‎Also imo a cool choice to Rauska more Flowey-like since Ralsei in DR refs Flowey & Asriel alot (even the name bruh).

‎I also wish to hug the Rauska (wonder how [f̶̶l̶̶u̶̶f̶̶f̶̶y̶] thorny they'd be)

‎

Yep! The Halloween comic is meant to take place in a vague post-canon where Rauska is there on the surface (light world) so he can hang out with his friends. I felt bad for leaving him out lol.

Also… happy Tetrarune Tuesday! Your ask perfectly aligned with the art I wanted to share today :p

The choice to have Rauska/Flowey as the third party member was cause I didn’t want to bring any of the adult UTY cast into it, and now it just isn’t possible. Flowey is such a standout character in yellow i wanted to have his vibes still around. He’s also technically a prince of the dark, right? At least, Rauska calls himself that.

I am going through the Tumblr tag and asking the same questions to people I see there.

I tried answering this a few weeks ago but because I wasn't really satisfied with it and stored it away. Now that I'm back in the trenches I feel I can answer this a lot better so here we go-

I'm honestly taking a couple things from UTRY (even if I have my criticisms about it, there are concepts that are Fun and it's my biggest frame of reference for thinking about those two as a copow enjoyer, so I'm inherently biased if that's not what you're looking for).

If those two ever get along, it would probably take a verrryyyyyyy long time. I'm talking in any non-confrontational circumstances months or maybe years. First impressions would not be great, mostly instigated by Chara and their whole hating humans deal. But I do think both of them hold so strongly to their own beliefs (Chara being very black and white, Clover wanting to see the best in everything) that butting heads would be the easiest thing for either of them to do at first.

They would need to be in each others presence for long enough that the two of them might see their similarities and end up with a begrudging truce to eventual understanding respect. Both highly sacrificial to the end and willing to put in the work to do so when it came to helping monsters. Going so far as to do what they did, to give up their own selves even if no one wanted them to. Again, probably very slow burn unless they were forced to work together, mainly Clover would try to get closer overtime to understand Chara. And the first few tries would certainly not be appreciated.

i could see the idea that Chara could exploit Clover having anger issues to intentionally antagonize them, push them away, or try to reiterate that humanity is bad. I can see Clover thinking Chara might be someone who's mind they have to change, becoming more and more frustrated with them making increasingly impulsive actions to try and change their mind.

Whether or not it actually works could be up to interpretation. It could depend on how far along they are in their respective arcs, if it's a revival AU or timeline switch, or whatever.

I wanted to ask, what is your take on Clover's characteri and personality and beliefs of justice?

I have asked of this question to someone and their answer was long and cool. They were also LGBTQ+. I am interested to know your answer too

It amazes me of a quiet cowboy types and I saw you have deltarune but Undertale yellow, I have not finished deltarune because I do not think translation is available for me but I will check out your comic because I like your fic

If you are okay too answer another, how does your copow dynamic work? I saw it is not love romance

I believe I have seen the answer to the other person you have asked, so I will try to keep this to what differences I have.

I lean a lot more towards UTY Clover and their quiet, mostly serious yet internally silly demeanor. I headcanon that they were a parentified older sibling, meaning they were made to take care of younger kids as their parents had too many to reasonably take care of or just did not at all. Thus they grew up to feel a lot of responsibility they should not have had. This however instilled in them their sense of justice, along with movies and shows. Clover wanted to take the mantle of a hero who helped others in need seeing injustice first hand. They reluctantly left to find the missing kids because it was a more dire situation, to prove to others that they were capable, and even though they did not want to admit it they wanted to run away. They dressed the part of a "hero" because it gave them confidence.

Clover does not apply the same ideas of justice and fairness onto themself as they do with others. They do not want help or a break because they want to be capable of enduring anything. Yet they still have those moments of being silly or lighthearted because they are a kid, and they have to comfort themself somehow. They can be strongly opinionated, but often keep it to themself for fear of others reactions. They want to help anyone and everyone and are an extreme people-pleaser, up until they follow their worst impulses and they snap and blow up in anger. After an outburst, Clover always feels extremely guilty for not having a hold on their emotions, leading to that extremely repressed emotionless expression they have.

Tetrarune Clover is very much a culmination of these aspects of them. All of their worst attributes have stuck with them for so much longer, well into their teens. In chapter 1 part 1, them being angry at Kanako was not just for her being extremely insistent. I do not want to say too much about Tetrarune as I want to let the writing speak for itself, so that is all I will bring up. Thank you for being interested despite the language barrier!

My interpretation of Cocoapowder was always going to be a little different than normal shipping because I am romance repulsed, meaning I do not like typical depictions of romance to the point where it actively grosses me out sometimes. I have spent a lot of time picking apart UTRY's dynamic of Clover and Chara with how the two are portrayed in their original work. Mostly that they are both very similar in their self-sacificial nature and strong ideas of right and wrong, while being very different in Clover being a lot more forgiving and Chara holding onto grudges. Both put up facades to hide their weaknesses, both wanted monsterkind to be free regardless of the consequences, both are kids who have been failed by the adults around them.

Tho it felt when seeing it, but I finally know why

It's because Clover was drawn more with their pink sweater on from Toriel. I'm more used to seeing them wearing it

I will be truthful, i thought the sweater Clover was wearing in the flashback WAS a green sweater (The pic on the left I drew last year). Idk I thought Toriel just dressed up all the kids the same LMAO but I now consider it was probably just Chara emulating Asriel.

As much as I'm a big sucker for Clover revivals I thought it would be fun to throw a punch to the gut this time :p

Also I was gonna make something silly because "Asriel shove their soul back in!' made me laugh but I accidentally locked in and made something serious
