I'm pretty sure that we never get a canon explanation of how Nightmare gained his castle. I've already explored multiple possibilities with that in the past, but writing my most recent fic I was thinking: what if it's just an extension of his corruption, like the tentacles?
Imagine, overtime he managed to accumulate more and more. So the castle started off as just a throne, then it became a room, then corridors and rooms started being added.
Being made of corruption, the Castle is arguably as alive as Nightmare himself. And it probably equally needs to feed, which gives Nightmare an ulterior reason for wanting henchmen and for why most don't last long in there.
The Castle is a malicious entity just as much as Nightmare is. It's vindictive. It twists and shapes its insides like it's most convenient to it. It has eyes and ears everywhere, but that doesn't mean that it always snitches to Nightmare. It's not a beast that Nightmare controls after all, it considers itself on the same level as the god. It only tends to aid Nightmare because he's the one bringing it food. But it could be interesting if, at some point, it starts working on selecting certain people to keep forever so that it can grow independent and kick Nightmare out. After all, I highly doubt that two incarnations of the same corruption would like to share a space forever.
I imagine that, someone like Killer who's grown so used to reading all of Nightmare's micro-movements would probably study the Castle with just as much attention. That could explain how he was able to sneak around with Color behind Nightmare's back. He probably knew how to get on the Castle's good side.
Although, I do think that the Castle's favorite resident would likely be Dust. He has nowhere else to be, no one waiting for him, and he's filled to the brim with negativity. That's an ideal candidate for a permanent stay.
Funnily enough, I think Nightmare himself would be the Castle's least favorite resident. He's unfortunately just very useful.
It will be discussed in a hearing next Wednesday (April 17th) along with other related bills. There's a calling day planned for the day before (April 16th) to show just how much resistance there is to this bill, but you don't have to participate in that to tell your reps it's garbage.
It hasn't been passed in the Senate yet, so contact your Senators too!
Here are two email and call tools (be aware that the Bad Internet Bills tool will take you through a number of relevant representatives, most of which won't be your local reps. Stop KOSA will give you the option to call after you send an email):
Your representatives might also be available to fax via FaxZero, which is completely free - just make sure you click the confirmation links in your email to actually send your faxes. It accepts regular .txt files for the fax, along with common file types like .docx and .pdf. You can copy an email script or the call scripts from this post for the body of your fax:

It’s sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.
There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!
