[ID: a Deltarune comic. Susie and Kris stare at the locked shelter, with Susie sighing. Then a light bulb lights up over her head.Susie exclaims: "Kris, I got an idea!" while the "Susie's idea" act box pops up over Kris's head. Susie rummages through her pocket, and pulls out the Joker card. She sticks out her tongue in concentration, sliding it through the crack in the bunker doors, and Kris thinks: "shit." Cartoon fighting noises, dust clouds, and lighting bolts emerge from the locked shelter, as Susie cheers: "Fuck 'em up, Jevil!" Jevil is shouting "Chaos, chaos!" "I can do anything!" and "bye-bye!" Meanwhile, Kris has a cartoonishly large frown on their face as they get a phone call, with the caller shouting: "Kris who the hell is this." End ID.]

What exactly is this AU about?
Twin Runes is essentially a comedic crossover AU between the universes of Deltarune and Undertale. No fancy nicnacs. Just the characters being their chaotic selves. But there might be some darkness lurking up ahead...
____________________
When is the next comic?
The comic updates most Sundays at 6:30 PM Central European Time.
____________________
Why is this AU called Twin Runes?
The name is more or less a play on the typical naming format of most AU's by featuring the "Runes" part. There are no literal Twin Runes. The whole name is more of a stand in for Undertale and Deltarune as parallel worlds. Hence the "Twin" part.
____________________
When does Twin Runes take place?
This AU takes place between a hypothetical Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of Deltarune. On the Undertale side of things, it takes place post neutral route just as Frisk was about to deliver Undyne's letter to Alphys.
How many pages are there going to be?
The script for this comic estimates that the comic is going to be 137 pages long (if I don't make any major changes).
____________________
What software do you use to make your art/the comic?
I use Clip Studio Paint.
____________________
Is the Player a thing in this AU?
The Player(s) lost control over both human children as soon as Frisk entered the world of Deltarune. Essentially, the reader takes on the role of the Player. You have no influence on the outcome of the story anymore. All you can do is watch.
Both Kris and Frisk refer to the Player as "It" and "the THING".
____________________
Is there going to be a Weird Route?
Due to the lack of Player, all choices made by Kris are now their own. How to engage in battle all depends on Kris, and not the Player. Because of that, there are NO DIFFERENT ROUTES. There is only one route and that one is based on Kris' choices.
Because of the lack of save points, there is no "what-if" scenario.
____________________
When Chapter 3 and 4 are released, will it affect the story?
Any chapters after Chapter 3 won't affect the story in the grand scheme of things. Twin Runes created a new timeline so to speak.
UPDATE: We are nearing the final arc of the story. The script has been long completed and is set in stone. Even with Chapter 3 and 4's release there is no way for me to incorporate anything from Chapter 3 (read the rest of the FAQ) into the story without making a mess of things. Yes, that also includes your favorite character Pluey.
UPDATE OF THE UPDATE:
Since Twin Runes was created before Chapters 3 and 4, there are bound to be inconsistencies going forward!Luckily, this is an AU, and I designed it to be purposefully off in some parts because I knew I would inevitably be wrong!!!!
So no. There won't be any references to Chapter 3 in the comic going forward (since the story takes place between a hypothetical Chapter 3 and 4 [so not the canon ones]) And it won't be moved downwards the timeline.
____________________
How old are the characters in this story?
Frisk appears to be around 9 years old.
Kris thinks they're 14. (Both Frisk and Kris don't know their actual age.)
Chara died when they were around 10-11.
Susie is around 15-16 (she was held back once)
Ralsei appears to be the same age as Kris.
____________________
What's up with Kris' and Frisk's hair?
The red bits of their hair is more or less a representation of their souls. That in turn is also why Chara doesn't have that feature. They are soulless. It's a stylistic choice.
____________________
What's that thing on Kris' chest?
It's a scar they got from tearing out their soul.
And why do they have weird lines all over their body?
Both Kris and Frisk's anatomy resemble that of ball-jointed dolls. They appear just as markings across their bodies. Think of them as elaborate birthmarks. Kris and Frisk are still made of flesh and blood, but are in fact hypermobile. The reason as to why they do is still a little secret :)
People here like to refer to these markings as "puppet limbs".
You can get a better look at them and the scar in this artwork
Why does Kris have braces?
This is why:
Drastic measures.
Toriel lasted a week after Kris picked the cone. Then she dragged them to the dentist anyways.
Are old art, comics and asks from your blog part of Twin Runes?
Unless stated otherwise, all art that was made prior to the start of the comic are not canon to Twin Runes. That mainly includes the old asks.

Why is Dark World Frisk green?
Frisk changes their main sweater colors with Kris when they enter the Dark World.
Could other ghosts see Chara? (pre Darkner transformation)
No, only Frisk and Kris were able to see Chara.

IS KRIS NOW FRISK'S COUNTERPART OR CHARA'S????
:)
____________________
Where are Jevil and Spamton? Are they in Castle Town?
The Fun Gang have already fought these two in the previous chapters and added them into their inventory. Outside of that little dream sequence, neither will be making an appearance.
____________________
Is anyone from Undertale Yellow gonna make an apperance?
Outside of a tiny cameo from Clover (that has no greater bearing on the story) no one from Undertale Yellow is going to make an appearance.
____________________
How would the characters from Deltarune react if they met their Undertale counterpart?
The universe would implode if that happens.
____________________
But what abou-
The. Universe. Would. Implode.
Next question!

How did you come up with the idea of Twin Runes?
Twin Runes is an offshoot of a separate script I started in 2023. The concept of this script is similar to Twin Runes, but turned on its head. The funny moments in that script made me continue what now is the start of Twin Runes. I pretty much just wanted to see if I am actually capable of drawing a comic to begin with. So... in a way Twin Runes is my first attempt at a comic ever. If I ever finish Twin Runes, then I know I can tackle turning that mammoth project of a script into a comic too.
In the grand scheme of things these two projects are sister series. They have A LOT in common and even share similar plot elements. When Twin Runes is over you will automatically also know certain mysteries of The Other Script.
____________________
What is The Other Script?
As of this moment I call The Other Script: "Lost in the In-Between". At its core it's an inverse of Twin Runes. I.e. Kris falling into the underground and being aided by Frisk on their quest to return home. The story is considerably more grounded than Twin Runes and so are the characters. Though they do have their silly moments from time to time. The overall mood of that script is a lot darker in nature and it's a 200+ page passion project of mine.
The script OF The Other Script is not open to the public. Only a select few people have access to it for proof reading.
____________________
Is there x ship in Twin Runes?
The focus of this story is not on shipping. If it's in the game it will very likely be mentioned or brought up, but that's about it.
____________________
What pronouns do the human children use in this story?
THEY/THEM FOR ALL OF THEM WITHOUT ANY EXCEPTIONS.
That is what they are in this story. This is not open to interpretation. Please respect that.
If this is a dealbreaker for you, then unfortunately this story is not for you.
Am I allowed to make fanart?
ABSOLUTELY! You are very welcome to make fanart if you feel like it. Please let me know if you do by tagging me, so I can share it with everyone to see so that you get the appreciation you deserve!
____________________
Can I use the funny faces you draw for memes or for stuff like memes or for profile pictures?
That's what they're here for!
____________________
Am I allowed to translate the comic and post the translation to a different site?
I get asked very often by people who want to translate my comic in different languages, so it's quite hard for me to keep up with who asked for permission or not. This is why the comic is free to translate if you like. All I ask is that you are well-versed in the language you're translating it into and to please link the original work with the proper credit given.
------------------------
Am I allowed to dub your comic?
See the point above. You are free to dub the comic if you like. The same simple rules apply. With ONE important rule you NEED to adhere to...
-----------------------
If I create content off your comic (dubbing, translations, etc...), am I allowed to monetize it?
NO.
Everything about Twin Runes is NON-PROFIT. Meaning that I don't make any money off this comic either, as it is purely fan content. If I see people making money off my work, I WILL use my right to ask you to remove it.
Asks will open after a new comic has been released. I will queue the questions from Monday until Friday. Once the queue is full, asks will close. Your questions will then be answered over the course of the week.
Try not to submit multiple asks. If necessary, just keep everything in one post.
Keep in mind that I receive AL LOT of asks. There is no guarantee that every question will be answered.
Questions containing spoilers will not be answered on principle. Wouldn't be as fun if the surprise was ruined, right?
Before leaving an ask (mostly for everyone who's new), please make sure to read the FAQ section above. A lot of times your question might have been answered already.
I love memes and dumb jokes as much as the next guy, but try not to spam
It probably goes without saying, but please stay civil. I want to give everyone the respect they deserve, and naturally like to be treated the same way.
Please be mindful about drawing requests. It is understandable if you're eager to see a certain character drawn in my style, but I do not like to be bombarded by requests. The more it happens, the less likely I am to do it. Be kind and ask nicely.
I don't take unsolicited comic ideas.
Don't use other people's posts that I reblogged to ask me questions! It has happened before and I do not wish to see this!
This isn't an ask blog. The comic has a script that will not deviate. Reader interaction with the characters won't be possible due to the overall "no Player" subplot.
Please do not ask me to put your characters into the story. Like I said, the script is already finished and I'm quite happy with it. Your characters are in better hands with yourself and your own stories. Please have respect for mine.
The following are ref sheets of characters that don't have established Dark World forms yet (as of writing this comic). The list will be updated as soon as a new character enters the Dark World.
Here you will also find references of characters that might appear as surprise cameos, or maybe even completely new faces...
