Imagine If Red Was Drawn Afab, But Because Everyone Around Them Had The Same They/them Pronouns They

Oh yeah, that Hunter stuff is dumb as fuck.

There's a reason almost nobody ever follows that; even when little Nighty dies. In Im_Sorry_Buddy's fanfic Spilled Ink, it's just corruption overtaking him and not a third party haunting his corpse.

Dream is always more interesting when he combats negative emotions, and Nightmare is always more interesting when he is (at least most of the time) in control of himself. (Passive and Corruption sharing a body is also interesting, but I haven't ever seen Passive with Hunter and For Good Fucking Reason.)

Words cannot describe how much I despise the og dreamtale story, and I'll share why.

if we're speaking purely by the barebones plot, dreamtale can be, on a surface level, considered a well put together story on how there are different ways to feel negative and positive emotions and how feeling negativity towards some things is healthy, but letting it consume you leads to you yourself becoming what you previously hated the most. It also explores how being to positive and not letting yourself feel negative emotion is harmful toward your mental health and wellbeing.

This is where I think Dreamtale fundamentally fails.

Joku decided to write Nightmare (and dream but we'll get there) in a way that actually harms the story its trying to tell.

Passive is an innocent child, bullied for something he cannot control, this is because the people around him associate negative emotion and negativity = Bad, harmful. As the readers, we know this isn't the case, but eventually, passive is pushed over the edge and consumes one of the apples of negativity.

Nightmare is immediately corrupted, but instead of Nightmare being well.... nightmare, passive is apparently dead and nightmare is now a dead, vengeful hunter that had tried to slay Nim (Dream and Nightmares Mother) a soul was trapped in the tree?

This could be Joku trying to convey that sometimes negativity can consume a person so much it fundamentally changes them, but this is much less impactful. We have not grown close to this Nightmare, we just know that he's evil now, and he wants to kill everyone yet also have more negativity? The only motive that makes sense is killing his brother.

I believe that this could have been much more impactful if we cut the hunter out entirely and portray Nightmare as he really was when he transformed; A scared, hurt child.

Nightmare wasn't immediately this imposing, dark, and looming figure of uncertain fate, he was a child whose negative emotions consumed him, and being a young child, he lashed out.

And he would continue lashing out, for many years, many different villages. But as he aged, he also matured and realized that the murder of thousands of people would not help him achieve his main goal: Killing Dream. After this realization, he hid himself away in an abandoned castle, collecting his followers from across the multiverse and preparing for the fights with Dream soon to come.

Dream is a little more complicated to asses, as throughout the story, he is portrayed as an innocent baby who can never do anything wrong.

But Dream is an adult.... and he should be treated as such. we never see any of Dreams flaws and disadvantages explored, only the fact that he loves his brother.

I wish we could've seen Dream struggle with negative emotions and feels as thought he must bottle them up being the guardian of positivity.

I want to see him look back and hate the villagers that hurt his brother, and he has to come and confront the fact that he has hate and negativity in his soul and its okay to feel those emotions.

But this is all just my opinion, share your thoughts/how you think the story could have been handled better.

👏

Had an impromptu chat with @ushi418 about fashion history the other day- thought I’d post it here as a quick ref for people!

Thank you for answering my question! I thought with like 98% certainty that he would accept them, but I just had to make sure, y'know? This is a very nice and complex answer, and it satisfies me greatly.

Go Loving And Supportive Dadmare!!

I just asked this on a pretty old post about gooptales, but I thought I would do it here.

You say that nightmare already knows what the end result would be if the boys were trans, so he would either accept them if he knew them as trans already, or redirect them if he knew it wasn't actually the right gender.

Well, what if the adult he once knew was wrong, and didn't have the chance or idea to explore their gender? How would he react then if the skeleton kept saying it as they matured?

Just think about this dadmare version of Nightmare. He sees these idiots as his family, no matter how they see themselves or what they did. The boys are his idiots; no matter what, they will still be his idiots.

He will mourn the old them, as he is already starting to do. I have shown and hinted that he has started to question what it will be like if he raises them.

GoopTales-First Scene of Chapter 5 or Part 17:

"This evening had been nice. They ate dinner together, played a board game, and enjoyed each other's company. But the fact is that his boys were different. As enjoyable as this afternoon and evening were, he wanted the adults back. He even missed the chaos of them. He would know they were alright if they were their true selves again. Additionally, they would know who he was and not be wondering why they couldn’t go home.

(Except for Dust, that one could use being raised by him. A far better option than his actual childhood.)

But even the adult Dust he sorely missed."

---

Even if they don't have any changes like being or not being trans or having a different sexual orientation, as previously asked, he knows they will not be the exact same as they were before. Their life experiences have changed, which means there will be changes. Regardless, he still loves them, and he will love whoever they grow up to be. He already considers them his, and that will never change.

Knowing that, take whatever scenarios you want and apply. Is the person in question one of his idiots? Yes? Then that person will always be one of his idiots, no matter who they are, change to be, or what happens to them. And to make it clear, if he feels there is a need to guide or redirect, it would be gentle. If he realizes they are correct and he is not, then he will adjust. In Growing Up GoopTales, when it comes to all things involving the gang, he would guide them so they can be at their best.

And most importantly, he will always, always, love them.

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)

Aaron Rutten (free)

BoroCG (free)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Those are the ones I can recall.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

Never knew this, will avoid in the future!

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”

Temples are built for gods. Knowing this a farmer builds a small temple to see what kind of god turns up.

people need to realise that a poor little meow meow must be a character who has committed atrocities you cannot poor little meow meow a good guy that’s not how this works

VERY late to the bunny suit trend, but here's the twist I made for my lamb!! It's a lil baby!! In a lil onesie!!

I think they look great in it.
