In reference to my previous post! Its not really a 'swap dream' as he's known.
It is not an AT of dreamtale, but what i would imagine dream would come to be if hopes and dreams were seen to evolve into a toxic psyche. So essentially the same premise of swad but not so in the sense that this is 'corruption'.
This is possible for nightmare to become also (although overwhelmed by negativity instead), so both freesprite!dream and freesprite!nightmare would be able to exist in the same universe and time.
Its just a balance standard both twins have to mind unless they lose themselves to this transformation. The message is the same - leaning on one thing too much and it will eventually collapse under your weight

Nim is a Frisk variant of DreamTale*. Their age and sex is unknown. Nim is a witness to their motherlands' invasion and occupation - They are an aboriginal population of Mesoamerica, specifically belonging to a culturally indigenous group long ago, and now forgotten by Nim, not to say that they don't often reminisce on something lost to their degraded memory. Immortality left Nim's recollection in ruin.
Nim has been reduced to just her arm these days /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ I've made him a very sad character

I think NM would recruit other monsters/people than exclusively sans's. Maybe they wouldn't be permanent members but it would seem likely a classic chara would be approached by NM for them to visit him periodically, or when it suits them, to be temporarily contracted to him. I just cant think of what kind of leverage Nm has over Chara, or if he would have something others would want in exchange for their services. Maybe the deranged truly dont need anything in return, and are happy to exercise their brutality simply for the sake of it ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ hm
NM is a little shorter than all of his primary subordinates BUT he has such an incredibly imposing aura that anyone around him doesn't notice this
Oh, nightmares loathed weakness- dream knows him too well t.t he would see right through the bluff

As much as i do like doting horror where he is commonly cooking, taking care of members.
Realistically, I see him being hopeless in taking care of any other thing, where he can barely look after himself. If he was reintegrated into a relatively functional dynamic where food is plenty, he will still forget to eat and if asked to cook, wouldn't know a pot from a pan(not really but he certainly wouldnt know his way around a kitchen). His mind must be so very degraded from malnutrition and the state of his AU that any form of normalcy would take heavy conditioning to break his habits and compulsions
I even feel it might be rather cruel to get horror to cook anything anyway at least at the start of his emergence from his AU, it would surely be very overwhleming and uncomfortable for horror to suddenly be faced with an over abundance of the source of his loved ones misery and a reminder of his guilt and/or the way he has changed. Because if resources are at his fingertips, and he knows his AU truly didnt have to suffer, he must wonder what the suffered agony had all been for.
But then it could be discussed that because nm's members are not emotionally aware and would stick horror with a cooking job anyway, regardless of if he was of sound mind to do it, and horror will have to confront disjointed thoughts about it while somewhat unhealthily or forcefully dealing with his issues. So maybe he partially mends a relationship with food in that he can handle it, but its more of putting a bandaid ontop of a bullet wound, where the core damage hasnt been dealt with.
Im not sure if horror could ever go back to his selfless ideals at the start of his undergrounds doom. Where he would share anything he had to other monsters more in need. Im sure that well-loved and personable part of his spirit is still curled inside of him, but has been crushed to pieces after betrayal and burdened with the self fulfilling prophecy of sustaining his small community. I feel he is far too broken and self-loathing to truly go back, which entirely seperates himself from classic. This is why a healing narrative of horror would be so satisfying, you can completely deconstruct his thought processes from a horridly altered world.
Hmm why is he portrayed so fatherly or too-serious too? Or maybe too slow to get jokes or keep up in conversation? He would join in on the fun of killer, dust, etc. just as any other sans, do people forget his unnerving hand spike? How insane! Hes certainly not some wiser than his years guy or stickler for caring action, he seems sharp and witty and just as lazy as his original counterpart
Either way, i dont disagree about putting horror in a pretty pink apron :-3
