The front page of R/undertale
Ever since Undertale started gaining traction- which was like a few hours after its release -the fandom has been turning out AUs left and right: some good, some meh, and some just plain awful.
Somehow Underswap fits under all three categories. Now don’t get me wrong, Underswap is an interesting idea when done right, but very little people seem to be able to. Now I’m sure everyone knows what the basics of Underswap is, everyone swaps roles and personality. Now the first is interesting, but once you introduce the second element, Underswap loses all originality.
Lets use Sans and Papyrus for example here. If you have them swap roles, not only do you have to think how they’re canon self would act, but also how and why they ended up in that place along with how it would effect them. However, when you have them swap personalities as well, it loses all interest.
Instead of the question being how would Sans act in Papyrus’s role, it’s now how Sans would act in Papyrus’s role if he also had his personality too. Well, exactly like Papyrus would.
See what I mean? You won’t be adding anything by having Underswap being both a role and personality swap. All you’re doing is creating a re skin of Undertale. Now not everyone does this and there are some good underswap stories and comics such as the ASK!MTTBlook blog that I really like mainly due to how they portray their characters and even though it isn’t exactly Underswap, but it has the same general idea, Storyshift. I’m not talking about the good ones though, I’m talking about the most popular and bland version of Underswap.
The one where people think by having US!Sans eat tacos and say myeh heh heh instead is somehow original. Why tacos? Why not hot dogs?
Anyways, there’s my rant, I have a few other problems with Underswap, but pretty much it all ties back to that idea. Well peace out
So we already got like Underfell, underwap, outerswap and PTAtale. Might as well add to the pile Slamtale: if you smell what the great papyrus is cooking Jamtale: get dunked on *slams Chara's head into the basket* Underweed: like, do you want to have a bad time I guess Jerrytale: everyone is Jerry

Nah man, the evidence is as solid as snow. Both Sans and Ness can teleport so clearly- oh shit, Nightcrawler can teleport too. Sans=Ness=Nightcrawler confirmed. Also Jack Skelleton and Papyrus are both skeletons so clearly they’re the same person.
But in all seriousness though, this has to be the dumbest, illogical and loosely connected theory Mattpat has ever thought of. If he wanted to connect Undertale to Earthbound he could of without shoehorning in something that sounds like it came from r/shittyfantheories
game theory is suggesting that sans is in fact ness and i can’t even
My name is Papyrus the great and I am the coolest skeleton alive. To the outside world, I’m an ordinary sentry, but with the help of Undyne and my brother, Sans, I train to become a member of the royal guard. One day, I will capture a human and fulfill my dreams. I am Coolskeleton95

I really wish y'all wait till you actually read the epilogue rather than ranting about leaks, untranslated pages, and shitty translations before complaining. Stop basing your opinions on BNHA solely through leaks. You want to complain about MHA's ending? Fine, go ahead, but do so after you actually read it. I swear to Fuck, it feels like half of y'all don't even read the Manga and just base your opinion off what others say online.
here my stupid ass talk and complain about stupid ass shit. I'm probably gonna piss a few, a lot, most, everyone with the shit that spews out of my mouth.
