what r ur thoughts on the swap angst where ink and dream don't really care abt swap as much as they need to bc they're immortal and he's not
0/10 not my thing never will be. i personally view it as not only ooc for dream (ink is dubious on that but i like to think he wouldn’t intentionally ignore swap and his needs), but also just,,,,, for the love of god can we have the star sanses be happy for once!!! how come this fandom looks at nm and his group, composed of the worst people ever™️, make them happy and fun and family-like, and then butcher the stars by making them all terrible?? it rubs me the wrong way entirely.
i think it would be the contrary. ink would treat swap like any other member and worry about him as much as he does dream, himself, or anyone else. he wouldn’t freak out more than needed, and maybe he’d forget sometimes, but he wouldn’t intentionally be terrible and when he’s informed that he’s neglected anyone in some way or another he’d apologize and try to fix it.
meanwhile, dream would be more protective over swap and constantly freak out about him, which causes swap angst where dream and ink aren’t vilified, a concept this fandom needs to use more jesus christ. it has swap feeling like dream doesn’t respect him, but when they talk he realizes that no, dream respects him, but he also cares for swap so much, and he’s already lost so many people before and he doesn’t want to lose someone else from a stupid oversight. swap felt coddled and babied, but then realized that it’s more complicated than that and dream was trying to do as much as he could to protect someone he loved from the same fate so many others have. and then they grow from this and the 3 become closer and also they’re all a poly btw i said so and they have movie nights and love each other soooo much
every time someone characterizes ink and dream as terrible people for swap angst and/or to make nightmare and his group seem morally righteous a part of my soul dies
