"Nightmare, my beloved utopia. Why won't anyone see the beauty of the darkness? Light is but a trick. They don't know the truth is in the dark. What would happen if there was only Nightmare in the dream world?" "My dream, is to make Maginaryworld a world full of light. Even the strongest of people have dark emotions in their hearts. We must be stronger; Emptiness does not conquer dreams, dreams conquer the emptiness!"

Trying to get back into digital art so I drew this to show off Wizeman and Illumina's dynamic in my lore. While Wizeman may seem dark at first glance he secretly has nobility in his goals, on the flipside Illumina's goals may seem pure on the surface they are secretly sinister.

My take on Wizeman heavily hinges on the Japanese manual where there is no such mention of him wanting to take over the Waking World, as well as the story book (where the above text is from) It sure is mighty suspicious that Wizeman can so easily kill off nightmaren for the slightest failure yet the traitor NiGHTS is wanted alive? I mean yeah there is sunk cost fallacy but I feel there is likely more to that.

NiGHTS into dreams was based off Carl Jung's Theory of Personality. Wizeman being Ego and NiGHTS being The Shadow. NiGHTS representing the carefree and kind aspects that Wizeman desperately tries to hide. (Perhaps in fear of being seen as weak by his subjects?)

As for Illumina, well aware I am twisting the intended meaning for Illumia's lines. Although, if you give it a bit more thought it makes some sense. (That and like, she's barely in the game. She doesn't give me much to go off of) The plot of Sonic Shuffle kicks off because Illumina refuses to accept the darkness in her heart so she physically removes it from herself, Sonic and friends try to get her to embrace it but right after they fuse we get the slap of the face of her pretty much saying "Darkness is a weakness you must overcome!", it feels like she learned NOTHING! With a personality like that is makes sense Wizeman ended up feeling unappreciated. Illumina likely sees the nightmaren as a blight on Maginaryworld, not a natural and necessary part of Nightopia's ecosystem.

Sorry I haven't been too active on this blog, a lot of life stuff has been happening. Hopefully I can return soon

[dreamforcedeities]

its official: tumblr is selling our data to Midjourney

we'd been hearing rumors about this for a bit but now its open and out there. some details from this article

it goes without saying, but if @staff goes through with this its going to be an utter shitshow and im all but certain the website will not survive it.

Heads up, make sure to flick this fun little switch under your blog settings to prevent your stuff to be used by Tumblr's new AI stuff

"And of course the edgy wannabee returns before I do, why wouldn't he?"

[dreamforcedeities]

Part of me is torn between responding to new asks or redoing old ones to match my newer headcanons.

[dreamforcedeities]

I'd really love to actually have an RP thread involving Wizeman's wish granting powers. Unlike Ariem (who I am still unsure if I want to add to the blog) he's not on a wish cooldown for 1000 years. Plus he doesn't care how corrupt your wish is, he's willing to grant whatever as long as you pay your fee.

reblogging since I seem to have posted it at a weird time and didn't get seen

I'm getting back into the mood for RP so like this post for a starter! If you have a muse in mind feel free to DM me so we can plot, if not then I'll just pick one at random.

That thought when instead of working on the blog you instead install a spore inspired game and hit your oc with a car, fun game, do recommend

[dreamforcedeities]

I imagine when nightmaren are on duty they don't always use their true form, sometimes using their shapeshifting to take on a more "normal" look to not be so obvious to their victims. This here is my design for when Reala is going undercover for mobians, going under the alias of "Riara the Donkey". I need to get around drawing their human disguise. I do plan on using this form for roleplays but I'm not sure if I'll draw RP icons for them.

[dreamforcedeities]

So someone brought these to my attention and I figured I'd share. Found the official reasons why NiGHTS and Reala were in the game Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed so figured I'd share. Provided the original text as well as some google translation attempts. Some interesting stuff here. Not sure why NiGHTS is being called the founder of Nightmare, I'm ASSUMING that's some google translation scuff. NiGHTS seemed like they joined for fun and Reala followed to keep an eye on them. Reinforcement on the Japanese JoD lore of the persona masks being a gift for extreme loyalty, not a mind control device like the fandom keeps thinking it is. Confirmation on the ranking of Goodles! This is HUGE! As far as it was known their level was a mystery until now! Granted plenty of people already kinda theorized them as 3rd levels but it's nice to have a word of god on the matter.

[dreamforcedeities]

Ask me questions about my muse.  Is there something you are curious about?  Ask away!  I’m open to give as much insight as I can! 

[dreamforcedeities]

Ask my muse the most insane “Would you rather?” questions you can come up with. Get creative.

[dreamforcedeities]

So I was looking over the Japanese JoD manual again and I learned something.

So I already knew Wizeman was using his soul to make nightmaren since it's stated in both NiD and JoD's manuals but I wasn't aware of how the Japanese JoD manual went a bit further on it, stating how a Nightmaren's level is at least partially dependent on how much of Wizeman's soul he uses to make them. Also it seems he/it Wizeman is canon, it's here, the english manual and the storybook. interesting. At least, that's what I got from google translate, if anyone wants to take a proper stab at translating the manual you can find it here. I've heard the Japanese JoD manual has a lot more interesting lore such as the origin of the Persona Masks as well as the canon reason NiGHTS betrays Wizeman so it'd be nice to have a proper fan translation to point to instead of just relying on google translate (we don't want another "Wizeman is a visitor" after all!)

[dreamforcedeities]

Haven't heard anything in regards to this one way or another, ya or nay on the sheep joining the blog?

Now that Dream Team has been out for a while I have a question, would people actually want me to add Ariem on the blog? I do feel like I have a decent enough grasp on her if there is demand but she's a tad different than Illumina, NiGHTS, Reala or Wizeman in how she'd interact with people so I'd only really add her if there is demand. Let me know in the replies to this post or my askbox.
