A Bit Of A Rant - Tumblr Posts
Well, we’re nearing almost a month since Villain chapter one (which 14 people have read!!! That’s a lot of people you can’t tell me otherwise!!!!) and I’ve barely made any progress on chapter two. Between the fatigue that comes with anemia (and another mystery ailment that I’m going through tests to figure out) school, work, a fatal case of writer’s block and the general chaos of life, I just haven’t had the time or energy to write. I can’t promise any specifics, but chapter two will be out before winter!
Before I say anything else, this is a freaking awesome piece of art right here. I love it!
Now. I mainly write sympathetic! Nightmare's Gang. And I don't tend to look all that favorably on Dream. While I'm fairly certain that what Dream sees in the last panel is reality, I can't help but see it both ways.
There's a Dream who sees the terrified face of the brother he lost, who thinks he's hurting his brother again. When, in reality, Nightmare is far from that little kid, someone who hurts others without remorse because he himself once suffered.
There's also a Dream that refuses to acknowledge that Nightmare is still his brother, and still terrified of being hurt. But Dream can't see beyond the negative actions his brother took during the Apple Incident and needs to see him as the villain to justify his own actions.
There's also the possibility of both, Nightmare still being terrified of being hurt, but covering up his emotions before Dream can really piece it together. Just hiding his fear, as he's supposed to be better, stronger, than what he was back at the village.

and then someone needs you to do something at 12 o'clock, so now you have to repeat the entire process of calculating when you can eat, because if you don't eat you're gonna forget and if you forget to eat you're gonna have a meltdown, but then the person says at 11:30 "Hey, I actually don't need your help anyway!" and then you have to do the entire process AGAIN and suddenly you're crying and nobody understands
