#coretale frisk

Should probably ask someone more knowledgeable about Core Frisk and the Omega Timeline, but I decided to give this wiki a read through for now (reminder that fanon wikis aren’t reliable most of the time, and even this one states in the trivia section that even with most of the information provided having been lifted from the official OT discord server, it is not all strictly canon to Core).

Anyway, if we just go off general well known country stereotypes, maybe Switzerland? Or a county with a lot of land and forests. So, according to Google, a place like Russia or Canada?

stuff from the caring animation short that i noticed.

(So I was rewatching Othertale: Before the Hack (part 1) a few days ago and posting about it, which you can find here, and I was making & taking notes on Othertale Undyne.

I’ll make a post about that soon when I get around to rewatching the Experiment short, so notes from that short and BtH (pt.1) will be in one post.

I may also make separate posts for Othertale Papyrus & Alphys if I can find the motivation. But for now, here’s the notes on the Caring animation short for anyone who is interested.)

1. First off, Core’s piece of advice for Color stood out to me.

“Some care but they lose it by time, and others care but it’ll be dangerous over time. Are you either of them?”

What is that supposed to mean kiddo.

2. Just how long were they standing there before Color noticed? They had to call out bro by name just to snap him out of his dissociative state.

Is that just what he did when Gaster wasn’t around? Just sit there and stare at nothing and escape into his mind.

3. He says while pointing the rainbow beam at them. (Im assuming this is because Core still looks like a Frisk.)

(I also noticed that this is something Color and Ivory have in common. When Ivory was confronted by Gaster after being led into the Void, she summons her weapon and states her intentions clearly—something like “if you come near me/take another step, I will hurt you”—and kept her eye and weapon on her perceived enemy.

Color seems to be doing the same. Before this scene Core tells Color to please but the rainbow beam away because “you will hurt yourself,” to which Color responds that he won’t hurt them.

Seems possibly taken a few ways. One being that Color seems to have developed a very concerning lack of concern for himself while in the Void—not only was it implied that he almost killed himself and shattered trying to escape before (and only survived because of Gaster), but it seems that he’s willing to use one of his most powerful weapons to protect Gaster even if it harms himself, with his fragile body.

The other could be that Gaster kinda made it a habit to point out how fragile Color’s body is, in comparison to his power, and now Color instinctively feels the need to assert that it doesn’t make him helpless or incapable. Or in the case of a possible enemy, any less of a threat—someone to be taken seriously.

Another could just be that he is stating his intentions—that he won’t and doesn’t want to hurt Core—while still being wary.

And of course, it could be a mixture of all three or something else entirely. Keeping in mind his possible state of mind during this encounter, first interaction he’s had outside of Gaster in years and he was just dissociating heavily a moment before.)

4. His angry/wary expression is very pretty.

His face is very cute but sad in the bottom one.

5. Frisk why are you gaslighting this man 🗣️ 🗣️. You are gonna make him think he’s hallucinating bro!!

So. What if Nightmare wanted in?

(Art by @/nyublackneko creator of Mafiatale in a collaboration comic with @/dokudoki creator of Core Frisk)

What if Nightmare pointed an empty gun at Frisk? Even if Frisk knows it's empty, it's still a gun, and they still have PTSD. Nightmare can't shoot, and wouldn't if he could. But while pointing it at Frisk, he could ask how to get into the OT

While I doubt Frisk would give the information to Nightmare... under these circumstances, I can't say for sure, there's many ways this could be handled

But it's more to show that Nightmare will use people in vulnerable situations and if they aren't in one, he'll make them into one

Also as a bonus here's how they calmed CF down in the comic (LINK TO COMIC)

They also used this fact for their service "DADS" (Dumb Asks Disposal Services) to send asks to the sun for them to be burned, this is very obvious in the "Ask Drunk Chara" au/comic

They also canonically have another service "TITS" which stands for "Tiny Instant Travel Services" (or something similar to that)

(Just some ramblings)

The more I learn about Core Frisk the more im curious because why is this kiddo running magical business services and one of them is called TITS 💀 (instant travel services? Tiny? Who is the service for?)

(To make this easier to read, I’m going to give Othertale Papyrus and Undyne their own nicknames like I did for Ultratale’s Bravery Soul, who I nicknamed Beta.

In this case, Othertale!Undyne will be referred to as Ivory. It’s a color name, because Othertale’s Sans is called Color, but also ivory is material historically used to create piano keys. Othertale Undyne is canonically a pianist.

For Othertale!Papyrus, I will call him Sage. Sage is a color name as well, but it also means “wise/wisdom.” I remember reading that Othertale! Papyrus has more an interest in teaching.)

Because in Othertale, it’s said that Papyrus doesn’t have any motivations to join the Royal Guard or anything. Instead I remember hearing that he takes more of an interest in being a teacher, something about Math.

So while in the Omega Timeline, I like to think that Ivory/Undyne keeps up her piano playing concerts and Papyrus/Sage becomes a math teacher.

And whenever possible Sage stops by Color and Delta’s apartment to tutor Beta because the kid’s situation of sharing a body with an adult likely means Delta doesn’t have time to let the kid sit in a classroom for hours a day when he has to make money.

Maybe Ivory teaches Beta how to play piano too, and Sage and Ivory invite Color, Beta, and Delta to attend Ivory’s piano recitals.

This could also be another reason Color has such a hard time staying in the Omega Timeline; Sage and Ivory were probably told how the script of their AU originally was, and now with the lost of their AU, they try to cling to Color even though they don’t actually remember him as Sans or remember a Sans.

This is no longer canon

But it could make for a cool fic if you figured out how to set it up

After being thrown into the core, they turn gray. But it's implied that they have horrible scars or something adjacent to scars on their back in some fan art by a close friend (the artist who made the au "Ask Drunk Chara")

And also just the core fucking up their skin making it itchy. Any other clothes that aren't the ones they were thrown in feels uncomfortable, no matter how spft it is

An eye irritation would also be there if they had eyes (those are just eye sockets)

Anyways I should go to eep but I probably won't
