* MUSTACHE GIRL EX ATK 180 DEF 280
* Guess she did have a breaking point, after all.
* ...There must be a way to get through to her.

Mustache Girl takes on a hybrid Asgore and Asriel role. Already feeling trapped and conflicted, her emotions are finally pushed over the edge when an incredibly large group of people -- though it feels more like the entire world with how suffocating the crowd is -- barge into her throne room and hurl insults her way, telling her to "get lost!" among other things ...and (almost) all in the name of Bow Kid, mirroring what happened years ago to a disturbing degree. Finally overwhelmed by all her painful thoughts and emotions bubbling back to the surface, she snaps and violently shatters a Time Piece in a fit of rage. And thus history is made to repeat itself once more. But this time, something's different.

BABY'S FIRST HOPES AND DREAMS REPLACEMENT FOR THE WIN :D
But ye, this is actually happening! Aside from using similar instruments (and a somewhat loose idea for the very beginning of my track,) this is *very* deliberately unfaithful to the typical H&D structure. Knew right away that I wanted to use Mustache Girl EX as the base for this track, and that sticking too rigidly to the structure of any other H&D would do a disservice to the feel I wanted to go for: that same kick-you-in-the-dick level of power from Mu EX, but with a LOT more of a melancholy vibe underlying all that fury. Plus, bit of a fun fact: adjustments have been made since obviously, but the first "complete" mixing draft of this track was finished on New Year's Eve 2023! (This kind of constant revising is why the His Theme track is *still* not done on my part btw lmaooooo.)
Also... I'll fully admit something here. For the first time on a track I've done, the drumbeat's backbone is comprised of loops I got when I bought Mixcraft 10 (especially with some of the things they were offering during the first week of its launch,) and the only supplemental VST I used was Abbey Road 80's Drummer for the left panned hi-hats. I know that EDM-type stuff similar to the actual Mu EX track is completely out of my wheelhouse, and I didn't want to royally screw up the drum pattern with this different metal-ish take on it, seeing as those are something I have a TON of trouble with. All things considered, drumline came out ok!
And ye on the whole, I'm incredibly happy with this track, and it's *easily* the most ambitious arrangement I've done to date (and the most difficult too in some aspects.) Hope you all enjoy! :) --Ashley

History Repeats Itself

A Hat In Time: Time’s End was created by MysteryMan (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://twitter.com/bittybattybunny.) She makes incredible art (and is great at crocheting too!) - be sure to check out her work!!
