3 -> DAY 4 - Gachapon <- 5

Day three of Ink being in places he shouldn’t. Imagine being bullied by teens that act like early 2000s cartoon characters.

(I realized I have drawn and posted about Y2Tale once in a way that should barely count, I need to rectify that.)

Extras under the cut.

Doodles

(The last two are sketches I drew yesterday (January 29) early in the morning, but somehow didn't post them, and now I figured why not?

Because if I don't finish them)

(Translation of the text on the arts:

1. *wears his scarf for the first time in years – a gift from his brother as a toddler*

2. *gets emotional because he hasn't seen his brother in his scarf in so long*

3. Sans, Toriel, and Alphys in public and private

4. Toriel and Sans's reactions to each other's uniforms)

one of my favorite characters :3

Underswap Alphys :3>

finally got Alphys's design done, ref sheet is on the way!

See two previous posts for context - Tantale Alphys and Mettaton Alphys only has a short cameo and for Mettaton, only a blink and you'll miss it silhouette was seen !

Another thing that personally bothers me as an Alphys enjoyer is how little both aspects of her personality are utilized. Yes she has committed war crimes but she is ALSO a dorky anime lover.

This is not to trash on either aspect of her. If you want to portray Alphys as just a dorky anime lover, that is okay. If you want to portray Alphys as some horrible woman who committed atrocities in the name of the king, that is also fine.

But I personally think the BEST Alphys variants are mixes of both of these. They take her parts, weave them together, and make her whole.

Take my favorite Alphys-Centered AU for example, by tumblr user @/artsyrean, Doctor Megalo.

Doctor Megalo first of all, is an absolutely amazingly written AU, and deserves so much more attention already, go check it out.

Second of all, Doctor Megalo takes the aspect of her committing these egregious sins, and balances it out with her deep understanding of others, and that nerdy urge to just simply be cool. It’s a wonderful blend that truly makes this Alphys stand out to me, because it simply feels like her. It feels like Alphys and I must commend Artsy for this. She truly feels like herself.
