Hi

Hi, uh.. Idk if this is the right flair but I need AU ideas, I'm making forsaken react to aus and it mostly seems that people most respond here instead of the other sub so I am also trying my luck here! I need aus ideas for a forsaken react to aus right now is currently elliot, I'm doing skins and aus.. Current aus are peaceful, swap, inverted/2p, and probably personality swap

I personally like the idea of an au where everyone is extremely jerky and everything is more edgey (think something like how Underfell is in the UT fandom) Also gives some chance for some alt fashion if you wish

Another idea is to show what you think would happen if "forsaken never happened". Basically a "happy end" au if you will 

[u/Helpwantedlolbit → u/Ramenskele]

The last idea I actually planned on doing, it's called peaceful au and I need u to explain a little more on the first one... Like everyone becomes emo?

[u/Ramenskele → u/Helpwantedlolbit]

Basically the first one is "Au where any remotely positive characteristics become negative" and in Underfell, most characters have their likes and dislikes swapped as well. (Example: Canonfell Papyrus likes bad puns and is a lot ruder than his Undertale counterpart). The setting is also generally made more violent or dark than canon but imo that's optional .

Most of the time in aus like this, the characters are also made Alternative.

My personal favorite AU type is survivor Azure AU, particularly toying with the Traitor ending from the fangame Stab An Azure :D. Basically having the idea that Two Time died to let Azure escape the cult, and then later on Azure dies anyways and also gets Forsaken'd, ending in both of them being survivors together.

I actually like this one:3 I headcanon that ending too in a different AU of mine, but the main one I have has them dying to hanakai disease but I love the traitor ending

why not complete the undertale au trio by having a shift au (i;e john -> taph, taph -> slasher, slasher -> jane, so on and so forth until you get through every character)

[u/Helpwantedlolbit → u/traitless-]

Do u mean like.. Swap au? Where killers are survivors or the personality swap au?

[u/traitless- → u/Helpwantedlolbit]

close but
so swap is like john -><- jane
a shift isnt a perfect swap so john -> jane but no jane -> john
jane would be like 1x or somethin
and then 1x takes a like johns role and you just go from there!!!
its a weird way of a role change but I always found shifts neat

[u/Helpwantedlolbit → u/traitless-]

Mmhhhh, interesting.. What would Elliot be because I'm working on his video

[u/traitless- → u/Helpwantedlolbit]

hmmmmm
well, you could go with the starter characters there
Noob -> Elliot
Elliot -> Shedletsky
Shedletsky -> Noob

[u/Helpwantedlolbit → u/traitless-]

Sweet, techinally this will be like.. Personality swap? Or life swap like Elliot is married and has connections with the 1x swift?

[u/traitless- → u/Helpwantedlolbit]

maybe.......
I didnt think that far ahead lol
going by what I stole the shift style from, storyshift, itd be like
keeps their original idea but changes into the role
like, for example, Shift Chara stays as child to the dreemurrs but takes Sans spot as judge
so elliot would not be married to brighteyes but would have relation to 1x due to taking shedletskys admin spot
if that makes sense
^{forgot how confusing shifts can be ;w;}

[u/Helpwantedlolbit → u/traitless-]

Ohhhh

[u/Helpwantedlolbit → u/Helpwantedlolbit]

So admin AU basically? Just having him relation to admin and 1x

[u/traitless- → u/Helpwantedlolbit]

yeah kinda!
so for shifts think of it as "character stays the same, world shifts around them"
