glad you liked it :)
Usually, this would have made Error anxious. Not necessarily the fact they were being listened to by Nightmare's cohort of loverboys, but the fact that he was let into Nightmare's more personal quarters instead of his office.
They were all strewn across each other on the couch, on some level of the sleeping scale- not quite awake, not quite asleep, and Horror wasn't even on the couch because Dust was curled against Nightmare, limbs tangled in tentacles, and Killer was taking up two whole spot with his upper body half curled against his boss, feet shoved into the fluff of Horror's jacket.
Once, Error would have felt uneasy for even thinking "oh hey, that's a new jacket", because of course he didn't keep track of Horror's clothes, he just happened to notice it and whatever.
Nightmare was waiting for his musings to be done, and that was something that had changed too, that he even was willing to wait for Error. He guessed Nightmare had been particularly good to him recently, and he was kind of thankful for that. He also guessed that it had to do with these men, who mellowed Nightmare out to the point of being a pillow for them whenever they liked.
Not quite lovers, not quite castlemates either.
"...I GgueSs I CcouldD ddDoo thHat.", Error drawled with stuttered and broken speech, and Nightmare smiled to hear the glitch he was proud to call his friend agree to a new deal.
"I'm glad we agree on this, Error. Tell me, would y..."
Nightmare drawled the letter out, falling silent as he looked struck with something like awe.
Killer looked up from his snuggling, blinking lazily and giving a small smile- startling Error with the sound of his purring. The destroyer flinched, and put the hand he'd tried to offer down, smoothing the front of his jacket as he tried not to panic.
There was an odd look in Nightmare's eyes and ugh, how irritating.
"ssSoRrY.", he mumbled, cursing himself for the disappointment that was hanging on to him, and frowned when Nightmare smiled.
"No, it is quite alright, Error. Do not ask forgiveness."
Error watched the goopy man grin, and raise his hand; held out for Error to take.
He hesitated- but steeled his nerves, the white noise of Killer's obnoxious purring actually helping soothe him.
This was stupid. It was just a handshake.
His phalanges touched Nightmare's, and the other curled his hand with surprising gentleness, a sort of embarrassing squeak leaving Error at that.
"AaA-nyw-"
"Do you wish to join us?"
The question was so out of pocket that Error froze, a question on the tip of his tongues. His brows narrowed, and he snatched his hand back, a little bit offended.
"Yeah, glitchy. Come here. We were about to watch undernovella's new episode anyway. Right guys?"
They most definitely weren't, but that was a nice thought, wasn't it? that they were willing to drop whatever they'd planned just to ensure Error would be happy. As if to double down, Killer pulled his legs from Horror's fluff, freeing that last spot on the couch, and Horror shuffled to the side. Joining them on the couch.
This was the first time they'd made such an offer.
Error's mangled heart swelled with something a little cold, and something a little warm.
It'd be nice. But he wasn't there yet.
"..."
he hesitated.
"NnNext ttTimMe."
He grimaced, when Killer's purring kicked up a notch and Nightmare grinned, and shuffled his feet awkwardly when Dust opened a socket to watch him and Horror smiled wide.
"I'll have to make more pop corn next time, then. To be sure."
He huffed, warmth blooming in his cheekbones.
"SsTop MAkkKIng tHiIis a BbbBig dDeal!"

I love this so much, you really cooked
(This is relating to this)
PART TWO OF ME DUMPING MY OLD OCs HERE
on the first line we have Strive and Moror! Moror is a sacrifice, Strive is a Fresh parasite, you know the deal. While Strive did take Moror as a host, Moror didn't shut up about it and somehow managed to charm Fresh's socks off with his natural wit and sweet nature. Moror fell hard, Fresh fell harder. When Moror's soul eventually broke, Fresh swore to strive to be better (or smth), changing names and even dropping part of his mask to be sweeter to the regular people.
Next one is Snipes. Basically the monsters from Underlust get to the surface, immediately get drafted into a human war (they can't get them to wear normal clothes)
Third line is Jack, the beautiful little skeleton. He has a clock instead of a soul, and one rule to obey at all times: never fall in love (or his clock stops and he dies). He's a sweetheart. Will faint if you smile at him too much. I love this guy.
THEN GREELING ON THE LEFT, AND CIPHER ON THE RIGHT. Greeling is Greed + Ling from Fullmetal alchemist + Rouxls Kaard. Cipher is Bill Cipher + Chara + a green soul.
Next are Styxis and Reseda. I'll be honest, idk what they were about
aaaand last but not least, Virus Chara. A big zombie-ish apocalypse is happening in the human world. A father falls in the underground with a five-year-old, which was born from an infected mother. He dies when Toriel finds the two, effectively contaminating her. Chara, the child, is a carrier of the disease that doesn't suffer its effects. They're given a hazmat suit to waddle around in as they discover their own magic, meanwhile the Underground falls into despair and disarray when the infection spreads. Soon, Chara is left all alone to scavenge and try to survive (it doesn't go well.)
I ever post this guy here? no? here you go
it's me. I found it and now I'm obsessed. It's so *pretty* GOOD GOLLY.
someone finally found my utmv rp blog
Disclaimer, I haven't watched Xtale
so the original point of Error is: he's a bitch bastard who believes the multiverse is a big pot of bullshit and wants to personally murder the shit out of eeeeverything....but the original timeline. his objective is to destroy EVERYTHING until only that one timeline is left.
Ink's original purpose isn't to nurture creativity; it's to MAINTAIN AND UPKEEP ORIGINAL PLOTLINES. He's in universes not to fix them, or better them, but to ensure they don't deviate from their assigned plot. He does make smaller "sacrifices" but it's not to have friends or keep Blue and Dream by his side, it's just that the creators give them more plotlines outside the bounds of their own AU and by that point the original AU is too far gone to fix, so whatever.
So to me that gives Error VS Ink a few different flavors; one is the one I like to call "Stable-Verse". There's no balance, no limit, just infinity. Ink wants to upkeep the plotlines and please the creators (which, within himself, is also to prevent more art block aus from being created. If you love on the creator and their AU they're less likely to leave it incomplete). Meanwhile, Error destroys and wrecks AUs, and creates more outcodes via the survivors, which is contrary to his belief system, because the outcodes pollute more universes and plotlines and Error essentially undoes his work. The star Sanses are helpful not because they're his friends but because their objectives line up more often with Ink's than Ink's objectives line up with others.
In my opinion, Ink doesn't like XG for his "creativity", but because OVERWRITE could technically be helpful not in the way Gaster uses it, which goes against Ink's core principles, but because it could make fixing up the og plotlines so much easier if he has it, right? which means just allowing the man's games to happen. Besides, having a soul has always been Ink's dream, right?
the other flavor of "two-sided coin" I like is "Balance-Verse". The balance is a thing, both in terms of emotions and in terms of multiverse size. You go from "you know what, I wanna do this thing I believe in" to "there's a voice in my head. BETTER DO WHAT IT SAYS HUH"
thus, the beautiful AO3 tag of "forced god of creation!Ink" and "forced god of destruction!Error". The tags disclaimer it a lot: they don't necessarily always want to do these things. You get a much less calculating, sweeter Ink who's hand is kinda forced by the creators to fix shit up all the time for them, and a cynical but much more relatable Error who doesn't have a choice and physically has to destroy universes in order for the multiverse to not fucking explode.
Or, you know, they die and get replaced.
Or, worse, they can't die and are condemned to an eternity of doing the creators' bidding.
Here, they're only opposing forces because of misunderstandings and plotlines. They're actually much friendlier if they can just talk it out instead of duking it out.
....I'll be honest, that second flavor is my favorite. Tastes like dread. and Sanshipping.
(let me shill my Balance Verse fic rq :skull:)
What are your thoughts on Error and Ink having a creation/destruction balance?
LOVE IT OMG
I love when characters contrast but still fit together like a puzzle
Id say They're both chaotic neutral, and both have their own creative medium they enjoy (Ink loves every medium while Error's forte is knitting)
I like how they're so different but they're still friends. Even with their roles and their jobs
Technically, from what I understand, Ink's role isn't necessarily to create AUs but instead to nurture the creativity the creators of them have, example being XGaster. He didn't make Xtale as far as I'm aware but he encouraged Gaster with his creativity and his ability to OVERWRITE. (if I'm wrong on that I'm sorry it's been a while since I watched XTale djdjndnd)
Error's role is one I don't understand as much tho. Does he just destroy worlds on a whim or does he have reason to? And does he really destroy them or is it more complicated than that like with Ink? I feel like I know more about Ink than I do Error tbh (and that makes me SAD cause I love Error fhdhhdnd)
If yall ever see anything just rambling about Error or talking about canon Error facts n lore n stuff feel free to tag me in it cause I could sit and read about him all day :3
Context: Dream ate a black apple. He was corrupted as a result. This comic depicts his last sane days before it fully hits.
previous - first - next
(spoilers for chapter 8 of Yet Another Battle)
Dream: I guess that's what I'm doing, aren't I? Casting you away. How selfish of me...I'm sorry. I didn't...don't want to do this either. You just have to trust me.
Cross: Dream! (reaches for his hand)
Dream: (slaps it away) NO!
Cross: ow!
I'd print it and put it on my irl fridge
Go for it. Draw my OC. If you want, I’ll even give you reference posts. Go to town on it.
You are welcome to draw my OC and surprise me with the result. Seriously. In fact, I encourage it. I will proudly display whatever it is you submit to me regarding my OC. There is a chance that I will squeal about it for several days.
Even if you feel you aren’t good at whatever artistic adventure it is you do, please feel free to submit it to me. I want to see what you have done.
what encourages/motivates you to share fics you’ve written online? especially when you were starting out?
Please, I'm begging. I'm so lonely.
I'd like someone who's willing to do Discord rp, half lit to full lit.
Preferably also someone who wants to rp a skellie against another skellie...!! let's rp gay boys.
I probably won't be finishing this ever, so: here goes!
this is set in an alternate universe. Might turn it into a fic too.
(y'all better thank @solsticecouncil for the plot)
[Error falls into a strange world, that doesn't function by the rules of the multiverse. Memory-less, Helpless, he accidentally gives up his name to "Nightmare", a Fey who's more sweet on Error than both of them are willing to admit. When Nightmare blunders and Error owns him right back, Nightmare resorts to asking his estranged husband, Ink, as well as Ink's concubine, Killer, for help.]
