Stand-in FAQ

0 min read
This is Stand-in’s FAQ prepared for Tumblr’s ask. I will just put up a DA version here. Q. What is Stand-in comic about? [The first concept art of Stand-in] Stand-in is a Frans comic where Frisk disappears several years after Chara’s power was counteracted. One night, Frisk returns without a sign. Everything starts to change within Sans, Frisk, and Chara; and their inner truths will ultimately be revealed. Attention: This comic contains Sans x Frisk. Frisk is “she” and Chara is “he”. Please make sure it is acceptable for you before you start reading.Q. Is this comic NSFW?Stand-in is primarily SFW. None of the explicit nudity, bloody, or guro content will be shown in this comic. However, some scenes in the comics and individual artworks might be considered suggestive. Sensitive drawings will be always marked adult content. Q. How do I find a particular chapter I want to read? If you need to view the chapters in order, please use Gallery’s album Q. What tools do you use to make this

My dear alien god… This comic… it's still going? And the author… still alive? I don’t want to confuse anyone, but I just have this long, deep connection to it, tied to some of the most nostalgic parts of my life. I don’t want to stay silent, but I also don’t want to stop myself from saying that I want to be different and share my true honest story even if for some people canlookcstrange, I made myself be not like others from the place I was born. Triangle Cat, I don’t know much about you, I don’t even know your full bio, but your comic, "Stand In"… it was… so popular! Especially outside the US. I’m from the Middle East-Asia, and I remember reading it when I was just 13. Everyone was obsessed with Undertale back then, and so was I. I was watching every possible neutral ending, reading fanfiction and comics, completely absorbed in that world. I was an introverted, lonely kid. I didn’t have friends, didn’t want them. But whenever I talked to someone online about these things, it made me so happy. One day, I stumbled upon this obscure YouTuber who was doing dubs of your comic. I decided to watch it because there weren't many comics about Frans out there, so I thought it would be a nice, simple, absurd story to follow. But then it hit me… like a hurricane, sweeping me off my feet and flying me into a new world, filled with feelings and things I had never experienced before. I felt like I was being pulled into this new reality, captivated by the story. I remember listening to each page with wild delight, my heart pounding, my hands cold, like I was reading something deeply important from a crush, as a child. The story, the voice acting, everything about it amazed me. It was like a portal to a new, beautiful world, a much-needed escape from the depressing and terrifying reality I was in. I remember rushing home from school, eagerly diving under my blanket to continue this adventure. It was like I became a different person, filled with a positive energy I had never felt before. The art, the unique moments in the story… I didn’t even care about evaluating the drawing skills because the plot was so strong, it made me ignore everything else. I know this might sound weird, especially if someone isn’t in the right mood, but I’m just pouring out my soul here. I’m in a nostalgic moment, feeling vulnerable, not thinking about work but about the future, and how happy I used to imagine it could be. When I finished reading all the published chapters, I wanted more. I started searching the internet for any groups, any discussions about it. I mostly connected with the Russian-speaking community because in my country, no one cared about this stuff. It was all about wars and serious life. I didn’t even think to search in English… I wasn’t that smart. Eventually, I found a small group of 16 people dedicated to this comic on a Russian-language app. I was so nervous, afraid to join because what if they judged me? What if I did something stupid? But I took the risk, and that small, thin white streak of happiness finally appeared in my life. I learned to open up to the right people, to communicate, and finally found joy in it, not the condemnation and humiliation I grew up with. I finally had hope, a desire to build a better future. I even started drawing, sharing my art without second thoughts, because I trusted this group so much. We discussed your comic, the depressing moments, life in general. We loved theorizing about the eels, even though we didn’t fully understand them. We thought it was some hidden knowledge about the world, or something higher. We moved on to personal topics, shared hobbies, and eventually, I got really close to one person in the group. He already had a goal: to get out of the terrible place he lived in. We didn’t have much in common, but we talked perfectly, growing closer with each conversation. When the author stopped releasing dubs and deleted his channel for unknown reasons, our hope for a continuation faded. It became harder to find the original work, and slowly, people started leaving the group, until it was just me and my friend. But those moments, when I read your comic and learned to communicate, those moments I had with those people will always be precious to me. This feelings in that moments gave me hope, a desire for a happy future. We grew up, but our friendship stayed the same. When we were finishing school and preparing for college, we worked hard to achieve our goal of studying in Europe. We studied languages, worked on our skills, and it felt so good to have someone on the same path, supporting me even if he is across many countries from me and I can't even see him alive at that moment. After all our hard work, we finally got the exams passed and the documents ready. My friend caught a cold, but he was still energetic and cheerful. We got our appointment with the embassy to get our visas. But then… I couldn’t reach him. He stopped answering my calls, my messages. Days turned into weeks, and I started to worry. Finally, I got my visa, but I was still waiting for an answer that never came. A month and a half later, his mother contacted me. He had no siblings, no close relatives. I was relieved to finally hear something, thinking he would respond soon. But then.. she told me… reactive airway dysfunction syndrome…. he had.. a.. The cold triggered an asthmatic attack… and he just fell asleep… and never woke up. Just like that. I was… broken. I never imagined he would get so ill, not at a time like this, not when we had finally made it through all the struggles. I was depressed, left alone again. But then, staring into space one day, I realized I didn’t want to stay depressed. I knew this moment in my life was important, and I didn’t want to spend my college years in darkness. It was hard, but I found the strength to move forward, even though it felt selfish, like his life had meant nothing to me. I still regret not visiting him, not seeing him one last time, not even visiting his grave… but it’s hard. I finally made it to Europe, to Norway. The first weeks were hell, trying to adapt to a new country, new people, everything. But eventually, I managed to stay neutral, found friends, and started living like a normal person, which is all I ever wanted. I’m now living in Oslo, in a middle-class apartment. I’ve learned five languages at an advanced level, and I’ve been going to the gym and having adventures with my close friends. I’m finally living a happy life, one I never knew I wanted or could reach. It feels so good sometimes, though also ordinary, neutral, like it just happened… but still, happily neutral. I never imagined I could get this far. It’s been so long since I read your comic… just… wow. So many memories, so many happy moments. I just want to personally thank you, author. If it weren’t for your comic… I don’t know where I’d be. Probably caught up in the casual gang wars back in my hometown. I wouldn’t have met that friend, wouldn’t have felt happy, wouldn’t have wanted to build a happy future, wouldn’t have had hope, or a clear picture of what I wanted from life. And I wouldn’t have had a friend who supported me all this time, just like I supported him. Thank you again, author. I didn’t want to share this story, thinking it might seem strange, since you were just drawing a casual comic for a casual audience. But I wanted to share my true thoughts and feelings, to let my words flow honestly, as I’m feeling right now…

Thank you for sharing so many things about you. Forgive me for not being able to reply with the same length of the texts you did. But my heart of cherishing your story and your full support won't be any less. I'm glad you're happy with your life now. That's the life you worked hard to earn and you deserve it.



Your love for my comic is greatly appreciated. It's my pleasure to share something that can make your life better. I hope you will continue to walk on the path you wish for and things will go smoothly for you.



Cheers.

I guess we can thank each other for a long time. I have many reasons to thank you. I also appreciate how you didn't mind me sharing my story. After I wrote and sent all of this, I felt nervous and, every couple of hours, wanted to delete it. I worried it might come across as showing off or as if I were a strange person. Or at least, I thought it might seem awkward for me to share my story and worries this way, knowing that real life isn't like a hero's storyline, and most people don’t appreciate it. I hope you achieve everything you want in life, author. I'll remember you and this comic for a long time. Just imagine how absurd it would sound if your father told you he moved on with his life and got where he is now because of a “simple” comic that most people read over dinner and then forget. _ Anyway, that’s my strange story, and I’m getting back to my adventures now. Soon, my friends and I will move to Greenland and spend the rest of our holidays there, enjoying the view and the unique geography of that country. Though I'm going there for adventures and scientific studies—listening to boring ice and observing how people's biological food needs change when they've lived there from birth—it’s pretty strange stuff for others.



I worked hard and achieved this much because of you. It's a reminder that life is strange—sometimes people don’t need any heroic reason or a wave of motivation to start improving. I’m not a literal machine that can do that, and sometimes even a “simple” and “good” comic like yours can touch someone’s heart and trigger events so significant that it changes someone’s life. I wonder if I’ve ever changed someone’s life like that with all the weak and strange conversations I’ve had. I doubt it, but I'm still curious. It’s just a feeling that can’t be described or replaced when you finally start improving yourself so much that you feel like you're getting the dream life you always wanted. So, thanks again, author. I don’t wish for much, but I just want to share and remind you that rest and discipline are all good—you just need to think about them positively and balance them since life is not as simple as many people think. Thanks again, and have a good path! Rest, and have good timing when you need concentration—just when you need it—since being collected all the time can be bad and useless too. Sorry for these long, probably boring, and useless messages. Most people expect and want only simple text and short conversations. These are just my feelings, thoughts, and the changes that were caused because of you. It's too hard and important, too strong to try to write in just five sentences. My life has been too harsh, hard, and eventful, so I’m sorry for that too. I really don’t like when people think I do this to get attention. I’m just trying to briefly share my life story so you can get the main message.



Well, back again. I’ll continue staying in this mood. It’s a real-life moment when you realize how much you've grown compared to the people who surrounded you in the past and how hard you worked from that old perspective and that horrible place to get here. Here I am, laying down, just continuing my life casually, sometimes forgetting where I’m from, what kind of person I was, and the empty, blurry future I had back then. I just keep working. I guess I’ll get back to walking alone in this mood, where I enjoy the moment with these thoughts and feelings, and visit Preikestolen again. Thanks again, author.



Live your life and enjoy the various, strong, and fascinating moments in it. (On second thought, I wanted to delete this again since it looked like I called you lazy and suggested you had no serious adult life—geez, I feel strange ⸝⸝⸝>﹏<⸝⸝⸝). But I’m just acting, speaking, and saying things like this in real life, and I often forget to adjust it depending on the person so it doesn’t come across the wrong way. Farewell again, author! ヾ(˃ᴗ˂)◞ • *✰)
