throughout my whole time in this fandom since like.. 2017, i don't think i've EVER drawn my interpretation of the human souls so i thought last night would be the perfect time.
as far as i'm aware, toby never made canonized 'alive' versions of the souls and i've seen a ton of fan iterations so i kinda figured 'okay, why not make my own little designs'!!? i love character design and i adore undertale so this was right up my alley.
i really don't know if there's a canonized or widely fanonized timeline in which these humans fell either, so fuck it!!!!!!!!!! made my own!!!!
assuming the human/monster war occurred far back enough to where the only monsters who experienced it firsthand are toriel, asgore, and gerson (who is a tortoise, an animal that lives anywhere from 80-150 years) (and boss monsters get an extended life if i remember correctly), the war most likely happened somewhere around 120~ years ago. if the fallen human (lets just say the opening scene actually depicts chara since their sweater only has one stripe) fell around 201X, all of these souls would've had to have fallen afterwards.
of course, these humans wouldn't have fallen in a consistent year pattern (such as one human per 6 years), the timeline isn't linear like that. i'd imagine it's more of a scatter plot, with dates being inconsistently close or father away.
the timeline i came up with in my head in order of humans falling is as follows:
Justice, Integrity, Kindness, Bravery, Patience, and Perseverance
the reason i believe it went in this order is mostly judging by the items the humans had on them, and what i drew them with. other interpretations like the souls falling in the same order that o. flowey uses them against you works as well. this is all just my silly fanon interp. :)) !!!
this is the first and last time i'll ever write something this long..... i hate writing so much but i guess all these words seemed to spill out. whoopsies!!!!
