#corrupted nightmare dreamtale

my desire to infodump the ideas i have for this au is palpable

@wr-n you did this to meh

... thankyou

i shall now proceed to let my brainrot lose in the form of an infodump

I've kinda been thinking that there has to be a reason nightmare cant just leave these types of dreams the second it starts getting bad. So what if it is actually impossible for him to wake up by himself before the dream is over and if someone else where to try and wake him up he would end up extremely confused and simultaneously be controlling his dream and physical selves. This can be very dangerous as if he were attacking an enemy in his mind that might translate to real life and he could end up causing a lot of damage. Plus he would be the most disoriented creature in all the known multiverses.

Glowbug is basically an inner child to put it simply. He is immune to the nightmare creatures and is key for anyone to survive Nightmares mindscape and get out with any sanity at all. He is a guide to temporary safe spots which will appear for anywhere from 10 min to an hour each before disappearing. These safe spots are usually formed by good memories hence why Glowbug who is a memory given form is able to sense and find them.

Also I imagine the nightmare creatures that would be living in Nightmares mindscape can legitimately be a threat. Like they might be able to do actual harm if they where to successfully attack Nightmare. And what if Nightmare was to die in his mindscape.

what if this were to happen and Nightmare was in a coma for a while his dream self recovered. So the gang Is just very Worried because Nightmare is just in a coma for some reason and they have no idea why.

*aggressively shakes AU* WHY MUST YOU HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL

the idea for this au was from @wr-n

Dream doodle page!!! (dream owned by @/jokublog)

thank you to the people who helped me out with ideas on this one!!

Here's the notes if you can't read them:

the words dragon fruit point to dream eating a dragon fruit

Dream: I'm fine!

An arrow points to him, which reads: he's not

An arrow points to an apple pie dream is holding.

Dream: It's so *SNIFF* GOOD (he's eating apple pie while crying)

Dream, while gripping nightmare's shoulders tightly: YOU-

Nightmare: Lol

some of these doodles inspired off these memes of course

I think my favorite “fanon” interpretations of nightmare have to be like cartoonishly evil and silly. Or like, old and powerful and grumpy about it and you best get off his lawn.

Peepaw Nightmare, he complains about his back and how “back in my day!” and he calls Killer “boy” when he’s upset with him. “Boy quiet.” “Boy quiet.” “Boy quiet now.”

Killer uses the movements of his tentacles to predict the weather like some older folk say they can feel the weather changing thanks to things like their “bad knee.”

And most of the time NM’s tentacles usually can predict the weather. Nightmare smacks killer over the head with his tentacle like an older man hitting the ankles of youngsters with a cane for being rowdy.

And like peepaw is really knowledgeable about a ton of things but also doesn’t keep up with modern technology and killer uses this to fuck with him for amusement. Convinced him a roomba is some type of highly intelligent pet.

And nightmare knows he’s being fucked with, but he’s just too stubborn and prideful to “get with the times.” And killer knows that he knows, so it’s like a game to see who cracks first.

Peepaw Nightmare uses the “it’s because you’re always on that damn phone” with killer a lot. Even in situations where it doesn’t make any sense. Killer threatens to put him in a nursing home frequently.

And nightmare has this big specific chair thats just for him and everyone knows it but it’s become a game to see who can sit on it for how long without getting caught. (Cross is the only one refusing to probably).

Killer frequently hears “why can’t you be more like cross and dust?” from the old man whenever he’s Had Enough of the antics.

And nightmare knits like cartoonishly evil versions of holiday sweaters for the group and has like the fucked up creepy doll equivalent of a beanie baby or porcelain doll collection. Dust feels like a sort of kinship with dolls and the other dudes have like a comical fear or aversion to them. Nightmare named every one like they’re his kids & the only ones understanding it r error & dust.

Everyone else refuses to call the dolls by name, besides cross who does it in a reluctant creeped out way.

Nightmare & error have old people beef over aus like old neighbors beefing over property lines & mowing the others lawn or something. & nm beefs with color about being a “good influence” on killer.

Nightmare calls dream at random intervals just to curse him out and insult him before hanging up and refuses to answer whenever Dream calls first. The “stars vs bad sanses” “negativity vs positivity” war/balance doesn’t actually exist or is just tipped enough in nightmare’s favor that he doesn’t worry about it so instead the twins just squabble over the golden apple though phone like its a custody battle over a beloved pet.
