・・・UNDERTALE YELLOW SECOND ANNIVERSARY ・・・
As the second anniversary for undertale yellow comes closer, me and @uty-dj-mod have decided to work together in creating a prompt list for the days leading up to the anniversary, prompts are by them and art is by me! All prompts are to be related to UTY and you only need to choose one a day, if you decide you would rather skip out entirely though that's entirely fine! If you'd like to participate please tag your creation as #2tyversary so the account @2tyversary may be able to reblog all posts for the anniversary, allowing for all to be seen more easily. -- The following prompts are1. Family/Celebration 2. Fav UTY au (thats not your own)/Crossover 3. OC/pre or post game 4. relationship/favorite memory 5. favorite design/growth 6. home/headcanon 7. Redraw your favorite UTY art (done by you)/Surface
A FEW EXTRA CREDITS! And by that, I mean just one.
@thesecondsanctuary for the first event last year which inspired this one.
Aaaaaand then I'ma just reblog it here as well for the lil pinned post! I think I'll make the tagging system the same as last year, so "p: (prompt)" and "m: (medium)". Dunno what the mediums are gonna be just yet, so those'll be added whenever I see a new one
Hello! Sorry to bother you with another ask, but if you do end up trying shades of justice, do you think you'll make posts talking about changes to the base game it makes and the mods characterization? I'd be interested in your thoughts on how the mod characterises Dalv and Martlet in their new scenes and hangout (the Martlet hangout especially is the sweetest thing in the game).
Side question, if I may ask: Is Kestrel, Martlet's sister from the undertale yellow art book, canon to "It Takes A Village"? Once again, thank you for your time and have a great day!
Please you are NEVER bothering me, I love talking about writing and UTY even if I’m not super active on my Tumblr otherwise
I haven’t started playing yet, blogging about it wasn’t something that crossed my mind but it’s not something I’m opposed to by any means, especially because analysis posts are something I like to do. So I’m happy to do it knowing it’s something you’d be interested in! I can lyk when I start the game and put the posts in a tag
I’ll be so honest I forgot about that detail from the art book LOL but I have been purposefully vague about Martlet’s family so far so it’s not completely out of the question. I don’t have any plans to make any interpretation of Martlet’s family a real factor in the plot besides a past factor that drives her present, but I do have ideas of what that looked like for her, so involving Kestrel in those and having her brought up isn’t out of the question
You have a good day as well!! It really means a lot that you’re so invested in my opinions!
Hello! I'm loving "It Takes A Village" so far, especially with how you characterize Martlet and Clover's relationship, and your characterization of Dalv. My boy deserves more screen time, especially since he's the first monster Clover befriended (and I've always felt like he was actually the monster they were closest to besides Martlet, but that may be the shades of justice mod influencing my thoughts). Dalv and Martlet are an underrated duo, I've always felt like he is the member of the main cast Martlet would get along with the best, though I may be biased as one of probably like 4 Dalvlet shippers.
Stuff I've already said on the ao3 comments aside, if it isn't a spoiler, may I ask how you think Undyne would interact with Clover? I've always believed that a pacifist Clover would have an easier time befriending Undyne than Frisk, and that Undyne would adore Clover. The Spear of Justice would respect the hell out of the justice soul human, I think.
Thank you for your time and have a great day!
THANK YOUUUUU this made my day genuinely. I always love knowing my pieces are being enjoyed!! Characterizing Dalv has been so much fun and I do also feel like his mellow personality goes well with theirs in a way that doesn’t get acknowledged. Criminally, I haven’t actually played SoJ yet, but I’ve been itching for a UTY replay lately so maybe that’s what finally drives me to do it. And I won’t lie and say writing Dalv and Martlet’s interactions hasn’t felt way more fun and natural than I was expecting it to, even though I’m not super sure what I’m gonna do with their arc as a whole just yet
To actually answer your question, I’m gonna stay a bit tight-lipped on my full thoughts for future plot purposes 🫢 but I feel like in a vacuum they would ABSOLUTELY become besties. Especially considering how very outwardly passionate Clover is about protecting monsters, and their respective obsessions with subsections of “human history”, their ambitious energies would just bounce off each other infinitely. And on the flip side, I think them meeting each other in the context of Geno would solidify each of their warped worldviews so strongly that the ensuing battle would blow up the entire world in its intensity
The most interesting thing about Undyne’s role as the Spear of Justice is that the SOUL trait used in her battle is green. Ofc it’s mostly a mechanical thing, but combine that with the “You have a kind soul, Clover” “No I have a justice soul” jokes and it really goes to show just how much the two traits rely on each other. There would be a lot of room for exploration of that with their relationship
Thank you for your time as well!!! I love love LOVE to yap about characterization and whatnot so I will gladly take any opportunity to do so, and thanks again for the kind comments!
This served as a helpful reminder for me to actually plug my writing on Tumblr lol
Check out my ongoing fic!! It’s your standard “Clover lives AU” with focus on the characters and expanding their respective arcs. I’m having a lot of fun with it!
It technically precedes a Steamworks retelling I finished almost exactly a year ago (crazy), but it’s not necessary context. More info in the notes

Headcanon that the reason the trashcan lid blocks bullets is because the Steamworks higher-ups decided that instead of teaching all their employees proper lab procedures, hazardous substance protocols, etc, they would just make the trashcans indestructable and went “yep that should be enough”
Carol Holiday is so interesting to me because I made this big rambly post when the new chapters first came out about how I believe she’s been being set up to be a major antagonist from the start and her villainous qualities make her compelling. Which I still stand by. And yet I LOOOVE seeing people explore her more sympathetically and how Rudy’s deteriorating health could have been affecting her since before Dess’ disappearance and how her need for control could be the only way she knows how to show love. It’s the fact that both can exist at the same time. It’s the fact that she can have hurt others and yet there is still space to acknowledge how she is hurting. I love nuance in character writing
Maybe one of these days I’ll have more structured thoughts but probably not until AT LEAST Ch. 5. And the truth still stands that she is very terrifyingly reminiscent of a lot of unsavoury parents in people’s lives, my own included. So exploring her character has been equally terrifying and fascinating and that’s probably why I love it so much
Finally updated the dialogue dump for 1.2!

UTY ANNIVERSARY DAY 1: Favorite Character
(BRO, IT'S BEEN A YEAR???? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!?)
So, I've been chronically on AO3 for quiiiite a biiiiit and it's come to my attention that there are a lotta good authors on there! So, I figured, what better way to show some appreciation than to sketch out some of my favorite UTY fanfictions that relate to said favorite character God,mywristhurts—.
This isn't really listed in any particular order, because I cannot in good conscience rank them all because I love them for different reasons. A brief review will be given for each story, so I hope you'll indulge me in this unwavering hyperfixation caused by this stupid neural virus who has yet to leave my brain why are they still there—
HERE THEY ARE! (Reviews are at the bottom so you can enjoy the art—)

CSO: What I enjoyed most about this take is how it deals with the consequences of Clover choosing their life over their mission. It is a conflict of interest for everyone involved, especially themself, and one can only handle that external (and internal) pressure for so long until they finally break.
JiB: Who woulda thought just being a liiiittle bit curious could cause a lot of development for our main cast? It's a fine blend of wholesome family moments and a lot, and I mean a LOT, of dying and Flowey ruining everything. It's honestly been fun trying to see what the domino effect is.
RtF: Slow burn, complex relationships, reconnecting of characters, and the wonder of a new life for two lost, revived souls. This has everything I enjoy out of a story and more. As I am not only a sucker for Kanako and Clover interacting, but also watching friction between characters, how it happened and why, and what eventually leads to something greater down the road. It's a beautiful read <3
DJ: Chara and Clover have a dynamic that is genuinely fun to explore, and I enjoy the banter these two have in this work a lot. They aren't friends yet, buuut, maybe they'll start to grow on each other. As long as Clover's alright with getting their body hosted from time to time—
(CURRENTLY ON HIATUS)
UB: I am a simple person. I see Clover & Kanako, I click—
It fuels my euphoria in ways I can't describe, they're so wholesome ;v; Between this and the lingering tension between Clover and Chujin, and the overarching conflict of interest, I am more than excited to see where this goes >:D
UTDR x DR: Jesus, take the wheel, but, like, what if it did—?
I just remember scrolling through YT and suddenly this came up on recommended and I just remember being baffled by the ending. Now there's a multiverse apparently, when did that happen?
I almost hate how invested I got in this very NOT series, but I find it hilarious out of context, which only makes it better—
Intervention: This one's a rollercoaster, man.
Don't think I've said "ow" in a fanfiction before reading this one. It's more than just Martlet dying, but the buildup to what leads to this point and the brutal aftermath is what makes this so strong for me. It's a dosage of pain, but it's well written, dangit—
SWM: I was close to adding "Calling Out to No One", but this tops it only because its longer, really. And provides a HEAVY DOSAGE of pain. I felt my heart ache like it did first seeing Pacifist, man, it hurt—
I enjoy a lot of DiamondDeputy's takes on the default scenes from all the different routes of UTY (they somehow made the worst scene in the game bearable, how'd they do that—) so this easily climbed to some of my top favorites, I especially love the insight on the journey through Ceroba's perspective, really helps drive that conflict of interest I love a lot.
ASoJ: How bad can housing a murderer of at least fifty people truly be? It's not like they'd have any ulterior motives or anything, noooo, that'd be silly!
It's another story with a conflict of interest. Between Martlet letting her good heart win over reason, and Clover seeing just what their violence has truly caused, it had me waiting for the moment where everything would crash and burn for everyone involved. And boy, did it burn.
(How we have pain in pacifist and wholesomeness in geno is a constant that is beyond me—)
Fo2T: Aand, finally, the story that started it all!
An action packed, fun filled adventure of dubious dealings and chaotic consequences featuring the most dysfunctional trio to ever grace the Underground.
So many developments, story wise, character wise, I ended up binging this story way too fast, and I'm probably gonna have to read it all over again—. I'm excited for it though, Frisk (Chara) and Clover eventually meeting, the memory dilemma getting attention, and Clover f i n a l l y getting their hat back (very important, a staple, really)
It feels like I'm watching a shonen, the way I'm invested in it sometimes. I've screamed over it way too much XD
(The fact that it took 20 chapters to get out of Hotland is honestly hilarious tho—)
If you somehow ended up down here, then I implore you to check these out for yourself, form your own opinions on them, and brace yourself because Blind is VERY long (but very worth it)—
The fact that I’m just recently seeing this is a CRIME. Thank you SO SO SO much for the beautiful artwork and kind words, it seriously made my day to see my work included in such a love letter to the community
Stumbled upon @braverysview earlier today and I just HAD to draw the little goober. He’s so cute!!! Much love to the team
Useless
Inspired by the absolutely devastating Ralsei fic Keep Smiling by @diamonddeputy. I claim no credit for this idea, I'm merely iterating upon it.
I can't even smile right.
I used to know who I was - what I was. I had all the answers, I had all the solutions. I guided my chosen heroes, my twin lights, through the darkness, showed them the proper way to behave, soothed them when they were hurt, shielded them from the horrors that lay just out of frame, all prying eyes and yawning mouths that would swallow up any lesser person...
But they were never lesser. And all too quickly, I found that my perfect script had been flipped on its head.
Now I am the one who stumbles blindly for answers to questions I didn't even know existed. Now I am the one whose words and actions are continually at fault. Now I am the one who needs guidance, lost in a land I thought I knew so well, watching as my heroes, my friends, eclipsed the very darkness that threatened the world, eclipsed me, without even realising it.
But this was - IS - my purpose. If I cannot do this simple thing, then what is left for me?
The one thing I had left was my role as comforter... and yet even in this trivial thing I have failed miserably. My attempts to console were treated with annoyance or contempt, and then shamefully I was the one who needed comforting. And what use is a teddy bear that cannot bring even a shred of reassurance to its owners? What use is a smile that cannot reach anyone's heart - least of all my own?
To be useless was once my greatest fear... but how naive I was. Now I know, I am worse than useless - a burden to be carried, and a complete failure as a darkner, a hero... a friend.
This is such a profoundly interesting addition to my take on his character. That it comes from equal parts feelings of inadequacy from what he understands of his purpose, and also how scary it must be to effectively know everything and STILL not have the answers. In striving to change the prophecy, he forgot that would bring about unpredictability, and he very clearly doesn’t deal well with situations he doesn’t KNOW he can fix. Kris and Susie merely adapt to what’s coming because they don’t know what to expect, but of course, in the eyes of someone who DOES, it’s going to look like they’re just so much better at being what the world needs of them.
It can be an unfortunately very comforting thing to see a situation that has no immediate solution, and then look for any way to take the blame on yourself for not magically conjuring one up, because the only way to feel in control is to make it your fault. Toby Fox writes his internal dilemmas with so much tact and seeing the ways that fans like us can build on it and send a signal that he and we are not alone in feeling that way, but are so much more than that, is one of the greatest things to come out of the fandom imo. And it’s absolutely not just him, so many characters have this layer of depth.
Thank you so much for this :) I’m so glad you liked my piece and I hope you enjoyed writing yours!
Asleep
Full image below:
i just left this as a comment on an instagram post but uh…
you ever think about the fact that kris does seem to genuinely care about and get along with susie, but that susie doesn’t actually know Kris she just knows us controlling kris.
do you think kris worries about whether susie would still like them as them and not while being possessed? or if susie finding out about the player would scare them or mess up their friendship? do you think it’s more lonely and hurtful for them to hanging out with susie and ralsei, doing things that they might genuinely find fun otherwise , but being disconnected from the moment because they aren’t actually doing these things. they are something of an observer watching someone else pretending to be them making friends with someone kris might actually like but it’s not kris who’s making friends with them
or what about when the player makes a choice that kris never would but susie or ralsei seem to like it?
i hope susie gets to properly meet the real kris soon. themes moments we see of them where we dont really choose what kris doing are so sweet. like when their pouring juice into eachothers mouths in the church or when kris gives susie the knife to make the dark world and blushes when susie asks if they always carry a knife with them. or the other little gremlin things that kris has done in the past or does without our control that susie appreciates.
i just think they would be very good friends and i hope they can be one day
There is never a moment where I’m not thinking about this. And it’s like. I genuinely don’t care how she feels about me as long as she comes around to getting to know Kris. Because it’s so clear that they really do care for her and would show her the same compassion without us. But the fact that she can’t be sure what was them and what was us. Augh. Eugh. Ow.
new knight theory
what if
i'm aware the "steps" are a bit out of wack, some of these pics probably don't need to be here LOL, but it was fun to draw and i think still communicates the basic idea- if you can create a dark fountain just by stabbing the earth "with intent", what would happen if it was a person instead
