AU where c!Dream is possessed by dreamon but Nightmare is actually kinda nice. Or as nice as dreamon can get
Dream can't properly remember how long it's been since he met Nightmare (as the dreamon named himself). It's been long before he was adopted by Puffy or met Sapnap and George.
At first their relationship wasn't very good. Nightmare kept on trying (and failing) to take over Dream's body while Dream was rather annoyed with this other presence that just wouldn't leave him alone. He wants to get some sleep not fight off a demon possession at 4 Am! Dream, despite being an admin is too young and inexperienced to rid himself of the dreamon and Nightmare is far too young and weak to possess an admin. In conclusion they are kinda stuck together.
Eventually they found a way to get along (it's worth mentioning that the two of them are mentally the same age). Dream had no friends or even kids of his age where he lived. And while the dreamon was annoying bitch 90% of time it turned out he's kinda nice company when he isn't trying to take over his body or convince him that murder is a nice way to start a day.
Over years Dream got skilled enough to exorcise Nightmare but at this point he can't imagine being alone, without that comforting presence in the back of his mind. Nightmare is his oldest friend, they've aleays been together. If Nightmare to leaves for a few hours it's enough to get Dream anxious. Although it doesn't happen often that Nightmare separates from him, he prefers to stick around his host. When Nightmare leaves Dream's body he's invisible to everyone but Dream and few picked people. To physically interact with anything aside from his host he needs to take Dream's energy. He doesn't deem it worth the effort. Usually he only leaves to check the area around and warn Dream of potential threats.
Things got a bit rocky when Dream met Sapnap and George and suddenly Nightmare had to share Dream with them. Dreamons are rather possessive beings and it took Dream a shit ton of explaining to get the point across. Just cuz he has new friends it doesn't mean he's abandoning Nightmare.
For a longest time dreamon was jealous. Not only at Sap and Gogy for getting Dream's attention but also at Dream because he can make friends and really live while Nightmare is just a parasite. Sure Dream lets him to control the body once in a while but it's not the same! Nightmare wants friends of his own, not Dream's friends.
And then Dream makes the server. It drained a lot of energy from him and he needed time to recharge. And since he knew about Nightmare's desire to make a friends of his own and how much the dreamon likes being able to truly interact with others Dream decided to leave Nightmare in charge while he rests.
the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
i hate when people call marcille a girlfailure btw like SHE ISNT. and shes not a ”girlboss” either. this is a neurotic and Permanently On The Edge of a Breakdown overachiever late 20s virgin just out of her phd program with permanently shaky hands from an addiction to overly sugary coffee and a deep desire to be crushed to death under falins giant jugs no matter the cost. the only thing shes ever ”failed” at is going to theraphy
Please please please I know we all love Friends and Chandler was our favourite character and Matthew always put a smile on our faces and that’s all amazing but can we please please please talk about this:
“I've had a lot of ups and downs in my life. I'm still working through it personally, but the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic or drug addict comes up to me and says, 'Will you help me?' I will always say, 'Yes, I know how to do that. I will do that for you, even if I can't always do it for myself! So I do that, whenever I can. In groups, or one on one.
And I created the Perry House in Malibu, a sober-living facility for men. I also wrote my play The End of Longing, which is a personal message to the world, an exaggerated form of me as a drunk. I had something important to say to people like me, and to people who love people like me.
When I die, I know people will talk about Friends, Friends, Friends. And I'm glad of that, happy l've done some solid work as an actor, as well as given people multiple chances to make fun of my struggles on the world wide web...
but when I die, as far as my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if Friends were listed far behind the things I did to try to help other people.
