This took a while to get out with all the complications with technology and voice actors and ugh it was a lot. But It was also a ton of fun, its such a great way to wind down. Since I've started college, I've learned a lot in my post production class(if you see this, Hi Professor!), using those skills, the video came out a lot better than it would otherwise.
Anyways, idk when I'm going to make my next video, I have literally giant 2 essays due next week so :P
Thank you so much for watching! If you want to talk to me or need help with a project, message me on discord or send me an email! I'd be happy to edit or voice act for you!

So basically, the Genocide route of this Au is the fanon Genocide route of Undertale.... *But It actually makes sense?*

Anxietytale feels like an au that deserves and could have his own game!

To be fair it would be easier since it's mostly sans and papyrus that changed a bit. So rather than make new sprites for every monster and locations. Only two would change. Then there's the dialogue which can be changed to fit in. Sorry for the rant btw.

You know how in many aus sans is always with his other aus and rarely in his own?

Jesus Christ, that ending to the Sans fight genuinely depressing. Anxiety doesn’t even get to have the privilege of dying in his sleep. He’s already scared of everything, and he’s forced to watch as you inch closer, unable to move because his body gave up on him. It would be like sleep paralysis, but your paralysis demon is real and wants to kill you.

[@weavilelover]

Sans woke up before dying. When will undertale fans actually play the game?

[@arandomgamer9317]

@@weavilelover I know that, you fully missed the entire point of the comment. The point was that classic didn’t expect to get hit and was calm. Anxiety knew exactly what was about it to happen and knew he couldn’t stop it. How about you actually use your small attention span to fully read a comment rather than getting mad over a singular sentence that has barely anything to do with the main idea.

[@weavilelover]

@@arandomgamer9317 I read the entire comment. You very clearly implied that sans couldnt hear Frisk getting closer unlike Anxiety, which is just untrue since theres no way he'd have even dodged if he couldn't tell Frisk was getting closer somehow

[@arandomgamer9317]

@@weavilelover sans had no way of telling frisk was going to cheat and attack. He just assumed their determination would let them find a way to attack him, so he prepared to dodge. The point of mentioning sans falling asleep is that he wouldn’t have had any fear, as he was sleeping. Upon dodging, he only had fear a split second before getting hit. Anxiety was filled with fear the entire battle, especially during the end when he was too tired to move.

[@Egg_guy456]

​​@@arandomgamer9317 bruh bro, sans already knew he was going to die, he say that himself and i think sans actually could tell that the human would cheat to attack, for the fact that he knew how the battle would end. Oh yeah actually sans just starded caring about you killing everyone because it would cause the endo of the timeline, was that what toke him to care, the damn world be erased by a toddler But yeah, i cant think about many points because sans having anxiety doesnt really fit him

[@whitedragon6080]

Why does sans have a more common reaction to seeing everyone in the world (at least to him) die by a humans hands in the timeline when he's ment to have extreme if not crippling anxiety then in 99.9% of other timeline?

[@BombyIsaac]

Cause in all other Timelines he's the apathetic kind of Depressed If you keep losing people, at some pint you'll start to grow numb to it cause your brain is trying to protect your body from the harmful amounts of stress that grief can create

[@OneRandomMoreOfficial]

​@@BombyIsaac I mean, not to much depresed, more like, nihilistic

[@skell6134]

​@@OneRandomMoreOfficialSans isnt really nihilistic He doesnt feel sad that much during genocide really He doesnt get sad from you killing everyone but only gets angry

[@n0dash18]

Probably closer to “fatalistic” than “nihilistic.” He acknowledges that most of the things you set in motion are *gonna* happen, one way or another, since you can manipulate timelines to make it so. So he just goes “Eh. Why even care? I can’t stop it, so why would I consider resisting it?” That is, until you’re gonna shank reality. Then it’s everybody’s problem. He does also get pissed if you kill Papyrus, but even that doesn’t really make him consider the revenge approach, since you’d probably just eventually kill him if he tried.

[@ginniegill1026]

In the other timelines he comes with depression

[@artsy_mapleleaf1094]

As a person who lives with anxiety this is pretty accurate, Weirdly I find it nice to see a AU I relate to XD

yea same a really good take on anxiety

[@fallennation714]

This is the types of au’s just feels old school it’s not those types of au’s where sans is some sort god or hacker or mad man it’s just him dealing with some mental problems and it effects everyone around him it can make us relate to him in some way and that’s what I really like about this au it makes them more human then they already are

[@ifarded6449]

...Really, this Au needs more content + *context* as to why Sans is in this mood, and I can't help but say it would be stupid to make it revolve around Sans alone. The genocide route described here obviously is INCREDIBLE concerning Undertale's emotion.

[@5h3i1ah_and_Nik0]

i mean, it "needs" the context about as much as undertale does for why sans is so apathetic. it's not entirely necessary. nice to know perhaps, but we can just accept that sans is apathetic and depressive in undertale, just as we can simply accept that he's a justice-driven yet anxious mess of a skeleton here.

[@urmom-xk7st]

i think i heard that the creator of the au said that he was traumatized by something. he used to be the way he was in undertale, but one day he disappeared, and when he came back, he was like this and refused to tell papyrus (or anyone) what happened to him

[@urmom-xk7st]

ok adding to my last reply i just checked and yeah, something happened. sans and papyrus were going to visit undyne, but while they were in waterfall he disappeared, and when he reappeared he was like that. he was how he is in canon before he disappeared and came back.

[@coloredsomeone9750]

This AU needs more attention. I'm surprised an idea as unique as this one was executed this well. Its very nice, seeing the world of Undertale being altered in this way, it feels weirdly original compared to many others of the popular ones (not saying they're unoriginal, this one is just more refreshing to see that's all)

[@huh2726]

I think it's because instead of reskinning the already existing characters (UF, Outer, and many more) or switching their existing role ( Underswap, Storyshift, etc), AnxietyTale has a genuine change in character dynamic due to Sans' altered personality. I think it's safe to say this AU doesn't have a laid-back goofball like UT. Rather, what was supposed to be the Joker of the story was replaced with a paranoid person with no one else filling the gap.

[@vinbis8567]

I think the genocide fight difference is like what most people would act when they are facing Dangers, even though you're kind of strong or other. it just never ends.

[@the_casual_gamer6406]

I love and hate how sanses tears are cut off by the slash at the end. It really makes it more impactful

[@squidboness2183]

I actually really like this AU because it’s not crazy different from the original game. Example, Nightmare and Dreams AU is just a whole different world with one familiar character, twin sanses. It doesn’t even feel like an AU at points like that. The familiarity of this one reflects the OG game in a peculiar, endearing way.

[@enderrune7516]

Maybe there's a somewhat neutral/genocide ending where you almost kill papyrus leaving him to pass out and live, then skipped to the sans' fight when he starts crying you can spare sans with a cutscene showing frisk comforting sans then minutes later papyrus shows up completely fine but he won't trust you and he'll try to keep sans far away from you as possible.

[@Cat_In_A_Hoodie]

If he never got tired, then the fight will go on forever, because since he has anxiety, he will never fall asleep...

I kinda imagine anxiety Sans after getting hit would start panicking, until completely freezing up after a slow realization . He won’t move, look, or even tremble. Then I image he’d say (while looking right at the player) “Im sorry Paps, I failed-” With clear breaking in his voice before dusting while getting cut off.
