Oh, me again! (If you’re still taking questions, sorry!) I was actually wondering (since I’ve seen a couple of asks about it) if in your canon, monsters outside of the skeletons actually know about their alternate selves? Basically, for example, would Fell Asgore know about the Undertale universe etc.? (I was working on a fic a while back about potential problems with the leaders of the “bad universes” knowing about the “good ones” could have and I was curious what your thoughts might be!)

In our current place in the timeline, only the skeles know about the other AUs. (Though, in the Tale verses, it’s not something they really try to conceal. If anything, it’s a joke:

“You know, you and Red look a lot alike.”

“oh, yeah, he’s my evil twin from an alternate universe.”

“…I just thought it was interesting. No need to get sarcastic, Sans.”)

However, once everyone makes it to the surface, things are different. They introduce the Tale verses first, then start (slowly) integrating the Fell monsters.

Ooh, man. It would not go well if the less stable rulers learned that there was an entire universe of gentler monsters. I’m not sure an actual invasion would be feasible…but the Tale-verse monsters could be easily snatched. The nobility and other powerful monsters would be more than happy to acquire a sweet-piece or two from a Tale-verse.

(This could be a potential spoiler so feel free to dance around the question or ignore it) but do you plan to have any of the Tale verse monsters visit Swapfell at any point? I loved the Underfell chapter of Broken Bones and from what I gather, Swapfell is a lot worse. Give me that angst. (If you want to ignore that question though—would you ever consider doing that sort of thing for Telling Tales or Bone Shards? It could get pretty ugly pretty fast ((hopefully)).)

I do not currently plan on bringing any of our Tale-verse boys to Swapfell. I would definitely consider something like that for either short story collection, though.
