Hi, everyone! I’m GamingTide! You can call me either Tide or Gamer

I’m new to Tumblr, but I decided to try it out since it’s one of the few places that hasn’t been completely overrun by AI & malicious tracking (although even that doesn’t look promising)

As you can probably tell from the name, I mostly blog about video games & related fandom things

The ‘Tide’ part of the name comes from one of the very first Animal Crossing villages that I ever made

I also love listening to Lofi & Indie music, and I’ve been getting into Solarpunk lately

And, like the rest of the internet, I love dogs, cats, and pets of any kind

My Fandom list is here: [Link]

Alright Undertale AU fans, help me out here

I’m trying to remember & make a list of whatever the AU Sanses (or whoever takes his place) like to drink, for both fanfic and sprite making purposes

I remember the basic ones (OG, Fell, Swap), but I’m having a hard time finding references for the rest, if they even exist at all

Can y'all help me fill out the rest of this list? (And let me know if I’m missing any other AUs?)

Undertale Sans - Ketchup
Underfell Sans - Mustard
Underswap Sans - Tacos (Nacho Cheese?)
Underswap Papyrus - Honey/Honey Mustard
Swapfell/Fellswap Papyrus - Barbecue Sauce
Swapfell/Fellswap Sans - ???
Outertale Sans - ???
Altertale Sans - ???
Altertale Toriel - ???
Storyshift Sans - ???
Storyshift Chara - Chocolate Syrup
Dancetale Sans - ???
Mafiatale Sans - ???

Reapertale Sans - ???

Haventale Sans - ???

Error Sans - ???
Ink Sans - Edible Paint (?)

Please & Thank you in advance!

Sharing more of my knowledge hoard! This time on Shadowguys. I have this separated into two posts with research on action figure Shadowguys & shadow puppet Shadowguys

I think it was canonically confirmed that the Shadowguys’ Light World form is supposed to be the figures in the windows of Kris’ house since they disappear after Chapter 3 if they were all recruited. But a lot of people headcanon the Shadowguys to be shadow puppets that Kris & Asriel made as kids, and I love that interpretation of them as well

General Shadowguy Information

Shadowguy Page on Deltarune Wiki
Exactly what it says on the tin. If you’re looking for canon information and trivia about the Shadowguys from the game, start here

Mikes’ Page on Deltarune Wiki
Same as above. Has information on all three of the Fake Mike Trio, so if you’re looking for info on any of them specifically, go here

Kuroko Page on Wikipedia

Adding this here because this is the role that the Shadowguys fulfill in the dark world. Kuroko are stagehands in traditional Japanese theatre, who dressed all in black. The black outfits were meant to imply that they weren’t there as part of the action on stage. They had the same purpose as a traditional running crew, and moved props and scenery around the stage, much like the Shadowguys do. If you want to read more about them, start here

Action Figure Page on Wikipedia

Wikipedia’s page on action figures in general. Has a lot of good general information on their history, design process, materials, scales sizes, etc.. Good place to start if you just want some basic, general information

Balancing Sasuke Toy Meme Reference

According to the Deltarune Wiki, apparently that tower of stacked Shadowguys that you can recruit is a reference to the Balancing Sasuke Toy, which had such an impeccable center of gravity for an action figure toy that just about anything could be stacked on top of it, including multiple copies of itself. I had no idea what they were talking about, so I went and found the reference so you don’t have to. Apparently it’s become something of a meme

Action Figure Joints & Anatomy

Article by Collectors Headquarters. Gives a quick run down of the four main types of joints, plus combination joints. Slightly more in depth than above, but no charts or graphics to go with it

Action Figure Glossary: Types, Materials & Joints

Article by Figure Base. Pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. Gives quick definitions or explanations for common action figure terms and abbreviations. May help to read this before exploring any of the more jargon heavy articles

Joint Types Custom Tutorial

Article by Figure Realm. Gives an in depth explanation about each of the joint types, then goes a step further by explaining variations on each type depending on what they’re made out of (springs, magnetic, etc.). Uses photos with labels to help demonstrate each main type of joint

Step-By-Step Guide to Printing, Assembling, and Painting DIY Action Figures

Article by Toy Making Tip 101. Very detailed article about the whole process of creating your own action figures from scratch. Extremely thorough. However, it’s text only - no pictures or charts - and it’s a pretty long read. Probably not recommended if you don’t do well learning from text only or if you don’t have the time
