#masterpost au

Chara dies and got stuck inside the reset screen. They stuck in that unreachable void no one else can get to... not even Frisk.

(well they're not really stuck, but if they reset everything goes to shit so they don’t want to)

Corrupt!Aster is AU that starts off the same as C!Dings, except Dings also accidentally drags Aster into the Void the second time w/ him

Aster HATES the Void so much because isolation does not mix well with his anxiety. Esp not after he just got out and can finally talk to other people and also his family and its all gone again. Being in this state made him catches the glitch even earlier and faster than before and how he got corrupted incredibly bad

Dings doesn’t get corrupted that easily but BOI the guilt that builts up is so bad! Everytime Aster going even more corrupted, Dings losing his hope little by little to actually like... get out with Aster... if there’s still Aster left in there

Aster here, whenever he lose himself to the corruption, he would turned into a big void skeleton monster and go on rampage, unleashing attacks and all.

C!Aster would also be super manipulative? Whether they realized it or not. Aster is really REALLY scared to be left alone in the Void.. or just.. alone in general. So Dings is the only one around that he can latch to. Making sure he won’t ever leave him alone. Despite turning into his corrupted version a lot, C!Aster would make sure Dings sticks close to him no matter what

Okay not intentionally ruin everything but still

All the corrupted characters always goes up and fight each other whenever the corruption rises and things are awful

C!Chara noticed that the corruption tied strongly to their emotion so C!Chara sets em up to another game/world setting where they can..technically lived normally without dealing the stress and isolation in the Void. The game they picked up is apparently a dating sims game.

C!Chara puts em up in where the girls would be : Aster as Yuri, Dings as Sayori, Frisk as Natsuki, and Chara themself as Monika, where they can took control as the admin of the world

Dings is Sayori so the protagonist’s childhood friend, and practically the one that keeps everyone in check.. in a way. Dings keeps Frisk in check by.. probably fighting / arguing with them a lot? It keeps Frisk from getting their violent tendencies to the other or sth like that? And he make sure Aster takes good care of himself and stuff. Dings and Chara is generally good pal so yeah?

Aster is Yuri so he acts like.. well regular nice and calm Aster~

Frisk is Natsuki except they are 2x more likely to fight you because they can.. probably not bring cookie but idk?.. tbh Frisk would just waves those ilegal manga like hey bro bro ya wanna read some manga i got them good ones and its totally allowed in clubroom join us

Chara is Monika but still a pretty chill dude? Monika has somekind of strict aura coz she’s the president but Chara more like ehh ok you can join the club, or not, please don’t.

The Protagonist of course would enter the world at some point and it throw a wrench on the whole “safe and normal” settings chara has been trying to keep. Because, being a dating sim, the protag would definitely go for romance and love... and none of the characters are ready for that kind of emotion yet lol

So first part of the game goes normally like how DDLC goes, they all join the same club, get together, read poem, yada yada yada romance. Except here Chara is trying so hard to keep you from romancing the other characters.. like.. at all. But being a player on a dating sims, they gonna try anyway.. which will go the same way as DDLC goes, and ends the first part w/ Dings’ death

Second part starts and it goes normally except Chara is now even MORE determined to not have you there. (So I guess either the others invite you or you were checking clubs and stumble the one here and got caught in Frisk offer for free manga read) And during the glitched part, Chara would ALSO starts to glitch because of the stress and will start blaming you like “What have you done!?” “What part of DON’T GET TOO CLOSE TO EVERYONE DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND???!!”

the thing about Aster is that when he’s corrupted he is incredibly manipulative on keeping people to stay with him and very possesive too

Like Yuri lol

Aster would redirect you into going through his route no matter what

but unlike Yuri he would still look as calm and polite as he always is

Until that last bit

And also probably do that suicide thing Yuri does

I forgot what Frisk would do here but Frisk and Aster fight would not be pretty it would be incredibly awful and Aster would be the first to throw the awful degrading words first which is.. ya know.. incredibly out of character but dang he would

By the end of this part, depending on whether or not you heed Chara’s warning or not, they going to react to it and it will affect their involvement in the next part

If you heed their warning and not actively going through the romantic route, they would settle down and explains things as they are. And how you can possibly help them fix things up in the next run (because the stone has rolled on this one you have to restart regardless)

If you still stubbornly try to romance everyone or exhaust their glitchness to the fullest, Chara would just throw the towel and say FUCK IT YOU WANT TO MESS UP EVERYBODY SO BAD?! BE MY FUCKING GUEST YOU ASSHAT! And just... leave you alone through the new part

Third part the game would glitched so bad you end up in another game intirely. A murder mystery game. Your childhood friend has been missing for a long while and no one have any clue to their where about. Until you suddenly saw them on your way to school. You try to stop them but before you can get to them they were  gone.. again. You go back on your track and go to school.

There, Chara invites you to the Literature Club, only to stop you halfway to the clubroom, and depend on the result you get on the last one, Chara would either inform you about how to makes things better for the other (as in genuinely just going through friend route and not try to romance anyone please) or just “Have fun you asshole” and leave you alone in the clubroom filled with... Frisk, Aster and... Dings!

You tried to talk to Dings like where have you been what happened to you and Dings just look at you like you’re the dramatic one. “I know we’re not on the same class and club but jeez chill! I’ve always been on the club after school, guess that’s why we never catched up to each other.” And just.. goes on normally. The club goes as it is with everyone introduce themself and you get home with the poem homework

The next day you come to school and there’s rumors that some students are suddenly missing too. You’re not sure how to process the whole thing and you determined to figure out the truth from Dings, being one of the student who disappeared and just.. back again suddenly. Dings keep dodging the questions and thinks you are the paranoid one. Poem exchange time and you realized everyone’s poem are cryptic as hell. Like a puzzle of time and places but you can’t pinpoint what... yet. You go home for the day

Another day goes and out of curiosity, you try to ask around to Aster and Frisk’s classmates (you know they are on the same grade and upperclass) and you find out... they both also have disappeared for a while. You ask to Dings’ classmate and they answered no, Dings has not, in fact, been to class since... months ago. Despite him always constantly in the clubroom. Another student also missing too today, one of your classmate. You decide to approached all of them about this

Everyone thinks you are crazy and also reads too much of that mystery novel Aster gave you. Poem exchange time. Another time and place puzzle, this time you realized there’s also people appreance description there, that... strangely fits so well with your missing classmate! If you choose Chara last (and also Chara helping you in this route), they would invite you to walk home together. If you choose Chara first, they would ask you to “keep a close eye on the poems, you might find some hidden symbolism in it”. you go home together regardless, and Chara pulls you aside and ask if you figure out the clues yet. You both them put the puzzle pieces together and follows the directions. You find out where your classmate are. Dead. You called the police and ambulance and they go to the scene and question you for information. Chara answers most of the questions to make sure they won’t go to suspect you nor everyone in the club... yet.

this goes so long holy shit

fuck uh

Revelation moment, turns out Dings, Aster, AND Frisk are the ones behind the students disapperance and Frisk is the head of the operation. Later on finds out that Dings and Aster are actually ghosts who’s gone crazy and winds up killing people. even later on you finds out that Frisk was actually the one who killed them in the first place but they couldn’t remember Frisk’s face so they just go around in rampage
