Hello friends.
Well. Somehow we survived 2020. Thanks for stickling with me. Staying creative and productive this year was difficult, but im happy to be ending it with this video. I really hope you get something out of it.
If you did and want to help out the channel, I have one patreon tier and its one dollar, which genuinely helps a lot. RUclips is a volatile way to make a living, but its my patreons that keeps my income stable, so if you do support it, thank you, your the best! And if you dont- well honestly I still think your pretty rad, but if you feel like kicking in a buck or two you can do so here:

Guys, thank you again, the last five years have been a wild ride, and it means a lot that your still here. I am burnt out, so I'm going to take a little time and rest, you should do the same over holidays, we all need it.

@@RainbowGod666 That's different, that's just pareidolia, this guy's talking about actual, intentional covers. There are infinite pareidolias of anything, not exclusive to or most severe with Undertale phenomena, 90% are just coincidence or other biases and illusions that trick you into seeing inexistent relationships. Covers and/or remixes are inarguable, intentional, and fewer, making the offbeat covers more bizarre than pareidolia.

Toby Fox asked for a pond and people gave him an ocean, that might sound nice at first but it's a lot easier to drown in an ocean than it is a pond.
People gave him a planet covered entirely in water, not just one ocean
People gave him a solar system of water planets like subnautica, cute at the surface, but terrifying when you go to the abyss.
That's a good explanation for undertale, actually.
he should give me the ocean. i will handle it. im a pro wrestling. it wont be the first time i put needles in my mouth ;)
Poor guy
The fact that Undertale went from a game of befriending instead of killing monsters to a chaotic multiverse of altered versions of the game truly shows how much power a fandom can have.
Not to mention a good few AUs are apparent results of Sans getting fed up with Frisk being a Genocide speedrunner (or something).
I love how you got progressively more unhinged as you talked about each Undertale AU. This IP really has limitless possibilities and its a lot of fun to see them all develop
I don’t think aus are undertake specific.
@@jonahulichny9874they aren't, but they're naturally a lot more prevelant when the concept is canonically a real thing in the game's world.

It's insane how infectious the sans animations were, I even made one as a kid and I knew NOTHING about Undertale.
Hey, it's fine. The more significant thing is that you matured and left such shady community.
@@jakubsolar4670well, I’m 16 and I’m just starting to get into undertale, tbh I only played the original game but I have a friend who tells me about all of these AUs
vidéo game are for kid grow up@@jakubsolar4670
I was sooo into undertale before i even got the game 😭
@@jakubsolar4670 if they’re watching this video i doubt they left the undertale community (unless you’re talkinf about the sans animation community)
One of the things I think that makes this a masterpiece is how hard the sans fight is. It requires so much of you, that by the time you beat him, you don’t feel the sadness you did when you killed undyne and papyrus. It’s a feeling of relief, just like what I’d imagine a serial killer with no real ties to anyone would feel
When I fought sans, I got so stressed to the point where I *wanted* him to die, where my fury fueled me to win. After I killed him, I felt nothing but relief, no regrets, no guilt.
Toby fox is probably just sitting there like..
“What have I done..? What have I created..?”
It’s like looking at your cracked 3ds screen. What have I done?
Toby Fox probably looks up to Shigesato Itoi and shouts, "Save me!"
And Itoi looks down, and softly whispers, "Eat shit, f****t."
He’s created a... uhh. He’s made a monster of a fandom..
SHOUTOO
Wanna know the sad part?
It is true
The question is “What didn’t the internet do”
Don't answer it, don't give them ideas
Good and bad
Anti-34
I dont think that can be humanly answered... Let's create a character who can answer that!-
there is no answer, they basicly did everything
“A hero needs to win every time, a villain only needs to win once.” I was reminded of this quote when you were talking about the battle with Undyne
I love watching a grown man going insane over a fandom that I was into when I was in middle school. The AUs were so common to me, all that variety was so normal
"How many au sans' are there?"
The entire fucking undertale community:
"Y E S"
I mean there is a spongebob au where Patrick is sans before it became a meme
And theres swap version of it
Ya that is how insane it goes
bruh there is a person at school who makes sans au of people and they are actually good
someone count it as 300 au sans but people say they had forgot few of the au's so UNKNOW
Toby Fox: "Hey, I wanna make a game with funny skeletons."
_5 years later_
What’s interesting is he started wanting to make a game about some cool character designs he saw on tumblr. Those designs were characters from Deltarune (lancer, Jevil, the king)
And the first song he wrote was 2012 which is found in deltarune.
toby fox: "hey I wanna make a game with a fluffy boi"
2spooky4him
@@ChadRepson Yeah it's actually more like-
"Hey, I wanna make something with funny card people."
As someone who’s been a part of the Undertale Fandom ever since 2016, I can see how absolutely INSANE it would look from the outside. I wasn’t on Tumblr at the time, but I was on RUclips. I was there to witness the emerging of Undertale literally everywhere online. While I was still picking apart the original game, AUs were being pumped out like clockwork. Fangames, fanart, animations, webseries, lets plays, fan songs, anything you can think of.
I distinctly remember watching those sans fight animations, especially the “Beautiful Day” and “Stronger Than You” ones. v0idless, SpectroliteAAA, TC-96, CrayonQueen(loverofpiggies), and Jael Peñaloza literally RAISED me. Without them, I wouldn’t be the person I was today.
Yes, the Undertale fandom can be insane, but it means so much to all of us. Thank you for the video!
Tbh the amount of 1) attention there’s been on Gaster and 2) the paradoxically little amount of content about him but the constant teasing of him makes me very confident that he’s gonna show up in Deltarune
@@lik-zf5xx my guy this is a comment about a video game character
Cant wait for thousand, no, millions of hours of fanwork to be invalidated when Toby reveals that Gaster is in fact not Mystery man.
Though to be honest, Toby probably lost ownership of the "Gaster" character to the fandom a long time ago
I like how toby, instead of continuing the story, decided to basically do the same thing everyone else did with the whole au thing and make deltarune
he was planning to make deltarune before relasing undertale
he talked how he tried to make a game that he aborted and deltarune is a mix from that game and undertale
it is a continuing of the story line it is a sequel to undertale but in another timeline
@Brayden Ozaeta hard mode
@Brayden Ozaeta the post genocide pacifist run seems likely to have had the continuation, for those who dont know after doing a genocide route it permanently effects the pacifist route by showing frisk is still possesed by chara and some spoilers for the deltarune demo it ends with what seems like chara forcibly taking over the players body similar to that ending
now that you remind me of deltarune do you or anyone else here know where i can download it because it doesn´t seem to be on steam
or atleast i couldn´t find it there
I like it, i don't care if it doesn't recieve the same attention or it's "not as good", Toby is a great developer and the charm on his games is just enough for them to be worth it
Toby Fox, 2014: I'm making a game with surreal humor about pacifism and friendship, I hope people like it!
Toby Fox, 2016: *I have stared into the eyes of God, and He was never meant to be seen.*
Toby, 2015: My new game just released. I hope people like it, it took a lot of effort.
Toby in 2016: *I'VE SEEN THE FACE OF GOD AND IT WAS WEEPING*
Luckily I never played undertale or in the fan base, also, a fan base never determines a games quality
@@sirsnausages2164 ((HELLO_ENA_FAN))
@@ghostboyfriend8951 oh hi!
@@LavaCreeperPeople Well, it's a pretty fun game so I wouldn't call you lucky for never having played it.
Speaking of AUs, I still feel Horrortale is the best one. Not because it's darker and 'scarier' but because unlike most other AUs which just either swap a few characters around, change the world it's in or just make them edgier, but because it takes place AFTER one of the neutral endings in the main game. So in a way, you could read it as semi-canon to the main game. It takes an already canon AU and expands on it, which is why I love it so much.
Watching this about two years after its release.
This is absolutely beautiful. The fact success isn’t always something positive is a very important message to spread, and I thank you for doing so. I’m not saying success is bad, but success definitely could change things entirely- for better or for worse. I know it may be a simple Undertale fandom video essay to some, but this really hit hard (in a good way). Thank you.

My heart sank. I can't imagine the level of pressure & expectation felt for Deltarune development, or anything else.
Which is probably why he made it way different because it couldn't surpass or be just as good as undertale. Deltarune is a more normal RPG where your choices don't matter as much

I feel bad for toby fox. The guy just wanted to make a neat game and accidentally influenced the entire internet and I don't know how he handles it because I know i wouldn't be able to
I agree but at the same time I hope he’s proud. He really deserves to be. This is the best game I’ve ever played
I hope he enjoys the attention. They’ve completely ruined his game. Edit:It would be weird to create a game special to you then have it violated in ways you couldn’t even imagine by people who rip your ideas. I just hope the guy who made the game doesn’t feel that way.

I played Undertale for the first time in 2017. I played it many many times, but i’ve never done the No Mercy run. This video is like a rollercoaster of nostalgia for me. I was very fond of AUs and i was very down in the fandom’s rabbit hole. Listening to you talking about, with also the OST in the background, made me tear up a bit. I know i’m late to this video, but i just wanted to write this
It’s so really sad that the Underfell and Underswap creators were bullied to the point where they selected their blogs altogether, but what’s sadder is that they aren’t the only ones. The creators of this AU called Flowerfell (an AU branched off from Underfell where Frisk is cursed to grow flowers every time they die but instead of attempting to prevent it by fighting back they just try to power through it with kindness with the help of Sans and Flowey) were harassed badly due to mixed reasons. I can remember the reasons why but I know some of it had to do with shipping.
“Despite everything, it’s still you” remains one of the most bittersweet and inspirational quotes I’ve ever read.
This works with the state of undertale as well after all that stuff it’s still undertale at its very core
Every time my traumatized ass sees that screenshot I gotta hold back the waterworks like its my JOB
similiar with "But nobody came."
I got stuff to say if people want to look at it. It's honestly up to you.
The fact it's still you fills you with determination.

I'm not usually the one to comment on videos but i have to say that this is the best video essay I've seen. Undertale is one of my all time favourite games. I love the way this describes it. Its so good. Its exactly describes the experience of finding Undertale and finding its massive fandom. And I've been in this fandom since 2017-18. I even cried a little at the end lol.
Sometimes, I kinda forgot just how small Undertale actually used to be. Like Toby Fox is surely surprised to see just how far his game blew up into popularity and most likely just wanted to make a fun meta RPG with inspiration from Earthbound. And revisiting it during the pandemic really showed me that there was more to Undertale than I remembered and I like it even more.
Also, maybe it's just me, but I kinda realised much of the main media that I was focused on seem to have a story element of "meta" (i.e. Undertale as before, Homestuck, the Spider-Verse films). Maybe it's just that anything that has deep lore and goes meta are my appeal and it's always the ones that make me think a lot (and of course, those media will always have massive fandoms, for better or worse).
Toby fox:
"I was just playing around with my imagination!"
"....And then everything got INTENSE."

In a nutshell: undertale's iceberg never stops going down, and down, and down...
The Iceberg is now a planet.
And many have barely scratched the surface.
The only way I can see, how I can explore more of this fandom, is if I learn spanish and make a deep dive into Amino, because I literally absorbed the majority of knowledge the Undertale AU wiki can provide someone...
It went from antartica to Europa and hasn't stopped growing since
It keeps going down because of AUs and keep finding way how to connect them to original Undertale
You keep falling down again and again and every time it's different
this is such a massive trip down memory lane, and you mentioned every single important thing that being an undertale fan had to offer. this is absolutely an amazing video
Undertale became so popular because it's so heartwarming, calming and pleasing world. I've seen some aus and most of them are actually good, well animated, sometimes well written, actually some of them were amazing, but they are stories for themselves, even though they are literally aus. I can't really explain it well, but even though some aus are very well done, undertale has its own original unique charm that we will love and remember. After all, aus were created because people wanted more of undertale. It was certainly one of the most heartwarming and emotional games ever to be made. For me, Undertale is Undertale, and bad sides of the fanbase shouldn't affect on what we think of this beautiful game.
flowey: just leave these characters alone. let them live with their lives. stop please.
fandom: *haha creating thousands of universes goes brrrr*
And some AU versions of the characters wants to be original Undertale well guess what

I wish I could just talk to Toby Fox. Not about Undertale. Just about how he’s doing.
Just check out his twitter, he's doing pretty good, he's working for the next deltarune chapter.
Bad fanbases just follow that poor guy everywhere
He definitely wasn't doing well when he decided to make this game in the first place, because it exists.
@@Alexmarill We've heard that story before, with people like Markus Persson (AKA Notch) and George Lucas, but there's an important difference: Toby Fox completely deserves it. He made the foolish decision to publish (and sell) a very messed-up project, and he deserves whatever consequences he's already gotten for it. The fandom is only a projection of what he's made. That Fandom has left a self-corrupting mark on the rest of the internet, thanks to the disturbing influence of this "game".

Fancy meeting you here. Isn't watching SEW a thing you shouldn't do by the foundation rules?
Tartarus is a random generated tower climb...
What I think you’re describing is actually Tardarus
@@LeoRex13 It really isn’t. Tartarus is distinctly the Greek equivalent of hell.

Tardarus = a pandemonium of tards 😋
@@LeoRex13 It’s not even worth responding because a simple google search reveals that Tartarus was the name of the Greek hell. If anything, the “Generated tower climb” is named after it.
The Undertale fandom is like a microcosm (maybe the wrong word given it's size) for what I love and fear about us as humans. The small things done by individuals and small groups that when combined with enough of us working together can become some massive system both beautiful & dreadful.
This came up on my auto play and as I listened to it I couldn’t help but have dumb smile on my face the entire time you were talking about Undertale. I understood everything that you talked about and knew every single AU you mentioned because I was in all of them. I mean even now I am in them and watch them.
But your video made me remember the wonder that I experienced, when I first discovered Undertale. It was a huge part of my life for me, I followed and consumed every single of content that I could find since I discovered the game in early 2016. It was my source of joy and my inspiration to draw/create things.
These last 3 years I’ve gone through a lot of major changes in life with family drama and death. Now I’m on my own(literally, I mean I’m living on my own and cut off a lot of family but I digress), going through a lot of things but I still love Undertale just the same. Its really been with me through thick and think, with its animations, music, etc. It’s a warm and comforting feeling.
I really hope that what the mirror tells me is true, “Despite everything, it’s still you.” because I feel so different and much more exhausted than how I was just a couple years ago. I really wish I can go back to how I was before everything happened.
Though I guess despite everything, I’m still me.
Internet's reaction to Undertale can be summarized in one sentence:
Someone built a small campfire, then another person came in and added more branches, then another circled it in rocks and added coal, then another built a fireplace around it and used some gasoline, then another guy had the briliant idea to use jet fuel, and now we have a forest fire.
Edit: Holy shit this blew up, thanks guys
thats actually a brilliant analogy

After playing it for myself falling into the rabbit hole of fanart, AUs, and ask blogs was so fun. I only wish I could go back and experience it all again. It's goofy, and a lot of it is just Sans, but it's also amazing in its own way.
great video man! I was looking up undertake stuff because I missed playing the game and falling into the fan made rabbit hole all these years ago. and you just put everything in perspective beautifully!
The incredible story of how an emotional game literally got boiled down to "Sans skeleton funny" with an earrape version of Megalovania playing in the back
With extra fried and crispy screams of people reacting to his smash reveal
I hate this change so much, it's a discredit to the game's true complexity and genius, now it's just become a way for people who haven't even played the game to make a statement in front of everybody, saying: "Look at me, I'm into internet culture, I get this reference" and basically do it for clout
It's not even f*cking funny. Who the f*ck finds this funny? Online personas who pretend to know what the game is about, that's who
@@okplay9446 Man stfu
The memes are super funny lol
I still think the game is pretty cool
And my humor is so bad that I'll hear his dumb text speech thing and struggle to not laugh
I absolutely love everyone of the characters, there all so neat and fun to fight and talk to

I honestly find the Undertale soundtrack to be probably the most emotionally powerful aspect of Undertale in my opinion. Most of the songs give me almost comforting chills and make me smile, and a few even put me on the verge of tears if I’m alone. Amazing job Toby
That ending was beautiful man, phenomenal job with this vid
"so, how many alternate realities exist?"
Undertale fandom: "Yes."
ima make a fanmade AU!UT
Rule of the undertale fandom : if it exists, theres a au of it, if theres a gaster, theres 300 different storylines to him.
There is that much aus as stars in cosmos
Worst part is that somehow nearly every fanmade megalovania bops.
@@ToyFreddyGaming1987 because megalovania is overrated but you HAVE to admit the original is still a bop
Fun fact, if you go back to to Toriel’s house after you defeat asriel, when you interact with the mirror, it says “It’s still you, Frisk.” It’s reassuring what asgore’s mirror tells you, that after everything, it is still you, no matter what.
“Despite everything, it’s still you.”

Undertale isn't masterpiece
@@yalovoyhznepomny if you think that it's ok, but undertale changed my life sorry that you don't get to enjoy it
@@rafealasantana21 No matter how strange my argument may be, but every game can change a person's life. Even a bad game
@@yalovoyhznepomny for me, undertale is good, I mean that's just my opinion but you're right it's just like harry potter it changed the life of many people but isn't actually good
I still think undertale is amazing
The ending made me cry, I don't have words to describe it, just thank you, keep doing this :)
other fandoms: lol what if this little detail about this character was changed, that would be pretty cool. i'm gonna make an AU about it
the undertale fandom: _I'M ALREADY 47,826 PARALLEL UNIVERSES AHEAD OF YOU_
When you actually make an original AU: yay
The Fandom: But what if it was a different AU
ENatAle lol
I think I've written an original AU, but I know it's not original because literally every prompt that I could think of has been already made. And my problem about the fandom is how if you make an au, it has to align with the " timelines. " for example, the adopt community. You can't do this, you can't do that, and that's how the multiverse undertale au community basically is. You can't do this. You can't do that. If you haven't caught up with every single detail, you'll be left in the dust. Take it from me, someone who got to escape the undertale rabbit hole and witness the hate the fandom has. ( I have not caught up with how it has changed today, so correct me if I'm wrong please )
@@rumpalug Its still pretty hated. Up there with the Sonic fandom. Now THERES a toxic fandom.

How in the hell did Toby Fox get the confidence to release deltarune after the massive and terrifying reaction that people had to his first game
The power of anime protagonist
Ralsei with a gun
just don't give a fuck
He probably found the voice that created UnderTale again. Or maybe he always wanted to release it, and didn't see the reason to give up
Passion. Undertale being a runaway success is just icing on that cake, the internet is always going to hype a follow up entry. I don't think he planned on it being this popular.
Wow..This video is an emotional rollercoaster. I was laughing, crying, feeling depressed, feeling hopeful. The Undertale fandom is truly something special and I can’t thank the game enough for simply existing. I really wish I was a fan when the game first came out so I could experience all this in real time. I’ve been wanting to make my own AU but can’t focus for long periods of time so I never bothered to try. I really hope that the Undertale fandom continues to grow and develop new amazing AUs to add to this crazy never ending list.
Toby must be so proud yet so scared. I can’t even imagine what he must’ve been (and possibly still is) going through. I really hope he takes care of himself.
I loved this vid. Need to get up for uni in 4 hours, but still thank you very much yt for recommending me this. I have not followed the Undertale’s fandom for several years now, but used to be a hella active member of it, making art, music and even trying out coding some of my own boss fights. Needless to say all of that was pretty armature level and TM “Not Good”, but it still gave me sort of a kick start in those things that I now really enjoy doing. Undertale also reminds me of a time I hung out in Amino. New voices every day, and new faces every week when we decide to meet up. I really can not appreciate Toby Fox, the game and the fandom more, for all the creative inspirations and remarkably fun times it brought to me. Even though Im 2 years late, and you’ll probably not see this, amazing work on the video John and thank you very much for reminding me of those good times and emotions!
There were so many Undertale AUs that at a point Toby Fox was just like 'STOP!' and made his own Undertale AU which we all now call Deltarune
EDIT: OH MY GOD THIS COMMENT IS 2 YEARS STOP CORRECTING ME IN THE REPLIES I KNOW DELTARUNE WAS CONCEIVED BEFORE UNDERTALE THIS WAS A HAHA FUNNY THAT POPPED INTO MY HEAD STOP GOING "well erm akshually ☝️🤓" I KNOW I GODDAMN KNOW YOURE NOT SOME SMARTASS BRINGING NEW INFO TO MY ATTENTION OH MY GOD
A self propentulating cycle
i think deltarune is a reboot
@@kaitoman1762 toby stated that deltarune wasn't going to have any ties to undertale (take that as you will). But a lot of fans speculate its related more in an alternate universe type relation instead of being a prequel or sequel. (Also with the secret bosses having ties with gaster)
Isn’t there an Easter egg where there Toby Fox’s dog making a game in both games?
@@ellisdee1879 bcz toby js the creator bruh
And yet over 5 years, middle school, high school, and college...the line “it’s still you” still makes me cry. Thank you for this
Despite everything, it's still you... yeah Undertale, you did it again.

True that👍
This is the most relatable a RUclips comment has ever been for me
my birthday the past few years has been confusing and tough for me to acknowledge. the moment i turned 25 i started crying and couldn’t place exactly why and still really can’t other than being confronted with the idea of the future coming at me and still being unsure of what i should expect of it. i’m approaching 27 this month and am still feeling confused about it, but watching this video and you reminding me of the reassurance this indie game gives us that no matter what, things will be okay because it’s still me, it always has been me, and that won’t ever change no matter the time that’s passed. i no longer feel like the constantly happy and sweet child that everybody said i was, and that’s okay. it’s okay to acknowledge that i feel like i’m somebody a little different, shaped by things i never expected to happen to me. that really is the overall message for undertale, that even through hardships that are cruel or unfair, through sudden revelations that shake you to your core, that despite everything, it’s still you.
I just can’t stress how good this video is. I also want to say that I’m addicted to X-tale and gaster, so this video was a blast to watch. Thx.
man, i remember back in 2015/2018 where basically EVERY youtube video has undertale music in the background
deamn bocomondo its been ages since I saw you always watch your old DB animations as a kid I hope your doing good bro whatever you are
aka 2 years ago
Still is, alot of em are really
@@TallTapper aka currently actually, i still hear undertale music in the background of videos all the time, including fan remixes
Its funny when i hear a song in a video because I always have to wonder how many people actually know what its from
in the undertale vinyl collection, toby left a note on how undertale didn't feel like his own work anymore, but rather, everyone's work.
and he's happy about that.
I am glad to hear that

@@SomeKidWeGotOffOfAmazon I’m surprised he hasn’t gone insane from the amount of cringe and toxic ness from the community.
I have never watched a video that has made me cry so hard. THANK YOU AND TAHBK YOU TOBY FOX FOR CREATING SUCH A THING THAT HAS BROUGHT US COMFORT
This sums up my 4 years spent deep deep in the 'edits' sub community of undertale from vine to tumblr to instagram where it all basically ended .
If you were to ask me today I would tell you a community of people this lovely and inspired by each other to create cannot ever exist on this world let alone the internet.
The thing that really spooked me about Undertale is when I accidentally killed Toriel because I didn't know how to play quite yet. Because I wanted to go pacifist, I restarted. But when greeted by Flowey, he knew what I had done.
WOW really??? I also killed Toriel on accident.
This is by far the most impactful moment I've ever felt in a video game I still remember the goosebumps I got when he called me out
After Toriel gets low enough on HP, the next attack is scripted to kill her. The game wants this to happen, knowing that most people will reset, experiencing Flowey calling them out on their save scumming. I was taken aback when it happened to me too.
Absolute genius.
Oh bikes
Def one of my fav yt video essays of all time
What a wonderfully written and presented video. I've never played Undertale and am only vaguely familiar with the community surrounding it. But the way you described it, its cultural impact, and how it made you personally feel had me choked up a little by the end. I genuinely felt something from a documentary video about a game I have no personal connection to. Great job!
The undertale fandom is literally the definition of “fine, I’ll do it myself” and I love it
lol same
That's true, I guess
I don't. There is a giant amount of cringe, poorly written aus and fans changing characters to act how they like it
@@lecommentar9851 well, they will certainly come to almost all franchises, soo....
@@lecommentar9851 there’s plenty of positives about it too, but as usual people like you always pay attention to the obnoxious ones and hate the whole fandom for it
I feel like Toby Fox needs a hug after all the bullshit that the fandom has created.
Given how he used to do the music for the Homestuck animations, I think he's developed a pretty thick skin to all of the bullshit that goes on with his own creation.
Sow death, reap death. Simple as.
he needs more than a hug. he probably needs therapy after seeing the crap the internet created.
Same. Most fandoms have the negative sides all the time, and even haters do have a point about the problems though. Toby Fox is not alone, Masahiro Sakurai is also the victim due to amount of death threats he received because the fans aren't accepted about what he has chosen the DLC characters to pick them up for Smash, especially for Geno from Super Mario RPG.
Every creators have their own terrible experience of dealing with the negative side of the fandom, and the positive side is mostly harmless. At least from what I've learned from _Misery_ by Stephen King that depicted the darker side of being a super fan. Obsession is inevitable to humans, and it's impossible to make it go away unless you have to deal with it.
@@Lecheconqueso have you seen the ending to the video? toby was afraid of that popularity and of what the internet had done to his work.
"Despite everything, It's still you."
On a second lighter note, now I wanna go find that super crazy meta story thing you talked about near the end and give it a watch. It sounds like a fun time
Eyepatch wolf: *tries to explain the entire fandom of UNDERTALE*
Everyone: that’s cute
Awwwww...
Not really
As a person that has been there since the start of the game, shit the things I’ve seen in the fandom is phenomenal. I’ve been there to see people create all of the AUs. Like the magical tongue, sometimes even incest(like fresh and pj), the low-key pedo ships between sans and frisk, oh don’t even get me started on the amino community... Istg I’ve seen some shit that could traumatise someone. Of course, we can talk about the minority of the fandom for days but the majority is actually great wholesome and hell even jumpstarted some people’s careers. I’ve experienced a lot of things in the fandom, although I did leave it for the same reasons. In short, you’d need at least a couple hours to document the whole fandom in it’s entirety.
@BlackZPvP it’s not that simple bro. the dark side will figure out on how to find you
As someone who used to consume all undertale content I could find on the internet, he explained it pretty fucking well. I regret going down that rabbit hole to be honest, the fan content also spoiled the game for me
toby fox probably saw the homestuck fandom and didn't want ANYTHING like that for undertale and that'a exactly what happened. i feel bad for the guy...
Whats Homestuck?
@@walidtaylor4227 a hot mess. that's all you need to know 👏🤣
@@amphithere what's wrong with the fandom is it good?
@@walidtaylor4227 idk if this is serious or not, but homestuck is a webcomic with animated portions and toby made a lot of the music in those portions himself. he was/is friends with the writer. the fandom has had enough bad eggs to ban people from cosplaying characters at conventions. in addition...a girl tried to dye her skin grey to cosplay one of the characters and she used sharpies and ended up in the hospital b/c of the fumes. there were a lot of issues with unsealed body paint that ruined a lot of cosplays and con venues and hotels. there's a video online of people spitting in a bucket at a restaurant because buckets are how a species in the series reproduces.
and that's just SOME of the things that went on.
@@bl00dberry I was dead serious never heard of it.
Couple notes:
Amazing music choice, I’m gonna go look up all these songs now
As someone who played Undertale for the first time in 2023, I was always confused when I saw Undertale AU content with no context and this video really cleared that up for me. Thank you for explaining to those late to this amazing game!
The jumpscare scream at 26:19 was hilarious. 😂 great video!
just damn when i played undertale for the first time it was just heartbreaking when i accsedentally killed papyrus not knowing how to reload safe files i always and still do feel bad for what ive done... this really shows how even with just less than an hour of play time you can trouly become attached to a caracter and so much time later still remember that one encounter... i never killed him again and wont think about doing a geno run knowing i wouldnt be able to get myself to kill papyrus,toriel,undyne and asgore. Undertale truly captures emotions in a game so seemingly unremakeble at first until you get to see all of it until you get mad at youself for killing papyrus and after you cry when sans tells you to never come back. this truly is UNDERTALE
The fact that Sans' AUs are their own fandom with intricate lore and interactions is really a testament to the power of the Undertale fandom
and the people to. The undertale fandom is a really good example of just how much people would go to when they experience something they wanna experience again, even if it's something small, they wanna relive the experience again in different ways that had never happened before. one thing i usually think is that whenever a fictional world/game can have you feel feelings you haven't experienced at all/very little, it's a good game.
I like to think that it’s the exact same Sans with out any changes and he’s just to lazy to tell any one
Honestly the view counts on the AU animations did that for me. If an AU video is getting tens of millions of views… I mean Jesus kickflipping Christ that’s only a portion of the whole fan base
I just don't know how we went from a great and emotional game to the rest of the fans creating their own fandoms and au's . It's really not a bad thing, (different fandoms sometimes make other au's of one character), but they make their characters and au's RIDICULOUSLY OP. I'm not joking, they make their characters way more op than characters like Anos, Rimuru, Xeno goku, and archie sonic. It just proves that they love undertale a little TOO much. More than what toby expected/wanted. Toby didn't want over a million au's, he just wanted a great gaming franchise, and a fanbase dedicated to him and the games he makes, not other versions of sans that are somehow above fiction. Overall, I kinda like the underverse, even tho the fans are too obsessive and annoying sometimes, it's fine.
p.s: (I don't suggest you get into debates like, oh, Anos vs sans from random au, because then the underverse fanbase is going to come after you. I'm not kidding, THEY WILL COME AFTER YOU; they will tell you that their sans and au's are more powerful than, marvel, dc, AND EVEN THE ONE ABOVE ALL. It just proves that they love undertale TOO much.)
It’s also a testament to how much people simp for Sans lol
