obviously credits for the creation of Dreamtale go to @jokublog as well as the rest of the fanarts I've done

Do people not realize that Nim does not GAF about the twins…it’s important to me that you know in canon she purposefully set them up to fail and always knew Nightmare would die or at least be in horrible pain because she was using them as a lesson that humans are bad…guys…it’s so important to me that you know Nim never wanted to be a mother and refused to speak to them while she healed so they wouldn’t know what to do and how to properly protect everything. She made them children on purpose. They were temporary….and it’s implied that if she ever healed, she was going to leave them behind or kill them to dispose of them.

I’m all for Fanon stuff of course! But what I’m seeing is more people assuming she was a great mother who loved them in their canon and she was terribly sad when they were being hurt. Maybe in most fan stories….but Nim DID NOT GIVE A FUCK IN DREAMTALE CANON she didn’t even hate them- she just didn’t have a ounce of emotion towards them, which I argue is worse.

Dreamtale Nim ref sheet that I won’t even follow 100%

Anyway my version of Nim!! A Stag Tree God!!

Uses she/he pronouns, is a Bigender Intersex deity (no one is surprised at me making yet another genderqueer headcanon)

The lil pastel blobs at Nim’s feet are the apple twins!! I put them there for size comparison.

If you wanna know more just use the ask thingie, I can only manage to ramble if I’m prompted to :,3c (accompanied by related doodles because I can)

Dream & Nightmare by jokublog

[sole-production-ut]

And final third brother! Oh yeah! It's him! Chaoticverse Shattered Dream!☀️🌙

Some of you may have already guessed that this handsome man would reappear in my story. He was in the RESISTANCE project for a reason.

Like all Dreamtale characters, he too has undergone a redesign. I wanted to keep the old canon in him, but also bring something close in spirit to the Shattered Fates version🤔. He was a temporary branch like Dream, but unlike the former, which became a fusion of the two, this one wanted peace with his brother and was willing to ‘share his pain’ with him. Unfortunately, this only led to the birth of true horror. Imagine a fusion of the worst traits of Dream and Nightmare. You get him.

He has no honour, no moral codes and no truth😈. He is a selfish manipulator whose goal is to make Nightmare suffer, suffer for a lifetime. The corruption of the golden apple has caused him to now be able to perceive both emotional spectrums and manipulate the feelings of others. Of course he is weaker than Nightmare (remember that Nightmare's soul is 999 black apples, while Shattered Dream's is 1 gold and 1 black🧐), but he has the advantages of both: creation of any weapon, physical invulnerability, and the attacks of Nightmare and Dream separately are practically harmless to him. Funny thing is, the key event for this Dream's appearance was the death of a close friend. However, if one Dream accepted this loss and stayed on track, Shattered Dream exactly lost himself.

In addition to the reference, I reveal that it is the Three Brothers arc that is the story arc of Dream, Nightmare, and Shattered Dream.

That's all! You'll be seeing something even crazier soon! I promise!😉

Words cannot describe how much I despise the og dreamtale story, and I'll share why.

if we're speaking purely by the barebones plot, dreamtale can be, on a surface level, considered a well put together story on how there are different ways to feel negative and positive emotions and how feeling negativity towards some things is healthy, but letting it consume you leads to you yourself becoming what you previously hated the most. It also explores how being to positive and not letting yourself feel negative emotion is harmful toward your mental health and wellbeing.

This is where I think Dreamtale fundamentally fails.

Joku decided to write Nightmare (and dream but we'll get there) in a way that actually harms the story its trying to tell.

Passive is an innocent child, bullied for something he cannot control, this is because the people around him associate negative emotion and negativity = Bad, harmful. As the readers, we know this isn't the case, but eventually, passive is pushed over the edge and consumes one of the apples of negativity.

Nightmare is immediately corrupted, but instead of Nightmare being well.... nightmare, passive is apparently dead and nightmare is now a dead, vengeful hunter that had tried to slay Nim (Dream and Nightmares Mother) a soul was trapped in the tree?

This could be Joku trying to convey that sometimes negativity can consume a person so much it fundamentally changes them, but this is much less impactful. We have not grown close to this Nightmare, we just know that he's evil now, and he wants to kill everyone yet also have more negativity? The only motive that makes sense is killing his brother.

I believe that this could have been much more impactful if we cut the hunter out entirely and portray Nightmare as he really was when he transformed; A scared, hurt child.

Nightmare wasn't immediately this imposing, dark, and looming figure of uncertain fate, he was a child whose negative emotions consumed him, and being a young child, he lashed out.

And he would continue lashing out, for many years, many different villages. But as he aged, he also matured and realized that the murder of thousands of people would not help him achieve his main goal: Killing Dream. After this realization, he hid himself away in an abandoned castle, collecting his followers from across the multiverse and preparing for the fights with Dream soon to come.

Dream is a little more complicated to asses, as throughout the story, he is portrayed as an innocent baby who can never do anything wrong.

But Dream is an adult.... and he should be treated as such. we never see any of Dreams flaws and disadvantages explored, only the fact that he loves his brother.

I wish we could've seen Dream struggle with negative emotions and feels as thought he must bottle them up being the guardian of positivity.

I want to see him look back and hate the villagers that hurt his brother, and he has to come and confront the fact that he has hate and negativity in his soul and its okay to feel those emotions.

But this is all just my opinion, share your thoughts/how you think the story could have been handled better.
