under-tale au part 1
okay so I’m kind of new to tumblr still but this felt like a good idea for my first post I need some ideas or at least some choices to pick from so I’m making currently 3 different au’s for under-tale and I need names for both the au’s and also the nicknames for the characters currently they just have some placeholders for the names and I might go with them if there aren’t any au’s with those names anyway I’ll stop stalling and just talk about the au’s this is part one I’ll post part two and three later so it’s easier to understand and take up less less space.
currently I’m calling the au Gardentale and this sans flora and the parasite is named Gaia
Garden-tale
-This au is kind of like fresh-tale but instead of the fresh parasite taking over sans it was a different kind of parasite which I still don’t have a name for but I’ve been calling it Gaia it’s kind of like the embodiment of nature and it only has like 3 goals/rules and those are to spread, grow, and nurture. sans is still mostly in control the parasite is more of like a voice and force that pushes him in the direction of doing certain things.
-The parasite doesn’t attached it self physically to the soul instead it attached itself onto sans physical it still is attached to his soul but instead of feeding off his soul it feeds of the energy that plant life around it also since the parasite is the embodiment of nature sans her more of plant magic and plant like magic his gasterblastors and bones now have some vines growing on them plus he now is able to manipulate and control plant life and instead of having mostly blue attacks he has mostly green attacks meaning that he heals himself and teammates and is able to make a magic shield when fighting in the final corridor sans eye shines with kindness and patience.
-Sans has also noticeably nicer and more willing to help others especially on the pacifist run but on the genocide run he is more distant but still seems to want to be kind to the player when alone with him he will say things like “I’m giving you a second chance here take it” or “I’m giving you an out here to fix your mistakes I suggest you take it” urging the player to reset before he will be forced to attack them of the player does take his advice and resets and doesn’t kill anyone when alone he will say to the player “thank you for making the smart decision” or “thanks for that kid it means a lot to me” this sans will invite you to grilby’s like normally but instead of drinking ketchup he will drink salad dressing or yogurt.
-Also it is notable that behind sans and papyrus’s house is a small garden that sans tends to growing different types of plants from flowers to actual vegetables and herbs and on the side of the house there are some vines growing. This sans actually has a dream of what he would want to do on the surface he wants to open his own plant shop but he still has that pessimistic outlook when it comes to the surface saying things like “but that’s just wishful thinking” or “but that’s just silly nonsense” whenever he talks about it he still cares for papyrus a lot papyrus will sometimes talk about having “such a nice/cool brother” whenever asked about sans.
-Sans has basically the same relationship with everyone as classic sans does expect he seems to be a bit closer to papyrus, alphys, and asgore. Papyrus because since this sans is a bit less lazy then classic sans and because he works a lot on his garden and magic so papyrus has began seeing sans as a nice, cool older brother and someone he can look up too. Alphys because as soon as sans got the parasite he went to alphys to see what it is she told him to come back to the lab every few weeks for checkups to see if anything changes or happens meaning that they begin talking and hanging around each other more often. Asgore because since sans is now into gardening meaning that the 2 of them bond over it and also cause sans will help take care of asgore’s flowers whenever asgore can’t.
I’ll probably update this someday to write it better but still I hope I’m able to get some ideas for the au also please do tell me if you have any questions or ideas for anything I promise I’ll try to read every idea and try to answer any questions to the best of my ability and what I have already written down and planed for this au - andromedias-star
Help with my story
Hello, I need help, I would love to know your opinion. So I'm writing a story and I want it to take place in Japan (I love learning about Japan, their history and culture and I'm a huge fan of anime) but I don't live there and I'm afraid not to do justice to life there or describe it accurately and how it might hurt people or become The story is unbelievable. Describe it accurately and how it might offend people or make the story unreliable (if you understand me...). So I considered doing it in another country but I live in America (or have ever been there) and the story wouldn't fit in my country. What should I do? please help me!
Fic help
there was this story i read years ago and dont even know if the author is still active but it was with yoongi and namjoon and basically the reader is the last of the friend group to graduate high school and yoongi and namjoon both decide to sleep with the reader so that way she isnt used/disappointed when she goes to college.
Story help!!
technically two stories 😅
both are on AO3
story one: reader moves into a house with some friends and walks to a gas station and runs into yoongi-who she calls a cat. it's a real cute -kinda angsty- strangers to friends to lovers story. i know it's completed and even had actual drawings throughout.
story two: reader is friends with bts but they all vanished into some mystical realm in the forest and they (bts) have superpowers and erased all the memories from the town they came from so they can live in this realm but the reader comes across a box filled with stuff that proves that they existed and goes to the realm to find them all. i know this one wasn't finished- at least in ao3. i believe it was heavily implied to be btsxreader instead of one member and reader
thank you in advance!!
five steps for not writing a boring story? i can never ever write something that doesn't end up boring 😂
Hiya! Thanks for your question. Writing an engaging story is complicated, but it can be done.
First off, there are so many aspects to writing a gripping story. Honestly, it can’t be done in five steps (and certainly not in one blog post). To prevent a boring story you need strong characters, an exciting plot, good pacing… the list goes on and on.

Can someone give me ideas to start a warrior cats OC story? It's about an island/forest where all the cats have powers (healing, super strength, super speed, etc.) and the main character has an ability no one else has ever had: fire. (They hide it out of fear.)
Any ideas will help!
