*UPDATE: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT UNDERTALE 10TH ANNIVERSARY STREAM ABOUT. it sorta derailed some of the groundwork i laid for this AU, but please. please pretend to not care… half of this was already written before the stream and im too tired to recheck (for now) 💔

WARNING: I WILL TRY TO WRITE FULLY IN ENGLISH FOR THIS AU, BUT A LOT OF TERMS AND CULTURAL CONTEXT WILL LEAN HEAVILY TOWARDS THE EAST, VIETNAMESE TO BE SPECIFIC, REFERENCING THE JAPANESE VERSIONS OF UT/DR MORE. THERE WILL BE A FAIR SHARE OF MIXED LANGUAGES WITHIN, ESPECIALLY IN COMICS. please use a dictionary/translator if needed. sometimes my use of english might seem a bit off, i’m not a native speaker.
SECOND WARNING: TOPICS SUCH AS GENERATIONAL TRAUMA, FAMILY COMPLEX & ISSUES, CHILD NEGLECT/ABUSE, MENTAL DEGRADATION/PSYCHOSIS/DEPRESSION, PHÂN CHIA CẤP BẬC GÁNH NẶNG GIA ĐÌNH CÁC THỨ CÁC KIỂU WILL BE EXPLORED. i don’t think they’re “heavy” but please know what you’re getting into. there won’t be explicit gore or violence, as it is mostly psychological. (honestly, if you know who i am, those tags are to be expected ^^;) THERE WILL NOT BE ANY TRIGGER/CONTENT WARNING AFTER THIS. YOU ARE WARNED!
This is a canon-compliant AU based on the events (or what we know so far) of **UT/DR** by Toby Fox, focusing on the sub-plot of the SkeleFonts (Sans, Papyrus, & W.D. Gaster). The writer expects a somewhat solid understanding of the game(s) main storyline from the readers, so wherever the AU intersects with the canon timeline, some of the events might not be retold and/or re-explained.
Because the writer is… well. phú từ trần himself… whose specialty is writing short, standalone introspective, exploring relationship/family dynamics… tackling an entire FONT lore like this is a bit too large scale for me… So even though my goal for making this Notion is to be able to figure out their entire timeline and how I can fit that into the canon timeline of UT/DR, most of the “content” I make for this AU will be slices of life of the skeleton family, especially the skelebros, with the main focus being,, psychoanalysis,, love me some good old psychological horrors ← said the creator of TRCA ^^;; …you did read the warnings above, did you not?
I will try to stick as closely to canon as possible, but the AU will requires a few theories to work and will be built on a lot of speculations (hence why it is categorized as an “Alternate Universe”). I am not here to argue about whether or not this AU has any chances to be “correct”, it is simply my own version of the story. (Did you know? You can always make your own too!)
Some of the “theories” that PSX!FONT AU will hinge mainly on:

While this is indeed a Notion specifically made to organize PSX!FONT, I actually don’t plan to make an elaborated, hundred-chapters long fancomic/fanfic for the whole story. Instead, most of my comics - writings - “content” in general will just be random bits and pieces that may or may not related to the AU. However, the essence of this AU will seeps through everything I make for them. Therefore, even if the content is tagged as “non-psx”, it most likely only means “idk where to place this on the timeline yet, but it can happen somewhere along the way, one route or another”. To put it simply, PSX!FONT refers to **THE AU TIMELINE BELOW** but at the same time, it can be an umbrella term for “whatever FONT-related shit phú trần make”. If you want, you can be the one placing them in the PSX canon for me lol
