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.

who is hacked Color?,is he canon to color's story? or just a noncanon what if?

So (one of?) Othertale’s script/dialogue writer(s) released the full Othertale: Before the Hack and some of the Othertale shorts scripts a few days ago. You can find links to those here. It even features some pre-canon stuff.

The Othertale: Before the Hack script shows parts that were cut out of the first animation—Othertale: Before the Hack (part 1)—and the rest of what I assume was gonna be more animations of Before the Hack.

When it comes to the scripts and animations, from what I can tell, you can think of “Before the Hack” as Season 1 and “After the Hack” as Season 2. It seems like Season 1/Before the Hack was planned to be released in parts in the form of animated videos.

These scripts basically reveal the entirety of “Season 1,” and its ending seems to potentially lead into After the Hack—aka Season 2–if Othertale hadn’t been discontinued.

From what I can tell, “the Hack” is referring to Color—and what happens to him in those scripts. Don’t wanna spoil for you or anyone else if yall haven’t read it yet.

[howlsofbloodhounds]

Did color see the red of killers soul for the first time and assume that what happened to him also happened to killer initially.

[howlsofbloodhounds]

Do you think Hacked Color would be similar to Killer in some stages, like 2 or 3?

Probably more similar to Stage 2. I would say maybe also Stage 4 based off the very little we know about it in the official material, but i won’t.

Not only because we know even less about it than Stage 3, but because Hacked!Color seems to show more personality(?) and I suppose awareness—responsiveness—than Killer does when in Stage 4, based off the little Stage 4 Comic.

The only ‘canonical’ information we have on Stage 3 and its behaviors are like..one line from Killer’s arguably unreliable description—or at least Killer’s not 100% trustworthy and unbiased thoughts and personal experiences—a single drawing where we kinda see the shape and color of the SOUL in Stage 3, and a little picture of Killer’s facial expression seemingly when going into or in Stage 3.

Killer describes Stage 3 as ‘crazy,’ says he’ll kill and/or hurt anyone in that Stage, and the first time we learn of its existence it’s because Killer is explaining how the whole of his entire being works now and asking Color to immediately kill him if he ever goes into Stage 3.

Meanwhile, Stage 2 is the Stage we see Killer’s SOUL in more often than not.

It’s shown that when Stage 2, Sans behaves and thinks a lot more like the Something New Player/Hacker and/or Something New Chara outwardly—and when in Stage 1, he deems his Stage 2 self untrustworthy and warns others not to trust him when he’s “like that,” even if he won’t kill them. Doesn’t mean he won’t hurt or manipulate them, or make them wish he had killed them.

So given how Hacked!Color behaves, hacked by “Her,” there’s likely to be more similarities between Her and Killer in Stage 2.

Only differences I can think of is that Hacked!Color seems more wild(?) and sadistic, almost gleefully, whereas Killer in Stage 2 can do very cruel and sadistic acts—often to reach a goal he thinks can only be achieved that way, such as trying to force someone to give up on him—but doesn’t actually seem to take much genuine glee in it.

And the word sadistic implies some type of enjoyment or pleasure.

Killer in Stage 2 seems like someone very prone to being easily and severely understimulated and bored, and rarely feels emotion strongly. He seems to agree with other characters’ thoughts that he does not have or feel emotions at all, actually.

Whenever he does feel a strong emotion, he does not seem to know what exactly it is he’s feeling—judging by that one ask where an anon asked if Killer ever felt anything new or different when he killed someone, and all Killer in Stage 2 (with that eyelight in his right eye socket) could say while standing over Papyrus’ dust and scarf was “I don’t know.”

Judging by how he reacted to Dream not doing anything or fighting back against him, I’d say he’d probably only feel more emotion (or at least stronger emotions) and “realness” from those types of actions if the ones he’s doing it to are “giving” him something back.

A reaction, a fight, those are one thing. But I’m thinking maybe he’d be more responsive and engaged if he’s being hurt back, too.

Killer in Stage 2 reads to me as someone who is capable of very violent and cruel actions, feeling no need to hold back or show restraint (outside of maybe killing/death) if he thinks or sees there’s enough reason to justify getting violent—which can be anything like trying to force someone to give up, to simply being “too weak” and it’s not his fault they couldn’t handle it.

In cases of him being ordered or expected into violence, particularly where he’s expected to fight, he checks out and gets bored when the other person doesn’t fight back or “does something.”

So I’d say Killer in Stage 2 is more ruthless than he is sadistic, and more masochistic than he is sadistic.

But that doesn’t mean he won’t act or say he feels some type of way about it—such as him saying he’s fighting against Dream when asked because “it’s fun” only to quickly follow up with saying Nightmare ‘asked’ him to, and him saying working with the Bad Sanses is “fun” while standing over a pile of dust, only for the faint near invisible word ‘sad’ to be seen underneath it.

He’s not driven by enjoyment in others’ pain—he just doesn’t care that they’re in pain.

(Or is trying not to care, or doesn’t care as ‘much’ or in a way that someone else may want him to or thinks he should.)

So with that I’d say Killer in Stage 2 is a ruthless masochist who is play acting as a sadist. Or: Killer in Stage 2 is not truly sadistic—he’s a ruthless, emotionally numb masochist, surviving through roleplay and performance, trying to feel in control of a world that stripped away everything real.

So, is Hacked Color the Color Sans whose body has been taken over by players or "Corrupted Chara"? Because I'm quite confused.

Basically it’s the Color Sans that has been taken over, yeah. You can tell because “hacked” Color has red flames, something the actual Color does not have.

[othertalearchive]

HER:

With the recent reveal of the Othertale scripts, I figured it’d be important to remind everyone what superyoumna has said about her AU behind the scenes through asks.

Particularly, about “her,” and how “she” is not Chara.

Mysterious Red Figure.

“Her” could be the Player.

“She” refers to the Player, right?

I’m guessing “Her” is the Player.

Is the Player a specific person with a name?

I will leave more asks if I find them.

[howlsofbloodhounds]

Hacked Color appearing is such a good way to Killer show that he already learned from his mistakes and is trying to fix things by controlling himself.

Mainly if he need to show this change to a Player.

I actually have a post in my drafts talking about a similar idea of killer having to be confronted both with everything he did and everything he helped do. But also having to discern what is and isn’t his to take responsibility for if anything at all.

Didn’t have anything to do with red!color, the draft was actually talking about that gap we don’t see between this comic and this comic. Idk if i should post it or not

[howlsofbloodhounds]

with the discovery of Hacked Color, I feel like we need a nickname for him or a duo name with him and Killer- maybe both.

"Hacked" is simple and to the point, but I'm not sure that'd be a good nickname.

Hates Chara Duo... /j

I dunno, the Player is referred to as “Her” but the writer of the Othertale scripts sometimes reblogged posts by superyoumna with this:

in the tags. “Red,” but heavily distorted—as if hacked.
