I like to think that thanks to Jason's death, Dick's hair became straighter and let it grew bacause he couldn't care less. He was trying to be a good brother to Tim tho, and Timmy was trying to also be a good brother but you know, he was doing the best a little kid could know.

After seeing the underground still in ruin after the fire 10 years ago, a injury that made him unable to stay as a royal guard and Spruce/Papyrus now not needing Forest/Sans to take care of him, Forest got into a depression. The think getting him out of it being his brother giving him a new purpose; to restore the underground to is former, blooming, glory.

Reblog if its ok to spam you with boops

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

I have a really stupid hc: nightmare takes better care of his minions than dream/ dreams actually really toxic. Like, yes he's the bad guy, but he takes really good care of his lackeys when they need help mentally and stuff, when dream is so focused on spreading positivity that he doesn't even realize he's hurting the others not caring for them and not letting them do basic things like eat and sleep properly

I’ve seen that headcanon around actually and I think it’s funny /pos

Like I love the idea of Dream being way too focused to realize the damage he causes while Nightmare has a better grasp on things

But also kinda gets into the shaky grounds of “asshole Dream” if not written well

I’m not really a fan of “bad guy” Dream, or the interpretation of Dream being that he’s an asshole who doesn’t care at all

The thing is, I’d love to see that headcanon actually be connected to the twins’ traumas, as I often see people portray them that way and only go for how Nightmare’s is kind and his trauma made him a better leader but Dream is just an asshole, and i’m here like.. WHY????

Like why make Nightmare a better written character just cause you sympathize with him? Why not sympathize with Dream too? Why is Dream’s trauma and the abuse he went through immediately ignored for the sake of making Nightmare kind? Making Nightmare the “better twin”?

Why not make both twins have both good and bad behaviors? Why simply reduce them to black and white?

Like I genuinely would enjoy the idea of Dream being toxic while showing that it’s not his intent, showing that he genuinely doesn’t mean to be toxic, it’s that his toxic behaviors are born out of how his trauma blinded him and how his actions are just the effect of a pre-existing cause, rather than just reducing Dream’s character to a bad guy or an asshole and that’s it y’know?

Like honestly toxic Dream for the win if it shows his vulnerability and how his trauma takes part of it

For me, when it comes to my own interpretation of Nightmare and Dream, I love to think of the opposite but only to an extent?

I like to think Nightmare would be abusive/toxic to his minions, but not to the point they collapse, (unless he was in a really bad mood and he had some sort of emotional outburst) but generally, he doesn’t care about what they do but he makes sure to make it clear that he expects them to eat and sleep and do whatever basics they need to do, as well as give them leisure/ down time for them to do whatever they want as long as they keep up, as he’s extremely practical and would not want to have them unfit for missions or plans he wants to carry (not out of the kindness of his heart but rather cause it would inconvenient him)

All while trying to show that Nightmare has a genuine sense of humanity (for a lack of better word) to him, show that he’s the way he is cause of the trauma he went through, show that he’s not all abusive and show that he has a kind side to him while showing how he squashes that kindness inside him due to trauma

While Dream is actually quite genuinely kind and loves helping people, and is genuinely trying his best to better himself every day, but is quite destructive to himself, he would not accept help from others, and feels the need to save others without saving himself, completely sacrificing his physical and mental health, and assuming he’s the only one who can fix things, a savior complex if you will, he’d work himself down to the bone without relying on his friends or anyone else, (this is a part of how he has his fallout with Ink in my interpretation) he’s too blinded to the fact others can share the weight with him

It’s completely unhealthy to his own self and by extension, he can appear overbearing and someone who gets his nonexistent nose into the business of others without considering their feelings or thoughts about it, and also appear as tho he thinks others are too incompetent to deal with either what he himself deals with, or what others deal with in their own lives, that he’s better than them in a way (it’s not his intent as he genuinely tries his best to be mindful of other’s feelings) but his self destructive behavior is something that Blue is trying to get through his thick skull, but Dream is too stubborn (a characteristic he ironically shares with Nightmare)

So I guess my interpretation of the two is the opposite to what is usually portrayed in the fandom, but I mean, there isn’t many interpretations I agree with in the fandom to begin with Hdhdhxhhd

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.

Nonbinary Dream <333 I love the exploration with them in relation to their life throughout and the journey to understanding. Like- gender? Pfft, whats that? They're still processing the fact that Nightmare is a goopy guy! Gender being put off for years until it all explodes in their face just, one night when they're all alone as most things do for Dream. (Also Dream and Nightmare being lil genderless spiritual creatures)

Ack Ink refers to everyone with they/them pronouns unless told otherwise and this is where it all starts for Dream ^-^ And never having been told otherwise by Dream, those pronouns just stuck around!

I hope y'all see my vision with this one, I use they/them for Dream so often I genuinely forget the fandom regards them as a he/him smh

Sweet boys <3

Dream and Nightmare Belongs to @jokublog

Not me imagining a world now where Nightmare dies over and over and over. If it were to ever occur in an universe, how would it affect Nightmare? How might it affect the balance as a whole?

Would the corruption slowly vanish, eventually revealing Pass!Nightmare beneath it all? Like- give Passive some ability to think a little more and take control if hes still there? Then if thats the case, it brings the question of can Passive's form even survive without the corruption? But then begs the question if Passive is even there at all.

Or maybe Passive is the first soul, the first apple Dream kills when his arrow goes through Nightmare's apple(and what if the remains of Passive was important to NM's entire existence in some way. What if its needed to keep his form together? Do his powers change and he has to relearn them all over(like maybe the way he absorbs negativity and inflicts others with it? Maybe its more slow, laggy, like its a reluctant child. Can he be labeled a guardian in a Check without an part of Passive being there? Where does that leave NM? )

What if with every death Nightmare is now slowly falling apart, struggling more to keep himself together. Every day slogging atop his paths, form constantly getting stuck between the tiles, one hand fused together more similar to the tentacles on his back. In the absent room where his papers are allocated, no one would find him with a mouth(unnecessary to put power into when hes alone, unless there's a lovely drink left next to his books). With every life lost, Nightmare's body is falling apart, becoming more similar to the amalgamations from the lab than an skeleton.

Now how does DREAM react to this? Was the first death accidental? Or purposeful. He wanted to make the universe better, or he was just exhausted. Will he be less careful with his shots knowing NM can die as much as a human? Or will he pull his arrows totry and not kill NM? And saying he goes through with trying to take down NM, goes on the aggressive, and isn't afraid to strike at the soul of his corrupted brother. Would he feel good about seeing Nightmare fall apart or would he cry himself to sleep(he definitely cries himself to sleep)?

You could go even further- what side effects occur within the multiverse? NM would probably get more aggressive, but with ever apple killed, theres technically less negativity. Theres emotions that could be changed so Dream could more easily spread positivity. If NM is weaker with ever apple taken, then it would slowly get easier to fight him(NM's still like a cockroach about dying though). One could say theres a chance the universe could be balanced again, just at the exchange of making his once-brother suffer(I headcannon that making the multiverse perfectly balanced between positivity and negativity is nigh impossible with so many of the positivity apples being gone. I like to think its possible, but fr poor Dream will never get to sleep even if monsters want to be good and lean towards positivity naturally).

And AAAA isn't that such a interesting moral dilemma? Dream dissociating from it. Refusing to call NM by his name, and keeps blaming NM's behavior on the corruption. Imagine he makes a(or another) grave for the memory of his lost brother so he can move on and help make the world a better place. Maybe they'd reach a truce call before NM dies(I don't think NM would let himself get close. The truce is to buy time I'd bet, and Dream knows it too. But its nice to not have to fight everyday, it gives Dream more time to scrub down all his weapons with bleach and longer rests on a couch). Just dealing with it day by day, at some point not counting how many tally marks are beneath the banner on his wall, just marking down another everytime he comes home with blood on his hands(because he'd be a fool to not at least keep track. He can't bring himself to ask Blue or Core to do that, then Ink would just forget).

Then how much of themselves would be lost in the process?! They're already traumatized to the stars and back, this adds another layer to it all. Could this be something they can heal from or might it only end in tragedy if Dream decision falls upon landing a bullseye in an apple for the next decade of his life? This is NOT going to end well for them ever lmao

Dream ate 1 golden apple that became his soul, Nightmare ate 999 black apples, now he has 999 souls

Yes, Nightmare has 999 lives like a spiteful angry lil cat

tumblr making my images blurry is so untrue of them (⁠っ⁠˘̩⁠╭⁠╮⁠˘̩⁠)⁠っ

but yippee i finally drew a skeleton (yayyy yay who cheered i did)

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.

You don’t understand. The Dream SMP has its FIRST OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK.

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.
