A very cool page!
It's a surprise that you decided that Kindness would be a murderous child. But it's interesting and changing from most frequent headcanons. (Though, I still headcanon Kindness to be… well, kind. ^^) I'm intrigued about Justice too. Most people theorize that they were the one to shoot in Undyne's eye, but I think it's a too easy guess. I'm curious to see if you'll follow this or not.
However, why do you think that Undyne's hair is actually a fin? In the canon game we see clearly that it is actual hair, lol. (It waves in the wind and it's styled differently when she dressed up for the date with Alphys.)
(And the panel when we see Papyrus and Frisk hug, with their Souls being linked together… Whyyyy do you have to tease my shipper heart so much?? >////<" It looks just so perfect and cute!)

Hey, you made me ship it first! But you'll be pleased to know I have a lot of cute, fluffy, and angsty moments between the two of them planned for the future.
As for Kindness being murderous, well, there's a bit more to the story than meets the eye, and I'm excited to write that part! After all, everyone has a breaking point. And as for Justice, I also have plans, but they are probably gonna be different than most people's headcannons!
As for Undyne's hair, she never seemed the type to keep it long. Her Anime Protagonist Syndrome aside, she's a soldier at heart, and keeping her hair long just seems kinda illogical considering the type of job she holds, so I always interpreted her "hair" to be something she couldn't cut short. I used to make her hair look a bit like seaweed, but then I saw an Underfell Undyne concept art with the fins, and it looked too badass for me not to use as inspiration. Sides, who says you can't style fins?

But I didn't know that I'd manage to make somebody ship it! ToT Considering that this ship is so unpopular, the chances my writing would affect anyone that way were VERY tiny. (But I'm glad it happened, because it had healed some of my sudden insecurities about writing Papyrisk stuff.) It's just that the number of people shipping them is so small and the art being so rare, thus seeing your panel just made my heart explode! Finding some Papyrisk content equals to finding a treasure.
I do get your point about Undyne's personality and hair connection. But just to say, Merida (mostly her OUAT version) has a personality pretty similar to Undyne's and yet she lets her hair long and loose, haha. The OUAT Mulan also has long hair. Just a remark, not a critique. ^^ This design is actually pretty fitting, I was just a bit surprised because I always pictured Undyne with actual hair.
I am interested and wait forward the parts about the fallen humans. I personally am very interested in them, and this is what led me to get interested in the UT fan games (notably "UT Yellow" and "UT Patience"). There are just so many possibilities about the humans. I personally headcanon Bravery and Justice being boys, while Patience and Integrity being girls. However, just like with Chara, I struggle when it comes to Kindness and Perseverance! On one hand, it's cool to see a cute girl being the one with an apron and frying pan, like in an anime style, but on the other hand, it's pretty cool to see boys being excellent cooks. (I mean, Gordon Ramsey is considered to be the best cook in the world!) Sorry for the ramble, haha. ^^"

Never be insecure about a ship. If you ship a rare pair, it’s your duty to make more content for it! The only drawback is making your own content can be a pain in the ass sometimes though so there is that....
But yeah, as a Papyrisk shipper myself, I do like to indulge myself a little.
And go ahead and ramble away! I enjoy discussing Undertale things with people!

Creating stuff isn't a problem to me (for now). But sadly, the Frans ship feels a bit oppressing and sometimes I feel like being a white crow. As if thinking that they wouldn't work as a couple makes me an alien, because 90% of the fandom sees it as "the best ship". People always point out why they think Papyrisk is "bad" or doesn't work, yet they don't aknowledge some flaws of Frans. (No ship is perfect, but let's all be fair.) As a proof, if you browse through UT ships stamps, you'll find NO stamp with Papyrisk. You'll find all the most unlikely ships, but no Papyrisk. But more to that, I found an anti-papyrisk stamp! The discovery and all the comments beneath felt like daggers, because my opinion is too alien. I'm seriously considering to make a stamp for this ship myself, to correct this unfairness.
(Oh, and to be clear, I don't hate Frans. I just think the couple doesn't work for the reason of trust issues and because I can't see Sans dating anyone.)

Yeah I personally don't see Frans either. There are a few Sans ships I have (Grillby x Sans being one of my favorites), but Sans always seemed like more of a duncle or a big brother to Frisk than a romantic interest. And keep on creating stuff! It's the best way to get our things out there! And us shippers may be small in numbers, but we're big in heart!

Argh, please don't use the term "duncle"! It makes no sense! XD It's supposingly a mix of "dad" and "uncle", right? How can there even be such a mix, if being a father or an uncle are totally different roles from the point of view of sociology.
But yeah, to me Sans seems like an easy-going big bro to Frisk than anything else. The trust issues (whether or not Frisk does genocide) would only make their couple toxic. Trust is fundamental for a lasting relationship. "You'd be dead where you stand" is what prevents me from shipping them.
I don't mind the Sansby ship, but it still feels kinda silly. It's the same as if I suddenly went to ask the manager of the Burger King nearby for a date. XD
I don't ship Sans with anyone, actually. Whether it's with Frisk, Toriel, Grillby, OCs... Sans looks to me like that fun single guy who lives much better by himself. He's basically like a castrated cat! LOL
What about Soriel? I don't ship it because I love the idea of Toriel getting back with Asgore (after sorting their issues). Asgoriel just feels like they belong together, no matter what. <3 People ship Soriel mainly because the two love puns. But saying that having ONE thing in common is enough to make a couple, it's reducing the notion of a romantic relationship. But that's just my opinion. ^^

Hey, it depends on the role of the uncle. I personally enjoy the word very much, but I get it if you dislike it.
When it comes to me and ships, all it really takes is a good comic about the couple and I’ll be falling for it pretty quickly, but I’m weird that way. It’s basically fancomics that got me sold on Sans and Grillby. I do enjoy Soriel from time to time, but it wouldn’t work for my comic. Plus, Zarla’s comic of Sans asking to call Toriel “mom” got me sold on a motherly relationship between them. I personally don’t see Toriel and Asgore getting back together, more like deciding to be just friends and moving on, though I do enjoy the paring. But like I said, it all depends on the context of the story. But that’s my take on things

I do agree with you that it all depends on how things are presented in a story, and I can see why you'd like Sansby. Even though I don't ship them, I do agree that they're kinda cute together. ^^ And it's true that in the context of "Handplates", Soriel wouldn't work, because since Toriel was Gaster's foster mom, her dating Sans would be kinda sick. Zarla also made me want Asgore and Toriel get back together, actually. Seeing this sad and heartbroken goat-dad makes me want him get the love of his life back.
It's true that an uncle can be like a father figure in some cases, but mostly the role of a father and of an uncle differ pretty much. Especially that there's no female counterpart of a duncle. A woman cannot be a mother and an aunt at once. Each family member has their social role. I maybe am taking those matters too seriously, but for someone who's studied family law long and wide, those questions (legal and sociology aspects) are hard to ignore. But I get that those who didn't study it care less about this stuff. You can like the duncle thing, it's just not for me, haha. ^^

1) I LOVE your Undyne design!!
2) Oh, interesting that Kindness is the one killing monsters here, and Justice was the the one unfairly killed... In most AUs I see, it's usually either Integrity or Justice that have killed monsters, accidentally or otherwise. And oddly enough, at least two AUs made Justice responsible for quite specifically killing the skelebros' mother? Make of that what you will. But I'm curious about this 'kill 'em with kindness' thing Kindness' got going on.
And yeah, I agree about the Undying being difficult.painful to sustain! I headcanon that the Undying is a form Undyne can sustain only for a *very* short time, and after that she'd either die or become an amalgamate.

Thanks! I linked the inspiration in the page before. It was a concept art for an Underfell Undyne that I liked a lot, since I always thought of her "hair" as fish fins. And Kindness has a bit of a story, and let's just say I'm pretty excited to tell that one. Your right in saying Undyne can't sustain her Undying form for too long, especially when we're constantly striking at her during a genocide. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately, since I love drawing it), this isn't the last time we're gonna see that form of hers.

Hey, likewise! I made mine's hair a fin too, though it doesn't go along her back.
Oh boy. Also cannot wait for Kindness, because they're usually always the one who never fights back, and now they're a genocider. So curious what the story is there.
Ooooooh boy. Also a pretty good point... Doesn't she kinda melt anyway when we kill her on a neutral run, too?
True. It's a very sweet form.

MotherOfTheUniverse In reply to LKWayvern [2019-08-07 20:18:48 +0000 UTC]
She does, but the melting always seemed a bit different in the neutral run. Probably because we're not out to destroy the world this time. There's so much story to explore in Undertale, and I wanna cover as much of it as I possibly can by the time I finish this comic. Though, I do have a long LONG way to go. Our MC's haven't even started exploring the ruins yet!
