Undertale/Ships

= Alphore =  Alphore is the het ship between Alphys and Asgore Dreemurr.

Undertale
Backstory

After W. D. Gaster's science experiment had gone wrong, with him being deemed missing/dead, Asgore hired Alphys as his new royal scientist. Alphys had a crush on Asgore for quite some time, calling him "Mr. Dreamy" in private, though it is not specified how long she's been harboring it. He gave her the order to experiment on SOULs and Determination, which led to Alphys making mistakes she deeply regretted. Among those mistakes was the creation of Flowey, she injected a buttercup with Determination in hopes of bringing Asgore's son Asriel back to life, only for Flowey to turn out murderous and manipulative due to his lack of a SOUL. Mettaton's creation was actually an attempt to impress Asgore, claiming that she could create a SOUL from scratch, in actuality, she merely gave a ghost a robot body. Neutral Route

During Mettaton's quiz show, after Mettaton noticed Alphys had given Frisk the correct answers, Mettaton asked who Alphys' crush was, and one of the answer choices was Asgore. If this answer was chosen, Mettaton told Frisk about Alphys' feelings for Asgore. Later, when Frisk was about to face Asgore, Alphys felt sad while telling the human that the only way to leave the Underground was by killing Asgore.

Pacifist Route

If the player managed to go through the entire game without killing a single monster and defeated Flowey once, Papyrus will call Alphys alongside the other 2 main characters (Sans and Undyne, with Toriel arriving on her own), to prevent Frisk and Asgore from killing each other. When Undyne tries to reassure Asgore about his ex Toriel being there, telling him "There's plenty of fish in the sea", Alphys agrees, saying that she has moved on from chasing boss monsters to wanting to date a cute fish. But the happy athmosphere doesn't last, as Alphys questions how he knew to call everyone here, with Papyrus saying that "a tiny flower helped him"... Alphys realizes that all of them being at the same place was a trap lured by Flowey. On cue, Flowey traps all six of them in his vines, making them helpless enough to directly attack him in his fight against Frisk, having already stolen the human SOULs, he plans to consume the souls of Frisk's friends as well. Right after Alphys tells Frisk that she believes that they can beat Flowey even though she herself thinks it's impossible, Asgore tells them to stay determined for both humans and monsters' sake. Though when all of the other monsters in the Underground join to aid Frisk, Flowey just consumes all of their souls, unleashing his true form as Asriel Dreemurr.

Managing to defeat Asriel through pure Determination and freeing all of their friends' SOULs by reminding them of who they are, Frisk and the six main characters find themselves back in the room in front of the Barrier. Their memory fuzzy of what just happened, they remain there for the rest of the game until Frisk chooses to open the barrier, setting all of their new friends free. If the player listens to their conversations, Alphys will reveal that she's completely over her crush on Asgore, legitimately thinking that he and Toriel would make a cute couple in a way that clarifies that she ships them.

Deltarune
When Kris goes to talk to their teacher Alphys and asks about the flowers, she mentions that Asgore (Kris' father) always asks Alphys how Kris is doing and then gives her a bouquet of flowers. Alphys then starts to nervously wonder if Asgore likes [most likely her] but does not finish this sentence and instead wonders if Asgore likes the comics she went to him. She notes that Asgore reminds her of a superhero.

Fanon
Alphore is not as popular as rival ships Alphyne and Asgoriel. It still has support and is typically shipped alongside Undyrus and Soriel. It still has a bit of popularity due to Alphys' crush on him, though most players like to keep them platonic.

A common theme in fanwork involving both of them is Alphys introducing him to anime.

Annoying Tem
 Annoying Tem is the non-binary ship between the Annoying Dog and Temmie.

Undertale
Temmie and Annoying Dog are not shown to know each other in-game. While Temmies only appear in Temmie Village (with the exception of the one Temmie fought in Waterfall shortly before entering the village), the Annoying Dog does not appear in this location, although it does appear in various other locations.

At the Tem Shop, Temmie is shown to like Dog Residue, which is left behind by the Annoying Dog in the Artifact Room. In the Nintendo Switch version of Undertale, visiting the room unlocks a border called "Super Dog, Hoi", which features the Annoying Dog. The name of the border includes the word "Hoi", which is a greeting commonly used by Temmies.

Deltarune
Like in Undertale, the Annoying Dog and Temmie never interact. Both are present, although their roles are not very notable. Temmie appears as one of Kris' classmates while the Annoying Dog is working on a video game in the library.

Fanon
People like to pair Temmie and Annoying Dog because they are both animals, and are quite similar (Temmie being a sort of dog-cat hybrid). Another reason is that both characters are based on people who were involved in creating Undertale (the Annoying Dog represents main creator Toby Fox while Temmie represents artist Temmie Chang). Both are also associated with the Dogsong leitmotif.

It is not as popular as many of the ships involving Frisk and Chara. It doesn't have major rival ships as the Annoying Dog and Temmie are both rare in shipping.

FAN FICTION

Trivia

 * There was a misconception that unlocking the "Super Dog, Hoi" border was by visiting Temmie Village.

Dogamyressa
 Dogamyressa is the het ship between Dogamy and Dogaressa. AKA: Dogi

Canon
Long before the events of the main game, Dogamy and Dogaressa placed second in the Nose Nuzzle Championship '98, placing only behind Asgore and Toriel. Some time later, the two joined the Canine Unit of the Royal Guard. A sign says there is dog marriage right before you meet them. Dogamy and Dogaressa kissed and it showed a heart.

If Frisk plans on sparing the dogs, they roll in the ground and trick the couple into thinking they're a lost puppy. They then pet both of them, leaving them to think that dogs can pet other dogs. Afterwards, if they are spared, the two can be seen beside each other at Grillby's.

It is impossible to spare exactly one of them. If Dogaressa is killed first, Dogamy's attacks become weaker as he feels sadness over his wife's death. If Dogamy is killed first, Dogaressa's attacks get stronger, as she gets angry and tries to avenge her husband.

In the True Pacifist ending, the two reunite with their long-gone parents. All four of them, along with other dogs, have merged into an Amalgamate called Endogeny. Dogamy and Dogaressa wonder whether this merge means the two are siblings now. But end up dismissing sibling marriage as something dogs often do regardless. In the credits, it is said they are "finally" number one Nose Nuzzle Champions, as the previous winners (Toriel and Asgore) are unable to participate due to their divorce.

Fanon
Most fans ship Dogamy and Dogaressa due to them always appearing together and undoubtedly being in love with each other. It does not have any notable rival ships. On AO3, it is the most written ship for both characters, and in stories, the two appear most commonly along with each other and Sans. The ship is not, however, a mainstream ship due to Dogamy and Dogaressa not being very major characters.

Trivia

 * Dogamy and Dogaressa always appear together in-game.
 * Both characters' names are somehow marriage related. Dogaressa is a term used to refer to the wife of a doge, a ruler in Reneissance-era Republic of Venice. Dogamy's name is based on the suffix -gamy, which is used for marriage terms (such as monogamy).
 * If the player uses cheats to kill one of the Dogi and spare the other, the game treats it as having both killed.

Dunkin Donuts
 Dunkin Donuts is the het ship between Sans and Muffet. AKA: Muffans, Sanset, Sansfet, Sanuffet

Canon
Sans and Muffet never directly interact in the game, and the only time they appear in the same place together is in the True Pacifist Route when many of the monsters come to support Frisk during their final battle against Flowey.

However, Sans references Muffet's business when upon refusing to buy a hot dog from his stand, he comments "yeah, you've gotta save your money for college and spiders", which indicates that Sans is at least aware of her existence, thus they may have interacted before Frisk fell in the Underground.

Similarities:
 * Both characters appear as bosses.
 * Both boss battles can be completely avoided. Muffet's fight can be avoided if the player buys an item from Muffet's bake sale in Hotland for 9999 gold, and Sans' fight can be avoided if the player does any route other than a Genocide Route.
 * Both of their battles turn the protagonist's SOUL into a different color (blue for Sans and purple for Muffet).
 * Both sell food in Hotland. Sans sells Hot Dogs and Muffet sells Spider Donuts and Spider Ciders.

Fanon
The pairing has some support, with a decent amount of fanart on DeviantArt, and there are multiple people who have the pairing as their OTP. On Deviantart, the pairing has a fanclub dedicated to it, with 13 members and 45 watchers as of January 2022. One of the most popular images of the ship is Sans and Muffet's family by killb94 with over 200 favorites, featuring Sans and Muffet with many fanchildren made by different people. The pairing also has a collection dedicated to it made by Dracayla.

On AO3, the ship is the third most written ship for Muffet (not including pairings which do not pair Muffet with a specific character such as Muffet/Reader), behind Muffby and Papyruffet, with 21 fanworks as of January 2022. It is not among the top ships for Sans or the Undertale fandom. The pairing also has some fanworks on Wattpad, as well as videos dedicated to it on YouTube.

The pairing's most common ship name is a reference to the fact that Sans has a famous quote "Get dunked on!" and Muffet sells donuts. Alternatively used ship names include portmanteaus of the characters' names, including Muffans and Sanset. Out of these, the latter is also a pun on the word sunset.

Dunkin Donuts is, however, less popular than many of its rival ships, especially for Sans, such as Soriel or Frans. It does not have as many rivaling ships for Muffet due to the fact that Muffet is a less major character in the game and Muffet is not shown to interact with anyone other than Frisk and Mettaton (who is presumed to be the one who hired her offering a lot of money to have Frisk's SOUL).

 * Dunkin Donuts is one of the two Undertale ships to be named after food chains, the other being KFC.

Frisemmie
 Frisemmie is the non-binary ship between Frisk and Temmie.

Canon
In the Neutral/Pacifist Route, Frisk encountered a Temmie while in Waterfall. Temmie loved to pet humans, but unfortunately for Frisk, they were allergic to Temmies. Frisk had the option to flex, which would make Temmie run away, and Aaron appear instead. Frisk could also spare the Temmie by talking to her or eating Temmie Flakes.

After the encounter, Frisk found Temmie Village, where they met several Temmies. While most of these Temmies were regular Temmies speaking broken English, some had special interactions. One Temmie was called Bob and spoke normally. Another Temmie noted Frisk's allergy to Temmies, as they were also allergic.

Frisk could fund the Tem Shop Temmie's college. If they did so, they got the option to buy an expensive Temmie Armor, although Temmie told Frisk to only buy it if they really needed it. Frisk could also buy Temmie Flakes, which healed them, as well as sell items such as Dog Residue.

Fanon
Frisemmie is a rare ship. Fanart of Frisk and Temmie(s) exists, but usually not in a romantic way. Its more popular rival ship for Temmie is Annoying Tem and there are various Frisk ships that are more popular, such as Friskriel and Frans. Due to the pairing's rarity, it is rarely (if at all) involved in ship wars.

 * In Deltarune, Temmie is classmates with Kris, who can be considered the Deltarune counterpart of Frisk (and Chara).

NicePants
 NicePants is the slash ship between Burgerpants and the Nice Cream Guy.

Undertale
In Undertale, according to a rarely-seen bit of dialogue from Burgerpants, the two know each other. Burgerpants mentions that the Nice Cream Guy often visits the MTT Resort to gauge Burgerpants' opinions on his 'jokes' he writes for his ice cream wrappers. One of the jokes in question simply contains "A picture of two dudes hugging" and the words "I love hugs!" Despite finding the jokes unfunny, Burgerpants tells him they're good, as he always get free nice cream afterwards.

In the same dialogue, it is also shown that the Nice Cream Guy calls Burgerpants "Burgy" as a nickname.

Deltarune
In Deltarune, the Nice Cream Guy and Pizzapants (Burgerpants' name in Deltarune) are co-workers at ICE-E's P"E"ZZA. Pizzapants calls the Nice Cream Guy "Blue Ears" and describes him as soft serve obsessed and having no concept of personal space, he is also described as constantly spilling slushies on Pizzapants and giggling, overall seeming to suggest a possible crush.

In Chapter 2, the Nice Cream Guy comments on Pizzapants being more energetic stating "Seeing him happy makes me happy too!!"

Fanon
Besides their interactions within the canon story, many also ship these two characters because of their generally opposing personalitlies, seeing the contrast between Nice Cream Guy's enthusiastic, cheerful disposition and Burgerpants's negativity and sarcasm as an interesting or cute dynamic. Many Undertale fanworks that feature both characters, such as AUs and stories taking place after the events of the game, give the two some from of connection, either as friends or a couple.

While it isn't one of the fandom's most well-known ships overall, Nicepants has a decent following and is the most popular ship for either character. The most notable rival ship, Cattypants, is far less prevalent.

Sansgore
 Sansgore is the slash ship between Sans and Asgore.

Canon
Asgore and Sans don't have a good relationship because well the player sees them meet at the end of the game in pacifist. It is also known that Sans has met him before the pacifist, but they are alright. They seem as to be a perfect in their own way because fans love Sans and Asgore plus they are so common because they are always the ones that are close to fighting or meeting the new thing which makes it perfect.
