Thinks about making a whole ass "What if UNDERTALE was a movie" script and then remembering that's a really terrible idea

If I had a nickel for every time a sans au was trapped in a blank void-space until they couldn’t take it anymore and broke down, allowing them to escape the area and retain no previous memories of their past lives/selves and also receiving IMMENSE trauma and mental issues, viewing all of the other AUs as relatively insignificant, before gaining a connection to the creators and deciding that they needed to influence the multiverse for attention, I’d-

Undertale is a truly amazing game. It will probably always be my favorite video game of all time. I may have only played the game a few years ago, but it’s been stuck in my brain forever, and clearly for many others it’s the same. If nothing else i’ll always thank it and its characters for being there for me during difficult times, and just for being as wonderful as they are.

“Despite everything it’s still you.” And the song Undertale has comforted me more than i could ever describe.

ITS WILD HOW MUCH STUFF PEOPLE ARE MAKING THIS ANNIVERSARY! Even if it’s less popular than before the current fandom is just beautiful, and i can’t wait to see more, even for the canon characters with the deltarune chapters.

Anyway. I made a butterscotch cinnamon pie :D to celebrate. It turned out really good.

Let us all stay determined in a new decade of undertale!

Random rambling cuz I'm bored but I really don't understand how the monsters got their Happy Ending on the Surface after Frisk freed them. Like. Have you seen them. They have little to no knowledge on humans, they thought it was a really good idea to have a child as an ambassador, they are literal monsters. So many things should have went wrong while interacting with the humans. Undyne destroys things if she's too energetic and literally thinks humans are like in anime, Papyrus would definitely piss someone off even if not on purpose, and the humans definitely had at least the instinct to react with hostility. Heck look what happened to Chara and Asriel. And let's not talk about the fact the monsters killed human children to get out of the Underground. And yes, I know this game was made to be silly and Toby Fox is silly and the game isn't supposed to focus on the Surface, I'm not against the Happy Ending we've got, I just don't understand how it happened without accidents

Me, looking at literally all my favorite characters: I'm going to trans your gender

Okay okay but undetale mood: I had this thought a bit ago but like something clicked on why Flowey doesn't feel emotions it's so obvious and I'm sure others have said it but you all know monsters souls are made up of love, hope, and compassion so of course when all that's taken away your gonna feel soulless.

Like it's so obvious but I don't know why until recently it clicked why he's like he is. Because he's so weird, he claims to not feel anything but he obviously still deeply cares for Chara, he's afraid of death, and he likes Papyrus enough, this isn't someone who truly can't feel anything. He always had feelings it's just he doesn't really have positive ones I mean the absence of love, hope, and compassion will lead to apathy and despair. Mix that with time travel powers and of course, he was going to try to get a kick out of anything. Apathy isn't a fun feeling to shake off but Papyrus must have done something right for him to be so entertaining. And the absence of those emotions doesn't mean he can't form strong connections or have desire. Like it's a weird thing to hear that he did take care of Toriel if he didn't feel anything towards her. Yeah it's hard to care about people when you can't love but you could still care, you could still form a strong emotional tie to someone, a strong social tie even, and he did love his mother before.

Undertale au, but a couple of years after the monsters were locked underground, a cult was made on the surface that would (safely) send babies down mt. ebott twice a year as like a sacrifice. Little did they know, instead of monsters (idk killing them or somethin) they were adopted and raised through out the underground. There are villages of humans, like the temmie village. Most of the underground believe they are regular monsters, and their souls are just an effect of their magic. No one sees that these “monsters” are brought in from the surface, and are assumed to just appear in some way, because it’s not uncommon for monsters to be made this way. Toriel, the ruins keeper, makes sure the baby humans are safely brought down and given to a loving family. The only people that know what the humans really are the royal family and their people they trust the most (I gotta make a list 😅).

Okay, so I was gonna post this in an Ask but like...there was no room and this was turning into like four Asks, so I tagged you instead because I HaVE fEElinGs about this lol

I see everyone discussing why humans be so weak and my general thought is two part. The first being fairly important, they don't know. As far as it looks, the war was soooooo long ago, no one remembers. How would they know they could beat the monsters?  Yeah, some probably try but even though canon says all monsters could barely beat one human (and yes the Soul does genocide at one point), the Soul dies a lot too. Via one monster. Not only that, I doubt most humans would know to attack with their Soul magic, they’d probably use guns, etc, and whose to say stronger monsters can’t defend against that because no matter what I equipped playing, it took me awhile to not get my ass kicked, and that includes a No Mercy and Genocide run (which I never finished because Undyne is ridiculous. RIDICULOUS). To me it stands to reason they can defend themselves.

Second part, not all mages are equal. It says the seven strongest sealed them, so maybe not all Souls are equal which would mean some human Souls can be beat. And I’d like to think in the darker verse, monsters have 100% consumed human Souls, why wouldn’t they (and it says in Canon that Asgore took a human Soul in so like, there’s that)? Whatever they need to do to defend themselves from humans and even each other. Since we don’t actually know too much, I would even go with humans have weakened over time and only the strongest Mage descendants were able to go through the barrier. 

Another weird thought, is if humans still had magic, why aren’t they using it? True, we don’t actually know about the current world outside the barrier but I would consider it the modern age, so to speak, since it says 20xx. So, maybe the magic has died out, maybe the only way for humans to use magic is in the barrier and once broken only monsters (creatures of literal magic) can still use it. Hence why the humans kind of fall in line and are scared after, and why in many interpretations Frisk loses her abilities once the barrier is broken.

My thoughts are flustered now but that’s my gist of why humans be so weak.
