[dreaminlittlenightmares]

Hey have you seen gamerjoob’s little nightmare character concept series if you have what are your opinions of the characters in The Orphan Arc?

I might have to come back to this one because...

[dreaminlittlenightmares]

TSoN Kids General Headcanons

Goo Kid:

It's not slime, it's MUCUS!

Takes the risk and talks to the Prisoners to learn more

Fascinated and deathly afraid of the the Chain Link/Tall Woman

Despite being captured, they're probably fine...probably

the Sewer Kids:

They're actually as bad or worse that the Bullies

Like to one-up each other when it comes to comparing treasures found

They're all good at teamwork, especially when there's a common enemy

...but will sell their teammates' soul for a corn chip

Like to have a good time

[dreaminlittlenightmares]

Interesting...a tie~

[dreaminlittlenightmares]

What does the adults think of their deaths on the games? (This includes the Janitor as well)

That's a new one...and I'm only listing the characters that could/did die in the games

The Maw

the Janitor: Hates it. He was just doing his job! the Lady: Has mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it's humiliating to die at the hands of a child. On the other hand, relieved she no longer is the Lady of the Maw the Granny: Same thing as the Lady, but somewhat proud of the Runaway Kid

Pale City

the Hunter: So angry about it. He got shot by his own gun and by THOSE TWO BRATS!? the Doctor: So sad because he probably would have just escorted Mono and Six out the hospital safely the Thin Man: A whole range of depressed, disappointed, futile, and anger. He really wanted to stop Mono from eventually becoming him, but failed again like he always did

[dreaminlittlenightmares]

Done and done in Ages, Part 1 and Ages, Part 2~

Can you make a story where the Raincoat girl meets an injured Nome and tries to befriend it, take care of it and gain it's trust?

I'll see what I can do. Enjoy!

Title: Waffle Cone Word Count: 1809 Characters: the Raincoat Girl, the Butler, the Nomes

The master bedroom was a sort of time capsule in the Nest, and it was in ruins. Clothes scattered everywhere, from the ceiling fan to the vanity desk. Lamps bared naked without their shades. Curtains clung to their rods with dear life. Dresser drawers somehow laid on the floor, and mysterious tiny hand prints decorated the walls.

And then, there was the bed. It was suppose to be neatly made, without a crease or ripple on the quilt.; even the pillows were perfectly set. Now, everything looked like a tornado ripped through it. It was amazing that the framing was intact.

Raine turned to face the Butler. "It wasn't me!"

The Butler did little to hid his anger. "This room is off limits," he growled, "It belonged to the Young Mistress's parents, before they disappeared. It was in pristine condition last I checked."

"But it wasn't me!"

The Butler's eyes flashed. A couple of objects floated in response, but quickly clattered back onto the ground. The Butler had steadied his mind to prevent his telekinesis from acting up. "You came into this room, once."

"Yeah, by accident," Raine pouted.

"You were in this room once…"

"I-" Raine pursed her lips. It was true. She did enter the master bedroom once, but all she did was jump on the bed. She felt bad for messing it up and took the time to straighten out the quilt before leaving. It was a good thing she did, but the rest of the mess wasn't her.

"You will clean everything," the Butler ordered, "And put everything back in order."

"But-"

"No buts! You made this mess, so you'll un-make it." The Butler turned around so quickly, his coattails slapped Raine across her freckled face. "I expect everything back in its place before I return."

"But!" Raine wanted to object, but the Butler was always the strict one at the Nest. She swallowed her outburst in frustration. "Fine…" The Butler slammed the door on his way out, leaving Raine to the cleaning. She scanned the room from left to right, assessing the damage. It was going to be a ton of work for one girl. But, even if this wasn't her fault, she was always willing to help wherever she could.

Raine started with collecting and folding the clothes first. Most, if not, all of it look very expensive but very beautiful. She was careful to fold the shirts, skirts, and socks as neatly as she could, trying her best to mimic the Butler's work. Every once in a while, she stopped at gawked some of the silks with awe. Raine couldn't help her imagination from wearing some of the classy blouses, but wouldn't happen until she was much older.

Next, Raine went to make up the bed. She already made up her own, but this bed was about five times bigger. Smoothing out the wrinkles from the sheets alone took her so much time, Raine was afraid the Butler would come back before it was done. As she tried to pull the quilt back into place, she heard a strange nearby sound.

"Hello?" Raine looked, but saw nothing. After first, she thought the sound was the bedframe. In order to put the quilt back, Raine had to literally walk on top of the mattress in order to do that; it was counterproductive from her earlier task of patting out the wrinkles, but she was a small girl. Raine shrugged and continued with her work, but the strange noise squealed again.

Raine stopped. "Hello?" The strange sound was familiar, but she couldn't place it. There was another squeal and it came from one of the thrown out drawers. Rained hopped off the bed and pushed the drawer over. "Oh!"

Underneath it was an injured Nome. The Nome, though grateful to be free from the drawer, scrambled away a step or two before it collapsed back onto the floor. Both of its legs were bent in awkward angles and were covered in bruises. Still, it was determined to escape and crawled as hard as it could to get away.

"Wait!" Raine hurried over to stop the Nome. "You're hurt." She knelt down next to it, but the finicky thing grumbled and tried to crawl in another direction. "I said wait!"

Nomes were explicitly banned from the Nest. The Butler firmly believed the strange creatures were bad omens and set a variety of traps to eliminate them. Raine knew if he saw this one, he'd kill it without a second thought.

Raine scooped up the poor thing, making in wriggle in her arms. "Shh!" She tried to calm down the Nome. "You're hurt and-" She turned her head to the door. A cold shiver crawled down her spine. The Butler was coming back. Raine hurried to a drawer, plopped the Nome inside, and covered it among the clothes.

The Nome wasn't happy with its treatment and flailed to get out. Raine pushed it back down. "The Butler's coming. Stay here and be quiet." She pushed the drawer shut and went back to making up the bed, to show that she was still organizing the room.

Suddenly, the door to the master bedroom swung open and the Butler floated in. He looked around and wasn't pleased with the progress. "You barely did anything," he grumbled.

"I put the clothes away!" Raine shouted by accident, "And…and, I made up the bed." She pointed to how neatly the pillows and quilt were set. "I don't know what happened to the lamp shades, and the curtains are too high up."

"And the drawers?" the Butler asked, as he floated around inspecting the room.

"I just got to them. They're heavy."

"And the handprints?"

Raine turned her attention to the black smudges on the wall. "I don't have soap?" she said, unsure if that was a good counterargument.

The Butler floated over to the handprints and lowered himself to get a better look. Raine felt the air get thicker, which was a sign that the Butler's telekinesis was about to work. "I owe you an apology…"

"Huh?"

"Come over here, girl." Raine did as she was bid. "Put you hand on the handprint."

At first, she didn't understand. But, when she raised her hand over the handprint, it made sense.

"Your hand is too big, see?" the Butler scoffed, "And the Young Mistress never sets foot in here. That means those disgusting creatures are here." He clenched his teeth so tightly, they might as well have broke.

"Nomes aren't that bad," Raine muttered.

"They're horrid pets that ruin everything they touch. These wretched things must have ruined the lord and lady's room. I keep telling Craftsman to build stronger traps, but-" A sharp squeal cut off the Butler's complaints. The Butler looked around to find the source of the noise, but Raine quickly wrapped her arms around her torso and doubled over.

"Ah," she laughed nervously, "Putting everything back made me hungry."

"So it would seem. You may go now, child. I'll clean up the rest." The Butler's sounded exasperated, which made Raine nervous.

"Oh, I can clean up the rest!" she insisted, "Don't worry about me."

"But you said the curtains are too high up and the drawers are heavy."

"I'll…manage."

The Butler bent down to Raine's level. "And the handprints?"

Raine glanced at the prints on the walls, then to her own hands. "Um, soap please?" She held out her hands towards the Butler, like she was waiting for the items to appear out of thin air.

The Butler straightened back up with a grumpy hmph! He floated out the room again, leaving Raine to collect the things she requested. Raine rushed back to the drawer with the injured Nome and whispered quickly. "Where did you come from?"

The Nome sat up and pointed to the bed. Raine picked up the Nome and carried over to the edge of the bed. The Nome lifted the sheet and motioned Raine to go under the bed. She did and saw a crack in the wall that was wide enough for her and the Nome to pass through. Raine carried the Nome to the crack. The Nome put two fingers in its mouth and whistled. A few seconds later, a couple of squealing sounds sung out and two pairs of hands reached out from the crack.

Raine lurched back, at first, but then realized these were the injured Nome's friends. "Take them! Quick!" She passed the Nome to the others and crawled back out from under the bed.

"What were you doing under there!?"

Raine jumped when she saw the Butler had come back with a bucket and rags hovering around him. "Uh…I went to see if the lampshades were under there," she lied.

The Butler saw through it and focused his telekinesis on the bedframe. With a simple nudge, the bed moved and revealed the crack in the wall. "Aha! So that's where they're coming from. Well done, girl. I'll handle things from here."

"But…"

"Go. I got this."

Raine left reluctantly. She wasn't like her friends from the Maw and Pale City. She didn't have a cool superpower to stop the Butler. She could only prayer that the Nomes got away far and fast enough to avoid being found.

Later that night, Raine cried in her bed. She liked the Nomes. They helped her the first time she came to the Nest, and had always been kind to the ones she saw when she visited her friends. It wasn't fair that the hateful Butler saw them as vermin that needed to be eradicated. And what was worse was that she felt like she betrayed them by revealing the crack under the master bed. Rained cried and cried until she heard a series of sharp squeals. Raine pulled her runny face from her knees to see a couple of Nomes and the injured one in her room.

The injured Nome hobbled forward with help from its friends. Raine scurried out from the sheets to greet them. "You're okay!" she whispered excitedly. "I was so worried that the Butler caught you."

The injured Nome flung itself into Raine's arms for a hug. The other Nomes gathered around Raine to hug her, too. When they let go, the injured Nome reached under its cone shaped hat and pulled out a small red and yellow, polka dotted handkerchief. It offered it to Raine.

"For me?" Raine took the cloth and gave it a quick glance over. It was a simple token of gratitude, but she remembered that getting a gift from a Nome meant it trusted you. "Thank you!" She tied the handkerchief around her wrist and showed it off to them. The Nomes jumped up and down with approval. The night ended with raincoat girl and her the new friends celebrating in glee.

[dreaminlittlenightmares]

what are their relationships with the Nomes?

Already done-ish with Everyone's Opinions on the Nomes!

[dreaminlittlenightmares]

What is this room for at the Nest?

This was the scariest ask I had to answer, mainly because I had to click on a blurred image...

Also, if there's an actual explanation to this room, good to know! I'll just make up stuff anyways~

What is THAT Room?

Before the Raincoat Girl officially started living at the Nest, she poked and explored everywhere

Most of the rooms were "fairly normal"...except THIS room

At first, the Raincoat Girl thought it was a failed, indoor hatchery, with the eggshells, dead pigeon, and nest

But, there's a heavily bolted door and a random tv?

With nothing to do here, she left and explored the rest of the mansion

When she was formally "adopted" by the Nest, the Raincoat Girl completely forgot about the strange room until she happened to find it again

Nothing changed since last time, except for the tv to hummed louder than usual

The Raincoat Girl waited for a bit, and out crawled the Thin Man!

He crashed into the yolk stained floor, since he was not used to television sets hanging precariously from a pipe

The Raincoat Girl and the Thin Man stared at each other in awkward silence for a while The Thin Man: ...hi The Raincoat Girl: Hi... The Thin Man: The Raincoat Girl: -- The Raincoat Girl: I don't know what this room's for, actually... The Thin Man: Neither do I! I just saw a weird room from one of my screens and... The Thin Man: The Raincoat Girl: -- The Thin Man: Yeah, I'm gonna go back now. Bye, Raine! The Raincoat Girl: Bye, Mr. Thin Man!

The Thin Man climbed back into the tv, and the Raincoat Girl ventured back to the mansion

Later, the Raincoat Girl remembered to ask about the room, only to be met with three different answers the Butler: WE STILL HAVE THAT ROOM!? the Craftsman: YOU ACTUALLY CAUGHT HIM!? the Pretender: THERE'S A TOY DUCK!?

[dreaminlittlenightmares]

[dreaminlittlenightmares]

What would be the relationship between the refugee boy and the north wind? idk if someone ask for this

Hmm, kinda sorta a long time ago. Someone asked about the Refugee Boy, the North Wind, and the Ferryman, so I guess that counts...

[dreaminlittlenightmares]

Feeling evil and in the mood for some post-valentines agnst,, maybe something with Hunter and valentines? Whatever comes to mind I love your stuff :3

I might have to come back to this one, Anon. My personal headcanon for the Hunter on Valentine's Day was hooking up with a male partner for a one night stand. Even though I own this blog, I still abide to my own rules of "there's no NSFW content here, not even for the adult characters", and this one would be getting into that.

If I think of something else, I'll write out it. Until then, I can't do this one, sorry ;o;

[dreaminlittlenightmares]

What relationship do/would have Runaway kid and Boy in Green have with each other?

(I'm asking because in 2017 the headcanon was that Runaway Kid was an father figure for boy in green and I was wondering what's your view of their relationship.)

That headcanon must be from someone else. I didn't read the Little Nightmares 1 comics until 2022

The Runaway Kid and the Green Boy

The Runaway Kid is a cynic, so that makes it hard for him to make friends

The Boy in Green is a welcoming person, so he makes friends easily

So, you'd think these polar opposites would have a hard time relating to each other

...and for the most part, you're right. Except for one thing

These two LOVE stories!

Whenever they feel daring, the boys will sneak out to the library and comb through the forgotten books

They're spends a good two hours before running back to the Hold to discuss what they read

One time, the Janitor caught and only gave them a slap on the wrist because books aren't really a sought after thing for the rest of the Maw orphans

Knowing that, the Runaway Kid and the Green Boy head out the library often

It's a cute friendship among the bookworms~

[dreaminlittlenightmares]

What do Runaway Kid and Refugee boy think of each other?

(The same anon who asked about Six and Refugee boy's relationship.)

Why the the Refugee Boy popular all of sudden!?

The Runaway Kid and the Refugee Boy

The Runaway Kid has...complicated feelings for the other Maw orphans

On one hand, he doesn't like the majority of them because they continue to make fun of his friendship with the Nomes

On the other hand, they're far more tolerable than Six

Meanwhile, the Refugee Boy is kind of intimidated by the Runaway Kid

The speedy blue kid has full conversations with the Nomes...somehow??

And then ACTUALLY talks to Six, the scariest person on the Maw!?

The Refugee Boy is awed by the Runaway Kid's conversational skills, and wishes he had even an inkling on that power

The Refugee Boy tried having a chat with the Runaway Kid a couple of times, but blushed and chickened out

The Runaway Kid didn't get it, but okay...

So, they're acquaintances at best

May exchange a few words, but that's about it

[dreaminlittlenightmares]

Weird question...if all the characters [ln, ln 2, ln 3-for now, ln comics and tson] are in a karaoke night, what song would they sing?

I haven't done a music headcanon in forever. Luckily for me, someone asked about Karaoke Night Songs a long time ago~ But, for the LN3, TSON, and Comic characters...

[dreaminlittlenightmares]

What relationship do/would Six & Refugee boy have? How do they interect? What they think of each other?

I'm starting to think that the Refugee Boy is very popular for some reason...

Six and the Refugee Boy

Six being Six doesn't care for any of the other Maw orphans, which includes the Refugee Boy

Even after hearing his harrowing tale about surviving and encounter with the North Wind, she merely shrugged her shoulders and left

As for the Refugee Boy, he's kinda afraid of her...

She barely shows emotion, and when she does, it's usually some form of aggression

He's entirely okay with not being friends with Six, though does care if she's actually okay

One time, he shared some snacks he stole from the kitchens with her, and that was probably the only time he saw Six smile

...it was disturbing to watch her rip and tear the jerky with her teeth, but she was happy

After the snacks where over, Six thanked the Refugee Boy with utmost indifference and walked away

The Runaway Kid dashed over to the Refugee Boy and grabbed him by the shoulders the Runaway Kid: DUDE! NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!! the Refugee Boy: Why? the Runaway Kid: Six.will.EAT.YOU!

Whether the Runaway Kid was kidding or not, his tone was serious enough

So, the Refugee Boy tries not to engage with Six, if he can help it
