My favorite thing about writing is dialogue and psychology, so I'm glad you noticed😁 tysm for saying this it was so nice 😭❤

Its also something that could be called laziness

Before the Anger side story:

"((She had no Appetite.))"

This is the first relevant side story in BTA. It follows Chara as she first entered the underground and her fear of monsters.

Click "keep reading" to read the full side story :)

(1) Chara had no appetite. She stared at Toriel in the kitchen, who hummed a song and bounced on her feet as she crossed to the stove. The same confusion every time. Chara counted the seconds it took for Toriel to remember that her fire magic no longer worked. Exactly six. Toriel laughed to herself and turned to Chara. “Hey, sweetie, would you like to help me in the kitchen?” Chara knew exactly what was going through Toriel’s mind. “Family bonding”

(2) Chara decided to humour Toriel and joined her in the kitchen. She even pretended to smile and said, “Sure, Mother.” and seeing Toriel’s face light up made Chara’s smile genuine. What a stupid woman. Chara stood beside Toriel, looking up into her piercing eyes. Being this close to such a creature made Chara’s hands tremble, so she made a tight fist. 

(3) “Here, child, you can cut up the carrots!” Toriel offered Chara a knife with a big smile. Chara’s hands felt ice cold; the knife, the sharp edges catching the light; Toriel’s disgusting, monstrous grin; her claws grasping the handle. Chara raised a hand to her mouth to cover her disgust and rushed out of the kitchen without a word. Toriel watched her leave, a confused tilt in her head.

(4) That night, Chara didn’t eat. Or the next, or the night after that. Toriel and Asgore were concerned, but being that they didn’t know much about humans, they had assumed Chara had a different diet. And in any case, the other monsters were getting curious about Chara’s existence and wanted answers, so they arranged a QnA at the castle- with Chara’s permission, of course. 

(5) Today was the day of the QNA. Chara calmed her nerves and looked out on the crowd full of horrible creatures. She had no appetite. Her stomach ached. Her hands twitched. Her mouth curled into a sickening grin. As she approached the monsters, Asriel finally caught up to her side, out of breath. “Are you excited?” Asriel asked, an innocent squeak in his voice. Chara stroked his soft ear. 

(6) Suddenly, Chara felt puny and defenseless against the towering, snarling, grinning monsters. They clawed for answers. Chara’s own breath suffocated her. She could hardly feel her feet as they sprinted toward any semblance of safety. But every corner was unknown, full of terrible surprises. Chara collapsed, finally, on a secluded ledge in Waterfall, curled into a ball of sobs and fear.

(7) Chara heard something behind her and jolted to attack. The second before her fist was about to land, she pulled away. It was only Asriel. Asriel was shaken, but continued toward her anyway, his eyes large with surprise. “Why’d you run away, Chara?” Chara caught her breath, soothed by his childish voice. 

(8) “It’s hard to… to be the only one of your kind in a big, scary new world. Can you imagine if you landed in a world with only humans, no friends?” Chara explained. Asriel paused for a moment, then sat down in front of her. “You have me! We are friends, right?” Asriel held his breath as he waited for Chara’s response. Chara smiled and pet Asriel, “Yeah. It’s just you and me against the world, buddy.”

(9) Toriel searched for Chara and Asriel, the worst in her mind. She worried this would happen, with Chara skittish behavior around other monsters. Finally, Toriel found them in Waterfall. When she asked what happened, Asriel stood up and said “Chara and I wanted to go for a swim.” Toriel furrowed her brow. Asriel was only six years old, he had never lied to her before. Asriel clutched Chara’s sleeve with a nervous smile.

Before the Anger- episode 29, "Commencing Telephone Call!"

Ah, yes, Gaster. There are more important things than stopping your children from burning down your house. 🙄

*the fire is blue, you noticed? Surprisingly, the color of fire has purpose.

((Elaine temporarily lost her determined posture and mumbled, “Yeah…” There was silence as they both recollected themselves. Undyne broke the quiet, “I was… in a similar position when I was a kid, about ten. I know you don't want to hear this- I know I didn't- but… you gotta get a caretaker.”))

Before the Anger- episode 33, "Trick-or-Treating"

A Halloween special in February? Of course not, this is an archive, remember?

Gaster is surprisingly compliant with such a childish holiday. He even gave the bare minimum!

Costumes: Siqua and Undyne are Lady Doris and Broccoli from one of my favorite comics, Broccoli Soup! (by @somesecretpie) Papyrus, it would have been very easy to put him in his UT fit, but everyone is expecting that. So, he is Goldie from my FNaF AU, Virus Tears. Gaster and Sans are just simple costumes (but peanut is a reference to peanut sans lol)

Before the Anger- episode 44, "Annoying Kid!"

((“Here, child, you can cut up the carrots!” Toriel offered Chara a knife with a big smile. Chara’s hands felt ice cold; the knife, the sharp edges catching the light; Toriel’s disgusting, monstrous grin; her claws grasping the handle. Chara raised a hand to her mouth to cover her disgust and rushed out of the kitchen without a word. Toriel watched her leave, a confused tilt in her head.))

I love Papyrus and Sans's dynamic. There's a lot of complex psychology in the little details (do you notice a theme in these comics?)

((Chara had no appetite. She stared at Toriel in the kitchen humming a song and bouncing on her feet as she crossed to the stove. The same confusion every time.

Wooo! Chara is finally here! Gaster as a young adult is a lot like Alphys. Does that means something?

If you noticed, the year is wrong in this episode because it was the New Year and I forgot to change it. Also, there aren't any New Years specials in this comic because New Years is the only cannon, important holiday in BTA. That might make for some confusing timelines in the future, maybe a valentines special right before the cannon New Years lol. I guess I'll call the holiday specials uncannon.
