me and the worm decided to make rabbit and hare coded fellswap designs. I got the bunnies, and made these, and Dirt made the hares. They’re very stand offish and yes I gave ‘em faint buck-teeth vibes lol

I dunno how to tag this so uh, hopefully what I end up with works out lol

this sums up my approach pretty well to enjoying things in ut au spaces. so like. dont be surprised if i take liberties with little things here and there with some of the big ones

fullversion on my bluesky because apparently tumblr is on permanent baby mode now? idk if this'll count because it's tentacles and bones/no ecto and whatnot but still /SHRUG

lucid - a dream design for me and @hollowedoutroot 's take on a swapped dreamtale original design sketches (really liked the original and i don't think i did good on the firmed-up attempts in 2 and 3. i want to give him another go sometime soon and get him right) + mermay depiction as a magnapinna squid mer

more destructivedeath silly bullshit this time hollowknight/silksong au edition me and root talked about this sidequest premise hehe. hornet winds up in a platforming chase miniboss fight chasing error around until reaper fucking koolaid mans through the cavern wall and it becomes clear error is just trying to avoid his stalker

i like them........ buges

[dirts-wormbin]

DOUBLEDUSTARD..... dust x @hollowedoutroot 's dustfell sans design (who i like to call rusty)... basically they both met each other before things got REAL bad for either or both of them. (well more like worse for rusty, poor guy). (bonus cross having an internal screaming fit. we've had so many rp's where he's still in nightmare's crew/maladjusted moron polycule party and he wants to kiss???? BOTH Of theM. SO badly?)

i always have to make new fellswap skeletons whenever i get back into undertale au shit its like a natural physics law or something. i can never resist the pull

@hollowedoutroot has more naturalistic based designs that are rabbit coded, and these ones are cyberpunky and hare-coded. ~duality woooo~ I'll be tagging these two as #fellswap_penrose when i draw them again. im weirdly fixated on making a lot of design choices around triangles with their au, particularly penrose triangles

[dirts-wormbin]

text is part of a destructivedeath rp i wrote with root that ill probs draw more scenes from in future. this scene in particular between these two i wrote.

ink is being intentionally dishonest about reaper's geno becoming error in hopes that it will dissuade him.

he's usually a humongous bastard the way i play him or at least very callous. sorry nice-only ink fans i think his character flaws are fascinating to explore

✰RAVE/Y2K/DDR FRESHSANS LESGOOOOOOO✰

another concept that i went batshit crazy over when it came into my head

original drawing + my personal refsheet i kind of want to redo at some point + a 'player 2' style palette shift that i thought also looked sick

freshmagicgroove by IKAAN.fresh is his theme and i hope it's obvious why. it's fucking perfect

making ones own au sans is like a rite of passage through the straits of embracing cringe. its quite liberating

tagging with #b_e!sans if you are weak to my cringe inspired loosely by kirkbride's concept art for ash zombies from morrowind. the whole 'head burst from enlightment/unknowable knowledge' thing with a crater for a face stuck with me With a bonus Harlequin!Sans whomst belongs to @hollowedoutroot in pic 2 :3 lore below

"What if".

Crater exists because Sans could not let that question go.

He was originally a Sans from a standard UT True Pacifist timeline, where Frisk became the human-monster ambassador. That Frisk never kills anyone, and they insist on never resetting again after breaking the barrier and letting everyone have their happy ending. Frisk insisted on this well into adulthood.

Even so, Sans becomes fixated on certain uncertainties, certain "what ifs"-- what if Frisk resents him for not 'keeping an eye socket' out for them, or even suspecting them, threatening them, back when they were still trying to break the cycle for everyone's sake?

"In spite of everything, I chose to be kind," Frisk told him, sensing Sans was in disquiet one day. "I chose to forgive you, a long time ago.

"You made your choices then, and what you do now is up to you.

"I'm hoping you choose to believe me when I say I'm not going to reset this world again."

Sans wanted to-- he very much wanted to. But he couldn't let it go.

"What if---------?"

Sans became fixated on the idea of trying to make their current timeline immutable and permanent, regardless of the influence of DT and Resets, regardless of what Frisk had promised.

He did something he couldn't take back.

Sans peered into a view he was never meant to have.

His mind connected to the multiverse. Not only the multiverse, but also the state of quantum superposition of every single iteration of every single AU, of all potential discrete states or possible states of every given AU at once.

His skull shattered from the influx of data, of knowledge-- and the experience altered him irreparably from what/who he was before.

The core 'code' of his AU couldn't handle his presence anymore, and forcibly ejected him into the greater multiverse -- like muscles spasming around a dislocated joint.

Ironically, in his own home AU he was replaced with a reset version of himself that was identical in every way - except that it was a version that decided to take Frisk at their word and accept happiness.

He took the other path.

--

His experience plays with headcanon around 'quantum superpositions', in the UTMV's context:

While time does progress in a linear fashion when an AU is being ‘observed’ or ‘experienced’ in real-time,

ie. when you jump into an Underswap that is following the normal track of a Genocide/Neutral/Pacifist route,

the rewinding of time, LOADing/SAVing and Resets gives the whole of the AU instance a state of ephemerality where its ‘outcome’ in a linear timeline does not actually ‘matter’ once you are no longer ‘in’ it or observing it at a fixed point.

No choice or timeline is truly immutable or ‘matters more’ than any other.

In other words, no matter the expressed or internal intentions of any Frisk/Chara/etc, the probability of them engaging a Reset or loading/saving or undoing previously done actions is NEVER at 0% from a spacetime standpoint. As long as the powers of Determination exist, no AU is truly immutable.

Every possibility exists at once simultaneously. The connectivity and existence of the multiverse makes this even worse.

--

*you know Schrodinger’s cat, right? *the cat that's equally alive and dead unless you're looking right at it? *it ain't a real cat, but anyway. *picture this. *billions of sealed boxes of cats out there that could be alive or dead - that's the multiverse. *...i see into all of them at once. *i see them alive and dead all at once. *and you know what? *maybe i just want to break all these fucking boxes open. *let all these cats stay alive or dead already.

--

He’s got no choice in being able to see into those boxes and become aware of the ‘aliveness’ or ‘deadness’ of said cats.

No choice but to be inherently, constantly aware of the infinite potential vector of suffering or happiness of any AU, any person in any given AU, and how little it’s observed/fixed current state matters.

Anytime someone does something slightly different, makes different choices, or a given AU is born that has subtle differences from its ‘parent’ (ie. a Fellswap with slightly different characterizations or narrative elements, or just a human that by chance MAKES DIFFERENT CHOICES)– that just births a new box with a new Schrodinger's kitten in it, destined to suffer in impermanence forever.

Just more and more potential boxes splitting off ad infinitum and giving him even more sub-superpositions to be painfully aware of.

--

To that end, wants to try and ‘break’ the quantum state of the multiverse– to find a way to make it that time and choices can no longer be rewound, that only one linear iteration and outcome is sustained forever, and that whatever it’s endpoint is will remain as such.

To make it so AUs are in a state of pure temporal linearity and immutable with time only moving forward.

The very force of Determination itself, outside actors like visitors from other AUs, or whatever unseen force keeps MAKING the damn things (so… creators/us?)-- these are all the things he wants to break.

And he doesn’t care what he has to do to achieve it.

He might frame this as an act of altruism, like he's trying to stop suffering in 'bad' AUs, or 'end the cycle'-- but this isn't true. At best, he's deluded himself into thinking that's his motivation; at worst, that's just the reason he gives to manipulate people into thinking he's on their side.

Realistically, it’s completely selfish.

Being aware of the multiverse in this specific way is incredibly overwhelming and maddening and he just wants it to be quiet, and he doesn’t care how far he has to go to achieve that.

i went absolutely apeshit crazy for this ship in february

to quote myself on the blue butterfly website - as fun as fluff n sillies is with these two i am also an enormous fan of reaper being absolutely Not Normal after thinking geno just disappeared without a trace - stalking error with all the relentlessness of a primordial deity who’s done losing things it dared to let itself care about

[dirts-wormbin]

i do requests for my wifey @hollowedoutroot as a priority. rootquests, if you will ;) WE LOVE THESE TWO MALADUSTED TERRIBLE IDIOTS RAHHH!!!!!!!!!

[dirts-wormbin]

aw dang i forgot this one! i still really like it. rebd......
