Dreamtale - Blog Posts

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.

big fucking redraw … oh my god, im such a cancer

Uh......i just don't know what to say about this

Good old days :3

You guys can request me to draw anything if you want! (I’m bored lol)

Featuring Flora and Fauna by @sociallyawkwardfirefly and Dream and Nightmare by joku

Some rambling and a version without text under the cut-

Ok ok I know this is technically impossible, since Flora and Fauna are born in the post-incident Dreamtale, but what if the four of them could spend a day together? What kind of day would it be? I imagine it would be just them enjoying each other’s company and playing around, ‘cause they are all just children. And you just can’t play outside and not get dirty, so yeah, here’s my explanation. Initially only the youngest ones were dirty but then I got a little too much into drawing stains…

Yeah, Flora and Fauna’s designs are amazing, drawing them was super fun! But it feels like my version of Fauna looks way more like a cat than he’s supposed to, oops

And this is my first time trying to draw an actual background (not just fill it in with one color haha), so eeh it’s pretty simplistic, but I tried. Apparently, my drawings either look like I spilled all the colors of the rainbow on them at once (look at this sunset), or they are just so dark that you can barely see anything. No in between :D

Anyway, here’s the version without text in case anyone is interested, and click for better quality, because I don’t know what thick lines are, so a bunch of them is barely visible xD

I’m right…right?

a little thank you gift for @annaraebananawriter for writing an absolutely amazing continuation fic of my dreamtale confrontation comic!

honestly it’s made so well that i’d draw the entire fic if i could LMAO (but i can’t)

please go read it!! especially if you’re interested about nightmare’s reaction to this comic i made!

full props and credits to anna for the wonderful fic!

I’m Right...Right?

Yellow everyone! Here, have a Nightmare centered oneshot! Yep, that’s right: Nightmare. This is mostly because of @dreemurr-skelememer‘s drawing of an argument between the brothers that just vibed with me so much, I had to write an aftermath type thing from what I think Nightmare would react. Hope you enjoy!

Fandom: Undertale, but specifically Dreamtale

Characters: Nightmare (Who belongs to Joku)

Warnings: Self-hatred, language and I think that’s it? Let me know!

The sound of the portal echoed in his ears. He stared at the last place his brother was, not moving, not blinking as he left. The clearing fell into an uneasy quiet, like it too shared his feelings of surprise and anger over what had just happened. He couldn’t even hear any wind. It was, if he was honest, unreal.

Nightmare stared. He stared and stared, although he had no clue why.

He stood there, chest heaving and yet not hearing his breathing; the static in his head too loud.

He should leave. He had no reason to remain here, so the logical thing to do would be to open up a portal, just like Dream did, and leave, forgetting this ever happened. His boys would distract him from thinking about this further with all their games and chaos they do when they aren’t battling. Soon, he would forget this ever happened, just like Dream would. Soon, they would be back to their regular fights, regular taunting and banter, regular pleas and arguments.

Soon…everything would go back to normal.

…

…

…

However…

“You were everything to me…” Broken voice. Tears running down, never-ending. Desperate for an answer that Nightmare couldn’t give because—

…something tells him that won’t happen.

I love these two

So… ah, I made a thing. I kind of hope to write chapters for this, so I’m going to call this chapter one of Flora and Fauna’s story. Sorry if there are inconsistencies, and also if there is any mistakes regarding Dreamtale. Also, I deviate from canon quite a bit, so…uh, don’t be surprised XD Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story, since this was the most fun that I have had writing in a while!

Look at him shining in the dark
