DESCENTALE UPDATE!

Yes, it’s been months... once again... but the latest chapter is finally here!

CHAPTER FOUR OF DESCENTALE (or Five, according to AO3) IS RIGHT HERE!

I hope I haven’t kept you all waiting too long. This is the chapter where Asgore finally shows up! And... so does someone else we know, for that matter.

This chapter is a few pages longer than the previous one, so I hope that sort of makes up for lost time. Enjoy!

Much love,

The Author

If my Undertale OCs were in the PTA AU... take 2? 3? Whatever.

Linda: Why, Emily, I had no idea you were autistic!

Emily: Um... yeah! I’m... surprised you didn’t know already.

Linda: Uh-huh... must be very difficult to be a single parent when you have that condition.

Emily: Uh... well... it has its... challenges, yes... *is getting uncomfortable*

Linda: I just feel a bit sorry for your daughter, Patricia. Her father’s absence must be taking a toll on her.

Emily: *is REALLY uncomfortable now* Y-yeah... she... she does miss him a lot...

Linda: Although, I have noticed how close you two have gotten towards Asgore Dreemurr.

Emily: *brightens up* Oh, yes! He’s a wonderful man. He’s such a good friend to me, and Pat really looks up to him. He’s practically a part of our family!

Linda: Ah... well, of course someone like you would think a monster is a perfectly good addition to a human family.

Emily: ... Excuse me? What do you mean by that?

Linda: Emily, think about it. You’re an autistic single mother. You must be desperate for companionship, and even more so for a new father figure for Patricia. Of course you’d let a monster into your life to fulfill those purposes.

Emily: *raises an eyebrow* ... What.

Linda: Honestly, if you think Asgore’s royal title makes it perfectly acceptable to use a monster as a substitute for your ex-husband, perhaps you are unfit to be a mother, let alone a member of the PTA.

Emily: ... *eye twitches*

Emily: *summons her magic and casts AN UNAVOIDABLE BULLET HELLSTORM at Linda*

Linda: *SCREAMS and runs away*

Emily: *chasing Linda* FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU--!!

Sans: *who has been watching all of this from afar* huh. so that’s what happens you make a magician angry. good to know.

Asgore: Uh, shouldn’t we be stopping this?

Patricia: *recording with her phone* No, no, not yet! I need at least twenty more seconds of this sweet, sweet justice!

THIS BLOG IS NOT DEAD! ALSO, NEWS!

So... as you’ve probably guess, the comic idea didn’t work out. But I have good news...

DESCENTALE HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH CHAPTER THREE!

ALSO, THE PREVIOUS CHAPTERS WERE EDITED SLIGHTLY! YAY!

I am so sorry for all the silence. I wish I had a better work ethic. I wish I took better care of myself so that I wouldn’t be too tired to actually get things done. I wish I had said something, anything, to indicate what’s been happening behind the scenes.

I don’t know what to say or do except try my best to keep going. It’s not easy to write fanfiction when you’re as all over the place as I am.

I am already starting work on Chapter Four, which is when Asgore finally shows up. Yay! For those of you still with me, thank you for sticking around. I hope you enjoy the latest chapter of Descentale.

- Sincerely, and with much love, The Author

An Important Announcement

Hey, followers. The author of Descentale here. I have good news, and I have bad news.

The bad news is, I might be discontinuing the fanfic version of Descentale indefinitely.

The good news is...

I’m making Descentale into a comic instead!

I’ve already finished drawing the prologue and am in the process of refining the line art and coloring it. I’ve also drawn a few pages of Chapter One. Below is an unfinished page, as a preview just for you:

While I admit that I am not the best artist in the world, I feel that the story would be best told in a visual format instead of a written one, as part of the reason I’ve been delaying the fanfic is because I have little faith in my writing ability. I don’t feel it’s up to snuff.

Seeing how I’m a more visual person anyway, this new direction for Descentale may be for the best. All pages will be posted to my deviantART account, melissaduck, before I post them here.

In other news, I tried to make a RP/ask blog for the original characters made for Descentale, but I consider it a colossal failure as (A) I have no patience to maintain it on a regular basis, and (B) I have a HUGE problem with communicating with fellow RP’ers. I did, however, post character profiles on that blog, so I will be reblogging them here for your perusal. Consider it a gift to keep you all busy while I work.

I know some of you must be disappointed in the fanfic being unfinished and stuck at Chapter Two, and now I have to start all over again in comic format. I’m terribly sorry, and I wish I knew how to make it up to you all. But I just can’t stand my writing style at all. I can tell a story just fine, but I am so bad with words that I’m better off using a visual format.

I will make an honest effort in making the Descentale comic the absolute best it can be. That I can promise you. I don’t know how long it will take to finish the comic, nor do I know how many pages I can put out in a certain period of time. But I will finish the story. I have had way too many projects fail on me due to my lack of motivation, and I can’t let this happen again.

I hope you can all forgive me for my faults, and I also hope you are just as excited as I am for this new direction I’m taking.

- Sincerely, melissaduck (The Author)

HELLO, PEOPLE!

It’s been a while, but I have some great news! I have gotten five pages written so far of Chapter Three of Descentale, in which we introduce the villain of our story!

It’s this guy, Reed “Ed” Hunter-Smith. He’s an asshole. I think you’ll like him.

We’re also gonna meet this dude, Reed’s assistant:

This is Johnson. Just... just Johnson. That’s all he’s known as. He’s not an asshole by default, but maybe he is one by association because he works for Reed? I dunno. You’ll have to see for yourself.

That’s all for now!

So... it’s been a while since I posted anything Descentale-related. This is a quick concept art I just whipped up in MSPaint. Pretty much everyone’s guessed by now that Emily Thyme is a magician. It would stand to reason, then, that she has magic in her body. While she has the human ability to change fate with her determination, what would happen if she was teetering at death just when her friends needed her most?

I imagine the amount of magic in her body, plus a gigantic sudden burst of determination, would result in her pulling a One-Winged Angel-style transformation. Unfortunately... such a transformation would probably be permanent, so this would likely only happen if things were truly, TRULY desperate.

Meh, it’s just a concept.

For those still waiting on actual Descentale content, I can assure you it’s coming. I just don’t know when. Hang in there.

To the peeps following me for Descentale:

A lot of personal issues have come up recently, and my emotional health has been pretty terrible. Things are slow-going over here.

Basically, ever since I’ve realized how much of an asshole I’ve been over the years, I’m becoming more aware of that old behavior popping up, and it’s causing me a lot of grief. Reaching epiphanies you wish you hadn’t reached about yourself? It’s a very sad and frustrating feeling, something I need to work through.

I’m trying to work on Descentale as best I can. Like I said, I’m working on two chapters at once, plus a couple of one-shots. I tend to take on too many projects at once, so please bear with me as I take care of my health, as well as tackle these projects with as much energy as I can muster.

I have not forgotten about my fans. I am just tired and sad.
