Death, about Anteros' costume: I can't take you seriously wearing that

Anteros: Awe, you take me seriously at all?

Death: Fair point

These are what I’m currently working with right now

One is mostly Retribution’s ecto with splotches of Anteros’ magic mixed in, and the other is pretty much all Anteros’ ecto without any of Ret’s magic mixed into it anywhere

I contemplated doing one that was all Retribution with no Anteros, but eh

Thoughts on this or suggestions for what I could do with the overall ecto color would be appreciated!

Finally got the ref sheet for this diva done, so here it is X3

There's some extra miscellaneous stuff and definitions/explanations under the cut, pertaining to some of his abilities

Amoscience:

Knowing everything about and sensing feelings of love/lust/other emotions and seeing potential relationships

Anchored deity soul:

He's not necessarily a god in a monster's body, but rather, his soul and/or spiritual essence is divine in origin, which grants him supernatural abilities on an almost god-like level. Because his deity soul is anchored, he'll be able to keep all his new powers, even if someone attempted to manipulate or alter his soul somehow

Mind/emotion reading:

It's unclear whether he's genuinely able to read minds, or if he's simply sensing emotions and connecting them to the context of a situation in order to piece things together

Relationship manipulation:

He can weave a potential love story (for lack of better words) for people, and he can guide them to each other, but he can't force them to be together

Then as far as punishing/cursing people, this is what I've got. I haven't worked anything specific out, but hey, it's a start ^^"

Some extra notes on parts of his outfit: his crown thing has a triple X (xxx) design that's meant to kinda resemble a heart. The heart shape is there for obvious reasons, and then the triple X design was just a little nod to who he was, before he was fused with the deity. Idk how clear or obvious it is in the ref sheet, but ye, he's also wearing garters. Just like OG Lust Sans, he probably still wears heeled boots, too :P

Anteros: Why do guys call each other "pretty boy" as an insult? That's the most flattering thing anyone could say to me?

Anteros: Call me pretty boy

Anteros: Tell me I'm the prettiest boy you've ever seen

[ask-the-riders]

My Anteros and Retribution fusion that I made, completely on impulse :P

There's an alternate version under the cut, because once again, I was unable to make up my mind

Big thanks to everyone for helping me come up with ideas and things for the overall design!

Another lil wip piece

As a treat, because why not

[ask-the-riders]

Some possible shots of different areas within Nep's lake

Anteros lives with the lake dwellers, but because he can't be underwater as much as them, he probably stays in the underground bunker

Yes! New M A T E R I A L!

Three for errorink and any other skeleton pair of your choice!

PRE-RELATIONSHIP

1) What was their first impression of each other?

GENERAL

9) Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear?

DOMESTIC LIFE

3) How many kids do they have, if any? What are they like?

-----

For ErrorInk, I think their first impression of each other probably wasn't the greatest. Error likely felt that Ink was nothing more than some disgusting anomaly that shouldn't even exist, and Ink probably thought Error was this oversized man child that was in need of some serious anger management to control all of his destructive impulses

Who whispers inappropriate things to the other; Ink, obviously 👀 Even if he's canonically ace, there's nothing stopping him from using this kinda trick to mess with Error every so often. Ink's not phased by a lot of it, so he'd be super casual as he says things, too

Then for the stuff about any children they'd have, that's,, kinda hard to say? I could see them being happy without kids, but then if they did have any, I feel like 2 would be the max for them. One kid would have this perfectly balanced personality that'd have bits of both of them in it, while the other might lean toward being more like one or the other

(I'm probably gonna ramble more than necessary for the pairing of my choice, so I'm gonna put that under a cut)

For my pairing of choice, I'm gonna go with Nep and Anteros again, because why not

Their first impression of each other..... Oh boy. Anteros took one look at this very dangerous, cannibalistic, feral disaster man, and his first thoughts were basically all about how hot he was. Like, "he could kill me, I know this, but I wouldn't even be mad because daMN, he's F I N E." He was immediately thirsting for Nep, essentially. Meanwhile, Nep thought he was gross and annoying, and he just wanted to be left alone. He even tried to drown him at least once or twice, but apparently that wasn't enough to make Anteros lose interest

Who whispers inappropriate things to the other;; bruh, they both do this. They're the only pair I can think of right offhand that's more hormonal than Pest and War. Anteros was a version of Lust before he kinda ascended to being a deity. Really all that happened with that was that he just fused with a deity. But ye. He still experiences perma-heat, and it doesn't take very much for that to affect Nep

As for the stuff about their kids: At the moment, the only kid they have (in canon, which is subject to change) is Betta, and she's this perfect blend of both of them. She's small, pretty, very flirtatious, and very dainty looking, but she's a heathen like Nep, and like him, she's also built to be like the perfect killing machine. Claws, teeth, speed, agility, manipulation abilities, she's got all of it down. In the future, she's supposed to gain about 7 or 8 younger siblings, though. All of them are complete heathens, and they're very much like the werewolf pups from the Hotel Transylvania movies
