#is it a dusttale thing? is it all dusts? or was that the only one? maybe this one KNOWS?

[triglycercule]

sleep deprived dust can't recognize what's dream and what's real when he goes in and out of consciousness so i think dust is allowed to be incredibly reckless when he's awake but thinks he's in a dream. he will kill whoever passes by him (or attempt to. for him it's an instict to shoot bones anyways.) he will drink 4 bottles of alcohol just because he thinks its just a lucid dream. have incredibly loud conversations with phantom paps because he's asleep so nobody will hear him talk. or just have loud ass breakdowns because again he thinks he's asleep!!! nobody's gonna know what he gets up to in his dreams. and until someone (probably phantom paps) tells him that he's not asleep and this is reality he won't realize until he's done something really reckless

horror is seconds away from exploding dust's skull open with his magic while dust is trying to strangle him and FINALLY phantom paps tells him he's awake and dust snaps out of it. killer is walking around the house with bones sticking out of him like pins on a sewing pattern (casually too. another day in the life for him) and he just asks dust what that was about. dust just gets off of horror and shrugs his shoulders with an idk. and then walks away. this is the 6th time its happened this month

HELLO INTERNET AND WELCOME TO [wickjump]

My name is Wick (she/they/star/it), also known as Wickskip (TikTok), Wickjump (Tumblr), or Hopwick (AO3*).

On all platforms my content centers around Undertale and the Undertale Multiverse, however I’ll also sometimes reblog/post about a few other fandoms.

What I post and reblog can contain themes of violence/abuse, mental illness, suicide/self harm, suggestive themes, and more. For those reasons, this blog is intended for audiences 16+ in age.

DTIYS!!!!

I AM A VICTIM OF CSA BY A FAMILY MEMBER. THESE SUBJECTS TRIGGER ME TO OVERREACT AND BECOME DEFENSIVE. I LITERALLY HAVE PTSD. ALSO STOP SENDING XVIALS ASKS :(

byf: i will sometimes post/reblog things of a suggestive nature, but none of said posts will be graphic nudity. nsfw content may be discussed, but not in detail. i will also post whump content which can include gore, torture, conditioning, dehumanization, etc.

i will occasionally talk about my experience in being groomed, abused, formerly proship (and now against it), or other traumas of mine, but posts containing those themes will always be tagged appropriately.

if you’d like to send an ask relating to your experience in any of these things, asking advice on how to write these themes, etc, you can! ^^

[elizakai]

you guys i can’t take this anymore i need to release steam from this pot of killer and dust thoughts that’s on the stove

listen. if you don’t know by now. one of my favorite things to do is bridge narratives between fanon ideas, and canon truths hehe

Killer and Dust. The accepted dynamic is basically killer being a pestering little shit and dust being over it.

THATS GREAT ON ITS OWN it’s funny etc

but think about their ACTUAL characters for a moment. they are two sides of the same coin.

⬇️

i don’t want to hear any of that old fandom “they are literally the same” shhhhh. nuh uh dear friend, they commuted the same (general) action💥

their motives and situations are very different however! which is important when it comes to understanding a character

They both played into an opposite role in their world if you ask me.

Killer partners with chara, filling the role of the player. he’s a lot like flowey actually.

(in killers world, while he is still a pawn of this sick game, he gets manipulated after all, he has taken on the ROLE of the player. everyone else are the pawns.)

dust is against the anomaly of dusttale, which is that worlds player.

dust is a pawn. a pawn that is defying the player of the game

(in the same way that killer is still pawned, dust still uses his fellow “pawns” as a means to “win” the game, meaning he’s also playing)

(but again, i’m speaking role wise)

Killer and Dust’s dynamic doesn’t have to just be haha funny, it has some actual merit and potential to their characters.

Killer is constantly looking for new forms of entertainment. something new. he’ll get bored, and if he’s bored he’ll have to look at himself. killer is very much a character representing disassociation avoidance and to an extent, escapism (huh. like someone playing a video game?)

Of COURSE he’s gonna poke at people. it’s INTERESTING. it gets a REACTION. he gets to have that small power trip of being in control, after feeling like he lost control this is something that’s probably addictive to killer.

meanwhile dust…well. killer acts like his own anomaly in a way. he prods at him, toys with him, he’s leering and he takes pleasure in any reaction dust gives. dust probably would resent this feeling without really knowing why. he feels like some toy, and he’d probably be inclined to even interpret a genuine interaction this way.

this honestly makes dusts inclination to shut off or dull down any emotion make more sense. be as unremarkable as possible, and you’ll be left alone, right?

isn’t that…kind of what sans does? he’ll repeat same lines of dialogue and such when he reallyyy doesn’t have to. he’s being uninteresting. (and no he doesn’t need to remember everything magically for that to be possible. in game he will poke fun at past conversations and dialogue so he’s clearly aware enough)

Killer wants a response, so dust doesn’t give one.

killer wants control and feels like this is a challenge, dust feels cornered and defensive

if they had existed in the same world, it would have been killer vs dust in the end either way.

it’s a big old game of cat and mouse until someone snaps. they need to be given the opportunity to understand their similarities

even in an interpretation where they are in a healthier relationship, in whatever capacity, i think these mindsets would be conflict they may have….

to killer , on one hand he may be OFFENDED by his lack of response. he may be EXCITED, it’s a CHALLENGE. he might take dusts resignation as a sign of submission, which would give killer a HIGE power trip.

he might. genuinely just be trying to have fun?

it could be ENTIRELY lighthearted, and it’s still…rather toxic, considering where that mindset branched from

and we know dust won’t be inclined to say anything. he probably doesn’t understand his own feelings to be frank💀 he just feels gross and intimidated and cornered so he shuts off and sees killer as oppressive , and grows resentful regardless of intent, as these feelings only feed into his crippling self hatred anyways

….thats all for tonight-

[neverniko101]

Trying to convince my brain that I cannot make another ask blog (it is not working help)

Anyway, a swapverse! Phastasmverse? Is that too hard to spell?

Uh

Yeah, I might be making another ask blog, probably on an actually different blog this time

I’ll probably alternate between working on this and Horror Dreamtale between STP

[skelesunderthetale]

How about what they would do on a date? Like activities and stuff like that

What they would like to do with you

Characters: Blue, Dream, Nightmare, Killer, Dust, Goth

💞

Underswap (Blue) Blue would love to share his passion for sports and exercise with you! Going on a walk, at the gym, at the beach to play some volleyball and then cool off by getting in the water… Not only are they good habits, but also they are some things that he likes and wants you to enjoy just as much. If you aren’t used to sporty activities, if you had bad experiences, it’s okay! If you are willing to try stuff out, he’ll be empathetic of your experiences and make sure to be attentive and guiding. If you aren’t ready and prefer to stay in, he’s also fine with watching action movies, comedies, or even cheesy romance with you. At least he can cuddle with his favorite person meanwhile! Dreamtale (Dream) Dream doesn’t have much time on his hands, it’s obvious. When he has enough time, and when he can actually put all his attention on you, he likes to either stay inside your home to fully relax together, do some puzzles, cross stitch, read, or even watch documentaries. He only likes TV when it makes people learn things, good luck making him watch reality shows (he’s old). If you actually want him to take you out, he’d propose a nice dinner somewhere calm and cozy, or go on a walk in a special garden place. Dreamtale (Nightmare) Nightmare being himself, he hates going out during the day, or at least when it’s sickeningly sunny and pretty. He likes foggy weather, when it’s dark, and when you can look up and see the clouds almost hiding the moon. Speaking of the moon, that’s probably one of the calmest activities you can do with him: star gazing. If you are sleeping, he would bother waking you up so you guys can watch the sky together through the big window of your bedroom. Honorable mention to: reading! He’s an old soul (if he still really has one?) and can give you easily any definition you need if you have a hard time reading some of the classics he has in his bookshelves (you saw one that dated from… like… 1798…)

Something New (Killer) Killer loves cats. His hobby is to bring a new cat everytime he comes back from a mission at this point… So to cope with his lack of time that he can spend with you, he simply makes you take care of them with him. Feed them, make sure they are okay, pet them and play with them until they are all sleeping from exhaustion. If you are allergic… Well, he’ll have to think really hard to think about something else to do with you… Actually, he has a very enjoyable sport in mind :) He’s kidding! Unless…

Dusttale (Dust) Dust is a homebody, it takes him an enormous amount of willpower to actually get out of bed each morning to do whatever jobs he needs to finish before sunset. He loves you though, and his brother wants him to do what he can to make you happy. Thank his hallucinations, because they are probably the reason why you didn’t die during your first encounter… If you want to chill at home, well good for him! I mean… you guys! He’s not really doing anything though, he’s kind of just watching you do things. Will it be drawing, dancing, singing, watching a show or video, he’s silently watching. No judgment behind those eyes though, so don’t feel silly or embarassed. If you want to go out, well he just hopes it’s not somewhere like a festival or anything.

Goth (JessyDS comic version) Goth is funny to be around, and like his name can lead to think… he’s goth, and metal, and likes anything that sounds a bit louder than usual. He’s edgy, and it shows. If he was rich, he’d buy you guys tickets to every concert of bands he likes that isn’t a 10 hour drive away. And merch! IT’S EXPENSIVE. The number of times you saw him beg his dad for 10$ then beg his other dad for 100$ (Reaper understands his passion a bit more than Geno does…) When you go to a concert, it’s loud, people stink, the lights blind you, but it’s fine: at least you can feel his wings brushing your back. --- Author note : Im not a poser, and also comments are very welcome! Requests too! I love interacting with the community

Little guy with big Boots and a little Crow

Officially named as Dusty Crumb!

Notes to his design:

He always has his crown on his head

Left eye is a bit smaler then the right one

Little dot under the left eye (in the center)

His eyes have little sharp pupile (like cats, but for him, they do not get any wider)

Has a little tail, he sometimes hides it tho

He has animal like back legs, becouse of that he is really faast when running on all four of them, but he still can stand normally like any Dust Tho you still will see that he has big feet..

Notes to his persoonality and stuff:

Dusty Crumb is a pocket size version of Dust Sans

His hight depends on his L.O.V.Y.

B-Day date 23.03.

Did someone ever heard him make any sound..?

He sees every Dust Sans as his a friend, but can see that they are not his Dust

Do not let him bite you to the blood.

Little guy will comite arson or steal, small usefull / nice looking or with high value stuff, whenever no one is looking

You guys can add this little guy to any of your AU's :D Only thing that I ask for, is to @ me so I can see what my little guy is doing! :)

Also pinging @ant1quarian becouse they collect info on the Sanses from Dustverse x3

[what-have-i-unleashed]

player!killer and anomaly!dust

since these ideas have been invading my brain lately, i feel like i need to ramble about the toxic (doomed) kist potential they have.

imagine the game world of dusttale trying to correct itself ever since the anomaly/virus that is killer entered it. so things in the world start to glitch and don't make sense. a character repeats their lines over and over without stopping. shortcuts stop working properly. character stats inexplicably get messed up. goners start appearing to warn dust and killer about the end of the world. it's nearing its doomed timeline trajectory, and yet dust will not give up trying to salvage his universe. in his mind, there's one surefire way to get everything back to normal: exterminate the virus that is killer.

dust and killer (and the goners and the almagamates) are not affected by the glitches because they are anomalies, glitches detached from the world already. to killer, this means enlightenment and freedom. he doesn't understand dust's attachment to the underground, his dogmatic beliefs about justice and the greater good for the monsters. doesn't dust want to ascend to be something "real", rather than the npcs that the rest of the monsters are? doesn't he want to escape from the control of the player? why would he want to obey to the whims of a dying, boring, constricting world anyway? if dust can't see it, then killer will make him see.

the thing is, dust is a difficult monster to persuade. sure, killer can kill him again and again (chances are 50/50 on who will win anyway). but dust always bounces back, more vindicated in his retaliation and belief that killer needs to be gone. the thing is, when you want to break someone down, you need to be the thing they fear the most. killer is already that, isn't he? he's a future of a sans, of dust's own past. this is what dust could have become. killer is what dust has become - a sans doing the work of the no-mercy player.

"aren't you bored of doing the same thing over and over again? aren't you crazy from repeating all these useless cycles only to reach the same conclusion again and again?... oh wait, you already are!"

and dust - what can he say to all that? is it true? is it not? who cares - the only satisfaction he can have is wiping that smirk off that face. killer knows intimately beings like dust - not only because they were the same person at some point, but also because dust is a control freak with a savior complex as well as survivor's guilt. deep down inside, dust cannot fathom losing. he has poured too much, sacrificed too much, to get this far. and he won't stop - not until he reaches his happy ending, which will never come. so he'll forever be stuck down here, repeating his worst nightmares again and again in a hell of his own making.

the only variable in dust's life is killer. gradually, dust treats killing other monsters as a job - an important yet thankless job that someone has to do. the only kill in which he feels something is of his brother... and killer. with killer, dust is filled with something - maybe it's joy, maybe it's hate, it's hard to tell when apathy is his usual state.

and the thing is, the opposite of love isn't hate. it's the lack of love - it's apathy. he feels something for killer - an attachment, an obsession, a possessiveness. "only i get to kill him", "he's my kill", that's what dust thinks. he rationalizes that thinking of course - killer reminds of him too much of himself, the person he hates the most. but there's that fear every time he kills killer - fear that killer will never come back, leaving dust with his empty broken world and voices in his head. and he fears killer will know it, somehow.

for killer, it's always a game to see who's the winner and who's the loser. it's a struggle for control, with the controller and the controlled. and with the player gone, dust should belong to him now. an eternal playmate, after everyone else has disappeared from his life. and like, it's totally therapeutic to beat up and mess with the guy who reminds you of yourself, right? totally not a self-esteem issue waiting to be explored or anything at all. it's funny how much they match. "look, we both wear red!" exclaims killer as he points to his own red soul and dust's red iris. determination pulls them together, and determination will break one of them in the end, and it's not going to be him. he'll persevere once this world rots away, while dust will be trapped by his own volition.

maybe, just maybe, he'll whisk dust away once the end comes. and they'll find another playground to re-enact their play again. killer will take and take and take, until all they are is dust.

Oh, I will ruin you It's a habit - I can't help it

I will only break your pretty things I will only wring you dry of everything And if you're fine with that If you're fine with that

[howlsofbloodhounds]

do you ever think about Killer not just being like semi-immortal but completely immortal. Like how in a True Pacifist "The Soul" will not break no matter how much their hp hits zero they simply refuse death. Do you ever think that Killer could achieve the same thing. Killer does have 1hp still so I always imagine him with high def to make up for it but on the other hand every attack that lands does kill him but he's only dead for less then a second before continuing on none the wiser.

Also what do you think of Reaper x Killer an angel for an angel. Or something like Past Salphys for Killer cause to be honest I've been converted to a Salphys lover im afraid that and Codependent Kist.

No one ever talks about how canonically Dusttale is ruled by the player and Frisk is just an empty vessel what would Killer think of this if he found out and the additional fact that Dust would in canon work with the player of his universe if there was a bigger threat I always got the feeling Killer was uncomfortable with Dust because of Killer firm belief that Sans would never hurt Papyrus and then there's Dust would he choose to simply not think of Dust as Sans or would he have to endlessly question himself on whether or not Sans always wanted to kill Papyrus and Dust is just proof. Sorry for the long ramble but I just love Killer Sans and more people don't do much with his canon self.

~Musical Anon

I guess Reaper x Killer would be interesting, especially because how Killer clearly doesn’t fear death at all and yet he keeps evading death and coming back to life lmao. The elusive little bastard keeps slipping from Reaper’s hands and it’s not even because he wants to live or is scared to die.

I’m not really sure about past Salphys. She was one of the only ones besides Papyrus who managed to get through to Sans on the first run; if only for a brief moment. Could be interesting, especially since Killer doesn’t really seem to think much about her besides the resigned idea that she and everyone else is “inside his head,” (hallucinations) and can kill her and alternates of her no problem—although Stage 1 definitely wouldn’t be able to, although I doubt it’d be enough to trigger Killer into Stage 1 the way a Papyrus can.

And yeah I always thought Killer was unnerved and confused by how Dust can do all that and still see himself as Sans. Killer isn’t Sans, just someone with his face, is how Stage 2/Killer sees himself.

This belief, likely imposed and encouraged on him by Chara and possibly other in the Underground, makes it easier to cope with what he did and still does—to people he used to know and love. Easier to do your job when you aren’t the one they’re begging and pleading to—they just can’t see past the face, and their pointless emotions.

Another reason why i don’t think he’d be comfortable around a Dust that wears Papyrus’ scarf—the same way Chara used to do.

I doubt he’d make it obvious or even fully completely understand why it makes him uncomfortable—he’d probably find a way to rationalize and intellectualize away any emotions brought up by it. Probably say it’s weak to hold on to such useless emotions and keepsakes, which likely wouldn’t go over well with Dust.

Perhaps this is how, if you go with the idea that Dust/Murder insists on keeping his name as Sans, he gets the name Dust/Murder. Because Killer renames him, similar to the way he himself was renamed likely wayback in his AU. Cult like vibes of members encouraging the act of leaving behind your old life, identity and goals in favor of a new one that aligns with the cult and its agenda.

[bunningchaos]

..This was meant to just be a shading test, but it somehow turned out like this.

Anyways, from what I've seen and were told. It's the murderer's birthday, so uh.

Happy birthday to the dusty boi!

Albeit this drawing definitely isn't a good celebration

Dust belongs to Ask-DustTale, on Tumblr!

Swap belongs to Popcorn Pr1nce, on... Uh, where?

Andd, because I felt like it, putting a extra story thingy underneath the cut

This is mainly only for the drawing

Time and time again, the timeline kept on being rewinded back to the start. As if the human whom monopolized the power of 'Determination' had encountered some sort of issue that forced them to go back constantly. Starting all over again, rather than continuing from where the last save point left off.

How unusual, Sans couldn't grasp the situation at all. Even so, this wasn't going to stop him from moving forward with his plans on gathering EXP and LV for himself. All for the sake of hindering the human's progress and to get stronger, much stronger than the vile being that treats every monsters' lives like nothing but toys.

As much as he tries to tell himself, "It's for the better". Guilt still overwhelms him heavily, especially when he land the final blow on his own brother. His one and only precious family member, though that's besides the point. He had to forsake literally everything he knew, his morals, the others that he knew. Even the friends he made from other Universes, having no other choice but to cut contact with them. For the fear of possibly putting them in harm's way just.. didn't feel right.

Not like the current situation was any better! Why?

The current issue, right at this very point, lies in the fact that.. there wasn't any monsters in sight. No matter where he looked, exception for the few that he had managed to dust within Snowdin's town. All of it accumulating to lesser LV than the initial amount he'd normally obtain in the prior resets.

Adding onto the fact that he could barely even get one simple thing done courtesy of the constant reloading and resetting that was ongoing. This in turns, ended up frustrating him more than expected.

Just what the hell is wrong with that thing this time?

Did they finally get bored of dusting monsters and decided to mess with him by screwing with the timeline?

That surely can't be it, right?

Or was it...?

Hell if he knows, pushing aside every single thoughts in his head for the time-being. He made his way towards Waterfall, his slippers damp from the snow, the fluffy fabric making soft 'squish'-like noises with each step that was taken. Disturbing the tranquil silence, where nothing else could be heard other than the subtle noises from the waterfall.

Too peaceful, everything was far too peaceful. In a horrible way, dust could be seen drifting within the air. The atmosphere abnormally tense whilst then temperature dropped to a all-time low, even lower than the snowy region's.

Narrowing his eye sockets, his eye lights glowed dimly. Barely illuminating the darkened surrounding, there having absolutely no light sources other than the occasional echo flowers scattered around randomly. The bright blue glow emitted from those flowers was eye burning, to say the least. Yet it did a pretty good job of lighting up the area, albeit a limited range.

Even so, every single one of those flowers he walked past. All repeated the screams and noises of sheer panic, presumably from the residents of Waterfall. The culprit that caused all those, however, was unidentifiable from just these voice 'recording'. If one can even call it that.

For there isn't a single word nor sound, uttered from the perpetrator.

This definitely wasn't the doing of that disgusting thing, so, who else could it be?

Undyne? No, she isn't the type to harm others. Maybe except the human, after all. Sans did witness her going all out against them multiple times, yet it never succeeded. They were always stronger.. no, they abused their ridiculous ability to reload and kept on trying, when they failed the first few times. Unfortunately, getting the upper hand eventually and finishing off the Captain of the Royal Guard, once they learnt from their mistakes that caused their deaths and losses.

Alphys? Definitely not, she's too much of a coward to even hurt a fly.

Asgore? Yet another no.

So who...?

Unbeknownst to Sans, as he lost himself within his own thoughts. He failed to notice a presence behind him, one that was familiar yet also not anymore.

Within the blink of an eye, Sans was abruptly yanked backwards by a hand grasping tightly onto the bright red scarf that hung around his neck. Startling him right back into reality, his balance being thrown off as he barely managed to keep himself from falling onto his bum. His guard immediately rosed up, however, before he could even react nor do a thing.

A sharp blue bone, was pointed directly at his neck. It was a clear threat, that if he moved even one inch. The culprit wouldn't hesitate to harm him, and knowing of his current stats. He dare not make a move.

For once, in a dreadfully long period of time. He felt fear seep into his body, whoever this was. Is definitely dangerous, even though they didn't give off the same presence as the human.

"..Huh?" Sans uttered under his breath, his eye lights shrinking when he took notice of the all-too-familiar cyan gloves that the other person.. no, monster, was wearing.

It can't be. There's no way, he tried to deter his thoughts away from the numerous possibility that stirred within his mind. Yet it was all for nothing, once the other spoke up

"Found you." The voice was so unsettlingly cold, sending chills running down his spine. His entire body tensing up and freezing in place, he couldn't move. It felt as if his feet were rooted straight into the ground.

Not just fear, but sheer disbelief overtook him entirely. Not at all needing to turn around, to figure out the other's identity. As it was more than obvious, Sans so badly wanted to curl up into a hole and die.

It was Swap, the one other version of himself that resembled his own brother, Papyrus. Especially, being quite righteous and isn't afraid of speaking up plus doing things for the greater good. Due to him wanting to join the Royal Guards, hence having a more, dominating presence and attitude.

So, if that was the case. Why did Sans feel so much bloodlust from him? The one monster that is meant to be.. kind and forgiving, but not naive. At least, not murderous.

"Don't underestimate me, Classic. Did you really think you could cut me off that easily?"

Swap's tone was like a sharp blade, cutting through the tense silence. His entire demeanour had completely changed, there wasn't even a single shred of the once upbeat tone he used to have.

As much as Sans didn't want to cry, his body betrayed him. Bright blue tears welling up within the corner of his eye sockets, this wasn't supposed to happen.

The other skeleton wasn't meant to be here, neither should he be.. this.. malicious. It felt as if this 'Swap' was nothing more than a genocidal freak, with the presence he gave off.

Sans was more than certain he made sure no one else, but himself knew what was going on. He ensured that he left quietly without arising any suspicions.

..Or did Swap just paid too much of a attention to him?

No one could tell at this point, even Sans himself wasn't sure what Swap's intentions even were.

Since his thoughts trailed off, only now piecing together the puzzles of what caused the human to have so much issues.

They were caught up trying to deal with Swap, a completely new and unexpected obstacle.

....

This is going to be troublesome.

[somehhuuuhh]

Some old stuff (drawings, animation, ect)

I'm going to yap about it alot and there's going to alot of old art so yea

(Tw- wounds, slightly suggestive???)

Some Swap outfits 🩵

The one on the left👈, I was thinking about what would swap wear sometimes as a casual outfit and also I was thinking about classiccherryberry (classic x fell x swap). I got the outfit idea from an outfit from Pinterest sadly I deleted the reference so yea sorry

The one on the right 👉, it's him as a mafia. At least I was trying to make him look like a mafia. I got the idea from a classiccherryberry art that they were mafias and it was a ploy thing which I really love. (Sadly I can't find the artwork fr some reason but if I find it I'm going to edit it in) oh and in that artwork Swap had this tattoo on he's arm and I was trying to do in my art but it looks like crap...

Sans undertale drawings :D

On the left 👈 again me thinking of classiccherryberry but i was also thinking of another outfit that he could wear with his boyfriends and OF COURSE I HAVE TO MAKE HIM CHUBBY!!! Like look at him you can not tell me that he gives the best hugs ever >:T

On the right 👉 I was just experimenting on my artstyle after seeing a TikTok video where they use a cartoon artstyle and they use dots as eyes and I thought it was pretty cute. You can clearly see that it didn't work out for me but still a cute artstyle

Some random headshots

There's not much to say they just random drawings of some characters

For the lust one I was just trying to find a design to them. I love to think they wear lipstick even though they don't have lips. They are just silly like that

For the Horror drawing....um is he scary? I tried to make him scary I think

Blueberror!!! Man i love that dude. I should draw him more...

Passive Nightmare is just so sad so I drew him beaten up and sad. Gosh this dude needs a break, he just six!!! For the love of God. If anybody hurt him I'm start my villain arc

I redrew this one frame from the original comic of Horrortale and it was Horror Papyrus. I like the horror Papyrus he needs more love

🐈Cat break🐈

(=^･ω･^=)

I love cats :3

.

.

.

I also love Inkmare :D

I keep seeing inkmare as yuri and it's adorable so I wanted to doodle them. I didn't really have an idea but I thought why not have Ink annoyed Nightmare. Ink is touching Nightmare boob's to annoyed her :D

Nightmare will probably beat up ink and then make out ʕ ◕ᴥ◕ ʔ

Yay a random animation

This animation that I will never finish. It was supposed to a animation meme where my sonq and my ocd with a Gravity Falls audio behind. Idk I just lost the movation to finish it

A dusttale comic kinda

For some reason I didn't give him any dislodge. Just pretend he's saying the most insane thing from a broken man OKAY. Idk why I didn't add anything, ig I couldn't figure out what would he say to Napstablook

So like the idea of this comic is that Napstablook is probably the only one that's alive because he's a ghost and stuff. This where dust finally defeated the human where they won't come back. Eventually Napstablook will notice that everyone is gone, they will wander around trying to find someone until they find Sans. I like to think that before Sans committed Genocide they at least know each. Napstablook was somewhat happy but still knew some was up especially since Sans being covered in dust.

Dust of course attack them but it isn't very effective cuz he's a ghost. Napstablook didn't really want to attack Sans, he's makes music not a fighter. So he give Sans mercy until Sans give mercy back and have mental breakdown...yay good ending kinda

For a bad ending Napstablook fight back and Sans gets very injured and Nightmare just comes out of nowhere and take Sans soooooo good ending for Sans just bad ending for Napstablook because they all alone.....so yea sad

[triglycercule]

idea. since askdusttale answered an ask about where dust got his determination from (because dust has SOME determination just so he can remember the timelines and keep going against the human) and said it was totally up to personal interpretation on how he got his determination. so so so like what if what if dusttale's player did something similar to something new's player and changed dust's code to give him determination??? so dust and killer COULD BOTH had their codes tampered with??? the parallels would be INSANE. they both started off as sans and got their codes tampered with by the player but dust and killer went on two opposite paths. dust out of his own voalition decided to go against the human but killer had to team up with the human no choice at all. the opposite parallels go CRAZY oh god im tweaking

killer doesn't know exactly (since i forgot whether or not he can see codes or something like that. i swear there was an image of him describing fell and swap's code and then his own) but he can SENSE that something's off. something's different about dust that he doesn't quite know about. maybe it gets him to ask a bunch of questions that dust is definitely not open to answering because jesus man mind your own damn business but the question that really sets killer off is the way dust answers when he asks "so if you have determination then how did you get it?" and dust just shrugs his shoulders and said that one day he suddenly remembered the resets and then that's when he got it (and then goes back to mumbling to phantom paps or wtvr) and killer's just like. zomg. a sudden change in behavior or mentality that seemingly has no apparent reason related to the human???? like like like when he suddenly had to agree with the player despite literally never wanting to????? killer is over thinking the implications behind this

meanwhile dust is just annoyed now because killer keeps on following him. he keeps asking him strange questions. wtf why is the guy asking to see his SOUL that's incredibly personal???? he just wants to be left alone man he has no idea what's going on

[dseval]

What are your thoughts of CrossDust? What dynamic you think they have?

Permission to yap about CrossDust??

Short answer: funny i like both of them they should kiss

...Long yapping ahead (there's yapping about my Murder Sans interpretation, then there's also CrossDust. It's long.)

I'd like to first clarify that my interpretation of Dust may be different compared to many (I think, at least). Since I base his character on the canon information from Ask-Dusttale and fangames— particularly Evan Streblow's Dusttale (if you don't know, it's the one with the psychotic HAHAHAHAHAHAHA and "We're gonna have a MAD time!")

I also slot in some headcanons (and self-projections, can't help it) and some character adjustments because I think canon Murder is extremely difficult to work with, especially in the context of shipping and anything else this fandom does with him in general.

But just the gist of it so you all don't have to read that much (I can go on for ten more paragraphs. I'm obsessed with this guy):

I'll use the names Murder and Dust interchangeably and within different contexts. I like to think Murder is a front that Dust puts on— an apathetic murderer who finds emotions difficult to feel, someone who always lies to get his way, a sociopath. While Dust is quiet, honest, and more contemplative. It's mostly Murder who interacts with others.

Murder and Dust aren't necessarily two different people. Ultimately, Dust directly influences Murder's choices, and Murder may disappear one day once Dust feels content.

His hallucinations aren't only Papyrus, he also hallucinates about others although Papyrus is the most often. And these hallucinations speak different things according to the state he's in. Murder's hallucinations would encourage him to hurt more. While Dust's would induce guilt.

Murder is a very focused person, not afraid to take the lead, and he hates it when nothing happens. Dust on the other hand is content just doing nothing.

Murder finds love absurd. Dust too, but he entertains the thought of it.

Murder and Dust both think words are silly, insincere, and can change meanings, so they are more action-oriented.

He's demisexual. That's a headcanon.

And if anyone has any different interpretation of Murder/Dust Sans, that is absolutely okay and amazing. Dusttale is a very hard AU to actually get into (all the informations are scattered). Plus, there is nothing wrong with fanon. I think it's great, I like fanon. I sometimes like fanon more than canon.

Now CrossDust.

For their general dynamic, I think it's very difficult for them to get together. They just go back and forth between something and nothing. They have like... The slowest of slow burns.

I'd like to implement the entire Underverse thing. Remember how Cross stole Classic's soul? Apparently, Sanses across different alternate timelines can share a memory. So Geno knows Cross stole 'his' soul. Killer also acknowledges this and says to XChara that they stole 'his' soul.

So technically to Murder/Dust— Cross also had stolen 'his' soul (And Murder would've had felt all Cross's pain while at it, too). I think Murder would find it hilarious that Cross brought literally every single innocent AU into his problem. Dust would feel like Cross's plans are ridiculous, but since it's XChara's plan, and XChara is the human, Dust wouldn't even question it.

In a way, they share SOULs once, even if indirectly. Murder/Dust knows probably a lot about Cross. But Cross didn't know who the hell this guy is. Either way, with that in mind. Murder probably didn't have a good first impression of Cross. Dust might empathize with him, since Cross also committed a genocide in order to 'make things better' which is also Dust's reasoning. Cross might learn about Murder's actions later— but cannot judge Murder/Dust for it.

They are very similar. Kindred souls in a way. They went through similar struggles but they turned out to be completely different people. Because Cross in his entire life is under control, while Murder acts on choice. Because Cross knows what he did is horrible and he'll carry that sin to the grave, while Murder justifies his actions.

Cross is too trusting (he doesn't trust easily now), too seeking for approval, he doesn't know what to do if no one orders him. Murder thinks he himself is enough, Murder thinks he is the hero, he doesn't need anyone else.

Cross thinks Murder is a bad person, an absolute jerk. Murder likes to toy with him, probably also uses Cross to his advantage. Murder can either try to hurt Cross, or will try to win his favour. But can Cross judge him? Not really, hell, I don't think Cross even noticed if Murder did manipulate him. Low-key toxic these two.

But then there's the private moments, the intimate moments where Dust shed the front that is Murder. Where Dust is sincere; he doesn't talk, but the way he gazes and acts towards Cross is honest. And although reluctant, maybe Cross desires to bring that side out of him more.

It's both difficult for them to trust. But eventually Dust will learn that Cross cannot lie— Dust will trust words again. Eventually Cross realizes that he's not the only one hurt, and he can find a home in others, he can choose to find a home.

Cross will find it frustrating how Dust shuts himself down. Dust would find it frustrating how hard Cross tries for him. But eventually, Dust would learn to no longer front himself up with Murder. Cross would need a signal from Dust that what he's doing is okay and perfect before they can advance further.

They'll care about one another.

Eventually, they'll trust each other.

In a relationship sense where they're both happy and recovered, though. I think both of them like cuddling. Dust still had a hard time with words, but he knows how much it means for Cross to have words of affirmations, so he would praise Cross a lot. Cross knows Dust is as restless as he is, so he makes sure they both have a full schedule with a lot of things to do.

All in all, they're comfortable with each other. And that's enough, really.

(i almost yapped for ten more paragraphs but I think this is enough for now sksksksk)

[vibeless15]

Could you tell me more about dusttale+ And dusttale- , I'm just wondering how they differ.

You have a very cool style

So to answer the Obvious question.

Who is D+ and Who is D-

Dust+/Damian

Everyone should know who D+ is and if you don't, then I'll be sure to put the link below to his respective wiki page(D- Will also be getting a Wiki page too).

Link -> -> ->

D+ is different than D- in a lot of ways, one of them being though. That unlike his shadow, he is completely physical and is known throughout the multiverse. D+ unlike D- dosent lust for more DT or LV either.

However, everyone knows a ton of the Dust Demon himself, but we all know nothing of his shadow.

Dust-

D- unlike D+, isn't a physical entity, infact he's entirely psychological and acts as D+'s personal demon that torments him and teases him on his weakness of rejecting DT.

Unlike D+ who has abandoned all common and uncommon tropes of Dust Aus around the Multiverse, D- embodies the Dust archetype and plays into it entirely while also embodying the trickster too.

As he has tricked D+ many times, forcing him or luring him down the wrong path.

Unlike Phantom!Papyrus, D- cares nothing for D+ and only desires to see him carry out being the best and possibly strongest Dust. D+ constantly fights back aginst D-'s constant tricks, influencing and manipulation. As if the two parts of D+ were to become one again. It would be scorched earth for the entire Multiverse, maybe even the Omniverse.

Some facts on D-

Unlike Alpha, D- cannot appear to anybody nor can be heard or seen. He can't even interact with others too. However if enough DT is around then D- can manifest as a hallucination or if D+ is in enough of a frenzy, can take over his body(Which would require a lot of mental strength. The act usually putting D- out for months of not a year.)

D- dosent have a name, its just D-

D- can manipulate small things in the world, like moving a small object or turning something on, but thats about it.

D- has no HP, unlike D+ D- suffers from no fatigue and never gers tired. This can also correlate to him as a physical entity.

A theory about D- that D+ once told Killer.JPG, is that he believes that D- might actually be his subconscious. That its everything he thinks about and yet never acts on.

[fairy-verse]

No pressure to answer if you don’t want, I’m only asking because my autistic self is really bad at implications T,T

Is fairyverse a Dreammare au? I only found this blog yesterday sorry

(and I mean no disrespect btw I just can’t tell LOL)

-🔆

No need to worry, it’s always okay to ask if you’re confused or curious. Fairyverse is a universe where every undertale related (that includes the different AU’s, dreamtale, underfell, dusttale, etc.) character is a fairy of some kind. Everyone can make their favourite UTMV character a fairy here, basically.

I am mainly writing about the ones I like the most, such as Nightmare, Cross, Dust, Dream, Horror, etc. and Lunnar makes fairy designs for them so that we can see how lovely they are as fairies.

There is a canon story for every fairy, but I like to indulge in different ideas, too, so everyone is free to ask about different scenarios that aren’t going to take place in the canon story, such as “What would this fairy and this fairy be like together”.

I’m not really the best at explaining, but this AU was created for the sole purpose of me being in love with the idea of my favourite utmv characters being fairies, and I wanted everyone else to have fun with it, too. It’s meant to be a cosy place with wonderful fantasy aspects, whimsical adventures, dangerous travels, and just all on good fun.

I hope I managed to shed some light on what this universe is all about, but my pinned post should explain some things, and then there are all the other Asks and Posts you can read here, too. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, then you are free to ask me!

Living the Dream: Chapter Three

@runaway-dream-au

@bored-animator (Here is Chapter three ;3)

(("Dream is an angel."

Maria's comment only helped Lily dive into the question that's been burning her brain since she heard what her mama said about Dream being an empath.

"Would you be able to remove bad things from a sleeping person?"

Okay everyone! You get a little look at the doctor!

Also, Blue and Ink are out on the hunt for their friend! Sh! Don't let Nightmare know! (Who knows what he'll do to the Multiverse..)

Characters and their Creators: Killer Sans: Rahafwabas Dust Sans: Ask-Dusttale Horror Sans: Sour-Apple-Studios Nightmare Sans: Jokublog XTale Sans(Cross): Jael Peñaloza/Jakei

Ink Sans: Comyet Underswap Sans (Blue) and Underswap Papyrus (Stretch): popcornpr1nce Dream Sans: Jokublog Fresh Sans : Crayon Queen Core!Frisk: DokuDoki))

Dream was nowhere to be found. 

Ink and Blue traveled to all the AU’s they knew Dream liked to go when he wanted to be alone; and well, he wasn’t anywhere. There was no sign of him or his positivity, and many monsters and humans confirmed that they hadn’t seen Dream for a while. 

Core!Frisk explained to everyone that it was important to keep Dream’s absence a secret for now, until they could figure out where Dream went or until he came back. It would be no good for the Multiverse to know that one of the strongest Guardians was missing. Not to mention what would happen if Nightmare found out… 

Blue stepped into Dream’s quiet and dark home, trying not to let the absence of his positive aura shake him as he started to search the house. As Core!Frisk said, Dream had left his weapon, crown, and cape behind. They laid out on his bed, having already collected a little covering of dust. Blue’s soul twisted in worry as he reached down to pick up the crown and very gently wiped away the dust from it, letting the gold circlet shine. It felt cold in his grasp when he held it. 

“Dream,” Blue whispered into the empty room. “Where have you gone, friend?” 

Stuffing Dream’s belongings into his Inventory, Blue turns away from the empty room and leaves the house. He had a Guardian to look for. 

-

“You can’t be serious, Blue.” Stretch, Blue’s baby brother huffed in disbelief. “I am very serious, Paps!” Blue exclaimed, his grin wide and cheerful despite the gnawing worry in his soul. “Dream has done so much for us! He would never abandon us in our time of need, so I will not either!” 

Stretch worries for his brother, where he’s going, Stretch isn’t sure he could follow. “Bro,” He begins, ready to talk him out of this dangerous plan of his to search the Multiverse for Dream. However, he caught a flash of something in Blue’s eye lights that made Stretch freeze. 

Sans is worried for his friend, and thinks the worse has happened.

Sighing once more as Blue turns to look at his brother, Stretch gives in a little. His shoulders slump and he looks so worried, but, “Be careful, okay?” With his brother’s acceptance of this very important mission, Blue grins wider and he strikes his normal heroic pose. “Of course, Paps! I always am!” 

He turns back to his belongings, and finishes stuffing anything important into his inventory. The sound of something wet splashing onto the ground startled both brothers, both glancing over to the wet inky spot on the ground as Ink slips from his portal. His grin was wide and excited. Another adventure with one of his best friends! 

Hm, I wonder where Dream was . Ink ponders, having already forgotten that their mission was to find exactly where Dream had wandered off to. “Ink! Right on time! I’m ready to go!” Blue tells him with his big grin. Another sigh leaves Stretch, he really hopes that Blue will be okay. He definitely will have to have a talk with Dream when he comes home. 

Blue and Ink wave to Stretch before they disappear into the inky black portal that Ink had summoned, it soon disappearing after their departure. 

-

Dream stood at Maria’s doorstep feeling rather nervous. He pressed the doorbell, hearing it chime inside the small home, and he waited. In his hand was a warm disposable pan of banana bread he baked for dinner tonight. Even though he was comfortable around Maria and her children, he was nervous. This was her home, he was invited to step into her private space. He was worried he might screw this dinner night over. What if his positivity made them so friendly and trusting? 

What if this was fake and he accidentally poisoned them with his positive aura -

The door opened suddenly, pulling Dream from his anxious thoughts. He startled with a small jolt and was quick to smile weakly. Kai answered the door, his smile warm as he invited Dream inside. “Come on in, Dream.” The Guardian relaxed when he felt Kai’s calm and friendly aura and he stepped inside. After shutting the door behind him, Kai led Dream further into the home and to the kitchen, where he pointed where to place the pan of bread. 

“It’s banana bread,” Dream began as he set it down on the countertop, just as Maria stepped closer to place a freshly baked casserole beside the banana bread. “I-It was the only thing I could think of to bring.” Maria smiled warmly at Dream. “Thank you, Dream. But, you didn’t have to bake anything for tonight.” Dream’s smile widened a bit more, the nervousness fading at how warm and nice Maria’s aura felt. It fed his soul and he knew if this kept up, he wouldn’t eat too much of their food. “Think of it as a “thank you” gift for helping me get comfortable here, Maria.” The older woman laughed brightly, her laugh beautiful and light. Her positive aura brightened more and Dream felt more at ease. “Well then, thank you again, Dream. I appreciate this- Lily will be very happy. She loves banana bread. At least now, I don’t have to bake any for a little while longer.” 

“Oh?” Dream chuckled, happy to have helped Maria a little by bringing his treat over. “And, where is Lily? Will Felix be joining as well?” He asks, and Maria nods as she works on the finishing touches on her casserole. “He will be joining us, yes. They went to visit Norah, and should be home soon.” 

“I see.” Dream hums. He wonders how their visit went, but he didn’t want to ask in case it was a sensitive topic. This dinner was meant to be enjoyed. With how warm and inviting everything felt in Maria’s home, he didn’t want to be the one to ruin it all by asking about such a depressing topic. “Maria,” He jumped from his place and moved to help carry the dishes to the dining table. “Let me help you!” Marie smiled, “You’re the guest tonight, Dream-” He was quick to shake his head and carefully took the casserole dish from her hands. “I insist! It’s not too troublesome.” 

As Dream was setting the casserole dish down on the table, he found Kai finishing setting the table. It wasn’t a fancy set up, just a simple plate, butter knife, spoon, and fork. The glasses were placed at each setting, with a pitcher of iced water in the middle. Dream felt his soul warm at the sight, it reminded him of all the times he was invited to dinners after helping save a Universe. He felt a little guilty when he had decided he had liked Mrs. Bun’s dinner was better than most when it was all vegetables. 

“This all looks so lovely, Kai.” Dream gushed, his smile bright and warm, like the sun ; it surprised Kai for a moment as he looked at Dream with slightly wide eyes before he relaxed and smiled, laughing softly. “It’s nothing really. Just a simple dinner set up.” Dream shook his head no, his smile still in place. “It’s not just nothing . It has a warm and comfortable look to it. It’s inviting.” 

Kai was surprised once more, but this time he didn’t show it. He simply grinned and glanced towards his mother when she entered the dining room with the last of the food. “He really is an empath, huh?” Maria laughed softly and nodded. “Yes, he’s almost like an angel!” This comment had Dream blushing and he was about to deny being an angel when their last two guests arrived.

“Who’s an angel?” Felix asked, Lily following up with; “It can’t be Kai. The little snake!” She laughed when Kai flipped her off, immediately proving her point. Dream’s “Oh my!” was lost when Maria snapped her fingers at Kai and warned her children to behave. “You’re adults, I don’t have to do this with you!” She wasn’t truly upset, Dream could tell by her small smile and the way her soul warmed at the silly sibling rivalry. 

Lily walked up to her step mama and pressed a loving kiss to her cheek. “Sorry, mom.” She apologized before finding her seat. Felix was next to pressing a kiss to Maria’s cheek in greeting before following after his fiance. “Have a seat, Dream.” Maria instructed him sweetly, and he did as he was told, finding a seat at the end of the table. On his left was Felix, and on his right was Maria. On Felix’s other side was Lily, and across from her, on the other side of Maria was Kai. Here, Dream was able to face everyone. He couldn’t help but to study each and every family member, his smile widening at how positively happy they were. 

“So, who’s an angel?” Felix repeated his question after Maria said a little prayer before they ate. (It was a strange prayer, one Dream hadn’t heard before.) Felix reached for a hot roll first and began to tear it open before spreading butter on it. “Dream.” Kai said and gestured towards the skeleton monster with an easy smile. He went directly for the casserole first, his eyes wide with excitement and hunger. It was clearly a favorite meal of his. “Oh-” Dream blushed as he retracted his hand from grabbing a roll as well. He waited for the casserole to be passed around. 

“Dream is an empath, and he glows like an angel.” Maria explained why she chose to compare him to an angel. He was bright, and warm, and just so kind. “Are you an angel?” Lily asked, looking a little confused. Kai choked on his food as he found it hard not to laugh at her naivety and Felix grinned and shook his head. “It’s a saying, love.” Felix explained to his fiance. Her face flooded with her red blush and she waved her butter knife at Kai. “I know that!” Kai raised his hands, pulling away as if Lily was actually going to hurt him. She wasn’t . “Hey, why are you pointing that at me ?!” She jabbed the knife in his direction and narrowed her eyes at him and said with her lips puffed out; “ You laughed !” 

Maria shook her head at their playfulness and she cleared her throat to get them to settle. “Please, we have a guest here tonight, you two.” She was embarrassed- they were grown adults! She shouldn’t have to tell them this! ( Even though this wasn’t unusual. Every dinner together, Lily and Kai always playfully bickered .) “It’s quite alright, Maria.” Dream laughed softly. “They’re just having fun.” Still, Maria sighed and shook her head once more.

Lily placed her butter knife back down after fixing up her roll and she took a bite out of the tasty buttered bread. “So,” She said with her mouthful, but waited till she swallowed the bite to continue. “You’re an empath, Dream?” Maria sent a small warning glare to Lily before glancing at Dream in worry, she didn’t want this dinner to be uncomfortable for him.  Dream smiled kindly and nodded. “I am. I’ve been told by many others that I glow. But, I assure you, I’m nothing like an angel.” 

“So, I take it that when you feel happy feelings, you glow?” Lily continued to ask and Dream was still happy to answer her question with a nod. “Can you remove bad things from people, then?” She asked next. “Lily, please. Let’s just enjoy our dinner first before you start questioning him.” Dream calmed Maria’s worries, “It’s alright, Maria. I don’t mind. She’s just curious.” He explained before he told her what he could do, that yes , he could help remove things such as negativity from someone. But, it wasn’t permanent. 

Which was the reason he was always having to fight his brother when he came around and replaced the positive feelings with his negative ones . 

“Would you be able to remove bad things from a sleeping person?” 

Lily’s next question had everyone’s happy mood fall, where the tension began to grow. They all knew what she was meaning when she asked that. Felix froze in his seat as he tossed her question around in his head before looking at Dream with a heart breaking, hopeful look. Dream felt his soul tightened and he gently placed his cutlery down on the table and politely wiped his mouth with his napkin before he answered her.  

“I… Have never done something like that before. Everyone I’ve helped has always been awake…” He answered slowly, and it made his soul twist uncomfortably when he watched Felix’s hopeful look fade into disappointment and upset. “But,” He added softly, already knowing what Lily’s idea was. He glanced around the table at everyone, seeing how hopeful and scared they were. Their friend… Felix’s sister was hurting and nothing was helping.

Dream… 

I can’t save my brother.

I can’t save the Multiverse.

But, I can try to save this one person. 

Because, maybe…

Maybe this was why Dream fled his home.

This part of the Multiverse hasn’t been touched by himself or his brother, he could tell. There were no traces of his brother’s negativity. 

But there was something here that was causing harm to Norah.

Dream raised his ethereal golden eyes to give a focused look of determination to the family. His soul flared to life as he felt a little bit of his confidence slowly come back. This family depended on him, and he wasn’t one to turn away from a cry for help.  “But, I can try. For you all. For Norah.” 

It was silent around the table. Many were fighting tears, Maria wasn’t so lucky in her fight as a few stray tears slipped down her cheeks. Felix blinked his tears away, he was quiet, and unsure how to respond. After several months of his sister being asleep… After months of that stupid doctor being at her side and doing nothing … “Dream,” Maria said softly, breaking the silence. He turned to study her distressed expression. She wanted to remain hopeful, to have faith that Dream could help. But… “You don’t have to do this, you know.” Dream’s soul twisted with pain at her tone, so broken and sad. “I know.” He said gently. “But, I want to. I want to try .” 

After all, why else was he pulled here, to this specific AU?

-

After planting a seed of hope in their hearts, Dream was able to pull everyone out of the sadness that had settled around them. He easily pulled them into a more happier subject where he had talked about some of the fun he and his friends had. It helped the others fall back into the comfortable and warm feeling he had walked into earlier that evening. Kai and Lily bickered once more and almost started a food fight. In the end, Maria put them both on dish duty after dinner. 

Once everything was cleaned up, they dug into Dream’s delicious banana bread, filled with caring intent. Lily threatened to eat the entire loaf, Maria sliced the pieces evenly afterwards and thanked Dream for bringing the delicious treat over. 

Before he left their home, he promised that next time they go to see Norah, he would accompany them. He would check her over and go from there. He felt Felix’s soul cry, he was having a hard time believing Dream, but he held so hard onto that little seed of hope Dream planted it almost made Dream cry.  

He bid everyone a good night before he slipped out the door and started down the street- he was offered a ride home, but he shook his head and and said he didn’t mind walking. It was a beautiful night out, the sky was clear and the stars you could see were twinkling above. He felt confidence boost his soul as he replayed the night’s events. Before he moved here, he had lost hope at saving the one he cared so deeply for. He lost hope that he couldn’t save anyone . But, with this small family… With the way they looked at him with such heartache and broken hope… He felt the confidence squeeze his soul and he smiled. It was like breathing in fresh air. It was like a new beginning. 

Yes, this time… This time he could do it. He will save Norah!  

With a pep in his step, Dream made his way home and began his routine for bed.

—-

She could hear them. 

Felix.

He was angry again. 

At the doctor. 

No, no. He wasn’t a doctor- Felix! Felix he’s-

She couldn’t warn him. That doctor- he wasn’t human. He was only pretending . He was sucking the life out of her-

A tear slipped past her closed eyelid as she laid limp in her hospital bed, listening to Felix yelling at the doctor to do better or to get lost. He almost had to be dragged out. 

Lily was there to calm him. Thank the stars for Lily. 

Please, take care of him, Lily. Don’t let him do anything that would harm him. 

She cried. Silently. 

And when Felix and Lily left to go have dinner with Lily’s mother… She was left alone with the doctor. With that… Monster . He fed off of her sadness. He fed off of her happiness as well. 

What are you?

A strange, slimy(?) hand caressed her face, wiping away her tears. She was able to scrunch her face and slowly, oh so slowly, she opened her eyes to look blearily at the monster at her bedside. His grin was wide and sinister, his eye? Eyes? They glowed and it hurt her aching eyes. She had to close them as he drew in closer, his voice sounding distorted. 

“ No one is going to save you, Little Norah ~” He laughed, it echoing in her mind as she felt herself fall under his spell once more. 

—-

Screams for help echoed in his mind. 

A sinister laughter followed and swallowed those screams. 

What happened- they were so happy a moment ago. Who… Who was haunting their dreams? 

“Please,” She cried, sitting naked and afraid in front of Dream. Her long brown hair fell over her shoulders, covering her naked chest. Dream studied her, startled and afraid for her. He could hear her soft cries of hurt and fear. Her soul was cracking. All around them was nothing but the darkest black. It felt like it was moving, threatening to swallow them both whole if they stayed there too long. 

She slowly raised her head and those tears stained her cheeks as she looked up at him with beautifully round brown eyes full of pain.  “Please,” She repeated again in a sob. “Help me.” 

-

Dream woke from his dream? Vision? He didn’t know, but he lay there in bed, reflecting on what he saw. Was… Was that Norah? It had to be, right? The amount of pain and fear that was coming from her hurt him. 

Slowly, Dream sat up and moved to hang his legs of the edge of his bed. He reached up to rub his hand over his face, feeling exhausted. His golden eyes that glowed in the darkness around him shifted to look at the time; it was only three in the morning. He would be getting up in a few hours for work… He didn’t think he could sleep anymore after what he saw, what he felt. 

With a sigh, Dream stood from his bed, tossing away the covers that seemed to try and pull him back into bed and he made his way into the bathroom to take a shower. To wash away the sweat that gathered on his bones. To try and wash away the strange ominous feeling that suddenly gripped at his soul. 

“It’s going to be a long day.” He sighed softly to himself as he stripped from his pajamas and stepped into the warm shower. He couldn’t get the image of that woman out of his head. He knew exactly who that was. 

It was Norah . 

Her happiness had guided him to her consciousness. She was dreaming, but when he got to her everything changed and she grew afraid. Dream didn’t know what was happening to her, but the vision didn’t deter him from going to help her. He owed this family that, after everything they have done for him.

He closed his eyes and he let the water cascade down his body, and already he started to feel a little better. He couldn’t help anyone if he had negativity in his own soul. Being around Maria and her children will help him through the day, he was sure of it. He needed all the positivity as he could possibly get. A strange feeling deep inside his soul told him that he was about to face something unknown and troublesome. 

Dream opened his eyes and narrowed his gaze into a determined look. He was confident he could do this. He could save Norah. 

Just hold on a little longer, Norah. I’m coming.

Any idea of who the doc really is?
