Au Info - Blog Posts

While working on the headshot rough drafts for the AU variants of Neue, I’m also brainstorming on some concepts for, I guess a reimagining of a few AUs. This is not me trying to “improve” the original AU, it’s just me wanting to have some fun & doing my take of other AUs.

This is gonna be a veeeeeerrry looooong post.

The main 2 I’ll be working on are Horrortale & Dusttale.

I wanted to get opinions & suggestions for these concepts before delving too deep into these ideas. Please tell your thoughts on this & if I need to change/improve on.

Horrortale will be more appearance-based, meaning that I won’t be doing a lot of story building & it’s more of just redesigning the characters to look more “monstrous”. Basically they’ll be more animalistic or feral & their bodies would have gone through heavy changes to “adapt”.

*This is literally an excuse to draw the characters as big & scary horror movie style “monsters”. I guess this would make it similar to the Underworld AU, but the story or origin for the change would be similar to Horrortale, but takes place even further after the Neutral Route*

For right now, I’ve been calling this AU of an AU: Feral!Horrortale. But a few others are Dwellertale/Underdwell, Undercave/Cavetale, Carnitale & or Undermaw.

I’ve written a few ideas for their overall appearance based on Nocturnal & Cave-Adapted animals. I won’t list all of them otherwise this post will be way too long, but here are a few:

Eyes

Will become bigger

Pupils will become extremely dilated

Will become blind, either with cloudy Pupils or losing their eyes completely

Mouth

Jaw becomes much stronger

Able to be unhinged

Senses

Becomes extremely sensitive to light

Scent of smell & hearing will become much more heightened

May develop echolocation due to loss of sight

General Appearance

Depending on location, those in colder areas will become bigger, while those living in hotter areas will become smaller

Aging will slow down, longer lifespan

Psychological Changes

Will become much more aggressive & animalistic/feral

Start to communicate through nonverbal communication: clicking, chirps, barks, croaks, etc.

These are just a few of concepts for this version of Horrortale.

For Dusttale, it’ll be more story-based, but will have some illustrations here & there. The main differences is that Vani would be from this version & would detail an alternate ending for Vani, also this version would include Sans being “hired” to work for Nightmare.

Now before I go on about the basic concept for this AU, I’ll need to explain a few things first:

Sans’s Killing Spree: I don’t know if in the original he killed all monsters (I kept getting mixed answers or no answers at all), but in this version he only killed most monsters. There were a few that were able to get away & hide before Sans could get them; Sans only wanted to get enough EXP to reach LV 19 or 20 (I can’t decide which one yet). Vani, & probably characters like Monster Kid, Napstablook & Mettaton (Ghost Form), would be one of these survivors.

*As a side note: Papyrus in this AU is an actual ghost & not a hallucination, but I’ll go over that in another post*

Frisk & Chara: In this AU, Frisk & Chara are basically “organic” A.I. attached to a “Real World Anchor” aka Frisk’s body/vessel. Chara was the original concept for the “Fallen Human”, but was scrapped due to them being too “independent & free-willed”. Frisk is the current concept prototype for the “Fallen Human”, made from original data & a blank template; however bits of Chara’s A.I. was used as filler for missing information within Frisk’s A.I., this causes Chara to appear as a glitched phantom (good example of this would be Glitchtrap from FNaF Help Wanted). Chara has little to no control over Frisk, instead they can only give “suggestions” to hopefully influence Frisk’s actions.

The Player: The Player is depicted/described as a higher entity or deity, they could be seen as the “Angel” sent to create peace between humans & monsters (this is based off the theory that the rune we see throughout the game is a depiction of 2 monsters, a human & an angel). The Player at the beginning of the route will have minimal control over Frisk, mainly able to give “directions or actions” that Frisk should follow. But the more EXP that is gained, the more control the Player will have over Frisk. This could cause a total takeover with the Player “ejecting” the A.I. from the anchor aka vessel.

How Did Vani Survive: In the most simplistic way of describing: she can’t die, her soul will automatically heal itself/her. Now in further details: Vani was born with (what I’ll be calling for now) a glitched soul; this causes the soul to look, well glitched out. However it has an ability to automatically heal itself & its body, but not through the usual way; via magic or healing items. Whenever Vani takes damage, the soul will “reload” her back to the point/time & placement right before she takes damage; however the world around her is not affected or altered by this ability, to everyone around her: she looks like she’s “lagging” or “glitching”. Fortunately, or more like unfortunately, this ability is automatically & Vani is unable to “deactivate” it; it use to be super over efficient (would activate if Vani took 1HP or less), but started to calm down has Vani got older (would activate if Vani loses half or more). Even if her HP reaches 0, the soul will activate its ability & essentially “resurrect” Vani; this is what happened when Sans was trying to kill her.

Ok now that that’s out of the way, the basic concept of this AU is…

BRINGING BACK THE DEAD!!!

Or Vani & the remaining monsters tried to improve on the artificial DETERMINATION to resurrect the fallen monsters. But it still causes them to melt, but can gain stability by “merging” with other monsters or inanimate objects (sticks, plants, sturdy clothing, etc.).

This obviously a huge info dump, but I’m super excited about this & I wanted to get everyone’s opinion or suggestion before I go too deep in.

Alright screw it, I created a AU or smh for Scarygirl the movie that was made in either 2023 or 2024 idk, so after Maybee was launched into wherever (maybe space or just somewhere REALLY faraway). He kinda gains a split personality since he’s now half octopus due to The Keeper’s magic and all and they both kind of fight for control of his body, the octopus side is more insane but tries to be gentle in some sort of way, and the human half is more aware but cold. The human half of Maybee has all of his memories while the octopus half of Maybee basically has none, if the left eye is open then it means the octopus side is in control, and if the right eye is open it means the human side is in control. But as time goes on, the sides just start to lose themselves in their strongest traits, the octopus side no longer trying to be gentle and the human side becoming more aware that they aren’t going to get out of this situation anytime soon, the octopus side starts getting more and more aggressive as time goes on and it’s hard to ask for help when you’re in the middle of nowhere. So it’s just kind of how Maybee handles things after getting launched into wherever and having to deal with increasingly difficult days, mentally and physically.

PS sorry if I got his name wrong

Alrighty so this AU is based off of this song which I’m calling

Tippy’s Show of Wonders! Au

Basically after the events of S1 and Jailbreak, Tippy has gone back to his normal life as a Doorman, and with the Mars stone door moved out of the street. Everything was basically as normal as Lego City can get. Except when Tippy feels like he’s being watched lately, the feeling keeps getting more and more frequent each day at the point where it feels like all eyes are on him 24/7. He keeps ignoring it for now, but things start to take a turn for the strange when he starts hearing whispers, and Frendrick suddenly what’s him to be in his plans more and more. One day Frendrick, on his usual scheme to be better than Sinclaire, scouted and found out about an abandoned circus tent theatre. Frendrick being Frendrick decided it needed to be demolished for him to build a factory for very toxic things that will profit him very much, but before he could even do so, his machines started to break and rust one by one. Everyone was slightly confused, the equipment had been fine before but, them knowing Frendrick, was probably in secret poor condition anyway so they ignored it. Frendrick got angry, threw a tantrum, and decided to deal with it manually by letting his workers do it for him of course, they begrudgingly agreed and entered the building with tools.

———***———

A few hours later, Frendrick was tapping his watch and foot very angrily, just then a few workers came out. A sliver of the dozen that went in, some were injured badly, and the ones that weren’t were carrying the limp. Frendrick was startled and confused, what in the hell happened in there..didn’t matter more workers to not get paid and hopefully no lawsuits that Sinclaire can use against him. He moved out with the remaining workers, and yelled at them for being baby’s.

To be continued in a reblog.

(P.S. I hope I didn’t mess of the names up, plus if you have any suggestions then comment em, thanks!)

Ok, seriously, how is no one talking about this villain from that one MV? I mean they probably could’ve gone something with this, but it’s definitely not very canon I know. I’m probably gonna make a whole entire theory or fan something on this lol, but still they probably should’ve made this an actual villain because it would be an actual threat to everyone. It could somehow tunnel through into the schools computer room and try to lure Cula back to it, I’m guessing it’s some sort of virus or a actual villain that owns a company since the headset that Cula is wearing has a logo on it, and this MV takes place at either Cula’s hideout or even house but I’m guessing hideout since it had so many video games and a whole basement..typical gamer setup probably. Now it probably took a week or a few days to figure out where and what happened to Cula in general in the MV for Zizi, Kongkong, Frankie, and Kenji. (Sorry if I mispronounced anything, have a hard time remembering names lol) anyway I might be looking waaayyy to into it but hey, it makes for good angst ideas lol
