Look. This ain’t true. Like at all. This is so not the dynamic of this ship-

BUT

It’s fucking hilarious

So I made this on a google doc on my phone and I’m heading back to my sleep because of course, this came to me in a dream

Today I woke up and chose silliness!

(yes, the mood of my posts is all over the place but this is what you signed up for, it's literally in the name x'D)

This is another contribution to the silly rabbit au (by @cuubism ) featuring @magnusbae 's Dream in a hoodie.

#silly rabbit au #dreamling #well hob did say that he can fake is own death if needed but how many times will he have to do that? xD #at some point hob starts to attend his own funeral as a guest. and if anybody asks questions he's all like: no sadly i am no robert gadling #(/or whatever name he's been using) and i will miss that man dearly #(and he's speaking the truth because he's practically burying a life that he has built up. he's burying the person #he has been for past decades)#it's a slow process but hob starts to sprinkle the small but outrageous truths in conversation and let's others take it however they want t #he very inconspicuously adopts Dream's attitude and starts to play along with Dream's misleading truths #and then he starts to spin the tales in different directions - derailing Dream's stories #and THAT'S when the chaos really starts xD #why make dream's storytelling easier when he can twist it and basically fight fire with fire right? :DD #also. don't listen to me im just shitposting here

*sits bolt upright*

Vaggie and Emily roleswap where Emily figured out Sera was keeping something from her and snuck out down to Hell to learn what, and happened to meet Charlie while disguised as a Sinner and is just. Actively sneaking back and forth from Heaven to try and slowly peel back the beuracratic interference with Charlie's dream from Heaven while also actively helping her run the Hotel in hell-

*goes back to sleep*

#Meanwhile Vaggie I'm imagining like. Just got fired? When she didn't kill someone? And got reassigned a desk job #Which like. Could even be how Emily figured out something wasn't right in hell-#Ngl Chaggie would not be off the table in this au #As a like. 'Vaggie knows all along the exterminations are wrong but is too scared of Lute doing Canon Things to her to do anything about it #And then Hell's princess comes along singing about how she has a dream and cares so deeply for her people it hurts and reignites that fire-#Plus the 'oh god the one person who believed in me was lying to me' would. Yknow. Hit a LOT harder with Em actively lying #Instead of Vaggie hiding from her past so hard she doesn't even want to acknowledge it-#vaggie hazbin hotel #emily hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel #charlie hazbin hotel

Had a weird Hollow Knight-related dream a couple days ago, so I decided to draw a major scene I remembered from it dgsgshf

More context will be in the tags, for those interested!

#hollow knight #little ghost #hk ghost #the knight #hk hornet #hornet #alright. as of writing these tags it's been a week since the original dream so! let's see what i remember dgsgsgf #i was playing a game. which was a sequel to hollow knight ((Not silksong though))#there was some new sort of divine infection in hallownest and hornet had asked ghost to investigate it. they ended the last one after all!#the red glowy spike gate thingy is what you jumped into to enter the 'infected' areas #though it actually led directly to a hub world type of place. which was kinda like an expanded base for the grimm troupe?#more like an entire lair instead of a camp. also some greek gods were there for some reason lmao. they had their own special rooms too #so sidenote but- new headcanon that there are grimm troupe members named ares athena artemis &... venus lmao. not aphrodite for some reason #also monomon was there?? i think??? except she was cooking????? she had a sidequest to deliver something to someone though i dunno hdgfhdgh #i remember going back to the grimm troupe lair a couple times throughout my 'playthrough'#anyway. the 'infection' this time around was more of a glitchy physical corruption thing? rather than a mind corruption.#though there were still aggressive enemies to fight. but i remember getting a map from cornifer early on and he was. probably infected #i think part of his body was covered in electricity or something? so he wasn't fully visible? but he was still acting normally #there was also a moth who was the seer but then later wasn't the seer (but was still the same moth) dghgdhf. i delivered stuff to her #that glowing white wall thing in the drawing was like a one-way gate. you could only cross it from the other side and ghost came from there #i guess things looped back up somehow i dunno ghdgfhgf #anyway. ghost's red eyes. those are significant! those happened while i was walking through a corridor. it had pools of shallow water #(shallow enough to just walk through) and also creatures that were lightseeds but red.the implication was that they were full of Blood lmao #and as i went along killing them--as one does--as i walked through the hall. they started turning the water red too #there was also narration about this as it was happening ashdgsf. specifically the narrator said the water turned red before it actually did #ghost's eyes slowly turned red too. but aside from that they were fine! since. they're the player character and the player is perfectly fin #BUT. when they encountered hornet again. she thought they were infected. and that she lost the only family she had left </3 #she didn't attack though. instead she just jumped into the red spike gate without a word. decided to try to fix everything herself #but eventually you'd encounter her again down below and she'd fight you. didn't actually get to that in the dream though #aand i'm out of tags </3 i wanted to talk about what i'd do to make this make more sense as an au or something now that i'm awake but. :c

wrote the tiniest bit of happy hurricane luke and percy and it caused me psychic damage

#this is supposed to be for a dream fake out but i might actually have to write a genuine au one shot #of them all being happy and the family they’re meant to be (along w annabeth) without a sad ending #because seeing what could have been alongside what actually happened makes me want to vomit #ialwbty

Been thinking more about the dragon valley au, will probably definitely have to move it to my active aus uvu;

#pom talks #gonna be very heavy platonic punznap at first #cuz Punz is figuring out how to care for this lil dragon hatchling and definitely screwing up along the way #and Sap is definitely getting a jealous arc when they move out to the farm and meet other dragons #which he's excited about at first but the moment Punz shows the slightest interest in Karl or George Sap gets all clingy like #excuse you I'M your dragon!!#and having a clingy creature the size of a pony full of claws spines and teeth and who can not control their fire #is a recipe for disaster #he's especially jealous of George cuz he's really pretty and also big enough for Dream to ride on #and he keeps teasing sapnap for being small #(it's okay tho Sap is still growing and the moment Foolish start recommending Punz proper dragon food Sapnap grows a lOT)#dragon valley au

Been reading svsss fanfic and fan content for nearly two years now and I gotta say I am appalled by the lack of diety bros!sqq and sqh.

Like, we don't have nearly enough creator deity sqh anyway (the feral ones are e x q u i s i t e) but I haven't seen any where sqq is on the same level!

Consider: at one point in the past sy, in full hater inglory, starting (accidentally or otherwise) a full scale fan war over pidw. Trolls rampaging through comment sections, toxic ship wars spilling into social media sites and trending for days, streams of hate mail, attempts at doxxing poor sqh even. It culminates in the crashing of the entire site he posts on, obliterating the chapter he was working on and the site admins banning his work.

For the days it takes for him to get it put back up with his account unsuspended sqh suffers, and he almost successfully gets peerless cucumbers account terminated for starting it until he realises that pc jumped right back to paying for chapters and extra content like he was doing even in the final days of the war. Like he never did anything. Yeah, like he'll be forgetting that username any time soon.

Skip to the final chapter, and the fan war has calmed down, and actually benefitted sqh in the long run by giving pidw such a huge cultural platform. He posts, sy responds with the most scathing vitriol he's ever commented (having successfully pressed send before his body gave out) with allusions to another fan war surely brewing, and sqh jumps from his chair in fury and terror - he's on complete burnout, he hasn't got anything left to give, he can't afford to go through that again -

Trips, spills, the ramen gets everywhere. Killed by his own sparking computer, he dies before he sees the files corrupt, the entirety of pidw corroding away into terabytes of faulty static.

They both die within minutes of each other, sqh, the creator of pidw -

And sqq, who destroyed it.

#I just think that'd be incredible to read #I love healthy cuplane but sometimes I just think they aren't vicious enough #The parallels in the book are already close enough #It'd just take a couple small adjustments and BAM #barely an au but so feral #Yin yang connection where sy is the great evil with a genuinely kind personality hidden away #And sqh the great creator who scurries around helping people out who might stone his favourite oc to death with his bare hands #Sqh holds the most sincere hatred for pc for the longest time and vice versa but then they meet in pidw #And it's been long enough that a screaming match venting it all cleanses most of the active loathing #I'd like to think they end up getting along and feeding each others diety complexes when they discover #Their influences in regard to the world remain #Also I am in desperate need of a Ultimate Regress Forms where sqh is all lines of code and sqq is made of error messages and glitching stat #No one in svsss would have any idea what they were looking at #It'd be so delicious #If you want to go extra angsty: yqy seeing and realising sj has been taken away but being helpless against what replaced him #Lbh having weird dreams hearing them talking together like the Minecraft people end scene #Mbj would of course both find it hot and have a full crisis of hierarchy if he found out #Sqh: glowing from behind eyes blank text streaming behind him I WEAVE THE THREADS OF REALITY TO MY WHIM #Sqq: movements lagging behind sound of static face glitching horribly SUCKS FOR YOU I HAVE A BIG PAIR OF SCISSORS THEN #svsss #scum villain's self saving system #scum villain #shen yuan #cumplane #shang qinghua #moshang #bingqiu #shen qingqiu

AU where:

Jessamy is shot. She dies. But instead of dying instantly or falling unconscious from blood loss and pain, she deliberately chooses to spend her last moments asleep while waiting for Death to claim her once again.

She desires to be Dream’s Raven again.

#sandman au #jessamy the raven #death of the endless #dream of the endless #…this probably repeats several times tbh #maybe Death finally withholds her Gift the same way she does for Hob #maybe Jessamy is Elevated the same way Lucienne was once Dream is free #OR…here me out…Dream has TWO Ravens for companions #Jessamy and Matthew #(they probably DON’T get along. at least. not initially. but they have a grudging respect for eachother #(since they’re both pretty protective of Dream)#anyway. Lucienne did say ‘take /A/ raven with you’#which to me implies there are Many Ravens all existing simultaniously #and many act as companions to Dream as well #some are just closer to Dream than others #((…also YES. if you read that as ‘I wanna be a paladin again’ that was intentional)

I saw a tag on the au comic of George wrapping the burn from sapnap about making excuses to push that nothings wrong and it’s been churning in my head since, is George’s willingness to ignore the bad stuff something that gets confronted or addressed?

Like does George see it’s affects on dream or when a particularly bad reaction to a trigger gets worse? Does dream bring it up in anger about what he sees as a transactional relation (his life for George’s kingship) or when he pushes down his trauma too much and backfires? Is it something sapnap notices once he doubts dream’s trauma less or (if the situation with the burn isn’t the only time his anger hurts dream physically/mentally) is it guilt that sees how pretending nothing wrong is causing more cracks?

Or does it resolve slowly as they trust more and begin to see what’s really happened?

Sorry if this is too long or a bit confusing! I’m a bit of a sucker when it comes to angst that gets worse before the healing starts 😅

ohhh this is a juicy one, thank you anon

for a disclaimer I want to say that while a lot of the fun in this au is the exploration of how thoroughly toxic c!dream team would be if they were to team up now and address their problems in an in-character way (which is not addressing anything at all lmao), I as a major dteam enjoyer would feel far too guilty about not trying to fix their relationship. so while I have no plans of a direct confrontation of MR!George's attitude and blantant ignorance of issues at hand, especially not by MR!Dream, he will eventually have to face reality and change his attitude and live with the simmering guilt of telling Dream to suck it up after Sapnap defended the man who tortured him for months in his face.

before anything else, Dream does try to make the relationship as close to purely transactional as possible. he finds comfort in putting a pricetag on everything he does and doesn't dwell on anything that happens between him and George or him and Sapnap, at least not externally (though he does keep track of things, for his own safety).

George takes care of him, mentally and physically, but he never goes beyond what is absolutely necessary, and Dream very much sees it as a good thing! it gives him space he needs and the fact that George "doesn't care enough" to pry means that the relationship is transactional and not something much much deeper (even if it hurts and he wishes they could go back, sometimes). he treats it very much like c!dream treats his relationship with c!punz - definitely close, definitely friends, definitely give each other enough space and don't ask uncomfortable questions so they can keep a vague facade of both of them doing it for personal gain.

because George will wrap the burns, and he will check on Dream's injuries daily, and he gives Dream regen potions, and he holds him in his arms when Dream has a particularly bad panic attack, and he knows when to step back because Dream faced an unexpected trigger. but he doesn't ask what the trigger was, doesn't ask why Dream cried for Sam in desperation through a nightmare. and I will not say much more since the next comic should cover this (hint hint: dream has a fringe in this au despite the rest of his hair being long)

it does become significantly easier for them to actually notice things when they are willing to look though. when they actually think about the subtle changes, the flinch away from Sapnap's axe, the crease in his brows when Sam or Quackity are mentioned. it's an equal part of Dream revealing something after being pushed and the two of them being more willing to listen after he has said (in Dream's opinion) far too much.

but the resolution is a slow process. threads unravel on their own when given enough time. and once the unraveling goes too far they can't go back, so might as well make the best of it and maybe for once, in a quite out of character way, sit down and communicate.

tl;dr: it's a mix of natural progression of time and a series of incidents that prompt them to actually confront their views and properly talk. there might have never been much of a change without Sapnap pushing until Dream snaps, or Dream having a moment of weakness and telling Sapnap how he views his attachments, or him melting into the familiarity that is George's hands cupping his cheeks as George counts to 10 and Dream slowly remembers how to breathe.

#monarchy restoration au #asks #dsmp #the eternal battle of 'there is comics for this I will draw them in the future' and 'i dont wanna brush off all asks I get with 'lol SOON''#I still think that some of these things are subject to change depending on how I develop other aspects of the AU #especially the later parts #Im a huge softie that wants everyone to make up and get along but Im also a sadist who wants to push the angst as far as I can go #the real question is 'how far is too far and beyond repair'#and what will Sapnap and George have to do to prove to Dream that the shit they said and did was result of their own ignorance #and how much would dream be willing to have either comfort him #how out of character would it be of him to cry?#how much hurt/comfort can I fit into their dynamics for it to make sense and not just be completely different characters #I walk a thin line #ngl the best way to describe dreamnap relationship in the au at first is the attachments comic except sometimes it results in the argumens #and dnf in this is very much summed up as the two panel 'dream look at me' snippet I drew #gentle demands and gentle hands but they are demands and orders nonetheless #anon if I made no sense or sounded stupid Ive yet to have my coffee I am so sorry

someone needs to write SCP and The Sandman crossover fic and if no one else does it, i will do it!

#what if the foundation somehow ended up being the ones containing morpheus #i just had an idea that went something along the lines of #and then spiraled into expremely detailed dialogue of dr bright begging death to just let him die already #am i really the only one that thinks all of these crossovers are a good idea???#im just spitting these out left and right lol #anyways dream is obviously thaumiel #i think all of the endless are #anyways how do you even contain the dude #you can pretty much just lock him in a box surrounded with a bunch of occult symbols and have a bunch of guards that never sleep #wich arent even that weird containment procedures #compared to other stuff ive read #idk what im on about but neither do you lol #stuff #text #scp #the sandman #scp au #also fo the benefit of everyone if i ever write this i will definetly ignore the existence of the justice legue and so on #superheroes and the scp foundation just dont mix very well #also hc or whatever but ther serpents hand has a bunch of portals/ways into the dreaming specifically the library
