Uhhh idk rambling about the f/os that source from Horror Games based on if I think I could play the game

Karl: I probably could play the game BUT I suck ass at games like RE:V and also would probably be SO gay watching his scenes In Person.

"The Pig"/Amanda: I suck at games like DBD but it'd be fun tbh.

Harvey: I absolutely would not be able to handle getting jumpscared and then cry over Harvey so probably not tbh. I love watching/listening to gameplay tho the game is beautiful

Nate: I can NOT handle the tense atmosphere of the game dude I got to like, 2 a.m. in FNAF2 and was perfectly FINE but I couldn't cope 😭

Miles: I could play the game absolutely but like some scares might get me. Also I'd cry about all the bullshit my boy goes through.

Abraham: If I choose to ignore the ending I absolutely could play the game lmao. Best part is I'm 90% sure I couldn't fuck up and get my babyboy killed sooo. We love to see it!

Itward and Paltronas: I would have a BLAST playing this game holy fuck I wanna play it so bad. I don't CARE that I've watched like so many different playthroughs!!! It's THAT good!!!

Glamrock Freddy: I think I could handle this game because it's less like the OGs in terms of like, atmosphere but still got stuff that could scare me so! Idk.

Allison and Tom: Idk I'm mixed. I like, haven't finished watching playthroughs of the game bc I lost interest in it?? Don't ask how they became f/os if I kept losing interest in the game I cannot explain.

Daniel: Probably? Idk how much horror is in his game though. Either way it'd be quirky.

HUNK: Same as Karl except I don't have to fight him (I think) but get to go "awooga train whistle heart eyes ba-dump ba-dump" the second he shows up.

V.I.C.: I could for like a few first days of the game but then I'd get overwhelmed by all the orders and maintaining shit?? But the game FUCKS so hard so I think I could get over it or get a strategy.

Luna: I absolutely couldn't like I'm too worried about my wife getting snatched by BITCHES. But I do love the investigation aspect of the game so if I ever did get the money to play it I'd just play the mode where it's just solving shit.

Lucas: Absolutely not I'm too stupid for the gameplay and I'd fucking scream seeing ANY jumpscare. Also the game is so fucking difficult I could not handle it.

Dana and Emma: I think I could but the SECOND that motherfucker rolls up with that music and shit I'd fucking lose it.

Colt: I suck at stealth but I think I could tbh. It's a type of style I'd love to play but like, I just suCK at stealth.

Rebecca: I would love to omg. The way the game is different for every player and playthrough LIKEEEE. On the other hand if like, the demons did some shit or I didn't notice the Mimic until too late I'd fucking lose it.

Eugene: No, which is on the entire basis that I am deeply afraid of spiders. Idc that it's a fuckign Spider Train I would freak the fuck out if I saw that fucking thing crawl at me.

Jeff: I mean I literally love playing the game so yeah absolutely <3. I can't fuCKING get past the floors after The Figure but that's because I panic and don't get in the closet.

John Doe: YESYEYSYESYEYS I would be soooo happy to play the game omg omg omg

Andrew: YES I love the game I love the style I love him and I just. It's fun.

Beastie: Fuck yeah. Except I'd purposely run at it because I love my sweet loud creacher. Also I love seeing how people animate it's jumpscares!!!

(I didn't include Pierce, Cat, and Green bc I play the games like really often. I did include Jeff bc I haven't played the game since it's been updated soo there's new things and I'm intimidated.)

🤔‼️👀🪚🚑🛫🖐🏻🍎🛬🥳🥂💁🏽‍♂️🙎🏻‍♂ (😉)

🫶🏻🫶🏻

I'm going to be so real with you, Maxi, I have NO IDEA what the apple is supposed to be.

39 for ❄️:

---

Something that would have made his stomach curl with shame and anger for decades of his life. Something he thinks might sort of be a Hail Mary. 

He calls his father. 

“Eddie,” Ramon answers after two rings. “Hey. Christopher isn’t here right now, but-”

“No,” Eddie interrupts. “I want to talk to you.”

There’s a pause. 

Eddie gets it. They don’t do this. Not often. Maybe they sort of started. After Ramon’s retirement party, when he started making more of an effort. Before Eddie started seeing Marisol again, and started struggling with… Well, with himself. Their whole relationship he’d felt on edge, no matter how much he’d liked her. So he’d talked to his father less and less, falling back into old patterns. 

“Okay,” Ramon says. “Let me just step outside, okay?”

“Okay.”

He waits. Hears what sounds like their back screen door swinging open and closed. 

“Alright, son,” his father says. “What’s going on?” 

Eddie takes a deep breath and remembers what Charlie said to him. You are going to do better, because you’re braver and stronger than you realize. You will get through this. And this will all just be a distant, painful memory. This isn’t your whole story, Eddie.

“I’m ready for Christopher to come home,” Eddie says. “And I’d like your help figuring out how best to achieve that.”

Another drawn out pause. 

“Okay,” Ramon says eventually.

Eddie’s shoulder’s drop. He’d been holding them tense. 

“Okay?” Eddie repeats. 

“Yes, son. I never… I never expected it would go on this long.”

Why did Chris become a carpenter? 🪚🔨

oooh I love this ask! Let me tell you, or better yet, let him tell you…

Chris ran his hand over the smooth grain of the bookshelf, feeling the wood beneath his fingertips. It was almost finished—just needed a final sanding and a coat of stain. He took a step back, tilting his head as he eyed the piece critically, making sure every line was even, every joint solid.

“You always look so serious when you’re working,” Nora’s voice came from behind him.

Chris turned to find her leaning against the doorway of her bookstore’s back room, a soft smile on her face. She was holding two mugs of coffee, and when she walked closer, she handed him one.

“Gotta make sure it’s perfect,” he said, accepting the mug and taking a slow sip.

She studied the bookshelf, running her fingers lightly along the edge. “It already looks perfect.”

Chris huffed a quiet laugh. “Not quite.”

Nora glanced at him over her mug. “Can I ask you something?”

“Anything.”

She hesitated for a moment, then said, “Why carpentry? I mean, I know you love it, and you’re incredible at it, but… how did you get into it?”

Chris looked down at his coffee, rolling the question around in his mind. It wasn’t something people asked him often—not in a way that really meant tell me the whole story. But with Nora, he found himself wanting to tell her.

“My dad,” he said finally, setting his mug on the workbench. “He was a carpenter. Not full-time—he worked a factory job, but on weekends, he’d take on side projects. Built a lot of stuff for people around town. Cabinets, tables, decks… he was good at it.”

Nora leaned against the workbench, listening intently.

Chris exhaled, a small, almost nostalgic smile on his face. “When I was a kid, I’d sit in the garage and watch him work. He’d let me hand him nails or hold the measuring tape. Then, when I got older, he started showing me how to do things myself. First little stuff—sanding, cutting scraps—then real projects. I built my first chair when I was fourteen. It was ugly as hell, but he acted like it belonged in a showroom.”

Nora’s eyes softened. “That’s really sweet.”

Chris chuckled. “Yeah. He was tough—real quiet, real serious—but when it came to teaching me, he had patience. He’d say, ‘Measure twice, cut once. And if you screw up, don’t let me catch you blaming the tools.’”

Nora smiled. “Sounds like good advice.”

He nodded. “It stuck with me. And after he passed… I don’t know, working with my hands just felt right. Like it kept me close to him.”

Nora reached out, resting her fingers lightly over his. “I love that.”

Chris turned his hand over, threading his fingers through hers. He didn’t say anything for a moment, just let the warmth of her touch settle something in his chest. Then he smirked, breaking the quiet.

“Besides,” he added, “I tried an office job for exactly three months after high school, and it was hell. Sitting at a desk all day? Not for me.”

Nora giggled, squeezing his hand. “No, I can’t see that for you.”

“Yeah, me neither.” He glanced back at the bookshelf. “This… this is better. Seeing something real come out of the work, you know?”

“I do.” Nora squeezed his fingers again, then smiled at him. “And for what it’s worth, I think your dad would be really proud.”

Chris swallowed, the words hitting him deep. He let out a breath, giving her hand a soft tug, pulling her just a little closer.

“Yeah?” he murmured.

“Yeah.”

For a second, he just looked at her, something quiet and warm settling between them. Then, with a playful glint in his eye, he leaned in, brushing his lips against her ear.

“You know,” he murmured, “it’s kinda unfair how you get me to spill my whole life story just by looking at me like that.”

Nora blushed, laughing softly. “I didn’t mean to.”

“Mm-hmm.” He kissed her temple, then stepped back, grabbing his sander. “Alright, sweetheart. Let me finish this up, and then I’m taking you to dinner.”

Nora smiled, watching him work, and Chris thought that maybe—just maybe—this was the best damn thing he’d ever built.

SO! SINCE THERE'S MORE - I was wondering if you'd truly be done with the undertale fandom once this finishes or could we expect more maybe? It sounds like we're nowhere close to the actual ending and I can only imagine how much this final stretch will take out of you lol nice chapter btw my favorite part was when Sans got judged at the bar

Once I'm done with APJFM, I want to try writing original fiction -- I doubt I'll ever spend this much time on a fanfic again! However, it'll be a while until we're done with APJFM.

Sans getting judged at the bar was inspired by @peonylanterns' reactions when she read what is now ch. 87, and Sans initially suggests marriage to Reader. She's allowed me to excerpt her reactions under the cut. (Red is her comments, blue is me.)

He frowns, leaning on the table and holding his hand to his chin. Then he brightens up. “those fuckers couldn’t call you my mistress if we were married, right? they’d have to call you my wife, or it’d be libel.”

death penalty

Yep — just as he’s thinking “hey here’s a great idea” he is actually signing his own death warrant 

You freeze. He doesn’t seem to notice.

“that’d give'em something to write about. we just have to find the right piece of paper and the right asshole in a suit, and boom, they gotta change their tune. how soon can we do that? there some kinda waiting period for a marriage license? i dunno anything 'bout this kinda stuff."

death penalty by buzzsaw

🤯🪚

“I, uh…“ 'Flabbergasted' doesn't quite seem to cover your reaction. "Are you seriously proposing to me?"

He frowns. "yeah. i mean, it makes sense, right?"

“You want to marry me because it makes sense,” you say, your voice unnaturally calm.

He looks more carefully at your face, and frowns. “i thought human girls liked getting proposed to.” 

death penalty with buzzsaw and also your ashes get thrown into the sewer so you can be essence of shit for all of eternity

So what I’m hearing is, you don’t think this is a good plan on his part 

“I thought you didn’t care about human marriage."

“i don’t,” he says with a dismissive gesture. “just figure it would make things a little easier on you. can’t control what the papers print, but if we’re married, they gotta treat you with a little more respect.”

going to take him apart ligament by ligament with my bare hands

But he thinks he’s being so damn smart 🤪

“So you’re making an honest woman out of me.”

He looks at you, and suddenly seems to grasp that mistakes may have been made. “look, it was just an idea. if you don’t wanna do it, it’s all the same to me.”

going to pay someone to continually restore your HP while you get eaten by dogs so that you can't die

Hahahaha

The list of f/os who would buy me a pretty knife for my birthday is a lot.

,,,,here's the list

47, Diana, AND Lucas. Three pretty knives, all different styles and stuff. 47 gets one with an engraving, Diana gets one that has a really pretty pattern, and Lucas just gets one that looks badass.

Erik but it's got like a lot of tiny details for me put on it and it's a kitchen knife specifically so I can cook!!

Arthur M. and he gets it with our initials engraved on the handle and flowers on the blade. Teaches me how to maintain it and keep it pretty. Also Javier would give me one bc his kid deserves protection damnit. He'd get a real sharp one that will fuck someone's day up.

Maze would absolutely get me one. Just a deadly lookin' blade that will also fuck someone's day up.

Geralt gets to be on this list except it's not a knife it's a fucking SWORD!!!!!! Gets it in the best quality he can too. Probably with some fancy ass hilt thingie.

Wade also would. Except it's matching knives. It's like matching best friend necklaces but a literal weapon. It's so cool.

Alcina would get me a really like...elegant dagger?? Idk. It seems like something she'd do.

Sully!! And it's matching ones with a song lyric that means a lot to us!!!! Which song? Haven't figured it out yet...one day >:)

Amanda but it's like...well. Something you'd find in a Saw movie. Made by her ofc <3

Warren but again it's a SWORD.

Nico would get like...a small dagger. Nothing fancy but it's custom made for me so :0

Misa and it's like...got black butterflies on it and it's iridescent? Yaknow?? Also she 100% knows how to do cool ass knife tricks.
