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

SWEET TOOTH S3 SPOILERS

singh's descent into madness was really sad to see like we've seen this man before the crumble started to really get to him. he was a real down to earth guy but then abbot genuinely ruined his life. like after season 2 my boy had done all this horrible shit and had nothing to show for it. and those weird vague dreams were like the last thing he was clinging onto, and then it turns out those were unsubstantial in the whole "destiny" thing. he lost the trust of everyone worth having trust in he literally had no where to go and then he DIED in a cave in buttfuck middle of nowhere ALONE

anit that tragic

[m1lkt00th]

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

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!)

[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

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

[cupidsbeaux]

i've been thinking a lot about teeth in the suckening. Arthur starts off with purposefully dulled teeth, meaning that he had to rely on Void to properly bite into whatever he'd hunted. when he gave up his appearance his teeth grew sharp and grotesque, preventing him from properly hiding behind the same facade as before.

Shilo's teeth resemble a classic vampire look with just sharpened canines, but he refuses to use them. he's disgusted by the idea of biting into someone; he feigns humanity by drinking from a cup and willfully ignoring that the blood is still from a person even if he doesn't have to use his teeth.

I think Emizel's teeth are the most interesting since every tooth in his mouth becomes serrated from the moment he becomes a kindred. he didn't make much effort to hide his vampiric abilities once he got them, but he couldn't even if he wanted to because his teeth made it obvious that he was no longer human. plus, edward removed all his teeth that one time, wasn't that cool.

there's no point i wanted to make here, these are simply my ramblings. i just think teeth are cool and that it's neat how they reflect aspects of their respective characters.
