Hiii! Your blog has been inactive for awhile but I hope that you see this.. I really enjoy your UNDERBEATS AU!
I want to possibly make an animation of it so I just wanted to ask some clarifying questions to make sure I have all the lore straight:
1. All of the monsters in the underground are Monsters of Sound right? Looking at the example of their souls, do they all have seeds in them and thatās why when they dust they turn into echo-flowers?
2. Are the types of seeds in the monsters of sound souls different? If so, what plants are beats and nico? And what do their souls look like?
3. Kin has a really cool brotherly bond with Beats, so I was wondering how holidays worked. I saw in another post that (I believe it was maestro) and Beats are kind of aware of eachother leaving their AU, so itās clear that Beatās family dont know who Kin is, does Beatās split their holdidays and time between Kin and their family?
4. As for guardian beats and enlightenment, and the story of underbeats as a whole, does that happen canonically in the story over time where they succeed muffets role? Or is that just a what if scenario.
5. Assuming Underbeats has a similar play through with the human like Undertale, is Beats the royal judge? And fights in the last corridor? Knowing Beats shy and timid nature Im just wondering if they even would try to confront the human, even if they killed Nico. I know Beatās has a hammer, but it seems really rare that they would use it and that seems like the only time weād ever see beatās in combat.
6. Is Beats still a child when the final human falls into the underground? Im curious of how Beats would reach enlightenment in the timeline of the story, and the timeline of events in general.
Sorry for asking so many questions! I love the concept of the AU and really want to know more about it,
Wow, such detailed questions, Fox is so flattered that you took interest in Underbeats however inactive Fox might have been for awhile.
But let's answer your questions one by one as best as Fox can~
Yes~ They all have seeds inside their souls, It's more accurate to say that the seed cores are their souls. The encasing they have that resemble an upside down heart is just an adaption to 'fit into the roles' within the alternate world. Since Underbeats and the other AU's are connected to the original which is Undertale.
They are similar bit also different, akin to a fingerprint. The colors of their powers differ from each other as well. So it's safe to say that Nico and Beats' soul would look a lot like Maestro's since they are also related to them.
Oh, for this one I believe Maestro and Nico are aware of Kin but not exactly where they came from. Beats has already introduced them to their family so when the chance do come, Beats would probably spend their holiday with their family along with Kin if they're available.
It's canon that Beats will take up the mantle from Muffet in the future one way or another. Muffet says it's pre-ordained. All paths lead to it... unless something happens to Beats before that time comes? DUN DUN DUN!!!!~
If it plays out just like in Undertale, yes, Beats will still be the one that confronts you in the last corridor. If Fox can understand that you are talking about a genocide run, Beats has more reason to stop you. They will be completely grief-stricken and be in disbelief that even with how much compassion and kindness was shown you still chose to cause harm. After all, the 'monsters' in Underbeats are all kind people. One would be bound to be confused of your actions. Therefore, even if Beats is reluctant they will wield their hammer and try to put a stop to such horrifying violence.
Beats will still be quite young when the 'final' human falls into the Underground. The course of the story for the human will have already come to pass before Beats would become the next Guardian.
Fox notes: The story of Underbeats is a little different, Fox already have a clear direction on how it will play out but never really had the time to fully realize it in a series. Fox will have to find time to start it once life becomes a bit more stable and have enough time to focus on it soon. Fox can only apologize that Fox haven't even started and fails to share the whole story of Underbeats with everyone.
As for you, dear Asker, if you really plan to put Underbeats into an amination, go all for it. You are welcome and Fox is very glad that even when Fox has had a very long hiatus, it still garners a bit of interest. Fox sincerely thanks you from the bottom of my heart.
