JUST WATCHED UNDERVERES 0.7 (part 1) AND HAHDGHSGAJGDJSGSJGDHSJSGD

spoilers under the cut 🥰

WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BOY (XChara)

XGaster CANNOT be calling my boy a hypocrite because at least XChara didn’t FORCE SOMEONE TO KILL THEIR BROTHER???!!??????? MORE THAN ONCE????!?!?!!?????

(and also don’t mention season 1 because XChara is what we, in the industry, call ✨mentally ill✨)

like ain’t no way you’re staying sane after some bs like what happened in XTale

love that the explosive furby’s came into play tho

most of this is gonna be me crying over XChara I love him sm he’s so silly and he’s my favorite little scrimblo ever

MF XASRIEL STABBED XCHARA’S SOUL LIKE HELLO?.????

I had to rewatch that scene because I didn’t see the thorns coming out Xasriel’s hand BUT DAMN HELLO???????

my poor boy he doesn’t deserve this

he genuinely cares about what’s happening and hates standing by and doing nothing

also I hope i’m not the only one who saw the tiny faded text while XMettaton was fighting Undyne

the “I am him! (he is trapped within me)” and the “(please, I want to throw up)”

AND FRISK TALKED (barely)

sans is fucking traumatized man, he’s just given up-

Papyrus making jokes about the fucking merciless runs Frisk did “OVER MY MILLIOnTH BEHEADED BODY” like man 💀 honestly I feel that-

CROSS AND GENO !!!!!!!!

the two funny guys meet

I like how Cross still cares about the locket despite probably fucking hating XChara for like, everything rn

then again, it wasn’t XChara that gave it to him, it was XFrisk, so.

also bestie wtf was that unlimited vial for ??????

XGaster really said “here bestie take this. it doesn’t benefit you at all 🥰”

I was wondering how the new outfit would be introduced

also loving how Fresh!Ink’s weapon is those marker-swords every kid made when they had the chance

error really going through it huh 😔

core is so silly I want to be their best friend they’re so silly and nice

I wonder how the people across the world feel about XMettaton’s “OVERDRIVE”

like “wait it was daytime like 5 minutes ago what happened”

“daylight savings???????”

“…it’s????? 2pm??????”

I bet that conversation happened

I wonder how Frisk and XChara are gonna team up, because we know it’s gonna happen, we see it in the intro, Frisk and XChara with the save button

I had this theory that it would happen by XChara running away, Frisk thinking he’s like the others and trying to hurt people, Fight (?) ensues between XChara and maybe Papyrus or Asgore, trying to protect Frisk, XChara explains everything then boom besties but now i’m not sure because of the whole thing with XChara needing “pure determination” to defy XGaster.

I also remember seeing a theory on reddit about the names of each XTale character’s battle themes being foreshadowing for season 2, it was something about how XPapyrus seems to really really hate being on XGaster’s side, and his battle theme’s name is deceit, so maybe he’s lying about his loyalty to XGaster or something along those lines

and it would make sense, but it makes me question the names of everyone else’s battle theme, specifically XFrisk’s, being “Duplicity”

Duplicity definition: deceitfulness; double-dealing

synonyms: two-facedness, decietfulness, deception, funny business, shenanigans, you get the idea

if this whole “Battle theme names being foreshadowing” theory is true, then is he also lying to XGaster about his loyalty? or, to my dismay, would he be lying about something else later on…?

straight up, XMuffet’s is Insurrect, and us americans, after what happened on january 6th 2021, know what insurrection means.

so is XMuffet going to start a rebellion? how?

ALSO I CANNOT FUCKING GET OVER THE FACT THAT THEY BROUGHT THE FUCKING ARMY INTO THIS

MFS BROUGHT GUNS TO A KNIFE AND LAZERS FIGHT

idk something about the idea of someone trying to point a gun at XGaster or something just is so funny to me

and before I stop rambling, let it be known

XFlowey will give me nightmares 🥰

Congratulations, you're the only person to make me interested in xtale. And I have no idea where to start at this point!

TEHE IT'S AN HONOR!! If it was because of the xtaIecest then you're in luck! The xbros are canonically filled with angst and bromantic tension! /j

(All links go to devian/tart, youtube, twitt/er, and tumbIr only)

1. Seriously though, if you haven't watched/aren't interested in Underv/erse (or don't care about a bunch of Sanses fighting each other) and are only interested in the XtaIe lore, I highly suggest watching the complete XtaIe animated series first! they introduce each member of the XtaIe cast very well! (If you prefer splitting each timeline into parts instead of binging them, they also have a playlist)

2. However, if you don't feel like watching an animated series at the moment, there's a comic of the last Timeline (which is also shown in the previous animation but from a different perspective). You don't need to worry about spoilers because the lore in the preceding Timelines in the animation are mostly irrelevant to it (i still recommend watching the animation at one point because it introduces the rest of the cast, as well as provide context for some of the questionable actions that happen in this comic)

Below the cut, there are additional links to optional comics by the creator in case you want to learn more about the characters!

3. There's also a lot of lore and characterization (and more importantly xbro interactions) that happen in the unofficial comics. I have an archive blog that has a lot of the xtaIe comics that are not necessarily canon but still provide some background for the characters. It's not in order, so you kind of have to poke around with the character tags to help you.

(If you have Twitte/r, there is a new account that provides canon info on XtaIe characters! These include official comics that i didn't manage to find for my archive blog. Bless them fr)

4. When you're finished acquainting yourself with the au, Jakei has an ongoing comic called 21 Years that also takes place in Timeline X, but a lot earlier on when they were kids. They also update this comic @/xtaIeunderverse (<- their pinned post also has a more concise guide for new fans ٩( 'ω' )و)

5. This is totally optional, but if you'd like to see what happens to Cross at the end, you could watch Under/verse and start from Season 1 as well! Cross is the protagonist and the story is basically how XtaIe's ending affects the rest of the multiverse. We do see XtaIe characters interact with classic UndertaIe characters in it if that interests you!

TLDR: Start with the animated series, it's the most important.

After that if you want to dive into more lore, read the comic + unofficial comics. If you liked Timeline X specifically, read 21 Years. Watching Under/verse is optional, but watch it if you'd like to see what happens to Cross after the ending.

I hope you find enjoyment in this AU!! It's super interesting, has beautiful art and animation, and wonderfully complex characters. 💜

(If anything is inaccurate here pls let me know! 🙏)

#oh my god im so sorry this is so long #ask #silencium #dude i think the pinned post from xtaIeunderverse is a lot easier on the eyes im really sorry XD

oct 5 - changing seasons part 1

prompt: autumnal rating: m wordcount: 1,464 characters: XTale Sans | Cross, Killer Sans warnings: none chapter count: 1/2 prompt from this post, read it on ao3 here

——

The concept of seasons isn't one that Cross has ever put all that much thought into — simply put, he didn't have to worry about it when he was a Guard, and now that he works for Nightmare it still doesn't really matter. Nightmare's entire realm is stagnant, unchanging, outside of the castle. The trees surrounding the grounds are dead or in some sort of stasis, by and large, and given that there's no sunlight to be found it isn't as if there would be any indication whatsoever of it if the seasons did change.

Color him surprised when he and Killer step out into a universe they're supposed to be scoping out for the boss and finds himself not only on the Surface, but surrounded by fallen leaves and chilly air.

It's new, and strange, and he isn't quite sure what to do about it.

As it isn't the point of the mission, however, he's been able to compartmentalize his shock and awe over it and move on. Seeing as Killer has a tendency to get sidetracked, Cross is really only here to ensure that the recon boss wanted done actually gets done. You know, nudge Killer along and keep him focused.

(Babysitting. He was sent here to babysit.)

(Unfortunately, that leaves him a lot of time to get sidetracked, himself, because Killer is taking this exceptionally seriously for once and doesn't actually need a great deal of nudging.)

In the two days they're in this 'verse, Cross catches himself examining the leaves, the state of the trees he can see, the greyish hue of the sky, constantly. He can't seem to get his mind off of it. It's just so... Bizarre.

Completely and totally bizarre.

Read the rest on AO3!

Heya there! Back with another speedpaint owo. This time I will start a new series of speedpaint where I draw multiple Undertale AU Sanses (yes Sanses) for a period of time until I feel satisfied. So it will be LIMITED. I will make the wallpaper based on a certain category. You can also see the sketch HERE on my @zahra-doodle-sketch blog

The category of this speedpaint will be the "Multiverse Travelers". I know there are many other multiverse travelers type Sans but that's for another category. From left to right there's Quantumtale, Crystaltale, XTale, Epictale, Abysstale, and Paper Crane. I will give the reason why, far below :”>

I also use the music based on what the AU I draw. Nice little detail right? Though if an AU doesn't have a particular music then I'll have to search for a music that will fit them (doesn't have to be UT related lol).

Also, this takes a ridiculous amount of time. Like 2 hours for each bois. Meaning 12 hours of work. Oml XDDD

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Anyway, you CAN use this wallpaper as background PC or something like that. BUT you can NOT use it for commercial related or taking any profit of it UNLESS it's transformative. Please credit when using it ^^. Sharing is really appreciated. ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════╝ In conclusion, please don’t steal it :”>

Well I do hope you enjoy the speedpaint and the art too :") I’m opening commission for this type only on DeviantArt cause I’m underaged to use paypal lol. Please consider check out and see my other stuff qwq

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here’s the reason why I put them there: 1. Quantumtale [TK] by @perfectshadow06 It's because TK is seen to be able travelling through the multiverse from perfectshadow's short comics and some artwork too. Also, looks like he's protecting the timelines too.

2. Crystaltale [Chance] by @zahrart17 (me) If you have been following me then you know that it's my Sans lol. In my story, he has the ability to make portals to travel the multiverse as he pleases and he acts like a guardian to the crystal universes (a copy from the original one). One info can't be spoiled too much right? Also yes, I'm making an animation for the opening as you can see from the music title. Please give him some love too qwq

3. XTale [Cross] by @jakei95 It's obvious. Watch Underverse lmao. It’s a godlike anime XD

4. Epictale [Epic] by @yugogeer012 It's obvious too since he's gonna appear in Underverse Season 2 and he fulls of memes and cookies lol (Feel da power of memes and cookies bruh!). Btw do you notice the rubber chicken? It’s a reference to the Bruh vs Dude comic. I absolutely love it XD

5. Abysstale [Abyss] by @metakazkz It's mostly referring to the old Abysstale. In the old Abysstale, Abyss could make portals to other universes. But with the New Abysstale, he uses the machine at his AU to do it. I actually want to replace him with another Sans since the New one isn't showing travel the multiverse yet or as the main story at this point. But since I already recorded it then...I'll just put it there :3

6. Paper Crane by @little-noko It's a very cool concept. He could also go to other universes as well. Also, he's cute :3 Btw he’s not a sans! Though I still put him here cause he’s the main character for the paper crane story and I already record it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Undertale AUs Wallpaper Series: *The Early AUs *Multiverse Travelers (you’re here)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below here I make a little statement about a certain things I always encountered.

Now, I want to make a statement about the recent comments I got for the past year. No, I do not based my Sans on Abyss or TK. At the time I made him in 2017, I don’t even know they exist lol. I like only know Glitchtale Season 1 and then I kinda left the AU in dust (and the fandom) cause my art suck at that time and I don’t have the will yet. Then I get to do it again on December 2018.

Tbh, I’m kinda upset about it since I made it out of from my heart :>. But now, I kinda see it as okay, maybe they don’t know. But sometimes, some people are stubborn. So I hope this will cleared up the confusion too ^^;

Though I do hope you enjoy the art and the speedpaint. Have a nice day ^^

XTale: Δverse

It's more of a concept than a serious Fanstory; It basically what If X!Gaster decided to incorporate the story of Deltarune into the plot with X!Kris as the main protagonist in the 13th Tale (dubbed XΔ, the 4th iteration of Tale X). The event played with the same consequence of XTale, but with Kris fused with Susie with a piece of the Overwrite code embedded within them. In the First Season, they (with the assistance of Dream) travel across the Multiverse in search of X!Chara. This would involve a more diverse cast of Out!Codes as the original, so it won't suffer form the plague that is "Crisis of Infinite Sans". Note that this is an interpretation of Jakei's "XTale: Underverse", and is in no way canon to the story regardless of scale.

X!Kris:

Kris is a rookie of the Royal Guard who winds up in the mess created from a conflict between Gaster, Sans, and Chara; gaining a piece of the overwrite code herself. She also plays as the Elder Sister of the Humans, as opposed to the younger brother Kris in Jakei's Tale IX.

X!Susie:

Susie is the leader of a gang of delinquents that Kris was tasked to apprehend as her first mission, but their soul fused during the destruction of Their AUs. She retain the hungry, rude attitude that she's well known for in the original Deltarune, yet she cares about her companions.

X!Noelle:

Noelle's a Nobel that secretly looks out for Susies' gang. She have a crush on their leader, yet shy to express her true feelings toward her. She was rescued by X!Gaster and serves an important role in his plans.

Chaos!Jevil:

This Out!Code Jevil is a result of the Hijinks caused by Error!Sans and Ink!Sans. He now became sadistic and cruel seeing the multiverse as a sandbox of mischief. Because of his unpredictable nature, he's often seen as an Harbinger of Chaos: Hence the name "Chaos!Jevil". In this Interpretation, he's the one who expose X!Gaster to the Multiverse and granted him the Overwrite ability.

Curator!Seam:

I'm also thinking of creating a Seam who works as the Curator of the Multiversal Library as well as a guide for our heroes. He also have personal ties with Chaos.

Dream!Ralsei:

I probably have to read up on Dreamtale to get his personality straight. But in this story he will take the form of Ralsei since I personally think it fits him way better than a comedic skeleton. I also see him help X!Kris with her quest the same way Nightmare helps X!Sans.

CORE!Frisk and VesselSwap!Kris:

At this point, V.K. and CORE's relationship got to the point in which the former rescue Genocide survivors at the latter's behest (since CORE's manifestation comes down to a coin toss). V.K. often keep tabs on the duo, while CORE's role has remained unchanged from the original.

And more....

I'm planning to include more Out!Codes into the story along with a list of AUs of both Undertale and Deltarune; but instead of variation of the same two stories, it will involve a variety of new stories with familiar faces (like Harry Potter with Deltarune Characters for example).

On the Subject of Underverse S2

You read that correctly: this is a post about one of the greatest shows ever created, the Undertale animated series Underverse, written/animated by @jakei95. I have a lot of theories that I’ve been pulling together ever since I watched both Underverse and Xtale (the Underverse prequel series). Maybe one or two have no basis in anything, but for some reason they popped into my head and I’ll stick by them until they’re proven incorrect. I will discuss the possibility of a Geno/Ink fight, Fresh!Ink, XI (you’ll definitely want to read their section!), and the fates of many different characters. This is quite the long post, so buckle up for a long ride.

Let’s begin!

GENO/INK FIGHT:

I’m putting this theory first because it is the least important. At some point in time, I somehow got it into my head that there is supposedly going to be a fight between Geno and Ink. I have no idea where I heard about this, and when I searched for any specific videos or posts about the subject, I found nothing. But I personally think a fight scene between Geno and Ink would be pretty cool, so I’m adding this in here.

FRESK!INK’S EXISTANCE:

This is a more relevant theory. Ever since Jakei announced that Fresh!Ink would be a part of Underverse, I have wondered how he would be incorporated. I don’t know if she means for him to be in the future “Beach Episode” or something more serious. (Of course, I know almost nothing about this supposed “Beach Episode”, which is apparently when Epic!Sans will be showing up, so I really wouldn’t know.) But there is an important thing to remember: Ink and Fresh made a deal in the first season.

Ever since I saw this Underverse - Xtra Scene 2, I have wondered what this “prize” could possibly be. What was Ink’s side of the deal? What did he promise Fresh? Hmm... maybe a new body to take over?

Ink’s body doesn’t have a SOUL- that’s basic “Undertale AU Knowledge 101″. What does this have to do in regards to Fresh? To my best knowledge, the actual parasitic creature True!Fresh feeds off the souls of other creatures to survive. In fact, his soul-feeding would kill his victims if he stayed long enough in one body, but he likes to play it safe and leave his victims alive in case he needs to use their body again. But he wouldn’t need to do this with Ink. Because of Ink’s SOULless nature, Fresh could theoretically feed off his body forever. Some might object that since Ink doesn’t have a SOUL, Fresh wouldn’t be able to feed off him. But then how does Fresh!Ink exist?

So, what was their deal? Fresh watches over the Xtale AU while Ink is gone, and after Cross and X!Chara are taken care of, Ink comes back and lets Fresh take over his body for a little while. There may be something else I’m missing, but the pieces seem to make sense.

XI’S PURPOSE:

For those of you who don’t know who XI is, I suggest you watch this video about Jakei’s Overwrite merch. This is when the character of XI was introduced to us, back on good ol’ April 1st, 2019. Haha, yes, the joke character of XI- funny April Fool’s Day video, a good laugh for everyone. Jakei has made a few comics about XI since then, but overall, XI hasn’t been involved in Xtale or Underverse so far. That has never sat right with me, and I’ve always thought there would be something more to him. I was proven absolutely correct when Xtale - The Movie came out. But before we discuss the little extra scene tagged onto the end of that video, I would like to point out some very interesting facts about XI.

On October 6th, 2019, Jakei posted a traditional speedart. Obviously, the art is gorgeous like always and every time I watch it I wonder if I will ever get to the level of skill she is at. But besides that, there is a very important aspect about this video. In the speedart, Jakei drew two pictures: one of X!Chara and X!Frisk fighting, and one of XI. In XI’s picture, they are depicted in full armor with a magical purple sword & shield.

Hmmm... I wonder who this could possible resemble?

Every time XI is shown, whether it be in comics or artwork, their bangs hang over their eyes. Their armor looks exactly like Kris’s from Deltarune. Heck, they both use a sword and a shield! What does this mean? XI is X!Kris. There is no way to deny this. This is why they are X!Chara’s and X!Frisk’s little sibling. I would also like to point out XI’s silver oval locket. I find it interesting how he has a different piece of jewelry from everyone else- all other important characters in Xtale have a matching golden heart locket. Does XI also have people he has given copies of this necklace to? Perhaps X!Susie and X!Ralsei, if they exist? But XI being X!Kris is only the beginning of this theory. Remember how I mentioned Xtale - The Movie earlier? Take a look at this picture.

This is a five-second frame pegged at the very end of the video, after an entry written in wingdings by Mister XGaster himself. The message is as follows:

Entry Number Eleven: As clear as a reflection in a mirror, I have found the most perfect projection of forbidden visions. Get ready. Your time is coming.

Okay, just whoa. Not only is the entry #11, but the person standing there is XI. Oh, and let’s take a closer look at what they’re holding in their hand.

I knew that silver locket was going to be important. There is no way that XI is not going to play a major part in either Underverse S2 or hmm... maybe a spin-off about the Xtale versions of Deltarune characters? To my knowledge, Jakei has not said anything about her plans after she finishes Underverse. She has her Metadora project, and I am aware that her husband @nyxtheshield is planning out his own Undertale series- someone will need to animate that, and I’m sure she would be able and willing to do the job. She has stated that there will be no seasons of Underverse after S2, and the finale will be 1.0. But that doesn’t mean she won’t make a new series. If she does, will it be about all the Deltarune characters? Will the other Xtale characters show up at certain points in it? Will XGaster play a large part in it? There is no way to know, as the idea of a new show is simply drawn from that there may not be enough time in S2 to fully expand what XI is.

In any case, XGaster states in the entry that “your time is coming”. This could either reference a new show or XI’s appearance in Underverse. I find it extremely interesting how XGaster words his message. “The most perfect projection of forbidden visions.” What does that mean exactly? XGaster has seen something in one of his many visions, obviously. The most perfect image of prohibited sights. XI is a person that stands for something that should not be allowed to exist. That makes sense- XGaster, a man, somehow got pregnant and birthed them, as shown in the Overwrite merch video. The “forbidden visions” might imply that he has seen something quite “cursed”, as us modern Internet-users would say. But then he tells this projection to get ready, because their time is coming. XGaster is telling XI to prepare themself. This just proves that XI and XGaster are tied together very closely, and that if XI does get their own series with X!Ralsei and X!Susie, XGaster will be involved.

Whew! That’s a lot of information to take in all at once. This was the big “theory” I wanted to discuss, so now we will move on to the different fates I believe may befall some of our beloved characters.

INK, FOR GOOD OR FOR WORSE?:

Ah, Ink. One of the true protagonists of Underverse. Remember: a protagonist is not necessarily a hero, just one of the leading characters. It has been seen that his story arc is the most important throughout the entire story. He is the one that inspired XGaster. He is the one that made XGaster’s plan succeed. And he very well might be the one to make it fail.

Wait, you’re asking me. I thought he was on XGaster’s side? What do you mean he will make it fail?

I didn’t want to address whether Ink was going to stick with XGaster or flip until a certain song was posted by Nyx two days ago on December 5th, “Soulless Heart”. If you haven’t listened to it yet, go ahead and click that link because the song is beautiful and absolutely necessary to continue on with this theory! The song is the Underverse 0.5 Ending Theme, and guess who it’s about? You guessed it, our good old buddy chum pal Ink. I’ve been listening to it on repeat since it came out, and it really is incredible. (Nyx, if you’re somehow reading this, I would like to personally congratulate you, because not only is the music amazing but mwah! Your voice is a joy, and I would not have any other singer do the vocals.) But the most important thing about the song is the lyrics. Here’s the first verse.

How long have I been longing

to be free and not broken

in this ocean of hollowness?

I don’t want to be forgotten.

Instantly, the lyrics hit you hard. This is about Ink, though, so you can’t expect anything less. Essentially, the song is about the emptiness that Ink feels without a SOUL. This goes along with one of his main aspects in Underverse. The only reason why he worked with XGaster to make sure XGaster’s game worked was so he could feel more emotions. As a chaotic neutral character, Ink literally only cares about himself and his personal goals. But what is interesting about this song is that he addresses the pain he has caused.

Sacrificial lambs

laid upon my path

now are broken worlds

killed by senseless wrath.

Ink knows that he has hurt people. I mean, in the present timeline when 0.5 is to be set, Ink’s actions just caused Error to literally “pull the plug” and destroy all the AUs. (Although, how many AUs were actually destroyed is impossible to determine, because there are still multiple Sanses that will be incorporated into S2 that were residing in their AUs at the time of their supposed destruction.) Ink knows that this is his fault. And now that XGaster has won, Ink will be receiving all those emotions he wanted! In the S2 teaser, which was released on the original Underverse 0.5 release date (the episode was unfortunately delayed due to issues with Nyx’s distributor, RouteNote), shows something very important.

Look at those vials in his hand. Those aren’t just colored vials. Well, they are, but their colors are especially important. Look at their specific colors: orange, yellow, and amber. Previously, Ink’s vials have been seen as very straightforward: roy g biv, that sort of thing.

You have one or maybe two variations, although in this picture there seems to be about four different aqua vials. But there certainly isn’t an amber vial. This goes to show that XGaster followed through on his promise, and Ink has a lot more variations in his color-coded emotion vials. The obvious conclusion from this is that he can feel a lot more things than he thought was possible- including guilt. With his newfound feelings, he could realize that what he did wasn’t just wrong, it was horrible. He might start to blame himself for getting all the AUs destroyed, which in turn might result in a betrayal of XGaster. With his emotions, he would become a real good person. But ultimately, without XGaster’s Overwrite abilities, Ink’s new emotions will fade and he will return to be the same old Ink as before. He will no longer understand why he sacrificed his emotions, and the cycle will start anew. Ink will never be truly happy, because being happy will always mean the suffering of others.

Or, Ink will stick with XGaster. It would be the same fate, after all; if the heroes defeat XGaster, Ink will still lose those emotions. This, though, might leave him feeling bitter and even more willing to do anything to get what he wants, which could potentially lead to him becoming a real villain. Perhaps XGaster isn’t the final boss of Underverse. Maybe the one to start everything will be the one to finish everything.

XGASTER AND UT!GASTER:

This wouldn’t be a real theory post without discussing our favorite fanfiction writer, would it? And yes, XGaster is literally a fanfiction writer. He has symptoms of OCD concerning the world-building of his universe and he just loves to add as much angst as humanly (or monsterly) possible. It just so happens that he lives in his own created universe, so his creations have the pleasurable chance at getting revenge.

Now, there are obviously two ways that Underverse can go: XGaster succeeds, or XGaster fails. This doesn’t necessarily mean that this will be the ending of S2. As I mentioned above, perhaps XGaster will be defeated at the end of 0.9 and 1.0 will be about everyone trying to stop Ink from taking the Overwrite SOUL for his own, I don’t know. In any case, I don’t really have anything to discuss about XGaster specifically, but I am pretty sure I know what his last scene will be if he happens to lose.

It is shown in the Underverse S2 Prologue - Owners that XGaster and UT!Gaster spent a lot of time together in the Void between the events of Xtale and Underverse. Not only do they hold an entire conversation together in Owners, but in Underverse 0.1 when Sans is hit in the head with a ball, he has a vision of the two of them standing together.

In XGaster’s and UT!Gaster’s conversation in Owners, UT!Gaster tells XGaster that he will fail in his quest for perfection. XGaster brushes him off because he’s an egotistical prick, yadda yadda. But this conversation is important because I believe it will parallel the ending of XGaster’s quest. In the end, UT!Gaster will approach his old Void-buddy and tell him to just give up on his pointless venture. XGaster will turn to dust after saying something like, “I will never give up”, and then we have Ink going on a rampage. That’s pretty much all I have to say on them, but I thought it would be worth adding.

DREAM AND NIGHTMARE:

Lastly, we have the brothers. As with XGaster and UT!Gaster, I don’t have much to add with them. But I do believe they will both play a major role in S2. They will be the overseers of the battle to come. Out of all the characters in the Undertale fandom, they are the most omnipotent. They are the protectors of the Tree of Feelings, which is one of three trees to give the Multiverse life. In Underverse 0.4, when X!Chara accused Nightmare of “watching us all this time as if we were part of a show”, Nightmare responded by saying:

Of course, Nightmare mostly means himself, Error, and Ink. Dream is much more active in helping people be happy, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t on the same god-tier level as his brother. Dream could sit back and watch the world tick, but he chooses not to because that goes against his morals.

In other words, Dream and Nightmare will probably affect the outcome of Underverse more than any other characters. They’re both pissed about what Error did: all those people that Dream cared about were murdered, and Nightmare can no longer generate negative feelings from innocents. They both have invested interest in this Multiverse war now, and their powers will certainly come to the forefront.

I believe that at the end of the story, the Multiverse will essentially go back to the exact way it was before Xtale was invented. XGaster will be dead, the Xtale characters will be put back in their AU, the other AUs will be restored, and at the end of it all, Dream and Nightmare will be once again pitted against one another. We may even see an alliance between them during Underverse S2 to stop XGaster, but afterwards, they will reestablish their rivalry. Unless the Omega Timeline comes into play, which it very well might, I don’t see the two brothers reconciling.

CONCLUSION:

Thank you everyone who took the agonizingly long time to read this! I hope this shed some light on certain characters (especially XI) and encourages to make some of your own theories. Stay safe and good night!

Underverse S2 Poster Analysis

Alrighty, @jakei95 posted posters for Underverse Seasons 1 and 2 3 days ago, and let’s be honest, they’re EPIC. But Season 2 isn’t even out yet, but the poster sure gives us a lot of help figuring it out. So let’s get started on these theories, shall we?

WARNING! THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR BOTH UNDERTALE AND UNDERVERSE/XTALE! Download Undertale here, watch Underverse here, and read X-Tale here.

(These are not my art. They belong to Jakei.)

First thing I noticed was the upside-down fingerspelling. Turns out taking ASL classes is useful on the internet, because I managed to effortlessly translate the hands as ‘APOCALYPSE’. What does this mean? My only guess is (taken from the X-Tale Omega FLowey that we’ve only seen once) is that after Error annihilated the AUs, all of the characters either died or had to go SOMEWHERE. Or XGaster is pulling a Spider-Verse and is tossing X-Omega Flowey into UNDERTALE for laughs. Sike. He is pulling another one of his “experiments” most likely. Nearby is some purple glowing papers. In the UTAU fandom, papers often represent the different Alternate Universes, which, if I remember correctly, were all destroyed by Error at the end of episode 0.4. There are 10 pages, which means 10 AUs, or perhaps 10, or should I say...X timelines? If you have read the X-Tale comic, you know that there were ten timelines, each one revolving around a specific boss character from UNDERTALE. These papers may represent these timelines. But aside from that, there’s that purple SOUL, and the ominous face. I know that XGaster and X-Frisk both had half a purple SOUL, but XGaster’s was kept by Ink (until 0.4 when it was released). But it is not upside-down, like a monster’s SOUL is. It is the position of a human SOUL, meaning some human has taken control of the power to OVERWRITE, or there’s a new challenger in the ring entirely. Who knows? Jakei does. But I don’t, which is why this is called a theory.

Second was the hands themselves. They may look like XGaster’s at first but...OwO what’s this? They are NOT LINED (non-skeletal) and the have little hearts on the wrists. They still have XGaster’s famous X-holes in them though. Dafricc? I dunno. Just something to think about.

Third comes the background. Besides the Omega Flowey standing on Mt.Ebott, there is also Asriel’s Falling Star attack from the True Pacifist Final Boss in UNDERTALE. This is p confusing because we already see X-Tale Omega Flowey, and there can’t be Asriel and Omega Flowey at once, because they are parts of the same entity. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be another Asriel. Which bring me to the fourth and final topic...

The characters seen. In the middle of the action as usual is Frisk, the seventh human to fall into Mt.Ebott and the possessor of the DETERMINATION SOUL. They are seen trying to reach a purple star, which is weird, because they’re supposed to touch yellow stars. I am confusion! Help me on this guys!! Anyways, then there are the monsters on the bottom. Alphys, Undyne, Papyrus, Cross, Toriel, Asgore, Sans...wait, CROSS?! That’s right, Cross in in the middle of these monsters, staring up at either Frisk or Ebott. This means the Cross zoomed to the UNDERTALE universe at the end of 0.4, and is watching the Apocalypse go down with the OGs. Oh yeah, there are buttercup flowers whizzing by the boss monsters, a familiar locket on Frisk’s neck, and a red, glowing knife in their hands. Chara? Pure DETERMINATION? Who hecking knows, cuz I sure don’t!

But that’s all I could gather, sadly. Guess we’ll have to wait until 0.5 comes out to see if at least one of my theories is right. If you have your own ideas, make a theory post about it! Alright, I’m done, so see ya!
