#The idea of Nightmare being absolutely KO’d by a meal made with love was just too funny to me

[glitchthedemon]

Nightmare saves Horror from the famine and poor living conditions of Horrortale and brings him to the castle. Horror is incredibly grateful, he gives something he views as incredibly valuable - food. Of course, it’s not the best meal to ever be cooked, but it’s edible.

Nightmare initially declined but after Horror insisting he agrees to eat it. The dish wasn’t so bad, but unfortunately, Horror was SO grateful to Nightmare that the amount of positivity subconsciously cooked into the food makes Nightmare feel ill. Nightmare doesn’t leave his room for the rest of the day.

Nightmare refuses to admit it made him sick. He’s fooling no one. Ever since, Horrors made sure not to feel too positively when cooking, and Nightmare started to emphasise the idea guardians don’t need to eat like mortals do, stop worrying. Neither of them have talked about the incident since, but they both remember it every time the sit down to eat
