Waiting For Something To Happen?

Waiting for something to happen?

I drew what I think it would be like at the end of a No Mercy run where Sans beats the player.

I added his bed to symbolize how much his life is tied to what this room stands for. This room is connected to the loss of everyone he knew, and the fact that for him, things will never truly change in a way that matters.

His mind metaphorically lives here, maybe even literally if he chooses to stick around in the Judgement Hall. He sits alone with his grief and waits for the next reset to take it away. With everyone dead, there's nothing else he can really do.

And there's always a chance there won't be a reset. Sans is a pretty tough boss to beat, after all...

But he doesn't know for sure if there won't be a reset- he can only fear.

So he waits.

[Inspired by the crayon drawings in Omori's notebook in Whitespace. I felt the stagnancy of Whitespace fit this ending of No Mercy.]

I saw this and I got so excited that I grabbed and shook my screen really hard /positive

my pookies :3

I like the idea that King's sweater turns him into a walking heater.

Transcript: Ahhhh I'm nervous about this confession. I'm working up the courage to send it. Okay. Here we go.

I don't like Inverted Fate and it's not even its fault. I'm sick of seeing sans au hatred whenever Inverted Fate is brought up, mostly on Undertale's R ddit but sometimes on tumblr too. My first mistake was looking at posts that mention Undertale's aus on that site I guess. I've seen sans au hatred linked to Inverted Fate so much that it made me never want to check it out or see anything about it.

I've never been able to experience Inverted Fate for myself so every time I see it mentioned, I don't think of the AU: I think of the fandom complaining about sans aus and calling them trash. To me, IF represents the fandom's hatred of most aus and is the embodiment of: this au is better than all the others and you're just a sans fangirl if you like sans aus instead of this masterpiece that focuses on other characters.

I know it's not IF's fault. I heard it's good. I'm happy it focuses on other characters than Sans. Papyrus and Alphys, not Sans, are my favorites so I'd probably love them in Inverted Fate. I'd have loved to check it out but the Sans au haters make me want to ignore it.

I know I shouldn't let fans keep me from checking out an AU but I can't see IF mentioned without feeling annoyed and getting a bitter taste in my mouth because it's often used to say how "bad", "cringey", and "out of character" other AUs are.

Ahhhhhhhhh, this is going to be unpopular, isn't it... Can I please see some good things about Inverted Fate without saying "It focuses on other characters, it's sooo good because it's not about sans, and the characters are "in character", unlike the ten billion Sans aus?"

stepped on a plum (overripe plum) (barefoot) it was on the driveway got out of the car and accidentally (didn't know it was there) stepped on the plum (warm) (on the ground) (it had fallen from the tree) barefoot (no shoes) wearing long pants (too long) (need to hem them) plum viscera got on them (the pants) unexpected plum on the driveway (hot plum) (97 degrees out) already super hungover (throwing up all morning) (should not have been driving at all) and I stepped out of the car (black car) (97 degrees out) and onto the plum (unexpected) (didn't know the plum was there) and it burst (plum nightmare on my only good pair of sweatpants) still we find ways to keep ourselves going from day to day

It is done (enough)!

I would hype it up more but this is really really simple. It randomly generates a set of symbols, colors, and a word, and then the expected thing to do with those is you draw some sort of character based off the result you get. So it's just an art challenge toy thingy.

There are also some practical features like you can lock parts of the result in place to rerandomize the rest, or hide parts of the generation you don't care about (like if you want to pick your own colors or hate the words being there)

You can try it out over on itch.io!

It should run in browser, but there's also a downloadable version for Windows if you want to use it offline. (No mac/linux versions for now, because I don't have appropriate computers to test those on and I...don't want to deal with mac's developer accounts or whatever their problem is...)

Here's something I made from one of the results I got for the sake of example:

(It's a bit of a rushed drawing sorry I just wanted to get the actual generator out there)

I hope everyone has fun with it :]
