i was walking my way out of the building and saw this dude wearing all kinds of headwear irl EXACTLY LIKE ONE OF MY SANSCIETY MEMBERS TM!SANS (Troublemature) so i was like "NIRF MY SON IS THAT YOU-"
Troublemature is an AU where Chaos rules the Surface. Toriel is the spotlight of the AU and has to look after a lot of naughty children not following rules and breaking things. Gaster is also alive but seems to have caused Sans and Papyrus' behavior. Humans are trapped underground and Monsters are causing anarchy.
im gonna color another time

Today is the day I joined the Undertale Fandom. That day has made me spark the many AUs you read on the bio. If I didn’t join the fandom today, I wouldn’t have these 20+ sets of AUs, and I wouldn’t care much about Undertale’s presence. So thank you, JSE, and Toby Fox, for making a jumpstart for my adolescence a better experience in the past for the now and future. My final moments of childhood was this game alone.
Just want to upload this because of my improvement of the second attempt of drawing Sans and Papyrus…
HELP I JUST GOT ADDICTED TO A GAME EVERYONE KNOWS JUST RELEASED 2 MONTHS AGO AND I WATCHED MARK AND JACK PLAY IT NOW I JUST GOT WORST *turns caps off* by going on youtube and looking at Undertale comics…this is my 5th favorite…
My AU so far
1. MLP
2. FNAF
3. DF
4. We Bare Bears
5. Undertale (NEW)
Anyway, this is made with paint BECAUSE my mom took away my ipad, along with the tumblr app and the Autodesk Sketchbook app (nooooo! That’s where I usually draw to upload stuff here!) but I still have my other, but it doesn’t have the tumblr app. That’s why I haven’t been uploading.
So uh…yeah. This picture shows Freddy staring at Sans and Papyrus that reminds him of his endoskeleton (I put a line to his bran, circled it, and drew the endoskeleton’s close-up face. You can see it in front of the AAAA! speech bubble.) I think he’ll get it over when he figures out the skele-bros’ personality and their bad puns. I wasn’t lazy, I was too hyper to draw, that’s why it’s sloppy…
Dialogue if you can’t read:
NEW AU
Sans: Yo?
Papyrus: WHAT IS THAT?
Freddy: … O_O *thinks about his endoskeleton*
Animatronics (shocked and scared): AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! *SKREEEEE*

I just realized my AUs have to do with broad subjects
Sans Society???
way too deep here...
—
undernet!sans 👁🗨 - Organization - Group
antispy!sans 👓 - Controversy - Fandom
troublemature!sans 🧢 - Stereotypes - Inspiration
backshift!sans 🏀 - Prejudice - Assumption
sockboss!sans 🏸- Pride - Motivation
peersure!sans 🧦- Influence - Youth - Generation Z
—
wonder where this is heading? gathering from this...
im more scared for antispy and troublemature. they both have to do with Chaos (TM) and Order (AS) on their surfaces
for backshift, not really. thats just trauma poking the sans’ head so he can be alert to kill frisk. undernet is the opposite, already used to the routine and even shares it to his followers (which is messed up, he posts ketchup posts and doesnt even put gore warnings, bad sans >:( )
sockboss has to do with trying to stay positive, but then get carried away and end up flexing so hard until you realize your self-centered actions. sans isnt a deal here, he knows when to snap out of it and care for others. he just acts arrogant to look confident, just like classic papyrus.
lastly, my recent peersure!sans who claims himself as the memelord among the other sanses i made. he’s kinda like backshift, but he gets pressured when meeting humans, and even gets a distorted view of humans, somewhat assuming what they’re gonna do next. but then, he gets the influence— the internet slang, the adaption, the phrases, the quotes, the memes— he gets it all and registers it in his mind like a follower to be like Gen Z, so when meeting a human or monster he’ll say “so um chile anyway”

Troublemature!Sans cause my head has been thinking about him
Here’s what I have for Nirf so far. mask or nerd could be writing this but no its me jsjsj
feel free to meet the character
--
he’s very quiet and focused at home. He does hobbies in his room while others do their thing. He’s very talented and his motor skills are well. When someone interrupts, he’s completely chill. He can be surprised when someone touches his ticklish spots. He does have emotions, despite the eyemask shades he wears.
Emotion talk time cause he can remind you of Fresh.
He has a facade like him, wears a propeller hat, sneakers, but he doesn’t express well on emotions. He sounds mostly, “anxiously happy” when meeting people. Exclamation points are very common.
When overwhelmed by the environment around him and gets harassed enough by something or others, he’ll be sad and let it out before being his anxious self again. He does cry in his sleep, cause Prince Flowey is in it.
He tries his best to control his Disgust reactions, he knows that’s not a mature act to do, and does succeed unless it gets stressful.
So, it is like Fresh’s emotion. Fear.
He ruminates all the time in his head. No matter what he does, the thoughts worsen. He doesn’t want Flowey around. He sees visions of Flowey sometimes when talking to other people, and that’s the most challenging part. Meeting Nightmare, he’d tell on the whole underground and panic. That’s why hobbies and being alone is his thing. Both are not enough to keep him calm.
He can barely feel Anger, the closest you can get is Disappointed, Upset, and Confused. He can’t snap, but he can give advice and presentable feedback.
He’ll even try to sound presentable. Why?
Moving on to the speech development.
He isn’t good at speaking. Gaster ordered him to not say pronouns at all. A way to avoid blame and conflict, and that did trigger Catty and Bratty to brag about the broad subject of LGBT. But, because of the extreme awareness of Prince Flowey, Sans will point and blame others when he can’t take the trouble he sees anymore. He can’t pronounce 4 or more syllables, so that’s not matured and should teach him how to say words that have those. fortunately, it’s rare hearing him say 3 syllables and common to hear 1st POV pronouns (I/my/you). He mostly speaks in 1-2 syllables when attempting to be nice. His tone is very happy when on the inside he’s thinking of questions, catastrophes, and worst-case scenarios. His tone can sound scared when threatened. When acting mature, the tone sounds upset.
In-game events, he remembers timelines. He remembers Frisk doing these paths: Slowing down the chaos, Increase conflicts, or both. Sans is mostly on the “increase conflicts” side. He doesn’t want Flowey to appear. But, after killing him? There he is. Prince Flowey, ready to take your soul.
FACCS
he’s really good at making RC cars, radio-controlled cars, He can repair things that are broken, he has many talents.
He knows how to heal, but it’s for himself only. Toriel and Asgore taught the children, not just Sans, how to heal after doing trouble.
while trying to be the mature guy he is, he does do unwanted pranks and causes unnecessary trouble to keep Flowey away. It’s from the influence under other people. He knows what he does is not mature, but he could care less about the past actions he did.
Bored is never a feeling when you need to think what to do next and cause trouble.
He knows how to brush off the past and move on. flowey is the only past memory he keeps bringing up. If you acted mean to him and did something, he’ll try to pretend he doesn’t know you, calling you “Flowey”. He fails and able to forgive you easily.
He calls you “Flowey” cause he doesn’t know you yet. He doesn’t care if you’re a bad person or not, you’re simply seen as Flowey. Extreme trust issues.
He knows being rude and arrogant isn’t good but does it anyway. Shows off his creations and interrupts others.

Undertale AU Ludography
I’d like to formerly unveil to you… the AU Ludography! It’s essentially a listing all of the Undertale AUs with release dates and links to the original blogs/closest thing.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DhzMzPNJ7jG1qv163OSKrnSc1jEawkFO2E0q9S7hNlA/edit?usp=sharing
The idea is to expand this list as time goes on, so if anyone has a AU to suggest to the archive, please send them through here.

About Motivatedtale
.:Contents:.
.:Author’s Note:.
.:Summary/Idea:.
.:Characters:.
Motive
Unmotivated
.:Stray Facts and Resources:.
FAQ
Rules
.:Inspiration:.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.:Author’s Note:.
Hey, so I’ve noticed this a long time ago but I’m just now confronting it since I got my computer fixed- it seems pretty impossible to reach the “About Motivatedtale” on mobile, even with the literal LINK to the page (I could only sort of access it through some loopholes in a browser- and the link just took me to my Tumblr instead), so I wanted to compile the information that’s in there into a post for any mobile users who may follow this blog. I’ve got more followers here than my art blog– so even if there’s not much interaction each post, I think there’s at least a few people who might not have access to an about page here. Changes are very likely to be made and things will be added occasionally :)
.:Summary/Idea:.
“Have you ever wondered what happens to creations when a creator gives up?”
Motivatedtale is essentially an abandoned AU with no finished story or a plot. Which, ironically, not having a story is the story itself. It’s a tale about how the lack of motivation (along with other things like self doubt and lack of interest) in a Creator leaves a story unfinished, and with no reason to exist, no story, the AU is crumbling into nothingness, as it is being forgotten by the only one who knows about its existence- the Creator. However, there’s two characters in it that have to deal with that burden of having no ending or reasons to exist. And they’re completely aware of what’s going on.
At least, the first one that was created is aware, because they were made to be that way. They inform the only other character (Frisk/Motive) about all of this when they meet. They’re a Sans of course (which is sort of a self aware joke because a lot of people either start with the Sans of an AU when creating characters, subtly revolve around a Sans of an AU in a story, or the entire story literally and shamelessly revolves around a Sans. This is not an attack on anyone). This Sans goes by Unmotivated, and is quite bitter about existing.
These characters have no finished story, no destiny, and no purpose. Being self aware of this can be a great burden on hope and happiness; ignorance is bliss, after all.
What the AU would’ve been if it was “completed” is unsure.
How the story ends is not fully decided or meant to be disclosed (for now), but even if this AU is finished or not, it is already technically complete. It symbolizes a project that is given up on; a project that is abandoned, and what would happen if the characters in these types of projects were conscious about this- if our ideas existed somewhere out there, somewhere where our decisions, intentional and unintentional, have a serious affect.
So, if this AU is abandoned, it’ll be quite ironic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.:Characters:.
Motive
Motive is the Frisk of this AU, and one of only two characters that are in this AU. Motive was created after Unmotivated, but the coloring of their design was given up on towards the very end. Their sweater is unfinished because the creator gave up on them due to being overwhelmed with empty and destructive thoughts, but the outline/shape is still there. The sleeve usually is never shaded/effected by light.
Motive is an optimist, and believes that their AU will one day be finished. They have the soul of motivation, which is outwardly visible and tied to the loose hanging strap of their overalls. They don’t have preferences in pronouns (though they/them is usually the default), and calling them by any pronoun is fine (she/he/they/it..it really doesn’t matter, honestly).
Motive acts impulsively a lot of times and does not think of the consequences of their actions…or, they do, but they choose to move forward with their actions anyways. Since optimism is one of their key traits and it’s exaggerated and simplified in their character and logic, it can result in some bad outcomes. The same goes for their impulsitivity. They’re not that serious natured, and act more like a child than a young adult (despite being 18). However, they do make a lot of (sometimes unnerving) jokes that could be considered uncomfortable, but they mean no harm. While Motive is quite intelligent and empathetic, they’re distracted quite easily and might say or do inappropriate things during certain situations.
Since Motive is technically a new character and was not fully developed by their Creator (backstory, powers, etc), their underdevelopment as a character is actually a big part of their development as a character.
(More is to be added later)
Unmotivated
The Sans of the AU, and the first ever character created (which again is poking fun of the idea that people usually start with the Sans of the AU for characters). Unmotivated is bitter and cynical towards his existence and his Creator, and is completely aware of the multiverse and AU Creators. A big fourth wall breaker. He’s apathetic, bored and often paints himself as emotionless and uncaring to hide any hurt/feelings of helplessness. He bottled them away a long time ago.
At first, Unmotivated was hopeful about his AU, but he was alone for an unspecified but long amount of time in his AU, and was driven to toxicity and bitterness during that time. He’s seen his universe grow, halt, and then slowly deteriorate- he has seen new ideas come and go, and is helpless to stop the rampant decay of his universe- his home- his story. He’s overall a pretty lonely character.
When or why he got the nickname “Unmotivated” is unclear- but it’s definitely supposed to be a pun. He hates the name but finds it funny and ironic at the same time.
Unmotivated’s soul is held by a string that is woven into his rain coat. He considers this to be poor design choice but doesn’t really do anything to fix it. He often keeps his soul in his pocket for safe keeping.
(More is to be added later)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.:Stray Facts:.
• The AU resets (sort of like an update) each time a new idea is added. This is how Unmotivated is generally aware of Motive when they’re created.
• The “Creator” resembles anyone who has abandoned or given up on their projects or ideas. This isn’t meant to put people that do this in a negative light.
•The white of Motive’s sleeve isn’t meant to be shaded since it’s “incomplete.”
FAQ
(most are from amino since not many people ask here)
- What was the AU supposed to originally be before it was abandoned?
This is undecided and left up for interpretation. However, based off of the design of the current characters, it can be safely assumed that the AU was supposed to be more lighthearted and cutesy. There are random bits and ideas spread throughout the AU that give glimpses to what it could’ve been.
- Can I draw fanart of these characters?
Of course! I’d be honored to receive fanart and would love to see it! Just please keep things appropriate if you do.
- Is Ink Sans or Core Frisk going to be in the comic?
No.
I’ve gotten asked this several times, and the answer is no. Doing this would completely ruin the theme and point I’m trying to get across with this comic. This story revolves around a Creator and their Creations, and there will be no other characters made by other people.
- Are Motive and Unmotivated shipped together?
NO.
It’s fine as a joke but please realize they aren’t. This isn’t an AU centered around romance and would distract from the goal of the comic if I had that. While I’m not anti-frans in any sense, I still don’t want it in my comic.
- How often do you plan on updating the comic?
Each page is published whenever I finish it nowadays due to stress of a schedule. I post them in bulks of 2-3 on amino and twitter, and whenever I finish the page on deviantart, instagram and here.
- Is the Creator a character?
Yes, and no. The Creator represents not only myself, but any artist that has struggles putting their creations out there due to insecurities or other causes. They’re more symbolic and fluent rather than a structured and identified character. Of course though, if there is any introduction of the Creator, I would have to give them some sort of design- and I do have general ideas of what they’d look like. However, they’re still supposed to represent a broader group of people than just myself.
- What does Unmotivated think about other AUs/Sanses?
Unmotivated has an apathetic mindset when it comes to AUs and other characters like him. He’s incredibly self aware and sees a much bigger picture. He knows characters are just pawns to their creator, and won’t get fazed by any story. Sort of like watching actors in a movie while constantly reminding yourself that they’re just actors. However, he is quite envious of anyone with a complete and happy storyline, since that’s something he lacks but yearns the most. That’s something he wish he had.
Keep in mind Unmotivated and Motive cannot interact or travel outside of their AU, and no one can interact with their AU except the editor/creator.
Rules
• Please do not publicly RP with these characters unless given permission. This might be changed after more of the comic is complete, but I do not want these character’s personalities to be strewn.
• Please do not draw or write NSFW with my characters– I am a minor, and a large part of my audience are also minors.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.:Inspiration:.
Alright, this part is going to be a lot less formal and more personal. The idea for this AU came from my own self doubt and self destructive attitude as a creator. Doubting my own works and ideas has seriously held me back for a long time, and it STILL holds me back as I’m sure it has for many, MANY other creators like me. Musicians, artists, writers.. Almost all of us have that fear of trying out a new idea or making something you usually wouldn’t. Almost all of us have felt that crushing self doubt when you see someone better than you, and you tell yourself you’ll never be like them, your art will never be that great, you’ll never get that far…so on, so on.
So, while I was trying to come up with an idea for an AU (which I had actually been considering for well over a year), the thoughts crept in.
“no one will like this”
“there’s enough AU’s”
“you’re unoriginal”
“this is a waste of time”
“the fandom is dying”
“you have horrible character designs”
“AU’s are overrated”
“this doesn’t fit your audience”
“people will judge you”
“you never finish anything”
“this is stupid”
“your art isn’t good enough”
“you’re not good enough”
“someone probably already came up with this idea”
“no one cares about your idea”
“no one would bother with your art”
And ironically, all these thoughts gave me this idea.
Even so, these thoughts have still been nagging me every time I even try to work on this, and it’s been taking a lot of courage to take on the heap of anxiety I have over something so harmless. I didn’t join the Undertale fandom for over a year simply because I was afraid of being judged for my interests,, fun fact. Never thought I’d be able to make an AU. I’m still quite nervous posting art of anything that isn’t Mario related for some reason.
Putting all this to side though, I find the concept of what happens to unfinished and/or abandoned stories and projects interesting, especially if there’s an alternate reality that’s actually effected by your decisions. Kinda like you’re a god. I mean, imagine what it would be like if you had a creator and they just gave up on you, and you’re left with no purpose. Seems like it would suck, haha.
So that’s basically my AU, Motivatedtale. If you have any thoughts or questions, I’d love to hear them. Thanks for reading if you did!

How do you feel about some big AU’s getting rid of the concept of roles?
I’ve been mulling over this for some time and I think I have an answer that I can be happy with.
Short answer: It’s their work and they can do things differently. It doesn’t affect me in any way. I have no reason to feel negative about this, so I’ll wish for them the best in their production. However I can understand why some would choose to toss the idea of roles aside when there isn’t a clear consensus on what a “role” is.
For example, Prince Papyrus is in the role originally held by Toriel. While he does teach the player/reader the mechanics of the game and care for the residents of the first area, he does so in his own style and very few scenes play out exactly the same as they do in Undertale since he and Toriel are two very different characters. Add in some backstory as a side effect of other changes in the AU and Prince Papyrus gives off a very different feeling despite the same role.
And yet, some people see that Papyrus shares the same role as Toriel and make a ton of assumptions based on how Toriel acts in Undertale despite it making no sense for Papyrus to act that way or for the plot to go this way. I’ve seen people say Papyrus and Sans were wife and husband (?!?) and Mettacrit + Napstablook were their kids (!?!?!?). For some people, that’s what a role means and it can be very frustrating to constantly try and correct people that INSIST that this project acts the same way when it clearly doesn’t.
I’ve distanced myself from the part of the fandom that refuses to do any research in favor of making a story that those that pay attention will enjoy. That’s my choice. Other people make different choices based on these events and that’s fine. These projects are for fun after all. If it’s not fun the way it’s currently being done, then by all means change it up or make something in the past more clear. More power to them.

wait okayyyy but where did the undertale gang go-
imagination: they’re gonna be NPCs and napstablook is a anxious king and mettaton is toriel

me: Good choice!
Dogbass is when she comes up, walking to the player as she follows along with Doggo. When her husband states first, she states second line in parentheses.
Why, I like that she knows... how to pun! Snowdrake’s gotta have her as a companion if ever he needs help to become a comedian. Dogaressa, champion with doggo for best nuzzles, she’s pawsome!
Shes the one who said “identify yourschmelf!”
Current pacifist title: Finally No. 1 Nuzzle Nose Champion
(and yes i should’ve done this briefly, couldnt help it ahaha)
after typing that:
OH NO
NO
NO
N O
my imagination and creativity fusing another fuckin AU:
