continuation of the floweypot au! everyone’s getting used to living on the surface, but it looks like they’re all gonna get a turn babysitting your friendly neighborhood weed, one-on-one…and so begins…the flowey redemption (toleration??) arc
i dunno if this would count as an au or not but the “frisk adopting a vehement flowey into the family post-pacifist run so they are basically just a particularly vile houseplant” au is extremely important to me. also comes with “no one cares about flowey but frisk” and “flowey discovers what hell truly is”
by the way, if you haven’t read toby fox’s message on deltarune from his twitter, you probably should here. a summary:
deltarune is a different universe/timeline/world, the undertale world and ending are just as you left them. it’s NOT a sequel or prequel
deltarune chapter 1 is a demo of a project toby wanted to start, but it’s too big of a task to do alone like undertale. he’s trying to assemble a team but is unsure of how many years it could take to get the game done
the game would be released eventually (hopefully) as one full package of chapters to purchase. no preorders, no kickstarter.
as of right now, there is “0%” progress on the full game besides the demo we got, but this is in terms of the actual game and programming/art. the story itself is completely done and so are some songs
another tweet shows he’s been working on ideas for deltarune since 2012!
his last words that i’m going to directly quote because i can’t do them justice myself: “By the way, I was really worried at first about making this. The expectations for my next work would be really high, so high that I knew that no matter what I did, I felt like people would be underwhelmed. If you played “UNDERTALE,” I don’t think I can make anything that makes you feel “that way” again. However, it’s possible I can make something else. It’s just something simple but maybe you’ll like it. See you in ?? years… OK? Don’t forget.”
Had kind of a terrible day today where nothing really went right. Here’s a quick Undertale doodle I did of the world’s favorite line (and mine as well).
You know, I think what makes Papyrus and his boastfulness so endearing, despite egoism usually being a negative and unappealing character trait, is the fact that his self-confidence does not exist at the expense of others. He doesn’t build himself up by putting other people down; he thinks highly of everyone! He can consider himself great and admirable while still genuinely being impressed by the people around him and celebrating their accomplishments.
Papyrus understands that greatness is not a competition; it’s something everyone can win at! And even if he is the greatest, it’s only so that he can show everyone else how to recognize their own inherent value.
Papyrus believes in himself! Papyrus believes in me! Papyrus believes in you, too!
