this is a comic about living with hyperfixations and how they tie into those happy feelings that are just gone after they end, that is until the cycle starts again, however far away in the future that might be, like something u can borrow but you can never really make it stay

I settled on having it look like a relationship bc the similarities kinda haunt me, this has been on my mind a lot since I've had no fixations for 6 months and I'm now trying to adjust to living without, so I wanted to put it in art form :')

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

Some new dreamtale facts i learned this week that makes me want to explode :D

credit to the beloved @aguinhac for telling me this (your the coolest)

The corruption SOMETIMES believes it's the original nightmare, its host whose identity, personality, and some of his memories it stole.

That explains why it crashed out in front of ccino when it saw him getting bullied. The corruption began relieving passive’s memories of abuse and in a fit of rage killed all the assailants. When thanked by Ccino, the corruption tells him it didn’t kill the bullies for ccino’s sake, it did it for itself because it believed itself to be the original nightmare in that particular moment. It knows that it isn't the original nightmare and that the real nightmare died the day of the apple incident, but due to it basically building everything off of the original nightmare (it’s personality, intelligence, and memories surrounding dream) it sometimes genuinely believes itself to be that nightmare. 

Also, the corruption doesn’t hate dream

…

I’m not joking.

quoting Joku: Nightmare canon no odia a Dream, lo quiere matar por la manzana, no por odio, lo del odio se lo saco en fandom de la manga. Solo finge odiarlo por lo que paso (frente a Dream) para crearle traumas a Dream.

*translation:

Nightmare canon does not hate Dream, he wants to kill him for the apple, not out of hatred, the hate thing was taken out of his sleeve in fandom. He only pretends to hate him for what happened (in front of Dream) to create trauma for Dream.

*end of translation

So yeah, apparently that's a fanon concept made popular by fans, and in reality the corruption doesn’t hate dream but pretends to do so in order to hurt dream emotionally as dream for a period of time believed his brother to still be alive and just corrupted. Dream (due to the golden apple he had no choice but to absorb as his soul) is incapable of feeling hatred- whether it be from others or being able to feel it himself ( i don’t like that for reasons but anyways). That's why he doesn’t know the corruption is faking it. 

This doesn’t mean that the corruption likes dream- It just wants the apple and hating dream isn’t nessacary to get it. Its No.1 goal is making sure everyone dies to negativity via destruction of the last golden apple and hating dream doesn’t really add to that. Also, considering that passives influence despite being dead is super strong, I wouldn’t be surprised why the corruption doesn’t hate dream but is more neutral than anything towards him (but those are just my thoughts).

Passive must’ve been a literal sweetheart because that's HIS personality the corruption is echoing- specifically the parts that are merciful or kind. Even if all the benevolent gestures that the corruption has done were by accident, passive is the reason for it. Like dude, without passive being the base for the corruption’s personality, Ccino and the corruption’s “relationship” (as toxic as it is in canon) would not have happened as nicely(?) as it did.

Imagine the corruption taking after someone like NegativeTale Asgore (who canonically has ZERO redeeming qualities) or something new chara. Depending on the person, the corruption could be less lawful evil like it is in canon and 100% chaotic evil. There goes the calculating and smart corruption we know, what we now have is BURN EVERYTHING TO THE GROUND SCREW PLANNING KILL EVERYTHING EVEN IF IT LESSENS NEGATIVITY DIE DIE DIE!!!!!! corruption. 

Heck, I’m starting to headcanon that's why all the shadow papyri the corruption creates are so friendly/silly. The corruption is supposed to be the embodiment of all negativity within the multiverse, but has sidekicks that are just goofy. Maybe passive has a stronger effect on magic thats not directly tied to the corruptions main body. 

The shadow puppets are capable of having their own personalities and thoughts, but are described to be dumb and weak unlike the person who created them (y’know, the corruption who’s EVIL, unlike the shadow papyri). It’s been stated that in canon, there is the possibility of passive being brought back if dream were to touch the corruptions black apple soul, so nightmare is in there somewhere. After all, in dreamtale “death”, doesn't always mean someone's permanently gone *cough nim cough cough*. 

I don’t know, maybe that’s just the real nightmare doing good, proving everyone who told him he was evil wrong, even after death.

 Oh & btw there's a fourth dreamtale ending where nightmare gets brought back to life lol (it's kind of not well thought out imo though)
