History Trivia / InvertedFate

** [[https://invertedfate.tumblr.com/post/665174240405962752/i-think-that-after-all-of-this-is-over-undyne The Barrier was specifically designed by the humans to require seven human SOULs to break.]]

* [[HeAlsoDid She Also Did]]: Dorked, the creator of ''Inverted Fate'' also writes a ''[[Franchise/KingdomHearts Kingdom Hearts]]'' fanfiction called ''[[Fanfic/KingdomHeartsTheAntipode Antipode]]''.

** Another has started for the True Lab arc from May 2021.

* DescendedCreator: Dohj is voiced by Dorked, the creator of the AU.

** Earlier in the AU's existence, there were plans to explore [[KillEmAll the Genocide Route]] as a noncanon story. The idea was eventually scrapped because the setup for such an event would be [[https://invertedfate.tumblr.com/post/645936316979265536/since-papyrus-seems-to-restrict-your-ability-to too contrived to make sense]]; Flowey needs all the characters alive for his plan, Frisk is unlikely to seek out violence as a solution [[spoiler:due to past trauma]], and Chara remembers Frisk's positive runs from the original timeline and would be less willing to accept killing monsters. An overview of what was planned can be found [[https://invertedfate.tumblr.com/post/645940931642736640/if-youre-not-planning-on-making-a-genocide here]].

* IKnewIt: The end of Part 36 confirms the popular theories that [[spoiler:Papyrus created Flowey instead of Undyne]], [[spoiler:Mettaton is not actually corporeal with his body]], and [[spoiler:Undyne has been injecting herself with Determination]].
** Several people correctly guessed that Part 47 would involve [[spoiler:Undyne melting from too much Determination]]. However, the circumstances were a bit different.
*** They also guessed that [[spoiler:she would end up merging with another monster]].

** Quite a long one occurred from March until September in 2018, to work on the Trial video for Part 36, which at one point was going to become a playable game.

** Another started has started for the True Lab arc from May 2021.

** There was originally an Undyne date/hangout planned at one point, but it was scrapped because it just wouldn't work with how things before it played out, since [[spoiler:Undyne is still unhappy after being pressured into giving up on her promise, and Frisk isn't likely to forgive her for the trauma she caused them]]. Instead, the date/hangout with Mettaton in Part 53 effectively serves as ''Inverted Fate's'' counterpart of the Alphys date/hangout from ''Undertale''.

* CrossDressingVoices: Flowey is voiced by a woman in the comic dub.
* DescendedCreator: Dohj is voiced by Dorked, the author of this AU.
* IJustWriteTheThing: The author, Dorked, has said that she didn't ship [[spoiler:Frisk and Chara]] or [[spoiler:Papyrus and Mettaton]] when she first started writing ''Inverted Fate'', but ended up doing so (at least in the context of the AU, not in canon) as she developed the relationships and dynamics of each pairing. It is currently unknown if these ships will eventully happen in the comic, but there has been a lot of ShipTease for them.

** Another one started near the end of December 2020 and lasted until April 2021.

* NamesTheSame: Both ''Inverted Fate'' and ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'' have episodes with the title "Everything Is (Not) Fine." Although the ''Inverted Fate'' episode had been released after the ''Steven Universe Future'' episode, the script and title were written a couple years before the ''SUF'' episode was aired.

*** Additionally, Mad Dummy/Mew Mew wasn't going to get as much focus after the CORE as she ended up with.

** An even longer one happened from December 2018 to October 2020 because the Undyne fight video was being worked on, not helped by behind-the-scenes technical issues on the animator's end. To compensate for this, more secret pages on the website were made in the meantime, as were some playable versions of fights that had already happened in the comic.
** Another one started on December 2020 and lasted until April 2021.

** Part 36 (The Trial) was originally intended as a video, but then came the idea to make it a playable game that would be recorded and released as a video for anyone who couldn't or didn't want to play. However, a TroubledProduction lead to the original decision to make it a video to shorten the hiatus, and a playable version would be made and released later.
** The Mad Dummy fight in the Core was originally going to have Frisk and Chara make them so mad that they would become corporeal with their body as a reference to the genocide run, with Chara (who Mad Dummy can hear) saying more and more funny things every time the "Check" option was used. However, during the hiatus that happened while the Part 36 was being made, the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch release of ''Undertale'' and the bonus fight with Mad Mew Mew resulted in [[spoiler: her being made into a second phase of the fight, and ended with her not becoming corporeal and instead finding a better way to do so other than being angry]]. This turned out to be a good change, because not only did it give the character more depth, but also [[spoiler: provided a way for Frisk, Flowey, and Undyne to see what Chara looks like]].

* {{Jossed}}: Some people thought that Part 47 would end with [[spoiler: Frisk being unable to reload after dying to Undyne, but they would eventually regain the ability in Part 48]]. It ended in a different way.
