Black Envy (Analysis, LeviathanxNightmare)

Created on: 10/5/22

requested by: no one, this is me using an OC (OMIGOD! OCXCANON? CRIINNNGGEE) to try and motivate myself after a year of being dead. im supposed to be making a Christmas oneshot & killermare oneshot but im stressed and using analysis to relax before my AP class kills me with a large workload again

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

canonically? this ain't gonna fly

Nightmare is more likely to use Leviathan as a servant and nothing more

Leviathan themselves feels they are done with romance after the disaster that was them and a monster named Aluminum breaking their heart

but lets dive into the dynamics of a possible ship anyways because let's be honest, none of the major ships are likely to happen in canon anyways

the basis for the dynamic that im using btw is the one from my old fic, "Curse You" (NightmarexCross). if you haven't read it yet, i won't spoil anything except for the short conversation between Leviathan & Nightmare

Leviathan is like Fresh or Error, a neutral entity that simply goes in and out of the castle and is permitted to do so because 1. trying to permanently take them out isn't worth the hassle because 2. they hardly do much damage to his team anyways aside from being an annoying little shit and 3. their existence is useful despite their neutral stance

Error fights with Ink, which can preoccupy the Star Sanses for any potential plans Nightmare has

Fresh is a parasite, probably can't be killed but he's a minor inconvenience at worst since Nightmare is strong enough to ensure and threaten Fresh to not attempt turning any of his henchmen into hosts

Leviathan doesn't directly help either side, but their presence alone can weaken Dream and strengthen Nightmare because they're a demon of the 7 mortal sins, specially ENVY. like the two guardians, they have an aura that Nightmare can take advantage of

Nightmare comments to himself in the oneshot however, that Leviathan is a coward and a fool for being too scared of embracing their power. Leviathan on the other hand thinks Nightmare is the fool for being so power-hungry without a particular goal in mind after spreading negativity

if the two were to become more intimate somehow, it'd be genuinely difficult for them to be okay. Nightmare isn't TOO affected by their aura of ENVY since he feeds off of it as a feeling of negativity, but his team sure is and are prone to becoming envious of one another or even their relationship. it'd be hard for them to come to terms with accepting one another's views as well since unlike with Crossmare or Killermare, Leviathan doesn't serve Nightmare nor do they support his goals in any way

Leviathan would look down on his attempt to spread negativity and could potentially ask him philosophical questions that he's just not ready for ("what exactly do you want from all this power? what is it you're looking for in all of this negativity? what then, when you're the king of the Multiverse?")

Nightmare would look down on his passiveness and refusal to act out of a fear of repeating mistakes, possibly being reminded of his old self before biting the black apple ("why do you just let these things happen? why don't you do anything about it? why do you act so weak when i know for a fact you're not?")

a lot of issues are bound to come out of this, especially since they're both likely to directly challenge each other's world views, and while Leviathan isn't likely to do much because of, again, their passiveness, Nightmare is likely to get irritated with the back and forth

Black Envy is probably a ship you'd want to save for angst and slow burns when they actually have the time and support to work out the kinks in their relationship to sail, but the multiverse isn't exactly like that now is it?

now for the what if scenarios that they miraculously work out being super stubborn about their perspectives for one another, would they work? well, lets see

Nightmare is mostly logic and business orientated, typically committed to his work unless on the rare occasion relaxing with the team. while Leviathan won't be like Killer in using his contagious positivity to have excitable fluff, they are quite chill and is capable of speaking Nightmare's language of common sense and reasoning to get him to take breaks or sit down and have a bit of fun

and when i say fun, i mean vibing. because going to be honest (in my own opinion), Nightmare doesn't seem like the type to do things like want to go out to amusement parks or arcades. he seems more like a quiet, home-date kinda of guy to me who'd prefer library dates or just quietly sitting together, or even watching a movie.

ANYWAYS-

would the vise versa happen? because relationships need to go both ways

well Leviathan is more of the vibe type of person who kinda of hangs around and goes at their own pace. Leviathan is a being of water, after all. and water does it's own thing, it's fluid. so the way i'll take it for a vise versa situation would be their abuse of substance addiction, or as noted in the previously mentioned "Curse You" oneshot, alcohol

they're a drinker, yeah. not going to go into it here, but they do have a problem

just as Leviathan can use the fact that Nightmare is a logical person to logically talk him out of overworking, Nightmare in all his intelligence is just as capable of using the fact Leviathan is a spontaneous individual to get them out of the drinking mood

so yeah, it works

Overall: i'll admit that i find Black Envy to be a really interesting ship and not because one of them is my OC (no offense to anyone but Cross is my favorite sans), since i like complex relationships with a lot going underneath the surface on both sides. i also like slowburns O-o canonically this could never work like most things, and i genuinely don't know if it could work in a fic either.

like all ships, it depends on the circumstances, situation, and AU. but i must say, i like the idea a lot more than i originally thought since im usually afraid of mixing my OCs with canon

it would take a lot to make this ship sail, and i mean a LOT. you'd have to go full on slowburn to get this to sail. but once it does? wow, it's SMOOTH sailing, and not just because they're both on the more calm side

is chūya ever canonically acknowledged as particularly beautiful (even compared to other good-looking characters)? cos he is so pretty it should be a sin

i imagine 15 year old soukoku in a mission...

their target : mhpf, so what do you want from me, pretty boy?

chuya : we-

dazai : hey what about me?

target, confused : ???

dazai : you called him 'pretty', i am obviously far prettier than him!

target : ...

target, at chuya : what's your mummy friend's problem?

chuya : ...trust me, i've been wondering the very same since the day i met him

Went thrifting today and got two great dresses, but I'll probably have to wait for summer before I put a proper outfit together with them.

Also, look at what I wore today because I really liked it.

[we-are-inevitable]

i think the concept of gender envy can be really fun but only if you get freaky with it. feeling gender envy for a skinny white androgynous twink in a sweater is so OUT. feeling gender envy for a skinned knee or a tree growing around a sign hung on it years and years ago or a cracked mirror or a black sky lit by lightning is so IN
