i like the idea that dream and nightmare project their magic in visually different ways. nightmare is capable of morphing their form to be anything they want which includes the tentacles. dream, however, keeps themself in a mainly "normal" skeletal/humanoid form. i havent seen many depictions myself where dream utilizies that shapeshifting ability. (i did see a cool design where dream had glowing tentacles despite having the same positive guardian role)

i am curious abt where dream being depicted with wings comes from. was it swap dream or something else? i honestly found it fascinating how dream with wings played into the whole "angelic" depiction dream can have. guardian angel. just. angel.

my own headcanon of the wings or tentacles that dream or nightmare project coming from an intense magical influx from consuming the apples aside, it is cool to see those features toyed with

aand last but not least - I don't have any refs yet, but I can offer you all some concepts for some upcoming WOF designs! :D (They're free to draw as concepts, but please credit me and show me!! The final design may change ever so slightly but not a lot probably - Moon is not a new design, just being redone ever so slightly!)

Willow, Sundew, Moon and Freedom!

i love this collection of images in particular bc of the comic bits. and just cross being :( a little guy emotionally destroyed over them i think. more cross stuff to roll over in my brain. im normal. why is he so pathetic yet so dangerous

heres my collection of cross being a pathetic loserboy

(a lot of these posts arent avaliable anymore so my finding them is mostly bc ive been looking through other blogs + also theres a file limit so these arent all of em)

HES TRANS I SAID SO BTW VVVVVVV

ok back to him being a loser who isnt loved by his dad

gang i think this is manipulation (yelling at a kid then comforting them isnt the makings of a good parent ngl.... lowk familiar to me....)

cross when he sleeps outside at the age of 6

WHO THREATENS THEIR CHILD LIKE THAT (xgaster does thats who)

pov xgaster is about to beat his children but someone shows up leaving his children alive for another day (crazy how we ignore the LITERAL, HEAVILY IMPLIED ABUSE)

he cries so much for someone people make into a dominant grr alpha male. this is literally a crybaby. like an actual crybaby. nobody does anything with this information. he is the most pathetic stupid idiot boy ever and he needs to be tucked into bed and given a kiss on the forehead and a warm glass of milk

oh hey heres a comic about cross' deadname being called sans

it gets like so much worse btw

the way iwould never recover from my brother who ive been trying to revive for so long calling me a murderer. i mean the full comic has a joke ending because jakei hates me specifically but i didnt save it so. whoopsies. anyway

cross literally wants to be held idk how we dont see that

I HAVE MORE BUT THERES A FILE LIMIT!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!?!??!?!??! so this is all u get for the time being soryz

daniel has made it clear for the last two years that he doesn’t want that he isn’t ready to give it all up, that’s why this hurts so fucking much because he has so much more to give and wants to do it

I hope you brush your teeth after this cause it is tooth rotting fluff, I genuinely couldn't stop myself, I just love Chan so freaking much 🥰

The dorm was unusually quiet that afternoon. Most of the members were out running errands, leaving Chan and Mn alone with the kind of peace they rarely got to enjoy. It should have been the perfect opportunity for Chan to catch up on some work or maybe relax, but Mn had other plans.

Chan was sitting on the couch, laptop balanced on his knees, headphones on, completely immersed in fine-tuning a track. His brows furrowed in concentration as his fingers flew across the keyboard. Across the room, Mn was sprawled on the floor, chin propped on his hands, watching Chan intently.

For a while, Mn stayed quiet, but his patience wore thin after ten minutes. He rolled onto his back, groaning dramatically. “Hyuuuuung, I’m bored.”

Chan didn’t respond, too focused on his work.

“Channie-hyung,” Mn tried again, louder this time, dragging out the syllables of his name.

Still nothing.

With a huff, Mn pushed himself up and padded over to the couch. Standing beside it, he leaned in and poked Chan’s cheek. “Helloooo, earth to Bang Chan.”

Chan finally pulled one earbud out, glancing at Mn. “What’s up, agi?”

“I’m bored,” Mn said, pouting. “Pay attention to me.”

Chan smiled softly, shaking his head. “Just give me a few more minutes, Mn. I’m almost done.”

Mn crossed his arms, clearly not satisfied with that answer. “You said that twenty minutes ago!"

Chan’s grin widened at Mn’s whining, but he didn’t budge. He turned back to his laptop, ignoring the way Mn was now dramatically sighing behind him.

Undeterred, Mn circled around to the front of the couch and flopped down beside Chan. He poked at Chan’s arm, tugged at the sleeve of his hoodie, and even tried to close the laptop at one point.

“Mn,” Chan said, his tone warning but still laced with amusement.

Mn only grinned in response, grabbing one of the strings on Chan’s hoodie and twirling it around his finger. “You’re ignoring me.”

“I’m working.”

“You always say that,” Mn retorted, his voice edging into a playful whine.

That was the final straw for Chan. With an exaggerated sigh, he snapped his laptop shut and set it on the coffee table. Before Mn could react, Chan grabbed him by the waist and effortlessly pulled him onto his lap.

“Hyung!” Mn squealed, laughing as Chan adjusted him so he was straddling Chan’s thighs. “What are you doing?”

Chan didn’t answer. Instead, he cupped Mn’s face with both hands and leaned in, pressing a firm kiss to Mn’s lips. Mn’s protests died immediately, replaced by muffled laughter as Chan kissed him again and again, even moving to his nose, cheeks, eyes, anywhere he could reach.

“Still bored?” Chan asked between kisses, his tone teasing.

Mn couldn’t stop giggling, his hands coming up to cover his face. “Stop!” he said, though his laughter made it clear he didn’t mean it.

Chan grinned, gently pulling Mn’s hands away. “Nope. You wanted attention, didn’t you?”

Mn tried to glare, but his flushed cheeks and wide smile ruined the effect. “You’re so annoying,” he muttered, though the affection in his voice was unmistakable.

Chan chuckled, resting his forehead against Mn’s. “Says the one who’s been poking at me for the last half hour.”

Mn huffed but didn’t move. Instead, he pulled his sweater sleeves over his hands and cradled Chan’s face with them, his thumbs brushing against Chan’s cheekbones.

“You’re too adorable,” Chan murmured, his voice softening. “How did I get so lucky?”

Mn’s grin widened at the question. “It’s just the luck of the draw in the deck of life,” he said dramatically, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

Chan laughed, shaking his head. “Well, if that’s true, then I managed to pull the king of hearts.”

Mn’s lips twitched, and he tried to hold back his laughter as he stood up. “Wrong, hyung, that's you.” he called over his shoulder as he headed toward the kitchen.

Chan raised an eyebrow, already smiling. “Oh? And what did I get, then, if you're not the king?”

Mn turned around at the doorway, his grin turning cheeky. “You got the joker.”

Chan froze for a moment, pretending to be offended. “The joker?” he repeated, standing up slowly as his smile morphs into a smirk.

Mn’s eyes widened, and he immediately started giggling. “Hyung, wait, no—”

Chan was already moving, crossing the room in a few quick strides. Mn let out a squeal and bolted into the kitchen, his laughter echoing through the dorm as Chan chased him.

“You’re in for it now, baby boy,” Chan called, grinning as he caught Mn by the waist.

Mn burst into uncontrollable laughter as Chan hugged him from behind, spinning him around slightly before planting a flurry of kisses on his cheek and jaw. “Hyung! Stop! I’m sorry!” Mn said between giggles, though he didn’t sound sorry at all.

“Not a chance,” Chan replied, laughing along with him. He tightened his hold, burying his face in the crook of Mn’s neck and pressing one last kiss there for good measure.

The atmosphere was warm and light, filled with the sound of Mn’s laughter and Chan’s soft chuckles. For Chan, there was no better feeling in the world than moments like this—holding Mn close, hearing his laughter, and knowing he was the reason for it.

As Mn finally caught his breath, he turned in Chan’s arms, wrapping his own around Chan’s neck. “You really do love me, huh?” he teased, though his tone was softer now.

Chan smiled, pressing a gentle kiss to Mn’s forehead. “More than anything, my precious Joker.” he said honestly.

Mn’s smile softened with a gentle chuckle, and he tightened his arms, his hands moving slightly to the back of Chan's head to lightly play with his hair. “Good, My King,” he murmured. “Because I’m keeping you forever.”

Chan chuckled, holding him tighter while lightly touching his nose to Mn's before resting his forehead against the others. “I wouldn’t have it any other way, baby.”

[m1lkt00th]

looks to my left. looks to my right

cross is a huge fucking crybaby. like he’s almost always on the verge of tears and i feel like that gets scrubbed out in most fandom spaces to make him the “stoic, emotionless and goal-driven solider” for the story. like im not trying to be mean for pointing out the mischaracterization but it is undoubtedly present. like it would make sense for someone that experienced what cross has (losing his family, getting manipulated by his former best friend’s sibling, realizing your abusive father was GOD, etc.)

i havent seen it in a while but the earlier cross ship content i’ve indulged in usually portrayed cross as either this baby that cant take care of himself without his partner or as this almost obsessive protector that was only really himself around them. (not sure if im wording this right bro 😓💔) but what im getting at is that just didnt Feel like cross. i understand the appeal and everything but im just 💔💔

i do enjoy when fics make him a huge dork bc as serious as cross can be, he’s an idiot. he’d do all these romantic gestures and shit and just ARRGHHH. im thinking abt the art jakei made with x!red and cross giving her roses. like yeah he’d do that fr

(art by jakei)

[ID: Cross pointing with tears in his eyes. /End ID.]

[m1lkt00th]

what if i elaborated on this. what if i brought up their brothers huh. what if.

cross is such a good foil to most characters (who involve world destruction, brother loss, losing themselves, etc.) but for nightmare specifically it feels largely untapped. nightmare being the big raging beast that gave up everything and continues to rage on. cross being the result of that rage and shutting down because hey whats the point if nothing i’ve done has helped anyone?

putting these two in the same room can result in so many different things. will they see where their weaknesses are lifted up by the other’s strengths? will they shut each other out and continue to dwell in their hurt? will they part ways because their morals are too conflicting? will they enter that tango of “i can help/fix/ruin you” that just ends in their fires burning out? would it even be worth it?

hey what if i said Cross is a foil of Nightmare. yknow, self-destruction, destruction of their worlds, losing themself etc etc

HI EVERYONE long time no see, sorry! I've been SUPER swamped with commissions and owed stuff (,,30+ stuff to do) BUT!! im working on clearing my list and will get working on designs again soon! In the meantime - I'm planning to revamp my designs for the tribes a bit! Here are some rough concepts I did yesterday - they're bound to change, but!! I plan to redo some of the designs i've posted - not all of them, but a few! And even if I do change them, the colors and markings will stay mostly the same, i'll just add some new traits to some of the old designs! (such as giving like, Clearsight and Moon fur for example!)

[madbard]

The Vampire/Werewolf Fiddlestan AU is so funny to me because one of these characters does canonically dress up as a vampire… and it is not the one you’re drawing.

POINTING AT YOUR TANGENT AND YELLING AND JUMPING AROUND!!! okay. oky

i love your ramble so much and i was struggling to come up with talking points to really jump off with for epic. apologies if this doesnt make sense

i think the wording that i saw somewhere for hjm "he behaves and acts the way he does because of the medium/setting he exists in. an over the top manga with fight scenes and power ups and powerful opponents" his speech is influenced by this too. it's very fast and snappy (not in a rude tonal way but just another way to emphasize his quickness) he has his own quirks and nightmares that he doesnt talk about and things he generally keeps in the dark

epic's character is largely a joke and the overemphasis of certain traits add to that. his obsession with cookies or his powerful eye or his usage of bruh or his knowledge of memes and how he's generally portrayed as comic relief played straight. this is largely seen within the fandom but looking at the comics and skits epic's and cross' creators have made of them together you can see where the fandom gets this idea of him from (also epic's comics without cross also add onto this)

i wont lie but epic feels like a character i dont fully know yet. there's this air that im missing something about him or a thing that i just dont get. im uncertain if it's just a me-thing but it honestly adds more to my fondness of him. i want to know more. i want to find out more about him outside of "cross' token best friend character"

i feel like i have to split this post up into multiple separate ones bc i want to explore the whole geno & cross thing or geno's role or just everything geno. these are great i love these

i love the pocket of neutrality geno lies in. not evil enough for the bad sanses. not heroic enough for the star sanses. powers are too lame to be part of the epic sanses. i like to think he’s smack in the middle of all of it. he’s thst person who’s like “oh i know a guy” he knows all the guys. every single one of them. not a guy that he hasn’t met

nightmare WOULD have recruited him if it weren’t for the fact geno is so unbothered by him. he’s the sort of raging hypocrite nightmare loves, but this guy has literally zero fucks to give. and he can’t leave his little pocket of void anyway so what’s the point.

geno’s probably met dream or ink. i have no doubts he’d get along great with swap, being close enough go geno’s papyrus. he’s probably on good terms with all the stars

i don’t know much about the epic sanses (?) aside from the basis/key details of their backstories but i think they’d get along pretty well— delta and color being classic variants and whatnot, and epic being generally chill as well

i just think it’s so funny that i literally feel like i could put this guy in a room with ANYONE and he’d honestly be fine. he’s got the canon sans chillness to me. he wins most amicable guy award

I don't really know how to express it in a way that doesn't make me cringe and delete but I Am Not Okay right now

Trying to tell myself it could be much worse but damn does that not make me feel better. I don't want to whine because it could be much worse and I should be grateful it's not but going through it while having my first PMDD episode in months is not helping me think properly!
