This is a pinned post that I'll keep updating where I'll organize everything :]
If you're a Papyrus fan you might have heard of the Papyrus is Gaster theory.
I did and even though I don't think it'll happen I like how it would compliment papyrus' backstory since he doesn't really have one. It's an interesting concept why not make an AU out of it.
THE STORY
This AU is meant to be a full length comic but I'm still working on the writing before I start it
The main story is set on the past, years before the events of undertale and will explain what exactly led Gaster to shatter across time and space and how Papyrus came to be! It will also fluctuate to the present in a post-pacifist timeline where Papyrus is figuring some stuff out.
MASTERPOST <----
Art and comics are all organized here for easier access! :D
Keep reading for more links and more info
HOW DOES THIS AU WORK? <----
Here I explain the basics of this au :D !
DUBS
Dubbing my little comics is totally fine by me !
As long as there's proper link credit to the orginal post or to this blog :D (also I would love to see any dubs! so don't be afraid to mention me♡)
This post might be useful if you want to dub the comic! I talk about how Papyrus' and Wingdings' voices are different
[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]
Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?
[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*

Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.
Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!
Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

THIS ISN'T COMMON KNOWLEDGE BUT SHOULD BE...ABOUT MEDICAID....
If you ever find yourself in the position of living in the home of a parent who is disabled and requires full-time care and you are their primary caregiver for at least 2 years, and they intend to leave their assets to you after they pass, make sure to transfer ownership of their assets, home/land in your name ASAP...or they will require you to pay back any benefits received and claim those assets even out from under you, as soon as your loved one passes.
This is yet another way that generational assets /wealth are easily taken out of marginalized communities.
It is a loan.
And the sharks circle as soon as your loved one passes.
Here's an article about it:
Decided to add context.
I don't like to talk about it here, because ehh, social media is for my vapid entertainment thoughts for me.
It's a hobby/getaway/ place to get semi-social with strangers and online friends with shared interests, but I don't want anyone else to go through what I am... Of course, this applies specifically to the U.S.'s broken healthcare system.
So, for those who don't know, my mom passed recently. I am an only child with no siblings or children. My whole life during that time was 24/7 care.
She had insurance, but it wasn't enough to cover everything that she needed, so Medicaid was the obvious solution, right?
The government takes care of our disabled elderly who have worked until retirement, right?
It seemed like the routine thing to do, I had never heard anything during the process about having to pay it back,but sure enough, less than 12 weeks after her passing, I was hit with a warning (which I followed up on and was told I would NOT be charged because of my caregiver status) and then 2 weeks later the "bill".
The lady I spoke to, totally changed her attitude from the first time I spoke to her to the point where I felt scammed. Out came a patronizing voice certain people use with children, that measured whiny thing (it's always a red-flag to me and makes me instantly dislike you if you do this even with kids, btw... speak to kids like PEOPLE).
I feel like an idiot.
I have been doing this for over a decade and didn't think to transfer any assets of hers during that time because it *was* hers.
I wanted her to feel as empowered about that as possible.
Not a single soul said I should transfer those assets to keep this from happening and now I'm facing down what feels like some kind of weird conspiracy to take the land and house.
FYI, there have been weird inquiries, the census came to mark down my mother's death literally *immediately* after she passed...and odd timing called the day of the notice to "help", with all the southern Christian signifiers (bless your heart we'll be praying for you)....
It feels so seedy.
Anyway, all this to say if you find yourself in a similar position....
TRANSFER THOSE ASSETS INTO YOUR NAME 2 years into caregiving or they will take them from you, house etc..
Sorry if someone asked before, but I was wondering if you're planning to release the comic as a printed version once it’s finished.
(I'm not sure if I would be able to buy it because of shipping costs, but I'd love to support your work and have this as a physical copy 😄)
Hello! Unfortunately printing and sending physical copies would be way too expensive but I'll probably make it available to download from my ko-fi page
it's not the same as holding a real thing in your hands but you know how it is 😅
Hi everyone! Welcome back to your regularly scheduled end of week report. Not too much going on in this one but I now have a general time frame for when I hope to get the next update out so that's exciting! (1-2 months from now!)
Next Update (Chapter 3 & 4? Maybe?):
Intro Scene (if not on music fest route): 100%
Music Fest Routes (Solo, V, and Amara): 100%
Club Pyre Path: 96%
August Part 2 Electric Boogaloo: 0% (not started)
Avoid Death (Eventually?): 0% (not started)
Work Time! (End of Chapter): 0% (short outline, not started)
I'm reasonably sure I can finish the club path within the next 2 weeks (hopefully, fingers crossed nothing happens to change that).
After that, I'm going to edit, code, and test everything, and once that's done I'll go ahead and release it for all of you to play! Still not sure if I'm going to end the chapter there or not but either way, I've decided that I want to publish it. Wouldn't want to keep y'all waiting too long for the next update now would I? 😉
I'm sorry guys. I've just not been feeling well mentally for a good while.
Nothing serious, I promise you! 🙏 It's just that I have bouts and even long periods of time where I'm just exhausted and can't find the mental willpower to do anything. I never feel rested. I never have any energy. I never want to take part in anything. I'm just in a constant state of tiredness and depression.
But I am going to do something about it. I reached out and have an appointment so they can find out if there is anything wrong. Honestly, I think it really is just down to not enough sleep. The issue is that I can never get in a mental state of peace.
I'm sorry if this is a lot to take in. I'm actually quite scared, but I'm even more frightened of telling my family about what I'm going through and what I'm doing; only because I'm scared of them worrying.
I love the way you portray the WH characters! Since you really portray them in a way that it fits their canon personalities and character! I have seen in most WH fanart and media related of it and people make them way too out of character :') or in a way their behavior doesn't make sense. I really love how you keep in mind how they are canonically! thank you! ♡︎
The funniest thing about SMTB to me now is that all the earlier chapters felt so long to write and they are all between 12-16 pages but then all the later chapters are clocking in at 20-29 and I'm forcing myself (and these morons) to shut up and try to break the chapters into shorter ones instead. And yet!
Missed a lot of streams so I'll try and queue some clips later when I can! Been touching grass (and I recommend other folks do it too if they're feeling overwhelmed / burnt out or just feeling bad in general)
just a heads-up, I'm not going to be very active these coming two weeks because I'm going on a work trip and I'm taking some time off afterward! but fear not, I won't leave you starving—I've got 4 translations lined up in my queue until I get back ✧ദ്ദി( ˶^ᗜ^˶ )
