#dreams are evil sometimes

[rat-rosemary]

Dream as a mythological figure is so underutilized in fanfic actually. Like just describing "man who is being eternally hunted" already sounds like classic fucked myth.

You wanna do a fantasy Bamf Tommy fic and need a mentor? Bam! He trained with The Eternal Prey and his immortal hounds when he was a kid.

Techno injured injured you need a deus ex machina for a final battle? Throw in the immortal hunters!

Just want a cool little tidbit, prayer or curseword that implies a wider world? "May you be as clever as The Dreamer" "The winds are howling tonight's, the hunt must be passing by" "Lock the damn door, at this rate The Prey will think you're inviting him in to eat"

What is his point in the world? Maybe he tends to dying magic in a never-ending circle. Maybe he's responsible for the seasons, running back to kill whatever causes winter so spring can bloom again and he can be reborn. Maybe he's responsible for catching lost and stay souls. Maybe he got cursed to this. Maybe he's so old that the only people who know are him and his hunters and none of them know how to explain it outside of their archaic language. Maybe he's so young that other gods don't quite get his purpose, like he was born to fix/deal with something new in the world they don't quite understand.

The world is your oyster!!! Have fun!!!!!

At one point you did mention that Babette is one of Teddy's 'evil exes'. How did they both break up? Why did they break up?

I am airing out Teddy's dirty laundry today it seems... 👁️👁️

So, Teddy is very oriented towards a certain plot-point goal, on top of finessing his magic feats and Ghostmastery Craft. He tries to make time for his dating life, but what ends up happening a lot is that his partners end up getting neglected, and him being somewhat of an egotistical flirt often makes them even angrier 😔

Babette Yaga is one of his more hot-headed exes geared towards total annihilation, yes, hahaha! She's a lover scorned! She comes bearing grudges! A recurring theme with a lot of his "Evil Exes"!

Left: Old Babette concept sketch! Right: A guy that sucks

Have you ever thought of them having a bunk bed? Who would get the top bunk?

I wanna say Remus cause he'd like to hang from it but also I kinda like the idea of him thinking he's the monster under Roman's bed if he had the bottom bunk!

(I'm now just thinking about Monster Under The Bed Remus and how fun that would be as an au...)

FUCK YEAH

Remus would enjoy being the monster under the bed, 100%, and would also enjoy the fact that he can do shit and Roman can't see him. Can't help imagining him making obscene sounds as a joke while just laying down in bed just to piss off Roman. I am still on my "Remus being his inappropriate self without giving it much thought vs. Roman giving it so much thought" agenda

Also ngl Roman would want the top bunk because he's a diva and he's special and he's above everyone else. Roman, to me, generally enjoys being on top of things. He would hate being UNDER Remus as stupid as it sounds. To me. I just see him as a top bunk person. Remus 100% climbs up there regularly though

I feel like, if given the opportunity too, I would do psychological warfare but I can't because what would my mom think :(

[nightsandreala]

Thinking about if Reala’s design and personality were partially inspired by heels in wrestling 🤔

He is an actual villain unlike heels but I know it’s a pretty common fan theory that before NiGHTS rebelled, they would take the “friendlier” role while collecting Ideya, befriending the visitors and helping them regain their Ideya, and then Reala comes in and Gets Them™, so he portrays a villain within their specific Ideya-collecting act (and I guess NiGHTS kind of does too once the overall plan is revealed but yk)

I was wondering why he was designed with muscles- it’s probably just to better distinguish him from NiGHTS’ daintier and more elegant design and establish him as an antagonist but I feel like he does that well enough even without muscles, so I thought this could be a cool explanation idk

WC ocs bouncing in my head. Fogthroat doesn't take on an apprentice for a long time. Being trained in the Dark Forest, grappling with that and what it means in his death he refused. And I don't think he told anyone. It was a silent thing. His mentor noticed the little scars, the messed up fur, the sudden change in his style but Fogthroat wouldn't talk about it.

And he still doesn't. Even now, as a well-respected (senior) warrior. He's just sharp. Sharp edges that won't be roughed down.

It doesn't help that Lionleap, even now, moons after they last trained together, still visits. Sometimes it's in his dreams but other times... Other times she's there. In the land of the living. And it bothers him. The way she taunts, the way she looks at him, the way she treats him like an apprentice who doesn't know anything. And she still acts like she cares. Sees her dead son in him and it makes his stomach churn because he's told her again and again he's not her son. He's not a replacement for her kit.

And when his leader finally does give him an apprentice, for months it's not great. He's a harsh trainer. They get to hear him loudly (and obviously) telling his leader that "I don't respect your decision. It wasn't the right one. Give them to another warrior. We have others."

Of course that doesn't happen. And there's a lot to be said of how Fogthroat could change, could grow, could see himself in this young warrior but he doesn't. He sees an arrogant little kit who doesn't know what's what. And they try hard to get his approval but no matter how good they hunt, how well they fight, anything, it's a cold shoulder and barely a good job.

Until one day Lionleap comments on his apprentice and Fogthroat breaks. Confronts her with teeth and claws, snarling and spitting for her to not lay a single paw on them. Not to touch a whisker or he'll come to the Dark Forest and kill her himself. He tells her as he has her pinned that she's not going to influence any more cats. She's done. Ends it with "I always wanted you to be good. I wanted to know... To prove you were. So when I died, I could get Starclan to somehow bring you back. Reunite mother and kit. But that's never going to happen Lionleap. You sealed your fate long ago. To stay here and die forgotten."

And as quick as the two were squabbling, she's gone. Very few words spoken. Leaving Fogthroat huffing, fur puffed out, the air heavy and electric.

The next time he trains his apprentice, outwardly, nothing changes. No one knows. No one will.

But finally, his apprentice hears him mutter out that he did good enough at hunting alone.

And that's a start, isn't it?

sometimes true love is letting another man stick his entire hand inside your chest cavity while you stare longingly into his eyes.
