*SOBS* WHY DO I ENJOY TRAUMATIZING CHILDREN T^T

In Enmitytale, Sans spaces out a LOT, so when he's looking out the window, it has nothing to do with the storm.

Just after getting out of Barren Ground, Grillby used to have the same reaction to loud noises.

I fell down a rabbit hole and made a swap version of Enmitytale. . .

Grillby has opened up to very few people about his past.

When the war began, he lost his profession, his home, his family. . . 

He and his daughter, Fuku, barely got out when they did. Fuku was young, and hardly remembers this time, only how long it took her father to overcome his grief. 

The place they used to live, now bombarded with missile fire, would soon be known as Barren Ground, a completely uninhabitable stretch of ruined towns hostile to any living creature.

So no, Grillby doesn’t talk about his past. However, he’s learned to move on, to heal. His restaurant is the most popular hang out in Snowdin, and he and Fuku now live comfortably in the small town.

Of course, that all changed when Frisk went to have a little chat after closing time.

Upon their usual travels across the War Zones to aid civilians and evacuate refugees, Frisk discovered two very young skeleton monsters, without a home or a family.

Knowing Grillby’s past, and knowing the horrors the two boys had undeniably endured, Frisk figured the fire elemental would be the best choice for a caretaker.

At first, Grillby was reluctant to agree with Frisk’s idea. After all, he had a daughter and business to worry about. Adopting two children would only further complicate his life.

But then Frisk told him where they had found the brothers.

“That’s not possible,” Grillby said, shaking his head, “Nobody survives Barren Ground.”

“You did,” Frisk said, determined expression unchanged from where they sat across the counter.

Grillby set down the glass he had been cleaning. “That. . . That’s different. I wasn’t there nearly as long. Besides, they’re children, Frisk.”

“Which is exactly why they need you.”

Grillby looked down at his hands, leaning against the counter. The soft glow of his flames illuminated the dimly lit restaurant.

“Grillbz, I get it,” Frisk said, “You’ve got your daughter to worry about and a business to run. But these two don’t have anyone to look after them. You know probably better than anybody what Barren Ground is like. They’re just a couple of scared kids who’ve been traumatized in a way that no kid should have to be. 

“And right now, they need you.”

They let the silence settle for a moment, letting their words sink into Grillby’s mind. Then, they finished off their cup of milk, setting some change on the countertop as they got up.

“Just. . . think about it.” Frisk said, and then turned to leave.

They got halfway across the room before they heard a long sigh, like firewood crackling after a long day.

“Alright.”

Frisk looked back at Grillby, who had his arms crossed over his chest.

“You win. I’ll take them in.”

“Thank you, Grillby,” Frisk said with a smile. He shrugged.

“Don’t thank me. I owe you one, you know.” He said, “What are their names anyways? The brothers.”

“Sans and Papyrus.”

Just a little info dump for my undertale AU, Enmitytale.

I had a big brain moment and decided to make the main cast (other than Frisk and Chara) kids, because I love traumatizing little children apparently.

I also had another big brain moment and decided that it would be fun to have Grillby take care of the skelebros.

for enmitytale:

are sans and papyrus gonna be there too, or no?

do you have characters for the human mages?

whats the general story of enmitytale? what does it focus on?

omg you are so nice, thank you! ^///^

Yes, the skelebros are most definitely a part of Enmitytale! I don't think it's possible for me to not include them in an Undertale au, I love them too much XD

I am eventually planning on making some more human characters other than Frisk and Chara! The mages will play a significant role in human politics.

Enmitytale was primarily created as a way to show people that A) war is a horrendous thing, and B) the effects war has on the world. That being said, this au mainly focuses on these two points, and will mostly just go through how the main cast (as well as certain side characters) cope with these events.

Hope these answered your questions! Please let me know if any more cross your mind!

Enmitytale will mainly takes place in a wintery, semi-secluded, ex-military base called ✨Snowdin✨ located on the surface that's been recycled into a refugee camp/village.

This is where the main storyline of Enmitytale will take place, as the majority of the (main) characters have been evacuated to this area.

Sans and Papyrus live with Grillby and his daughter, Fuku.

Undyne lives with Gerson.

Alphys is with her mother, Cari.

(I'm still working out who'll be in the main cast, but this is what I got so far lol)
