WOOOOOOOO

YEAH

HORROR DREAMTALE TIME

I actually have solid lore now. like. i have a reason for nightmare’s antlers other than “it looks cool”. I have an idea on how it could actually end. This is incredible

Only Ink is open for asks rn! I’ll hold a vote on who to open asks for next in a few days. In the meantime, ask away!

Also, there’s a (kind of) short summary of the story so far below the cut. A few minor things have been changed, so I recommend giving it a read even if you were here for the prologue!

Summary:

Dream and Nightmare started off as any normal Dreamtale AU— Dream adored by the villagers and working every day to the brink of exhaustion and Nightmare bullied, hated, and feared.

After one particularly harrowing day and one too many times of finding his brother beaten and bruised by the villagers, Dream decided he’d had enough. Staring up at the tree they called their mother, he shouted, begged, pleaded; why didn’t she do anything? Why did Nym let them suffer while she simply stood there, baring immaculate gold and violet fruits? The young skeleton tore down one of the Positivity apples in frustration. Were they doing something wrong? Were they not good enough?

…

He could make himself better.

-

“Dream?” Nightmare barely had time to call out to his brother before the golden apple reached his mouth. He received no response but his brother’s shriek as the fiery wings burst from his back. Despite the mountains of pain the guardian had to have been in, his gaze fixed greedily on the clusters of apples overhead.

Nightmare’s gaze hardened. He couldn’t let Dream do this.

-

The brothers both had one apple each, fighting until they collapsed. When they woke, they agreed that neither of them would have another apple again. They would never fight like that. They would stick together.

The tree, however, was never the same. A blight took hold of the land.

-

Once the two turned fourteen, a bunch of weird creatures called anons randomly showed up and aggressively befriended them using soup, macarons, and other such implements. While the twins’ magic had grown unstable from the influx of power gained from the apples, they remained relatively sane and had a close bond, although both were worried about the declining health of the tree.

-

Long story short, Ink showed up, and thought it would be a great idea to bring them to Ccino’s cafe, where non-horror dream was waiting for him. Upon meeting non-horror Dream, Firefly (horror Dream) had the idea to drain some of his magic to fix the tree he could finally fix his mistake. He and Frostbite (horror NM) attacked the guardian, draining a large portion of his magic. With this magic, Firefly was able to create portals, traveling around the multiverse and eventually stealing souls. One day, the two disappeared back into their AU, where they fed the magic and souls to the tree. After that? You’ll have to find out… :3

Hi, I have three Dream's for you.

First, I offer my favorite Dream, Firefly, or Horror Dream, by neverniko101.

He is very mischievous, stealing items (mainly food) from anyone who enters the forest around the tree of feelings. He has little bits of fire he uses to lure people into the forest to do this. However, he's not malevolent, and doesn't aim to harm. Here's his picture from his reference sheet.

Next, I have Dream from thebad-lydrawn-sanses

He's simple, but he brings me joy. He was dealing with (corrupted) Nightmare's shit before (passive) Nightmare ate the apples. I'm pretty sure that instead of absorbing the positive apple he ate it as well. He also doesn't seem as blind to the difference before and after the apple difference than most Dreams I see.

Finally, I have Idol Dream by tuxibirdie

I don't know much about his personality, but he's not the Guardian of Positivity. He's in an Idol group with Blue and Ink.

Have fun and good luck with the tournament!

thank you!! <3

hindy backstory part 1

“Hey nightmare!”a 5’4 tall skeleton comes running towards nightmare “nighty! Nighty! , i found some food!” he hands a 4’3 skeleton wearing all purple and wearing a crown “sunlight were you’re clothes? And crown- you’re wearing ragged clothes!”nightmare pouted wanting to know who took his clothes and crown. The brother responded “i got muddy and there washing currently!” his lie succeeded in hiding the truth . “here! Have some food moonlight!” sunlight had forced the bread in moons mouth.

Moonlight ate the bread and looked and sunlight “you eat some food for yourself as well!”sunlight responded “i’ll be fine! , and i’ll get myself some food” he smiled, hiding the hard truth that lies ahead.

A phew hours pass and they both begin to sit infront of the chopped down tree of feelings , “sun , why do people hate us?” sunlight responded ,”they dont its just that something happend and they are putting the fault on us” moon then responded “WHY DO WE GET THE FAULT OF SOMEONE ELSE'S MISTAKE?!”. Sunlight responded “its the real world nightmare” he pats moon on the head and sits next to him falling asleep.

The bust of a middle aged man made out of butter was sitting on my bathroom counter. It turned and began to scream at me, but the scream was utterly silent. Everything was so silent. I was so frightened of the butter bust.

Video game I saw in a dream. It was in this low poly style like an older video game. You play as this character I think was meant to be a lamb, or maybe a weird mix of a lamb a mouse and a rabbit, (while not really looking like any of those things) and you’re running away from a wolf. Your objective is to last as long as possible before the wolf catches and eats you.

The house you’re running in is endless and bizarrely put together like most building interiors in dreams are (like the infinite toilet dream dimension on Reddit lol) the layout of the house is pretty detailed, you can stop and hide in places like closets or bins while the wolf looks for you, you can go up and down stairs and into rooms etc.

You never actually know where the wolf is or how close it is to you until it appears in your line of sight, it makes no noise and the game gives you no way of knowing where it is, and it’s pretty unpredictable it doesnt move at a consistent pace. When the wolf catches you there’s an animation showing it eating your character
