Well, at least one person in the household is willing to explain things. Looks like the two that need it the most just won't listen :(

A little comic I made concerning Peach from @pokemon-ash-aus 's false twins AU.

Meeting the Third

Did a whole lot of shading with this one. It's taken me a while to draw what I have here. I'll probably continue it after I do a few other projects.
Hope you liked the comic.

Hermit's Hollow Masterpost
What is Hermit's Hollow?
Hermit's Hollow is a mysterious small town AU centered around the titular town of Hermit's Hollow. It's is heavily inspired by works such as Twin Peaks, Welcome to Nightvale, TAZ: Amnesty, Gravity Falls, and other similar media. The story, while not always in chronological order, is told through transcripts, recovered photographs, journal entries, and -- occasionally -- strange puzzles strewn about. Basically, there's weird things in the trees, the town may be almost be literally alive, and the weirdest thing at the local tourist trap is its owner.
What's the story?
Grian is a former journalist with a tarnished reputation. With nothing else left to lose, he accepts an invitation from his sister to start anew in the sleepy mountainside town of Hermit's Hollow. What appears to be a peaceful escape quickly reveals itself to be far more, however, as soon Grian is embroiled in the mystery of a missing scientist, a charming tourist trap owner, and a town that's far more than it seems. Now, armed with only a Polaroid camera and his intuition, he's determined to uncover the town's secrets -- for better or for worse.

Legacies 1x04 Rewatch:
Just seeing all the comic book decor in MG's room makes me so sad that we never got to see him and Landon geek out together
The amount of (lame) TVD cameos in S1 was wild considering they did not keep that energy up
If I had a nickel for every time the Salvatore School made a fake exchange program with Mystic Falls High over a murder, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice
"Who are you and what did you do with Hope Mikaelson?" Just you wait ...
The blatant use of TVD scenes for the exterior shots of MFHS and they couldn't even match the green filter of Legacies
Lizdon best friendism!!!
"Try not to deliberately alienate the entire student body." "I tried to be her friend when I was five and when I was nine and when I was thirteen." "I'm sorry we couldn't see why you were hurting back then." SCREAMING.
"Would you like to be the Robin to my Batwoman?" "Batwoman doesn't have a Robin." "Metaphor." FOR LESBIANISM.
"I'm working on offensive spells." Maybe we should've known she was blood thirsty from the start
Rosie and Finsie both have a breakfast scene BUT NOT JANDON OR POSIE. WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?
No because how did Josie have Raf so wrapped around her finger and still manage to come up with a fake sob story about Lizzie winning him
Baby Handon, my beloveds
Hope 🤝 Lizzie 🤝 Accusing MG of failing at compulsion
Lizzie being so grossed out by MG's unrelenting advances and him STILL not getting the message. Oh I hate what this rewatch is doing to my best boy.
"Dana is dead." Oh no ... what are we gonna do ...
"I expect you to be with Hope when I do" hits so much harder knowing about 4x06
"You are a horrible liar." "I suck at lying." Okay Lizzie I see you
We were robbed of Cheerleader!Hope, even in an AU
I still need someone to edit "They're a gift from Cheryl" into a Hope Mikaelson x Cheryl Blossom edit
"Relax, Eeyore." Hope, your Lizzie is popping out.
"I don't even like any of you" but we all know who she's best friends with in the Human AU
Jed truly was terrible in the beginning. Like who is that? I don't know him. Bully!Jed isn't real unless you believe in him.
"I'm a feminist." You're a liar is what you are actually.
I really do miss S3 actual feminist MG. Bring him back to me already.
The casual Dana E.D. jokes were ... certainly a choice for a 2019 show ...
The Kaleb x Landon dynamic deserved more
"Years of practice with Lizzie" and we never once get to see it. Like??
"You're dead if you don't submit." I'm sorry but like has a werewolf student ever actually been murdered for not joining the pack? I feel like we would've heard about that.
"It's Sasha." Was Sasha even at the flag football game? How do they know her?
BASES IT OFF OF GREEK LORE. OH THE GREEK GODS SET UP WAS THERE. IT WAS THERE.
"My money's on your boyfriend." "He's not my boyfriend." She just wanted to hear you say it, sweetie.
"Whatever spun this is gonna come back and eat us." We couldn't be that lucky. Imagine how much better the series would have been.
I still ship Connor x Josie. I don't care.
Landon rushing in to save Josie. Oh Jandon serves whether you want to admit it or not.
The S1 Core 6 did not get enough scenes together
THE MOMENT IT ALL CHANGED FOR LIZZIE. OH GOD OH GOD. HOLD ON TIGHT.
THINGS ARE SHIFTING.
"I'm a twin. I don't do anything solo." You just spent the entire episode without Lizzie because being a hero is too much pressure??? You spent the whole last episode apart from her too???? It's only the fourth episode?????
It's almost laughable how much Josie lies. Like every other word out of her mouth is straight up false and she knows it.
Still think Jed x Rafael should have had a thing.
I miss this Handon angst. THIS. THIS IS THE GOOD STUFF. Not the circular conflict they got stuck in later.
"Being a hero is not more important than being safe." This is your suicidal daughter, my dude. She does not care about being safe.
"She thinks she's too good to give you the time of day." Actually it's
Tumblr media
"Don't disrespect her like that. We got enough monsters out here as it is. We cannot become one of them." MG YOU DIDN'T DIE THE HERO. YOU LIVED LONG ENOUGH TO BECOME THE VILLAIN. GOD DAMN IT.
Wait a minute. Josie was stuck in a spider web, almost dying, and Landon saved the day instead of Penelope Park making an appearance? Penelope would have never.
"If you threaten my kids, Sheriff, I'll be the one coming for you." No, maybe I get it. Maybe I do still get the attraction.

Young Love and Old Money (Jean Grey x Reader)
Summary: AU/ as real as young love feels, it doesn’t always last.
Words: 2500
Warnings: past Wanda x Reader, language, angst, heartbreak, exes, drama.
A/N: So this is comic!Wanda and MCU!Wanda combined. It makes sense with the mutants thing. But keep that in mind going into it because it doesn’t fit a MCU timeline. Based on a song by the same name.
Taglist: @natasharomanoffswife​ @natasha-danvers​ @aaron-despair​ @xjiasx​ @nowthisisliving27 @higherfurther-romanova​ @summergeezburr @marvels-writings @imnotasuperhero @miscmarvelwritings @captain-josslett @onlyafewfindtheway​ @hayleyokami @b-5by5 @lostandsearching @evilcr0ne
-X-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tucked below the blossoming magnolia tree, you brushed a wild strand of red hair from Wanda’s face as she regaled you with tales from her training. Her father, the villain-turned-recluse Magneto, had ventured from his self-imposed isolation in hopes of connecting with Wanda and her twin, Pietro, and things had gone pretty well.
Except for the fact he hated you.
A mutant with no understanding of your powers, he saw you as lowly of such a high-ranking mutant’s attention. He couldn’t stand that Wanda had befriended you. And she didn’t dare tell him you were anything more.
I can’t. What if he leaves? He’s all we have left.
It hurt, but you understood her reasoning. Their mother was gone. Sokovia was gone. To ask for anything more would be selfish in all the wrong ways.
“Dad is coming for a visit tomorrow,” she suddenly blurted, eyes wide with apologies as she bit her lip. Her words were simplistic but they left you deflating as they settled in.
You were supposed to be celebrating your anniversary tomorrow.
“I’m sorry,” Wanda mumbled, grasping your limp hand. “He spoke with Charles and they have a ceasefire so he can wish us an early birthday.”
Swallowing your pain, you forced a false smile and nodded. “Makes sense.”
“We can celebrate another day,” she offered brightly.
“…yeah.”
-X-
Except another day never came.
Magneto’s arrival brought nothing but heartache. Whisking them away for a short time, it only took a few promises and fatherly words for the twins to decide to leave the sanctity of the mansion. She came to you in a wisp of red and frantic energy, imploring kisses and soft words begging for understanding.
“I’ll come back for you,” Wanda swore, cupping your flushed cheeks as tears trickled from your eyes. “I’ll convince him you’re powerful and then he’ll let you come too. I just need time.”
Your heart cracked. There was no way you’d ever flutter to that man’s side. The man who had murdered humans and his own kind recklessly. The man who was stealing your heart away. But you couldn’t tell her that. Wouldn’t shatter her fantasy like that. She chose her side.
It just wasn’t with you.
-X-
They say young love and old money don’t mix. And, despite that it was mutant status instead of money, it was true. Weeks turned to months which rolled into years and you realized she wasn’t coming back for you. No longer a young mutant with uncontrollable powers, you were slowly working into your Omega-level status with grace.
Charles noticed your power early on – when you finally started to discover the things that made you special – and left you under the proverbial wing of the impressive Jean Grey.
Mimicry was something he’d only seen once – with Rogue – but you were something more. A brief touch of skin left you permanently gifted with abilities. No running out. No accidental deaths. You could just… learn the things that made a mutant special and master them.
It was utterly mind-blowing.
But it hadn’t meant anything. That status you worked into. Because the next time you saw the beloved witch-like mutant, she was clinging to the arm of a robot. Not even a fucking mutant, which left you reeling as it dawned upon you that maybe it wasn’t status. Maybe it was you.
You weren’t enough for her.
Part of you didn’t want to accept the hug she offered – a halfheartedly breathless “hi” escaping – but you couldn’t stop yourself from sinking into the embrace one final time. As skin met skin, you inhaled sharply at the powers joining the plethora of others settled inside. The only thing you could think was how well Jean had taught you to keep your mutation suppressed in moments like these. Otherwise the poor coffee shop you were awkwardly hugging in would’ve been left with only red magic and pain.
Wanda could feel the shift – her mutation reaching out to you – but you were quick to force it out, sending her stumbling away in surprise. When you’d known her, your powers had been far too repressed for either of you to know what was truly happening. It wasn’t until she was gone…
That the seal broke and everything came tumbling out.
“I… um… Vis, this is (Y/N),” Wanda finally announced as she remembered the robotic thing she’d come strolling in with. He was wearing a human face but your x-ray vision that you’d picked up could see what was truly inside.
Nothing but bolts and wires.
“Pleasure to meet you.” His voice was pleasant but you could hear the tension lying underneath as he studied you.
You hummed, nodding briefly at the introduction. It was weird, seeing Wanda clinging to a glorified toaster, but you refused to be snide or make a nasty remark so you kept your expression neutral.
“How’s Piet?” you inquired, ignoring the questions lingering in Wanda’s eyes.
“He’s good. How are you? Did you ever –”
Darkness fell over your expression for a moment and your voice waivered slightly. “Does it matter? You never came back. Just like your father. Nothing but pretty words. I’ll come back except you didn’t. I knew you wouldn’t, but you only proved me right and that’s what hurts most.”
Wanda’s cheeks went warm and you saw the robot take a step forward, though you had no qualms about ripping him apart with your bare hands if he got too close.
You decided a cup of cheap coffee wasn’t worth dealing with whatever was going to happen if you stayed. Sidestepping around the floundering witch and her weird boyfriend, you paused just before the door, hand inches from the handle.
“But to answer your question, yes. I did.”
Sweeping out of the café, you left before she could say anything.
Petty, but effective.
The closure that came from seeing Wanda again was all you needed to accept your new truth. Jean was not just a friend – and you were okay with that. You’d grown together, as friends and as mutants, so when the sting of Wanda’s appearance faded, you were swift in showing the beautiful woman what she meant to you. Flowers, sweet dates, a first kiss under a budding pink dogwood you’d brought into existence years ago when you were starting to understand your mutation.
Jean was fine with taking things slow. It wasn’t a secret what had happened between you and Magneto’s daughter and the toll it had taken on you. Plus she had little experience of her own (only an awkward, brief relationship with Scott having filled some of her time). But you knew you’d wasted too much life on a woman who only enjoyed the affection you offered so it didn’t take long for your two separate bedrooms to morph into a bigger room within the mansion and for things to shift forward into forever.
Nights once spent in dismay became nights of passion. Of declarations of love and hope. Of lives spent together. Never a single thought of the lost twins flittering through your mind.
-X-
Christmas morning was in full swing by the time you both wandered into the main rooms, fingers tangled together and a swagger in your step as memories of your personal celebrations played like movies in your head.
(What could you say? Your partner was hot.)
Gifts were floating through the air as the professor passed presents to the children bounding about. With so many diverse backgrounds, he made it a point to celebrate every holiday and the people he housed and loved – and that loved him in return – appreciated his dedication. You could hear Frosty the Snowman coming from the television (low volume meant nothing to enhanced hearing) and you chuckled.
“Always a classic,” you mumbled, pointing to the television when Jean glanced at you.
Shaking her head in amusement, Jean pressed a kiss to your cheek and settled into your side as you stood by Charles.
“Ah, good morning, you two,” he greeted with a wide smile. “Merry Christmas.”
His chair twisted to face you, his smile genuine though his eyes held a worry you weren’t expecting.
“Why is she coming?” Jean questioned abruptly, startling you from your confusion.
“They’re both coming,” Charles amended, silently imploring Jean to steady herself. “They have been celebrating their holidays but wished to join in ours for the day. Pietro has missed Kurt dearly and while I may not trust them after being with Magneto for so long, I don’t think they plan to ruin the day. And if they do, I’m confident it wouldn’t be a terrible task to send them away.”
Pausing, you peered between the professor and your frustrated girlfriend. You weren’t an idiot; it was obvious what was happening but you could admit you really didn’t care if they came to spend the day at the mansion.
“They were here for a long time. It makes sense,” you chimed in, squeezing Jean’s hip affectionately.
“Will you be alright, (Y/N)?” Charles asked, gaze earnest as he stared at you.
“Of course,” you shrugged. “There’s no hard feelings anymore. Besides, I would pick Jean in any lifetime. Without hesitation.” You would’ve kissed her, had you not been standing before the man you both saw as a father. Loving Jean was probably the easiest thing you’d ever done if you were being honest with yourself.
Jean pressed tighter into your side but her response – though it was closer to a swoon – was silenced by a pointed cough. Peeking over your shoulder, you caught sight of your expressively wounded ex and her awkwardly swaying brother. She was clutching a gift in her hand and you knew – for whatever reason – that it was for you.
Gods help me.
-X-
It was weird, having to dodge Wanda whenever you were left alone for longer than a few seconds. Despite how hard she was attempting to stay with you, Jean was often called away to help with one thing or another (though the professor was quick to send her back) and Wanda would attempt to wiggle her way into the place she vacated – figuratively.
Pietro had hugged you when they first appeared and apologized quietly, both for never returning and for whatever madness his sister was planning, and you simply patted his back. You never held bad blood with him; you’d only been angry with Wanda for lying, after all. You understood wanting to rejoin your lost family, you just wish she hadn’t made promises she never intended to keep.
It was evident you weren’t going to escape so you stepped away from the throngs of children and teenaged mutants, waiting for the inevitable.
In a different world, seeing Wanda strolling shyly over to you with a timid smile and blushing cheeks would’ve lit your heart ablaze but here, you only felt a slight bubble of… something. Not love or even friendship but not apathy either.
Your feelings were very… neutral. Like you were fine with her existence but you didn’t need her to be a part of the life you were building. Once upon a time, you would’ve hated yourself for feeling this way but that version of yourself had died long ago.
“Happy Christmas,” she breathed, offering you the small present held tight in her hand.
Accepting it reservedly, you didn’t attempt to open it and instead chose to watch the woman who’d both gripped and broken your young heart. She seemed remiss you hadn’t opened it but you could see the nerves she was steeling as she took a deep inhale.
“I’m sorry,” she finally said, shoulders falling as she apologized. For which part, you didn’t know but you were intrigued by whatever was going on. “You’re right. I abandoned you when I had promised to come back. Dad pushed so hard against the idea of you that I couldn’t bring myself to come back. Then Vision came into our lives and Dad thought he was worth something, even if he was just made in a lab instead of being a mutant and I fell for it.
“We were even going to get married.” This didn’t come as a shock. Wanda had always wanted the married with children lifestyle. “But I couldn’t say I do. I was standing there, staring at his face, and I only saw you. It might’ve been young love back then but I still love you now. With you being an Omega, Dad wants to meet you properly this time and…”
So that’s what this was about. She only came back because of status. It was always about status.
“Young love and old money don’t mix,” you cut in, tilting your head slightly. “This isn’t about love. This is about your dad. About some stupid mutant status that doesn’t mean a fucking thing. I don’t care how you found out. I don’t care what your fucking father wants. I don’t care that now I’m worth something to you. You were fine without me then, and you’ll continue being fine without me now. I feel bad for the fridge you left at the altar but I’m sure he found a lovely toaster somewhere to stick his robotic man parts in.
“You’re so caught up on the delusion of making your father love you genuinely that you’d sell your own soul for him. When we met, you wanted to change the world. But then you got drunk on affection from me and attention from your father. I don’t want whatever is in this box. I don’t want you professing anything else.”
Pressing the box into her hand, you watched the realization you were truly gone wash over her.
“I will always remember you fondly,” you admitted, “But I want Jean. Not… whatever the fuck this is. I want the woman who continuously picked me. I want the woman who stood by me while I figured out my mutation. The woman who helped me control it. Who helped me learn what it meant to be powerful.”
You could sense Jean before you saw her, noticed how she slipped between you and Wanda protectively without sparing it a single thought. Her back was tense, poised to defend.
“You sure have a thing for redheads, huh?” Wanda hissed, stepping away from the enraged X-man.
“At least mine is natural,” Jean deadpanned.
A snort of surprise filled the stifling space, your hand flying over your mouth as you watched your girlfriend square off with your ex.
“You don’t deserve her.”
Hand falling to Jean’s back, you pressed against her as you stared at Wanda. “She deserves better than me, honestly. But she chose me too, Wanda. Which is more than I can say for you.”
The silence was deafening, Wanda’s devastation palpable. She was gone before you could say anything else though (which was probably a good thing, all things considered), leaving behind nothing but the unseen shards of her shattered heart.
Some things will just never mix, like young love and old money.

Updated my verse page here! Still working on info for the two newbies but everything else is all collected. Mobile-friendly version under the cut!
Amamiya Ren Verses
~Main Timeline Verses~
Getting Out There: The main verse. Encapsulates the period from the beginning of the main game to the end of Strikers. This is also the default tag for anything without a definite verse or for minor AUs without their own dedicated verses.
Life Keeps Changing (Post-Strikers Ren): What could be more stressful than saving the world from false gods? College. Having returned to Tokyo for university, Ren now has to deal with establishing himself as a functioning adult. Frankly, there are times when he’d rather be getting beaten up by shadows again.
Inaba Blues (Kid Ren): Growing up in a rural town sucks. You have to deal with puberty, school, bullies, a series of strange murders and kidnappings, and your favorite department store getting a new mascot that creeps you the fuck out.
~Alternate Uni-Verses~
The Devil with 22 Faces (Palace Ruler Ren): An alternative course of events for Royal’s third seminar. After defeating Yaldabaoth, Ren inadvertently absorbs the god’s power into himself. Overwhelmed, Ren suffers a mental breakdown and manifests his own palace over Tokyo. In his corrupted mental state, Ren believes that control and order are the source of all suffering, and that true happiness can only be achieved through absolute chaos. He seeks to create a reality with no rules; where anyone can do or be anything and no one needs to hide their true self. 
His palace manifests as a brightly colored, cell-shaded, comic book-esque Tokyo that twists and warps at random. Areas he frequents, like Yongen-Jaya or Shibuya Square, are more stable than places he doesn’t, since he has a clearer image of them in their mind. Also present in these places are fragments of Ren’s shadow. These shadows all wear full-face masks that each show an expression relevant to their location (ie a customer service smile at places where he works)
More info here (shadow design) and here (final boss form)
A Not-So-Gentle Gentleman Detective (Justice Ren): An arcana-swapped version of Ren, taking Akechi’s role in the story. After a series of unfortunate events earlier in his life, Ren ends up under the thumb of Shido. He plays the role of the friendly Gentleman Detective on the surface, but acts as the Black-Hooded Assassin behind the scenes, all while secretly plotting his revenge.
More info here (background), here (third semester info), here (casual design), and here (metaverse designs)
What's a King to a God (Pride Ren): A part of the larger Another Story swap au, Ren takes the role of Shido. He's the head of a large business empire, and now he's turned his sights on becoming prime minister. He has the whole country under his thumb, but he wants more.
More info here
Two Pair (Twin Ren): Twin au with @learcarum's Akira. Between the two of them, Ren always found himself being second best. While he loves his twin dearly, he can't help but resent and envy him.
Reflection of the True Self (Demon Ren): Due to the strange inner-workings of the Metaverse, Ren finds himself physically fused with Arsene. While to the average person, he looks no different than before, to those aware of the Metaverse, the giant pair of wings and demonic horns are unmistakable.
Welcome to the Velvet Room (Attendant Ren): It’s stated that anyone who enters the Velvet Room must first form a contract. Doing so grants one the power of the Wild Card, but what do you have to give up in exchange?  After the Phantom Thieves plan to prevent Ren’s assassination fails; a new attendant appears in the Velvet Room. This attendant, Adrien, looks suspiciously like Ren, but has no memories prior to awakening in the space between dreams and reality.
Just Call Me Lupin the Fourth (Real Thief Ren): Palaces? Metaverse? Never heard of her! The Infamous ‘Kaitou Joker’ is too busy stealing stuff in the real world (with the help of his talking cat) to worry about changing anyone’s heart. After all, there’s no need to make someone confess their crimes if you just steal the evidence. Plus he might get a chance to swipe their rare jewel collection while he’s at it.
A Prince’s Loyal Knight (Traitor Ren): Instead of going through with the Phantom Thieves’ plan to outwit Akechi’s November assassination, Ren makes the choice to betray his friends and team up with his would-be killer. Under Development

The item she's holding is actually a small pillow which some rumors were heard that this skeleton looking pillow is cursed for a long time and anyone who holds it is going to get cursed until someone else holds it. It seems that Pig doesn't care about it. Either way, it's still a pillow.

Finally finished the next fan comic for @pokemon-ash-aus false twins AU. Hope you like it.
Presenting...
Just One Question...

This time with more accurate coloration and fluffy Indigo.
There is a reason why the color and style of text is inconsistent. It's not just because I'm lazy.

HS AU - Prelude to Chaos
If it were my choice, I'd make SGRUB & SBURB all part of a giant illusion cooked up by Hussie who turns out to be a megalomaniac & the true main villain of the story because HE was the one who originally created the game first to make things more interesting.
This would be a crossover with Danny Phantom because of my hc that every franchise ever made is all part of the multiverse & the plane that connects them all is the Ghost Zone or Infinite Realms.
When Huss first created the game, he was living in a universe where Humans & Trolls were allies & Earth hosted quite a few Troll immigrants. Those included all the Trolls we've come to know, including the ancestors.
For example, the Sufferer, Kazien Vantas & the Disciple, Nyalin Leigon, are together & have 2 sons & 2 daughters all from the same clutch with Meulin being the eldest, Kankri the second eldest, followed by Karkat, then Nepeta. In Troll circles, when you choose a lifemate, you take on your partner's last name & clip it to the end of yours. Any wrigglers you have will take that name too & once they've grown up & have their own hive, they take on the last name of their parent of the same sex as them. This system applies to most of the others too.
Not to mention that Trolls were more mentally stable because of this & a lot of the ones we knew were different from how we remember them. Tavros, for instance, while still in a wheelchair, was far more self-assured & not in the false bravado way. Also, Karkat didn't hate himself. Sure, he could be a little depreciating at times & had some depression issues, but he didn't hate himself. He was also in a 3-way pan-quadranted relationship with Dave & Jade who always made sure to let him know how amazing they thought he was, which helped. Not to mention that Dave didn't feel the perpetual need to be cool at all times & allowed himself to be a dork on occasion.
Also, Kankri was in a mongamous pan-quadranted relationship with Jane. Dirk was in a flushed relationship with Equis & a pale one with Jane, Cronos was in a pale-tinted flushed relationship with Roxy, & Tavros was in a palemance with Jade.
More interesting things: Ambrose D. Strider & Roxanne Lalonde were married & had 4 kids; Roxy, the twins Dave & Robin, then Rose. Roxanne's sister, Rosemary, had a one-night stand with Daniel A. Verlaine, Bro's cousin, & they ended up with Dirk.
Roxanne & Ambrose then divorced & Roxanne is now dating Samuel Cooke (Dadbert) who lost his wife in an accident years ago & is the father of Jane & John. His twin brother, Dean Cooke (Dad Crocker), is the father of Jake & Jade. Their parents were Betty Crocker & Jackson Cooke. Jackson had another family with one Annabelle Claire before getting into a formal relationship with Betty, however it's speculated that he may have been cheating on his previous wife with the Crocker woman. It wasn't until Annabelle got sick & died that he got to marry Betty & have twin sons with her.
Anyway, Troll culture was vastly different than what it was in the comics & games mostly due to Hussie always making changes to it to suit his needs.
For instance, while Indigos were always religious & entertainment focused & tended to be more barbarians or berserkers (which, in real life were more shamanistic, being something like the Spirit Walkers from LoL & the Indigos were more so a mix of that & the classic idea of jesters, meaning the only person who could speak honestly with royalty & actually be allowed to keep their head provided that they do so in a humorous enough manner) in battle, they weren't intolerant clown-cultists that massacred thousands without reason & didn't wear makeup every second of every day. Rather, culturally, they actually tended to honor & celebrate the religious history of their cultures via festivals, stories, plays, & other events. They would also get tattoos depicting important moments in their lives, leaving their faces untouched, & wore war paint on their faces, but only during certain ceremonies or in times of actual war. It was considered disrespecting their ancestors to wear it at any other time.
There were also actual family units back then, but they tended to live in colonies where grubs & wrigglers weren't just taken care of by the family, but also members of the colony at large. It's very "it takes a town to raise a child" & gave a sense of community. This is because there was no SGRUB or SBURB back then.
Also, things like monogamous pan-quadrantism (or single pair relationships that fit into all four quadrants at once) were far more common & accepted. It was also understood to be very healthy mentally. Because of their empathy powers, Crimsons & Limes were far more likely to fall into these categories as shown by the Signless & the Disciple's relationship.
Also, incest was just as disgusting to Trolls as it is for humans. Mostly because of how it caused negative mutations in DNA. Huss is the one with weird ideas about it & was projecting his weirdness onto the Trolls.
Lusii were still a thing, but they were more like nannies & pets than anything.
Male/female matespritship pairs could reproduce together without the use of Mother Grubs, which were originally much smaller than in the comics & were mostly only used so kismesis pairs & same sex matesprit pairs could have grubs of their own.
It must be known that kismesis are unable to reproduce naturally on their own regardless of sex because it takes a lot of love humours to produce healthy grubs in that way.
Also, because of their less cynical nature at the time, Trolls believed in love instead of relegating it to mere pity.
At the time, the hemospectrum was less of a pyramid & more a line focusing more on balance. While Fuschias had always been in charge, so too had the Crimsons in order to balance out the power. The Fuschias represented the head of the coldbloods while the Crimsons/Limes represented the head of the warmbloods. The power of Limes & Crimsons is psychic empathy & the ability to share emotions. It was traditional for Fuschias & Crimsons in power to be in at least one quadrant together, preferably flushed or pale, as equal rulers in order to keep each other in check. Because of the Limes & Crimsons' more emotional-based ability, they were ideal for the part of therapists & peacekeepers, while Fuschias were the warriors. Crimsons & Limes also happened to be waterdwellers like the Violets & Fuschias, except they were most inspired by amphibians than fish & preferred fresh water. Limes couldn't survive too long in saltwater, but Crimsons could survive in it indefinitely.
Thing is, the Troll culture has been rebooted & satirized by Huss so many times that they have very little of their own culture anymore. They don't even remember their original creator god, Atalanti; a fusion god of dual nature that resembles the Hindu god Ardhanarishvara depicted as Shiva & Parvati fused together & the Greek god Hermaphrodite after his encounter with the water nymph, Salmacis. Atalanti is supposed to be a story of great love, the original god & goddess having gone through great relationship changes from enemies, to being mediated, to friends, to finally lovers that had mindblowing sex that disrupted the other gods' creations, at which point their fellow cosmic gods turn on them, punishing them by fusing the god & goddess together, creating Atalanti. This is where the Troll concept of Quadrants comes from: a reflection of Atalanti's journey through relationships.
Story goes that the punishment backfired as Atalanti was thrilled by their new existence in a similar way to how Garnet from Steven Universe was. Atalanti then went on to create the original Troll homeworld & Trolls themselves.
In reflection, Crimsons & Fuschias were specifically created in Atalanti's image; Fuschias typically being female-oriented hermaphrodites & Crimsons being male-oriented hermaphrodites.
Now, Trolls have lost that connection with their past & all they have is the Dark Carnival.
Think about the actual naming conventions for bands & whatnot of Alternia. "Troll Green Day?" "Troll Will Smith?" It's all just Huss (in-universe Huss, that is) being too lazy to be more creative & research actual Troll bands & actors.
Huss created a virtual reality game by striking a deal with the eldritch horrors living in the Void or Unworld separating universes from each other & the Ghost Zone. This deal would allow him to trick kids into causing a manufactured doomsday for the universe they lived in, with the promise of creating a new world that they could mold to their whims. The reality is that the game is a parasitic reality-twisting computer virus meant to invade preexisting universes at the dawn of their creation & when it gets there with the help of naive children, it uses the time between absorbing the creation energy of the universe before starting the game up again, destroying the old universe, giving the energy to the horrors who then use it to expand the Unworld, & move on to the next.
The dream bubbles are actually meant to imprison 'dead' players in the Void & keep them from moving on to the Ghost Zone where they would've started on their Journey of the Soul(TM). (For more details, go read my 'Explaining the Ghost Zone' post.)
The game has been recycling the same characters over & over again, creating worse & worse situations for them until the events of the comics took place.
(A/N: Also, Huss seems to have a bit of an obsession with the LGBTQ agenda & feels the need to make practically everyone gay to some extent. I just find it strange that John is legitimately the only straight character in a healthy relationship. The only other canon straight relationship was Dadbert & Momlonde & we all know how that ended.)
(It just feels like a needlessly woke stab at heterosexuality. Like, we're somehow the enemy or something.)
(I'm not about to tell anyone how to live their lives, but it just feels very unbalanced.)
(Also, his obsession with a president that's only real contribution was a botched attempt at free medicare & spent most of his time in the white house on vacation, troubles me.)
Now, listen, I'm not normally a proponent of Death of the Author, being the type who generally tries to respect the creator, at least to a degree, but depending on the situation, I might suspend such habits for a time.

Pull To Talk
uhh heres a toystory au no one asked for 
*
When Junior was picked up from the gutter, all he could think was: shit. He plastered on his neutral face and let his limbs go limp. 
���Kevin,” a adult woman scolded. “Put that down!” 
“Mom,” pleaded the kid. “It’s Junior! He’s limited edition!” 
“Kevin,” his mother warned. “It’s probably someone else’s.”
“No name on the tag,” Kevin reasoned. “The whole story is that whoever finds him gives him a name and a story. But this one is blank!” 
“I would rather you not bring home a doll covered in gutter gunk,” she said, though it seemed she knew she had lost the fight. “Fine. Make sure this one doesn’t get lost, okay? Like Jean.” 
“I won’t,” Kevin said, opening up his backpack and depositing Junior within. 
“Well?” his mother asked. “What do you want to name him?”
The boy hummed, and then said: “Neil.” 
*
The boy’s room was miraculously neat: Neil had never been inside a child’s room before, but he’d done some calculated guesswork and Kevin didn’t quite fit in. 
It wasn’t until he’d been positioned by Kevin’s bed. He had a window shelf dedicated to his toys, where they remained still and perfectly positioned. He didn’t have many and Neil didn’t recognise any of the models. None of them came from his franchise or line: that was a relief. He didn’t particularly feel like interacting with a Lola or DiMaccio anytime soon, especially seeing as he’d only just sewn his limbs back on a few days prior. 
His story was simple: a comic surrounding his father’s midnight murders evolved into the story of a missing mother and her son. Whilst Mary’s narrative was well hashed out - a brother, a terrible decision leading to a violent marriage - running away with 5 million dollars - her son’s story was kept a mystery. Junior dolls were far and few between, seeing as he didn’t feature much in the Wesninski comics. The kids who purchased Junior dolls were meant to give him a name and a story. It wasn’t up to him.
That was fine by Neil, so long as he was kept well away from his father and his many cronies.  
Kevin nudged over a plastic doll dressed up in hip-hop gear with a bandana holding back her short curls, positioning Neil against the window. 
“Welcome home,” Kevin said. His mother called him to lunch, so he gave Neil a gentle pat on the head and darted off.  
The doll beside him slumped immediately. “Jesus, does he have to put me in such difficult positions every time?” 
“You can’t whine,” said a blonde Bratz doll as she kicked off her extremely tall heels and slumped to the floor. “Those shoes are a crime.”
“Are we all just going to ignore the fact that Kevin brought home someone new?” cheered a teddy bear, ambling over. He was a bit worn and thin, but the twinkle in his eye was just as bright as the rainbow ribbon around his neck. “Hi there! I’m Nicky!” 
Neil just blinked. 
“Don’t mind him,” said the hip-hop dancer. “He’s always like that. I’m an old DAN5ER model. Dan for short. It’s nice to meet you.” She held out her hand: her elbow squeaked as Neil hesitantly shook it. 
“I don’t remember a looker like you on the shelves,” the Bratz doll remarked, hopping over on foot-less stumps. She pinched Neil’s cheek and looked into his eyes. “Hm. Real glass beads. Aren’t you just fancy?”
“That’s Allison,” Dan sighed. 
A Madeline doll ambled over.  She had white hair that a child - not Kevin, for it was far too messy - had coloured in with various textas and a pinafore dress. “I’m Renee. We’re glad to have you here. It’s been a while since Kevin has brought someone new home.”
“Why?” Neil looked between the curious faces of Kevin’s other toys. “Was it Jean? His mother mentioned Kevin losing him.”
By their reactions, he could tell he’d hit the nail. 
“Cutthroat,” came a new voice. “How refreshing.” 
Neil looked up and saw a small, blonde figurine, perched on top of a stack of books. His features were angular and he wore all black. Beside him was a toy identical to the first but obviously a different model: he had different clothes and hairstyle, and was wearing glasses. 
The first blonde figurine hopped off the books and landed at Neil’s feet, standing up from his crouch with a slight stiffness to his knees. The sleeves of his jumper were pulled to his wrists, where he wore little black fingerless gloves. 
“Where’d he find you, then? Garage sale? School? You didn’t come with no packaging.” A finger prodded Neil’s deflated shoulder. “A little worse for wear, too. Maybe he just saved you from landfill.” 
“Andrew,” said the Renee doll. “He’s only new.” 
“Right,” he said. Neil watched with horror as his head spun around, showing a secondary face etched into the back of the figurine’s head. Andrew’s second expression was a twisted grimace that looked more like forced laughter than genuine happiness. “Welcome! We’re sure as hell excited to have less space on the shelf, but at least there’s a new target for Riko’s twisted attention! Great to have you. Hopefully you won’t last long!” 
Neil shot a look at Dan, who only rolled her lips into her mouth in response, turning away. 
Andrew’s head twisted back around, his bored expression far more palatable than his false euphoria. He glanced at the Renee doll and jerked his head: together they jumped off the shelf, onto Kevin’s bed and then down the crack between the mattress and the wall. 
“That was Andrew,” Dan said, sounding tired. “His twin, Aaron, is still up there.”
“Won’t you come say hi, Aaron?” Nicky called out. Aaron just shuffled away from the edge of the book stack in response, disappearing out of sight. 
“Matt’s still not back,” Allison pointed back. “If he’s not here by the time Kevin gets back from lunch, the kid is bound to notice.”
“He’ll be back.” At Neil’s arched eyebrow, Dan explained. “Matt’s my boyfriend. He keeps watch just in case Riko comes over.” 
Neil didn’t understand. He’d only seen Kevin and his mother here. Who was Riko?  “What about Kevin?”
Dan cocked her head. “What about him?”
“We’re Kevin’s toys, aren’t we?”
The doll hesitated for a moment, as if she was trying to figure out what the right thing was to say. 
“Kevin is a good kid,” she said, finally. “He only wants us to be happy, but he can’t always keep us safe. ”
Whatever she was talking about, Neil knew that he had to find a way out of here before it happened. He didn’t like being around other toys: for a while it’d been just him and Mary, but he’d been on his own for a long time. New names and faces were overwhelming him. 
The hidden loop was cold against his skin. If you pulled it, he’d say my name is Nathaniel Wesninski, or I don’t know who I am anymore. He kept it hidden under his sweater, praying that no one would ever find it. 
Whoever this Riko was, Neil would have faced worse in his time. These toys didn’t know what it was like, and for their sakes, he hoped they never would. 
All he had to do was sit tight for a little while, plaster on a stitched smile and pretend everything was fine. When the moment was right, he’d run off again. 
Just as his story intended.

CANON FACTS ABOUT DREAMTALE
simply because some people have been pissing me off a little over our wide Internet, I’ve decided to post stuff that is 100% canon about Dreamtale, a beautiful AU which unfortunately not many people know well enough, and for that they think it’s worthless, garbage and/or a blatant plagiarism. so, since most of this info is unknown to many of those who know about this AU, I’m here to open your eyes and relieve you of your stress!
this is just a long, helpful, awfully necessary summary, because all the posts spitting false information about Dreamtale make my blood boil even if it’s not even my AU. here you’ll find stuff you might already know, but it ranges from the basics to “secret” facts only certain people have had access to thus far (aka spanish speakers who know joku has a youtube channel)
remember, all of this is canon unless stated otherwise, no theories included (speculations with enough proof are still valid). thank me later.
* (joku, si por alguna razón estás leyendo esto y no lo quieres aquí por lo que sea, yo lo quitaré. pero no quiero que la gente siga hablando de esta forma tan pésima sobre tu AU y algunos merecen saber más de lo que tienen a su alcance.)
----
General facts:
- Within the concept of the AU, there are 3 vital trees that keep the balance of the universe: Life, Magic and Feelings, all protected by extremely powerful guardians (Quetzalcoatl, Lanny and Nim respectively). Each tree is in a hidden world; nobody must know where they are in order to keep them safe, though some people have found them, both good and bad intentioned. Because of this, Dreamtale occurs in a world completely unrelated to any place from the original Undertale, since it’s the occult world where the Tree of Feelings resides. This AU, by consequence, breaks the 4th wall several times.
- Dream and Nightmare were created after their subsequent mother was attacked by a human wielding a weapon, a dagger, powerful enough to wound a guardian in an attempt to obtain one of the golden apples. It’s possible this human was one of Quetzalcoatl’s creations, since at the time of the attack there was no life near the Tree of Feelings, and that it might have been deliberate. Dream and Nightmare were originally little fireballs, yellow and purple respectively. Nim was going to give them human bodies to protect their frail forms, but the energy that radiated from the fireballs made them explode as they had very few escape points. They were then given skeleton bodies (based on Swap!Sans), which allowed that energy to flow without trouble - this is why they are not considered Sanses per se. Dream and Nightmare are currently 503 years old (their birthday is the 21st of December).
- The apple incident occurred when Dream and Nightmare were 6 years old, physically, which meant Nightmare went through 6 years of bullying.
- The encouraging voice Nightmare heard before eating the apples was actually the conscience of the man who killed Nim, as he ended up being absorbed by the negative side of the Tree. It hasn't been specified if he had any more direct influence on Nightmare’s corruption, however.
- Dream can’t touch the black apples, and Nightmare can’t touch the golden ones, otherwise they would invert. It’s unknown what would exactly happen if Dream touched the black apples, and it will remain unknown in canon as he would never do such a thing. It’s also unknown what would happen if both twins touched a single apple at the same time.
- Dream and Nightmare were not true guardians, only replacements. They had to learn how to unleash their true powers on their own.
- At some unknown point, Dream met Ink, who in this instance made him believe he was a kind-hearted protector just like him. Dream thought Ink was hiding his emotions for some reason, until one day he saw him not doing anything to help when some people were in trouble. This caused a heavy argument between them that almost ended in a fight. That was when Dream realized they had immensely different mindsets, given that Ink didn’t care about people’s wellbeing, and felt like he had been lied to. He doesn’t trust Ink anymore after this, even though he’s unable to hate people.
- The villagers that lived in the world of Dreamtale were overcome by negative energy over the years, and turned into zombie-like, depressed beings that will attack and kill anything they see.
Story depth:
Despite his exterior, Dream actually felt overwhelmed about helping people back in the village, but just like Nightmare, he kept it a secret from everyone. He knew everyone counted on him, but he didn’t really count on anyone, and sometimes, after helping people, he snapped and went off to cry somewhere far away from the village so that no one would realize he was internally suffering.
At some yet unknown point before the apple incident, Dream met a homeless cat-monster while he was crying and saying to himself that he “couldn’t do this anymore”. The monster overheard him, but when asked why he was crying, Dream never told the truth.
This cat was Neil, a new character introduced into the story as of February 2018. He once had a family, his wife and his son, but they were caught in an intentional fire that burned their home down and in an attempt to save them Neil lost his arm. He tried to attack the people of the village because they knew what was going to happen and never did anything to help, but his behavior got him exiled. Long after that, he got a hold of himself and began building a house on his own, a little closer to the village. That was when he and Dream met.
Neil was not too fond of people, and because of this he did not want Dream to come back there. But Dream kept trying to help him, silently building the house alongside him, and over time, Neil began to enjoy Dream’s company and they became friends. Actual friends, and not just one more person taking advantage of his altruism. After this, Dream set a routine: help Neil during the day, and stay with Nightmare at night, or earlier. 
Neil knew Dream had a brother, however he never visited him, or the Tree, or the village in general, as he could not return.
Dream was with Neil when the incident happened. Neil let Dream run off to the village, but followed him after he heard screams. While not being part of it, he came in time to see all the chaos and destruction Nightmare had created seconds before he disappeared. His heart broke when he saw Dream as a stone statue, and even though everyone was gone, he kept coming back there regularly, as if hoping one day he would find his friend alive and well.
Meanwhile, Nightmare built that dark castle he’s known to have and (maybe?) an army of dark Papyri to help him. However, the comic this was first shown in depicted Dream under their custody – this is no longer canon, as Dream was never taken there and was instead left in the village.
Later on, Lanny, the guardian of the Tree of Magic, traveled over to where Dream was. Being overprotective, Neil threatened her to get away from him, but after exchanging some words they made up their minds to get Dream out of there and find a way to help him together. Lanny told Neil that the magic of the Yggdrasil (aka the Tree of Magic) could heal Dream, however she was only a materialization and couldn’t do anything outside of her world. Neil decided to take Dream there himself, then.
They set up a plan, but when Neil came back for the statue, it was gone. Earlier on, Nightmare had moved it to a deep fissure in the center of the village where the main town used to be to stop Neil from finding it. When he did, he was ambushed by Nightmare and his ‘ally’, Ccino, a Sans from an AU called Fluffytale.
Before all of this happened, Nightmare had found Ccino being beaten up by some undefined people. He enjoyed this at first, but the memories of the real Nightmare about being bullied made him snap and he killed the assailants. When Ccino thanked him, Nightmare only told him that he didn’t do it for him, he did it for him, his ‘real’ self. After that began a toxic relationship between the two, the only canon pairing in Dreamtale thus far. Ccino felt protected with Nightmare, and because he was someone depressive, Nightmare let him stay close; since he fed on negative feelings, he was like a constant charger for him, and he used that to his advantage. He felt nothing for him, and that was the only reason they were together. It was a deal: if Ccino said he no longer wanted to be with him, Nightmare would most likely kill him.
Both of them attacked Neil as he tried to get Dream away from there, but he still made it to the point where Lanny was waiting for him in order to teleport him to her world without Nightmare following. There, Lanny explained that the magic that had turned Dream to stone didn’t actually come from the Yggdrasil but from extremely powerful hatred, and she was no longer sure the Tree itself could do anything for him. After this, it’s unknown what exactly happens to any of the three, though Neil is known to end up dying and Lanny eventually becomes Dream’s teacher and trainer. He was still stuck in stone for 400+ years, though.
Before or after Dream is set free, Nightmare will try to snatch the fruits from the two remaining trees, actually managing to steal one (from which tree is still unknown).
*Note that, since his creator has left the Undertale fandom, Ccino is no longer in Dreamtale and it's unknown if the parts of the story where he appeared will still be in or if they will be completely reworked.
** There was a comic, probably separate from the ongoing one, that showed Dream finding his brother, just like he used to be, apparently dead. While he mourned him, the little, purple fireball that represented his true form appeared out of nowhere, telling him that he was indeed dead. At some point after that, the corrupted Nightmare attacked Dream, and tore off his cape while he was trying to escape. This is where Dream realized his brother was gone. The cape he wears with his new attire is the same one, except he fixed it up as best as he could.
Endings:
Dreamtale has four endings: good, bad, neutral and true. The upcoming comic revolves around the true ending.
- In the bad ending, Nightmare manages to kill Dream and obtain the last golden apple, making him extremely powerful and filling the world with despair.
- In the neutral ending, Dream manages to kill Nightmare, but saves one last black apple which he then takes back to what’s left of the Tree of Feelings and joins with his own, burying them together like seeds. This ends up killing him, though. The two halves of the apples make the Tree regrow and everything rewind to the day they were born, much like a reset. This ending will keep repeating everything over and over again, and it’s described as the worst one because of it. 
- In the true ending, Dream becomes a real guardian after defeating his brother in likely a different way than in the neutral ending. He manages to unleash his full power, this breaking his skeleton body and giving him a more humanoid appearance.
- The good ending is the only one that hasn’t been specified yet.
Character facts:
Dream:
- If Dream had been the bullied one, he would have held on throughout the years. Nightmare, being made of negative feelings, couldn’t help feeling overwhelmed by the hatred, even if he used to be the more brash of the two brothers, but Dream wouldn’t have let it get to him.
- Dream always spent a lot of time with Nightmare, healing him when he was hurt and even breaking the presents people gave him to make new ones for his brother after realizing he never got anything. He really looked up to him.
- Dream is very strong, stronger than his brother before the corruption. He can easily lift boulders and other similarly heavy objects without much strain. Dream’s strength is shown in a comical way in, well, the comic, with him easily lifting a stack of heavy concrete bricks while Neil only carried some hay, prompting him to silently say “f*cking kid…”
- The reason why Dream remained clueless after being freed, depicted as having the mentality of a kid, was because he was deprived of his senses for four centuries, and he was physically 6 when the incident happened. He had no way to learn about the world while he was trapped, until Lanny (most likely) told him everything.
- Once Dream gets his new attire, his weaponry changes with him. His arrows are made of positive feelings, which he takes from those around him (this will directly affect them: if someone is really happy and Dream shoots an arrow thanks to those feelings, said person will go from being joyful to just being neutral – never negative in any way). His bow can also split into two daggers joined by the bowstring, however he only uses this when absolutely necessary.
- He has to constantly hop between timelines to stay away from Nightmare and to keep spreading positivity, as his aura is not strong enough to reach every universe if he stays still.
- He has a deep respect for Error, since he knows that if he doesn’t keep the AUs balanced, everybody would die.
- Dream can heal himself, but it's not an extremely fast process. If a wound takes about 3 hours to heal, it would take Dream about 1. He can also heal other people, but that drains his soul's energy and tires him out.
Nightmare:
- Before the bullying started, Nightmare was the more cocky and proud of the brothers. He has always been the more serious one, and is always interested in learning - both normal and corrupted, each in their own ways for their own purposes. The corrupted Nightmare still likes to read.
- Nightmare doesn’t actually have 999 souls, just one, the first apple he ate. The rest are that black goo that surrounds him, an extremely powerful shield that renders him invulnerable to most things; if he were stabbed with something, his body would absorb it and there would be no damage.
- Despite shown using one in that outdated comic, Nightmare can’t actually use Gaster Blasters of any kind.
- The corrupted Nightmare never lies, only hides the truth. He also takes deals very personally and will not hesitate to kill whoever backs off from them (even if he rarely attacks people physically, mostly as a threat).
- The real Nightmare is still in the mind of the corruption, reminding him of important things such as Dream being his brother and all the psychological damage he went through because of the villagers.
- His aura can affect the entire universe he’s in, and many others that are close enough. He doesn’t need to move much to spread negativity.
- Unlike his brother, Nightmare has no respect whatsoever for Error or for anyone who protects the balance of the multiverse. He doesn’t care if Undertale and its AUs die off, as he knows there are many other worlds out there. He still would rather not have any massive massacres, as it would take away the negative power he can obtain from people.
** Dream and Nightmare are rather complex characters, as there are certain things they cannot do or feel because they are driven by more negative or positive energy than anybody else has. This limits their actions and gives them a certain way to behave, ie Dream’s incapability to hate people, (non-corrupted)Nightmare’s instant lack of self-esteem when put under pressure, Nightmare’s lack of love or empathy, Dream’s urge to save any world no matter what… All of this is caused by the energy they are made of and what the world has taught them.
Neil:
- He’s 36 years old, though he lives throughout most of the 496 years Dream is trapped in stone since Dream gave him something to make him live longer (not specified).
- After losing his home and his family and being exiled from the village due to his hostility, he headed off to live in the mountains. He was hostile to people because they never helped him, which prompted them to gossip and say things like he was the one who started the fire.
- More than a friend, Neil saw Dream as the son he’d lost, very few times calling him by his own name and rather using words like kid, boy, etc. He becomes very protective of him and would gladly give his life to keep him safe.
Nim:
- She’s never been fond of mortal life, seeing everyone as careless, greedy creatures.
- Nim didn’t entirely die until the corrupted Nightmare destroyed the Tree; she lived within it, and could still reappear every once in a while, though as a spirit. Dream and Nightmare were the only ones that could see her in this state.
- She never bothered having a good relationship with Dream and Nightmare and they barely ever knew much about her.
Lanny:
- Being an elf herself, the village that surrounds her Tree is populated only by elves. She doesn’t like monsters around the village, as they take too much of the magic the Yggdrasil emanates, which keeps her and the other elves young and gives them longer lifespans.
- Lanny refers to Nightmare as a monster, since she hates him with all her heart for destroying the Tree of Feelings, killing all the people in the village, endangering Dream and thus the precarious balance of feelings, trying to steal the fruits, and etc. She’s generally angry for many of the things that have happened.
- Her wings are not real wings; she can fly (maybe just hover), but not thanks to them. They are an aesthetic, used to make her look prettier according to her. They are an extension of her magic that she can shape at will.
- Lanny was actually in love with Nim, though she never reciprocated her feelings. She was devastated when she died and placed the blame on Dream and Nightmare, just to have someone to blame. She treats Dream with hate.
Quetzalcoatl:
- His true form consists of two giant snakes, one that controls life and other that controls death. They can fuse together to create the human-ish form he’s usually depicted in.
Fun facts:
- Before eating the apples, Dream and Nightmare could not feel people’s emotions. At the same time, they didn’t radiate any kind of positive or negative energy, since the power emitted by the fireballs was something that couldn’t be perceived.
- Dream could have a very, very slim chance to bring Nightmare back without killing him, but odds are he would be the one to die in the attempt: there is a chance that if he touches his soul, a black apple after all, he would turn it golden. However, it’s not bound to work with so much negativity surrounding him, and his arm could start to melt if he tried such thing.
- Dream and Nightmare cannot control people’s dreams or nightmares. At max, Nightmare can mess with people’s minds using what they fear or hate the most to his advantage, this way creating hallucinations and making them eventually go crazy until they can’t keep holding on, and Dream can make people feel better and safer.
- The 3 guardians are all based on mythological creatures; Nim is something of Greek origin (not specified, likely a dryad), Lanny is an elf, and Quetzalcoatl is based on the Aztec god of the same name. They don’t have their own names; they simply took them from things that interested them, as they can watch every world that surrounds them.
- The apples of the Tree of Life are not edible; they are made out of glowing blue crystal. When people die, their souls travel inside these apples. Then, when they are thrown to the ground, these souls break free and are reborn into different people, in different worlds. Thus, the circle of life.
- The Tree of Magic seems to be the only Tree whose fruits are not apples. They look like pears and are rainbow-colored inside.
- Reaper (not exactly the same Reaper/Death/Sans from the Reapertale we all know) has been rumored to have a role in the AU, eventually. Killer may be in, too.
- Joku created Nightmare before she created Dream, for another AU completely different from Dreamtale (cancelled for a long time now) called Underflesh.
- Dreamtale's concept was partially inspired by two movies, these being The Prince of Egypt and Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland.

[Doomstrange] 32 B.C. Roman AU
Imagine there is a 32 B.C. Roman AU in the Battleworld, similar to “1872” and “1602” from the comics.
 The following info is taken from the www.doomipedia.gov.bw/battleworld/realms/32-BC/ page and various other sources.
 TL;DR: Doom is the ruler of Roman Empire and Stephen is his chief priest “Vishantian Maximus”. They were known lovers and received many praises in the society in forms of literature, visual arts, performances. Even the imperial historians characterized Stephen as "the love of Victor's life", "his only true love", "his first love", "his last love", "moral compass in the iron fist". The term "Victor Stephanus" became the synonymous for "Undying love between soul mates". Instead of calling lovers "my dear", Romans call lovers "my Stephanus", in which case, it's not just a sign of affection, but also a praise for beauty and virtues in a lover. Stephanus was often depicted as an idealized symbol for supreme beauty and divine purity. Roman people at the time firmly believed the love between Victor and Stephanus was Platonic, but various folk tales many centuries after often suggest otherwise.  
Different classes of Roman society
Imperial (Victor became)
Patrian = ruling class (Stephen born into)
Plebeian = common people (Stephen became)
Slaves (Victor born into)
  Main Characters
 Victor Cynthius Augustus, a war slave decadent turned gladiator. He later won his glory, influence, and popularity in the war with Barbarians. Victor started his political career as the Roman Military Tribune. He is then elected as consul of the Roman Republic. After many years of struggle with the Senates, lead by Reedius and Antonius, Victor was voted the dictator perpetuus (Dictator for a life time). After joining forces with King Namor, they eliminated Reedius and turned Antonius into a mere figurehead. Victor became Imperator Doom. Senate honour him with the agnomen “Augustus". Finally he reformed Roman society from a republic into an empire. During his reign, Victor and his second in command Stephanus were loved by the Roman citizens like never before. Passing lex Stephania (Law of Stephanus), Victor and Stephanus' abolition of slavery made these people the royal subjects to Emperor Doom like the Roman citizens.
 Stephanus Eugenius Propheta Cordatus, aka St. Stephanus was one of the few Romans with four names, son of a patrician family and the adopted heir of former Vishantian Maximus (Chief priest) Iao. Stephanus was a chief preist in training who always show empathy and compassion to even social classes way below his own. He was famous at a very young age for his intelligence, and talent in both medicine and magi (magic). He later gave up his title, inheritance, and religious power merely to save innocent slaves. Stephanus lost everything, and since he is no longer the patrician class, he defaulted his birthright to pursuit the religious path. He was then elected as the Tribuni Plebis (Tribune of the people) for a record of ten consecutive years. Stephanus became the lover of Victor and his second-in-command. He was appointed Vishantian Maximus after Victor's coronation as Emperor Doom.
 Antonius Amandius Houarnus, adopted heir of former Tribuni Aerarii (Treasury of the State, $$$$) Houardius. Antonius is a famous supergenius inventor. Since his childhood, Antonius developed a close friendship with Stephanus and Reedius. Later the three were alternatively known as "Triumvirate Illuminati". Despite the fact Antonius hated and never trusted Victor, and was once the first senate to challenge Victor's consulship and Victor's intentions as consul, Victor respected Antonius, calling him "almost my only intellectual equal", "intellectually inferior only to Imperator Doom himself". Antonius was elected Magister equitum of the republic, for his genius weapon inventions and influential family background. He was the only high official maintained his office after Victor violently and miraculously eliminated Reedius and restructured the Senate. Antonius openly resented consul Victor and offended Victor with endless hostile actions, trying to bring Victor down as consul. Victor finally lost his patience and planned moves to stripe Magister equitum's power from its title. After wounded in the war, Antonius lost his interest in politics and started several genius infrastructural projects that were far beyond people's imagination at the time.  
 Reedius Richius is often referred to as "the smartest Roman once lived" by himself and his supportors. Obviously, such statements are discredited by Doomipedia.gov.bw as a false, criminal statement. Anyone who dares to make such statements within various Battleworld realms, should be prepared to face the wrath of God Emperor and will likely by prosecuted by Thor Corps. The information on this person from various source (including illegal ones) is limited, controversial and conflicting. He was born into a rich patrician family and was loved as a do-gooder among all social classes. A genius inventor, arguably even smarter than Victor. He became a successful politician at a very young age, and was a head of a secret senate inner circle rumored to be "Illuminati". Reedius was originally attracted to Victor's intelligence and heroic victories in the war, so he helped Victor's campaign to be elected as consul, despite Reedius' best friend Antonius' prejudicial accusations against the slave born hero. Victor helped give birth to Reedius' daughter Valeria, and became her godfather. Later on, however, the ongoing disagreements and struggles between Reedius and Victor intensified the conflict between the consul and the senate. Victor hated Reedius so much that it became openly known personal. Reedius went missing on a tour. Rumors have it that Victor murdered or sent someone to assassinate his political enemy. Victor orders to find Reedius dead or live, but Reedius just seemed to miraculously disappear. His wife Susanna Richius later married Victor and became the second Roman Empress.
 Oanda Eryca Augusta is the daughter of the uprising leader Erycules. In Vishantian Maximus Iao's prophecy, Oanda is a queen of chaos. She will either bring prosperity or doom to a dynasty. After her father's defeat to Victor, her mother Magda, a former Vestal Virgins, begged Iao to take care of Oanda. Iao took Oanda under his wings and engaged her to his adopted son Stephanus. Oanda's beauty most caused wars between neighbouring nations, and she was called the "modern day Helen of Troy". Other than her beauty, we don't know much about her youth, other than the fact that Stephanus was rumored to be madly in love with his bride-to-be. However, before the wedding ceremony, Victor forced Stephanus to give up his bride. Later the same year, Victor himself took Oanda as his wife. She received the name "Augusta" after Victor became Imperator Doom. Despite Oanda's striking beauty, Victor quickly grew weary of his wife. After decades of marriage, Oanda produced no heir. Victor's political enemies accuse Victor of being asexual, for Oanda was the most beautiful woman ever known to men. Like many politicians at the time, Victor was exerting a sexual magnetism that was attractive to both man and woman, which added tremendous political charisma. This accusation of asexuality hurted Victor's popularity as a charismatic leader, as it was seen as lack of manhood. Victor vehemently denied and forbid this accusation, but Oanda's silence did not help the situation. Victor later annulled his marriage with Oanda to marry Susanna. Oanda married Visus and mothered twin sons.  
   Before I get into the actual love story of Doomstrange in 32 BC, I'd like to mention that the plot of this story came from Sheriff Stephen's dream. He once revealed part of the plot to God Emperor Doom. However he carefully did not mention the name of the Roman emperor in his dream. Though he tried to skip the plots of Stephanus' romantic intimacy with his emperor, it's quite apparent to Doom (or any listener) that Stephanus was madly in love with the emperor and longed his love in return. Doom was omnipotent, not omniscient. He doesn't know who the emperor is in Stephen's dream.
 The next day, as Stephen reports to God Emperor Doom, Doom asks Stephen if he noticed any change in the many realms of the Battleworld. Stephen summons the all seeing eye and glance over the world realm by realm. He reports what he sees in each realm, until he suddenly falls dead silent, for he now sees a realm in 32 B.C. Rome, where his counterpart Stephanus is kissing the Roman Emperor. Sheriff Stephen sees the gorgeous face of the emperor, from his charismatic aura, he immediately learn the Emperor is Doom.
Basically Doom created this AU in the reflections of Stephen's dream.
 Stephen drowned in happiness, which is quickly replaced by bitterness. He grew very sad that Stephanus and Victor can live happily together as lovers, while he is but Doom's right hand.
 (TBD)
