#he’s so well characterized in Reapertale and it’s such a shame that’s not taken advantage of

What characters do you like to see fanart of the most? Or that make you happy?

Hey anon what do you think

Ok for real though? First Nightmare, obviously. This man is my muse, my little scrunckly, my beloathed motherfucker, I am in constant torment over him and I will never be free

Specifically thought I really do love art and fics that do deep dives into Nightmares character and motivations. I find his psychology incredibly interesting, and with so many different ways to take his development (especially in relation to his character intersecting with Dream and the Gangs characters,) he ends up being really versatile in how he’s written.

And since I just mentioned them I will say I’m also a huge fan of Dream and the other Bad Sanses. They’re all a bit different for me in the sense I can enjoy their characters in a shallower, more fun way without having to constantly break down every level of their psychology (though I still do that plenty, just not literally all the time like with a certain someone.)

Like, I just love seeing these guys do stupid shit. The classic “comic in which the Gang does something incredibly stupid/insane while Nightmare looks on exasperated” will never not be a hit for me. Banger formula we’ve hit as a fandom

One more character I actually really really love is Reaper. I’d actually say he’s my second fav after Nightmare, and I legitimately think he’s so underrated. He’s SO interesting and it’s criminal how little he gets explored outside of shipping and just being in the background. Don’t get me wrong I love my ships more than anyone, but like- can we please stop making him so one dimensional in every paring he’s in. Please I beg. So that all being said literally anytime something is about Reaper and is even slightly deep I will lose my mind.

So anyway this was supposed to be like a paragraph max but here we are so uhhh, enjoy the essay anon o7
