#undertale perseverance

Here me out: Undertale AU where instead of killing the other six fallen humans, Asgore kept them all alive and has been raising them. (Except everyone else was under the misconception he actually killed them. Cuz he still made the whole declaration of war against humanity. Just wussed out when it came to actually following through.)

(The only person who knows the other humans are alive is Mad Dummy/Maddie, because she swears there's this stupid human child in an Aqua dress and bow that likes stabbing her when she does her part time shift at the castle. No one believes her.)

fallen humans (new lineup based on chap5 info)

closeups + pixel vers. + other stuff under cut

woah those humans can sure go to college!

i finally give to you my concepts for the rest of the fallen humans if they were in deltarune :] bonus full lineup including the OGs below:

Alright so big disclaimer this...essay...ramble...something is being written at 7 PM so I may need to tweak, fix, and rewrite things later in the morning.

So: as most people know, the six human souls were six humans that climbed Mount Ebott, fell in, and then died at some point. They are extremely vague and leave a lot of room for a lot of discussion.

Who were they, why did they die, how did they die, who killed them, what killed them, why they had the items they had, etc, etc.

They have very basic information on them, yes, but nothing extremely big about...well...any of them.

I already made a huge post about each of the human souls with fellow soul enthusiasts, their armor, weapons, and other information, so if you want a good read, go read that.

So...that's out of the way. Now I have a thought...a wonder...if they're so expansive...so empty and uncharacterized...why are they neglected by the fandom?

Go ahead, search them up, I'm right. Most people do are designs and a bit of writing, but it's only a very specific subsection of the community that does anything with those takes, such as prequel fangames, fan comics, fanfics, etc.

In fact...most people just don't bother to design Justice and just slap on Clover without being unique with it, not even a different design, just Clover.

So...why?

Well: I explained it above. They're not known. They don't have names, designs, or stories. People want to write what they know more often then not. It's why we have so many sans fangames, fanfics, and AUs rather then more content for the human souls or ANY other UT character really.

It's also why Clover is just slapped into most timelines. Undertale: Yellow is an extremely popular fangame, and many take it as canon (EVEN THOUGHT IT ISN'T-) so...it's only fair they'd decide to just use them and make it easier on themselves.

That's actually a secondary reasoning! Not many people want to put most effort into their stories and simply focus on the designs, and so they don't put much attention on their stories, or more importantly, the amount of information we do know on each soul.

Sometimes however, I feel there's a third reason...

I sometimes feel as if people forget these souls...ARE CHARACTERS.

(Well...were.)

They USED to be people. They used to be CHILDREN. They used to be kids that entered Mount Ebott and explored the Underground in vain to how Frisk did, only to eventually come across something they could not get past, and lose their will, losing their determination, and sealing their fate.

The human souls are extremely tragic and their tragedy and depth is large enough to make me confused others don't focus on them as much as they honestly deserve to be focused on.

In my opinion, if most people focused more on the human souls, we'd have more prequels done then just UTY. I feel we'd have a lot of works in many different mediums with different plots, timelines, all of that!
