do you think dream might also have some sort of chronic pain? nightmares legs are like obviously really messed up from corruption, but like being in stone for more than 400 (or 500 I kinda forgot how long he was in stone for) years has gotta do something to your joints or bones. Probably maybe not something as painful as what nightmare goes through, but I’d expect it to be painful or discomforting nonetheless

ACTUALLY YESSSSS ANON I DO THINK DREAM IS IN CHRONIC PAIN TOO!!!

And they’re definitely joints, definitely suffers from some sorta arthritis, being frozen in place for so long can be debilitating, and allow me to say that I love to think Dream also wasn’t just able to move around like he just wasn’t frozen for 500 years when he got free

Like I absolutely love to think he barely could move at all when he first got out of his prison, he definitely was in so much pain too, and absolutely struggled to move his limbs, like I wholeheartedly believe he just lay there without moving for a while (all while his mind was on overdrive as his memories got back to him as to what the hell happened)

And well, that pain as well as stiffness, especially in his joints just stuck with him, he now also struggles a lot of the time with moving too much or working, and sometimes the pain can amp up to the point he just can’t move at all, literally would cry from the pain, he’d force himself to stay as still as possible as to not irritate his pain even more

And unlike Nightmare, who’s pain is mostly just his back and legs, Dream’s pain is in every and each joint in his body, from every vertebrae in his spine, to every finger joint in his hands

Now take that and include Dream’s archery in the mix :)

One of the biggest things about archery is that you have to have strong flexible joints to be able to use a bow without any problems, not to mention, using it excessively can cause joint stiffness/pain, so I think it’d be easy to imagine how hellish using a bow is for Dream

But Dream had to learn how to use it effectively with his disability if he wanted to survive, the reason Dream picks up archery specifically is both cause it holds sentimental value to him as he used to play archery with Nightmare, and cause he knows he needs a long range weapon when Nightmare got his tentacles, he can’t be too careless and be at close proximity to his brother when he’s trying to kill him

So even tho there’s so much in his way, Dream managed to learn how to use a bow effectively all the same

It doesn’t mean he never faces any problems when fighting with his bow, Dream has great aim, but even then he’d sometimes miss his target just cause of the pain/stiffness he has, and sometimes it irritates his joints so much that he’s just unable to keep fighting and so he just retreats

I like to think Dream never even knew how to make his pain better at all, he never knew how to treat it, so for the longest time he just lived with it, until he met Swap, and well, he finally understood that he doesn’t need to just live with it and that there are methods to treat the pain, so now he wears braces under his clothes most the time, especially his wrists, arms and knees, he sometimes uses heat/cold therapy and he’s definitely on pain medications on a daily basis

Damn this boi needs a break

I am in love. Yeah. Killer, from @bicho-kromer 's murder time trio punk rock au, which I am absolutely fucking deranged about! I have never crushed on killer before this au, and I will never be the same. I love this au so much, like you don't even know. I love making all the skeles I like punk, cause I am and it itches that itch yk, but omg. I never thought about this, and I am this au's #1 fan now, like that is just a fact. I love the other two's designs as well, but killers was just so fun to draw, don't even get me started about how I feel about DUST WITH A BASS- OR HORROR!!! ON DRUMS!!!! ON FUCKING DRUMS!!!!!! SINGING!!!! sorry. gettin' deranged again. anyways, enjoy <3

[infecteddaydreamz]

a lil chronic pain geno doodle i wanted to share :P

so sorry its not my normal art style T_T im experiencing a flare up anddd it makes it hard to get to detailed like usual,,, but i did do another little pencil thing to make up for the lack of detial or coloring,,, not that anyone minds its not a full piece hehe /pos

anywaaaayyyy pencil afterdeath w chronic pain geno below the cut mwahaha

a little bit of understanding lover to sooth the soul... smiles

also theres a version w just geno :3

okay now thats ALL!!!! maybe ill do a digital version.... probs not but ykkkk itll linger in the cranium or whateva

[igbylicious]

me: hm fandom is always so exhausting for me even tho it's fun :( i gotta figure out a way to be in this space so it costs less energy & it won't constantly exacerbate my chronic bullshit :(

me later: okay so reviving my old ateez blog @wooyoungslipmole to reblog gifsets, art, memes etc etc works really well! (/blatant plug-in) i can easily mute the blog's notifs to manage the overstim better and i'm not flooded w/ small, flashing images in my writing blog's activity anymore so it's less of a strain to look at! yay, progress!

me, who should have stopped there: huh, maybe then a separate blog for fic recs is also smart 🤔

me: and it's also a nice excuse to finally create an actual tagging system so ppl can search recs by members! and by genre! and whether it's reader insert or not! and oneshots or series! maybe i should tag different types of au's too? 🤔🤔

me: AND OH WHAT IF, WHAT IF, what if i go through all my old recs and queue them up for the new blog so they're neatly gathered in one place, AND i rotate them by member so there's a nice even spread in content!!! and i should also spread out the writers too so they don't get spammed too much. yes yes let's do this 👍 hmm wait i've got like 80 fics in my queue now and i'm not sure if i have any recs left for certain members... i knew i'd have more for some than for others but this... hm... maybe i should tally which members are in the remaining 90 fic so i know what the exact disparity is 🤔 oh dang i read a LOT more San fic than i realised lol oop okay so all i gotta do is dig through my tumblr tbr for the other members and read massive amounts of fic for them so i can keep my queue nice and balanced! yeah lately i've felt too blocked to read anything on tumblr, that's true, but having a deadline will make all the difference to kick my brain back into gear, i'm sure 👍 brute-forcing it will have no negative consequences 👍 let's start wi— wait what do you mean it's 2am already? why is my brain all frazzled and foggy???

me: ...okay maybe, just maybe, it's not fandom that's exhausting.........

[peqchys]

having a flare up, of course im gonna draw chronic pain haver sans

[stoned-frog]

ALRIGHT GATHER UP GANG LET ME TELL YOU WHERE BABIES COME FROM ABOUT GENO SANS' MAGIC

First things first, this is just my take on the silly man Geno is and how the void left him- he's an old man now (sexy old man at that)

1. His magic level. I like to play around with magic levels and how it efect the body and Geno has almost none left, magic comes from the soul and his is...... less then sufficient. The only attacks he can make are some bones, maybe one blaster at best if he's really into it. He can only turn someone blue for a few seconds and teleporting makes him very dizzy and he sometimes collapses if he uses too much magic. Anything to do with soul power is almost always off limits- and that gets me to my second point

2. Kids. In my little interpretation monsters can reproduce just by soul connection and the will to create another monster soul, sex is really just a sort of tradition to help synchronise the two monsters' souls. SO- GENO- YEA HIS SOUL CAN'T DO SHIT. (Going with the afterdeath ship cuz I'm obsessed with them recently) He needed Life (Reapertale Toriel) to help stabilise his soul to even make a child with Reaper😭😭😭 also yes that means that in my headcanon Reaper created Goth's soul and he is more of a "mom" than Geno, whatever that means for the god of death

3. Alright back on track- he is a walking chronic pain. When he stretches or twists too much his cracks on his chest can open up again and boom another shirt ruined, so he just walks around in bloody red t-shirts so whatever leaks out of him is less visible. His body is so fragile oh my god baby how are you even walking???? I bet his fucking joints crack and grind against each other when he walks, he got a routine to make it hurt less, get more flexible in the morning or whatever but that almost always causes his wound to open up and that's a whole another problem.

4. His eye- however you wanna see him either with the glitch or just melted eye, he has one eye you can't deny that. So already half of his vision is gone and the one eye he has IT'S JUST AWFUL. His eyesight is so bad😭😭 and he refuses to wear glasses most of the time so he mostly makes out what things are by colors IT'S WORSE THAN NIGHTMARE

5. Also not really a point 5 but can someone back me up he definitely coughs blood?(or whatever the fuck leaks out of him) Like- he has red streaks going down his chin imagine he laughs and then starts choking and coughing red

@someverygaymoth I summon you

[junebuggest]

I drew Sans! A personal headcanon of mine is that he has chronic pain and cracks all over (+a hole in his skull) due to his low HP! If no HP results in death... why not low HP resulting in monster chronic conditions?

Also, this nerd needs to wear his old man glasses more.

[unknownchoatic]

im currently in massive amounts of pain so now im projecting onto Nightmare:

disabled Nightmare. put him in a wheelchair, crutches, whatever

cause like in Dreamtale when the apple incident happened the tentacles like ripped themselves out of his back. he has to have some type of chronic back pain

like the first 500 years or so, he was fine, but then his henchmen(killer) were like “no fuck that ur in pain” and its just the gradual progression of cane to crutches to a wheelchair

and Nm (though he knows that it helps and he likes that theres less pain) ngl kinda hates using his mobility aids, because he doesn’t want to seem weak.

or for those who enjoy Nightmare being in his passive form, just make him unable to walk. like the tentacles kept his spine form completely getting destroyed, but without them Nm is wheelchair bound cause the magic flowing to his legs is all fucked up

[topazshadowwolf]

Time has passed, and the gang has healed. The keywords are "Tuna," "Pink," "Clothing," and more, which you will learn soon enough.

[signanothername]

Shoutout to the time i tried drawing my headcanons of various physical disabilities the Nightmare gang have but lost motivation so you can have my headcanon for Killer cause he’s the only one i actually semi-finished

[thebad-lydrawn-sanses]

Ah. Dust your voice is different now huh? To us it just looks like it's in italics where it wasn't before...what does it sound like? More echoey? Quieter? Do you have to use more magic to talk?

Dust: i took the ability to subconsciously speak, eat, and hear for granted. it takes effort now. everything sounds muffled. eating is a slow and embarrassing task that i need help with now. i've been told that my voice sound softer, almost echo-ey. Killer says it sounds like I'm in pain 24/7. they're not wrong. i didn't have a sense of smell in the first place, so no loss there. i can still see perfectly fine for some reason i refuse to question, so, yay there too Cr: Dust's shirt: i lured him to death with a can of baked beans

[howlsofbloodhounds]

imagine Killer being both really touch starved and extremely touch averse especially if he has bad germaphobia.

Everytime Killer feels the brush of someone bones against his own it burns it reminds him of the story of Icarus flying too close to the sky his was wings burn and he drowns in the cold water below. Killer isn't sure if he would rather be burned or drown in the empty cold feeling. Going back and forth to wanting any form of touch and then immediately hating it and wanting them to stop. Its more then just that. He hasn't been touched by someone in so long that every touch feels like too much, it makes him feel vulnerable and weak, along with feelings of extreme disgust and even fear.

Also little extra blurb about Killer with germaphobia as someone who's a major germaphobe it can become more or less intense depending on emotions especially things like anxiety the more anxious I am the more germaphobic I get. Often having to repeat reassuring mantra to lower the anxiety of germs. I imagine it could go anywhere from freely touching things unless especially gross from being Unwilling to touch anything without a feeling if dudgust or fear abd feeling the need to wash anything that touched what was perched as germs which for me can be things like a house key, tables, door knobs, etc I really want some nice gloves to protect my hands cause I keep overwashing them.

Also Killer gives strong ocd vibes or im just projecting and germaphobia is common in those with ocd. I feel like his training and life with Chara would have him develop ocd. He wants things done a certain way or feels like something bad will happen or its just the obviously correct way to be done. Can also see him doing little rituals that he feels increases his luck or things that have to be done to not be cursed with bad luck. Turning the door knob to his room at least three times to ensure its locked, never walking on the opposite side of a pole as someone else, avoiding the first or last step, etc. (These are all things I do lol)

~Musical Anon

Stares at my Stage 4 Killer with OCPD adaptations headcanon. (Definitely not the same as OCD, but the need for order, control, things have to happen like this, you have to follow the rules and the routines, I have to be perfect to be safe/loved/accepted.

When in St4 the rules are the agreements of the Deal and the outlines of the Directive, but the traits would likely show up in other Stages such as 2.

The intense fear of something bad happening if it isn’t done or a rule isn’t followed is moreso from trauma and conditioning and likely indoctrination, although I can definitely see him having some type of compulsions and rituals alleviate fear/anxiety, ones tied to survival and the fear of failure perhaps—such as, in the context of my little directive headcanons—drawing little upside down hearts somewhere whenever subconsciously anxious or fearful (although 2 would deny feeling absolutely anything) or as a mindless automatic habit or whenever prevented from killing a target as if to appease some unseen watching force.

And in lower Stages, doing this absentmindedly when stressed or scared—such as whenever awaiting a punishment for failing a mission in some way (especially if he either accidentally slipped up and killed someone or was trigged into Stage 4, or simply to handle the dissonance of not killing a target) mindlessly drawing little upside down hearts on his arms with his fingers or in the air and not really understanding why. )

I can also see him absently checking and rechecking everything (such as rather obsessively checking up on the gang and that they’re still alive and attended to, not because he really cares too much about the outcome, but because the actions give him a sense of control and makes sure he’s adhering to his duties as Nightmares right hand), and probably forming rituals around the steps of caring for his weapons and tools, and arranging them in certain ways because it feels more familiar that way and he does it almost automatically now.
