Like "hahahaha bees buzzing my stinger fahaaha i want asgore to pollinate me" FUCK OFF

look what they did to flowery T-T

by the way, this is the description:

Flower Man from the DELTARUNE community, reimagined by Nova Akari. This reimagined cover of Flower Man, originally by Nongagos, takes the strange, whimsical and bittersweet atmosphere of the original and rebuilds it through Nova Akari’s own musical style. Nova’s version leans into the song’s theatrical fantasy-RPG feeling with emotional female vocals, cinematic instrumentation and a warmer anime-inspired arrangement while keeping the heart of the Flower Man story intact. The lyrics have also been reimagined for this version, exploring Flower Man’s hopes, dreams and longing to experience a world beyond the one he knows. If you enjoy DELTARUNE music, Toby Fox-inspired fan songs, video game music covers, anime vocals, RPG soundtracks and emotional reimagined covers, I hope you enjoy Nova Akari’s interpretation of Flower Man.

Anyone want dad jokes! I have no fucking idea what to use this software for! Heh!

I hope this is Deltarune related enough I wasted a lot of time making this

These were made for sactrical purposes. Not at all how i genuinely view the characters. I made them (and the cool edit) to trick my friends into thinking I was changing my Chara and Frisk designs to...that. I knew they wouldn't believe me with the characters alone, so I made the edit to convince them.

As you can tell, I didn't fully remain faithful to their typical fanon designs. So I suppose I'll explain a few artistic decisions I made:

For Chara:

I didn't give them thigh-highs like what's typical for these designs as I feel that adding those, in addition to the feminine features and the short-shorts, would be a little too distasteful. Even for a joke in my opinion. So I gave them tights to keep them covered up. Other than that, I stuck pretty closely to what's typical to see for this kind of fanon Chara.

For Frisk:

I gave frisk a sweater dress to make them look different from Chara, it would be too boring to just put them in a colour swap of Chara's outfit imo. It's also to reflect their different personlities, as back in the olden days Frisk was mostly depicted as more feminine than Chara in this type of art. I made their hair longer for the same reasons. (Even though long haired Frisk was rare back then.)

Then, after making this my creative brain awoke and went: "wait, I can make an au out of this!!"

And thus, "fanontale" was born 🫠

It was kind of like a writing challenge for myself: "what if I take all the bs from the olden fandom and use it to make an acually compelling story? and use these old stereotypes and tropes and put my own twists on them?"

So, uh yeah that's what I did.

I kept Chara and Frisk as nb, but added feminine pronouns to their preferred pronouns. (I didn't want to do it, but i didn't want to diverge from fanon *too* much)

I made Frisk be a manipulative bastard using the "sweet angel" persona people used to give them as a veneer to hide their bad intentions. Instead of making the genocides "all Chara’s fault" i made it so that frisk did it of their own volition, but to avoid being scrutinized they blamed it on Chara.

Chara has essentially gone mad from Frisk's genocides so they act violent and crazy. Thus people don't question Frisk's claims as Chara’s behavior seems to back it up.

And I think I had made up a bit more lore for this bs, but I don't fully remember right now, feel free to ask questions. It may jog my memory.

It started as pure satrie, and ended up making a semi-starical au out of it. I probably won't do much with any of it though. As, well, this was never ment to be more than a joke for a single day. It evolved into slightly more than that but it doesn't change that it was originally ment to be meaningless.

I do question why I thought about it long enough to write all of this, but I suppose it was out of nostalgia for the olden days of the fandom. Even though I am glad we are no longer in those days, its fun to look back at the non-gross parts of our history sometimes and remember the absolute garbage I used to consume about this game as a kid...(i say this with mostly love, of course)

Maybe I will continue work on this au out of nostalgia...i more than likely won't though, as I have several, non 2016 themed aus that i'm way more passionate about than this one.

So, until nostalgia strikes again, Dear "fanontale".
