Vanessa takes the role of Glyde. In the Entropy and TimeWarp routes, she decides to go on a walk to clear her mind... only to see the trail of destruction you've left in your wake, and the lives you've already ruined (Snatcher especially on the TimeWarp route.) Just your luck that you ran into her then, huh! =)
Determined to put a stop to you, or stall so people can get away from you if nothing else, Vanessa finally feels compelled to engage in a fight. It will be a gruelling endurance battle, with her hurling some of the strongest attacks you would face on either of the two routes this battle happens on.

(slaps roof of Time's End AU) This bad boi can fit so many new OST slots.
Ok but in all seriousness though! I've had at least the TimeWarp route's version of this idea down for quite some time, but I recently realized that I should probably expand it some more (even if only a little.) So although the OST placement of this reflects its chronology in the Entropy route, this Vanessa battle now happens in both Entropy and TimeWarp routes! You can read the main AU write-up for more details on the former, and the dedicated TimeWarp document for the latter.
As for the song itself: HOLY SHIT IT TURNED OUT RLY NICELY ON BOTH FRONTS!! A lot of you long-time fans of mine may have noticed that I actually lifted the title wholesale from one of my old Nomadic Prince AU tracks. And yeah fun fact, my original plan was to overhaul that old track. But then I realized "Wait... this track sucks ass. Especially for this new context the Time's End AU would be providing." So I pondered even further, until it struck me: **I HAVE MONEY GODDAMN IT!!!**
I've always wanted to commission Jayze, and since I was in a financially lucky spot in December '24, I finally seized upon that opportunity. Suggested his older IN A PICKLE track (https://soundcloud.com/jjaym15/in-a-pickle) as a basis to draw from, and he really delivered - and then some! He's a fantastic musician that was a pleasure to do business with. And Raven's art... DAMN IT TURNED OUT SO WELL! Glad I got to work with her on this as well.
All my gushing and nerdy comments aside tho, I hope y'all enjoy the track as much as I did! :3 --Ashley

A Hat In Time: Time’s End was created by MysteryMa'am (aka Ashley.) It is an AHIT/Undertale crossover AU of sorts, taking place in the aftermath of a timeline where you lose the final boss fight against Mustache Girl. The write-up is over on AO3! The direct link to it, along with the write-ups for the Neutral Endings and TimeWarp Route Requirements, can be found in the bio links!

The logo for Time's End was designed by BittyBattyBunny (https://bittybattybunny.tumblr.com / https://bsky.app/profile/bittybattybunny.bsky.social.) They make incredible art (and are great at crocheting too!) - be sure to check out their work!!

I listen to either meme songs or actual good pieces :3 sometimes in between idunno
