Nim - Blog Posts

I missed the Dreamtale twins....well, my version of them atleast

Honestly I redesigned Nightmare and Dream because I hate the creator and since she throws a tantrum like a baby whenever someone makes a change in her au I use it to make her mad :]

Anyways here is a bit of lore about them:

-Dream and Nightmare arent really "a version of sans", they never been one

-Dream has some plant features in his sans form just like his Mother (he hates it lol)

-Dream uses a sans look like appearance because he doesnt wants to scare people he helps, after all, Both Dream and Nightmare are the sons of an Angel (Yes they do technicaly have a dad), and looking at an Angel like creature is hard and kind of disturbing for mortals, its not hard for their friends to look at them since their eyes have got used to it, but someone Who just met Dream or Nightmare wont be that okay with it

-Nightmare and Dream can be called she, it, he or anything else, they dont label things, That also counts for sexualities, races, genders and more, they are whatever you call them, they wont really care

-Dream and Nightmare has an older brother called "Savior" (Who looks like a papyrus)

-Dream and Nightmare hates their mom, Nim ruined Nightmare by manipulating him to do shit she's not able to do herself and also was one of the reasons for the Apple incident, Dream was neglected a lot by Nim since she was more focused on Nightmare, she was manipulative towards him as well

-Nightmare and Dream made a truce almost a decade ago, they are mostly okay with eachother (they both technicaly are good guys in their own way)

-The only thing Dream and Nightmare has in common with a sans is their love for junk food and bad puns

-Nightmare turning Dream into stone bit might not be in this au (Im not sure yet)

-Nightmare usually doesnt uses a sans disguise since he has trauma related to the incident with it, he usually uses an Undyne disguise if he needs to, Also her second favorite disguise is Asgore

-Nightmare can have a disguise but he cant hide what happened to his eye, that part stays the same

-Sometimes flowers blooms on top of Dream’s head if he's happy or frustered

-Nightmare sees his team as his kids (and talks about them like they are his kids) while Dream sees his team as friends

-Dream's best friend is İnk

-Nightmare and Dream are in good terms

-Dream and Nightmare shares a similiar hate towards mortals like their mom, but ofcourse they have expections

-Nightmare's best friends are Ccino and Abby/Abolitionist Chara

-Dream dates Fresh while Nightmare is with Reaper Sans 🤭

-Nightmare likes reading and tea

-Both Dream and Nightmare will outlive their teams :(

-Dream keeps forgetting that his friends are mortals and they need stuff like sleep and eating at times, meanwhile Nightmare was forced to learn since everyone in his castle are insane and ignores their own needs, meaning Nightmare had to learn to take care of them

-Both Nightmare and Dream are physicaly very strong

-Both Dream and Nightmare can consume rotten food without any issue, they are literal gods of Negativity and Positivity, they cant get sick that easily

-Dream is nice but he isnt weak or dumb, he also does NOT has the mind set of a child, he will kick ass if he needs to

-Both Dream and Nightmare has issues with the english launguage since some words were very different, as an example, the word gay meant "joyful" and "happy" in the past....I dont think I need to explain what kind of train wrack this cauzed

-Savior is a good older brother so both Dream and Nightmare loves him

-Both of the guardians teams did several tests behind Dream and Nightmare's backs to see if they are plants or not, neither of them find the answer yet...

-Dream and Nightmare suspects they might turn into a tree when they become older, they dont like the idea :(

Thats all that I can remember

*Panicking over being noticed liking someone's posts by someone*

U-um-um- COMIC!!

*Throws context out the window and jumps out after it*

(Ignore if it's bad, it's one of my first comics (made for practice) and the other I made was years ago.)

Nim: Alright, if Nightmare had 900 black apples-

Dream, innocently: Why does Nighty have so many apples?

Nightmare, kicking through the tree: MIND YOUR BUSINESS DREAM!!

Dreamtale shower thoughts

You know it's bad when Dream calls you a bad person, right? But if he says that he hates you it's much worse, because in canon he literally cannot hate people from his soul, so he literally broke his own soul because of how horrible you are.

What if Nightmare got shoved in a tub of water, would he be able to be passive again for a short amount of time or would he just corrupt the water or would he melt in it, because if that was the case what if he fell into a river? He would probably struggle to even get out in one piece, he probably would never be whole again and just be like, "Where am I!?" On the surface or in waterfall, he's super tiny just trying to get back to the castle and trying to find the rest of him.

What if Nim actually tried to have a relationship with her sons? Would the corruption process go faster or slower? Nim hated mortals but she would never want either one of the brothers to eat the apples, would try to comfort Nightmare or would she belittle him for crying and not being strong enough to protect the tree?

What if Neil met Nightmare? Would he like Nightmare the same as Dream and take him under his wing or would Neil be rude like he was at first to Dream? Would Neil go willingly to meet Nightmare at Dream's request? Would they bond over the fact that the village hates the both of them and they love Dream (as a brother or son that you lost)?

The last guardian AU (Nim)

Finally have finished Nim for you. I have to say I am pretty happy with her look. Also this version of Nim was actually a good mother (or she tried to be). She genuinely loved her children a lot, but after she was wounded she had to become very strict with Dream to teach him as much as she could, because her days were numbered. She also made a grave for Nightmare, beliving the king had later killed him as some kind of revenge. Another very sad fact is that Dream had to bury his mom when he was just 8 years old :(

Oh yeah, that Hunter stuff is dumb as fuck.

There's a reason almost nobody ever follows that; even when little Nighty dies. In Im_Sorry_Buddy's fanfic Spilled Ink, it's just corruption overtaking him and not a third party haunting his corpse.

Dream is always more interesting when he combats negative emotions, and Nightmare is always more interesting when he is (at least most of the time) in control of himself. (Passive and Corruption sharing a body is also interesting, but I haven't ever seen Passive with Hunter and For Good Fucking Reason.)

Words cannot describe how much I despise the og dreamtale story, and I'll share why.

if we're speaking purely by the barebones plot, dreamtale can be, on a surface level, considered a well put together story on how there are different ways to feel negative and positive emotions and how feeling negativity towards some things is healthy, but letting it consume you leads to you yourself becoming what you previously hated the most. It also explores how being to positive and not letting yourself feel negative emotion is harmful toward your mental health and wellbeing.

This is where I think Dreamtale fundamentally fails.

Joku decided to write Nightmare (and dream but we'll get there) in a way that actually harms the story its trying to tell.

Passive is an innocent child, bullied for something he cannot control, this is because the people around him associate negative emotion and negativity = Bad, harmful. As the readers, we know this isn't the case, but eventually, passive is pushed over the edge and consumes one of the apples of negativity.

Nightmare is immediately corrupted, but instead of Nightmare being well.... nightmare, passive is apparently dead and nightmare is now a dead, vengeful hunter that had tried to slay Nim (Dream and Nightmares Mother) a soul was trapped in the tree?

This could be Joku trying to convey that sometimes negativity can consume a person so much it fundamentally changes them, but this is much less impactful. We have not grown close to this Nightmare, we just know that he's evil now, and he wants to kill everyone yet also have more negativity? The only motive that makes sense is killing his brother.

I believe that this could have been much more impactful if we cut the hunter out entirely and portray Nightmare as he really was when he transformed; A scared, hurt child.

Nightmare wasn't immediately this imposing, dark, and looming figure of uncertain fate, he was a child whose negative emotions consumed him, and being a young child, he lashed out.

And he would continue lashing out, for many years, many different villages. But as he aged, he also matured and realized that the murder of thousands of people would not help him achieve his main goal: Killing Dream. After this realization, he hid himself away in an abandoned castle, collecting his followers from across the multiverse and preparing for the fights with Dream soon to come.

Dream is a little more complicated to asses, as throughout the story, he is portrayed as an innocent baby who can never do anything wrong.

But Dream is an adult.... and he should be treated as such. we never see any of Dreams flaws and disadvantages explored, only the fact that he loves his brother.

I wish we could've seen Dream struggle with negative emotions and feels as thought he must bottle them up being the guardian of positivity.

I want to see him look back and hate the villagers that hurt his brother, and he has to come and confront the fact that he has hate and negativity in his soul and its okay to feel those emotions.

But this is all just my opinion, share your thoughts/how you think the story could have been handled better.
