"Well, if you're taking notes, I might as well add some more detail," Frisk says, a mischievous smile tugging at their face. Honestly, confusing people was one of their favorite hobbies, and the whole mess that was their ""family"" provided a prime opportunity for that.
"The initial point of divergence of my timeline and Other Frisk's and Asriel's was way back before either of us were born. You see, our versions of Chara fell down into the underground about a hundred years ago and got adopted by Asriel's family, the Dreemurrs." They point towards a little before the timelines split, where C. falls is written. It was kind of a big deal, because way even before that, humanity nearly exterminated the monsters out of fear of what they could do if a monster got ahold of a human SOUL, and sealed the rest in a cave beneath Mt. Ebott with a barrier that could only be broken with the power of seven human SOULs. A human child suddenly showing up and peacefully integrating with the monsters was a sign of hope.
"Thing is, our version of Chara tried to do something risky, crossed the barrier with Asriel to get human SOULs and free the rest of the monsters. It didn't work, and they died just a few moments after they fled back to the underground. Asgore, Asriel and Chara's dad, got pissed and declared war on humanity, saying he'd collect the SOULs of the next seven humans who fell and use it to break free. That... didn't exactly go as planned, because for whatever reason, only kids fell.
"That's where the timelines diverge. It only took him killing one of 'em for Asgore to break and run off, leaving his wife, Toriel, in charge of the kingdom in my timeline. In other Frisk's, Asgore still killed the kid, but Toriel disappeared out of disgust instead. From there, things sort of... spiralled. Butterfly effect and all. From what we could deduce, six very important people in our lives had their roles switched, and a few others were affected as a result as well. For example, Papyrus is an aspiring Royal Guard in other Frisk's timeline, while in mine he's the assistant of the Royal Scientist instead."
They take a deep breath, pausing. "I'm not all that familiar with Chara's, but it's very similar to the situation with mine and other Frisk's: same people, different roles and events. And like I said, Asriel came from the future of other Frisk's timeline, while Papyrus came from the present of mine. The weird thing is, you could consider all of us except Papyrus siblings? We were all adopted or born to the same person, just in different timelines."
