What if Clover didn't die?

It would be a shame to make them bury their child after all...

They couldn't avoid Captain Undyne forever

Hi y'all. I wanted to take a crack at drawing the stages of Clover since it's been so long!

So what would be the fallow up to your souless clover AU who do they live with, how life now their husk, do they get their soul back after True pacifist

[froggitonamelon]

can I give your soulless clover a blanket and hot chocolate and a plushie

Yeah of course! After visiting Snowdin, they probably need it <3

This was originally going to be a sketch but it got away from me...

Hello! I love your ideas, designs and AU

Regarding the AU, what do you think about the fact that the soulless Clover should essentially be immortal in magical combat? After all, they have no SOUL to break or take

Imagine how the same Undyne lies in wait for them and tries to kill them, but she... nothing... works out?

Combat details below :)

Honestly trying to figure out what in combat would and would not affect Clover has been very interesting.

When it comes to most bullets, I imagine that Clover functions like the grey attacks that Napstablook uses at one point. As it currently stands, there are 2 acceptations to the general rule that bullet patterns do not affect Clover.

1: Clover can be hurt by physical weapons. Trying to distinguish this from bullets that look like weapons is where the struggle comes in. If they are shown carrying a weapon in their sprite, the weapon behaves like how you would expect a weapon like that to behave, and the number of times that weapon appears as an attach matches how many they have, its fair game. Physical weapons (I have so far): Asgore's trident, Ceroba's staff, Starlo's lasso and one of his guns, Mad Dummy's single knife (maybe any of MD's attacks ??), and the Dogis' axes (I think?? Unless both still remain after you kill one??) Bullets that look like weapons: Undyne's spears, Moray's swords, Ed's fists, and Starlo's extra guns

2: More nebulously, any bullets that can affect their environment without needed to touch the soul is also fair game. Fire and sound are the two most notable. Toriel uses fire magic to clean her stove so it is presumably hot enough to burn the skin and any music too loud or piercing would still hurt Clover's ear drums. While these still hurt, they wouldn't hurt Clover as magic bullets.

If there are any others you think should be exceptions, please let me know <3

Aww thank you so much Anon!! <3

Can u make Frisk meet Soulless Clover?

Yes yes yes yes and yes! I would love to do that and actually have a bit of a sketch for it! I had to put it on hold since it's a bit much for my schedule rn (at least to do the concept justice) but I hope to get it out at some point!

When they get close enough to Soulless!Clover, their soul (let's call them Justice for distinction) feels it nearby. Justice knows that this isn't where they were separated and had assumed that Clover was dead, so they rush off.

Chara, seeing this, would have Frisk follow and they would find Clover from there, on the boat.

As for how Frisk and Clover would interact, I think Clover would be apathetic and cold, a spark of purpose within them to get this kid to the capital as quickly as possible. They don't have it in them to kill the kid themself but still have a remnant of duty to see the monsters free after all this time.

Proximity to Justice would help Clover feel something identifiable for the first time in years but it's still dulled, like sunlight on a cold day.

After regaining their soul/body, Clover would have memories from both halves of their life so they would have an actual emotional connection to Frisk. They would become like an older sibling or cousin, one that is protective but goofy. They would kill for Frisk but would also throw them into the deep end of a pool or start a pillow fight. Frisk in turn, would look up to Clover.

Clover and Chara have very fun older 'brother' and cool older 'sister' energy with Frisk being an adorable youngest sibling that wants to be like both of them at the same time.

Abt the soulless clover au, would flowey ever find out clover is alive? What's his reaction to another person who's soulless like him, especially since he knew them before they lost their soul

Thank you for the wait! I'm sorry this took so long!

To answer your question, no Flowey doesn't find out that Clover’s alive before Frisk falls.

He kept to the Ruins, Waterfall, and New Home due to how generally unpleasant Snowdin, Hotland, and The Dunes are for him

The time range in which he was in the majority of the last of his 'playing every game' phases was from shortly after Clover died though about three years in.

Clover remembering these resets and the time spent in them is part of the reason their mental decay was so fast. They wanted to stay- it was the whole reason they came back to the Wild East after all- but... the disconnect of being soulless combined with reliving those hard days over and over was too much for them. If they were alone, the resets wouldn't matter as much.

They became The Ferrymin after Flowey had stopped resetting and shut himself in the Ruins with only brief exceptions to isolated caves of Waterfall and Snowdin (unfortunately) in order to toy with Papyrus. It was mostly coincidence/ intentional avoidance on The Ferrymin’s part after that that they never crossed paths. At least until he's following Frisk around.

After the True Pacifist ending, Clover is the one to go after Flowey as they care about him outside of Asriel. Flowey is... upset? perturbed? he feels the missed opportunity of being around another soulless being.

He also feels the small amounts of fading guilt that he can that he contributed to their downward spiral, which both made them more similar to himself and hurt them. Lots of potential complicated emotions involved.
