Fun fact 1: you know how I said that for me physical DETERMINATION and mental determination are two different things? That actually is something canon in Undertale. Let me explain. In Legends of Localization, a book written by the translators of the game to explain the process of translating the game from english to japanese, to make the ideas clear to the translators Toby explained what exactly is determination in Undertale. This is the explanation:
So yeah, I thought it'd be fun to share, especially since many people haven't read the book. I remember watching a video of a theorist, hearing him talk about this note, and the next thing you know is that I changed my AU to include this information too. Thought it'd be nice to explain my reasoning.
Ok this is all, bye!
INK SONG WHOO!! this video took so much out of me, thanks Ink

That's so cool! Sorry if I didn't understand well, but does that mean that I can join the adventure too?!! If I can, I'll explode from the pure joy.
So, my YouTube algorithm suggested me a live of a d&d session set in the UTMV???Uh?????
Who is the genius that had the idea? How does it work? Most important of all, will there be other sessions after this one? If yes, then that's a dream come true.
Hey there! That was a combination of me and most of my discord server!
I wanted to start a DnD campaign that most in my server would enjoy, and we all usually bond over the UnderTale MultiVerse, so I created a homebrewed system based on UnderTale so we can play. (Which, if you want to use the system, you are more than welcome to do so! I just ask for credits đ)
As you watch the sessions, it comes clear you have some pacifist actions, and genocide actions. Each is tied to a soul and a primary color, determining your resource and damage for that action. Each player created their own characters and attacks, making each unique. We all started in the Omega Timeline and they got 'hired' to run genocide/pacifist runs within various AUs. It's a great way to introduce OCs to the world who wants to watch!
There will be many sessions after the previous ones, yes! The story has just begun, and it's setting up the canon lore for UnderReinado, a subsection and an AU created by Iro!Sans.
As for another campaign entirely, we will see! I hope to continue a campaign, but it ultimately depends if people want to join and if the YouTube audience likes it enough.
Thanks for your question and interest! It does mean a lot!
All hail Papyrus, the coolest skeleton in the Underground
Random Strange Facts:
Papyrus is the only character to speak without an asterisk
Papyrusâs dialogue shakes on a consistent basis when no one elseâs does
Papyrus is described as âforgettable,â something only mentioned elsewhere in context with Goner Kid and Gaster
Papyrus seems to be able to see what the player is looking at when he calls them (âTHAT BAG OF DOG FOOD LOOKS FAMILIARâŚâ)
Papyrus seems to know that MTT has eyes before MTT becomes MTT Ex
Papyrus has a total of 2184 lines in the gameâmore than any other character, and almost as much as the narrator of the game, which is at 2418 lines. The next closest character is Undyne, with 1268 total lines.
Similar wording is used to describe Papyrus as it is to describe Gaster. (Itâs rude to talk about someone whoâs listening)
Papyrusâs theme, âNyeh heh heh/Bonetrousle,â is used in all of the trailers of the game
Papyrus and Sans break the 4th wall in the stream greenlight trailer, which shocks Toriel
Papyrus flies/breaks the laws of physics casually and seemingly on a regular basis
Papyrus is one of the few characters that refers to gameplay mechanics (âPRESS [C] ON THE KEYBOARD FOR DATING HUD!â âHOLD UP LONGER TO JUMP HIGHER, JEEZ!â)
Papyrus says himself that he knows nothing about his hands because he always keeps his gloves on.
There is nothing, nothing known about his past before his showing up to Snowdin. By the end of the game and after some research, you can basically know more about Gaster and Sans than you do about Papyrus, despite him having the most dialogue in the game besides the narrator.
Papyrus has such control over his magic in his fight, that he can make his attacks do zero damage because he refuses to kill the human.
You are healed to full HP right before the Papyrus fight, as well as immediately after if you are captured.
Papyrus doesnât seem to realize that Frisk is a kid, despite Frisk wearing a striped shirt, which is a common indicator for childhood in monster society. (is he unfamiliar with common monster culture, for some reason?)
Sans reads Papyrus bed time stories on a regular basis, but Papyrus himself never seems to sleep
The Undertale Q&A that Toby Fox did for Undertaleâs anniversary revolves around Papyrus
His defense raises in the spare phase of his fight, unlike every other monster. He seems to be able to manipulate his own stats.
Relationships:
The two 4th wall breaking characters (Flowey and the Annoying Dog) seem to have a special interest in Papyrus
Annoying Dog:
Steals bone attacks on two separate occasions (Papyrus fight and aborted Genocide hangout, in which the âspecial attackâ is hinted to be Gaster Blasters)
Steals bones in general on two occasions (Under Papyrusâs sink and during the hangout with Undyne)
Eats Papyrusâs lasagna
Snuggles with Papyrus
Flowey:
Says Papyrus started a âFlowey Fan Clubâ
Says Papyrus took a long time to get boring on his repeated runs
Asks Papyrus to call Frisk before the True lab, gather everyone together before the True Ending, and probably leave a note in Alphysâ trash can
Flowey is the only one who knows Papyrusâs favorite food, which is dinosaur oatmeal (no, itâs not spaghetti. Papyrus has never eaten it.)
When Flowey attacks the group during the True Pacifist fight, he binds everyone with two vines, except Papyrusâwho he binds with four.
Sans (overlooking the bounteous brotherly goodness of the two):
Papyrus lies to him on a consistent basis
This is to probably humor Sans about his level of knowledge?
Papyrus still expects Sans to know more about Papyrus than Papyrus does himself?
Papyrus acts negatively towards Sansâs puns, but then turns around and makes the most (and arguably best) puns in the game out of anyone
Personality:
Doesnât outwardly acknowledge criticism
According to Sans, he is trash-talked a lot
May have self-worth issues
Extremely blasĂŠ about his own death
Doesnât seem to have friends, despite working very hard to get them
He phrases things in really strange ways. (âUNMANDATE IT SAFERâ)
Papyrus staunchly refuses to really hurt people, despite it being very likely that he could be just as hard or harder of a fight than Sans
He has a strong and unshakeable belief that people can change (does he know this from personal experience?)
He hates Grillbyâs and Hotland
He is an amazing artist
He considers himself a great chef, even if he doesnât necessarily eat what he cooks

Okay everyone, sorry for the radio silence but they're beating me to a pulp with all the tests and homeworks they're assigning me (yes, I frequent a lyceum), plus I'm revisioning some of my other stories and some of the character's personalities in Soulless!tale and I'm trying to make Chapter 3 a liiiiittle longer, because I feel like the others are too short. Plus every time I get inspired I write like 2 strings of dialogue and goodbye inspiration. So please be patient with me, okay? Thanks.
I am using a little OC of mine for this, since I think she really fits the Bad Sanses (ahem she's crazy ahem). We're in a scenario where she's been with the gang for a while now. There is no romanticism in this, I think it'll mainly be her interacting with the gang following the prompts. It's also a weird mix of canon and fanon. I tried my best, but beware of the cringe >_<
Bad Sansuary belongs to @owl-bones
Dust belongs to @ask-dusttale
Ashes belongs to me
Dust stared at the screen of the console with the image of game over for him for a long moment. Then he stared at the laughing mess beside him going by the name of Ashes. Then he looked back at the screen, confused and trying to figure out what just happened as Horror and Killer, who were also playing with him to the game that just ended, stared in awe and surprise at the screen as well wondering the same thing. In all of this, Ashes's screen was the only one showing the victory screen. And the little showoff was laughing her soul out at their misery
It all started with a relatively innocent series of events. Killer had challenged Dust to a round of Mario Kart 8 deluxe with a bet, Dust took it, and they spent some time playing when Horror joined as well. They had been playing for a few rounds before Ashes decided to let her presence be known... In her usual way
"Watcha doin?"
She had suddenly popped up from nowhere and jumpscared Horror by sneaking up on him while he was focused and asking him that directly to his ear. His natural reaction had been to pin her on the ground and spawn a few bones, but he got a hold of himself before butchering her head and let her go. Of course Ashes found it hilarious, but after her fit of giggles Killer explained what they were doing.
"Ohhhhh, nice. Imma join"
She sat down next to Dust, who scooted over a little, and grabbed a controller.
They spent a while choosing which of the battle modes they would play, eventually settling for Renegade roundup because Ashes was weirdly insistent on playing it for some reason. They put her in team with Horror and they called dibs to be Authorities. Dust was a little annoyed by that because despite the name, being an Authority was pretty cool, but he supposed it didn't matter since they'd swap later. Then the round started.
Immediately after, they found out she was better at the game than they predicted. She captured the other Renegades swiftly with a little help from Horror, the bots falling like flies in front of her ruthlessness, before setting off to finding and capturing Killer and Dust. She played with them like the cat and a couple of canaries, letting them go before capturing them again with a sadism Dust had seen her show only in battle. She let Killer free, but she never let him free Dust or the other Renegades and captured him only when there were only a few seconds left, leaving them staring at the screen bitterly. Then the next round came, the roles swapped, everyone got ready.
And they discovered the true reason why Ashes wanted to play this mode so much.
Throughout the entirety of the round, nor Killer or Dust managed to capture her a single time. She sprinted away right before they were going to catch her, pulling moves so incredible they didn't know how she pulled them off, teasing them by sprinting right in front of them and evading capture. Her and Horror won that round, and the round after, and all the other rounds, Ashes showing off incredible tricks just to mock them.
So at one point, they decided that she'd be playing against everyone else in the final round. They planned everything, building up an ambush, trying to guide her there and get her. They had her trapped, there were a few seconds left, Killer sprinted to get at her-
She used the feather she had in her inventory. And she jumped over him.
The game ended.
And now Dust was wondering where the heck did she learn how to play like that, but most of all he was fuming. It was clear she was just being a showoff for the entire duration of the game.
When he turned to confront her about it, she was gone
Warning for those who want to read/are reading Soulless!tale, since I've reread everything I've written and saw how poorly written it was I decided to rewrite everything, so current chapters are going through a huge editing. The first prologue already got rewritten but it might be changed again so be aware of this. Also, don't worry, I am currently working on chapter three. School drained me of all the creativity I had, but now that I'm free and I took some rest I will be more active and write more, I promise. Welp, that's all I wanted to say, so goodbye everyone.
I am Dragonflame, God of the game.
... Guess the time I spent on writing my AU is coming back to bite me.
I am Arran, god of the most important thing
