This technically isn't a oneshot, it's just a rant about stuff that really bothers me. Now, I'm not one to make A/N chapters, but this just really bothers me. It's about Cross. The Sans. Yeah, that dude. Lately, I've been finding more and more stories depicting Cross as soft adorable uwu bean, which just... no, no, he's not. He may be easily manipulated in Underverse by Nightmare, Cross Chara, or even Ink in a sense. But that doesn't make him a soft adorable innocent bean, like, no, he's not-
He's been the goddamn Royal Guard, he's by no means adorable and shit. The people who manipulated him knew the right buttons to press to make him listen to them. Hate me all you want, but canonly, he's far from the depiction of this innocent bean that calls Nightmare Senpai or shit. Cross is literally traumatized by the loss of his AU, his family. He wouldn't open up to random strangers that easily unless they figure out how to manipulate him.
Also Crossmare sucks. I may be a multishipper, but Crossmare sucks. Generally you'd have to pull off Cross really well to make him work with ships. Cream is pretty much an exception, ig. I don't know, it's hard to write proper ships with Cross, like, he's a mess, Cross Chara keeps manipulating and haunting him and Ink kept him company that wasn't even completely honest either. So who in their right minds would ship Cross with the bad Sanses and alter their personalities to not make the ship toxic as bonkers.
Hell, I told myself I wouldn't rant about stuff of fictional characters again, but boy, Cross is being so awfully depicted, like. That's a big yikes. I mean it's okay if it's reasoned with a different past in AU's that let the person develop differently but aside that, please do not.
Now, the accurate depictions of Ships with Cross, with everyone's personalities as to the canon as possible.
(I mean sure it's called Fanfiction for a reason but seriously stay close to the canon thank u)
Crossmare:
(Cross)
I was in an AU, spreading negativity and suffering, helping the one who took me in as I was betrayed. Though, it didn't feel right to me, I grew used to letting my mind go empty, denying myself any emotion as I stared blankly at the faces of innocent monsters falling into despair. Deep down, it hurt, but I refused to let myself feel anything, only focusing on my job. As I deemed it enough, I meekly ran back to the one who made me do this. The one who promised to bring back my family. Nothing really happened on that matter, I only was sent on more and more missions, forced to spread more and more negativity, forcing myself to not feel. My only outlet was my boss, the king of negativity, who managed to take all the bad feelings away from me. But without hope or anything else, a deep numbness settled in my soul. Nightmare just pretended to love me, only to use and abuse me more, and more. A spiral I can't escape from, an addiction only becoming worse and worse.
I knew where I headed to, arriving at the dark mansion and walking inside, heading for Nightmare's room to report. I soon enough reached my destination, mechanically raising a hand and knocking on the door, which quickly was opened, Nightmare glaring down at me.
„Oh, Cross. Back so soon? How did it go?"
I glanced up at him, taking my time to answer. Soon enough, I gave a quick report, my gaze darting around. Soon enough, a few tendrils curled around me, the negativity leaving me and the numbness settling back in.
„Well... you should rest soon Cross... don't worry, I'll rebuild your AU soon"
Nightmare spoke, and I fell limp, not caring in the slightest about his words anymore. It was just empty promises anyway, I'd never see my family and friends again, never walk through the familiarity of my AU, there was only Nightmare and the gnawing numbness.
Okay may have turned it too much into a fuckfest, but eh, it does fit. I guess.
Also, don't hate me too much for the rant in front of this, I just- hate unreasoned tweaking of characters, haha-
Chao! Out!
