So I was looking at “Strange Someone- Frisk” by @the-meme-monarch
And I fell in love with the idea. Because 4th wall concepts are my favorite thing ever. So as an artist I made the only thing I could and drew my AU Chara with them for goofs. ❤️

The idea of Frisk and Chara being opposites (and providing opposite choices)
You know, back when I wasn't really sure what to do with Frisk, trying to define them in opposition to Chara helped a lot.
If Chara is serious, then Frisk is silly
If Chara's a bit of an edgelord then Frisk is bubbly and cheerful. (Remember Frisk making a smiley face with the punchcards and Chara saying “happiness is fleeting” when you take them out.
If Chara is impatient and tries to be as efficient as possible, then Frisk is more willing to "waste time", having fun and hanging out with their new underground friends.
(It's easy to imagine some of what Frisk can do as almost deliberate antagonism, the Narrator is harsh and cold and snobby so Frisk starts having fun trying to rile them up. I mean why else would they start checking literally everything in sight when they know the Narrator’s so impatient lol)
If Chara is strict and bossy, Frisk is perhaps a little rebellious, a little contrarian, and employs the philosophy of "you can do whatever you want forever" even if it annoys spoilsports like Chara…especially if it annoys spoilsports like Chara.
If Chara tries to be formal and polite, calm and distant, perhaps has internalised the idea that "children should be seen and not heard" from the surface, then Frisk is more rowdy, teasing and loud, but undeniably warm and friendly.
If Chara is hypervigilant and perhaps a little cowardly (with the running away text), then Frisk is the stupidly fearless one.
If I’m right about Chara not really wanting to forgive him, then that means forgiving Asriel was always Frisk’s preferred choice.
If Chara is the academically gifted one and the teacher's pet(because of the wordiness), then Frisk struggles with school and is easily bored by it and thus spends schooltime goofing off and making trouble with Flowey (or coming up with ways to skip…with Flowey).
Chara’s a voracious reader but Frisk can’t read very well at all, and they certainly don’t enjoy it, they see anything longer than a paragraph or two and check out.
Since I think that Chara is both pretty proud of both their role in the prophecy and their status as royalty (but keeping up their high self esteem is incredibly dependent on others validation lest they crash down to nothing), to me that means Frisk is much more naturally and stably self confident.
…If Chara is easily embarrassed, and cares far too much about everyone seeing them as perfect then it's Frisk who is shameless, and doesn't care what others really think… which is why they can dance in public, and flirt with strangers, and dress like a human rainbow.
And we know that Chara apparently hated the power of determination and wanted to get rid of it "that power… that's the power you were trying to stop, isn't it?" and had a save file they never used, which probably means they could have reset after the buttercup plan and saved both themselves and Asriel and just…chose not to… But Frisk, on the other hand is the most determined child in the Underground and the only one not to eventually willingly give up against Asgore (since every human could reset)
It’s because of this that I can pretend those few moments of Frisk seemingly showing annoyance with our actions is actually Chara being annoyed with Frisk. Because Frisk chooses the soda that Chara describes as “sickly” and CHARA scrunches up their nose or Chara making Frisk drag their feet when Frisk WANTS to look at stuff in the creepy lab. It's probably Frisk telling Chara not to be such a scaredy cat in that moment.
So yeah…defined in opposition, it helps with characterization, and works as an alternative to player theory (even if that's canon now)

NEW FIC UP
The kid is not picking up the phone.
It would end up going silent every time. Not after a series of rings, though - it was some weird indiscernible noise he couldn’t parse through and that was frankly painful to listen to. Weird. Maybe a network error. Or something. Did monster phones even work up here?
(Yes, they did. Papyrus, upon hearing he had trouble calling someone, called Undyne to ask if she had a problem with her phone too, swiftly solving the whole thing before she even picked up when nothing but normal ringing could be heard. He then proceeded to talk her ear off for around two hours about how cool real race cars were in comparison to the bed ones.)
So, a dead end. He decided to go up the chain of command of kid-related issues.
—
Time passes from when the monsters were freed from the Underground. Life goes on. But no one can reach Frisk - they're nowhere to be found and their number emits a weird, garbage-like noise. A young human like that couldn't have gone very far, though, right?
A story inspired by the Strange Someone Frisk AU/Theory created by @the-meme-monarch.
Inspired by this post because it got me Thinking way too hard.

[...]
All at once, the duo find themselves in a pleasantly familiar orange-painted bedroom, the fish tank containing one bitey betta fish, piles of video games, and astronomy books give clear signs of who it belongs to.
Frisk: "Ah-ha! Now I know we're home! None of the other Universes had a pet fish! I can't believe I overlooked that!"
Flowey: "I can't either! How could we overlook Orange? How shameful of us,"
Frisk: "Extremely shameful, we should feed him a treat for our negligence,"
Flowey: "I'll feed him a worm💛,"
Frisk then laughs and pulls Flowey into a hug, nuzzling their cheek to his affectionately.
Frisk: "That was so much fun! We should go Universe hopping again! But with zero body switching,"
Flowey: "I couldn't agree more!"
Frisk then lets go and walks off screen with Flowey following behind.
Frisk: "I'm hungry! I'm going to go see if Tori is cooking,"
Flowey: "If she isn't, I will,"
Flowey then turns off the Cam.
