I’m going to give no context and just post this shoddy comic strip about Ganondorf’s nightmare
#tears of the kingdom#legend of zelda#loz totk#ganondorf#link#totk spoilers#in some way#ganlink#this has absolutely nothing shippy about it#but I don’t want people to misunderstand what I’m about#I love it when they are each others worst nightmare#and greatest blessing#anyway#sleep paralysis link

Hey, I was wondering how to write nightmares, or sleep paralysis for my next story.
How to Write Nightmares and Sleep Paralysis
Causes of Sleep Paralysis:
Insomnia
PTSD
Anxiety disorders
Panic disorders
Disrupted sleep patterns (ex: jet lag)
Family history
Symptoms of Sleep Paralysis:
Paralysis (duh)
Feeling outside of your body
Chest pressure (as if someone is standing on your chest)
Sense of suffocating or breathlessness
Feeling like there is something dangerous in the room
Nightmares vs Night Terrors:
When having a nightmare, you are likely to wake up during it and will possibly be able to recall the dream or parts of the dream.
When having a night terror, you will not wake up and you won’t be able to recall the dream in the morning.
Symptoms of Nightmares:
Fast heart rate
Shortness of breath
Sweat
Anxiety
Struggling to go back to sleep
Writing Prompts
-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit
She felt like she couldn’t breathe. Her eyes darted around the room, quick as lightning. She could see the nightlight she kept in the corner, casting the far wall of her bedroom in a blue light. Then she saw it. It watched her with a thin smile. She tried to sit up, to scream, anything, but she was frozen. The thing noticed her distress, and it stalked towards her, limbs elongated and as dark as the shadows of her room.
He sat bolt upright in bed. His heart was pounding so hard he felt like it was going to break through his chest. He grasped at his shirt, gripping the fabric as tight as he could. His skin was slick with sweat, and he had to peel his clothing off.
They stared up into the eyes of something. It was standing on their chest, looming over them with an emotionless gaze. They couldn't move, their limbs stiff and refusing to listen to their mind pleading with them to run. And so they stared. And the thing stared back.
She woke up screaming.
He tossed and he turned, but no matter what he did or however many times he flipped his pillow over, he could not fall asleep. He was too afraid. Afraid of that same, damn, nightmare.
They ran a stressed hand through their hair as they tried to control their breathing. It was quick, and they felt more and more lightheaded with each passing second. There was nothing they wanted more than to go back to sleep, but every time they closed their eyes it was like they were transported back to that awful dream. They slowly pulled themselves from the bed and stalked to the shower. They knew there was no way they would be able to sleep again tonight, so they might as well start their day.

Paralysis Intruder
Seen in tandem with more regular paralysis episodes, specifically where the room has an unnatural throbbing or warping sensation, they tend to hang in the corners, quietly observing the situation or other Apparitions/hallucinations; they seem to increase the speed at which the episodes are experienced.
Looking at them directly can cause an uncontrollable dizzying frenzy. Desperately looking for facial features that they do not have; they don't seem to deliberately cause this. Attempting to make physical contact with them will give you phantom sensations for limbs you don't have; it's best to only look at them in your peripherals and avoid "contact.".
dream encounters, where they will end whatever was currently happening in the dream and forcing along a new cycle for you and them to experience; they do this by warping the dream with a mass of tendrils and pressing the environment into a whole new setting. This can happen a nauseating amount of times in one night. hard to say what they are looking for, but they enjoy listlessly moving towards experiencing whatever it is.

I forget what I said was canon for him, oops
The current fixation is him marking someone and then stalking them. They're the only one who can see him, and no one else is aware of his presence as he watches his victim from the shadows
Sometimes he appears to them in public, when they're walking through a crowd or walking down the street, briefly appearing and disappearing whenever other people pass in front of him or whenever his victim tries pointing a flashlight at him. Other times, he appears in their home; behind them while they brush their teeth, peeking through their barely cracked open closet or bedroom door, in their windows, so on and so forth
He enjoys causing fear and making them question their sanity. They'll try to reach out for help eventually, and when they do, no one will believe them. This will drastically increase the negativity they put out, in turn making him stronger
As the days pass, and their mental and physical health begins to weaken and deplete, he gets closer and closer, until they can feel his breath on the back of their neck. When he gets that close, falling asleep becomes a death sentence for them. As soon as they drift off, he'll be there to snuff out the last little bit of life that they have left
In the mood for spooky things again, for absolutely no reason
Time to start daydreaming about Lyzer, I guess
#sleep paralysis!nightmare#sleep paralysis nightmare#nightmare sans#rambles#as he gets closer he starts to look more excited. in a twisted; unhinged sort of way#he starts off looking blank and bored#but when he's right behind them he looks like he's going to burst from anticipation

Oh my god how have I not talked about nightmares yet?? It has to be one of my favourite tropes ever
Oh we have more than one bed? Too bad I had a nightmare come here
Nightmares getting so frequent that poor whumpee decides to straight up stop sleeping. Which. They obviously fail miserably at because now they're just collapsing in the middle of the day
Waking up screaming bloody murder and scaring the shit out of caretaker
Waking up screaming and making whumper even more mad <3
Not being able to tell if they're awake or not
Just sleep paralysis in general
Waking up from a nightmare convinced they're still in whumper's clutches
Having a nightmare where caretaker is hurting them and not wanting to explain why they're so skittish around them all of a sudden
Just.. ✨️nightmares✨️

The whumpee tries to rest after being saved. Sleep comes easily, but so do nightmares. What the caretaker thought was a cozy cover now becomes an overheating cocoon. They struggle and strain till their nightmares turn to sleep paralysis. No matter how much they try to move, scream, do anything, they’re still suffocating under the blankets. All the while, their brain tries desperately to lull them back to sleep, closing their eyes without permission.
It feels like hours by the time they’ve finally gotten free, but it’s been mere minutes. The caretaker still sits at their side, reading and none the wiser to the whumpee’s perilous “sleep”.

Does drew ever see pops or dogday having nightmares or the other way around. How do they help them
“We all do, on account of all the trauma, but we’ve got a bit of a system. Dogday is usually fine so long as he’s sleeping close to somebody, and physical touch usually takes his mind off a nightmare fast. Pops’ll wake up screaming sometimes, but a little bit of music or a small game calms him down; something to focus on. As for me, well…”
“By the time I remember where I am, I’m already distracting myself. And once the others are awake, I’ve forgotten. I don’t mean to hide it, but it just slips my mind. Besides, we have other things to worry about, like Catnap’s gangly ass.”
#Drew canonically has memory issues and executive dysfunction#because I said so#does anyone else get sleep paralysis after nightmares?#like you’re awake but your body and brain haven’t realized it yet#so you Jsut kinda lay there in purgatory until something stimulates your brain enough to to ‘oh wait I’m conscious’#it’s really annoying tbh#like bRO am I asleep or not?#phrart#art#ask the three d’s#the three d’s#Drew poppy playtime#dogday poppy playtime#dogday#daddy long legs#daddy long legs poppy playtime#poppy playtime#poppy playtime chapter 3#poppy playtime fanart#also for timeline things!#until I actually get to drawing the whole Catnap boss fight thingy#all of this takes place after the Playhouse and before the boss fight#Drew and the others have made a tiny Safehouse under the statue in Playcare since Catnap’s big ahh head can’t fit through there#Poppy and Kissy are there too but they’re not the focus of this#also Drew with his hair down???#having it up so often gives him headaches :(#(yes even though it’s literally just a headband)#(sensitive scalp mfs)
