Is there any AU you'd like to see in Chanstober? :¿
I've already done Dusttale, Toxictale, Underfell, HorrorTale, and Reapertale, so I'm looking for an interesting AU to draw... What do you think?
I can't promise it'll show up, but I’d love to have more options to consider!
DAY 1 (CHANSTOBER 2024) . FALL AU: After The Pacifist CW: none!
NA: Hiiiiiii~! We start strong! Not because of the plot but because of the work behind it! :v
But hey, it's all for our beloved ship! <3
Interestingly, this comic doesn't have any content warnings, but others might. Let's fire up a bit, right? After all, it's spooky season!
Boo boo boo~
Just a quick note: each post will follow a similar format—Chanstober day, the alternative universe, a content warning, a "read more" banner, and then the comic. If you’d rather skip a comic because of its content, no worries! Just wait for the next one!
Sorry if English isn’t your thing! I can translate it into Spanish, but I don’t know any other languages :-: @chans-week
DAY 2 (CHANSTOBER 2024) . MOONLIGHT
AU: Mermaid & Pirates (Human)
CW: none!
NA: Hello! I said things would heat up a little, right? Well, that's coming up in the next ones. Sorry about that! I couldn't resist; I really wanted to draw this mini comic. As you can see, it's a mix of the fourth day of last year's Chansweek and something new.
I might have gone a bit overboard with the coloring, huh? They already warned me I wouldn't have enough time, but let's see what we can do!
You can find the entire context on Wattpad (Spanish only) and AO3 (Spanish and English) under "Chapter 5: Day 4 - Movie/Fairy Tales." Plus, there's an extra drawing from Day 4 of ChansWeek 2023.

DAY 3 (CHANSTOBER 2024) . GRAVESITE AU: Dusttale CW: Major Character Death (-Sans), Blood
@chans-week
NA: Well, I don't have much to say today except that the color composition really gave me a hard time! It was such a headache. Things didn’t go smoothly from the start—I wanted to arrange the panels in a cross shape, ending with the character lying on the ground to give it a gravesite look, but it didn’t work out that way, so I ended up with this different layout.
And coloring the blood? That was challenging! How do people even manage it?! In the end, I used a lot of red, some gold to make Chara shine (of course <3) but it’s just a bit dull compared to the others.
You know what? I was going to just put ‘Dusttale’ in the content warning, but since some people might not be familiar with it, I thought I'd give a little context! That way, you can decide if you want to keep going or not! Better safe than sorry!

DAY 4 (CHANSTOBER 2024) . MASK AU: Toxictale CW: Experimentation, Chemical Weapons, Blood
NA:
Oh! Toxictale! My dear toxictale! So underrated! But I love you, no matter how hard it is to think and draw about you!
Jokes aside, here we are! I’m so excited to finally share this little headcanon of mine! I know it might not be everyone's favorite—some might even find the appearance a bit off—but I’ve always felt it had a lot of sense.
Just to give a bit of context, I came up with this story about four or five years ago. Some of the long-time fans might remember a few old drawings, but it’s been tough to fully express it in words or art xDDD The first skeleton is Gaster, and the second is Sans.
It’s still a work in progress, but if inspiration and time allow, the second part should be ready by the 10th.

DAY 5 (CHANSTOBER 2024) . SCARY MOVIE
AU: Underfell
CW: Mentions of Abuse, Manipulation
NA: If I talked about an old headcanon before, this one is even older!
About seven years ago, when I first got into Chans, I was really fixated on the Underfell universe, especially on Sans and his abuse. That’s how this idea came to life!
For me, the idea is that Asriel and Chara didn't actually die but instead challenged each other to see who could survive the longest. Asriel took control of the people of Underfell, while Chara—I'm not sure why—only controlled Sans. In this comic, 'Chans' won by defeating the other six fallen souls.
At that time, the plot was all about Frisk trying to survive while uncovering the truth about the siblings' control. It’s like a video game within a video game!
As Set it Off said,
"Who is control? Is it you? I don't know So tell me who is control now"
Though that part is more recent!

DAY 6 (CHANSTOBER 2024) . Sharp and Pointy AU: HorrorTale CW: Mention of Cannibalism, Blood, Agression
CW: Since I wasn’t feeling completely confident, I’m adding a second content warning to explain that, while the story isn’t explicit, it does touch on themes mentioned in the following seconds of this song:
If you choose to continue, I really hope you enjoy it!
@chans-week
NA: Today's story is a bit on the short side, partly because I didn’t want to make it too explicit and partly because I'm running low on inspiration. I’m really sorry!
DAY 7 (CHANSTOBER 2024) . FIRE / BURNED AU: Reapertale cw: Mentions of Abuse, Burning, Incineration (?
NA: The plot is a bit meh, but.... ugh
I had the idea and knew what I wanted to draw, but I just couldn’t find a way to connect everything. So, it turned into a bunch of random panels, with the ending being the most important part.
I really hope it didn’t let you down too much! See you in the next one!
@chans-week
DAY 8 (CHANSTOBER) . DESPERATION AU: Flowerfell CW: Mayor Character Death, Illness
NA: Here we are with an AU that, as far as I know, is a bit controversial but quite popular in the Frans community. However, what do you say we give it a little twist? Let's change into a Chans AU, shall we? ;)
This time, I tried using soft pastel colors to capture the gentleness with which Sans remembers Chara, making it contrast with the sad storyline. It’s kind of a bittersweet drawing.
Well, as many of you probably suspect, soft colors aren’t really my thing. I really hope my effort shows!
Big hug to @charillyis for the request!

DAY 9 (CHANSTOBER) . GHOSTING AU: none!(? CW: Mayor Character Death
NA: Well, I think I said that right, didn’t I? I was a bit too optimistic thinking I could finish the comics in just two months -.- I wasn’t sure if I should label it as AU or not, since it feels like an extended headcanon of the normal universe. If anyone comes up with a good name or something like that, I might change it.
The comic is pretty simple, but I think it represents ghosting perfectly, don’t you agree? :P
