I'm opening up the Brittle Universes for trick or treating asks this year (2024) with the exception of Fellswap Brittle/Beeper.
If you want to ring anyone's buzzer, you can find them in their specific world. Each person can go to one house in total. It's encouraged that you draw whoever's showing up, so a blank base doesn't have to be used, but it's not mandatory.
If multiple characters are on the same bullet point, they will be in the same area on Halloween.
Dead Dove Do Not Eat: It has what it says on the tin/ things are occasionally morally dubious without karma, instant karma, or obvious karma.
Specific Warnings:
Incest, off-kilter family dynamics, swearing, gang violence, murder, themes of religion, eldritch horror, body horror
---
This is a world meant to be explored through dialogue. You will know as much as you explore, and redundant questions will be accepted, especially questions on a character's opinion. Tastes and attitudes shift.
---
In this world, Monsters were cursed after The Great Human/Monster War. They lost the ability to read and write when they were sealed away in the Mountain, and only a select few can still claim to utilize traditional written language.
Today, the Underground is strewn with Gothic Victorian structures, streetlamps, and iron-wrought gates. Traditions and structural integrity rule all, and social hierarchy is spearheaded by only the most intelligent and sophisticated.
---
You are allowed to ask any character, as long as you know their name. You are allowed to give gifts and physically interact with characters-- but the characters have the right to ignore, reject, and accept interactions at their own in-character discretion.
For asks with a combination of characters from different Worlds (example: Underfell Bright Sans and Underswap Beam Grillby), ask @undertalebrittle. It is the home of the Brittle Void.

Revealed Roster:
Riccardo
A child prodigy with a bright future.
"That is what my instructors have told me, yes."
Sans (Krill)
A wannabe thug and self-proclaimed rapper.
Viewed as having below average intelligence and social skills, frequently not considerate or considered. Works at an ice cream parlor to keep himself afloat until his rap career takes off.
"DRUGS, MONEY, BITCHES!"
Papyrus (Jabot)
An old-fashioned young accountant with a myriad of health problems.
Walks everywhere with a cane. Doesn't get along with his older brother and wasn't afraid to call him out in public when they briefly lived together. Has too many allergies to avoid and medicines to take. Deals with chronic pain and only has eight fingers total.
"Good heavens, what is the world coming to? Ah well. Not much to do other than let it sort itself out, I suppose. Never mind that-- would you care for a spot of tea, friend?"
Muffet (Belle)
A young farmer who sees everyone she meets as an equal.
Unable to read Lettering, she takes lessons (as a hobby) from an elderly fire elemental by the name of Grillby. She hopes to be one of the few Monsters who unlock Blue Magic so that she can understand the stories written in untranslated books. Friendly.
"He he he, you think so? Thank you!"
(More characters will be added as time goes on, and some designs may change.)

Undertale Brittle by @kyne-grotto
Underswap Brittle/Beam by @kyne-grotto
(or Grotto-kay on DeviantArt, where most of the context already is.)
Queen of the Spiders, even if the power behind that title has faded over the years. She serves as a doctor in Hotland, creating medicine from Green Magic (Specialty: Item Creation) by mixing refined Green Magic with various other chemicals and substances. Was promised to King Asgore by as a political move by the previous King of Spiders. She has a long-standing affair with Grillby. Tired, but a socialite.
Underswap Brittle/Beam:
A young farmer who sees everyone she meets as an equal. Unable to read Lettering, she takes lessons (as a hobby) from an elderly fire elemental by the name of Grillby. She hopes to be one of the few Monsters who unlock Blue Magic so that she can understand the stories written in untranslated books. Friendly.
Underfell Brittle/Bright:
A nomadic merchant who serves as her group's appraiser. She considers herself to be necessary, and occasionally pushes her chores off on those who let her. Her group travels the Surface and makes frequent deals with both Humans and Monsters. Plays the fiddle when she feels like it, and not before. A free spirit.
Fellswap Brittle/Beeper:
The friendly and responsible eldest of the Spiders. Painfully oblivious to the effects she has on others, to the point that her cooking is inedible to anyone other than spiders. Unintentionally traumatizing, at times. Once dated Papyrus (Wysteria), but they left each other on amicable terms and treat the other as friends. Immune to poison. A bit clumsy.
Health- Moderate
Strength- Low
Endurance- Low
Charisma- High
Constitution- Best
Pictured also is Tuffet, Muffet's youngest sister. Bites, is venomous, and has yet to comprehend that not everything is food. Attempts to eat Muffet regularly. 5 months old. Immune to poison. Head empty.
Health- Low
Strength- Low
Endurance- Low
Charisma- Moderate
Constitution- Best
Undertale Brittle Biephasic Terror:
An E-Girl streamer with a decent following. Has undergone various cosmetic procedures due to the new Humanization trend, including Arm Reduction, Eye Reduction, Eye Whitening, Chitin Softening, a full-bodied skin-colored tattoo, and the removal of her fangs. Wears a wig and contact lenses. Currently in a relationship with another influencer with a similar number of followers, but is looking to bump up her game with her boyfriend's brother, who manages a cosmetics line (or so he claims). Competitive.
When Pablo dashes off, he's so excited that he doesn't notice himself stepping through the blue and purple portal in the doorway-- or that he's now in a bustling, strangely colored city.
He slams face-first into a mahogany door, having not expected to find another door so soon after passing through the first one. It only takes him a moment to recover, despite the strangeness of it all. He has an invitation, and he'd rather deep fry his feather pen then waste an opportunity like this.
After checking to make sure that this was, indeed, the right house, he strolls in through the front door. He forgets to close it behind him.
"HELLO?", Pablo calls out.
Something wooden clatters further in the house.
"HELLOOOO~! IS ANYBODY HOME?!?"
Pablo waits for a moment. Then, an older-looking skeleton peeks out from another room. He's well dressed, presentable. But his bugged-out eyes show the same level of stress as someone watching their phone teeter over a sewer drain.
Jabot blinks.
---
Shockingly, they find a lot to talk about.
Everything from witnessing someone flush a cake down a toilet to mundane workplace grievances seems to be fair game, and Jabot keeps the taller skeleton's cup full. Pablo freely spouts off about anything that comes to mind, Jabot follows along, and before they know it, three full hours have passed. Neither hear the front door shut.
Jabot eventually has to bring their meeting to an end. His armada of medication awaited him, and he found it in bad taste to worry decent company with his regiment, so he walked Pablo to the door.
"I thank you again for the company, Mr. Pab-- Papyrus." Jabot began, leaning on his cane. "It's been too long since I've had someone visit for company's sake, and not just for their taxes. It gets lonesome when the people you see view you as nothing but a cog in the machine--"
Jabot chuckled slightly, waving off his statement.
"Heavens, look at me prattle on. It's late. You need to get home."
He pulls out a blue and purple "fountain pen" and hands it to Pablo.
"This is not a pen." He explained. "It is a… well, I don't know what it is, but if you ever need to speak with me again, click the button three times--"
Pablo immediately clicked it four times out of curiosity. A blue and white portal spiderwebbed out next to Pablo before immediately retracting itself on the fourth click.
Jabot's smile froze.
"...and it will bring you back here. And yes, to close it, you press the button again (as you have just found)."
After they shook hands and said their goodbyes, Pablo reopened the portal and it brought him back to his office, where nobody had noticed his absence.
