I Just Read All Of BTA And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

THE TATTERED TARP...

Im currently editing UnderAnger, and as a sort of stamp of approval I add pictures to the beginning of second-pass edited chapters. Not fully done yet, but when I am, this drawing will go at the front of chapter 9, The Tattered Tarp.

Before the Anger- episode 48, "Looooong Story (pt. 4)"

((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.))

This, coincidentally, was posted around Valentine's day! I didn't make a special for it because I forgot, but let's pretend this was the special.

Before the Anger- episode 31, "Mood"

Alphys had an anime moment

((“I do know somebody who recently became a caretaker.” Undyne continued, “He's one of the sweetest, most understanding people I've ever met. He's been having trouble even finding somebody to take care of since most children, y’know, run. Kinda like what you're doing.” Elaine sighed, “Okay… and who's this ‘wonderful person’?”))

Before the Anger- episode 45, "Loong Story (pt. 1)"

((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.))

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.

New animation just dropped!

I wanted to practice lip syncing, so I took a short bit of a song I'm working on and made a little animation! Its very sketchy and unfinished, but "clean" wasn't my goal anyway. This was actually a very helpful practice!

If you know anything about my music (for the majority of you, probably not lol) you might recognise this tune. I like to reuse bits of my music in other songs as a call-back, at least when its in a series or album. In this case, this is Sans's song, but I used some of Nimiee's theme "No Exception" because these two interact a lot in this song. (I'm currently in the process of making theme songs for all of the characters in Before the Anger)

This is nowhere near the final version of the song, by the way! I'm just a very slow composer.

Notes below cut :)

Im still new to animation and, despite producing music for almost 2 years now, have yet to make something that sounds professional lol. I am a trained soprano 1 with a naturally alto-ish range, but I tend to make songs with a higher range. Therefore, this tenor range song is quite a challenge 😅

In this animation, some of the original lyrics change meaning. Near the end of Nimiee's verse, the lyrics change to red, and instead of Toriel being the one to help, it is Asriel. Of course, Sans is his normal pessimistic self. But, instead of calling Nimiee a stupid child- like he usually does- the scene changes to show a mirror. Tsk tsk. Are we projecting, Sans?

Most of the themes so far have two versions; a casual, lighthearted one; and a heavy, sad one. However, I don't think I will be giving Sans a lighthearted version of his song. What will I be doing with these themes? Possibly... a comic dub...?

SEASON TWO Table of Contents:

WARNING: all of the previous warnings also apply to season 2, with the addition of themes like: body dysmorphia and alcohol. But we ain't here yet.

Ah, what an episode. Dr. Parsnik is really something, isn't he? (a sadist i believe is the term...)

I might have to post what his design, and Lepi too. Maybe I won't. Idk!

How do you imagine them? I'm very interested. They are (I think?) The only major characters in the UA universe that have never had their designs publicly revealed. It would be interesting to see how different people imagine them ?

Runaway got caught!

Based off Ch.18 of @bri-jo-g Underanger ;)

YOU JUST REMINDED ME THAT I DIDN'T MAKE A COMIC FOR MOTHERS DAY YO...

Happy Mothers Day!!

Thought It’ll be perfect to Draw some Siqua and Undyne Bonding!!!
