Two Fun (separate) Ideas For Nightmare That Have Been Festering In My Mind For The Past Bit.

💥 💳 💥

drops this here and runs like hell

did i tell u guys i got into an argument on twitter bc i said foxes are dogs and someone tried to bring up their actual fuckin. classification or whatever and i just said “foxes are dogs cause they are fluffye” and they kept arguing with me. the entire time i was like “you will not survive the immigration to tumblr you are lucky we are not there right now”

So now that we've settled down on the memes, I think we can all agree

These two had the same flavor profile

It's been years since I had a trix cereal bar but I will stand by my claim of that being the same taste as the grimace shake

Seize the false idol

Oh yes. Delicious

So why couldn't X!Gaster make the marks go away? If he wanted to "fix" Cross being trans, I feel like that would be a easier way to do it

hello again! i assume this is the same anon xD

i'm sure that that's how he would have eventually chosen to "cure" cross' transness if he'd gotten around to it in time, but in TAU, "code" is something of a misnomer in the first place - it's not something as "easy" (in quotes because code is a pain in the ass for me) to read and understand as like, python or javascript, and especially not in living, sentient entities who are constantly taking in new information, processing it on multiple levels, and generally just... yanno, changing.

so 1: in order to erase cross' transness he would have had to do a deep-dive on a huge tome of code that was actively changing and growing underneath his feet, and 2: in order to delete only that part of his code and nothing more, he'd need to know where it came from.

and the trouble, here, is that cross is not actually a "pure" sans.

in fact, speaking more meta - gaster would have no way to know this for sure - i'd like to think that cross' eye markings are technically because he's part toriel. not a super significant amount, mind you, but he is the only person in nightmare's pantheon who can heal, he inexplicably loves to bake even where swap/blue doesn't, and in certain AUs where he reaches LV 20... he mysteriously grows horns.

again, speaking meta, i would have to assume that his eye markings are probably related to that bit of code - but in order to find and erase it, gaster would have to basically destroy his sense of self and start over. so even if he'd gotten to that point and tried to "fix it", he likely would have given up anyway simply because it wasn't worth the work it would take - and in that case, there are easier "solutions" to be had.

Never knew this, will avoid in the future!

PLEASE BE CAREFUL FOR ANYONE WHO USES “BLUEBUFFALO” FOR THEIR DOGS!!

Hey, @topazshadowwolf . I know this isn't the most polished or accurate picture, but I wanted to draw your late kitty Hickman for you. We all appreciate you and your works, and this is my way of thanking you. You have made me laugh and cry and especially daww on numerous occasions with your great writing. You are what I think of when I imagine any scenario of Dadmare, and what I compare to when reading anyone else's works about it. You are so inspiring as a storyteller, and I thank you for providing all that you have to us.

You have said through Nightmare that there are times to be sad, and now is one of those times. I hope that you are able to mourn him properly. I don't know if your beliefs allow for animals in heaven, but I thought you might like a version of him with wings and a halo.

I do not do the tumblr very often but I feel like everyone can relate to this emotion I've captured

MINE.

I was today years old when I learned that when you type “otp: true” in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship
