Band!Killers lock pin is 34055
Band!Dusts feet are FUCKED and horribly warped and scarred from his years on the streets.
Band!Nightmare, for the longest time, believed Cross' legal name to be 'Christian' because... well, he chose the nickname 'cross' and hes a 'Chris' so, it just... No. Cross' legal name is legit just Chris. like, its not short for anything. just Chris. he hates it. he plans on changing it it like, Christopher or something, hes just never got around to it
Band!Horror decorates his wheelchair with spikes. sometimes when the band are preforming live, he attaches LED's to the metal parts, so, even though hes behind the drumkit most of the time, you can still see the neon red lights on him.
Band!Ink remembers stuff better when hes told it in french or japanese, and tends to forget things told to him in english.
Band!Blues legal name is Jay Prince - his nickname comes from people calling his 'Bluejay' for years growing up, which eventually reshortened to 'Blue'
Band!Dream copied his brothers nickname, and is the reason that HIS friend group all have nicknames too.
Ash's favourite food was spaghetti. the closest he got to it most days was uncooked, raw and old pasta out a trash can.
Band!Nightmare and Band!Dream grew up playing piano and violin respectively. they still play their instruments to this day
band!Cross has nystagmus
Band!Nightmare is deathly allergic to apples.
Band!Joku Brothers had an apple tree in their yard growing up.
Band!Dream cant look at apples without having a panic attack.
Band!Cross wakes up at 6am sharp every morning.
Band!Dust has narcolepsy.
Band!Horror has a favourite 'scar scarf' - its a navy one with little yellow stars and moons over it. Nightmare got it for his as a present years ago.
Ash was a natural redhead.
Band!Dust has 'Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust' tattooed across his back
Band!Nightmare and Band!Cross talk in spanish all the time. though sometimes, Cross latin american spanish and Nightmares canerian sometimes stump them on the odd word, which causes a lot of confusion as they dont, for some reason, ever think to clarify what theyre saying in english...
Band!Killer doesnt consider himself Muslim, but still to this day, refuses to eat bacon and such like.
Band!Nightmare has his hair chemically straightened.
Band!Horror likes it when his partners play with his hair. he keeps each little braid they give him for as long as he can.
Band!!CRoss is very sensitive to light due to his albinism, though he got lucky in that his eyesight is mostly alright. going on stage with all the lights is actual hell for him.
Band!XGaster specifically wanted an albino child, like him, because he saw albinism as 'humanities perfection'. he chose a columbian surrogate to carry for him, who had the same type of albinism as him. who knows what might have happened it Cross turned out to.. not be albino..
Band!Nightmare sometimes uses Dusts sleeptalk as lyrics.

Cross
🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️😇🧸👻🎶👽💤🦾💝🫂💔 🪢📓👗🔪🌟🥇🍫🎭❤️🔥💄🖕😸😬😭😶
Have fun <3
i just know you're trying to kill me with this......+
cross
🏳️🌈 - a sexuality headcanon he's bisexual, your honor (this is canon anyway). specifically a disaster bisexual. he likes women who can kick his ass and pathetic loser men.
🏳️⚧️ - a gender headcanon why are you even asking me this? he's trans the skeleton 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
😇 - a headcanon about their religion/lack thereof i think he's an atheist. i mean, how would he believe in gods when he lived with one with the biggest god complex of all?
🧸 - a headcanon about their childhood forgive me i haven't read the comics yet... but he does strike me as the type of kid who hogs the slides on the playground idk why.
👻 - a headcanon about what scares them alright mr. scared-of-cows, do you by any chance also refuse to step foot on a farm because the chickens mauled you once?
🎶 - a headcanon about music emo guy listens to emo music 🫵🫵 (don't ask me which bands specifically because my taste in music is horrible and horribly limited *cough cough kpop cough cough*)
👽 - a headcanon about a weird quirk of theirs might be a fever dream of mine, but i distinctly remember that he wears his fuckass scarf-jacket thingy thing before putting on his boots... like... sit down emo baby, let me teach you how to dress the correct way unless you want to accidentally suffocate yourself...
💤 - a headcanon about their sleep he's a light sleeper, from all the training he has. i also think he's the type to sleep upside down in the bed too.
🦾 - a disability headcanon there's no fucking way this guy is not vision-impaired or colorblind in some way. maybe he's color-agnostic (is that the word) - basically he can see colors but his brain cannot tell them apart or identify what color he's seeing.
💝 - a headcanon about their love language isn't he the type to gift people he admires a lot? i think he'd shower people with little trinkets and gifts, having them keep a piece of him with them in their everyday life.
🫂 - a friendship headcanon i think his friendship with frisk is kinda cute. though i imagine it's especially hard for him to make friends after all that x-event debacle. he's gonna be super cautious about people around him from now on, constantly worried about the instance they turn on him.
💔 - an angsty headcanon is the previous statement angsty enough...? or do you want me to link to the "cross gets bullied by the mtt" series to show how gullible he can be under authority figures in his life.
🪢 - a headcanon about their family oh, i think cross is so fucked when it comes to his feelings about his family. even with all the shitty things that happen, he can't help but still want approval and love from them, xgaster most of all. of course xgaster only sees cross' outbursts as a simple "rebellious phase", because that's all cross will be to him - his child.
📓 - a headcanon about their hobbies i think i kinda like the headcanon (maybe canon?) that he bakes. he's probably a decent self-taught baker too.
👗 - a headcanon about their clothes EMOOOOOOOO!!! i need cross to wear them skinny jeans too - it's gonna be hilarious watching him struggle to fight in them (skinny jeans my beloathed).
🔪 - a headcanon relating to fighting/violence as an ex(?)-soldier with probable ptsd, i think he'd struggle with violence a lot. he's not as trigger-happy as murder, but he's not as composed/restrained as killer either. he gets jumped easily, and it's a 50/50 on whether he'll pull his swords or not. it's gonna take a while to train that instinct/reflex out of him.
🌟 - a headcanon about their desires/wishes bro just wants to go back to the way things were (probably not canon though lol). i think he's... nostalgic for the time he doesn't know anything. ignorance is bliss and all that.
🥇 - a headcanon about what they’re best at idk why but babysitting is the first thing to come to my mind. though that's probably not good, or at least contradicting with my violence headcanon somewhat lol. i just think he's the type to be good (or semi-good) with kids. boy-failure needs a win somehow.
🍫 - a headcanon about food he's not canonically lactose intolerant but it would be funny if he was. one more reason to hate cows.
🎭 - a headcanon about what they lie about his tinder profile. next question.
❤️🔥 - a romantic headcanon i would make everyone be on the aromantic spectrum eventually and now cross is on the chopping block. demi-romantic for you, boy-failure. i think he's the type to be enamored with others easily but also over time he'd just realize they'd be better as non-romantic partners. his crush is intense but it burns out fast.
💄 - an appearance headcanon he's very well-groomed with whatever resources he has. it's no good being a slob or looking like one - that's what he was taught.
🖕 - a headcanon relating to anger oh yeah he has anger issues alright. more therapy for you.
😺 - an animal related headcanon not totally animal-related or a headcanon, but i'd love to see cross going to farmtale and have an aneurysm upon seeing the cow-shaped gaster blasters lmao.
😬 - a headcanon about the worst thing they’ve done his backstory.........
😭 - a headcanon about the worst thing that happened to them also his backstory..........
😶 - a random headcanon! i answered too much now so i shan't give you one.

I feel the urge to talk about how often Underverse's 'big bad', XGaster, is called out for not being as big or bad as he seems. Even with all the power he has, he is constantly said to be hiding behind his creations.
Despite all the power he has, and how easily he could dispatch some Sanses (as seen in the 0.4 ending), he continues to hid behind his creations. The ability to overwrite is not the end all be all, which XGaster has learnt from his near death experience during the XTale series.
At the end of it all, Gaster is right. XGaster is scared. Scared of what he doesn't know, what he can't expect. It's why he almost kills Cross in a last ditch effort to keep Fatal away from himself. Why he overwrites all his creation's wills and why he wants Chara and Cross under his control. He's a control freak, and that's been really well established, but I love how each episode further highlights just how little control he has compared to what he implies, and how much fear is accompanied with that.
At the end of the day, he silences Gaster and ignores Fatal. He refuses to respond to either of them. Because Gaster is right, and Fatal is in fact a threat.
I'm in love with the way XGaster is portrayed. He never really changed his methods between Season 1 and 2, always hiding behind someone or something to do his bidding.
It's also interesting how Geno addresses XGaster here. I'm pretty sure how Isolation might have affected XGaster is obvious, but the lines "there are many ways to break free. watch out for which version of yourself will get the job done." is still a bit of a mystery to me.
It's obvious how that applies to Geno, given that 3 versions of him show up in this episode: His normal Aftertale self, Error (who only shows up in flashes in this part of 0.7, but is fully present in part 1) and Fatal Error. All three versions have 'broken free' of something in their own way, be it the isolation and ensuing madness Geno went through, Error going through the same again or Fatal becoming an even bigger glitch after escaping Error.
All in all, can't wait for 0.8. Really enjoying where this is going so far, and now I have the urge to draw Fatal (even though that would be far too much of a pain and quite difficult given my skill rn).

I’m actually curious about your thoughts on Cross. I haven’t seen anyone ask about this.
Just like your general opinion or what you like about him.
I know you’re the Killer blog. But still interested in hearing your thoughts of other characters for a change.
Gotta be honest, chief, I mostly just consume media from my cross loving moots and am content with it that way, although I have watched Underverse and X-Tale, its been a long while since I did and I also don’t think I’ve fully read the comics? Not really sure where to start with it.
I understand that XGaster had the Overwrite and was intentionally started out only wanting to make his creations (kids?) XChara and XFrisk happy—but his perfectionism and insecurity (?) got the best of him when he was introduced to the Multiverse and he started becoming obsessed with the idea of a perfect story i think.
I remember he harmed and abused XChara and XFrisk a lot, just about any attempt the two did to try and fight back and stop him always failed and ended badly for them. And he used his abilities to turn the others either against them, kill them, or even make them all forget what happened before so the two humans only had eachother.
The one timeline that stuck out to me was the one where Cross and XPapyrus were seemingly adopted by XGaster, and Xalphys was their sister—and they were childhood friends with the royal children xfrisk and xasriel. I remember that Cross and XPapyrus joined the Royal Guard to protect XFrisk from the humans that kept attacking them on the surface.
I remember Cross i think refused to do what XFrisk wanted him to do, and I think he fought back against his friends because he was attempting to take control of the Overwrite? I’m not sure on this one. I know he took the human’s soul, and that was how he winded up in the Void with XChara which led to the events of Underverse when he was trying to bring back his AU.
If i remember correctly he also got his heart locket and nickname of Cross from XFrisk, perhaps. He doesn’t like being called Sans as if it’s a dog breed, i remember that. I’ve seen some moots talk about how he’s kinda prissy(?), and there’s a lot of dog coded Cross floating around. I know he’s friends with Epic.
Ah, my first impression of Cross when it comes to fandom stuff actually had a whole lot to with ao3 portraying it as if cross was sexually abused by XGaster and XGaster was transphobic and also lots and lots of Kross which isn’t really my thing in the way it’s typically portrayed by the fandom.
I think his AU is a very cool concept—it’s similar to how I like to envision Something New, at least in terms of XGaster/XChara/XFrisk vs the Killer/KC/Player stuff with all the constant changing timelines—but I don’t feel I know enough exactly about Cross to give a full educated opinion on his character itself.
This is an invitation to send me links to comics/asks or just leave paragraphs about Cross in my inbox or reblogs of this post if yall want btw 🙏.

Meet LIBERTA
Soooo finally I can talk about my babygirl:
This is Liberta, CrossFrisk's shipchild, she has XFrisk's appearance and Cross's white hair, with the soul fused by both of theirs
I posted a beta des of her before and got a little change
In a alternative universe where Cross Frisk had been together in the first timelines and got break up after (by Frisk alone because Cross didn't even remembered they had been lover)
The story went on until one day Ink suddenly read the notes he wrote when he still played with XGaster and his experiments
After got the OVERWRITE button, the first thing Frisk tried to do was making copies of his and Cross's soul, then tried to fused them together.
But before the process was completed, Frisk stoped that out of nowhere and put it deep down into the OVERWRITE button.
Ink, as a guardian watching everything, he noted that down and forgot about it after that.
The process still be paused, lying inside the button Cross holding, he couldn't use the button to do anything, so that was Ink who went and asked for help from XGaster (since Cross refused to have anything to do with him)
XGaster gave him another button which can help him continue the pausing process of Frisk, nothing more, so XGaster couldn't do anything with the fused soul either.
After a (very) long time considering and talking with others, and thinking about things between him and Frisk, Cross finally had the courage to press the CONTINUE button.
And that's how their daughter was born, since her soul was fused by both of theirs, she had the memories from them, about XGaster and Xtale. But she didn't have any emotions about those, it just like watching a long movie from afar, you can know what happen but hardly get their feeling, not to mention the memories also slowly fazing along with her growing.
About power, her strengths are physical strength and fighting with weapons.
She can summon any weapons she can image of, due to that, she knows quite a bit about weapons and how to use them, and grew a liking, especially about bombs and anything can explode.
Sadly, she can't summon Gaster Blaster.
At her younger days, she couldn't know what her best is, so she tried to learn everything, much as she could, so she knows quite a lot, from combat to daily work, from repairing machinery and components to skillful work, but not so proficiently.
Baking is one of those, in fact, she quite likes it, so she turned it into a change to make some money. She made a small online bake shop and sales her baking (mostly to acquaintances)
But it still is her side hobby, her main goal are traveling everywhere and discovering everything.
She used to go with her Dad to an AU, where the land almost was a vast desert. She sat in a roofless off-road car, ran through the desert. Her hair flied in the wind and the heat burned her face along with the dust and sand. She loves that feeling, and wants to tried more. So beside her schooling, she always follows everyone to other AUs whenever she has chance.
Anddddd that's all for now, hope you enjoy and love her as I do <3

Part 2 of the Greek mythology inspired stuff
Lore:
Xchara is one out of many demigods that were bless with great power by the lords at a young age with his brother (Frisk); he was raised by Xgaster before being adopted by Asgore and Toriel, unfortunately his bond with Xgaster slowly became distant after the many events that led into chaos and madness for the mortal/god world. Both had different views which turned into a test between the gods, goddess, and demigods.
While his brothers chose not to fight; Chara on the other hand wasn’t one who kept his mouth shut and would often challenge Xgaster’s views, none has ever cause a serious battle, only exchanging harsh words.
Chara would attend to the mortal’s needs whenever he comes down; most of them were the average “save us from this evil creature and save our town” or “help get my cat down from the tree” perhaps.
But one day; Chara finds himself sneaking into a sacred garden where he meets Marcus, he hid behind the trees and only watched him at a safe distance before getting the courage to walk up to him.
At first; Marcus wasn’t too thrilled to suddenly see a man behind him and did hit him, but it quickly calmed down after Chara was trying to explained himself (while having stuff chucked at him).
Chara and Marcus started seeing each other after the incident (mostly form running into each other); Chara started to enjoyed his company as he didn’t seem to be the same people he deals with all the time.
After some consideration (on Chara side) he finally became friends with Marcus; he kept his friendship a secret from everyone expect the few he can trust and are close to him, as he was worried that this friendship could be used against him or endanger their safety. After awhile it seemed like his secret was safety secured.
Then one day; a huge argument between him and Xgaster occurred again, it started once Chara found out that he was controlling his family and using them for devious deeds, as Xgaster offered Chara to join him, he snapped and vowed to never work with the likes of him and would rather die than to be known as a monster, and storms off.
Now being alone in his domain; Xgaster was interrupted by his creations (a scorpion) and learns about a rumour about Chara’s secret relations with a mortal, suddenly feeling thrilled about this new piece of information, he orders his creation to spy on Chara and find out who this mortal is.
Once he was able to successfully identify Marcus; Xgaster poses himself as a faithful god to the naive Marcus alone.
Finally having something to go with; he taunts Chara again, making him come back for round 2. But this time; Xgaster reveals that he knows about Chara’s little secret, he tells Chara that he has been close contact with his dear friend which allowed him to put a curse on him.
He begins laying out his options,
If Chara chooses to refuse his offer and continue to be the “hero” of his story; Marcus will be his new replacement and will do everything that Xgaster instructed, in his new pursuit to dethrone the gods for his perfect world, and maybe… Xgaster may make him his.
But if Chara finally gives in and accepts his fate, then Xgaster won’t dare to touch Marcus, only when Chara starts to show some hesitation/rebellion.
Chara was finally sensing the lost of hope and the pressure on his shoulders; feeling angered by his fate and guilt, he reluctantly gives in.
Day after day; the occasional deed was committed, feeling every remorse knowing how his actions may not be justified to one’s eyes. Marcus was blissfully unaware by Chara’s wrong doings and it was going to stay that way; Chara didn’t want his fate to interfere with their own, besides… his choice was the reason why Marcus is living his life peacefully.
While it seemed like a done deal; perhaps may turn upside down, by a string luck of accidental chance.
Xtale characters (Xchara, xfrisk, Xgaster and all of that) belongs to Jakei95
Marcus, Greek mythology inspired writing (here), and characters designs belongs to Tomboi

So... Big one here huh, not as in "many words", but as in "oof.. that's not.."
Anyway, trigger warning for graphic (?) descriptions of child death! Specifically, murder. Because this is about Cross! And we all know his daddy isn't uh.. isn't very fond of him let's just say!
Anyway, feel sick- i mean, feel free to read!! .. and Then get sick.
Anyway-
So like.. you know those cases? of people getting so angry they kill someone else in a moment of anger?
It's a classic thing, I'm sure, disturbingly enough. Crimes of passion are no new thing, but what if you could just.. go back?
Imagine how many times XGaster did that.
Getting so frustrated with how this current timeline was going he just murders Cross before restarting, so he could start again with a.. clear head, this time.
We all know he likes to take it out on him, i mean.. have you Seen Cross? Oh yeah, dad did Not like that guy.
But like.. we all know XGaster didn't actually see him as a kid, much less a person. He saw him as a tool, and when you're having a bad fucking day and something isn't working right and something is too fucking loud and the tv is humming and the weather is a little too hot and people are too Chatty and annoying and it's too fucking Bothersome the way things are going and oh.. and oh you planned meticulously!! You did everything right but nope, haha! It is Not going according to plan!! And this tiny thing is not making it any fucking better-!
Choking him to death, suddenly grabbing him in a fit of rage and just bashing his tiny child's head against the nearest surface, shattering his skull completely before it disintegrates into dust.
Do you think babybones skulls are still soft?
Just yanking his soul straight out of his chest and crushing it as hard as he can in the palm of his hand, clenching his teeth, his joints starting to Ache.
And then just.. taking a deep, slow breath, satisfied. Soul soothed and adrenaline tapering off, and leaving you with this sense of calm and clarity. And trying again, shaking his hand to get the dust off his fingers.
He can do it as many times as necessary, go back as may times as he wants until he gets this timeline Perfect, so what If he kills him a few times beforehand? It won't change anything, not really, cross won't even remember, no one will know But him.
Because when something isn't working right, when the tv isn't turning on and the remote's buttons are refusing to work, when the One Thing you want to do can't be done and the lights are flickering and you don't have a spare lightbulb and you can't Get one right now because you're doing something else that cannot be left fucking unattended-
When your tool isn't working, you hit it. And if you're in a really bad fucking mood, and it isn't working, then you break it.
You throw it against the fucking wall, you kick it away with your feet and you cuss and yell as you do it, chest heaving in pants before grabbing it and doing it again and againand again and again bashing it against the counter until the all anger is gone.
And if you can, you leave it there, now soothed, mind soft and pliant once again, and you go do your own thing for now.
Because really, who Cares? It doesn't even Matter. It can just be replaced.
You leave it wherever it is, on the floor probably, and go make your tea, read a book, take your mind off of it.
Not All of us have the luxury of breaking things when they don't work, we have to do things like- journaling, and screaming into a pillow.
So since he can, and he wants to.. well.. why wouldn't he?
It'll be back with the snap of a finger anyway, and the last packet of chamomile tea is right There, it'll be a shame to let it go to waste this timeline, so may as well.
Hey, who ever said no to self indulgence?
(How many times do you think he just.. left cross's dust laying there?)
Imagine killing your kid over and over and not even caring. Imagine killing a baby who's age isn't even two digits yet because you find it calming. Imagine murdering a child with soft baby teeth still because you find it Soothing to do so.
How many times did it happen? how many times did Cross's soft high pitched screams get suddenly cut off because children are so Small and so Fragile and have such little HP that it really doesn't take that much force at All to kill them.
How many times did XHaster call him over, voice clipped and short, for that Sole reason? For the sole chance to kill him? Pattering footsteps taking the stairs one at a time as they come down?
Does he look fondly upon those memories? Does he care for them at all? Surely you don't remember throwing your book across the room is frustration, so why would he, really.
#undertale multiverse#utmv#tw#tw child death#tw graphic#tw gore#not taking any chances on this one boys#tw child abuse#tw murder#cross sans#xtale#undertale headcanons#made me sick to write before I edited ot ngl 😭#like#i love it#but also#oh good god-#trigger warnings#oh yeah i would just like to state formally#for the record#I don't know SHIT about underverse#haven't seen an episode in like#what#five years?#so don't judge me too harshly😭

Why Emotionless Ink is Not The ‘Evil’ Ink in Underverse
I refuse to be told this any more, I’m putting my foot down, multiple paragraphs in coming.
There’s this common interpreation in Underverse, emotionless Ink is evil. I’m here to give you not one, but two different reasons I think this is completely wrong.
First off, if I can prove Ink is not evil at all, obviously his emotionless self will not be evil either.
So, reason number 1
Is Ink Evil in Underverse?
I argue, it all depends on your perspective.
Ink is working alongside XGaster because he was shown to have the ability to create new stories without creating new AUs or timelines. This was extremely appealing to Ink, as the truce he had made with Error: no creation, no destruction, meant this multiverse was essentially stuck in stasis. For someone like Ink, who lives off creativity, but also protects AUs, you can imagine how painful this was. So someone who could essentially ‘work around’ the truce was incredibly intruiging and Ink became friends or at least partners with XGaster for this purpose.
Both XGaster and Ink do not see other characters as ‘people’. They see them like we do. Characters. If you look at them through the eyes of the characters, trying to overwrite the multiverse and change the lives of millions of characters. Pretty evil. I mean, the entirety of the Xtale series explores the long lasting effects, the mental emotional impacts of character’s entire lives being controlled and manipulated over and over and over again, and them learning it happened. It’s what drove Cross to murder everyone in an attempt to free them all.
But from our perspective? From a creator’s perspective? Is that not what we do every single day? Play with these characters lives over and over and over again. Put them increasingly horrible situations just see their reactions. Are we not Ink and XGaster? Striving for better stories, or in their case a perfect one, regardless of the characters it hurts? That’s the question Ink and XGaster’s morality poses. Does supporting their cause make them profoundly immoral/evil or does it make them us. Are we evil? Obviously not. They’re just characters. But that’s exactly what these two think. So are they evil?
But that's not all, Ink also has a secondary motive to this beyond his own gain. A major underlying plot thread of Underverse is creators are abandoning his multiverse. It's dying!! This huge story with XGaster is a bid to restart and reinvigorate creator creativity. He's trying to save the literal multiverse's existence at the cost of whatever XGaster has planned.
Now, reason number two.
If you still say yes, Ink is evil for supporting the creation of XGaster’s perfect universe no matter who it hurts, I move to my second argument, which disregards whether or not you think Ink is evil in general, and says:
Okay, but him being emotionless does not change that in any significant way
Ink did become emotionless so he wouldn’t regret it, that is correct, but that is a choice his emotion-feeling self made. His emotion feeling self made the choice to become emotionless to accomplish this. His emotion feeling self was the one who supported this in the first place, and the only reason he needed to become emotionless was because he didn’t want anything to prevent him from making this happen, any doubts. If his emotionless self was the evil self, it would have been the one to make this decision, in contrary to his emotion self, but it is his emotion self that choose to do and support the things people may consider immoral. His emotionless self has no role to play in these decisions, it is merely a byproduct of the choices Ink makes. An emotionless person is no more capable of being ‘evil’ than someone who feels emotions, and to suggest the only reason Ink did what he did was because he was emotionless, is to ignore the motivations and desires of his character long before he became so. Feeling or not feeling doubt is not something that makes someone good or evil, feeling any emotion is not what makes someone immoral. It is the choice to either act on to or disregard those emotions in support of something immoral that makes someone evil. And that’s something Ink makes long before he’s emotionless, and something the emotionless side of him has no part in, as, if Ink wasn’t evil before he was emotionless, he can’t suddenly become evil because he is emotionless now. There’s no gain or loss of motivation to make an ‘evil’ decision there. He literally feels nothing. Any goals his emotionless self has have to carry over from his normal self. If Ink didn’t want to support XGaster in the first place and became emotionless, he wouldn’t suddenly gain the desire to join him. There would have to be immoral thoughts before he became emotionless, which he know is true, meaning the emotionless side of him isn’t suddenly ‘the evil one’. It’s just a means to an end for Ink. If you want to call Ink evil, that’s fine, but his emotionless self is not the evil one in comparison to his emotion self. In that case, he’s just evil.
This is why the idea ‘emotionless Ink is the evil one’ is in my opinon, a very wrong interpretation of his character.

and here we have our first WorldTale Original Character! Welcome Nico!!

ok guys. here’s the deal.
I’ve been putting off making this comic for a very long time telling myself “I’ll do something with it eventually” and I KNOW that I’m literally never going to finish it and I have no motivation to finish it. it sucks, because I was kind of happy with what I came up with for the conclusion back in 2019, but I just have no desire to dedicate time working on something that just isn’t vibing anymore for me and also caused me a lot of stress in trying to crank it out.
some of you probably saw this coming, seeing what happened to my other utmv comics, but I’m just not in the game anymore. if I had somehow managed to get this all out while utmv was still in the exploding process and while I was still into it (which also happened to be while I was still in college, which made it impossible as it was), it might have taken off more, but life just didn’t work out that way and I want to not worry about this anymore.
anyway, here’s basically what was going to go down. I didn’t plan to make the comic long, but at the point that it got to, it was about halfway done.
- the driftverse story -
nightmare and dream have been mysteriously combined into one person, under the identity of drifter. unconscious of this, they coexist as a single individual, until suddenly, they remember that they were once separate and split into separate consciousnesses with shared control of the body.
the two of them decide to venture forth and figure out the truth behind this mystery. how did they combine? was someone responsible for this? protagonist syndrome conveniently leads them exactly where they need to go, and after wasting time in underswap for 2 seconds and arguing the entire time, they go to xtale to discover that it isn’t a wasteland, and does, in fact, still exist.
after bumping into some teenager presumed to be cross, nightmare, who is in control of the body, attempts to make conversation, and then xgaster shows up and reacts kind of violently to their presence. dream takes over and makes them run away. nightmare and dream continue to internally bicker, and now they’re being chased by mystery boy, whose name is apparently wing and not cross. after dream insults nightmare to his face, nightmare gets very mad and basically gets them caught on purpose and also tells wing that his name is nightmare instead of drifter because dream and nightmare are both immature and stupid.
now we’re all caught up. the drifter condominium gets pushed into xgaster’s house, are told to take a seat at the table, and after a few tense greetings between two people who both talk like rich snobs, xgaster tells nightmare (who is still in control) that he knows who he is, and that his name is “drifter”. nightmare laughs it off. wing mentions that he was told that his name was nightmare, not drifter. xgaster’s expression has turned indescribably murdery, and nightmare continues to try playing it off while dream has a goddamn stroke in his head. xgaster tells wing to leave the room, and though he does, he waits outside the door and listens.
nightmare keeps trying to act like he doesn’t know anything even though xgaster vaguely interrogates him, mentioning that he should be “guarding the tree like he’s supposed to.” nightmare doesn’t budge until xgaster asks him why he’s ‘on a break’ for the first time in five centuries, and why he visited his world of all places, suggesting that he may be looking for answers.
nightmare and dream realize, by convenient memory plot glitches, that the reason they are one person is because of overwrite, and that xgaster is responsible for everything.
xgaster comments that he’s disappointed this outcome hasn’t worked out either, but he believes that progress is being made, although he’s saddened by the fact that he needs to start over again. nightmare explodes, demanding what gives him the right to toy with his and dream’s lives.
“you’re very naive, aren’t you? tell me, was it not my work and effort that saved you from your own incompetence? tell me it has not saved you from your inevitable mistake–a mistake that would affect the entire pitiful multiverse forever to come,” xgaster says, and it strikes a nerve in nightmare. “the only way you two will ever coexist is by coexisting by force.”
nightmare doesn’t even know what to think. he suggests that, perhaps, he has been saved from his mistake, but now he’s learned his lesson, got his memories back, and he can be separated from dream again. xgaster denies this, telling him that they can only coexist if they’re not aware of the past–aka continuing to live as one identity. xgaster brings up overwrite, about to reset everything again.
plot twist, wing was, in fact, listening the whole time, and xgaster’s villainous monologing has recovered all of his memories too. he runs in and stabs xgaster with his magic, and his personality suddenly seems different. xgaster starts blabbering about how wing was supposed to be the perfect son and that his coding had never failed him before. if you haven’t figured it out already, wing is a combination of ink and cross, just like dream and nightmare getting mashed together, and now ink has taken control and he’s not very happy that xgaster turned him into this against his will. “give it up for the world’s greatest asshole, and for once, it isn’t me!”
xgaster, after healing himself with overwrite, continues his villainous monologing, calling all of them fools for disregarding his judgment, telling them that what he’s doing is for the better of the whole multiverse. ink tells him yeah, sure, maybe things could be better, but then calls xgaster out on his perfectionism and tells him that perfect doesn’t exist, and it’s not funny anymore.
ink continues to suggest the possibility of taking overwrite from xgaster somehow to split them all up again. the three of them have a brief one-sided fight scene while xgaster teleports around the room and they pretty much destroy everything. xgaster is like “I have the power of a god, you can’t stop me,” and while this is going down, dream, still in the depths of subconscious, has a realization. they have access to the power of a god too.
dream and nightmare argue about this, dream suggesting taking the power of the tree and nightmare calling him an idiot, especially because xgaster could probably just undo it. dream says that, if they manage to get overwrite away from xgaster with it, they can just turn themselves back to normal. watching wing fight xgaster and get his ass kicked, nightmare is conflicted, but eventually concedes and tells dream that this is his responsibility only and he refuses to be the one who makes that choice.
dream takes control and they leave, xgaster and ink noticing and continuing to talk. after xgaster tells ink that there’s no point to resisting him, because ink knows inside how this is going to end, xgaster reveals to ink that none of this was even his idea.
putting nightmare and dream together, and putting ink and cross together, he says, was all dream’s idea in the beginning. to stop nightmare from taking the tree’s power, and to stop ink and error from fighting–error, who was implied to have never been created–they were all put together, and dream was to blame. ink takes this with a grain of salt, but this was all true.
from this point onward, the narrative gets foggy, because the script ends here. after fighting through the angry mobs of dreamtale that exist for some reason, dream consumes the power of the tree and plans to fight xgaster, but unfortunately he’s consumed by the overwhelming power because he’s kind of weak-willed. while he hunts down xgaster again, destroys him and likely takes overwrite for himself (note that he has the full power of the tree, and not just a percentage of it, so he’s basically in godmode), he and nightmare regain all of their former memories. turns out dream is partially to blame for nightmare’s original ‘life-ruining’ decision, thanks to his ignorance and insistent insensitivity.
their thoughts still separate, and nightmare still horrified at the events that have been taking place for the last while, he wonders why dream is silent and why he won’t tell him what’s happening. without a word, and a solemn expression on his face, dream overwrites everything again, creating a new rendition of the rewritten timeline rather than turning everything back to normal, and that was where the story was going to end.
so, yeah. the story wasn’t ever planned to have a happy ending. the cycle repeats, memories being lost, lives being manipulated and unqualified people playing god.
anyway, thank you for reading this comic while it was in the works!

Baby Shark AU
When XGaster prepares to move laboratories, he leaves Blank inside of Cross’s half full cage to encourage him to behave. The cage is knocked into the ocean and sinks to the depths, with Cross and Blank still inside
The vent that allowed the air for Blank to breathe now is letting the ocean water flood the cage. Blank holds their breath as long as they can, around 15 minutes, before they start to drown. Cross, bound and gagged, is completely helpless and is forced to watch his little sibling slowly struggle and suffer for the next few minutes. Just before they die, their mage abilities manifest early, turning them into a Thresher shark pup.
They spend the next few days trapped together in that cage, in the cold dark abyss before they are rescued by Ink and Error.
Cross takes Blank up to the surface to breathe. They struggle against shifting back but finally do so, as the stress of the transformation is too much for them.
They spend the next couple of months together, with Blank in shark form following and feeding off of fish, Neither want to be separated after everything that happened.
Cross eventually encounters Dream sunbathing and they start to bond. Dream is curious why a shark pup is following a mer but thinks they’re cute. As time passes Cross and Blank are eventually brought in to meet the shiver. Upon realising it’s a group of sharks, Cross tells Blank not to show their seal form in front of them, just in case.
Eventually the shiver is curious about Blank vanishing towards the surface every other day and send Killer to follow them, learning that they are actually a Selkie.
Upon confrontation Cross opens up more about their past and the shiver all express support for Blank.
Notes Blank shares Cross’s fear of the dark and tight spaces in this AU
Blank also develops a fear of drowning and for a long time is resistant to their seal form. Feeling to vulnerable and scared to do so.
At one point the shiver hunted a seal but both Cross and Blank got rather upset. They didn’t know why till later, but it reinforced Blanks refusal to stick to their true form.
As Blank shifted before they even learnt to walk in their legged form, most of their skin shifts are of the full animal rather than a mer.
Both Blank and Cross have intense separation anxiety.
A storm sweeps Blank away, they are eventually found by Blue and Geno (having had their leviathan mates meet recently to clear up Blue’s accidental trespassing)
While Ink and Error teach them a little about shapeshifting, Blank and Geno bond. Blank admires Geno’s strong seal form and eventually learns to accept their seal form and feel more comfortable in their own skin.
Eventual happy reunion with Blank returning to the shiver, more confident and independent than before.

power suppression either error or nightmare, or both i'm just curious what would happen if either of them get their powers suppressed
Power Suppression
Fandom: Underverse
Characters: Nightmare, Error, Ink, XGaster
Warnings: Power Suppression
Word count: 2,111
Summary: Error and Nightmare wake up in cells facing one another, in an AU that neither of them recognize.
Nightmare knew as soon as he opened his eyes that something was terribly wrong. For one thing, he could see clearly out of both of his eye lights, the second… He felt lighter than he had in a very long time. The third thing was that it was very dark wherever the hell he was currently. The last thing that he remembered was fighting Dream and Cross - the two of them escaping to places unknown as he and Killer just barely failed to go through the portal after them. Once he got his hands on Cross, that miserable fucking traitor was going to regret ever betraying him - then again, he’d been fucked around with by that Gaster of his timeline, so his decisions might not have entirely been his own.
He stood up, moving towards the pale source of light, stumbling a little and hissing as he realized that the source of the light was a magical force field that when touched - forced him back a couple of inches and stung.
In the pale white, flickering light, Nightmare glanced down at his hands, realizing that he was no longer covered in the tarry substance of the corruption that the negative apples had. His bones were white and he was… He was wearing his original outfit. Including - as he felt the top of his head - the golden circlet with the crescent shaped cut in the middle of it. Panic filled him as he tried to summon his tendrils, feeling something shift just outside of his full perception and agony shock through him, originating from his neck, wrists and ankles, driving the lord of darkness to his knees. He choked back the shriek of agony - not wanting to give his captors the satisfaction of hearing him react in pain.
Once the pain faded from his body and Nightmare could move - the fallen guardian of Negativity sat up, scowling as he tried to figure out just where he was. From what he could see of the hallway outside of his cell, all he could see was a white hallway in black trim. The color of the force field was strange - as in every AU he’d visited that had such magical tech, they were either light blue if they were a tale or a swap based AU, or red if he was in a fell or swapfell based AU. Occasionally it would be a light shade of violet in swap fells, but that was unusual. But never this over-bright white color.
Nightmare studied the magical shackles on his wrists, using the light to get a better look at them - noting the intricate carving of the runes that kept his powers suppressed and locked away. At least it meant that they hadn’t somehow taken the powers of the many apples he’d consumed from him. He had his power, though it was out of reach. He sat down and looked at the shackles on his ankles, finding much the same. Both sets of restraints were completely smooth - there wasn’t a groove or keyhole revealing a weakness that he might be able to exploit in trying to get them off. Not that there was much in the cell he’d been locked into - just a small cot fused to the floor, the material dark in color - and when Nightmare dragged the mattress he’d been laying on, it revealed to be the same flat black color as was on the trim on the walls outside.
Nightmare could very dimly sense someone close by. Having literally nothing else to do - and deciding that he was going to see if there was someone in the cell facing his - he called out (hating how light and soft his voice sounded in this weak form) “Hello? Is there anyone else down here?” Perhaps he could play the innocent, confused victim and con his captors into letting him go. Then he would make them suffer for daring do this to him. He knew for a fact that Dream hadn’t done this to him - for one thing, the other would never think to suppress his powers - and the second is that the other would be hovering at his side, waiting for the very moment that he woke up in order to try to talk.
He heard an agonized groan from the cell opposite of his, and the familiar figure of one glitchy outcode came into view. “WhErE tHE fUCk Am I? WhO aRE yOu?”
“I have no idea where we are - as for who I am… I’d rather not get into that right now.” Nightmare responded, not wanting to reveal who he was to Error just yet. “What’s important is - can you access your powers? I have some sort of… Restrictors on me that keep me from trying to teleport out of here - and there’s nothing in here that I can use to try to get out of them, either.” He’s never seen such an achromatic place like this before. Is… Was he dragged to an AU he’s never known before? By who, and for what purpose? Nightmare hated the lack of control, but was doing his best to suppress his emotional reactions. He won’t give them the satisfaction. “I have just a little bit of my passive abilities, but nothing more, as far as I can tell.”
“Of coUrSe I-” Error started, voice rough and staticky with irritation, before pausing for a moment. Less then a second later, the other let out a glitched yell of pain, and Nightmare noted that the other had fallen over backwards, completely stiff his arms and legs stiff and straight.
The lord of negativity waited patiently for the other to wake up, tapping one of his bare feet against the cool tile, keeping a regular beat inside his mind, finding that it took the other at least ten minutes to start to react again, groaning and shuddering on the floor, and another five to struggle up into a sitting position “I am sorry - I had just been about to warn you not to try to use your powers too much - the cuffs that they put on both of us caused me pain when I tried to use them.” He wasn’t really sorry - but pretending otherwise would hopefully encourage a sense of camaraderie between the both of them - so that if the other managed to escape his cell, it was less likely that Error would leave him to rot.
“HoW cOmE I didn’t h-hear yoU scReAmIng eArLIer?” Error demanded, squinting at him through the force fields “yOu LoOk LiKe A sWaP iN stRAnGe cLOtheS? WhAt Au ArE yOU fRoM?”
“You wouldn’t have heard of it, even if I told you. None of the outcodes have ever visited my AU… Not that there’s much left of it. It was destroyed long ago.” Nightmare responded factually. He sincerely doubted that Dream would have ever brought Ink to the shattered remains of their timeline - and while he did use it as his main base, he didn’t trust any of the outcodes enough to even think about taking them there. “I… I didn’t scream when the pain hit me. I-I didn’t want to give them the satisfaction of hearing me in pain.”
“fAIr eNOUgh. HoW dO yOU knOW whO I aM iF nO oNe HaS bEEn tO yoUR tIMELinE?” Error pressed, continuing to squint at Nightmare, arms crossed over his chest as he glared at him suspiciously. “I wILl fINd A wAY oUT anD tHEn I wIlL mUrdEr thE wOrtHLEss gLIitcHEs WhO cAUghT mE.”
Nightmare was about to give a version of the truth - something about Dream having visited his timeline on his own before - when both of them heard the sound of a door opening, and two sets of footsteps.
“And I am telling you, with Overwrite and your knowledge of their powers, neither one of them has had the ability to escape, my dear friend.” A smooth, low voice that neither of the two caged and currently powerless beings recognized reassured. “Their code is unusual - it will take me time to reprogram them into more useful tools. If you would allow me to look at the negative one’s other half, I am sure that I would be able to reshape both of them. I am unsure if I can fix… Nightmare? I believe that’s what you called him? Without Dream being present as well. They are bound together in a way that I have never seen anywhere in the multiverse before.”
“And I told you, XGaster, he’s in the omega timeline, and having both of them in the same timeline will cause issues that you cannot handle easily. Dream is by far the weaker of the two of them, but his positive aura will win over your people to his side. It’s part of how his powers work - and Nightmare will be far more stubborn if we have Dream here. And Dream won’t trust me if I bring him here.” Ink responded, shaking his head a little.
Error screamed at Ink “YOU SON OF A BITCH LE-LE-LET ME OUT OF HE-HERE RIGHT NOW! G-GET THESE F-FUCKING CUFFS OFF OF ME, AND YOUR D-DE-DEATH WILL BE FAST YOU MIS-MISERABLE SQUID! I WILL TEAR APART YOUR FA-FA-FAVORITE AUS LI-LINE BY LI-LINE!” He threw himself repeatedly at the force field of the cage, as if hoping to bash through it by sheer force of will, hissing in pain with every strike.
“I had given you a chance to join our game, Error. You refused to play.” Ink responded, his eye lights, flat white circles as he stared down at the other, as the glitch trembled and thrashed on the floor. He glanced over at Nightmare, a small twitch of his lips upwards, as if feeling a pale shade of amusement. Not that the other was actually feeling anything. “You really do look a lot like Dream. You’re almost… Sweet in this form, Nightmare.” The guardian of creativity walked over, staring at him.
“Why is Dream’s trust something that you are after, friend? I can give you what it is you truly want and desire. His aura is only effective when you are in his presence, and the light emotions make you weak.” The Gaster pointed out, resting a hand lightly on one of Ink’s shoulders.
“Dream’s presence helps to bolster my positive popularity, which allows me greater access to the AUs that we visit. He is also the best healer I have encountered in the entire multiverse and his gentle nature makes him an excellent companion.” Ink answered. “Why he seems to think that Nightmare can be redeemed, I do not know. But his hope to find a cure for whatever happened to him - as well as his belief that Nightmare can be redeemed is what keeps him going. You take either of those things away from him and Dream will shatter.”
“Oh, please do elaborate on that.” XGaster responded with a small smirk playing on his face as the two of them started to walk.
Nightmare growled, his eye lights flashing in anger as he stepped closer to the bars of the cell he’d been forced into “If you dare touch Dream, I will rip you apart. You can only hold me here for so long. Dream may trust you for now, but I know him better than you ever will, you arrogant, soulless bastard. If he ever hears so much of a hint of what you’ve done in this world, he won’t ever trust you again… And Cross is with him in a place where you can’t directly approach the both of them to keep Cross silent.” Despite his irritation, the fallen guardian was smirking a little. The truth would will out sooner or later - and there was no way that Ink would be able to keep Dream out of this AU - and the other would be drawn to his presence. He just needed to be patient.
Error started to thrash against the force field again, screaming obscenities until he suddenly went down hard, his eye sockets covered in errors - his whole body glitching out wildly. A loading bar popped up over the other’s prone body, ever so slowly inching towards full.
Gaster and Ink left the both of them, unconcerned. “With his magic suppressed, I suspect he’ll be rebooting for hours. Just after a reboot is when he’s most malleable.” Ink supplied, staring at the prone form of his long-time enemy.
XGaster nodded “Very well, let us continue speaking, while I show you what I have added since the last time this world was RESET.” The pair of them were silent until after they vanished out of Nightmare’s sight and hearing range.

If you haven't done it already, maybe do Blindfolded with Ink and Nightmare?
Blindfolded
Fandom: Underverse
A continuation from this
Characters: Nightmare, Ink,
Warnings: implied torture
Word count: 1,004
Summary: Ink questions Nightmare. It goes about as well as one would expect.
From the lingering pain in his body, Nightmare knows as soon as he’s conscious again that someone activated the cuffs on his neck, wrists and ankles - likely in order to move him somewhere without him knowing where he is being taken. He activates his eye lights… And sees nothing more than darkness. He feels the press of fabric against his eye lights and sighs a little. He raises one of his hands, frowning a little as he realizes that he can only move either of his arms a couple of inches before a force keeps him pinned. His legs are similarly bound.
The lord of negativity closes his eyes as he attempts to figure out if he can sense anyone around him. There’s no one around him, but he can hear whisper-light footsteps walking around. Which can only mean “Hello, Ink. I am curious as to why my accommodations - and my ability to move - have changed.”
“I have questions for you. Dream never told me why you and he know one another. But XGaster says that the two of you share a unique bond. I thought that you wanted him dead. How do the two of you know one another?” Ink asked, his voice emotionless - but there was an odd intensity in the other’s voice.
“Why should I answer your questions? If your own supposed ally won’t tell you of his past, and our unique connection, why should I?” Nightmare answered back, a smirk appearing on his face. He had no incentive to tell Ink anything about his shared past with Dream - and if the other had the good sense not to tell the soulless bastard, he certainly wasn’t going to talk. It was a little surprising though, as Dream was usually very trusting of everyone. “And I’ve never wanted Dream dead. Did he tell you that?”
“… No, but from the way that you two have clashed in the past, it was implied that you wanted to kill him.” Ink responded, his voice much closer than before. “You will answer my questions sooner or later. You are completely at my and XGaster’s mercy. Being cooperative will prove to the both of us that you do not need to be changed as much as we previously thought that you need to be, in order to be a proper tool.”
Nightmare laughed, the sound manic. Once he was able to recover his breath, the lord of negativity teased “You wouldn’t be the first to assume that you could break me, and nor will you likely be the last. I will never bow to the likes of you, nor the Gaster you have so foolishly allied yourself with. Gasters are always dangerous, and how do you know that he hasn’t changed you, like he has changed his world over and over again?”
“… He wouldn’t do that. We are friends and allies. Without me, he would have given up and allowed this world to fall into nothingness.” Ink responded flatly, though there was a hint of… Something in the other’s voice. Was that doubt? “We are getting off topic. What is your history with Dream? Why are the two of you connected?”
“Hmm… You know I believe I already told you once that I wasn’t going to tell you anything… And let me think….” Nightmare murmured, his voice dripping with sarcasm “Let’s see… No. I still have no reason whatsoever to tell you anything. Are you going to start torturing me now? I guarantee that I have been through much worse than what your pale imagination can come up with.” The single most painful thing he’s ever been through was the transformation with the apples, and he doubts that Ink can come close to doing anything like that to him.
“I did warn you that he would be prideful and stubborn, my dear friend. From what you told me, he is used to being in control in every situation - including ones where it seems as if he has little to none.” XGaster murmured, having suddenly appeared.
Nightmare could sense the other’s emotions - just barely. Part of him wanted to taunt them - but he suspected that would cause more problems then it would change. “I just don’t see the point in answering questions to those who would try to use it against me.”
“… I told you that he wouldn’t be easily bent to our will. No matter how sweet his face is now.” XGaster responded, clicking his tongue a little.
“A pity… But I suspect that the both of them will be quite happy to be together again, once the nonsense is cleared from Nightmare’s mind… And the both of them will be quite grateful to me as the one to save Nightmare from the darkness currently clouding his mind. Proceed with Overwriting him, dear friend of mine.” Ink responded, a strange note in his voice.
Nightmare did not like the possessive tone in the other’s voice - briefly wondering how the other was able to even feel something like that, being soulless and off of his vial that caused artificial feelings. Then he shivered a little, realizing that he does still have some sliver of his negative aura - which was influencing the soulless bastard. He shivered a little as he felt something latch onto his soul… Pain lanced through his body, but Nightmare refused to scream and thrash against his restraints. retreating deep into his mind, to detach from the pain that continued to claw its way through his body. Nightmare was just barely conscious as he heard the two of them speak.
“This will take longer than thought. There is something interfering with my ability to access his full code. I will need to study and remove it before I can change him - it may have caused the change that… Dream was it? Mentioned that he underwent before becoming the creature that he is now.” The Gaster mused.
“Very well. Be careful now, we need him alive.” Ink responded back.
Pain lanced through his body. Shit. The apples.
