Seeing the route you’ve taken with uh…drawing Nightmare, I just need to know what Passive/Uncorrupted looked like. Maybe even Dream?

sure! here they are!

and this ask gives me a the perfect opportunity to talk about their younger days!! (under cut cuz it got pretty long)

I made sure to develop their relationship a bit more. they don't get along very well, and they often fight and bicker, but in the end they still love each other a lot

they're around 13 to 15 y/o here and they're dealing with some pretty messed up eldritch meta nonsense (that I'm planning on making a comic about :])

lot changed about their personalities, especially nightmare. here he is sarcastic, very honest, and has a stupid edgy sense of humor that only he finds funny. if he knew twitter L+ratio would be his favorite words..

he's not a kindhearted bookworm pushover. he actually knows how to stand up for himself and he does that by scaring people away

he thinks he's better than dream because he so much more 'mature' than his brother, but in reality he's an emotional crybaby that takes everything to heart and gets offended way too easily.

He also loves flowers and books.

dream on the other hand, shows a lot less emotions and more restrain. he barely expresses what he's feeling so most of the time he's just like ◉⁠‿⁠◉ which he still does as an adult

he's a lot more bossy and doesn't really like it when things don't go his way, but he only shows that side of him to his brother (nightmare is the only he truly trusts)

he seeks validation from his mother constantly, so he thinks by doing everything her creations want without question, she'll love him more (oh yea their mother is literally just their creator, their tree mom ain't a thing here)

#c'mon u cannot look at how nightmare is now and tell me that he wasn't a least a little fucked up when he was a kid #dream is as fucked up as nightmare btw they both have issues dream just hides it better lolz #nightmare sans #dream sans #my art #mail

Its pretty easy to tell if Heart or Mind are gaving s nightmare.

For Heart, he usually starts mumbling or muttering in his sleep, stratching as his chest or arms. He also looks extremely upset, usually.

For Mind, his breathing gets exponentially faster, and usually he starts shaking. He usually starts to grab at whatever’s closest to him.

Somehow, they both can just… recognize when each other is having a nightmare. They just know, even when the signs aren’t obvious. Especially when the nightmare is more like a flashback than anything else. They usually wake the other up and wait until they’ve both calmed down before going back to sleep.

oh yeah and then soul is just there LMAO- he does have a similar nightmare-radar instinct to heart and mind though.

Headcanon #381

#chonny jash #submission #cj mind #cj heart #cj soul #chonnys charming chaos compendium #for soul i can see him [when sleeping normally] moving around a lot #mainly kicking his legs p roughly. like if hes sleeping next to somethin solid he might even bruise his legs a bit [personal experience lol]#but if hes having a nightmare hes oddly very stiff & doesnt move. at most hes more curled up into a ball sorta #also depending on the nightmare he either wakes up very groggily or quickley shooting up #also extra mini headcanon for Soul is that he cant dream or have nightmares at all. at most hes just silently in a void as he sleeps #maybe the only time he can is once theyre all whole or at least about to be #would be a bit ironic considering hes the main one that sings Dream too lol #might make a separate post for that eventually idk #either way I like these dream ideas anon very neat

I was busy fawning over some fictional men and this question suddenly hit me…Has Dipper ever really got into a celebrity or a character or something similar like that? And how would Bill react if he did, would he tease him about it or be jealous?

I think it would be amusing if there was, say, a demon hunter type, a colleague of Ford's, who gained some celebrity! Dipper, when he was younger, would easily be swayed by the 'charismatic heroism' of some Cool Young Guy in the profession he admires.

Bill is obviously jealous, as is his nature.

I can't decide, however, if it's funnier if Ford regrets not introducing Dipper to that guy when he had the chance, or if he's appalled. That man? His scientific rigor is terrible! His results are shoddy! Dipper should find a partner who respects science, damn it.

#answers #I just find it amusing for people to continually shake their heads at Dipper's terrible taste in men #Also if Ford's main objection to his younger colleague is that he's an idiot who couldn't science his way out of a paper bag #And yes he's a douchebag but MAINLY it's that he's terrible at doing anything but looking flashy. Dipper please. Look at these statistics.#The formatting is off and his math doesn't track #This graph doesn't even have the AXES labeled for crying out loud #He has to spend a long moment debating with himself whether or not that guy would have been worse than Bill #I mean Cipher's a horrific nightmare demon and Ford's nemesis but at least *he* knows what P>.05 is for god's sake #It also presents: One of the very #*very* rare occasions when Ford and Bill could be united against a common target #And that's always fun!

i don't know maybe it's the translation i read but i guess i always thought it was made fairly clear that shuro never legitimately hated laios so much as he resented him for being able to be the way he was. much like laios (albeit for very different reasons) shuro's affect is frequently commented on by others to be strange and at a mismatch with the prevailing culture around him, being very reticent to the point of the part where he tells the girl he likes that he likes her being when he Proposed. quite a few characters say something to this effect! shuro was raised in formality and stoicism and i think has a tendency towards not rocking the boat even besides that, and now here's this guy who breaks every one of his rules and he makes it look so easy. it's like a two-pronged frustration of "doesn't this guy understand that you can't just do that" and "fuck, what would it feel like to be able to do that." of course he gets mad! it's frustration, but it's also envy.

#the nemesis speaks #after their fight they're very chill/friendly and in the nightmares chapter laios literally says something to the effect of #''i thought we worked this out already!'' when dream shuro shows up. so he does consider that fight to be Working Things Out #&that like. imo makes it pretty clear that shuro's dislike of laios was never like inherent? it was just another product of him not-#-being able to say clearly when he likes or doesn't like something. trying to keep a lid on that pot until it boiled over #once the air had been cleared and laios was aware of it- i mean the relief of that honesty must have been-#-kind of fresh air to shuro atp regardless after not saying anything for so long.#& i think you can't bare that much of your soul to another person without becoming friends at least a little bit #plus all of shuro's actions after that chap and his demeanor towards laios are much warmer in general #idk where i'm going with this i guess tl;dr it's not even that shuro hates laios' autistic traits it's that they're like-#-out of place socially in opposite directions and shuro dislikes how unfamiliar laios is but also kind of wants to be more like him #this is beyond just the fact that the final line of their fight (in the translation at least) was quite literally #''that's the part of you that i envy''

Vanta: "I want to tell you to not be afraid, but you should be. Fear keeps you safe from dangers, and I am a danger to you. The danger I serve is, however, not an immediate danger. It will take more than a day being here for my nature to have a serious effect, but that does not mean it won't still be unpleasant."

Vanta: "This entire island is within range of my ability. You will need to sleep eventually and, if it is here, you will have the worst nightmare of your life. The longer you stay, the more times you sleep, the worse it will get. The longer the nightmare will last. Eventually, you won't wake up. I cannot stop this. I cannot fix it."

Vanta: "I should not be a presence you feel safe resting around. Allowing you all to stay here is lulling you into a false sense of security and if you feel safe, you will not take my warnings seriously. I am being selfish by letting you remain. I won't allow myself to indulge beyond dusk."

[ @ask-team-searchlights @blueespeon ]

#Vanta Darkrai #chrono #ask-team-searchlights #blueespeon #my art #im not sure i wrote out Vanta's mentality the best here but basically.#he doesn't want people to be afraid of him but also believes that if they ARENT the inevitable result of nightmares is a betrayal of their #trust in him. When your existence spreads fear its better to have everyone fear you outright.#thats part of his thoughts at least #resulting in the attempt to comfort Gen but not Too Much comfort. tough balancing act.

hgs brainrot has returned due to tbosas .. speaking of hgs here’s an ask abt the hgs au: if things were totally different, and Wilbur were to be a 12 victor, what do you think a possible mentor-tribute dynamic would look like between him & Niki? I feel like it would be similar to Snow & Lucy in the way that he’s just going out of his way to cheat n help her

anon u have in fact struck jackpot because this is a concept i was spinning some thoughts abt before bee mentioned avoxes and we went OOOOH at that!!! so yes i have considered rainduo as a mentor-tribute dynamic and would love to talk about that concept too :]

so for this concept i think wilbur and niki would be close friends throughout childhood from 12, and then in their teens wilbur is reaped and, well, no one has particularly high hopes (he's a writer and a musician at heart, not a fighter) but through sheer trickery and dumb luck, he makes it to the end of the games. wilbur pulled some pretty fucked up tricks to win - when you can't use brute force, you have to use your brain - and partly due to the trauma of the games, partly due to his shame and survivor's guilt, he sinks into the capitol and relishes a new life there as a socialite. to him, the old wilbur died in the games and the new one has taken his place - to niki, and to his other friends in 12, whatever the games did to him made him into every vapid heartless capitol victor there is.

or. niki has her doubts. they all saw how horrible the games were, but surely there is some part of him left, some part that's hurting, even if it's buried deep?

anyway.

like og spin of the au, niki is reaped and this sucks - this time she does expect wilbur as her mentor on the train, and she expects some kind of warm welcome (maybe even an apology for leaving them so suddenly and silently? an explanation?) but she gets jack shit. wilbur is jaded and cruel and unrecognisable and niki entirely hates it. this is the part where i REALLY WISH we got some time of those two beefing with each other directly in canon (or at least interactions while niki was So Mad at him) but it's okay we fly blind. niki feels abandoned, lonely, thrown off of her kilter - she expected an ally in this place, but she doesn't recognise the person wilbur has become. she doesn't recognise his shallowness (...much), his ruthless advice for the arena, the way he doesn't seem to care for anything. she's scared and now she's lonely and it pisses her off - their mentorship is fraught. here are some thoughts from discord on that:

i tend to think of niki as a bit naïve before l'manberg or even doomsday - i think this is an au where this streak would come out real strong, and niki is stubborn that she can get through the games without losing herself. stubborn that she can stop things, that she can protect people. i don't think wilbur is cold enough (or, really, can bear to say aloud) to say that her odds in the arena are slim enough as it is, but he definitely tells her that she's making enemies and that her odds of survival dwindle with the more trouble she causes.

beyond that... hm. niki's trust in wilbur is almost unshakeable until nov 16, even when she outright says she doesn't recognise him anymore. i think she'd reluctantly listen re: don't burn down any buildings, but she would grow bolder each day she had to stay in the capitol. she gets more honest in front of the cameras. she makes more friends in training, and not the ones wilbur recommends. she throws barbs at him every time he makes one of those callous, cold-hearted comments about other tributes and rankings and odds. and besides, she's going in the arena this time, not him. she needs to practice her bravery.

it's like... she hasn't given up on him. she thinks the old wilbur is in there somewhere. (she is wrong. that is not how trauma works.) but she won't hold her tongue just because she

for extra angst points could definitely play up the whole 'feeling abandoned' angle between them as niki goes into the arena - probably due to how fraught their friendship gets leading up to the games. niki wants to focus on them and their friendship, wilbur has stringently cut off (almost) everything from 12 and refuses to let her in; he tells her to behave for the cameras, she tells him she never will. i think the last point in that screenshot would also make for a super tasty argument where niki feels wilbur has gone astray, that he's abandoned 12, and that he'll probably do nothing but sit on his ass and watch her die and he can't even bring himself to care about her anymore, can he? just more fodder for the arena. and honestly, i think wilbur would passively agree with most of that - he values niki's opinion, after all, even now, and if she says he's rapidly descending into a lost cause then she must be right. and it's niki, so she will be fine, and he goes to his bedroom that night and tries to pretend he is sleeping perfectly fine instead of feeling paralysed with fear.

okay now onto the games - YES HE SO WOULD. or at least i think he would go out of his way to help. as for cheating - he's a recent victor for 12 and i think he would value tommy (no doubt a link to him... i think they'd be in touch in this au also) too much to risk the punishment falling onto him as well. i get the vibes this is a games closer to 74th than 10th, so there are far fewer opportunities to cheat and the consequences of getting caught are higher. but schmoozing up sponsors? making stupid ass radio interviews or whatever to talk up niki's odds? sharing anecdotes from their childhood - some real, some entirely fabricated - across capitol airwaves to stoke their sympathy? 100%. with less to lose in this au, i think niki would be far less inclined to play nice for the cameras - i hope you starve, she spits at one of them, and wilbur appears on a talkshow two days later as she scrambles for survival in the arena to talk up how she always saved loaves from the bakery for the poorest mothers and children in 12. he borrows and begs and swindles to the point where it feels like cheating. but hey, this new wilbur is capitol-branded. he knows how to play the game.

if anything he probably sinks into the game a little too much. self-preservation is not his forte. probably wracks up a few heavy debts and favours to owe, but those are not priority until niki is out of the arena, alive. as long as she wins, and as long as the family he has isn't in danger, he will manage. wow it would suck if at some point those two goals became impossible to co-achieve. anyway

i kind of see niki's victory in the arena being similar to the one in the main au - if only because planning out an entire games is hard for meee >-< . she walks in bolder and braver for sure, and with a less strategic pick of allies, but they all get picked off and she spends a few weeks so terrified she can barely sleep and then she ruptures some fuel line and sets the arena alight with a fire that burns brighter and more ravenously than it should. but she wins, and she's airlifted out of a filthy, muddy creek she had resigned herself to die in, and wilbur barges his way through as many peacekeepers so that he can actually see her with her burnt skin and hair and unfocused eyes and trust that what was on the screens wasn't a fluke, and that they made it. and then it's just a matter of surviving the after.

i'm sure there are some other random quirks or tidbits i can think of re: this take on a c!rainduo hunger games au but these are my base thoughts!!

#can i just say whatever the hell lucy grey n snow had going on in part 1 made me so berko btw. like congrats ur my means to an end youre my #symbol youre my buddy? should we kiss? i'll get you out of here / don't make me leave these people behind #BRIDGING OFF OF THE TBOSAS DISCUSSION. i think the thing with crainduo (or at least how i like to depict them) is that they care about each #other extremely deeply and value each other... without being each others number one priority at all times.#i don't think niki plays priority with people she cares for like that; see her relationships with like wilbur and eret in lmanberg #even her friendship with and offering ponk a place to stay in her city after manberg even tho manberg hurt her #as for wilbur: his priority is tommy. like always. if it was just him on the line he'd do anything to get niki thru but it's not #asks #hunger games au #they would truly be such a nightmare in this au like. wilbur's self loathing is SO HIGH due to survivors guilt and trauma and mental illnes #he thinks that niki is So Good and Has It Together meanwhile he is So Bad #and is a mess that she cannot possibly rely on him. she can't possibly need him. she can't possibly want him around #<- and this shit is INGRAINED like. it's not even an active thought pattern anymore it is carved into his brain like a groove #and so shes like. do you even care whether i live or die??#of course he does. but this is the capitol. he cant be vulnerable in a way that matters #and that alienates niki further and this rage and heartbreak is building in her with nowhere to go. and in the arena she thinks it erupts #nah uh. i think its AFTER the area when she has to face wilbur again that she would go full screaming meltdown #ANYWAY !! i really like aus where they have this friction esp because i think like.. idk i think sometimes our views of rainduo are too ros #wilbur kind of forgets about niki sometimes because his self hatred is that bad. niki doesnt get wilburs mental illness and takes it both a #a burden/blame AND a direct rejection of her and her friendship #and they hover just outside of each others spaces anxious and angry and almost self flagellating. GOOD FOR THEM !#anyway Yes this did unlock something within me. thanks anon feel free to add on if u had more thoughts esp re: tbosas and such bc i had suc #a good time watching that movie
