TNMN tier list!

The Nightmares Edition: Do they hate humans?

Explanations under the cut:

Would like to see humanity crumble to dust in the palm of their hands

Shub Niggurath and Xezbet Xerbeth: Is nothing personal, they would say. But if humanity disappeared tomorrow they would celebrate. Big time. You know what they said: The best moment was in the past and the second best one is TODAY. Mind you, according to Shub, she feels that Xezbet doesn't even try to work towards his goal because he thinks he already won.

Would like to see humans in agonizing pain

Abducius Morail and Teutates Taranis: Between the two, Teutates is certainly the most merciful, he kills quick and he kills en masse. Abducius on the other hand, likes to take his time and make sure people FEEL something. Basically, quality vs quantity.

Wouldn't kill (Unless they want to)

Exael Lanithro, Yan Luo Wang Diyu and Ah Puch Xilbalbá: Exael can certainly be... an experience, he always reassures to his victims that whatever he does is purely professional; when he's not torturing humans, you can hear his thoughts echo throughout the torture chamber, they can either be calming and interesting or the most disturbing shit you have ever heard. Only kills when he is bored with his victims, but he's usually quick with that one. Yan Luo is the same as Exael, whatever she does is purely professional, she doesn't meddle feelings, or at least she tries to; because there have been people in which she has taken their lives away from them because they had provoked her wrath. Ah Puch as being as rowdy and uncontrolled as he is, to him, what matters most in the art of bone breaking is who actually deserves it, which to him is most everyone tbh; with some people a broken arm is enough punishment while others need to have their skulls smashed.

Neutral

Anazareth Anazarel, Chaugnar Faugn, Drugia Fleuretty, Izanami Yomi: Anazareth honestly couldn't care less about humans, but she does act like she's above them. Chaugnar holds nothing against humans, but his job goes above everything and his word is sacred. Drugia, more than evil, she's naughty, she just loves to mess with people, she doesn't hate anybody but to her, free entertainment is more important. Izanami is very lax and only targets certain people, if you aren't in her radar of victims, she simply doesn't give a shit about you.

Have some relation with humans

Quachil Uttaus, Yog Sothoth: Quachil is often the one that observes from afar but that doesn't mean she has never come in contact with the human realm, she's multidimensional and somewhat omnipresent after all. With that being said, she acts more vigilante than anything, and brings misfortune to anybody that she deems fit, yes, even people who have been previously spared from it. Yog has had the tendency to follow Barbatos around in his huntings and Barbatos, as to "make this guy useful for once" often uses him as bait to lure humans towards him. When he's not "working" with Barbatos, he often goes around terrorizing random people (kinda like Drugia) but when he needs to eat, he holds no barrens.

Interested in human life

Ishtar Ereskigal, Lilith Lilitu Lilit, Barbatos Barrabam: Ishtar is quite knowledgeable in human history and has extensively studied great historical plagues along the years; she knows where to hit humans. Lilith, being an undead and having previously lived among humans, she knows how do deal with them, what scares them what they like and how to approach them. Barbatos is pretty close to humans, as his job so dictates, so he had his fair share of experiences with humans; but he would be lying if he said that he has never given second chances to humans or listened and participated in their conversations.

LOVES Humans

Dagda Crom Cruach and Zoth Ommog: Dagda tends to hang around a lot in farm houses, the taller the grass/wheat/corn fireld, the better. He likes to see humans living their lives, even after being born from tragedy. Of course, he doesn't let himself get caught by people, the few times he has gotten caught, he terrifies everyone with no exception. Zoth is uuuuuuhhhhhhhhh... he likes humans, he thinks they are all just a bunch of funky little dudes and stuff. If you wanted to join and assist in any of his rituals, he would gladly let you participate (even if you were one of the preparations for the rituals); other than that, if he REALLY likes you, you might get extra priviledges around the Astral Circle or he might give you the praying mantis treatment, whatever he feels like doing.

Oscillates between two or more

Nyogtha Z'mog and Orcus Dis Pater: Their stories can't get more complicated™. Nyogtha being the victim of a particularily gruesome death when she was a human and after she was revived through very unethical methods, she was initially on the very top tier and was helbent on having humans die for once and for all. Eventually, the more she dealt with human graves, the more she was able to see herself in some of their deaths and helped her regain some humanity. With time, her hatred died down and is now more neutral towards humans. Orcus bears a really fluctuated view on humans, he switches from absolute undridled hatred to infautation on a whim, nobody is sure onto why he suffers from such changes, Chaugnar has speculated something regarding a past life but nobody knows for sure. Most of the the time he can be found in the "Have some relation with humans" tier.

SHUB 🐍✨

[hellosweetart]

How Romantic ❤️

"Oh my darling...I have been following you all night. May I please have a kiss?" 🌹

"Yes you may, dear." ♥️

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Oh crap it's a bad dream 😫

The Pranksters:

Notes: Original Character - Maximiliano Villavicencio belongs to @hasanawolf This OC character has a crush on Mia but is not pursuing her romantically.

I am not a fan of shipping OCs to TNMN characters who are either canonically married, engaged or in a relationship, but I do find this funny and sweet. Inspired by Looney Tunes humor: Hollywood Steps Out.

Hope you guys like it!

THE TNMN NIGHTMARE MODE SHIPS TIERLIST HAS BEEN MADE ! So far at 25 ships

DISCLAIMER ❗❗

I only added Lilith/Anaz, Barb/Exael, and Puch/Teu simply so I can block anyone who likes the ships, I do not like those ships simply because it hasn't been confirmed yet if familial relationships are the same in nightmare mode

Please tell me any ships you want me to add !

My tier

[helloaft0n]

How I think each nightmare sleeps like

If they even do

Xezbeth Xerbeth:

Sleeps standing up, somewhere in literal complete darkness, he likes the darkness

Drugia Fleuretty:

Doesn’t sleep, likes to terrorise people by giving them nightmares

Barbatos Barrabam:

Can’t close his eyelids, so I don’t really think he sleeps, at all

Exael Lanithro:

Too busy to be able to sleep, but if he does sleep, he likes to sleep near human carcasses, or somewhere that has a torturous like atmosphere

Abducius Morail:

His eyelids are basically forced open, but he still sleeps, he just sleeps with his eyes open

Lilith Lilitu Lilit:

Sleeps like a cat, curled into a ball, she doesn’t care if she sleeps on the floor, on the bed ETC.

Anazareth Anazarel:

A little picky about where she sleeps, but most of the time she sleeps like a normal human being in a normal bed (not really normal in the nightmare world ig)

Chaugner Faugn:

Probably sleeps like an actual elephant, sometimes outside aswell

Nyogtha Z’mog:

She likes to dig herself her own grave, and then sleep in it, and maybe even bury herself (she sleeps minus the coffin)

Zoth Ommog:

Sleeps underground (like an actual worm), he’s a heavy sleeper, no doubt

Shub Niggurath:

Doesn’t sleep, the snakes on her head don’t let her

Yog Sothoth:

Probably sleeps in a fancy ahh bed, light sleeper, literally even a sneeze can easily wake him up, and he ends up staying awake for a few more hours after that

Quachil Uttas:

Can’t sleep, just honestly can’t sleep at all (no eyelids)

Yan Luo Wang Diyu:

Doesn’t like to sleep, says “it’s a waste of her time”

Orcus Dispater:

He sleeps like a baby, he likes to also take his suit off prior, before going to sleep

Ishtar Ereskigal:

Sleeps like a baby also, she also sleeps with bugs surrounding her, maybe even a duvet made out of bugs or smth

Teutates Taranis:

Sleeps with his eyes open, sometimes freaky to see

Ah Puch Xilbalbá:

Also sleeps with his eyes open, his snores probably come out as small, metallic little breaths, after all, he has spikes in his mouth, so….

Dagda Crom Cruach:

Likes to sleep in different farms, he ends up knocking off the scarecrow already hanged up, and he just goes to replace the scarecrow as himself

Izanami Yomi:

Likes to spy on other nightmares sleeping, honestly she’s just looking out for them, too lazy to sleep, she says…

Now, seriously, I’ll be gone for a few months

(Maybe)..

TNMN (possible) heights hcs 2: Electric boogaloo (Nightmares edition)

I had forgotten so bad about these! Darling, @gabbbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy had asked me about these a long damn while ago and I never did, I'm so sorry 😭

So to explain a little: Not all of them share heights with their canon counterparts. As some of them aren't human, well, they get really big because they don't obey common human limits.

Also, I never mentioned it but Zoth is a shape-shifter.

Sorry my gay ass fell asleep but ok ok. Gonna start with the hierarchy first because I think about it too much.

The Horsemen are all technically the rulers (Yan Luo, Shub, Ishtar, Teutates), but since the place they live (which is honestly just more of a small village with a huge castle where all the Horsemen live) is owned by Yan Luo's family she technically holds the title of ruler. As I said in my headcanons post she is the youngest because Death and War are hereditary titles (Death and War tend to leave no survivors and be generational. Famine will keep whoever is causing the famine alive, and Pestilence requires creation and life). When the Horseman title is passed down, the next in line will be "branded" with a magic sigil which allows the older Horseman to transfer their powers. A Horseman cannot die when holding the title, but once they give it up they very much can die. Consorts are anyone with relation to the Horsemen, be it family or lover. They are required to have the symbol of their Horseman somewhere on their clothes or an accessory, and it is a sign of great disrespect to align yourself with a different part of the apocalypse. Next are ritual performers who. Perform the rituals or provide sacrifices (Abducius used to sacrifice people but in my version one of the fankids I made took over). These three upper rungs are privvy to information the general public doesn't know. Common Nightmares are everyone else. The extra guys (Chester, Clown, Nightmare Clown, Mask Ghost) aren't part of their society, and dopples are regarded as animals. 42 and Peach Peach are just. Outdoor cats you aren't supposed to feed.

Alignment is just which part of the apocalypse you aling yourself most with. Death is the absence of change and. Death. Pestilence is creation, Famine is constant change and being able to handle it, and War is destruction. You can choose to wear the symbol of the Horseman you are aligned to, but it often doesn't curry you any favours and can even make people just. Really mad at you. So most people do not do this.

There are marks you can get that do magic things though! Yan Luo's handmaidens and Teutates' army all have magic sigils on their shoulder blades so they can be easily summoned by their respective boss. Summoning people they know is something all Horsemen can do, but it takes a lot of energy and focus so having it as a button press is just so much easier. Other Nightmares can also create marks, but those take a lot more power and time, so most won't. You can also create charms to override any magic placed upon someone by a Horseman.

The group has a sacrifice every full moon to replenish their power. Everyone must attend because in order for this to work in any capacity the power must flow through each member of the Nightmares, completing the "circuit". There are also week long festivals dedicated to each Horseman because. Again they are really important. Spring has a fair with games and such, and Ishtar's special ritual includes no sacrifices. Summer has a week long feast with a mass sacrifice right in the middle so they can have meat. Fall has the tournament where a bunch of humans must fight both themselves and occasionally a Nightmare, and the winner fights Teutates. Winter has a week long funeral, concluding with a final sacrifice to start the new year. Also, each Horseman has a certain thing they go through each season, and all of the other Horsemen are affected but people with opposite seasons (Yan Luo and Shub, Ishtar and Teutates) are less affected. Yan Luo does into a deep depression each winter, Ishtar gets a certain way, Shub gets ravenously hungry, and Teutates is consumed with bloodlust. This also affects the rest of the nightmares too, just also to a lesser extent.

Going back to the Mask Ghost I just want to say I think she is a victim of the Nightmare Clown and now is forced to ask to be let in but never stay.

Also! In my version, the Nightmare Realm is a real place because my doorman character (the dOOrman) is connected to like. My pantheon of gods. They are also not human, they are a type of extra dimensional being known as a Contrivance which are beings created from the pure hope someone will come to save them. That's why they are a doorman! But yeah they had intrusive thoughts so bad they created a whole pocket dimension (I personally think the Nightmare versions are how the outside world perceives each of the neighbors so. Yeah :). ) They still aren't a human in the nightmare realm, they are an angel. A different kind of angel to Quachil though.

That should be it for now but. If you have any questions. You can totally ask :3
