⚠️⚠️WARNING: BLOOD AND GORE/ BODY HORROR!! ⚠️⚠️
Yeah I lied again-
There is angst
BUTTTT- it comes with an AU redesign so you can’t be mad at me >:3
Almond!! Aka: my take on Backrooms Sans
Been playing some backrooms games recently and had the uncontrollable urge to redesign Almond because I genuinely wasn’t happy with the first design :/
There’s been quite a lot of differences, to both lore and character design
For example how Almond ended up in the backrooms (teleporting as the game got uninstalled on the players computer)
The AU also has an actual name now!! Un(der)install
Yes spelled like that with brackets and all
(Also, for ease of clarification, I’ve decided Almond uses It/It’s pronouns, but it didn’t discover that about itself until it got stuck in the backrooms, so any misgendering on the UT cast’s part is unintentional as they genuinely do not know :D ))(if you don’t agree with Neo pronouns you can get off my page btw, go stub your toe asshole)
And finally, I couldn’t resist the urge to draw Almond in the mirror meme
I’m so cringe /pos
Don’t ask me how it found a mirror in the backrooms idfk
Link to original design if you’re curious!!

The Backrooms
Read it on ao3 instead!
Okay so I'm going to start this part with a little bit of background! This is going to be a CYOA style fic EVENTUALLY but for now it is a reader driven CYOA. I have the whole thing laid out and over half written and I will be updating every three days until we go through all of the reader choices! You can either vote on ao3 in the comments or on Tumblr at this poll! Now that all of that is taken care of....Welcome to the Backrooms :)
-------
I’m gonna die.
I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die-
Holy fuck I’m going to DIE.
Eddie rounded another corner, tripping over his feet and falling briefly to his hands and knees before scrambling back up as fast as he could, continuing to sprint at a breakneck speed. His lungs screamed in protest, years of smoking finally catching up to him as he literally ran for his life
What was it that Chrissy had always said?
‘You shouldn’t smoke, Eds. It’ll kill you,’
God. Chrissy.
Where the fuck was Chrissy?!
The desperate thought was immediately drowned out by the sound of one of the creature’s behind him screeching in rage.
No, it wasn’t smoking that was about to kill Eddie. It was those…things chasing him.
He couldn’t worry about Chrissy right now. He had to focus on saving himself.
Another grim wail, grinding on his ears and dangerously close. Just that disgusting sound was enough to give Eddie another boost of adrenaline, his mouth filling with the taste of iron as he ran. He had no way of knowing how long he had been racing through this hellscape, or how he had ended up here, but Eddie did know one thing.
He was running out of time.
The stitch in his side continued to grow, going from a throbbing pain to a white hot poker jabbing itself between his ribs. All those years of skipping gym class and sneering at jocks were mocking him now.
A jock would probably survive this.
A wild reckless part of himself wanted to collapse- just give up and let what was going to happen happen, but his base human instinct to survive forced his body forward, turning him blindly into another disgustingly yellow room.
That was all he had seen since he landed in this godforsaken place. Yellow room, yellow room, yellow hallway, yellow room, and on, and on, and on.
Maybe he was already dead, and this was what hell really was. There was a small part of his mind that was clinging to some semblance of sanity, and it kept thinking that if he could just get out of this room and through the next, maybe he could lose the monsters that were chasing him.
But each doorway kept leading to the same yellow rooms. Over, and over, and over, and over.
Eddie risked a look backwards as he rounded yet another corner. He couldn’t see how many of the creatures were chasing him, but it looked like there was even more than before. They were some sort of mutant bats- ginormous disgusting creatures with fangs the size of his hand and glowing red demon eyes crawling on the floor, the walls, even the damn ceiling.
No. He couldn’t give up. He couldn’t let those things get him. At best, they would tear him to pieces. At worst….
Well Eddie wasn’t really sure what could be worse than that, but he didn’t want to find out.
He just had to keep running. Eventually he would get somewhere new. Running was all he had to do, and that would be easy. He had spent his entire life running from bullies. These were just slightly more murderous evil monster bullies.
I can do this. It’ll be fine. I can do this.
Then he tripped and went sprawling to the ground.
Shit.
The bats were on him in a second, grotesque slimy tails wrapping around each of his limbs and pulling him spread eagle. The fluorescent lights above him droned a death knoll as one of the bats curled up on his chest, letting out a soft snarl as its entire face opened up into rows and rows of jagged bloody teeth.
Running wasn’t an option anymore. As far as he could see, Eddie only had two choices left.
GIVE UP
SCREAM

Guys hear me out. TMA x The backrooms
Marv is Jon
Ivan is Elias (👎)
Peter is Tim
Kim is Sasha
Mark is Martin
Etc etc
Yes I know mark fits more as Jon and Marv as Martin personality wise but trauma and experience wise I feel it fits the other way around. Marv was there for EVERYTHING, down to even when Peter disappeared. He survived despite all the odds. Mark had the one experience that leaves him screwed up likely permanently
Jon was touched by every fear out there and survived against the odds. He witnessed all of it first hand.
Martin was touched by a few fears of course, but mainly the lonely. Something that leaves him permanently screwed up.
Not sure if async is the archive or vice versa, or maybe a mix of both yet
Also yes I may or may not be Not Sashaing Kim. Sorry Kim. I love you I swear
It’s very concepty still
I may also add Wyatt because I’m a big enjoyer of Dadvin. I will not elaborate.
