About a boy who wakes up in the Underground and surrounded by monsters. On the way to go back home, he meets others, faces challenges and makes friends. Maybe these other beings aren’t so different from himself, afterall?
You play TWEWY and listen to Undertale Let’s Plays at the same time and this is what happens >:P Stick around and read the Headcanons if you have a minute (obvious spoilers for both TWEWY and Undertale ahead):
- Neku-Frisk fell into the Underground but wasn’t completely sure how. He thought he was being careful… did he trip? …was he pushed? - Those headphones aren’t for music, but act more like sound mufflers. Too much/loud noise all at once makes him anxious and aggressive and want to retreat to a ‘safer place’ just for himself. The headphones are a way he can cope with over-stimulation. - Monsters physically are a combination of humans and the Noise creatures from Twewy. Other than the obvious tribal-like appendages and markings, monsters can use magic and their souls are made up of love, hope and compassion (like the monsters in Undertale). - Instead of a heart, souls are represented by musical notes. Each monster has their own 'song’ and only a certain few can hear them. And like a game with BGM, areas and spots have their own songs as well. - Beat and Rhyme HAD to be the skeleton brothers. The skull motif just made the choice easy! Although, knowing what happens in TWEWY and the genocide route in Undertale, Rhyme as Sans might seem odd. To that I decided that Rhyme deserves some love and redemption. And more credit for the clever girl she is. - The clothing items on Beat and Rhyme do move and emote. Because monsters and magic. - Everyone’s personalities are combinations of the characters they are crossovered with. For instance,
Sans and Rhyme are both observant and think highly of their brothers, which Rhyme-Sans inherits. But Rhyme-Sans is less lazy and more playfully apologetic about playing pranks.– Beat-Papyrus has a lot of energy and desire to be the best. But it’s less about popularity and more about being someone Rhyme-Sans can be proud of. And also he still skates. He’s a really cool dude afterall.
Eri-Undyne has a desire to protect other monsters and motivates them to do what they can do best. She’s a little more aggressive than Eri but it’s all for betterment of her community. She’s still a royal guard.
Shiki-Aphys. Shy, closeted nerd that loves science and making cute clothes but has trouble loving herself for who she is. Replace anime with fashion for this version. Royal seamstress that also dabbles in science and doll-making.
Joshua-Dreemur, the serial murderer. Once prince of the Underground, able to hear and make beautiful music with his magic. Died and became an orange flower. Vowed to destroy monsters and the Underground because they have no good in them. All they are are noise. Saw Neku and knew this was his chance for world(and self) destruction.
- Yes, that’s the Dogechiko. It sits in Snowdin. - Yes, Eri and Shiki are dating (or will, at least). - I refer to each character here as 'TWEWY character’-'Undertale character’ but in the crossover, they call each other by their TWEWY names. You can too, if you don’t want to say or write long names ;p That’s all I can remember right now but I’m sure there are more I’ve forgotten or chose not to mention just yet. I’ve been plotting and concepting and drawing this on and off for about a month now. Doing the designs for everyone was really fun (including the ones characters that I haven’t featured here). I tried to match characters together that I thought had similar personalities and/or had similar stories. Most were REALLY easy choices, some were hard. Designs were difficult at times because on one hand you have the simplicity of Undertale, and the detailed accessories and clothes from TWEWY. Tried to stick somewhere in the middle. I hope I can draw and add more to this AU. The similarities between TWEWY and Undertale are almost STAGGERING.
