OK so here’s chara’s new design…. yes i know i can Stick To One Design for 5 minutes. i probs should just be a character designer. Chara has a gold soul in my h/c (i posted about it recently, i can link it again if needed) and while I won’t make it a Plot Point here because its Very Much A Fan Theory and I don’t wanna lean too hard on that. but ye, if you wanna see it as chara regaining their colorscheme from before death, that works too!

anyway, this is the last new design for chara until the epilogue so! gotta update the banner/avatar again LOL

tho uh, before that, wanna address why flower-chara didn’t last so long: its because the story is nearing it’s end, there’s a few more storybeats/twists left but then it’s over for a bit, then i’ll come back after a break to do the epilogue + then months later do the fangame to finish darkworld

point being, i didn’t want to linger on it (it wasn’t even supposed to be a “twist” it was a last minute choice to make them full flower. i originally was having it as a time limit near-the-breaking-point kinda thing. but like, chara already went thru their breaking point! so that didn’t make sense.) its really funny how last minute changes can happen for the better! like, toriel was supposed to come in later, and then we’d get the emotional pay off after the climax??? it was stupid. i’m much happier with this version.

i do wish maddie’s plotline could of been done over the christmas break ;v; its a shame since its christmasy and there would of been so much more MTT and dreemurr family shinangins. a whole story beat about chara potentially meeting asriel on live tv (while still in separate countries) but it would show both a Nicer side to Asriel’s public persona that hints to how he actually did want to see chara again. …while also still using the satire of the Idol King figurehead still. but i feel there’s been enough of that already in the story, and esp after the flowey reveal, it’s unneeded. obviously in the original plan, asriel wouldn’t turn to flowey backstage. but hey! now i got time to write more flowey and yun. so that’s nice

anyway the redraw is back in swing btw! feel free to read it as it updates :> it’ll change the story sliiightly to fit my newer views/ways of writing + connect the story better to be more cohesive. it’s a lot of fun, and makes toriel gunnin after chara lmao a call back in that version instead lol
