rahh thinking abt how to write characters. like i dont want to just do i right i want it be perfect (still fighting against that because it's impossible)
one thing that constantly hangs me up is the ship After'Destructive'Death'Mare (Geno/Error/Reaper/Nightmare)
Error and Geno arent romantically involved, before you ask. if my words come to me properly id explain it as more? queer platonic type thing? but eh whatver
i havent really written anybody besides well... cross (whoops) so im a little nervous to write literally anybody else. ill try tackling geno first though hmm
geno's past involved witnessing genocide after genocide route to eventually ending up watching them all. so the guy became a little traumatized jaded and not including my own version of his backstory (just me projecting so dw abt it) geno is a pretty rough character. i understand him becoming more afraid of growing attached to people because well! what if they?? disappeared and all that. the guy has attachment issues and is probably clingy (dont tell him that) to anyone that gives him the light of day.
eventually, error and fresh (accidentally?) drop into the save screen. geno has no idea who these two are and is immediately defensive. he hadnt heard of any destroyer of worlds or body snatching parasite so these are just some oddly colourful strangers. after some shenanigans and visits fresh announces them all as bros (much to geno's amusement and error's horror)
at some point during this (also during life being missing perhaps? or is that way before??) reaper drops in to reap this overdue soul. geno puts up a fight against literal death but crumbles at their feet when his energy is spent. reaper brushes geno's head to kill him yknow and he doesnt die?? that send reaper into a panic and they teleport away. geno doesnt know abt this and just supposes theyll either kill him or wont. doesnt matter that much to him (lying)
error talks abt nightmare at some point and geno is admitedly interested. reaper and error are also being idiots and not addressing their obvious feelings for each (and reaper with geno) geno ignores his own feelings towards reaper and tells them to just tell error already so he can have some peace. during this reaper was trying to find a way to get geno out of the save screen with the help of knowledge (alphys). the entire thing comes out with some involvement from fresh. (not important but error has a small fondness towards ink that they dont address)
nightmare gets egged on by their boys and blue and lust probably. the whole confession is a mess with nightmare and error getting together and geno and reaper struggling. reaper and geno accidently confess over something dumb that makes them both go "finally". nightmare and geno meet over zoom call (error window im sorry) and nightmare and reaper hit it off funnily enough. error and geno groan over their shenanigans.
they have a bunch more dates like that, error making a portal to let nightmare and geno talk until they become comfortable enough for them all to just crash in the save screen. the boys dont see nightmare as much but thats okay because they have their own things going on
error works on their desire to destroy and also touch phobia. the pain they feel from touch never entirely goes away but they get better at ignoring it at times. the closest theyre able to get during their dating period is hand holding. hugs are still very very scary. turns out geno is incredibly touch starved! who wouldve guessed?? but yeah, two glitches. one desires touch while the other actively avoids it. fun
reaper is very flirtatuous with everyone and is usually taken aback by nightmare's flirts back which is always fun.
error and nightmare know spanish. error kind of always knew every language but actively practiced spanish and english. nightmare had to learn english and always speaks in a proper way(?) geno and reaper are trying to learn spanish too and i really really want to just. actually wait reaper would know all languages right? so many years might as well try to learn it right? boom, 3/4 are fluent in anything other than english (sorry gen) geno probably learned all the ways to tell someone to shut up so
oh!! error knows ASL and so does. maybe everyone else? family bonding activity?
on good days geno and error are usually really close to each other. they dont notice when they cling to each but it's incredibly amusing for the onlookers
error made hats for everyone or knitted a gift for them at least twice
nightmare likes carrying geno around.
tallest to smallest: error (5'7) reaper (5'5) nightmare (5') geno (4'5)

I decided to do a three-minute challenge: use a wheel, pick a sans, look up their design, look at it for a few seconds, and try to draw them in that time. Here's how it went!
Round 1
Round 2
It actually wasn't so bad; I may do it where I have to look at the design for a few seconds and cannot look back at it again till I'm done. dunno. It was fun! (edit: oh also not all of the designs are canon compliant. For example, i gave outer sans star freckles and a swirly skull cause i thought it fit lol)
(edit 2: oh my god i forgot the credits! whoops!!
(demi sans by crudaka, nightmare & dream by @jokublog, outer by 2mi27, geno by @loverofpiggies, dance by teandstars and sterrenschijnse, epic by @yugogeer012, horror by sourapplestudios, mafia by nyublackneko, reaper by renrink, omega by tratserenoyreve)
Here's the wheel I used:
