She's here!!! Say hello to Patchwork, she's my Errorink "kid".
She's a creepy lil puppet that does her own thing in the multiverse. She can't speak, but it's not like she has a need to communicate anyway since you rarely ever get to see her as she doesn't socialize... ever. You might see traces of her because she will always meticulously arrange any area she comes across to perfection.
As her name says, she patches up AUs and cleans up after her parent's messes. She doesn't appear to lean on either side and remains neutral.
Heres a short comic on how I think she came to be
Maybe ill make a part 2 who knows this was fun to make
If you wanna know more about her, feel free to read below:
How does she clean up exactly?
Welp, heres a lengthy explanation: I've always assumed that the multiverse is more or less data in a diskspace, and said disk contains all the data of the AUs.
For every new AU, it takes up space. For every destroyed AU, it frees up space.
Sometimes when a new AU uses the freed up space, there still isn't enough room, so the AU fragments itself to be placed somewhere else in the disk. This makes things harder for Ink (difficult to locate and assist, as well as causing "loading" issues and glitches) and for Error (harder to destroy completely because theyre all over the place).
Patchwork, lives up to her namesake by slowly and tediously stitching and arranging these fragmented AUs together, regardless if theyre going to be destroyed or not.
As for her interacting with other characters:
If she sees an incode outside of their respective AU, she will attempt to guide them back to their respective universe if it still exists. Pretty good right?
But if their AU doesn't exist anymore.... well. She doesn't like loose ends. [So yes, she is not allowed in the Omega Timeline.]
Other miscellanous info:
She can and will organize anything she can get into. Ink will find his once messy art studio cleaned to perfection and all of his sketchbooks arranged alphabetically and by date somehow. Error comes back to the antivoid to find his puppets lined up neatly and staring down at him which freaks him out. PJ's corner will have all the paintings straightened out. Even Gradient's laptop icons are all organized and cleaned up as well lmao
She moves like a slasher stalker. If you spot her, she will stare at you unmovingly. If you move your eyes away from her for even a moment, she will be gone.
Last summer, I got a bunch of surplus fabric samples from my boss, saving them from the trash.
I knew I wanted to make a blanket from them right away and spent a good bit of time counting, sorting and planning the arrangement. I tried to spread the colours and different patterns as evenly as possible and went for an otherwise simple approach, as this was my first time quilting anything bigger than a pillowcase. It was at times super difficult to wrangle this under my sewing machine and handstitching the binding all around took forever. I might add some more intricate stitches on the individual rectangles at some point, but for now I really like how it turned out and it makes for a fun cover for my couch.
I just needed to let you know that your patchwork coat has been living rent free in my head since I saw it and I'm seriously considering starting my own.
Yesss! Good! Will it be the same cut as the 1830's one, or more like those 1860's honeycomb ones, if you've decided yet?
I love how you've lined up the stripes on those top two pieces!
Someone on instagram recently tagged me in a post about how they're starting a triangle one too, which is quite exciting! Patchwork can look so so different in different fabrics even if it's the same pattern (as evidenced by the extremely different looking extant honeycomb ones), and I look forward to seeing finished patchwork garments! In like. Approximately 1-5 years time maybe.

Here's some progress on my patch pants. These are a pair of old work pants that used to be my brother's, they've got some pretty good pockets! ✧d(•̀ v•̀ )
There's still more patches to add, and still some holes and stains I'd like to cover up, but I think they're coming along quite nicely! (๑^ω^๑) <3
