This fic is more of a fun fic for onyxonline's Space Riders AU! This is mainly centered as the headcanoned sibling dynamic between Eve Ewe and DogDay! Please check Onyx out, their work is super cool!
DogDay felt emptiness. His mind was dulled as he tried to wake up. He felt like he was floating in the cosmos, the faint sounds of whispering angels ringing in his ears.
He then found himself at a magical place, something similar to Eden's outskirts. The sound of an owl echoed as it flew above his head and landed on the branch of a weeping willow.
"Captain DogDay. My, how you've grown."
DogDay flinched at the sound of his title as captain, quickly turning his head to whoever said.
A tall, roughly 11ft, woman sat in a bark throne made from the tree behind her. Her hair glided against no wind as her piercing teal eyes stared down at the captain. Owls perched around her like pets, waiting for her call to either attack or to befriend.
DogDay took note of the teal eyes and immediately bowed.
"Q-Queen Aurora!"
The queen lightly laughed and leaned forward, her finger under his chin. Despite her tall stature after death, she still had her benevolence.
"Now now, captain. No need to bow, not anymore. Save that for my little Eve."
DogDay nodded and stood up nervously. He didn't really know how to react, meeting Eve's mother like this in what seemed to be a dream to the afterlife.
The queen calmly scooped him up with her gentle hands, the captain being so small compared to her size.
"You have protected my little Eve very well after me and Lucien's passing. I give you my appreciation for it. But I have noticed something in particular."
DogDay went silent for a moment. He didn't understand what she was implying, it was almost scary. Yet he let her continue on.
"I give you my blessing, DogDay Solaris, to become my little Eve's older brother and my son."
DogDay then went to a stunned state. Her son? But she was a demon, a demoness at a very high rank in her hierarchy. Was it logical? What if the council in Eden found out? All those worries filled his head.
"Your Highness, I don't get it. What of the council? What about the other demons? Is this all even safe?"
The queen giggled, a ghostly aura to her.
"My dear, Lucien does not tolerate such of that. If those old kooks decide to harass you for being my son, he will not hesitate to send a little lightning their way as a warning."
DogDay slowly nodded, trying to peace everything together. As he did so, Aurora comfortingly kissed his head.
"Go now, my little shining sun. Your sisters will miss you."
--------------------------------------------
"DogDay! DogDay, this is no time to be napping! It's mission time!
DogDay suddenly woke up in his room, hearing the youngest sisters Felicite and Melanie in his ears as he was shaken mainly by Felicite.
"Wha- what do you two mean by a 'mission time'?"
Melanie lightly shrugged and plopped onto his bed.
"'Mission time' is when we go steal tarts from the kitchen. And you have to stand guard so we can steal them!"
DogDay sighed yet chuckled and shook his head.
"Alright, you rascals. But you have to eat only three. You two can't really manage sweets like that."
The little ferret and mink princesses groaned and ran out of his room for the kitchen downstairs of the palace.
DogDay looked out the balcony, the stars behind the forcefield that shielded Eden still glowed beautifully. As he smiled, a certain big and bright star twinkled in response.
Aurora was watching. His new family was watching him.
Heyo! I love your art so much, as well as your mean girl Nightmare(I've halfway been imagining him with a *little* Regina George every time I've read that on this blog, no apologies for it) I was wondering, how do you think he'd react if Dream, Killer, just somebody who knew of his past just says; "You're just like them. The villagers.". Or ANY variation of that? Just the thought of him being the same as his past abusers, tormenting someone he dislikes, for what, because what have they truly done to deserve it? The idea of becoming the same of those who have hurt him, how would he react to that? I feel like if Dream said it, it would be more of an acceptance of how different his brother is, and how he'll never get his Nightmare that he knew and loved back, because his brother would never do this. Killer might say it to be a lil shit and torment him.
Just a thought I had! Hope you're having an fantastic day!
Hello!!! Thank you so much!! <33333 and good good don’t apologize cause it’s completely accurate to think of Regina George and I’m actually guilty of thinking the same thing like honestly fits shhshs
Here’s the Regina George Nightmare we all need
Now back to the main point shdhhd
Y’know funny thing is I can imagine his reaction would definitely differ depending on who says it, if it’s someone like Killer or anyone else other than Dream, I can imagine him feeling slightly offended/angry by it, but it wouldn’t have much of an impact, cause what does Killer truly know? Killer never saw/ known those villagers, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, at least that’s the mindset Nightmare would have, he’d just threaten Killer to zip it or simply throw him across the room
I can’t truly imagine Dream saying such a thing to Nightmare but I can definitely see the opposite with Nightmare saying it to Dream (which cough i already drew before >:) ) but we’re talking hypothetically so let’s talk about how he’d feel if Dream said it cause god, I wholeheartedly believe if Dream said it then hell would break loose
Cause the thing is, Dream was there, he knew those villagers, he knew how they were like and he knew how bad they were, Dream lived those days with him, but even then, while Dream endured a different kind of abuse, the villagers actually loved Dream, and they hated Nightmare, so how could Dream, who never had a single villager lay a finger on him, how could his twin of all people to say to him that he’s like his abusers??? Nightmare would go through the five stages of grief in 5 seconds
He’d be in so much denial, only to settle on pure unfiltered rage, cause how dare Dream, his twin, his blood and magic, tell him that he’s like them?
I can see Nightmare making excuses for his own actions, that he’s only doing all this to make them pay, he’d even say something along the lines of “so what if i am like them??” To convince himself that the idea of being like them doesn’t bother him (all while it fucking eats away at him) I can see Nightmare making excuses for why Dream would think such a thing, “you’re just drained of your magic, you’re confused”
I can see him go after Dream all the more aggressively, intent to kill cause how fucking dare he??
But then I can see the rage and fight leave Nightmare to finally settle on depression and resignation, all while part of him is still (and will forever be) in absolute denial
He knows he’s not like them, he never was and never will be
But why would he be an absolute mess by Dream saying it? Cause I wholeheartedly believe Nightmare would never expect Dream to compare him to the villagers, cause when your own twin says it it just cuts the much much much deeper
Hell I can even see Nightmare actually crying tears of frustration, maybe not in front of Dream cause Nightmare had become so used to isolating himself and keeping his emotions inside, and with his mindset of never wanting to appear weak he’d only let those tears out once he is sure he’s all alone
Because by god, he never thought it’d hurt so much to hear those words uttered by his brother, but they did hurt, and he’ll hurt Dream all the much worse for it
(Same to you!! Hope you’re haveing a wonderful day/night <333)
Eurylochus: Captain! Something approaches...
Scylla: Hello.
Eurylochus: Oh gods! Is this why you told me to light six torches?! Do you intend to sacrifice us?!
Odysseus: Did I say torches? I meant candles.
Eurylochus: What...?
Odysseus: Just watch.
Odysseus: *faces Scylla, clears throat*
Odysseus: 🎶 There are other ways of persuasion... 🎶
Scylla: 😳😳😳
Odysseus: I miss my wife
Polites(Very drunk): I can be your wife
Odysseus: what?
Polites: *looks at Odysseus for a solid second before rolling over into him*
"i. Can be. Your wife."
Odysseus: intense bi panic, but also for some reason still hasn't pushed Polites off
Polites: "so do I need to wear a dress or..."
Odysseus: "no no this is fine"

Smiling Critters Spellcasters AU- Dark Mode
Because it’s not a magical girl AU without the obligatory dark magical girl mode
What is Dark Mode?
Dark mode is a stage in which a witch or wizard uses dark magic in abundance, it doesnt necessarily makes the person evil, but they may reflect the worst of themselves, or may be a teensy bit more unhinged, it all depends on the individual entering that mode. Furthermore, their outfit changes as well, usually wearing mostly black.
Thankfully this mode is not permanent and the person can be purified with pure magic, calming them down is also a good tactic..or if you crave violence just bonk them in the head to knock them unconcious lmao.
Individual designs
My discord server went insane with this
