Passive Malice!Nightmare arts i drew (1st is before transition, 2nd is after coming out and beginning the journey of transitioning :3) ✨🏳️‍⚧️

AYYY its those arts i mentioned lol
he's such a cutie fr- i love seeing him go on his journey of transitioning and i hope to any trans individuals out there you can feel a bit of representation- i try to keep it accurate and have it take time and have its bumps and struggles since its not an easy world out there especially in this day and age, and transitioning to the person you truly are takes time and doesnt happen overnight sadly

if you're trans (or any other LGBTQ+ orientation really) know that you're loved and you matter- dont listen to the transphobes/homophobes, they're just jealous because you're way more badass and cooler than they could ever be

lil update on the Nightmare Realm AU mini story situation....

hey guys, sorry things've been dead, i wanted to give you all a lil update on the situation here because ive felt bad about this tbh

for like the past week now ive been getting more and more tired and it doesnt even matter how much sleep i get, i just wake up more tired somehow. my mental health also hasnt been the best either, its thankfully not its worst but its definitely not its best either, its been at this weird line in the middle-
ive been trying my best to stay active and be able to write but my progress i make is slow and very little and isnt quiet enough to post something new yet, im currently putting my focus towards my friends (since being around my friends helps me feel better) and also doing some art since art recharges me
on the mention of art, i do actually have some arts im making which i plan on posting, and i even made an art recently you can check out on r/NootmareArmy

✨this is my plan when it comes to the story✨:
once i notice myself being able to write again, i'll be posting a notice that more to the story will be coming soon, the next day i will put together the entirety of the story so far and place that in r/NootmareArmy and send a link to that in this sub so everyone can be fully caught up and refreshed, then the day after that, i'll fully resume posting. i think this is a good plan to help get everyone involved set up and ready again for when im finally able to write more

i want to apologize that this is taking so long and its been such a struggle, its why i dont normally start up big projects like this because i know at some point along the way im gonna trip and fall thanks to life issues, but i also want to give a big thank you to you all who have been giving me your support and waiting by as I try to push on and get this project finished, i hope soon the story can finally come to an end and we can all enjoy that moment together

I hope yalls have a good day/night/whatever and stay tuned for that art if you're interested in it!

a lil Nightmare x Nightmare I thing I drew (feat (shirtless) Nightmare with handsome anime face and bald shine ✨ cuz its funny and why tf not)

specifically Nightmare x Malice!Nightmare ✨

(Malice!Nightmare is my own creation and this ship TECHNICALLLYYYY is not cannon (i mean obviously cuz then i'd need permission from Joku) but in Malice's story honestly they could easily be mistaken for being together *silly shrug*)

hot take but i HATE the Nightmare Period jokes

managed to go 2 GODDAMN YEARS without seeing one then one snuck up on me the other day and ive been angry about it ever since

now im not just gonna be a hater for no reason, THIS is why i hate it:

1: Nightmare is a man, specifically a cis man. cis men do not have uteruses, therefore cis men do not have periods. The only men who can have periods are trans men, and Nightmare is not trans. Basic fact, basic biology

2: comparing Nightmare's evil, rage, ect to that of being on a period feels downright offensive to cis women and trans men (and other genders i didnt mention) who do have periods. When someone is on their period the best way to describe it (imo) is they are more irritable than usual. They do not turn into monsters suddenly becoming transphobic, homophobic, sexist, racist, bigotry in general, individuals who'll milk a person's negativity for all they're worth in the worst most unimaginable ways possible, ect.

my 3rd reason isnt as big a deal as my first two and is more a personal opinion but it just grosses me out (im NOT grossed out by people who do have periods but i am grossed out about the fact that ppl are joking this about Nightmare when he literally CANT have them, not to mention it feels like a downplay on his evil which makes me all the more angry cuz i hate when Nightmare is depicted as a lovey softy who isnt really that evil- its inaccurate and its disgusting and its ruining his name)

so there you have it, for biology reasons, being offensive to others reasons, and my own personal feelings, i absolutely HATE the Nightmare period jokes
im curious to know if im the only one or if others hate it too

Two Alters Fighting Over Host and Causing Stress

honestly i feel nervous and uncomfortable writing this but i just need help and advice on what to do here... if it gets too bad for me making this public i'll probably just delete this later

im the host (as well as a trauma holder) and for over a year now ive been in a relationship with my gatekeeper, he's sweet and caring and honestly everything perfect. then there's one of my persecutors... him and i have been really close for awhile now and i also really loved and cared about him. well recently with the permission of gatekeeper ofc i've begun dating the persecutor as well, we kinda just realized our feelings for each other were obvious and decided to stop ignoring and let it be real

things were great, ive been co-front with the persecutor for awhile and still am but honestly it was a nice time since it was one of my lovers with me. issue is is well, gatekeeper kinda misses me but i dont wanna hang out with him right now and persecutor doesnt feel ready to share. the issue started out minor and gatekeeper would respectfully nod and leave, and try again later. every time he tried again neither me nor persecutor felt ready. my persecutor was the first to become obviously pissy about it and try to fight it, and now im starting to get irritated as well. im scared i'll ruin my relationship with gatekeeper but i just dont want to be around him right now.... my biggest worry is that the two are gonna break out into a massive fight, they used to do this around me a lot way before i was dating the persecutor and it would scare me and make me worried, i was finally able to recently get it to stop but with the tension around i feel like the fighting is gonna come back... i feel like this is my fault and im an idiot and i just need to let gatekeeper have a turn with me but i feel so sick of him lately and i just wanna be left alone with my persecutor

if anyone knows what i should do here it'd mean a lot, seriously

4 paragraphs ig *shrug* selfie pic of me writing *shrug* so uhh, yeah. definitely had to hold myself back from writing that one Nightmare kissed the other. guys should they kiss?? (recap link at bottom of w.i.p. story)

Nightmare gave Malice a tired glare out of the corner of his eye. The damn soul works way too well every time. He felt his body and his own soul relax against his choosing at the large constant flow of negativity he was holding, his tentacles starting to lower too and become limp. “..Why are you like this….”

Malice!Nightmare gave a soft smile, resting his chin on the back of his hands as they propped up his skull, his eye half-open. “Because I love you, silly. As the Guardian of Nightmares it's my job and role to give you all the TLC you could ever need..! And also just because I fucking love you Nightmares.” He tilted his head with a dark smirk, his tentacles swishing behind him. “I think of all things to love Nightmares, another Nightmare is the most proper thing. Only our own kind can truly understand us.”

Nightmare blinked slowly and stared at Malice. The soul kept him too calm to rage out or be irritated even in the slightest, keeping him trapped in a very… and no pun intended here, the man is absolutely still corrupted… passive state. “You’re villain monologuing again,” he serenely said, his calm glare still remaining on his face.

Malice!Nightmare let out a soft purr. “I know,” he then glanced down at the plate of goodies. “By the way, half of those are yours, since you never picked any sweets. Don’t worry about getting fatter, you’ll be walking off the calories after this.” Malice then took his soul back now that Nightmare was calmed down again.

6 paragraphs yesterday and 6 paragraphs today LETS GOOOOO- *cough* we got a bit of Nightmare x Nightmare flaring up *cough* only like a tiny bit lol- maybe i increase it later if im feeling evil mwuhuhu (recap link at bottom of w.i.p. story)

Nightmare’s tentacles twitched and he let out a harsh growl, snatching up Malice’s tentacle that was touching his chest and shoving it away. There was no point in arguing back right now, Malice would just give him public humiliation he would never be able to forget, and that was the last thing he needed right now.

Nightmare glared off to the side looking out the window, starting to feel like regretting his every life choice, falling into a Nightmare-paradise-decorated trap only to have his soul owned by this bitch and to be on a chain collar and leash. He glared out the window a little longer and let out a heavy sigh, reminding himself that by the end of the day, the surprise price of his soul was still worth the spoiled easy life he has now, getting to sit back and watch the multiverses get consumed by endless negativity without even having to do anything while his brother is left to rot in a pile of corpses. Though being the pet of a lovey yandere psychotic cannibal God Nightmare still comes with its own separate irritations.

Nightmare’s thoughts were interrupted by a waitress putting down a dark black coffee, a french vanilla milkshake, and a plate of 4 cookies and 2 cinnamon rolls onto the table. “Here’s your order, please enjoy!” She chirped.

Malice stared at Nightmare, the chonky Noot Noot had been dissociating at that window for 15 minutes now and just now moved his gaze down to the table. Malice reached his hand out and gently placed it on top of Nightmare’s, affectionately rubbing his thumb on the side of Nightmare’s index finger. “Hey, you alright over there sweetie..?”

Nightmare visibly jumped and a cyan tint lit up on his cheekbones. He shot up out of the chair and ripped his hand away. “I’M FINE!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!” Unfortunately his shouting got the attention of everyone in the cafe and now they were all staring at him, which only made him all the more embarrassed.

Malice!Nightmare raised an eyebrow, looking unimpressed. He got up, waved his hand in the air which magically made everyone forget what was happening and go back to minding their own business, made his way over to Nightmare, and gently helped him sit back down, handing his very own soul over to help calm Nightmare down, a soul filled with infinite negativity leaking out of the cracks. “It’s alright baby… just take your time… let's wait until you’re feeling all better again, okay..?” Malice!Nightmare then went back to his own seat and sat back down, patiently waiting for Nightmare to be back to normal again.

SORRY FOR THE WAIT GUYS- have 6 paragraphs added to the mini story thats part of my Nightmare Realm AU- uh ignore the gif im pretty sure a demon's trying to posses me rn *cough* (recap link at bottom of w.i.p. story)

“Sooo… what would you like to get? I’m assuming their darkest coffee they have. I’ll probably have a milkshake or something. They have cute treats though, does that look interesting?” Malice asked, teasing Nightmare with a tickly tentacle; which of course Nightmare didn’t appreciate and tried everything in his power to swat it away.

Nightmare glared and growled at Malice, giving up with trying to get rid of the assaulting tentacle and just hoping it’d stop soon. “I don't need anything other than the stupid coffee. Just hurry up and order already.”

Malice!Nightmare shrugged and put the menu down with a smirk. “Suit yourself my lil manbaby.” Then a chonky calico jumped into his lap and decided to make that spot its new napping spot after circling around in place a little bit and settling down curled up in a ball. He glanced down at the cat with a small grin. “Why hello there miss, here to join me and chubbymare over there?”

Nightmare crossed his arms with a snort and rolled his eye. “And you’re just assuming it’s a girl? That thing has just as equal a chance to be a male as it does a female. And you put up a fuss whenever I look at you and see big tits whenever your ecto’s out and call you a woman for it.” He let out another huff while keeping his glare locked on Malice.

Malice!Nightmare slowly moved his gaze back up to meet Nightmare eye-to-eye, and then a cold smirk grew on his face. “You know, if you actually tried learning things in life rather than doomscroll social media every other second, you’d know that it's not possible for a calico to be male. Only in extremely rare cases are there any, and it's a mutation and he won't be able to reproduce. Not to mention the body shape, size, and weight of this cat gives away that she’s a girl simply by itself.”

Malice!Nightmare then smugly leaned back and smirked harder. “And I should have you know it is pretttty outrageous to just label me as a woman just for having big marshmallows. Lots of men have that, not just me.” He then glanced down at Nightmare’s chest and flicked one of his chonky moobs with a tentacle. “Even a cis man like yourself can end up with some pretty big ones if you keep on not doing anything about your weight. I might need to make you start wearing a bra whenever you go shirtless now,” Malice teased.

RAHHH today was a fucking mess so i barely got to write... only 2 paragraphs sadly and it took until now until i could manage to even have enough to post.... (recap link at bottom of w.i.p. story) dont mind the pic of Nightmare just force-feeding a massive jug of water to baby Horror 🥀🥀🥀

It wasn't long until the pair made it to the Cat Cafe Malice!Nightmare had mentioned. Malice opened the door and the little bell hanging above it rang. The cafe was cute and small, not overly small, just a perfect just right kind of small. The cafe was filled with all sorts of cats of different sizes, ages, breeds, and kinds of coats that were littered throughout the place.

The pair found themselves seating in a nice spot by a window. There were no worries of any cats going through a hard time by either Nightmare thankfully, Malice loves cats and he just so happened to have rewritten every Nightmare to like cats as well. There was already a menu on the table so the two decided to just share it.

5 paragraphs YIPPIEEE sorry this post took so long, my brain was everywhere today TwT" (recap link at bottom of w.i.p. story)

As Nightmare was dragged through town by Malice his eye gazed toward a random gift store. He saw they were selling those butter squishy things that have been viral on the internet as of late. He stared at it for a good chunk of time wondering if they were actually as good as influencers said they were, or if people were just view farming with them.

Of course Malice!Nightmare, as observant as ever, caught notice of Nightmare staring at the collection of butter squishies. He actually secretly had one himself and they were honestly as good as they say. He figured Nightmare has also seen them on social media, they’ve been going viral on all sorts of platforms like TikTok and YouTube. He continued to watch Nightmare staring at the pile of goods when an idea hit him. Nightmare clearly seems interested in these things, so maybe if he’s a good little Mare-Mare… he can have one as a reward….

Malice!Nightmare lightly tugged Nightmare along and the two Nightmares continued on their merry way. “You know… I hear there’s a kitty cafe somewhere around here, I wouldn't mind going to it with you.” His voice dropped to a teasing tone and he couldn't help but smirk. “I just know how much you adore having alone time with me, I’m sure it can be something we’d both enjoy.”

“Can you shut up?” Nightmare hissed, his tentacles starting to twitch with irritation. He was halted to a stop as Malice had turned around to stare at him with a grin that knew way too much. “Oh hush sweetie, if you didn't enjoy being alone with me you wouldn't be dragging me over to you all the time to have me sitting beside you.”

Nightmare grit his teeth and clenched his fist as anger and embarrassment flooded him and his face started glowing a light cyan. He knew this was all true and he knew if he tried to deny it Malice would just start yelling around in this public space how much of a “needy clingy baby” he is. He crossed his arms and glared in another direction before his arm was tugged back from his hand still being in Malice!Nightmare’s grasp, and the walk continued.

today was busy (couldnt even get to my DMs until past 5) so i wasnt able to write as much as I wanted to 🥀🥀🥀 hopefully tomorrow I can write more than these pathetic 3 paragraphs QwQ tomorrow I wanna write at least 6 (recap link at bottom of w.i.p. story)

Nightmare snorted and shot his gaze back away. “I’m just fine with the easy and ripe negativity you provide. I don't need to waste my time on idiots anymore when your mere existence does all the work for me.”

Malice!Nightmare let out a dark chuckle and his sneer drew even wider. “Right, so you have just gotten lazy…. Can’t blame you though..!” He released his tentacles off of Nightmare but still kept their hands interlocked by force. He had absolutely no plans of letting go anytime soon.

By now the pair of Nightmares had fully entered the town. No one really seemed to be paying attention to them; everyone thought they were just ordinary Monsters like all the other Monsters in the town. There continued to be moments where Nightmare tried to rip away from Malice’s grip, but the younger Nightmare was surprisingly strong despite his weak build, but then again, Nightmare himself couldn't have much physical strength either with his chonky build.

Nightmare let out a harsh growl under his breath. “I’m not some helpless fucking child. I don't need you to give me easy prey.” He shot his gaze away from Malice!Nightmare because he already knew he was going to get that pity frown from him.

Malice!Nightmare was definitely giving Nightmare the pity frown. Noticing that Nightmare was trying to avoid seeing that look, Malice just leaned in closer to him and wrapped a couple of controlling tentacles around him. “Hmm? Something wrong..?” He had a hint of a teasing growl in his voice as his pity frown turned into a sneer.

Nightmare snorted and tried to pull away. “No, nothing’s wrong. I’m just sick of being babied like this.” He was then suddenly pulled to a halt with Malice and his skull pulled to face Malice directly. “Do you want there to be harder prey, I’m just looking out for you lil mare-mare.”

technically i did write yesterday but it was only 1 paragraph and i felt like that was too little to share so add that with the 2 i was able to write today, and we have 3
but while im here there's just something i wanted to mention to you all who have been so wonderful sitting by and reading my work and cheering me on, basically my mental health has been way out of whack lately. im not going to get into detail, and only share the necessity which is one of the things its doing is impacting my motivation (blaming that part of it on my depression tbh)
i'll try and write as much as i can but if content is low and infrequent im really sorry, tho ig if yalls have any tips for dealing with depression shit to be able to get motivation back it'd be a huge help, plus i'll be able to write more again which that would benefit yalls who are enjoying the story 👍

only two paragraphs cuz i suck (Nightmare) ass 🥀🥀🥀 trying to save my wilting creative juices for an art tomorrow (bro chill out I didn't mention anything about Nightmare asses ur just imagining things) anyways recap link at bottom of w.i.p. story as per usual-

Malice led Nightmare through a short trail in the woods which quickly led to a small town. Every so often Nightmare would try and rip his hand away from the hold but he’d either fail or if he succeeded his hand would just get snatched back up. He slouched and let out an irritated sigh as he was forced to be dragged along like this by Malice!Nightmare.

The town was pretty peaceful and basic. Not many people there but still lively, likely due to the town itself being small. No threats of any Star Sanses or any other goodie-two-shoes heroes appeared to be around, Malice chose for a peaceful place where he and Nightmare would be left alone. “Look, I don't want this to be too stressful on you. No one here should bug us and if you want to do the bugging, the people here are easy targets, perfect for how lazy you’ve gotten!”

6 paragraphs this time! we're starting to get somewhere with the story!! pardon the christmasmare, he's only here for all the santa refs rn XD (see bottom of w.i.p. story for recap link)

Nightmare glared at the Santa Claus comment, but he figured it would be best not to waste his energy on fighting arguments he knew he couldn't win against Malice!Nightmare. “Fine, fine, I get it! I’m the stereotypical fat lard on Discord! Can we just go already?”

Malice gazed down at Nightmare and gave him an unapproving pout. “Don’t call yourself that, you’re a handsome Nightmare! Not a 5000lbs stupidmare! You’re only like 100 pounds overweight right now, that's not even as bad as it could be!”

Nightmare’s glare sharpened as a low grunt escaped him and he rolled his eye. “You’re handsome my ass, you like buff Nightmares, not obese ones.” He then got bonked on the head by an angry Malice tentacle for saying that. “Buff or not, my aroace ass wouldn't be attracted to you ever! Why do you care if I like buffmares or not? You wanna go to the gym to impress me? WELL IT STARTS WITH TOUCHING GRASS YOU BIG STINKY NO-SHOWERING BABYMARE!! You’re taking a bath after this even if it means I have to force you in the tub and clean you myself.” Before Nightmare could further protest he was yanked up by the hood of his hoodie and dragged out of the Nightmare Realm by Malice!Nightmare into some unknown random AU.

The AU appeared to be one where monsters and humans were already thriving together on the surface, and it looked rather normal and modern, nothing all that special. Nightmare threw a pathetic tantrum trying to escape Malice’s grip while he got dragged around. “I can walk on my own, get your tiny girly hands off of me!”

Malice suddenly ripped Nightmare closer and was inches away from his face. “Girly, huh? Do I need to glue silicon breasts onto your ribcage for 24 hours again and make you do house chores in a dress?” His voice was dangerously calm while he spoke with that sweet deceiving smile of his.

Nightmare flinched as the uncomfortable memories flooded through his brain of that experience, he growled and glared off to the side, taking defeat this time. “Fine, I meant your stupid pathetic tiny guy hands. Are you happy now?” Malice gave a creepy warm smile and an approving nod, letting go of Nightmare’s hoodie and holding on to his hand instead as they continued on.

5 new paragraphs and plot established and HOLY SHIT THAT GOT DARK FAST THAT WAS NOT JUST THE WIND- (see bottom of w.i.p. story for recap link)

Nightmare let out a snort as he glared at Malice dead-on. “Whatever, just give me my damn phone back already!” He tried to snatch it up again but it was quickly swiped away from him again, causing him to pathetically fall face-first into one of the couch cushions.

Malice!Nightmare calmly stared down at Nightmare, there was an unsettling stillness in the air, and his voice appeared to have lacked emotion. “You’re not getting this thing back for a week, maybe only 3 days if you’re a good little Mare-Mare for me.” He sat down next to Nightmare and gently tugged his face out of the couch and held him in an embrace that was more controlling than loving. “Baby I think you need to touch some grass with me, come on now. I think you already know what's wrong with your search history….”

Nightmare carefully watched and observed Malice’s behaviour; he knew red flags when he saw them. Cold affection with a sprinkle of more loving words and actions than usual were the first signs of danger when it came to Malice. Nightmare’s mind flashed back to that one Nightmare, the first victim and so far only victim, the one who crossed the line too far with the so-called all-loving Guardian. Images of that one Nightmare getting eaten alive until there was nothing left as Malice stood over her squealing and giggling like a psychopath flashed through Nightmare’s mind, Malice’s body drenched in her blood as he slurped up every last tentacle, bit off every bone, and devoured her soul as she screamed out in pain and agony. When Malice noticed Nightmare saw, he gave Nightmare a loving, sweet smile, and told him it was their little secret. He went on to erase everyone’s memories of that Nightmare, and Nightmare was the only one who knew. But he wasn't scared, in fact he likes seeing if he can get it to happen again, and if anything, it helps him know how far he can push until his life is put in danger.

Nightmare tried to tear himself away and let out a grumpy huff. “Fine, I’ll fucking go outside with you." He glanced back at Malice!Nightmare who already looked as if he wasn't giving any red flags in the first place. “OH WONDERFUL!! Let’s try and make it fun, maybe cause some terror while we’re at it…. And this is good for you anyways, it could help you lose maybe a pound or two!”

Nightmare let out a low growl in response. “I’m not fat.” He was returned by an unimpressed look from Malice who then sprayed him with an ecto potion he had on hand and pointed at Nightmare’s belly. “Really? Cuz you look like Santa Claus.”

WHOLE BUNCHA PARAGRAPHS- YAY!! and about to hit the plot too! (see bottom of w.i.p. story for a recap link)

Passive Nightmare was silent for a moment, staring at where Lust!Nightmare had been pinned down before he was released. When he finally did softly whisper something, his gaze never moved from that spot. “..I didn’t want to bully him…. He didn't deserve it…. But I did it because I wanted dessert… am I a horrible person? I let my greed cause me to hurt someone’s feelings….”

Malice shook his head and let out a soft sigh. “You’re in a world full of Nightmares, many of which corrupted by evil. No one’s going to judge a kid for pulling a prank,” he then let out a small chuckle, “and frankly, he did deserve it. Coming from someone who’s seen that man’s search history, he absolutely deserves to have his ass made fun of.” Malice!Nightmare hugged Passive just a little more tighter, and used one of his tentacles to lightly poke the young boy’s cheek. “If you still feel bad, you can always go say sorry,” his gaze then sharpened a little, “and if you feel like you’re being forced to do something, remember to say no, and if that doesn't work you come to me, understand?”

Passive Nightmare finally looked at Malice and gave a small shy nod. Malice gave his nod of approval and gently set Passive back down and the young boy scurried off back to the rest of the cult. Malice!Nightmare then let out another sigh, crossing his arms. “Speaking of Nightmares and search histories, it's about that time I go look at Nightmare’s phone, isn't it. I need to make that smelly old lard take a shower at some point too; bro fucking smells like he hasnt taken one in 25 years.”

Malice!Nightmare’s body shifted into a more liquified state and he teleported to deeper in the Realm where Nightmare would usually be, reforming behind the couch the old geezer would lounge at, and as predicted, Nightmare was there, doomscrolling TikTok on his phone. Malice gazed down at the screen from behind Nightmare’s back, he was watching AI slop again. Malice!Nightmare snatched up the phone and held it out of reach. “What did I tell you about fucking AI slop??! It’s going to turn you into a braindead heap of shit and you will NEVER get the respect you so strongly desire from every Nightmare here!”

Nightmare let out a startled hiss, he never knew he gained company. He angrily tried to snatch his phone back but couldn't reach. When he tried to use his tentacles they would get blocked by Malice’s. “Give it, NOW.”

Malice!Nightmare gave a mocking pout as he gently pinched Nightmare’s cheek. “Noooo.. I need to check your search history, you big baby!” Nightmare sat still and gave a glare, he wanted to put up more of a fight, but he was smart enough to know he wouldn't stand a chance if he tried.

Malice gave a smug smirk then began scrolling through the phone. “You know this behaviour from you is depressing, you used to be so cool, so you… but now look, my spoiled treatment turned you into a manchild. Annoying, sure. But absolutely cute. Just comes to show you’ll always be my big baby!”

A low growl could be heard rumbling in Nightmare’s chest, but he continued to remain still and silent as Malice continued on with his yapping and scrolling. “Though I should mention you really need to watch out; Littlemare’s cult is going around using that potion you forced Witchcraft to make to reveal people’s ectos to everyone and mock them. It’d be baaaaaad news for you if they found out your body’s become chonky from how lazy you’ve gotten. All that respect and honor you’re trying to gain would completely go down the drain! I should really take you to a gym at some point….” he paused for a moment, glaring at the screen before continuing on. “I guess it’d be like karma if everyone did find out you became fat, karma for every time you used that potion on me to mock my own body and rub the genitals I was born with in my face as if genitals someone’s born with actually define what a person’s gender is.”

managed to write 2 paragraphs of the story i mentioned if u wanna look at it?? BRO ITS NOT EVEN AT THE POINT WHERE THE PLOT STARTS TO BE ESTABLISHED YET 🥀 I feel like I take too long with my writing but eh whatever- first 2 paragraphs if u wanna see em

It was another… somewhat… peaceful day in the Nightmare Realm. As peaceful as you can get for an entire dimension filled with all kinds of Nightmares. The central area was buzzing with activity; Littlemare’s cult consisting of only child Nightmares was up to their usual business, bugging and terrorizing the adult Nightmares. The more mentally weak would be targeted the most, while the mentally strong would tend to be left alone.

Right now their victim was Lust!Nightmare, who struggles with body image, and of course… that was what the cult was tormenting him for. Right now it was Passive Nightmare’s turn to do something, he looked around nervously. He loved the cult and the times where it was only playful mischief, but making fun of someone’s body felt mean….

bro i suck at this 🥀🥀🥀🥀 welp enjoy my garbage lol
