#theyre nightmare's gang

[cafeeeeeeeeee3]

There is a song. It's called "apesar de você"(despite you) by Chico Buarque (I thiikikk) and it was written in the context of a dictatorship,,, and I,,, I think it fits some lil guys really well and I'm desperate to animate it, but not only do I suck at animating but I also,,, uh,,, only know how to do specific parts of it???

Btw the song is a dedicatory to the regimen in power at the time. It is one that fits a surprising amount of fandoms (and I hope it does not qualify as insensitive to repurpose it to something fictional), since it follows the idea of being really angry at it;

"despite you/tomorrow will be another day"

"when the moment arises/this suffering of mine/I'll make you pay with interest rates, I swear" (it is very very better in portuguese)

"you'll be bitter/seeing the day shine/without asking you for permission/and I'll laugh/because this day will come/before you expect"

"you, who invented sadness/well, have the courage/to uninvent it" (THINKING SO HARD ABOUT NIGHTMARE HERE. THERE'S ANOTHER VERSE THAT'S SMILIAR, A "you, who created sin/and forgot to create pardon" which makes me think about apples, because, y'know, sin. Not aure about how I'd go on about integrating it, tho)

There's so many verses that are so,, perfect?? They're so angry. Spiteful. And it is rightful, you deserve to be.

It's also so fucking chill, despite all of that; it's sad in emotion, but it also carries a certainty that >>>>>

Ghosts of the past!

Pssst, you can ignore this, but I wanna share it with you guys because I think you might enjoy it @ancha-aus @spotaus

Also, @mortallydarkbird , get your ass in here. You're reading this whether you like it or not.

"Nightmare, King of Negativity, Rulers of Emotion (mind the plural), is a prominent figure in the multiverse. He and his group are not... feared? They are respected and work under... a merciful deity. Huh. That seems... wrong, somehow. Ink truly does not understand why it feels that way. With the information he has been provided with, nothing about this looks off. So... what is making it feel like this???"

OR

I, Myeba, share the great ideas of my mind! So! Because I don't know how to word this properly other than BadSans(+Dream)-centric! Let's just go and list some facts about this!

So, what's wrong here?

Dream! Dream is what's wrong here!

This Nightmare is haunted by the undead spirit of his petrified twin!

Dream never got out of stone, his petrified body, overgrown with moss and greenery in some spots, stays in Nightmares private garden with their dead mother. (The castle is built atop the apple hill in Dreamtale, the destroyed, deserted village of their youth rebuilt and repopulated under their rule.)

Nightmares garden isn't the only area of the castle blocked off to everyone else. Every single room with a window that has a view into it is also forbidden, together with their connecting corridors. Dream stays there during the day.

Dream is, and will stay, a child. He lacks a physical form he can use due to being petrified, and because of it, Nightmare is forced to be a voice for both of them. That is also the reason for the title of Rulers of Emotion being plural, even if there is no one, but these two, who knows why it's like that. Dream is still the one who decides on things regarding positivity as he stays by Nightmare during any meeting that could require his presence.

When Nightmare goes to sleep, his spirit leaves his body while it rests. This spirit is also 6 years old and lacks half his skull. Nightmare did grow up naturally, though, even if he still looks like a child as a spirit due to unfortunate circumstances (cough basically death). Nightmare and Dream walk around the castle and cause slight shenanigans during this. They're mostly Dreams fault.

Dust can see ghosts and spirits occasionally, but they have not figured out how it happens. He has seen Dream and Nightmare running around the castle during his first few weeks when Nightmare didn't know about that. Dust is aware that something there is haunted and he thinks it's the castle itself, since he's never seen the spirits outside. He stopped seeing Nightmare entirely (because Nightmare is avoiding him), but still catches glints of Dream every once in a while when Nightmare isn't with him.

Killer and Horror know about the children as well because Dust has told them about them. They also know that Nightmare knows something, but they have been unsuccessful in getting the answers.

Cross is also there, but he's been in the group for far shorter so he doesn't know about Dream yet.

...They call the kids Yellow and Purple because they have no other way of addressing them. Dust has tried to communicate multiple times but Dream runs away every time due to being noticed.

Dream wants to befriend the group and spend time with them, especially when Dust shows up and actually sees him. Nightmare doesn't trust them enough for that.

The group has something akin to familial bonds, but Nightmare strictly excludes himself from it. He tries to be cold and distant. They know its a mask though. ...not Cross though. Cross doesn't and fully believes it because of past experiences.

Ink and Error are just 2 toddlers fighting over who gets to play with the pretty glittery pony, except the pony is attention and it usually ends with casualties. That is literally all I have about them.

Swap never left home! He's happily in his AU and while yeees he does know who Ink is and what the AUs are because the squid crash landed in his timeline one time (...or multiple times...many, many times.) he is not involved in anything concerning the multiverse.

Nightmare just collects unfortunate souls that remind him a bit too much of himself, victims of circumstance that didn't get a different choice if they wanted to survive.

The castle itself has many floral and nature inspired patterns in the stone. It is also heavily covered by plants anywhere that aren't accessible to those who don't live there, with some exceptions where it would make the room useless. Many corridors have vine ceilings or plants on the wall, but the kitchen, for example, only has a few controlled herbs in specific spots on and in the walls. The flora also doesn't even try to reach into private areas such as their bedrooms unless specifically encouraged to do so. (ex. Nightmares room) The group mostly doesn't want the plants there, though.

The entire group was pretty surprised when they moved in, because this was not what they expected, especially Cross who was very used to the formal and perfect visual that the part of the castle accessible to guests showed.

i have two live reactions(as my friends like to call them) this is one of them :D

(this is part 1/??? of this live reaction)

me: oh boy! my other friend wants to also rp their own nightmare time episode! let’s see how this goes :3

(@pastriibunz <— this is the friend btw go check them out :DDD)

[helmarok]

the running gag where jessie can't pronounce words, mixes them up, or doesn't know what they mean is one of my favorite things not just cuz its funny and cute that she says the wrong thing in full confidence, but how it reflects the difference between her and james' upbringing. of course jessie fails to understand basic words while james is a walking dictionary who speaks like a privileged nerd- jessie grew up poor with very little and shitty schooling while james had private tutors and probably an entire library 😭

TIAU Part 23: Nightmare and Error.

They both have crushes on each other, though both would rather die than admit it. So yes, the Creator does have more ships that are canon to this AU.

Nightmare want to only see Error as a subordinate and a lesser (despite Error not even working for her), but she can’t help it. Dream would say “You can’t stop love!” Though Nightmare would of course disagree.

Error wants to only see Nightmare as a partner, but the only partner their brain is seeing is romantic. Ink would tell her to calm down, it’s not that serious, but of course she can’t help it either.

DISCLAIMER: Error goes by she/they pronouns, so no, I’m not misgendering them.

Nightmare's living room is desolate, with only a couch and a big arm chair... And then he adds a rug, because kils keeps falling asleep on the floor... And then pillows on the couch, because Dust keeps complaining about his neck after falling asleep on it... And then blankets over the back of the couch and chairs, because Horror is always cold when he sleeps, and he keeps falling asleep in that armchair, watching over the others while they sleep... And then little lamps, because Dust gets headaches from the big light. Then plants, because Horror can't keep his gardening to the outside. Then more chairs, because Cross gets snippy when he wakes up to Killer laying on him on the couch...

And then they ignore the other chairs and all pile on the couch together anyway, in the most uncomfortable positions possible... So, he gets a bigger couch. So they all have a place to cuddle up together, with warm blankets, and soft lights. And maybe Nightmare makes a habit of falling asleep on the couch too, just so he can wake up to his boys curled up around him... (Dust's arm is in his face, killer is just splayed over his lap half hanging off the couch, because he has no concept of personal space, and Horror has Cross laying on his shoulder and they're using his stupid cape as a blanket instead of the many he's scattered across the room just for this...) So he can pull a blanket over all of them.

What would they do without him?

I just think, NM looking at his boys laid over the floor and couch with blankets and pillows and mess. They're all asleep, whatever dumb movie series they were marathoning on Netflix is paused by the "are you still watching?" Screen. They're all dead asleep.

Watching his pieced together little family, they look so peaceful. He pulls blankets over them, and turns off the TV. Then he looks at them, tucked in, resting together, some of them snuggled up together... and he cries.

What would he do without them?

One reason I love killers stages is cuz I get to microwave and poke at my lab rat from at least 4-8 vastly different angles and explore the Horrors behind each stage’s reason for being here
