"the diamond of ALKALOID. Out of an idol unit of underachievers, he knows the ins and outs of the industry better than anyone else. Wise, collected, and paternal, people recognize him to be a brilliant idol and overall, a saint. However, no matter how white his garments may appear to be, all he sees in his own reflection is sin. Stained and crippled from the inside out, Tatsumi lives as a man of sorrows, looking to correct a rebellious past and a trail of long-lasting destruction…
( Also, his family misses him sm ;; )"

What would your character consider to be the most important lesson they’ve ever learned?
For Ink the most important lesson he's had to learn is that the people he interacts with aren't just characters. They aren't just set dressing to the stories the Creators want to tell, and even moreso in Denny since he can't even read Denny's script. The way he came to this conclusion was rather upsetting and would likely require some trigger warnings so I'll hold off on that until he eventually talks to Sinestro about it, but. Suffice to say he's had several run ins with the cracks in that philosophy, so it was a matter of time until it broke. Unfortunately for him he sort of had to stay numb to his job somehow so he clung to the pieces of that ideology until this happened.
It's gotta fuckin suck to have it turned right around on him.
What secrets does your character keep from others? Strangers, friends, family?
Generally speaking Ink is a fairly open book. He'll tell people a lot of personal stuff with very little prompting. This is actually done by him on purpose as it gives the impression of having nothing to hide. It makes him approachable, trustworthy, and most of all it generally keeps people from prying into his past. Granted those who know he's a doppelganger created by the Hanged Man put zero stock into his past, but to him it is still very real. Among the things he's hesitant to tell anyone are: his first memories and the lack of memory prior to them, The XEvent just in general since he was very much the villain in that situation regardless of his reasons, the fact that he is physically linked to the wellbeing of his multiverse, Anything and everything to do with Bliz, and to a lesser extent, the existence of the mirror room.
If your character could ask a genie one question and be guaranteed a truthful answer, what would they ask?
There would be two he wants to ask. Naturally the first option would be to ask "Will the time loop ever be broken?" Because at this point he doesn't care if it's broken with everyone dead or everyone alive so long as it stops repeating. Knowing which would be nice so he could prepare for it, but it's not necessary information.
The other is the more inherently tragic of the two and it's more Denny specific as well. It's "Will Spyro and I end up in the same world?" Because he's come to love his boyfriend more than most people from his home world with the exception of his brother. And given how long he's been away at this point it would sting to be permanently taken away from Papyrus, but he would be able to adjust. He'd also just feel infinitely guilty if Spyro were torn away from repairing his relationship with his friends just to be trapped into a possibly infinite time loop, so he'd prefer to end up in the Skylands.
It's part of why this whole plot with the hanged man's illusions hit him so hard. It was the ideal scenario for returning home.
What is one important thing your character has yet to discover about themselves?
Okaaay so this is probably going to sound cliché as shit, but he's yet to discover his own potential. Dazai and Atsushi in his own world both saw it and tried to guide him toward it in their own ways, and now on Denny Chuuya and Khun have been doing the same. He's been moving towards it, but he still hasn't quite grasped it because his mentality is so deeply rooted in his being a weapon- in existing to further the goals of others and not his own. His worldview was solely that the strong survive and the weak perish, but his agreements since joining Denny have prevented him from doing much with that, and so his views have subtly changed over time to be a bit more flexible.
He likely won't realize just how much good he can do for a long while, but he's doing better.
a rough digital ref sheet for Vesper, who is essentially the sona I use as a stand in for drawing myself. The purple heart on his shirt is a tongue in cheek reference to the fact my friends have told me I'd most likely have the perseverance soul trait.
I also didn't bother drawing his feet since he doesn't wear shoes, but the colors of his toes match his fingers. Also the shirt is meant to be oversized like that, since I like comfy clothes.
"Don't worry Glitchy, we've got all the time in the world."
Day 5, "Baby steps"
Man this looked so much better in my head. Well, anyway. As per the prompt the idea here is that Ink and Error take baby steps, both with Error's phobia and in their relationship. Frankly I'm of the opinion the whole thing is a work in progress. The feelings are there, but neither one knows how relationships really work. Particularly Ink who is often surrounded by the idyllic version of love often showcased in media and/or the other extremes like it. They need time to find their rhythm and thankfully neither has to rush it.
If anyone is curious about the strings, the idea there is that Error can sense touch through his strings, but in a muted way that doesn't affect his haphephobia so badly, so it's his way of having physical affection when he wants it, but can't manage it.
Ink belongs to Comyet and Error belongs to loverofpiggies (CQ)
Alright, Day 3 of @squidiotslittlevoid 's errorink week was "First contact" and while realistically they would've first touched/met while fighting, I was feeling soft and wanted to draw Error overcoming his phobia juuust enough to hold Ink's hand for a little bit.
I absolutely feel like they work on Error's haphephobia at his pace, and Ink is supportive and keeps his hands to himself for the most part (barring the odd time he forgets.) Regardless by the time Error can actually manage something like this in a non-combat scenario it's likely after a lot of work on both sides and I love that for them. Ink absolutely would be proud of him too.

Someone Sans has forgiven... He hasn't had a whole lot of people double cross or betray him on Denny, even given the Killing Game. If we want to be a little figurative with it, he's probably forgiven himself more than he's forgiven anyone else. Between his boyfriend, his two best friends and his growing found family, he's had a lot of people around to help him handle the trauma he has, and the guilt he holds because of that. If we're also including canonmates, I'd say Toriel is someone he's forgiven. He held a bit of resentment towards her for the whole promise thing; for not being more careful concerning the human. In the end he forgave her though, since she couldn't have really known one way or the other, right?
13. someone they have conflicted feelings about
Quite a few people, really! As far as canonmates go, there's Gaster and Frisk that he's conflicted about, for fairly obvious reasons, but on Denny? Ever since the kidnappings and betrayal thing, he's been conflicted about Agatha. She was sort of on the fringes of his circle thanks to being close to Vil, and he'd wanted to get closer to her for that reason as well. That's kinda been blown out of the water now. He's also got conflicted feelings about Sinestro, since he seems to have good intentions despite his prickliness and less than great way of going about things. Another example would probably be Varian. He really liked the kid at first, but things got difficult there pretty fast, what with the kid's response to him having found family there. There was also the interaction he had with Varian's doppelganger where he had to restrain the kid.
15. someone they used to view positively, but now view negatively
Definitely Agatha. Betrayal is sort of an old hat for him, being a mafia member and all. As much as he isn't surprised by it, he is very disappointed, and perhaps a little sad on Chuuya's behalf since he had been friends with Agatha and got wrapped up in the unfortunate aftermath. Whatever happens from here on out, Aku's gonna be very wary of her intentions.
