[owl-bones]

dream with trust issues.............

[cardverseut]

♦ KINGDOM OF DIAMOND =

• His kingdom is the one with the most wealth of the 4 kingdoms.

• They have a rivalry in the seas with the Clover kingdom.

• The kingdom of Diamonds was formerly known for having a tree in the center of the castle, a unique and special one that did not exist anywhere else. Black and gold apples came out of this tree, which could provide happiness or despair if consumed. The former Queen of Diamonds queen was the only one allowed to approach this tree.

• They have the best doctors and healers from the 4 kingdoms.

___________ ♦ ___________

• KING OF DIAMONDS =

Name: Dream B. (Brightness) Joku. Age: 26 years. Spouse: Ink E. Comyet Family: ??? Joku (Father = Deceased), Nim Joku (Mother = Deceased), Night D. Joku (Big Brother = Deceased ...?).

Weapon / Skills: Her main weapon is a sword but she is the best archer in the kingdoms. You can get magic from the positive feelings of the people around you, with them you can make heavenly magic arrows of positive energy. Also because of its powers to absorb the positive feelings of those around them, it can help people who are scared, stressed or sad by passing a bit of their magic and relaxing those negative emotions but without removing them completely.

Personality: He is quite optimistic and friendly most of the time, he tries to help every person he can. He is someone very serious when it comes to the well-being of his people and he always tries to avoid the conflicts that can bring death, sometimes he can get angry but he has great patience (which Ink loves to test). But if you are alone you can be very melancholic and sad, lost many times in the memories of the past.

Story before he was crowned: He and his older brother Night were the twin sons of the previous Diamond kings. Dream grew up being trained to take on one of the royal roles alongside her brother, as being the son of the Queen and the King of Diamonds it was almost possible that they would choose her. Her entire childhood was happy and carefree until the sad day came when the beloved Queen Nim fell ill with a plague that struck the kingdom of Diamonds, which ultimately caused her death. The kingdom fell into sadness but tried to recover; unfortunately two years after the queen's death, the tree of feelings that guarded the kingdom died one night without explanation, all its fruits disappeared with the exception of a golden apple that Dream ate when he found it (since he was the first in finding the scene), and not only did the tree die, but not that Prince Night "died" that same night as well, killed by the same one who destroyed the tree of feelings and stole its fruits. Dream and the kingdom of Diamonds fell into deep sadness that culminated when the beloved King and his Jack they were killed by pirates on a diplomatic journey to the kingdom of Clover. Dream woke up the following night to the mark of the King of Diamonds and from there he rules, vowing that his kingdom would be the happiest and most prosperous of all in the name of his family.

Bonus: He loves to eat donuts. She is very angry with King Nightmare when she finds out that he was the one who murdered her brother and constantly tries to get the king to return the moon brooch that belonged to Night (without success).

• QUEEN OF DIAMONDS =

Name: Ink E. (Ence) Comyet Age: 23 years. Spouse: Dream B. Joku. Family: orphan.

Weapon / Skills: Her favorite weapon is her Art Brushes, they look like normal brushes in sight but can transform into small Knives / Daggers. You have the ability to control the ink as you like and shape it as you please, but the more ink you have to control, the greater the chance that you will lose control, but thanks to a special giant brush it is layers to handle it with ease.

Personality: He is very friendly, joker and childish, he loves to make jokes and annoy people. He loves trying to help people with what he can, even though he sometimes makes things worse with his "solutions." But despite being quite cheerful and friendly, he can't stand arrogant and superior people, when he gets angry he can be really scary and he is not someone you want as an enemy.

Life before the coronation: He was left by his parents in an orphanage when he was a baby because of his strange condition, he was born without a soul, which prevented him from feeling any emotion, a rare disease that was rarely seen. Because of this he was never adopted and grew up being cared for by the nuns of the orphanage who treated him with all the love they could, they paid a doctor who discovered that with certain special ink paintings he could feel emotions, so it was that an older man who came and adopted him at age 13, that man was an old pinto with a lot of money who taught Ink about art and made him passionate. A few years later his adoptive father died, he inherited everything and used it to become the best painter in the entire kingdom of Diamante, at the age of 20 his queen mark appeared in the palm of his hand, but without knowing what it meant to pass 6 months until one of his clients saw him take off his gloves, quickly calling the royal guards who guided Ink to the castle where she was crowned Queen of Diamonds.

Bonus: because of his lack of soul he has a very bad memory and can forget that he was talking in the middle of a conversation, But if you see a person many times or if something is very striking in his eyes, he can remember it. You have little sense of self-preservation with your life, he tends to be dangerously unnecessary for the simple emotion and loves to go to the animal stables in the castle to play with them and draw them. He has a little pig named Stain that he proclaimed as his son and prince of the Diamond kingdom (To the horror and amusement of many).

• DIAMOND JACK =

Name: Blue B. Popcorn Age: 19 years. Spouse / Lover: None. Family: Aster W. Swap (Uncle) and Honey S. Popcorn (Younger brother).

Weapon / Skills: Its main weapon is a large battle hammer. He has a monstrous strength that was developed from a young age combined with his great speed. It can summon bones and a small GB (Gaster Blaster), but it's mostly good with close range and physical attacks.

Personality: He is very friendly and energetic, he is always eager to fight and save people. He calls himself "The Magnificent Blue". Although he hates violence, he is passionate about friendly battles where he fights to train not to hurt his opponent, for this great heart he has, he gained the friendship of some members of royalty, and if there is a discussion that goes astray likes to interfere to find the most peaceful way to solve it. Even with all this he should not be underestimated, he can be an enemy to fear when he wants, he takes very seriously his job of protecting his kings and his people.

Life before being the Jack: The eldest son of a middle family, his parents went to the previous war by belonging to the royal guard and died in combat, leaving him and his younger brother at a very young age, they were breeders for his Uncle Aster. As Blue grew older, his love to join the royal guard like his parents did, he began training from a young age to fulfill his dream, his younger brother Honey did not support his brother's wishes for fear of losing him as his parents. When he turned 16, his brand of Jack appeared, he decided to go behind his family's back and appeared at the castle where he began his training for his position as Jack, he is one of the youngest Jack's in history.

Bonus: He loves to cook and especially make his extra "special" foals that are capable of leaving monsters and humans speechless for their indescribable flavor. He considers himself the best friend of the Queen of Clovers and letters are constantly being sent about what happens in their lives, it is said that thanks to that friendship peace continues to prosper between Diamond and Clover.

headcanons part 2 because you guys liked the first

Killer learned to juggle in his freetime, solely out of boredom. He has tried to juggle his knives on multiple occasions. you can tell how that went. (He almost cut his hand off once)

Nightmare has a small garden that he makes sure none of the others can go to. He is growing a small apple tree there.

He has destroyed said garden on multiple occasions in fits of rage. It is filled with small yellow flowers that, at first, he was hellbent on ripping up like weeds, but he has begrudgingly accepted them by now.

A lot of the sanses have misophonia, but especially Horror. He despises the sound of chewing or heavy breathing. He will snap at you to shut your mouth if you're eating with your mouth open.

Literally all of them would get horribly carsick they have never been in a car before

I think Dream would be terrified of cars actually

Ink would be the type of person to put a fake spider on your shoulder when you're afraid of them

Cross has claustrophobia

So does Error

Ink loves tight spaces . he will sleep in a tiny cardboard box and not complain in the slightest

Horror absolutely despises the other bad guys, at least at first. especially considering he's the only one who didn't kill his brother.

Both of the twins are very clingy physically, but Nightmare would rather kill someone than have anyone find that out.

Swap actually loves the nickname Blue/Blueberry. He finds it endearing.

Dream and Swap have sleepovers a lot. Ink and Error sometimes barge in.

Fell caught Error stealing his stuff one time in the middle of the night and is completely convinced he had some form of sleep deprivation caused hallucination.

Ink has been tempted to try eating monster dust. At least once. Just to see what it tastes like.

Swap verse

And here it is. The Swap Verse. I want this to be more than just "Character swaps with Character". So here is a full list of who is here and who they are. Enjoy.

Swap Nightmare is Phobos. Name inspired by the Martian Moon, and by the god of fear who goes by the same name. Swaps with Dream. In this AU, Phobos is the guardian of positivity. While he represents negative energy and such, it is his job to keep the balance and watch over the opposite side of the tree. And just like Dream, everyone loves him more than his brother. But unlike Dream, Phobos actually earns and deserves the adoration. He knew the villagers did not love his brother as much and tried his best to him without letting him know people didn't love him. I'll explain the "incident" when I get to swap Dream but just know that Phobos does still eat the dark apple and become a goofy octopus we know. But unlike the original Nightmare, Phobos felt bad after what happened and decided to leave the village, not believing he deserved the adoration anymore. Phobos is still the leader of a gang. But it's not a group Phobos started to spread death and fear across the multiverse. Phobos started his group which I shall title The Good Sanses (Real creative I know) was started by Phobos when he began to take in Sans AUs who were in pain and alone. AUs that had the most negativity leaking through. His Salt equivalent is Phosphor. Name inspired by the word that means fluorescent light.

Swap Error is Cyber. Name inspired by the word that means related to computers and technology. Swaps with Ink. In this AU, Cyber is still the "destroyer of AUs". I want to go or a The Collector from The Owl House vibe. Cyber's story is generally the same as Error's... Which is... Well... I'm not sure what Error's story is but here goes; Cyber was previously swap Geno (Who I will discuss later), who was previously Blue. Cyber agrees there AUs are anomalies of the original Undertale AU. But he actually likes them. His goal is not to destroy them but to make them look pretty. He'll decorate the AUs with long patches of his yarn, make it all look pretty, and then move onto the next. Cyber is not completely devoid of malice. Just like Ink, Cyber is not necessarily "good". If he believes an AU is beyond saving he will destroy it (Hense keeping the Destroyer Of AUs title). He sees the multiverse as his personal dollhouse and the monsters inside, his dolls. Whom which he can toy with however he wants. His Salt equivalent is Crypto. Name inspired by the word short for cryptocurrency.

Swap Cross is Scout. Name inspired by the word that means soldier or person who searches. Swaps with Blue. In this AU, Scout is basically if Cross were to instead join Dream/The good side. But he joined Phobos. Scout has a very similar personality to Blue. He is very helpful and is the shining beacon of The Good Sanses. His Salt equivalent is Scotch. Name inspired by the fact that it also starts with 'sco'.

Swap Dust is Powder. Name inspired by the word that means particals. He doesn't swap with anyone, but he is meant to have a similar personality to Horror. In this AU, when Stretch tried to kill Blue, Blue instead fought back and kills Stretch. He felt terrible for it. But at the same time it felt so "good". So nice to not be a weakling for once and have someone else's blood/dust on his hands. So he decided to keep going and start killing everyone to feed his newfound bloodlust. After the first reset he did it all over again And after the second reset, and after the third, fourth, and fifth. After about 50 resets the human just... Stopped coming back. Powder is very mentally broken but not in the same way Dust is. Powder is just a complete manic mess. He is very emotional and cries over every little thing and is very clingy. Powder is similar to Horror in the sense that despite having a very tragic origin he is in a way the least harmful and cares for the other members the most. Powder has a ghost Pap as well whom he pretends is real as a way of coping. Sometimes it seems like he knows it's not real, other times it can be very hard to tell. His ghost Pap usually just mocks and verbally abuses Powder. His Salt equivalent is Pollen. Name inspired by the word that means powdery substance.

Swap Killer is Hunter. Name inspired by the word that means someone that hunts. He doesn't swap with anyone, but he is meant to have the same personality as Dust. In this AU, I wanted to play off the fact that Killer lacks emotions. Instead of lacking emotions but still acting with a lot of expression (The best way I can describe Killer) Hunter shows little to no expression. And unlike Dust, Hunter has no sense of empathy or sympathy for anyone he's hurt or anyone around him that is hurting. Hunter tries his best with Powder and Spook because he knows how hard their past is but he can never bring it in himself to fully sympathize. His Salt equivalent is Heather. Name inspired by... I dunno.

Swap Horror is Spook. Name inspired by the word that means unnerving. He doesn't swap with anyone, but he is meant to have the same personality as Killer. In this AU, not much really changes. Blue is the one who's eye is required for the Core. Alphys is never able to bring herself to take it herself, but when Spook finds out about this, he himself offers to let her. Spook is very dim witted and empty-headed. A silly goofball. He usually just spends his time eating because he's always hungry. His Salt equivalent is Spade. Name inspired by the fact it also starts with 'sp'.

Swap Dream is Hypnos. Name inspired by the god of sleep that has the same name. Swaps with Nightmare. In this AU, Hypnos is the guardian of negativity. While he represents positive energy and such, it is his job to keep the balance and watch over the opposite side of the tree. And just like Nightmare, the villagers do not like him. But unlike Nightmare, Hypnos is kind o justifiable to dislike. He's a bit of a self entitled jerk. He is very jealous of Phobos and has always suspected the villagers loved him more. Hypnos is always trying to get some love but never can. Until one day he gets tired of it. Hypnos eats a positive apple to try and gain some attention. But when that doesn't work he snaps and tries to kill his own brother. Phobos eats the dark apple in order to become strong so he can fight back. But before Hypnos and him and fully fight, Hypnos turns to stone. Once Hypnos came back from stone he swore to himself that he'd get back at Phobos (For existing I guess). And so he started his own little group called the Fallen Sanses. His Salt equivalent is Hydria. Name inspired by the word hydra.

Swap Ink is Slate. Name inspired by a shade of grey and 'blank 'slate''. Swaps with Error. In this AU, Slate is still the "protector of AUs". Slate is still the one who creates the AUs. But here, his attitude is much more similar to Error's. He is VERY particular about his creations and if he finds that there is a single thing wrong with it he will destroy it. Even if it's when he changes his mind after creating the monsters that live in the AU. Slate gets very jealous. If he thinks someone is getting more attention than him he will purposely deface their work. Which is why he hates Cyber. After Cyber "ruins" the AUs Slate works "So HaRd" to "perfect", he will destroy it. Even if he could very easily just clean up the mess. If Slate befriends someone he might leave the AU they live in be. But one wrong move and he will destroy that AU just out of spite. His Salt equivalent is Sullen. Name inspired by the word that means gloomy and depressed.

Swap Blue is Cobalt. Name inspired by the shade of blue and material that goes by the same name. Swaps with Cross. In this AU, Cobalt is basically if Blue was recruited by the Bad Sanses instead. Blue became a royal guard in Underswap and then was recruited to become a Fallen Sans. But what happened was he didn't join by choice. Hypnos took him away from his AU before Slate decided to destroy it. Perhaps he say potential. Neither are sure. He just did it. Anyway. Blue was renamed Cobalt to sound more intimidating I guess? Cobalt will often question Hypnos and Slate's morals. His Salt equivalent is Cloud. Name inspired by Cloudberries.

Swap Lust is Poly. Name inspired by the word polyamorous. In this AU, Poly is feminine. That's it. Your welcome. His Salt equivalent is Posy. Name inspired by the flowers.

Swap Ccino is Muffin. Name inspired by the food. In this AU, Muffin will be made to be as cute as possible. He still has a cafe. But instead of cats he has a bunch of bunnies and instead of a bunny hoodie he has a cat hoodie. His Salt equivalent is Mocha. Name inspired by the chocolate.

Swap Geno is Cide. Name inspired by the last part of Geno'cide'. In this AU, Cide is basically Blue if he were put in Geno's situation. If the human were to somehow find a way to kill Stretch first. His Salt equivalent is Ciao. Name inspired by the fact that there weren't a lot of options.

Swap Reaper is Phantom. Name inspired by the word that means ghost. In this AU, Phantom is basically Blue if he was Reaper I guess. His Salt equilavent is Phasmid. Name inspired by stick bugs for some reason.

Swap Fresh is Tyke. Name inspired by the word that means young rascal. In this AU, Tyke is still a parasite. But with a few changes. Instead of being incredibly dark and intimidating, Tyke is very short and "cute". He is designed to deceive others and make them trust him. He bears a striking resemblance to fanon Blueberry. "Also he tawks wike dis". He wears a cute pair of glasses that neutrally say 'UwU'. But make no mistake. Despite his cutesy appearance, Tyke is still plenty dangerous. Tyke has a very similar aesthetic to a 2000s kid. His Salt equivalent is Tux. Name inspired by the word tuxedo.

Swap Science is Gizmo. Name inspired by the fact Gizmo is a nerd name I guess. Gizmo is an absolute nerd and I luv him. His Salt equivalent is Gemma. Name inspired by the fact that Gemma is also a name that starts with G.

Swap Midnight is Goji. Name inspired by Gojiberries/Wolfberries. Swaps with Ivan. Goji acts like an animal like Ivan. But instead of a dog she acts like a cat. She is still shy like Midnight and doesn't like confrontation. She'll avoid any situation she thinks may lead to that the best she can. She's also not as angry and nippy as Ivan. Goji's parents are technically Cobalt and Cyber.

Swap Ivan is Shoah. Name inspired by the word that means catastrophe. Swaps with Midnight. Shoah is very very shy. He doesn't like to talk to people because he can't really talk well himself. Shoah will often refer to himself when he speaks instead of using words like "I" or "Me". Shoah's parents are Spook and Powder.

Swap Zany is Morose. Name inspired by the word that means sullen and gloomy. Swaps with Chip. Morose is basically Zany but if he was raised by Dream. His kind nature isn't held back by his evil surroundings. Morose is very cheerful and positive. Just like Zany, Morose doesn't really have parents. Phobos made him out of positive energy.

Swap Chip is Ennui. Name inspired by the word that means bored and lethargic. Swaps with Zany. Ennui is exactly what her name is. She is neutral to almost everything. She's glued to her phone. Ennui's parents are Cobalt and Cyber.

Swap Honeydew is Durian. Name inspired by the fruit. Swaps with Domino. Durian is still a very smart and scientific skeleton. She's just a bit more dirty like Domino.

Swap Pitaya is Peach. Name inspired by the fruit (Only because Plum was taken). Swaps with Mayonnaise. Peach is a cheeky little prankster like Mayo. But her pranks are food related. Like pie in the face or broccoli in chocolate.

Swap Mayonnaise is Nutella. Name inspired by the food because it's sweet. Swaps with Pitaya. Nutella is now the yandere for Peach.

Swap Domino is Flask. Name inspired by the contain, which can be used for chemicals or alcohol. Swaps with Honeydew. Flask is still into card games and stuff like that. But he's not a gambler. He's a good boy that just likes to do card tricks and magic tricks for fun.

Swap Casper is Felix. Name inspired by the name that means fortunate and because it sounds like a rich kid's name. Swaps with Constellation. Felix is just as cruel and hateful as Casper. But it's more so a spoiled cruel like the way Constellation is. He's like a generic mean rich kid you see in cartoons. But Felix is also a tricky devil. He likes to play mind games with people just to annoy them. Felix's parents are Powder and Hunter.

Swap Constellation is Calypso. Name inspired by the goddess who goes by the same name. Swaps with Casper. Calypso is basically Constellation but if she was raised by Nightmare. Hypnos fully indulges Calypso on her spoiled cruelty. Just like Constellation, Calypso doesn't really have parents. Hypnos made her out of negative energy.

Swap Abstract is Tinker. Name inspired by the word that means to fiddle with something and repair it. Swaps with Desire. Tinker loves to fiddle with anything they can get their grubby hands on to see what they can do with it and how they can make it look prettier. They still can't speak.

Swap Scarlet is Maroon. Name inspired by the shade of dark red. Swaps with Dread. Maroon is very dull like Hunter. She constantly has a blank expression on her face. Maroon's parents are Hunter and Spook.

Swap Dread is Blanc. Name inspired by the french word that means white. Swaps with Scarlet. Blanc is very hopeful and full of life. She likes to see the beauty in everything. Blanc's parents are Cide and Phantom.

Swap Desire is Iris. Name inspired by the word that means colorful and pretty. Swaps with Abstract. Since Desire can talk I wanted to go for the complete opposite affect Abstract has. Iris never shuts up and is constantly babbling about something. She loves the arts and is always on her phone taking photos and selfies.

[neverniko101]

Hihi! You could probably tell from the blast of reblogs I just snatched, but I just found your Horror!Dreamtale au and oh my god I love it so much-

I went through the master post and the ask responses and am a lil confused on the events that occurred between the base storyline pieces and the ask pieces

If you’re up for it could you give like a brief timeline of events up to the point we’re at currently? I’m thinking moreso about the twins but general info about the au as a whole would also be much appreciated :)

(Request is entirely not forced by the way! If you don’t wanna or don’t have motivation/energy that’s perfectly okay!)

Hiya! Lmfao I love it when I can see people reading through and liking all the comics, I’m so happy other people like the things I make :3

As for a summary, there should be one at the bottom of this post but I can try to make one that’s a bit more clear down below:

- Twins are born from the tree! Babies! (0 yrs)

- Villagers move kingdom to around the tree, introduce twins to outside world. (8 yrs)

- Frostbite (Nightmare) and Firefly (Dream) each eat one apple, fighting each other in their desperation to get more. They calm down, though, and both agree to not eat any more. The tree was damaged in the battle, though, and grew sickly afterwards. (12 yrs).

- The land is in a state of famine, with the villagers remaining nearby but mostly leaving the twins alone. Anons come and befriend twins :D (14 yrs)

- Ink shows up too, and decides it’s a good idea to take the twins out of their already unstable AU. The twins attack another version of Dream and steal most of his magic. They begin to attack other AUs as well, stealing other magic and souls out of desperation to heal their AU. Ink is unable/unwilling to stop them. (14 yrs)

- The twins, now with a large supply of magic & souls, return to their AU and feed them to the tree. A massive forest springs up around them, destroying the old village and forcing the villagers out. The villagers move to the edge of the woods to rebuild, with the ruins of the old town acting as a barrier between them and the woods. (14 yrs)

- While things are better, they certainly aren’t fixed, and Firefly feels guilt for all the lives they hurt. The twins have a huge (verbal) fight, and Firefly leaves the woods to become a vigilante and protect the townsfolk. Frostbite remains as the tree’s only guardian. (14 yrs)

- Five years have passed. Suddenly, powerful purple-eyed beasts begin emerging from the forest and attacking the towns as well as anyone who gets too close to the woods. The king begs for someone to find the source and stop these attacks. (19 yrs- Current)

[rainbowninja00]

a dreamtale au (words colour-coded for easier reading)

Nightmare eats the apples and the tree dies, Dream gets turned to stone, and Nightmare goes out into the multiverse, hundreds years later Dream emurges and goes looking for his brother.

the big difference? Nightmare is the doe eyed optimist and Dream is the shut in cynic. Nightmare insists upon playing with the villiagers, despite how much they hate him, they only play with him because Dream threatens to leave and take his powers with him. Dream would 100% leave the tree for dead, nothing is more important to him than his brother, if only Nightmare could see that they only stand him to get Dream's positivity.

so the apple incident. Nightmare is chilling under the tree, Dream went off foraging, everyone is sick of this little kid that brings negativity everywhere he goes annoying them, so they plan on getting rid of him and kidnapping Dream. Nightmare begs and pleads for mercy and kindness, he calls for help but nobody came. so he did the one thing he wasn't allowed to do; he ate the apples. Dream comes just too late, finding his little brother with black stuff pooring out of his eye sockets. Nightmare's corruption furthers, tentacles ensue, and people either attempt to run, or attack, he shouts for them to leave him alone, his power reaches out and kills everyone around him, except Dream. Dream isn't scared of his brother, he is scared FOR him. he attempts to approach him and calm him, but Nightmare starts crying from the pain, how overwhelming it all is, or from what he's done dream doesn't know. but Nightmare screams for him to stay away so he wouldn't hurt his brother too, but all that does is start the petrification. Nightmare desperately tries to stop it, but his efforts mean nothing. all Dream does is reassure him, telling them it would all be okay. as he is fully turned to stone his eyes are full of tears but there is a smile on his face, Nightmare is the only one who ever got to see it.

after his brother was petrified, Nightmare sat at the dead trunk of the tree and cried for a bit, wanting to get away. and he accidentally opened a portal to killer's AU. (this was cause killer was feeling the same thing deep down; wanting to escape his empty home and be free of his sins) so he HELPS killer and promises to help him and look after him like Dream did. over the time of Dream being stone, he recruits the gang (killer, horror, dust, cross WHO IS VERY IMPORTANT, and kinda error) and ink, blue, red, and core are trying to stop them cause they are spreading negativity and harassing AU residents. Nightmare only needs the general balance to be maintained, but sometimes he doesn't tell them that there is too much negativity cause he hopes that if there is more positivity Dream will wake up again and he can apologise for all he's done (he hasn't done anything wrong) and be with his brother again. the gang are like his little brothers, he learns how Dream felt when they were kids. he has to tell them how to care for themselves, not kill each other, not destroy the castle, and to leave the au residents alone (they won't, they think it's fun) the castle still exists, they found an au that error had cleaned out of residents, but ink stopped him from totally destroying, and Nightmare created them a home where they would all be safe, happy, accepted and loved.

Ink and core where there when Dream woke up. Dream imediately was on the offensive, questioning who they were and where is brother was. they told him their version of the story, how he was terrorising the multiverse and evil. dream did not believe this for a second. the last golden apple was at his feet, it had been there for centuries, Nightmare refused to touch it as he had killed all the others and hoped its proximity to dream would allow it to last. Dream took and ate the apple, seeing no point in keeping it since their world was already dead. he gained his basic powers, altough his little stick is much more of a bo staff. Dream was dragged to the omega timeline and begged to help them stop his brother, he remained cold and refused to do anything they said, he only broke once he realised if he joins them he can find his brother easier, he didn't care if his brother MAGICALLY decided to take over the entire multiverse, his brother deserved it for all the shit he went through. he tolerated core, grew to find ink endearingly chaotic, (he even got Dream to chuckle a few times) and he appricated blue and his optimism, it reminded him of the brother he was desperately missing. Dream basically used blue as a replacement Nightmare for all of the nights they spent apart, he smiled in blue's precence sometimes, accepted and gave him physical affection, and called him affectionate nicknames.

when the two finally do meet on the battle field, Dream is relieved to see his brother is alive and well, but Nightmare is TERRIFIED. he thinks Dream is here to hurt him for everything since he's with the people who have been attacking him and his friends. (Although they wouldn't attack if his pals actually listened to him for once) Nightmare keeps running, anytime he sees Dream on the stars' side, he runs back home and ends up hiding in his corner in the library and sobbing. he feels so guilty and sad and scared. meanwhile Dream is distressed that he keeps failing to reach his brother in time. Dream trains to be more athletic in hopes of catching his brother before he disappears into his own world again. he also blames the stars for his brother fleeing at every interaction.

once they do talk, it's a lot of crying and Dream gets to finally hug his brother again and reassure him he's there for him and always loved him, and would never hurt him. it's kinda like a spin on the entire multiverse knowing Nightmare is gone and Dream is in denial, instead everyone else is just ignoring what Nightmare has to say and profiling him like the villagers did, and Dream is the only one who actually wants to listen and help his brother feel better.

perhaps Dream would be a couple/few years older than Nightmare too.

might make this a proper fanfic, wish i could draw cause i would love to make art of these boys.

(@dreemurr-skelememer I originally tried to send this as an ask to you since i know you like dreamtale and it's aus a lot and thought that you would like to see it)

EDIT: HERE IS THE LINK TO THE FIC I AM UPDATING IT AS FAST AS I CAN https://archiveofourown.org/works/46784704 if you are interested in this AU stick around for the fic please

[spotaus]

HEY!

It is me!

I had a thought concerning New Age AU :D

I spend some time thinking about waht you said.

That the castle Nightmare (and dream and their family) lived in. The royal castle.

Is the tree of emotions.

So. So hear me out.

I wonder that. if the castle is the tree. does that mean it may be a bit sentient.

You said that nightmare can easily change it because he is conencted to it (the apple ritual) but i wonder if the castle itself is kinda sentient.

And VERY mad about how its powers got used.

Maybe the story of the twins. OG story. is connected to the prophecy. But it was a warning.

It was a warning to remain united. To trust your family and to listen to them when they ask for help. To believe them when they notice things about people youdon't notice.

To warn away from going out on your own. warnign away from searching for power that you shouldnt take. (the apples were never suposed to be eaten after all.)

And of those twins the one who ate the apple actually succeed in killing their twin. that the grieve of that moment intensified the emotions based power source into overdrive which caused the one who ate the apple to even gain godlike abilities.

the whole prophecy was a warning.

The royal family that settled in this place. found the story. found the tree (having recovered after the twin who ate the apple died) and instead of seeing a warnign. saw a to do list.

The lessons they took:

power makes you undefeatable

the power makes you stay in control

the best way to gain this power? eat an apple and kill someone important to you.

attachment is a weakness waiting to be used to grow more powerful.

sadly after they grabbed and misused one apple? they got paranoid. if they can use the tree to gain power others can too! so they cut the tree down. and to make sure it could never grow back. build the castle on top of it.

Meaning there is only ONE apple. the one consumed by the one true ruler. and the ruler neeeds to willingly summon their apple/soul to give to eat to the new ruler. to pass on the forbidden knowedge and power through lessons and traditions.

over time the trees influence took over the castle. but because the ruler ate the apple and has a direct connection they can still control the castle.

the tree/castle watches as nightmare broke the cycle. as nightmare refused to hurt ccino (adn so his brother) nightmare, even through fear chose love and trust.

the castle willingly helps and protects nightmare.

and when nightmare lost the apple's power? officially breaking that godforsaken cycle? the castle is just more protective. thorn now protect the castle and the trees around it hide it.

this is of course. lost knowledge. the royal family made sure to destroy the knowledge in fear of someone standing against them.

but nightmare managed to break it still.

and maybe... just maybe... now somewhere deep in the castle. deep underground as a forgotten meadow deep underground. in a beautiful little cave. a new tree starts to grow to truly help heal the land.

haha sorry this got long again lmao.

but yeah! If you have the tree/castle kinda sentient you can have that the very land was trying to sabotage the old rulers but couldn't do a lot because of the one apple's power and so having to listen.

it would be the source of all that powerful magic.

Ough. It SO is slightly sentient.

Ancha once again you have obliterated me w/ ur storytelling istg-

Okay. I love that this info has been lost completely to time. Like. The only one that's aware is the tree/castle itself.

I think the interpretation I like here is that, the stump is somewhere within the grounds, maybe even in the treasury or armory, but the *roots* make up the building kinda cypress tree style, so as they cut down the tree, the once vibrant life in the old roots turned to stone and was left almost completely powerless. (I am, unfortunately, a sucker for the idea that there was a time that *someone* treated the tree with respect 😔) (Also hense the new young tree sprout growing out of the ground deep in a hidden cavern, because the roots relocated the power to a safer location.)

The castle, desperately grasping for that power back, so no one might mis-use it ever again. And then seeing Nightmare resist its twisted urges (like u said) in the name of love and care? It rips that power away the moment it loses its hold on Nightmare, and takes the seeds of magic away from harm's reach. But... Nightmare isn't upset by the loss. He doesn't go digging to get the power back. He... doesn't dig for *any* power.

Less blood is shed in vain on its land, more plants and ecosystems are allowed to thrive.

And gods, just the idea that the castle grows up plants and trees to better defend itself abd the people inside? This reaction is spontanious and Night assumes it connects to the state of the magic leaving him, but it doesn't harm anyone so ehhh. But the tree is trying to encourage and protect those who helped it without knowing...

And dude the whole story of the og story and both twins dying and then a family misconstrued that entire story into one of power and consumption and betrayal??? Waughhh it's beautiful....

I'm losing my mind here at the storybook level magical healing and forgiveness and learning lessons, I love it so so dearly <3

Nega!Dreamtale

Nega!Dreamtale is an au of Dreamtale in which characters are made to be more like those of Negatale while pertaining the Characteristics of those of Dreamtale. As a result, the au is a bit darker and doesn't entirely seem like it follows the same logic.

In this au, Dream is female as I prefer the idea of a female Dream due to their personality, though it is altered in this universe. Dream has a habit of looking to others for approval all the time, being a real people pleaser and putting others down if it means being liked by the majority, your stereotypical affection starved popular brat. Dream relatively let's others bully Nightmare and pretends not to see, talking trash about him behind his back to be more loved by the humans. Meanwhile Nightmare is severely depressed and kind of has a Negatale Sans-esq personality, always seeming down and is initially pacifistic, especially because throughout the years Dream has conditioned him to be afraid of getting angry due to his "true form" in which becoming angry and stressed makes him hyper aggressive and violent, so he's relatively unable to defend himself out of fear of hurting people. Another thing to note is Nightmare wears a bunch of white and blue while Dream wears darker colors reminiscent of the colors on the Negatale Dreamurrs, mixed in with a few gold pieces here and there. Nega!Nightmare (pacifist) also wears a jacket opposed to his canon Dreamtale clothes while Dream wears more revealing clothes in an attempt to make herself more attractive, not that a skeleton is actually attractive to the humans, those that like her that way only do so because she's the guardian of positivity. Eventually the two begin arguing when the humans come to bully Nightmare and Dream ends up telling Nightmare he's just jealous because she's actually liked while he's just a "weirdo" who mopes around all day and is the embodiment of something everyone hates. Nightmare during the argument enters his true form and strikes Dream before taking a black apple, telling her he'll give them all a real reason to hate him before eating the apple in his blindly angered state, turning him into the corrupt Negamare we see above. After this, he destroys Nega!Dreamtale's human inhabitants and eats the rest of the apples. His body only kept intact by the fact it's so durable thanks to his true form. Before the tree is destroyed, Dream eats a golden apple and is turned to stone like in canon, however this apple alone isn't enough to wash away the guilt that will follow Dream later down the line. Negamare then goes off to destroy more au's, unaware that the spirit of the human residing in the black apple who had attacked Nym in life was now influencing him by bringing up bad memories to make him transform and destroy. Unlike canon Dreamtale, Nightmare can turn back to normal when he's not enraged and often spends that time alone crying to himself until the human spirit enrages him again, since unlike the canon Dreamtale the human spirit isn't strong enough to fully control Nightmare.

Our Town (MLP) but instead Nightmare Sans

So I was rewatching MLP and got to Starlight Glimmer's first appearance. The whole concept of the town and her backstory made me wonder: What if Nightmare created a town where he and others would feel equal. Where no one gets bullied for their magic, status, and looks?

Here is some small background on Nightmare and how this town (Gonna name it Our Au) would come to be:

• Nightmare eats only one apple

• Nightmare runs away from corrupted tree and angry mob of villagers

• Nightmare is almost attacked and thanks to his new abilities from the apple got teleported to another au. At this point Dream is turned to stone by the negativity coming from the corrupt tree, the depressed zombie villagers, and the fact his brother had disappeared. Both Nightmare and Dream have eaten one apple. Therefore they both have the ability to sense other's emotions, teleport via emotions, and are immortal.

• The au Nightmare falls into is unfortunately Underfell. Which lure Nightmare in because of the massive amount of negativity in the au.

• 200 years later Ink keeps nagging Nightmare for meddling in Aus. Nightmare is also on the run from Error

• Several close calls later and Au hopping, nightmare has been alive for 300+ years. Nightmare decides to settle down and gets the idea to create his own Village, his own Au, where everyone would be safe and treated equal. It would also prove to his brother and the others of his past that even if he can't protect the positive apples, he can make others happy and protect them. He meets Killer and the first Horror here.

• 200 years of trial and error, betrayal, and at one point Error destroying the entire au (the first Horror sans nightmare meets dies with the Au). After finding temporary shelter with the remaining survivors, Nightmare sets off to find a safer au and to make a deal with Error to prevent it from destruction.

• Nightmare finds a new Au, completely abandoned. He meets another Horror and even Dust and takes them to the new au. He even welcomes in some of the horrortale residents. Nightmare found a spell book on his travels. Having thought over everything that has happened up to that point and finding a certain spell in the book, Nightmare decides that to rid of magic and any special talents would truly make them all equal.

• Nightmare uses the book to drain everyone's magic within the Au which they named, Our Au (so creative). For the monsters that needed magic to survive he had left enough magic within them for them to live and create bland magic food to eat. Nightmare even drains his own magic, leaving enough to cast the draining spell and to teleport to other Aus (this is why nightmare's eye lights are slightly purple). As Nightmare's magic has significantly weakened he is no longer able to sense other's emotions. As to why he doesn't know that forcing others to be happy and completely equal could cause the residents of Our Au to feel despair.

• Year 506, Nightmare stops Au traveling once he brings Cross to Our Au. Then does he drain even more of his magic until he is only able to cast the draining spell. For the next 20 years everything is peaceful

• Dream breaks out of the stone on year 506. For 20 years He teams up with Ink and Blue to protect the multiverse while looking out for where his brother could be.

-----

That's about the whole gist of it. I got more info but don't want this post to be so long. Plus not everything is set to stone nor well developed. It's just a silly little au I wanted to make based off a MLP episode.

Wasn't sure if the village would wear all grey or wear colors so have the colored versions of nightmare's outfit below! (Depending on which I chose for this outfit will determine the color palette of the other outfits in this au)

[elliebell77]

It’s your turn to talk about your OCs!!! (Only if you want to of course)

hii im sorry i took so long to answer lol (turns out infodumping takes up a lot of effort)

I have like several ocs (mostly in utmv) but they arent really connected or part of one particular story like yours are. they just kind of exist in their own AUs. I should make them interact at some point tho i think that'd be fun!!

I could infodump abt them all but i think this post would actually be like several pages long so ill just give a synopsis on the 'favorite children' so to speak. four of which i very conveniently drew (mostly because of this ask) like yesterday so ill just use those images lol

Hopeless Error is my most recent character and honestly isnt very fleshed out (none of them are....) but basically it's: "What if Error/Geno never escaped the antivoid?". I made sure not to include any blue into his design because i think error sews his clothes from the strings and Hopeless doesn't have the strings so.. basically he's stuck with his original clothing + whatever he finds dumped in the antivoid.

Hopeless hasn't lost his memories from being Geno, though his memory is kinda bad from being so glitchy but also just from being in the antivoid for so long. He kind of gets certain events jumbled and mixed up, and chunks are either straight up gone or are false memories. Like error (and also geno before he escaped the loading screen) Hopeless is very bitter and cynical. I don't know if he's actually ANGRY like error but he's certainly unhappy and very apathetic with his circumstances.

In this AU Ink exists, but he's kind of just wandering around purposeless. If there's nobody destroying the AUs, there's no point in protecting them, either. because of this the multiverse is in a very stagnant state where new things aren't really being made, but the old things aren't being destroyed, either. it's just kind of... sad.

Recov is a much happier oc!! even though he looks grumpy 99% of the time lmao. Basically Recov is short for recovery au nightmare, who is, as you can probably infer, an au where nightmare gets reverted to his original form. I guess it's more of a "reverted au" since a lot of his problems go unsolved, but you get the point.

Recov agreed to be reverted to his original form, and had a truce with the Stars, but the actual conflict between them isn't really solved yet. just... band aided. Though, dream thinks it's all better because in his mind the issue was surface level and now that nightmare's appearance has been changed dream can finally have his brother back.

I'm honestly not sure what I want to do w/ this au. Obviously, both dream and nightmare have a redemption arc and slowly reconcile and heal the broken trust. but what of after? I was thinking that they become guardians of a new tree planted by dream, which is why Recov is dressed so formally in the image, but the whole point of the au is accepting that things change and that things CANT go back to the way they were before. planting a new tree and going back to square one kind of defeats that entire purpose.

So, for now, recovery au kinda just sits in my mental closet gathering dust lmao.

Lucid is short for Lucid Dream from Dreamswap77 (because there are several other dreamswap aus so i wanted to make mine distinct) if u cant tell I really love making dreamtale aus. though if u think recovery au is neglected wait till u see this one lmao

Lucid is not very fleshed out at all tbh lmao. Basically, the idea of dreamswap77 is that the actual dreamtale plot remains the same, but the character roles have been swapped. So, in this dream is the villain and brutal king of emotions, while nightmare is the poor hero who was tricked into eating the apple and got turned to stone for 800 years and has to gather a small faction (the bad sanses equivalent) to take down the king.

again Lucid and his backstory isnt really fleshed out at all but the reason he has one glowing eye is because he's like. all knowing (hence the name Lucid; being aware of the dream and controlling it) and has reign over both positive and negative emotions. I haven't decided what his powers are specifically but i think he uses them to deliver a specific, highly subjective and very brutal brand of "justice" to anyone who doesn't perfectly fit in that neat little box he considers to be morally good.

The vessel/Vess is very obviously the favorite child because i draw it a LOT and have infodumped about it like several times now. This is kinda the only character not from a specific au, kind of just an outcode. Or better yet error sans with a chara skin

the story of the vessel is basically that Gaster and Chara made an alliance and ended up taking joint control over the discarded vessel from deltarune. The vessel technically, secretly, is also its own person, though it never really gets a voice of its own until later.

the vessel's main goal is to gather up all the little gaster fragments through the multiverse. Though, with a long winded explanation I cant be bothered to type out, taking a gaster fragment from an AU leads to it being completely destroyed, which is why i said it's error with a chara skin. I think the vessel and error have a little rivalry going on, and sometimes (mostly when Gaster is fronting; he's a LOT more cooperative than chara) it teams up with Error against common enemies like Ink. Though, I think if Error ever found out the vessel's true goals he wouldn't be so willing to team up with it.

wow ok that was way longer than i thought itd be

[skelekins]

Heres my take on dreamtale that I worked out. Call it Deitale or Treetale or something.. Fruittale FruitcockTale

This first part is taken from an idea I had for a Haunttale.

Long ago humans and monsters had a great war, but the result of that war was not a prison below a mountain. The result of the war was a mass graveyard below the mountain, where all remains of the monsters were buried and forgotten after they were slaughtered. The magic in the dust of their souls seeped into the mountain; and without monsters in the world, all other magic dwindled.

Recognizing and regretting their faults humans began to return to the mountain to pay respects and honor to the dead and they built various little shrines. This positive flow of energy nourished the soul of the mountain. Charms and special foods containing traces of magic were potent enough to be taken away for up to a year before their effects wore away.

A tree had grown over the main hole that the corpses and dust had been thrown. It grew and grew was and considered a shrine itself. One day fruit began to grow on the tree, assortment and all different kinds.

Overnight the first fruit dropped and cracked open. From the fruit the first reborn monster stepped forth, fully formed as a young adult, with the knowledge of their duties ingrained into their soul.

Initially humans were afraid but it was found that the monster was extremely kind and powerful. They went out of their way to seek, protect, and heal the sick and weakened. They became deified as a mother to all.

And then the next fruit fell. And like before a new monster stepped forth from the cracked fruit. They were also very kind, but instead of healing they brought warmth, fire, and strength in family (found or otherwise). He was deified over the hearth.

When the heated monster stepped forth from their fruit, the initial monster bid goodbye to the people of the mountain. With a new guardian to protect the soulfruits, the initial one would go and spread their magics across the world.

And so the cycle continued. Anytime a fruit ripened and dropped, a new monster would step forth and their predecessor would leave to spread magic back into the world.

Not all births were so well received. Complacency and greed seeped into the humans that patroned the mountain and this bled over into the tree. An anxious monster was born, an angry one, a vain one. They all had their place and things they helped with, but the highlighting of their faults soured the humans.

And then the "apple" fell.

When the fruit split in two a monster stepped froth from each half. Identical and opposite to one another. Daydream bubbled with aspirations, ideation, the light of the sun, and general delight. Nightmare blanketed with sleep, contemplation, fear and anxiety, and the night sky. Fears and Aspirations. Balance personified in two.

The humans, while enamored by Daydream, found Nightmare to be repugnant as his presence made them more aware of their faults, fears, and anxieties, and they did not want to meditate on these things and deal with them. And with the other monsters that the tree had birthed, Nightmare was the straw of suspicion.

If the fruits were so powerful and starting to make dangerous beings, then the humans needed to have some kind of way to fight back. In their opinion.

With Daydream distracted, and an assumption he would take Nightmare who usually tagged along in the shadows, a group of humans approached the tree seeking to eat the soulfruits for their power.

Nightmare tried to stop them but as this was still an Undertale universe, and he was still a monster, he was bound by the laws of the world. The sinister intentions of the humans overpowered Nightmare, and his aggressive defense of the tree and violent confrontation "proved" to them that the tree was actually "evil."

So to stop anymore evil they needed to destroy it.

Nightmare tried to fight back, and his head gets dashed open in the fight. He is semi-conscious while they hack at the tree and fruits begin to fall. Unripe, they do not split open and reveal new monsters and souls, but instead begin to rot almost instantly.

Confused, hurt, angry, and upset, Nightmare does the only thing he can think of when he sees the soulfruits rotting. The souls dieing.

A fruit that carries the soul of a monster. Eating one is akin to cannibalism.

Nightmare devoured the quickly decaying fruit. Then another. and another. and it eats away at him from the inside. Its painful and his soul burns like acid. But he can't let the humans have them.

When Daydream returns its to Nightmare having melted with the terror and curse from having cannibalized his fellow monsters. He shoots Night out of a sense of duty to protect and fight off evil when he sees him baring down on the humans. After some fighting, Dream manages to get to the last fruit on the felled tree.

Instead of eating the fruit like his brother, he gently takes it into his soul to try to keep it alive.

Unfortunately this causes roots to burst from his own soul, anchoring his body in place, and petrifying his body. But not his mind. Or his soul.

Their universe responds poorly to this second magic-breaking event, and the universe itself shatters, helped along by different sects of humans betraying the other deified monsters and killing (metaphorically or literally) them.

-------

Nightmare and Daydream both technically died that day. Nightmare when his head was dashed open and he lost himself to the overpowering hatred, and Daydream when he sacrificed himself for the last fruit.

Despite the shattered reality of their realm and his own madness Nightmare visited his petrified brother twice a year. Once on their initial birthday, and again on their second birthday, the day of the "incident".

Inside the petrified Daydream the fruit of the unborn monster grows. After hundreds of years it is finally ripe enough, and the roots and stone finally crack.

That's it. That's what I got :) there's some gaps here and there but its the general idea I was happy with.

Original Dreamtale is by Jokublog Referenced - Apple Incident by TheGrinningKitten

[koreposion]

More about the 7th Twins and their relationship with their kingdom and Death

They are both very aware of their Godhood and disconnected with mortal worries. Death has taught them the importance of this because while they have no limits....they have no limits. And they could end up tearing everything apart before the proper time comes from them to destroy the tree.

Unlike the pair in the past they both plan to eat a random number of apples before the tree is destroyed. Death has told them that this will make their role in the multiverse more prevalent and noticeable. What they choose to do after this moment is up to them as it always has been.

He's just a guide, and so are the past pairs. Now because he found the cycle to be boring after the third time he's given the other three pairs journals so they can write notes about their lives. The pages are endless and they aren't able to be destroyed by anyone but Death.

Dream and Nightmare have access to all of them and once they're older they get to read them. Wars that their past selves had held over different reasons but there was a pattern that was the same. The villagers tore them apart, both of them became distant and this had consequences.

The thing that upset them the most is how they always seemed to drift apart. They didn't make any promises not to, but they strongly kept that part in mind. Also they used the books to stop potential events.

One was the witch hunt, in which Dream's worshipers were considered blessed and Nightmare's were cursed. Those who worshiped both were works of evil trying to temp people into being wild and untamed. Dream stopped this by over seeing his followers worship and encouraging the worship of them bother.

Nightmare did the same to make sure his followers didn't get any ideas about harming Dream or his followers. And perfered those who worshiped them both over all.

When it came time for the witch hunt period to begin, small groups did not have enough following their cause to take action Dream and Nightmare slaughtered them like pigs.

Then they've also stoppped Dream from being kidnapped multiple times by nobels who wanted to harvest his blood and sell it. Their punishments were public and they were fed pigs blood until they became bloated and then crows ate at their insides.

OH and they both started picking out their thralls once the reached their teens. Because they really wanted to have cool and dependable teammates when it came to working with the multiverse. Just like the ones that came before them, they would pick out a few Sanses, get them adapted to power, and then let them help out on missions.

Vsjsgskshs just Godly childhood thingz

okay!

undertale has alternate timelines (all i'm gonna say abt the main game in case u haven't played it/want to play it)

fans went "alternate timelines? what about alternate universes?" (AU = alternate universe)

underfell: au where monsters are meaner and more hostile. very edgy

notable characters: red/fell (sans), edge (papyrus)

underswap: monsters' roles are swapped (eg: sans and papyrus, asgore and toriel, etc)

their personalities are not swapped, but that is a common misconception/headcanon

notable characters: blue/swap (sans), blueberry (mischaracterized and infantalized sans. being reclaimed into some kind of gremlin. i honestly don't mind berry that much), stretch/carrot/cheeto/rus (papyrus)

dreamtale: au where. uh. it's complicated.

nim (not an undertale character) guards the tree of emotions. it has gold (positive) and black/purple (negative) apples. she is fatally wounded one day and turns one of each apple into a little spirit. dream, positive, and nightmare, negative. she copies the physical body of swap sans and puts them in there to give them a vessel. nightmare is bullied heavily by a nearby for being "evil", while dream is loved and adored. nightmare tries to prove he can be good like his brother, and tries to take a golden apple off the tree. it turns negative in his hands, and then he eats it. and another one. and he gets corrupted by negativity. there is only one golden apple left and dream takes it and uses it for his soul. he is then turned to stone for 500 years

^ yeag. also it's my favorite one OANFDAFDJALK (ily nightmare you did nothing wrong ever......)

dusttale: constant genocides, sans gets tired of it, starts killing everyone to get strong enough to fight the human.

notable characters: dust/murder (sans), phantom (papyrus)

something new: alternate timeline (!!!!!) where, after constant genocides, sans is offered a deal by chara. Something new. he accepts, and they kill the entire underground together. over and over and over.

notable characters: killer (sans)

horrortale: after the human leaves, letting monsterkind remain trapped underground, undyne becomes queen. they are running out of power for the CORE (powers + feeds the entire underground, VERY IMPORTANT). she tries to get sans to use his eye to fuel it, but he refuses. she forces him to (IT WORKS) and out of spite and rage, he destroys the CORE, plunging the underground into 7 years of starvation. monsters begin eating humans (due to sans telling them to) or each other.

^ comic is still ongoing!

notable characters: horror/axe (sans), paprika/sugar (papyrus)

xtale: ...

confession. i have never seen the xtale series. idk what happens. i'm sorry. if you want to find out, search xtale on youtube. watch the series by Jael Peñaloza (Jakei).

^ Jakei also created Underverse!! very good series, i do recommend you watch it.

Chapter Six: The Dance of Death (Michael Langdon x Reader)

The Angels Are Watching Masterlist

While Michael is searching for corrupted souls for his new world, a student at a catholic school catches his attention. Years later, you find yourself at the sanctuary with no answers on why you've been put there. When Michael arrives, he reminds you of your past together. All while, making your present life a living nightmare.

Warnings: 18+, smut, loss of virginity, blasphemy, and blood.

Reader is 18 when she is at the catholic school.

The squeak of the polish echoes off the walls of his bedroom. He slips on his black suit jacket as he looks at the mirror in front of him.

“That’s enough.”

The man quickly stands up from the floor at Michael’s command. The man regards him reluctantly before Michael gives a look that pierces right through him. He scuttles out as the Antichrist looks down at his shiny shoes. He can make out a slightly blurred reflection of himself.

“Are you ready, darling?”

Elena’s slinky figure comes into view as she stands against the doorway.

The clicks of their shoes follow them until they see the grand ballroom ahead. The room is lively, filled with noise and people. Elena unhooks her arm from Michael’s and says something about getting champagne for them both. His eyes scan the room, and he can’t help but feel proud of the ball he’s thrown for the people of the sanctuary. He decided that he should launch himself into his work instead of letting the grief of losing Ms. Mead eat him alive. He stares into the crowd of joyful people twirling around.

He catches her standing across the room, next to the drab looking man. She reminds him of Venus after she was birthed from the sea. Her face is melancholic, not realizing that her beauty is otherworldly. Her dress is pure white, decorated with little red flowers. They match the fake ones in her hair. For a second, he thinks about ripping her dress apart and having her in front of everyone, including Leo. She’s not an innocent girl anymore. But the amount of innocence she holds onto sickens him. He wants to destroy it.

He knows why she looks dismayed. And why Leo will barely give her a glance or ask her to dance. He’s already driven the wedge between them. She’s a china doll on a shelf that looks pretty from far away. But if you get close and look at her, you can see the cracks that are getting worse every day. She just needs one final push to send her crashing on the floor into a million pieces. And it will be his finger that topples her over. Staring at her, a conversation they had fogs his thoughts.

He could roughly see her face through the slits of the wood. She knew it was him in there. But he still felt her nervousness. Father Gabriel had asked him to help with confessions. At first, he was more than happy to oblige. But he soon got tiresome of confessions about using God’s name in vain or swearing. A few girls told him that they touched themselves, but that was nothing compared to what he wanted to hear. He was almost falling asleep until y/n sat down in the booth, waiting to confess.

He knew he should have left weeks ago. No one there was good enough for his new world, and he felt stupid for not having foreseen that. Girls threw themselves at him. But when he looked in their souls there was no real depth there. They were still God’s little creatures. They would tell him it felt wrong to do anything that meant losing their purity. They sucked cock, but they wanted to stay virgins until marriage. He wasn’t angry about the sex. He did defile a nun, and he was proud of that. Of course, the nun left the school in a hurry soon after that. He was angry that no one understood the stupidity of it all, the hypocrisy.

Then there was her. After he kissed her, he forgot about everyone else. She understood the problems with being stifled by religion. He knew her for such a short time, but he wanted to give her the world. He wanted to feed her an apple from the tree of life. She wouldn’t be punished for her sins; she would be rewarded. By him. His feelings for her scared him. He couldn’t stop thinking about her. He pictured them making love as the world burned from the fire he started. He wondered if marriage would be too archaic for his new world. Although, he wanted her to be Mrs. Langdon. The baby they created making her belly swell. He knew she would be a good mother because she would love their baby no matter what. Most importantly, she would love him no matter what.

“Bless me father, for I have sinned. It has been one week since my last confession.”

He could make out a slight smirk on her face.

“And what are your sins?” He also wore a smirk on his face.

“Hmm. I can’t think of anything.” Her voice was laced with sarcasm as she pretended to think.

“You can’t think of any sins you’ve committed in the past week? You must be a good little girl then,” he cooed.

He imagined her blushing.

“Well, this is no fun if you don’t tell me your sins. I’ve had to hear the most boring ones waiting for you to be next.”

“You were waiting for me?”

“Of course, I was, little one.”

“Sometimes I think just talking to you is a sin in itself.”

She peeked through the little openings to try and look at him. He smiled deviously at her comment.

“You’re not wrong, my love. But I think there is another sin you’ve committed this week.”

He could see the shadows of the pattern in the wood on her face.

“You know what we did. So why say it?”

“Because I want to hear those filthy words come out of your sweet mouth.” He spoke quietly, his voice becoming gravelly.

“You made me cum, she whispered softly.

“How did I make you cum?”

“You made me cum with your tongue… and your fingers.”

She had lifted her hand up to the slits in the wood. Her fingers traced the pattern.

“I finally got the answer to my question from so long ago.” He got closer and he knew she could feel his breath on her fingertips. “You know from when we first met. I asked you if you touched yourself. You must if you were able to handle two of my fingers like that.”

“Maybe I’m not a virgin,” she teased.

“You’re definitely a virgin.”

“I hope that’s not an insult.”

“I could never insult you, y/n. I just know you.”

She smiled at that.

“I’m chaperoning the dance that’s happening on Friday."

“You are? Why would you want to do that? It doesn’t sound like something you would enjoy.”

“It’s not. It sounds horrible. But if it means I get to sneak you out for a little while then I’ll do anything.”

“What if I would rather dance with one of the boys from the school across town that they’re bringing over?”

“You would rather dance at arm’s length with some teenage boy who probably has no sense of personal hygiene? I highly doubt that.”

She started to laugh which made him grin.

“Michael, you know I’ll go anywhere with you. I’ll even go to hell with you.”

“I like the sound of that.”

He brought his lips to her fingertips and kissed them until she was laughing again.

“I’m sorry to say little one, but you have to repent your sins.”

Her face fell as she stared at him.

“You have to touch yourself for me tonight and think about me. Think about what I’m going to do to you Friday.”

Her face lit up again.

“What are you going to do to me?”

“I can’t tell you, that would ruin the surprise.”

His smirk grew as he noticed her blown out pupils. She blew him a kiss before leaving him to deal with the next sinner.

She looks around the extravagant ball that is happening all around her. The room is bathed in candlelight as everyone around her dances and has fun. She notices the tower of full champagne glasses. The golden liquid sparkles in the light. She also notices the orchestra playing, or the lack thereof. Violins and other instruments are floating in the air and moving on their own. No one there to play them, but they’re making the most beautiful music. No doubt the trick is Michael’s. She spots him from across the room, sipping on champagne next to Elena. He must be saying something funny because she can’t stop laughing.

“Shall we dance?” Leo asks while barely looking at her.

He doesn’t wait for a reply as his fingers are on her arm, guiding her to the center of the chaos. Usually, she can forget about her problems when she’s with Leo. Instead, her problems have been at the forefront tonight. She put on red lipstick just to impress her date. Except when Leo greeted her, he didn’t say anything about how she looked. She stared in her mirror as she was getting ready and wondered if something is wrong. He has been cold to touch the past couple days. He’s starting to remind her of someone else.

She’s glad that he asked her to dance since that’s the only interaction the two have had since they entered the room. They dance along to the waltz among other couples circling around. Leo’s close, but not close enough. Every time they meet each other’s eyes he looks away. She decides it’s best to not even try anymore. She looks to her left and sees that Michael and Elena have joined everyone else in dancing. They seem content with each other. She looks back at Leo and sees that his eyes have been following hers. His jaw is tenser than it was before. She wants to say something, but before she can she bumps into someone behind her. The jolt forces her hand to slip out of Leo’s. He rips his body from her and storms away from the sea of people. She stands there mortified. The dizzying twirls from the people surrounding her leave her disoriented. She pushes her way through to run after him.

She finds him in the hallway, his arms crossed.

“Leo, what is going on?”

He takes a few moments, not looking at her.

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t be in there any longer.”

“You embarrassed me in front of everyone.”

She tries not to sound angry. But all the emotions from the past couple days are finding their way out. He laughs humorlessly.

“Did I embarrass you in front of him?”

She knows who he’s talking about but decides to pretend.

“Who?”

He’s looking at her now.

“Michael told me something interesting the other day.”

Her blood turns to ice.

“I’m not going to repeat what he said because it was honestly gross. The point is you lied to me.”

“How did I lie?”

He lets out a long sigh.

“Okay, maybe lying isn’t the right word. But you still didn’t tell me that you and Michael had history.”

“It’s not important.” Her voice gets quieter as his gets louder.

“It is. Because you obviously still have feelings for him. You told me you had never been in love, and I hope that’s true.”

She shakes her head trying to form words.

“It was such a long time ago. How do I have feelings for him? I hate him.”

“You answered your own question, y/n.”

She stares at him in disbelief as her eyes become glassy. He thinks for a second before speaking.

“Look, I’m sorry. I’m not trying to upset you. It’s just I feel like I’m falling in love with you.” He takes a few steps closer to her. “I get it if you still have some feelings to work out. I just want to know if this is possible.” He wipes a tear that has fallen from her eye. “Just tell me you would pick me over him. If he decided he wanted to marry you instead, you would say no, wouldn’t you?”

She opens her mouth, but nothing comes out. More tears roll down her cheeks. By not saying anything she’s made her decision. He steps away from her.

“I’m not going to be your second choice, y/n.”

“Leo…” She tries to protest but he silences her.

“I really thought you were different than everyone here. But you’re just like them. Actually, you’re worse than them because at least they can admit that they love him. Don’t let your obsession be the end of you.”

A sob escapes her mouth once he’s gone. She’s not sure if she’s crying because she lost Leo or because everything he said is true. The muffled music coming from the ballroom fades into nothing. She focuses on the harsh breaths coming out of her mouth. Instead of a dim hallway, she finds herself back at Emily Gray’s, lost in a memory.

Her white Mary Janes rubbed together leaving dirty scuffs on the otherwise speckless material. She fiddled with the hem of her dress, trying to find Michael. Her eyes searched the room, looking for a tall man who didn’t deserve to be in a place like that. Instead, all she saw were awkward teenagers swaying to the cheesy song playing. The boys and girls stayed apart, listening to the teachers about leaving room for Jesus. She started to think that he hadn’t shown up. That she’ll be stuck in the dark all night, waiting for the dance to be over. After doubt had crept into her mind, she dropped her eyes to the floor.

“We have to hurry, little one.” Dark shoes came into view as a deep, hushed voice made its way into her ears. “I heard Sister Anne caught some students making out in the bathroom. No one will see us if we walk out right now.”

She looked up and saw the refreshing face of Michael. His hand was reached out to her and it only took her a second to grab it and follow him out of the gym.

They rushed down the hall and sneaked into the quiet of the church. She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that no one saw them. Michael grabbed a stray chair and put it under the door handles.

“No one will bother us,” he said before placing a kiss on her cheek.

She smiled and took in the eerie beauty of the church at night. She had never been in there at that time of day. Candles were burning near the altar, leaving the room with an incandescent looking glow. She scanned the walls, feeling like the paintings and statues were staring at her. When she saw the Virgin Mary again, a shudder ran through her as goosebumps prickled her skin.

“You’ve noticed the eyes, haven’t you?”

She realized that he had been looking at her this whole time. When she doesn’t say anything, he continued.

“The angels are watching, y/n. The eyes of God are everywhere, and he’s always watching.”

“I thought you didn’t believe in God.”

“What do I know?” He shrugged his shoulders in exaggeration. “There may be a God. But the real question is, do you care what he sees?” He was circling her now like a predator about to eat its prey. “Would you let me fuck you under his eyes? Forcing the angels to watch us at our most carnal.”

Every time he talked like this, she felt tingles go down her spine.

“I don’t care who sees, as long as I’m with you.”

A smile shot across his lips. He takes a step so that his mouth is at her ear.

“Are you ready for this? Will you tarnish this heavenly place with me?”

“Y/n?”

Her head snaps towards the voice. She’s surprised that he’s standing there alone. She hopes he wasn’t looking too closely at her thoughts as that would be embarrassing for the both of them.

“Have you been out here this whole time?”

She notices that the sounds from the ballroom have vanished. There’s no muffled voices or music anymore. Where did the time go?

“Dance with me.” He beckons her with his hand open.

“There’s no music.”

She feels strange that he would suggest such a thing.

“Does it matter?”

She knows he’s not going to give up, so she gives in. She follows him into the empty ballroom. Wax runs down the candles falling onto the wooden floor. He leads her to the center and places a large hand on her waist. His fingers lace together with hers. She brings her other hand to his strong shoulder. Her eyes find his face and can’t help but stare into the glistening blue eyes she used to feel comforted by.

He starts to move his feet, so she has no choice to repeat after him. They sway and she can see that his eyes are on her face too.

“You know dancing can be dangerous,” he speaks quietly to her.

“How so?”

“People have died from it.”

“From dancing?” She quirks an eyebrow at his statement.

“It was in France, a long, long time ago. People in this town started to dance one day, and they wouldn’t stop. It lasted for months. Many people danced until they died. No one really knows why it happened.” He leans in and whispers, “It was the dance of death.” He goes back to where he was, staring at her. “This might be our dance of death.”

She looks at him for a while.

“You’re so dramatic. Poetic, but dramatic.”

He breathes out a laugh while she starts grinning. He stops smiling and speaks again.

“Why did Leo run out of here like that?”

She stops smiling too. She looks to a random part of the room. Anger starts to settle in her stomach.

“You know why.”

She looks back to him. He watches her carefully.

“I actually don’t.”

“Your jealousy ruined the only real friendship I’ve ever had.”

He regards her more coldly than he did before. “So, he was just a friend?”

“Yes, a friend.”

He nods and thinks for a while.

“I didn’t ruin your friendship, y/n. Has the thought occurred that maybe it was you who ruined it?”

She digs her nails into his knuckles, hoping to hurt him. He just smiles through the pain.

“You said to me that he doesn’t play games, unlike myself. But it sounds like you were the one playing games. Do people really sleep with their friends?”

She scoffs. “You’re one to talk.”

“I don’t have any friends. Believe me, I would rather not know the people I’m sleeping with.”

She purses her lips at his words.

“Were we ever friends?”

He stops moving forcing her to halt. His eyes linger on her and she feels like she’s baring her soul for him. She tries to figure out what he’s feeling. But the only things that gives any hint is the faraway look in his eyes and the slight downward of his lips.

“Michael, I’m-."

“Did we miss it?”

Michael and y/n immediately take a step back from each other. They find Jeff and Mutt walking into the ballroom with disappointed looks on their faces.

“Miss what?”

Michael has that disgruntled look on his face again. A look he usually has when he talks to Jeff and Mutt.

“Did we miss the ball?” This time Jeff is asking the question.

“Yes, it ended about a half hour ago. How did you two not hear all of the noise?” Michael asks with his brows furrowed.

“We were sleeping. I guess we slept through the day.” Mutt looks around, a concerned expression on his features.

“The apocalypse really fucks your sleep schedule up. I can’t tell if it’s day or night.”

“So, we just sleep when we’re tired.”

Michael walks right between the two men talking, bumping their shoulders on his way out.

“What’s up with Mr. Grouch?”

Jeff laughs as Mutt joins him. When they’re met with no response, their laughter dies down.

“Did we interrupt something?”

“No,” she answers quickly.

They raise their eyebrows at each other and mumble something. She notices Jeff start to eye her up and down.

“So, what’s your name?” He asks.

“Can you two just leave me alone for a while?” She tries to sound polite but her annoyance seeps through.

“Guess we found Mrs. Grouch.”

The two of them erupt in laughter at Mutt’s comment. They make a big deal about leaving but once they go, she’s finally surrounded by blissful silence.

Her legs feel like giving out, so she falls to the floor. She examines Michael’s drying blood under her fingernails. She licks experimentally at her fingertip. The slight taste of metal fills her mouth. Her eyes close and her memory from earlier saves her once again.

Their lips had found each other’s while they started to shed their clothes. Michael practically tore at her dress to get it off. The two of them were only in their underwear as Michael laid her down on the altar. Their lips were already swollen from the wet kisses they were giving each other. Michael dragged his mouth across her cheek to her earlobe. He nibbled on it before leaving spit-stained kisses on her neck. He stopped at her pulse point and sucked a little.

“I can feel your heart tremble,” he whispered.

She started to breathe heavier. He brought his hands to her chest, cupping her bare breasts. He kept his eyes on her as he played with her nipples. She traced the veins protruding out of his arm. She’s never noticed them before because he always wears long sleeves.

He latched his mouth around one of her hardened nipples. She moaned quietly at the sensuous feeling. His tongue massaged the skin before moving on to the next one. His fingers rubbed the other one, pulling at it a little, making her squeak.

“God is a lucky man if he gets to see you naked. Or if he gets to hear those wonderful sounds that come out of you.”

His voice was like honey, and his words made her even more soaked. He gave one final flick of the tongue to her nipple before hooking his fingers in her panties. She knew he could sense a bit of reluctance on her part, so he waited to pull them down.

“You want to do this, little one?”

She took a deep breath. “I’m scared that it’s going to hurt.”

He listened intently to her concerns.

“I’ll be the gentlest I can possibly be. But it will probably hurt a little bit.”

She nodded.

“I trust you. You’re the only person I would allow to cause me pain.”

A smirk appeared on his face as he pulled down her panties. He dipped a finger into her wetness. She let out a sigh. She had already noticed the bulge coming from Michael and she wondered how big he really is. He rubbed circles on her clit before squeezing two fingers into her. She felt him open the gap between his fingers, trying to stretch her out. More moans escaped her. He pulled his fingers out and took off the little bit of clothes he had left. She took him in, never seeing a man like that before. He was big. She wasn’t sure how he was going to fit. She took in his leaking, flushed tip. His veiny shaft leading to a tuft of blond hair. His lips were parted and his eyes dark with lust. The candlelight created shadows on his face making him look sinister. That’s the word she used to describe him when she saw him for the first time. It must be why she’s so attracted to him.

He used the wetness on his fingers to lather his cock, pumping it a little. She watched him from her spot on the altar. His curls had fallen in his face and all she could think about was how beautiful he looked. She wanted him, she needed him. He brought his cock up to her folds, dragging the tip and teasing her.

“Michael,” she breathed out.

He stared at her as he aligned himself to her. He pushed in a bit, giving her time to adjust. Her knuckles turned white from grabbing the sides of the altar.

“Does it hurt, my love?”

She nodded furiously.

“Do you want me to stop?”

“No, just keep going.”

He pushed in, little by little. He leaned down to give her kisses to try and distract her. When pushed in all the way, she heard a groan escape his throat. The burning pain started to dull. So, when he started to move his hips, she liked the way he felt inside her. The feeling of being this full was something new and delightful. She watched Michael; ecstasy painted on his face. The moans that came out of his full lips created a symphony combined with the noises coming from her. He put his face to her neck, breathing her in.

“You have the tightest cunt, little one. I think you must be made for me,” he rasped out in her ear.

She started to feel more pleasure when he brushed something within her. He knew what he was doing because he began to leave featherlight touches on her clit.

“Fuck, Michael,” she moaned out.

He moved his face to look at her. He began to pound into her, thrusting faster. His fingers pressed deeper into her bud. All she could concentrate on were his touches and the pleasure blooming inside her. The sounds of skin on skin filled the room, desecrating the church.

“I think I’m gonna cum,” she sighed out.

His thrusts started to get sloppier, and she could tell that he was close also. He hit something deep inside and that sent her over the edge. She moaned his name loudly as she came all over his cock. The clenching of her cunt made his hips stutter. He grabbed her hip as he felt his own release. No doubt leaving finger shaped bruises from the force of his grasp. She felt his seed go deep inside her. A bit of it spilled out when he took himself out of her. Michael put it back in her, using his thumb.

“Wouldn’t want to waste a drop of that.”

She smiled and looked at him. She looked down and noticed a bit of blood in her folds. His eyes followed what she was looking at.

“It’s normal to bleed when it’s your first time.”

He proceeded to lean down and lick a strip up her folds. She inhaled sharply from her sensitivity. Michael smirked, a bit of red staining his lips.

When she looked at him, she expected to see a pair of blue eyes. But instead, she found pitch black filling his eyes. She blinked and then they were back to the way they were. She couldn’t help but think of the nightmare she had. She decided to brush it off and blame it on the lighting. That was the only logical thing to do.

The two had gotten half-dressed and lounged on the altar. Michael sat up while she laid on him. His arms surrounding her. That was the only time he held her. She felt safe and warm. She looked up at him and realized that she wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. She felt the inklings of love. Only later she realized that was the night she fell in love with him.

The memory blows away like smoke coming out of a cigarette. She sits there on the floor, getting her white dress dirty. She looks around the grand ballroom. It makes her feel tiny like she is just a speck of dust that no one really cares about.

My problems with DreamTale

First off, i don't care if all of @jokublog 's hardcore fans come and witchhunt me. This rant is my opinion (+ facts) and why would i care if a bunch of random people i dont know hate me? In fact, go on and hate me! Hate me all you like! Everytime you interact with my blog in any way thats free promo for me. Also i don't care if DreamTale is independant of Undertale nowdays or not because it started out as an Undertale AU and i will treat it as such.

Anyway lets get to it.

Let's start at the beginning with the childhood of Dream and Nightmare. After Nim merged with the tree she left them behind without a proper caretaker and she put the responsibility of taking care of the balance between positivity and negativity on their shoulders. May i remind you that they were basically children back then? And when the village came to be (or it already existed idk one of these) no one, absolutely no one, decided "hey there's these two kids that are basically homeless and live by a tree! Why don't i care for them?" even if they hated Nightmare, someone would've surely taken them in. To the homeless factor, sure they were fine when it was dry but what the hell did they do during rain, storms or snow? You can't tell me that it never rained or snowed in DreamTale. That is absolute bulshit. Also how did Dream and Nightmare provide for themselves? Did they work? As far as i remember the thing with giving apples to villagers was unpaid. Did they have a part time job? If yes, oh dear- If not, did they steal? Did the villagers just provide them with everything they needed to survive for free? I need answers.

Then lets move on to something i literally did math on. The apple incident. The story goes that Nightmare ate 999 black apples under peer pressure and Dream ate the last golden apple. First off, 1000 apples on a tree? Max an old and big Apple tree can carry is 800. Oh well it's magic, who cares. It's only 200 off. But can we talk about how incredibly nonsensical it is to have Nightmare eat 999 apples? He ate them, not ansorbed them. Well lets do the math then! The average time it takes to eat a whole apple would be around 11 minutes, lets round it to 10 for simplicity. 10 x 999 = 9990 minutes. 9990 minutes = roughly 7 days. These villagers pressured a kid with a panic attack for 7 days straight to eat apples, and thats not even counting possible breaks! Do these people not have anything better to do that insult and yell at a crying kid for 7 days straight to eat 999 apples? And the thing where Dream froze up or smth idk whatever reason he had to not stop Nightmare. 7 days. He had 7 days to do something and he didn't.

So, after 7 days of forcing a kid to eat a stupid amount of apples he corrupts. The story goes on as usual and we fast forward 500 years to when Dream and Nightmare fight. How does Dream even have a slight chance? If we go with videogame terms i assume the apples boost the stats of the one who ate them, otherwise they'd be pretty useless if they only increased positivity or negativity each. Nightmare had 999 black apples plus the corruption that altered his mind and body. The man's pretty much an elder god. Before we continue, how did he not manage to take over the multiverse or destroy or it whatever his plan is in the past 500 years when no one was actively opposing him? Was he waiting for Dream to break free? Did he simply not try? What DID Nightmare even do in the past 500 years? Whatever. So we have pretty much an elder god and then theres Dream. He has 1 apple. If the apples make you stronger how can one apple rival 999? Does the stat boost not stack? If yes, i remember there being a thing where Dream and Nightmare protected the tree from bad people who wanted the apples for themselves. If more apples don't increase your strength whats the point again? Or are golden apples simply so OP that 1GA = 999BA? If yes, why did they give out golden apples to others then? Or did Dream simply have way higher base stats than Nightmare? Then that's unfair as fuck and Nim is an even worse mother than she already is. The 1 = 999 ratio is bulshit and makes no sense.

Then let's go to the fun part! The personalities and they don't make sense! Look, i can forgive their personalities at the beginning of the story because they were pretty much children but holy shit are they awful later on-

Let's start with Joku's favorite, Dream. Dream is as bland as a brick, dense like one too. His entrie character is "perfect uwu boy" and Joku acts like he has no flaws and would never do anything bad. Thats not the case and that is not how you write a good character. Why do y'all think everyone hates on Mary Sue characters? Everything resolves around them and their only "flaws" the creators gave them are that they're "too good for this world". And thats the same case with Dream. He has no personality other than that he's perfect and a good guy. The only character depth is that his brother is evil. Thats it. And it's not good character design. Funnily enough in the original story Dream has a shit ton of flaws that Joku decides to ignore lmao

Let's get to Nightmare, a character who only exists to be hated by everyone and even his creator. His personality did a complete 180° after the corruption and i don't mind that. But the execution is dogshit. The original Nightmare (from now on referred to as Passive) apperantly died due to corruption. That makes no sense? What? If a plant is corrupted with a parasite it'll eventually die, sure, but then the parasite living on it will die too. Thats entire point. Passive wasn't corrupted by a virus or fungus or whatever but it's still the same concept. The parasite needs a host. If the host dies the parasite is screwed. If Passive is dead, so is the corruption. Because it needs the soul and if Passive is supposedly dead, so is the soul. So the "Passive is dead and there's only corruption" is bulshit. He's dead in spirit at least. Moving on, apperantly Nightmare became sexist after the corruption? What? From what i caught up he gained alot of traits simply to make him hateable and that is not how personalities work? If he wasn't sexist before why would he be sexist now? Did a woman wrong him in some way or why does he hate all women all of the sudden? Everything in a person's personality can be explained with psychology. Give me me the psychological answer to this, Joku. I get other shit in his personality because he's quite literally traumatized by a life of bullying and abuse but what the fuck are these new traits that make no sense? Also i remember reading somewhere that he can't feel positive feelings anymore. That is quite literally impossible because not all feelings can be categorized as positive and negative. Too much of positive shit can also quickly turn negative. What about neutral feelings? Please someone explain.

There's a good reason why everyone rewrites these two to fit their interpretation of them. They write them in a way that actually makes sense on levels other than surface level.

Conclusion: DreamTale has alot of plotholes and flaws, but nothing that can't be fixed over time. Characters and stories develop over time and the longer you use them the better they get. Unless you stubbornly believe your first draft is the perfect version and refuse to change anything despite some critism here and there. I'm not saying that i hate DreamTale, quite the opposite. I love the concept and what the fandom does with it. I just hate the original execution and the fact that Joku believes that it's perfect the way it is when it really isn't. Dear Joku, criticism isn't a bad thing and can cause alot of improvement because you hear the opinion from people with different points of views. But you'll reach nothing if you stay in your echo chamber where everyone looks up to you like you're a god and agrees with everything you say.

Shiftverse Idea Ramble

So we all know of the Multiverses that Somewhat Switch up Roles of the Multiversal Sanses (or in some cases, Papyrus's now) or some like Dreamswap where it's Dream who eats the Apples instead, But what if there was an Au where Instead Ink and Error take Dream and Nightmares place and Ditto?

Well look no further than ShiftVerse!

ShiftVerse is pretty much an Au where the roles of the Sanses and AUs roles are Mixed up much like Story shift (which is actually sorta the inspiration of ShiftVerse) Ink is Dream, Dream is Ink, Error is Nightmare, and Nightmare is Error.

In place of Dream and Nightmares story, For Ink and Error, they are two Guardians (Error actually Formally known as Knitt's here), Ink Being a Guardian of the papers of Creation which could Create anything at the Whim of your pencil but couldn't Be controlled outside the Page and often Grew out of Control

And Knitt's the Guardian of The threads of Destruction, a Special Thread that Could Destroy anything It touched with the Whim of the Holder, Only downside is that it too should Destroy the Holder from inside out Till they Perished from the sheer power.

Ink was seen as the 'Golden' Child between him and Knitt's as ink protected something of pure "Good", while Knitt's was Despised and looked down upon for Protecting something of Such "Evil", Much like Dream and Nightmare's storyKnitt's was Bullied and Harmed for the unwanted but needed role of Destruction and that Knitts could degrade something's Durability but couldn't quite Destroy it unless it was already low 

Ink was Used as a Tool for the small fact that he could Repair things (but not Create)

Anyways, it goes on With Ink being Completely Clueless and Ignorant to Knitt's suffering till he Reaches his Breaking point where maybe if He's able to Hold one of the Pure Papers of Creation, he'll be seen as Equal to Ink, but due to Knitt's being of pretty much Pure Destruction, It ended up Tearing the Page into a Thread (Fabric paper? Yeah why not), aka a Thread of Destruction, to which It started Corrupting the other Pages (as of now idk if it'd also be a Tree or not but for story purposes why not) so in the Panic, Knitt's Tries to absorb the Threads in Hopes that it would Stop the other threads from being Corrupted, yada yada I think we kinda all know how Dream and Nightmares Story go, but in this one the Threads form in ways as Tear marks and a Blood like looking Line from his Mouth too, Ink meanwhile, Noticed the Commotion going on around the Tree and went to go check it out, Saw what was Happening, Tried to Stop the Villagers From Hurting and getting to Knitt's, kinda ends up Failing at that, at that point the Tree has been taken down and Knitt's has pretty much Absorbed most of the Threads, he ends up Killing the Villagers while Ink is Trying to Process wtf just happened, Ink Finnaly comes to his senses and sees there's a Last paper so he Quickly Grabs it and too kinda Absorbs it, the two fight, yada yada-, Ink is Turned into A Statue and then Knitt's goes off to Cause Havock on the Multiverse for 500 years

Now in place for Ink and Error's story, Dream is the God of Positivity and Nightmare the God of Negativity. Dream, like ink, is Soulless but due to his Positive Nature and Magic he actually Hides the fact really well

Nightmare is an Insane Egotistic Manic who's Goal is to Eradicate the World of Emotions by Draining the Essence of worlds and therefore draining them of their Emotions, he also believes he's better than everyone while being a Mistake at the same time. Anyways, Dream Typically Prevents or Restores a World's Essence when Nightmare Goes to Consume or take a Worlds Essence, though Typically the Frisks of the worlds (or whatever character the Protagonist might be in an Au) will be Rendered Emotionless till Dream Retrieves it from Nightmare since Nightmare can't consume the Essence of a Determined soul as they are way to Potaint for him actually to consume so the essence usually is kept within Cacoons of Negativity within the Void (just because, the Anti void and Void Are Also Swapped in this au hehe).

As on mentioning the Void, Like Error sort of, Nightmare had gone insane due to the Sheer Darkness of the Void and Corrupting Effects it had when someone Stayed within too long, for Nightmare that meant Goop-ifying him (and his goop is a dark Purple with Lighter Purple Accents)

So yeah Dream and Nightmare are Within this Internal war for a Long time till Ink is Freed from stone and Found by Dream to where they start the Nebula Sanses, Knitt's on the other hand started a Gang with Outer (Staring as Kills✨), lust (Staring as Dust), Fell (as Horror), and at some point Swap (who stars as Cross)

At some point Ink and Dream also recruit Cross at some point (who stars as Swap✨)
