*The wind is howling.

An Undertale AU, now being reworked | made by @pair-of-doxes | asks are open!

[judgementale]

Hello and welcome to Judgementale!

Judgementale is a mix of a collection of headcanons that I have about Undertale and its characters, as well as its own story.

This AU of mine serves to fill in the blanks regarding the backstories of certain characters, their relationships and how their lives would look like if Frisk had fallen 3 years later than they did in Undertale. So it addresses both the past and the future.

It primarily follows Sans and Papyrus as they're arguably the most mysterious ones, but they're not the only focus here.

The goal of Judgementale is to share my headcanons about what I think the answers to questions like "How did Sans become judge in the first place?" Or "Why did the skelebros move to Snowdin?"

But also just how the cast would sort and figure out their issues in Frisk's absence throughout those 3 years. What if Frisk wasn't a necessary part in fixing everything, you know?

Oh, also, Flowey has lost his control over the timeline in this.

I love worldbuilding and theorycrafting, which is why this blog and AU came to be. None of this is canon to Undertale, it's just my own interpretation.

That being said, I'll be posting both art and concepts on this blog.

Dudeeeee this looks so freakin cool!! Can’t wait to see more!!

Thank you so much! I have a lot in store for this since I've been thinking about this AU for years now, and I'm finally going to do something with it!

Some facts about Sans:

He was forced to wear something more professional by Papyrus once he shared the news of his newest employment since he was going to be Asgore's assistant.

The reason behind the change in jobs is because of the fact that a royal judge just isn't very high in demand in the underground. The local authorities handle most cases fine and monsters are pretty peaceful.

And since it's been several decades since the last human sighting (very few monsters alive in the underground know how a human looks like), it was high time for a better gig.

My headcanon is that Asgore is dyslexic (Dreemurr being a misspelling of the word "Dreamer" being the primary reason) and Comic Sans is famously dyslexic friendly. Hence why he was hired and not somebody else.

(Explanations for my thought process below:)

I've always had a gripe with how nobody (as far as I know) has done anything with Sans' position as judge for things *other* than checking/punishing humans or monsters for killing.

What if it was a normal job? What if it was a position that he had to apply for? Who would've been the previous judges? How did he learn the things he knows?

So I've made a point to answer those questions myself, which is where the original concept of the AU (and the name of it) came to be. It's expanded a lot since, but Judge!Sans is still a central part, even if he doesn't work as one anymore.
