ESSY'S NAMES FOR VARIOUS UNDERTALE AU CHARACTERS (ͥ° ÍÊ ÍĄÂ°)
So thought this would be a fun thing to do, to write down and tell you all the nicknames I have for all my takes on different Undertale Au characters, not only the skeletons in those verses but also like Asgore's, Grillbies etc, I will also explain a bit as to why they are nicknamed as such because I can, not all characters has been worked on or given nicknames as of yet tho so not everyone will be there, also I so did this just so I could procrastinate on everything else I need to do but fuck it here goes!
Swap Pap = Stretch, one of the most common nicknames for him and which I ended up sticking with too, at first I refused and just called him Papy but it got a bit hard to do for some reason, think it was that when I read fanfics I got tired of replacing Stretch with Papy in my head because I did that for some frikking reason, so gave up, still call him that on occasion but Stretch is the main nickname I have for him
Swap Sans = Berry, which originated from the Blueberry nickname most ppl call him by, I did at first nickname him Blue but eventually ended preferring to call him Berry, as it sounds like Barry and makes me think of like this muscular pretty tall guy with a beard, which is how I see Berry except with no beard pfft
Swap Asgore = Fluffy, because he is super duper fluffy in how I draw him, like his hair is super curly and fluffy and you could probably end up lost in there with how big and fluffy it is, hence the nickname
Swap Chara = Skorpan, a nickname of a character from a childrenâs book, who was nicknamed that by his brother who really liked the Swedish bread skorpa. Which is this hard bread which translates into rusk/crust/biscuit, skorpa is also part of the word sĂ„rskorpa which is scab but in Swedish.Â
Swap Frisk = Finley, name means âblond warriorâ, I just find the name nice, they are not blonde.Â
Swap Alphys = Marks, because of the scars she has over her right eye, know that the usual swap Alphys got the scars and stuff on the left side but I went with the right so it would be swapped from UT Undyne, because swapping random things is what I do with my take on them
Swap Undyne = Frecks, because she got allot of freckles all over her body
Swap Grillby = Pot, which is obviously because of him having allot of tea pots
Swap Muffet = Dulce, a name meaning candy/sweet, because she makes sweets and candy. Though Dulce is actually her surname, her real name is something she doesnât like to be called. Â

Swap Toriel = Braid, because she got a bit of a goatee/beard which is braided
Swap Asriel = Floppy, because floppy earsÂ
