Before the Anger- episode 20, "Picnic Party (pt. 3)"
The original AU that this comic is based on was in grayscale. Obviously, since this comic has color, the other characters have gotten color into their designs. But not Sans. He's so emo that he stays in grayscale.
Also, water is important in this series. This is the first encounter we have with it, and it's relatively positive! But watch out for symbolism later in the comic :)

Before the Anger- episode 57, "Long Journey (pt. 6)"
Well, Alphys... Let's be honest. What were you expecting?
I'm trying some different things with the style of BTA. I sort of want it to look like a printed comic on paper. Also, I want the colors to be warmer. (This episode is in Snowdin so I made it look colder on purpose, though)

THEORY THEORY THEORY!!! I love the attention to the timeline!!!!
I looked at the bonus art thinking I wouldn't be traumatized. I was wrong. Equivalent of a Rick roll. /j
During the 80s’ Siqua said that she “took herself way too seriously and that she was embarrassed” Undyne was born around 1985, since the present BTA takes place in 1994. Siqua and Gaster could have easily still been “serious partners in crime” while neglecting their own children.
However, I think that something changed in 1988, right around when Sans was born. Siqua said that her and Gaster stopped soon after Sans was born and That she lost her husband.
Undyne would have been around 3-4 years old. Just when she starts to have a mind of her own. She could have very easily wanted to cook breakfast for her parents—then the house burnt down. Siquas husband could have easily died while protecting Undyne from the flames. After that day, Siqua made it a priority to put undyne above all else and treat her like how a real mother should. It can also explain how snappy she gets at Gaster for neglecting his own kids. Because she has seen how bad it could get. Gasters lack of care could easily have him or his children killed (it didn’t but Siquas reaction is justified)
Also there’s also a scene in BTA where Papyrus almosts burns the house down while Gaster just doesn’t care.
Siqua had the Ability to Change as a Person because something terrible happened to her.
Gaster changed those feelings into a not so happy fact after the massacre
I hoped you like my rambling/theory
Bonus art!!
I wonder if I should give gaster more makeovers :3

Before the Anger, episode 3- "People Our Age"
Note- Even though I like a good Undyne and Alphys ship, THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN IN THIS COMIC. Undyne is a child and Alphys is in her 30s- that's the end of it. Instead, Alphys and Siqua (Undyne's mom) are the main romance :)
So sorry for the bad quality comic! I had to shift the dimensions and this quality was the best I could do.

Gaster's house map is a bit of a mess since its two stories and I wanted to show what it looks like from the side...
Sans and Papyrus have to share a bed. Maybe that's me projecting from when I had to share a bed with my sibling as a kid. You'll never know!
I really enjoy interior design and all that, so this was very fun. There was also an extra challenge of piecing together the parts of the houses that I've already put in the comic.
Episodes in Gaster's house: Commencing Telephone Call!, Trick-or-Treating, Strange Tradition, A Red Pen and a Dumb Book, Annoying Kid!
Episodes in Siqua's house: Quality Time, Picnic Party, HAPPY EASTER, MOM!!
Episodes in Alphys's house: Dress to Impress, Long Journey
(A lot of these^ are not really accurate anymore due to these new maps lol)
Before the Anger- episode 62, "Again with the Student Party..."
It's been quite a while since there's been an episode in the break room!
Asgore doesn't have to go to the student party, but he chooses to anyway, so your point is kinda weak, Gaster.
Did you notice Gaster's strangely specific hand motions? When he talks, he tends to vaguely sign words in sign language. He said two words in this episode: "cruel" and he started to say "frustrated" but he stopped himself. He hid his hands twice: beginning 3 panels and last 3 panels. Where did this muscle memory come from? Is it deliberate?
((“Hey, Chara?” Asriel started, clearing his throat. His voice was deeper now, not by any physical maturity, but emotional. Chara had changed now, too; her chubby cheeks had now shrunken to show her structure; her body had grown taller, more slender; she had started to look more like a “woman”, but Asriel could never think of Chara as such.))

(Drawing below has some blood, so warning!) I drew Toriel from my AU, Before the Anger. We haven't met her yet, but she is very cool in my humble opinion. Not sure how much I want to inform you being she isn't introduced... Pretty much, Toriel is very powerful :)
I like tumblr because I can post both comics AND art, so I think I'll be mixing up my content a little soon. Of course, my comics are still art, but its a very simple style so I can post weekly lol- I like to play around a lot more with composition and lighting in my "official" art. I love Tumlr :) Its a very well built and creative app
Can you tell its late by the fact that nothing I'm saying makes sense?
Comic
RAAAHAHAHA HOW DO I EVEN RESPOND!??? I have no words. AWESOME!!!!
I LOVE the color symbolism!!!! The crying little child part is just... Perfect.
Idek how to put words to my thoughts just THANK YOU AAAA
Grillby, noo...
In this picture, she's showing them how to say "asshole". Papyrus is trying to copy her (success rate... not looking good) and Sans is just watching and learning. Ah yes, such good influences the skeleton brothers have...
This is Grillby IV as she appears in BTA: a teenager. She is sixteen. Technically, this is not her first job, since she helps her dad (Grillby III... It's easier to keep naming heirs "Grillby" than changing the name of the restaurant) at the restaurant. But this is the first one she's being paid for!
All of the Grillbys are proficient in sign language, since fire can't talk. Don't think too hard about that, the Grillbys aren't much more than a bit XD
OMG ITS SO CUTE!! I LOVE THE THOUGHT OF ALPHYS SINGING THAT LOW LMAO IT MADE ME GIGGLE
This is so cool thank you 😈😁😍❤❤!!!!!!
