Home to updates and information regarding Breaking Point, an Undertale AU… of sorts. Run by @get-your-fuckin-star-bitch.

[breaking-point-construction]

[ * THE ASK BOX IS OPEN! ]

[ * You’ll now be able to talk to Breaking Point itself! I’ve always loved the idea of a world being able to think and speak for itself, and this seems like it could be an interesting way to introduce people to the world, since I’m not yet able to draw much (irl responsibilities </3). ]

[ * EDIT: I realized I never explained who’s who.

Anything in a box [ * that looks like this ] is me, Aster! (The creator of this au.)

If it’s in a box and italics, [ * like this ], then I’m narrating the environment or adding descriptors to people or dialogue.

Anything in italics outside of a box, like this, is the world itself talking.

Hope this explains a bit. ]

[ * The rules should be obvious, but just in case, here they are:

1 - Don’t be a dick. Death threats or rudeness towards myself, other askers, or Breaking Point itself is not allowed. This should be applied to anyone who is being rude, too.

2 - As an extension of that: do not harass other people. I don’t care if they’ve said something stupid or rude or anything similar. I don’t care what your reason is. If I find out you’ve been doing this sort of thing towards someone else, you will be blocked and prevented from interacting with this blog or any of my other blogs. If there is a problem, I will handle it.

3 - Flirting with the world is fine, but please refrain from making sexual comments. This is a 16+ blog, not an 18+ blog. ]

[ * These are the rules as of November 3rd, 2025. I may update them as time goes on. ]

[ * The tag for these asks will be #ask the world . It’ll be in the tags of this post so that it’s easier to get to if you want to see all of them. ]

[ * I think that’s all. Enjoy! ]

[ * EDIT: I’m hoping the fact that I said this is meant to be a 16+ blog didn’t scare people away or anything.

All I really mean by 16+ is that this story is probably going to have a lot of darker themes in it.

I’m hoping to balance the grittier stuff out with some more fun elements as well, but I wanted to make sure people know that there is either definitely or probably going to be elements or examples of:

- Gore. Probably not too over the top, though I did do a lot of research on terrible ways people can die when I was in quarantine, (I’m a writer, guys, I swear /silly), meaning there might be a little more realism put into things like that than usual.

- Some people who are creeps (they’ll probably end up dying, though. Or get karma served in other ways.)

- Stuff relating to sex. I’m not sure about the specifics yet. This isn’t a Steven King novel, though, so it’s definitely not going to be too much of a Thing.

- The entire social/political climate of the 50s. Sexism, racism, homophobia, red scare propaganda, the works! McCarthy himself might not exist in this universe, but the ideas he worked off of definitely still do. ]

[ * So just be warned, that’s all. If you’re under 16 and you feel like you’re probably gonna be chill with it, that’s totally fine. I started this whole thing when I was 14, so I get it. ]

it’s interesting how upset some people have gotten over negative things like homophobia and fatphobia being present in my writing. unfortunately I’ve had a life where those have been huge, shaping factors, and I like to talk about it. I was deeply anorexic for a number of years, and have had friendships and familial relationships deteriorate because of my queerness. being able to say “hey, this exists and it really, really sucks, now watch the fatphobic person get punched by a dragon” is kinda just what works for me, personally. I have a lot of feelings with nowhere else to put them, so my writing is always going to cater to my own catharsis.

Should every person in breaking point who is a bigot/asshole explode

Yes

Also yes

Different more personal fate but still yes to violence

can we ask Maxwell questions?? is he available?? or is that just like............ the equivalent of a paranormal entity (us the askers) asking to just talk to an average guy

[ * She laughs. ]

Yes, I am afraid he is not available for questions, for the reasons you gave… I fear such an interrogation might be a bit too much of a shock for him.

[breaking-point-construction]

hi maxwell !

hi mx. world !!

what happened to Maxwell? he seemed so happy in that one photo and so tired in his introduction :(

[ * She sighs. ]

Ah… yes. The boy with the lavender eyes…

I’m afraid I cannot tell you much. It would be, as you say, “spoilers”…

But I can give you a name.

“Kalil”.

What is it with me and drawing buildings crooked-

I mean, in fairness, I freehanded this, but still, oh my god. It’s horrible. The building’s nice but the slant is miserable.

[wt-nv-quotes]

A story is never for the listener. It is always for the one who tells.

[get-your-fuckin-star-bitch]

Drawing from months ago I’ll never finish.

Photograph of Artifex Major getting photobombed in the middle of his photoshoot by a young Maxwell. Ca late 1940s, black and white.

[ * LOG 2 - 12/21/25 ]

[ * Chapter 1 is currently in progress. To be completely honest, it sounds awful at the moment. I have only just been introduced to the main character, and I’m unsure what to make of her yet. ]

[ * This is not to say she’s in any way bad, per se. Simply… unexpected. ]

[ * As I’m unsure if much of this will make it into the final draft, here is a part from the first chapter that doesn’t provide any spoilers. ]

“What on god’s green earth were you doing over there with that man?”

“Well, he kept staring at me while I was managing the register. I figured that if he was staring at me like that, he might want something. And if I couldn’t give it to him, I might as well give him a piece of my mind. But he just… well, he gave me this.” She showed her the card.

Bridget gasped. “Is that gold? Wait, give it here, let me see it!” She practically ripped the piece of fancy paper out of Kit’s hand and started reading it intently, then turned to Kit with a snap. “Kitty.”

Kit grinned. “Yes.”

“Kitty, you have to go. You won’t just pass this up, will you, please, Kitty, you have got to go!!!” She squealed, grabbing Kit by the shoulders.

“It starts at seven, I can’t-“

“Miss Miriam!! Miss Miriam, you’ve got to see this!!” Bridget immediately cried, waving the letter in the air as she ran to find their manager. Kit sighed, laughing. Bridget could always be counted on to get someone out of work if they needed it. She was all about drama and theatrics. She’d definitely figure out a way to make her not attending the “get-together” sound like a Shakespearean tragedy.

Sure enough, after only about ten minutes, Bridget came running back, beaming, card still in hand. “You’ve got it: shift ends in only thirty minutes, and I’ll cover both of our duties. It’s all ready for you!! Now you really have to go, or else I’ll look silly!!”

[ * I’m sure this isn’t as rough as I think it is, but I know I can do better. I just need to get to know the characters better. I was only introduced to Kit yesterday. I know next to nothing about her, or her friend Bridget, or her job, or much of anything, really. ]

[ * But I’ll tell you this: she may be a woman in the 50s, but she is not the watered-down caricatures of women that pervade that era’s media. ]

[ * I hope you all find her very, very… wonderful. ]

[breaking-point-construction]

[ * Monster concept art, with a bonus scribble of Grillby’s! ]

[* The monster side of the river has a lot of stone (or maybe concrete?) bricks making up the sidewalks of the part of town Grillby’s is in. Tried to sketch it out for my own reference. ]

Undertale AU bingo card. I made it completely out of boredom and insomnia.

Feel free to check your AU with it (don't forget to notify me in any way because I wanna see it)

I will do the checking for my own AUs later because it's late and I am going to bed.

[breaking-point-construction]

[ * I don’t think this counts as spoilers… ]

[ * There are some things on here I wasn’t sure about, but the ones I highlighted are absolutely accurate. ]

[dizzyhslightlyvoided]

The ultimate irony of the Auditors of Reality, who hate all forms of life because it makes the universe too unpredictable, is that the universe where they exist runs on narrative causality as an actual physical law. (Indeed, several of the Discworld books feature characters who know these laws well enough to exploit them to their own advanage!)

Their universe does, in fact, follow an immutable immaculate order, that which comes from any story with a linear plot and the traditional beginning, middle, and end. This is, if anything, more orderly than the Auditors' desired hypothetical empty universe "where things spun and rocks fell"! And yet they cannot understand humanity and all its abstract concepts, they think of everything in terms of atoms and molecules and chemical reactions, and beauty as a concept entirely escapes them. The Story is incomprehensible to the Auditors, because they couldn't plot their way out of a wet paper bag. They will never succeed in their goal of destroying all life, because they are the villains of the story, and the laws of narrative causality state that the villains are always defeated in the end.

And even if they did succeed, they too would cease to exist, because on a meta level, there could be no more stories told in that universe! After all, "things spun and rocks fell and the Auditors observed it" is not what makes a Discworld book. Nothing will come of nothing, and no story will come from no-story. Is it not written, "that sort of thing doesn't happen around here"? They simply cannot win, no matter what they do.

The world, what do you think of developments made ? Are we talking railway tracks and roads? Have we gone beyond smoking indoors ?

Oh, dear. I’m afraid the railway might be in bad shape… but the roads are plentiful. Smoke has not yet stopped billowing out of most shops, and it wafts through the streets quite often.

I believe mister “surgeon general” still puts his weight behind these “cigarettes” people have grown fond of… war time put money in people’s pockets, and afterwar… well, the empire grew.

It’s a shame they destroyed the rail-track… it would have done little, but it would have been wonderful to hear the train whistle now and again.

[breaking-point-construction]

[ * In terms of development, we do have trains, we’ve got roads, we’ve got lots of smoking. We just don’t have an active train in the area right now. ]

[ * Also a clarification: the world’s view is limited to the area that our story takes place in. She cannot see much beyond that. Probably should have mentioned that before, lol ]

Well Maxwell seems very noir-detective-y, is it the 30s-50s? Or does he just dress like that for the love of the game lol

[ * You’re in the right ballpark, yes! …well, not just ballpark, you’ve basically nailed the range. Suppose it wasn’t as unclear as I thought, lol. ]

[ * Yes, this story takes place some time between ‘45 and ‘65. ]

[ * Since that was really, really fast, and therefore anticlimactic, how bout we try something more specific. The year that this story begins in! ]

[ * I haven’t given any hints yet about this part, so you all are gonna have to get creative here! ]

[breaking-point-construction]

[ * Small note: you’ll be getting these clues from Breaking Point itself, again. The ask box is still open for communication with them, I’ve just been talking a lot today. ]

[breaking-point-construction]

[ * Find it kind of funny that no one’s asked about the time period lol. I’ve been giving very small hints, but I don’t think I’ve explicitly stated it yet, and I also doubt it’s very obvious at all. ]

[ * …But telling you all outright is boring. ]

[ * So let’s have fun with it! You can ask questions to gather more clues, and then try and guess the decade/era. I’d love to see how you all try to figure this out! ]
