Smorgasbord is a Role Swap AU of Undertale created by Myttin
. At first glance, it just seems like a low quality member of Storyshift's Fountain of Expies with the creator not taking it seriously.
In reality, Myttin is displaying Obfuscating Stupidity. In addition to the AU's Awesome Music, it's a Deconstructive Parody of Role Swap AU. Also it might be an ARG.
tropes for my au
- Ascended Fanboy: Downplayed, as Painzilla's addition as a fan consists most of Your Mom jokes directed at Myttin, but as of Blacklight, he's acknowledged as a character in the lore.
- As Himself: Painzilla; additionally, Myttin himself claims to actually be the bug monster who takes the role of Sans.
- Bread Milk Eggs Squick: Rudy describes Christmas Town as being "Free from Grinches, Scrooges and Taxes."
- Compressed Adaptation: Played for Horror. The characters who have been compressed out? That's because they've been Ret-Gone by the ROLECHANGE.
- Deconstructive Parody: Of a Role Swap AU. The character roles are commonly bizarre, random and Played for Laughs. But the role swapping is created by an in-universe force called ROLECHANGE.
- Informed Attractiveness: According to Myttin, Brava has a "huge ass," but since in her sprite her hand covers where we'd see such a thing, we just have to take his word for it.
- It Amused Me: Apparently why Myttin gave Heats Flamesman the Asgore role.
- Mission Control Is Off Its Meds: Myttin's track descriptions. Crosses over onto Unreliable Narrator sometimes.
- O.C. Stand-in: Faun and the Elevator Technician technically appear as one-off NPCs in Undertale, but since they're elevated to a major role here, they're given a completely new characterisation to make up for their complete lack of any in the original.
- Original Character: Although some of the characters that appear hold very obscure roles in the original Undertale, Myttin and Brava are the only completely new characters.
- Wham Episode: Blacklight, the Home Music Box track replacement, as its description proving that Smorgasbord has Hidden Depths, and that Myttin is smarter than he lets on
