I Feel Like There's So Much Fun To Be Had With Nightmare And Dream Being From A Time Where Language Had

I feel like there's so much fun to be had with Nightmare and Dream being from a time where language had very different meanings, especially with queer stuff.

Like, the word queer used to just mean odd or unusual. Imagine Nightmare and gang visiting an au they're not familiar with and Nightmare points out one of the residents and says "he looks awfully queer" and the gang is like "whoaaa boss you can't say that" and he's so confused.

Girls used to be the word for all children regardless of gender. Just picture Dream off-handedly telling Ink and Blue about how he and Nightmare used to get along so well "back when we were girls" and the other two just wordlessly accept that these two ancient emotion guardians are trans and super casual about it. Bonus if this is also happening in Nightmare's gang and when it all comes out both groups have to explain gender identities to their leader.

Gay meant joyful and carefree. You could go 50 different ways with this. Killer tries to come out like "boss... I'm gay" and Nightmare is like "??? alright... I'm glad you're happy". Dream sighs wistfully and says "I just wish we could all be a bit more gay" and Ink can't decide which joke to make he just has to go lie down. Nightmare rallying his boys before a mission like "my brother believes the entire world should be positive but there must be balance, we cannot all be gay." and they share a worried look like "shit was one of us supposed to be straight??"

Thinking about Sans Aus as fairytales. Current obsession is Nightmare and the Star Sanses, Three Little Pigs style plotline.

Nightmare is the wolf, but I really think the Star Sanses could each be any of the three pigs, respectively - depending on what personality they are given by the person telling the tale.

For examples:

Ink;

Ink as Straw pig: An agent of chaos. Just throws caution to the wind and is more interested in seeing how things can play out.

Ink as Stick pig: More cautious with a stronger sense of self-preservation. Still curious and perhaps a little interested in seeing things go to hell.

Ink as Brick pig: No interest in letting a risk slip through for entertainment. Takes his role as the protector very seriously and puts the safety of himself and his friends above all else.

Swap;

Swap as Straw pig: Naïve and trusting. Oblivious to the danger that his blind sense of trust can bring.

Swap as Straw pig: Usually on guard, but tries his best to see the good in people, even if they are only showing him the bad.

Swap as Brick pig: Protective and cautious. Understands the dangers of being too trusting, but also understands when to let someone in.

Dream;

Dream as Straw pig: Still sees Nightmare as the brother he once had. Will do anything to get that brother back, even if it means putting himself in danger.

Dream as Stick pig: Hopeful that Nightmare will come around one day, but aware that day may never come. He protects himself but takes chances to try and reach out, even if he fails over and over.

Dream as Brick pig: Knows his brother is never coming back. May or may not have accepted that fact, but knows that he needs to distance himself from the idea that whatever Nightmare is now, he is not to be trusted.

My personal favourites are Straw Ink, Stick Dream, and Brick Blue, but any combination works really. Anyway, thanks for reading my ramble.
