can I hear more about the AM you are making? I saw you put an ask about it for avj and holy crap it sounds amazing! anything else you are willing or able to share?

I’m glad you asked! I’d love to share about DreamShift!

It’s inspired by the concept of swapping the roles and personalities of different Sanses, like in DreamSwap, SwapDream, etc etc, but instead applied the StoryShift twist, where characters shift roles and they retain the majority of their original personality.

The Sanses, and the order they were Shifted, are as follows: Geno - Dream - Error - Fell - Cross - Reaper - Nightmare - Ink - Fresh - Swap.

They create this lovely cast of personalities:

Dream!Geno (Life): a Geno that never got turned into Error, travels the multiverse to protect the lives of AU inhabitants. Has become a leader of his Multiverse’s equivalent to the Star Sanses (they’re not gonna call themselves that)

Nightmare!Reaper (Death): a Reaper that went mad and now goes from AU to AU to kill its inhabitants so he can “make all the noise stop.” Has a few followers, all of which are mass murderers in their own right.

Error!Dream (Hope): a Dream that got trapped in the Antivoid after a fight with Nightmare. He escaped before being completely Errorified, but his mind was still damaged by the experience. Travels to and destroys negative AUs, and has a savior/god complex. Used his powers to manipulate some inhabitants of the Omega Timeline to serve him before being banned by Core Frisk. (His eye sockets sometimes glitch out if he gets too emotional)

Ink!Nightmare (Despair): a Nightmare that got trapped in the void after a battle with Dream and wasn’t able to access negative emotions for a long time, becoming incredibly weakened. Eventually escaped and landed in HorrorTale, and was taken in by the HorrorTale skeleton brothers. Now protects negative AUs from Hope and uses HT as a home base of sorts.

Fell!Error (Error): a post True Pacifist Fell that got Errorified. He escaped but not before his Frisk Reset and a replacement of him was created. There was some confusion but he was welcomed to stay. He avoids multiversal conflicts and only cares about protecting UnderFell.

Fresh!Ink (Fresh/Freak): An Ink that got possessed by the Fresh parasite. It’s Fresh but more dangerous. His outfit in this multiverse is based off of Ink’s redesign rather than his classic look.

Cross!Fell (Flower): a FlowerFell Sans who absorbed the soul of his Frisk after monsterkind was freed from the underground and she perished. Now travels between AUs and works closely with Life.

Swap!Fresh (Blank): the last Fresh host before the parasite jumped to Ink. The only host to not become brain dead from being used as a host. Aimlessly wandered for a bit before being taken in by Life. Wants to save Ink.

Reaper!Cross (Black): was found in his dead and broken AU by Death and was taken in. Now works for the corrupted god. Abandoned his old jacket and cape(?) for a large black cloak. Still wants to find a way to bring back his AU. (His scar is under his left eye in this AU)

Geno!Swap (White): (based primarily off of @skesgo’s Reset!Blue) A Swap Sans who’s world was irrevocably damaged by his Chara’s countless Resets. The experience even turned his clothes black and white. Wears his brother’s jacket, the only part of his clothing with any color left, as a waist cape. Was rescued by and now works for Life. His right eye socket is a little cracked, but still functional.

Life, Death, Hope, and Despair create what I refer to as “The Big 4.” Basically the quartet of the most influential characters in the multiverse. We have a guardian and a destroyer who care about the AU more than the inhabitants: the roles of Ink and Error, and we have a guardian and destroyer who care more about the inhabitants than the AU: the roles of Dream and Nightmare. Despair, Hope, Life, and Death each fill one of those roles.

Freak took Ink’s body because he figured it was his best option for a host body that would be the most difficult to kill. Also his main weapons are Spray Paint Cans that can either shoot paint or be used like grenades. He keeps them in a Fanny pack that functions like a bag of holding.

If you have questions about any of the specific characters, or even questions for them, feel free to ask away!
