Hey, scythes and hammers are both items that could be tools or weapons, so is the devilsknife in this au like the hammer of justice where it was used as a tool in the light world and a weapon in the dark world? Did Jevil work on a farm or something?
jevils favorite part of farming is crop rotation <- joke from risk
can i be honest. i did not notice there was a line confirming gerson was a smith i thought he just wrote about hammers. REGARDLESS i actually really like the idea of ex-farmer jevil...also this somehow led me to thinking about AU seavil doing suselle paralleling before it comes up in the story. since i will still make suselle work in the AU #believe
a love that never was struggling to be born....this is part of their story
so queen is one of my favourite deltarune characters and even though i'm not super in a deltarune headspace right now i do love to think about her so i will do my best to elaborate.
(drawing from ken)
i thought it would be really interesting to knock her out of a position of power and then put someone else with very strong ideals in her old position - she has no control and she wants it so fucking bad because the guy in charge is USELESS and she could do so much BETTER!!!
unfortunately i can't really talk about her in this au without talking about ramb (another of my favourites) but i swear to god i am not making her arc about a dude, ramb is a woman to me. toby fox gave us nothing so i will give us this one thing. he's butch please believe with me. we started talking about ramb as head (governer) (guv'na) of cyber city and when i realised the potential contrast between the two of them it really fascinated me.
at a baseline they both want the same thing: for lightners to be happy. they're even focused on one kid each: ramb with kris, queen with noelle (which stays the same despite the shuffle). however, ramb stops there and doesn't really think much about other lightners, much less other darkners. noelle is very important to queen but queen cares a lot about lightners as a whole, even though she's willing to use other darkners as tools to get her way. ramb cares about NOTHING but kris - not other lightners, not other darkners, and certainly not himself. queen's vision of a world where every lightner is perfectly happy is one where she's at the centre of it, she's the one who got them there, they're happy because of her and their continued happiness is because of her. ramb is barely a figure in his own fantasy of kris' happiness. he wants them to like him, but if he could make them happy and fade away completely he would be completely fine with that.
this drives queen INSANE. she thinks he's fucking STUPID. you could even say she doesn't think lightners could find happiness by themselves, without darkners, without her. she finds this selflessness of ramb's, ultimately, supremely selfish. sacrificing everyone and everything in the name of one kid's happiness is simply not good enough - that temporary buzz will fade. they'll always need another page to scroll. if you're not there for the long term you're not there at all - and that's even without getting into the fact that he's just focused on one kid, not lightners as a whole.
(of course her views on lightners and her willingness to use other darkners as pawns also SUCK BADLY. both of them are not good to the people around them and need to be stopped. neither of them deserve dominion over others.)
i don't think this interaction could come into nearly as much focus in canon - by the time ramb's around, queen's relinquished control, and even if you headcanon him into appearing in castle town after all she would have no reason to give a shit about him - so it really interests me in teleshuffle!
so all that's why she's seeking to undermine him. i could probably talk more about details of like what she's doing and stuff but i'm really sleepy and if i don't post this now i never will. crawls back into my hole

How do Swatch and Mettaton feel about each other currently ? Why did they divorce here?
swatch- frustration at him, partners are two parts of a pair who should be there when needed, mixed with guilt, feeling they also had obligations they could have performed better and now metta is in a bad place again. a sadness that has to be put aside, excised where possible. a dream that gave way to reality.
mettaton- never say you're sorry. never say how much you miss them. keep saying you've moved on and that you don't care anymore. it won't be true, but it's better than looking pathetic and wanting. maybe they'll realize what they're missing, that they need you just as much as you need them.
the reality is it was wrong since the moment they moved to hometown, because the reason they moved destroyed mettaton's whole life, his career was gone. it wasn't a good place to be in, struggling to retain some self when everything u worked for and everything you wanted to do in life was trashed. going along w spamton's ideas already means you're on a desperate path. mettaton was desperate to make it work same as spamton- they both wanted their dreams back and were going to do anything for it. it fed badly into each other. but swatch views their marriage not only as a romantic thing but also as an obligation they took own that they can't willingly break off no matter how bad it gets. luckily for them, in a moment of anger mettaton suggested divorce and it gave them their out bc he said he wanted it first. he didn't mean it, but then swatch had already filed the paperwork and metta realized that they'd practically been waiting for an excuse and it hurt. badly. which meant now he had to double down and pretend he had meant it and it didn't hurt
TO THE PPL THAT SENT ASKS: i super super appreciate them and have been spinning them around in my head and talking about ideas for them, i'm just having an ADHD No Medication moment and complete ideas are hard....................i will answer when i can tho! tyyyyyy
what characters/character placements did you have the easiest time deciding and conceptualising and which were hardest for you? Id imagine that teleshuffle not really having a pattern for character-role placements would be freeing for the creative process but could also make things harder due to deltarune having a larger cast of characters that are connected in various different ways.
kris and ralsei were probably the easiest! in part bc those are risk's and my respective favorite characters, in part bc both of them are pulling a lot from previous iterations of the AU! ralsei was in kris role in v1, kris was in noelle role in v2, its came together in a fun way. i believe the susie dess swap was an early decision that was easy also, as u can pull a lot of parallels between them but there are also clear distinctions i think are fun to pick at. one in particular is the concept of dess' martyrdom, in death becoming a perfect Lost Girl who people mourned and missed, while i think susie is someone who Could have disappeared and ppl wouldnt have cared the same way. in practice, both ralsei and kris Do care a lot, and ppl are still trying to bring her back, but its...not so personal w spamton the way it is in canon w carol.
speaking of! the spamton swap was also very straightforward for us. we asked the question "who in canon is willing to do reckless child endangerment for their own ends" and decided on him, and the tenna swatch and mettaton swaps spun out from there! we made them pretty closely after the release though and i didnt know what spamtenna would become. i'm sorry. also in retrospect the carol role could have very easily been queen but i guess maybe thats Too easy lol. and also its okay bc we've come around to something thats still really awesome/fun for queen
on the flip side........well. yeah. i definitely find this method of swapping more rewarding/more interesting, but i think the thing is that when you focus on swapping based on the most interesting threads, you start to end up with Leftovers. and the yarns are all over da floor. and ur cat is batting them and you lose them under the couch. more minor characters can be much harder bc u have less of a clear throughline for where it makes the most sense, or you dont really have enough Thoughts about them in the first place.
as far as big characters though, queen was weirdly hard to place bc we'd ended up putting ppl in most of the slots that made sense for her already. for a bit she was in alphys' role just bc we werent really sure, and that had been a past placement we'd done. but it kind of felt like....not important enough? in some way? so we switched her around and then also expanded the sweet cap'n cakes role slot. to the point she's just kind of a ch2 main character again LOL but thats ok. bc she deserves it. also, while the role for lancer was decided very early, we kind of struggle w writing for it sometimes! because we're trying to put the weight of the world on a 10 year old. maaaaaybe we could age him up....? but i dont really Want to.....personally. bc i'm scared. looks around.
btw since i don't know when i expect to be able to design anything regarding this- we decided the final boss of ch2 is evoking susiezilla somewhat, with a kaiju playing off ideas ppl have had about werewire ramb

Spamton takes the role of Carol. Married to Tenna. Ex-marketing guy for TV TIME!, current mayor of a small town. In a more desperate/hopeful time, he tried to make Hometown into a new hotspot for show business, convincing some old colleagues (similarly washed up/pushed out of the business) to move and join him. It wasn't really working. Then everything else started going wrong. Got into esoteric Deltatheism as a way to order and justify life, and after certain discoveries is trying to twist the prophecy to his own ends.
"Fuck those kids."
- Spamton G. Spamton (his famous quote)
Tenna takes the role of Rudy. Married to Spamton. He's been getting old and getting sick, though he'd never admit to it even from the hospital bed. The family he got was what made losing TV TIME! and that career bearable, but now that family is drifting apart and visiting him less and Spamton has been increasingly erratic, and he struggles to keep a positive attitude about it.
Swatch takes the role of Toriel, head of the local school and parent of Ralsei and Berdly. Struggles to find a balance of duties and dreaming. Divorced from Mettaton, who they helped make the dream body of as a joint project and gift in art college.
Mettaton takes the role of Asgore. Washed up star. Hit the absolute hardest by losing his showbiz career as it was central to his dreams, he’s made a series of increasingly desperate choices along with Spamton, fueling a joint obsession with wanting their shine back. Divorced from Swatch, who saw him before anyone else.
Seam takes the role of Sans. Seller of groceries and also cursed artifacts, and already getting deep into the local gossip. It seems they moved here because of a person they once knew who recently passed away…
The Mikes take the role of Undyne. Running the public access TV station of a small town, it's not always that interesting. But they find their fun.
K_K takes the role of Napstablook. Not much to say about this one, due to Napstablook’s limited presence. Sweet and Cap’n are in the ghost house now.
Shuttah takes the role of Alphys, an eccentric teacher who isn’t always easy to understand and has particular standards, but most find it pretty cool.
DARK ZONE (A frightening place to be, alone.)
Jackenstein takes the role of King, banished here with his subjects for being too darn scairy. Probably.
Carol takes the role of Jevil. It is cold, and everything freezes into silence.
Rudy takes the role of Seam. Isn’t much to hope for or dream for, but you can still have a laugh.
Elnina & Lanino take the role of Clover - a two-headed weatherbeast with an ego as fragile as it is big.
Mad Mew Mew takes the role of Rouxls. I have a reason for this but you won’t know until later.
CYBER SEA CITY (City lights reflected in the ocean, is this paradise...?)
Ramb takes the role of Queen. Guv’na of Cyber City whose going to help Kris get what they need most and make them happy. No one…likes him or his rule much it seems, but no one cares enough to try to get rid of him- until now.
Eram takes the role of Swatch. A knight and a mare, does tricks and ominous statements, and is going to cause trouble just to see what happens.
Rouxls takes the role of Tasque Manager. Watch out for web worms!
Queen takes the role of Sweet Cap'n Cakes, the rebel queen of Cyber City. Can’t stand Ramb and knows she’d be best in charge, and Noelle will help her.
Asgore takes the role of Spamton. Discarded flowers of unwanted love, left to rot. They never did. You cannot give up on the life you were meant for.
THE THEATRE (Did you remember your script?)
Toriel takes the role of Tenna, the director of the theater and narrator of Story Time! You can't leave. I know how this ends if you leave.
Undyne & Papyrus take the roles of Elnina & Lanino, best friends, play guard characters in the plays. Undyne also works in the audio department while Papyrus works in the costuming department. SOMEONE who likes Undyne keeps getting in between their act.
Alphys takes the role of Ramb. Toriel doesn't seem to like her or trust her for some reason... Says she's on Ralsei's side and has old game scripts that could be what he needs.
Gaster takes the role of Eram- trapped in a video game creepypasta and trying to get things back on track somehow for His Deltarune, which is ALL messed up right now.
Clover takes the role of the Mikes (splits Clover into 3 separate people).
Sans takes the role of the original Mike? Kind of just a gag where you walk to the end of the Mike room and Sans is there. And says hi i’m mike. And that's all.
PROPHECY (Do you want to be free?)
Jevil takes the role of Gerson, a recently deceased fiction author whose retirement to Hometown was a secret to all. You can do anything you want forever.
Tasque Manager takes the role of Jackenstein, whose lair is one of order in the face of dissolution.
The story has its beats and its steps, but the road is long and nothing stays certain. What if we had a little fun with the pieces of this tapestry? Who knows what could happen!
The Teleshuffle AU (so named just ‘cause it was conceived post Chapter 3+4 release) consists of two swap sets- the "main kids" and "everyone else". It focuses on swapping around roles, rather than characterizations - everyone is the same internally, just changed by circumstance and role in life. Swaps are chosen very loosely, retaining canon relationships where most interesting, but the only real rule is "have fun and try anything". Also Dess Knight theory is the rule of the land for now.
Note that the prophecy outlined in chapter 4 is meant to be mostly intact. Take that as you will.
Since there are a lot more characters with every chapter, this first part will only cover the "main kids" set. The second part is for the real roleswap sickos.
The main role shuffles are as follows:
Ralsei is Kris
Dess is Susie
Lancer is Ralsei
Asriel is Lancer
Kris is Noelle
Noelle is Berdly
Berdly is Asriel
Susie is Dess
[DARK WORLD REFS] [LIGHT WORLD REFS] [UPDATED DESS-IGN]
[PART 2]
-> Ralsei
Ralsei Palettrill is the adopted son of Swatch and Mettaton and adopted brother of Berdly Palettrill. Ralsei was a shadow found under the floorboards of the house being renovated before the Palettrills moved in, and became a person when an eight year old Kris interacted with him. A fine point isn't put on his existence, but everyone who has lived in Hometown long enough knows about it. He's known to be a sweet boy, well-intentioned and helpful out of an intentionality to be kind, though he's not always certain on what being kind constitutes. Putting everyone else before himself, selflessness, that is the kindness he's learned, and selfishness as a trait he doesn't want to emulate. You do what you need to do in hopes you can get the best outcome, working within a system you can't escape. Already an unassuming kid, since his older brother left for college he's been especially distant and quiet, frequently struggling to stay awake in classes– he says it's because he's been staying up late talking to his brother. Kind of a goofball, kind of a weirdo that doesn't know what a person fully is, likes to pretend to be innocent to pull little pranks.
-> December
Dess Holiday Spam-Tenna is not who anyone hoped she’d be. They should go choke on those hopes- it's not like she’s gotten what she wants either. The last year of high school got so unbearable for her she dropped out, and now she makes her way doing odd jobs while living in a cramped studio apartment, ‘cause anything is better than spending another day in that big, pristine house, and she doesn’t have the means to leave this doomed town- where would she even go? She hasn’t even touched her guitar in a year. Prone to acting out. No longer lost and martyred, she must be taken as a whole person. Has a lot of support magic that she starts out treating as stupid/pointless and refuses to use because "sword reduce HP to 0", but like with her music she still wants these things to matter.
-> Lancer
Lancer is a prince of his own Dark, Lancer kingdom, his little Dark, Lancer world. There’s more than Lancer out there though, and he can’t wait to see it, though he’s imagined it plenty! A whole eternity to imagine everything he knows about but doesn’t actually know. There might be something actually pretty inconvenient that’s gonna happen. But maybe if they recruited a whole army of every thing ever by being soooooooooo nice, then he’d be a king instead of prince, and his army could make a big wall to- urm, or maybe they could all hold hands around the circumference of the earth and… Or…
-> Asriel
The DARK WORLD is a FRAIGHTENING place, and Prince Asriel of the DARK ZONE is scariest of all! (After King Jackenstein, OBVIOUSLY.) And no Delta Losers are getting through- they’ll be too scared to even move! They should be scared, otherwise why did the Lightners leave them all here? …That deer girl is really cool, though- huh? No, he didn’t say anything! You imagined it, idiot!
-> Kris
Kris Spam-Tenna is the youngest of the Spamton-Tenna siblings, if only barely compared to Noelle. Kris has had a difficult time, going from the foster system to a stable family only to lose their new parents before they could even really know them. Now adopted along with their siblings, but feels out of place and uncertain, especially as the sibling closest to them grows apart and they find it hard to keep up with any hope for showbiz. Lost a dear friend a long time ago.
-> Noelle
Noelle Spam-Tenna is a perfect daughter and sister, the best grades in her class, always lovely and conscientious and devoid of edges. She has to be, seeing the ways her siblings have struggled to find a place in their unabashed weirdness and anger. Her family pulls apart at the seams and she pulls back, back to how it was, when it felt so much easier. If they'd just listen– sometimes she wants to strangle th- no no no, she's nice! She's so nice! They're just going through a rough time!!
-> Susie
It is aching. Beneath the town, forgotten by all but a few and loved by even fewer, THE DRAGON KNIGHT rakes its claws through the earth, wanting, wanting for it all to collapse.
