*This human may have accepted their fate…
*But that doesn’t mean you will.

Alcau tells the story of a facility far away from Mt. Ebott in which a new set of monsters is held after losing its own skirmish against humans. After managing to break free from the clutches of Mt. Ebott's Underground, our hero Nex finds himself in yet another holding facility for monsters where his life is at stake. He's quite a few miles off from where he used to be and quite a few memories off from WHO he used to be, but throughout his journey he'll regain his bearings, learn more about himself, and maybe even bring justice to a whole new population of monsters.

Despite being mostly made up of self-insert original characters, Frisk takes the role of Asriel in Alcau. Atoning for their actions beneath Mt. Ebott, they admitted themself into Alcau and allowed their SOUL energy to be used as a power source for the facility. Their presence is key to the facility’s continued existence.

So now that the series is coming to a close, here’s an interesting tidbit regarding The Past Catches Up. The five TPCUs actually line up the five stages of grief.
In Aftergore I, Frisk is trying to keep Nex away because they’re in DENIAL about what happened.
In Aftergore II, Frisk has resorted to great amounts of ANGER, and TPCU2 in turn has a much more aggressive tone.
In Aftergore III, Frisk acknowledges their actions, but is trying to justify and come to terms with them however they can, aka BARGAINING.
In Aftergore IV, Frisk is absolutely heartbroken over the deaths they caused, and they are in a deep DEPRESSION, hence the sadder tone of TPCU4.
And now, in Alcau, Frisk has come to a place of ACCEPTANCE over what they’ve done, and feel comfortable facing consequences and atoning for their actions.

What’s fascinating about this connection is that I’ll be the first to admit it was almost completely by accident. Stages 1-4 were planned without at all seeing any kind of connection like that, and it was only after connecting the dots that the theme of acceptance was decided for a fifth TPCU. Honestly, given the heavy themes of grief throughout Aftergore, it’s perfect. Let’s just pretend I was super smart and actually did this on purpose. But anyways, now the saga is over, all five phases are complete. I think the past has finally caught up completely, don’t you?

I know we mistakenly said this before, but for real this time: this is the last canonical installment of the TPCU series. 500 tracks is an absolutely wild milestone, so what better way to celebrate than by finally capping off our every-100-tracks tradition? We’re gonna stop planning specials for every hundred tracks from here on out, it’s honestly really annoying to try and count how many tracks are on our schedule in advance. We’ll probably do something for 1000, but that won’t be for a while. For real though, thank you to Toadie for the amazing work they do. I don’t know where I’d be without them.

Hi there, the other 50% of Quicksilver here! Honestly the past few months, years actually, if you think about it, have been such a wild ride. We're at like, 200 Aftergore tracks now? Like hot damn that in and of itself is a *lot*. We've still got quite a ways to go, Especially with Alcau added into the mix here, but we'll be able to finish things in due time.

Making all of these different iterations of The Past Catches Up has been kinda wild honestly, especially when we made the connection to the 5 stages of grief and how everything perfectly fell into place. I mean, uhhh, Slick *totally* meant for that to happen immediately this was planned from the start we even knew Alcau was going to be a thing yep uh huh real!!
In any case though, it's been really fun making these.

That's all I can ramble about for now, apparently there's a max character length for descriptions.

Original by @prettytranny, who also released the midi for it, without which this would have been kinda hard to do, considering how mind-boggingly VAST the instrumentation of this bby is.

This was a ton of fun to do, so I hope you enjoy it!

so this has a bit of context, starting with the weird thought of a hotel shad creepypasta.

and then i wrote the actual creepypasta with @serpentsnivy , which can be found here:

thanks to @rave-n-music for guitar tips and giving me presets for shreddage (when she had decided to improve the backing guitars in kall inuti iv and cold garbage for some reason)! and i don't care if the thumbnail doesn't really tie in with a self insert confronting yourself cause it's too good.

(edit 1): BIG GIANT THANKS to @thetunehero-956661993 for making the previous background thumbnail (for no apparent reason but whatever)! you're EPIC! the image can be found here:
