Rotting Apples AU questions!!

How’d the Twins receive those scars?

What caused the tree to rot? Was it this AU’s version of The Apple Incident, or is that yet to come?

Ok well, yeah the name is a little misleading but actually the calling of "Rotting apples" is more of the after state of the Twins themselves as the Multiverse Names I've given them implies as such being Wither and Decay with a last other character whos really wrapping this all together teehee

But First I'll Answer How the Twins got their Injuries, more or less speaking it follows a general Dreamtale timeline as general per usual with the usual Apple incident but rather than Nightmare and Dream surviving the incident they both end up dying in the end

Dream dies after Nightmare more or less gravely injures him and ends up breaking off Dreams Jaw before he falls to the ground

Nightmares Injury coming from one of the villagers when they had started chopping down the tree creating a weakspot in his skull where his goop had destroyed the bone there.

as goes the Apple incident, Nightmare ends up killing everyone and in a last bit of clarity he realizes what hes done. Dreams body hadn't dusted yet so Nightmare had tried dragging dream to the stump meekly as the flux of magic is too much for him. Dreams body dusts completely before Nightmare makes it to the tree but he still takes Dreams crown before collapsing against the stump and too dying leaving the Au silent and empty...

well that is until a little ol' Necromancer came around :}c

His name is Sage and he's a Variant of one of my own Sanses, Necro, who is well, a Necromancer

I'll post more about him overtime but teehee

Overall though more or less How he meets the twins is sometime after wandering the Multiverse for some time, he ends up in the remains of Dream tale, upon discovering two interesting souls lingering, Sage reanimates the two out of curiosity since he's never seen souls like theirs and as spirits of sorts Dream and Nightmare were brought back, unfortunately though the damage done to their original vessels stuck with them and thus why they look the way they do since Necromancers usually don't have the skill set to change a raised dead's physical appearance

Although beisdes that I'll be sharing Withers gang at some point later :}

so keep an eye out on that teehee,, :}c

What if you're able to open time and space with a tenno and what if that sort of technology ended up in I dunno.. Some guy's hands that should not been trusted. Imagine being a key to the future, a living battery per-say. That would kinda suck.

i feel u abt the bailey brainrot....i want to hit him w a car (sexual) 😭

ngl i kinda hope that they implement smth where if we manage to get his love high enough and u have a kid in the youth ward if you come at night to check on them he might be there just silently watching them sleep. i feel like he does have a little bit of a soft spot for pc's kids (delulu bc of his lines when he drives pc back from the hospital after labor).

ahaha or u wake up at night feeling watched and u expect it to be kylar being himself or smth like usual but its bailey watching u sleep..for less..savoury reasons ;)

i agree bailey needs to be steamrolled into a fine paste. he needs to be hydraulically pressed (affectionate)

ough ive never seen the pregnancy flavor text cause ive still not gotten pregnant once LOL but i like the idea of bailey having a soft spot for pc's kids😊 i think in the qna's it was said that both the orphanage and bailey's flat have some sort of symbols/words carved onto it (for protection?) and bailey ensures all orphans grow up safe and untainted until they reach of age...bailey is cruel but not evil...ough..._(´ཀ`」 ∠) _

and omg imagine pc thinking it was kylar sneaking into their room again but kylar doesn't cast as tall of a shadow, their grunts not nearly as deep and hoarse, and he certainly doesn't inspire that deep, sinking feeling of pure fear...should you confront him? would that even get him to stop? or should you just lay still and brace yourself for whatever is to come? fuck, bailey probably would've already noticed that you're awake, not that he really cares if he's lost himself to the point of barging into your room to fuck his fist to your sleeping form. You won't be able to look Bailey in the eye the next day, only silently cursing the fact that all the doors in the orphanage have no locks......... i think the trouble with Bailey is that he is TOO good at restraint so its not easy to insert him into a lot of scenarios😔😔😔😔he only cares about money fr😔😔. but sometimes you just have to ignore canon cause I Need My Bailey Somnophilia Brainrot Okay

Something something words of affirmation

(Extra note: I think Mikey would also fit in the ‘murder is okay’ box but in the end Donnie more consistently exudes that energy, just know Mikey could fit in there too lol (looks at Pizza Pit episode in particular))

hiii i hope this doesnt bother you but i have a question!! how do i stop putting the void on a pedestal? i have entered it once by relaxing but i didnt realise. now i cant do it again because my brain keeps telling me that the process must be hard instead of easy, what should i do?

hii! It's not a bother dww!!

I can definitely help with this one lol. I used to put the void on a pedestal too. I had been trying for years before I got any success so I know what it can feel like.

You have to know that the void is not some place you're going or reaching. It's just you. It's just pure (4D) awareness. You are pure awareness. You can induce it anytime in any way because it's you!

You're just being you. Since you can induce it whenever and however you want, why would you give something so easy to do so much importance? Your brain is lying to you. Let that thought pass by. It's not even a process. It is you. You are it. There's no difference. Looks how easy it is to induce when you didn't even have to try. Just relax and do it again.

What helps the most is knowing that whether you induce the void or not, you will still experience your desires in the physical world because you are pure awareness anyways. You don't have to induce it to get what you want.

Induce pure awareness for the fun of it. Don't depend so much on a state of consciousness because you already are it 24/7.

Hope this helps!!

I found out about box theory recently and I found it really neat.

But I don't find it useful personally. The imagery of the box and the idea that the box is individualized don't work for me at all.

So, I thought I would share my personal way of conceptualizing labels.

Essentially, you view all the LGBTQ+ labels as tools in a gigantic toolbox.

You can go through it and grab the tool you want to complete the project you are doing.

Two people may grab the exact same tool for projects that could not be more different.

Two people may grab completely different tools for exactly the same project.

And, of course, two people could grab exactly the same tools for exactly the same project.

And any variation/combination of any of those.

The important thing to remember is that there is no universally correct tool to use. Grab a hammer to unscrew a screw. Grab a screwdriver to remove a nail. Use a tape measure to etch a piece of art. Use 20 different tools for one task. Go wild. If it works best for you, it is the best tool for the job, even if other people would never use it that way. You're the one doing the job, so use the tool(s) that help you.

If someone criticizes the way that you are completing your own personal project, then they are just being annoying and pretentious.

Labels are just tools of self-description. Mix and match them. Use them in unconventional ways. If anyone cares, it doesn't matter, because the labels you use are for you, not them.

*ranting and raving and stomping on rooftops and flailing my arms about* HUMANS ARE AMIMALS!!! WE ARE ANIMALS!!! QUIT ACTING LIKE WE'RE NOT!!!

I am so goddamn tired of society acting like we're not!!! I am so goddamn tired of us as a society acting like we are above all the other animals!!! I do not care that we are the apex!!! We are fucking ANIMALS!!! Like, just take a step back and observe us like we have our own nature documentary on Nat Geo or something. Maybe with David Attenborough or whatever, idc. Just imagine it.

We are a species of apes that just so happened to gain the ability of extremely complex and abstract thought, capability of language, an almost absurd level of self-awareness, and the type of intelligence that allowed us to discover, invent, and develop tools. A species of apes that just so happen to have such a crazy level of curiosity that we have the capability to learn about the world around us, and beyond.

The way we learn and develop is fascinating. If you observe a toddler from that standpoint, watching them interact with the world around them, you'd see how natural curiosity is to us, in our human nature. Neil deGrasse Tyson has literally said that children are beings of chaos because they're curious and learning about the world around them.

We all have children in us, just like we have our ancestors in us!!! Our brains are wired like theirs. Relatively, we have been in this state of society for an extremely short amount of time!! Our brains and nervous systems are still wired to survive and keep us safe from predators and other dangers!!

We are social creatures!! We need love and connection to survive!! We can't do things on our own. The only reason we ever got to where we are is because we work together and communicate and share knowledge. The way society is right now is too isolating!! Humans aren't meant to be fighting for a place in society!! Haven't you seen zookeepers?? Or anyone who cares for nature in any capacity?? We have an incredible capacity for compassion and caretaking, because we have the capability to know and understand the inner workings of ourselves and countless other species!! Caretaking and compassion is literally an innate human trait!! We're supposed to take care of each other and the world around us!! We literally are capable of pack bonding with ROOMBAS, for fucks sake!! Little robots that our ape brains see moving around on its own, being part of our homes, and thinks "little guy is alive... I love him"!!! Isn't that beautiful???

We were an evolution of Mother Earth, Herself, to grow Her and expand Her and care for Her!!! Whether you believe in intelligent design or just the absurdity of it all, it still happened like that. We have the capacity to care for Her in an evolved level, yet we're fucking it up so badly right now.

Indigenous cultures have always been on the right track. They've always been right about this. They have always known that we are all pieces of the same organism, just like the atoms and cells and organs and electricity in your body are all part of one body!!

And btw, culture is another HUGE part of us being social creatures!! Being expressive and creative and connected!! That's part of our nature!! We're meant to sing and dance and laugh together!! That connectivity of us being a collective is So Important!!! Making fun of people for being "sheep", or having "herd mentality" every single time is so stupid because yes!!! Yes that's EXACTLY how we are supposed to be!!! We are social creatures, remember?? The whole point is that we do things together!!!

I know how society is rn isn't the end all, be all, but it just breaks my heart that this Capitalism shit goes against some of the most beautiful parts of humanity!! We are animals!!! We are cute and curious and compassionate and social and we need warmth and sunlight and sustenance from the earth and water and sleep and shelter from the elements!! We have instincts just like everything else!! We came from the dust and we will return to the dust because we will always be part of the Earth, just like all the other animals!! And somehow, despite all odds, despite how robotic Capitalism wants us to be, our human nature seeps into everything.

Take care of yourself! You are an animal, after all! <3
