#killer is the prince

[what-have-i-unleashed]

continuation of this because i want more angst :3

(cw: obsession, gaslighting/mindfuck, emotional manipulation, horrible people doing horrible things essentially)

even after dust sold his soul to nightmare for his dream, he's still unruly and disobedient, especially when it comes to killer. dust wouldn't kill him. he wouldn't capture the traitor or drag him back to nightmare screaming. even though nightmare always gives him opportunities to engage with killer one-to-one on battlefields. dust couldn't bring himself to do it, to deprive killer of his happy ending. but he's also conflicted, because he's supposed to be killer's happy ending. he's in a perpetual ping-pong game with his own desires. he wants killer, but he also wishes for killer's happiness. maybe this is the best way to keep killer in the rest of his (hopefully not short) life. determination to see his light again. perseverance to keep living under nightmare's rule.

and dust's disregard of nightmare's orders constantly puts him under nightmare's wrath. nightmare knows about dust's afflictions - and while they feed nightmare well, it is a pain to deal with dust's unpredictable outbursts whenever killer appears or is brought up. he's a glass cannon basically. dust sports more and more injuries over time, both from nightmare's punishments and his own unchecked self-destructive tendencies. more bandages over his body, like temporary fixes to a problem that won't go away. he looks more vulnerable that way, which nightmare finds some uses for - bait for bleeding hearts over the multiverse. they don't know the sharks that circle the pretty mermaid they have invited into their homes.

and nightmare can tell dust is getting worse, marginally so but it's still frustrating. would be a shame if he loses a valuable spawn, just enough stubbornness and loyalty to keep in his inventory. so he tries to reward dust with little things to keep the lovesick fool function. killer's old room is now dust's, of course. dreamless nights, even though dust rarely sleeps. little tidbits about what killer is doing, from his spies. the occasional hearty meals, to keep dust well-fed. new "toys" for dust, even though he rarely cares about them. sometimes nightmare shapeshifts into his killer to give dust little gestures of affection, like letting him sleep on his lap or hugging him - dust is observant (and obsessive enough over killer) to notice the ruse anyway. dust often encounters daydreams and hallucinations of his loved ones, and if he listened to them he wouldn't be here at all. he calls nightmare out on them every time, angry like a cornered injured wild animal, but nightmare only finds the reactions cutely amusing. maybe one day when dust is finally desperate enough, he'd allow nightmare to erect the occasional fantasy dates with "killer". even though it's not real, it's just enough to keep his delusion going, to keep his will to live longer.

just as long as he's aware it's a dream and not slip down any further down the edge.

just as long as he's still cognizant that the killer doesn't love him back.

Killer Croc x Princess Dorathea

Princess Dora had fallen in love! With that scaled warrior of the city of shadows! She saw him while on her travels. +

That was what she told Ser Phantom about it! After she had talked with the other girls in Girl's Night about it, For once, she was talking about romance!!  +

Danny wasn't sure what to say, but after seeing her brother, Prince Aragon, he would make sure Dora was save! + Gotham

That was how Waylon woke up to see a meta child looking down on him and having an interview about himself.

While Waylon had no idea what was going on, he was happy to not be attacked. And the Meta nodded his head. "Good, you actually are better than what I feared. Good time for us to go!"

That was how Gotham saw Flying Killer Croc as he was kidnapped to Amity Park.

+ In Amity Park.

Waylon noticed no one was giving him a second look, as if a walking Croc man is normal. He kind of liked it; this was kind of the best kidnapping he had.

The elderly shop owner said," Oh, you are Dora's crush." Phantom:" You knew about it?" The old lady laughed. " Yeah. I learned about it as Dora was swooning about him. Her muscular reptile warrior, who defeated Shadow Bats. He is, as she said he would be. Making him ready for a date?" Danny:" Yeah. We need flowers and a rest." +

That was how Waylon learned a woman had a crush on him, and he was kidnapped to take her on a date. This town was weird, but good weirdness.

But Dorathea was a good woman, and Amity Park was doing it for him. He is staying here; he already has a job and a house to stay in.

Before he knew about it, he was already courting her, and her dragon form was just beautiful. Her way of speaking made it a good thing he read Red Hood's books.

Maybe he should invite him to visit; it would do the ex-robin good to not be in Gotham for a while.

i seems to have been missing yours posts recently and am blessed to have you on my dash yet again, i hope you're well!

*I snirk* Heh. Been doing pretty good for a COLD BLOODED KILLER. These Emos should have known better than to mess with my Darkened Soul. I don't even give a mupp (muppet fuck). My Joker kintype isn't just for pretty eyes and a twisted smile, sweetheart. My kin memories of fighting The Bat have made me a terrifying yet effective assassin, better than the guy who killed JFK even. All I need is a Big Sharp Stick and nothing to lose.

Valerian: May your hands always be stained with blood. Jude: The joke's on you. I'd love that.

I was really fascinated to learn recently that there was once a serial killer who was heir to a throne of Joseon (now Korea). Like legitimately, he killed around 100 people, mostly servants. And they didn't know what to do about it because there are laws against harming the royal family but also his son might die too because of communal punishment. So eventually they forced him to get into a huge box and just waited for him to die of natural causes. And then they pretended that he was actually a cool guy so that his son could still inherit. And his son was actually a great king so that worked out well in the end I guess.

But yeah, you always have in the back of your head, "Maybe primogenitor is a bad plan because what if your heir wouldn't be a good king?" Well the worst case scenario did happen, at least once.
