Death’s “biggest fan”

Reaper belongs to Renrink

Dust belongs to ask-dusttale

Transcript:

Dust: Can I die now?

Reaper: Excuse me?

Dust: Can I die now?

Reaper “Can you DIE now”?

Dust: Yeah

Reaper: Um… no, not yet… You don’t die for a while, actually

Dust: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Hi, this is a reminder Something New Killer and Dreamtale Killer are NOT the same 🤓☝️

Dreamtale Killer was described by Joku like a character that is scared of feeling again because he doesn't wanna deal with the guilt of all what he did. He is scared of Nightmare and takes him seriously.

Besides that, we don't know more of him because DT creator didn't shared any other details.

Something New Killer wants to feel again and, in general, offers a broader profile of Killer, his habits, his history and motivations.

Emotional Walls Your Character Has Built (And What Might Finally Break Them)

(How your character defends their soft core and what could shatter it) Because protection becomes prison real fast.

✶ Sarcasm as armor. (Break it with someone who laughs gently, not mockingly.) ✶ Hyper-independence. (Break it with someone who shows up even when they’re told not to.) ✶ Stoicism. (Break it with a safe space to fall apart.) ✶ Flirting to avoid intimacy. (Break it with real vulnerability they didn’t see coming.) ✶ Ghosting everyone. (Break it with someone who won’t take silence as an answer.) ✶ Lying for convenience. (Break it with someone who sees through them but stays anyway.) ✶ Avoiding touch. (Break it with accidental, gentle contact that feels like home.) ✶ Oversharing meaningless things to hide real depth. (Break it with someone who asks the second question.) ✶ Overworking. (Break it with forced stillness and the terrifying sound of their own thoughts.) ✶ Pretending not to care. (Break it with a loss they can’t fake their way through.) ✶ Avoiding mirrors. (Break it with a quiet compliment that hits too hard.) ✶ Turning every conversation into a joke. (Break it with someone who doesn’t laugh.) ✶ Being everyone’s helper. (Break it when someone asks what they need, and waits for an answer.) ✶ Constantly saying “I’m fine.” (Break it when they finally scream that they’re not.) ✶ Running. Always running. (Break it with someone who doesn’t chase, but doesn’t leave, either.) ✶ Intellectualizing every feeling. (Break it with raw, messy emotion they can’t logic away.) ✶ Trying to be the strong one. (Break it when someone sees the weight they’re carrying, and offers to help.) ✶ Hiding behind success. (Break it when they succeed and still feel empty.) ✶ Avoiding conflict at all costs. (Break it when silence causes more pain than the truth.) ✶ Focusing on everyone else’s healing but their own. (Break it when they hit emotional burnout.)

This reminds me of 4 different fics

Reborn as a dust sans [Ashe] by DeadEnDead

(the title is literal, Its been so long since ive read it anyways)

-

Running up that hill / Army Dreamers by JayBird421

(Reader dies and is reborn as sans [in RUTH, AD is paps] from handplates and its somehow so crack yet had made me cry)

-

Merging Timelines by Werecat1234

(Where Killer, Dust, and Horror, are shoved into a sanses body. Not multiverse but my favorite fic of all time.)

-

And the final one Idk the name but it was a choose-your-own-adventure fic where it was you after true pacifist, it was like x reader or smth like that… I just really was impressed by the choose ur own adventure and hidden secrets things..

utmv au/fanfic idea

daydreaming about a fanfic where we (the readers) get yoinked into the bodies of one of the sanses (my first thoughts were fresh or ink or blue but could be whatever you want) kris dreemurr style and now we can experience the multiverse firsthand via controlling them :)

it'd be like an interactive story where the readers get to make a decision at the end of every chapter

(feel free to use/expand on this idea however you'd like!)

Ways I Show a Character is Emotionally Burned Out (Before They Even Realize It Themselves)

I love writing characters who think they’re fine but are actually walking emotional house fires with bad coping mechanisms.

They stop doing the things they used to love and don’t even notice. Their guitar gathers dust. Their favorite podcast becomes background noise. Their hobbies feel like homework now.

They pick the path of least resistance every time, even when it hurts them. No, they don’t want to go to that thing. No, they don’t want to talk to that person. But whatever’s easier. That’s the motto now.

They’re tired but can’t sleep. Or they sleep but wake up more tired. Classic burnout move: lying in bed with their brain racing like a toddler on espresso.

They give other people emotional advice they refuse to take themselves. “You have to set boundaries!” they say—while ignoring 8 texts from someone they should’ve cut off three emotional breakdowns ago.

They cry at something stupidly small. Like spilling soup. Or a dog in a commercial. Or losing their pen. The soup is never just soup.

They say “I’m just tired” like it’s a personality trait now. And not like… emotionally drained to the bone but afraid to admit it out loud.

They ghost people they love, not out of malice, but because even replying feels like too much. Social battery? Absolutely obliterated. Texting back feels like filing taxes.

They stop reacting to big things. Catastrophes get a blank stare. Disasters feel like “just another Tuesday.” The well of feeling is running dry.

They avoid being alone with their own thoughts. Constant noise. TV always on. Music blasting. Because silence = reckoning, and reckoning is terrifying.

They start hoping something will force them to stop. An accident. A missed deadline. Someone else finally telling them, “You need a break.” Because asking for help? Unthinkable.
