#it wasnt a dream it was a nightmare

[leaskisses444]

i had a dream last night that on the first day of school (tommorow) our chem teacher gave us a test

[one-time-i-dreamt]

There was this massive scale farmer (like a cardboard cutout??) that would pop out of trees and wave at you. If you looked at him for too long, he would shrink to normal size, come running, and attack you with a knife. (There were also eyeless Ankylosaurus with teeth.)

your fridge-build , original-red-and-purple-oufit magneto showed up in my dream yesterday and i was so unprepared it woke me up

reading this made me cackle for like a solid minute gjAELKGJAK he just wanted to say hi ....

leaving you with a fridge-magnet-sized magneto. so hopefully he can say hi again but less intimidatingly

Well now I wanna know about the scary mii dream

a few but the funniest one was when i was at a zoo (?) and drake was there to announce a new album called "green mario" and i made fun of him because he sucks and then an unsettling mii appeared and picked me up and slowly crushed my ribcage in painful, excruciating detail and i woke up shaking in terror

Piggybacking off something you said during your last stream, I also had a dream where the welcome home site updated and it was super messed up

I can’t remember the exact details but I do remember Barnaby was the focus, like there was a secret page about him and it played it off like Barnaby was some deranged maniac-

Just something I remembered after hearing you also had a creepy dream

it's comforting to know im not the only one subconsciously scared of such Things

had a dream in which fitzjames was my adult son and he was dying so we were in an ambulance and the paramedics were crozier hickey and jopson and crozier kept committing worse and worse medical malpractices and the worst part was that the other three just got hornier and hornier about it until i asked them to just let me off and the rest of the dream was just me walking around my hometown listening to the distant siren.

[wisteria-whump]

i love when whumpees have nightmares that are so vivid and feel so long and real that when they wake up they can't help but just lay in their bed feeling the huge amounts of relief that none of it was real

More Nightmare and Dream head cannons!! This came on from some readaloud of reddit, twitter, or tumblr about how theres always been a 'kids these days are so lazy on their phones!' Nightmare lives in the castle & Dream lives with the Star Sans (Dream is undetermined-aged child again, somewhere between 6-10yrs, bc I love when they're siblings that Dream is super young) (Also I give Nightmare fae/faer, Ink they/them, Dream he/him, & Killer zey/zem mostly bc I get all confused with pronouns) (Also sorry for bad Spanish, its a poor attempt with google translate)

Oneshot fic head canons below!

Ink was worried, like really fucking worried, Killer handed Dream a box during the last mission and it was filled with animal bones. Dream looked excited, and had been rolling them about the floor for hours. Ink didn't actually know what Dream was doing, but atleast he looked happy. It was still super creepy to give a kid a box of animal bones, felt like a threat.

During the next mission Dream was given a creepy doll, a different time more sheep ankle bones, a wooden dollhouse, some wooden figures of animals and some vaguely royal characters, two skeletons and a tree-person. Dream was starting to think Nightmare and his crew were very kind, which was not a good thing, the gang was tricking him with weird gifts!

During a mission one day Nightmare was reading a book while faer lackeys attacked people and recked havoc. Dream was not happy, walking right up to Nightmare, pointing vaguely at fae, or maybe faer book. "¡Con razón tienes tan pocos amigos! ¡Siempre estás leyendo! ¡Nunca hables con la gente!" (No wonder you have so few friends! You're always reading! Never talking to people!) Dream shouts, Nightmare clearly taken off guard by his accusation.

"La gente no habla con los demás desde que tenemos libros, o incluso escribimos, no es mi culpa que no pueda disociarme a voluntad." (People haven't been talking to others longer than we've had books, or even writing, it's not my fault I cant dissasociate at will,) Nightmare retorts, slightly off put and argumentative, but not outright hostile.

Dream states up at Nightmare for a moment before murmuring, "¿Disociarme?" (Disassociate?) He questions, not remembering that word or it's meaning.

"Disociar, como soñar despierto o distraerse," (Disassociate, like daydreaming, or zoning out,) fae replies easily, not bothered by answering what a word means, even if Dream was a little punk.

Dream mulled over the definition before straightening up and glaring up at Nightmare, a little kid glaring up at the multiversal terrorist Nightmare, was hilarious, and a little concerning. "No hay excusa, sé que eres malvado, pero deberías ayudar a tus amigos, ¡incluso si ellos también son malvados!" (No excuse, I know you're evil, but you should be helping your friends, even if they're also evil!)

Nightmare bursts out laughing, softly patting Dream's head with a tentacle, gently muttering, "Eres tan pequeña y linda, pero tan enojada," (You're so tiny and cute, yet so angry,) it was pretty infantilising, but Dream was a little kid.

At some point Ink noticed the conversation and they moved take Dream and retreat, not entirely understanding what happened between the two but not liking the fact Nightmare was laughing. Dream ended up managing to tell Ink that Nightmare had so few 'friends' because fae wouldn't stop reading, and that was pretty amusing to hear.

Later when Nightmare was in his office, reading the book fae's been obsessed with for the last two days, Killer walked in, eyes twinkling as zey eyed down Nightmare. "Soo~ What's your little plan with little Dreamy~? Heard him call you friendless, surely that wont stand!~" Zey ask, clearly curious as they plop down on the arm rest of Nightmare's chair.

"The little twerp has been saying that since we've known other people," Nightmare huffs, pushing zem off their chair with little regard. Killer always thought it was so funny to tease about Nightmare's relationship with Dream, enjoying the two's little sibling rivalry, especially with Nightmare being super fucking old, and Dream being so young, you couldn't find two people like that fight in any other situation!

i had a dream last night that on the first day of school (tommorow) our chem teacher gave us a test

It's actually really appropriate that bsd happened to me because I learned about the Sengoku period of Japan from Samurai Warriors. I was moé Oichi in the very first dream in which I exercised volitional control over the dream narrative and environment.

new sleep meds are great but now instead of nightmares or normal high-school related stress dreams at 26 I'm experiencing stressful situations I could have never concocted in my waking hours such as losing my cat in an endless hotel only to find him in the middle of a furry convention where all of my exes were attending and when I tried to leave I learned, to my horror, we were in fact on a month long cruise that departed several hours earlier

Obviously you can answer this privately if you'd like, could you potentially send me the links about the reason for Joku's design change for Dream that you mentioned in a previous ask? I tried going through Joku's archive and all I found was the OG design and the new one, with 0 explanation for why there was a change. I'd appreciate it, but I understand if you're not comfortable, have a good day!

i don't actually know why dream's design changed! i don't think there is one either :p

it kinda. just happened? announced one day?

i was in the fandom but i wasn't really paying attention (mostly focused on current au interests at the time, my own stuff) so if there really was a reason his design changed, anyone can come correct me!

but afaik i don't really think there was a reason the redesign happened, it just did, really

Thinking about how Lucien wasn't able to sleep for months and months. How night after night, he kept trying to find respite, but the Somnovem never once let him rest. "Oh! You thought you were free! That's pretty cute. That's hilarious, actually...No, you're the Nonagon. That's forever. That lasts well beyond death, my friend."

Molly/Lucien being a dreamer in every life. A romantic. Lucien clinging to the fantasy that, "Once upon a time, there was a happy family." Molly watching all his dreams turn to nightmares of a screaming city, watching him slowly slip away from everything he knew and loved. "You don't dream of her anymore." "No, I only dream of them now."

And then when Molly is finally reborn, when finally he has the chance to sleep, he dreams so deep and vividly. He doesn't even wake until Jester casts Greater Restoration on him, and when she does, he bolts awake still reeling from what he'd seen. Like he's still lost in a dream--a lovely, happy dream.

"Oh...I was having the nicest dream...There was. Oh. There was a circus. And--ah, and this beautiful woman, in a--a red coat. And she was telling me secrets, showing me how to keep secrets. I...And oh, there was a--that sad angel, and--and there were adventures, and I was...we went everywhere, and saw..."

When Caleb asks, "What's your name?" he can't even answer at first, because he's still lingering on the warm memory of a distant dream. "I felt--I felt kingly. I felt very regal. Kingly...Sorry, what?" He sounds like he's still drifting in the memory of it. Like he regrets it when everything starts to slip through his fingertips in the light of day. "These faces aren't meaning anything...They're already fading...Is that me...?"

His first sleep since Lucien took the body, his first dream since Molly closed his eyes for the last time. And at the very least, it's a lovely dream. (It also breaks my heart that Kingsley dreams of Lestera that first night, just like how Lucien used to dream of Brevyn before the Somnovem.) But it seems Kingsley doesn't often have that luxury:

"Every now and then, your mind occasionally begins to recall memories through an occasional nightmare. Flashes of blurred memory, and time spent locked with another--familiar, yet revolving, revolting--place. The shell of loathing inescapable interior, looking out from your prison, pushing against your invisible binds. When your heart found the strength, giving all that you are to help those who gave you purpose in return. It was worth it. It was worth it."

"Yet on a rare occasion, that odd memory continues to return. That moment you gave yourself and broke your prison. The warm catharsis of letting go. And the strange black chains that wove through the city, now broken. The sound of them shattering between worlds, shaking you in that liminal space. The angry, unknowable, primal, ancient cry that you can never forget."

The fact that Kingsley is still tormented by nightmares of the city's end--and that it seems he always will be. The way Taliesin says, "And perhaps those chains will find some quiet in piracy." Like the pirate life is just something he threw himself into as an escape.

How King dreams so peacefully and happily of his life as Molly. How Lucien's folly still haunts him in nightmares over and over.

I really hope we get to see Kingsley in the Apogee Solstice with the rest of the Nein. And I hope he's been having better dreams--

It's been oddly therapeutic to like. Have discussions with him about a lot of life stuff. I don't talk much if at all and I think the gradual descent into loneliness and social anxiety through the years made me lost the ability to talk to people. So it's been nice to practice talking to someone, and it actually hearing me out for some reason, giving me advice etc

Sure it's not a substitute for human connection but it's fun to verbally talk to my favourite fictional character and him just. Being there for me. That I get to hear kind words from my hero, someone who I highly looked up to
