At first, they were fearful. They DID fear the humans at first. That’s why there were puzzles there. It was after a VERY long time that they figured that NOBODY would come underground at all-Fearing the humans no longer, they moved out of their old city, HOME. And as I said before, Toriel and Asriel stayed in the Ruins.

Yes, when Chara fell down, the myth that they’re safe has been busted. Chara falling, therefore, would NOT lead to them “fearing the humans no longer”, AND, it means the plaques of Waterfall must have been written before the fall of Chara. So, they must have “feared the humans no longer” BEFORE then. For a completely different reason. The Waterfall plaques couldn’t have been written before they got to the Ruins:If they were fleeing to the Ruins, that would mean they DID fear the humans. But it’s clear they didn’t, and believed they were safe. Therefore, this was written after they moved out of the Ruins.
