So was rewatching Othertale: Before the Hack (part 1) a few days ago and posting about it, which you can find here, and i was taking notes as i did.

You can also find the link to my analysis of the [caring] animation here, and my analysis of the [experiment] animation here and here.

And happy 9th birthday to both Othertale, and Color Sans!

“Undyne, or Ivory, comes from an AU called Othertale. She can play piano and has a nice sense of music, but can’t sing. She’s much weaker than her Undertale counterpart.

In this AU, Sans never existed (aside from a mysterious sock in the house that Undyne and Papyrus eventually move in to.)

And instead, Undyne—an orphaned street kid blind in one eye with her red hair in a braid—starts looking after an even younger orphaned kid named Papyrus from bullies and thieves. Before eventually, the two decide to stick together as siblings.

Due to being more focused on looking after and raising Papyrus, Undyne does not have any goals to join the Royal Guard or free the Underground or capture any humans.

She cares more about her little brother than anything, and even uses piano skills to eventually become something of a celebrity for the Underground while Papyrus goes on to become a math teacher.

Othertale Undyne grows up in a universe where Sans doesn’t exist, Papyrus is her younger adoptive brother, and she had to work to keep herself and her brother alive.

Using her skills in piano playing to perform concerts, she earns enough to get herself and her brother off the streets.

She seems to take this very seriously, such as being nervous and not sleeping, staying up all night practicing. Especially since she’s become so well know that even King Asgore and Gerson Head of the Royal Guard would be there.

Neither she nor Papyrus have plans to join the Royal Guard, so Gerson is still the captain of the Royal Guard.

Neither Papyrus nor Undyne have any official training, although Undyne and the Royal Scientist Alphys are still love interests—with Alpyhs being Papyrus’ Undernet friend, and appearing to have a celebrity crush on Undyne—even giving her a gift for her big concert.

Because the six human souls also don’t exist in Othertale, breaking the barrier isn’t possible. Mettaton operates more like a living weapon than a star, and the amalgamates don’t exist either. Although Flowey still does.

In the present day of Othertale, many monsters have mysteriously been going missing; with the King himself having to speak on the issue.

It is unclear if Undyne is any concerned about this, given how she readily goes on walks alone with Alphys and was eager to explore an abandoned sentry station that showed up out of nowhere when she heard someone calling her name from it.

One day, however, Undyne is lured into the Void through a sentry station; she hears someone calling her name but no one else can hear it. She decides to immediately go exploring because she wants to have fun. She is rather pushy when Alphys is too scared to go in and explore, but ultimately doesn’t force the other woman to go in.

But inside she is confronted by Gaster and Sans/Color!Sans. She doesn’t understand what’s going on, but is knocked out by a magic fueled punch by Color that transfers some of Color’s “soul power” into her, which opened Undyne’s “blind eye.”

Ivory is not afraid to defend herself; not hesitant at all to summon one of her spears and point it at Gaster when he advances on her, warning him to stay back or else she will hurt him. Although she only does this when he attempts to make a move towards her.

She seems very very nervous about her concert, and she doesn’t seem to have been ready for the level of attention and popularity her skills brought her.

Due to her magic eye that Color unlocked, she seems able to immediately tell if there’s danger nearby; like a warning, perhaps from Color himself. She seems to trust her instincts a lot, immediately ditching her big concert and audience to follow her gut and run straight into danger.

When she finds Alphys injured, she’s furious and fiercely protective; demanding to know who did it in a low growling tone.

Once making sure Alphys is okay, her immediate concern after is her brother and his safety. But rather than immediately running off and abandoning Alphys, she expresses this to her—and after getting reassurance that the other woman is okay and understands, she gives Alphys a tight hug before running off after Papyrus.

As soon as she finds and protects Papyrus, she orders her brother to run and get help while she fights off against the other monster attacking him on her own.

She’s able to shortcut a lot like Sans is able to now. Her eye glows like Sans’ did, only yellow this time. Her fish ears/gills pin back when she’s scared.

When she gains her second form, her hair is chopped off to what appears to be about ear length. Her spears are stronger and longer, and she has her own Gaster Blasters.

She dresses like an Underfell Undyne in this form—and she wears a heart shaped golden necklace with the letter “f” on it.

We don’t know where she got it, what it means, who it came from—but it was said to be a gift from someone.”

^ the images I am referring to. (All art by superyoumna.)

This part is in reference to the [experiment] short, and the brother & sister comic.

Before Gaster jumped into the Core and Sans was forgotten in the Void to create Othertale, back when the universe was still Undertale—this universe seems to subscribe to the idea that both Sans and Undyne’s magical eyes were due to experiments by Dr. Gaster.

Sans says that Dr. Gaster made a mistake when giving him his eye, that it made Sans’ body extremely unstable and fragile—and possibly more, although Sans doesn’t seem to hold it against Gaster even when Gaster holds it against himself.

Sans reassures Undyne that Gaster won’t make that same mistake with her, but when the experiment finally works and Undyne is able to see from her fake eye, Gaster immediately tells Sans to remove the soul energy or it would damage Undyne’s body.

Undyne during this flashback seems to be around 5, while Papyrus is at most 1-2, and Sans seems to be in his late teens to early 20s. When Sans is pulled into the Void and the world is rewritten to forget Sans and make Othertale, Ivory’s eye is blind again and later needs to be reactivated by Color transferring his soul energy back to her.

All a part of Color and Shade’s plan to empower Ivory with knowledge and power so she can fight against the impending threat, since Color and Shade cannot leave the Void without the risk of dying.

Despite how Ivory and Shade’s meeting in Othertale’s Void is confronting and wary, in the past, child Undyne seemed to find comfort in Gaster and trusted him a lot—such as wanting him to share in her happiness, being worried about him when he leaves in frustration, and saying that the lab is spooky without him around.

As a child after Sans is forgotten, however, it appears little Ivory met little Sage sometime after an event just referred to as “the explosion.” And ever since then, Sage only ever sought Ivory out whenever the other children would steal from and bully him—and Ivory would beat up the bullies for him and get his stuff back.

One day, while searching for a rubix cube in the garbage dumps, a frantic and crying Sage runs up to Ivory to tell her that the others kids stole his toy car.

Ivory notes that he only ever comes to her when he needs protection. Sage immediately apologizes for this, but Ivory quickly corrects herself as that wasn’t what she meant—this is the moment where Ivory proposes that Sage stick with her instead of surviving on his own.

Sage is reluctant to accept because even though they are friends, they are still strangers. In answer to this, Ivory gives Sage her rubix cube and loudly states that they are neither friends nor strangers—instead they are siblings.

Sage immediately gets excited by this idea, and the two proudly and loudly declare that they are siblings—and Sage promises to always look up to her and support her as his big sister and as the “great Papyrus!”

OTHERTALE SCRIPTS:

Here is the full ao3 series.

Here is the script for Othertale: Before the Hack. {You can find the official, finished, animated version on this blog—and some of the content seems to be in the comics, which you can also find on this blog.}

Here is three scripts from Othertale Shorts, including pre-canon stuff.

Two of the chapters involve content from the Brother and Sister comic that superyoumna made, and one from the Experiment short—both of which you can find on this blog.

[othertalearchive]

Othertale Asks

(This is not all the asks, just the ones I thought were important, funny, or relevant. More could possibly be added if I find any.)

OTHERTALE:

English isn’t youmna’s first language, she’s from Egypt.

Is Othertale Youmna’s story, or did someone else write it?

Is Othertale a comic that’s already out, or is it just going to be videos?

Caring Short is an extra scene.

When are you going to update Othertale?

Othertale is an alternate timeline, NOT an alternate universe.

Othertale is an AT, not an AU. There is no 7th soul. Sans is forgotten but not in Gaster’s position. And what funeral?

What did pre-core Gaster look like?

Refs for Othertale Chara & Frisk?

What kind of personality does othertale Frisk have?

Frisk doesn’t exist anymore.

Frisk was supposed to have a great role even though they no longer exist like Sans doesn’t.

Does Flowey exist, if the six souls don’t?

Who created Flowey in this timeline, Gaster or Alphys?

Chara falling down and Asriel’s creation into Flowey still happened.

Othertale monsters can’t break the barrier, but they still have hope.

Does Papyrus know he has a brother, does anyone know about Sans?

Where did Youmna get the idea for Othertale?

Is there a swap AU to othertale?

Is Othertale an animation? Comic?

Differences in Othertale vs Undertale bc of Sans & the souls erasure.

Othertale focuses on everyone.

After the Hack means season 2.

Who’s stronger: Othertale or Undertale Toriel, Asgore, and Flowey? Othertale MTT is stronger than Undertale MTT because he got his body earlier, Alphys main research was to turn monster souls into weapons since the human souls don’t exist, meaning MTT is more of a weapon than a famous star.

Corrupted!Chara.

Amalgamates don’t exist in Othertale.

Do Gaster, Chara, and Frisk exist?

Are there royal guards in Othertale?

Alphyne is canon, Soriel is not, Chara and Asriel happen as usual though youmna cannot say what happened after Chara and Asriel died.

Are Asgore and Toriel still married?

Is it okay to create an alternative version of Othertale?:

Dreemurr’s designs never changed from Undertale.

COLOR & THE SOULS:

Are the souls like MPD/DID for Color?

Color is stronger than Killer and Murder, Error will cause him problems.

Color’s views on canon NM according to rahafwabas: he hurt a lot of people, innocent people and aus, he hurt Killer the most, nightmare doesn’t deserve mercy.

Color is sure Killer will choose a new name someday, but thinks he just needs time. (Also canonically calls him buddy. :] )

Both Gaster and Sans are forgotten.

Are there hints in the Underground that Sans existed?

Like a mysterious sock?

Anyone can do what they want with Color.

Sans only has control over the game from the Void, which is how Undyne got out.

Did he die?

Color gets his name. (+ possible old peek of his soul.)

Color doesn’t like the idea of being shipped with someone he doesn’t know.

Bro doesn’t like the joke.

Explosive flames when he sneezes.

Color, Geno, & Seraphim as Pokemon evolution.

Flames take on longer colors when he has a characteristic trait.

Color’s okay with being a 2nd favorite.

Heya Color!

Is Gaster with you, C? (First use of C as a nickname)

C still loves ketchup.

Color prefers the Patience trait/soul because he cannot control his feelings and Patience calms him down.

Color is sad and looks sad all the time because Papyrus doesn’t remember him.

After absorbing the souls, does Sans feel different? He regrets what he did, and wishes he hadn’t, he misses the good old days at Grillby’s. He can still eat and sleep, but there is no time in the Void, no food, but hunger cues seem to have been taken away as well. He can’t really do anything but sleep anymore. Color has the ability to heal just about anything, except for the dead.

Does Color get headaches when looking at himself too long in the mirror?

Can I get a hug from Color!Sans?

Color!Sans 2C.

Why didn’t Sans get Gaster out? Why isn’t Gaster out yet?

UNDYNE & PAPYRUS:

How did she get the ability to teleport?

Undyne & Papyrus are siblings, Sans in the Void.

Undyne is Paps’ sister, is more responsible, and did not join the royal guard.

In the Royal Guard armor in trailer, didn’t join the Royal Guard.

Undyne would not be stronger than Color, though she has a portion of his powers.

Who is the big sibling?

How did Undyne get Determination?

Undyne can use Gaster Blasters.

Undyne’s “f” heart locket.

Does Papyrus have a necklace that says “best”?

Drawing of Undyne saying thank you.

Undyne drawing.

Are After the Hack Undyne’s stats the same, weaker than, or stronger than Undyne the Undying’s?

After the Hack Undyne is 3x stronger than Undyne the Undying.

Undyne has an important role in Othertale.

Undyne 1A.

Othertale Papyrus is weaker than Undertale Papyrus, he doesn’t have royal guard training and never aspired to join. Sage is nice and kind, but he works as a math teacher as he likes problem solving and children.

Since Papyrus doesn’t want to join the Royal Guard, what does he do? Does he have a job?

Undyne is youmna’s fav character.

Undyne reminds of the Underfell AU itself.

ATH Undyne looks like Underfell Undyne’s design.

How old are Undyne and Papyrus?

Undyne & Papyrus animation short sneak peek.

Undyne still likes anime and manga. She spends every weekend at home with Papyrus, waiting for Alphys to come over with a new anime.

Are the Gaster Blasters a special attack, or just a slightly more powerful regular attack?

1C Undyne.

Othertale meets Undertale Undyne. Ivory thinks lifting rocks is irresponsible and would never do that, is highly protective of Papyrus and describes him as the only person she cares about in this world. She can play piano, she cooks for her and Papyrus, and she and Papyrus watch the MTT show together.

Ivory would not like Undertale Undyne or troublemakers. Ivory is a lot more careful and cautious with new people.

Papyrus & Undyne live in the same house, in Snowdin.

What happened to Undyne’s parents? Did she have parents? Did they die?

HER:

Smiley face can be attributed to anyone, not just Chara.

Error!Undyne?

Have we met her in classic Undertale?

Is she Core!Frisk?

She could be the Player.

She is not Undyne or Chara.

She just wants fun.

Is she a specific person with a name?

She is the Player.

[othertalearchive]

Othertale and its characters, story, osts, drawings and animations belong to superyoumna. Every other au character not in Othertale belong to their respective creators.

Here is a link to masterpost, and here is a link to the Google doc I made.

Not everything here, such as the sans hazard comics, epic sanses, and the abyss team, is strictly canon to Othertale or Color/Gaster, but why not put it in?

Things are not reblogged in order or anything, it’s just sorted via tags which i sometimes probably forgot. Anything reblogged here for awhile is probably queued, and i won’t go through and sort anything until the queue is empty.

Tags to look into so far:

#asks, #drawing, #color!sans, #void colleagues, #fishbones siblings, #skelebros, #shade!gaster, #core!frisk, #0thertale c0mics.

#animation, #music, #video, #core!frisk, #caring short, #experiment short, #masterpost, #six human souls, #color spectrum duo, #epic sanses, #abyss team, #ivory!undyne.

#sage!papyrus, #the tale starts here, #bth, #bth2, #it’s not over yet, #so many questions, #reference, #*what’s a star?, and #sans hazard.

Other Tags:

#archivist answers: I, the creator of this blog but not the AU, answer related or unrelated asks.

#archivist thoughts: posts or asks where I give my own personal opinion on something.

[howlsofbloodhounds]

Tomorrow is Othertale and Color’s fan decided birthday. September 16th is when the comics first came out.

Ivory’s, aka Othertale Undyne’s, birthday is September 27th. The day the Othertale: Before the Hack (part 1) animation came out.

Sage’s, aka Othertale Papyrus’, birthday is March 13th. This is the day the full reference sheet for the full Othertale va cast dropped, and also it’s on a 13th—which leads to Gaster’s.

Shade’s, aka Othertale Gaster’s, birthday is October 13th. This is the day superyoumna made a headcanon about Gaster being a creepy floating head, and tagged it #othertale. Also October is a the spooky month which is fitting for Shade.

Amber, which has been the decided nickname for Othertale Alphys, has been given September 17th or 19th, since her other first appearances—September 16th and March 13th—are already taken.
