Errored Birthday Party 2023

It's gonna stay a sketch because otherwise I'd never finish it. Also, this drawing is made as if AEJ actually finished (I never finished the story, but the ending is available via the epilogue/epitaph) and Lapse's design based upon the God portraits I did, available under under the aej tag.

All the Error's (minus Template, Errored, and Strings) are from my various series. Also finally nailed a design for cocoa lol, been having trouble drawing him for his series tlato (the lonely and the one).

Snippets of all the Error's stories and a bonus screenshot will be under the cut.

Cocoa -> my current/most recent series, The lonely and the one (only on ao3, although the og chapters are on tumblr) - Error is a lonely and near forgotten god, a terrifying myth that has been left behind even by his eternal enemy. But one hasn't forgotten, and has been waiting his whole life to meet Error.

Strings and Glitch -> Double Stitched (Rewrite) - Trust me rewrite is way better than the OG fanfic, Glitch accidentally ended up in a swapped universe, what will happen with this new chance he’s been given?

Survivor/Viver -> Putting Together Savorless Decisions (PTSD) - Short, but wholesome, nice hurt/comfort with a different take on the Ink and Error relationship

Ru -> I should - More Nightmare focused, still enjoyable and a different take on Nightmare with a more poetic one shot that evolved into a short story.

Star -> The Hidden Star - Ink cheats on Error, and overall chaos ensues. Started off with the idea of ink being a "wolf in sheep's clothing" but it evolved a lot.

Edwin and Neil -> The King and His Aid (Season 1) Nightmare is heir to the throne, and must find a queen, but he doesn’t want a queen, he just wants Edwin (Season 2) With a new start, what will happen? Who will they meet? Who’s Gene?

Balance -> From Memories to Trees - Also started as a one shot, much more extreme takes on opposite ends of the spectrum for Dream and Nightmare mixed with some internal problems and alternate beginnings.

Lapse & Chronic -> An Error’s Journey - Error’s been having these weird dreams… How does it affect his family and how will it change everything around him? Started as a headcanon story for Error’s past and now is a 12 page plot doc with the series at 100K+ words. If you want a very slow burn story full of world building that pulls out at all stops for everything with a focus for the small details, I strongly recommend reading it.

And the bonus screenshot because Neil and Edwin are too fuckin cute and need their own panel

Errored Birthday Party 2022

2019 - 2020 - 2021 - 2022

“Alright!” Template cheered, looking out into the small crowd in the living room. Everyone in some chair or couch, a few couples cuddling, others comfortably chatting while waiting, a single awkward newcomer. “Welcome back everyone! And happy birthday to us all!” He sat down, “Now we can do a quick introduction circle again, just your name and a bit about yourself and your multiverse.”

Template cleared their throat, “I’m Template, in my multiverse, I protect the AUs and fight against Pale!” He turned to the skeleton next to them.

“Errored. Original of you fuckers. Destroy AUs yada yada–do we really have to do this again?” Errored slouched in his chair, arms crossed.

“Yeah yeah tough guy,” The next person spoke with a smile, “I’m Strings, and my multiverse is swapped compared to the original. I run from Dream with Nightmare and Cross–and we’re humans. So that’s something.” Strings shrugged, turning to look at the skeleton cuddled up to their side, holding their hand.

“Ya can call me Glitch, was in a kinda fucked up multiverse, Gaster going crazy and Ink following along–until I ended up in Strings multiverse and running with them.” Glitch turned to Strings, “Also, ya forgot that we made peace with Dream.”

“Right, been so long I nearly forgot.” Strings shrugged.

“Lover birds aside,” The next skeleton joked, getting a few laughs out of everyone, “I’m Survivor or Viver. My Ink and I share PTSD from the antivoid, and all and all treat each other like brothers now.”

“You all can call me Star, in my multiverse Ink and I had a truce, even dated for a bit, but drama went down and we broke up and eventually repaired things. Now we co-parent this kid PJ and I’m happily married to Outer.”

“You lot call me Ru, Nightmare, and Dream had their whole deal, but we got a truce going and the gang and I are dating.”

“Hello again everyone,” The Error of the next two of them started, “I’m Edwin, and this is my Husband Neil, Neil used to be heir and King of the kingdom we lived in, but we ran away to live our own lives, and also ended up raising a kid.” Neil nodded along.

“Hey, Balance is what I go by here, Dream and Nightmare are deities in my multiverse, after some drama and misunderstanding, we all live together and got a truce. The gang’s more like a bunch of kiddos me and Night watch over, Fresh included.”

“‘Ello, last time I went by Deity, but Lapse is gonna be a lot easier for me, a second name I use in the Omega verse… Last time not much was happening, but now my memories of the past are coming back, and I’m connecting with the Stars and the gang. Then Nightmare, Death, and Ink too-? Are close to me, trying to convince Dream to be more comfortable with us still.”

“See, told ya, just took a bit for your story to get going.” Viver spoke up, “How about you newbie?” Everyone turned their attention to the shy fidgeting newcomer.

“Well, we are in the same multiverse as Lapse, although we’re the gatekeeper of our multiverse! Core acts as watcher and Error- ...Lapse is God of Destruction. Although we have a similar past to Lapse, it’d take far too long.” Chronic shrugged.

“No problem big guy,” Glitch laughed.

“Alright!” Template stood up again, “Feel free to walk around and get to know each other, talk, catch up, whatever! Cake will be done in a little bit here.” Template smiled and people regrouped.

The two couples flocked to catch up, talk of weddings and how their counterparts had been. Others went to talk to Lapse, asking how he’d been and catching up on what had been going on with their truces in place. A few were collected in their own groups. On the other hand, Chronic moved to Template.

“Hello again, Chronic!” Template smiled, “Still so glad you came, if Core had told me last time I would’ve given an invite, honestly. Didn’t expect two Error’s in the same multiverse! Never thought the Strings and Glitches situation would happen again.”

“It’s alright, don’t worry about it.” Chronic smiled in return, bending a little to talk to the much shorter Template, “We were handling some things of our own, so there is no reason to worry.”

“Sorry, curiosity and all, we? Is that why you have… multiple? Voices?”

“Yes, we have a few souls under our belt, although we are technically still Error. He takes the front seat most of the time, at least with Lapse.” Their voice dripped, an aura of magic surrounding it.

“Oh, alright. I think I gotcha.” Template smiled, “Thank you all for joining us then- uh, should I refer to you just as Chronic together, or-?”

“Just Chronic’s al’ight with us.” Their voice changed again, and Template smiled once more, nodding.

The oven dinged, and Template ran off with a quick sorry, pulling the cake tins out of the oven and grabbing the icing from the fridge.

“Need some help with that?” Lapse walked in, leaning against the island, looking over at the cakes.

“That’d be great, thanks. I didn’t know you could do baking?” Template replied, setting a bag of icing next to Lapse before getting to work.

“Well, when you start owning a coffee shop, I kinda have to know how to make the treats that are sold. Plus helping out Ccino is always fun.” Lapse smiled, working alongside Template, “...thanks for inviting Chronic, they’re usually stuck to their realm. Honestly, I’ve never actually seen them talk to anyone other than Core and me.” Lapse confessed

“Of course, I didn’t think there’d be two Error’s in the same multiverse–But I’m making sure to invite them from now on!” He smiled, and Lapse seemed to pause, before continuing to ice the cake, “Core speaks so highly about the two of you. They really are proud of you guys. Almost reminded me of how Edwin and Neil talk about their kid Thomas or Star with PJ.”

“...Never thought about that.”

“Hmm?”

“Oh- uh, Core’s been helping out a lot with my multiverse, just… didn’t think they cared like that.”

“They care a whole lot!” Template smiled, and Lapse returned it.

The cake was there and gone, as to be expected with chocolate and a room of Errors. However, everyone stayed at the table, and a bowl was pulled out. “Everyone’s names are in the bowl, and we can randomly pick and if your name is called, you choose a gift from the middle. Each gift can be stolen at most twice before it can’t be stolen again.” Template explained while shuffling all the paper, “Lapse!”

With a small smile, Lapse reached into the middle, grabbing a present and tearing it open.

“A… token?” Lapse pulled a necklace from the small box, a shining token engraved with carvings dangling from it.

“I’m a little sentimental when it comes to coins.” Viver shrugged, Template moved on, drawing a new name:

“Ru!”

The token was quickly stolen, and Lapse sighed with a smirk.

“Really?”

“Yeah, Night would love this.” Lapse shook his head again, grabbing a new gift, opening the bag, and pulling out small toys.

Each toy was carefully knitted with sewn accessories, the appearance of each of the gang copied with detail. They were a little different from the typical gang, but still Nightmare’s gang nonetheless.

Lapse seemed speechless, and Ru smiled softly. Template continued: “Chronic!”

With a mischievous smile, a shadowy tendril stole the token. Ru rolled their eyes and grabbed a new gift. “And that one is locked!” Template cheered.

The new present Ru opened held a lot of ingredients for cookies, mostly chocolate. Balance smiled cheekily.

“Next is Errored!”

With a huff, he used his strings to grab a present from the middle, raising a brow at the garden kit. Template merely shrugged, “Thought some people might like it, next up, Edwin and Neil!” Who promptly stole the kit.

With an exaggerated sigh, Errored grabbed a new gift, coffee beans, cups, and chocolate.

“Have ya ever had a mocha?” Lapse spoke with a smirk, Errored raised a brow, “Trust me.”

Template shook his head, pulling the next name: “Oh, me!” A new present from the middle revealed a large plush quilt, which he eagerly wrapped around his shoulders. The initials “G.S.” were written on the tag, Glitch and Strings chuckled.

“Viver!” Another new gift from the pile, and they pulled out a bean bag toy with floppy ears. A cute little bunny. Errored sunk lower in his seat, a blush coating his cheeks. “It’s okay, it’s cute-”

“I didn’t bring it-” Errored began to argue, everyone just rolled their eyes.

“Star! Your turn!” The bunny was stolen, “For PJ?”

“For PJ.” Star smiled, and Viver grabbed a new present again, opening the bag to the smell of fruits, tart sweets, and tea bags packed carefully. Neil and Edwin just looked innocently.

“Balance!”

Balance pulled one of the last two gifts from the table, opening to a wonderfully soft galaxy hoodie, Star smirking.

“Last but not least, Glitch and Strings!”

“Our luck really run that low?” Strings inquired, “We used to go first all the time!” They joked as Glitch pulled and opened the last present.

“Damn! Who made the blanket?” Glitch spoke up, holding the gift they had got. A finely detailed blanket, the thread bleeding between dull colors of the rainbow and embroidered with a bright white and cyan thread.

Chronic raised their hand. “Nice! How’d you get this detail? Took ages for Strings and I to get the quilt we brought done.” He pointed over to the plush quilt wrapped around Template’s shoulders.

“Practice, loads of it.” They chuckled, “And we spent a decent amount of time spinning the cotton before knitting it. Then dying it took us even longer.” Their voice switched around.

“You spun the cotton-? And dyed it yourself-?” Edwin spoke up, “All respect to you.” Chronic smiled wide.

From there everyone began to separate, saying goodbyes as they headed home, although Template stuck around.

“Template!” A voice called from seemingly nowhere.

“Core!” He ran over to the shorter, “Long time no see! It’s great seeing you again!”

“Of course, same to you.” They smiled, eyes darting around as Chronic peeled back from their corner and Lapse left from the group he had been talking to, “Thanks so much again.”

“Of course. It’s no problem at all.” Core nodded, “See you all next year!”

“See you next time, old friend.”

Errored birthday Party 2020

UT!Error (Errored), Template, DS!Error (Strings), UV!Error (Glitch), FMtT!Error (Balance), TkahA!Error (Edwin), IS!Error (Ru), PTSD!Error (Viver), THS!Error (Star)

2019 - 2020 - 2021 - 2022

“Welcome back everyone!” Template cheered, “Sadly Reboot and Middle weren’t able to make it, but--we have five newcomers! And a guest!” the newcomers shyly waved, “So… introduction circle again!” He smiled

The year had come and gone, and while they were able to set up everything for another party, sadly not everyone was able to go. Middle wanted to stay at home to spend the day with his brothers and Reboot got caught up protecting his multiverse.

Nonetheless, they still managed to get five new Error’s and what Template suspected to be one of their boyfriends to come.

“I’ll start! Hi all, the name’s Template, and I protect the Au’s from Pale!” The sans variant said simply, “Your turn!” he pointed to the skeleton on his right. Sighing the skeleton rolled his eyes.

“I’m the original still, I guess I’m going by Errored. Hate the Au’s and destroy them for fun.” Errored shrugged before looking to his right.

“Hi everyone, You can call me Strings, I come from a universe where everything runs a little differently than the original. Nightmare Cross and I are on the run from Dream and his organization.” Strings, explained, using the hand that wasn’t holding the skeleton’s to his right to gesture.

“I’m Glitch,” the next Error started, “And I come from a multiverse where everyone’s a little crazy, mainly Ink--but I somehow ended up in Strings’ multiverse so I’m also on the run with him.” Glitch looked to his left, the first new skeleton to speak up in the circle.

“Hey, You can call me Viver, my multiverse Ink and I share PTSD from the AntiVoid and treat each other like brothers,” Viver explained,  “That’s about it.” A little grimmer of a multiverse, but it seemed to have a nice ending. Template winced hearing how the AntiVoid had affected him, but all multiverses were different. Even by a small detail as that.

“Hello, other mes’? Error’s?” The next skeleton started, “Ok, bad introductions aside, friends have nicknamed me Star, so I’ll go by that. My multiverse I dated Ink for a while some cheating and weird stuff happened, and now we’re co-parenting a kid that is made from our past battles.”

Weird and out of there, and a kid with the enemy? Defiantly not expected, but once again, it sounded like paying a penny for a dollar. The end seemed to be good, despite all the angsty sadness that was probably rolled into it. The next skeleton quickly picked up where the other left off.

“You all can call me Ru, and my multiverse is… to put it best weird. Cutting a story short, I’m happily dating my boyfriends, or well, all of Nightmare’s gang and Nightmare himself--and have a multiversal truce with the Star sans’.” Ru explained going straight to the chase. Once again weird, but different. A thought of a creator imagined.

“I guess I’m next, Error’s my middle name, so, I’ll just go by my first name, Edwin. Our multiverse sounds… to put it lightly, drastically different from all of yours.” Edwin struggled to explain, looking to the dark skeleton next to him for help.

“The easiest way to explain everything would be to simply say that Edwin and I are best friends, and not long after I was crowned king of our Kingdom, we ran away to get away from the royal life and eventually moved to America.” Edwin’s best friend explained although template had a feeling that wasn’t all they were, “I’m Neil by the way, although from the sounds of it, you all would probably know me better as Nightmare.”

The last person was up, and then time to relax and talk.

“Heya, suppose I could go by balance, in my multiverse Nightmare and Dream are Deities of emotion and Night and I are considered the dads of the gang. Although I parent Fresh more than anyone of ‘Mare’s boys.”

Standing up and clasping his hands together, Template smiled. That went way more smoothly than last time!

“Alright! Feel free to talk to one and another, and when everyone’s ready, cake time!”

It took time and coaxing on Template’s part, but soon everyone was in one group or another talking. Viver and Errored managed to get talking. Ru and Star started talking about “The gang” and things similar to that. Glitch and Strings were flirting and throwing jokes left and right. Then Balance got Edwin to get out of his shell and bit and open up, Neil standing nearby, a string subtly connecting him to Edwin.

Walking over to the more closed off of everyone, Template gently interrupted, “Edwin, Neil! Have you met Glitch and String yet? I think you all would get along pretty well. Oh! And Balance, have you tried talking to Ru and Star? Think they’ve been gossiping about the weird and silly things their gang has done.”

“Alright, see you two.” Balance waved, walking over to the gossiping Error’s quickly joining in with his own stories of their gang and the shenanigans they have pulled.

“Glitch String!” Template yelled out, catching their attention as he gently pulled Edwin and Neil over, “I think the four of you would get along well! I mean, all of you do have a background of running from something or another. Maybe it could be a bonding topic? Oh! I think someone’s calling me over, bye!”

And with that, Template left them be.

“So you guys are on the run too?” Glitch started, leaning back into the couch as he cuddled into Strings who chuckled at him trying to nonchalantly be clingy.

“We used to be,” Neil started, sitting down on the other side of the couch, Edwin sitting a little ways from him, but not too far. Their hands still connected by the string, “Thankfully, Ian- um, Ink is now head of the court and stopped the searches for us.”

“Court? You live in a medieval era?” Strings questioned, happily snuggling back into Glitch. Blatantly showing their love, further confusing Edwin and Neil.

“Actually, we live in the 1900s, we have some technology, but not a lot. We rely on magic for a lot of things.” Edwin explained, “U-um, are you two dating?”

“Hmm?” Glitch hummed, unsure why the other was so nervous about asking, “No need to be so anxiec, and yeah, we are. Is being gay a big no-no or something for you guys?”

“Y-yeah...” Edwin sighed, looking away.

“Don’t worry, you guys are safe here, I think literally everyone in this room is gay… so. Yeah, we’d be hypocrites otherwise. Ru’s got his boyfriends, and from what I’ve heard Star is married to this guy outer, and he used to be dating Ink-who is also a guy so, you’re plenty safe.”

“Oh thank magic,” Edwin sighed, immediately laying back against Neil, who wrapped his arms around his aid, pressing a soft kiss to his lover’s skull.

-----

With Edwin and Neil finally relaxed and a lot more open about their relationship, Template moved everyone to cake and presents. Everyone sat comfortably in the living room, the dining room a little small for the number of people they had.

Soon everyone was settled, cake set aside for now or eaten, and all the presents were set in the middle. Just as last year, all the names were put in a hat. Once the rules were explained, Template let Errored pick first, starting the white elephant.

“Glitch… ” Errored spoke, “Seriously?! Again?! You were first last time!” He yelled angrily.

“Luck of the draw,” Glitch replied smoothly, grabbing a random present from the middle, finding supplies for battle or training carefully wrapped and put away in a box. “Fuck yeah! Now, this is what I call weapons.” Balance chuckled, mumbling a little something about having help from his gang in picking his gift. Errored eyes lit up.

Next Strings drew, pulling out Ru’s name.

Who quickly stole the supplies. So quick to stealing.

“They were so good,” He dramatically sobbed, before dropping the act and grabbing a new present. A cookbook and knitting supplies. Star gave a small smile. Glitch grumbled as he drew out the next name.

“Edwin.” The aid quickly grabbed the baking and knitting supplies.

“Come on?!” Glitch yelled, getting further frustrated as Strings pulled the tantrum-throwing skeleton into his lap, giggling and patting his head.

Pulling over a new gift using his magic, he tore it open, revealing a simple blue kitted pillow and blanket, Errored gave a short nod. Seemingly proud of his work.

Next was Viver, who grabbed a gift from the middle, get not so useful art supplies that he could probably regift to his Ink.

Then Star’s name was called, and Viver was the new object of torment, Star stealing the supplies for his son. Star groaned. Once again grabbing a gift from the middle.

This time, it was likely from Strings, a carefully sewn doll in Classic’s liking, a bag of clothes of the different Au sans’ in the box with it.

Next Templates’ name was called, and, deciding to try and get the rest of the gifts open, grabbed something new. More art supplies. He looked over to Viver, who gave a small shrug.

Then Strings went. Opening a new one again, he was presented with a carefully tailored suit of armor that had deliberately stitched under clothing. From a chest plate to shoes, it was well made. Whipping his head he looked over to Edwin and Neil, who smiled innocently.

“You guys said you did tailoring and blacksmithing but--DAMN.” Strings spoke enthusiastically, already admiring the detail and care put into it.

Balance’s name was called and he much like many others wanted to steal the suit.

“Nooooo, I’m still admiring it!” String’s whined as it was slowly pulled out of his hands.

“You can admire it when I’m wearing it.” Balance smiled deviously as Strings continued to pout, already grabbing a new present.

The new present wasn’t as big or grand as the literally handcrafted suit of armor, but Ru’s gift was still good. A series of books that he had explained to be invested in--after his Nightmare had gotten him into it--paired with a hot cocoa set and some bagged snacks as well as treats.

The last name to be pulled was Errored, who, despite looking like he wanted to steal the doll, decided to just end everything and pull the last gift from the middle, who could only be from Glitch.

Spiced chocolate, movies, and several extra buttered packets of popcorn. Nothing that Errored wouldn’t be content with.

After many more hours of talking, hanging out, and even more stories being told and shared, Everyone departed. All put back in their rightful multiverse’s. Until they would see each other again the next year.
