Hey! I was wondering which state do the other skelies live in?Like Wine seemed really surprised when he found out that Coffee was in Indiana, so is Indiana really far away from the state that they live in? Where on the map do the rest of the skeleton bros live?
Hope this question makes sense. Love the fic BTW โค
Hiii!!! This is actually such a fun question!
So, when planning the fic out, I wanted Mt. Ebott (both the mountain and the city) to be in a place that IRL there wouldn't be mountains (I think it adds something that there shouldn't be a mountain there, but there is anyway) but also a place that a fictional one wouldn't be too out of place.
So, strangely, I looked up where some of the Appalachian plains are! I figured it was in a close enough area in a semi-mountainous region that could theoretically house a mountain but typically doesn't.
Funnily enough, there is some in Ohio, so I choose that as their genesis, specifically somewhere in the southeast.
Plus, if magic and monsters were going to burst out of a random mountain anywhere in America, I believe Ohio is definitely in the top three areas, even if the closest thing to a mountain in Ohio is an overzealous hill. ๐ญ Basically, the skeletons are from Ohio because of course they would be.
Oh! And about Wine, Indiana isn't exactly far from Ohio (in my opinion lol), but to Wine it totally is especially in reference to Coffee. If memory serves correct, it's about a four hour drive from Ohio to Indiana. Realistically, walking from one end of the underground to the other would take maybe a few hours on foot and Coffee's driving. In contrast, it's a huge distance, and one that makes Wine feel wildly out of (control) reach.
Thank you so much for the love ๐ I really enjoyed answering this ๐
#I also specifically chose appalachia v. rocky because of just how old the appalachian mountains are!#if someone told me tomorrow that they found a giant cavern of friendly monsters buried beneath the worn peaks of those old ass mountains#i would believe them#purely based on the stories that come from that nook of the world#oh and ebott is like... barely considered a mountain#cause its unfortunately in ohio#and very very old#FIRST ASK BTW#congrats!!! ๐ take this you'll need it#geeked when i saw the notif pop up ๐ญ#pls feel free to send more in if u so please!!#and anyone else too obviously#i foam at the mouth when i see a new notif pop up (in a good way i swear)#coffee fellswap gold#papyrus fellswap gold#papyrus/original characters#papyrus/reader#fellswap gold#something good#something good asks#there is definitely more to be said in reference to both Wine and the mountain but ill save that for the fic :)#or maybe a diff ask at a later date#i dont wanna oversaturate this one cause if i could i totally would LMAOOO#tldr i think its funny that theyre from ohio#anything happens in ohio
