Disclaimer, I Haven't Watched Xtale

One thing i've run up against when dealing with fandom and characters making less than ideal choices is that people seem to treat a character's decision being sympathetic, the decision being understandable, the decision being reasonable, and it being objectively the best solution for the situation, as synonymous. When those are 4 very different things.

  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.

Why

I've said it once before. I can't afford to keep doing this, getting invested in people who don't love me anymore. (/p) Call it trust issues,

But we both know they weren't coming back. One of us had to leave eventually.

I did take something I shouldn't have. I'll give it back. They can do whatever they want with it.

umm i need reassurance that my presence is wanted but i can’t ask for reassurance because that’s really Embarrassing and it wouldn’t feel genuine if i asked for it

the file name for this was "the honk legion" because like chuckles, this guy is a clown with dark quips aplenty

I have so much to say about him but tbh he was kinda made as a sort of....idk. System and DID representation? full disclaimer, I don't have it, he IS NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE OR EVEN AN ACTUAL SYSTEM BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY I DO NOT HAVE A SYSTEM AND I DO NOT WISH TO OFFEND ANYONE.

either way, yes. this is based off the idea that some multiverses might have a hard universe limit. when Error and other destroyers slack off, the universes on the outermost part might collide with the border, and each other, causing universes to collapse. this one is exactly this: three universes topple like dominos. The semi-sentient AU created as a result decides to fix it by.....uh.... *checks notes* fusing every single similar entity into one. So, instead of having Horror + Fell + Outer, you get this mess:

Legion.

Oh, and throw in the Error who failed to upkeep the entire thing, for comedic effect.

The four personalities of Legion cohabitate inside of his one body, regularly switching between each other to make said body properly function. Generally speaking, only one or two Sanses will be focused on the "outside", whereas the rest of them will be lounging around or chatting in headspace.

They do not use the nicknames "Horror/Fell/Outer/Error", and actually go by new ones (mostly out of a general agreement that "sans" is too annoying at the moment to use, and that they can't be bothered to fight over who gets to keep "sans".

Horror = Pumpkin, or Pumps (like the shoes, funnily enough. Pumpkin/Horror has a versed interest in fashion, choosing to just...not deal with their food intake. He has tried to ask Toffee for help learning how to knit, but it turns out he's just not patient enough.)

Outer = Star (Some people nick him Starburst. He's admittedly the most laidback of the group, being the main person in charge since he has the healthiest habits out of them all.)

Error = Toffee (This version of Error is actually a variant of a variant of Geno from a variant of an aftertale. Toffee being the nickname delivered to him by the Creators, for the color of his bones and the appearance of his blood when in the save screen. Of course, it didn't stick, as he turned into Error shortly after the voices manifested.)

and finally,

Fell = Pepper (as in, a bell pepper. His original nickname was Velvet, but the others just could not let it go when they witnessed him just...bite into a bell pepper like an apple. It has evolved into him keeping it as his name, because clearly there was no beating the meme)

FEEL FREE TO ASK ME MORE ABOUT THEM OMG.

(here's a very old design of him from five years ago, not accurate anymore.)

What about French Charas? 'Cause Chara has a latin root it very much is an old-ass, unused since 1200, frenchie name. CH is pronounced K in french too.

Gimme a French chara with the thickest fucking accent please

oui oui bonjour baguette

My favorite number is nine hon hon hon

Trnacript: Everytime a chara is made British an angel looses their wings </3 (I will accept irish or Scottish chara if they absolutely must be European, but in my heart they are southern mid western American) (frisk is Samoan)

Rex is an evil little menace we luv him

Don't praise him... he'll like it too much.

Eek trying to thinner lineart send help

I probably won't be finishing this ever, so: here goes!

this is set in an alternate universe. Might turn it into a fic too.

(y'all better thank @solsticecouncil for the plot)

[Error falls into a strange world, that doesn't function by the rules of the multiverse. Memory-less, Helpless, he accidentally gives up his name to "Nightmare", a Fey who's more sweet on Error than both of them are willing to admit. When Nightmare blunders and Error owns him right back, Nightmare resorts to asking his estranged husband, Ink, as well as Ink's concubine, Killer, for help.]

what encourages/motivates you to share fics you’ve written online? especially when you were starting out?
