HOMEMOVIE's Undertale October Line-Up

"I will be going on hiatus on March 15th to edit an original novel." what the novel?

Yes! I will be starting draft 2 of edits on my original novel on that date. It might take me longer than draft 1 since my only focus on the first go was getting the base story on the page. The sentence structures and proses went completely ignored, so you can imagine the state it’s currently in.

I won’t reveal the title of the novel as, currently, I think it’s best to separate my real life pen name from the fanfics, but it will have a lot of the usual elements I write about, just toned down a bit. I love magical realism, and I adore writing about the supernatural; monstrous creatures in our world. I also love writing about the real dark struggles everyday people face. The gritty, the gruesome, the gory too! My bookshelf is filled to the brim with transgressive stories, so much so that I currently have towers of books near my desk that I haven’t yet read, and that I don’t have room for, but felt compelled to buy. It’s an addiction for sure, so I think the darker, icky parts of life will never escape my stories even if I’m writing about 8 feet tall eyeball-headed angels with long sharp fingers and polished marble skin, or aliens, or skeletons because I love skeletons and one day I’ll have a story that I can publish that totally has not-Sans and not-Papyrus in it.

The original novel will have a lot of what you might be used to in my fics, so even though I cannot share the series title or my author name, once book one is published, who knows? You just might come across it in the wild and recognize the themes I love to write about, and if you do, it’ll be a second chance encounter. :)

Okay, so that was quite a bit. I'm going to make an effort to get this chapter off the ground in a timely manner. Big post is still coming soon (probably tomorrow).

So I know these posts are supposed to have 5 in them, but I got so cheeky with my art last night and this morning, that I'm gonna be a bit impatient with this one. Typical, huh?

Thoughts on the narrator? Is he too annoying? I feel like he's annoying.

Post #9 - Baby Animals or Little Girls?

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

As I am preparing to sketch out the last scene for chapter one, I have been reading through highlight chapters in Lugubriosity. This chapter had particularly caught my eye since we get a bit more insight on Papyrus’ crimes. Only Papyrus didn't abusing several children alone, he had help. 

Which brings me to one question; how involved was Undyne really? 

I’d like to imagine someone who doesn't already have pedophilic tendencies wouldn't dare to help in such horrendous crimes regardless if they wanted to impress their emotionally abusive mother. In other words, Undyne was likely a pedophile as well, perhaps one who didn't have a strict child attraction. Should this be explored more in Fawn? It isn't typical for females to develop such a paraphilia, and even less likely for them to act on them, but then again, working with Papyrus had provided her with plenty of opportunities to offend. 

Perhaps Undyne isn't a pedophile but just a heartless sociopath with no care for the well being of children—only she's depicted as showing guilt in this chapter. 

Ah, musings, musings. 

Anyway, I thought I’d show some of the more animal victims of the two. We have Hunny and two unnamed girls. Should they also be present in Fawn, or should Papyrus have only one victim and that being Frisk? Maybe Frisk isn’t his first, but rather the one that he fell in love with? Maybe Papyrus and Undyne developed their friendship through their lust of little girls? Maybe, just maybe.

Post # I Lost Count - Life Update? Yay!

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

So, I’m aware this isn’t a personal blog, and I don’t exactly want to make it one of those, but I need to vent a bit, my friends have a lot going on in their lives that what I’m about to complain about will seem like small potatoes, and I don’t have any other social media. So, this Undertale Tumblr blog will just have to do.

For the last month and a half I’ve been attempting to get a business off the ground. I have all the documentations and legal whatnots, but what’s been holding me back is the flipping website. Maybe I’m cheap, maybe I’m just too prideful, but I decided I would build the site myself completely by scratch with zero knowledge of HTML, or CSS, or any of that. I’ve managed it. The little creative spirit in me picked up the basics after many hours of trial and error (now ask me to solve a simple math equation and you’ll see how intellectually inept I am). Amazing news, right? This website had its foot on my neck for weeks now, and this morning I was finally victorious!

Until I wasn’t.

I sent the site to my friend to test, and on mobile whenever you scrolled down it would zoom the page way out into the void. I thought I’d put back on my handy dandy hard hat and make a simple tweak here, and little change there—I fucked the whole thing up beyond repair, and I didn’t make a proper backup of the site, so now I need to start from scratch!

Well, not completely, but all the fancy code I added needs to be redone, and to be frank, um no. Not doing that shit again, so I’m just gonna have a basic ass website and call it day for now because the longer it’s taking me to mess with this thing, the longer I’m not launching my business. The little procrastinating, self-doubting, coward in me is super happy that I now have an excuse not to move forward and do this thing. Too bad since I spent too much money to just quit now.

All that said, I’ve been missing Discord lately. I’m currently only in one server, but I’d love to join another one, preferably something small and fandom focused. I’m fine with any of the fandoms I have written for (so far Undertale, Sonic, and TMNT, but you can add in ATLA too. Plus, I like some “adult” shows—whatever the fuck that means. Actually, I don’t watch much television, so that is a lie).

If anyone wants to send some servers my way I’d love that a bunch! I used to run several Discord servers back during lockdown, and I definitely do not want to do that again. Too much work that I currently can’t keep up with, but having a chill place to discuss fandom stuff, or creative projects, or fucked up websites that break on you when you change one line of code, is something I’ve been craving lately.

Now the poll is unavailable?

Gah! I give up.

Post #14 - The Faces of Frisk

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

I went to my first convention this past weekend. It was definitely an experience seeing people in cosplay in real life—I even dared to dress up. While there, I came across so much inspiration for my art that sparks flew through my brain. It was definitely a much-needed trip.

So enough of that! I have finally gotten around to sketching out different ideas for Frisk. These are just rough drafts that mainly play around with hairstyles, (she will still wear the signature bangs and bob. Option B is simply my fun little way of showing her face) and skin shades. I'm open to keeping her a Simpsons yellow too so anyone can easily see themselves in her—or maybe not considering her circumstances lol!

Either way, I think it would be fun to vote on it! (once I figure out how to create a poll, that is).

The previous poll appears to be neck and neck with a suggested AU and an original AU (based on the comments and the poll numbers). We will create from scratch to keep things simple while heavily referencing Underfell, that way we are technically doing both options. Below are the results.

Thanks again to everyone who voted! Once I figure out how to embed a poll in this post I will make an edit to include it. In the meantime, if you like any of the options, feel free to comment, and your vote or suggestion will be noted.

Edit: I’m stupid, all I had to do was edit this post to get a poll in—not create a whole new one. Hahaha…

Post #27 - Plans of the Past and for the Future

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

So I'm 9 days off, but I wish you all a very happy New Year! I have a big post coming up soon (I know I said that in October) as well as a detailed road map for the FAWN project. Some things have changed...again, but these changes need to be made to ensure we actually get a finished product. I'll explain it more in that post.

As for this post, I found some old plotting for The Salt Circle that I thought I'd share just to get back into the swing of posting. I used a program for the map but I cannot recall which one off the top of my head as this was about two years ago. You can see through the list below I was attempting to better gauge each skeleton. I also had some very very rough sketches that I started for each version of the brothers. I might clean those up and post them in the future. Don't let me forget because I tend to do that.

If you would like to check out The Salt Circle, you can find it here.

I'm slow to update, but I made a promise to myself that I will never drop a story even if I temporarily fall out of love with it. But, of course, that might mean a story will drag on for years and years--this year I am going to make an effort to change that starting with me posting the last 10 chapters of the Sonic fic.

So many stories, and so little free time.
