"So, to start," Lou said after setting everything up and taking her place near the center of the room, "we'll be viewing videos that explain each of your universes and stories in the quickest, dumbest, memey-est ways possible. 'In a Nutshell,' most of them are called. First up is Undertale: the universe of Undyne, Alphys, Sans, Papyrus, and Flowey. Mostly because they have two parts to their nutshell video."
"WOWIE! OUR UNIVERSE MUST BE INCREDIBLY INTERESTING TO HAVE TWO VIDEOS!" Papyrus exclaimed.
"Or maybe just really, really complicated?" Mina suggested.
"Well, there are three main timelines in the Undertale universe," Lou said. "Pacifist, Neutral, and Genocide. We'll be looking at a Neutral route here, but it covers all the main points of the story. There's another pretty good video that depicts a non-traditional Pacifist route, so we can check that out later if we have the time. With that said –" Lou grinned – "you guys ready?"
"Sure."
"Um, I guess!"
"Hell yeah!"
"NYES!"
"Let's go!"
"Ready!"
"Let's do it!"
And with that, the video began to play in all its absolutely chaotic glory...
(Frisk falls and snaps their legs in half. They scream before suddenly becoming normal again)
"And we're already off to a great start!" Miriam said sarcastically, getting a few laughs around the room.
On the contrary, Papyrus actually cared. "THE POOR HUMAN! ARE THEY ALRIGHT?"
"'course they are, paps," Sans said. "see? they're already back on their feet."
"OH."
Flowey: Oh hi!
(Frisk screams)
Frisk: A talking flower!
"Really? No way," Flowey sneered. "Not like that's super obvious. Idiot..."
"leave the kid alone, flowey," Sans said. "they aren't actually here, anyway."
Flowey growled. "Stupid smiley trashbag..."
For no reason, Lou threw a LEGENDARY UNO REVERSE CARD at the flower. "No, you."
"Agh, what the hell?" he screamed at the Author.
Lou simply smirked before fist-bumping Sans.
Toriel: Hello, child.
(Frisk screams)
Frisk: A talking goat!
(Toriel bitch-slaps Frisk)
Toriel: Take it easy! Come with me, you'll be safe.
"Oh, my!" Iida exclaimed.
"Oof," Denki muttered.
"Talk about slapping someone into next week," Stewie joked.
"or, rather," Sans suggested, "slapping some sense into them."
"Rip," Lou said, though they had viewed the video numerous times before in preparation for this reaction.
Toriel: Here talk to the dummy.
Frisk: Hi!
(dummy yeets away)
Peter laughed the Peter laugh. "Reminds me of Meg. Y'know, people avoiding her."
"Okay, that's it. Leave her alone, you bastard," Lou snapped. "She's just trying to live her own life. Just because you seem to think she's ugly and a failure doesn't mean you can constantly berate her for existing."
"Woah," Brian said. "Okay."
Monika leaned over and whispered to Meg. "People... think you're ugly?"
Meg sighed, resting her head in her hands. "Yeah."
"How come? I don't see it."
Meg went red. "O-oh! You... think I'm...I-I'm..."
Monika smiled. "Pretty? I guess I do."
*Meg's self-esteem has increased by 100,000%*
*Meg's blush has increased by 100,000,000%*
*Todoroki Shoto has been temporarily removed from Meg's simp list*
*Meg's straightness has been called into question*
...
*AGAIN*
*Looking at you, season 4, episode 19*
Toriel: Okay, stay here, I'll come back for you sometime.
(6 ½ Hours Later...)
(EPIC INTRO)
The Bakusquad and most of the Undertale crew were absolutely vibing to the Shop Music Trap Remix. "Bro, why does it slap so hard?" Kiri asked.
"Because it's literally the perfect remix," Lou said.
"can't disagree," Sans said, still vibing.
(Frisk faceplants with 11,037 injuries of varying degree in front of Toriel's house)
Toriel: Oh you surv– I mean... I already wanted to come back for you already. Well, let's go back to the house...
Frisk: (yeeted in a bedroom with pie, comes out) How do I get out of here?
Toriel: Do you want to hear about snails?
"Uh, no," Mei said.
"Please," Kaminari said, "not the snails–"
Frisk: How do I get out of here?
Toriel: A snail is, in loose terms, a shelled gastropod–
Frisk: How do I get out of here?
Toriel: The name is most often applied for land snails–
Frisk: How do I get out of here?
Toriel: Terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks–
"Nobody asked, mo - T-Toriel," Flowey muttered.
Frisk: HOW DO I GET OUT OF HERE?
Toriel: (T R I G G E R E D)
A few people laughed. "Her smiling face makes it that much better," Uraraka declared.
"She looks dead inside," Priya added.
Toriel: Wait for me here...
(to the basement...)
Toriel: I won't let you get out of here. I don't want you to die!
"That's great, but we want to see some adventure into the unknown!" Miriam said.
"OH, HECK YEAH!" Ashido threw in.
Priya nodded. "Let's go."
"Yeah!" Mei exclaimed.
"ADVENTURE!" Abby shouted.
Frisk: Let me out
Toriel: Not let
Frisk: Let me out
Toriel: Not let
Frisk: Let me out
Toriel: Not let
Frisk: Let me out
Toriel: Not let
Frisk: Let me out
Toriel: Not let
"Damn, how much longer are they gonna keep doing this?" Bakugo asked.
Frisk: Let me out
Toriel: Okay...
"Oh."
"Not much longer, I guess," Chris remarked.
Bakugo was visibly irked by that comment, but didn't freak out, at least.
(Suddenly, Snowdin forest)
Sans: Human. Don't you know how to greet a new pal? Turn around and shake my hand. (fard) The old whoopee cushion in the hand trick.
Peter, being the child he is, completely lost it.
Frisk: Yes... whoopee cushion...
"uh," from Sans. "...okay."
Sans: Oops! Now will come my brother. Quickly for that lamp!
Frisk: ...In the lamp is not exactly immured another child?
"...Wait, seriously, is there a child inside that lamp?" Monika asked, very concerned.
"'course not," Sans said carelessly.
"That wasn't very convincing," Aizawa added.
Sans: Haha! D o n ' t a s k t o o m a n y q u e s t i o n s .
"DEFINITELY not convincing," Sero said.
(Skelebros spinning)
Papyrus: Wow! What is it there?
Sans: I think it's a stone.
Papyrus: Wow! A stone looks like a child!
"I- bro," Undyne sighed.
"Bruh," Denki said, reacting similarly.
Frisk: B R U H .
"What are the odds?" Lou muttered to herself.
Papyrus: Pass my trap!
*Frisk passes the trap*
Papyrus: How did you do it?!
Frisk: I just followed your footsteps--
"SO THAT'S HOW THE HUMAN DID IT?" Papyrus exclaimed. "INCREDIBLE! SUCH A SIMPLE TRICK I SO EASILY OVERLOOKED! I'M IMPRESSED!"
"R-really? I'd expect y-you to be frustrated f-for missing that," Alphys said.
"Hey, Papyrus doesn't seem like the kind of person to get worked up over a small mistake," Deku remarked.
"EXACTLY, HUMAN!" Papyrus said. "THE GREAT PAPYRUS SELDOM DWELLS ON HIS PAST BITTERLY. HE LEARNS FROM HIS MISTAKES!"
"I'm trying to do the same thing!" Deku agreed.
"D'aww, so wholesome UwU!" Lou said.
Monika looked at the Kidney Bean in concern. "Did you actually just say the word 'UwU' out loud?"
"Ironically, but yes, yes I did UvO."
"Okay, please stop, it's getting scary."
"...OnO. QnQ. TnT."
Papyrus: You're a genius!
(Jump-cut to Papyrus fight)
Papyrus: Fight me!
Sans' eyesockets went dark. Lou leaned over and whispered to him, "It's the neutral ending, but Frisk doesn't actually kill anyone. 'Kay?"
He sighed, eyes slowly fading back to normal. "ok."
Frisk: (standing during blue attack) Wow! It's so dangerous...
"Wait, what?" Iida said, confused. "Could someone please explain this?"
"In Undertale," Lou clarified, "monsters fight with magic attacks. You've got your normal attacks, and then you have blue and orange, which have unique properties. Blue attacks don't hurt you unless you move, and orange ones don't hurt you unless you stay still. Stop when it's blue, move around when it's orange. Make sense?"
"Ah, it does. Thank you, Lou."
Papyrus: Ha! Gotcha!!
(Frisk's soul turns blue before Papyrus beats the shit outta them with bones and an Annoying Doggo)
"Woah, Papyrus," Undyne said in disbelief. "Those are some pretty impressive attacks!"
"NYEH! THANK YOU, UNDYNE!"
"heh. pap, you're so cool," Sans said.
"Wow. Slay, I guess," Mina said, awestruck.
Todoroki smirked. "Literally."
Papyrus: Well, you lost, let's go to jail.
Frisk: I give up!
Papyrus: Will you be my bro?
Frisk: Yes.
Papyrus: Let's go on a date?
Frisk: (smirks) ...Let's go.
Peter laughed his Peter laugh.
"Uh, that smile is concerning me," Lois said.
"Yeah, same," Lou said. "It gets worse in the second part."
Lois furrowed her brows. "How so?"
"Mettaton EX." Before anyone else could comment, Lou added, "You'll see later."
(In Waterfall)
???: Undyne sucks!
Undyne looked slightly irked. "Hey, punk, whoever you are, what the hell?"
"WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT? UNDYNE IS VERY GREAT! Perhaps not quite as great as I," Papyrus muttered, "BUT STILL!"
Undyne: What did you say?!
Frisk: Phew, I think she's gone
MK: (sneaking out from the bushes) Undyne is cool, right?
"WOAH, WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?" Abby exclaimed.
(Frisk screams again)
Undyne: (throws a spear at Frisk from the shadows) Now you're not going anywhere!
(Frisk screams again again and yeets away)
Undyne: That's it!
(the floor fucking breaks because spears)
"Ouch," Deku said with a wince.
"UNDYNE, YOU FORCED FRISK TO FALL FROM SUCH A GREAT HEIGHT? THEY COULD HAVE DIED!" Papyrus exclaimed.
"I know! I know," Undyne said, sighing. "I didn't think that far ahead at the time."
"You probably should have before endangering a child," Aizawa muttered.
Brian dryly chuckled. "You've got a point there, um... Aizawa, right?"
Aizawa offered a handshake, which Brian quickly accepted. "Call me Shota."
"Brian," Brian said with a grin, tail wagging. "Pleasure to meet you formally."
"Ooh, new BROTP?" Lou said. "Will this blossoming friendship create a better pair of bros than Brian and Stewie?"
"Oh, hell no," Stewie hissed.
Frisk: You could have just grabbed me!
(the entire world facepalming)
Everybody in the reaction room, including Undyne, facepalmed.
Frisk, looking through the dump: Oh cool! The food of astronauts!
Dummy: I will destroy you!
"Oh no," Denki said melodramatically, "the same dummy from that purple maze place has come back seeking revenge for this fetus's horrible social skills!" Half the room lost it.
"it's called the ruins, kid," Sans said.
"Oh. STILL."
"It's also not the same dummy," Lou added.
"IT'S NOT? SERIOUSLY?" Denki exclaimed.
Bakugo narrowed his eyes. "It has to be. I call bullshit."
"This dummy is the first dummy's cousin," Lou said. "They're pissed at Frisk because... um..." Lou pulled out her phone and looked it up on the Undertale Wiki. "Never mind, it depends on what Frisk did in the Ruins. Varies from route to route."
Dummy: Acid rain! Retreat!
Napstablook: Oh no... I mess up everything.... I'm sorry.....
"NO, DON'T BE SAD, NEW GHOST FRIEND!" Papyrus exclaimed.
"Yeah, you saved the kid's butt right there," Miriam agreed.
"Wait, ghosts cry acid?" Priya asked. "That's kinda--"
"AWESOME!" Abby exclaimed. "IT'S AWESOME, PRIYA!"
"...'Kay, sure."
Frisk: Hey! What happened?
(Jump-cut to Undyne fight)
Undyne: If you cross that line, you will die!
"isn't that my line?" Sans said.
"I guess, kind of," Lou agreed. "Except you gave Frisk a bad time."
"I DON'T RECALL HEARING YOU EVER SAY ANYTHING LIKE THIS, BROTHER," Papyrus remarked. "IS THERE SOMETHING I MISSED?"
"don't worry 'bout it, paps."
(Frisk steps over said line and gets their kneecap speared off before screaming)
"Oh, God!"
"OOF!"
"SHEESH!"
"Haha, rip."
"This is painful to watch!"
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"Jeez!"
"UNDYNE, WHAT THE FUCK?"
"I NEVER ACTUALLY DID THIS, WHATEVER-YOUR-NAME-IS!"
"U-Undyne, I'm pretty sure his name is Bakugo..."
(Tomorrow...)
Undyne: (faceplants on bridge bc hawt)
Frisk: (throws a splash potion of water on Undyne, Minecraft style)
"Minecraft!" the entire Bakusquad exclaimed.
"Haha, yes," from Lou.
Undyne: (stands up, walks away)
(Frisk gets a call from Papyrus)
Papyrus: Let's go hang out with Undyne?
"After she just tried to kill you twice?" Lois said.
Aizawa shook his head. "No way."
"Yeah, I can't imagine they'll say 'yes,'" Mei remarked.
Frisk: Okay. (Papy pulls them out of the frame)
Mei sighed. "...And I stand corrected." Priya, Miriam, and Abby all laughed.
(Jump to Undyne's house)
Papyrus: We're having a great time, but I have to go out the window! (sounds of glass breaking)
"Well, that was interesting," Monika said.
"Did he just jump out the window?" Peter asked.
"YES, HUMAN. YES, I DID!"
Undyne: So little brats, I hate you get out of here--
Frisk: You're cool, let's go cook.
Undyne: Let's go!
"Making Friends: 101," Uraraka joked.
"I wish it were that easy," Lou said sarcastically.
"What do you mean?" Midoriya asked, concerned.
"Let's be real; none of you trust me yet," she explained, "especially after I deadass kidnapped you. It's cool; I just don't have any friends in this dimension right now."
Deku smiled. "Well... you have me."
"Jesus, talk about cliché," Lou remarked with a disbelieving smirk.
"I'm serious! I know what it's like to be alone," he said, "and I don't believe anyone deserves to feel that way. You're a kind and creative person, Lou-san. As long as you feel the same way, I'll consider you a friend."
Lou laughed. "Okay, yeah. The feeling is mutual." Internally, she was thrilled. Lou had made friends with the future #1 hero, Midoriya Izuku him-fucking-self. To have an anime protagonist as their best friend – especially THIS protagonist – was almost a dream of Lou's, and having it happen in real life was amazing. Anyway, enough about their stupidly wholesome friendship arc, back to the crack vids:
(Cooking lesson...)
Undyne: Stir the spaghetti! Faster! Faster! Faster! Wrong! Give it to me! (screaming, explosion) Finally, some good f*****g food.
Flowey sighed. "I'm not surprised by these idiots."
"I do not know if I would call that cooking, but..." Iida trailed off.
"I have several questions," Sero said blankly.
"As do I," Stewie added.
"Which is why we're watching part two," Lou said. "Let's go!"
And so, the second video began...
(In Hotland...)
Frisk: *sneezes* Well, let's go.
(Enters Alphys' lab)
Frisk: Where am I? Oh no. This is anime-con?
Alphys: No, this is my house.
Frisk: Even worse. Lisa Simpson?
"N-No! It's me! Alphys!" Alphys said.
Sans wheezed. "lisa simpson?"
"Not Lisa!" Chris laughed.
Alphys: Alphys. I've been following you for a long time.
Frisk: This is creep.
"Yeah, very," Meg quietly agreed.
"H-hey!" Alphys shouted.
Alphys: That's why I want to help you.
Frisk: How?
Alphys: First I'll give you a normal phone (yeets phone)
"Imagine it actually being a normal phone," Mina said.
Frisk: And what kind of phone is this?
Alphys: This is a Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
(Explosion)
"CALLED IT!"
MTT: (falling out of the sky) Hi beauties. I want to throw a murder party.
"METTATON! HE'S SO COOL!" Papyrus fangirled.
"not as cool as you, paps," Sans said.
"NYEH!"
Frisk: Cool call the code of the room (?)
Alphys: I'll help you--
Frisk: Don't. I'll do it myself.
"Ooh, that's cold," Monika said with a shudder.
"I-I don't recall Frisk being th-that unfriendly when we f-first met," Alphys said.
"They weren't," Lou clarified, "it's for the sake of the joke. You've gotta admit, all the calls and posts got pretty annoying after about two minutes."
"Hey," Undyne warned. "Watch what you're saying about--"
"I-it's true, though," Alphys said sheepishly. "Thanks f-for defending me a-anyway, Undyne!"
"Oh." Undyne blushed. "Of course, Alph."
(Question pops up)
Frisk: ...ok help me.
"Yeah, good call," Mir remarked.
(Endless notification sounds as frisk walks through Hotland)
Frisk: Just ignore Alphys... Just ignore Alphys...
(EPIC INTRO)
The same people were vibing once again. "THIS ONE'S EVEN BETTER THAN THE FIRST!" Kirishima said.
"DON'T KNOW HOW, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT!" Kaminari agreed.
"RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE; IT'S JUST AS AMAZING," Ashido said.
MTT: (as notification sounds continue) Hello, dear, welcome to my great cooking show!
Frisk: Cool, what are we cooking?
MTT: (pulling out a chainsaw) Y O U .
"Oh shit," Kirishima muttered.
Stewie's eyes lit up. Blood? Gore? Yes.
Frisk: My meat is not kosher.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Flowey asked.
"Well, you've gotta pay attention to your demographic," Peter said matter-of-factly. "If you have a Jewish audience watching – even a small one – it's important to be considerate of their culture and law, and implement it properly into your program. This being a cooking show, you specifically need to take into account what cultures are fine eating what foods, how much of your audience is made up of each group, and form-fit your content accordingly."
"That's... the last thing I expected to hear from you, Peter," Brian said, sort of impressed.
"Yeah, I was waiting for the insensitive joke I'd have to blurt out," Lou added.
Peter laughed in a very high-class-esc voice. Nobody knew how to take that.
MTT: (dropping chainsaw)
"Damn," Stewie muttered, disappointed at the promise of homicide and guts being so quickly ripped from his grasp.
MTT: I knew that the broadcast in the Arab countries was a mistake...
"Oh, well that explains that," Lois said, referring to Peter's out-of-place speech on cultural implication in the media.
MTT: Nothing! There is a meat substitute but first you need to get it. (flies away)
Frisk: Okay, have fun.
"They gave up, just like that," Monika muttered.
"I honestly would have done the same thing," Todoroki said. Aizawa nodded in silent agreement while Sans, who also felt similarly, just shrugged.
(LOCATION SWITCH~!)
Frisk: Is this a spider den?
Muffet: Yes, and since you have come to us, we will make cakes out of you!
"Why are so many people trying to kill this kid?" Miriam asked.
"Why is everyone in this video trying to eat them?" Priya muttered.
"The monsters need one more human soul to break the Barrier and go back to the Surface from the Underground," Lou said, filling everyone in. "You would have learned that about four minutes from now anyway."
"That's a bit morbid," Mei muttered.
Alphys adjusted her glasses. "We d-didn't really have a ch-choice."
"king's orders," Sans elaborated. "and even if he hadn't required every human that fell down to be sacrificed to break the barrier, there are people who would have done it anyway. we were sick of being trapped down there."
"What were you planning to do once you got out?" Chris asked.
"Wipe out the human race as vengeance for what they did to us," Undyne answered curtly.
There was a pause of cold silence. Lou was terrified she'd need to do something before a conflict arose, but then... Stewie happened.
"Oh my God, same!" he said, lightening the mood. "Humans are so annoying; that's why I have quite the 'little list' of people I plan to kill as Ruler of the World."
Sans chuckled. "sure you do, kiddo."
"He's serious; don't test him," Brian muttered darkly.
Frisk: Okay I feel there will be a boss battle. I need a snack– (noms on spider cookie)
Muffet: What is this? Baking of our production?
Frisk: Yes. Probably.
Muffet: Wow! Then, we will let such a generous person pass.
"So, I guess the big takeaway here is that you can solve any conflict by willingly eating food made by the other person," Mei said.
"Now we just have to pray Bakugo starts baking things," Mina muttered to herself, making Uraraka, Kaminari, and Izuku laugh. Even Aizawa cracked a smile.
"Shut up, Raccoon Eyes!"
Frisk: And by the way... what is the filling?
Muffet: Spiders!
(Frisk.exe has stopped responding)
Everyone gagged in disgust or stared in horror at the innocent little spider cookie onscreen.
Frisk: Oh, hi Sans.
Sans: Hi, do you want a hot dog?
"Please, God, yes," Stewie said. "Anything after the spiders."
Frisk: I'm not hungry. I will never be hungry again.
Sans shrugged, still shaken by the spiders. "eh, that's fair."
Sans: Don't be afraid. I'll give you a takeaway.
Frisk: (with hotdogs/hotcats stacked endlessly on top of their head) I feel it's not good.
"How are they even balancing that many on their head?" Miriam asked.
"...magic," Sans answered, his left eye briefly flickering blue.
Mir jumped. "Woah, that was... terrifying but awesome."
"Just like the first time we saw Mei's panda!" Abby remarked. The girls laughed, remembering the scene fondly.
"We'll get there eventually," Lou said before anyone else could ask.
MTT: (on the stage) Oh, Romeo, come up to me~!
"I- what," Brian muttered in angry thespian.
"Not sure I remember there ever being a robot in Romeo and Juliet," Lois said.
Lou almost spoke up about how they didn't condone robophobia in the reaction room, and that Mettaton could still play the role, but didn't want everyone to think she was insane.
Frisk: You'd better come down.
MTT: No, you get up.
Frisk: No, you go down!
MTT: Then you will come down.
Frisk: What.
(trapdoor to puzzle dungeon hell happens)
"This... doesn't look good," Abby said
MTT: (flying in) You probably remember this trap from Snowdin which the author skipped in the last animation.
"OH MY GOD, THEY DID SKIP MY TILE PUZZLE IN SNOWDIN!" Papyrus exclaimed.
"Don't take it personally," Deku reassured him. "I'm sure the animator has a reason for doing so."
"Animation is hard. I do digital art; I tried to do an animatic one time," Mina said, "and never again. My fingers still ache from the memories."
"They probably just wanted to get the content made as quickly as possible," Lou suggested. "Or maybe they deliberately skipped it in the last video just to make this joke."
"NYEH... PERHAPS YOU'RE RIGHT. THANK YOU, HUMANS, FOR YOUR KINDNESS!"
Frisk: Yes.
MTT: Parcel done.
(Frisk gets stuck in puzzle)
MTT: Your time's up. Now you will D I E .
(Samsung ringtone)
A few people laughed at the sheer presence of one of the most meme-d ringtones in existence, second only to WhatsApp's.
Frisk: (picks up phone) WHAT?
Alphys: Your phone can turn into a gun.
"Wait, what," Denki said.
"How would that even work...?" Lois questioned curiously.
"I-it's actually surprisingly s-simple," Alphys said, "but it w-would take me a while to explain."
(Frisk turns their phone into a gun and shooty-shoots Mettaton)
MTT: Oh no. I am dying. How cruel is life... ahahahahahahahaha...
Frisk: (jumping locations) Oh the hotel... Oh the power plant...
"P-power plant?" Alphys asked. "It's c-called the Core."
"Not important enough to the lore," Lou said. "Author made a joke out of it."
"...actually th-that's fair."
Frisk: Oh Mettaton.
MTT: Hi dear~! I want to tell you a terrible secret.
Frisk: My gender?
Most of the Undertale cast quietly laughed, confusing everyone. "HUMAN FRISK IS INTERSEX, NONBINARY," Papyrus explained.
"most of the time they were in the underground, we didn't know," Sans continued. "so, we ended up using gender neutral pronouns when referring to them and ended up being right."
Alphys nodded. "Th-that's the joke here. Nothing offensive o-or mean."
"COOL!" Abby said (see also: SCREAMED).
"We stan," from Mina.
MTT: Alphys set up all the traps and persuaded me to interfere in order to become at least somehow important for the plot.
"WOAH, THAT'S PLOT TWIST AND A HALF," Sero exclaimed.
"Oh my garsh," Lou said, fully aware of this plot point, having played the game several times.
"I wasn't expecting that from Alphys of all people," Meg said.
"Me, neither," Monika said.
Frisk: I understand.
MTT: But now I want to become important for the plot and now we will arrange a real boss battle!
Frisk: You don't have to--
MTT: You do have to.
"Well, this can't be good," Todoroki muttered.
"Yeah, no, it can't," Deku awkwardly agreed.
(Frisk's phone rings, they pick up)
Frisk: Alphys, you f*** up.
Alphys nervously laughed. "I m-mean, they're not wr-wrong..."
Undyne sighed. "Alph, nobody's perfect. The past is the past."
"What I-I did still i-isn't right," Alphys spoke up, her voice breaking. "I-I was stupid. S-so stupid and naïve."
"But now you've learned from it," Papyrus said surprisingly softly. "Mistakes are a part of life; you're bound to make more than a few. Sometimes, mistakes are... hard to get over. You feel as if you've gone too far to deserve forgiveness." Alphys nodded at his statement. "You haven't. Everyone deserves another chance; you just have to believe in yourself!"
Alphys smiled, tears gradually flowing down her cheeks. "Th-thank you, P-Papyrus..."
Lou sniffled. "Such fluffy wholesome content," they whispered. "This is why I created this reaction/encounter/whatever you wanna call it. I'm gonna fucking cry, and I love it."
Flowey gave the Kidney Bean Creator an odd look.
Alphys: In the form of a robot, he is not vulnerable. Press the lever to change his form so you can–
Frisk: Your shoelaces are untied on your back.
Bakugo scoffed. "What kind of dumbass would actually fall for–?"
MTT: Thanks, I didn't notice. (flips the switch)
"...are you fucking kidding me."
"Language, Bakugo."
"Sorry, Sensei."
MTT: But it's tricky. But now you're a dead.
(Explosion)
MTT-EX: OHHHHHH YYEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS~~
Frisk: Oh my, what legs.
MTT-EX: Thank you dear, but now you will feel all their power on your face.
Peter did the Peter laugh.
"Uh," Undyne uttered.
"That's a bit..." Brian trailed off.
"Horny," Ashido moaned in a CupcakKe impression.
Frisk: (smirks) Oh my...
MTT-EX: In front of the audience of my show.
Frisk: OH MY–
"Definitely horny," Kaminari muttered.
"Told ya," Ashido said with a wink.
(Jump cut to the skelebros watching this at home)
Papyrus: Sans, why does a human behave so strangely?
Peter laughed again. "Isn't it obvious? It's 'cause they're—"
"Peter, no," Lou said. "Innocent beans in the room." Everyone gave Lou doubtful looks, understandably.
Undyne lightly scoffed. "Like who?"
"Stewie, Papyrus, and Abby, for one," Lou said.
"Innocent? Whatever do you mean? I'm an evil mastermind, you moronic heathen!"
"...actually, that's pretty accurate. I'm not even denying it. Baby of the group!" Abby made a peace sign with her right hand.
"THE GREAT PAPYRUS ISN'T INNOCENT! HE'S VERY COOL!"
Sans: It's too early for you to know about this.
(cut back to the fight)
MTT-EX: Even after all my punches, he remains magnificent... (punches Frisk) Impossible.
Frisk: And now the final blow with the phone.
MTT-EX: The ratings are off the scale– (gets hit in the face with Frisk's phone and explodes)
"yes, because that's how physics works," Sans said.
Alphys: (rushing in) Oh no, Mettaton... don't be afraid he's a robot I'll fix him– (Frisk disappears) Human?
Frisk: (walking through New Home)
Froggits: We tell a sad story about how the king lost two of his children because of people.
"I'm a bit curious; what's the full story?" Aizawa asked.
Lou quickly reiterated said story, short and compressed: "In essence, the King's adopted human child, Chara, poisoned themselves with buttercups to let his biological son, Asriel, absorb their soul, go to the surface, and get the rest of the human souls the monsters needed to escape the Underground. The people fought back, but Asriel refused to hurt them, backed out of the original plan midway, and ended up killing them both." Everyone was shaken by the story, even the Undertale crew, who weren't completely aware of the true plan involved in Chara's death.
"Oh, that's depressing," Priya said.
"My condolences for the King and Queen," Lois said, several others murmuring in agreement.
Flowey, meanwhile, covered his face with his petals. Nobody noticed.
Besides Lou, of course.
Regardless, the reaction continued:
(Judgement Hall)
Frisk: The church.
Sans: Well, hello, I will judge you. For your sins.
Frisk: Okay, I'm sorry for sucking face your brother—
Sans covered his brother's... ears...? – his face turning dark. "excuse me, what the fuck?"
"More crack jokes," Lou said before Sans killed someone. "All crack. All jokes. Not true."
The shorter skeleton sighed, taking his phalanges off of Papyrus' skull, and slumping back into a comfortable position, albeit a bit forced.
Sans: W H A T .
Frisk: What?
Sans: Well, were you a good... boy or... ugly girl?
"uh, neither," Sans said. "don't assume, video me."
Frisk: A giraffe.
Sans: A giraffe?
"A giraffe?" The entire room asked at once.
Frisk: Forget it.
Sans: Well done, you didn't kill anyone.
Frisk: Should I have?
"no," Sans said coldly.
"Killing people is not okay," Deku said.
"Of course it's not, Deku-kun!" Ochako agreed.
"No," Lou said through gritted teeth, glaring at Flowey, Monika, Stewie, and Peter. "No, it's not."
"Wait, what the hell did I do?" Peter asked.
"Your fights with that chicken cost random bystanders their lives. Hundreds, if not thousands," Lou said. "Not to mention the children's hospital you blew up, the kids you killed as Mary Poppins, the people you ran over with your car–"
"Hey, most of those were cutaways! Y'know, like that time I—"
"WE DON'T HAVE TIME, MOVING ON."
Sans: And I'm letting you through.
Frisk: Thank you–
Sans: Just don't show your fetishes in public anymore.
"It's not like they should be doing that normally anyway," Chris said.
"That's true," Sero agreed.
Frisk: ...okay.
Frisk, in a coffin: Oh, what a comfortable coffin.
Frisk, entering the throne room: Here, what?
Asgore: Oh, hi, would you like to have some tea? Come with me.
"Wait, isn't this guy supposed to be killing the kid?" Miriam pointed out.
"I think so," Mei said.
Stewie's eyes lit up once more. Yet another promise of gore he'd promptly forgotten. Now he was excited.
Frisk: Didn't you want to kill me?
Asgore: Yes.
"...I'm sorry, what?" Monika asked.
"The hell...?" Bakugo muttered.
Frisk: Your invitation more like is not to a killer a to--
Asgore: Well, well, well, follow me. It's a barrier, it keeps us here, and to break it, I need to take your soul. If you still have things to do, then you can come back to finish them.
Frisk: No, I think I went on a date with everyone... but unless you want to.
"WOAH, BACK THE HELL UP. AGE DIFFERENCE!" Undyne exclaimed.
"Yeah, jeez," Brian said. "A kid and an adult –"
"KING ASGORE IS ACTUALLY HUNDREDS OF YEARS OLD," Papyrus interjected. "MUCH OLDER THAN ANY ADULT HUMAN."
Brian's face paled. "What the hell...?"
Asgore: No.
Frisk: Well done; it was a test.
Asgore: Um.
Frisk: And now let's start the act of beating the child.
"YES," Stewie whisper-yelled.
A few people in the room inexplicably wheezed.
"Yeetus the fetus," Lou remarked, increasing the laughter tenfold.
Asgore: Don't complicate my work.
Frisk: Okay.
Asgore: And by the way, I forbid you to spare me.
Frisk: Okay. (slaps Asgore)
Jaws dropped and gasps echoed around the room.
"SLAY," Abby shouted.
"GIRLBOSS," Mina also shouted.
"POP. OFF. QUEEN," Mei shouted as well, picking up some Gen-Z slang. "OR KING."
"WE NEED A GENDER-NEUTRAL TERM," Iida stated.
"RULER," Kirishima suggested.
"MY LIEGE," Undyne said.
"YOUR HIGHNESS," Monika said.
"ESTEEMED SOVEREIGN?" Lou added, unleashing her inner Act-1-Yuri-kinnie.
Kiri pointed to her. "YEAH, THAT. IT SOUNDS FANCIEST."
Asgore: (Sr Pelo crying) Okay I did underestimated you. I won't try to kill you anymore. Will you forgive me?
Frisk: It depends on what you give.
Asgore: Since you can't get out, let's become a family.
Ashido smiled. "D'aww, just like Goat Mom!"
"They're actually divorced," Lou said. "Toriel was the queen for a while."
"Oh."
"Small world," Peter said.
"This actually explains quite a lot," Aizawa remarked.
Lou's eyes narrowed. "Like... what...?"
"Well, for one, who the king raised his two children with."
"...Yeah, okay."
Asgore: It will be gre-- (gets fucking killed by a 'Friendliness Pellet')
More gasps, exclamations, shrieks, and general freaking out.
"GOAT DAD, NO!" Ashido cried.
"WAIT, WAS IT THE DAMN FLOWER?" Bakugo shouted.
Flowey maniacally laughed.
"WAIT, FLOWERY MURDERED KING ASGORE?!?!?!?!" Papyrus exclaimed.
"WHAT THE HELL, BRO?" Kirishima shrieked.
"WHY DID YOU HAVE TO KILL HIM?" Meg asked.
Flowey just kept laughing like a soulless maniac. Sans managed to suppress the urge to backhand the serial murderer of a flower (if you get what I'm saying... *audible wink*).
Frisk: (ala Darth Vader) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Normal, to Flowey) Why did you robbed me of my chance to get into the family of real furries?
"Real furries?" Flowey asked.
Flowey: The real ones?
Frisk: In short, F*** YOU.
Flowey: Well. Well. Well. But you go f*** yourself. I swallowed the other six souls while you were chatting here, and now it's time to transform! Human souls power, make up!
Alphys and Undyne simultaneously gasped in weeb. "SAILOR MOON!"
"Wait... OH MY GOD IT IS A SAILOR MOON REFERENCE!" Ochako exclaimed. Mina squealed excitedly.
Lou, who had never managed to make it past the first two episodes of Sailor Moon and was instead reading the manga, inexplicably started humming the theme song. Meanwhile, across the room, Todoroki silently smiled, eyes sparkling at the subtle reference. Lou noticed, but she chose not to say anything.
(Another explosion)
Everyone was at the very least alarmed by the appearance of Omega Flowey. Except Lou. And... well, Flowey.
Omega Flowey: (laughs) Now you can't beat me. I control everything. And even your computer. I have access to all your files.
(cutaway shows OF opening a 'Homework' folder)
Peter lost it once again. As did most of the Bakusquad. And also Chris.
Omega Flowey: I wish I hadn't.
Frisk: Don't touch my collection!
"what the hell is wrong with the kid in this timeline?" Sans muttered, stifling a laugh.
Omega Flowey: Hit him, guys!
(Six souls attack Frisk's soul, they manage to dodge the souls' attacks)
Frisk: Hey guys and girls, what the f*** are you doing. Beat the flower, he's your enemy.
"What, the sentient flower who stole your souls and forced you to attack a random child? Your enemy? No," Mei said sarcastically.
"Nuh-uh," Denki concurred. "No. Way."
Bravery soul: Wait really?
Perseverance soul: It makes sense.
Justice soul: Let's f*** the flower, guys.
"No context," Priya muttered, getting a laugh from both Monika and Lois, of all people.
Omega Flowey, as the souls beat the shit out of him: Why the f*** am I all of a sudden--?
(Flowey goes back to normal, gets squashed by Frisk when they fall on top of him)
"heh. see ya, weed," Sans muttered.
"Oh, fuck you, too, Smiley Trashbag," Flowey hissed.
Frisk: It's time to return to your dull life.
(Frisk leaves the Underground and goes home)
Frisk: Mom, Dad, I'm back.
Frisk's mom: (enters as a literal giraffe) Oh my god, honey, where have you been?
"A GIRAFFE!"
"WAIT, WHAT?"
"SO, THE HUMAN ACTUALLY IS A GIRAFFE?"
"WHAT THE FUCK."
"BIPPITY BOPPITY BACK UP–"
"BRO, WHAT?"
"HOLY SHIT."
"OH MY GOD, NO."
"OH MY GOD, YES."
"UH, PLUS ULTRA, I GUESS."
"SLAY WHAT YOU WANNA SLAY!"
"I'M SO CONFUSED."
"Okay!" Lou said cheerfully, stark contrasting the rest of the room's confusion. "Let's move on to Doki Doki Literature Club's video! That's Monika's universe, to clarify."
"WAIT A DAMN MINUTE, I STILL NEED TO KNOW–"
"Too bad, we're starting!"
And so, the third video presenting the second universe began to play...
Sayori: Hi! My name is Sayori, and I'm your childhood best friend!
Monika's eyes narrowed, glimmering with jealousy.
Sayori: Also, MeMoji has no bows. So, I had to Photoshop this one on. And now I look ridiculous. But anyway, what club are you thinking of joining at school today, Protagonist?
MC: UHHHHHHHH I wanna join... a club... that has to do with... waifu boobs...?
"Oh, great," Stewie muttered, "another horny protagonist. Though now considerably more sexist and objectifying."
"I don't ever remember MC being that... that, um... yeah," Monika awkwardly said.
"Maybe not MC, but a bunch of the players who controlled him were," Lou explained. "Oh yeah! Everyone else: DDLC is a cutesy anime dating sim; a totally normal visual novel. But, for some reason, the STEAM store lists it in some... odd categories. That's not very well conveyed in this video, so I figured I'd mention it." Everyone, minus Monika and Lou, was pretty confused. "Anyway."
Sayori: Oh! Well then you should join the Doki Doki Literature Club! Plus, if you come, you get a cupcake, so there's that.
"Cupcakes?" Abby, Ashido, Kirishima, Sero, Uraraka, Chris, Papyrus, Stewie, Peter and Alphys asked excitedly.
"A literature club?" Brian asked, completely alone. "Where do I sign up?"
Monika nervously laughed. "Oh, well, the Literature Club doesn't exactly... exist anymore. Ahaha..."
"Wait, why?" Brian asked.
"It's a long story. You'll see later in the video, I think."
MC: ...Okay.
Sayori: Welcome to the club! This is Natsuki. She's super cute, loves manga and baking!
Papyrus gasped. "OH MY GOD, THIS HUMAN IS SO CUTE–"
Natsuki: *unholy screeching*
"...OH."
"jeez," Sans muttered.
"Small children scare me," Denki said.
"She's about the same age as you," Lou threw in.
"Oh, damn."
MC: ...
Sayori: And this is Yuri! She's super dark and mysterious-like!
Yuri: Hello! I've already stolen a lock of your hair, and tonight I will mix it into my tea. And drink it. That way, a piece of you will be within me.
MC: ...
Yuri: ...
"Jesus, what the hell is wrong with this girl?" Peter said.
"A lot of things," Monika said.
Sayori: And lastly, this is Monika!
Monika's eyes narrowed again. "She's introducing me last? Ha." She sighed. "I no longer regret deleting her first."
"'Deleting her'?" Flowey muttered. "Heh, so you can manipulate your game's code, too."
Sans' eyesockets narrowed. "'too,' huh?"
"Save it for the intermissions, Self Awares," Lou said. "Moving on!"
Monika: HOW DARE YOU INTRODUCE ME LAST, YOU HOE? I mean, hello, Protagonist! I'm Monika, and I'm perfect in every way. Except that I'm secretly a psychopath...
All eyes were on Monika as she nervously laughed.
MC: Wait, what?
Monika: Uhh... waifu boobs?
MC: W A I F U B O O B S .
"Lord, give me strength," Lois sighed, holding her face in her hands.
"You'll be okay, Mom," Meg said. "The video's only, like, four more minutes long."
"Four more minutes of waifu boobs –"
"Ashido."
"Sorry, Sensei."
Monika: Alright everyone, it's time for us to read our poems now!
"Oh boy, poems!" Peter exclaimed. "I'd bet at least one of them has the word."
"Yes, poems have words in them...?" Mei said at length, confused.
"Not just any word, kid; the word," Peter repeated.
"What word?" Bakugo asked.
"Oh, you mean you haven't heard?"
"GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!" Stewie shouted.
And we all know what happened next.
Peter jumped out of his seat and started singing and dancing around the room. "Bird bird bird, b-bird's the word a-well-a bird bird bird, bird is the word a-well-a bird bird bird, well-a bird is the word a-well-a bird bird bird, b-bird's the word a-well-a bird bird bird, well-a bird is the word a-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word a-well-a bird bird bird, b-bird's the word a-well-a bird bird bird, well-a bird is the word a-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word a-well-a don't you know, about the bird? Well, everybody knows that the bird is the word! A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word—"
"I'm this close to killing him," Lou hissed, covering her ears. "I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna fucking do it."
"Let me help, then," Stewie said, pulling a knife out of his pocket.
"Stewie, where the hell did you get a knife?" Brian asked.
"I have my sources, Brian."
"MOVING ON WITH THE VIDEO," Lou desperately shouted, getting Peter and the rest of the either wheezing, crying, or braindead characters to quiet down.
Sayori: Hey, Protagonist, I'm gonna read my poem out loud to you, okay? *ahem*... HELP ME PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE SEVERE DEPRESSION IT IS BECOMING A PROBLEM I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
"ERM, HUMAN, ARE YOU OKAY?" Papyrus asked, concerned.
"Not really," Monika muttered.
MC: Uhh, Sayori, are you alright...?
Sayori: I'm totally fine! My poems are art, they shouldn't be taken literally. Okay?
"I'm calling bullshit," Undyne said.
"Yeah, she definitely needs therapy," Meg said.
Sayori: But hold on, there's more, you gotta let me finish: *ahem*... PLEASE GOD HELP ME SOMEONE HELP ME I'M SO DEPRESSED THIS POEM IS A CRY FOR HELP PLEASE HELP ME. The end!
MC: Uhhhhhmmmmmmm... Great poem, Sayori!
"It was..." Brian awkwardly cleared his throat. "Uh, something... I guess."
"Yeah, define 'something,'" Miriam said.
Yuri: Protagonist! It's my turn now! *ahem*... Knives. Knives. Knives. Your pen. Knives. Knives. Knives. Knives. Knives –
MC: Uh, thanks for sharing, Yuri?
"Bro, fucking run," Ashido said.
"Yeah, jeez, that girl is fucking insane; get the hell out of there," Bakugo muttered.
Yuri: I'm not done! Knives. Knives. Knives. Knives –
MC: Uh, okay. Natsuki, what about your poem?
Natsuki: *unholy screeching*
"Who's surprised?" Priya sighed.
"What is wrong with all of these girls?" Lois asked.
"As previously stated, several things," Lou answered.
MC: ...
Natsuki: DON'T CALL ME LITTLE. DON'T CALL ME CUTE. *more screeching*
Monika: Okay, it's time for my poem now! I think you're really gonna like it, Protagonist: *ahem*... Waifu... Boobs... The end.
Papyrus held his skull in his gloved hands. "OH MY GOD..."
"What the hell...?" Aizawa muttered.
"None of my poems were ever like that!" Monika said defensively.
"Yeah, they were all pretty obvious hints that she knew she was in a video game," Lou said.
"Was it really that obvious?"
Lou laughed. "Uh, yeah."
MC: Monika, that was amazing!
Monika: Thank you, I worked SO hard on it.
"yeah, sure," Sans muttered skeptically.
Monika: Okay, club is over, see you all tomorrow!
Sayori: Hey, Protagonist? So... I actually love you.
MC: Oh my gosh! *gasp* Is it waifu boob time?
"Literally stop," Uraraka said.
"I-it was funny for about t-ten seconds," Alphys said, "a-and now it's n-not anymore."
Sayori: No, I'm too sad.
MC: Oh, okay. Well, I'll always be your best friend.
Sayori: Okay.
"Oh, shit, this can't be good," Kirishima said.
"What? No," Lou said in her best Forky voice. "What gave you that idea?"
THE NEXT DAY:
*Sayori fucking hangs herself*
Jaws dropped in terror and horror around the room. Even though the screen only showed a Memoji character with a shoddily Photoshopped – to say the least – bow with 'X's drawn over its eyes and a noose hanging underneath it, everyone got the message.
Meanwhile, Monika and Lou awkwardly looked at each other, both fully aware of what had happened and how quickly everything would go to hell from that point.
MC: OH NO! SAYORI KILLED HERSELF!
"YEAH, YOU DON'T SAY," Peter exclaimed.
"HEY LOU," Mei shouted. "WAS ONE OF THOSE 'ODD CATEGORIES,' BY ANY CHANCE, PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR?"
"Yes, actually. Great deduction, Mei!"
Monika: Oh no Protag! I can't believe you left her... HANGING.
"woah, kid, i appreciate the pun, but that was way too soon," Sans said, eyesockets still dark.
Monika nervously laughed. "Yeah, looking back..."
MC: Wow, Monika, that was way too soon of a joke.
Natsuki: My neck hurts...
MC: Oh! That's the first time I've heard your voice!
"THE PROTAGONIST IS CORRECT! AND HUMAN NATSUKI'S VOICE IS RATHER ADORABLE!" Papyrus gushed.
"SO CUTE!" Abby also gushed.
MC: You should talk more; your voice is so cute and –
*Natsuki snap-crackle-pops her neck, glitchy face holes, rip*
And a sudden terrified silence enveloped the room once more.
"Be grateful this isn't an actual screen grab from the game," Lou said. "That shit is terrifying in action."
Monika awkwardly laughed for the 69th time. "Ehehe... sorry her death was so brutal and scary..."
MC: *screaming*
Yuri: Hey, guess what? I'm gonna stab myself now.
"Yuri, what the heck?" Mei exclaimed.
"Mei, 'heck' isn't a strong enough cuss word for this situation," Miriam said.
"I HAVE A GUILTY CONSCIENCE, LEAVE ME ALONE!"
MC: WAIT WHAT.
Yuri: It's because I love you; do you love me?
MC: SURE. YES. WHATEVER. PLEASE DON'T STAB YOURSELF.
"HUMAN YURI, THERE'S NO GOOD REASON FOR YOU TO DO THIS! DON'T HURT YOURSELF," Papyrus said, "PLEASE!"
"hey, the protag cleared up the situation," Sans reassured his brother. "she'll be ok, paps."
"NYEH... I SUPPOSE YOU'RE RIGHT, BROTHER."
"Of course he is, Papyrus," Deku added. "I'm sure everything will be just fi–"
Yuri: ... I'm gonna stab myself anyway.
"NYEH?"
"Damn it," Izuku muttered.
"took the words out of my mouth," Sans also muttered.
MC: WAIT WHY? *Yuri commits die but the audio version* O-Oh, God, she went and did it. Oh, she's still doing it. Oh, God, make it stop! Oh, okay, it's over.
More horrified stares. Monika and Lou shared one last look before the moment everything had been leading up to:
Monika: Hi, Protagonist. It's just us now. Just Monika. Just... Monika. Just. Monika.
"All of this was just so you could get the attention of the protagonist?" Iida asked.
Monika nodded. "Heh, yep! His entire, unadulterated attention. Love makes you do crazy things, I guess."
"Holy shit..." Undyne muttered.
"Y-yandere much?" Alphys whispered to herself.
MC: ... Waifu boobs?
Monika: Waifu boobs! Monika waifu boobs!
Aizawa sighed.
Lois facepalmed. "I thought we were past this..."
MC: Sayori was right, I did join the right club!
*Sayori, left hanging, is so happy for you*
*The girls sing twenty seconds of Monika's song*
"Well, that was dark as hell," Brian said.
"Although, I must say, Monika, I am quite impressed by your ability to so quickly and thoroughly, erm... take care of the other girls," Stewie complimented. "You simply must tell me how you did it! Maybe over tea?"
"Eh? Oh, maybe I can," Monika awkwardly answered. "Sometime..."
"Ready for the next video?" Lou asked. "I promise it'll be infinitely more lighthearted."
"PLEASE."
"Yeah..."
"Yes!"
"Play it."
"Let's go!"
"Okay."
"Alrighty."
"Sure."
"Our next nutshell video will be..."
