#i read part of zero infinity and went 'neat error is criticism'

Concept doodles and musings

So so okay Memory lore because my brain ran so far away when I asked myself, ‘why are they a Sans?’ Which turned into ‘I think they’d suit an Alphys.’ to ‘Shapeshifting trickster spirit!’.

Lil ramble below cut! (beware I cannot organize my thoughts to save my life.)

Memory is the archivist of the multiverse, they document AUs, and when they are finally destroyed or abandoned, they write everything into a neat little story to be remembered fondly or to be learned from by the creators.

Much like Ink watching the aus' stories, they have a somewhat detached disposition when it comes to what ultimately happens to inhabitants at the ‘end’ of an AU. A death is a death, they’ve seen thousands, some slow and agonizing as a story struggles against its end in agonizing death throes, some simple and clean abandonment or simply ‘the end’.

Honestly I could see them taking destruction into their own hands if Ink and Error ever made an agreement like they did in underverse (no destruction no creation), they thrive on entropy, under these conditions they'd quickly turn to perfectionism for justification of their actions. (might explore that later)

They take whatever form leads them to be received best, often that is Sans due to the fact most of the monsters roaming the multiverse take the form of Sans. They’re favorite is probably Muffet (lotsa wings), their least favorite is Undyne (flying fish fins don’t actually enable flight), and Sans is what they call their comfort form. Out of simple habit it has become easiest to hold (outside of their true form)

I call their true form the Lindwyrm or the Librarian, this feathery dragon-like thing with one set of clawed talon like hands, three sets of wings at minimum, many eyes, possible some sort of halo, inside its mouth rather than a throat in another eye, yeah biblically accurate angle-ish mixed with a dragon vibes.

Tl;dr: Here's my little perfectionist chaos goblin who will fuck around and will also find out.
