more like anoying pets than anything else. Or toddlers. But Attom would rather not say that as the king of negativity is rather quite dramatic.

And F.R.E.S.H likes thier company.

BTW! F.R.E.S.H. stands for F Rated Entity of Singular Horror.

Wich is Attoms made up science classification for creatures of F.R.E.S.H's nature.

This name translates to-

F Rated : beings or creatures that, when encountered, other monsters say some varent of F-word to describe thier surprise or confusion apon meeting them

Entity is self explanatory

Singular Horror: A rating Attom gives to experiments that are, at the least, heavy body horror in either painful scale or general creepiness, or things that creep/disturb Attom. Wich is VERY hard to do. As such this is a rating that has only been given to two things, F.R.E.S.H, and his Establishment of Overseer Contact experiment.

But that's a story for another time! Because that was the *basic*, of basic idea/blorb of this AU.

Hope ya'll enjoyed! I will answer questions if ya got any so fire away!
