Ok so hear me out.
This is in reference to my take to Dusttale, or more accurately, the aftermath/sequel to Dusttale.
I’ve posted about this “revamp” of this AU in a previous post, but as a refresher:
This AU of an AU takes place after the events of Dusttale with some minor alterations. The story will mainly revolve around the survivors (heavily NPC based, with some main characters & my OC Vani). However, a few of the survivors try to bring back the dead by using a DT injections (much like in the game, except in this version: Alphys used Artificial Determination while the survivors use Determination collected from the human souls), also these new DT injections are mixed with the 7 human soul traits. This does work, but with some minor complications, which will be explained more in the notes.
Now to explain the question:
Basically the author of the notes is writing down their research & findings of each human souls; things like how common each trait are within humans, what injection they are used in, side effects of said injections, rpg style stats, etc. However there are 2 items of information that I might need some help on: What sound/pitch each soul trait makes &, for a hint of humor because “Undertale”, what each soul traits tastes like.
That’s where I looking to you all for assistance/headcanons for this.
*Side Note: When I say sound/pitch, I’m referring to the amount of Hertz (which I think is the measurement of sound wave frequency or pitch)*
*Side Side Note: In this AU, the red human soul trait is not Determination (since all humans have it) but instead is Willpower (I’ve seen a few saying it could be Love since its in red, but I think Willpower makes more sense)*
I already have the frequency picked for each soul, now I’m just trying to figure out what specific sound/noise they make.

So I’m starting to get back into the Undertale AUs fandom, and looking back through my past art, I found some rough pencil drawings of what I think was a ship child between Toriel & Sans along with other AUs:
After getting a lot of Undertale AU content on YouTube, mainly videos involving the Murder Time Trio, I got inspired to redesign this character and their alternate versions.
The AUs that I’m gonna be working on:
Undertale
Underfell
Underswap
Swapfell
Fellswap
Outertale
Horrortale
Dancetale
Reapertale
Dusttale
XTale
Killer AU
Dreamtale (Dream/Nightmare)
Underkeep
Birdtale
Plus anymore that you guys suggest.
Now I know alternate versions would probably not be likely in a few of these AUs, but this is more for designing and personality building between the versions.
I’ll post the redesign of the attached character, and then start working on their alternate versions.
Rainbow falls au.. Mlp x Gravity falls! The Old Pinestwins! My one million notes shall be heard..
Here are the clothing rough drafts for Century, Vani & Sabon.
Century
Vani
Sabon
I didn’t have a lot of ideas for Century, just that I wanted him to look similar to Neue & Avenir.
However, Vani & Sabon were a bit easier since I already had ideas for their clothing. I was trying to give Vani & Sabon almost Chara & Flowey vibes with their outfits.
I was starting to get overwhelmed by drawing the clothing rough drafts, so I’m gonna start on the clothing lineart & coloring.
I’m also testing out black lineart vs colored lineart, comment down below which one you like.
Anyway here is the finished final draft for Neue:
I’m gonna create wikis for Neue & his AU Variants once I’m done with all the final drafts.
Also here’s the lineart for just the body as well:
The name for Underswap Neue is “Merriweather”.
Here is the rough draft of Merri:
She’s based off a Finnish Landrace Goat, which the females do have horns.
In case it’s not obvious, this version of Neue (along with most of any swap au) is female. The lower goat half will extend to the chest area, causing the upper chest/shoulder area to become opaque to transparent instead of the stomach area.
She’s taller than Roman, but shorter than Neue.
I forgot to mention, but the reason they don’t have any clothing yet is because I want to complete off the body designs and I’m still thinking about what they would wear, so any suggestions are welcomed.
I also might change the mouth designs when I do a reference sheet for the variants.
I want to try doing those verbal scenarios with my OC(s) listed below:
(I still don’t have names for them yet, so we’ll just refer to them by the nick names on their pictures)
If you all have any ideas for scenarios for the characters, please comment down below.
Later I’ll try to draw these scenarios once I have their designs down.
This variant’s name is “Quire”.
Here is the rough draft:
He is based off the Danish Landrace Goat.
He is a bit shorter than Century and Avenir.
*Note: I might make comics or short stories with these characters, mainly to build character and relationships*
I’m gonna be doing both Swapfell and Fellswap since I really like both of them.
Swapfell Neue’s name is “Miriam”.
Here is the rough draft:
She is based off a Pygmy Goat, which means she’s really short. She’s actually the shortest of the AU Neues.
*Note: The names might change in the future*
