Holy Shit That's An Amazing Take.

holy shit that's an amazing take.

also I love the textures in your art.

Hm, technically not TAU related but I'm just kinda curious. Where did the uh eye thing (my mind is blanking on the word rn) is indicative of gender thing come from? I just think the idea is neat is all.

partly from my ass, partly from fandom tropes, partly from canon!

unfortunately i can't really provide examples of fanon because it's been a while since i've seen this floating around, but i know there at least USED to be a pretty big trope towards genderbending all the skeleton AU characters (or even just making original skeleton OCs that were female). the biggest way people chose to portray these characters was usually presentation - their bodies would be exactly the same as the OG sanses, just with maybe ecto and/or eye makeup.

all i did was take that further, because in my mind, it made sense!

Hm, Technically Not TAU Related But I'm Just Kinda Curious. Where Did The Uh Eye Thing (my Mind Is Blanking

the majority of canonically female monsters in the game are flat as washing boards, not a single titty in sight - maybe except the slightest of pec-bumps if you really squint - with only 2 notable exceptions that i could find, that being catty and the snowdin shopkeeper:

in fact, if you want to be pedantic...

king fluffybuns has more titty than his fucking wife xD

to me, the presence of boobage on catty, the snowdin shopkeeper and asgore proves that toby and temmie WERE VERY CAPABLE of drawing tits if they wanted to - which means that the lack of tits on the other characters was not an error, it was simply a design choice.

additionally, i believe that it's mostly just anthropomorphic monsters that are revealed to be women in the first place - "lesser" monsters all have completely identical sprites and, if memory serves, most of them are only ever really referred to as "it" or "they". (admittedly, i don't have the patience to go through every profile in the wiki to make sure, so take that with a little salt.) and while that could be just unreliable narration, i'm not here to beat the meta horse to death; i'm taking the information that i see at face value and running with it. and the information that i see is that there isn't a huge amount of sexual dimorphism in the vast majority of monsters, especially when you count non-anthropomorphic ones, which - again, focusing on what we actually see in-game - far outnumber their humanoid counterparts.

instead, you mainly tell what gender the characters are by the way they dress and their eyes - which usually have longer lashes, even if they're not wearing makeup like the shopkeep is. if nothing else, you might be forced to tell by their name or just by the game's narration. so in that case, we - or i, at least - know that most monsters in the underground go by "they" or "it", and not only is strongly gendered presentation already pretty fucking rare, when you get it, it's mostly in people just... dressing the way they want to be called. that's it.

to me, that fits in perfectly with the trope of female skeletons just having makeup or some ecto. they're telling people that they're female because that's how they want to be called; if they didn't put that effort in, other monsters would probably default to "it". like so:

and then when you introduce AU tomfoolery, of course, you can also get situations like this, where more nuance needs to be considered:

NOW we're cookin'.

THE MEANIE!! I hate him. He's evil /srs

I'm trying out different looks for him. His name is Rage I think? not sure yet.

Anyway, he is wildly inspired by "Brutus".

He's the type to kill your mom and dad and make a fur lined coat from them.

I think he's gonna get savepoint/continue powers.

(Give me more ideas p pliz)

I. on one hand I very much love this whole idea, you've got a good thing going for yourself, and with a bit of fiddling you could AO3 this yourself, but uh. I didn't expect soul sexy time with Fresh :sob:

Please tag next time....

Anyway, love it! I might doodle something later, idk.

oh, also, it's funny how your version of Fresh is actually not emotionless from the start. In the original lore, Fresh is totally and entirely disconnected from "feelings", except for one; fear.

Fear turns to dread, as he is suddenly made aware of his place in the multiverse as a *prey*, a *toy* who's entire existence solely rests on the willingness of a chosen few to allow him to exist. And when he feels that dread, he finally puts a word to that feeling he has of caring for Pacifrisk and a few others. Enough to want them to not be infected by his own freshness.

It's surprising to see you deviate so heavily from this, but in a nice way!

Haiii!! :D

I just wanted to say I love your newest fic and its preview comic, it feeds my hunger not only for Fresh content, but from the perspective of his host no less, that's also friendly towards him! (LunaMiuna guest account in ao3 comments is indeed me btw) It resembles my own daydreams about Fresh except in place of Epic is my skeleton OC, Arial. I can ramble to you all about them if you want, as well as my new parasite OC akin to Fresh! Would you want that? •v•? No pressure tho-

Also, I really like your portrayal of Fresh. Loved that cold and uncaring yet chill and friendly attitude, it's so fresh, hehe. :>

Oh my, thank you! I replied to all your comments, by the by ;)

Fresh is indeed pretty chill.

Hey, if you like my writing, why not check out the other things Solis and I have been writing and posting?

As Solis is on break for a few more days, there won't be any updates to Yet Another Parasite, but the other two are still updating as I have more things to correct and eventually post.

It could give you a lot of context to what the hell the setting for their multiverse is too, and heck, I like your comments :')

Speaking of comments, I'm gonna be using a lot of comments to make the Creator's little speeches during the fics...

Thanks again for correcting my little 4 am fuckups.

Oh, and-- Cross' trauma will make much more sense when Yet Another Battle catches up to his part of the plot more. Yet Another Mistake is Dusk and Fatal as a pair (Dusk is my baby boy I could rant about him to you if you'd like).

As for your OC, hells yeah, rant!

Dusk is so pretty.

This made me want to draw his ecto properly, so I might do a renaissance style painting (not really I suck at painting) about it. But uh. Later. Right now I'm doodling other people's characters!!!!!
