First Time Using Tumblr! I Like Making Comics And Am Currently Working On A Prequel To My Undertale AU

Before the Anger- episode 36, "Apologies."

I didn't mean to give Gaster sass in his final panel. Please. Don't be like my friend and thirst over him. I deeply regret and apologize for what I've done.

((--So she was. All through the process of being assigned the caretaker, people looked right at her and called her “Elaine.” She’d never felt such a feeling before. All the way to Papyrus’s house, hearing the door open, seeing his face; he smiled and said, “Elaine, it’s nice to meet you!”))

Hey Papyrus is in this side story! He's my favorite

WHAT THIS IS SO GOOD

It's actually kinda crazy how in-character this is! Some of these concepts were things I was thinking about adding into the comic!

Another BTA fan comic!!

(BTA is by @bri-jo-g)

This took way longer then i thought, i was originally going to add a second page but uhh maybe another day. Here’s what they would say.

Alphys: F-Fascinating?

Siqua: I find it fascinating on how the brain works! Why people act the way they act, learn things about them!

Alphys: Oh wow! I never s-seen you this um excited about anything! N-no offense, of course!

Siqua: None Taken! I guess it’s easier to enjoy something when you don’t have to worry about deadlines and work.

Alphys: I guess that makes sense

Siqua: And I’m not saying I don’t like my Job. I love it, it pays well, I have great friends, and I discover so much! However—If something does happen, I’ll have something to bounce back on!

Before the Anger, episode 7- "Bring-Your-Kid-to-Work Day"

Note- sorry for not posting yesterday!! I think I'll double upload today to balance it out. In this ep we meet Undyne (who is still pretty radioactive but i fix her colors later in the series) and enter a new room: the judgement hall.

Character designs at this early in the comic are pretty inconsistent, but I'm getting the hang of it now. I might post their character sheets later.

Before the Anger side story:

"((She had no Appetite.))"

This is the first relevant side story in BTA. It follows Chara as she first entered the underground and her fear of monsters.

Click "keep reading" to read the full side story :)

(1) Chara had no appetite. She stared at Toriel in the kitchen, who hummed a song and bounced on her feet as she crossed to the stove. The same confusion every time. Chara counted the seconds it took for Toriel to remember that her fire magic no longer worked. Exactly six. Toriel laughed to herself and turned to Chara. “Hey, sweetie, would you like to help me in the kitchen?” Chara knew exactly what was going through Toriel’s mind. “Family bonding”

(2) Chara decided to humour Toriel and joined her in the kitchen. She even pretended to smile and said, “Sure, Mother.” and seeing Toriel’s face light up made Chara’s smile genuine. What a stupid woman. Chara stood beside Toriel, looking up into her piercing eyes. Being this close to such a creature made Chara’s hands tremble, so she made a tight fist. 

(3) “Here, child, you can cut up the carrots!” Toriel offered Chara a knife with a big smile. Chara’s hands felt ice cold; the knife, the sharp edges catching the light; Toriel’s disgusting, monstrous grin; her claws grasping the handle. Chara raised a hand to her mouth to cover her disgust and rushed out of the kitchen without a word. Toriel watched her leave, a confused tilt in her head.

(4) That night, Chara didn’t eat. Or the next, or the night after that. Toriel and Asgore were concerned, but being that they didn’t know much about humans, they had assumed Chara had a different diet. And in any case, the other monsters were getting curious about Chara’s existence and wanted answers, so they arranged a QnA at the castle- with Chara’s permission, of course. 

(5) Today was the day of the QNA. Chara calmed her nerves and looked out on the crowd full of horrible creatures. She had no appetite. Her stomach ached. Her hands twitched. Her mouth curled into a sickening grin. As she approached the monsters, Asriel finally caught up to her side, out of breath. “Are you excited?” Asriel asked, an innocent squeak in his voice. Chara stroked his soft ear. 

(6) Suddenly, Chara felt puny and defenseless against the towering, snarling, grinning monsters. They clawed for answers. Chara’s own breath suffocated her. She could hardly feel her feet as they sprinted toward any semblance of safety. But every corner was unknown, full of terrible surprises. Chara collapsed, finally, on a secluded ledge in Waterfall, curled into a ball of sobs and fear.

(7) Chara heard something behind her and jolted to attack. The second before her fist was about to land, she pulled away. It was only Asriel. Asriel was shaken, but continued toward her anyway, his eyes large with surprise. “Why’d you run away, Chara?” Chara caught her breath, soothed by his childish voice. 

(8) “It’s hard to… to be the only one of your kind in a big, scary new world. Can you imagine if you landed in a world with only humans, no friends?” Chara explained. Asriel paused for a moment, then sat down in front of her. “You have me! We are friends, right?” Asriel held his breath as he waited for Chara’s response. Chara smiled and pet Asriel, “Yeah. It’s just you and me against the world, buddy.”

(9) Toriel searched for Chara and Asriel, the worst in her mind. She worried this would happen, with Chara skittish behavior around other monsters. Finally, Toriel found them in Waterfall. When she asked what happened, Asriel stood up and said “Chara and I wanted to go for a swim.” Toriel furrowed her brow. Asriel was only six years old, he had never lied to her before. Asriel clutched Chara’s sleeve with a nervous smile.

THEORY THEORY THEORY!!! I love the attention to the timeline!!!!

I looked at the bonus art thinking I wouldn't be traumatized. I was wrong. Equivalent of a Rick roll. /j

A small theory/Observations I have for BTA (by: @bri-jo-g)

I personally think that Siquas Former Husband died when their house got burnt down a while back.

During the 80s’ Siqua said that she “took herself way too seriously and that she was embarrassed” Undyne was born around 1985, since the present BTA takes place in 1994. Siqua and Gaster could have easily still been “serious partners in crime” while neglecting their own children.

However, I think that something changed in 1988, right around when Sans was born. Siqua said that her and Gaster stopped soon after Sans was born and That she lost her husband.

Undyne would have been around 3-4 years old. Just when she starts to have a mind of her own. She could have very easily wanted to cook breakfast for her parents—then the house burnt down. Siquas husband could have easily died while protecting Undyne from the flames. After that day, Siqua made it a priority to put undyne above all else and treat her like how a real mother should. It can also explain how snappy she gets at Gaster for neglecting his own kids. Because she has seen how bad it could get. Gasters lack of care could easily have him or his children killed (it didn’t but Siquas reaction is justified)

Also there’s also a scene in BTA where Papyrus almosts burns the house down while Gaster just doesn’t care.

Siqua had the Ability to Change as a Person because something terrible happened to her.

Gaster changed those feelings into a not so happy fact after the massacre

I hoped you like my rambling/theory

Bonus art!!

I wonder if I should give gaster more makeovers :3

Before the Anger, episode 4- "Yikes! Tomatoes"

note- I enjoy titling my episodes in a nonsensical fashion. Don't mind it.

Although these are old archives from my Webtoon, don't think you're getting the short end of the stick! There are actually a handful of mistakes that slipped by in some of my Webtoon episodes that I am able to fix when I post on here. For example, in one of the upcoming eps, I forgot to make Gaster's right eye bad and fixed it for Tumblr :)

Dude every time I see a drawing for my story im like "man I wanna draw something like that" so uh... If you see me post art of a water scene, this is probably why lol

And yes, Undyne is very underrated. One of my main points of both UA and BTA is to focus on the more neglected characters of the fandom. Like, Alphys is one of the coolest characters in my opinion, since she has soo much untapped potential, AND tons of her lore is referenced to in undertale, but nobody finds it interesting enough to make a story out of it? lamee. Also, a final boss Alphys (in genocide of course) would be so dope. My headcanon is that she would use machines instead of magic. Am I getting off topic?

A dramatic brawl in water fall

Been wanting to draw Papyrus and Undyne together for a bit, and now I have! Also some posing and water practice! (It also gave me excuse to mess with the lighting in a nice way hehe)

BTA like always, has always been by @bri-jo-g

Before the Anger- episode 14, "Not Ideal... :("

Note- later, there will be something I call the ((side stories)). They are little pieces of lore spread out in the notes of episodes, like these. You will be able to tell if something is a side story if they are in two parenthesis, ((like this)). But that starts on episode 22 :)

Traditional art?? From Bri Jo??? Well, there's a first for everything (aka I was bored)

Yes, spoiler character is blurred.

I drew Sans, Papyrus, and Undyne as infants/ toddlers. They are very fun to draw: I love Undyne's tiny pigtails, Sans's huge eyes, and Papyrus's huge boots.

I will not give any context or elaborate further, to avoid saying too much 😅 (good luck trying to read my handwriting, friends...)

Before the Anger, episode 5- "Determination!"

Note- these are months old. Trust me, the crudeness of these early comics goes away... After about 20 of them

Also, the top panel is the only time we see Gaster smiling without making fun of someone. Savor it lol
