FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What is this AU?? A: This is a lighthearted AU where all the Darkners are Lightners and live in Hometown! This AU is meant to have as close a vibe to the Undertale True Ending Montage as possible. This AU is character-driven over a narrative-driven one, like the game.

Q: Is this AU about Spamtenna? A: YES! The main focus of the AU is on Spamtenna and Susie. Tenna is Susie's adoptive father. Tenna and Susie have moved to Hometown, and the exes finally cross paths after 15 years of no contact. They rekindle their friendship and romance through the influence of their kid(s).

Q: Why is it called "Hometown Dads"? A: Because "All The Darkners Are Lightners And Tenna Is Susie's Dad And Also The World Isn't Actively Ending" was too long. Also, it's accurate. They're all in Hometown. Tenna's a dad. That's about it. Send tweet.

Q: Can I make fanart/fanfiction of this AU? Can I tag you? A: Yes, please make things and tag me if you do! I love seeing and reading people's takes on this silly little universe. Just make sure to credit the origins of the AU if you post it somewhere, so people know where to find the masterpost :)

I MADE A NEW SPRITE FOR HTD TENNA (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+

This is by far my favourite tenna sprite, and I'm so happy how it turned out,

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE

The flower (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+ HTD Tenna probably doesn't actually grow the flower but I love the visual

BONUSES!!!

Gaster wiggle

And the bloom animation

(i didn't know how to use links last time LOLOL mbmb)

I'm really proud how all these turned out, they look so good 😍

I recommend everyone take a look at @everbough 's stuff, cuz this au was made by her. Here's the link to the master post of the au

[everbough]

I tried making some sprites of HTD Tenna cuz I haven't seen anyone else do it yet :P

Here's a hug with Susie(i somehow forgot his gaster in this one but now I'm too lazy to change it)

I would've made some more expressive sprites but here's what I have for now. I haven't made any pixel art in years so I hope y'all like it

this au was made by @everbough, master post is under the cut

AAAAAA LOOK AT HIM YAP 🤩

these are so freaking cute, I’m losing my entire shit. you translated him so well!!! and the hug? gosh….i love them so much. I’m going to look at these for the next 200 hours.

[everbough]

hi hello!! this is going to be so out of nowhere but I've just been doing a re-read of Endurance and I was wondering if I would make a podfic of it and some of the related stories? I always like to ask before I make them but didn't know if you'd see with the fics being years old hehe

Ooooh! A podfic would be sick! Yeah, you have my consent for that! Just make sure to credit the story :)

Can you send me the link when it's done so I can listen? :)

[everbough]

I have got the most random thought for you also hi :D

Basically just the hometown dads au but dark worlds exist, and in the newer locations of hometown

The reason I thought of this was because I had the thought of HTD tenna encountering something eerily similar to canon tenna if a dark world were to end up at his place

Also, we need Susie and Lancer absolutely eating log salsa next chapter

Oh, I have thought about this SO MUCH!!

It’s basically an AU of the AU, where the plot of Deltarune happens in HTD Hometown, and there’s an all new arrangement of Darkners.

Ralsei is a Lightner, but his parents research Dark Worlds, which is how he knows how they work. This turns him from a Prince of the Dark to a Scribe of the Dark.

Chapter’s 1 & 2

Chapter 1’s Dark World would be the antique store that’s run by Seam. Seam is still a shopkeeper and they’re aware of Dark Worlds, so their dialogue is almost exactly the same. Darkners are then made up of antiques there. The theme of the chapter would be revisiting old memories and nostalgia.

Chapter 2’s Dark World takes place in the craft store. Chet (my Darkner OC) is the lightner shopkeeper there and thinks she’s just having a wild dream. Everyone is made of art supplies! The theme is finding your creative voice and using art to help you process feelings/grief.

Chapter 3

Chapter 3’s TV world is almost exactly the same. The difference is that it isn’t Kris’ TV—it’s Tenna’s in his basement, where allllllll of his TV Time memorabilia is.

Tenna AND Spamton fall into the Dark World after the trio and they become the grand prize instead of Toriel. TV World Tenna is basically just canon Tenna, with the difference being that a Big Shot version of Ch2 Spamton is cohosting.

HTD Tenna is confronted with his past mistakes and inability to let go with TV Tenna. They do NOT get along at all and it causes a big blow up that honestly was probably good catharsis for HTD Tenna. Spamton is also getting ire from his Darkner self AND TV Tenna, which causes some dramaaaaa.

The adventure progresses as normal. HTD Tenna and Spamton wake up thinking it was a dream. TV Tenna gets donated to the school.

The theme is about change, both positive and negative.

Chapter 4

At the beginning of Chapter 4, HTD Gerson passes away. Susie cannot accept this. Chapter 4 still occurs in the church and Gerson’s Dark form appears as a ghost because his coffin is still in the cathedral (woof). The theme is then about grief and accepting loss, as Susie gets a chance to say goodbye to Gerson and have a final conversation with him, whilst going through the five stages across the course of the adventure.

Can’t speak on the salsa log, but there will be salsa! ;)

Hi! I wanted to asked you a question real quick question about you hometown dads AU design of spamton. In his ref sheet you have "taloned feet" im redesigning my Nikia from this AU and wanted to incorporate more of her other father into her design. I have a couple of refs (credits to the artist of these they're not mine just found them on Google) but I wasn't sure which one you thought best suited him.

Hiya! The first one is more accurate! :)

[everbough]

almost done with classes and then I can finally FINALLY get the other half of chapter 4 done. Summer is gonna be fic-filled 🎉

Hear me out: Tenna does ceramics, but Spamton paints them and every one looks gorgeous.

In theory, absolutely! But Spamton does not understand how the glazes work, and painted them the wrong color.

Tried to make a bunch of cups big shot red, they turned out blue with speckles. Cue confusion and anger at chemistry.

[everbough]

some doodles I had buried in my wips folder of that pottery Tenna idea.

i like the idea that "apron-wearing older husband" was less baking and more that Tenna took up a messy hobby like ceramics as art therapy. Spamton then takes it as a chance to do a new money scheme and becomes his spokesperson because Tenna doesn't have the confidence to do it himself. funny antics ensue.

[everbough]

loved their interaction in chapter 2, i hope they will dig holes and eat salsa together:)

OH THEYRE SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! 💙💙💙

look at the little king and tenna in the corners, oh my heart. this is wonderful!!!! ;;o;;
