After two years I think it's finally time to use my drawing tablet again, because my ipad literally tried to delete everything I drew for this
Tumblr support finally got back to me and said they fixed my tag problem, so I’m reposting this!
fic posting YIPPE
Time had stopped one trillion steps ago. Laugher bubbles from beyond the atmosphere. On the other side of a non-existent mirror. They smile with their eyes, their being touching every segment of the barrier, clacking a head against it softly. A blue moon shimmers back, full of the same old book smell and a parent with a puffed chest speaking of their children. It rumbled, leaving behind echoes of a xylophone and oh, their bright, sun-struck soul could touch the sky. -- OR, in which it's been 166 years since the corruption and deletion of Dreamtale. Nightmare's made a home for himself, Dream's an unstable corrupted creature, and Error has a crippling fear of his mistakes.
I like to give Dream an MP3 player. It's a little yellow one, some scratches, probably the most off-color yellow you'd be able to get. Any solemn minute, locked away in his own little world, Dream turns it on. Music very quickly became his singular way of coping with the entire situation that is his life after getting the device.
Some years back Dream received it as a gift. They had some pre-downloaded songs, but really wanted to say thank you- Dream saved their families lives from Nightmare. They'd outgrown this little thing, perhaps it'd be loved by another. Dream, knowing full well the little spout of smiles they'd feel, accepts the gift. Every new world Dream travels too the thought of getting to add more music makes him pause, spending a little more time in each one to discover artists(not ever going to a live performance, the thought of doing so always leaving Dream a little choked up). Over the years, Dream gets a few more from the few friends he's able to create, never getting himself another device. There's not many, maybe a max of 3 mp3 players before an method to significantly increase the amount of storage space is created(once Dream finds that he doesn't think before buying it. Soon enough, its connected to the little off-yellow player).
Definitely he to listens to every type of music, finding something interesting in every genre, but indie rock just happens to be the most he has saved(if you asked Dream what his favorite genre was, he wouldn't be able to answer). He uses the other mp3 players to save entire albums he enjoys, then deciding what song to listen to in his down time became stressful and the shuffle button on his mp3 has started turning gray much to his dismay. Some songs hit too close to home, and for many years he quietly saved those onto the player. No, it'll never be seen or known by another person. Unless Dream let you know him, you'd never know he listens to music as much as he does.
Overtime, I think, Blue would eventually get a sticker on one of them. Dream isn't entirely sure how he feels about it, but the sticker is glowing like a bright star. It certainly isn't being taken off anytime soon
season nine is good

I’ve watched the animatic six times. I’ve listened to the OST about forty times. I actually picked out Tommy’s motif on the piano, geeking out the entire time, and the notes are A, C E, F, F D E, G E C D, B, G, A (and repeat) in the key of C.
Just picking out the musical themes and how someone could built an entire series’ worth of OST from this piece alone based on motifs and musical language - Because if you’ll notice, Dream gets the horns and drums, but Tommy gets the violins and piano -
Let’s start with Mellohi’s halting waltz near the beginning, after the record scratch, the familiar and haunting notes that have become Dream’s calling card in every way. Starting off slow as Sad-ist reminds us that Tubbo and Tommy have been dancing this dance since the very beginning, the two of them against Dream, all three hanging on to each other for different reasons. Then it gets more intense until they’re losing to Dream and the horns and drums are overpowering the entire piece.
But then in the bunker, when Tubbo and Tommy are at their weakest but their bond is strongest, it rises up in protest. There’s still the weight of Dream’s presence but you’re feeling their desperation and dedication to each other loud and clear.
Only for it to all blend harmoniously as the others arrive.
And when Dream says what he says at the end, suddenly the symphony goes silent, except for halting piano notes - Tommy’s theme at it’s barest - stripped away, just like he’s been stripped away to nothing more than a boy who wants his brother back.
And then - and then it’s only strings playing the motif, because that’s when Wilbur’s gripping his shoulder and saying “I’m proud.” Because Tommy’s only half of what he could be without his brother supporting him.
OH AND HERE’S THE BEST PART. When Dream’s entire world is flipped on top of his head and he’s caught in a web of his own making, that’s when the drums come back, when TOMMY’S the one holding an axe over his prone form, the drums come back full force and vengeful and just keep thundering, over and over and over like a heartbeat out of control.
And the entire piece begins with a single drumbeat. Because it was Dream who initiated this entire fight.
I can’t even begin to process that this was composed specifically for Sad-ist, the queen of animation herself. She deserves nothing less. Moral of the story, guys, go give 2WEI your love and support, this piece is nothing short of GENIUS and they deserve our thanks for giving us such an amazing gift.
CW: Dissociation, Body Horror, Lucid Dreaming, Derealization, generally losing control of your body(please tell me if I missed any, thank you!)
An AU where the MTT + Cross are all trapped within a nightmare, created in part by Pass!NM in a desperate attempt to create a loving, nurturing family, then Corrupted in an effort to survive. All of them aren't in control of themselves, only able l to watch and listen as their bodies move and speak without input from themselves. Someone else is in the drivers seat and the gang is sat in the back, forced to watch as the bad, bad driver continue down the road.
They know this is wrong. Killer being overly emotional, Horror endlessly cooking, Dust talking, and Cross being a big ol' baby. Nothing about this is normal. Especially not the little kid running around.
In the real world they actually lowkey only tolerate each other. Every single one too afraid of Nightmare to try anything in particular. With Killer having been recently replaced and all, it wouldn't bode well to try and cause conflict. But tldr; they have bare minimum tolerance for each other and new Killer is still a complete, negative bubbling mess trying to get their head together. They have basic respect. That does not entail having movie nights or cuddle piles(DEFINITELY not cuddle piles. Eugh Dust barely got enough control of his wheel to escape that night).
Regardless, they can all tell this dream they're in isn't real. Waving to each other each morning with a smile isn't them. And now its up to the four to break free from Nightmare's control and escape from whatever hellish alternative nightmare this is.
Teehee Dream doing enough damage to Nightmare to cause his form to start falling down and, desperately trying to survive, pulling his four subordinates into a horrific nightmare(being a loving family). Making little Passive happy too is key to his survival. Imagine Passive and whatever magic corrupt used is pretty much all Corrupt had left. So now its a tale of making Passive happy, making him eager for the future, and by proxy Corrupt's life. Then Corrupt absorbing all the negative feelings of his subordinates tied like puppet strings. Only ever planning to release them once he's recovered enough to retain his usual physical form. That is.. if they make it to that point.
Imagine that through how much energy Corrupted is draining from his gang they physically cannot keep up with the demand. Corrupted is slowly draining their souls away, taking piece by piece of all the Negativity out. They can only watch as Passive cries and is asking why one of them is dying and want nothing more than to turn away, only able to feel the core of happiness left inside them. They're on a clock to try and escape from this paradise.
Oh and pass!NM being the eldritch horror of this dream. Hes nigh unpredictable. Whatever he says goes. Reading a book to bed, hugs, long, exhausting talks. Anything he wants WILL happen. It doesn't matter how much resistant one has developed. He randomly appears in places, as if theres teleportation. The rooms he's in are always brighter and the shadows hug him tightly.
They are definitely stuck in an world with a little, sad kid with hundreds of issues which they cannot upset at all giggle
YOURE SO RIGHT??? LIKE AAA?!?!
"I follow you around, I always have But you've gone to a place I cannot find"
Nightmare's there one day and suddenly has vanished in the blink of an eye. Dream realizing that, when he awakens, that his brother isn't there in Dreamtale anymore. That Nighty isn't by his side. Then once he too escapes Dreamtale, seeing his own brother cause all pain for hundreds out in the wider multiverse, all after watching him murder the village. Visually seeing how much he's changed- down to the color of his magic. Then pausing, watching, thinking, and finally hearing that his brother isn't there anymore. He's gone.
"But a tiny voice whispers in my mind "You are lost, hope is gone But you must go on And do the next right thing"
This is also so Dream, like, aarhhghgnnjkjlmklmk. He'd say something similar to this to himself. Please I'm seeing Dream say this and him just being utterly broken by everything around, then picking himself back up because it's the only thing he is able to do. (but also the idea of "that voice" being pass!nightmare)
"Can there be a day beyond this night? I don't know anymore what is true I can't find my direction, I'm all alone The only star that guided me was you"
The world feeling like its ended and restarted for dream with discovering the fuller multiverse then about his brother sometime after. Everything's been flipped on his head and now it's just him, trying to figure out how to manage being alone for the first time in his life. Not to mention "the only star that guided me was you" is just super sweet, and a wonderful play on their light sun-moon motif that often goes around with the twins.
"I won't look too far ahead It's too much for me to take But break it down to this next breath, this next step This next choice is one that I can make"
Him being horrified to look towards what future possibilities there are for him and living in a world without his brother by his side. Living in a world with a wide universe, tons of more people relying on the golden apple inside his ribcage than just the little villages Dream knew existed. Not to mention said brother now brings torment to worlds of people. Dream taking a large breath and trying to take it all one step at a time since that's the best he can do after awakening from stone. Anything else is all too much and AAA. After seeing what their reality has become because of the villagers and now, Nightmare?
Dream's going to try his best. Going to do the next right thing one step at a time(and Dream doing good because he failed Nightmare is utterly heartbreaking. He can make it better for some, save others from their own dying world, but the causation of it is, in his mind, his biggest failure. You put it perfectly and this song just fits so WELL mjjmakmskmd /pos ).
This song absolutely makes me think of Dream, freshly released from his statue prison and learning of what his brother has become. He hardly has time to grieve the loss, there are so many to take in at once he barely even knows of which to start. Of course for his brother, the very same one who has become unrecognizable, who now seeks to wreak havoc to those innocent. And what else, here he is suddenly older, suddenly surrounded by so much, learning of things he'd never thought possible just yesterday. But there isn't time for that, there are innocent folk whose lives are at stake and he has to help. He must do the next right thing because it is he who couldn't help the one who meant the most to him.
im fighting artblock by just drawing the fucking bird man. it works.
