So uh... A few days ago I posted about an idea of an Undertale AU (I will expand it), and guess what?
Turns out I just made another StoryShift AU. I have seen AUs with royal skelly-bros and commoners Asgore and Toriel, so I had the idea to make my own. I stumbled across the OG (I think) StoryShift (with Chara as the judge and Papyrus as Toriel) a few days after posting my first draft.
Gonna say, it is extremely funny. There are several StoryShift type of AUs, one of them is made by the original creator of UnderSwap (it's really nice, it takes groups of 4 and swaps them, so we get Royal Scientist Asgore, Royal Guard Toriel and Old Women Yuri in the form of Queens Undyne and Alphys. I think it never went beyond the idea point).
Nobody is judging me (yet...) and the realization came to me by itself, but I wanted to do something different, and now that idea is only stronger. There is a saying that two people do not see the same colour the same way, and I believe it to be the same for characters. I will continue working on my AU, but I will not copy other StoryShifts. Any similarities are pure accidents.
If someone is confused by this post, they can check my blog for the AU draft.
Also, I very much like the swap of Sans and Toriel. We still get the Soriel jokes duo, but thinking about the angst of Toriel not being able to save the humans right before their meeting with the king and how much the Ruins suit Sans, with him chilling in the leaves with Froggits and Whimsuns, is kinda therapeutic.
