Let's Talk About The Old Abysstale

Hey guys ❤️

I finally moved into my mom's VERY crowded house, and got settled here, but an old injury has resurfaced and made it to the point that I can no longer do my job. My job also has no intentions of accommodation, as they've already made it clear that they want me back at 100% in 12 weeks, or I no longer have a job.

This being said, I will be unpaid either until the tear in my rotator cuff heals or until I can find a new job.

Please consider commissioning my [Art] or [Writing], or possibly donating a [Rootbeer] on my K0-fi for a thank you doodle!

If you can't or aren't interested in doing any of that, please consider reblogging ❤️🙏

Thank you so much!

So the top is what I have so far. Then the bottom two are my references so far.

Artists, how did you get to drawing digitally? I used to be good at drawing (though only from reference) but I can't draw for shit on a phone/tablet/laptop.

I've been thinking about going back into drawing again, I haven't for many years. Idk if I'd still be good. But if I am, I'd love to try my hand at some fanart

I'm debating on posting a wiki about a Sans Au I created. It's the only wiki I have rn on any of my Sanses. I'll probably come back and link it here sometime. Which means I have to check Amino again. I find myself not very active on it, but I may use it to create wikis. I'll probably end up moving the wiki over here- and just post it, maybe info dump too.

I just got an ask about a Native spirit that many Natives have asked monsterfuckers to not use.

It starts with a W.

People from the culture it’s from do not say its name because in their culture, saying the name summons the spirit. Out of respect for my friends from that culture, I do not say/type the name either.

I would kindly ask you not put that creature in my ask box in the future. I know the person that submitted it likely didn’t know so there’s no hard feelings. It’s alright. I’m not upset.

I’m not really the best person to educate folks on this topic and I wish I had some resources on why that’s not a good thing for non-Native people to use for their fiction.

I’m sure even my wording here isn’t great. I know the spirit is from a specific Native culture (there’s a lot of them, for those that didn’t know lol) and I can’t remember which one(s) and my brain is still fuzzy from being sick.

So if any of my followers are familiar with this issue, please feel free to share the info of why this isn’t good.

Again, I understand the person that sent the ask likely didn’t know all this. I’m not upset. I just think it’s worth mentioning.

reblog if you’re okay with people writing fanfics of your fanfics and/or fanfics inspired by your fanfics

Dust is taking you out and wanted to mess with you a lil.

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.

does anyone else feel me. can anyone hear me in here.
