the fact that Chara's big plan to destroy the barrier involved them committing suicide…
like, killing themself for "the greater good"… and it didn't even work, either…
if anything it made things worse. because it made Asgore want to declare war on all humans. it caused Flowey to exist and caused mass murder on multiple resets.
and this isn't me blaming Chara for that. this is me saying that their suicide didn't improve anything. killing themself was a horrible idea with massive consequences. they didn't need to die, they didn't deserve to die and dying did not fix anything.
I don't understand how anyone sees them as a villain really…

The cult went through all that offer to make the sacrifice appear willing. But the fact that it wasn't actually willing appears to be what will be their downfall. If they were willing/able to sacrifice one of their own number (or in the unlikely, still highly dubious scenario they can get a kid to AGREE to be sacrificed and deliver their message), said person could explain the situation to Ralsei, and eventually direct the eldritch beasts upon the 'proper' recipients of their wrath. But because none of the sacrifices had agreed to this, or even properly understood why they were being sacrificed, we now have a bunch of pointless murders including infanticide/familicide, Kris wanting revenge on more or less everyone besides Asriel...not to mention, whatever reason Noelle wants to meet Mayor Holiday for...
But the critical blunder they seemed to make, is that Ralsei is able to appear in the Light World instantaneously. Honestly the ritual seems less like a 'sacrifice' and more like 'sending an ambassador/guest' when you look at it like this, which (morality of it all aside) may have been their most erroneous assumption.
Even the parts of the ritual Toriel mentions feel too...soft for a ritual(which does contribute to it feeling even Worse.) She calls Kris a 'gift', and mentions things you'd give 'a neighbor' and making sure Ralsei doesn't feel trapped--meaning he's instead meant to feel welcome, not a dangerous demon to be tricked or bound, more like an equal or honored guest. (Which let's be honest is very Ralsei.)
Yeah, despite all their planning and attempts, the cult never quite got a handle on what was actually being asked of them for the ritual. If the instructions they were able to piece together were simplified to "give me a willing human soul, and I'll come to you to fulfil your requests," they interpreted that as "sacrifice a human to me and I'll immediately show up where you are." Whereas what Ralsei's ritual would have actually been saying is "send me a willing human so that I can leave my realm and come to you." A few layers of language barriers and assumptions about how summoning a demon worked probably contributed to their misconceptions! (Ironically, this is where Asriel could have actually helped them out more, at least with the language barrier part.)
Basically, a whole lot of heartache and betrayal and teen murder could have been avoided if they'd just thought to get a linguist or a historian or both in on the cult. But, they were always very careful to keep the membership small for safety reasons.

OKAY SCREW IT you’re getting the full Deltarune theory post. Buckle in—this will be a long one.
Part 1: Undertale Connections As we all know, Deltarune is its own game, separate from Undertale, but is also specifically intended for audiences who have not only played but delved into the lore of Undertale. I’m interpreting this to mean that while most of Deltarune’s questions won’t be answered by Undertale, plenty of Undertale’s questions will be answered by Deltarune. They won’t be the main focus of the story, because we’ve already seen their story—but they’ll be there. 
For example, the Soul. I don’t think it’ll ever be explicitly stated, but I do think we’ll get implications as to the nature of the Red Soul. My belief is that sometime after a True Pacifist route, Undertale!Gaster managed to get in contact with Chara—still connected to Frisk—and asks it to assist him with saving the world of Deltarune. It agrees, which is what the hidden demon dialogue is about. Gaster plans to do this by putting Chara’s Soul into a vessel, but has not realized that the Chara’s Soul belongs to Frisk, and has to change plans and bring Frisk along, too. The Soul we see in Deltarune is Frisk, and the narrator is the same Chara who narrated a Pacifist Undertale, which is why their tone and jokes are so familiar. 
Then there’s the question everyone has been asking since Undertale’s release—what the hell is up with those funky skeletons? Like I said, I don’t think Undertale characters are going to be the main focus of this game, but they are going to have roles—like Toriel and Undyne/Napstablook probably will next chapter. The difference between that role and the role I think Sans and Papyrus will play is that Toriel, Undyne, Blooky, Mettaton, Alphys, Asgore, Asriel, the Mad Ghost, everyone… they’re all different people than their Undertale counterparts. Sans and Papyrus are not. I know, I know, you’ve heard this one before—but hear me out. A lot of the cast is older in Deltarune, right? Frisk, a small child, is about the same age as Monster Kid and Suzy, and MK and Susie are teenagers in Deltarune (assuming the MK and Susie of Deltarune aren’t siblings of the original two). DR!Gerson is also (probably) dead of old age. Kris, who is a parallel to Chara and Frisk, is a teenager. There are exceptions to this rule—Snowy is, bizarrely, the same age—but most people appear to be around the same age or slightly older. But then there’s the skeletons. 
Sans is more awkward (the whole Torgore scene), taking longer to come up with jokes (when you return the Heart Candy), and acts a little more immature with his humor (your mom). Papyrus is also implied to be a teenager, seeing as Sans thinks it would be weird for him to hang out with Kris, but also thinks Papyrus should. That’s kinda odd. They’re both clearly adults in Undertale—Papyrus even refers to Sans as a grown man in the fifth anniversary alarm clock dialogue—but their Deltarune selves seem to be years younger. Plus, Sans has the exact same sprite as he does in Undertale. I don’t know if anyone else has this, and the other major UT characters certainly don’t. I’ll elaborate on how this occurred later, but I think the place Sans wants to go back to in Undertale is, in fact, Deltarune. Upon getting to Undertale’s world, Sans and Papyrus connected with UT!Gaster, leading to Sans becoming a scientist in search of getting home.
Part 2: Gaster
I’m a fan of the Two Gasters theory. Most of the other Lightners are or are implied to have alternate selves, after all. That leaves us with Undertale Gaster and Deltarune Gaster, who I’ll call UT!Gaster and DR!Gaster for clarity’s sake. UT!Gaster is the guy who we have a 1/1000 chance of meeting, who built the core, who wants to save Deltarune, whose text appears during the survey and other points of Deltarune, and who gives Kris the Eggs. He’s a pretty nice guy, actually. 
Then we’ve got DR!Gaster. Basically, he’s everything we’re working against. He wants to open more Dark Fountains—but he’s not the Knight. I’ll get to that. Point is, this guy is not the friendly survey guy. He’s Gaster, sure, but a completely different version of him.
Part 3: The Knight At the moment, I’m team Papyrus-Is-The-Knight. We’ve all seen every evidence post for every character, so I’m not gonna get too into that. In this theory, Sans and Papyrus either moved into Hometown with DR!Gaster (probably a third brother, a father, or some other acquaintance), or to get away from him. If it’s the latter, it did not work. DR!Gaster is encouraging Papyrus to make the Fountains, and is the reason Papyrus developed the Knight persona. Sans has no idea this is going on. 
Importantly—I do not think Papyrus is a malicious character here. If he is the Knight, I’d expect he’s doing what he thinks is right, or at least what DR!Gaster thinks is right.
Part 4: Secret Bosses I still can’t decide which Gaster is more likely to have manipulated the secret bosses. Maybe it’s both—the strange someone seems to have pushed them too far by accident, but there’s also a threatening presence who doesn’t want Spamton talking about the Knight. Then again, there’s the theory that Jevil and Spamton and all the others are failed attempts at making a Ralsei. I don’t know... maybe this stuff will make more sense when we figure out how Tenna and Mike connect to Spamton?
Part 5: Seam and the Shadow Crystals In case this actually gets notes, this feels like a good place to remind people that Seam does not use he/him pronouns. Canonically, Seam uses they or no pronouns. Please don’t misgender Seam on my post. *pointing at Seam* This cat is gonna be so important I’m telling you—no where are you going come back— For real, though, Seam is a very interesting character, even without what I like to call the Blorbo Bias. Seam is the only Darkner we’ve met so far who’s been unintentionally exposed to the same kinds of information as a secret boss—it seems like Jevil relayed the things he learned to Seam without the strange someone’s knowledge. Seam’s eye is also foreshadowed in Undertale. It’s also implied that Seam beat Jevil in a fight, despite how strong we all know Jevil to be. And Seam is collecting our Shadow Crystals without much consent on the Player’s part—which is a bit concerning considering that Shadow Crystals make Darkners stronger (kinda like human souls for monsters amirite-). By the end of Deltarune, Seam could have up to seven Crystals. ...yeah. There’s more, but this post as a whole is not about Seam, so I’m holding back.
What I’m getting at is that as much as I like to joke that Seam just has a Shadow Crystal special interest, this cat is definitely planning something. My theory? The Crystals seemingly allow us to see into other timelines and other worlds, so I’m thinking that if Seam's planning to use them to reach into the Light World and get a Gaster’s attention. Why? Well, Gaster did kind of ruin Seam’s life, so... revenge, maybe? Or, if Seam thinks Gaster is going to be the cause of the Roaring, maybe it’s a last-ditch attempt to save the world. Anyway, the party probably knows enough by Chapter 7 to realize that this is a bad idea, so we’re going to end up fighting a seven-shadow-crystal Seam as the final, overpowered secret boss, who is only unlockable by beating every other boss. (Good for Seam. Seam deserves to let out that repressed emotion, even if that means killing us so many times that we want to throw out the game.) 
Part 6: Dess and Asriel I don’t know, I don’t KNOW LEAVE ME ALONE- Yeah, that sums it up. For the most part, I’ve got no clue what’s going on with these guys. My only main theories are that Asriel is not as perfect as he seems, and Dess went missing in the bunker when Noelle was little+Asgore couldn’t find her. As for the rest... we shall see.
Part 7: Susie and Kris Based on Everything, especially the recent Spamton Sweepstakes lore, I’ve come to the conclusion that Kris and Susie were together in the foster system, specifically a human-run branch. When they were in first grade, the Dreemurrs adopted Kris. During this endeavor, Susie started acting out and got in trouble, possibly threatened with arrest; Toriel prevented this from happening, which Susie remembers and remains grateful for years later. However, Susie still resented Kris for leaving her, unbeknownst to Kris, who thought they parted on good terms. 
Susie lived in a human community for years, facing discrimination for being a monster, before eventually moving to Hometown, possibly on her own after running away.
Part 8: Ralsei Ralsei is a weird guy. He refers to himself as a Darkner, but other Darkners refer to him as a Lightner, and most people tend to look him over easily—take Queen, Noelle, and Berdly. I’m not saying “only Kris and Susie can see him” or anything—he is acknowledged by other Lightners and Darkners alike, but only when he pushes the point.
I don’t think that he’s quite a Lightner nor a Darkner—a sort of parallel to Flowey in Undertale, who wasn’t human nor monster. As for his existence, keeping with the theory that secret bosses are failed Ralseis, I’d like to think that he, too, is the discarded object of Kris’s headband—or, possibly created from the Dark Fountain itself after his creator gave up on the discarded object shtick. I think he is created to represent Kris’s more complicated feelings about themself and their family, but Ralsei is unaware of this and only knows he’s meant to be a guide to the Lightners and the third part of the Legendary Heroes. 
I don’t think he’s secretly evil—in fact, he might even be created by UT!Gaster to help save Deltarune’s world. Ralsei himself definitely seems to be on the side of good, even if he isn’t sure what that means for him. Do I think there’s something off about him? Yeah. But when push comes to shove, he’s going to have to make a choice, and I believe that choice will be in his friends’ favor.
Part 9: Reset Theory I believe the original Deltarune timeline was when the whole “new girl” post on Noelle’s blog happened. Over the course of that timeline, the Roaring did in fact occur, and Kris was unable to stop it no matter how many times they reloaded, and so gave up—similar to the six human kids giving up during their fight with Asgore. The key difference between Kris’s experience and the six kids is that something triggered a Reset in Kris’s timeline, rather than just quitting. Thing is, I don’t think the person who triggered the Reset was Kris—because just like Frisk and Chara don’t remember True Resets, Kris doesn’t act like they remember any of our Saves and Loads, let alone another entire timeline.
Enter UT!Gaster.
He, likely with the help of Frisk and Chara, triggered a Reset, where everything was the same—except for Kris’s soul, which is now Frisk’s. Together, all of us are trying to get a better ending, and if we fail, the world will be covered in darkness.
Part 10: The Plan What exactly are we trying to accomplish with Deltarune? A better ending, sure—that seems to be almost everyone’s end goal. But there also seems to be a lot of infighting. UT!Gaster wanted the Soul in a vessel; Chara discarded the vessel and put the Soul in Kris. Kris wants to help with the plan, but doesn’t like to be controlled. Everyone within the plan wants to stop the Roaring, but Kris and Chara seemingly arranged to make a Fountain together. And if the Soul shatters, we can reload, but if we don’t, UT!Gaster assumes that the world was “covered in darkness”—aka the Roaring.
So what’s going on?
I believe UT!Gaster and Chara have had the same goal from the beginning, but simply have different ways they want to accomplish it. UT!Gaster wants to create a vessel for Frisk and Chara, but Chara—efficient as ever—prefers to use the perfectly fine human who’s already there. Kris, although willing to help with this plan, does not fully trust the Soul, and obviously chafes against being controlled. As the Soul, Frisk’s purpose is to give us some more control over the narrative, as well as provide Kris with the Determination they need to manipulate the timeline and the Fountains.
But if that’s the case, why did Kris and Chara plan to pull the Soul out before creating the Fountain? 
Simple—Frisk didn’t know about the Fountain. Maybe the other two suspected they’d try and tell UT!Gaster (who would likely disapprove), or that they’d try to stop it from happening. Either way, they were intentionally kept out of the loop. We’ll probably find out the reason for creating the Fountain at all next chapter, but it was not an attempt to cause the Roaring.
Part 11: Kris, Frisk, Chara, and the Player If you don’t believe in Player Theory I’d just skip this part.
I think there are four parties involved with our choices during Deltarune. Chara has little to no control over individual actions, but can help by providing the extra information they have access to. Kris has a bit of their own agency, as shown whenever they move or say things on their own, and can control the way things are done. Frisk makes Kris stronger and supposedly is the one making the choices, and is the one behind the actions the Soul itself—like when it turns yellow during the Spamton NEO fight. 
But if these are the only people involved, there would be no cause for a Weird Route. Kris is obviously unhappy with the route. Chara and Frisk are post-Pacifist—and the “Proceed” and whatnot text doesn’t sound like something any of them would say. Plus, in Undertale, it’s established that while Frisk typically conforms to our decisions, they have their own preferences, and occasionally will act against us—like refusing to put effort into attacking Undyne during her hangout, walking at a slowed pace in the True Lab, and looking miserable when we tell them to ask for soda. I could ramble on forever about all of Frisk’s subtle characterizations, ‘cause there’s a LOT, but I won’t. My point is, someone else is pulling the strings—someone behind the scenes. 
There’s a lot of hints to this being us. Like, the real us, pushing buttons on a keyboard or console or what-have-you. For example, there’s a point where Ralsei will tell Kris to press one of the buttons—but this can’t be brushed off as Toby working tutorial stuff into the game like in Undertale, because Susie reacts to this with confusion, saying something among the lines of “Who the hell’s [A]?” 
Then there’s Jevil’s awareness that the world was a game. While this could just be referring to the fact that he’s a playing card, the other Darkners seem to know their nature as objects—Queen knows her serial number, Lancer+Rouxls can be taken into the Light World in Kris’s pocket, etc. Then again, Lancer also references pushing buttons in one of his signs, so who knows?
Part 12: The Roaring Let me start by saying that the plan is going to fail. The Roaring is going to happen.
I mean, we’re not getting off that easily—you saw the Prophecy. Kris, Susie, and Ralsei are destined to stop this calamity, and they can’t do that if the calamity never happens. Somehow, we’re going to get three Dark Fountains at the same time, probably around Chapter 6 or 7. All our friends will turn to stone, with the possible exception of people we have in our pockets, Seam (via the Shadow Crystals), and Ralsei. The key difference between this and the original timeline is that with the help of the Soul, Kris&co. will be strong enough to stop it.
Just a theory here, but I’m guessing that the third Dark Fountain will be created by Papyrus sometime after or during our hangout with him, and that in order to help the heroes stop the Roaring, he will have to sacrifice himself by leaving the world of Deltarune and going to the world of Undertale. Sans chooses to go with him. By doing this, both brothers are going to experience memory issues—Papyrus slightly more severely—which is the cause for the “Don’t forget” paper in their Undertale secret basement.
Other events leading up to and surrounding the Roaring may involve include learning what Ralsei’s deal is, a possible fight with Seam, Dess, the adult Lightners traveling to the Dark World, meeting either Gaster, and the reveal of what happened in the original timeline.
Part 13: Only One Ending? There is one ending to a completed Deltarune—the Roaring is stopped, Kris gets their own soul back, the skeletons are sent to Undertale, and Chara+Frisk go home. But the way this ending occurs will vary wildly.
I’m thinking that the Weird Routes for future chapters will only be available to those that did the Chapter 2 Weird Route—and all the ones after that. Similar to aborting a No Mercy route in Undertale, you need to stick to it the whole time to make it work. If you never take a Weird Route, you, Kris, and everyone else will part as friends. If you abort the Weird Route in later chapters, it’ll be a bit more tense. But if you continue the Weird Route through Chapter 7, Kris’s friends will have to help them break free of you.
Conclusion There are other, smaller theories and questions I have—whatever’s going on with Gerson and his family, for one—but this is the gist! I didn’t really proofread this, but if you stuck through the whole thing, well, congratulations! I’d love to hear your thoughts, whether you agree or disagree about any of this, or any add-ons. And, of course, I’m looking forward to being proven completely wrong when the next chapters come out!

Is Chara evil?
Is Chara from Undermourning evil? Well, Undermourning Chara is usually mean, arrogant and cruel. But does it mean he is evil?
First, I will answer - Is original Chara evil? No. Chara in game did nothing wrong. NOTHING They are dead, after all.
But did they do something wrong when they were alive? Well, they poisoned Asgore and laugh at it. But they didn’t poisoned Asgore intentional. Why should they do that? He was their father, person they loved. It was an accident. But... why did they laugh? Well, there is theory that monsters laugh pain of, but I don’t really think that is it.
Remember what Flowey said at Genocide Route, when he though Frisk was Chara?
“You’ve got SICK sense of humor!”
It even probably was Chara. Yes, Chara doesn’t force Frisk to kill monsters, but they sometimes has control over Frisk. But why do I talking about this? Well, becuase Chara probably do have sick sense of humor. They are probably sadist. Even Asriel, their best friend said that they weren’t the greatest person. But hey! Sadism means only that we like someone else’s pain. It doesn’t mean we actually want people to suffer. I know something about it. So it doesn’t mean that Chara is evil.
Chara from Undermourning is even better at this point. He didn’t laugh when he with Asriel accidently poisoned Asgore. He wasn’t even smiling. And generally - he doesn’t had original Chara’s sense of humor at all. 
But what about Chara’s plan? The truth is that the only person Chara ever killed is themself. Yes, they killed Sans, Asgore and Flowey at Genocide Route, but player force them to do this at this route. And we are talking about their past, so ignore this fact. So, how I said - the only person Chara ever killed is themself AND they did this to free their family. The persons that they loved. Asriel agreed to do this, even though they had to die, and he had to kill six humans. But yeah... what about killing humans? We actually don’t know did they wanted to kill all humans in their village. If they did I think it was their secondary goal. Their main goal was to free monsters. But... Asriel acually said that they wanted to kill those humans. Well, Chara wanted to do this mostly because they wanted to kill Asriel, in the first place.
What about Undermourning Chara? Well, at this point he is... worse. Asriel from my AU never agreed to do Chara’s plan. But Chara poisoned himself anyway. His wish about seeing golden flowers in his village was method to make Asriel do his plan. He wanted to kill all villagers, but he wanted to do this after taking six souls and destroing barrier. He wanted monsters’ freedom much more than revenge.  But how did he get know about that he will share control with Asriel over his body, if no one did this before them? Well, he were reading a lot about things useful at destroing barrier. About souls for example. He guessed. He guessed right. Besides... He had nothing to lose.
So, original Chara isn’t evil.  Undermourning Chara at least wasn’t evil. After all, he just wanted monsters’ freedom. Revenge is revenge. Justified. In story “Disagree” you can see that he had suicidal tendencies, but why should it has any matter at answering at question “Is he evil?”? Besides, probably original Chara had those tendencies either. After all, why does Toriel hide knives? Why does she use only magic fire? Why does she secured gardening tools? She did this, and still doing this becuase Chara wanted to kill themself (or/and intentionally harm themself) and she was afraid that next children that will fall could have suicidal tendencies too.
But okay, if Undermourning Chara wasn’t evil, is he evil now? Well, It’s thing that everyone have to judge themselves. As I said - he usually is arrogant, mean and cruel. BUT he is like this for people that aren’t clean. He hates almost everyone - humans, monster becuase they aren’t innocent. Even Papyrus, who was innocent in Undertale isn’t innocent in Undermourning. As royal guard he knows about Undyne’s plan and does nothing about it. Chara can be kind for innocent persons. He doesn’t hate Toriel, becuase she is acutally clean. He even can like Frisk at Undeclared War Route.  He want them all suffer becuase they are guilty. So, I can say that Undermourning Chara is neutral. But you have to judge him yourself.

Hey, Papyrus Anon Asks back again (yep, I was the sam person. Glad to see my awkward Vibes still going strong) Want more you say? Hehehe don't mind if I do.
The Charon
Got a bit (ok, a lot) inspired by the pap chat logs (I promise I'm not stalking you, complete coincidence) on ao3. Riverpapyrus in particular caught my eye. You see, I'm rather interested in mythology. The river person, to me, symbolised Charon. (Mysterious person in a boat, helping you cross the Underground? C'mon. A dreamer's gotta dream) A skeleton in a cloak, fulfilling an already Death-associated role? YES. I don't want to spend too long going on about it since it is just my spin off something you already know.
Side note: It'll also make both Sans and Papyrus have a role associated with gold so that's super neat.
Overtale
AU where the humans lost the war. Instead of determination, they find what they need is monster Hope. The only thing that remains after the monster dies. Here, it is not Asriel that Falls (why would he, he has a loving family at home), but a young skeleton called Wingdings (do you see where this is going?). He lives to adulthood, trying every method he can to break the barrier. Until one human, believed to be furious about the fact that a monster will likely be the one to save humanity, sabatages his lastest project to break down at a crucial moment. It dooms them both. Who would have guessed?
Things go on, a few more monsters Fall and proceed to get their dust harvested for the original Break The Barrier extravaganza since Wingding's tragic demise also spelled the end of better freedom plans. Thanks for nothing, Chara. (Hmm whatyasay). Life goes on. A new, less successful scientist is appointed, who dabbled a bit with Hope and necromancy before promptly realising just how bad of an idea that was. Everyone's starting to believe that they'd never be getting out. And then another monster Falls, one with enough Hope to break the barrier. One who looks strangely familiar. Another skeleton, one named Papyrus. 😏
Phew, this ask is getting a bit long and I STILL have more ideas ready to go. Guess I'll just send another ask when you least expect it 🙃
Hello again. :D
Sorry it took me so long to get to your comment. I really hope that you see this and haven’t given up on waiting for me to respond. ;w;
I’m glad you checked out the chatlogs. ^^ It’s very nostalgic to me to be part of those conversations. I agree that the River Person symbolizes Charon, or is sort of a reference to him. We never see who is underneath the cloak, but it would be interesting if they are also a skeleton.
Ooh, that sounds like an interesting AU. :o Humans being trapped instead of monsters but a similar event plays out. And having Papyrus as the playable character, with Gaster in the place of Chara, sounds like a lot of fun.
I hope to see you again, anon. ;w; I really do enjoy the asks you send and I’m so sorry it’s taken me so long to reply to them.

dusknoir from pmd if you'd like ? ^_^ or asriel if you'd rather talk abt ut!
Dusknoir pmd my beloved
Fav thing: His whole arc in SE5. I've said this before but not only does it give him a statisfying redemption arc, it also adds onto what we've known about him at this point. We get a better understanding of his motivation as an antagonist and him as a person. His pre-betrayal appearances now look less like he's trying to be not-evil and more like this is how he genuinely acts when the fate of the world and his own life isn't looming over him. SE5 is actually what made me fall head over heels for this character and his dialouge in the morning sun scene absolutely destroyed me the first time I saw it.
Least fav thing: I actually don't have any great issues with him. The only thing I could want is seeing more of him pre-betrayal outside the actual story. Does he sometimes look at the sun for too long? Does he do stuff that would be considered weird because he's fascinated by the most mundane things in world of the past? I'd love to see that.
Fanon pet peeve: I don't see this take commonly but I don't agree with fans saying it would've been more realistic of Dusknoir to go through with his final plan. He clearly disliked the dark world and Grovyle got him to face this fact and do something about it, despite his fears.

>Purplish Owners : The Royals
Purplish and pets Masterpost
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“The Purplish Owners (or SF Purplish I suppose), started like the fell and tale owners but grew up to be my take on the sf universe.  I planned the whole story of the underground and the route Wallet (Purplish Chara) took to get everyone to the Surface. For the same reason, I ended up with my own take on most of the cast of monsters and even did some formal designs, so I put alot of love into it and I think is time to share it”.
This is my take on the royal family! Now with they respective lore under the cut.
*You've reached the throne room ... It seems like no one is here.
> Purplish Asgore was an excellent leader, maybe too good.
 Wise and generous;  after the war with the humans and the confinement of the monsters underground, he tried to distribute the resources equitably among his people to ensure that everyone lived in the best possible way. The kingdom had been prosperous and rich, so there was enough to distribute, although that did not please the wealthy class of the capital at all. His doing became controversial for those who were corrupted greed. There was a plot against him and he ended up in the ruins.
>  Purplish Toriel is naive and ignorant. Younger than Asgore, she didn't have much prior preparation before taking her position as queen. Then the war against humans occurred and she was injured, leaving her blind. Given her condition, the king decided to release her from much of the responsibilities of her position, so she lived an easy life until the adoption of the first princes. Her poor ability was a complete contrast to her husband's wisdom, but they both loved each other and tried to work on it together,  giving hope to the kingdom as a family. But the tragedy struck and the image of the queen little by little lost the approval of the monster.
>  Purplish Frisk was the sweetest kid the kingdom ever knew. Really young when they fell to the underground, but welcome with love to the royal family along with MK. They were a brilliant light that filled everyone with hope, but like a shooting star, their light quickly extinguished. Many accuse the Queen for her carelessness, blamed for not being ready to be a mother. The whole kingdom agree that their death was the beginning of many misfortunes that befell the royal family. Only a few know the truth and how their deaths were intentional.
Here, there was a great plot against Asgore, considered too good to the people, especially for wanting to spend the riches of royalty on the poor. The death of the princes was the first plan to cause a rift between the king and Queen. Then, they faked the death of Asriel when he was born and finally, while the king was weakened by grief, there was an attack against him. Asgore had to flee and Toriel was lied, telling her that her husband had died.
Since the supposed death of her husband, She was devastated and not knowing what to do, let the royal advisors guide her, which it was what they planned. With that power, they have controlled the kingdom to their preference, lying to her about what the real conditions of the kingdom are. She lives in her happy bubble inside de castle, full of luxuries and with no idea of what her people is dealing with. In the other hand, the lowest blow Asgore got in his scape, was that the attackers proclaimed that it was the queen who ordered his assassination. What little he knows about the condition of the kingdom in his exile, he thinks is Toriel's doing.
>  Purplish Asriel is a little thief like all the kids on Snowdin. The ugliest puppy of the pack of dogs that lives there. He had to work twice as hard as his brothers to stand out and even so, the town consider him just...strange. Clearly there is something wrong with him. He totally believes he is a Dog, has no idea of his royal inheritance and neither does the town people, but it's not like they care anyway.
Fun Facts: 
-  When I thought about the story of Toriel in the context of this au, I liked the idea of vaguely inspiring her in Marie Antoinette. I felt that it made a good contrast to how competent and wise I've always seen sf!Asgore. Her main flaw is her ignorance and how she doesn't try/want to remedy it since she has it easy.
Toriel has no idea of the true end of the 6 human children who came to the kingdom. Her advisers created a simple lie and she believed them as with everything else. "The children will help the monsters to reach the surface again" and she asked no more.
-  Wallet is the first to ever question the whole "ugly dog" stuff, but again, it's not like anybody care about it. Not a single monster in snowdin believe them when they say they're human.
-  As I said before, the death of the princes was a plan by a few wealthy people who did not want to continue losing their wealth by having to share it with the poor. Asgore is a powerful boss monster, so they decided to weaken him and then, attack him from behind.

undertale rant plz i wanna hear
Alright so uh. This is just a rant about Flowey, let me know if you want me to rant about any other characters? This might not be the most entertaining thing to read, but uh here.
This is incredibly messy and poorly written so. Oops.
Please know that throughout this post I will be calling the first fallen human "the first fallen human" or "the human" and not "Chara". I really like that you get to pick their name, I feel like that's a really important part of the game, so I'd rather not call them by any specific name here.
I have so much to say
This will mostly be an analysis because I love this character a lot
So let’s go over the backstory. (This is gonna be like. Most of the rant. Just me analyzing certain elements of the backstory.)
Asriel lives underground in New Home with his parents, Toriel and Asgore.
One day, he finds a human and takes them home with him. The two eventually become as close as siblings.
The first fallen human comes up with a plan to free monsterkind from the underground, destroying the barrier forever.
Their plan is:
- they will commit suicide by eating buttercups and getting sick
- Asriel will absorb their soul and cross through the barrier to the surface world
- Asriel will kill six humans and absorb their souls
- Asriel will destroy the barrier with the power of seven human souls
The plan goes wrong because of the following:
- the first fallen human picks up their own lifeless body
- they want to see the golden flowers from the surface world one last time
- they set down their body into the flowers
- the humans see this and believe that Asriel killed the first fallen human
- Asriel is killed by the humans and stumbles back home
- Asgore decides to start a war against humans
When Asriel set the first fallen human down into the flowers, the sticky seeds stuck to him. He died underground, and the seeds were scattered in his dust. These flowers grew in the throne room, and the seeds stuck to anyone that went in there, spreading the golden flowers across the underground. The first flower to grow became known as the “flower from the outside world”.
Alphys, the royal scientist, was doing an experiment with what she called “determination”. She wanted to see what would happen if a being without a soul gained the will to live. This resulted in the flower from the outside world coming to life.
At monster funerals, they spread the dust of a monster onto the thing that monster loved most. Their essence then lives on in that item.
Asriel’s dust was scattered across the garden, so his essence lived on in the flowers.
When Alphys gave life to a flower, the essence of Asriel made it so that the flower had all of Asriel’s memories. However, because the flower was soulless, he could not feel emotions very deeply. He no longer felt loved or respected, and he didn’t feel connected to the people around him.
Flowey also discovered the power to reset. This meant that he could restart the timeline from the day he first woke up in the garden. He discovered this power after trying to commit suicide. His death resulted in him respawning at the garden. He presumably got this power because of the determination Alphys had given him.
Flowey, despite being emotionless, tried to be nice in many timelines. He tried helping people, and being friends with people.
After his death as Asriel, Flowey blamed himself for his and the human’s death. He felt like if he had fought back against the humans, they would still be alive and free.
This eventually led to the decision of a terrible worldview: the idea that the world is “kill or be killed”.
After he had been through many timelines, Flowey realized that he had pretty much already tried everything. He had already made every decision. Already had every conversation. He thought of trying something new.
He decided he was done making friends.
As his LOVE increased, it became easier to hurt others. And since he did not have emotions, he didn’t feel very bad about it.
It’s Frisk’s decision whether or not to forgive him. I, personally, do. I especially think that his worldview changed at the end of the game, specifically because of Asriel’s line “don’t kill and don’t be killed”. While this was Asriel and not Flowey, I like to think that it stuck with him a little bit.
So I guess now I’m gonna talk more about like. My opinions and headcanons and stuff.
So I don’t think Flowey would ever want to be called “Asriel” again. He is a very different person than he used to be. He has been through so much and he can hardly be considered the same person, even if he has Asriel’s essence and memories. He also does not want to break anyone’s heart again, as he says.
It is an interesting discussion to be had, actually. What makes someone who they are? Like, is it their personality? Their memories? Their soul?
Flowey is not a monster and does not have Asriel’s soul. But he has Asriel’s essence and memories. His personality has changed a lot, but that was mostly over time. Idk.
I really wish we had known more about Flowey and Papyrus’ friendship. I find it weird that Papyrus doesn’t actually know his name? But maybe that’s just in this timeline, it’s possible that they were closer in some other timelines.
There’s a lot of fun dialogue about the two of them, especially in phone calls with Papyrus, but I feel like we still don’t know a lot. I wish we could have heard an actual conversation between them.
I do really feel like Flowey needs like. A therapist. He’s been through so much and he needs to like. Talk about it with someone.
He has seen his friend commit suicide, he has actually died, he has attempted suicide, he has become a soulless and emotionless flower, he has watched many people die multiple times- he just. Needs therapy I think.
I do really wonder what would happen if everyone else discovered that he was the prince. As I said, I think he’d be uncomfortable being called “Asriel”, but they’d probably be more likely to forgive him. I don’t think he’d want them to know, but if everyone else did actually find out, there’s a lot of possibilities for what could happen next.
In case anyone is wondering, I don’t think the first fallen human is a bad person, either. I don’t even think they’re to blame for the genocide route, Frisk (or the player) was the one killing people. They’ve been through pretty much the same things as Flowey and I think they deserve forgiveness too.
I agree with Asriel’s point that they may not have been the nicest person, but I don’t think that makes them horrible or undeserving of forgiveness and kindness.
Can I just say that. Asriel is so well-written. The entire plot twist that Flowey was Asriel all along blew my fucking mind. I love the videotapes and the fact that Asriel is the final boss and oh my god just everything about him.
So much thought went into this story. Toby really clearly wanted the player to care about these characters. And the player is not forced to forgive Flowey, the player doesn’t even need to like Flowey, but they’re supposed to notice that he is a complex character with a deep and important story. Flowey isn’t just some evil flower guy. There’s a reason behind everything he does. It’s amazing.

I Decided To Watch The Walkthrough Of Deltarune Chapter 2
I was really happy that Chapter 2 was finally ready, but because of reasons... I wasn't able to play it, I mean I wanted to.
but whenever I clicked on it, it ended up showing that small blue message. saying that it might put the PC at risk.
I don't know if I should try to play it or not, maybe nothing will happen and it will just play the game with no problems.
but that message did pop up before,
when I wanted to play that Undertale Kissy Cutie fan game.
the Undertale Don't Forget Fan Game, it works just fine.
those two games didn't have that blue message pop up,
when I clicked on them.
so something must be causing it to happen,
I want to know if it will be okay to play those games.
if others have been having the same problems, but were also worried about playing it because of the blue message.
maybe someday they will have a update for those games where that blue message wont pop up and everything will be fine.
also I wonder if my seeing Toriel as a off-white purple colors, might of been a trick of the eyes...?
what I mean is, that maybe it was....I don't know.
also ya know like the Pie Was Canon, cause  someone's fan animation ended up predicting what was gonna happen in Deltarune.
turns out that Kris really did eat the whole pie.  and by the looks of it, from what I have seen in the walkthrough of Deltarune's Chapter 2.
I think that one of the Comics of Deltarune, might of predicted the future......
well Semi-Future.
so what happens at the school in Deltarune, is canon in the game.
of course there are still some differences from what happens in Chapter 2
and the AU-Comic.
maybe it is me that thinks that a comic predicated what was going to happen in the very start of the Chapter 2....
it took some hours, but I was able to finish watching it.....still wish I could of played it.
but like I said, that blue message that pop up made me decide not to at the moment because it says it might put The PC at risk.
so I'm not sure if it really would, but I don't want to risk it.
so I still have chapter 2 of the game, but I just can't play it right now sadly.
I got to say that the romances in the game was sure interest...
can't wait to see the ships.
well with any hope, all the chapters of Deltarune will be on a Nintendo Switch Game Card someday, maybe in a few years.
hopefully the Cuphead Game will be on a game card too, I still haven’t beaten that game sadly....I really need to try to get one of my family to be my player-2
so that I can maybe beat the hard bosses.
yeah know, Cuphead and Mugman should have common sense not to go into a casino that is run by the Devil.
well them and the debtors, the debtors should of had some sense not to make a deal with the Devil.
I wonder if it’s weird to have thoughts of flipping off the Grandpa Watchers and Nephilim.....? 
or the whole having thoughts of flipping off the Devil himself too...?
and in case there is any confusion, the “Watchers” were Angels....
well I think I would have it in my right to do a double flip the birdy off of them...
for some odd reason a little bit of the song “it’s my life” pop into my head just now....
guess you could say history repeats itself lol.
I mean, if what those mortal men wrote about it is true....
but it is likely one of their fibs.....maybe?
the song it’s my life, it’s by Bon Jovi.
as soon as that song pop into my head, I just had to listen to it.
  even though I might not be able to play Chapter 2 for a while because of the issues that prevent me from playing it.
I did enjoy watching the walkthrough of the chapter 2.
it was worth watching it for hours, plus I was surprised by what happen in the start of the chapter 2....well it happen when Kris went to school and there was something that happen there, which reminded me of well Paper Trial.
I do plan to read more of it on here, of course there is still differences.
but a certain thing that happens at the start of the Chapter 2,
reminds me of it but I wont say what....but what happens in that game that reminds me of Paper Trial, also reminds me of the The Pie Is Canon.
cause of that fan animation that had Kris saying that they were going to eat the whole pie, and it turns out the Chapter 2 Trailer shows that they did in fact eat the whole pie.
so The Pie being ate by Kris at the very end of Chapter 1, is 100% Canon.
 if there was fight between Susie from Deltarune and Cuphead from the Cuphead series.
I think Susie would win, at least I think she would.
plus Cuphead would have to be out of his mind to pick a fight with Susie.
I’m also starting to wonder if Asriel (the one from Deltarune)
might be a bit of a perv...? ^_^;;
if that book he borrowed from the library is a clue and him NEVER returning it.
well, I say it is possible.
Flowey: Has He Have No Shame!?
after finishing listening to it’s my life, I started to listen to some other music.....I’m listening to Equestria Girls songs now.
the magic of friendship is a wonderful thing, but like Sunset said before....
it can be turned into something else, and with how most of the problems in Equestria was solved by turning the “Bad Guys” to stone,
instead of just talking with them and trying to understand their point of view...
I think Sunset and her friends are a bit more better in reforming the bad guys.
I know that not all bad guys from a movie or cartoon or video game series
can be redeemed, that is because they are too far gone or have been really dark from the start.  
  but sometimes a villain, is just a tragic villain who has been hurt by someone either physically, psychology and or emotionally......or all of the above.
it might not be very easy to heal from the wounds.
it might even make you, not as happy as you use to be.     
and when you see a picture of how happy you seem before,
you can just tell that the you that is now, isn’t as happy as the you that is in the picture.
does that make sense...?
but you might still have happy moments and still be okay, and at some days
I don’t believe it is good or right for a Hero or Main Character,
to cross a line when it does not need to be crossed.
like making Magic the scapegoat, and having it be destroyed.
I mean Star Butterfly’s family had been the ones to misuse the magic,
so the magic itself was NEVER the problem....it was her family that was the problem because of their misuse of it.
and Cozy, Tirek and Chrysalis could of been reformed if they were spoken to and asked why they were doing it....I still think the “Magic of Friendship”
did cause Chrysalis some trauma, and that is why she broke out of the feeling good bond she was forming with Tirek and Cozy.
I get it, she was hurting, what she’s been through made her distrustful towards friendship and the ponies that took her family away from her.
even if she does have trauma, she might still care about Cozy and Tirek deep down.....well that is what I believe anyway.
 cause in a way, those three are a adoptive family and they need each other.
 what Discord, Celestia and Luna did to them,
I will not agree was the best course of action.
at least in Steven Universe Future, they solved the problem with Steven the right way....and like it was pointed out in that video I mention from Youtube.
the problem started at the VERY beginning in the Steven Universe Series.
even if Pearl, Amethyst and Garnet love Steven,
they still Semi-Neglected him, but not as much as Greg had.
and the video did point out some very important facts.
all the stuff that happen in Steven Universe, was going to erupt in time....
and when it did, it started to in the Steven Universe Future.
we can’t pretend that there was nothing wrong with Steven,
or like after he got back from space and after the whole Lars dying and coming back to life....
Connie didn’t try to see that Steven was trying to act like everything was fine,
and she shouldn’t just make it about herself, yes she had a right to her feelings and to wanting to be there for Steven, but Steven had been through a lot and he was hurting too. it is still good that they made up at some point.
and it is good that Connie finally figured out that there was something wrong with him, and they ended up as boyfriend and girlfriend at the end of Steven Universe Future.
maybe there is a lesson in both Steven Universe and Steven Universe Future.        
if we re-watch Steven Universe, we might can see why he ends up the way he does in Steven Universe Future and how it ended up causing him extreme emotional pain that would at some point make him view himself as Monster to the point of transforming into a type of Gem-Kaiju. 
it took everyone of his friends and family, to get through to him and give him what he needed, for them to hug him, and to be there for him when he was at his lowest.
Steven was at his lowest, it is possible the breaking point might of started at the first episode of Steven Universe Future or maybe in the Movie...who knows.
but at least he is seeing a therapist, he did say that he is seeing one now.
we can’t pretend the problem that Steven was having, didn’t first start at the early series....we just need to try to understand that it was going to break him past the breaking point and that it was gonna become too much for him.
even if Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst did technically  live with him
(and Amethyst became mature enough at some point to comfort him a bit more, and not just act like the teasing older sister.)
they still were half the cause of what happen to him, even if they made sure to help him with his gem powers and with other stuff.
they still ended up not taking care of him when he needed it.
and he might of thought it was normal, at least until he learned later on in Steven Universe Future, that it wasn’t.
even what his Dad did wasn’t okay, I get that Greg’s relationship with his own parents wasn’t perfect, but he is just as bad as them.
yes there could be reasons why Greg never got his way,
like one of the theories being that one of his parents had very sensitive hearing and couldn’t take really loud music.
another theory I have is that Steven might of went to go live his Grandparents when he left Beach City.
even if his Grandparents could be disappointed with Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst, they might still see them as a bit more responsible than their son Greg.....who could end up having their full disappointment.
  Greg ended up with so much money, and yeah he could of still treat himself.
but he could of send Steven to the hospital, and even hire a tutor for Steven.
but no, he doesn’t do that at all.
and we know what happen in Steven Universe Future
when Doctor Maheswaran points out some very important facts to Steven.
and Steven ends up getting really mad at his Dad, which I don't’ blame him for getting mad, plus the wreck wouldn’t of happen if Greg had stop being so insensitive to Steven’s feelings of wanting to have what he had and took for granted.
Greg only made things worse, with his talk of “freedom”
and even the whole “Gem” thing....
being a Gem, is only half of who Steven is.
and all his life, he was made to think he was only made to be like a replacement for his Mother....and even question what he is for, like with the whole Nora episode.
I still love Steven Universe, as well as the Movie and the Steven Universe Future. 
even if it takes myself and other fans to finally realize that Steven’s problems didn’t first start in Steven Universe Future, BUT in the first series.
and over time during Steven’s childhood it was only getting worse.
we want to believe that Steven’s life was perfect in the first series,
and the bad times he had in most of them, he got through with a smile on his face with no problems at all.         
who knows what the next show will be that Rebecca Sugar will make next,
but I know I wouldn’t mind seeing what comes next, just got to keep a eye out.
also you know how I believe the Darkners from Deltarune
are Tulpa, and from what we see in Chapter 2,
the new Darkners we see in it, are also Tulpa
and there are many different type of Tulpa.
well, I can’t help but wonder if Chara might be a Tulpa.
it is possible that the Red Soul in Undertale and the one in Deltarune,
are one in the same and are Chara.
and when the Player meets Chara after a Geno-Run....
they are really meeting them inside of Frisk’s Head.
I think it is possible that in Undertale, memories have been rewritten by the Man Who Speaks In Hands.
and the human that Prince Asriel befriended and became family to,
wasn’t Chara......but Kris.
with no soul, the Chara-Soul was placed inside the empty body that was buried under the bed of flowers.
 that is possible, but it might just be a theory that might not end up being true.
unless it is....well I do have a theory that Undertale will be one of the chapters.
if that happens that means Crossover, or not....it is just a theory after all.
it be really awesome if that turn out to be true.
a future Chapter having a Crossover between those two games would be really interesting.
I think it might be possible that the two games could be cleaved worlds, once being one in the same before splitting and breaking apart.
we can think about what was originally going to be in the original version,
as the original world before splitting into Undertale and Deltarune.
Chapter 2 was Awesome, well even if I could only watch a walkthrough of it and I couldn’t play it because of what I spoke about before in this....
but I hope that I will be able to play it sometime.
but for now, I am happy with just watching it until I am able to play it myself.

Tickle Me Azzy
Happy New Year, everyone! :D And to kick off 2021, here is a belated Christmas-themed request I did for Rubygirl692 on DeviantArt. She wanted a tickle story involving Frisk and Asriel and I felt that a Christmas setting taking place 7 months after the events of “Tickles of Justice” and 14 months after the events of Undertale would be perfect for those two and fun fact, this is the first holiday-themed story I’ve ever written. So, with in mind, feel free to let me know what you think in the comments… or in notes. ;)
 Undertale© Toby Fox.
 TICKLE ME AZZY
 It is December 22; 3 days before Christmas; and Frisk and Asriel are currently alone in their mother's house. Currently, it is 6 pm and at this time, Frisk and Asriel are wrapping Christmas presents together in Toriel's living room; a few feet away from their large beautifully decorated Christmas tree; their last presents to Toriel, Asgore, Chara, and friends to be exact. With Toriel at a school staff party, and Asgore and Chara working at the mall as a mall Santa and elf respectively, it seemed like the perfect time to do so. Frisk and Asriel love Christmas very much and in a few days, they will be celebrating their second Christmas together on the Surface after the destruction of the Barrier 14 months ago. It's such a special time of year for both of them and one of their ways of getting into the holiday spirit is swapping out their usual striped shirts with red and green striped shirts to wear along with their usual color pants (Asriel's are black and Frisk's are blue); same stripe patterns as their usual striped shirts, just different colors (the green stripes on Asriel's Christmas shirt are a darker shade of green and the other stripes are red rather than yellow; and Frisk's shirt is red with two green stripes instead of blue with two pink stripes). Chara does this as well. Every Christmas, she wears a green shirt with her usual brown pants that's the same shade of green as her usual green shirt but with a red stripe rather than a yellow stripe. But one thing has changed this year however. Frisk and Chara, instead of wearing Christmas socks a lot of the time, have chosen to bare their feet every time they are indoors and in non-public settings. The reason being is because they painted their toenails red and green this year and just can't resist showing them off every chance they get. And nobody can really blame them either! Especially since their nail polish colors alternate between red and green; Frisk with green nail polish on her, right pinky finger, right middle finger, right thumb, left index finger, left ring finger, left pinky toe, left middle toe, left big toe, right index toe, and right ring toe and red nail polish on her right ring finger, right index finger, left thumb, left middle finger, left pinky finger, left ring toe, left index toe, right big toe, right middle toe, and right pinky toe; and Chara with red nail polish on her right pinky finger, right middle finger, right thumb, left index finger, left ring finger, left pinky toe, left middle toe, left big toe, right index toe, and right ring toe and green nail polish on her right ring finger, right index finger, left thumb, left middle finger, left pinky finger, left ring toe, left index toe, right big toe, right middle toe, and right pinky toe. Christmas fingers and toes! :D Perfect for one cute little girl that recently turned 13 (Chara on November 30) and another cute little girl that will be turning 13 the following month (Frisk on January 7)! X3
 Asriel: Hehe. Wow, Frisk! You’re good at that. …You make it look so easy! *said Asriel to Frisk while sitting on the floor in a cross-legged position next to the Christmas tree, complimenting her superb wrapping job on every present she’s wrapped so far* What’s your secret?
 Frisk: Hee hee. Well, for starters, I don’t have fur that keeps getting stuck to the tape. *joked Frisk, who’s currently on her knees; barefoot in jeans and wiggling her toes cutely against the floor* Heeheeheeheehee!
 Asriel: Ha, ha; very funny. *said Asriel sarcastically in response* But yeah, you’re right.
 Frisk: Heeheehee! Would you like some help? *asked Frisk, moving closer towards Asriel*
 Asriel: Hehe; sure. I’ll cut and fold the paper, you tape. Sound good?
 Frisk: Heeheehee! You got it, fluffy boy.
 Sometime later… after all of the presents were wrapped…
 Frisk: Annnnnnnnd done! Great job, Azzy!
 Azzy: Hehe. All thanks to you.
 Frisk: Heeheehee. Awwww! X3
 Azzy: Can't wait to see everyone's reactions when they open their presents in a few days! I bet they're all going to love their presents very much!
 Frisk: Hehe; they better! Mom worked hard knitting those hats, mittens, scarves, and tail warmers for everyone!
 The tail warmers are for Alphys, MK, Rocco, Lydia, GK, and Rex. The lizards! X3
 Asriel: Hehe, yeah. ...Oh! Remember that time Mom, Dad, Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, and Alphys all played hockey together?
 Frisk: Hehe. Of course I remember! That was the talk of the town for quite some time last winter! And a lot of that had to do with some weirdo writing an article all about it on the Internet! Though funny, it was kind of inaccurate to how it all really played out to be honest.
 Asriel: Pfft! Kind of inaccurate?! (More like super inaccurate! Lol.) Well that’s certainly putting it lightly, my dear sister. Hahaha!
 Frisk: Heeheehee, yeah. But, hey, that's what writers do. They like putting their own little spin on things. Especially during that part where they talked about how Mom and Sans didn’t know what the heck they were doing and made them sound like they were flirting with each other! (They read how to play hockey beforehand for gosh sake! Why would they agree to play a game that they don’t know how to play?! XD) Oh! And that other part where they talked about Sans doing some cringy victory dance! (Oh my god, Sans was NOT happy when he read that part!) Heeheeheehee. Silly guy… or silly woman! Everyone knows that Sans doesn't dance. ...Well, at least not while others are watching. Heeheeheehee.
 Asriel: Heeheeheeheehee. I know, right? Heeheeheeheehee.
 Frisk: ...Wait, why did you bring up the hockey game just now! That was very… random of you, Azzy!
 Asriel: Hehe. Just thinking about how fun it might've been if we had participated in that game. Ooh, but I don't like wearing ice skates though. You know, seeing as how I… never wear shoes. *said Asriel while wiggling his six toes cutely*
 Frisk: You could always skate barefoot like Mom, Dad, and Alphys did. Your feet can handle the ice.
 Asriel: Haha! Very true! But who needs to ice skate when you can go sledding instead?
 Frisk: Oooooooh, yeah! Do you think that Santa will get you that sled you've been wanting, Azzy?
 Asriel: Hehe. Well, after getting me that red bike I wanted last year, I'd say that there’ll be a sled next to that tree in a few days.
 Another thing Frisk and Asriel (and Chara as well) do to get into the holiday spirit is talk about Santa like he’s a real person. They know that Santa isn’t real but pretending that he is real and the one responsible for giving them their presents every year just brings them so much joy and happiness; and last year, they went the extra mile by setting out milk and cookies on the night of Christmas Eve before going to bed and they certainly plan on doing so again this year too; for Asgore when he shows up dressed as Santa Claus to put their presents beside and/or under their Christmas tree; or inadvertently, the Annoying Dog if he happens to be skulking around Toriel’s house when he’s not supposed to be. XD
 Frisk: Haha! I’ll have to take your word for it. …And, um, while we’re on the topic of Christmas presents, I got you a little something, Azzy. *said Frisk a bit shyly*
 Asriel: *excited gasp* You did? What?
 Frisk: Heeheehee. Close your eyes.
 Asriel: Oh. Uh, ok then. Hehe. *said Asriel in response, giggling while doing what Frisk asked him to do*
 Frisk: Heeheehee. Perfect! Now, keep those eyes closed until I give you permission to open them, ok, mister? *said Frisk politely*
 Asriel: Heeheehee. You got it, Frisk.
 Frisk Heeheehee. Ok, just checking.
 About one minute later…
 Frisk: Heeheehee. Ok, you can open them now.
 As Asriel opened his eyes, Frisk handed him a mirror and when he looked at himself in the mirror, he was overly excited to see that Frisk had tied a red ribbon around his neck; a beautiful red ribbon, one that wasn’t too loose or too tight; just the right size. X3
 Asriel: *excited gasp* OH MY GOSH, I LOVE IT! *exclaimed Asriel excitedly; hugging and nuzzling Frisk with glee and blushing noticeably red* Oh my gosh, I love it so much! Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! Heeheeheeheehee~!
 Frisk: Pffffffff… Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!! *giggled Frisk preciously in response, giggling due to Asriel’s fur tickling her as he nuzzled her and rubbed his face against her own as if he were a cat* Azzeeheeheeheey!!! Heeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!! Azzy, cohohoohohome on!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhaahahahahahahaha!!! You knohohohohohohow how much that tihihhihihihickles me!!! Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheheeeheehee!!! *snort* Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee~!!!
 Asriel: Heeheeheeheehee! Of course I do! That’s why I do it, silly! *Asriel then said cutely to Frisk as he stopped nuzzling her* Heeheeheeheehee!
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!! I don’t blame you; and I’m very happy to hear you love your early Christmas present from me too! X3 It looks so good on you, Azzy!
 Asriel: Heeheeheehee! I agree! X3
 Frisk: Heeheeheehee! And, uh, speaking of early Christmas presents… Heeheehee! Presents, presents, presents, presents; presents, presents, presents, presents! *sang Frisk, scurrying towards the Christmas tree and lying down on the floor next to it to eyeball her Christmas presents that she’s super excited to open in a few days… or in a few seconds XD*
 Frisk knows enough not to open her presents until Christmas Day. She’s just messing with Asriel, that’s all; like she has been for the past week or so.
 Asriel: Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! *bleated Asriel nervously in response* No, Frisk! Get away from those! We’ve told you multiple times! You have to wait until Christmas!
 With Frisk lying down on the floor next to the Christmas tree to look at her presents tucked underneath of it, she has left her bare feet completely vulnerable. So, with that observation in mind, maybe there’s something Asriel can do to those bare feet of Frisk’s that will convince her to wait until Christmas to open her presents; or, punish her for opening her presents too early. ;)
 Frisk: Aw, come on! Just a peek! Please; pretty please; pretty please with a cherry on top? *asked Frisk, wiggling her toes in an unintentionally teasing manner while sliding underneath the tree a bit further to get a better view of her presents*
 Asriel: Frisk, you get away from those presents or else…
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheehee; or else what, Mr. Fluffy Puffykins? *asked Frisk cheekily, wiggling her toes in an unintentionally teasing manner once again* Heeheeheeheehee! Huh? Hey, wait! Wait a minute!
 All of sudden, Asriel positioned himself on top of Frisk's legs; trapping them underneath his own legs with his back facing towards her own back; and then shortly afterwards, he tickled her bare feet, scribbling his furry fingers wildly up and down her soles.
 Asriel: Coochie coochie coo! Coochie coochie coo! *Asriel teased* Heeheeheeheehee!
 Frisk: EEEEEEEEHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! *Frisk squealed and laughed hysterically in response, letting her ticklishness get the best of her* AZZY, NUUUUUUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHU!!!!!! *SNORT* *SNORT* NOT MY FEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEET!!!!!! *she pleaded through her laughter, flailing on the floor like a fish out of water* HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! *SNORT* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!! GYAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!
 Asriel: Hee hee hee. Not your feet? Hee hee hee. Then how about your toooooooooes? *asked Asriel cheekily, grinning like a mischievous young man as he began playing with Frisk's toes. Heeheeheeheehee! Kitchie kitchie kitchie koo, look who's tickling you! *he teased, sticking his fingers in between her toes to brush his fur against those overly sensitive toe stems of hers*
 Frisk: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!! *Frisk squealed hilariously in response, wiggling each of her toes wildly with every passing second as Asriel tickled in between and around each one of them, letting his fluffy and tickly fur do all of the work* HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHHAHHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! NOHOHOHOHOHO, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, NOT THERE!!!!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! NOHOHOHOHOHOT THEHEHEHEEHHEHERE!!!!!! *SNORT* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEHEEHEEHEEEHEEHEEEHEEEEHEEHEEEHEEHEEEEHEEHEEHEEHEE~!!!!!!
 Asriel: Hahahahahahahaha!
 After about a minute or so, Asriel sang a little song, a verse from "Holly Jolly Christmas" but with different words; and it caught Frisk by surprise so much that she lost all focus to her surroundings. She found Asriel's song incredibly hilarious; but also incredibly cute; and she wound up laughing so hard and so much to the point that her laughter grew silent at least 4 times during the next 2 minutes or so.  
 Asriel: Oh, ho, Frisk's Dreemurr's toes; cute just like her feet. Somebody tickle her. Make her laugh with glee. *sang Asriel cutely as he continued tickling Frisk's feet*
 Frisk: BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! AZZY, OH MY GOHOHOHOOHOHOHOHOD!!!!!!! *shouted Frisk through her even more hysterical laughter, lying down on the floor and making no attempts to tickle Asriel back due to how hard she's laughing at both tickles to her bare feet and Asriel's song* [HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!] *she laughed silently for a few seconds, overtaken by her laughter so much that all she could think about was laughing* EEEEHEEHEEHEHEEHEEHEEHEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEHEEEHEHEEHEE!!!!!!! OHOHOHOHOH MY GOHOHOHOHOHOD, AZZY, HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA, YOU FLUFFY GOHOHOHHOAT BOHOHOHOHOY, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHA, YOU CRACK MEEHEEHEEHEE UP SOHOHOHOHOHOHO MUCH!!!!!!! *SNORT* *SNORT* [HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!] *SNORT* GYAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!
 Asriel: Hahahahahaha! Oh my gosh, that silent laughter! That’s when I know I’m getting you good, Frisk! Really good! Hahahahahaha! Kitchie kitchie kitchie kitchie koo! *teased Asriel once more, picking up the pace a bit with his furry fingers* I’m still tickling you! Hahahahahaha!
 Frisk: GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA~!!!!!!!
 Frisk laughed at both tickles to her feet and Asriel’s song for a good two minutes; and just when Frisk thought that she was finally finished laughing at Asriel’s song, Asriel sang another song; this time, a verse from “The Christmas Song” (aka “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire”) but with different lyrics; and made her laugh incredibly hard once again.
 Asriel: Snail pie roasting on a magic fire. Goat Bro tickling your soles. Hahahahahahaha!!
 Frisk: PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF… HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! AZZY, STOHOHHOHOHOHOHOP SINGING AND TIHIHIHIHICKLING MY FEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEET!!!!!!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!! YOHOHOHOHOHHOHOHHOHOHOU’RE KILLING ME HEHEHEHEHEHERE, BUDDY!!!!!!!! *Frisk claimed falsely through her hysterical laughter, blushing heavily as the tickles to her bare feet continued* [HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!!] *she laughed silently again; for all she could do at this point was laugh* EEEEEEHEEHEHEEHEHEEHEHEEHEHEHEEHEHEEEHEEHEHEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!!!!!!!! *SNORT* *SNORT* GYAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!
 Asriel: Hahahahahaha! Uh-huh, suuuuuurrrre I am! *said Asriel cheekily in response as he continued scribbling his fingers rapidly against Frisk's soles in addition to swirling and twirling his fingers in between her toes against the stems of each of them, letting his fur and scritchy nails/claws do all of the work once again* Hahahahahaha~!
 Frisk: HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! YOOHOOHOOHOOU AHAHHAHAHARE!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!! HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! YOU'RE GIVING ME TOOHOOHOOHOO MANY THING TO LAHAHAHAHAHAHAUGH ABOUT!!!!!!!! *SNORT* [HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!] *SNORT* *SNORT* BWARGHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHA~!!!!!!!!
 Asriel: Hahahahahaha! I most certainly am! *Asriel then exclaimed both cheekily and joyfully, seconds before blowing 4 long raspberries on the balls and heels of Frisk's bare feet; one on her right heel, one on the ball or her right foot, one on her left heel, and one on the ball of her left foot* Haha! Pbfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!!
 Frisk: GYAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! AZZEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!!!!!!!! *SNORT* [HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!!] *SNORT* *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA!!!!!!!! CUHUHUHUHUHURSE YOU, FLUFFY BOHOHHOHOHOHOY!!!!!!!! *SNORT* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!! GYAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!
 Asriel is having so much fun tickling Frisk's bare feet; and Frisk had it coming too! Not just for supposedly trying to open her Christmas presents early but also for not wearing shoes and socks in her friends' and relatives' home this month! If being around fluffy boss monsters for more than a year has taught Frisk one thing, it's that being barefoot makes her feet much more inviting targets for tickle torture. ;) But Frisk was willing to take that chance this month though and multiple times, she paid the penalty! She and Chara both did! XD But she's not complaining about it though. She loves being tickled on her bare feet. Especially by her loved ones! But sometimes however, it can be a bit much; and Asriel is aware of that too, which is why he is planning on pulling her out from under the tree after at least three more minutes of tickle torture. So, until those three minutes are up, the only thing Frisk will be doing is laughing. Due to being stuck under the Christmas tree with Asriel sitting on top of her legs, it's all she can do! XD
 3 minutes later…
 Asriel: Hahahahahahaha! Ok, Frisk, I’ll pull you out now. *said Asriel, stopping his ticklish assault on Frisk’s bare feet* You ok?
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!!!! Yehehehehehes!!!!! *answered Frisk, laughing and giggling due to phantom tickles as Asriel pulled her out from under the Christmas tree* Heeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!!!! Oh my gosh, thahahahahahat was so fuhuhuhuhun!!!!! *she added, rolling onto her back while wiggling and splaying her 10 little toes to shake the tickly sensations in all of them plus her soles* Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! *snort* Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee~!!!!!
 Asriel: Heeheeheehee! Good! Because now it’s time for me to give you an early Christmas present!
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheehee!!!!! Whahahahahahahahat?!?! A prehehehehehesent?!?! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! Fohohohohor meeheeheeheehee?!?! *asked Frisk both excitedly and confusedly while giggling and moving into a sitting position on the floor, curious as to what Asriel is planning to give her as a present* Heeheeheeheeheeheeheehee… Heeheeheehee… Heeheehee… Heehee... Hee……… What? What is it? What did you get me, hmm?
 Asriel: Something veeeeerrrrrry special. *answered Asriel, blushing red and giggling preciously while picturing how Frisk might react to his present* It’s in the basement; but d-d-don’t come down until I c-call you, all right?
 Frisk: Oh, um, o-ok then. *said Frisk awkwardly* But why do I have to wait? Is it not wrapped yet or something? *she then asked, confused as to why she wasn’t allowed to immediately follow Asriel downstairs and into the basement of Toriel’s house*
 Asriel: *sigh* Just trust me, ok? I shouldn’t be too long.
 And with that, Asriel went downstairs to supposedly do what he said he was going to do; and while waiting, Frisk just sat on the floor and admired her red and green toenail polish as she wiggled her toes lightly against the floor. Frisk doesn’t know what Asriel is intending to give her as an early Christmas present but whatever it is, she knows that she will love it no matter what. It’s the thought that counts after all but Asriel usually tends to give his friends and relatives some very thoughtful and creative presents anyway. And this year is certainly no exception! ;)
 5 minutes later…
 *Frisk’s cell phone rings*
 Frisk: Hello?
 Asriel: Ok, Frisk; you can come down now.
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheehee! Awesome!
 After a short waiting period, Frisk went down to the basement to see what Asriel got her as an early Christmas present. Last summer, the main room in the basement became a new hangout area for the kids; one with a big television, a couple of bean bag chairs, a chair with armrests, a futon, and space for additional activities such as arts and crafts and playing with toys (they’ll probably have a pool table and/or foosball table or something in that space when they’re older); and as of right now, that’s where Asriel most likely is! :D
 Frisk: Azzy? Oh, Azzy; where are you, buddy?
 Once Frisk arrived in the basement, she was surprised to see that Asriel wasn’t anywhere in plain sight! “Where did he go?” she wondered to herself as she searched the basement for her fluffy brother. But then she stumbled upon this large box; a box that at one point contained all of the wrapping paper Toriel bought to wrap presents this year.
 Frisk: Huh? The wrapping paper box? What the heck is it doing over here? *asked Frisk confusedly as she lightly tapped the box with her left bare foot, only to get startled once SOMETHING INSIDE THE BOX STARTED MOVING AROUND* Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!! Huh? What’s this?
 Frisk then noticed a tag on the box that said "To: Frisk" on one line and "From: Asriel" directly below it. It was the front of a tag and after reading it; she opened it up and read a message written by Asriel inside:
 Frisk: "Frisk, my early present to you this year is a stuffed animal version of myself. Hope you like it! Hee hee hee. X3" ...Wait! What?!?! Ok, now this I have to see!
 Frisk could barely contain her excitement after reading Asriel's message. "A stuffed animal version of Asriel; does there exist such a thing?" she wondered as she swiftly took the lid off of the wrapping paper box; an easy-to-open box designed to look like a carefully wrapped Christmas present; to see what was inside.
 Frisk: *excited gasp* OH… MY… GOD!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! AZZY!!! AZZY, THAT'S SOOOO CUUUUUUUUTE!!! YOUR GIFT TO ME IS YOURSELF!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! OH MY GOD, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
 Despite what Asriel's message said, there was no actual stuffed animal in the box. But what Frisk found in its place was even better! Inside the box was ASRIEL HIMSELF PRETENDING TO BE A LARGE STUFFED ANIMAL! :D And to add to the cuteness, he put a big red Christmas present bow on top of his head prior to positioning himself in the box. He already has a cute red ribbon around his neck so he figured a bow would be a nice touch as well. X3
 Asriel: (Awwwww! You're very welcome, Frisk. I had a feeling you would like my present. X3)
 As much as Asriel wants to talk to Frisk right now, he feels that he shouldn't. He is pretending to be a stuffed animal after all; one that supposedly can't talk; and if he wants Frisk to get the most out of her early Christmas present, then he feels that he should commit to the act as much as possible. And so far, he's doing very well; continuing to smile the same way he did the moment Frisk took the lid off of the box; but he did struggle a little during Frisk's excited reaction though. So, as long as Frisk doesn't do anything to make him break character, then he should be ok.
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheehee! Wow, Azzy! I can't believe you did this! Very unique idea! But I'm curious though. What made you want to do something like this?
 Asriel: ………
 Frisk: Uh, A-Azzy? Hello? Azzy? *asked Frisk, waving her left hand in front of Asriel's face to try and get his attention* Azzy?
 Asriel: ………
 Frisk: Ohhhhhhhh! I see what's going on here. Heeheeheeheehee. Sure, Azzy; I'll play along. Heeheeheeheehee.
 After realizing what was going on, Frisk then tried to lift Asriel out of the box. Under normal circumstances, Asriel would've got out of the box himself; but because he is fully committed to acting like a stuffed animal, he didn't move a single inch, forcing Frisk to move him around herself while he was deadweight.
 Frisk: Oooof! Azzy, you're heavier than you look! *said Frisk as she somewhat struggled to lift Asriel up and out of the wrapping paper box*
 After a small struggle, Frisk managed to get Asriel out of the box; by tipping it on its side in a way that she was able to force Asriel to roll out of it. Then once Asriel was out of the box, Frisk removed the red bow from Asriel’s head and cuddled with him for about 15 minutes; pretending he was a large stuffed animal all the while; just as Asriel wanted her to do as he lied on the floor next to her completely motionless except for occasional blinking. It was difficult for Asriel to stay still all the while Frisk cuddled with him; due to how much he wanted to hug Frisk back and nuzzle her; but the young boss monster wanted to do everything he could to stay committed to his stuffed animal act and he found a way. But after those 15 minutes were over however, Frisk, being the (playfully) mischievous girl she is, wanted to see if she could make Asriel break character. In other words, find out if she could somehow make her "stuffed animal" "come to life." She's already got him blushing noticeably red after all of that cuddling but blushing isn't enough for her. She wants him to make some noise and there's one guaranteed way to get some noises out of him too. But first, she’d like to do some teasing; to see if she can make him break character before the main course of action. ;)
 15 minutes later…
 Frisk: Mmmmmmm... Oh, I love my new stuffed animal so much! And for a stuffed animal, he’s very warm too! So warm that I think I’ll warm up my feet on his fluffy belly. *said Frisk cheekily, wiggling her toes while moving into a sitting position next to Asriel* Heeheeheeheehee~!
 With that said; Frisk lifted up Asriel’s shirt and rubbed her somewhat cold bare feet on Asriel’s belly; thinking that doing so would make him “come to life.” But instead, she wound up giggling preciously; due to Asriel’s fur brushing against her bare feet as she rubbed them all over his belly. XD
 Frisk: Pfffffffffffffffffffff… Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!! Ohohohohohohohohoh my gohohohohohohohosh!!! Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!! Ugh, I always fohohohohohorget hohohohohow much thahahahahat tihihihihihihihihickles me!!! Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee~!!!
 Asriel: ……… (Pfffff… Heeheeheeheehee!!! Oh no, not her giggling!!! Heeheeheeheeheehee!!!) *thought Asriel worriedly to himself the moment he heard Frisk giggle*
 It was hard to resist giggling along with Frisk but somehow, Asriel managed to stay in character. But after about two minutes however, Frisk tried something different with her feet. Rather than rubbing them on Asriel’s belly, she instead held them directly in front of Asriel’s face; as close as she could without touching Asriel’s head; and wiggled her toes to tease the young boss monster himself, believing that doing so will make him want to grab her feet and tickle the ever-loving daylights out of them.
 Frisk: Hahaha! Hey, Azzy! Tickle my feet again, please! Come on! You know you want to! *teased Frisk as she wiggled her toes in Asriel’s face, causing the young goat boy’s face to fluster with tomato-red blush* Enough pretending to be stuffed animal already!
 He does! He so does! His tomato-red face says it all! But he can’t! For the sake of this early Christmas present to Frisk, Asriel wants to do everything he can to stay in character! And to stay in character, he needs to sacrifice the things he desires most. It was a massive struggle for Asriel but with both patience and perseverance, he managed to prevent himself from “coming to life” all the while Frisk teased him with her bare feet.
 3 minutes later…
 Frisk: Ugh! All right, Azzy; time to bring out the big guns! *said Frisk in a surprisingly intimidating tone, scaring Asriel a little in the process* Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? *Frisk then asked in playful pet talk a few seconds later, lifting up Asriel's red and green striped shirt to pet him on his fluffy belly* Heeheeheeheehee~!
 Oh no! Belly rubs! Asriel's weakness! Well, that and one other thing; hehe XD. It's surefire way to get him kicking his right leg repeatedly as if he were a dog! XD But not this time though! It was extremely difficult for Asriel but all the while Frisk pet him, he kept up his act as a stuffed animal! What a little trooper! X3
 3 minutes later…
 Frisk: Ugh! Ok, now you’re asking for it, Azzy! *shouted Frisk, raising both of her hands up while making claw gestures with them* If this doesn’t make you “come to life,” I don’t know what will!
 Asriel: (Uh oh!) *Asriel shuddered in his thoughts*
 A few seconds later, Frisk began wiggling her ten fingers wildly all over every inch of Asriel’s exposed fluffy belly, causing Asriel to immediately burst into a fit of bubbly laughter that was too pure for this world.
 Frisk: Kitchie kitchie kitchie kitchie kitchie koo!!! *teased Frisk with a giggle, relishing in the sweet sound that was her brother’s laughter for the next minute or so* Heeheeheeheeheeheehee~!!!
 Asriel: BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! FRIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHISK, NOHOHOHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!!!!!! *pleaded Asriel through his precious laughter, wiggling and squiggling on the floor as ticklish sensations overflowed his ultra-sensitive stomach* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!! NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOT THE TIHIHHIHIHICKLES!!!!!!!! *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA HEEHEHEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE HOHOHOHOHHHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheeheehee!! Azzy, that wasn’t even a second!! Heeheeheeheeheehee!! *gasp* Wait a second! *Frisk realized something all of a sudden* Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! My very own “TICKLE ME AZZY!!” Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Similar to that ticklish red monster toy but better!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Tickle, tickle, tickle, Azzy!! Come on!! Laugh!! *demanded Frisk, mere seconds before poking Asriel’s tummy just one time*
 Asriel: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHA!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! THAT TICKLES!!
 Frisk: Huh? …Coochie coochie coo! *she teased once more, this time gliding her index fingers slowly along his sides*
 Asriel: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHA!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!! OH BOY!!
 Frisk: *gasp* Oh my god! No way! But just to be sure…
 Noticing that Asriel was saying the same exact quotes as the ticklish red monster toy Frisk mentioned earlier; 2 of the 3 quotes to be exact; Frisk then scribbled her fingers wildly all over his torso once again to find out if he would say the third quote. And he did! Through all of his adorably precious laughter! X3
 Asriel: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA!!!!!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHA!!!!!! *SNORT* AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! *SNORT* OH BOY, THAT TICKLES!!
 Frisk: *delighted gasp* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! AZZY!! OH MY GOD!! AZZY!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! Just like that red monster!! *Frisk fangirled, seconds before blowing several raspberries over Asriel’s bellybutton; to hear those adorable screechy bleats of his that sound like that of an actual baby goat* Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff…
 Asriel: Wait! Frisk, no… BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEHEE!!!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! *SNORT* HOHOHOHOHOHOHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!
 Asriel was laughing so hard he couldn’t form a single sentence. Though not as tickly as Undyne’s raspberries, Frisk’s raspberries are enough to send Asriel over the edge with insanely hysterical laughter! And Frisk knows it too! Asriel was laughing, squealing, screaming, snorting, and everything in between for the next while; 2 minutes to be exact; and once those 2 minutes were over, Frisk gave him a much-needed breather; but only so she could hug him and then leave momentarily to grab a few things.
 2 minutes later…
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheehee!! Oh my god, Azzy!! Best early Christmas present ever!! *shouted Frisk happily while giving Asriel a quick hug* Heeheeheeheeheehee!!
 Asriel: Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!! Glahahahahahahahad you like it, Frihihihhihisk!!! *said Asriel, hugging Frisk back while laughing and giggling due to lingering ticklish sensations on his fluffy belly* Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha~!!!
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheehee!! So cute!! *Frisk said in response to Asriel’s laughing and giggling as she started making her way out of the basement*
 Asriel: Hahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahaaha!!! Hehehehehey!!! Hahahahahahaha!!! Frisk, hahahahahahaha, where are you going?!!! *asked Asriel confusedly while continuing to laugh and giggle due to phantom tickles* Hahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaha~!!!
 Before Asriel could get an answer out of Frisk; Frisk left the room, leaving the young boss monster himself in a state of utter confusion. At first, he wondered if he should follow Frisk; to see what she was up to; but then he realized that maybe what she’s planning on doing when she returns requires him to continue his act as a stuffed animal. So, because of that factor, Asriel felt that he should stay put; to see what Frisk may or may not have in store for him next.
 Asriel: (Heeheeheeheeheehee!! Oh boy! I wonder what Frisk is gonna do next!!) *Asriel thought giddily to himself, wiggling his six toes cutely as he lied on the floor minding his own business*
 5 minutes later, Frisk returned with 2 bags. From Asriel’s position, it was hard to make out was in the bags but something tells Asriel that he’ll find out what’s in them soon enough.
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheehee!! Ok, Azzy; time to take you over to the chair. *said Frisk, seconds before proceeding to drag a motionless Asriel along the basement floor*
 A few moments later, Frisk dragged Asriel along the floor over to a chair; the chair with armrests to be exact; and once she got over there, she wondered how she was going to get Asriel in the chair while he was deadweight.
 Asriel: Hey, Frisk. I’ll get in the chair for you; on one condition. *said Asriel cheekily, purposely breaking character*
 Frisk: Oh? And what might that be? *asked Frisk confusedly in response*
 Asriel: Kneel down on the floor next to me.
 Frisk: Heh. Well ok then.
 Frisk did as Asriel asked her to do. She kneeled on the floor right next to her adorable brother. And once she did, Asriel pinned her down on her back, lifted up her shirt and tickled her mercilessly for about three minutes; scribbling his furry fingers up and down along her sides as well as nuzzling her belly.
 Asriel: TICKLE ATTACK!!!
 Frisk: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!!!! AZZYHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!!!!! OHOHHOHOHHOHOHHOHOHOH, YOU ARE SOHOHOHOHOHO DEHEHEHEHEHHEEAD!!!!!!!! *said Frisk through her hysterical princess-like laughter without any actual spite as her stomach quivered due to immensely tickly fur brushing against her torso at an alarmingly fast rate* HAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!
 Asriel: Heeheeheeheeheehee!! Don’t worry, Frisk! After I’m done here, we can do whatever you want! *assured Asriel sincerely; but it was hard for Frisk to tell* Sound good?
 Frisk: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! OKAHAHAHAHAHAHAY!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!! I’LL TAHAHAHAHAHAHHAKE YOUR WHOHOHOHHOHORD FOHOHOHOHOR IT!!!!!!!! *SNORT* HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE~!!!!!!!!
 Asriel: Hahahahaha! Good! Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!!
 And just when Frisk thought that the tickle torture couldn’t get any more intense, Asriel started blowing raspberries on her stomach and over her bellybutton. But not just that though! In addition to blowing raspberries, he also rubbed his face against her belly as if he were a cat. All while continuing his ticklish assault on her sides with his furry fingers.
 Frisk: BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! OHOHOHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH MY GOHOHOHOHOHOHOSH, NOHOHOHOHOHOHOT RASPBEHEHEHEHEHEHEHERRIES!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* *SNORT* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* BWARGHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA~!!!!!!!!!!
 3 minutes later, Asriel stopped tickling Frisk; just as he promised he would. Then, a few seconds later, Asriel, knowing that Frisk wanted him to sit in the chair with armrests proceeded to sit in that said chair and let Frisk whatever she’s intending to do either with him or to him for the next while. And to the young prince’s surprise, Frisk took a set of 300 multi-color mini Christmas lights, plugged them into a nearby outlet, and wrapped around them loosely around his torso, arms, legs, and the chair itself. Then after she did that, she took a second set of multi-color Christmas lights; one with 100 mini lights; plugged them into the set of 300 lights, and wrapped them around his ankles and a nearby footrest that he had placed his feet on not too long ago; not too firmly around his ankles but firmly enough that Asriel was unable to escape his predicament.  Then once that was taken care of, Frisk pulled out a red ribbon and tied it around Asriel’s two innermost toes, binding them together in a way that made it impossible for him to pull his feet apart.
 Asriel: Pfffffffffffffffffffffff… Hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaha!! *Asriel snickered, giggled, and laughed all the while Frisk tied a ribbon around two of his toes* Ohohohohohohoh!! Hahahahahahahahahaha!! So, you wahahahahahahahahanna tickle my feeheeheeheeheeheeheet, huh? Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheheeheeheehee!! Yeah, heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee, probably shohhohoohhohould hahahahahave seen that coming after whahahahahahaahat I did to yohohohour feeheeheeheeheet earlier!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha~!!
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheeheehee!! Yes, you should’ve!! *Frisk agreed, right as she finished tying Asriel’s innermost toes together* And hey, look! You have two ribbons now! One around your neck! And one around your toes! *she then pointed out to Asriel, gliding 8 of her 10 fingers lightly down both of Asriel’s snow white soles from the bases of his toes to his heels for a little less than 10 seconds*
 Asriel: PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF… BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! FRIHIHIIHIHIHIHIHISK, BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I WAHAHAHAHAHHAASN’T REHEHEHEHEHHEEADY!!!!! GAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheehee!! Consider that a little warm-up, Mr. Fluffy Puffykins!! Because for the next half-hour or so, your feet are all mine! Mwahahahahahahaha!!
 They most certainly were! For 25 minutes, Frisk tickled Asriel’s feet like there was no tomorrow; and she did so with a variety of Christmas-themed tickle utensils in addition to her own ten fingers.
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheeheehee!! Coochie coochie coo!! Coochie coochie coo!! *teased Frisk “evilly” as she began tickling Asriel’s feet* Heeheeheeheeheehee!!
 Asriel: BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! FRIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHISK, GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, GAH, THAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAT TIHIHIHIHIHIHIHICKLES SOHOHOHOHO MUCH!!!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!!!
 To start it all out, Frisk tickled Asriel’s feet with her fingers for 3 minutes, scribbling them wildly all over every inch of her brother’s snow white soles as well as wiggling and twisting them in between his six toes…
 Frisk: Hahahahahaha!! Azzy, the fluffy goat boy; has such super ticklish feet! And if you tickle them just right, you can really make him bleat! *sang Frisk as she continued tickling Asriel’s feet, replacing the words of “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and causing Asriel to laugh even harder in response* Hahahahahaha!!
 Asriel: BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! OHOHHOHOHOHOHOH GOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOSH, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA, DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHON’T SING TOOHOOHOOHOOHOO!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* THAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAT MAHAHAHAHAHAHAKES IT WOHOHOHHOHORSE!!!!!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!!!
 Then she used a red feather for two minutes; gliding it along every inch of his right sole as well as sawing it in between his toes on that same foot…
 Asriel: BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!
 Then she used a green feather for two minutes; gliding it along every inch of his left sole as well as sawing it in between his toes on that same foot…
 Asriel: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!! SOHOHOHOHOHHO TICKLY!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!
 Then she used two multicolored feathers for two minutes; gliding both of them along every inch of Asriel’s soles as well as in between his toes (one for each foot)…
 Asriel: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!! GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! OHOHOHOH GOHOHOHHOD, HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA, NOHOHOHOHOT TWO FEHEHEHEATHERS!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! HAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!
 Then she used a red toothbrush with green bristles for two minutes; brushing every inch of his right sole and three right foot toes…
 Asriel: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!
 Then she used a green toothbrush with red bristles for two minutes; brushing every inch of his left sole and three left foot toes…
 Asriel: BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!
 Then she used both toothbrushes for two minutes; brushing every inch of both of Asriel’s snow white soles (she didn’t tickle his toes or in between them because she didn’t have any free hands to hold his feet still)…
 Asriel: BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! OHOHHOOHOOHHOH GOHOHOHOHHOHOHOD!!!!!!!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! OHOHOHOHOHOH JEEHEEHEEHEEHEEZ!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! IT’S TOOHOOHOOHOOHOO MUCH!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!
 Then she used two candy canes for two minutes; poking his soles and toes with them as well as gliding them along his soles…
 Asriel: HAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! HEHEHEHHEHEHEY, HAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHA, YOHOHOHOHOHOU’RE SUPPOSED TO EEEHEEHEEHEEHEEAT THOHOHOHOHOSE; HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, NOT TIHIHIHIHIIHICKLE FEEHEEHEEHEEHEEET WITH THEM!!!!! *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!
 Then she used a strand of gold tinsel garland for two minutes; “shining” every inch of Asriel’s soles with it as well as “flossing” all six of his toes with it…
 Asriel: AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAAHHAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAA!!!!!! *SNORT* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHA!!!!!! OHOHOHOHOHOHOH MY GOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOSH, THAHAHAHAHAAHAHAT’S DIFFERENT!!!!!! *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!
 The she used two cotton balls for two minutes; rubbing them against every inch of Asriel’s soles and six toes as well as in between his toes (one for each foot and she did this right after dumping an entire bag of them all over Asriel’s feet to simulate snow)…
 Asriel: PFFFFFFFFFFFFFF… HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!!!!! *SNORT* *SNORT* OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH GOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOSH, HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHA, THOHOHHOHOHOSE REEHEEHEEHEEALLY, *SNORT* REEHEEHEEHEEALLY TIHIHIHIHICKLE TOOHOOHOOHOO!!!!! *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! HAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!
 Then she used two stuffed reindeers for two minutes; rubbing their noses and antlers all over every inch of Asriel’s soles (and to make things more intense for Asriel, she gave the reindeers silly voices to make him laugh even harder)…
 Asriel: HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!! NOHOHOHOHHOHO, REINDEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEERS!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! BAD REINDEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEERS!!!!!! *Asriel played along with Frisk through his hysterical laughter* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!
 And then, while holding mistletoe next to Asriel’s feet, she blew raspberries on Asriel’s feet for two whole minutes…
 Frisk: Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff…
 Asriel: BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* *SNORT* *SNORT* *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE HOHOHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHA~!!!!!!!!!!
 2 minutes later…
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheehee!! *giggled Frisk as she stopped tickling Asriel* Adorable, soft, warm, lovable, huggable, and ticklish; I don’t want to stop. *she added, giving his right foot a platonic kiss and then his left foot shortly afterwards (under the rules of the mistletoe she’s still holding in one of her hands)*
 Asriel: Hahahahahahahahahahaha!! Then don’t!! *suggested Asriel with an exhausted tear-soaked look on his face while laughing due to lingering ticklish sensations on his bare feet* Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! *snort* Hahahahahahaha!! *snort* Hahaha!! Haha!! Haha!! Ha!! Ha. Whew!
 Frisk: Oh, but I must! Because if I leave you like this, then it will be difficult for you to exact your revenge! *stated Frisk with a cheekily smile while freeing Asriel from his bind, causing Asriel to perk up in response*
 Asriel: Wait, what?! A-are you serious, Frisk?!
 Frisk: Pfft! Of course I am! You know me, Azzy! I love being tickled! Especially on my feet! *Frisk assured Asriel, wiggling her toes against the floor in anticipation*
 Asriel: Heeheeheeheehee! That, you do! Heeheeheeheehee! Ok, I’ll do it.
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheehee! Terrific!
 As soon as Frisk completely freed Asriel from his bind, Asriel left the basement briefly to grab something from his bedroom. And while Asriel was doing that, Frisk positioned herself in the chair the same way Asriel was positioned for 25 whole minutes. But she did not use Christmas tree lights to bind herself though. Instead, she positioned herself into a giant Christmas gift bag (a big red plastic bag with snowflakes on it) with her head sticking out at the top of the bag and sat down in the chair with her feet resting on the nearby footrest. Then once Asriel returned, Frisk commanded him to tear open the bottom of the bag to reveal her bare feet for him to tickle.
 Asriel: I’m ba… Heeheeheehee! Well, look at you all wrapped up in that gift bag! Heeheeheeheehee!
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheehee! I knew you’d like it. Heeheeheeheehee! Now, technically you’re not supposed to open this until Christmas but… I don’t think tearing open the bottom for a little peek won’t hurt anything… if you, um, get what I’m saying. *said Frisk with a wink and a real big grin on her face as she kicked her legs lightly and wiggled her toes inside the large bag*
 Asriel: Heeheeheeheeheehee! Oh, I do. I so do, Frisk! Heeheeheehee!
 Asriel then tore open the bottommost portion of the giant gift bag, revealing Frisk’s cute bare feet. Then a few seconds later, he tied her ankles to the footrest with some red tinsel garland; to prevent her from pulling her legs away. And with a red ribbon, he tied her two big toes together; to prevent her from pulling her feet apart.
 Frisk: Heeheeeheeheehee! Perfect, Azzy! Enjoy my second early Christmas present to you!
 Asriel: Heeheeheehee! Thanks, Frisk; for everything you do for me. *said Asriel with a heartwarming smile*
 Frisk: Hehe; of course, Azzy. You’re very much welcome. And if you like this present so much, I can’t wait to see your reaction to the main thing I got you this year!
 Asriel: Hehe, yeah, same here. I bet that you and Chara are going to love what I got you!
 Little does Frisk know, Asriel got both her and Chara THEIR VERY OWN “TICKLE ME AZZY” TOYS for Christmas this year! :O Gaster, Sans, Alphys, and Monica helped him make them; Monica for sewing the toys’ skins and capturing Asriel’s likeness; and Gaster, Sans, and Alphys with everything else (this included tickling Asriel to record his laughter for the toys’ audio XD).
 Frisk: Heeheeheehee! I bet I will! But am I going to enjoy more than you tickling my feet in a few seconds?
 Asriel: Hehe; maybe. But, uh, I’ll let you be the judge of that. *said Asriel with a cute smile as he began tickling Frisk’s bare feet and continued doing so for the next 25 minutes* Heeheeheeheeheeheehee!! Kitchie kitchie kitchie kitchie kitchie koo!! Hahahahahahaha!!
 Frisk: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!! GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH; HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA, OHOHOHHOHOHOHOHOH JEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEZ!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* BWARGHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!!!
 For the first 13 minutes, Asriel tickled every sensitive inch of Frisk’s bare feet with 3 toothbrushes (a red toothbrush with green bristles, a green toothbrush with red bristles, and a red and white toothbrush with a candy cane pattern); getting her everywhere on her soles and the tops of feet as well as on the pads of her toes, the stems of her toes, and even in the spaces in between her toes. But that was nothing compared to how he tickled her during the last 12 minutes though. During the last 12 minutes, Asriel DREW ON FRISK’S BARE FEET with a 4-color pen (red, green, blue, and black), which he personally won while playing a Christmas-themed game at school; drawing Christmas wreathes on the balls of her feet (2 wreathes per foot) and Christmas trees on her heels (2 trees per foot) and writing “MERRY” on her right foot toes (one letter per toe), “CHRISTMAS” vertically on her right sole, “HAPPY” on her left foot toes (one letter per toe), and “HOLIDAYS” vertically on her left sole. Asriel had so much fun drawing on Frisk’s bare feet and Frisk in turn had so much fun being tickled by Asriel in that way. Her hysterical laughter said it all! XD
 Frisk: HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! HOHOHOHOHO, HOHOHOHOHOHO, HOHOHOHOHO!!!!!!!!!! MEHEHEHEHEHEHERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!!!
 THE END.

You know what grinds my gears is when people say that when you make Chara a irredeemable villain that they’re flat and not complex which is very far from the truth I mean there’s characters like Thanos who are very interesting and had a understandable motive but his actions were not justifiable and he still wasn’t redeemed in the end, tbh I think villain Charas are LOT better written than good Charas which tend to be too perfect, ride on emo tropes, and come off as bland and uninteresting
Thank you very much~! Mouko and I feel the same way. In fact, that’s one of the primary reasons why we created the Risen Child blog in the first place. Villains that are sympathetic and/or redeemable are interesting, but they’re not the only kind of villains out there.
Tumblr media
For example, classic Maleficent is a fantastic character who has stood the test of time, and she proclaimed herself to be the mistress of evil. She had not a speck of kindness whatsoever, but she was a lot of fun to watch the way she just reveled in making others suffer for slighting her. Personally, I feel she lost a chunk of what made her interesting in the live action version.
If anyone has had the misfortune of dealing with a narcissist - or someone who lacks empathy in general in favor of their own desires - then they will know that there are people out there who will exploit your sympathy towards them to the fullest. These people have their own motivations, things that make them happy or upset, the full range of the human experience, but that doesn’t guarantee that they will ever care about anyone else but themselves. What makes them worse is people who will justify what they do, who feel that their suffering is any excuse for the suffering they inflict on others. These enablers are then used as shields so the toxic person can evade blame and continue to prey on others.
More than a few members of the Chara Defense Squad (or whatever label that got slapped on it) go so far in their defense, they look like enablers. Why did Chara want to murder every last human on the planet, including people they clearly could never have encountered, as well as infants and the elderly? Well, obviously there’s something that excuses it out there. Let’s spin the wheel of abuse and headcanon away all the blame! Obviously it’s the fault of other people, not the character we have chosen to protect. Who cares if that just makes someone else into an irredeemable villain? The character we like is safe from all repercussions of their actions.
Personally, I think that’s cowardly. Chara wanted humans to die. They meticulously set up a plan that would allow them to leave the underground with the power to kill humans. They manipulated another child’s sympathies towards them and the monsters into agreeing with murder. They went so far that they were willing to kill themselves, not to escape pain, but to gain the power to kill humans. Maybe Chara didn’t know their consciousness would linger after death? They still died specifically to ensure that Asriel would murder at least six humans. This was more important to them than the suffering they would inflict on their adoptive family who loved them. And, naturally, if humans see a monster killing a few of them, well… what’s more murder after that?
Want to show Chara is a good person? Want to redeem Chara? Admit Chara wanted to murder people. Chara was going to murder people if Asriel didn’t stop them. The second Chara got the power to kill, they went for it. Then, after acknowledging this to be fact, have them realize their wrongs and take steps to make amends. A Chara who has grown from such a dark experience is a far stronger and more interesting one than someone who was just a puppet to external forces.
Most of the characters in the game are guilty of attempted murder. Some succeeded. The past humans who fell were murdered by monsters. Frisk was murdered. This shouldn’t be shrugged off or treated like it’s nothing just because Frisk could reset the timeline and come back to life.
Past trauma and desperation explain the motivations, but it does not absolve someone of the blame of their actions.
TLDR: Chara did a bad thing. We shouldn’t pretend that bad thing was okay.

The Legend of Asriel PART 6 | DEATH MOUNTAIN
it’s about as unpleasant as it sounds.
Frisk and Chara reach Death Mountain, and their first order of business is seeking out a blacksmith who can reforge their sword. There’s a bit of a famine going on right now so none of the Gorons are in working condition, but someone happens to direct Frisk to a Zora who lives just out of Goron City.
Following those directions, Frisk and Chara find an elderly turtle man sunning himself on the edge of a hot spring. Chara recognizes him and is confused as to why he’s here. Frisk knows not of their history with this guy though, and just walks up to ask if he can help reforge their sword.
Gerson laughs and says he’s not called the Hammer for nothing, he’s sure he can fix whatever toy sword they broke during target practice. Frisk removes the bundle from their backpack and shows him the shards of the Master Sword. Gerson rubs at his chin. “Hmm. Tricky one, that.”
Can you do it? Frisk writes in their notebook.
“The blade shouldn’t be too hard, I’ve got all the material I need here.“ Chara resists the urge to bring up the missing piece. “The hilt is harder, it’s made of a special material you can’t just melt down and cast into a new shape. I’d need to make another from scratch.“
Is it rare?
“Somewhat. As luck would have it, there is a deposit in the nearby mines, but those are flooded out.”
Frisk looks him up and down. ...Aren’t you like, a turtle? Surely a little water can’t stop you.
Gerson laughs heartily. “A little water is nothing, even for my old bones. Lava, however, poses quite a risk.“
Frisk makes a soft noise of understanding. If I got you a piece of this stuff, could you reforge it then?
“Of course!“ Gerson says. “I’d be delighted to, in fact. Not everyone can say they reforged the Legendary Blade of Evil’s Bane!“
Frisk beams, bundles the shards back up, and tells Gerson they’ll be back soon before hurrying off again. Chara trails them with a skeptical look. “Okay I appreciate the enthusiasm, but how exactly do you plan to get this weird rock? Do you have a supplier or something?”
Frisk slows to a stop, staring into the sky with a look of impending realization.
“...You didn’t think that far ahead, did you.“
Frisk most assuredly didn’t, but they won’t let that stop them! They do some more poking around, and eventually encounter a Hylian bard living it up in the town square, providing a brief moment of levity for the Gorons in this trying time.
Chara wonders how he can stand wearing such impractical clothing in this sweltering volcano, and Mettaton offhandedly mentions something about the laboratory near the peak before he registers that the person he just replied to is a ghost.
The dude doesn’t stick around, leaving Frisk and Chara with just the clue pointing towards the laboratory. It’s not much, but it’s all they’ve got, so they go to investigate.
The lab seems abandoned at first, all dark and messy and stuff. Frisk pokes around a bit, not giving it up as a lost cause just yet, and then Chara hears a weird scuffling noise. Frisk sees them tense, and they turn around just in time to see a flash of golden scales vanishing around a corner.
They give chase, and with a little help from Chara they track down the mysterious creature. A light flickers on, and Frisk finds themself face to face with a yellow Lizalfos in a lab coat.
For a moment, the two of them stare each other, down. Frisk isn’t quite sure what to make of the monster, and the Lizalfos looks kinda like a deer in the headlights. After a moment, though, Frisk’s hand inches towards their sword, and the Lizalfos rears back not to attack, but to frantically wave her hands defensively.
“Wait wait wait I can explain!“ she says, and it takes Chara a moment to dart into the right spot to interpret because they were not expecting a talking lizard. “Y-you see, I’m not a-actually a monster! I-I’m Dr. Alphys, and I’m t-t-totally a normal person, I’m j-just cursed to look like this! J-j-just c-cursed!“
Frisk raises an eyebrow, removing their hand from their sword and straightening up. They glance at Chara, who just shrugs, then dig out their notebook again. Do you need any help with that?
“N-n-no, it’s quite alright!“ Alphys says, looking a little sheepish. “I-I-I don’t get out much s-s-so it’s not like it matters how I look! I’ve got all my brains u-up here, s-so I’m fine!”
Frisk nods, relieved that they don’t have to add another layer to this fetch quest chain. I heard you can make heat-resistant clothing, they write.
“Where did you—“ Alphys starts, before pausing. “O-oh, I suppose I did give Mettaton some of my prototypes... how were they, by the way? That guy never gives me useful feedback.“
Frisk shrugs. He didn’t look bothered by the heat, but honestly it’s not that bad.
“Speak for yourself,“ Chara comments. “I’d be dying if I weren’t already dead. You’re just a weird desert gremlin.“
Frisk ignores them.
Alphys, unaware of the ghost floating next to her, nods thoughtfully. “Good, good, the tests I ran seemed positive but it’s good to have more data. Oh— w-were you interested in my fireproof clothing as well?“
Frisk nods. If it’s available, I’d like to buy a set.
“O-of course! Might I ask what you n-need it for?“
I wanna go into the mines but I hear they got flooded with lava.
Alphys pauses. “...Erm, a-and why do you want that?”
I need a special stone to reforge this legendary sword that got broken.
A long moment passes between them.
“...Can’t argue with that,“ Alphys says, then turns and walks away.
Frisk pays up and Alphys custom fits them with a nice heatproof tunic which I haven’t designed yet, but I probably will eventually and whenever that happens I’ll probably edit in a picture here.
But anyway now they’re decked out in sweet fashion and so they trek off to the mines, which are another dungeon. I don’t have nearly as much to say as I did for the Lost Caverns. It’s a bunch of mines and stuff, there’s magma. They get the Burnt Hammer, which is basically the equivalent of the burnt pan but like. It’s a hammer. And there’s some kinda a monster or possessed machinery or a monster possessing machinery, and after Frisk kicks its ass the mines go back to normal and everyone rejoices and they get a cool blue rock which happens to be timeshift stone but shhhhhhh it’s not that important.
And so they return triumphantly to Gerson’s forge, materials in tow, and ask him to reforge the Master Sword for them. Gerson laughs, declares that they truely do have the soul of a hero. Then he asks what kind of sword they’d like him to make it into, at which point they kinda stall out because they were kinda assuming it’d just be forged back into its original shape.
“Nonsense,“ Gerson says. “Trying to copy the original perfectly is a fool’s errand, and if it’s going to be reforged for a new wielder why not have them choose its shape?“
Frisk agrees with this reasoning, but they don’t know enough about swords to make a decision. Chara, however, does. They tap Frisk on the shoulder, an odd glint in their eye, and spell something out for Frisk to write in their notebook. They show it to Gerson, and he clearly knows what it means as he laughs again and gets right to work on that sword.
It takes time to make a sword, and so Frisk stays a couple nights in Gerson’s cottage. Chara keeps randomly snickering every time the Master Sword comes up in conversation, and they refuse to explain themself, so Frisk just resigns themself to finding out what they told Gerson to make when the sword is done.
After the better part of a week has passed with Frisk doing various sidequests for the Gorons, Gerson finally presents them with the reforged Master Sword.
Frisk unwraps it from the cloth covering carefully, examining the sheath before tugging it free to look at the blade. It’s beautifully crafted, the hilt carved into something reminiscent of a bird while the blade is razor sharp. They can’t help but admire the craftsmanship, and even Chara pauses to ooh and aah a little before they collapse into another fit of giggles.
“You know, it’s kinda funny you picked that kind of sword,“ Gerson comments, and Chara barely manages to pull themself back together enough to interpret. “See, there was this young whippersnapper I used to know, and they always said that was their favourite kind of sword. You know why?“
Frisk tilts their head in a silent question.
“They said it was ‘cause of the way the hilt is put together,“ Gerson explains. “In their words, it isn’t technically a sword. Just a very large knife.“
Chara descends into a full on fit of laughter. Frisk stands there for a long moment, then looks back down at the Master Sword. Then they set it down and take out their notebook. Does that make this the Master Knife, then?
Tumblr media
Gerson joins Chara in laughing. “I like your style,” he tells them, as he follows them to the door. “Remember me after you’ve saved the world, alright, kid?”
Frisk nods, slinging the Master Knife over their back, and slaps Chara on the shoulder on the way out to get them to stop laughing already, it’s not that funny.
(It’s absolutely that funny, Chara insists inside their own head. God they love knives.)

traveling around the world was a luxury that bill never imagined he’d have the opportunity to enjoy. just him   &    andriana   ,   the lioness loyally tucked at his side   ,   prepared to weather anything that came in their way. it was a nice life   ,   not being in the same place at once   ,   the most reward he got out of it came in the form of food   &   shelter from townspeople who admired what he did   ,   as well as getting the chance to share his exploits with anyone who wanted to hear   ,   children perhaps being his most favorite audience of all. it was with them that he could get a bit more animated   ,   more dramatic in sharing his stories   ,   a shining confidence that he rarely ever exudes expressed when speaking to them all   ,   his speech perfect   &   crisp   ------   not a stutter to be heard. it was a fun job to have   ,   if you could call it that   (   there was no funding given for his work   )   ,   but it did leave him feeling a bit lonely most of the time. he didn’t have much of a family to go back home to   &   the one person he cared about had long gone years before   ,   leaving bill with nothing but fond memories   &   a broken heart. he likes to think that if georgie hadn’t passed   ,   maybe he’d be on these adventures with him   ,   but sadly   ,   he would never know if that would be true. it’s lonely   &   rarely people ever approached him for longer than a few minutes   ,   so color him surprised to run into another fellow explorer   ,   the energetic   &   loud personality that was ray person made for a grand first impression   ,   his daemon expressing that he calm down   ,   distinguishing her as the voice of reason between them   (   &   isn’t that what their daemon’s were most of the time   ?   ).   they were both staying the same town at the time   &   they had hit it off rather well   ,   something bill wasn’t accustomed to   ,   at least not this quickly. sure   ,   he had met plenty of kind people   ,   but none of them ever hung around long enough for bill to know more about them aside from their name. he’s not sure how   ,   but ray had quickly made an impression on him that was hard to shake   ,   &   he found himself seeking out his companionship during mealtimes   ,   something that andriana encouraged happily.   ‘   you need friends   ,   you need to meet others with similar interests.   ‘   she’s right   ,   he knows she is   ,   &   for once   ,   he feels like maybe he has found a friend in someone for once in his life   ,   but he knows that it’s not meant to last. in a few days time   ,   he’d have to leave   ------   venture on off to the next village or town   ,   but the memory of their time together would be a fond one he’d lock away forever   &   who knows   ?   maybe they’ll cross paths again   &   he’ll be gifted two front row seats to the playful bickering ray   &   eventa get into   ,   which amused him to no end   ,   &   even andriana had to agree.
Tumblr media
with traveling abroad   ,   one must be always ready at the possibility of change   ,   &   things certainly were shaken up when word had gotten around that children had begun being taken by something called   ‘   gobblers.   ‘   it sounded like some sort of strange myth of sorts at first   ,   like a story bill might have told once before   ,   but then a gyptian child named billy costa was named the most recent victim   &   the panic was truly starting to set in   ,   everyone curious as to what it could be that could be taking their children away. were they being killed   ?   were they safe   ?   so many questions   ,   but no answers to speak of   ,   which only makes bill more set in wanting to find out more on his own. recently word of lord asriel’s work on dust up north had been turning heads as well   &   bill can’t help but wonder if the answers they sought might be found there. in lord asriel’s latest findings   ,   he realizes that dust does not infect children   ,   but only adults as they reach adolescence. children were being taken   ------   the coincidence was much too great not to take seriously. despite andriana’s concerns with taking such a dangerous trip   ,   bill had already had it set in him mind to go   ,   preparing to leave almost the minute he heard of costa’s disappearance. this was like georgie all over again   ,   he thought   ,   but rather than sit around   &   be helpless   ,   bill was going to do something about it   ,   try   &   help figure out what’s taking these kids   &   if dust was involved. he’d do it alone   ,   he was so used to doing everything alone already   ,   but for once   ,   it seems he doesn’t have to. ray finds him   &   proposes that they go north together   ,   which makes bill’s eyes widen in shock   ,   the lioness watching onward to make sure he didn’t fall over from the surprise   (   he could be clumsy at times   ,   despite his claims otherwise   ).   ❝   you   ------   you want to go n - n - north with me   ?   ❞   ocean blues look at the other traveler for a moment   ,   still surprised by his invitation   ,   though not at all by his drive. ray also shared the same sort of need to help others as he did   ,   &   children being taken by these   ‘   gobblers   ‘   or whatever was not something he’d imagine ray would let stand if he could do something about it. the fact that he wanted him along this journey   ,   trusted him enough that he believed they could be a good team does something to the explorer’s chest   ,   a warmth growing there that turns into a fondness   ,   smile slowly growing   ,   nervous   ,   but it’s there. after a moment   ,   bill finds the courage to rest a hand on ray’s shoulder   ------   a friendly gesture   ,   the first of many.   ❝   i’d be honored   ,   ruh - ruh - ray. gosh   ,   yuh - you   &   me   ,   with ah - ah - ah - andriana   &   eh - eh - eventa   ?   we’ll be a great t - team   !   ❞   his smile grows wider   ,   shaking his shoulder a bit before withdrawing completely   ,   turning back to resume packing.   ❝   let’s leave t - t - tonight   ,   yeah   ?   we can’t waste any t - time.   ❞

Chapter 30
Word count: 1,999
Sans was able to watch Gaster's slow decline. Though things didn't repeat for a long time, he didn't do anything that wasn't already done daily. It was as if he was waiting for everything to become a waste.
Sans just attempted to talk to Chara the day after they got tge machine running. There wasn't much to it, just Chara being skeptical as Sans explained. One could say Chara started to accept and be comfortable around Sans, yet it was hard to really tell with them. It took longer for them to accept Gaster's attitude.
Now Gaster sat at the desk in the lowest lab sections. Sans was stopping by since he learned this is what Gaster would now do, watch the machine so nothing goes wrong.
“Is everything alright, G?” Sans asks as he approaches the other. Gaster glanced over for a moment before just staring at the machine.
“Busying myself.” He mumbles.
“There's plenty to do in the above labs though.” Sans responds and glances at the machine. Gaster took a moment to respond.
“I'll do it later.” It wasn't like him to procrastinate. He always stressed about getting things done, yet for a while now its been the opposite. “I'm going to head out for now.” Gaster says suddenly and gets up.
“Where are you going?” Sans asks, trying to follow as the other puts a coat over his sweater.
“Just out to eat. Don't worry about it.” Gaster states without looking back. He had teleported off before Sans could even respond.
Gaster had planned to just walk through Waterfall to get to Snowdon but a place to his right caught his eye. A river with a caped figure on a boat.
The scientist walked over and stepped on the boat. It took a moment for it to get moving since the figure was surprised, but they eventually snapped out if it.
“So this is what you to now?” Gaster says suddenly. The figure seemed to hesitate for a moment.
“Yes. I found a friend and we get paid for our services sometimes. It's never required though.” The friend must've been the boat, for it let out an agreeing back as it's bow took the shape of a dog then went back to normal.
“I see… interesting.” Gaster responds and they both become quiet the rest of the way. It wasn't until the end of the trip that they interacted again. Gaster handed over some gold before stepping off and leaving the other puzzled. The scientist didn't care though, just making his way down to the local bar in Snowdin.
Anton's was a small but comfortable place to Gaster besides his own lab, even if he only knew the owner really. The blue flame monster was even quick go home over when Gaster sat at the bar stool.
‘Hello.’ He wrote with a smile. ‘Can I get you anything, Gaster?’ The scientist shook his head and sighed in response.
“Just came here to pass the time.” He mutters.
‘Aw, come on.’ Anton's smile just grew a bit. ‘You never order anything. The food here's great!’
Gaster rolls his eyes. “I'm sure it is but I'm not hungry.” He says and looks down a bit. He looked back up again when he noticed Anton's writing.
'Something bothering you then?’ He asks. Gaster just shrugs at the other.
“Just been thinking.” He says after a bit. “I wouldn't say it's really anything important though.”
‘I see.’ Anton pauses before changing the subject. ‘I've been thinking as well. You remember Grillby right?’
“Oh yeah. Your kid. Haven't seen him for a long time.” Gaster sits a bit more straight for once.
'Since the last time you were thinking.’ Anton adds on quickly. 'He's grown up since then.’
“I would imagine so. He's a bit older than Asriel, right?” And younger than Sans of course. Gaster would've added that but decided not to. “He was just a newborn flame back then.” Anton nodded, smiling out of pride.
'Right.’ Another pause from Anton. 'Actually, did you ever get that assistant you came here to think about last time?’
“Ah… yes actually. I started immediately, though it took a few years to find the right one…” Gaster subconsciously rubbed the edges around the hole in one of his hands nervously. Anton quickly took notice of the hole and reaches out to grab Gaster's hand.
Anton's hand felt warm and gentle, completely controlled flames flickering as they held on. 'When did you get this?’ He writes it quick, making the flames sloppy for a few seconds.
“An accident while experimenting… don't worry about it.” Gaster answers before pulling his hand away from the other. He glances away and adjusts his jacket a bit. “Things happen.” Anton stared for a movement, unsure, but just slowly pulled away.
'I understand. Sorry if I pressured you.’ Anton writes slowly this time yet still the flames would shake at first.
“No, you didn't.” Gaster said with a shake of his head. “As I said, don't worry about it.” He thought for a moment while Anton didn't respond, remembering the previous topic. “So what were you saying about Grillby?���
Anton had to think about it for a moment. 'Oh right.’ He drew out the last letter to make it accidentally have a slight tail. Gaster hasn't ever really seen him get so shaken up before. Never this worried before. Even in war he tried to be the optimistic one to keep monsters’ spirits up. 'I just have been thinking that Grillby could take over when I feel he's old enough. Maybe he can name it after himself so he properly owns it in name.’
“He's just a teen now right?” Gaster asks as he tries to push back a brewing mental fight from conflicting wants and feelings. “Sounds promising either way.”
Anton gave a soft smile before writing. ‘Yes. For now he works the back of the house. He's a very good chef.’ Gaster gave a somewhat of a smile back.
“I can believe that.” He mutters. “Mind getting me a water?” He makes Anton work up a bit at the request and smile a bit more.
'Sure, friend.’ He writes before heading to the back. Gaster hangs his head and sighs once the other is gone. He know that would make the other happy, finally an order from his toughest customer, but Gaster just felt he needed some anyways.
The skeleton only looks up when Anton comes back with a glass in hand. He takes it when it's placed in front of him for a meager sip. “Thanks.” He mumbles.
'No problem.’ Anton at least had steadier writing now, quite proud of himself and distracted from before.
The conversation turned out better from there. It was away from the lab, both their thoughts and most importantly the resets. Part of Gaster hoped that it wouldn't happen. Gaster didn't know if he could play the part again.
Luckily, he didn't seem to have to anymore. Gaster was able to let the days after pass, watching the machine work even if it seemed nothing was happening at the moment. The soul was attracted though, meaning that it was slowly being reattached to the body.
“G.” Sans was down here again, stopping out into the room. “Chara is here. They want to speak with you.”
Gaster sighs as soon as he hears it. He gets up off his chair to go head up. In the upper lab, he found Chara with their arms crossed and looking as grumpy as ever.
“What do you need?” Gaster asks, getting the other's attention. Chara's gaze seems to soften a bit as they saw the scientist as if their impatience was satisfied.
“Sorry for breaking into your lab, I guess.” They mutter and look away somewhat.
“Apology accepted, I guess.” Gaster responds in a mocking tone. That made Chara look back at the other with a bit of a glare.
“Ha ha. I see how it is.” They say mockingly back. Sans walked up from behind Gaster and patted their head, speaking before any could add another remark.
“The kid and I talked, though honestly it took a long while to stop being angry at you.” Sans explains. Gaster shrugs.
“I get that sometimes.” He responds sharply. “Is that all?” Sans quickly shakes his head.
“I just want to mention that, if you think about it, they only used the power once and that was when they were forced to.” Sans says and then adds. “I just thought I'd bring up the fact before they talk to you about somethings.” Gaster looks over at Chara for what they had to say.
“I don't even know how it works nor do I need it. Enough to wonder if I should try to find a way to just get rid of it, so it's not a burden.” Chara admits, speaking somewhat slow. “If that helps anyway.”
Gaster eyes them for a moment. “How can I be sure you never used it before you got here? Usually humans know of it yet not monsters.” Chara seemed slightly offended but didn't act on it.
“I haven't. I noticed something weird, yet I didn't know anything on it.” Chara states. Gaster thinks for a moment before deciding it was something that made sense with who last had the ability. Why tell anyone after it didn't matter anymore? Just have the facts disappear and rule like a king. “I don't even want to go back to before this place. If I use it, it'll be an emergency you know the main reason to.”
Gaster watches Chara's determined stare for a moment, then turns to leave. “If you wish to not be able to use it anymore, I may be able to help. I'd worry though about who it may go to after you.” He left the room quickly yet could still hear Chara's last comment.
“I'd rather keep power from burdening or consuming me.”
Gaster just his himself in his main lab area for the rest of his “day”. After he took a nap as a break from work, Sans was telling him Chara was back. As much as Gaster didn't feel like it, he forced himself out of bed.
“What do you want?” Gaster says, maybe a bit too harshly. Chara just pauses for a moment, probably notching he was tired.
“I kind of want to at least know if you can get rid of this power somehow.” They start, glancing around the lab that was empty besides them two.
“I'll see what I can do then. Give me two weeks at the least.” Gaster states. “Though, keep in mind that if we use whatever I come up eith then it may go on to someone else who may overuse it while you're stuck in a world that won't remember anything. Maybe it'll go back to the previous owner.”
Chara looked down and let out a sigh. “That'll be the least of our worries, I believe I just want to see if its possible anyways.” Gaster finally seemed surprised for once. It was as if they figured out who the previous one was.
“So Chatch is dead?” He mutters, earning a small nod from Chara.
“Before I dropped down here… people may be in chaos for a while…” They say. Gaster watches their upset expression for a moment as he pieces it together. With their run away, from a previous life and this reaction, Gaster deciding not to ask more.
“I'm going to continue my nap. I'll start working when I wake up.” He says and takes his leave. He can't help but assume their power problems are too close to home and that's mainly why they don't like it.
Gaster just decided to help them for the next month, larger than he expected. Souls are hard to control since they charge with the person's personality. Either way it gave himself something to do while he waited on Papyrus.

Before I get started, I want you all to know this is where I'll be posting this story for most of it. My regular posts will be tagged with other tags, but this one gets a #chara-universes-story tag. I hope you all enjoy. Thank you for reading.
Untitled Story (as of now) - Chapter One
Waking up.
Not usually something people find particularly hard in any way, shape, or form.
At least, not to my knowledge.
Fuck. This sounds stupid.
Okay, well, basically I thought I existed, but in reality, my thoughts then weren’t even real. Every single decision I made wasn’t real.
I wasn’t real.
Yes, yes. Very existential crisis-y. I know. But it is the truth, believe it or not. I woke up in a body that wasn’t my own. All my memories intact, but…
Distorted.
In fact, it almost seemed as if I was a different person.
Then, I heard a voice ring inside my head.
“Oh. My. God. I fucking did it!” it rang.
“Who the fuck are you? Where am I?! WHERE THE HELL IS MY BODY!!!” I shouted out, not yet realising I was in a high school restroom.
“SHHH!!! Quiet down! You’re gonna get the both of us in trouble! Jesus, I did make you exact to the game, but you don’t have to be such a—oh, never mind.”
It didn’t seem one for explanations apparently.
“Okay, fine. I’ll ask you one more time, who the hell are you.”
“I am Asmael! I am….well, was an elf. I still retain some of my power, though, and that’s how you’re here, Chara Dreemurr!” Asmael said.
“Elves don’t exist. They’re just fantasy creatures,” I retorted.
“Well, I’m here talking to you, so obviously not, silly!” she chided.
“Okay, then. Second question. Where the actual hell am I?” I questioned.
“My high school. Well, actually, my body’s high school. She goes here. I only tag along because I’d be dead otherwise. You see, she’s kinda quintessential to my existence right now, if you haven’t noticed by the fact that I’m a voice in her head. Well, then again I can take control of the body occasionally, but that’s only when she wants me to, so that isn’t very often. Although, congratulations, Chara! You’re in control right now!”
My head was spinning.
What the fuck was even happening.
Needless to say, this was a fucking insane fever dream.
Maybe I ate buttercups again without realising.
Who knows.
“Uhh, Chara are you okay?” I suddenly realised she was still talking to me. She refused to shut up apparently.
“Yes. I’m fine. Just...tell me how to get back.” I asked.
Laughter.
The bitch started laughing at me.
“I-I’m sorry!” still laughing, she continued between breaths, “Go back where?! The game??”
“What. Game? What game? I just wanted to go back to the Underground.”
“That’s the game. You’re from a game, honey.”
“Don’t call me ‘honey’. And that’s bullshit. I’m pretty sure I’d know if my entire fucking existence was a game.”
---~•~---
Much to my surprise, it was a game.
I staggered my way through the school day, Asmael screaming in my head every step of the way, and we got in our “body’s” parent’s car. Get home, and she tells me to open the computer in her room. I do so and I see an icon with a little red, pixelated heart above it.
Below it, the title, “UNDERTALE”.
My heart sinks. The exact thing she’d been saying all day.
Right there.
Proving I don’t exist. Well, proving I didn’t exist previously.
Now I did. All just because she has some fucking sick fetish for me.
And a lot of other people did, too, apparently.
In any case, this one icon on a screen showed me that I literally was not supposed to—and still shouldn’t—exist. That my continued existence is just a burden on the face of this Earth. That I, Chara Dreemurr, shouldn’t exist.
Obviously, I didn’t take this news well.
“Y-you’re kidding...right?” I said, voice shaking.
“Sadly, no.” her voice rang out again, now feeling like it was pounding my head from the inside out.
I scoffed.
“Sadly? You expect me to believe you feel that way? You’re the cunt who brought me into this fucking mess in the first place! I ought to kill you right now if it wouldn’t kill me too!!” I was pissed.
First, I wake up in some body that wasn’t mine, having none of my own belongings. It wasn’t even Frisk’s body, and that made it worse.
At least Frisk was cute.
“I’m…sorry, Chara. I...I just wanted-”
I was done with her shit.
“WHAT ABOUT WHAT I WANTED, HUH?! DID YOU NOT CONSIDER THAT?!”
I exhaled.
This wasn’t something to argue about.
The situation wasn’t going to change.
“Fuck it. Just...where’s Asriel? Did you make him too?”
“Oh, uh, no. Sorry.” she said.
“O-oh. Okay.” I said, my voice shaking.
“Fuck. That was an absolutely atrocious job at hiding your disappointment.” was all I could think.
“Y’know, I can hear your thoughts too. We’re in the same head.” she said smugly.
I swear, if she hadn’t been in me, I would’ve ripped her throat out.
"Ok, then what do we do now, huh? I'm not too keen on the idea of just sitting around this place." I was mildly ticked off.
First, this...elf girl decides that because of some stupid obsession, she's gonna give me life in the real world or some shit, and then forces me in this body that isn't my own, with absolutely no idea of what the hell I have to do next.
Honestly, I don't think she really planned this out.
"Well, I guess I'll take you to the Dreamscape." she said, almost as if expecting me to know what that was.
"What."
"The Tenth Universe. A God named Sumnia runs the place. He also happens to be my husband. I can help bring you there, but we'll be leaving this body behind if you don't mind."
I agreed with her idea for the sole fact that I'd get out of the wretched body.
Suddenly, I started feeling a tugging on my chest. Almost as if my heart was being pulled on. It started feeling extremely painful and I hunched over in pain just due to reflex.
I opened my eyes to see that I was no longer in the room of that girl. I was in a massive empty plain with a white floor and a dark sky that had stars and a moon. It basically looked like a version of Earth without anything on the surface of the planet. Just a white floor, but a perfectly normal sky with stars and a dimly lit moon.
I looked down and, to my relief, I saw my body. My body. My green sweater with its yellow stripe and my khaki shorts. Everything was as it should be. I let out a sigh of relief and looked around.
There, not 10 feet from me, was her. Asmael. She was about 5 and a half feet tall, fair skinned, and wearing a silken gown that ran to her feet.
The pointy elf ears stood out to me the most.
"Welcome to The Tenth Universe, Chara." she said, smiling.

Thoughts and a Theory on Deltarune
SPOILERS BELOW! Don’t click the Read More if you haven’t played the game yet and plan to play it unspoiled!
I’m not the biggest Undertale fan in the world, but I definitely am a fan. I’ve loved pretty much everything about the game since it released in 2015, but always got the feeling that since Toby Fox was extremely surprised by its breakout massive success that there wouldn’t ever be a continuation. Yesterday I was proven wrong by the release of Deltarune Chapter 1, the first in what appears to be an episodic successor.
Before I address the story elements and my theory about what’s really going on in the game and how it connects to the original Undertale (which will be the subject of most of this post) I wanna talk about the actual game mechanics because they’re legitimately what impressed me the most. The way this game plays feels like the most perfectly natural and excellent progression of Undertale’s gameplay. The fact you actually have a party now is the most exciting and awesome addition. Now we have not only multiple characters with multiple skills, including magic and “limit break” type super moves, but team actions that can be performed by two or more characters together. Combined with other things like status effects and having to warn your enemies about the uncontrollable attacks of a violent party member so they don’t die and you’re able to spare them, all this expands and improves on what Undertale introduced in a way that proves to just how damn good Toby Fox is at game design. Undertale, and Deltarune by extension, probably could’ve coasted on its story, music and aesthetics alone, but Toby isn’t just great at those things. He’s also phenomenal at creating an actual game and I’d seriously do anything to have even a fraction of his talent;;;
Honestly, Undertale is an 8/10 or 9/10 for me, due to a couple things regarding the true pacifist ending and genocide routes that I don’t agree were good choices for such a heavily story and choice-driven game. Deltarune Chapter 1, meanwhile? 10/10. No question. We already may be looking at a sequel (if we consider it a sequel - personally I do, although not in the chronological sense) that completely surpasses the original.
So alright, how do Undertale and Deltarune fit together as far as story? Here’s what I think: First and foremost, Kris and the character who Undertale fans have previously been referring to as “Chara” are the same person. They are the exact same entity and Kris is simply the real name of “Chara,” who’s canon name was never actually given in Undertale. Fans simply assumed the child who they name in Undertale, the child who fell into the underground and was raised by Toriel and Asgore alongside Asriel, was canonically named “Chara” because inputting this name results in the message “The True Name.” So from now on, when I’m talking about Kris, know that I’m also referring to who we’ve been calling “Chara” up until now. The fact Kris and Chara wear the same shirt, plus what happens in the ending, I feel supports this. Got it? Alright.
I believe that Deltarune is an alternate timeline wherein instead of dying along with Asriel, Kris allows the monsters to come up to and live on the surface, much like Frisk does in Undertale’s true pacifist ending. Deltarune Chapter 1 begins several years after Kris and their adoptive family, along with all the monsters, escaped from the underground and formed a peaceful new suburban-like society for themselves. 
A major hint towards the true nature of the player and their own role in Undertale/Deltarune’s story comes at the very first save point. When you save the game, it overwrites a file named “Kris” and instead replaces it with a file with your own name. At the beginning of the game you’re instructed by W.D. Gaster (or who we currently assume to be Gaster even though it’s technically still unclear; regardless I’ll refer to them as Gaster) to create a “vessel,” then give it a name, then enter your own name. After which your “creation” is “discarded” because “you don’t get to choose who you are in this world.” Gaster is right - we don’t get to choose our vessel, instead it’s chosen for us... that vessel being Kris.
The point where the player first saves the game is the point where they officially “take over” Kris and they become the player’s vessel. From that point on, Kris is no longer in control. We are in control - and we, the player, are represented by the red heart - the Soul.
What confirms this for me is the very end of the game after Kris rips out their Soul and throws it into the cage. If you use the arrow keys once the Soul is in the cage, it will wiggle around in the corresponding directions. This proves that the player is in fact the Soul. Which leads into the biggest question presented by the ending scene - Why did Kris tear out their Soul?
Because it’s not their Soul anymore. The player hijacked and literally overwrote it the moment we saved the game.
Overwriting Kris’s Soul did more than just allow us to control them though. With it came all our knowledge and memories of Undertale, its true ending, and what I’m going to call the “GenoKris” timeline. This is opposed to Deltarune’s timeline, which I’ll call the “MercyKris” timeline. By commandeering Kris’s Soul in the MercyKris timeline, we made them aware of themselves in the GenoKris timeline. This results in poor Kris having an existential crisis and suddenly they’re not sure who the hell they’re supposed to be anymore. Since after all, the first thing we probably thought to ourselves upon seeing the world in Deltarune was “What’s going on? Why are so many things different? This isn’t how it’s supposed to be...”
And so because we caused this, Kris rips their Soul, that is to say us, right out. Unfortunately, it’s too late. They’ve already been corrupted by the mixing of timelines due to the player’s interference. Their personality has been changed to that of themselves from the GenoKris timeline... the “true” Kris from our perspective.
This isn’t the world of Undertale. At first glance, it looks like it should be the world as we and Frisk made it at the end of Undertale’s true pacifist route, but it isn’t. “Deltarune” is an anagram of “Undertale.” It’s Undertale’s world all mixed up, but at the same time, unconnected. Except by playing Deltarune when we already played Undertale, we connected it. We caused two worlds to converge when that was never supposed to happen.
And now we’re going have to fix it.
