The Entity my Beloved

Short version of my headcannon, while Dream was trapped in stone, the only sense he had access too was his Empathic ability to feel others' emotions. After only having access to that sense, it's extremely powerful and sensitive to the world around Dream! He could wear a blindfold, cover his ears, and have his arms around his back and navigate through a new area with ease through a flick of his fingers. aka Dream has emotional echolocation!! Long version: Going on with the idea that once Dream was trapped in stone he was still conscious for a period of time he'd lack all his senses. There is nothing to hear, the rock was all over every phalange, nose, and eyes. Even if there was a chance to taste something, that too was gone, covered in a layer of gray. For the time he is conscious, Dream loses access to all his senses besides one- his empathy. The magical ability to feel the emotions of others and the world around.

When someone loses their eyesight, its often found that their hearing gets better as a result do to lacking that sense. This is what Dream experiences while stuck as stone. That subtle, innate ability to feel what others are becomes more sensitive, growing and reaching out in strands to absorb all it can under Dream's distress. As a kid, Dream always knew that emotions remained inside of objects, and that emotions could be left over them. Often, it took some focus to tap into these feelings, but didn't take up any magical. After being trapped, feeling the emotions from the grass becomes as natural as breathing, grabbing onto the distant bundle of negativity is like his soul beating, and anything any being comes close to Dream the powerful magic curls around them. Not feeling any of the emotions around is a sentence for fading, so it seeks the emotions the villagers left behind for weeks in the dust, magic desperately holding onto blood and poison, staying inside the melancholic cloth for as long as it's able. Dream's magic grabs at it all- negative and positive- and, sadly, results in Dream staying conscious much longer than another monster would have.

When he is finally free from stone, between suddenly having 5 more senses and his sixth being so sensitive, it's all too much, and sensory overloads are overwhelmingly common for a long while (they don't ever leave though. Dream only learns how to live with them). He doesn't have a clue how long he was conscious inside the stone, but by the end only there through fleeting moments of birds making nests and mice finding a filling meal. It's not uncommon to find Dream curled up, trying only to tune into his Empathy. His sixth sense being more sensitive never ever leaves even after getting his other weakened 5 senses back (foods never tasted as vibrant as it did when he was with his brother, Dream likes to believe that's nostalgia speaking). Later on in the aging universe, it's not uncommon to find him wearing soundproof headphones, and gloves are simply a permanent fixture.

Dream is able to feel the feeling inside something as miniscule as a leaf (someone had touched it one day ago, leaving behind a lackluster combination of screeching and a warm, endearing smile). If his eyes are shut, with a flick of his finger he can see and navigate a busy street without much strain. Although, clicking his tongue to send out the wave of magic always makes him smile, giggling as the feelings map themselves out (he refuses to do this with anyone else around, the action held close to his soul behind a brick wall). Safe to say he has spooked Blue with this bat-like ability multiple times. Blue has walked into the room and Dream's looked completely the other way with headphones and an eye-mask on, only to turn and wave at him. It becomes near impossible to hide from Dream if you're nearby. A simple wave of the hand can reveal all the hugs in one's scarf, the screaming from a blade, or the childish laughter from worn shoes.

(Dream keeps this last fact a secret: Stuck surrounded by his own brothers' emotions for so long, his powers clung to Nightmare's feelings. Easily, without question, Dream would always be able to pick out Nightmare in a large crowd. Inside an au, his Empathy targets the strained ball of negativity and tells Dream where his general location is without even thinking twice about it. Sometimes it happens so unconsciously Dream doesn't realize, stuck with a sad smile and lost laughter aches.)

To any fic writers who worry they are wasting their time... I read a fic for a relatively small and inactive fandom about three years ago. And there was one specific scene where a character watched another dancing like an idiot to a beyonce song and it was so sweet and loving that even now years later I have that song on one of my spotify playlist so every once in a while it will play and remind me of that fic, and every time it does I smile and feel a little happier.

The stats on a fic will never really tell you if your writing touched someone. There's no numerical way to show you what impact you made. Maybe you are wasting time, or maybe you are writing something that someone will remember for a long time, something that will never fail to make them smile.

The Entity Headcannons P6

I knew this was worth it.

I haven’t watched Grian’s ep11 since I know it is going to TAKE me. I am going to be off in la la land for a good 6 hours rambling about this rock and because exams I haven’t had a day I can give up like that. So instead that shall be p7 of headcannons, I will not be okay. I’ve been stanning this rock since day 1! Y’all are late to the party! :D ( This will also be spoiler free for those who haven’t watched Grian’s ep11 too! )

The Mumbo has lost his jumbo, o7, the man is down to one braincell. s9 ep9 my beloved.

The Entity is a disconnected piece of The Big Rock. They’re both stealing things from the world. What The Big Rock, or Dwanye as I’ll be calling it, got its items from The Rift and yoinked them up. The Entity just travelled a bit away, for why I will wonder, hopefully Grian will get us the actual answer for that someday. But for now I’m saying The Entity wanted to be its own eldritch being and you go you you little rock. I swear I’m getting the adoption papers ready!

Obviously these 3 are very connected. The Rift spits out items, Dwanye yoinks them up, and The Entity is a piece of Dwanye. Who knows, maybe even Dwanye came from The Entity and whichever realm it was from. Just slowly, overtime, eating up everything it spits out, slowly growing in size and becoming more powerful with time. Atoms change and whichever law that’s called, using them to get bigger, and slowly get more rocks? Cause there’s the main one, then tons of others all around- the entity is just one of those. That means they’re all similar, Dwanye has children!

May we all wish Dwanye a happy baby shower? Its a parent to many and deserves many gifts, maybe a few glowing purple eyes the children would enjoy!

The Entity left home to become a business man, I’m so proud of it, its succeeding in life. Making so very much money and food to bring home! Dwanye is tearing up right now. Who needs college when you’re a siren rock am I right?

...I’ma have to fight Dwanye for custody rights brb

Sweet boys <3

Rambling about bright colors and how they could work with watchers

Firstly, my friend just sent me artwork of Watcher!Grian and I was aghast with many happy emotions. One thing that struck me is that they included parrot wings with the watcher design, this lead my mind to many places and I just need to ramble it out. I’m not the most artistic person. I’m no good at drawing, at the moment at least, and I can’t begin to recount the details of color theory, setting up a scene, how a piece all comes together in artwork so I don’t know how feasible my idea is. The concept that struck me: The bright colors of a parrots wings. You ever seen those animations with flashing colors, or pieces of artwork with splashes of color to convey something? Usually, from my limited understanding, its trying to convey disorientation. ( See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS3q-MGK7Og ) Flashing lights can help convey feelings of  discombobulation, a daze, and confusion. Now see an art piece that’s a take on watchers with bright colors, or an animation that goes fully into this blowing up, splattering colors across the canvas with being.

It’s just a cool artistic touch too! A additional thing could be colors are seen when an watcher is seeing, otherwise its a black and white palette. Look back to what bright, flashing colors can see, and how it gets overwhelming, and that’s a way to show how watching can get overwhelming, and to show that feeling to the viewer! Then to fade back to the calmness that is black and white. Or just an art piece in general with watcher!Grian and aspects of these colors. Showcasing the overwhelming confusion. Or maybe its how others might see the watchers!

It’s a lot different than traditional eldritch horror or biblically accurate angels. If I recall correctly, they use a lot more black and white to help convey those, like an explosion! Then impact frames and all that jazz. But just a piece filled with different colors, highlighting disorientation, then the purple eyes just piercing through that and still seeing despite all the colors and everything they are seeing.

The wings being different colors, the screen dripping blood that’s a different color, a glitch effect, Or just one set of bright, nearly eye bleeding wings that glitch into existence, maybe the colors of the bright colors normally associated with glitching- then you can add a black void or something as the such!

This probably already exists, but rambling about art ideas gets the itch out of my wrist. Thank you if you’ve read, as a little ending treat, imagine Grian only being able to see in black and white and being shocked when others point out he has parrot wings. Then learning to grow and accept that, then one day seeing them and seeing they aren’t near as mind numbingly bright. They’re more calm, down to earth, cooler colors. Or something like that- I’m just rambling a concept! It works better as a artistic metaphor than a writing one!

( A few more visual examples, CW for bright lights on all of these. I just spent a bit searching for some but I can’t find many other examples. But its basically those works where the central character is a bright color https://youtu.be/bTdnMcYSXeU Warrior Cats animation, more on the black and white and flashing lights.

https://twitter.com/ember_png/status/1355278976869138441 Artistic work of c!Karl from DSMP https://youtu.be/fQ3DTDbV6lo?t=38 Another Warrior cats animatic, this skips you to the more colorful/bright part. https://youtu.be/SRd7qrTzbJY?t=90 DSMP animatic, skips straight to the part that adds to what I’m mentioning, although watch the entire thing its cool. )

[Suffering - Epic: the Musical x Underverse animatic ]

I'm so relieved this is finally done. This took me literally months to make.

I just wanted to combine two of my favorite interests together lol

I also personally see Cross and Dream fitting the Odysseus and Penelope roles very well tbh

Anyways, maybe I'll make more eventually, I had a lot of fun making this one

The Entity <3

1. It has a water based heart.

2. Now there’s a tree growing out of it!

But- the look of that heart almost reminds me of a jelly fish. I might be pulling at strings a bit, but the see through with the glass and the ability to see the heart on the inside? Or any transparent based lifeforms you can see their internal organs.

I.E This is The Entity <3. Technically speaking, The Entity has taken shelter inside of this boulder. There’s greenery growing on top and all around it because the water is sustaining life, and this is where the tree roots would grow as well! Yet it’s place in right in the center, breathing in and out as people leave and enter. This is it in all its grand glory. Set on display like a museum does with a T-rex skeleton.

It’s real and unreal all the same. And, back to t-rex skeletons, there’s different versions that can be put together. There’s museum’s with different pieces and parts mismashed together and we have all the remains dated and noted down. If there ever becomes lore with The Entity besides being a shop, I’ll bet that destroying the heart won’t do a single thing. ( It’s just a sirens call. )

Now lets say The Entity is what it touches. It’s water moreso, assuming its taken the form of a transparent life based sentient creature. ( oh my gosh, the more I write the more I love this gosh dang little rock aww ) Could it spread to the lifeforms it touches? Is the moss growing and those trees apart of The Entity? Could it flow there? Just how much sentient life does this Eldritch being have, or is it connected to someone else and this is just a form its taking and its brain is elsewhere, which is why its just a heart? Is its grass the brain? There’s so much on The Entity and yes Grian thank you.

Sentient rock with a sirens heartbeat <3

season nine is good
