It is 2015 in the town of Ebott, USA. There are two species that dominate Earth and have been since the beginning of time: humans and monsters. Monsters are much rarer than humans, and there is only one monster for every twenty people. From the beginning of time, relations with them and the humans have been.... unstable, at best. And now, a terrible organization is starting up that is ensuring that monsters will be suppressed forever.
But that's all just political stuff that only grown- ups and people like Dr. Gaster, a brilliant yet troubled scientist, and Jessica, a regretful but steadfast political leader, have to worry about.
Asriel, however, has a whole host of different things to worry about. He has to worry about the fact that he's born a goat monster, who looks like a human with white, thick fur and floppy ears and a long snout that resembles a goat's. Asriel has to worry about how freakish his appearance is and the fact that it's resulting in vicious bullying every day and making his grades plummet. He also has to worry about his new friend, who's a little short for a twelfth grader. Okay, a lot short.
But that's not all. Oh, no, Asriel and a lot of other people have a lot more to worry about. Along with the others, he has to worry about ruined green bean casseroles, overly optimistic yellow flowers, stand up Youtube comedy routines, cracked eggs, politics, and spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita. Oh, the horror. And that's just skimming the surface.
A human climbs Mount Ebott so he can get famous on YouTube. The boy trips on a vine and plummets to his death.
Or so he thought that was how his story would go...
...OR:
A "soulless" and conflicted monster falls in love with an emotionally unstable human that just wants to go home already!
(This is a story I was writing but stopped due to the lack of motivation. I wrote most of this back in April of 2022. If it gets enough love I may continue it because god has cursed me for my hubris, and my work is never finished.)
