#familial error sans

[ghostlyvoidshark]

saw you were doing requests. can you do an error sans x reader [platonic] where the mc helps him with his phobia?

Hello! So sorry for taking forever! I think the author curse is real because, no lie, about a week after I started writing I caught 'rona for the second time, got hospitalized, nearly died in surgery, got fired from my first job then a little while later a family member died. But I'm chilling now 👍 looking at the positives - like being happy I put my mom's toxic boyfriend in jail >:] it's about the small wins lmao.

ERROR SANS x READER (Platonic)

Pronouns:

Error: he / they

Reader: you / they

I feel like Error would be both very easy to become friends with but also very difficult.

Like a cat...

I mean he would have very specific requirements to be friends but they're easy requirements. The difficult part is finding out what they are without scaring him off lol.

It'd be stuff like not touching them, not being too loud / obnoxious, respect boundaries, show interest in his obsessions but not too much knowledge on them (doesnt like being one-uped in his obsessions) etc.

I feel like he's okay with loud people btw, he just rather you not invade his space when doing stuff and rather have a warning to put on muffs to help regulate sound.

Totally would knit you some gifts, though. Each one comes with an insult as an excuse, though. Scarf? Its because you're a feeble human that dies at the slightest change smh 😒 gotta make sure their entertainment doesn't perish.

Anyways - onto the specific request -

I think the best way to help him would to be encourage him but not force anything. I lowkey kin Error so I'm kind of (very much) projecting because thats my only point of reference for a healing arc lmao. Ill explain my thoughts, tho.

I think he needs encouragement because he's stubborn and wouldn't change otherwise. You'll probably have to reason and bargain why he should do it and then encourage him.

He probably doesn't like change in the first place so that ontop of not seeing a point in doing it makes him stubborn to try.

But I do think it's possible to get him to try to get over his phobia. It'll take a while of getting them to warm up to the idea, but you can get there.

Also I know some people think you may have to force him because he's so stubborn, but he has obvious anger issues or some form of emotional disregulation and, in my experience, forcing him is a sure fire way to set them off and make them resent the mere idea of changing or becoming better. He may play along but it will make everything very difficult and not actually help him.

He'd just retreat and revert the first chance he gets if he were forced. So bad idea.

But once he's in a safe space (the antivoid) he will try your ideas. A bit begrudgingly because approaching phobias is very distressing for most people. But he's trying for you.

I think the best approach would just be... a form of exposure therapy? Like being a bit closer during parallel play. Doing your own things in closer proximity than normal. Allowing him to adjust to your presence being there in a different way.

And slowly moving up from there. Like adding small things to the routine so it can feel normal for them. Like instead of normal promises you guys start making pinky promises.

Because routines are likely important to him since laws / rules have been shown to be important to him. So making touch one of those rules / routines shows it can be a good thing / normal rather than a distressing situation. It also give incentive to do it more since routines 'shouldnt' be broken.

From there it's just a matter of finding work arounds and adding things to the routine. Having big sit-downs and 'sessions'probably isn't his style since it dramatizes it and makes it an exhausting thing. So it's better to just ask or tell him you want to try something new and if he would like to try / what would be the best way to do that. Like hand holding!

I think the first time he holds your hand it wouldn't be a big / emotional thing for him. He'd be more focused on not losing his shit at first. But the second or third time he'd be more emotional in a '/positive' way. Like he'd probably still look disgruntled and disgusted but he'd likely be staring off into space, lost in thought.

He likes having that intimacy (intimacy can be more than lewd or romantic btw) with you. The closeness with someone trustworthy.

But like ew touching lol. So he's kinda confused. He's happy but a little grossed out. Like handling a baby - the child is cute but inexplicably sticky with unknown substances. Pros and cons.

I think once hes more comfortable with you and touching he'd randomly shoulder check you 💀 they try not to do it roughly but he's quite literally an emotionally unstable universe destroyer, so its a work in progress to figure out how to do it gently lmaoo

But it's kind of the easiest way he's found so far to show affection on his terms without feeling trapped or forced in some way. Hugs are too cagey and holding hands can feel like too much since someone is grabbing him. Those are for when he feels better - so shoulder bumps are safe and affectionate.

You may be knocked to the floor the first time tho 💀 they swear they weren't trying to beat your ass.

Also once touching in small doses has been unlocked they will become weirdly more mean? But not in a genuinely aggressive way.

It's like how some introverts become loud dummies when they start to like you.

He just opens up more about his thoughts and feelings and teases you more because he feels like you have proven to be safe.

And it's not subtle either. No slow transition. Y'all will just be chilling one day and he drops some out of pocket comment about something and you're left there wondering why he's suddenly so bitchy like??? My guy??

He'll insult you too (not anything serious. And if you're okay with it.) But its how someone insults a cat, y'know?

Like if you're eating some snack he disapproves of he'll call you a stinky rat or smth. Its just *sees nachos and cheese in your hands* "stinky little garbage man/woman/rat"

No context given. You're just The Trash Thing(/aff) now.

Others are not given the mercy, though. If someone is annoying you will hear about it and he will tear them to shreds verbally.

Also if you two become more familial than just friends you will have the most viscous parental figure / sibling / etc. Ever.

Someone break your heart? They'll break the jackass' bones. Fair trade, yeah? Plz restrain him before half the city is demolished. Pls..

But like, he understands if you're just venting. He can calm down if you're complaining and venting. But if you seem really genuinely in distress he gets really pissed off. He'll start out shit talking the problem too then get a little too worked up lmao

They mean well, just get passionate about their loved ones.

Also pray / hope that ink never finds out about you because they will beat that dorks non-existent ass and you'll have to deal with them ranting for 2-4 hours.

Once they're okay enough you two will end up sitting shoulder to shoulder with a scarf or blanket wrapped around you two. I don't make the rules 🤷‍♂️ just enforce quality time.

[woaaahh-itz-caam]

i had a thought… and idea perhaps….. a mental image if you will……..

[juniemunie]

Hee hoo more of the fam! ( ≧ᗜ≦)

Ft ideas:

-Error having Geno's glitches when hes unstable (and maybe even his eye melting,,, tho you rarely get to see it)

- PJ's comfort food is just some weird concoction Ink and Error made thats just error's strings and purple paint and called it "homemade ramen"

It sounds so dumb but its probably a really good healing item for him if he lost his strings=structure somehow.

-Gradient and Error communicate through puppets. Both of them are too socially awkward when face to face so this is for the best lmfao

-Ink building lil mini metatton robots!! Did you know his dad taught him how to build machines and studying astrophysics? Its so he learns to be less dependent on his paints and powers. I wish ppl draw him doing stuff like this more ; w ;

If Error isn’t in Nightmare’s Gang, I think he should be in the Star Sanses.

Reason 1:

How dare Ink spend all his time with other people? Without him!?

Reason 2:

He needs to stick around Blue and make sure he doesn’t become an error (if you think the swap in the star sanses is the swap from the ask error comic)

Reason 3:

He loves the stars, and the group is named after them. He fits the ascetic.

Reason 4:

It’s funny. Imagine your world is being destroyed by Nightmare, then the ‘destroyer of worlds’ saves you

Reason 5:

He doesn’t put up with the bullshit that I normally seen thrown at the Stars. The Stars are varying degrees of people pleasers, he is not.

Reason 6:

Dream would have scary dog privilege, buff friend privilege, and gremlin friend privilege.

Reason 7:

Just think about them all for a second.

Reason 8:

If Error is friends with Ink and Blue, why not Dream as well?

Reason 9:

It would balance the catboy/dogboy vibes in the group.

Reason 10:

If Nightmare tried to push him into his group too hard, Error joins his enemy to spite him.

As some might already know, I have a game of The Sims 4 with the UTMV skeletons.

GREASER HAS BECOME UNHINGED. HE FLIRTS WITH E V E R Y O N E. I LEFT THEM TO THEIR OWN DEVICES FOR A BIT AND NOW HE HAS A LOVE-METER WITH ALL OF HIS INLAWS. FRESH DOESN'T CARE EVEN WHEN HE'S RIGHT THERE WHILE IT HAPPENS EVEN THO THEY ARE MARRIED?????

In other words, I replicated their personalities flawlessly.

I was in shock.

Oh, one more bonus for the initiated that made me laugh.

He’s perfect and I love him

But Echo! some of you might ask, isn’t the body supposed to be red like his bones? To that I say! 1: I’m impressed you saw it under the layers of clothes! /silly and 2!

BAH BAM

Embroidery!!!!! (I’m so proud of this hehe it turned out way better than I expected. Also faceless doll jumpscare>:3)

And of course, credit must be given to my amazing little sibling whose immediate reaction to seeing my doll was “ooo he’s spooky! He needs a top hat!!!!”

(She proceeded to make not one but two top hats hehe)

[coolingrosa]

Hc that Error doesn’t mind Nightmares tentacles b/c they more like goopy slime than a persons hand or body. So instead of being left out Nightmare just wraps him up in a cocoon and calls it a day

[nanaizzy]

So.... It turns out that I never ended up posting this??? Idk how that happened but uh,,, wild lmao

Anyway, here are the guys in a get-along shirt because they'd 100% be forced to wear one. What bickering or fighting led them to wear it this time? Who knows! lol

Paperjam and Gradient do not belong to me.
