Undertale's BIGGEST Rabbit Hole
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video I hyperfixate on one of my favourite games UNDERTALE and one of the most insane subsections of the games fanbase. Undertale Aus, there's honestly too many to count so I took my favourites and turned it into a youtube video, woah! I go on about stuff like dreemur reborn, handplates, dusttale, udnerswap, underfell- honestly, just a lot of the well known stuff along with a few you might not have seen, before somehow dragging everything back to underverse. I hope you all enjoy!!!

Actually the first AU's was Kindred Spirits very original written fanfic version. Then followed by Dreemurr Reborn.
Holy crap, UNDERTALE is almost ten years old? Dang we’re getting old.
@@clinkclangclock I mean yeah...
Yeah we do...

**[White noises]**
I just realized Undertale Yellow also technically counts.
Btw i noticed... the thumb line, looks like shayy thumbnail of his video that EVERY ENEMY is sans in undertale
the sans hierarchy pyramid
Tumbler sexy man pyramid?
the sans hierarchy pyramid
Dont try finding not op sanses it’s a bad time
Yeah
And it's *fucking stupid*
I do like Dreeurr Reborn for how wholesome and in character it is. (=
Sans: (exist)
Undertale au creators: (with their hands full of buckets) good morning sunshine
You are my sunshine! get it folks? 😂✌
Yeah, I kinda get it but..
Why is it always Sans?? Why not Toriel? Asgore? Frickin' ALPHYS?
Bro I want a take on Underfell that goes into the life of people like Gerson and the Temmies

CAMILA DID NOT WORK ON UNDERVERSE 🗣❗
JAKEI IS WORKING ON UNDERVERSE!! LEAVE JAKEI ALONE! JAKEI SUFFERED ENOUGH ON THIS WHOLE SITUATION, PLS
Very Very True
poor Jakei
its cancelled anyway😭
@@strawhatdj2195 literally it isnt
@@strawhatdj2195Incase you didn't know, the episode she's currently working on is not the last. She's just gonna take a break once she releases Underverse part 8.1 before working on it again which will probably be next year so please stop spreading misinformation that it's cancelled.
Hey, I just wanna make this clear before people get confused: CAMILLA DID NOT MAKE UNDERVERSE, nor did they work on it. They worked on glitchtale
I was there, I saw it happen live on Tumblr. I witnessed Error, Fresh, and Ink transform from being Sans to original characters. I saw Underfell rise and fall, Underswap explode into its own complicated AU’s. It was a hellscape
Yeah.
And some AUs were really good!
Some were ruined…
So I am sad now.
But I am willing to move on but it stays forever in my heart.
@@Biscuit_gamer34Agreed. My favorite is Parchment. It's about this Eldritch being that fused with Papyrus before it knew what morals was and the poor guy just wants to make things right. Awesome stuff
Then there's stuff like Axetale which was absolutely amazing at it's horror and lore, but kinda got ruined for some people cause of Frans (even though Frisk is dead..) The creator then got bored and draws TMNT stuff now.. Can't blame em tho
@@theunfortunatewonderer5018 Yeah…..
So did Flowertale about friendship got destroyed.
I MEAN FLOWERS SHOW BOND BOTH FRIENDSHIP WISE AND RELATIONSHIP WISE.
I swear every male and female being friends always get shipped no joke 😭
Ink is still a Sans tho, Error and Fresh stopped being Sanses.
@@theunfortunatewonderer5018 Omg I never heard of Parchment before he sounds cool. One of My Favorites is Chronicle. He's an outcode in a similiar vein to Ink but instead of bad memory he has narcolepsy and his whole deal is that he has the stories of every single AU and character in a Giant Library. His story never got finished unfortunately but he's still a cool one. Some other ones I really like are Delta, Cross, Epic, Abyss, Ganz, Handplates, and Playbacktale which stars Papyrus and Flowey becoming this fused being where Flowey gets to feel again but Papyrus loses the ability to feel. Super underrated aus. Ink will always be one of my favorites though cuz Artist who can't read a room XD. I feel really bad for Flowerfell though, poor thing just wanted to be a nice story only to be burnt at the stake by shippers and anitishippers.
Undertale AU's were that one thing I couldn't escape from as a kid.
Still can't lol
I tried escaping it and I did for a few years, but it dragged me back, while I kicked and screamed.
@@HaloGuy5667 Relatable

Underverse was not made by Camilla (nor did Camilla even work on it) and its actual creator (Jael Peñaloza) is not a bad person. They’ve already been going through a lot. Please do not make it worse.
Camila has not touched Underverse, underverse is created by Jakei, please fix this
Growing up with UTAUs it's like a whole other community with how intrinsic and vast it is. Honestly holds a special place in my heart
I read UTAU and did not realize it was UT AU. I really thought it was like UTAU in vocaloid terms until i realized that made no damn sense.
@@Sylvia568 YEA LIKE, PLS SEPERATE UT AND AU, UTAU IS A DIFFERENT THING ONG 😭
@@HiuuuS geez, replying to my comments twice? I think either you just looked at like 10 to 25 of the top comments (completely fair behavior), or you looked at the comments, but just so happen to have a similar thought process to mine on which comments to comment about (if it is this one, i feel sympathy.)
@@HiuuuSIt’s slowly being referred to as UTMV (UnderTale MultiVerse) now

Undertale was the story about a lone developer who went to the mountain top and screamed "INDY GAMES ARE HERE TO STAY" then set the world on fire.
A unforgettable classic.
never thought id see bored oranges doing a vid on sans AUs
Same. I didn't even realize who he was until halfway lol
HEYY just a correction about something wrong that could spread misinformation and end up affecting innocent people: Camila Cuevas is not the creator, she did not work or collaborate in any way in the production of Underverse. If you could correct that part of the video it would be the best, because the fact that people confuse Jakei with Camila or think that they work together, I don't have to explain how it would damage both Jakei's reputation and work
Hey, uh, Camilla had NOTHING to do with the creation or production of Underverse. The creator of Underverse, Jakei, had been friends with her at one point in the past, but that was back when she was unaware of everything she had done and Jakei has already disavowed her multiple times. I encourage you to look more into it, especially because of the blatant misinformation.
What Camila did?
@@DustGameplisshe got some false allegations that people still believe to be true
@@Siter The allegations are literally true tho? 😭 Plus remember her Livestream addressing this
"you don't deserve an apology for getting groomed"
Honestly, as many have said, one of the biggest issues with Undertale AUs, if not Undertale as a whole, is the "Sansuration" as I call it, in which Sans ended up being _the_ most popular and interesting of the monsters for a lot of people, leading to the nearly decade long span of AUs and projects that seem to focus primarily on Sans, or if not that, give him the lion's share of development and relevance in the plot... even though Sans himself _doesn't_ have that much relevance in the plot outside of judging you before reaching the king and informing you of the status of the Underground based on the choices you made, and the optional boss fight if you choose to kill everyone. There's so many other characters you could explore, but outside of the skeletons or Gaster, there's barely any exploration outside of Dreemurr Reborn, Growthspurt, and a couple others whose names I can't remember. Hell, for all that it gets hazed these days, Glitchtale managed to tell a story where Sans _isn't_ the main focus... it's not a _perfect_ story by any means (Season 2 hit the DIAA so much I prefer Season 1 since that was actually good), but at least it does something with the rest of the cast.
I think this comment is a little disingenuous. There is a lot of undertale stuff that isn’t sans themed that you haven’t mentioned. Undertale Yellow, Underplayer, X-Tale, Endertale to name a few popular ones.
@@rubyred6608760 Ah yes X-tale the definitley not sans focused au where sans definitley dosent kill everyone and definitley dosent lead to underverse ( sans gaming )
@@isaacbatgamer9958 I’m not talking about Underverse, I’m talking about X-tale. They are two different things. Each X-Tale character has an animation dedicated to them. X-tale itself also has an entire comic that goes deeper into X-Chara, X-Gaster, X-Frisk, etc. Sans killing everyone isn’t the only thing that happens. There’s your non sans characters, enjoy.
@@isaacbatgamer9958 There are dozens of au's where sans isn't the main char in.
Epictale for ex.
@@rubyred6608760 X-tale's comic isn't focused on sans, but it does focus alot on X-gaster, you said so yourself, the original commentor also said they couldn't remember that many au's where the skeleton brothers..*and/or* Gaster arent the main focus, so i'd say That part shouldn't be included, the other au's are fair tho
The way I see it, there are two ways to do AU characters really well.
1. The Thought approach. Re-create their original personalities as perfectly as humanly possible. Inverted Fate is also a good example.
2. The Error approach. Make them truly distinct characters with their own personality, backstory, quirks, and abilities. Xtale is a personal favorite in this category.
What is the thought? I think I’ve heard of it before… is it any good?
@@Jokes_Aside122 Its a comic, in which Sans gets a thought about killing frisk near the door of the ruins so they can get their happy ending early and without the human, and then shit hits the fan. It's completed you can watch it as a dubbed movie. Its a pretty cool story
Inverted Fate is so good!
Inverted fate mention 🎉🎉
@@characrum3523 inverted fate literally JUST GOT AN UPDATE!
I absolutely loved handplates and its ending. I found out the comic dubs would never be finished so I took it into my own hands to just read it normally. So if you have the time to do it please do it, the little notes at the bottom from the author also just add a lot of more joy while reading something as depressing as it
i was obsessed with handplates when i was younger 😭 never finished it tho due to the dub thing. just thought it never finished cuz i didnt understand exactly what dubs were lol
@@HopeIsADrug11037 Honestly that's fair. Apparently Vade/Calysto became a vtuber and that's why he stopped doing them. (I have no intention of seeking out his vtuber channel, the past is the past)

Ayo, Cami didn't touch Underverse. That was made by Jael Penaloza who has been wrongfully harassed many times. Would be appreciated if you updated that or at least left a comment.
Dont confuse Camelia and Jael, Camelia Had NOTHING to do with underverse and neither are they the same person. It is understandable that people may miss-speak or make mistakes when talking if that is what happened, but please understand that Jale is NOT Camelia (aka: the creator of Glitchtale, aka: THAT horrible person).
Hey there! Just want to pop in and point out some misinformation at the end of the video. ^^ No hate or disrespect is intended with what I'm about to say!
But Camila is not making Underverse. Jakei is! And despite many people saying so, they are not the same person and Jakei has made statements that she is uncomfortable just speaking about Camila. Camila made GlitchTale and Jakei made Underverse.
I'm assuming this was just a mistake while recording and was overlooked in editing, but many of us fans and Jakei herself would appreciate if it was fixed so no more unnecessary hate is thrown at Jakei, especially hate that is supposed to be for another person.
Again, no hate or disrespect to you for this! In fact you seem like a great creator and I love the videos I've seen from you! I just wanted to make you aware of this ^^
Hey, please fix your misinformation, Camila had nothing to do with Under verse. Jakei wants to move on, please stop trying to associate her with Camila.
jael is an absolute legend it's sad that she has gotten so much hate over the years
What she do?
@@killertrom64Quite literally nothing but ppl spreading misinformation about her & also hating on her because she didn’t make the AUs canon enough (even though COMYET & CQ both have supported Jael)
@@killertrom64 thats the point, she didn't.
Good video! The fandom grows each year as it evolves and changes. Looking back on what and seeing how things are now is pretty cool to see. Though a lot of worlds and projects have been left behind/finished, there’s always more like it up ahead. And now with deltarune, the train will go light speed.
Happy 9th Anniversary, UNDERTALE!!!
33:29 Thats due to the fact that people kept mischaracterizing Swap-sans. I think Jaels the only one at least to my knowledge who's done Swap-sans justice.
It's either he's baby or yandere-people portraying swap sans

Undertale AUs have spiraled even more since I left the fandom
Ey, there's some good stuff too!
Outertale has a full game with a somewhat original storyline, Undertale Yellow is done and awesome..
..But yeah it's definitely the minority lol
@@theunfortunatewonderer5018 Outertale was an AU before I left, Undertale Yellow came out during my transition from being super into Undertale to checking in from time to time, so I'm fully aware of those AUs.
@@sandpaperunderthetable6708 Oh..
Yeah, I got nothing then. Well, Undertale Wildfire looks AWESOME, but it's only got a fight demo for now. That's about it as far as AUs go.
It's not an AU, but Undertale Plus is new mod that's looking amazing despite being in super early devlog. It's mostly being made by a bunch of TH-camrs, so I have high hopes it'll release eventually. It'll be an Undertale mod with the Deltarune battle system, Deltarune and Undertale items and enemies, a Dojo mode, item and armor sprites, unused content.. a lotta shiz
it's better today than back in the days for sure in terms of quality fan stuff, like we didn't have underevent back then lol

THIS IS MY UNDERTALE🗣🗣🔥
NO! nonono no. I HAD FINALLY REMOVED THAT MEMORY FROM MY BRAIN, AND YOU JUST BROUGHT IT BACK! NO!
I'm about to do an "erm acktually" moment. 4:15 this would be an AT (Alternate Timeline). Anything that takes undertale and does a, "well what if this happened?" would be an AT. AU's are things like Underswap or Underfell.
It's technically an AU as it's an Derivative of Undertale; a Fanfic of shorts. AT refer to as route within the established game (Genocide, Pacifist, etc.). Think AUs as either an extension or alternative of what has already been established.
Oh my god,who the fuck cares?
@@mrslasher1064 guess those anger management classes are going well lol
all ATs are AUs, but not all AUs are ATs
The thing that gets me about Dreamtale is that it’s basically just a worse version of Chara and Asriel’s story. We got so far into Sans AUs they recreated something that already exists in the game
Undertale AUs have basically collapsed in on themselves in that period of time ':>
@tsrkfn Nice profile picture
@@adish1401really funny that you say that, cause I’m pretty sure there’s an AU about AUs doing just that.
@@megathepunnymenacehelp_tale, it's one of my personal favorites
I would argue that a bit. The original is, yeah, fair. Pretty much the same thing.
HOWEVER
Nightmare's existence is the sole reason the Star Sanses exist, how Cross's story took off, the Murder Time Trio exists, and [arguably] why you can find so much deeper political schemes/planning oi fanfic rather than god-like creatures simply fighting
Undertale is a absolutely amazing game but the fanbase it scares me
It a 50/50 (or rather 80/20) where you might get something that actually interesting and cool to another sans oc and the likes
Well, with undertale, there are two paths after playing, descend further into undertale madness, or become a masochist (Touhou fan). Anyway i chose masochism.
@@Sylvia568both, both are good
I am part of the fanbase and the fanbase scares me
👻Boo
32:44 That's actually something I found really interesting about Underverse's incarnation of Ink Sans. Jakei is on record confirming him to be genuinely soul-LESS (namely because some fans were diagnosing him, cause there's always gonna be those who believe a character might have some type of mental issue or otherwise, right?), and that in turn brings me to _another_ thing I love about Underverse: the *_foreshadowing._*
Throughout Underverse, you got constant little nuggets of things being _not quite right_ in Sans's universe, or that Ink isn't to be trusted, or of Gaster being a top level threat, all of which come to a head in 0.4 (and the prologue for Season 2 for Sans's whole "owner" deal). It makes rewatches pretty great since you can really start to see the pieces as they fall in place, like Ink's emotions finally running dry by the end of 0.3 Part 2, where the shapes just stop appearing... which continues into the interlude and 0.4 where he reveals himself as the catalyst for everything. It's so damn good and shows how well Jakei does as a writer, though I wish we had an adaptation of Xtale Timeline X where we get to follow Sans like the original comic did. I like the idea of delving into Frisk and Chara's thoughts more and what drove them to give the others their memories back, but getting to see Cross having to fight his friends who gang up on _him_ for refusing to help the brothers was really something I wanted to see animated... hopefully she can make that after her year long break ends...
Ink is souless because he destroyed his to escape the Dead and abandoned AU. He survive solely on the creativity of the Undertale Creative Fandom, for without them he'll die. He's not the guardian of the AUs, rather the Muse of the Undertale Fandom; protecting their works for as if they're his very soul.
One thing you forgot to mention about the Undertale community: It's slowly resetting itself. With the exception of Toby Fox himself, every big name is gone for the most part. The AU creators are vanishing, the content creators are vanishing, the remixers, the artists... If you don't leave the community on your terms, you'll be evicted for something, as we saw with Camilla or NyxTheShield.
There is ONE name I know that's managed to keep his nose clean, and he's a time bomb with a list of people waiting for him to screw up because he screwed them.
The community is somehow decaying while growing.
You have Deltarune to thank for that.
@@DrMecha Not exactly. Most of the "pillars" were pre-deltarune. Now they're going down because their pasts are coming back to haunt them or other reasons like it's just got for them anymore. People do grow out of communities with time, and that's okay, but a CONCERNING amount of big names in the Undertale community are being outed as creeps/horrible people/etc
Wait what did Nyx do?
@@pyrobowser158 Wrapped up in all of the Camilla stuff. If I remember correctly he participated in the cover up, but crumbled the second he saw trouble
@@nuclear_stardust I were more or less talking about the reset, as in the Undertale fans where slowly being replaced by Deltarune ones.
Really sad you're spreading false information against Jakei.
Shame on you.
i love how he avoids Glitchtale on purpase
We don’t talk about that one
We don’t talk about Glitchtale
You can love story but avoid creator if needed! This should held true every media but yeah.
"avoids"
@@miltsukka13 God damn. What happened?
One thing that I really, REALLY like about XGaster is his actions. He represents an author, a writer (which I can relate to). He kills the characters he has created, analyzes other people's works, gives his characters happiness, revives them, puts them through torture, just like an author does to find what they find is better for their story, for what makes it perfect in *their vision.*
Jael is not involved with Camila. I think you had to investigate before pulling some misinformation like that.
I think you misspoke at the end there. You said Underverse while showing messages from Glitchtale's creator. I think you meant Glitchtale....
i gotta say....underveres is the most amazing show on youtube ive seen and i have no regrets finding it
As a former tumblr girlie (I cringe so hard, lol), I remember a lot of cute and glorious fanart of the AUs now forever lost. Good yet awkward memories.
Underfell, Underswap, Swapfell, and Outertale were my favorites if you're curious. I loved the gijinka versions of these AUs.
Now that you mentioned it Outertale recently (last month) got a full fleged fangame called PS Outertale. It's pretty cool, I recommend it.
video was very nice! it feels good to see the au comunity being presented in a mostly positive light for once :3 however I would like to say that the section at the end (more specifically around 33:37) has a bit of missinformation, "underverse was being made by one of the worst possible people" and then proceeded to show a screenshot of camila,, intentional or not you're painting jakei(the actual creator of underverse) in a pretty bad light! If im correct there was a lot of missinfo being pread about that whole situation and I think it would've been just better not to mention it at all,,, again, loved the video it made me very happy to watch as someone whos very active in the fandom :D but that part left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth,,
Jael has spoken several times on the subject, and she herself has acknowledged that she screwed up everything that happened and even apologized, besides, what they are telling you is that you showed a screenshot that is not even her conversation, but a conversation between Camila and Crystal, to do that is irresponsible @@DefinitelyBoredOranges
@@DefinitelyBoredOranges well damn, looks like you are more of a pos than her. Not even made your own investigations, taking rumours as facts.... Shame on you.
@@КомандаЛевиbro deleted his comment 😭🙏
The Undertale Multiverse is literally a different fandom from the Undertale fandom, as someone in both, they do NOT mix
Sans is a species at this point
That's exactly how I describe it
I always found the Undertale fandom so fascinating. You never had to play the game or read the information given by the au creators. You could find out everything you wanted about Undertale and the aus through fan osmosis. I never played the game or watched a playthrough of Undertale for years but I still new every character and story beat. People are so creative and cool! Undertale + Undertale aus have been a huge fixation of mine for many years.
Inverted Fate is the absolute BEST AU, period. It's absolutely incredible and characterizes each and every character so well.
What about undertale yellow and the other freshed out aus like The Thought or og dusttale?
@@WelcometoyourlocalchannelTbh idk if OG!Dusttale can be called an very loyal adaptation of sans
But yeah the other ones you mentioned are great
TS!Underswap too
it's finished right? i read the whole comic up to the core part in 2020 (cuz the rest still wasn't done yet)
I have always loved undertale aus its been a true passion and hyperfixation for a good 8 years now and it always makes me happy to see some talking about them so kindly. Thank you
I definitely need this video, so I can understand what my friends are talking about and what the hell a “green sans” is
Please correct the misinformation of your video, Camila Cuevas was *never* involved in the creation of Underverse
I saw so many freaking Undertale AUs before playing the game that I was confused how many storylines the actual game even had because there are like 300 sans alternatives out there. But I can't blame the fandom, if a media has a story that open for making alternative universes with differing decisions, mechanics, lore - why not do it? AUs keep medias alive after they end or while waiting for the continuation.
I caught myself doing AUs for media where I wasn't satisfied with the canon story and felt like you could do more with it, e.g FNAF
Tbh there are probably more, I can name 70 existing aus in like 10 minutes, and those are decently popular ones, if you also look at fan games, alternate timelines and smaller, less popular aus, there have to be an insane amount of them. Way more than 300 I believe
This video gets my automatic seal of approval for mentioning that Dusttale is like, an Ask-blog and not based off of the fangame.
Appreciate the research done!
The handplates dub by Starbot/Calysto will likely never be finished, but there is a dub by Phoenix Prime that is finished. There is a playlist by "Briana M" that combines them so it switches over when the Starbot/Calysto dub ends.
Yay! Glad Phoenix got a shout out here!
thats a shame. starbots dub was one of the best ones id ever heard.
Undertale AUs are... interesting... to say the least
and thats why we love them. they are interesting and fun to make
17:30 To be fair, Sans doesn't have it _that_ bad, since everything he knows is purely hypothetical...Theories based on the slight subpixel sized scrunching and creases of Frisk's face
Don't spread missinformation about Jakei
What I love in Underverse is that X-Gaster is as much of an analogy to a perfectionist AU author, as Flowey to a curious player.
absolutely no way you released this the same day I started getting dragged back by the ankles into undertale
I was there…I saw the birth or countless worlds and their slow and painful deaths. And I saw worlds be birthed from the dead. And 27 different variations of the *same damn AU* every month or so. And it was the most beautiful hell I wish to witness again.
I'm rewriting this comment, as it seems the video delves into all AUs pre-pandemic, and I want to explain some things the video didn't include, that are pretty prevalent now
Underevent: a yearly event where a ton of upcoming AU projects are showcased so fans can be up-to-date on what AUs they could be looking forward to
UTSC: short for the Undertale Soundcloud Community; they've been around since 2016, but really only gained relevance after Deltarune Chapter 2 released, sparking a ton of new creators to create fan-made Deltarune content, and eventually create some of the best Undertale AU content the community's seen in years, such as original AUs that focus on the entire world of Undertale instead of just Sans, as well as revamping older AUs and making them better than they ever were
Fan-Games: same with the UTSC, they've been around for awhile, but have only been one-off boss fights, or unfinished demos, short horror games, or Sans genocide route fangames (I will have to admit a couple of them were actually pretty good, such as the CC!Storyswap Asriel Fight)
as of recent we've been getting fully fleshed out games, such as PS!Outertale, Undertale Yellow, and TS!Underswap, which are so good that even Toby Fox himself has acknowledged one of them (Undertale Yellow)
we also still get boss-fight fan-games, although they're higher quality than what we had before, and are very unique concepts (eg: Call Of The Void, La Jupo Vania, literally every Dusttale take)
that could be an entire video of its own
I'll just say that if you're going to make videos like this, you should inform yourself better about the things that are happening and not believe the first things on the internet, not even older people are like that anymore.
Okay, I’m with you on pretty much everything, and your descriptions of characters and their motivations are absolutely incredible and pull all the heart strings, but.. calling Ink the “main” antagonist of Underverse is a bit much. That would still be XGaster. Ink might be the initiator, but that’s about it. He never expected any of this to happen, nor did he actually wish all this pain on anybody. Mostly because he literally couldn’t comprehend the concept of pain. So.. he’s not a villain, he’s just an idiot. And now that that fact has finally sunk in, he might actually figure out how to save everyone. So now, he’s joining the ridiculous army of anti-heros that is pretty much almost every other Sans.
The BOMB of nostalgia you gave me with mentioning handplates....I was OBSESSED with that comic back then....I wonder if it's still continuing
I think it’s discounted or something
@@Falling.Sunz_yelli ah...what a shame
Handplates got finished last year(?)
The calysto/famous dub was discontinued but someone else finished dubbing it
it finished officially back in 2023, not discontinued, it just ended.
@@kazazalea7747 ahhhh I will reread it then
23:55
Me: .....Um......Well about that.... *Looks a child teen self that fell in love with this stuff for years remembering almost every AU and now just watching this for nostalgia getting excited at remembering the AUs again....
But you're not wrong my brain did explode.... Also I'm now really good at remembering AUs to other franchises like nothing, like Spiderverse and such
i kid you not, just watching and consuming all the content of undertale would take you 3-4 years, if not more. it's literally learning an entire fricking culture and language. it's base gameplay is nothing compared to other major franchises, but makes the other franchises feel like nothing in comparison to the sheer amount of content the entire base has to offer.
god i love this video. when i was younger and in the undertale fandom aus were everything to me, so obviously i enjoyed this video a lot. i know the fandom is still alive but i think its kinda rare to see general au content thats actually really goddamn good. thank you mr orangers sir. burgerpants on top btw
"there hasn't been an uodate for nearly ten months" 'shows it was almost 10 years ago, not ten months' i think the AUs destroyed your braincells XD

33:35 So is there something up with Jael or did you misspeak and mean Glitchtale?
I think he did, hope he sees this so he can clarify
I’m 100% sure they just misspoke
Yeah, I hope he notices and fixes it.
Didn't Jael support Camilla's actions? I'm not exactly that caught up with the drama so correct me if im wrong.
@@StarWithAPencil i remember that she talked about that in her discord server and in youtube
the technical first au IS undertale because deltarune was thought of BEFORE undertale. and also i love underswap papyrus because he's basically just concept papyrus
But Undertale can't be an AU because it's the main universe. Deltarune just depends.
Toby fox actually aknowledged AUs in the recent autumn newsletter
The Spiderverse inspired thumbnail is God-Tier. Stream did such an amazing job.
33:39 Hey man, think you mixed these two up my boy. Uhhh, wrong names and everything.
Orange:underverse was made by camelia cuevas
Jakei(the actual creator of underverse):what am i chopped liver
check pinned comment
I thought I already edited that part out
Underverse does make everything worth it. As not an adult, I didn’t mind glitchtale, the fight scenes were great, the lore, well I think it kinda started dragging down after the monsters weren’t as in the spotlight as before, but oh well. Sadly, Jael is taking a break, but at least it’s only temporary! (Manga hiatus flashbacks, lol.)
For me I love Ink sans as a character so much because of his flaws. Also, I think Ink's reasoning for doing all this has actually been more defined as the episodes come in. He's more like a antihero now than a true villain if I'm being honest and its not because of his lack of emotions really he was doing this. In the beginning, creators themselves destroyed half of the AUs which drove Ink into a uneasy alliance with Error (Which Ink didnt want) Ink's insecurities also of being forgotten....losing his only ability to feel with the few aus left probably also drove his actions to alliance with Xgaster. Gaster to me is the true villain because (SPOILERS) at least Ink is starting to realize that what he's doing may not be for the best not just for the multiverse but for him as well.
Its not just to experience something new, and this is why I love Ink's character is because how many layers of him there are despite him not having a soul. He's always been there to support the creative community. He makes so many mistakes and can be scary but dang if he isn't cute and silly too.
thisssssss
error was not made to counteract ink, he was originally made as a dare
Back then it was actual Undertale Alternate Universes, nowadays it's more of Who can make more Sanses
it literally isn't anymore, that was pre-2020
@@immatureshenanigans5620Yeah. I really don’t like when ppl say stuff like this too
@@purpledshadow but there was period of time longer than a year that was indeed the case, maybe he left the fandom before that ended
@@purpledshadow ever since the release of Deltarune Chapter 2, there has been an increase in talented AU creators making entire soundtacks for their AUs, either creating original AUs first about Deltarune, then eventually Undertale, or remakes of older AUs, such as Storyshift, Swapspin and Taletwist, all on Souncloud
which all focus on the entire world of these games and it's characters instead of just Sans
none of these Undertale AU videos mention post-2020 AUs and it pisses me off because it's been some some of the best AU content we've gotten in years, besides the fan-games (TS!Underswap, Undertale Yellow, PS!Outertale)

yup, the player was the one who pushed chara to kill asriel right at the end of the genocide route, chara didn't have it in them to kill their brother. now with the player not being a factor, it makes total sense Chara wouldn't finish asriel off.
The player did not do anything. Z is how you progress the dialogue, Chara acted on their own.
@@Person76439 You pushed THEM to kill. That Z button was you forcing them to kill their younger brother. You could go back and reset before that Z press with zero consequences.
@@psebb3502 that is not how this works. There's no fight button on that scene. We don't force Chara to do anything. We press Z to progress Flowey's dialogue and Chara makes the conscious decision to kill him.
Chara always had a choice. They made the choice to willingly and enthusiastically help us the entire route. Stop trying to rewrite the narrative, Chara is not a good person.
@@Person76439 both times when Chara attacks, namely the second slash that kills sans and the slash that kills asgore, you dont do the button input and then the slash happens. Chara interupts both of them. Its an automatic input. The same is not said for flowey, as you only have to press Z on him for the slashes to come rolling in.
Your pushing Chara to kill flowey unlike asgore and sans where they killed on their own.
Camilla didnt do underverse, she made glitchtale
Yeah no shit
There's way many AUs out there, like TS!Underswap, Deltatraveler, Underswap, etc.
And the famous Au
SwapSwapSwapSwap
Yeah there is a lot of au….including *Lusttale* and *PJ’s Daycare*
@@little_bonely we do not talk about pj's daycare... underlust is cool though if you look at the actual story :]
23:33 Error wasn't created to counter Ink. 🤣Error was one of the first AUs created and everyone else wanted to be a rival to Error.
The Christmas party au webcomic dubs probably sent my life on an entirely different path.
My personal favourite AU is FGoD (Forced God of Destruction), which is where Error doesnt WANT to destroy any AUs but is forced to by either a higher deity or the natural laws of the multiverse itself. This usually also includes the group labeled as the “Bad Sanses” also not wanted to harm people but having to because of an outer force, and the “Good Sanses” actually being really corrupt and shitty. The original is a fanfic series on Ao3 by harrish6, but there are HEAPSSS of versions of just this AU all over the fandom!! I definitely recommend this AU if you want something a little bit different :))
DustTale has been my favorite for a while now. I'm a sucker for "fallen hero" archetypes, combine that with the unique element of a game character grinding for and stealing your exp to weaken you. And Sans' purple eye is sick as well.
Underverse is litterally peak bro
You said underverse was created by one of the worst people on the planet lol
I think u may have meant Glitchtale there as Jaki (creator of underverse) is actually innocent and are getting alot of shit for nothing.
Hate should 100% be thrown at the glitchtale creator tho (Camillia)
Straight up. Jakei doesn't deserve the hate. Cami, definitely does though. Don't know why he said this. Unless he misspoke.
@@ThorneDarkrose14He definitely misspoke it
7:57 Huh? What did Chara's sacrifice save Asgore from?
You did not just make me watch Undertale comic dubs
HAPPY 9 YEARS UNDERTALE
kindred spirits is the first au created before dreemur reborn disbelief is the third one and for the 4th one which everyone knows im sure underfell
As someone who makes aus (not for undertale, psychonauts) the main reason is. Fun. I love putting my favorite characters in situations or making them act differently or have other characters act like them in their own special ways.
same! so why hate on it or make fun of it if they are just people who love to create stuff off there favoret characters
Undertale's gonna be 10 years old, congrats.
Also with UT Yellow In the picture, things might get crazier
I never interacted with any undertale AU other than handplates. It's been my favorite and it's the only one I kept coming back to. Zarla's portrayal of Gaster is definitely my favorite past just the canonical weird blob-shaped guy
something tells me this will never end no matter what. and happy 9 years to Undertale
Been looking forward to this video. I was in the fandom from the very start and I remember as a kid how difficult it became to avoid the sheer amount of AU content because it was so widespread. It was fascinating to watch develop, but also annoying for younger me because I had 0 interest in any of the most popular alternate universes, I just wanted content about the canon story lmao. Despite that, it does make me nostalgic to look back on it all and listening to someone talk about everything in retrospective is interesting.
Also, I had no idea Dreemurr Reborn was never actually finished. Reminds me of one of my favourite comics back then, Narrator Chara, which was also left unfinished and I had a huge attachment to. :') Such is the nature of a lot of fan content I suppose, popular or not.
Where there is finished stuff like dogs of future past, which was finished and is pretty good. Seriously lynxgriffin's artwork is pretty.
‘Some good, Some bad, some…’
I laughed so hard, fr
I've watched the Sans comic dubs w/ the AU sans characters when I was 5 or something like that, and I haven't been the same since then 💀. (But I will admit, it is kind of funny to look back on now 🤣)
As someone who was right there when the UTMV first blew up, I can say for sure that it was - and still is - a wild ride. It's not for everyone but rampant creativity and chaos made a turbulent environment where just about anything could crop up and catch on. I was one of the early bloggers for Underswap, so a number of my concepts made their way into the base portrayal of the AU without anyone remembering my involvement specifically. It just became a mishmash of concepts and thoughts and discussions that evolved over time, each iteration getting wilder than the last.
On the flip side, you've got people that felt like outcasts outside of the internet, people whose ideas and obsessions weren't taken seriously or discussed openly, who felt at home with the massive following Undertale had. We were all strange outsiders who shared a deep love of one game, and the variants that spiraled off it, and it gave us a home to be as weird as we wanted without feeling like we didn't belong. That also attracted a lot of bad people whose intentions weren't the best, but I think scale has to do with that. Say you've got ten fans for an obscure series, and one of them is a horrible person. Multiple that by thousands, and you get hundreds of bad people ruining things for the rest of us. Not that I defend their actions, but it's a consequence of fandom and of massive crowds gathering around something and obsessing over it.
I'm still on the scene on a few sites, and it's gotten extremely quiet these days. There's still artists posting, but a lot of them moved on to other, more recent content to go nuts over that. Now's actually the time where I'd suggest getting into it, looking up old AUs and exploring the vast network of concepts and theories left behind. It's almost like an archaeological dig, finding AUs that got trampled over when the fanbase was still big and thriving. Those of us that are left writing and drawing, making new fangames and theorizing about the characters, would be very thankful for the company. A lot of the terrible people moved on already, or got booted out of the fanbase, so you don't have to worry as much as you used to about it.
I'm in it for the long haul either way. Undertale changed my life, in both good and bad ways, and now that the bad parts of it are fading there's a bittersweet nostalgia to everything I find.
Bro... Just found an Undertale AU I wrote FOREVER ago and you post this as I start redrawing, redesigning, AND rewriting some of it?! How are you in my head?!
Broke: AU variants of Sans who’ve got nothing to do with the source material after a certain going
Woke: Inverted Fate Papyrus, despite everything changed around him, still being accurate to canon Paps
Camilla didn't do underverse, she did glitchtale
aaww cool, my childhood!! My favorites were endertale, hunger/zombietale, bacontale and undertale green - it's cool looking back on old interests
Theres an amazing fanfic on AO3 called "The Golden Quiche" that i personally love, its set post barrier breaking, and the author created an entire magic system with the Souls and all the different magic types in the game, i would highly recommend
