SeasonTale - Chapter 7

TW: Slavery, sickness, abuse I'm not sure how much of this I'll continue. I don't think it'll be as good as my other writing, but I do hope to get all the lore out to you guys sometime. This is not me rejoining the UnderTale fandom. Masterpost

~o0o~

Papyrus was barely alive. 

Undye took it upon herself to protect his dying soul from dusting. The time that passed that week was all a blur to Spring, and his anger that he once felt quickly sunk into a deep despair as he could do nothing about the situation. 

The managers beat them ruthlessly, using their whips and fists to double their workload. The fire from the unhealthy habits of the factory only worsened the air quality. Each day, someone got sick, and they were beat for it. 

It didn’t make any sense to Spring!Sans. Why would they hurt someone for being sick? As far as he could tell, he couldn’t control when he felt unwell. 

Which was all the time, now. 

Spring held a small piece of bread in his hands as he stared at Spring!Papyrus, laying on a bed as his skull was half-dusted. Spring!Alphys held his soul together for hours. Spring thought he heard her and Undye conversing about the workload, with Undye doing twice as much so Alphys could keep Papyrus alive. 

His brother wasn’t breathing. He sat there, his bone slowly reforming and dusting as his chest barely moved. His soul didn’t beat, either. The white heart was clasped in another monster’s hands. Had Alphys let go, he would be nothing but a pile of dust. 

Spring glanced at the bread in his hands before he rested it in one of Papyrus’ hands. “You need it more than me,” he sighed, tears streaming down his face. “Please be okay, brother…” 

There was no reply. Spring!Alphys glanced at him with worry. “Kid, you need to eat that.” 

“I’m not hungry.” 

“That wasn’t a suggestion,” Sp!Alphys insisted. “Eat it.” 

There was another whip crack outside the room. Spring shook his head and gently crawled out of the space, trying not to be spotted by the whippers as he returned to his post, fiddling with the wires. 

Cries of pain and hopelessness echoed through the air, but they were often broken by the crack of whips. They were more prominent than usual, as if their work hours were not enough, they increased them, allowing little time for rest and food. More and more of the workers got sick. Spring had attended to most of them; Papyrus had taught him a thing or two about keeping people healthy, and no one was in these conditions. 

Slavery never allowed for such luxuries as health. 

Spring couldn’t help the tears that fell down his face as he thought of his brother. They fell onto the wires, quenching their sparks. It’s my fault... I’m the reason he’s almost dead... 

He listened closely to Spring!Temmie and Spring!Mettaton’s conversation. They talked about how the ‘big boss’ was coming today. They became hushed about the topic when Spring drew closer to listen in more. The only thing he caught was the big boss being a Gaster of sorts. 

Could it be the same one who sold him for a piece of bread? 

Perhaps the pressure of said inspection is what caused the whippers to be more hostile and picky with the work that was being done by their slaves. It was almost unreasonable and insane to expect better work in worse conditions, but there was no consideration of such a fact. 

Spring gently taped the wires together on the outside of another machine as he coughed the smoke out of his lungs. His hands and feet were hurting again. He was covered in black tar and ash. It burned his skin worse than the flames themselves. There was no time to clean up, however. He had spent his free time checking up on his brother, and he had to face said consequences.

This can’t be all there is... Spring wiped his face, feeling his stomach getting nauseous. He knew he was about to hurl. He stepped away from the wires and walked over to the edge of the platforms, resting his head over the edge as he vomited into the fire. For a solid minute, his stomach desperately tried to search for any nutrients, and when it found none, it shot the acid out of his mouth. 

Spring’s cries of pain were disturbing. He could hear some of his fellow slaves approaching him, but they were pushed aside as the familiar, horrifying steps of a whipper came along. “Get back to work, kid!” The monster grabbed Spring by the scruff and lifted him up, turning him to face him. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?!”

Spring covered his mouth, trying to withhold another puke. No, please, not now—he couldn’t. His body gagged, and his vomit covered the whipper’s face as Spring coughed, tears streaming down his eyes. He looked at the whipper in horror as the goo ran down his face. What have I done? “I’m sorry, I’m sorry I—” 

“You imbecile!” The whipper threw Spring onto the hard pavement, scraping his face. He hurriedly tried to wipe the acid off his face in disgust, cracking his whip. “How dare you defile me?!” 

The whip cracked against Spring’s skull. He cried out in pain as he curled up on the floor, trying to block the whips. Instead of his face, the whips struck his hand, ripping the bones apart as the whipper continued. Blood poured out from them, and Spring whimpered, unable to put his pain into words or a cry for help. 

The whippings suddenly stopped as a loud thud could be heard. Spring hesitantly looked up through the water building up in his skull. 

Spring!Muffet had just punched the whipper in the face. 

She looked at her hands as if she couldn’t believe what she had just done, but that didn’t stop her words from snapping at the abuser. “Pick on someone your own size!” She dared to say. “You’re pathetic for picking on a helpless child! Be a man and choose someone stronger than he!” 

Spring’s eyes widened in fear as he reached out to her. “Muffet, no—” 

The whipper clearly did not find her challenge amusing. He stood up, grunting as rage fumed in his eyes. He cracked his whip to the side. “Own size, eh? Someone like you, then? You know what happens to challengers like you, right?” 

Spring!Muffet’s eyes widened as she raised her hands into fists, all six of them. “To fight for a kid’s life, yes.” 

The whipper raised his whip. It was as if time had gone in slow motion as he slowly brought it down on the monster that saved Spring—

BOOM!

A bright flash of light filled the air. There was a strong gust of wind, sending the whipper flying into the lava below, screaming all the way down. Muffet was also blasted back, barely catching onto one of the railings. Spring was pushed into the wire system, grunting as he tried to stand up, but his hands hurt too much. 

Before him, in the direction that caused a blast, was a bright, white fire. It burned the wood nearby as if it were the sun itself. Who walked out of the fire was someone Spring had never seen. It was too difficult to see, but she looked like Toriel, a similar, shorter type of goat. Her gaze was flat, and she walked with grace. Everything about her glowed like starlight, something Spring had only heard about until now. 

The shouts of the whippers were blurred. They yelled about the hole in the factory before charging at the intruder. “It’s her!” one of the muffled shouts rang through Spring’s ears. “Kill her!” 

One by one, the goat slayed every person that dared to come her way. Despite being hit with some of the whips, they disintegrated on touch. Her hands were surrounded by a white fire, and when she fired at the whippers, they turned into ash immediately. Dozens of them swarmed her, but they were no match for her skills. 

Behind her came a large dragon. It was white, with long eyes, and its head shaped like a gaster blaster. It munched on any whipper or opposer that approached the goat. It was as if it was made from starlight itself. Its gaze turned toward everyone else, turning around to reveal someone on his back. 

Spring’s eyes widened as he observed the little skeleton on the back of the dragon. He… He looks like me. 

The battle waged on, but it was something Spring was in too much pain to notice. He glanced up one more time to find the slaves cheering at some proclamation the white goat gave. She gently approached Spring as everyone rushed out of the factory. 

“Little one,” her voice was more soothing than a thousand ice packs. “Come with me; let me nourish you back to health.” 

Spring weakly looked up at her, his body trembling in pain. He couldn’t form words as the white fire that burned the factory blinded his sight. He reached out his hand, trembling. “B-Brother…” 

“Spring!Papyrus, will be alright. Come with me; you are being rescued and set free.” 

Spring felt her hands wrap around him as she hoisted him up over her shoulder. He didn’t resist as he watched more whippers being reduced to ash. Something about the sight eased his mind, as if they were getting what they deserved. 

The goat climbed up onto the large dragon, saddling it as if she rode it. She held Spring in front next to the other little guy. “Hold on,” she commanded before taking the reigns and flying off. 

Spring watched as the factory went out of sight, getting smaller and smaller as the dragon ascended into the sky he had never seen. His eyes widened in wonder, resting on the beauty of the world before him. The sun greeted him willingly, and suddenly, his soul felt lighter and more at ease. 

Spring had felt hope. 

His hands trembled as he held onto a lower part of the reigns. It took a moment for him to process what was happening, but the cool air felt so good against his skin, he never wanted to leave it. He turned his gaze to the other small skeleton in front of him. The little guy had bruises and thin, snowflake eyes. He was staring right back at Spring the entire time the dragon flew off into the air under the cover of the clouds. He nodded slowly. “Greetings.” 

Spring stared back at him in awe, as if he were looking at himself in a mirror, but a different version of him. Everything was so new, he didn’t know how to process anything that was going on. 

But that didn’t stop him from being polite. His hand trembled as he lifted it in greeting. 

“H-Hello…”

Whats a better way to celebrate the Ten year anniversary of Five Nights at Freddy's than an Art Collage!

Let's start with some old surviving art back in middle school from 2016 -2017

Let's review what my younger self made...

Just some silly rpg character designs for a silly idea in my middle school mind. 🥲

Moving On:

Had a bit of a furry phase right here.

And what you just saw was an old comic based on a YouTube video I saw that would never be finished.

If this video gets 10 notes, I'll make a post of my more recent (and hopefully less cringe) artwork.

[doktor74]

i love how all the drawings are typical fandom stuff and in the middle is just an absolutely gorgeous super realistic biblical art of Shadow

only 2 comments and 35 more likes!! thank you everyone for the help so far!!! help an artist get on vgen!! :3 i need 5 comments and 100 likes to get a code.

[ratsoupee]

If you can't tell what this is due to tumblr compression, this is a roadmap of the seven souls traveling through the underground in my Grouptale/Seventale AU. I shall now take a dog nap because my brain completely shorted doing this.

Some notes:

In a theoratical Seventale game run, the player has a choice to diverge between different groups at certain points of the game where the group gets split up (Seen by the points marked X following Frisk's path). So each run has different scenarios, dialogues and encounters depending on where you choose to go (also making players tempted to restart the game when they get their ending)

Dalv in this au, is just chilling in the ruins. The Integrity soul hits him by accident from getting spooked. You can encounter him again post battle in Waterfall watching the snail race.

When Papyrus springs his bridge trap, the group accidentally falls over and ends up in lower Snowdin, where they play out the Martlet encounter. Martlet ends up helping you back to Snowdin town.

Ceroba in this au doesn't fight with you. She has long given up on finding a cure, but is heavy with grief. Your run with her in Steamworks is mainly you uncovering her backstory, and if you go back to the Dunes after, you can go on a sidequest to help Ceroba heal.

El Bailador is an optional battle wherein you dance to reignite his passion, as Mettaton's fame overthrew his dance stage. After his battle, you can find him again in the Wild East where he's organized a small dance club.

After fighting Asgore and Flowey, the story essentially runs the same, except you also go on additional quests with Martlet, Ceroba and Starlo.

If you have trouble reading the map, here is the individual paths below

Outertale Esha 🌟💜

She was just looking for a small job to get by. Nothing complicated, just something simple on a space station. "Just collect some supplies from a rarely used wing", they said. "Nothing dangerous", they promised. And yes, she believed them...

Esha wandered into that empty corridor, arms full of light crates, when a strange light caught her eye. A shimmer in the air, almost beautiful. (Too) curious, she stepped closer. One poorly placed step. She slipped. And when she opened her eyes… she was no longer on the station. Welcome to EM Field. How was the fall ?

Trivia and arts ↓

Outer!Esha is the second Esha to have accidentally ended up in the EM Field (Underground) as an adult (alongside TS!US!Esha, aka Lady Spring).

She doesn’t have a very deep or complex lore compared to the other Eshas. Outer!Esha is mostly just an sweet version who’s enjoying her new life while waiting for the barrier to break !

She’s the only Esha who turned her singing talent into a profession.

She loves the zero-gravity effect of the EM Field and often floats to relax, admire the sky, and practice singing. It’s rare to see her walking.

Staying in the EM Field for over a year, regularly using her SOUL’s magic, and consuming local food gradually altered her appearance, especially her hair and eyes.

She’s the second extroverted Esha along with Fell, and one of the most similar one with the classic version.

She’s a popular crossover singer and idol, though not quite a mega-star and icon like Mettaton, of course. They’ve done a few collabs together.

Her main music genre is pop, but she likes trying out others like acoustic ballads, techno, rap, or electro-swing.

During performances, she dances while floating mid-air, with a few steps on the ground, making her shows quite fun to watch.

She’s passionate about her career and puts a lot of energy and stress into it, but does her best to make time for her friends.

Her star-shaped hairclip was a gift from Sans, so her hair wouldn’t fall in her face while she’s floating. She hasn’t taken it off since. ⭐

Her signature flower is clematis.

You probably already talked about him like, A LOT, but i like to hear anything about epic sans, the sad guy has a lot of potencial

Qin! Haiii!! Dw I never get tired of talking about Epic, and tumblr is the only place that seems to listen to me.

I'm not going to get tired of saying this but I'm a little fed up with how the fandom literally decided to take Epic as a meme character and not give credit to the little but at least consistent work behind the character.

Can I say that Yugo also didn't help the character by using him for constant shitposts?? I can say it, they are partly to blame too, sorry not sorry.

I'm fine if people do stupid things with the character but it gets to a point where it's irritating to see for me personally. Sometimes I feel like he's a grumpy old woman for having these ideas. When I met him and said that I liked him I remember well that an online user called me stupid for liking such a dumb character and I felt really bad for a while and I didn't want to know about Epic until I found out that Epic is another character misunderstood on a large scale by the fandom and has the bad fortune of being hated by his creator.

Anyway, to the point. I love Epic, he makes up the trinity of my favorite UTMV characters, I love his design and the tragedy of his situation. I like villains more than heroes in general, but Epic has a particular charm, I wouldn't call him a hero because the poor guy wasn't meant to save anyone, he was conceived as a tool and died as such without too many contemplations, but he tried, he died trying and that is absolutely admirable considering ALL the shit he's been through for 20 years! I don't know, he inspires me to keep going, even if his canon isn't that deep and the au he comes from is a very basic story that takes elements from anime and manga.

It's funny how different Epic is from other favorite characters I have, but that makes him even more special to me.

And I love the idea that the fandom adopts him and gives him details that enrich his character because as I said, I love him so much! <3 and he deserves better.

To wrap things up because I don't want to overwhelm you, some headcanons of my boy to share.

* Epic has taken care of Chara and Asriel, they are his nephews and he keeps a picture of them in his trench coat (often showing it to others like the proud uncle he is).

* I don't want to think of him as a creep, he's a 45 year old man for fucks sake. But eh, he definitely watches that kind of shitty H content sometimes.

* The people closest to Epic I would say are Mettaton, Papyrus and Asgore (who is supposed to be his best friend but the fandom prefers Cross haha)

* I see him as the guy who would make a cookie review blog. I also like that he does reviews of any media and a lot of ironic consumption ("Getting Drunk on Undernovela Part 157"")

* Epic's eye has lost strength over the years (particularly after Gester's death) so his regeneration process is much slower than before. His body can be completely destroyed but the eye will remain intact.

Maybe one day, the eye will stop working and give Epic his mortality back.

* Epic keeps Cross' bandana from their first meeting together (in my one shot We Must Die In Spring something like this was supposed to happen.

Cross: I like your bandana.

Epic: Thanks. I used to be a royal guard.

But it didn't quite fit ahsuahs

Also Perfect Encounter, the epictale and xtale animated crossover, is supposed to be canon for this One Shot but Perfect Encounter hasn't come out yet so I had to fill in the gap with my imagination.

God i love Cross and Epic friendship so much)

And that's all for now... thanks for asking Qin 🩷🌸

The mysterious royal scientist Gidget/The beloved superstar Gittaton

As always, lore below the read more!

*Note, this uses feminine pronouns to refer to Gidget, this is factored into the story*

The most beautiful in all the underground, publicly Gidget is a superstar, covering TVs, all over every poster and magazine. Fans gather for autographs and the waiting lists to appear on her show are years long! A bright smile a cheerful tone holds everyone's attention.

But... She is also the identity of the royal scientist, a role that is filled but no one knows by who, only that they work hard. The only person that knows that Gidget is the royal scientist is Cecil who found out by pure accident while running an errand.

As Gittaton, she looks like herself mixed with Mettaton EX with a fully robotic body. As Gidget, she has shorter hair (closer to the post act 5 cut version), high heeled feet are replaced by trainer feet and she wears a lab coat that hides her figure.

Publicly is outwardly upbeat, walking with a spring in her step and an always uplifting tone in her voice. She moves with confidence and grace, always taking time to take pictures and sign autographs. Though privately, she's a lot less cheerful, keeping to herself and throwing herself completely into her work, constantly being reminded to look after herself by Cecil.

Much like in Undertale, the true lab does exist, despite having everyone calling her beautiful, amazing, a superstar... She feels wrong, like something is missing. That doesn't be possibel, she put together her own body to be perfect, how could she not feel good about it?

So, she decides that her problem must be that her body is one of metal and not of flesh and blood and she does what she can do to make a new body. I think the details are best left to it's own post but the previous fake Iggy post shows some details after the initial experiments. One thing I will say is that what she created was not meant to think at all, just a body for her to use.

Towards Iggy, she sees him as a chance, an opportunity for many things. His appearance on her shows could boost ratings, she could use his wish to fix her or she could use his attention. Besides, to her, he's real easy on the eyes.

In the story, both sides of her are shown to Iggy, the more recluse side through the social media notifications and the superstar side through Mettaton silliness.

For the neutral/pacifist fight in the CORE, she starts in her scientist form, explaining how she feels wrong for the start. Then she suddenly closes the distance between herself and Iggy and pins him to the wall behind him. She makes an advance even she wasn't expecting, progressing the fight requires using a "Push away" act. She sees him as a coward and he doesn't deny that feeling, unlocking the yellow SOUL as Gidget transforms into her superstar form.

Lights, camera, action!

The fight goes similarly with the ratings based system for pacifist. At the end of the ratings victory, Gidget explains her desire to be more beautiful and to use the wish for it but callers pour in that care less about what she looks like and more that she's always so cheerful and personable. One final call from Cecil (or Genzou if Cecil is... Not around) to wish Gidget good luck if she gets what she wants and not to forget her friends. She finally gives up, wishing Iggy the best and letting him continue with a word of warning about the queen.

If she is fought, she will eventually sustain a critical wound across her stomach, wires falling out and sparks flying. Her eyes lose their confident light before she collapses onto the ground. While is appears that she is dead, leaving and re-entering the room will have her body disappear.

For the murder route, the fight opens the same but instead of pushing her away, Iggy attacks her causing her to go all out as much as she doesn't want to critically harm him. She puts up more of a fight than Mettaton NEO, using mechanical themed attacks that hurt very much (who wants to be hit by a sawblade?). At the end of the fight, she's sliced in half. Unlike in the neutral route, she does not disappear after leaving and returning to the room.

For the true pacifist ending, you take some data from Cecil to the lab, have an extremely awkward hangout in a place that "Cecil's brother says is private" (it's the dump still) where you get interrupted by Orlam which cares Gidget and causes her to flee. Again, true lab will be focused on later

For the design, I replaced the heart on the belt with a watch to represent her friendship with Cecil and the pink with a soft purple (her text colour in OW).

The main standout thing in that, she's not human at all here! Going from a ghost to a feminine robot to achieve her goals even though she doesn't feel great about it, she feels like she has to do it to be happy. But without someone to focus that energy into (Iggy, of course), she starts to snap about her body but that is true lab stuff (I'm building this up but it's not the biggest shock I don't think >.<)

Gonna be honest, I didn't feel good about drawing Gittaton, not used to drawing them with long hair! And look at Iggy finding the camera outside the Ruins door!

Happy newsletter.

Misc. Thoughts.

-We're at the point at which the newsletters are themed around certain characters - this case was Frisk & Noelle (last newsletter was Chara & Asriel). < Specifically starts with narration.

-I didn't catch the Noelle poem first-time because The Melted Snowdeer sprite is noticeably transparent with darkmode on. Looks neat

-There go my hopes for a trailer for a spring release...

-Uh, extremely obvious prediction for chapter 3 I'm not even going to explain.

-Uh... Dante's Inferno reference from Jevil???? < guess

-There's been some hopes that the UwU- speaker is Kris, but Susie clearly mentions Ralsei in the japanese text right beforehand. He's capable of doing that, sure, but he tends to prefer extreme seriousness & dryness. Aside from that, he has a tendency to jump direct into innuendo/annoyance. Despite appearences, not an UwU speaker.

-This is a late observation from me, but Lancer has an extremely advanced vocabulary from someone pretty relaxed.

-Wild Mass Guessing on my end will be right as towards the nature of Chapter 4's Dark World...!

-Elnina & Lanino love triangle?????? With the Moon?????

-Chapter 5 is Going To Be Ice-E's

-I don't have much to say about Seam. I like Toby's commentary on their new plushie. Dusty magic is probably an element type.

-Actually, though, it seems their cloak is two-colored in full. That's probably a reference to something, but I forget what. Like one of those optical illusions that contains two pictures.

-Okay, first of all, Noelle-UT!Asriel parallels continue to be right.

-2nd It's a piece from a young Noelle, from back before Dess disappeared. I'm noting a difference in self-esteem, young Noelle is proud/determined in a way older Noelle has mellowed out. Note the effect of Dess's sudden abscence.

-Noelle 'I'll grow big angel wings' motif continues

-Noelle's evil karma from childhood continues (I wish it could snow wherever I wanted > Snowgrave)

-Okay, but now the whole squad has a 4 Letter (Nick)name to them. Noelle > Elly ; December > Dess ; Asriel > Azzy ; Kris > Kris

-Kris's full name could still be Krismas, by the way

-Theoretically, this includes Susie ( > Suzy)

-That's relevant because Undertale has a soft rule that relevant names should be Six Letters: Flowey, Toriel, Asgore, Undyne, Alphys, Asriel, Gerson, Muffet, Shyren, the Fallen Child's Given Name. Or less: (Frisk, Chara, Snowy). It's not a hard rule (Sans & Papyrus, Mettaton, Napstablook) but note that character limit for the fallen child.
