Now that the story is finished, we’re taking a break for the foreseeable future. Feel free to ask us any lingering questions you have about the story or our planning. There’s nothing left to spoil so everything is fair game, but no promises on when we’ll respond.

In the meantime, this is a great opportunity to binge read the whole story from the beginning!

Hello there! I haven’t seen this website for quite a while and omg I never knew the series has been completed! 

I admire all your hard work and dedication. The bittersweet-ish ending is so touching :)

I hope my little drawing of Chara is shown properly, as this is the first time submitting my art.

Salutations! I am currently trying to make my own blog about my own story, and I adore just how you set your tumblr layout to be. If you do not mind and it is not a bother, may I know how you all manage to make the layout as it is? (I am relatively new to tumblr, and I do not have experience with HTML and such. Therefore, I am extremely grateful for the help that you could offer :DD)

Hello there! Our tumblr layout is actually a modified version of our other blog, @nochocolate. The layout of nochocolate was commissioned from Tumblr layout designer extraordinaire, @estersand. All credit goes to her for the layout genius.

However, that was a long, LONG time ago and I'm not sure if Estersand is still taking commissions. I'm also not sure if custom themes on tumblr work the way they used to, since tumblr (seems?) to be moving away from custom themes and to a more standardized mobile-friendly format.

All that said, you can still access custom blog designs by going to your own blog's main page, clicking "edit appearance" (it's an icon on the top right that looks like an paint palette) and from there you'll find an option on the left panel that says "browse themes". There are a bunch of premade themes you can use and modify using the controls in that left panel. No HTML savvy required.

Just note that Tumblr HTML is kind of delicate, so save often and try not to make too many changes all at once.

Best of luck with your blog and story!

you do not need to answer this publicly. but I also forgot to mention that your fallen children designs are so fantastic as well, especially kindness. even if they were brutally murdered and then forced into a giant horrible eldritch god, they’re still in my heart.

“ I have read Death Note but I never saw the anime, so I didn’t know that Light gets red eye flashes! “

Posting this because I figure you’d be interested in seeing it. For those not in the know this is in response to something posted on another blog, don’t worry about it. No audio because copyright, obviously. Besides, just the visual itself is all that’s needed.

Might even notice a few similar expressions here too.

Minty here. I’m responding to this veeeery delayed, but I finally watched Death Note for the first time! And I couldn’t help but laugh because Chara and Light share more than a few personality traits (and expressions) than I even realized. Eruto had seen Death Note back in the day, a million years ago, and I had read it (even longer ago) so maybe subconsciously Light had some influence. =)

PS: We incorporated the red eyes because of the red eyes that appear at the end of the soulless pacifist route of Undertale!

PPS: There’s a line in Death Note where Light laments that using the notebook is SO INCONVENIENT TO USE and I laughed and laughed because it’s like the MOST convenient thing to use ever. He’s so out of touch! I could see Chara complaining that the SAVE power is SO INCONVENIENT TO USE despite being a god-like power because they can’t have simultaneous multiple save points.

A picture portraying Chara’ s hypocrisy  between others behavior toward them and  their own behavior toward others discussing the topic of toxic masculinity, another possible reason why Asriel sought for a divorce between him and Chara. (Drake meme format using your gifs, sorry!) [P.S.: If you have a reddit account, you can contact me, there are lot of awesome artworks by you guys (mainly Minty’s) being posted on some subreddits such as r/charaoffensesquad, it would be better if you have an account so we can label it as your artworks (I have posted your Chapter 9~11 of Caretaker AU on r/undertale)][If you feel offended, I will apologize, I am not meant to be toxic to others, thank you ;(]

read through this whole comic/story recently, and have been playing back through final fantasy 14 again. while doing the alexander raids, stumbled across this quote, and. it felt sharply appropriate for the comic, and wanted to share.
