Description
A silly parody mini-comic that I started during my end-of-year exams to keep me sane between coursework/revision sessions.Yeah, sorry. This is a pacifist ending, and even though a Gurren Lagann parody demands at least some violence, we can't actually cause harm to anyone during a true pacifist. Even if it all turns out to be a completely fictional, even in-universe!
I went back and forth many times about how to end this comic. I played around with playing it straight - I'd have Frisk play out the game's end pretty much as expected, concluding in a hug with Asriel. But the comic's a parody! How can you do a massive reference to Gurren Lagann and then just end it completely straight-faced? It's way too silly for that.
Then, I played Undertale's hard mode. It reminded that despite all the dramatic fan-works and emotional game ending, at it's core Undertale is an extremely silly game. That cinched it - I had to subvert the rest of the comic in the final part. I made the whole thing a stupid story told by one of the characters to get a reaction out of their friends. Being an anime parody, it had to involve Undyne in some form - I played around with having her tell the story, but because I love the idea of Frisk being a cheeky so-and-so, it ended up being their blatant lies instead.
Why are the Dremurr kids alive at the end? Because I wanted them reacting to Frisk's story. Feel free to integrate this stupid comic with whatever fan-fiction AU nonsense that concludes with them being alive; I didn't have anything particular in mind while writing this page.
Oh, and this marks the last bit of UT fanart that I will be doing for the forseeable future. I need to move on with other things. So, don't hang around my page expecting a brand new AU to enjoy; it's not going to happen. Sorry!

Frisk spends waaay too long around her 'bestie'. Eventually, the weeb was going to rub off on them!

(For the record, Frisk is genderless here, as in the game. I dunno why I wrote 'her' (maybe thinking of undyne?), but it's too late to edit now, so...)
