#i like to make the context that they're playing spin the bottle lol

Ara,,arakat,,,

hello everyone. MAMA'S BACK WITH ANOTHER UNDERTALE VISION 😈😈😈😈😈😈 my mind 🤯 exploded.

haha

for context, do you guys know those compilations on instagram (reels) or whatever media, and it's those ones where people are doing the outrageous shit?

like of people doing dumb stuff yet it's absolutely hilarious, the ones that (usually) are a little bit reckless?

---

say y/n befriended the majority, if not all, of the underground. the way that the monsters know of y/n is usually laidback, respectful. so they're cool, calm, and collected, if you will. the calm before the storm, even. hasn't caused any trouble, is a delight to be around.

also say that they have their own undernet account, courtesy of the royal scientist, alphys. on their account, they friended their other friends; alphys, sans, papyrus, undyne, napstablook, mettaton, even muffet and grillby, as well as the majority of snowdin and such. maybe here, y/n convinced alphys, after a bit of explanations, some negotiations here and there, to update the undernet to include stories (yk like insta stories, assuming they did not have that feature), or not, doesn't really matter, normal posts and stories would give the same result possibly

in this case, i like to think of y/n growing a little antsy of the lack of action and bafoonery that they could do.

so, they begin soft-launching their usual antics, stuff that they did before falling to the underground. not saying that they MISS the surface, other than the night sky, sunrises and sunsets. y/n is quite fond of the small life they had made for themselves in the underground, and wouldn't really trade it for the world. but anyway,

they begin posting on their undernet account. some would describe them as... odd maybe, due to the nature of the photos posted. they start off small, photos of them in shopping carts in the middle of a random parking lot. a picture of a traffic cone with a... firework next to it? that raised a little bit of eyebrows, but it is still rather tame. you guys know those abandoned tunnels that have graffiti and were used for raves nd such? yeah there's a photo of y/n in one of them. maybe with some stupid ass captions like "alright who let grandma out the nursing home" or like something idiotically cryptic like "the truth comes out soon." now THAT has heads turning. replies start spilling in like

"grandma????????" "what truth???" "what are u planning??????" these poor citizens don't know what they're getting into

who knows, maybe y/n got a little ahead of themselves because of impatience. so then they just drop the videos of them doing dumb stuff, because "life's just too short. let's play spin the bottle but whoever the bottle sets on, gets to set off a firework and throw it at their friends who are running away from the one who got picked."

yes, that's the video i saw that generated this idea.

so y/n is basically lore dropping on their unsuspecting monster friends, who are either laughing it up, or very concerned for their good friend's wellbeing (mental and physical) the videos range from that firework fiasco, to other shit like running into a stop sign with their face, racing in shopping carts, just overall some good ol' tomfoolery with their friends above ground. yeah y/n misses their friends dearly, but there wasn't much they could do. they caption the posts with "i would like for everyone to witness the person that i was before i fell down here lol. im aching for shenanigans."

queue the replies of the jokingly "?????????? r u stupid"

the y/n the monsters are now viewing in the posts, are practically a complete 180 from the y/n they encounter on a day-to-day basis. unfathomable, but the proof is in the pudding once they witness whatever y/n has in store. the next post is actually a rather cool photo. a 0.5 pic, flash on, at night, y/n sitting in a shopping cart, left leg over the side, head leaning a little to the right, shades on, blunt in hand, joint between their lips😈

@y/n "excited to make some awesome memories with my new friends❤️ can't wait to infect snowdin with my stupidity and awesomeness"

here come the comments (using names bc im lazy and not that creative)

@CoolSkeleton95: "HUMAN Y/N PLEASE DO BE CAREFUL!!!!"

@StrongFish91: "IM OMW."

some are, admittedly more concerned than others, even grillby, the stoic fireman himself expresses his concern for the near future.

@grillbz: "????? Are you okay??"

and y/n being y/n, only responds with

@y/n replying to @grillbz: "hey hotstuff"

who doesn't love flirtin with the flame man😍 anyway

here comes sans asking questions. c'mon dude, y/n's been living with you for so long, you should've expected SOMETHING to happen one of these days.

@sans: "dude?????"

again, cue y/n shamelessly flirting

@y/n replying to @sans: "hey sexy let's kiss"

now, due to the nature of the videos, they posted more examples, y/n is not an idiot. so what if they fucked up a bit of the surface, it's the surface. what they are NOT going to do, is mess up the underground. y/n is still that respectful human the monsters know and care for. y/n is would not wreak havoc on the unsuspecting citizens of the underground in their own home. no, that's reserved for when they do emerge to the surface. when that happens, BACK TO THE PARKING LOT🗣️

but for now, it's time for y/n to scope out for clear land for their idiotic, yet entertaining ideas.

you know who would be SO on board with y/n's ideas? undyne. miss strongfish91 here would do pop in. without a doubt for sure. it only makes sense. her miss alphys is concerned on the side, head in her hands, hoping that their heads don't go flying off

you know who WOULDN'T?? and is instead rather concerned yet can't really do anything about it so they have to hope and pray? sans. sans may be lazy and carefree for the most part, but that doesn't mean he can't be concerned. he cares too much for y/n, he won't admit it outright, it doesn't seem like he needs to because basically more than half the underground can tell because he's just sweating buckets whenever something even remotely mild happens when involving y/n. sans doing damage control, making sure they don't get horribly injured or dies, he still has that promise to keep.

cmon man, live a little for ur best friend's crush's sake

i feel like papyrus would also join in on the fun, occasionally. he would also be worried for the human's health. like he's mildly concerned about it, but would go with it. he's like that middleman almost. he kind of strikes me as that guy who would first try to sway around, a little hesitant, but will absolutely go all in with just a simple "PLEEEASEEEE???" yeah he's not missing out on the fun at all, papyrus 2024💯💯💯

grillby on the side in his pub, sighing. he's concerned, a bit worried about the results, but would give a chuckle here and there. i love grillby ohmygoodness

more shenanigans ensue. y/n is about to spice things up around here, give them something new.

----

apologies if this is on the illegible side, it's roughly 2:30am and i spent almost an hour on this bc i was focusing on not freezing my ass off 😔 im warm now but at what cost

i think i'll edit this later or add more soon 😫 i have a headache

it would be hilariously awesome to see this as a one-shot. just pure crack and fluff

💋 kisses grillby 💋 kisses sans 💋

OK GOODNIGHT😫 love yall

[strifesolution]

The last chapter was so good!! And since you were talking about the fic's details, I was wondering about the playlist (I am listening to the main one on a daily basis) and I imagine that every songs were carefully chosen. I can guess what some songs mean about 5r6c. Like, From Eden is probably about Eden and Callie. You also mentioned that Genghis Khan is Dan and Wilbur's song.

Would you mind explaining how did you choose these songs and how some of them are related to the fic ?

(If this is too bothersome or would spoil too much of the fic, feel free to ignore the question)

LET’S GOOOO we’re so happy you like the playlist :D you’d be correct, most of the songs are chosen pretty deliberately, though a handful are more just there for the “vibe” of the AU rather than specific lyrics.

Link for anyone who hasn’t seen it; we update pretty often! I added Flu Game last night actually. Expect... a lot of art for this AU with the new Fall Out Boy songs LOL

Since there’s… a lot of songs, and a good amount of them would be kinda spoilery, we’ve both chosen one of our favs and wrote up a little analysis.

Here’s Van’s (@irished-lads) of Neon Moon by Brooks and Dun copied straight from our DM’s

~~~

fun fact, this is one of the songs i listened to on repeat while writing the earlier chapters. this is the ideal chapter 16 song in terms of story and vibe, and while an early 90's country song may have not intended to talk abt the intricacies of gay cowboy polyamory, I Sure Can Make It Do That.

peep the beginning;

There's a rundown bar 'cross the railroad track / I got a table for two way in the back / Where I sit alone, and think of losing you

thinks about kevin and sean having their degrees of feeling alone at this point. sean's always had a little bit of a thing for dan (not to mention kevin flirting with sean nigh all the time- note that kevin's only had to pay for one drink), and while kevin may be. erm. Physically Intimate (this is a pg-13 blog) with dan,he also wants more. its that disconnect that him and dan has that feels a mile long. Now. see the chorus:

Now if you lose your one and only, / There's always room here for the lonely

well hey. look at that. some of the loneliest guys in aurora sitting next to each other in a bar sharing a bottle of whiskey. they're friends, sure, but in that moment (ch 16), they recognize that they both can be more than that. to each other, and to dan. theres always room here for the lonely.

~~~~

And here’s mine (Emma here!) of STRIKE 3 by Ferry

This song is where the lyric in the fic's description comes from; it’s one from the PMV series Parties Are For Losers. You don’t need to watch the series to get the gist of the song (it is really good though!) but within the context of the narrative, the singer is voicing their frustrations as they desperately try to help those they care about who keep putting themselves in harms way. “You spin the barrel of a fully loaded gun” is just a fancy way of saying “STOP BEING RECKLESS!!!” because, y’know, it’d be a literal death sentence to play roulette if the gun is fully loaded...

In terms of 5r6c… well, one of the fics' central themes IS protecting the people you love. Dan continuously worries about what life Daithi and Brian had before this that made them criminals, and Sean and Kevin are protective of Dan, thinking Daithi and Brian are dangerous in arc 1, and suspicious of Spiff in arc 2. Here’s a bit from the first chorus…

"If there's no winning, might as well just have some fun." I want to scream, when will you get it through your skull that I will not let you drown? "The light is gone, the thought keeps running through your mind, but fearing life is easier than fighting, right?" Oh please, just hide behind this back of mine and save your helpless spite.

Which is peak sheriff’s office argument back in chapter 7...

I also really like the first verse relating to Daithi and Brian in the gang.

Channeling love through the fear of being torn apart by crowds of your barbarian peers. The human filth around us wants to trample all that is dear under the guise of watchful reason.

We learn from…pretty much every time one of them brings up Evan that it is NOT a very happy place to be, particularly in Brian’s POV of chapter 9.

Lastly, we have the pre-chorus.

A thousand years ago, it was a tepid autumn day. A lock has sealed this door— But no more.

If you recall in chapter 16, we learn the raid on the farm where Dan’s family died was in the fall (not directly, Dan always visits the bar on the anniversary and Sean makes the connection himself…but anyway)

...this is because ding ding ding of this song!

Unfortunately I can’t really talk about the last chorus and outro without SPOILING EVERYTHING so you’ll just have to guess from there ;>

~~~

Hopefully that's some food for thought! Honestly we COULD go over every song on the playlist but then this ask would be WAY too long. Just really quick: Hell's Comin' With Me is a HUUUUGE full story song but I really can’t say who it's about without giving away everything, Ambrosia Wine is the Kiwo/Mango dynamic, and Devil's Train (not on Spotify but would be on the playlist if it was) is gonna fit really well for the next few chapters!

[emeraldenha]

and it's not like you and sunghoon are star players either

HELPPPPP HUMBLED THEM SO FAST

it coincidentally hits sunghoon right in his back while he's playing on the court adjacent to yours

men 😒 don't cry sunghoon people are dying 😒 Jk do you need help i can hit y/n for you 😘😍

you, on the other hand, was someone known for being very quiet and introverted due to your terrible case of social awkwardness

kinnie moment 😍

not to mention, to add even more fuel to the fire, he'd always make fun of how nobody cared about the girl’s tennis team just to spite you

in his misogynistic era #ICanFixHim 🥀🖤

jay simply raises an eyebrow, “so you won't even try asking your own teammates but you'll ask y/n?”

hoon so down bad

“I want free lunch for each day we practice until the tournament, and keep in mind, I'm on a very specific eating regimen.”

SO THEY'LL HAVE LUNCH TOGETHER 😚

“I can. it was last year two months into the first semester and I won.”

DOWN BAD FOR REAL IS HE COUNTING THE DAYS TOO

you quickly spin on your heel and walk away to do some solo warms up, not noticing sunghoon popping open the cap of the gatorade bottle, unable to suppress a soft smile

SO CUTE I'LL CRY

you invite him out to dinner a couple nights before the tournament, excusing the kind gesture by saying there was a new restaurant opening nearby and you just didn't want to check it out by yourself

DAMN GO Y/N SHE'S DOWN BAD TOO relatable

he gently lays his hand over yours from across the table, “thanks for cheering me up. I know it must be weird to comfort your annoying arch nemesis that you hate.”

THE HAND ?_!$)#)2(2)(# GO AWAY ily

like it's not because you're actually in love with him and have been secretly wanting to get closer???

HSJHSHWHWHWH If you're interested i am hmu 😁

and that's when he realizes two things: one, that his ego has been bruised, and two, that he may have somehow developed a very tiny not so tiny crush on you

FJKSOWU1LWI HE'S SO . I LOVE HIM

but heeseung was an amiable third year in a long term relationship with his girlfriend therefore making him the best option in sunghoon's eyes

it's true i'm the girlfriend 😅☺️

and when you felt bad, you snuck a teddy bear in her locker the next day.”

FUCK HIM HE'S SO CUTE 😭😭😭😭

you hug sunghoon out of excitement and it takes an painstakingly long moment of realization to pull away once you see that you're hugging the life out of him

💞💖💗💞💝💓💘💞💗💕💗💞💖💓💕💝💞

you turn around and it's jungwon, the cute first year that played for a neighboring school

DON'T DO THIS TO ME jelous hoon slaaay 😍

he has a small bouquet of daisies in his hands (where they came from? you have no clue) and peppermint breath spray tucked into his back pocket

NOOOOO HE'S SO CUTE 😭💔😭💔😭💔 i'll give you a chance jungwon

“what?” sunghoon's eyes look like they're about to pop out of their sockets. “but I thought you just turned him down!”

we love himbo hoon 😍❤️

“and if I am?”

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS AND IT'S SO DUMB BUT IT MADE ME REMEMBER when someone once asked jungkook "are you jeon jungkook?" and he replied "and if i am?" THIS IS SO OUT OF CONTEXT AND STUPID but yeah ❤️

and sunghoon thinks that you look so breathtakingly adorable

🤬🖕🤬🖕🤬🖕 hey god it's me again

and a wide grins spreads across your face as you tell him those last three words back

HELLOOOOO I WANT WHAT THEY HAVE WHERE'S THE KISS 💔

I LOVED IT SM IT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T DISAPPOINT ME OMG SORRY IF THE COMMENTARY WAS KINDA DRY BUT IT WAS SO GOOD AND SO CUTE FR TYSM FOR WRITING THIS RI 😭😭😭😭😭😭 ENEMIES TO LOVERS NEVER GETS OLD 😋😋 AND I LOVE YOU SUNGHOON ���️

- 🦕 anon

I love this commentary sm like ty bestie you don’t know how much I appreciate this😭

I cackled reading the ‘in his misogynistic era’ comment lmaooo

but yes, enemies to lovers never gets old and we love two newfound simps trying to chaotically navigate their feelings (more so on sunghoon’s side lol)

also I feel like I keep screwing jungwon over in my fics beside love montage like I’m so sorry my love💔

[mego42]

Hey queen, always love hearing ur thoughts about music so here are some that give me Rio vibes

Win by Nasty cherry

Little bit by Lykke li ( maybe)

Smother by Daughter (maybe more of a Beth song idk)

All the things you said by Poppy

Hush by The Marías ( mad s3 vibes)

Half light by Banners

Hypnotic by Zella Day

Sorry this got long lol

hi! yes! hello! am revoltingly pleased you like hearing said music thoughts bc i love sharing them and please dear god do not apologize for a lengthy list of music ever bc i'm about it.

i love this song, i love this vibe (v montage-able tbh) and for brio/rio? especially love (something about the ecclectic juxtaposition of rio and electro-girl!pop is actual perfection? your mind!) honestly picking a fav/most appropriate lyric is nearly impossible bc they're all so good? but i think it's a tie between the pre-chorus/chorus with: We've played this game twice / I won't play nice / You can’t take me down / Baby, roll the dice / Let fate decide / I'm not losing now and then the third verse: You spin the wheel, I'll throw the knives / Head in a fever, bottles on ice / I tell you secrets, I tell you lies / You think I'm broken on the inside / I need to win / I need to win

oh my goooooood this song. i have listened to it, uh, a lot. there was a period of time when it was a feature on like, every playlist i generated. and again with the vaguely delicate, bouncy indie girl!pop for rio. i love your brain tbh. esp in love with the second verse in this context: And for you I keep my legs apart / And forget about my tainted heart / And I will never ever be the first to say it / But still I, you know I / I would do it / Push a button, pull the trigger, climb a mountain, jump off a cliff / Cause you know baby, I love you, love you a little bit bc honestly!!!!!! also loving the vaguely transactional vibes of the chorus with the i'm a little bit in love with you but only if you're a little bit in love with me

oh god more daughter and this time for beth??? the quiet tragedy of this song in that context makes me feel so! much! stuff! it's such a like, apologetic and guilty song and has this disassociation vibe threaded through it that is so her. like?? thinking about this bit in context with beth sort of quitely falling apart and simultaneously white-knuckle putting on a everything is!!! fine!!!!! face? Where all my layers can become reeds / All my limbs can become trees / All my children can become me / What a mess I leave / To follow i crY!

putting the rest under the read more for the sake of your dashes you're welcome

okay but is this @nickmillerscaulk??????? i love this song, i love this cover, i am OBSESSED with it as a rio song. like, completely unable to get a girl out of your head and losing your whole mind over it? literal canon. this is list is pure genius, tbh.

this song is a VIBE!!! i'm super into the kind of dark, creeping, sexy feel of it. highkey agree to the mad s3 rio vibes assertion, esp: Don't act so special / What I do is not for you / Forget about it / You made this mess / I'll knock at your door / Don't you ignore / Or forget about it

cannot beLIEVE you put this song on this list. blocked and reported. if this song isn't on my main brio list it's def on my playlist for when i need to get real emo about them to write some stuff bc it makes my chest HURT!!! esp this bit: When you're in the half-light / It is not you I see / And you live a half-life / You only show half to me

UGH THIS SONG IS SO EXTREMELY THEM it already lives on my main brio list. i love love love the vibe of it and tbh i think it works for both of them about both of them, but i esp love this bit for rio about beth: You do it to me so well / Hypnotic, takin’ over me / Make me feel like someone else
