Divorce 💔.

AHHHH I FORGOT TO POST THESE

Idk I had this template saved in my gallery for ages.

Just wanted play with the colors. Couldn't draw him in a good pose bc I am tired af.

He looks too much happy.

"dream was secretly evil and manipulative the whole time" idk about you but making the typically morally good character the secret bad guy isn't the plot and expectation subversion you think it is.

close enough

I think Color and dream would be very close. Or at the very least have a mutual understanding of each other due to their very similar circumstances surrounding their past and personalities. The two have both lost their siblings and their world to a horror beyond their comprehension; they are forced to fight and have lost memories because of this. No one in othertale will know about sans because his entire existence was wiped out after a reset, and no one ever got to know the real dream due to his abuse at the hands of villagers, making him out to a person who’s all smiles, never struggles with his mental health, and HAS to be the reason why others are happy/kept happy. The only person who really knew dream was passive, and he died unaware of the abuse dream was going through as well. Dream and Color both lost their worlds and their history. Dreamtale is nothing more than dead grass, a tree stump and mindless, rabid, negativity filled villagers; No one knows it’s story except for Dream because the corruption can barely remember passive’s memories. Othertale never had a sans (or a gaster) and it’ll be kept that way forever. 

What do color and dream do in response? They bury themselves in their work, helping others achieve happiness while continuing to neglect their own. They are both different ends of a spectrem on how they allow themselves to be treated as doormats. Dream always forsakes his own health for others and keeps himself in isolation out of fear of his aura affecting someone, manipulating them into friendship. Worse, they get addicted or become a victim of corrupted nightmare. He believes he has to be the reason why others are happy and will tear himself in two if it meant the safety of someone else (-1000 self preservation skills).

Color on the other hand doesn’t bend backward and fall to the calls of others like Dream, but still puts himself into dangerous circumstances to the point he becomes obsessed with fixing all of it. Killer is an example as he KNOWS how dangerous trying to get him is, but seemingly dedicates his life to saving killer despite the risks. It doesn’t help that just like dream, he has internal forces that make him more likely to do things like this (specifically the soul traits). Color would good and well die for killer and they both know it. Of course killer doesn’t fully understand but it’s just the way color is.

And of course, they bottle up their emotions to age them like fine wine. They’d have their limb chewed off but the moment they see someone else injured it’s like their wound was just them getting nipped by a puppy. Dream would apologize for not healing them sooner and Color would just outright ignore or hide the injury in an attempt to heal whoevers hurt. Emotionally they’re closed off as well. Color isn’t going to say how he’s feeling (-1000 for being a sans too so he’s not going to budge), and dream would rather deepthroat a cactus before stating how he feels. 

it's just kind of sad that they'd get along with each other so well but it's really because of how they treat themselves and others.

Guess what. Those pages were at my desk for two years and i colored and translated it in an hour because i was bored. Funny isn't it? :)

Also, if you like what im doing, consider to support me on patreon and kofi! :3

ALSO WHILE IM AT IT

Stop blaming Dream for not knowing about the villagers. Yes, Nightmare was clearly hurt and being abused, but everyone forgets that DREAM WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD. He can not psychologically comprehend abuse- let along physical- and can hardly understand what bullying is. He’s an elementary schooler. He doesn’t know how to pick apart the signs of abuse from another eight year old who also doesn’t comprehend what is happening to him. Dream had no idea the apple incident could happen. He doesn’t even comprehend what depression is or mental health stuff at all. HE IS EIGHT. No matter the amount of signs, he is a child who is mentally incapable of noticing what’s happening to his brother, and it’s up to adults to notice stuff like that, but it’s the ADULTS who failed them.

They were both children, and yes, having Dream feel guilty as an adult for not noticing is a valid thought he’d have, but you yourself blaming him too is not. Even if Dream did somehow comprehend what was happening, HES EIGHT.

To give a better perspective on what eight year old milestones are and how little Dream could do with his mental capacity….

-they start to learn how to count by 2s (Dream likely couldn’t Read very well because nobody taught him)

-still are losing their baby teeth

-Have a black-and-white perspective much of the time. Things are either great or awful, ugly or beautiful, right or wrong. They focus on one trait or idea at a time. This makes it hard for them to understand complex issues. AHEM???

-sfill don’t have a full grasp of grammar in writing or speech

-just starting to learn to tie their shoes

He was a literal baby who didn’t know how to tie his shoes without help. Hoe the hell was he supposed to stop adults from abusing his brother? He couldn’t tell anyone, because all the adults besides Neil were against them. And also FUCK NEIL. Neil DISNT step in to help baby Nightmare, only Dream. FUCK THAT CAT. HE LET TWO EIGHT YEAR OLFS LIVE OUTSIDE AND GET ABUSED BY A VILLAGE OF ADULTS. HE IS NOT A GOOD FATHER FIGURE FOR DREAM HE DID NOTHING WHILE THEY WERE BEING ABUSED BESIDES GIVE DREAM ENCOURAGEMENT.

Edit: yeah apparently he was six so fuck y’all even more he’s a kindergartner I’m gonna kill someone that poor baby

FINALLY I MADE A HUMAN DESIGN FOR DREAM.

The design is mine btw.

Dram belongs to @jokublog

So as we can see I am also a ut artist and I am finally comfortable to post about it bc the fandom is kinda mentally stable this year. I will say I will also drop my own personal human designs of the other characters as well.

Is this anything
