Ink's psychology is so interesting. Let's talk about it.

Think back on one of your core memories. You're able to associate said memory with a feeling - good or bad, right? Perhaps you're able to recall a place, too. Now, imagine being Ink. Depending on his consumption of vials, he might only recall events when those same circumstances are recreated. How difficult would that be? How feasible is it to consume an exact amount, an exact combination, at an exact place and time? This is known as state-dependent memory, something Ink is incapable of experiencing.

Memory is most effectively recalled when context matches an encoding environment. An AU carries so much variability. Factors shift at the drop of a hat, and usually, it becomes impossible to recreate a moment. Ink feels something, but is he able to internalize it as a true experience? What he processes is a mechanical mimicry of enotion. It's so easy to avoid introspection when these things pass you by so quick. It's not worth dwelling on.

On that note: Identity Diffusion. It's something I see explored infrequently, but Ink's inner struggles are so rich with potential. Who is he, really? What was he meant to be, and will he ever know? The straight answer: no. Ink was never meant to be, and it's up to him to shape his own identity. His goals and values are always changing based on external factors. What does it look like inside his mind, when he's put at odds with his sense of self? What does he believe in, and does it align with how he felt yesterday? The extent of Ink's derealization is so underutilized. When he pauses mid-sentence, disassociates when all he comes up with is null. I'd like to see Ink's thoughts on his blank state, when he's off his vials and turns to a living instinct. I see a lot of interpretations where Ink avoids his "negative feeling" vials, because it's too difficult, or not worth the hassle, or he doesn't care. But what if he did allow himself to feel the guilt and remorse? The harrowing, sinking feeling that there is no "him." He's a projection, he has no real grasp on how he behaves. It's all an illusion in the end.

Closing thought, I wonder if Ink ever experiences a form of Pavlovian Memory; emotional responses linked to stimuli in the environment. Even if he can't perfectly recreate a memory, what of his subconscious? Does he have some deep-rooted color theory going on? When he looks at a clear blue sky, does his mind's programming attempt to piece together a notion or feeling, even if he isn't on his blue vial?

I think about him a lot. I'll try to write some more of these.

INTEREST CHECK: SWAPDREAM COIN We’re looking into creating a promotional merch bundle to help fund the production of Kissed & Scorched, our upcoming SwapDream Zine. One item we’ve considered is a commemorative coin, but since it’s more expensive to produce, we want to see how many people would be interested before moving forward. Would you be down to add a coin to your merch bundle? Let us know in the comments or by reacting to this post! Your feedback will help us determine if we can make this happen. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm for the project! (Concept art below by @syxadel )

Hello! As much as I love Swad/Swan, I was wondering if other ships are going to be allowed?

Hi! We love some good Swad/swan content. but you can submit anything as long as it has the Swapdreamtale characters in it. For example it can be Dreamcest, Nightcest, Swadmare and even a little bit of a rareship swanreaper. We also don't expect every submission to be pairings you can do anything with the boys! We look forward to what you have anon

How long is the moderator sign ups open for? The schedule on your carrd says it ends on the 24th, but immediately after it says the next event is “reach out to contributors” with no contributor sign up in between. So I’m a little confused about it

We’ve made some adjustments to the SwapDream Anthology timeline! Originally, moderation and contributor sign-ups were combined, but after further deliberation, we’ve decided to separate the two for a smoother process.

🗓️ Here’s the new schedule: 📌 Interest Check Closes: February 10th 📌 Mod Applications Open: February 10th 📌 Mod Applications Close: February 20th 📌 Contributor Sign-Ups Open: February 26th 📌 Contributor Sign-Ups Close: March 11th

This change will allow for better organization as we move forward. Thank you for your patience and support! The adjusted Google Calander link is here.
