Hi!

Hi there!

Technically, Undertale Yellow is allowed, however we have a very limited number of participants who seem to be interested in it. I would highly encourage you to also include at least one request that is more focused about Undertale itself, or its more popular AUs. But you are absolutely welcome to request something about this fangame!

On a side note, I encourage you to check out @utsecretsanta, as I know there are UT Yellow fans over there!

Hello dear Anon!

Let me reassure you, you won't make anyone uncomfortable with those requests! You're not the only one who wants really dark content, and we make sure to pair up people with (somewhat) similar taste. Chances are, your Santa will have the same kinks as you!

If you have any question about the event, don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected], send an ask on Tumblr (on anon or not), DM us on Tumblr or Twitter (same handle as here), or DM one of the mods on discord.

🎁 What’s a Secret Santa? A Secret Santa is a group event where each participant, called a ‘santa’, gets randomly assigned another participant, called an ‘imp’, and has to make a gift for them. In our event, all participants must give 3 request ideas for their santa to make, so if the santa isn’t comfortable with a request, they can choose another one. We mods then sort out all the requests according to preferences and dislikes and match up all the santas with all the imps. Every participant is a santa and an imp at the same time, that is to say, every participant will make a gift for someone and will receive a gift from someone.

🎁 Do I have to do all 3 requests? Of course not! You can if you want to and have the time, but only 1 is required. Having 3 different ideas lets you pick the one you’re most comfortable with.

🎁 I can’t find the form anywhere on the blog or on twitter! How do I participate?? Send us an email at [email protected] when the applications are open(between November 1st to November 16th) asking to participate in the event. We will reply with a link to the form, that you will have to fill in and send before applications close. We do this to ensure participants have a working email we can send their imp’s requests to when we are done with the sorting out.

🎁 I don’t like my Imp’s requests >:( I want to change and have a different Imp! Unfortunately that will not be possible. Once you get your assignment we won’t be able to change it. If you wish to drop out of the event, please let us know as soon as possible so we can assign a back-up. We will also let your own Santa know you chose to step down, and they will be the one to decide if they wish to finish your gift or not.

🎁 I have a question about my Imp’s request/s but I can’t ask or they’ll know I’m their Santa! What do I do? We strongly encourage Tumblr users to have their ask box open with anon asks allowed at least for the duration of the event, though this is of course not mandatory. In case your Imp’s ask box isn’t open/doesn’t allow anon asks or for Twitter/Bluesky only users, please redirect your question/s to us mods (DM us on discord or send us an email at [email protected]). We will pass the question/s to your Imp and will let you know about their reply.

🎁 My Secret Santa made me a craft and I love it!! Can I have it shipped to me? That is a question between you and your Santa (or your Imp in case you’re the one who made the craft). Feel free to discuss shipping fees and private info like adress and full name between yourselves. We mods wish to stay out of such a private conversation.

🎁 I want to participate but I’m not 18 yet! Unfortunately, this event is 18+ only. This doesn’t mean to say that all requests must be NSFW, but we mods are all 18+ and are not comfortable managing an event with minors in it. We encourage minors who want to participate in a UT secret santa event to check out other events at @utfandomevents.

🎁 Are OCs Allowed? Yes they are, as long as they belong to you. Any AU is also fine as long as the creator has given permission to make content for that AU.

🎁 Are we allowed to ask for a gift from a different fandom? Unfortunately, this Secret Santa event aims to revolve around Toby Fox’s hit games Undertale and Deltarune only, and we do not currently allow requests for other fandoms as it would make sorting out requests too complicated. We ask that all participants consider this before writing down their requests in their application form. OCs and sonas are however allowed, especially if they are Undertale inspired! Please keep in mind that your Santa will most likely be familiar with Undertale and not necessarily other fandoms. Please refrain from requesting OCs inspired by other fandoms (Sonic OCs, My Little Pony OCs, etc…).

🎁Are systems allowed to join? Yes, but for organisation’s sake, please be aware that we have a 1 system= 1 application rule systems must follow, which means that alters cannot apply individually. Feel free to mention you’re a system in your application, so your santa can decide to make several smaller gifts for you instead of a single big one. Furthermore, know that our discord server uses PluralKit.

🎁Oh I know my imp, we’re very good friend! I know exactly what they like, I’m going to go crazy with the gifts!! This is wonderful, but make sure to at least include 1 of their requests! They might want something that’s a little different from the content they usually enjoy, so you purposefully ignoring their requests to make something else (that they would otherwise enjoy) might miss the mark a bit… You can absolutely go ham on extras though!

🎄November 1st to 16th: sign-up period and Discord server public opening

🎄November 17th to 23rd: mods sort out all the requests

🎄(around) November 23rd~24th: assignments are sent out via email

🎄November 23rd to December 25th: gift/s making

🎄December 25th: gift/s giving day!

If at any moment you find yourself behind schedule and aren’t sure to be on time with your gift, please let us know as soon as possible so we can accomodate and give you an extension. Don’t keep it to yourself and make sure to let us know in advance so we can reassure your imp that you’ll just be a little late!

🎄Be respectful. No abusive behavior, harrassment, racist remarks, kink-shaming, ship-shaming, misgendering on purpose, fighting over canon interpretations, bullying of any kind will be tolerated. This is a happy event meant to bring the UT community together, not a playground to fight over beliefs. If you have a major problem with a participant over one or more of these issues, please DM a mod.

🎄Don’t start drama. If you have any kind of problem, be sure to DM a mod right away instead of starting an argument. This goes for personal beef with another participant, getting heated up about controversial opinions or headcanons, publically calling out someone’s behavior, etc…

🎄Don’t like, don’t read. This event will include all kinds of adult topics, from suggestive to NSFW to dark content, as well as any ship, including fontcest, frans, etc… Of course, we will do our best to make sure you’re paired up with an imp whose request you’ll be comfortable with!

🎄Communication is key to a great event. If you have any kind of problem related to the event, please don’t hesitate to send us an ask here, on or off anon, on any of our social media (Twitter, Bluesky), or to DM mod Cognito (@sin-cognito). We will do our best to reply and find a good solution as fast as we can. This goes for if you need more time to work on your gift and need an extension, if you have a major problem with your imp’s request/s, if there is a conflict between you and another participant…

🎄No spoiling the fun. Please don’t post your imp’s gift/s before December 25th (your timezone) on the Gyftmas discord server or any other social media site. Keep your imp’s name and request/s a secret until that date. If you need to ask your imp questions about their request/s and preferences, you can either do it on anon on tumblr, or ask a mod to contact your imp for you. Writers are allowed to have their fic/s be looked over by a beta reader, as long as the beta reader is not their imp and they won’t share the fic on the server or any other social media site.

🎄Be mindful of your imp’s request/s and their dislikes/triggers. This is a happy event, and the last thing we want is for a participant to be triggered by their gift, so be extra careful when making their gift/s. Once again, if you’re unsure of something, don’t hesitate to ask them in anon on tumblr, or to ask us mods to contact your imp for you. Better safe than sorry.

🎄 The Gyftmas 2025 event is a Secret Santa event, in which a participant is matched up with another participant to make them a gift. We call them a Santa and an Imp, where the Santa makes a gift for their Imp. Each participant will be someone’s Santa and someone’s Imp at the same time, meaning that you will receive a gift from your Santa and make a gift for your Imp. You will not know who your Santa is (thus making them a Secret Santa), but you will know who your Imp is and what they’d like as a gift. Make sure to keep your identity a secret from your Imp, so as not to spoil the surprise!!

🎄 As a Santa, you will receive your assignment with your Imp’s name, social media account (we encourage you to scroll through their blog/account to get a better grasp at what they like), pronouns and requests, as well as their dislikes/triggers if they have any so you can avoid them. There will be at least 3 different requests so if you’re not comfortable with one, you can choose another. Only 1 request is required, but you can make more if you want to and have the time.

🎄 This event is strictly 18+, meaning that we do not allow minors to participate. Any content is allowed in this event (SFW, suggestive, NSFW, dark), and you can request any ship you want (fontcest, frans, aged-up ships, etc…). You can go as wild as you want as long as you are respectful of each other.

🎄 If you have any question about the event, don’t hesitate to check out the FAQ, send us an ask (on or off anon), or send us an email at [email protected]!

🎄 Make sure to read our RULES before signing up to the event.
