In UnderParadis, one of the central themes I wanted to incorporate is internal growth. Not just skies and clouds and stuff.

So, when I was trying to make a design for Napstablook, I wanted him to come off as a socially awkward guy with social anxiety. So later in the story, he grows more confident and eventually start opening up to people and making new friends :D

And since Underparadis happens up in the "sky", I HAD to make him into a cloud spirit (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠) Since he's very scared of people, I thought he would hide in clouds a lot and thus, the plain white design so he can blend in and nobody would notice him!

But Napstablook isn't fully out of contact with other people, he is actually very close with his cousin, Mettaton! More on Mettaton later (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

The hat Napstablook wears is given by Mettaton and he looks so cool with it ^^

And that's all for today! This post was actually written a little earlier in may but I may or may have forgotten to post this until I remembered this draft existed so I changed the captions and now you've read this! :D

HESO ADORABLEE 🥺🥺🥺

I hope you enjoyed this bit of Underparadis and the reference sheet I made for Napstablook :D It's not that great but I like it. Oh! And I'm also working on giving him a nickname that everyone can refer to him without just saying "Underparadis! Napstablook"... I just don't know yet.

If you have any cool ideas or suggestions for his nickname or inspirations for Underparadis, you can comment on this post and I will probably think about it! ^^

Not going to lie, I hate coming up with hashtags 😭😭😭

Drink wooter and take care of yourself! Byyeeee!

(omg it took me too long to make this sort of overview(?) idk bro this is just underparadis' concept 😭😭😭)

Underparadis! or UP! is an alternate Undertale universe created by Lyrics Monster (Me) which inverts the setting of the story (or does it?). Instead of going underground, the child goes UP in the clouds. After meeting awesome monsters in the 'heavens' or the 'monster realm', she is adopted by Queen Toriel and learns of the brutal Human VS Monster War eons ago which led... To all of them trapped underground. Yes. They were never on the surface. What humans thought was the sky and only the sky, was the barrier or facade that hid the monsters who took the upper part of the realm. And monsters? They lived with the real ground above them but could not penetrate it no matter the force used nor strategy. As a child, Frisk did not care for the science or the history. What mattered was joy. Only that. They did not want to go back. This was happiness. Paradise. Yes it was. So soft. Clear air. Bright lights. Happy plants. Opposite of the rotting harsh realm underneath this plane. Even Goat mother loved her more than inventor father. That was all it was at first. Until Frisk realized...she was adopted only as a coping mechanism for the queen. Sadness had crept in. That wasn't supposed to be. They didn't want sadness! But they meet a strange skeleton. Comical lazy skeleton helps them cope too and talks to Toriel. Frisk meets the skeleton brothers and there they begin to feel... Determination. Maybe it was because of Papyrus wanting to be friends with humans or maybe it was the hidden leftover research under Sans' bed. One thing was clear. Even if they are different, they should coexist. Not avoid. Humans and Monsters.

Pacifist Ending:

Very canon :D

- Human and Monster reconcile.

- Frisk escapes false happiness.

- Toriel learns to love healthily.

- Everyone leaves the underground and they see the surface for the first time.

Neutral Ending:

Not canon but here's what would happen :D

- Frisk ignores the fact that she is someone's coping mechanism and continues to live in 'happiness'.

- Toriel does not change her mindset and is slowly chipping away at her own sanity.

- Nothing changes.

Genocide Ending:

... Not canon. Never. But if you want...

- In the end, frisk kills sans, but at what cost? The monster realm dissipates and Frisk falls to her death.

- Humans slowly die because of their own actions.

Here a drowing of cloud :D
