i’m imagining adult dream and baby nightmare having their own shenanigans, it’s significantly less funny though cause dream would just be an emotional wreck

There would be many, many tears.

It feels wrong to call him brother. It's been a long time since he could call Nightmare his brother. But it brings relief. Enormous relief.
(summary of the dream dad au)
Dream would probably be an enormously protective and ruthless parent (end-game), though it would take him a character arc to see past Baby Nightmare as the symbol of what he lost. Although Nightmare is a child, he is still observant enough to understand his presence causes Dream such a great grief that it is palpable in the air when Dream is in the house. This would probably drive Nightmare to fall into further self-loathing and run away, prompting Dream to once again chase after his brother after neglecting him.
Thankfully, Dream would catch him and they could have a nice emotional talk about the past and why Dream "hates" Nightmare. Dream sums it up as the two having a very bad argument that ended so badly they stayed hurt for hundreds of years. Nightmare then asks if he ate the apples on the tree, to which Dream hesitantly says yes.
Eventually, they grow into trusting one another more and bonding better. Dream would not hesitate to act as a guardian to Nightmare and is happy raising him. Dream eventually learns that he can forgive himself because he realizes that he, too, was ultimately a child and just as helpless as Nightmare in the past. Nightmare is observant enough to know Dream is somehow an adult version of his brother, but still views him in a mix of fatherly/brotherly perspective. I think Dream would end up more as Nightmare's crybaby, caring big brother, but it's up to you.
I kind of get the vibe that Dream would be pretty pathetic in the beginning before taking up arms when he realizes Nightmare is still being endangered by the villagers. They probably wouldn't recognize him, since he's got a different temperament (isn't willing to be pushed around by their demands anymore.) They assume he's some kind of new guardian from the tree to replace their old one for the rising demands they're making. Entitled, arrogant, etc.
Dream prefers being more straightforward, so I think he probably betters their situation by just being himself (honest, kind, generous, friendly, caring) and winning over the townsfolk again. But he would absolutely use their goodwill to pamper his younger brother without remorse. He's fundamentally against unnecessary cruelty or violent forms of revenge, but he is absolutely vindictive when it comes to holding the villagers accountable.
Always the goody two shoes, he offers them forgiveness if they repent for being horrible people and change their horrible ways... perhaps by helping him restore his home? And maybe then they'll see that Nightmare is not a monster, but just a little boy...?

I can't stop thinking about the idea that Dream's group were also in that au during gooptales at some point and Blue and Ink got that potion on them too. Like at some point the brothers have to meet up for something and they're both exhausted from sudden parenthood (because yeah Nightmare has twice as many to deal with but Dream has Blue with more energy and Ink with less impulse control, good luck to him). Also that Sci probably knows and just didn't think to mention that the same thing was happening to Dream too lol
Nightmare stood there with the grocery cart. Cross was sitting in the seat, Dust clinging to a tendril, and Killer and Horror were pulling themselves up on an open refrigerated case to pick out the yogurts they wanted before Nightmare could help them. He would be there to help them if it wasn't for the other staring right back at him.
Dream, his brother, looked at Nightmare with half-lidded, tired sockets. Sleeping in the cart was a child-sized Stretch. More surprising was a leash around Dream's wrist. Following the leash down, Nightmare saw Ink... a very young and small Ink.... He was wearing what looked to be just a teddy bear backpack, but it was clearly also a child leash. (Made sense as he doubted anyone could keep an eye on that ball of energy that was already asking Nightmare a list of questions while bouncing on his toes.)
"MR. DREAM! THEY ARE CLIMBING ON STUFF! THAT ONE IS GETTING IN THE CASE! ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THAT?" Asked a very small Blue who was tugging on Dream's hoodie. Yes... Hoddie. His brother was not dressed as nicely as he normally does. He was wearing cargo pants with pockets packed with toys, crayons, and other things to occupy his two charges.
...
"They are doing what?!" Nightmare blurted as the words Blue said settled into his mind. The tentacle Dust was holding wrapped around the child as he hurried over to get Killer out of the yogurt case.
---
It turns out that Lyra and Core decided to plan a grocery trip for the two so they could see each other. The two walk up, feigning ignorance of this plot. The brothers don't talk then, but as Killer and Ink start playing, the brothers mutter in agreement to a "playdate" for the kids. It was then that they finally talked and swapped stories, trying to see who had it worse. And sorry, Killer, try as you might, a tiny Ink is a true menace to peace.

Alex likes painting herself sometimes, not often
Alex doesn't like ink that much, she doesn't hate him thought
And she looks up to Dream, who adopted them
Dream belongs to jokublog

i had such a shitty day so this is my therapy.

bf!dream who thinks youre joking when you bring up the idea that you're pregnant. but when he realizes your not, he freezes.
"im pregnant," you say as you step into his office, standing there awkwardly. your boyfriend laughs at you, going back to scrolling on his phone. when you stay silent, he looks up at you shaking in the doorway. he studies you for a second, feeling his heart drop.
"you're joking, right?" he asked, setting his phone down. you shook your head and pleadingly looked at him. he stood up and walked over to you, tilting your chin up to look at you better.
you tried to to inhale deeply but it became shaky the longer you stood there. your boyfriend brought you in for a hug, trying to take in the news for himself.
bf!dream who does everything in his power to hide your pregnancy from the public until your ready or far enough in your pregnancy.
"you sure you want me to post it?" he asked you, laying his head on your chest and rubbing your bump. in his other hand, his phone that displayed the final step of an instagram post. the first picture was of your most recent ultrasound and the other ones of you through your pregnancy.
"yeah," you shrugged and rested your head on the fluffy hair on his head. "might as well, im almost due. its getting harder for me to hide this. just post it, baby."
bf!dream who feels it finally sink in when you find out youre having a girl. he starts thinking about how she'll be a mix of both of you and hopes that she looks more like you.
bf!dream who thinks its so cute and funny when you waddle around the house, trying to navigate the world with a child growing inside of you.
bf!dream who, unprovoked, kisses your belly and is always touching it. he likes to love on you and the baby as much as he can. he will cuddle you and make sure your as comfortable as you can be.
bf!dream who will most likely run out to get you what you're craving. if its midnight and you're restless, he'll easily get you to go back to sleep and convince you to wait until morning--when he can actually get you what you need.
bf!dream who is as calm as he can be when you go into labour. he tries to calm you down as much as possible by taking on most of the paperwork and getting everything else situated.
bf!dream who cries so much when he gets to hold your little girl for the first time. in that moment he vows to her, even if its in his mind, that he will do everything in his power to give her the best life possible.
bf!dream who loves doing skin-to-skin contact with her as much as he can in the first few weeks. and you like watching it.
bf!dream who will fall asleep with your baby in his arms in an attempt to rock her to sleep. you end up with enough pictures and videos to last a lifetime.
bf!dream who refuses to let you get up in the middle of the night to attend to your crying newborn unless he is too tired to even move.

im kinda angry rn but im not quite sure why.... maybe its cause i got a new phone and the entirety of my camera roll is way too large to transfer... or maybe its cause i interacted with some shitty people today. i also had to delete 30,000 messages of just one persons contact alone in order to transfer other stuff and it was my ex-best friend and it made me really sad to see the messages of him telling me he loved me. and i saw him again today.... so that might be it...
regardless, im not in the best mood so this isnt very long or detailed. yea, i hope you guys enjoyed or whatever. -nony

86bpm (Best Part of Me)
by snowdreamr
Summary:
Salty tears welled up in Dream’s eyes and a wide smile shone on his face. His daughter was in his arms, giggling adorably, and swatted his cheek.“Dada,” she repeated, and it rang beautifully. It resonated like a perfect symphony—a sound of the utmost complexity, turning Dream’s insides into cotton. “I love you, princess,” he whispered, pinching her little nose. Then, he turned around and headed for the door. But before he got there, his daughter said something else. Or, well, she meowed something else. He ran back towards the crib, and in the very same place where he’d left his human baby less than five seconds ago… he found a kitten.
Dream’s long path towards building a family.

How does nooroo feel about Tom in your villian dad au?
After initial introductions, Tom basically thinks Nooroo is a figment of his imagination and a testament to his mind crumbling from the grief of losing Sabine. Nooroo gets an inside look on what really matters to tom, though
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tom uses the butterfly miraculous not for himself, but for the benefit of his daughter. The vengeance he's trying to take on "Hawkmoth" isn't quite as simple as "you're responsible for the death of my wife," it stems from a very, very different source - which makes Nooroo more sympathetic to helping him.
He's still not thrilled, but, Marinette and Tom are so kind to him, he really can't find it in himself to complain.

My mom was trying to send my dad and I a list of things we had to do before guests arrived, but she was driving and autocorrect made all her words incomprehensible. The very last item on the list just said “piss 😎” and I woke myself up before I could respond.

Sometimes, I think about the fact that Wymack is Kevin's dad, and I want to weep. He dedicated his entire life to helping others who had grown up like he had, only to find out that his own son had grown up a caged and abused wreck? That's a level of pain that I can't even fathom.

Another Ghost Dragon Prompt? Indeed.
The Ward had made a mistake. Had stolen something that had caused the very Skies to lash out, entire worlds at risk from their actions.
Time Itself shrieked in rage at the loss of Its child, or at least that's how every magic user- and the speedsters, pale and shaken and looking sick- had described it.
Someone had taken the young prince of the Infinite, and it was not the Tyrant King, long since sealed away, that lead the charge, but the Queen Regent that many had long since forgotten.
Many forgot that it was not the Dark who courted Time, but Time who courted the Dark. That It was just, if not more so, merciless as Its partner, and would Devour worlds should Its child- still with newdeath soft scales- was not returned.
Which meant that for the heroes, there was now a Clock ticking down ever so quietly. They had to take care of what was a government branch, had to deal with consequences of going over the law, or their World would End in dragon fire.

Rockstar!Eddie trying to convince their kid that he’s the better choice to take to school for Career Day than Steve, Bakery owner.
He even tries to sell them on Aunt Nancy who is a world famous reporter or Aunt Robin who is a code breaker at the Pentagon. Or Uncle Will who illustrates their favorite books.
Steve brings out a tray of cookies to the dining room table and the kid gets stars in their eyes at him, “But Daddy makes cookies!”
“Yeah, you do have a point, love,” as he is picking up a cookie himself.
“It worked on you, didn’t it?” Steve grins.
“That it did, sugar dumpling, that it did,” he said wryly, pulling Steve to him and kissing him hard.
“Eewwwww, Dad!”
