COPPERTALE

What if the 6th human to fall down... never left the RUINS?

Hello!

This is COPPERTALE, a fully original Undertale AU based on the above! THIS BLOG IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT!

I really really really like this drawing. It's what I imagine the cover to a coppertale comic would look like, honestly.

I imagine Toriel would take Copper with her sometimes to check for any other fallen humans - and by now it's mostly just a nice walk they can bond over. Maybe grab some groceries on the way back or say hi to the local Froggits.

This was an admittedly very lazy comic I started last night and rushed through today. I know the lighting/consistency might not be the best but I just could not get this idea out of my head 😭

When Frisk first died, they thought that was it.

They didn't think the SAVE points did anything.

And why would they?

But it didn't take long for them to realise just how familiar this world was.

Infinite lives. Unlimited attempts. Endless possibilities.

Just like a video game.

A new banner??

That's right!! After redesigns for both of those goobers (and years after making the au) I finally made a halfway decent banner!

They could be discussing anything

MERRY CHRISTMAS

From the Dreemur Siblings!

(AKA Toriel found out family Christmas cards are a HIT on the surface and so got very excited)

I know I'm like a day late but I was super busy yesterday so shhhhh-

LOOK AT THE SIBLINGS! SIBLINGS WITH MATCHNNF PYJAMAS! OUGGSGWHRHWHBDIEBR <3

Alternate versions under the cut:

For example what if Frisk was constantly referencing memes and pop culture but Copper only had a very vague idea as to what they were talking about.

How on earth does Frisk explain several years of meme history.

I was struck by inspiration.

Copper will absolutely bite. Moss.

(Sorry for the late reply, I only just saw this TwT)

I don't think there would be major differences? I'm not really sure

I don't think Toriel and Sans are as close as they are in the game. Toriel doesn't have time to tell jokes at the door when Copper pops up. BUT she does tell him about Copper, under sworn secrecy, so I imagine Sans becomes a little bit more human friendly. Something to note is that he never holds Copper to judgement - it's always just Frisk. In the genocide route, Copper's talking to Asgore while Sans is 'talking' to Frisk. This is true for most routes, actually, so I like to imagine Toriel tells Sans about Copper in their minimal joke-tellings, and so he trusts that kid more.

But I think Papyrus would remain mostly the same. This might change later on, of course, but I don't see him changing much?

Bug eyed Copper my beloved <3

(I'm aware these are bad quality but I spent. Like 30 minutes on them in total. And my phone camera is a wee bit. Bad.)

Because, he's not seen another human in, like, 5 years. Maybe even 6. Hell, he's barely spoken to ANYONE except for Toriel in all that time. The other monsters are alright but he still feels off with them, the dummy's not much for conversation and Flowey's... Flowey.

So when Toriel brings this new kid, this human kid, Copper almost immediately decides 'yep, we're friends'. Because he has no idea Frisk plans on getting out of the RUINS. To him, this is a new kid, a sibling and a friend to spend time with. He immediately wants to teach them everything he knows, what the best food is, the trillion snail facts, why it's called a water sausage.

Of course he'll guide them through the Underground. After all, it's his duty as a big brother, right?

OH MY GOD??? THIS IS ACTUALLY SO COOL I LOVE THIS SO MUCH???

POV: you're Alphys checking ur screen made to watch for humans and two human kids found your secret Snowdin camera !

Kind of obsessed w/ these sloppy late night doodles atm. But yeah! I feel like Copper would be excited to finally leave the Ruins (until he meets his worst enemy Snowdin) and would want to make a memory out of it. Except it takes a while for both of them to realise that is, in fact, a video camera.

Which I think would make it funny for Alphys to be jumpscared by THIS view when seeing that one of her cameras picked up movement lol.
