once upon silvers dreams
sweet silver stuff, hopefuly i wrote him ok, I don't know his character very well.
Another assignment by professor crewel for the dream potion led to mc sitting next to a tree by the forest thinking over who would be ok going into their dream. They know sometimes their dreams were odd due to being from another world. And as an extra part of the assignment was to try and connect more to someone they are aquatinted with but not really friends with.
It was an interesting conundrum for Mc since they knew and had a lot of friends but didn’t have many people that they did know but weren’t friends with. They continued to sit for a while, their thoughts drifting here and there. Then they noticed a few animals around. even more strange were 2 birds carrying a dark jacket to the other side of the tree they were leaning against.
They watched the birds gently drape the jacket over a man with silvery hair, sleeping aginst the tree. The immage reminded them of an old movie they watched a long time ago. They smiled as they hummed a song from it and sat back down, mind wandering. in theri haze they reached for their water bottle but grabbed and drank their potion. They realised once they swallowed then sighed. Quickly writing a note to the man, remembering his name from one of the 2nd and first year mixed classes. Silver.
They quickly fell asleep as they set the note next to him along with the other potion bottle. Silver woke shortly after to his animal friends gently nudging him. Ne hoticed the note and potion.
"dear silver, sorry about the suddenness of this note, I need your help with a dream potion assignment. If you are ok with it, could you drink it and join me in my dreams? I'll owe you a favor. Hope to see you soon Mc"
He looked down at the potion and shrugged, he knew his master was fond of the kind, magicless human, and this potion was just to be a part of their dream. It couldn't hurt to help. So he quickly downed the pink potion and drifted off to sleep once more.
He woke up against a tree his dark coat and hat missing from his uniform. He had his batton out and it nseemed he was practicing against an old dead tree, if the grooves were anything to go by. He felt the need to look for his missing uniform pieces so he started to wander around, until he heard soft singing. Something that felt familiar yet alien to him.
"I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
Yet I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem"
He moved a bush out of the way and noticed Mc danging with some ghosts near the edge of the forest, the ghosts wearing his dorm outfit giggling as they danced around Mc as they sang that intriguing song.
"But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream"
they happily hummed as they continued to dance. The entire situation felt familiar yet not to silver as he watched. He suddenly felt the dram push him toward them as they spun toward him.
"But if I know you, I know what you do
You love me at once" They sang before Silver started to sing with them.
"The way you did once upon a dream" He finished alone sinc eth Mc stopped singing due to their surprise at a new and unfamiliar voice. They looked at the ghost with silver at their back and the ghosts just shrugged before disappearing, letting the clothes they borrowed fall to the ground.
"Oh!" They said now looking at silver and pulling away from him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you." He said. Moving to grab his stuff.
"Well, it's not that. it's just that you're a... a" They stammered now embarrassed at being caught singing.
"A stranger?" he finished for them. They nodded and looked away back toward where ramshackle would be.
"But don't you remember? We've meet before." he said turning to them, now in his full uniform.
"we-we have?" they said now looking back at him, surprised.
"well of course, you said so yourself, once upon a dream." he finished with a small smile. they smiled back, before moving toward ramshackle. They were about to say something but he started to sing. He as a bit supprised himself but didn't fight as the dream led him along.
"I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam" he sang, catching up to them before leading them in a dance through a small field of wildflowers. they looked surprised before they joined his singing.
"And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream" they finish together. They both snapped out of the strange memory/ scene the dream had them do. Silver quickly pulled away, sighing.
"I'm sorry about that, I don't really know what over came me. forgive me if I confused or startled you." he apologised.
"no, it's ok. I remember that scene. it's from a movie I haven't seen in a while. I think I was thinking about it as I fell asleep... So this is somewhat my fault you had to do that." They said. awkwardly patting his back. He chuckled before looking around at the familiar, yet slightly distorted dream world.
"I hope you got the data you needed for the assignment, I'm unsure how else I can help," he said now looking back at them. They smiled at his kind words and smile.
"All i really needed to know is that it can add someone to my dreams to interact with, so it worked perfectly. Thank you silver." the world started to fade around them both.
"it seems that our dream is ending. Thank you for the experience Mc. Ill try and remember ho we knew each other once upon a dream." he said before they both woke up.

hi I just wanted to say your tags on the gaster poll posts are so correct yessss (always enjoy your takes just in general). thank you for being one of the seemingly very few people out there who also believes there's no way the timeline works for gaster and alphys to have been colleagues. however, him haunting her benevolently is something I'm 1000% here for <3 (also I hope your finals went well and you get to have a nice relaxing break!)
HII HELLO HI im glad you like them!!! knowing you read these motivates me to keep being Absolutely Very Normal About Him on the internet
personally it's less of a believing thing and more of a come on it's written right there thing, but since we're here.
behold! dingus timeline. (and the hottest of takes with freshly baked personal headcanons otherwise what am i doing)
Not a skeleton?
Isn't 201X too early?
Indeed, not a skeleton, but rather, some guy. Something about how monster's bodies are manifestations of their SOUL, and him oddly resembling a strange looking man does well to represent his insatiable curiosity and love for creating. (things humans are known for in a better light)
On the other hand, you will be pleased with how fascinated he is by "FLESHLINGS AND THEIR CALCIUM DEPOSITS".
And then they fucking died.
201X is the year the first human fell into the underground, and shortly after, the royal family has moved to New Home. This means some decent exploration of the cavern has already been made. Scientists could very well already have been working on optimizing life underground, with special attention to the large and ever growing new capital.
My idea? As this idiot has been aiding exploration with his antics, Gerson was the one to appoint him to Asgore. Something about his talent with turning garbage into non-garbage. With a little patience and getting familiar with his odd manerisms, it was not too long until he got to be the prince's weird godfather.
Cracking already?
And everyone was devastated, mainly the close family. Not only that, but amidst your mourning, the one couple responsible for your unrealistically high standards for romance just divorced. Is love even real anymore. You eat ants with your cereal and your work consists mainly of convenience improvements and absolutely nothing groundbreaking. What's the point of breaking that pesky barrier again? Child murder? Come on.
That's the Wingdings PATIENCE and BRAVERY encountered in their adventure. Dear god, you're lame. Aren't you some kind of genius? Get yourself together! And together he got his self, now, he has children to look after. Surely there must be some other way. He must stop coming up with new flavours for chips and find some other way.
... Dear god, the King is going to kill them.
BONES and DT
Listen. He's old. You got your wrinkles, he's got his cracking. What? You meant to point out some major event of injury must have been responsible for his current state of deformity? Well, he's old AND heartbroken. That's a direct blow to the SOUL, okay.
Jokes aside (kind of), doing any lasting damage to a monster is quite difficult given their magic forms can easily be healed through, well, magic. They can, however, eventually "fall" (wink wink) and dust away with age - which cannot, however, be fixed with magic.
With a little determination however ...
Something about the anomaly.
He found it, the other way. It was the bones all along, the so needed sustainance for channelling such a high concentration of that power. Well, not necessarily, but a boney structure will endure much more and last much longer than a meaty one. Also, it looks so cool.
You know this guy, he gets first dibs on any and all dubious substances that might or might not deal the last hit to the nail on his coffin dust urn(?). And when it all works out (dubious), he might as well play a little. What kind of things can he make? With the material properties of these calcified remains infused with his own magic, animated with determination.
Some new, powerful magic tricks?
A new kind of monster, maybe?
DARK, DARKER, YET DARKER.
There is a lot of interesting things one can do with isolated DT, aside from making bones rattle with life - for example, peeking onto the complex layers and ramifications of what composes reality. This is when the already kooky scientist grows a little mad; manic, if you will. This is the Wingdings sans was familiar with.
Time travel this, resets that, blah blah blah alpha timeline, the anomaly, the angel, the anomaly again, all things that only make sense to him and his illegible mess on the black board. The lack of detail is killing him, he needs to know what it is - what it does, why it does, how it does. Not to stop it, no, there is no stopping it.
Rather, an overwhelming need to understand it.
He falls somewhere in recent history, details of it left ambiguous. The shattering, combined with the amount of DT running in his magical... mathematical physiology, rendered all of his self but an espectator of his reality; confined to the code and unable to do anything but watch, powerless before the nature of his very being, like a corrupted program.
It is all rather frustrating, besides the burden that is coming to terms with simply not existing anymore, watching was pretty much all this research was and now ever will be. That is, until something interacts with him. It is different from the tragic prince, whom no matter how much DT he's accumulated, he is just as confined to this world's rules as other elements. Not this one, not the force from beyond. Not "YOU".
He makes it a mission to reach out, despite the limits of the code, to give away bits and pieces of him and see if you bite. But not too much, he's seen how you tend to exhaust a world for knowledge, something he can oddly sympathize with. I mean, what will you do once you find everything? One cannot fully know a person.
Maybe in another world, prophetized by a cute, little white dog. A much better world for everyone, without so much as war or disease, his greatest creation yet. And he could invite you to it, to experience bewilderment, to be reminded of wonder. If it could even help you, wherever you are, to deem your own world worth of partaking ... then the experiment was a success.

Man this is so random but this theory is stuck in my head and I wanna see how other people feel about it because I don't see people talk about it a lot (I have no clue if the link will go through properly since I've never put a link in a ask box)
https://www.tumblr.com/art-w0rm/667910993425350656/theory-time
Oh god not this theory again. I really truly try not to be mean to people for no good reason on this blog, but this theory is literally one of the stupidest fucking things I've ever seen in my entire life. I don't talk about this theory because to me it's like the walten files theory equivalent of that tubby custard mechanically separated chicken post.
Most of the time I genuinely don't even consider it worthy of my time, because it's nonsense, but this is a very nicely worded ask, and I really don't mean to dedicate any of the vitriol I hold towards this theory to You, poor anonymous person, so I will deconstruct it. I will go through the theory point-by-point and deconstruct why I disagree with it.
First up, this:
Showbear is not a character in The Walten Files anymore. Showbear was fully retconned and is never going to appear in the series again. He was effectively just a cameo of ThunderingStatic's (one of Martin's friends) OC, but when The Walten Files blew up and people started assuming Showbear was Martin's character, Static decided to withdraw his character from the series and focus putting him in other projects.
Martin talked about this on Twitter forever ago, but I wouldn't be able to find that tweet now. But here's a bit from the interview he did with KnowYourMeme back in 2021 where he talks about it:
Now this:
This is just stupid to me? Like a complete logical incongruity? I barely even know how describe what is dumb about this because I can't even fathom how anyone draws this conclusion from this information. How is it strange for a man to say 'if my wife isn't home by the time she said she was going to be, let me know, in case something happened.'????? Why would Rosemary be out cheating on her husband with her fucking daughter with her??? If Rosemary was cheating on her husband why would her whole life collapse when he went missing? If Rosemary was cheating on her husband why would she show up at the restaurant every day after he disappeared asking if anyone had seen him and hoping to find him alive??? Why would she make paintings of herself and him together after he disappeared????? What the fuck are you talking about?
Ok now this:
Whatever. This is maybe the most coherent part of the theory, to me. I definitely agree that Sha evokes a 'wolf in sheep's clothing' sort of aesthetic, but I do remember Martin saying something in a Twitter Q&A at one point about how that wasn't actually intentional, and that Bon was the character he actually meant to seem unusually predatory. I looked for a while and couldn't find a screenshot of that, but I did find this one where he says the thing about Bon:
So whatever. take that with a grain of salt.
I don't even know what to say. here. Whatever. sure she was rolling in the hay
yeah Rosemary is asking if she's still beautiful because she cheated on her husband and not because she was chopped up and stuffed inside a big animatronic sheep. I think this is correct and is the True Deep Lore.of the walten files. I'm sure this doesn't have anything to do with the recurring motif of the double-meaning behind the word Beautiful either.
I don't know why it's weird that the lost lingering spirit of a mother would be calling out to her only living child. I Don't know why that needs additional explanation involving this batshit infidelity conspiracy theory.
Sha's chest is also ripped out
So is Banny's, honestly? Just a little less?
ok now this:
I guess I can't disprove this except that I think this is dumb. I think this is a really incredibly stupid logical leap to make. Y'know I really meant to go into this levelheadedly and very calmly go through every point and talk about why I think it's Decisively Disagreeable or whatever but I can't. I really can't. I just cannot keep my patience with this sort of thing.
You'd think if there was an infidelity aspect here it would've been lampshaded in some respect, at all, in the old /sophiewalten findjackwalten page text. Where it's literally Sophie talking to Jenny about what she remembers about her family.
Especially if the idea is that Sophie is meant to have been there. You'd think something like that would have come up here. Not 'she was nice and a good mom until my dad disappeared and her mental health started getting worse'
