Extremely random fun facts about my FGOC:

The thing Ink absolutely gets the most mesmerized/awed by are rainbows :3 they are his favorite things, he finds them so precious. Want to immediately cheer him up? RAINBOW!!!

Hearts has the best singing voice out of Nightmare’s gang. He is both proud and easily embarrassed by it

Blue is absolutely terrified of… ladybugs. Yup. Ladybugs. His worst fear. Ever. He sympathizes with Cross.

Out of the main group who go out into AUs to distract Error from Ink’s creating, Red is the least violent (Out of Nightmare, Hearts, Blue, and Red himself). Red acts as their air-support most of the time because of this.

Cross used to smoke. He doesn’t anymore but if he gets the urge he’ll chew some gum.

Chara is an absolute sucker for really tiny things that have normal sized equivalents. He loves it. (Cross teases him about it sometimes). Their shared inventory has a pouch that is full of tiny things.

Geno has his own personal lab in the Omega Timeline. Explosions happen weekly.

Dust’s favorite color is pink. He will kill you if you say anything about it.

Killer’s house in the Omega Timeline is just absolutely full of random cats he’s snatched from AUs. He has five that Error let’s him keep, but Killer’s forced to release any others. Their names are Tortilla (Orange), Pepper-Jack (Calico), Robert (Sphynx), Peaches (another Sphynx), and Dashing (tuxedo cat). They are his babies.

Dream is a little insomniac and struggles to sleep. The only way he sleeps is if he’s cuddling up to someone or Error forces him to by wrapping him up in his strings. At “night” he goes around the Omega Timeline to ensure everyone’s having good dreams. Nightmares are a rarity

Nightmare is a SUCKER for bugs and insects. They are his favorite creatures he will ramble all about them if they come up. (He won’t talk about them much with Blue present though, out of respect of his fear.)

Error’s guilty pleasure is sneaking into Killer’s house and snatching up one of his cats. He pretends to begrudgingly allow them in the Omega Timeline but he is such a sucker for cat cuddles and he loves hearing them purr. He makes them little outfits with his strings.

Outer has enough magic in him to float! He uses it to make sure he doesn’t get hurt, and it helps him “run” pretty fast. He tries to use it sparingly.

Sugar’s favorite food is anything with bow tie noodles. Nightmare brings home bow tie noodles and Sugar just gets SOOOOO excited!!!!!!!!

Horror tells THE BEST stories and has the biggest vocal range, having had to mimic various things for hunting purposes. If he’s reading a story, you want to be there.

@my-names-kris

So, I blacked out and.

[please-and-no-thank-you]

I don’t know if I did this right, but I tried lol, for @ask-fgod dtiys contest (if I posted on time)

[stargazeraldroth]

oh, gimme aaallllll the stargazeraldroth deets on how you think time traveling!dream and blue from a false fgod future would go >:3c however you think things should go or want them to go, go for it! though i will award bonus point for genuinely-an-asshole!error and dream and blue being very clingy and guilty once they realize error was a big ol’ liar. what can i say, i love me some clingy stars, especially when it means ink gets well deserved hugs.

Hm, I do like bonus points... I can do Error's character as a genuine asshole. I admit I have a preference to lean toward reconciliation just because I'm such a big Errorink shipper, but I can cope with it.

If we're going with a more villainous Error who is genuinely an asshole, then let's make him more manipulative and deceptive as well. He still has his ego, which is part of why he's so sure of his scheme (and, given the original fate everyone has, he's right about that), but it is possible that he can get so sure of himself that he underestimates people, which can be used to Dream and Blue's advantage.

Anyway, moving on to the potential storyline, Dream and Blue- our time-rewind duo- need to figure out what the hell happened and how they can prevent it from repeating. And, eventually, they'll have to navigate Error's lies and try to persuade the others that he's lying. Error's pulling out the crocodile tears and deceiving everyone with his sob story of being forced to destroy, but it's all bs he's using to manipulate them into being his pawns. Depending on how you want Nightmare to be characterized, he could also be deceived by Error, or he can see right through his bs and thinks everyone else is gullible as shit. And... I mean, he's not wrong.

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, how would Error even convince them that he's being forced to destroy? How does a true FGOD Error convince people of that? What would qualify as proof? This is a genuine question. What's the proof? Word of mouth isn't really proof.

I like to think that Ink can see through Error's deception, as he's been around Error for much longer, and knows that he's spewing pure bullshit about being forced to destroy. Yeah, no. He's tried to get Error to stop and he told him how fun it was and that they don't deserve to exist... right, he's soooo forced into that position. But maybe some of Ink's own attitude contributed to everyone turning against him, like if he doesn't take it seriously or acts dismissive of Error's pleading. And while this could initially make Dream and Blue not trust him entirely, they come to the realization that Ink just knew how fake Error was being the entire time. He probably just didn't expect to be more aware than everyone else.

I can imagine this giant confrontation where Dream and Blue call Error out on all of his bullshit, much to Error's frustration. His entire plan is falling apart! His plan was perfect! How the hell did they figure it out!? This can be where the two falter, unsure of whether or not to tell the truth or come up with a lie on the spot. As for convincing the others about the truth, maybe it starts slowly, with convincing CORE first of all.

There's just so much that can be done with this idea lol.

Deity Fgod bois! Ink and Dream have joined the clan!

[ask-fgod]

Hello from @mcnotok! My name is Snap, and my answers will be tagged as "mod snap". I am an avid fgod Enjoyer™ :]]. I mostly enjoy Nightmare and Error, but every character in this universe is so fascinating to me.

and im @my-names-kris! which my name is uh. kris, obviously. answers from me will be tagged as "mod kris". i usually like blueberror in most utmv aus, but theres something about ink in this one that grabbed me by a stranglehold. also an avid fgod enjoyer, to the point where it actually got me to start writing for the first time ever!

RULES:

DONT SPAM

NO RP

NO ASKING CHARACTERS NOT LISTED HERE

DONT BE A JERK TO THE MODS

PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH THE CHARACTERS IS VERY MUCH IMPOSSIBLE, QUIT ASKING (BUT YOU CAN SEND OBJECTS)

Story:

The backstory of this blog takes place after Error jumps into the void after he was attacked. Fate, annoyed but viewing him as replaceable, grabs a Swap!Sans, Blue, from his multiverse into the Anti-Void, and in a rushed manner, makes him into an error and the new God of Destruction. Destiny, angered by this and knowing Error would be too, tells him about what had happened to Blue, now known as Blueberror. Wanting him not to be alone, he returns, along with his newly adopted children, Void and Null that insisted to go with him.

Characters:

Error:

The first God of Destruction, jumped into the void wishing for death, and was sent to another multiverse instead with Destiny's help. Returned upon learning that Blueberror was made the next God of Destruction in his place, bringing two children named Void and Null with. Arguably the most powerful of the three gods, holding the ability to make a universe crumble with his very step. Despite this, he is normally a chill (and rather quiet) guy when you haven't done anything to anger him. It takes a lot to anger him, anyways.

📍 • 𐀔 • 📍

Nightmare:

Nightmare is so detached from his past life that he considers himself a completely different person, but he is not. He hates all reminders of his detached past before the corruption, as they make him feel complicated feelings and thoughts he'd rather do without. Doesn't view Dream as a brother, but a part of him that he hates feels as if that feeling should be there. Due to the multiverse oversaturated in negativity, he has extreme mood swings. Took in the murder-time trio in an attempt to spread SOME positivity. It didn't do much, but he ended up keeping them anyways. (my mans is soft)

📍 • 𐀔 • 📍

Dream:

Dream is extremely loyal to Ink to a fault, never believing the truth of the multiverse's oversaturation, even when Blueberror starts destroying. Due to this, he neglects his duties of spreading positivity, as that would disrupt Ink's creations... even if he suffers for it. Ink's right-hand man ruling over the Star Council. Is used as a mascot for the "happiness" that Ink can spread. Has only ever been used as a beacon for positivity, so when someone genuinely treats him as a friend, he gets very attached.

📍 • 𐀔 • 📍

Ink:

The God of Creation, Ink, is the only god out of the three that was unable to hear Fate. Despite this, after hundreds of years go by, he figures out the instability of the multiverse he has caused. Knowing this, but having formed a council and an image of himself along with it, he still insists that he has been doing nothing wrong. Ink is extremely strict about his creations not being disrupted by any outside source, even when the scales of emotion are tipped in negativity's favor. Holds a hatred for Nightmare for taking the murder-time trio in. Hates Error and now, Blueberror, as well for their insistence that he is the one in the wrong. Very close with Dream, not really ever realizing how he's hurting his friend.

📍 • 𐀔 • 📍

Blueberror:

Blueberror was a well-liked Swap!Sans (teetering on the edge of being a swapfell!sans) before he was snatched by Fate. It was to the point where he was even asked by Dream and Ink to join them. But being a neutral party, he refused. Before he was snatched, he sometimes travelled the multiverse, helping out anybody, no matter which side they were on. After Fate snatched him, he became the second God of Destruction. He is significantly less merciful than his predecessor, Error. Still helps out people in other universes, but less often due to his new duties.

tfw u craft a mix of fgod, swad, and add a bit of ur own interpretation to the swad part because it just somehow happened.

au rundown:

error is at his lowest low. like his loooowwwest low like holy shit.

dream finds him feeling like shit. dream offers him his positivity.

error, having never felt a single positive emotion in his life, is in awe of how it feels to actually not feel like shit. everything still hurts, but its still something.

dream takes him in, error letting him because emotion feel good.

i need to note now that while dream is kinda using error, its more of a "he feels bad so i need to help him. it will benefit me but i also think he needs the help also." than "HAHA GET MANIPULATED BITCH"

needless to say this dream is different from other multiverses dreams of the swapped type.

he is actually niceys. he thinks hes doing the best thing he can, even if his thinking is flawed.

the most important thing is that he actually treats those hes taken in as people.

hes like. holier than thou on accident. treats others like that cuz he feels like they need help.

error is given a room, bed, food, and new clothes.

and a bath lol. STINKY.

slowly, since he has a bad response to healing magic, hes given resources to help him heal.

they learn quickly that healing gel and magic food is better than actual healing magic, even if both are less effective than the latter on normal monsters.

the gold on his head, fingers, and toes are prosthetics basically? replacements for what they couldnt heal. theres bits on his ribs as well.

ok. time has passed. now dream offers him his deal.

destroy all the negative universes.

error isnt keen on this first. dudes a pacifist.

but dream convinces him, gets him into his way of thinking.

"theyll suffer less if theyre dead" "you dont want them to suffer like you did" "they treated you poorly"

ya after so so much convincing he goes thru w it.

oops now we have a destroyer running around destroying all the negative universes.

and thats what i mostly have down.

[anotherrosesthatfell]

You probably won't write about Lily origin but I still want to know how Lily escaped from dreamtale

Yeah you right. I prepared the notes and everything yet I still don't want to write it 💀. Anyway-

Like we all know the villagers got revived and being an absolute ass to Lily. So while Dream is not around, the villagers decided to kill Lily-

Of course Lily can't kill the villagers because of her damn necklace so she ran away until a portal opened up and reveal Error. Error was like "You saved me, I'll save you too" then process to take her away from Dreamtale.

Of course mf like Ink and mentally unstable Dream had to interfere so those two fought Error while Error told Lily to run towards the portal which led her to outertale.

When she was in outertale, surprise surprise Swap was there. For what reason? To take Lily back to dreamtale. That mf- it's fine.. He just oblivious and don't know the truth.

Anyway, Lily don't want to go back so she fell from the edge like every fgod Error did- then boom, she arrived at a world. It's empty at first until Lily decorated it.

Done!

[ask-thetaintedones]

Information-

The Tainted Ones is an Au of sorts of Undertale, its a similar type of Au to things like Empireverse or Fgod.

Here, everyone is indeed a human, and it is set in a city. I guess you could say its more of a mystery-horror type of genre.

The star sanses are investigators/Law enforcement looking into the disappearance of Dream’s brother, of which had happened a year ago.

The Bad Sanses are beings called “Tainted”, of which are humans who were turned into monsters by Corrupted!Nightmare. The Tainted can only be created if the victim agrees to be transformed.

The Forced God of Destruction AU by @/harrish6 ! I haven’t seen it anywhere in your master list, but I know that it and AUs based off of it have a pretty decently sized following. Part of me thinks they only come out about it after someone posts about it lolll. I think a few of the AUs of the FGoD AU are here on Tumblr? There’s an ask blog and some swapped version where there’s a forced god of creation instead.

OH you're right! Σ੧(❛□❛✿) Thank you so much for reminding, FGOD has already become a classic of the fandom ☆

[stargazeraldroth]

Poor Ink is gonna get separated from Gin no matter what, huh-

Reaper!!! We do need to bring him into this, the poor man is lonely- I just. Forgot about him in this AU until you mentioned him, whoops- But! Yes, he is Absolutely working overtime because of all the shit that’s gone wrong- He’s prooobably not too happy about that, and he’s definitely investigating with the intention of having Words with whoever the hell is responsible for this mess… The big question is when he gets dragged into everything. Hm.

When you think about it, poor Error is probably being knocked for a bit of a loop in this AU, himself… Having to help Ink? Someone else causing more destruction than him? I almost wonder if his attempts to cheer up Ink might also be attempts to cheer himself up, haha.

Yeah, I’m not one to nitpick myself- If I don’t like something, I just leave the page, heh. But it does get very frustrating when it’s always your favorites that are demonized for… No real reason, aside from making the real bad guys look better? Personality swap really is what’s going on there half the time… And! Uuugh I knooowww, why is it always Ink, people??? The poor guy just wants to protect the Multiverse and feel things! People’s insistence on making it because he’s soulless feels… Off, to me, like you said- It isn’t something he has control over, and how determined people are to make his soullessness and subsequent consumption of his paints out to be evil and The Worst Thing Ever is… Well, as someone who struggles with emotions and takes medication, it makes me a bit uncomfortable, myself. I do recall the posts you’re talking about, though! Nothing specific off the top of my head, but they did resonate with me.

I mean, realistically? People don’t care about Reaper and Life (and the Stars, let’s be honest) as much because they don’t have blatantly tragic backstories that they have allowed to completely shape their current sense of self. Nightmare causes a surplus of negativity and despair almost to achieve a sense of revenge for not being as appreciated as Dream, and he pretty much refuses to let himself heal from his trauma as a child. Error is, however much people try and act like FGoD is canon to his story (it isn’t), a psychotic manchild with the vibes of a god complex and the power to back it up, who pretty much loathes everything that isn’t exactly as he wants it, and has been horrendously affected by his extensive isolation in the antivoid and his past issues (whether people think he remembers them or not) as Geno. Reaper and Life, meanwhile, while not always happy with their roles, also notably ARE NOT making it anyone else’s problem- There’s none of the “I can fix them” allure, I think, because, well, there’s nothing to fix. By all accounts, they’re incredibly stable for their situation and have long since adapted to any of the disadvantages coming from it. There’s nothing about how what Nightmare’s Gang and Error get up to would affect the Balance of Life and Death because there isn’t a perceived need to justify horrific actions taken by the Life Cycle duo, because they don’t commit horrific acts- Hell, Reaper resigns himself to an eternity of being touch starved to avoid the possibility of that!

Uuuhhh that got long sorry for the rant but basically- People aren’t as invested in Life and Reaper because they’re aren’t Edgy Enough for them, and also don’t have a need to have their lifestyles justified because they’re ultimately reasonable, stable people. Or something, haha.

Yes! Yes yes yes!!! People are sooo quick to jump on the Stars for “not acknowledging the necessity of negativity and destruction” enough or whatever, but only until it’s convenient for their favs- Then, it becomes a show of how Evil and Awful Ink must be, creating such horrible AUs that have deeply hurt the poor, innocent Bad Guys! Never mind that creating AUs has never once been shown to be something Ink does, and never mind that he only encourages Creators to do exactly that- Create. He doesn’t realistically have any control over what they do with the inspiration he gives them, but nooo, it’s definitely all Ink’s fault. It also definitely can’t be a result of them having free will and making their own choices, and it can’t be their fault that the consequences of their actions have caught up to them. Like, at least make up your mind people! Does Ink force the AUs to stay on a certain path to get “his desired results” or something (no, he doesn’t, that goes against who he is as a concept)? Because last I checked, he isn’t holding a fucking gun to Dust’s head and forcing him to kill his brother. That’s all on Dust himself. Does he somehow write “his desired results” into the codes and scripts of the AUs (no, because he doesn’t make the AUs)? Because if that’s the case and he did create the AUs and their scripts, why make it a possibility for them to hate him for that at all- Why give them the free will to do that, if he cares so much for “his scripts,” and why give them the ability to leave and cause problems in other AUs, disrupting those scripts? And that’s not even getting into how, if they make Dream the bad guy with Ink, they’ll be willing to just conveniently shuffle that aside whenever needed to hate on him for being “too positivity oriented” and not admitted how necessary negativity is… You know. The negativity they just condemned Ink for “creating.” I’m not sure if I’m making sense, I feel like I’m getting too frustrated to be truly coherent, but I definitely agree with you either way-

Don’t worry, I forget about them too (they feel like a very restrictive concept to me and don’t provide a lot of wiggle room, haha), but when I do remember them it’s always because people are vilifying Ink for being “Fate’s Favorite Child,” never mind that, even if an abuser’s favorite isn’t being physically abused and are, in a twisted way, loved, they can still be mentally and emotionally abused- What if Ink’s being infantilized and Fate never lets him make his own choices, removing his ability to truly be his own person and meet his own needs (that she might refuse to acknowledge)? What if she’s highly unstable and prone to emotionally tearing him apart if he does something she doesn’t like, leaving his self esteem in shreds? What if he’s always feeling like he’s walking on egg shells whenever she’s near because he never knows what could set her off, and what she could do when it inevitably happens? What if he never feels safe to express himself? What if she’s engaging in love bombing and guilt tripping and gaslighting, leaving him feeling uneven and unsure of reality? Even if he’s the favorite without being physically hurt, that doesn’t translate to good things, people! His state of being soulless doesn’t (or shouldn’t) diminish the horror that can stem from that position. Hell, if anything, it gives her something to hold over his head- Who’s to say she wouldn’t point out how freakish his soullessness and paints make him, only to, in the same breath, assure him that she won’t judge him like everyone else does? Just… Aaauuuggghhh, it annoys me! It annoys me so much!!!

Also what the FUCK since when has ERROR been a green flag? The hell???

Buddy if you’re bitchy then I’m Mega Bitchy, this stuff just. Gets to me. I’m with you, though, it’s the reason I largely prefer FGoC content- Usually, everyone is (relatively) in character, and Ink gets to keep his genuinely kindhearted bestie who cares about him and his well-being (AKA Dream). Like! Let my boys be friends who care for each other!!!

Long live the paintbrush! And yeah, that would definitely make this even more hellish for poor Ink… A constant reminder of what he sees as him at his worst, with no way to escape and no method of even going to that state himself to avoid processing all of this. He’s definitely overthinking it all and wondering if he was meant to get his paints in the first place- Was he meant to be as statue still as them, once? Was he meant to remain with them, standing silently? Just. He’s suffering so much, and every little feeling is magnified because he’s in the worst possible place he can be in.

Nightmare is sipping a martini and watching the Multiverse go to hell like he’s on vacation- Which, really, he kind of is! And he has Dream to thank for it! Sure, he might’ve wanted to rule the Multiverse, but seeing his do-no-harm, goody-two-shoes, holier-than-thou brother completely betray everything he stands for makes up for not being able to do that anymore very nicely.

🌧️ Rainy Anon 🌧️

RAINY WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS, OH MY GOD- this is such a delayed response, I'm so sorry. Given how long it's been my responses might be like, complete garbage. But it's gonna be okay, it's fine.

Lol, don't worry Rainy, I forget about Reaper in most of my larger scale AUs too. I don't really focus much on him in general, like in Balanceswap, but I usually explain his absence with "He's busy doing Reaper things". I think it counts as a legitimate explanation. After all, death never stops, right? Maybe Reaper can get involved when the AUs get mass destroyed? Does that still happen in this AU? Like I said, it's been a while- I don't really remember what things were established and what things weren't. But if it does, I think something of that scale would be way too big for him to push off for later.

I can definitely see Error's attempts to cheer Ink up as a double intention, he's trying to cheer himself up and distract himself from the fact that someone's doing his job better than he is. To be fair, I imagine Ink would do something similar if someone were to, say, doa better job at protecting the AUs than him. Ink's just like "Don't think about being replaced, don't think about being replaced"

I feel like a way to make an FGOD story more interesting, while keeping some of the common elements people use, is having Ink be aware of the Balance... but so desensitized to it (and the ways of the Multiverse) that he just can't... sympathize with Error's inner conflict. He knows the Balance exists and how it works, he knows that destruction is a necessary counterpart to creation. The problem comes in the fact that, rather than him being soulless (I really do think people need to be a bit more creative with their reasons as to why Ink's a villain in these stories, aside from being soulless. I think I said this before, but using a condition he has no control over to villainize him seems... icky), he's been around long enough and has witnessed so many things concerning the Balance that he doesn't react to it anymore. Maybe there was a God of Destruction before Error, or a different God filling a different role (for example: Nim was the Guardian of both Positivity AND Negativity prior to creating the Twins), and they did something that essentially made the Balance turn against them and label them as a threat. Something I tend to use a lot for Ink is that, aside from being the Protector, he's kinda like the Balance's vessel. He enacts its will, so to speak. And being the Protector, he has to eliminate threats to the AUs (or the Multiverse), right? And if a fellow God becomes a threat, well... you see where that's going. Instead of making Ink's villainy come solely from a condition that affects how he thinks and behaves, I would have his negative character be a twisted way of trying to PROTECT Error from the inevitable consequences of trying to abandon his role.

Break-up for the wall of text.

Ink's soulless state can still be relevant! I'm not saying we should ignore that entirely. But like I said, being soulless affects how a person thinks and behaves, as seen with Flowey. That being said, being soulless is kinda like an equivalent to mental and/or personality disorders, and we know those don't just automatically make someone a bad person. Experiences have a big impact, too. So we can have his soulless state be influential in how he thinks and acts, but there needs to be MORE to his motives than something so... well, not to get controversial or sound self-righteous, but... stereotypical. If Ink's soulless state was replaced with something else, like an established disorder or condition, I think people would have a bigger issue with so many using that to villainize him.

So! Ink's soulless state makes it difficult for him to sympathize with Error's turmoil because, even with the paints, he still feels emotions differently. In terms of how he thinks, experiences, people. Experiences. Ink's mindset and way of thinking aren't set in stone, just the same as any other character. Using the idea that Ink's been around longer than everyone else has, he's experienced more than they have. Rather than him somehow not knowing the Balance exists, have him know something about the Balance that Error and the others DON'T. And if you wanna use the whole "Staying on script" thing, then give him a reason for it! Sure, maybe it's for his own amusement, but what if... and hear me out, I might sound a little crazy... there are consequences if an AU strays too far from the script?

Oh wait. That would give Ink some rationality and a considerable argument. And we can't have that! He's supposed to be evil incarnate to counter our precious little saint.

I don't want to dominate this ask with FGOD rambles, so I'll just leave it there. Also because I'm getting bored talking about my concept for an FGOD story, and for the record, I have no intention on writing it. It's just a concept for if I did write one while keeping some of the more iconic traditions (is that what they'd be called?) in the fanfics I have read.

I kinda have to disagree with you on this part, Rainy. I get where you're coming from, but out of the Star Sanses, Blue's the only one who doesn't have a tragic backstory. I mean, Ink's backstory is really nothing BUT tragedy. And that tragedy leads to his soulless state (which people villainize to hell and back), which shapes his personality. As for Dream, they're literally pulling the "His trauma was worse than yours" card. Dream's life wasn't perfect either, people. He was overworked by the villagers and emotionally manipulated by them to keep serving them. The twins experienced different forms of abuse and suffering, but they both suffered significantly. And remind you, they were 6. 6 YEARS OLD. And these people expect Dream to respond to the situation with perfect, flawless, god-level rationality and be able to resolve every single problem to have appeared in the world. Like... do you people even hear yourselves? Why are you putting all of the blame for Nightmare's suffering on a 6 YEAR OLD CHILD who was ALSO A VICTIM instead of the ACTUAL VILLAINS, aka the VILLAGERS? The ones who are actually adults and should be thinking rationally and know better? It's like... they're treating Nightmare and Error as these helpless, innocent victims who need to be coddled and can't get so much as a slap on the wrist for their trauma, and then use that same trauma to villainize the other two and give them the death sentence on account of simply existing.

I will agree with you about Reaper and Life, though. I don't know what happens with them tbh.

BUT YES PREACH IT RAINY! PREACH IT! In these AUs, they only care about Destruction and Negativity being able to freely exist until it can't be used to cater to their precious, untouchable favs. And maybe I'm starting to come across as condescending, but if you're going to put these double standards, then CALL THEM OUT ON THEM! From what I've seen, Ink and Dream and co. are always getting called out and criticized for double standards, but they're suddenly okay when Error or Nightmare has them? Also, I brought this up during the other asks about the False FGOD AU, but where's the proof? What's the argument they're using to convince everyone? Because without actual proof, it's all a game of He Said vs She Said. You can't just say "I'm actually the good guy and they're evil!" and expect everyone to just believe you instantly. That's... that's not how it works. They shame Blue and co. for blindly believing Ink, but if they don't blindly believe in Error and co., they're the bad guys for expressing doubt and being wary. Again, double standards. Also, loving how the Murder Trio can literally choose to murder people of their own free will (there are other ways to cause negative feelings), but god forbid Dream raises his voice at Nightmare even slightly, when Dream has completely justified reasons to be pissed with him too.

AGAIN, I DON'T HATE FGOD. I hate how it's frequently executed in this black-and-white vision, waters all the characters down to "Saint" or "Most Evil Person To Ever Be Conceptualized", and hardly has any logic to anyone's actions other than "This person is good and this one's evil". FGOD has so, so, SO much potential that keeps getting wasted because people just won't... branch off from the bare bones! It's an AU, it's a fanfic! Get creative! Get your hands messy! Try out different things!

Also, never ask me about Fate or Destiny. This goes for everyone. I don't know those two, I only know the Creators/Voices. And that's it. They basically fill the same roles regardless. But those are also good points about how Fate is also the real villain in this case, and how she influences and molds Ink into becoming a villain as well. Having Ink as a victim of abuse could be relatable for many people and provide more understanding as to why he acts the way he does. But noo, Ink's Evil Incarnate, he's allowed to have any sympathetic or relatable qualities, and if you do sympathize with him or see his points, you're a villain too!

LMFAO Error's such a red flag it even shows in his eyes. I'm- I'm actually writing a oneshot based on the "Red Flags" song for Errorink.

I gotta agree with you. Maybe I sound biased because Ink is my kin and comfort character, but I feel like FGOC content fleshes out the characters more and gives them dynamics. I actually need to start reading FGOC stuff again, does anyone have any recommendations? Also, Dream is one of the sweetest, genuinely nicest characters in the AU canon. Is it such a crime to let this angel be an angel. Why can't both twins be good, acknowledge that neither of them are perfect, and reconcile. Why do people insist on turning victims of the same abusers against each other.

I like how the conversation about the actual AU gets cleaved in half by our rants about how people portray characters, that's great. So much so that when I get to the part about the actual AU, I'm like "Oh yeah, that's what we're talking about". At least, if Ink was just teleported back to his unfinished AU but didn't get his soul back, he'd eventually be able to just... shut down.

Fucking Nightmare. I love this pompous asshole so damn much.

The Stone Statue

It was a bright sunny day, or as sunny as it could be for our guardian as he opened a portal to an AU devoid of life.

I entered and saw that there were three others already waiting for me. I couldn't help but give off a sheepish smile and quickly rushed towards them. "You're late. Again." "Sorry, Just... Still trying to get used to using different methods of AU hopping." "Can't blame you." I turned to the last speaker, his tentacles waving slowly in annoyance behind him. "'Course you can't." I snuck my tongue out at him and he simply rolled his visible eyelight at my childishness.

"C'mon, let's not keep him waiting for long." My blue friend spoke and I nodded. "What did you get for him?" I asked and he grinned. "Why his favorites of course!" He laughed as he then showed me a basket full of sweets. So he likes those huh... "What about you, Dream?" The Blue skeleton turned to me other friend who then sheepishly smiled. "Me and my brother actually worked together and made a crown of positive and negative flowers, woven from the emotions around us." Dream then showed said flower crown and my eyelights turned to stars. "That's so pretty!" "Of course it is, I helped after all." Nightmare grumbled and I couldn't help but laugh. "What about you? What did you bring?" Dream turned to me, and I gave a huge grin.

"This!" I held up a scroll with a familiar blue string tied around it to keep it sealed and a little necklace that has a save star attached to it. "Since he's pretty much the saviour now, figured a save star is a nice touch." I couldn't help but grin at Blue's playful annoyed groan while Dream just laughed. "Why the scroll though?" "Well, whoever wants to break the scroll would never suspect it being with him after all." "That is true." Blue smiled.

We finally reached our destination aand sure enough, he was still there, sitting elegantly, eyesockets closed with vines crawling around. He was holding a familiar large paintbrush, known as Broomie throughout the Multiverse. "Even in stone, he still looks so pretty." Blue smiled sadly and me, Nightmare and Dream nodded. We then proceeded to put our gifts down and bowed to the statue.

"Hope you'll wake up soon again." I spoke softly, looking up at the stone statue's face, the statue's tearmarks still shimmering beautifully despite being in stone.

"Yeah Error! You'll see how much better the universe is now!" "Blue is correct." Nightmare chuckled lightly. "We miss you..." "We all do." I finished when Dream trailed off. Dream then turned to me. "C'mon Ink, Nightmare and Blue'll take care of the garden. It's our turn to clean around the statue."

"Okay!"
