#Error would be the one helping out the omega timeline

[tearcynical]

Crosswire Introductory Post!

What would happen if Cross became an error? This is the answer to that question! After XGaster's continuous resets, somewhere along the way Cross's code split into pieces, leading to the majority of those pieces ending up somewhere in a far off outcode. Becoming the way he is now, his past memories were weathered and faded with time. Instead of dwelling on figuring out his past and rediscovering who he was, he's set on who he's going to become, who he wants to be. Eyes on the future, Crosswire joins The Omega Timeline to better the futures of others, restoring code to dwindling aus, while simultaneously protecting them from those who'd wish them harm.

His life within the timeline he calls home is unfortunate at best. Crosswire puts in tremendous effort for those around him, yet receives less in turn due to the stereotypical view of errors and their variants. Working hard he receives recognition for his duty - but little for his character, and other interests. He knows he wants good for his self proclaimed family and friends, but hardly knows what to make of himself past that. With the lack of memories and lapses of that already poor memory, Crosswire fears he's going to lose what little he already has.

Duty calls him though, and that job of his leads him to discover the destructive entity that is Ethernet. Stopping and constantly thwarting Ethernet's plans in a scramble to help those in need, Crosswire can't help but to feel a sense of familiarity around the other glitch. His memory feels more secure near him, he's sworn he's seen a face like his before, so on and so forth. Developing an attachment to his enemy, he finds peace with their regular battles and violent interactions. Ethernet successfully becomes the one constant in his life, the one person who's upfront and honest with him (no matter how aggressive).

Crosswire can come across as mean, and he's definitely sassy, though underneath his pricklier exterior lies a squishy, loveable inside. Protecting that inside is a hardened, nonchalant (for lack of a better word) shell. He exhibits great patience and he's extremely considerate, although once you tread too far across his boiling point he has a fiery, hard to quell temper. Most of his rage, discomfort, and pointentally other negative emotions are held on his inside, bottled and kept from ever poking their head. He fears his already difficult to enjoy character would be worse off if he expressed himself to the fullest. He cares deeply for those around him regardless of if they do for him, and he sees the better sides of things with an almost foolish optimism. He's strong-willed, both in behaviour and form, and he's an even stronger lover.

- Crosswire's strings don't come from his eyes, but instead come from his cheeks. He peels them from his skull in an almost painful manner, like heated rubber pried from a road. His strings are stronger, harder to snap or break, more like wire than thread.

- Cross's fear of cows has translated weirdly through Crosswire's broken memory. Instead of being terrified of simple farm animals, he's deathly scared of Mammoths.

- Crosswire, when he's not busy with his work, spends his time creating comics. They're nothing special, as his creative abilities are nowhere near as good as others, but he enjoys the process of storytelling and drawing. Excuse his many plotholes, stereotypically drawn anime segments, and overpowered characters, and you might enjoy them.

- Crosswire is capable of destroying Aus much like his counterpart, although he's modified that violent technique and turned it into something constructive.

Could we have some soft/comfort headcannons about anyone of your choosing? It's election night and I really would like something soft for my brain to chew on instead of worry all night

Absolutely!

Imma give you a bunch of different little guys <333

———

Killer:

-his cats help him a lot with sleep problems, they make him calm enough to the point of actually closing his eyes whenever he’s with them (reminder that he usually sleeps with one eye open xhxbbx)

-after he’s saved, he gradually becomes better at eating, he still avoids food that reminds him of the past but becomes more accepting of other types of food, eventually getting his bone mass and weight back, going from lanky to chubby <3333

-he eventually accepts the state of his soul and instead of trying to fix it, he tries to understand it, understand himself, he becomes a lot more gentle with his own self

———

Color:

-he has albums upon albums full of pictures he took over the years, filled with places he visited, pictures of people he loves and moments he cherishes

-he’s very connected with so many people, and a lot of people find him to be a great confidant, he does a lot to help people where he can, he eventually gets the good he gave back with people taking care of him

-he’s in a queer platonic relationship with Delta and Epic

———

Nightmare:

-he has piles upon piles of gifts Dream gave him for their birthday over the years, he never got rid of any of them, these gifts are something he cherishes dearly

-he’s the one to introduce Killer to Ccino’s cafe, he actually did that with no ill intentions, and Nightmare himself is not really sure why he went out of his way to introduce Killer to the cafe

-he and Dream sometimes sit beside their mother in silence, just taking everything in, taking each other presence in, not talking or interacting, Nightmare feels peaceful during these moments, it’s the closest thing to the same feelings he had as a happy child

———

Dream:

-even though he has a fallout with Ink, he eventually remedies his relationship with them, they become best friends again

-whenever life gets too much, he goes to Swap’s house and stays with the swap bros, it helps immensely

-Dream never expects to receive anything on his birthday, that expectation is broken when he receives a gift from Nightmare, he never got another gift afterwards, it’s only that one gift, but it’s the entire world to him

———

Error:

-he thinks of Ink as his bestest friend in the world, he’d never admit that out loud tho dhdhhdhdh (they’re frenemies)

-he loves geno and Fresh dearly, they’re his proclaimed siblings, he’s more open about his love with them

-he actually takes commissions by making dolls for people who want them in exchange for chocolate as payment (his chocolate stock never runs out zgxggx)

———

Horror:

-He eventually finds a better relationship with food

-he succeeds at escaping from Nightmare and managing to keep his AU (and most importantly his brother) safe in the process

-he finds himself becoming best friends with Farm

———

Ink:

-his art is something others never see, but surprisingly, if you had the chance to see it, then you’d find it’s art the people they love most

-their fallout with Dream actually hurt him, so when he and Dream got back to being besties, they felt very happy about it

-he loves spending time with Color, Epic and Delta cause of their constant traveling habits, they’re very entertaining to be around

-while they spend most his time in the doodlesphere, the second place you’ll most likely see them in is with their parents in the omega timeline, he loves them with all his heart

———

These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head hdhdhdhdh hope they’re enough to rotate in your brain all day <333333

[pleasestayawayidonotlikeyou]

The headcanons you wrote for Berry and Rasp were so good! Would you be willing to do some romantic headcanons for the cool skellies? (Cross, fresh, and epic?) I'm so excited to see what other stuff you write and draw!

Oh my thank you traveler! I hope you enjoy the future content on my blog <3

Featuring:Fresh, Epic, Cross.

Masterlist

Fresh

Traveler did you really fall for a parasite?

Looks like you have a very cool datemate broski!

Fresh definitely has trouble showing affection at first, he's never been in a relationship before ya know?

However, he asks his best buddy Dream for advice! He also asked Ink and Error but they didn't have very useful advice

He's not a fancy guy, nah, he's taking you to the skate park or just a random park for a date and doing picnics until the moon appears.

Does not have a house of his own, he's a parasite, he doesn't work silly, so he lives with you on the omega timeline.

He tries to help around the house, he swears the microwave exploded on its own though!

I headcannon most Sanses as tall, and Fresh's probably the tallest (if we're not counting with Ted) , it's pretty common how much he picks you up just because he wants to.

Sometimes he says he's "going to work" and comes back hours later, turns out his "job" is annoying the living shit out of Error.

If you ever want to learn skate boarding he'll gladly teach you with a smile stuck on his face during the process.

Epic

Oh my, dating the King of memes are we traveler?

He's one of the best skeletons to date on the multiverse, lives in the omega timeline, is funny, treats you like you're the most important person who ever existed for him, now that I think about it you're kinda lucky traveler.

Talking about memes, he lags your phone with how much he sends you, Epic does not have pity on your poor phone.

He's the type of guy who the moment you ask for attention, he's cuddling you in the couch while a movie's playing on the TV.

Epic surprisingly knows more about the multiverse than how to cook. He managed to burn pasta. PASTA.

Grabs random cats from the street and adopts them, y'all have like 6 cats now, and one is named oi oi oi... Please stop your man traveler...

Makes you laugh on every opportunity he gets, especially when you're feeling down.

Takes you out to outertale pretty regularly, and every time he points at the brightest star he sees and says "Look at it darling! It's ya!"

Cross

Sometimes Killer teases you asking if you got yourself a boyfriend or a dog.

This is because Cross kinda acts like a guard dog, he's big and he can be scary when he wants to, plus, he works with Nightmare! What if someone tries to take you hostage? He can't let that happen can he?

I am aware that in canon Cross isn't part of the bad Sanses and all, but in this version he works with Nightmare destroying and terrorizing worlds to reconstruct his own.

You're definitely not living in the omega timeline, you're living on his unfinished AU instead!

He's used to waking up early, 6 am maximum, so when he sees your cute sleeping face laying next to him, he just can't let himself get up without filling your face with kisses.

Chara teases him for being such a softie around you.

Cross loves sleepy cuddles in the morning, especially when you're burying your head on his chest while murmuring for him to get back to sleep.

When he gets back from a long mission he usually brings you small gifts he thinks you'd like.

[lovestuckstarz]

Since I'm too sick to draw him here's a little thing about my little guy, Berry!

This AU is just called Bad Dads AU, nothing fancy but its essentially a multiverse where Berry never aged to an adult as a genocide happened far before Chara fell and Core Frisk to the OT and the MTT just yoinked him

Heres just a big copy paste from the unfinished carrd :3

P.S. if you draw him i will cry

🥕 Berry is from an Underswap timeline that was doomed from the start. A human fell down before Chara would and did an all complete genocide route minus Berry himself.

🥕 Core Frisk then took Berry to the Omega timeline. Berry was around 4 at this time.

🥕 Months later after Berry turned 5, the Murder Time Trio appeared needing some healing help after a mission. Dust spotted Berry and since he had never seen a kid Sans like this, he asked Core Frisk what his deal was.

🥕 Dust, who shockingly was good with kids, had Berry hang out with the three until they were properly healed. Berry seemed to like Dust so Core Frisk allowed it.

🥕 What Core Frisk didn't allow or expect was the three to kidnap him and bring him back to Nightmare's castle. Their motive was solely because they had their own troubled up bringing, they resonated with Berry and knew no one could understand him besides them most likely.

🥕 Despite this belief, Berry does not remember anything but knew he had an older brother but doesn't even remember his name.

🥕 Nightmare was unaware of Berry's existence for a whole two weeks, assuming the boys just bought a dog until one morning he walked in on Berry eating cereal in the living space.

He reluctantly agreed to keeping Berry there

🥕 Overtime Berry met Error who became his 5th honorary dad due to Nightmare's relationship with Error.

🥕 Saejun would become his 6th honorary dad once Murder Time Trio takes him to Farmtale the first time.

🥕 Cross becomes more like a older brother to Berry over time and is why Berry likes tacos. In turn this would make Epic family as well to him

🥕 Ink, Dream, and Fresh would all become his uncles when they went to the anti void and caught Error and Berry watching undernovela.

About Berry in general:

🥕 Berry's timeline is Underswap #33

🥕 Berry does not remember his Papyrus

🥕 The only thing he has left of Papyrus is the bracelet he never takes off

🥕 When the genocide occurred he was 4 years old

🥕 He is 5 years old when the Murder Time Trio kidnap him from the Omega Timeline

🥕 He has ADHD and HPD

🥕 He sleeps in Nightmare's room for the first few months due to not being able to sleep well plus they needed to set him up a bed room

🥕 He can barely read but not write

🥕 Dust calls him Kiddo

🥕 Killer calls him Bunbun

🥕 Horror calls him Bluebell

🥕 When playing pretend they all call him whatever he wishes for that day

🥕 He is home schooled

🥕 His room is space and bunny themed

🥕 He gets agitated if they make him wear anything but his shoes with the paws on the bottom

🥕 He likes watching the boys spar

🥕 He likes bunnies

🥕 He loves space

🥕 His favorite family member is Error because his sneaks him sweets from Underfell

🥕 His least favorite family member is Ink because of his dads

🥕 He hates being alone

🥕 He likes school because his dads make it fun

🥕 He likes to draw a lot

🥕 He loves swimming and water in general

🥕His favorite location is Nightmare's garden

🥕 He loves being read stories

🥕 He loves playing dress up and his dads are more than willing to comply

🥕 He doesn't like talking about what happened because he doesnt remember so it stresses him out

🥕 He loves hide and seek but the paw's on the bottoms of his shoes him away

Family Dynamics

🥕 Nightmare and him have an odd relationship. Think of it like how a dad says they hate the family dog but spoils them. He says he could care less about Berry but spoils him and puts him before the boys. He also reads to Berry a lot and helps him with schooling.

🥕 Error doesn't like kids due to canonically not liking intense emotions such as crying but over time has gotten use to Berry. Also their love of sweets and space sort of helped Error find a way to make him not as upset.

🥕 Killer and Dust are pretty one in the same as Killer isn't to be trusted around Berry due to being a dumbass with knives and Nightmare doesn't want him to accidentally do something stupid on top of how Killers stages can be. Due to this, Dust and Killer are usually with him at the same time and usually watch TV with him and let him watch them fight one another. They also are bad influences on him.

🥕 Horror isn't that keen on kids like Error but that is because I love big Horror so he's more scared he's gonna pull a Mice of Men and accidentally hurt Berry. They do cook together from time to time, mainly just Berry watching. Berry also uses Horror to threaten those he doesn't like LOL

🥕 Cross is like a older brother to Berry, often getting him not to do stupid stuff Killer and Dust try and get him to do. They mainly just chill and Cross is like those two but not as chaotic.

🥕 Epic is just that cool annoying uncle to him, nothing more nothing less

🥕 Fresh is also this but Berry likes Fresh more

🥕 Dream is also like an Aunt to Berry (I love you trans fem dream) and hangs out with Berry if things at Nightmare's gets too chaotic and Nightmare needs at least one kid out of his tendrils. Berry is honestly the reason these two can even be in a room together mainly on Nightmares end since he wants Berry to be better than them. Berry likes Dream's positivity powers though and I like to think she can make little sparkles out of it and he gets excited over it.

🥕 He hates Ink for literally no reason but because his Bad Sans family telling him to LMAO

🥕 Saejun and him have a sweet relationship due to Berry liking bunnies so let's him take care of them if Horror brings him over and they pick berries together (heh).

[delusional-mishaps]

obsessing over a dust sans in the omega timeline GRRRR

just. hes chill. mostly. sorta elderly neighbour who hates the world vibes. very resigned, snappy, goes to pick up his newspaper from the front stoop in his slippers and boxers and a crusty shirt

he's mostly a hermit, no one knows much about him. he doesn't want to get too close to anyone. he doesn't like the other versions of him, his brother, his friends.

he's got hella survivors guilt, mostly because if his world wasn't destroyed, would they be alive? would there have been a reset, a time, eventually, where he didn't have to kill everyone in a screwed up show of justice? where they could live?

he'll never know, and it bothers him. but he tries to pretend it doesn't.

he's sorta half forced to do therapy because yeah he's actually clinically insane and bro needs to be medicated and it helps a bit ig.

he gets a little better. he Is Not Normal but hes better. somewhat.

i kinda like the idea that he adopts a dog, somewhat an emotional support animal??? or like a straight service dog that helps him with panic attacks GRAAHHH THATS SO CUTE GRRRR RHRGRG RRRGGGGRRR

ok normal again

unlike him LMAOO

anyway yeah he probably eventually comes around to hanging out with some others. he's very picky about who he hangs with but..

hear me out okay

cross and dust as besties ❤️❤️

he prob finds epic annoying tho so he doesnt really hang around him

sorry ik im talking abt cross and epic now but theyre my bfs i love them i cant not mention them 😭🙏 me and epic and cross and also dust ultimate power quadruple or wtv

he def wouldnt like CORE at first cuz like. thats frisk. Trauma. but he'll probably come around to them when he realizes they aren't, y'know, a fucking freak. they're probably the reason he got therapy in the first place 😭

whoever his poor therapist is... needs a raise fr 💔

i dont really think he and killer would be friends. maybe hesitant acquaintances..? idk i just dont think theyd vibe when theyre both reformed crazies (affectionate)

i could see him and dream going either way idk like they could be friends or dust couldn't give a gaf about him

he'd probably think dream is kind of annoying with all his hopefulness and joy and whimsey but he's also a certified hater so (so me coded)

"what's there to be happy about" my guy i PROMISE if you stop your edgelord shtick you can be happy too go frolic through a field

he's got hella one-sided beef with error ofc for destroying his world. he doesn't care if it was "falling apart" or if "his story was finished" maybe he could have found a way to bring everyone back

(no he couldnt but dont tell him that)

anyway yea he likes sitting on his porch with a cup of coffee in the morning and he likes yelling "GET OFF MY LAWN!!" at children and he probably plays poker at the bar like every thursday night and hes really fucking good at it.. suspiciously good

his crankiness captivates me...

walking thru the OT and you bump into this fuckass guy who's emotionally attached to wearing his hood up all the time and you always see him smoking whenever you catch a glimpse of him and sometimes you get to see his cute puppy

love at first sight... (you just wanted to pet his puppy)

guys with dogs get all the huzz trust (god why did i type that im cringing)

ok off topic. epic would def say huzz

"rizzing up the huzz 🤓👆" just take ur pants off bro.

OK SORRY i need to log off. (not going to) back to dust

HIS DOG IS SO CUTEEEEEE RHRGGGR sorry i cant stop thinking of him with a dog. it bowls him over when it senses an oncoming panic attack and just kinda lays on his chest and licks his face and digs in his pocket to pull put the tennis ball he keeps in there to distract him

its not actually like a fully trained service dog im ngl but its good at diverting his attention from the panic so. it works ig. man idk

uhm but yea good luck trying to romance him like i said he's hater and itll take a lot of effort

VERY slow burn

idk why im writing this as a little x reader

maybe because in my nonstop thoughts its all been self insert befriending/romancing this fucking loser

dude needs to work on himself before he can even think of romance. im so serious he'll have absolutely zero desire for a relationship until he's mentally stable enough.

he cant go getting attached to someone, especially a partner, if hes just going to go batshit again (his therapist is trying to convince him that wont happen. hes in a safe world. he isnt in danger. he can RELAX)

itll take YEARSSSSS before he's like actually feeling like a normal monster again. his sins weigh heavily on him, but he knows he cant change the past. he wouldn't be alive if he didsnt do what was necessary.

anyway hes real bad at romance when hes finally ready for that stage

like HORRIBLE

he has no fucking clue what the hell he should do. you'll have to hold his hand every damn step of the way.

hes probably freaky tho idk

he likes cuddling you tho. youre all warm and soft and when you lay on him its like a weighted blanket and very very soothing

his bones ache, a lot. so it feels nice.

run that man a nice warm bath with some nice smelling candles or smth and hell make out with you

man idk im literally jst yappin its 4:20 and jm fighting to keep my eyes open 😭😭 ill prob hate this jn the morning but idrc rn ok !!! desire toctalk about omega tlcdust is stranger thanxthe call of sleep

[aguinhac]

There's a phenomenal that I don't know if it's a UT AU community only or not but the longer an au is out there's the more that au changes? Not that it changes but the fandom distorts the au to a point where that change is accepted as canon, Not by the creator of the au, but by the fandom. Error considered edgy or horror a cannibal, it's kinda cool when you think about it, but I think no au this phenomenal has happened this much as with PJ and Gradient

Why don't we play a little game? I'm gonna say two character descriptions and you guess which of these two I'm talking about.

One is a 14 year old and are basically the sans version of a DeviantArt kid, Taking this from their creators blog : "They can't help but create but everything they makes is never good enough or it looks terrible to them. so they will try to delete their work not long after with a few exceptions." And "they are like a 13 year old deviantart user that creates bad recolor characters for under novella and brags that their work is the best while hating it at the same time." they currently live in the omega timeline.

The other is a 24 year old, they should be 21 but they took 3 years to be born so they kinda jumped from 21 to 24, they can alter their form only slightly, for their personality their own creator described them as more monotoned, and less expressive/more serious, though they can open up to individuals over a long period of time, they are still curious about the world around them and can bring child like awe wonder/emotion to specific events/situations, they also do vent art and destroy it not long after.

And their most famous ship is with fresh...

....

IN WHAT WORLD IS GRADIENT 14?? AND WHAT EVEN CRAZIER WORLD IS PAPER JAM 24??? WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT? THE FANDOM TAUGHT ME PJ WAS A UWU BOI, NOT A DEPRESSED ONE. WHAT DID DOCTOR STRANGE FUCK UP SO NOW IN THIS TIMELINE PJ IS OLDER THAN GRADIENT??? I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT IT WAS THE OTHER WAS AROUND.

And I've dug deeper into it, I've dug through the wikis and you wanna know what I found? from the most famous of ink kids (those being Pallete, Gradient, Blueprint, Moku, Paper Jam, and Splatter) Paper jam would actually be the oldest of ink's kids, only losing to Rurik who's also 24 but Rurik is from an Underfell au which in turn makes him IRRELEVANT.

and not only that, gradient would be the penultimate of ink's children, only losing to Splatter who's 12 and maybe in some cases to blueprint considering he doesn't have a canon age and is just between 14-18 but his creator likes to think they are 17 so gradient continues to be the penultimate.

But not only that I have dug deeper, Turns out that gradient and splash are NOT ink's kids, THEY ARE ACTUALLY FUSIONS, GRADIENT HAS NEVER EVEN MET ERROR OR INK.

I feel cheated, I trusted the fandom, and turns out everything they told me was a LIE.

THE FANDOM HAS LIED, AND TRICKED US FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND WE NEVER EVEN SUSPECTED.

@7goodangel @roseworks WOMANS, THESE ARE YOUR CHARACTERS WHAT THE HELL.

Here's where I got the info from...

Gradient's personality (and age)

Gradient is NOT a errorink child

Gradient lives in the omega timeline

Paper Jam's personality

Paper jam does vent art

Paper jam's real age

And as a bonus

Paper Jam's Bio

I'm going back to dreamtale, or the star sanses, I don't care I just don't want any more of this madness.

Just to be clear I'm still gonna do comics with gradient being a errorink child...

I'm so tired... Mentally and phisically... This took so long....

[outboundskelliebros]

This is a part 2 to the name post here!

This was going to be a comic but I changed to a mini fic! With pictures of course!

Thank you a million to @traveling-papyrus and @joypawz for letting me include their skellies, Travelling Papyrus and ABC! I had to have a couple of the friends the bros made included! Also included is @loverofpiggies 's Blueberror cause I love him.

Also, thank you to everyone who suggested names!! Thank you thank you! All the name suggestions really were a big help!

Here are the pictures (and name reveal), and below the read more is the fic!

It was a disaster to swamp all disasters. The truest of catastrophes that could have possibly happened yet. A absoluter, awful, no good-

...

Okay, they had simply just forgotten they needed nicknames. But it wasn’t their fault! They were just so used to not being seen that they didn’t even consider that they would need something to make them stand out now that they were actually being, well, seen.

Like the good, pseudo-biggest brother he was and seeing this as his newest mission to help the Omega Timeline, even if they weren’t actually citizens of the Omega Timeline, Blueberror took to the task of helping them find their own unique names without hesitation. He couldn’t have them wonder around without name! Without purpose!

So, the three hauled coccyx into the not quite little hub the brothers resided in. After a few failed rounds of trying to think something up between just the three of them (The bros had reluctantly turned down Blueberror’s suggestion they they also incoparate Error into their names since they technically do have some error code in them, which was fine! Blueberror couldn't blame them for that. And the two just kept thinking up names that Blueberror knew other Sanses and Papyri had thought up), the brothers had decided to elicit help from...

Them.

Honestly, the time in the anti-void had made Blueberror a little hesitant towards the... voices. Sure, they were some of the only outside contact he had that helped stop him from going... completely crazy but it still brought back a few memories he’d rather push to the furthest part of his skull.

Though, they weren’t quite the same voices Error had but...

Well, in any case. They were admittedly helpful. They had more names to work with but sadly, the brothers still didn’t quite click with any of them. But, it definitely felt like they were getting somewhere. It seems all the space suggestions were resonating with them. And Blueberror was definitely on board with that. Pretty much every Sans and Papyrus he’s met adored the stars, him included, and well, their whole... station here was themed around space.

Still, they needed more help. So the bros decided to ask one more group of people for help. Well, more specifically, skeletons. Of course, it makes most sense for skeletons looking for nicknames to ask for help from other skeletons WITH nicknames! It was a no brainer! Which is good since skeletons didn’t have brains! Blueberror would have to share that one with them later since he knew they liked dumb jokes like that, mweheh.

The two brothers suggested they meet up in the apartment of a couple of new skeletons that made it to the Omega Timeline. Blueberror hadn’t had the chance to talk to them yet but if his sort little brothers wanted them to meet there, who was he to refuse? The two very politely dumped him in front of the other skeleton’s door along with all their work so far and introduced him to the two skeletons. Blueberror wasn’t expecting skeletons from a Lust, or... Lustlust as they explained it, universe but that was no issue! It just meant more friends! Besides, they were pretty welcoming and really nice and that made them good in his book. They introduced themselves as Toots, the Sans and Popie, the Papyrus.

After setting things up and getting to know Toots and Popie, the bros returned, practically shoving a skeleton Blueberror had never seen before through one of their portals that looked so surprised, Blueberror wondered if they just picked her up and brought her right here and bringing in a Papyrus through another of their portals that he... kind of has faint memories of? Things tend to blend together when there were so many of him and his brother running around. Luckily, the bros introduced everyone to everyone. The unique skeleton was named ABC and she seemed a little tense, but friendly! Blueberror tried easing her nerves with a few jokes since who doesn't like jokes but that seemed to make her more tense somehow?? Actually she wasn't the only one... At least his pseudo bros laughed.

And the Papyrus called himself Travelling Papyrus but the bros seemed to like calling him Traveller Pap so Blueberror figured it was fine if he did, too! He figured he’d seen him before!

Thus, the team of six skeletons put their skulls together and got to work on nicknames. Well, they did spend a little more time just hanging out then actually figuring a name out but that’s fine! Because in the end, they finally thought up their names!

...

OB Papyrus (standing on one side of the board): LADY AND GENTLEMONSTERS, I BELIEVE THAT AFTER MUCH DELIBERATION AND PUTTING OUR SKULLS TOGETHER...

OB Sans (perched on Blueberror's shoulders like a canary and vibrating with excitement): WE HAVE FINALLY COME UP WITH OUR SUPER SPECIAL NICKNAMES! DRUMROLL PLEASE!

TravelPap:... PERHAPS YOU SHOULD HAVE WAITED TO WRITE DOWN THE NAMES OR HIDDEN THEM FOR THIS DRAMATIC REVEAL...?

The bros look at each other before using their scarf/cape to cover the board like a curtain and the skeletons on the couch look at each other with various levels of amusement.

Blueberror: INTRODUCING...

The OB bros dramatically pull away their scarf and cape to reveal 'ANDROMEDA & COMET' written on the board

OB Sans: COMET...

OB Papyrus: AND ANDROMEDA!

ABC: Oh! Andromeda is the name of a galaxy, right?

OBSans: SO IS COMET! AND YOU KNOW, COMIC? COMET SANS? ONE OF THE... HM... OVERSEES FROM BEYOND HELPED WITH THAT ONE!

OB Papyrus: SINCE, WE ARE LOTS OF LITTLE PARTS OF DIFFERENT... US'S PUT TOGETHER AND THAT'S WHAT GALAXIES ARE... SORT OF... SO... GALAXY NAMES!

OB Sans: MWEHEH, PRETTY SMART, RIGHT?

LLpapyrus: Well, As One Of The Skeletons Who Helped You Come Up With Those Names, I Agree It Is Smart!

LlSans *fingergun*: ditto. s class names.

TravelPap: YES! THOSE ARE FINE NAMES! AS LONG AS YOUR HAPPY WITH THEM THEN THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS!

ABC: Mmhm! I agree! I’m glad you two finally got them! Not sure if all this work was required-

Comet: OF COURSE!

Andromeda: 1000% REQUIRED! IT LET US THINK IT OVER AND GET TO SHARE THEM WITH ALL OF YOU AS SOON AS WE THOUGHT THEM UP! SO AS YOU CAN TELL, COMPLETELY REQUIRED!

ABC: ... I see. Then... I agree! It was required afterall!

And then they all got to celebrate by hanging out more! The end!

Honestly really happy with these names! I'll probably shorten Andromeda like how people shorten Blueberry to Blue but still!

fav dusttale personal interpretation? as in how u view a dust sans, not the overall AU since that'd include dr megalo. as in, is ur interpretation similar to evans? to stretch's? to canon murder? or is it unique? basically how u view dust and his looks/mannerisms. does he have glowing coloured eyes or is he white pupiled? does he wear a hood or not? is he downbeat 24/7 or not?

Ohhhh now that's a interesting question, and one that might make me many enemies... I like it, let's do it!

Ok, so, basically, the way I see it, is, as with many if not most Sans AUs (With some plausible exceptions, such as Swap, Cross, Ink, Error, Killer, etc) they should have the basic template of Sans. Yes, they've gone through events that change them a lot, but they are still the same person at their core, their entire personality isn't going to change because of tragedy.

So, bearing that in mind, I actually like a lot of what the canon has to say about his character. To my understanding, the canon *does* do something similar in keeping his personality, human-not-withstanding, very much like Sans. He has white pupils when relaxed and not fighting or using magic, he still cracks jokes, he feels horribly guilty over what he's done, and (And correct me if I'm wrong) but I've heard that in canon it's at least a possibility that he helps Core out in the Omega Timeline, as a form of repentance. And I really like that.

On the flip side, there are aspects of fanon that I really enjoy too. I think yeah, he would be pretty miserable a lot of the time, I do think he would keep his hood up, and keep Papyrus's scarf (That last one is a lot more optional, but I have nothing against it), and in a situation where he was forced to work for someone like Nightmare, I love interpretations where he's a bitch the whole time and is very maliciously compliant and tries to run whenever he can. I also enjoy him turning to things like cigarettes or alcohol as a bad coping mechanism, I think it fits pretty well.

As for the events of the actual AU, I do like what the canon has, it's simple and it works well, *However*, there are alternate versions of events that I also really like. I love interpretations that have Sans take action as soon as possible, fighting you wherever and whenever. What I mean by this isn't just having a Sans fight for each area, but rather having him block off paths, lay traps, chase you like Undyne, stuff like that.

I've also seen versions where he pretends everything is normal for a while to catch you off-guard (I don't quite remember what it was, but there was one like this that really caught my interest) and I really like that because it plays into Sans' knowledge of you, as the player, and what you're like. If you know that something has changed, you'll be encouraged, and scour after it. But if you don't know, he can lull you into a comfortable unawareness, until he's finally done what he needs to in order to combat you. By the time you realize what's wrong, it'll have been too late.

I have more thoughts, ideas and details I like, but it should be said, I do like most Dusttale interpretations. I really value what they bring to the table, and what the unique ideas they have and the spins they put on things.

For Dust himself, as a character, particularly outside of his own universe, I'm a bit more picky. In universe, I'm far more willing to excuse being edgy and menacing, he does, quite reasonably, hate you a LOT afterall. But out of universe, in a situation without a human, where he isn't being made to work for Nightmare (The like... 2 works like that that exist lmao) I think his past self as Sans should really shine through. Also, I really am NOT a fan of the interpretations that make him this crazy, LV fueled sadistic serial killer sterotype (*cough* Evan's Dusttale *cough*). He is, yet again, still Sans, and he's not exactly happy about what he's doing and how things are going.

But yeah, that's the gist of it. Feel free to correct me if I got something wrong, or to tell me about other takes on Dusttale, or ideas for Dust/Murder's character you like (Also love calling him Murder. Honestly prefer it, I'm just more used to calling him Dust because everyone does. They're almost two different people in my mind kind of. Murder being more canon accurate, and like what I described, Dust being the traditional one you see in like... Bad Sans Gang stuff)

Mmmmmmmmmm new AU idea based on Dreamtale’s neutral ending.

Tw for death

Nightmare’s gang is doing whatever they do to spread negativity in an au, and the Stars intercept them when they’ve almost finished. Not that it matters much, because during the battle Nightmare says something and Dream snaps. Everyone needs to get back as Dream finally ignores that they’re brothers and fights back for real. The twin’s duel becoming just as destructive as Error is. Going at it with no holding back on either end, Dream gets the advantage and kills Nightmare. The grief hits him as quick as his arrows did, and Dream fused the shattered parts of Nightmare’s soul into his own quickly shattering one. When the dust settles there’s an empty world, with only grass and a small sappling, one surrounded by dust and twin circlets.

With Nightmare and Dream dead, Nightmare’s gang doesn’t really have a reason to keep terrorising aus, meaning the Stars don’t have a reason to stick together (other then friendship because Ink would not abandon his friends). Ink ferries the gang back to Nightmare’s castle and Swap back to Underswap, then goes to tell everyone the news.

Nightmare is dead. The end of his terror is cause to celebrate. But they’re also celebrating Dream’s death, and Ink hates it. How could they celebrate the death of one who wore himself to the bone to help them? He doesn’t enter the omega timeline anymore, switching between hiding with Error in the antivoid and with Swap in Underswap, making sure to stay hidden when he checks on aus. He and Swap team up again to convince Error to leave the abandoned AU alone, as a memorial for the twins.

The gang isn’t doing much better. Sure they have everything they could ever need, Nightmare always was a mother hen, but they don’t have Nightmare and it’s killing them. They have a funeral in the garden, because who else would?

A year after the twin’s death, Ink brings everyone back to the AU at their requests. Someone brings a picket basket, someone brings drinks, and a few of them bring flowers. They have a tense picnic and reminisce. Most, if not all, of the au’s are too busy celebrating to morn, so they can finally morn in peace.

After their picnic they go back to the tree sapling to find it’s gotten bigger, much bigger than a normal tree does in a year. Either Killer or Ink jokes that someone should guard the tree, like Dream and Nightmare did, and Swap thinks that’s a great idea actually.

After some debate, the Stars and the Gang move into the abandoned AU, keeping an eye on the tree while making the world generally inhabitable.

The years pass, the Stars and the Gang become solid friends. They do let a few more people move into the AU, one’s that they agree on and can trust completely with the knowledge that one wrong move towards the tree will get you kicked out.

And the tree grown, towering over houses and other trees alike.

And the tree blooms for the first time, Brilliant Gold and Inky Black fruits hanging from it’s new branches.

And as the base of the tree, they find two baby skeletons.

Multiverse Madness Chapter Fifty One

After visiting Ink's adopted parents, Dream started looking into the AUs that had participated in the sieges, Error tracing the monsters' codes back to their AUs. He didn't transport them back, as something had prevented him from doing so- probably Bill -but he did help look for connections between the AUs. The Underfell AU attacked them once they saw them, the Fellswap doing the same, the Predatortale was something they didn't have to investigate much, but the Gaster was dead, and the Sans was nowhere to be seen, his code registering somewhere not in Predatortale or in Underswap, which Dream didn't know how to feel about, and the Axetale....

Most of the monsters there were in Candytale, feasting on the AU with an insatiable hunger, and that Sans wasn't registering in Candytale or Axetale either. Something was blocking Error from tracing the codes, which again pointed towards Bill. When Dream investigated Axetale further, dust had been spread throughout the Papyrus's room, signs of a monster funeral, and there weren't many monsters here, most of them too far gone in the plague of this world to be rational... Except for one soul.

Dream traced it, recognizing it as a human, and he knew which human they probably were. He hurried there, seeing that he was right. He saw a teenage human girl, with brown hair that went mid-way down her back, blue eyes, and light tan skin. She was wearing a pink hoodie with a beige hood, hoodie strings, and sleeve cuffs, blue jeans, pink sneakers, and a black backpack.

She looked at him in surprise and confusion, and she asked, "Sans? You look.... different than how my mom described..."

"oh, no! my name's dream." Dream informed.

From what he knew about this variant, since Ink told him about practically every AU, the Sans and Frisk had been best friends, Frisk went up to the surface, and was unable to return to the Underground. She'd been a descendant of a powerful wizard though, and they'd fallen in love, and Frisk had died when she gave birth to her daughter, and her father died later on in a car crash. They'd been working on a way to get through the barrier, but they hadn't accomplished it. This girl, Aliza, was probably here following her mother's journals, trying to free the Underground and find Sans, especially since Frisk had named Sans as Aliza's god parent, but unfortunately the Sans wasn't here due to Nightmare's interference.

"Oh, sorry. Do you know where I can find him?" Aliza asked.

"i unfortunately don't. a lot has happened here, and i don't know where he is. it's not safe here, though; it's dangerous. it's different from when your mom was here."

"Yeah, it seems... not at all what she described..." Aliza looked off to the side, then back at Dream.

"i can get you somewhere safe, though?" Dream offered, "and i can explain what's going on, too?"

". . . It can't be much worse than here, or at my gramma's..." Aliza mumbled, looking off to the side before looking back at him, "Where are we going exactly?"

"it's called the omega timeline. i'm from the multiverse which, another explanation, but the omega timeline is a safe place." Dream informed.

". . . . . Ok... And you can help me find Sans too?" Aliza asked.

"i will." Dream nodded.

What side the Sans would be on, he wasn't sure... He would probably recognize Frisk's characteristics in Aliza, and the timeline's script was still premade in him to the point of it being instinctual to want to protect her. She was his last link to his best friend, and he would do anything to protect her, and she would in the end seek him out no matter where he was. Axetale Sanses were pure at heart, or well, soul, so maybe he would make the right choice, and if he was with Nightmare, he would turn against him, and stay with Aliza in the Omega Timeline. 

"Then let's go." Aliza decided, and Dream nodded, teleporting them both to the Omega Timeline.

Shattered was thinking about who he would recruit next, thoughtful, and he felt Ink stir next to him. His eyelight flicked down to look at Ink as he slowly woke up, eye sockets cracking open before his white eyelights looked up at him. Ink had slept for around eight hours, something that was a bit surprising, and annoying, as Shattered had things to do, but the control it gave him over Ink was well worth it. Besides, it gave him plenty of time to scheme and plan.

"good morning, ink. sleep well?" Shattered smiled, looking down at him, and he nodded a bit.

"yeah, i did. good morning, boss." Ink replied, and he started to sit up, groaning a bit as he did.

"did you not heal all the way?" Shattered questioned.

"no, i did, boss. i'm just sore." Ink responded, "fresh kicked my coccyx yesterday."

Shattered noted how Ink wasn't acting, likely feeling too tired to do so, or his freshly awoken mind hadn't remembered yet.

"you're not acting, ink?" Shattered asked.

"sorry, boss." Ink apologized, sounding regretful, and Shattered smirked.

"it's fine, don't worry. you were tired, that's all." Shattered reassured, and Ink nodded a bit.

Ink moved to lay down again, looking up at Shattered with his skull in his lap, and he questioned, "what's on the agenda today?"

"well, i've been thinking about who to recruit next." Shattered answered, "but i can't find someone who would both willingly join me and would be useful..."

"it has to be willing, boss?" Ink asked.

"that was the ide. why do you ask?" Shattered responded.

"i was unwilling when you recruited me." Ink mentioned, "you can be persuasive."

"i can, can't i?~" Shattered smirked, "very well. who do you recommend?"

"well, one of the stronger ones off of the top of my mind is the sans from malfratale." Ink answered, "he might be useful for you, if you manage to persuade him."

Shattered smirked, remembering Ink telling him about the AU, and he replied, "i'll look into it. in the mean time, i need you to get your strength up, the next attacks are in a few days, remember?"

Ink nodded a bit, and he replied, "can do, boss; i'll eat some breakfast. will the new sans need some too?"

"he might; make sure it's healing food in case he puts up a fight." Shattered instructed, and Ink nodded.

Ink got up, sitting up with a wince before sliding off of the bed, landing on his feet before heading to the door.

He paused, looking back at Shattered and saying, "the new outfit looks good, boss."

Shattered smirked, pleased, and he replied, "thank you, ink."

Ink nodded, heading out of the room, and Shattered dissolved into a swirl of black goop, shooting through the ceiling and heading out into the multiverse. He searched around the AUs, looking through the AUs and their timelines for the perfect one for what he needed, and after a bit of searching, he found it. He'd give the Sans a chance to work for him willingly, otherwise he would opt for... more extreme methods of getting what he wanted. He found the Sans in the snowy forest around the Snowdin of his world, and Shattered was quick to be noticed.

The skeleton was wearing a black hoodie with a gray hood, gray sleeves with two purple stripes on the upper arms, and there was a broken upside-down purple heart on his chest. Under the hoodie was a gray turtleneck, and he also wore black sweatpants with a white stripe down each side, a chain attached on the left side of his pants' waistband, black fingerless gloves, and purple sneakers. His right eye socket had two red scars over it, like he'd been scratched, and the eye socket held a red diamond eyelight, and his left was a red circle with a purple circle around it.

"who are you?" The Sans questioned, already on guard.

"someone who has an offer for you." Shattered smirked.

"i'll pass." He refused, and Shattered blinked.

"you- you didn't even hear what my offer was yet!" Shattered pointed out.

"i don't need to." The skeleton responded.

"why not??" Shattered demanded, "even if i don't have good intentions towards most, don't pretend you're not quite the little scoundrel."

"because i can tell you're bad news, and sure, i might not exactly be on good terms with the law, but you're on another level of bad." The Sans replied.

"oh am i? i'm flattered." Shattered smirked, "does this mean you'll join me out of fear?"

"nah, just take... whatever you're planning... away from here." The Sans refused a second time.

"what i'm planning? what i'm planning is to convince you to join me. you're quite powerful, and you could be quite the asset." Shattered told him, "i'm not leaving until you say yes."

"still, no." The skeleton shot him down, and Shattered frowned.

Shattered shot a tentacle forward, slamming into his chest and pinning him to a tree, and he approached him. The skeleton struggled, summoning sharp bones and Gaster Blasters, but Shattered dealt with them effortlessly. Tentacles extended out from the ground, wrapping around the Gaster Blasters and squeezing, snuffing them out of existence, and the bones were dealt with the same way.

"i wish you'd accepted my offer instead of refusing; it's quite inconvenient." Shattered told him.

"find... someone else!" The Sans told him, straining as Shattered wrapped a tentacle around his throat.

"see that's the thing, i don't want to. you have a lot of fight in you, and that'll be very useful to me." Shattered smirked, plunging another tentacle into the skeleton's ribcage.

He gasped in pain as Shattered wrapped the tendril around his soul, pulling it out of his chest. Shattered retracted the tentacle, moving it to his hand, cupping it as it floated in his palm. With one swift movement the monster would be dead, a pile of dust, but he was lucky Shattered had a use for him.

"g-go to hell!" The Sans spat.

"unwise words to someone who holds your very essence in his hand." Shattered responded, closing his hand a bit, fingers grazing over the upside-down heart, and the skeleton hissed in pain, "i tried being nice, you know. you could join my team, be important to the fate of the multiverse itself. that is what my offer was; for you to become a multiversal criminal. you'd like it."

"i'm not joining your damn gang... i learned my lesson not to trust offers like that the first time around..." The skeleton glared.

"hmm... perhaps, but i believe i can give you a new perspective." Shattered grinned.

"how the hell- urgh!" He doubled over as much as he could from where he was restrained, Shattered sinking his magic into the soul.

Tendrils extended up from his palm, radiating amber magic, and they wrapped and coiled around the white soul. The sharp tips stabbed into it's surface like needles, something Shattered knew probably hurt, and he seeped his magic into it. He took control over his soul, despite it's resistance, and he made the skeleton feel intense loyalty towards him. He brought out his negative aspects, burying the positive, and he especially took control over his hate.

The white soul turned black, an amber glow around it, then it returned to being white as Shattered hid his magic's presence, and he released it from the tendrils before letting it return to the Sans's chest. His breathing was labored and pained, and his eyelights had gone from a vibrant red to a malevolent dark orange, black liquid seeping from his eye sockets. Shattered let him drop to the ground with a soft thump, and he watched as his soul adjusted to the magic that now corrupted it. It took a few minutes for him to gain his bearings, but once he did, he looked up at Shattered, a smirk growing on his face.

"did you reconsider my offer?" Shattered asked.

"yeah.... i'm in..." The Sans replied, and Shattered helped him up.

He rubbed at his skull, likely in pain, and Shattered mentioned, "you're going to need an alias, though, as there are other versions of you, and you need to be able to be distinguished from them."

"you called me scoundrel before... how about that?" The Sans suggested, and Shattered smirked, nodding in approval.

"scoundrel it is, then. welcome to the team." Shattered grinned, Scoundrel grinning back, and Shattered teleported them to his castle.

Sure, he could've handled things... a bit differently, but Ink had recommended this Sans variant, and Shattered didn't want to track down another one. Besides, Shattered wanted him on his side, and when Shattered wanted something, he ensured he would get it, that included this skeleton on his team. Sure, manipulating was fun, but Scoundrel had so much fight in him, and he wouldn't let his guard down; even now he wouldn't, not without Shattered taking complete control over his mind, which he was avoiding right now. He could still manipulate Scoundrel with his magic in his mind; he'd been doing that to Ink for weeks. It wouldn't take long for Scoundrel to be a perfect pawn, which is exactly what Shattered wanted.

Geno was trying to sleep, and despite it being the middle of the night, he couldn't get a wink of rest. Ever since the attack a couple days ago, things had been tense. The monsters from that other AU had been present in the city, even with Player leaving a clone here in order to try dealing with things, and while Geno and the others had tried fighting them, it wasn't effective. They were stuck here, but they weren't attempting to coexist, which Geno didn't expect them to.

They were here to cause problems; to spread negativity and chaos and pain. They were here willingly to hurt everyone they could, at least from what Geno could tell. If they were here for something more, he wasn't sure, but he wasn't focused on that right now. What he was focused on was protecting those he cared about, and he was doing a pretty good job at that.

Undyne had them in a safehouse outside of the city; actually near the top of Mt. Ebott, and it was out of the line of fire. Most of the monsters had taken to securing the city, where most of the population was, and Geno had seen some patrols along the mountains. It was all Royal Guard, or at least monsters with Royal Guard training from what Undyne had observed, and they ranged from relatively easy to beat or avoid, or they required running instead of trying to fight them. Geno didn't like running from fights; he preferred to stay and hold his own in situations like this, and it pissed him off to have to hide from people trying to hurt his friends and family.

It was perfectly rational to want to protect them; to eliminate those threats, and Geno knew that. He couldn't get rid of those monsters, though, not with how powerful some of them were, and he couldn't fight them on his own, since most of the time he left by himself to try and get a better idea of the situation. He kept the others inside of the safehouse the best he could, by either lying, not telling them he was leaving, and when that failed, Sans being the main one to figure him out, he just teleported out of the building so that he couldn't be followed. Sans never said anything to Undyne, Asgore, Toriel, or Alphys, and definitely not to Papyrus, and he only confronted Geno on it directly, which he appreciated, but he still wished he could evade Sans better.

Unfortunately Sans had figured him out a long while ago, so any hopes of that happening had been squashed like a bug on Papyrus's car's windshield as it sped down the highway. It felt much longer than a few days, but they'd been very long days, and they'd been exhausting as well. Especially with him currently being unable to sleep, which could be from the stress, or from his mind almost being taken over during the attack. That was still.... Geno didn't know how to handle that.

Those feelings hadn't gone away, the effects hadn't worn off, and if he wasn't black and white with a glitching x blocking his vision, he'd think he was being influenced, but that was ridiculous. It was just taking longer, that was it! The fact that it still hadn't worn off still concerned Geno regardless, making his staring at the ceiling in hopes of passing out even less productive, and he sighed. He gave up, getting out of bed, detangling the blankets from his feet before he could be tripped by them, and he started pacing in front of the window.

The room itself was pretty plain, with a bed, two nightstands, a desk, wardrobe, a chair, and a lamp on each nightstand. The windows had curtains to prevent visibility into the room when they were closed, but Geno opened them, letting some moonlight stream into the room. He was suddenly aware of someone teleporting into his room, and he whirled around, and upon seeing it was Cross, his first reaction normally would've been to form attacks, but he felt something in his mind preventing him from doing so. So Geno stood there, on edge, especially from how Cross's red eyelights were burning into him. Cross walked forward, Geno tense but not hostile, and Cross spoke up.

"You can relax, you know." Cross informed, his voice odd, but Geno couldn't place why, "I'm not going to hurt you, all I want is to talk."

"you want to talk after what happened in the city?" Geno questioned.

"I think we can both agree those were... difficult circumstances. I had someone there I care about, and you had someone there you care about." Cross mentioned, "I didn't want my teammate and friend to get hurt."

"i felt that... in my head, after you tried getting in there..." Geno mumbled, half wondering why he was telling him this.

"Huh, I thought something like that was happening when I accessed soul codes..." Cross mused thoughtfully, glancing off to the side before looking back at Geno, "No hard feelings about that? It's not like it'll be happening again."

"why not?" Geno questioned.

"Because we already got what we wanted from your timeline, and the other Royal Guard is causing negativity to the point that we don't need to attack this place again." Cross replied, "It's not like my teammates are out of danger, though. The rest of the multiverse is still a threat."

Geno... the idea of Cross or his teammates getting hurt.... bothered him for some reason. It scratched something in his mind uncomfortably, like he didn't want them hurt even though the last time they'd been here they'd hurt Classic, Undyne, and his timeline. The timeline wouldn't be attacked by them now, though. Cross said so himself, it was just that evil Royal Guard, Cross and his teammates had nothing to do with them. Why was Geno trusting what Cross told him?... Geno wasn't sure, but it didn't feel like Cross would lie to him.

"you said the rest of the mulltiverse is a threat?" Geno asked.

"Yep. We've actually got another attack coming up tomorrow, and who knows what could happen on those missions." Cross mentioned.

That wrongness came back again, twice as powerful as before, and Geno couldn't get it out of his head. That need to protect them was too strong; too overpowering. He... he felt like he needed to do something about it. Geno tried once again to shake it out of his skull, but the feeling stayed firmly planted.

"You ok?" Cross questioned.

"i'm fine." Geno responded, trying to reassure him for a reason he didn't understand.

"You don't like the idea of them getting hurt either, do you?" Cross observed, and Geno looked off to the side, "Maybe you can help prevent that from happening?"

"how?" Geno was confused, he would say he was confused if he was asked, but he knew he wanted to know because he wanted to help. 

"Well, that human; Player, they're still here, right?" Cross mentioned, and Geno nodded.

"yeah?..." Geno verified.

"Well, talk to them about joining up with the Stars; see if you can get in with them." Cross told him, and Geno blinked.

"isn't that counterproductive?" Geno asked.

"Not if you're not trying to hurt us. If we get in a pinch and you're there to help, you can. Think of it like being a double-agent. You can gain their trust, gain information on their plans, and you can write it down on a piece of paper and slip it to one of us secretly during a battle. You could keep everyone safe, and I'll look into helping those you care about with those troops." Cross explained, and Geno thought it over.

So much of his mind was in agreement with the plan, feeling that need to keep them safe, and there was only a small part in disagreement. Geno didn't think that that part was important, though, not with how small it was, so he ignored it.

"i can do that." Geno agreed, and Cross walked over to him.

Geno felt his spine tense instinctively, even though he felt calm inside. Cross had made it clear he wouldn't hurt him, and they'd made an agreement that seemed perfectly logical and fair to Geno. A glitching white 'x' appeared over his eye sockets before it vanished again, nothing seeming different, and Geno looked at him in confusion.

"It keeps empaths from noticing anything about your motivations or plans. It seems like you want to go after us and are an enemy to us, but you aren't. Just to protect you." Cross explained, and Geno nodded a bit.

"thanks." Geno thanked him, surprised but approving of the quick thinking and preparations for the worst case scenarios.

"Of course. We're on the same side, and we have to look out for each other. Oh, that reminds me." Cross reached into one of his pockets and grabbing a black phone, handing it to Geno, who accepted it, "This phone has all of our numbers on it."

"how did you guys know i'd agree to help?" Geno questioned.

"My boss is an empath, he figured you'd wanna help." Cross shrugged.

"that... makes sense..." Geno accepted.

These guys had still attacked his timeline in the past, why was he trusti- A glitching white 'x' appeared over his eye sockets again, and the thought cut itself off before he forgot about it entirely. Of course Cross was trustworthy; he had no reason to lie to him. His timeline was safe now, they wouldn't hurt him or those he cared about, and he would help Cross protect the people he cared about.

He didnt want them hurt, even though he didn't fully understand why, and that urge to protect them was powerful, and he couldn't ignore it. They were allies now, he should care if they got hurt or not, and he did. He just felt how much Cross cared earlier, and now hx caxxd txo. The glitching white 'x' Geno hadn't even noticed appear vanished again, flickering out of existence and settling into the back of his mind in soft static.

"So, do you think you can get in on the attack tomorrow? Watch our backs?" Cross asked, and of course Geno could.

"yeah, i can do that." Geno nodded.

"You can hurt whoever you're fighting, just not too bad, and make it for theatrics." Cross informed.

Why was he taking orders from-? The glitching white 'x' reappeared, and the thought vanished without a trace. The static reappeared as the 'x' vanished, and Geno blinked, unsure of what he'd been thinking, before he nodded to Cross's instructions.

"yeah, that's easy. should i still use the paper or should i text you guys stuff when i get the chance?" Geno questioned.

"That'll work, just be careful about it." Cross nodded, and his phone chimed, "They're asking if you can help tomorrow."

"yeah, count me in." Geno nodded, looking down at the phone, and when he looked up, Cross was gone.

Geno pocketed the black phone before pulling out the one Player gave him, and he called them.

"Geno? What're you doing up this late? Everything ok?" Player asked, answering after a few moments.

"yeah, i'm ok. i was just wondering if i could help with the darks." Geno responded.

"I thought you said you wanted to stay back and protect your friends and family?" Player questioned. 

He'd said that? He probably had, but he didn't remember.

"i changed my mind. the best way to protect them is taking the fight to the damn darks, right?" Geno responded.

Player was quiet for a moment before saying, "Alright, yeah. I'll talk with Dream and see if we can get you filled in on everything going on."

"that would be awesome, thanks." Geno accepted.

"You're welco- drat!" Explosions rang out over the phone, and Player hung up.

Now all he had to do was wait.

[laughhardrunfastbekindsblog]

All through season 3, I was looking for reasons to let go of Tech, but hope just wouldn't die and until the finale I still thought there was a chance Tech would turn out to be alive and well. Even with this hope I found it... odd... that the show skipped over the inevitable conversation between Omega and Crosshair with Crosshair learning what happened to Tech. So I wrote this just a few days after the season 3 premiere and posted it to AO3 since I didn't have tumblr at the time. I'm posting it here now, mostly because the past few days this blog has turned into one of my ways of fully processing Tech's death.

NOTE: the first two sections are scenes directly from the show. I included them to clarify the timeline of events and add some detail as to what I imagine was informing Crosshair's thoughts and remarks during the second scene in particular.

Revelation

“Crosshair!”

No. It couldn’t be.

“Crosshair?”

He must still be dreaming, stuck in the nightmare…

“Crosshair?”

The voice sounded just like Omega, but that would mean Omega was here. And if Omega were here, that would mean his brothers…

“You must be Omega.” He knew that voice, and Emerie Karr’s statement removed all doubt.

“What did you do to Crosshair?” he heard Omega reply.

“He’s recovering. I tried to warn him what would happen if he did not cooperate with the doctor….”

He kept his eyes closed, feigning continued unconsciousness, wishing he had never awoken.

**********

“Crosshair. I tried to come earlier, but there were too many guards watching me.”

Crosshair sighed. He had noticed Omega’s attempts to catch his attention when they passed each other in the halls, and had deliberately ignored her. He couldn’t very well do so now. “You shouldn’t be down here at all.”

“Well, how else are we gonna plan an escape?”

Where did the kid get her unfailing optimism? But hope was useless here – worse than useless. Best to disabuse her of any fanciful notions before she was crushed any further by the weight of disappointment. “There is no ‘we,’” he replied curtly as he sat up to face her, “and there is no escape. I’ve already tried.”

He wouldn’t tell her the details of what had happened: that the primary objective of his “escape attempt” had been to warn his brothers about the danger they and Omega were in. Omega hadn’t yet told him whether the message had been received, and Crosshair had no inclination to broach the subject. Believing he had failed in getting the message to his brothers was easier to stomach than knowing the message had been delivered yet still yielded this outcome.

Thankfully, Omega didn’t probe for details – she was still too focused on the prospect of freedom. “Every stronghold has a weak point,” she was saying now, before adding thoughtfully, “Maybe I can convince Emerie to help. She’s one of us.”

No. This had to be nipped in the bud. If Crosshair managed to teach the kid anything, it had to be this, the one crucial lesson that was even more important than learning that hope was pointless. “Not every clone is your ally,” he warned her firmly. “You trust too easily.”

Omega looked taken aback for only a second before resisting the lesson. “Maybe you don’t trust enough,” she retorted.

Crosshair wished he could think of precisely what to say to convince her of her errors in judgment, but his hand started shaking… Blast, he thought as he gripped his hands together, hoping Omega hadn’t noticed.

“Crosshair?” she said gently; and he knew she had noticed. Yet more proof that hope was useless.

He wouldn’t let her see any more. He didn’t need any more reminders of his shortcomings, his failures, his mistakes, his losses. If he couldn’t teach the kid just how futile it was to hope and trust, maybe he could at least convince her to stop doing things that would put her in more danger. “Just… go, before you make things worse for both of us.”

Omega hesitated only briefly before turning to leave, and Crosshair thought that maybe he had succeeded – but then she spoke once more. “There has to be a way out of here,” she said, determination adding a layer of steel to her tone. “I’ll find it.”

**********

“You’re awake,” she said cheerfully as she sat cross-legged on the floor.

Crosshair didn’t reply, only fixed her with a sullen stare that did nothing to dampen her spirits.

“No one said anything after I came here last time, so I think I might be able to keep visiting you,” Omega went on. “Of course, we’ll have to be discreet when discussing some topics…”

He couldn’t ignore her when he was stuck in a cell, and she was going to keep visiting… “Why are you here?”  he cut in sharply.

Omega paused mid-sentence, the slight crease that appeared on her forehead attesting to her confusion even as she gamely shifted topics. “I… well, I don’t have an escape plan yet, but I thought I could…”

“No,” he brusquely interrupted her again, waving his arm to gesture toward the hallway in an attempt to make his meaning clear. “Why are you here, on Tantiss?”

“The Empire captured me,” she answered in a low voice. “I think they want me to make Nala Se cooperate with them.”

Crosshair growled in frustration at the kid again missing the meaning of his query – he had to know, but that wouldn’t make the knowledge any easier to bear. He tried one more time, “What happened?”

Omega went perfectly still, and Crosshair’s heart sank. This is precisely why he had avoided asking about his brothers’ fates; but not knowing meant he could only imagine the worst possibilities. He didn’t let a shred of emotion show on his face, however, as his sister finally moved to reposition herself so she was no longer directly facing him, instead sitting in profile, gazing down the hallway as she wrapped her arms around her knees.

“We… Tech was going through some intel for Echo when he found out you were captured, and then he found the message you sent to warn us. We were trying to track Hemlock’s ship so we could find you. We knew Hemlock would be meeting with Tarkin on Eriadu, so we infiltrated the base to place a tracker on his ship. But…” she faltered, then everything spilled out in a flood of words. “Everything went wrong. We tried to escape, but there was an explosion at the base that left us trapped in a rail car with Imperial troops and ships attacking us. Tech was on the rail line to fix the car and he tried to make it back, but the car was breaking in half and falling off the track, and then the added weight…” Her voice broke, and she took a shuddering breath before soldiering on, “Tech fell, he severed the connection to the broken half of the car and he wouldn’t let us save him…”

The words were like shrapnel ripping through his heart. Hemlock seemed to think the interrogation droids were one of the most effective means of inflicting pain; the experiments were mentally and physically relentless, excruciating, exhausting; but this… This was true torture.

Omega had paused in an effort to regain her composure, wrapping her arms ever more tightly around her knees in an effort to stop shaking. Determinedly looking at the floor, she continued her story, her voice cutting through the void of Crosshair’s bereavement and bringing him back to the current situation with a painful jolt. The way she was rushing and stammering through her story, Crosshair could tell this was the first time she was really thinking about it, the first time she was allowing herself to relive the tragedy, reopening the painful wounds of this memory just so she could satiate his need to know.

He didn’t want to know any more – the worst thing he’d imagined had happened to one of his brothers. But he couldn’t manage to speak, couldn’t beg Omega to stop talking…

“Tech’s repairs worked, the car started moving, but we crashed and… I don’t remember much after that… I woke up and Hunter and Wrecker and I had all been bandaged up by AZI. Then Hemlock found us. Hunter told me to run, but I couldn’t leave them.” Omega’s chin was shaking so hard Crosshair wasn’t sure how she was managing to still speak so clearly. “Hemlock captured Wrecker and Hunter, and I tried to stop him, but one of his guards stunned me and I woke up on Hemlock’s ship.” She paused again; Crosshair, outwardly still and silent as stone, inwardly reeling from pain and shock, only peripherally noticed her bring her hand to her cheek to wipe away tears. “I had sent AZI to get Echo, though, so maybe Hunter and Wrecker managed to escape.”

The flash of relief upon hearing that Hunter and Wrecker and Echo might still be alive disappeared almost before Crosshair felt it, suppressed under the massive weight of sudden loss.

Tech.

Crosshair had always pretended to be even more annoyed than the others when Tech spouted off three datapads’ worth of information on the most mundane topics, but secretly he had been fascinated by how smart his brother was, how Tech not only knew the information but could seamlessly apply it to improve almost any situation. Hunter was the one with heightened senses, but Tech sometimes seemed even more skilled than Hunter in knowing exactly what Crosshair needed without Crosshair needing to say a word – and, being the most reticent member of the group, Crosshair couldn’t say he ever minded.

That was the thing about Tech: when it came to any given topic – including his brothers – Tech didn’t just know, he understood.

Crosshair didn’t have Tech’s skill in this area, but he knew and understood his brother well enough to fill in the details himself. Omega had said Tech had been the one to discover Crosshair’s imprisonment and the message, which meant Tech would have been the one to bring the fact to the squad’s attention, comb through intel that led to the discovery of Hemlock’s existence, and join the push for a rescue mission to be mounted despite the warning the message conveyed.

Omega and Crosshair now sat in silence for what may have been hours, may have been seconds – he would never be able to tell – before Omega spoke again. Despite the tears still silently falling down her face, her voice took on its signature hopeful note. “Maybe we can…”

‘Maybe’ was dangerous territory, and Crosshair – sick to his stomach, burning with regret and shame, broken and empty with no recourse available to him – could not let Omega continue. Tech was dead, and Crosshair could not allow himself to entertain the idea that maybe his remaining brothers were actually okay. ‘Maybe’ meant hope. Hope meant more pain.

“No,” he said, so sharply that Omega finally turned to look at him. The sight of her tear-streaked yet resolute face only deepened his agony. “No more plans. Can’t you see? It’s over.”

“But if Hunter and Wrecker escaped, that would mean…”

“NO,” he said again, glaring at the kid.

He wasn’t going to say anything else; but suddenly a sentence from Omega’s story struck home - we were trying to track Hemlock’s ship so we could find you – and his thoughts, his deepest regret, took form in words and slipped through his mouth before he could stop himself. “I told you to run. I told you all to hide. Why didn’t you hide?”

Omega’s eyes softened, and her sympathy made him drop his gaze to the floor. “Because we’re a squad,” she replied softly, “we’re family, and we don’t leave anyone behind.”

“Look where that got you,” Crosshair retorted bitterly. Look where that got Tech, he thought.

Footsteps sounding in a distant hallway seemed to remind Omega that she did not have unlimited time to spend on visits, and she hurriedly wiped her face again as she got to her feet. She didn’t immediately depart, however; and Crosshair, feeling her gaze on him, refused to look up.

“You’re worth the risk, Crosshair,” she said simply. “Tech thought so too.”

He remained as he was, staring at the floor, numb and broken and alone, long after she had gone.

**********          

“Crosshair? Are you awake?”

He gave a prolonged sigh in an effort to cover the fact that a tiny part of him was actually glad she had come to visit – it had been several weeks since the last one, and he had started to wonder if she had been outright forbidden from seeing him. “What does it matter? You’re going to talk anyway.”

She hesitated briefly. “If you need to rest, I can come back later…”

He groaned a little as he sat up – this round of experiments was leaving him increasingly sore, but he would never admit this to anyone, least of all Omega: she would spend the entire visit fretting about him. “It’s fine. I’m already awake.”

She regarded him for several long seconds before kneeling in front of his cell. “Sorry it took so long for me to come back. Nala Se kept giving me additional assignments. I think that phase of experimentation is over now. They don’t tell me much about what the experiments are, though.” She was quiet for a moment, before continuing, “I like taking care of the hounds a lot more than helping in the lab. Batcher is finally warming up to me – she doesn’t try to bite me anymore when I feed her. Oh, K9X1 finally told me a little more about the hounds…”

Crosshair listened as Omega continued talking about all the details she had learned about the species – their origins, development, life cycle, characteristics, and more – and wondered why he felt such a bittersweet ache in his chest…

Omega’s chatter reminded him of Tech.

Identifying the cause made the ache grow more potent, and Crosshair almost snapped at Omega to leave so he could busy himself with forgetting the tragedy. Over the past few weeks, he had thought he had come to terms with the loss of his brother – the shame, regret, and emptiness no longer felt like they would completely consume him – but in moments like these the pain would return in full force, and it was almost too much to bear.

And yet – right now, the ache wasn’t just bitterness and sorrow. There was a hint of solace, a touch of comfort, the warmth of nostalgia and happy memories, that took the edge off the pain. And, somehow, this comfort came from Omega.

Despite what Omega had said, he knew he didn’t deserve the risk his squad had taken for him. Tech shouldn’t have died for him, Omega shouldn’t have been captured because of him, the others shouldn’t be facing dangers unknown because of him. Knowing this, he wouldn’t let anyone else take such a risk for him again.

But Omega was feeling the loss of Tech just as much as he was. She had lost her brother, just as he had.

Crosshair wouldn’t encourage her insane ideas of the both of them managing to escape together; but if these visits made her current captivity easier to bear, he wouldn’t send her away.

Resting his forehead on his hands, he sat and listened to his sister.

YOUR GIANT STAR GOD BLUEBERROR AU IS SO COOL!!! I have some questions >:)

1) Has he interacted with Error? HOW DID IT GO??!!?!

2) Is he in his own AU in the multiverse, does he exist in someone else’s AU, or is he just outside the multiverse? (MAY BE A BIG STRETCH, BUT IT WOULD BE SO COOL IF YOU COULD SEE HIM IN THE SKY IN OUTERTALE—KIND OF LIKE A CONSTELLATION WHERE YOU SEE SOME STARS AND GO, “Ah yes, and that’s the Blueberror constellation!!”)

3) Are he and Ink actually close as friends, or is Ink just like a caretaker who comes and visits every so often?

Sorry if that’s a lot, you don’t have to answer them all :)

Omg it's my first ask

Dw abt it being a lot I'm very joyus abt this. It is not a lot actually I had most of these kinda thought out, this ask just makes me expand on ideas which is really helpful because I am not creative or motivated enough to do things on my own

1. He HAS! A LOT! They have an odd relationship. Error knows what he did, he knows HE'S the one that fucked Blueberror up, but like. Blueberror doesn't. Berror always feels some aching feeling near error but doesn't really mind it, since he doesn't remember that error was the one who put him in the antivoid. He can only remember the situation with fatalerror, and even that is very faint. His memory, shockingly for a sans, is very shit due to everything that happened to him in the antivoid. So, like, they're friends. Kinda. Error tries really hard to avoid him while berror is like "haiii!!!!! :33"

2. Ur idea is so cool and I'm angry that I didn't think of that but,,,, he lives like. In the multiverse. He goes couch serfing in AU's is the best way to put it. Berror is quite literally a ticking time bomb that nobody actually knows when will go off including me so he's not really allowed to be in the Omega timeline for long amounts of time. Often times, he's in AU's like the og Undertale, Underswap(although not as often), The star sanses base which is somewhere in swaps au, and just wherever Ink is going. Except when he goes to the doodlesphere, he's not allowed in there ofc

3. It depends on inks mood. Usually they're friends, but if inks had kind of a rough day or like idk drank too much of the red vial, he sees Berror as someone holding him down and is more like a caretaker. Berror sees him as a friend, but also he sees most people as friends. Ink is his best friend, as he's the one he's constantly around and I mean constantly. You see Ink? Look over about 4ft and you see a deranged swap slowly walking towards him. Oh inks on a mission trying to get nightmare outta here? There's blueberror making nightmare puke because of the fact that it feels like nightmares being pulled towards him when really he's not. Ink, dream, and swap electric boogaloo are used to it but Nightmare is NOT.

Also, just to clarify, the star sanses exist in this au. Blueberror is not a member because he is too silly of a guy. The swap in the star sanses is not blueberror, they are two seperate people and also hang out a lot. I see a lot of ppl hc that berror is the swap from the star sanses, but in my eyes, he's nyat‼️

I feel like this also needs to be clarified: The star sanses includes... Swap, Dream, Ink, Sci, and then a few unofficial members like Fresh, Core, and more that I'm forgetting. Berror is not an unofficial member, it's so very sad.

ok that's it I need to rest now I'm very sick

[fenyadebik]

So. . Hello world!!

Today I decided to share my own Undertale AU character. Defeated!Frisk.

What's happened to them??

Defeated!Frisk was an ordinary human, that took neutral route to pass undergrounds. Of course they had to fight Omega Flowey to continue. . But that where problems begins. Frisk just wasn't strong enough. Souls didn't help them in time. They died countless times. Flowey constantly messing with files led to errors in them. First it wasn't much. Some hits were stuck on Frisk, but that okay, they're still alive, right?? Right??

But things only got worse. Chara as a ghost was stuck with Frisk. But now. . They're bodies started to merge, like a broken in-game models. They could hear eachother now. Now they're hurting together.

What's about other human souls?? They tried to help. But files were already damaged, they couldn't do anything. Even if they reached Frisk, Flowey pressed reset again.

Finally, Frisk died for the last time. Files couldn't work properly anymore, Frisk didn't comeback. In fact, they "comeout". Timeline just throwed their files in void like it was a virus. Frisk were ruined, they were damaged. But they are still alive. They shouldn't be. But. . They're refused to die.

Frisk had more than enough time to discover her new abilities. Remember that souls tried to help?? Apparently, they did.

They're presence got stuck in Frisk's soul. In their damaged and glitched soul. . This is when Frisk discovered, that they now have ability to use powers of other souls. Started to learn about them more. They're also learned, that already broken soul can't break for second time. . Frisk didn't know if now that's means that they're immortal or not, but they didn't want to find out anyways. Maybe they alive only while glitch lasts?? Who knows. .

Frisk didn't know how much time they spent in that strange void. But codes started to appear. . Maybe because of how broken code of Frisk was, maybe because of that void. Frisk didn't know and no-one could tell them. Because of boredom they started to learn more about codes. How to fix them, how to mess them up. . But Frisk still couldn't touch they're own code. Maybe it's for the better, right??

Ability to see code allowed Frisk to finally leave this strange void. They used code to get out and eventually got themselves in another AU. It was beautiful. . Everything after void would be beautiful, but hey!! This truly were almost the most beautiful one. .

Frisk were happy and filled with joy!! They walked through AU and couldn't stop looking at everything like they're at Disneyland!! But that when they found monsters of this AU. Turns out, only Ruins, were appeared Frisk, were in good shape. Other parts were infected with glitches, creator of the AU couldn't find problem with code!! This AU suffered, monsters in it too. . Frisk decided to help. No-one should suffer like them.

It took them long enough, but after all, they did it!! AU were saved, monsters too. No more glitches. Frisk realised why would they have such powers. To help others that have situation similar to their. . After that Frisk started to travel through multiverse, lookin for glitchy mistakes like themselve and fixing them. They like their new purpose to live. . It fills them with determination.

Can Chara control Frisk??

No, they can't. Frisk have too much determination, so Chara can't really take control. But they still can communicate through thoughts!! Probably that why Defeated!Frisk didn't go insane.

Does Defeated!Frisk have weakness??

They sure have!! Defeated!Frisk really weak physically. Also, they can glitch in random moment and because of that get distracted. They attacks are weak too, because Frisk were level 1 when died.

Will there be more about them??

I really hope so!! But don't expect me to draw everyday. .

Thank you, if you read all of this!! I really appreciate if you leave your opinion.

If my characters copied other I'm deeply sorry, tell me if that happened, I didn't have intentions to copy..

[sketch--booked]

I'm joining the fray when it comes to making a Sans. Its fun dammit and besides I think I'm keeping Ink alive or something.

This is V, Short for-- nothing really, Void ig but just call him V. He is an Out!Code.

More under the cut. +art

His creation was inspired by a dream I had some time ago about a Sans who was shattered across time and space in a similar way to Core Frisk, but retaining a lot more of himself in exchange for needing to stay in the Void more often than not.

His whole deal is that he knows very well that balance is vital in maintaining a flourishing Multiverse, and y'know, he lives there, so he'd like to keep it healthy (unlike himself with how little he takes care of himself (not like he can die probably?))

He's willing to do anything to ensure the balance between Creation, Destruction, Positivity, and Negativity remains consistent.

He'll show up to whoever is lacking and offer his services. Most times lending a creative ear to Ink (who promptly forgets him), spreading cheer with Dream or working for Nightmare temporarily. He's never met Error, but if Creation goes a bit far and he's lagging behind, then V'll just break things or put on a good chase for the guy to help him catch up.

His morality is not determined by action. He'll kill one day, then help an old lady with her shopping the next. He does have enough of a soul to understand empathy, but his sense of survival is stronger. He'll really only offer his services or take action if he needs to, knowing in most cases either the Stars or the Bad Sans' will correctly tip the scales.

He travels across universes through the Void, so if a universe is not connected to the Void, he cannot reach it. He also, because of this, cannot reach the Doodlesphere or the Anti-Void (and he's convinced being in there would instantly kill him anyway, so he's not eager to visit).

He tries to stay under the radar, but ultimately, because of one of his other "duties", he's earned himself the title of The Ferryman. He'll help deliver people from dead or dying universes to the Omega Timeline, and sometimes just take people in and out of Universes if they ask really nicely, like a reverse Charon, taking people from certain death and giving them a new chance at life.

His head is completely black and emanates darkness from the Void, being the place most damaged from nearly dying, which was an accident, and he doesn't blame his human for it, they were trying to save him by resetting, not knowing what it would do to him and so he holds no ill will towards any humans.

Because he lacks an entire head, he can't emote and remedies this by taking the faces of those he meets if he likes their look. His favourite is the one seen in the main ref, being the first one he stole and conveniently being Ink's face (he does not remember this). The creator easily made a new face, so no harm done, but others are not so lucky. These faces are a moment in time, and so do not move; he calls them masks. Wherever there is an open space, the void peeks through, and so he does not and cannot have lights in his eyes. He switches them out like this!

He comes from just a normal Undertale diversion, where he happened to meet the same fate as Gaster, Frisk reset as he died, trying to save him, only resulting in him being partially shattered. He was still forgotten, but he stuck together in the Void. This is why leaving the Void for too long takes a toll on him and why he has to return regularly to keep himself together, else he will fall apart and become just like Gaster (of which there are so many in the Void).

His movement in general is very stilted and doesn't use a lot of body language unless he's either making a point or being funny, because he IS still funny. He's mostly sarcastic but still loves puns and pranks (Don't put him in a room with Reaper, Epic or Fresh because they'd have a great time).

If you noticed the knives, he tries not to rely on magic since he partially blames his death on doing just that. He's more athletic than a classic Sans but still loves doing absolutely nothing and, for days on end, will sleep in the Void until he feels a disturbance. He can still use magic and has the same tricks a Classic would have, but now with custom Void-made daggers! (He totally stole the vibe from Killer.) He does not, however, have Karma, as he is no longer a judge.

Honestly, he's just kinda a guy. Not quite bad, not quite good. Mostly just doing whatever is needed at the time to keep living. He'll always be on whichever side is losing until balance is restored, but if it begins to tip the other way, then he's done too good of a job and switches until the Multiverse itself can deal with it. You can call him selfish, but in the end, it keeps the Multiverse safe.

And that's him. wahoo.

I'm also not spell-checking this any more than I already did sooo.

[expectiations]

Ohh I love headcanons. Okay, uhm...

River Song and number 2?

Level 2 Headcanon takes elements from canon and explores them in a transformative way, and views canon through a lens outside the intended way it was written. [it's from this post btw]

Because I am who I am, I'm gonna bring my favorite "River is Patience" headcanon into this and include time babies because I can.

River has a secret family with the Doctor hidden somewhere in the universe. These children have aspects of both Time Lord and Child of Time abilities and have their own adventures across time and space, subtly influencing major events in the Doctor's timeline without his (or early versions of River's) knowledge.

I have, unfortunately, forgotten my tags for my 'River is Patience' yappings 😭 glares at self but anyway...

The Doctor barely talks about their family on Gallifrey, of Susan, Susan's parents (her father is his firstborn child apparently according to TARDIS wiki), of his first wife.

So what I know is based on the TARDIS wiki, which apparently got things wrong with Patience? idk i have yet to listen to the audios where Patience appears. I did get into an argument because this one person insisted that Patience, the Doctor's wife, and Patience, who emptied the Sea of Life because she wanted a baby, are different people and just got mixed up.

Patience, the Doctor's first wife, and Patience, who broke Pythia's Curse, may be different people. Or not. (e.g., the Woman who Murdered the Doctor and the Woman who Married the Doctor ended up actually being the same person).

That's the thing with being a legend. People get things wrong and mix things up.

We know River herself is a legend, is part of countless legends, is the cause of legends. Putting that in mind, I don't find it far-fetched that she somehow turns out to be Patience. Also, what we know of Patience seems steeped in legends and myths (very River-coded, yes?). Even her name, Patience, was coined by Tegan Jovanka. So she quite likely is known by another name (again very River-coded).

The following excerpts from Patience's TARDIS wiki page has held my interest for so long:

Despite Pythia's Curse, Patience wanted to have a child. She sought out experts all around the Capitol, but none could help her except the Stranger on Mount Perdition, who handed her an empty sack to fill with water, instructing her to draw from the Sea of Life. According to the Eighth Doctor, she emptied all the Sea of Life in her attempt, though the sack bore a hole. When all of time had soaked up on the shore, she found a child there. She broke the Curse. (AUDIO: Patience)

Her husband, one of the first to explore the Time Vortex, married her upon his return to Gallifrey. Together they had thirteen children. Their eldest child together would become Susan Foreman's father.

Also this excerpt made my River-coded mental alarm bells go crazy.

Patience's body vanished; the Doctor believed her to have simply died, (PROSE: Cold Fusion) but in actuality, Omega had used his control of history to take her into his anti-matter universe and restore her ability to regenerate. (PROSE: The Infinity Doctors) Indeed, the Ferutu told the Doctor that "it's not the first time you've met her, nor will it be the last". (PROSE: Cold Fusion)

and oh yeah she was also married to Omega. who else do we know has had multiple spouses? I'll let you all ruminate on it.

"It's not the first time you've met her, nor will it be the last." Who else do we know has had multiple "first meetings" but no actual "last meetings"?

"Despite Pythia's Curse, Patience wanted to have a child." Who else do we know wanted a child?

Also keep in mind that this was "according to the Eight Doctor" who is notorious for his Swiss cheese memory, so errors are bound to happen.

"According to the Eighth Doctor, she emptied all the Sea of Life in her attempt, though the sack bore a hole. When all of time had soaked up on the shore, she found a child there. She broke the Curse." Who else do we know has broken something (time and space) because she wanted to accomplish something (tell the Doctor he is loved)?

I believe the Doctor has mentioned that their entire family died in the Time War(?) a long time ago. Since we're making River his first wife on Gallifrey, we're also insisting that his entire family is alive and well, thriving and multiplying like rabbits across the universe. They have got to be masked like River used to be when meeting younger Doctors.

One last thing before I end this yapping session (isn't there always?), I headcanon that the child Patience found after emptying the Sea of Life is actually pre-Library River's child.

This may be a reach but I don't care. I love River. I love twisty myths and legends and playing with time.
