Summary:
"I'm... you're still my baby brother. I have to protect you." His voice is firm, now, the smile is gone. The apple in his hands beckon. "From yourself too, if I have to." His hand raises- and he bites the apple. Not once, like Nightmare had, not twice- three full bites, before his beloved sibling could even react.
When Dream Shatters, Nightmare is thrown into a spiral of events orchestrated by the creators. Why is it his job to save a multiverse that hates him? Bitter- he gets to work, collecting strays along the way, before the creators (or his brother) get a chance to steal his new-found comfort from him.
Meanwhile, things go from bad to worse for Ink, who's best friend has suddenly changed personalities, and everything he knows about the multiverse collapses when he meets the envoys of the gods.
Disclaimer, I haven't watched Xtale
so the original point of Error is: he's a bitch bastard who believes the multiverse is a big pot of bullshit and wants to personally murder the shit out of eeeeverything....but the original timeline. his objective is to destroy EVERYTHING until only that one timeline is left.
Ink's original purpose isn't to nurture creativity; it's to MAINTAIN AND UPKEEP ORIGINAL PLOTLINES. He's in universes not to fix them, or better them, but to ensure they don't deviate from their assigned plot. He does make smaller "sacrifices" but it's not to have friends or keep Blue and Dream by his side, it's just that the creators give them more plotlines outside the bounds of their own AU and by that point the original AU is too far gone to fix, so whatever.
So to me that gives Error VS Ink a few different flavors; one is the one I like to call "Stable-Verse". There's no balance, no limit, just infinity. Ink wants to upkeep the plotlines and please the creators (which, within himself, is also to prevent more art block aus from being created. If you love on the creator and their AU they're less likely to leave it incomplete). Meanwhile, Error destroys and wrecks AUs, and creates more outcodes via the survivors, which is contrary to his belief system, because the outcodes pollute more universes and plotlines and Error essentially undoes his work. The star Sanses are helpful not because they're his friends but because their objectives line up more often with Ink's than Ink's objectives line up with others.
In my opinion, Ink doesn't like XG for his "creativity", but because OVERWRITE could technically be helpful not in the way Gaster uses it, which goes against Ink's core principles, but because it could make fixing up the og plotlines so much easier if he has it, right? which means just allowing the man's games to happen. Besides, having a soul has always been Ink's dream, right?
the other flavor of "two-sided coin" I like is "Balance-Verse". The balance is a thing, both in terms of emotions and in terms of multiverse size. You go from "you know what, I wanna do this thing I believe in" to "there's a voice in my head. BETTER DO WHAT IT SAYS HUH"
thus, the beautiful AO3 tag of "forced god of creation!Ink" and "forced god of destruction!Error". The tags disclaimer it a lot: they don't necessarily always want to do these things. You get a much less calculating, sweeter Ink who's hand is kinda forced by the creators to fix shit up all the time for them, and a cynical but much more relatable Error who doesn't have a choice and physically has to destroy universes in order for the multiverse to not fucking explode.
Or, you know, they die and get replaced.
Or, worse, they can't die and are condemned to an eternity of doing the creators' bidding.
Here, they're only opposing forces because of misunderstandings and plotlines. They're actually much friendlier if they can just talk it out instead of duking it out.
....I'll be honest, that second flavor is my favorite. Tastes like dread. and Sanshipping.
(let me shill my Balance Verse fic rq :skull:)
What are your thoughts on Error and Ink having a creation/destruction balance?
LOVE IT OMG
I love when characters contrast but still fit together like a puzzle
Id say They're both chaotic neutral, and both have their own creative medium they enjoy (Ink loves every medium while Error's forte is knitting)
I like how they're so different but they're still friends. Even with their roles and their jobs
Technically, from what I understand, Ink's role isn't necessarily to create AUs but instead to nurture the creativity the creators of them have, example being XGaster. He didn't make Xtale as far as I'm aware but he encouraged Gaster with his creativity and his ability to OVERWRITE. (if I'm wrong on that I'm sorry it's been a while since I watched XTale djdjndnd)
Error's role is one I don't understand as much tho. Does he just destroy worlds on a whim or does he have reason to? And does he really destroy them or is it more complicated than that like with Ink? I feel like I know more about Ink than I do Error tbh (and that makes me SAD cause I love Error fhdhhdnd)
If yall ever see anything just rambling about Error or talking about canon Error facts n lore n stuff feel free to tag me in it cause I could sit and read about him all day :3
Dusk is so pretty.
This made me want to draw his ecto properly, so I might do a renaissance style painting (not really I suck at painting) about it. But uh. Later. Right now I'm doodling other people's characters!!!!!

The entire chapter one of UNDERWISHER. I might continue this later? I'm not sure.
Haiii!! :D
I just wanted to say I love your newest fic and its preview comic, it feeds my hunger not only for Fresh content, but from the perspective of his host no less, that's also friendly towards him! (LunaMiuna guest account in ao3 comments is indeed me btw) It resembles my own daydreams about Fresh except in place of Epic is my skeleton OC, Arial. I can ramble to you all about them if you want, as well as my new parasite OC akin to Fresh! Would you want that? •v•? No pressure tho-
Also, I really like your portrayal of Fresh. Loved that cold and uncaring yet chill and friendly attitude, it's so fresh, hehe. :>
Oh my, thank you! I replied to all your comments, by the by ;)
Fresh is indeed pretty chill.
Hey, if you like my writing, why not check out the other things Solis and I have been writing and posting?
As Solis is on break for a few more days, there won't be any updates to Yet Another Parasite, but the other two are still updating as I have more things to correct and eventually post.
It could give you a lot of context to what the hell the setting for their multiverse is too, and heck, I like your comments :')
Speaking of comments, I'm gonna be using a lot of comments to make the Creator's little speeches during the fics...
Thanks again for correcting my little 4 am fuckups.
Oh, and-- Cross' trauma will make much more sense when Yet Another Battle catches up to his part of the plot more. Yet Another Mistake is Dusk and Fatal as a pair (Dusk is my baby boy I could rant about him to you if you'd like).
As for your OC, hells yeah, rant!
*throws this at you.*
