#clawedtale

Created on: 10/5/22

requested by: no one, this is me using an OC (OMIGOD! OCXCANON? CRIINNNGGEE) to try and motivate myself after a year of being dead. im supposed to be making a Christmas oneshot & killermare oneshot but im stressed and using analysis to relax before my AP class kills me with a large workload again

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

canonically? this ain't gonna fly

Nightmare is more likely to use Leviathan as a servant and nothing more

Leviathan themselves feels they are done with romance after the disaster that was them and a monster named Aluminum breaking their heart

but lets dive into the dynamics of a possible ship anyways because let's be honest, none of the major ships are likely to happen in canon anyways

the basis for the dynamic that im using btw is the one from my old fic, "Curse You" (NightmarexCross). if you haven't read it yet, i won't spoil anything except for the short conversation between Leviathan & Nightmare

Leviathan is like Fresh or Error, a neutral entity that simply goes in and out of the castle and is permitted to do so because 1. trying to permanently take them out isn't worth the hassle because 2. they hardly do much damage to his team anyways aside from being an annoying little shit and 3. their existence is useful despite their neutral stance

Error fights with Ink, which can preoccupy the Star Sanses for any potential plans Nightmare has

Fresh is a parasite, probably can't be killed but he's a minor inconvenience at worst since Nightmare is strong enough to ensure and threaten Fresh to not attempt turning any of his henchmen into hosts

Leviathan doesn't directly help either side, but their presence alone can weaken Dream and strengthen Nightmare because they're a demon of the 7 mortal sins, specially ENVY. like the two guardians, they have an aura that Nightmare can take advantage of

Nightmare comments to himself in the oneshot however, that Leviathan is a coward and a fool for being too scared of embracing their power. Leviathan on the other hand thinks Nightmare is the fool for being so power-hungry without a particular goal in mind after spreading negativity

if the two were to become more intimate somehow, it'd be genuinely difficult for them to be okay. Nightmare isn't TOO affected by their aura of ENVY since he feeds off of it as a feeling of negativity, but his team sure is and are prone to becoming envious of one another or even their relationship. it'd be hard for them to come to terms with accepting one another's views as well since unlike with Crossmare or Killermare, Leviathan doesn't serve Nightmare nor do they support his goals in any way

Leviathan would look down on his attempt to spread negativity and could potentially ask him philosophical questions that he's just not ready for ("what exactly do you want from all this power? what is it you're looking for in all of this negativity? what then, when you're the king of the Multiverse?")

Nightmare would look down on his passiveness and refusal to act out of a fear of repeating mistakes, possibly being reminded of his old self before biting the black apple ("why do you just let these things happen? why don't you do anything about it? why do you act so weak when i know for a fact you're not?")

a lot of issues are bound to come out of this, especially since they're both likely to directly challenge each other's world views, and while Leviathan isn't likely to do much because of, again, their passiveness, Nightmare is likely to get irritated with the back and forth

Black Envy is probably a ship you'd want to save for angst and slow burns when they actually have the time and support to work out the kinks in their relationship to sail, but the multiverse isn't exactly like that now is it?

now for the what if scenarios that they miraculously work out being super stubborn about their perspectives for one another, would they work? well, lets see

Nightmare is mostly logic and business orientated, typically committed to his work unless on the rare occasion relaxing with the team. while Leviathan won't be like Killer in using his contagious positivity to have excitable fluff, they are quite chill and is capable of speaking Nightmare's language of common sense and reasoning to get him to take breaks or sit down and have a bit of fun

and when i say fun, i mean vibing. because going to be honest (in my own opinion), Nightmare doesn't seem like the type to do things like want to go out to amusement parks or arcades. he seems more like a quiet, home-date kinda of guy to me who'd prefer library dates or just quietly sitting together, or even watching a movie.

ANYWAYS-

would the vise versa happen? because relationships need to go both ways

well Leviathan is more of the vibe type of person who kinda of hangs around and goes at their own pace. Leviathan is a being of water, after all. and water does it's own thing, it's fluid. so the way i'll take it for a vise versa situation would be their abuse of substance addiction, or as noted in the previously mentioned "Curse You" oneshot, alcohol

they're a drinker, yeah. not going to go into it here, but they do have a problem

just as Leviathan can use the fact that Nightmare is a logical person to logically talk him out of overworking, Nightmare in all his intelligence is just as capable of using the fact Leviathan is a spontaneous individual to get them out of the drinking mood

so yeah, it works

Overall: i'll admit that i find Black Envy to be a really interesting ship and not because one of them is my OC (no offense to anyone but Cross is my favorite sans), since i like complex relationships with a lot going underneath the surface on both sides. i also like slowburns O-o canonically this could never work like most things, and i genuinely don't know if it could work in a fic either.

like all ships, it depends on the circumstances, situation, and AU. but i must say, i like the idea a lot more than i originally thought since im usually afraid of mixing my OCs with canon

ok, so for those of you who don't know:

there's this whole thing with XGaster by @jakei95 verses a group of other Gasters by @yugogeer012 , @industrialmenace , @sweetiepiearts , and @awsometale-blog.

the comic with all of them is closed, so no new gasters will be added. but in the comments I saw the some others also wanted to participate.

so i wanted to try starting something for those who want to support XGaster and the Gaster Squad

hopefully, this will also stop people from pestering them "can I add my gaster?" "hey, this is my gaster. can I have them join too?".

I was hoping instead of joining the actual comic, we could just draw our Gasters with the masks or etc and support them from outside on the sidelines

so if your interested. plz tag pictures of your characters supporting the Gaster Squad and XGaster with #SUPPORT DA GASTERS

I didnt say just gasters cuz I didn't want XGaster feeling left out btw-

Requested by: No one

A/N for those of you who are wondering, Leviathan and Patience are two of my own OCs. They are both Sanses from my AU called ClawedTale. While i do have a book about Clawedtale, in Clawedtale there are actually multiple situations going on at the same time. The incomplete book that i ended that you can find on my account is the main story with the main Sans, Scar, and the main Frisk, Woe. The one with the Underground.

The story that Leviathan and Patience are involved with at the same time in the same AU is different. They both died and were revived as sort of undead gods. if you want more information, you could request that i make an OC book where i explain all of my OCs including them. Im likely to not do it unless it is requested though.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leviathan is a sarcastic prick who is actually scared of being heartbroken a second time.

Patience is canonically in love with Leviathan's sibling.

This definitely would not work out canonically. Buuuut... That's because Patience already has another love interest. If we were to remove that, Leviathan and Patience could get along.

Leviathan is the Sin of Envy, so they get jealous easily of the people around them. They become envious of other people's lives, before looking back on their own and curses at the world and me, their creator, for giving them such a shitty life.

Patience, is well... Patient. They're more of a listener than a talker. They'll usually sit down somewhere to just vibe with the rest of the world. In the midst of chaos they'll just sit there munching on rocks just like "... This is fine."

Patience could like, act as a therapist or someone to vent to for Leviathan while he just nods at everything Levi's ticked about. Which is probably a lot cause when given the chance, Leviathan can be quite the whiner.

Could they date if Patience wasn't in love with Belphegor? Maybe? I mean- Leviathan would probably still be pretty hesitant about relationships after an incident when someone they used to like. They'd probably also go into denial. But I think they could work out? In battle, they'd be pretty formidable. In daily life, Patience would probably be like, the one thing that keeps Leviathan chill for 90% of the time, and Leviathan would probably try to help Patience with their venting to by uh... violent means.
