Ok so- hear me out- imagine this for nightmare and dream.
They have an s/o, everything is great! Although whenever they were in a bad mood, s/o would immediately know, and would sometimes complain that their negativity gave them headaches . At first they think nothing of it, they probably just weren’t that great at hiding their emotions, and the headache was probably just s/o being sad about them being upset. but soon by the way s/o described it, they noticed that it…was not normal. They described it as if they could sense the emotions around them!
As soon as Dream/Nightmare notices, they do a bit of questioning, and they’re able to figure out their s/o has the same ability to sense emotions as they do! S/o just had no idea that was what it was, and thought it was completely normal to see/sense peoples emotions like they do.
How the heck do they even have this power??? How do Dream/Nightmare even react to something like this?
This was such a good idea! :D Thank you for sending it to me!
Nightmare: At first Nightmare thought it was annoying, his S/o was being much too sensitive. He didn't react to his annoyance too often, normally he didn't shout or anything. He did get annoyed often though, just didn't react to it. Then he started to ask questions about their headaches, wondering if there was anything that he could do to help them stop getting the headaches. They reminded him of himself when he was younger when he was around too many positive emotions. Negative positive feelings, of course... Then he started to piece things together, and he was... confused? “You say that you can... sense that I am annoyed?” when he got the approval, he lets out a little hum and decides to try to do some tests. Finally he finds out the truth, you have similar powers to that of his own. How interesting... “No, that does not seem to be very normal with humans, Y/n.” he's going to keep an eye on this, see how far it goes, while also working on controlling his anger. He hated to be the cause of headaches for his datemate. He also helps them learn ways to control it so they wouldn't get headaches as often.
Dream: Dream tries his best to not be in bad moods, even when he's alone, he feels like he doesn't deserve to be allowed to feel bad. He's literally the guardian of positive emotions and positive energy. How is he supposed to be able to feel negative? Plus it also hurts you, for some reason... he finds it kinda exciting and wants to know exactly how you're able to tell whenever he feels bad. He thought that he's normally really good at hiding it! After a bit, he decides to ask some questions, and he learns that you could kinda... sense and or see emotions. It was a lot like what he could do, which was a shock! How in the world were you able to do that? It's a little worrying because now he couldn't hide it if he did feel bad. At least now he has an excuse to talk about his problems?
[ID: A drawing of Dream Sans depicted with wings and wearing a dress. (Left)She is seated wearing an ankle-length dress and a hand held up and touching her circlet. (Right) She is holding her bow with her wings open and a joyful expression on her face. /End ID]
[ID: A drawing depicting Dream seated with a concerned expression and Outer standing with a relaxed posture. A speech bubble is to the left of Outer’s head. And a drawing of Outer doing a peace sign above them. To the left Dream is depicted wearing an floor-length dress with several flowers lining it. /End ID.]
requests from my instagram! “trans fem dream in a pretty dress.” and i HAD to add Outer too! i thought of referring to them as "solar duo" bc outer already encompasses anything "space" and dream is typically associated with star or sun symbols
So, like HC that at the start of the star sanses Dream wouldn’t be the best at controlling his emotions (he lost 500 to do that) so he ended up having kinda random mood swings, or like just having reactions that a child would to all the emotions he’s feeling. He eventually got better but... he still lost those 500 years
Anyways my brain is permanently locked on thinking about Dream so when I was watching Lego Monkie Kid my brain Made Connections
................
(Also yes I'm saying consumed bc Dream did consume the last golden apple... to use it as their soul yk, Wukong did directly EAT the peaches of immortality but yk)
Anyways putting that together made me feel like this
