i have like 4 friends irl who are into utdr and it’s kinda weird to talk to him because i am very much a “pacifist hippie” and he is very “BLOOD MURDER DEATH KILL” about it

Sans-centric UTMV stuff like Underverse is so funny to me cuz like. Imagine you’ve been exposed to the wonders of the multiverse, only to find out nearly every being of multiversal importance is a variant of the same guy. And it’s just some random dude. Like obviously sans has a lot more going on than he lets on but that’s the persona he presents to most people. So if you were from a normal timeline you’d most likely know sans as just “the guy who hangs around grillby’s” or “the guy who works the hot dog stand” or something along those lines. And then you see 2 copies of hot dog guy duking it out for the fate of reality. Could you imagine.

Unexpected Guests Chapter Ten, Act Two: Page 23

First / Previous / Next

Alphys manages to ignore her girlfriend long enough to bring up a good point; as awesome as Undyne is, she's not invincible. But they aren't the only monsters still on the battlefield...

Look for the next update on Oct. 10th!

I almost forgot I made this…. The long-awaited sequel to this post.

Scrunkly & malewife if malewife was a serial genocider. (He would never say bro but he would let you walk into a trap for amusement)

I've been drawing them a lot and just by looking at these I can tell just how inconsistent my art style is

I love that alphys is full of hubris. Here is my robot with a soul i made myself (lie) of course i will be your royal scientist and continue my real soul experiments . I cant wait to make everyone better (oh no.) Oh the human is here. I can’t wait to help them through all of these problems I invented myself. I love giving myself unnecessary challenges to prove my worth. Also im bisexual.

Inspo from this random short I stumbled into on youtube today

[droppingartintotheinfinite]

now that the most recent deltarune chapters have once again reinforced that ralsei and asriel canonically don’t look that alike, i hope we can all finally agree that kris/ralsei is in no way an incestuous ship

the real reason it’s problematic is that it’s selfcest, because, as we all know, ralsei is kris’ fursona

Feel like in the UT fandom's attempt to reverse the 2015-era-gremlinification of Chara Undertale there's risen a common- not necessarily mischaracterization, but misremembering of Chara's dialogue as being needlessly formal or "proper". It is true that they're eloquent, (and they do use a more formal text style in the Japanese translation)- but it's common to extend this trait in fan content to them being flowery, or even never using contractions. Nothing wrong with having these headcanons! But for one, they very much do use contractions:

The undoubtably-Chara lines in the game's narration do have a very specific style! They're blunt, matter-of-fact, impatient, and clipped- with just a little of that pacifist-route curiosity peaking through:

Again, they are a well-spoken kid, but I think we may have mentally misfiled Chara's genocide dialogue as "flowery and formal" when it's really more... stilted and un-natural. It's weirdly detached, kind of like they're, you know, the ghost of a dead kid who's been grafted onto your soul as a personification of pointless level-grinding:

The dialogue isn't weird because it's formal, it's unnatural. It purposefully doesn't "flow". (As opposed to the geno dialogue, which you can definitely picture this little rosy-cheeked kid bluntly stating under their breath as they inspect every little corner of New Home for what-have-you).

And for the NarraChara theory, the game's narration isn't eloquent in a "fancy" way- it has a very distinctive "dry, technical-sounding language contrasting typically-informal subject matter" you could clearly imagine in the mouth of the kind of 2010s kid who reads Tumblr posts on Pinterest and edits TV Tropes (though order of influence may actually be reversed).

We very much are picking through scraps here, and technically we don't have any living-and-with-a-soul Chara dialogue- so this is all headcanon ground, anyway. I do think it's odd though, that in fan works we have both extremes of Chara speaking-styles: the "gremlin" take and the "extremely proper" take. I personally see them as more direct and a little stilted- a kid who's pretty talkative and has a sense of humor, yet clearly doesn't get into many two-sided conversations.

Utdr is so cool because you get to be included in the tragedy. It's your choices that lead to a horrible end! It could have happened another way, yet you didn't let it. You had to see it through

These made me giggle when I found them. (Art by Yugogeer012, rahafwabas, and Animated Zorox.)
