It already is the 15th in some parts of the world and I just wanted to post this

Happy Birthday Undertale!

I really wanted to draw something for this game’s first birthday, so I did! It took an eternity, but it was worth it ;-; Undertale has only been out for a year, but it feel as if it was longer!

I… really want to thank Toby Fox that he made this game. Undertale is just awesome, I love the story, I love the characters, I love the gameplay, the soundtrack… and not only that, I met multiple good friends and wonderful people thanks to entering this fandom.

Now, those looking at the picture might have noticed something. AUs? On an Undertale birthday picture?

Yes!

It’s not only the birthday of Undertale. It’s also the birthday of a whole fandom! (if you don’t count the demo) And I don’t only want to thank Undertale, I want to thank the fandom as well, the fandom that has created so many wonderful stories and drawings and everything else.

And I have more to say! But under the cut, this’ll be a little bit longer…

Underswap by @popcornpr1nce

(there was an official tumblr with official information and stuff like that? but it seems as if it was deleted :’( )

Underswap. An AU that wasn’t created long after Undertale was released. I guess a lot of people don’t even know that it has a creator, haha.

Underswap is well known in the Undertale fandom and though its concept is very simple, there is still so much free space for own interpretations of the AU. I had to include it, simply because so many people love it, I couldn’t just leave it out!



Underfell by that one blog that needs a passwort

The origins of Underfell are very… mysterious. I think there was a creator but they only drew some designs, and then the fandom went crazy? I’m not sure…

Anyway, Underfell is, like Underswap, a very popular AU. It doesn’t have an official comic, but many artists that draw their own versions.

And with this, I want to thank @hiimtryingtounderfell for the wonderful Underfell comic (I used your Toriel and Frisk designs for the picture, I hope that’s okay). I really enjoy the way you portray the characters, you make them fit in the world of Underfell, while somehow still letting them keep parts of their original personality. And Frisk and Flowey are just really cute every time they argue xD

Outertale by @outertale

Since there is no official story about Outertale either, I can’t really say something about it. I just think the concept of Undertale in space is very interesting. I would like to see a comic of Outertale! …And I love the designs… ;-;

Storyshift by @ut-storyshift

I think this AU is really interesting. I like the idea of changing the characters’ positions, but keeping the personality. And I think the story is very well done. The characters feel natural in their new roles and it’s just intriguing to see how they act in their new positions ^-^

Underline by @underlineau

I like the way you portray Chara! :D They are awesome, haha. And your stories are really interesting! It’s nice to see comics that cover the moments the game didn’t :3



Reapertale by @renrink

This AU is interesting, because it could work outside of the Undertale universe too. Still, its story is tied to Undertale. And I like Reaper!Sans, his jokes are so morbid, haha.

Handplates by @zarla-s

Stop destroying my feelings… I want to save the poor skelebros ;-; Aaaah…this AU… It’s definitely not a light-hearted one, that’s for sure. But seriously, you do such a good job at conveying the atmosphere! That’s a good thing, right? Even though it hurts from time to time… xD

Underverse/Cross by @underversesans

Aaaah, your animations are so beautiful X_x And I love stories that take place in multiple universes, and since I love so many Undertale AUs, it’s a wonderful experience watching your videos ;-; One can see that you put a lot of work into them!

Core!Frisk by @dokudoki

Core has a really interesting concept and story… and I like their personality xD I’m excited for future comics about them, especially because they’re such an interesting character…

Ink by @comyet

There aren’t many official comics about Ink, but I’m happy we’re getting a backstory now! :D And I think he’s a good counterpart to Error, even though that wasn’t the intention, haha.

Also, Ink is hard to draw… e_e

Error, Fresh and Aftertale by @loverofpiggies

YOU HAVE SO MANY AUS AAAAAAAH

Oh god, where do I start… First, I wanted to say, Aftertale was the first Undertale comic I’ve read and it introduced me to the idea of AUs… And then I started reading Error, what an interesting character… I’m kinda sad that you don’t continue his comics, but that’s okay. I’m still excited for the video about his story :) And then there’s Fresh… tbh he’s not much of an Undertale character anymore, but he has developed so much in the last months, and I just love that parasite. And since his origins are in the Undertale fandom, I just had to include him, haha.

There are so many more AUs I haven’t mentioned yet or haven’t drawn on the picture. This is simply because I didn’t have enough time. But remember, even if your AU isn’t as well known as some others, even if your drawings or stories or whatever you’re creating don’t get a lot of notes, you are still a part of the Undertale fandom, you are still contributing to it, you are keeping it alive too!

And even though some hate on your creations because they don’t like them, don’t let them drag you down! Keep being creative! ^-^

Okay, I’ll leave you now, before this speech gets even more cheesy…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNDERTALE!

And to everyone who loves Undertale, have a nice day celebrating its birthday ^-^
